--All is going well in the Naruto world. The war has ended, and Naruto is being named Hokage. But when a group of assassins kills off every villager, Naruto gets put into an induced coma for four years. And when he wakes up, he's set out for revenge. ----Based off of Kill Bill---

Yay! Chapter two's up! And here's my play-by-play, instead of making it like the movie, I'm going to make everything go chronologically. That way, it's easier to understand. Also, remember the stranger-thingy in the first paragraph of the last chapter? Yeah, that was Kankuro. He was supposed to be Suna's representative who was going to attend Naruto's coronation. But with the massacre, yeah… That couldn't happen, so he called a team of Suna experts and ANBU to the scene. Enjoy!

Also, if something is bold and italiacs then it's Naruto's narration of things.

2. The Blood-Spattered Boy

"Well, give me the details." the jonin-level Suna kunoichi said to her brother.

"It's a goddamn massacre," the puppet master said. "The assassins got everyone from villager folk to the rich and spoiled to the shinobi."

"Give me the figure."

"All of the villagers… Everyone is dead."

"All of them?"

"Well . . . some of the shinobi are unaccounted for, but they're probably in hiding or they're pursuing the killers at this moment. Most likely hiding."

"Hiding?" Temari asked, out of disbelief.

"Well, yeah… Whoever did this must be awfully powerful to take out the whole village in less than a day. The attack was quick, and it came as quite a surprise."

The kunoichi heaved a sigh and followed her brother into the Hokage mansion, the place where most of their friends' bodies laid.

"Looks like somebody didn't like the fact that Naruto was going to become Hokage." Kankuro said, trying to lightening up the mood.

"Or . . ." Temari said, breaking it again, "They didn't want him marrying the Hyuga heir."

"What?"

"Tell me, Kankuro. Did you find any of Hyuga clan members' bodies? The ones from the main family?"

"No, just Neji's and a few of the branch members."

"There's more to this than just a regular and random massacre. This was planned." the kunoichi said, walking around the crime scene. "Hinata's father, Hyuga Hiashi, opposed the union between Hinata and Naruto—in fact, he hated it. He was angered, definitely angered, because the wedding was to be out of wedlock. Now . . . who would want their daughter to marry the guy who screwed her?"

"Whoa..!" Kankuro gasped. "Are you saying that Hinata was pregnant?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Cuz I didn't know!" Kankuro answered but, seeing his older sister's serious expression, he quickly added, "But . . . you may be on to something. We didn't find any of Hinata's immediate family members nor did we find her body. Her father's probably the one behind all of this."

"Not only that, but he probably had help, too." the girl said, examining the scene."Whoever did this . . . they weren't amateurs. You can tell by the cleanliness of the crime. [They're] probably Orochimaru's subordinates or at least they trained under him. This may have been all out of revenge. They also probably had inside help."

"Whoa! Slow down!" Kankuro said. "So . . . you're saying . . . that Hyuga Hiashi could be a part of this . . . but, at the same time . . . he may not be? And that some of Orochimaru's old students . . . killed . . . all of Konoha . . . maybe for revenge? And that . . . there could also be . . . traitors involved with this?"

"Yes." Temari answered without hesitation. "Whoever did this didn't set off any of the traps hiding within this building, and most of the traps were disabled. If I had to take a guess, it was probably someone high up in ranks . . . or at least close enough to the politicians to get the blueprints of this building."

Kankuro nodded his head, understandingly. He knew his sister was never far off from the right answer but, given the little evidence, she could've been wrong. However, he knew his sister was never completely wrong, but . . . he wanted to believe that his friends didn't suffer in their last moments especially not out of heartbreak.

"I can't believe this happened…" Temari cried to herself. "Gaara's going to be immensely pissed off…" Suddenly, her cries cut off as a new plot came into her mind. "Wait a minute… Did you find Sakura and Sasuke's bodies?" she shot that question at her brother.

Kankuro staggered a bit. He didn't expect that question. "No-No-Nope, figured they just went after Naruto's killer. After all, the Uchiha is an avenger. Sakura probably just followed him."

"No…" Temari said, looking over the whole crime scene again. She pointed to a spot where there was no blood at all, and an outline of a human body could be seen. "You see that? Someone was laying there, probably unconscious. It could've either been Hinata or Sakura—probably both since there's a huge smudge next to it. Hiashi wouldn't kill his daughter let alone the heir to his clan. And if I know Sasuke from what Sakura told me, he probably knocked her out and placed her on the floor while he dealt with Naruto."

"Wait… You think the Uchiha had something to do with this? That he did all of this?"

"Yes . . . but not by himself. His team, Hebi, most certainly helped him . . . probably along with Madara while Hinata's father gave the orders."

"You really think that?"

"Hm… Well, judging from the crime itself, I'd say that it was planned ahead of time… Maybe even since before the Uchiha returned to Konoha…"

"Bastard… I knew he couldn't be trusted…"

"There's no way to be sure." Temari said. "Maybe he's innocent, just as we had thought."

"Innocent my ass," Kankuro muttered.

Temari was quiet for a while but then, in a meek voice, she asked, "What do you think happened to Sakura?"

Kankuro didn't know how to answer her. Sakura was, after all, one of Temari's closest friends. He didn't want his sister to be hurt, but he gave her his true thoughts. "If Sasuke knocked her out like you think, she's probably still alive—possibly in critical condition. Should we get a team out to search for her?"

". . . I want to say yes, but . . . there's no certainty that Sakura had no part in this either. For all we know, she could've been the traitor—the one who disabled the traps within this building. She was, after all, the Hokage's apprentice. She knows how Konoha is laid out. And if she did disable the traps and helped the assassins get into the village, she's as liable and as guilty as those who planned this."

"So . . . no to the search party?"

"We'll get Gaara to decide on that…"

"Yeah…" His reply trailed off as he noticed something was strange about Naruto's body. He bent down and placed his finger right under the blonde's nose.

"What's wrong?" Temari asked.

"I think . . . I think Naruto's still alive!"

"What!?"

The puppet master placed two fingers at the base of Naruto's neck and nodded."Yep, he's still alive! Medic! Someone get a medic in here! Medic!"

Hours later, in Suna hospital, the only sounds heard were high-heel shoes clicking against the cold floor and a woman, dressed up as a nurse, whistling. She carried a tray. On it were a needle and some kind of black ooze. And as she looked down at Naruto, the intent of murder was in her eyes.

Yeah, this lady who's dressed as a nurse… Yeah, she's not really a nurse. In fact, quite the opposite actually . . . she's out on an errand . . . an errand to kill me. Her name? Guren. She used to be the female leader of Orochimaru's subordinates. And she uses the unique Crystal Release brand of jutsu, so it's not surprising that her codename's Crystal Crimson Lotus. But for a flower, she's a nasty little piece of work.

"I might have never liked you…" Guren said. "Quite in fact, I despise you—I despise anyone who my lovers hate—but that shouldn't suggest I don't respect you." She took the needle off of its tray and stuck the black ooze into it.

"Dying in our sleep . . ." she continued, "is a luxury that our kind has rarely afforded. My gift . . . to you…" She stuck the needle into one of the tubes that connected to Naruto's arm, into his bloodstream. But just as she was about to inject him with the poison, a man came in and stopped her.

Rolling her eyes, she greeted the nuisance. "Hello, Kabuto."

"Hiashi-dono wants to know his condition." the silver-haired man said.

"Comatose, as you can plainly see, in Suna hospital."

He didn't say anything to that. "Wonderful work sneaking in here but, as wonderful as it may be," he said, "Hiashi-dono wants you to abort the mission."

"WHAT!?!"

"It was Hinata-san's words that got him convinced. I believe his message to you is 'We owe him better than that, so abort the mission.'"

"OH NO, WE DON'T OWE HIM SHIT!!"

"When you keep your voice down--"

"We don't owe him shit!" Guren repeated, this time in a whisper.

"May I say one thing?" Kabuto asked.

"Speak."

"You and Team Hebi beat the heck out of this boy, but you didn't kill him. And Hiashi-dono put a bullet through his head, but his heart just kept on beating. Now, you saw that yourself with your own two eyes. But you know what? We've done a lot of things to this boy and, if he ever wakes up, we'll do a whole lot more. But one thing we won't do and the one thing that Hiashi-dono will never consider again is sneaking into his room . . . in the dead of night . . . like a filthy rat . . . and killing him in his sleep. And the reason we won't do that thing, Hiashi-dono said, is because that thing . . . would lower us. Don't you agree Miss. Lotus?"

" . . . I guess…"

"Do you really have to guess?"

Guren sighed, throwing back her head in exasperation."No… I don't really have to guess… I know."

"Then it's time to go back home."

"Affirmative."

And the white-haired man left . . . out the way that he came in—through the window.

"Fucking asshole…" Guren muttered as she walked over to the Kyuubi-container. "Thought that was fucking funny, didn't you?" She glared at the boy. "Word of advice, shithead: don't you ever wake up."

Yeah, I'm done, but I guess that means that the next chapter will come out later... Oh well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please review!
