A/N: This is an A/U fic. Just thought I should mention that REVIEW!
Chapter 3
Team seven appeared in Tsunade's office and saw her surrounded by sake bottles.
"Good you're here," Tsunade said looking up, "Now you're mission involves the eight tail or Hachibi,"
"So we have to seal it and do we have a demon keeper?" Sakura asked.
"None as of yet but understand that once the demon is trapped in one of the elements, there is no need for a demon keeper," Tsunade said.
"That is right but it also means that the demon can be easily taken from us," Sakura explained, "A placed into any body. It wouldn't be a full seal unless I do it however the demon's power will be inside the body where it was seal,"
"Well we're taking that risk aren't we?" Tsunade asked, "Your mother will be joining you as well to insure to don't lose control,"
"Hai," Sakura said.
Rin came out with a smile on her face.
"Wait Rin is your mom???" Naruto shouted.
"Hai Naruto," Rin replied.
"Wait does that mean that you and Kakashi are__" Naruto looked at Rin and Kakashi as he spoke.
"NO!" Rin shouted.
"We're not together!" Kakashi added.
"Huh why not?" Naruto asked, "If Sakura-chan is your daughter shouldn't you be together??"
"No that doesn't mean we have to be together," Rin said, "Sakura was a surprise by herself but I never regretted having her. What I do regret is meeting him!" She pointed a finger at Kakashi and Tsuande looked at them as if they were crazy.
"Okay," Tsuande said, "Have your lover's argument later!"
"We're not lovers!" Rin shouted, "We're friends if you can call it that,"
"Well whatever," Tsunade said, "Just go and do your mission,"
She handed them a file to read before they left, "And good luck,"
Everyone left to go back to their rooms to get what they needed. Sakura changed her clothes and placed on her black skirt that was slit on either side and underneath it was a dark green tights going down to her knees. She also put on her black boots that she loved so much and had on a navy blue top sleeveless with her black gloves.
She picked up her copy of the file and sat down and read it.
Mission: Capture of Hachibi
Members: Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hataka
Rank: All AMBU
Assistant help: Rin Haruno
Rank: Guardian Keeper
Leader: Kakashi Hataka
Report: Hachibi was last seen in the village hidden in the clouds. It attacked the good people of this village however luckily no one was badly hurt. Just take note of one thing, the villagers said that a man showed up and he wasn't alone, he had someone with him with a strange gift. The man is known for having this large sword with him so be careful.
"Interesting," Sakura said as she closed the file.
She walked out of her room to meet up with the rest of the team. She sees Rin glaring at Kakashi and Naruto and Sasuke glaring at each other.
"Oh hey Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted.
"Hi," Sakura replied.
"Oh Rin-chan can't you tell us about how you and the pervert met??" Naruto asked.
"Oh still reading those perverted books huh??" Rin asked Kakashi.
"Hey it's not my fault they're so interesting," Kakashi said.
Rin knocked Kakashi on his head and glared.
Naruto burst out laughing and then noticed that Sakura wasn't joining in. She just stood there without a smile; even Sasuke the human ice block had a smirk on his face.
"Hey Sakura-chan laugh or even smile at least," Naruto said.
"What?" Sakura asked.
Rin stopped fighting with Kakashi and smiled softly at Sakura. She walked over to her and touched her shoulders.
"Perhaps we should tell how Kakashi and I met and at the same time, explain a guardian to you," Rin said, "Let's get moving we can talk along the way,"
A body of light surrounded the group and they were gone.
"Welcome the village hidden in the clouds," Rin said as the light cleared up, "Well it's late so we better find a place to stay and talk as well,"
"What about that inn over there," Naruto pointed out.
Everyone looked at the direction that Naruto pointed in and Rin smiled.
"Looks like you're good for something after all dope," Sasuke said.
"Hey I'm always good for something!" Naruto said.
"Like what dope?" Sasuke asked.
"Well I'm smart and good looking__" Naruto said.
"And an idiot," Sasuke added.
"And an idiot," Naruto finished, "Hey!"
"See you are an idiot," Sasuke said.
"Come on you two you are embarrassing me," Kakashi said seeing Rin laughing at the two boys.
"Let's just go and get a room," Sakura said.
"Hai Sakura is right," Rin said, "Let's go,"
The group made their way to the inn and was greeted by the owner.
"Hello travelers," the old woman said, "A room for the night?"
"Hai five people please," Rin said.
"Of cause," the woman replied.
After everyone got their rooms, Sakura with Rin and Kakashi with Sasuke and Naruto, they headed down to get something to eat.
Sakura noticed that many boys were looking at her and Kakashi had walked to her side blocking their view. She had understood the fact that Kakashi was his birth father and he would protect her from anything he saw as a threat to her. But she couldn't understand why, why he did it or even Rin for that matter. To Sakura, they were just the people who brought her into his world and nothing more.
They seated and ate and when Rin placed down her cup, she said.
"Kakashi and I met because of kyuubi," Rin said.
Flashback:
Rin walked over to the group who she was suppose to meet. She should be very happy at the moment however, she is more scared than anything else.
"Ah Rin you have made it," the eldest of the group said.
"Sarutobi-sama," Rin said.
At the time, Rin was only 18 and was going on her first mission as a guardian keeper. Her eyes widen when she saw the guardian of that time, Kushina.
"Hello you must gifted guardian keeper Rin," Kushina said.
"I'm the cursed one, not the gifted," Rin told her, "Kushina-sama,"
"You are gifted and you'll see that during this mission," Kushina said.
"Ah Kakashi, Minato you have made it," Sarutobi said.
"Hn," Kakashi greeted.
"What an ice block," Rin thought.
"Minato, it's wonderful to see you again," Kushina said.
And Minato just smiled.
End Flashback:
"And that's how I met Kakashi," Rin said.
"Like that's the whole story, keep going on," Naruto said, "How did Sakura come around to being born and who's Kushina, I only know about Minato and the old man,"
"Kushina was the guardian at the time," Rin said, "Wouldn't you listening??"
"Yeah but__" Naruto said.
"Fine I'll continue but just one question," Rin said.
"Yeah what?" Naruto asked.
"Have anyone ever told you about your birth parents?" she asked.
"No not yet," Naruto said.
"I see," Rin said.
Flashback:
It was three months since they began their mission on finding kyuubi. Rin and Kakashi spent most of their times arguing while they failed to noticed how close they were.
"It's your fault we haven't found kyuubi yet you know," Rin told Kakashi.
"My fault," Kakashi said, "You must be joking,"
"It is your fault and that stupid eye___" Rin said but she was cut off when Kakashi wrapped his fingers around her throat.
"Bastard, what the hell!" Rin chocked out.
Kakashi came to his senses and let her go, she fell to the ground with a loud noise and she then glared at Kakashi.
"What the hell was that for?!" Rin shouted.
"I'm sorry," Kakashi said.
And it was then, only then Rin saw the hidden pain in Kakashi's eyes.
"What can of past did you live??" Rin asked.
Rin and Kakashi stopping their fighting for a while and got to know each other better. Rin learned about his background that the Sharingan he had was his best friend's own, an Uchiha name Obito.
"So Obito told the elders to give you his eye?" Rin asked.
"Hai, both of us got badly injured on our first big mission and well, it was either that or I'll go blind," Kakashi said.
"Obito he was dying because of that mission right?" Rin asked.
"Hai, he was badly hurt but he didn't think that the two of us should have to suffer," Kakashi said, "So I became the first Sharingan user outside of the Uchiha clan,"
"And the promise you made to Obito," Rin said, "About never giving up and protecting those that are important to you, do you do it?"
"I protect you don't I?" Kakashi said and Rin blushed.
End Flashback:
"And we unfortunately fell in love," Rin said.
"Hn," Kakashi said.
"Same human ice block I see," Rin said.
Flashback continuing:
"What do you mean that you're pregnant??!!!" Rin shouted at Kushina.
"Well I just am," Kushina said.
"How long are you?" Rin asked.
"Five months," Kushina said, "Isn't it wonderful!"
"No this is bad," Rin said, "You can't be a mother as of yet, you're the guardian and the only one who is powerful enough to seal kyuubi,"
It was the truth, only Kushina had the power to deal kyuubi let alone go into battle with it. This was the reason she was chosen to be the guardian on this mission. She who had the most element gates open, water, fire, lightning and earth. All under her command was now going to be a mother before the nine tail was seal.
"A guardian is born to protect and I have to protect my child and my family," Kushina said.
"You have to choose Kushina-sama, the child or millions of lives," Rin said.
"My child," Kushina said.
Four months later, Kushina gave birth to her baby boy and three days after they finally found kyuubi.
"Minato don't," Kushina begged. Her eyes showed the love she had for him begging him to stay with her and not go after kyuubi.
"No, Kakashi and Rin are out there alone and I have to help them," Minato said, "It's my job and also it will be my way of protecting my family as well as the millions of people of this world,"
It was at that moment, Kushina understood what her fate was. The small babe in her hand, she had to protect but also she had to protect the world and she had to do it by sealing kyuubi.
She raced after her lover and found him almost completely lifeless because of his battle with kyuubi. However, kyuubi was very weak and because of Minato's gift, he was able to make the great nine tail fall. Kushina still under the effects of giving birth made a decision.
"Rin," she called.
"Hai," Rin said as she ran over to Kushina, "Take my boy and protect him, the two of you,"
"Hai we will," Rin said.
Kushina stood by her lover's fallen body and said, "Seven elements aligned, released,"
The sudden power release caught kyuubi's attention and he turned to see Kushina.
"To protect those that are import to me," she said, "To protect me people and my child, my baby boy Naruto,"
With that said, she moved and sealed kyuubi. At bright line blinded everyone there and Rin saw Kushina coming with a captured kyuubi.
"You did it!" Rin shouted.
"Bring my child here," Kushina said.
Rin did what she was told and brought the sleeping child it his mother.
"From this day, you Naruto Uzumaki will be a demon keeper, do your job well," Kushina sealed kyuubi inside of her son and fell.
"Remember his name, it's the name of a hero," Kushina said.
A colorful light blinded Rin and when she could see again, Kushina and Minato were gone, their bodies no where to be seen. The baby on the ground was crying and Rin picked him up and said.
"A hero, you Naruto Uzumaki,"
End Flashback:
"A few months later I found out that I was going to be a mother myself," Rin said, "And that child turned out to be a guardian,"
"So my parents died," Naruto asked.
"No and yes," Rin said, "They just when to a world we don't know about yet,"
"So how come you and Kakashi aren't together anymore?" Naruto asked.
"We're just to different and we saw that to late," Rin said, "We are both Sakura's parents and thou we may not love each other as we should, we still both care about Sakura,"
"I still don't see why you can't be together," Sasuke said.
"Eh the teme is talking," Naruto said.
"I think so to," Sakura said, "Being different is what makes us special,"
"Well I suppose we can go back and be friends again," Rin said.
"Hai," Kakashi said.
"And take off that mask, you look stupid," Rin said.
"My mask does not look stupid!" Kakashi said.
Sakura looked at her parents and then broke out laughing.
"Sakura?" both Rin and Kakashi said at the same time.
"You two act like an old married couple," Sakura said.
"It's so rare to see Sakura smile or laugh," Rin thought, "Because of her powers as a guardian."
A guardian is someone who is born to protect however what and who they protect is chosen by them. Sakura has yet to find the person she wants to protect and because of that, her emotions are hardly shown. The only element that is under her feet and completely under her control is the water element, however she will need more than that to seal the eight tail. Sakura needs to find that person she wants to protect and focus her power and will on protecting them like Kushina did.
Rin looked at the three children talking. Naruto trying to make Sakura laugh and Sasuke telling him that he's a loser and other such names but even so….
"Even so…..I see heroes," Rin said.
A/N: This chapter will be very important for later plus it tells us what happened between Kakashi and Rin and how Sakura was born. It also tells us how kyuubi was sealed by Kushina and Naruto finds out that Minato and Kushina is his birth parents, later on we'll have some action in the next chapter. See you later. And review!
