Chapter 5: Welcome to the Kurosaki family.

"My head hurts, where am I?" thought Naruto as he woke up, slowly he could feel something comfortable underneath him. It was so soft and warm, unlike the hard, cold floor that he used to sleep in.

Naruto looked around his surrounding and saw that he was in some kind of room, it has a closet, a window, and a single bed. He saw a person sleeping right underneath the bed. Naruto then remembered, he remembered trying to escape with Akkane then, everything else was blank from then on. It was fuzzy but when he thought about it he felt sad, his heart ache.

Naruto tried to get out of the bed he was in but found his body refusing to do so. His body was bandaged and he only had his pants on. He felt as if he was ran over by the large snake that he saw, in the lair. He only saw the snake once but he could easily tell that it was nearly a hundred times bigger than he is. Then Naruto heard someone, talking.

"It was strange wasn't it?" asked the person. He paused for a while before talking again.

"Yeah, but I don't think he will be waking up for the next few days, anyways I really got to go, call you later." Said the voice.

Naruto once again tried to get off of the bed but this time he succeeded, he slowly lay his left foot on the floor follow by his right foot, he tried to stand up but found that his legs were shaking. Not giving in to the feeling Naruto quietly went past the person who was sleeping and went to the door, until he was stopped by a voice that said "Where are you going?"

The voice belonged to the boy that was sleeping on the floor. He now looked wide awake. Naruto didn't respond and just glare at the boy.

"Look kid, you are not well enough to go around yet, so why don't you just lay back down?" asked the orange haired boy nicely. "Where am I?" Naruto asked slowly. "You mean you don't remember?" asked Ichigo.

"No, I remember escaping from that fucking snake but I just don't remember anything else." Said Naruto spitting out the word "snake" like it was poisonous. While Ichigo just wince at the boy's choice of words. And Ichigo wasn't the one to let this slide. He didn't like to hear someone swear especially a kid swearing.

"Hey you can't swear like that you know." Said Ichigo but the boy didn't even answer.

"What is your name?" asked Ichigo trying to change the subject as quickly as it came.

"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." Replied Naruto.

"Ok, so where do you live? Do we have to call your parents?" Ichigo asked, but he got an answer he wasn't expecting.

"What is that?" asked Naruto dead serious. "What?" Shocked Ichigo. "Your parents, you know like your father and mother." "What are those?" asked Naruto, it is true Naruto had never heard the word parents before, since he was old enough to know thing, he only knew that he was with Orochimaru.

"You know someone who give birth to you." Said Ichigo while thinking "did he hit his head or something."

Naruto just gave Ichigo a confused look. "This kid seriously don't know what parents are." Thought Ichigo.

"How about your home?" asked Ichigo.

"If you mean my cell, then I escaped from there." Said Naruto, who was thinking "Where are my stuffs? And where is Akkane."

"Cell?" Ichigo repeated the word and was thinking what a weird day. I must be dreaming.

"Have you seen a Red Haired girl? Her name is Akkane." Asked Naruto.

"Akkane? That is the name he has been repeating over and over again. What should I do? I can't tell him that she died, he doesn't seem to remember anything." Ichigo thought.

Then Naruto had memories flashing back, it was as if someone destroyed a dam of memories. He hold his head at the memories that was coming back. It was terrifying, he saw himself talking with Akkane until. "OROCHIMARU! YOU DAMN SNAKE!" Naruto shouted in range as he prepared to jump out of the window to find Orochimaru but his body didn't respond, instead he fall over.

"Hey!" Ichigo shouted and tried to help Naruto up but Naruto didn't accept it, he kept struggling with all his strength which was impressive for an injured kid.

Isshin hearing Naruto's shouts, quickly ran in to see that Naruto is now struggling against Ichigo's grip.

"Hey, kid you are in no condition to move around." Shouted Isshin, Naruto saw realized this man. "WHERE IS AKKANE! TAKE ME TO HER NOW!" shouted Naruto he unconsciously released a lot of his spiritual pressure that it almost sofficate every people in the house.

"What… is this?" shocked Karin as she was down trying to catch a breath in front of the kitchen.

"Can't… breath." Mumbled Yuzu as she was catching some breath.

Ichigo immediately let go of Naruto and was the one most affected by it. He was lying flat on the ground. And couldn't even speak. Isshin was wincing but that was it.

"Calm down, I will take you to her." Said Isshin trying to calm the raged kid.

This make Naruto calm down just enough for the people to breath.

"Come with me, Ichigo you too." Said Isshin as he led Naruto to the van. Ichigo just followed along not even daring to say a word. Ichigo really wanted to ask why but he couldn't bring himself to. Karin and Yuzu were utterly stunned.

Naruto was suspicious but followed along anyways.

(After an hour of driving)

"We are here, and kid, you won't like what you see." Said Isshin as he stepped out of the van.

Naruto quietly followed behind, and what Naruto saw would hunt him for the rest of his life. "Akkane." Naruto said quietly as he approached the corpse of his only friend. Surprisingly the body was totally fine, other than a hole that want through her stomach. There was no smell, or any sign of the body been dead, in fact she looked like she was sleeping. "I am sorry, I couldn't protect you." Said Naruto as he fell on his knees in front of Akkane. "I am sorry, if I hadn't been stayed back, if I hadn't tell you it was OK to stay with me, this wouldn't have happened." Naruto took a closer look, at his dead friend, remembering what she said to him in the last those words, those three words "I love you." Naruto repeated those short but the most meaningful phrase to her, as he sobbed beside her quietly. Akkane was like an older sister to him. She was 3 years older than Naruto and not to mention they were both Uzumakis.

"I am sorry, and I promise you I will kill Orochimaru, if that is the last thing I do." Naruto hissed.

Ichigo was confused, more than confused but he was also sad, this reminded him of him and his mother when she died, Ichigo sobbed like that beside his mother for hours. "I can't imagine how said he is feeling right now. As far as I know he doesn't even have any family, she is probably the only one he had." Thought Ichigo as he watched from a far. Meanwhile Isshin was in the van was fuming. "I promise you Orochimaru, the next time I see you I will rip your skin off."

Naruto stayed there for a long time, minutes turned in to hours, at this point and both Ichigo and Ishin were in the van, waiting in silence. "Hey dad, I have something to say to you." Isshin now had his full attention to Ichigo. Ichigo never calls him Dad and if he does, he is either sad or the situation is really serious. "What is it, son?" "Why did you told me to follow me here?" Ichigo asked his father out of curiosity. "To show you how life is. I wanted to show you that there are people who are suffering just as much or even more than you." Said Isshin bluntly. "What does that mean?" "You still haven't gotten over your mother's death have you?" asked Isshin, while Ichigo just looked surprised. But nodded eventually.

"I just wanted to tell you to get over it. Look at this." Said Isshin as he gave Ichigo a paper from, what looked like a brown bag. Ichigo started reading it out loud.

"Test subject number 348

Objective: Conduct experiments, for advanced warriors, mutation and cell implementation.

Period: From the day test subject 348 was born to the day he dies.

Tests: Success

Known family: Uzumaki Akkane.

Current Age: 10

Cell: 4B 153

Blood Type: O

Name: Uzumaki Naruto….." The rest of the paper was tore off.

"That means.." Ichigo said with a shocked expression.

"Probably some scientist trying to conduct some crazy experiments on infants. Naruto was one of them." Said Isshin, while Ichigo was getting really angry. "THAT IS DISGUSTING!" Ichigo literally shouted.

"Ichigo, I want to adopt him." Isshin said, this surprised Ichigo completely. "You want to adopt him?" Ichigo asked he didn't have anything against the idea but it just sounded weird. "I guess we could, I mean he has nowhere to go, but do you think he will agree?" "I don't know, but Ichigo I want you to promise me not to tell Karin and Yuzu about Naruto's past." Said Isshin. Ichigo wanted to ask a question but decided against it. He has a strange feeling that things are about to get weird now.

After everything was over Isshin went over to Naruto to have a private talk with him.

(1 year later, many things had happened in Naruto's life)

"Naruto, Ichigo, brakefast is ready!" shouted a voice from the kitchen.

"Hey Yuzu thanks for the food." Said Ichigo as he sat down, after that a boy who looked like he was about Ichigo's age came out. He had long Sunkist hair that he kept in a ponytail. The boy wore an orange jumpsuit that had black stripe in the sides that goes all the way down to his legs. Naruto now stand a whopping 5-11 "Geez Naruto, I can't belive how much biggrt you got." Said Isshin as he got out of his room. Naruto just gave Isshin a "you know why" look.

Naruto what Ishinn said to him all those years ago. (Start of Small tiny winy flashback) "Now I am going to teach you about your kind, the Quincy Uzumaki. ….. once a boy Uzumaki reach the age of 10 their body are going to start developing at an alarming rate. And you growth would slow down after a year or so. And Once a female Uzumaki reach the age of 14 she will also start growing but not as fast as the boys. She will grow in the rate until she reached 16….." (End of small tiny winy flashback)

"Yeah, man you are growing a lot." Said Ichigo but Naruto just ignored him, just like usual. Thn Isshin Kurasaki said something no one expected "Naruto Korusaki, I have enroll you into a high school."
Naruto almost choke on the food he was eating, everyone else shared Naruto's espression. They were all surprised. Naruto gave Isshin a "What is the meaning of this look." Yeah, over the year Naruto had learned how to communicate with Isshin just by looking at him.
