A/N Hello fellow FF Members and Visitors alike this is 9tailsfox2 with Chapter 7 of Escape! This is a fairly large chapter that I decided to do in all in one go seeing as I have nothing going on, but that does not mean its not important, in fact it is probably one of the more important chapters. WARNING! TEAR JERKER CHAPTER! Italics is thoughts and environmental noise. Bold is techniques.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or it's characters, just this specific unique story called Escape, the very story this disclaimer is on.


A loud buzzing noise suddenly sounded and reverberated across the room. Naruto groggily tried to get up in an attempt to shut off his alarm but was surprised that he was holding something and whatever that something was, it was holding him and Naruto had a pretty good idea of what or rather whom that someone is. He looked down to see Hanabi trying to continue sleeping but failing due to that annoying alarm clock. "Ugh Kami! My alarm clock was never this annoying!" Naruto was surprised as Hanabi got up and hit the snooze button and crawled back into bed and held Naruto once again until she noticed something. "Wait a second, this isn't my room this is… Ruto-Kun's room… Ruto-Kun, what was I doing sleeping in your bed?" Naruto, just as confused as Hanabi was, scratched the back of his head. "I don't know Nabi-Chan, one moment we were star gazing and the next, and I find my alarm clock actually working for once!" Hanabi sighed. "Well it doesn't matter as to day is graduation day. Do you feel ready Ruto-Kun?" Naruto took a deep breath and released it in an attempt to calm him self. "Yes I am Nabi-Chan, I just hope that they don't do Bunshin this year." Hanabi smiled for a second and then frowned then suddenly had a panicked face. "Oh Kami! I wasn't at the Hyuuga Compound last night! My father must be so worried!"

"Don't worry about that Hanabi I already talked to your father, he knows that you had an exhausting day and was sleeping over at a friend's house." Hanabi shook her head as Kakashi suddenly appeared in the window. "Wait, so you brought me into Ruto-Kun's room and put me in the same bed as him?" Kakashi shook his head and laughed. "As clung on to him you are in your sleep, I didn't think you would ever let go! Is there something going on that you might want to tell me?" Hanabi got red "What are you talking about?" "Ahem! Nabi-Chan we need to leave now if we want to make the exam on time." Hanabi shook her head, "But what about food?" "Well the only thing fast enough is Instant Ramen." Hanabi agreed and they began quickly to make their breakfast, ate it quickly and then left as they locked the door behind them. Kakashi sighed. Well, she's really good at evading questions she does not want to answer. With that, Kakashi shunshined to the Hokage's Office to wait for his next mission.


Naruto and Hanabi took their seats, which was right next to each other. As it turns out, Naruto's alarm clock was an hour ahead and as a result they were an hour early, luckily they were not the first ones there. To help Naruto with his anxiety Hanabi talked to him casually, which actually worked. It was about forty-five minutes before the brooding rookie of the year, who was none other than Uchiha Saskue himself, walked in. Naruto grumbled, as he did not like Saskue. "Hey dobe." Naruto glared at the Uchiha prodigy. "Teme." Saskue then walked to his window seat. Hanabi sighed. Whenever they locked eyes one of two things will happen, a fight that always resulted in Saskue winning or what just happened now. The reason Saskue always won was so that the council by the villagers themselves could not perceive Naruto as a threat. Any investigation into the beatings were usually stunted by the council themselves for some reason or another and they made it clear that they did not like Naruto would use any excuse to eliminate him, so they decided to keep their training a secret. Hanabi also turned down her results to a minimum as her chakra levels were just as big as Naruto's and hid it from her clan.

All of a sudden there was the screeches of doom. Every single damned day! I'm asking for one just one day they would not screech so loud. It is such a wonder that my hearing is still normal. "Saskue-Kun, I love youuuu!" "No I love you more!" "Shove it Ino-pig!" "Billboard Brow!" Hanabi let gravity and probably even helped it a bit to take her head and slam it on her desk. Naruto sighed, "You know if you two focused more on training and actually improving your ninja skills and not on making yourselves look more beautiful in trying to attract someone who is clearly not attracted to you then maybe you might actually be competent." The entire room was silent and Saskue wasn't even lost in his thought of how he was going to kill his brother and put his pencil down as he was writing his "Ways of how I will torture my brother notebook." His latest entry is called The Dirty Bungee. Lets just say this consisted of an Iron Maiden, A Bungee Tower, a syringe and a solution that, when it enters the blood, causes instant Diarrhea. Ibiki would probably have an orgasm if he got his hands on this notebook. Anyways, back to the current situation.

Sakura and Ino cracked their knuckles. "What did you say dead-last?" Naruto cleared his throat. "Arghuuhhmm. Let me say this one more time as you two are clearly deaf from all the screeching you do all day just from seeing Saskue. The. Two. Of. You. Are. Incompetent. Seriously all you two ever do is proclaim your 'love' for Saskue and frankly it's pissing me off. Why do you love him so much, because he's so 'cool'? How is he 'cool'? So what if he can hit his damned target every time, so what that he beats me. 'Ohhhhh lets pick on the weak one' You know what I'm tired of all this crap if you put even ounce of training you two would actually be good I'll just let you know I can kick your 'Saskue-Kun's' ass anytime I want! Truth is the two of you are utterly worthless. Yes Sakura, you are soooo book smart. But how will that help you in the battlefield where all ninjas go through. As for you Ino, I don't even know what you can do, but if you actually trained yourself you might be competent enough to beat your 'Saskue-Kun' I will say this once as I speak for the entire class. Shut. The. Hell. Up!"

Sakura and Ino went pale as the two of them did not know what to do. Usually when people started talking down about them, they used their fists, but the comments were so harsh they did not know what to do at this point and yet they knew there was a grain of truth in those words, they knew they were probably annoying the entire class, but they did not know how much, and they realized that they had actual little physical skill when it came to battle and the only thing holding them up in classes is their book smart. It was within this silence that Iruka walked into as he observed the room.

Wow what happened here? "Well err… uh… ok." The whole class just stared at him in silence. Something definitely happened and I probably don't want to know. "Well today is the graduation exam, we will start off with the written exam and then we will call your name one by one. Each of you will perform a weapons test a taijutsu test and a ninjutsu test. The weapons test consists of accuracy and throwing distance. The taijutsu test will consist of endurance and strength. The ninjutsu test will consist of chakra control efficiency and technique execution. Getting a 0 in any of the four tests will result in automatic failure of the entire exam, which will also result from having an average score of 70 or less. This year's Ninjutsu is Bunshin No Jutsu." Naruto despaired. Hanabi looked up at Naruto. "It's ok Ruto-Kun, I'm sure you can get at least one point on Ninjutsu." "That's not just it, there's the written test as well. I am pretty sure I will get a low score and I can do pretty well on Taijutsu and Weapons, but will that make up for the low points I will get on the other two?" Hanabi nodded. "I'm sure you will do fine, just believe in yourself." But even she knew that with the potential bad score with the written and the terrible score with the Ninjutsu, Naruto would be hard pressed to make a passing grade. As soon as the tests were passed out, Iruka looked at the entire classroom and raised his hand. "Let the Test begin!" With that there was a scribble of pencils while Naruto looked at his test paper and sighed. He only knew some of the answers and some meaning very little. Naruto sighed as he began his test.


Naruto had his head down. The entire class already did the written test; it was now just a waiting game of being called. Naruto was only listening for two names, Hanabi's and his. "Hyuuga Hanabi!" Hanabi got up and Naruto looked at her. "Good luck Nabi-Chan." Hanabi smiled. "Thank you Ruto-Kun." She then proceeded to the testing room Naruto sighed, as he knew it would be a while before his name was called. The clocked ticked away as Hanabi exited the testing room with a smile on her face and a headband on her forehead as she has passed. "Congratulations Nabi-Chan." Hanabi' smile grew even wider. "Thank you, Ruto-Kun." With that the waiting game continued until… "Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto got up as his name was called. "Good luck Ruto-Kun." Naruto smiled. "Thanks Nabi-Chan."

Naruto was then led to out side where he was provided with Shuriken and Kunai Knives. Naruto hit the center with every weapon from a maximum distance, giving him a perfect score on that test. As for the Taijutsu, Naruto punched through all 10 Boards at once and did all hundred kicks and punches perfectly giving him another hundred. Then came the test Naruto feared the most, the Ninjutsu, as it was the Bunshin that was being tested this year. "Ok Naruto, I want you to make 3 Bunshins." Naruto sighed as he performed the Jutsu. Like always, everything was going fine until the chakra output step, which spiked and waned dramatically, which produced 2 crappy clones.

Iruka nodded. "38 on Jutsu execution, 40 on chakra control. You were doing so fine until the Chakra output." Naruto shook his head. "But there is something that messes with my chakra input, putting my chakra out of my control." Iruka sighed "It doesn't matter, you were unable to produce stable clones that's why you scored 39 on this test." Naruto grumbled. "Well can I have my headband now?" Iruka paled. "Ummm Naruto, you have scored a 40 on your written test. Your total score is 279, which averaged out to 69.75. You did not pass. I'm sorry." Naruto suddenly got depressed until Mizuki spoke up. "Well maybe we can add two points to jutsu execution, bringing his total score 280, making him pass? I mean he did create two clones." Iruka sighed "I'm sorry Mizuki, but we cannot pass him with such poor jutsu skills, he will die out there. Plus all the other students got the required three clones. I'm sorry Naruto but you have failed this year." Naruto looked down in misery as he walked out the room. The two teachers nodded as they followed him out.

Iruka and Mizuki walked out of the room. "Alright, everyone has been tested. Those who have passed we will see you tomorrow, those who have failed we will see you next year and hope you will have better luck next time! This class is now dismissed!" Naruto didn't even look up as he quickly retreated into the schoolyard and sat down on the swing as all the parents of the children who passed congratulated their children while the parents of the children who did not pass comforted their children saying stuff like "It's alright" or "It took me three tries" and other stuff to help them make him feel better. Then he heard two young women talking. "Did you hear? It seems he has failed." "Serves him right, he doesn't deserve to graduate. I'm glad they didn't pass him, as he is the" "Shhh We're not supposed to talk about that."

Naruto ran his hand through his hair. Why? Why are my parents not here? There isn't even anyone who can hold tell me everything is going to be all right. There is no one waiting for me with open arms saying 'Welcome home!' Naruto ran off to the Old Training Field and curled up under the tree. No one is here to comfort me. Naruto suddenly felt small arms wrap around him. Naruto shot is eyes open and saw Hanabi holding him. "You did not pass did you? It's ok, there is always next year." Naruto shook his head, "But I will not be on the same team as you Nabi-Chan, and the year won't be the same without you." Hanabi grabbed Naruto's head and put it between her shoulder and neck and held him. "It's ok Ruto-Kun, you can let it all out." Naruto suddenly released all his stress, frustrations, anxiety and fears all into the tears he was unleashing. "Oh Kami, I don't have a father or a mother and never had one. I want somebody to hold my hand so I don't get lost in the crowd, I want somebody to scold me when I do something wrong, I want somebody to hold me when I'm hurting, I want somebody to kiss my cuts, scrapes, and bruises and say it's all better, I want somebody to tell me 'congratulations' or 'it's alright maybe next year' then take me out to get a popsicle, I want somebody to say 'That will spoil your dinner' I want somebody to say 'Welcome home', I want somebody to say 'eat your vegetables', I want somebody to tuck me in and tell me stories, I want somebody to kiss me on the forehead and say 'goodnight' and most of all I want somebody to say 'I love you'." With each statement Naruto made, he held Hanabi even tighter and Hanabi responded in kind. Oh Kami, is Ruto-Kun really this lonely? Well I knew he was but I did not realize how bad it was. By the end, Naruto was crying harder than he ever has as Hanabi held him tighter than she ever has and they stayed like that for who knows how long.

Naruto eventually stopped crying as he was reduced to sobs. Hanabi pulled away from Naruto and looked him straight into the eyes. "Ruto-Kun, I'm going to buy you a Popsicle right now. If you really are that concerned of not being able to graduate with me then I will turn in my headband and will wait for you tomorrow." Naruto looked at Hanabi, "Nabi-Chan, what will your father say?" Hanabi shook her head. "No buts Ruto-Kun, as for my father, I will deal with him tomorrow." Naruto smiled at Hanabi as they got up. "Thank you, Nabi-Chan." Hanabi smiled back. "No problem, Ruto-Kun." Suddenly Mizuki walked up to them as if out of nowhere. "Maybe you shouldn't be too hasty in that decision." Confused, Hanabi and Naruto looked at each other then back at Mizuki. "What do you mean?" Mizuki smiled. "There is a makeup test that all the students that failed can do, each being assigned a different task. For you Naruto-Kun, I want you take the scroll that the Hokage has hidden in his office and bring it to me. If you do so, I will pass you into Gennin. Do you accept?" Hanabi shook her head but before she can say anything Naruto said, "Hai! I accept!" Mizuki smiled as he gave Naruto a piece of paper. "Great! Meet me over here at 10 pm with the scroll and don't be late!" With that, Mizuki took off.

Hanabi looked at Naruto in disbelief. "Ruto-Kun, you do realize it's probably a trap." Naruto nodded. "Yes it is probably a trap, but if I can learn a technique from that scroll, then that will prove my competence in ninjutsu, which will cause Iruka to change his mind. There is no way I'm letting Mizuki touch the scroll!" Hanabi sighed in exasperation. She knew that once Naruto made a decision, there was no stopping him, so might as well tag along to make sure he does not do anything stupid, and might as well learn a technique or two, might prove helpful in her missions. With that, they took off towards the Hokage Tower.


Hanabi and Naruto reached the spot indicated on the paper, which was a secluded forest area. Naruto grabbed the scroll from his back and opened it. "Ok, let's see the first technique is… Kage Bunshin No Jutsu… Awww come on!" Hanabi shook here head. "No Ruto-Kun, the Kage Bunshin seems perfect for you, with our high chakra reserves we can pull it off like candy! You see this technique creates solid clones and the chakra input is used to create the chakra system for the clones, so that will make it the chakra output, in short, the chakra output equals the chakra input, we just need to practice technique." Naruto smirked. "Hai Hanabi-Chan lets do this! Dattebayo!" Hanabi smiled as they began practicing the technique.

Iruka searched frantically. Where is Naruto? There is no way he is stupid enough to steal the sealing scroll from the Hokage Tower! There is one more place I can check if not I don't know where he can be. Iruka then came upon a clearing and saw Naruto and Hanabi. Wait a second, what's Hanabi doing here!? Iruka decided to make his presence know. "There you are Naruto! I've been looking for you! Naruto why did you take the scroll and why is Hanabi is here?" Naruto smirked. "Mizuki came up to me and told me that he can pass me into gennin if I give him this scroll and told me about this place to meet him." Iruka gasped "Naruto, are you sure it was Mizuki who asked you to steal the scroll?" Naruto nodded in confirmation, "Yup it was him!" Mizuki! What the hell are you planning! Iruka shook his head. "Naruto, give me the scroll!" All of a sudden a bunch of kunai and shuriken came out of nowhere heading towards Naruto. "Ruto-Kun!" "Naruto! Watch out!" Iruka pushed Naruto out of the way and Iruka took the hit for him. "Mizuki!" Mizuki laughed maniacally. "Ha! 'Give me the scroll!' Hahahaha that's a good one! Naruto like we planned I will promote you to Gennin if you give me the scroll!" Iruka scrunched his face up in pain. "Naruto! It's all a trick! Mizuki is trying to use you to get the scroll for him self!" Mizuki laughed even harder at this.

Hanabi sighed and whispered "Ruto-Kun didn't I tell you that this might have been a trap?" Naruto shook his head "I knew it was, lets just ride this out, I want to laugh at his humiliation when we suddenly cut off his ass and serve it on a silver platter." Hanabi smirked at this. "All a trick! Listen to yourself you hypocrite! Naruto, listen up and listen up good, because you were tricked throughout your entire life!" Naruto froze. "Wh-what do you mean?" Hanabi shook her head, she has always wanted to know what was going on around Naruto and now that she is about to find out, she probably doesn't want to know. "Mizuki don't tell him!" Mizuki ignored Iruka. "There is a secret, a law, a law that only you Naruto are not supposed to know!" Iruka seemed to get desperate "Mizuki! It's illegal!" Mizuki smirked "This secret is also the reason Iruka failed you, the reason why he hates you, the reason he does not want you to find out!" Naruto shook his head "Wh-what's this secret?" "Stop it!" Mizuki laughed. "The secret that Iruka does not want you to find out is that the fourth Hokage did not kill the Kyuubi, he sealed it into a newborn child, you! That's right! You are the very same Kyuubi that killed hundreds of innocent people, the very same demon that killed Iruka's parents! That's why everyone including Iruka hates you so much!"

Naruto froze up. "N-no, it can't be possible." Hanabi shook her head in disbelief. Now I know why the entire village hates Ruto-Kun, it's because the demon is sealed inside him, so that must be what's disturbing his chakra control. But isn't he keeping the demon at bay? Keeping it from escaping and completing its job, even if unknowingly? Doesn't that make him a hero then? Naruto shook his head. "Nabi-Chan get away from me, I'm evil, I'm a demon, and I have killed so many innocent people, ruined so many lives." Hanabi could not take it anymore as she hugged Naruto. "Didn't I tell you to never talk like that? You are not a demon; your body holds the demon, keeping it from completing its destruction. That to me makes you a hero. You are you Ruto-Kun, a kind gentle person who would never hurt innocent people." Naruto began tearing up. "Thank you Nabi-Chan." Hanabi smiled. "No problem Ruto-Kun." Mizuki began laughing again. Awwwww! How sweet, it seems there is one person who likes you. Her life must be so miserable to hang out with a demon like you. The both of you should die from your miserable lives and I shall do the honors!"

Mizuki then threw one of his giant Shuriken at Naruto and Hanabi. Naruto and Hanabi closed there eye in anticipation of the attack but it never came as they were pushed down by Iruka with his body covering and protecting theirs as his back was hit with the Shuriken. "Oh! Look at that! Iruka does seem to like you but still the three of you will die and I will have the scroll!" Naruto shook his head in disbelief, "Iruka-Sensei, why would you do something so stupid?" Naruto then felt water dropping on his face and looked up to see Iruka was crying. "Naruto, I'm so sorry for treating you so badly, you see I have had a hard life when my parents died. I always played the fool to get attention, negative attention is better than no attention at all. I blamed you for the death of my parents, I am so sorry. Please, don't let the scroll fall into Mizuki's hands. In the wrong hands, the scroll can be very disastrous." Mizuki laughed at this. "Fall into the wrong hands! It is in the wrong hands! Iruka is lying boy, give me the scroll now!" Naruto shook his head. He had to get away from this so he dashed off into the woods, ripping himself out of Hanabi's arms. "Ruto-Kun" Hanabi dashed after Naruto. "Naruto! Hanabi!"


Naruto kept running for a couple of minutes before stopping in some bushes with Hanabi landing next to him a few seconds after. "Ruto-Kun, are you ok?" Naruto shook his head. "I just found out that I have a demon that is responsible for all the death that ruined everybody's lives 12 years ago is sealed inside of me! Do you think I'm ok!?" Naruto shook his head again. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have lashed out like that." Hanabi hugged Naruto. "It's ok Ruto-Kun. Even if everyone turns their back on you, you still have me." Naruto hugged back.
"Thank you Nabi-Chan." All of a sudden there was a crash in the area right outside the bush the two children were hiding in. Then they heard Mizuki speak "Why are you defending the demon Iruka! He killed your parents. You know what demons do? They betray and kill, they are heartless and worthless." Iruka laughed "You are right Mizuki." Naruto froze up as Hanabi hugged him. "So not even Iruka-Sensei loves me Mizuki-Sensei was right." Then Iruka talked again. "That is what demon is and does, but that's not Naruto. Naruto is a kind and loving person, though pain in the ass he may be sometimes, nonetheless he is Naruto Uzumaki, ninja of Konohagakure. Naruto smiled at that. Hanabi looked at Naruto. "Ruto-Kun, want to serve him a Hanabi and Naruto special?" Naruto then smirked. "Hell yeah!"

Mizuki looked irritated as he took the Giant Shuriken off his back. "Fine I was going to save you for last, but you just seem to want to die. So why don't you just do it!" Mizuki threw the Giant Shuriken he had and just as it was about to hit Iruka Naruto appeared out of nowhere and caught it. "Don't you dare touch my sensei, or I'll kill you!" Mizuki laughed. "Oh look at that! The cute little fox came out to play!" Naruto smirked. "You know Mizuki, you are a waste of meat, why don't you just go die in a hole or something and stop wasting our lives!" "What did you say!?" Naruto laughed. "You heard me. Now go to hell!" Naruto then threw the Shuriken. Mizuki laughed as he dodged it. "What made you think that would have hit me?" Naruto smirked. "Wasn't aiming for you."

All of a sudden, the Giant Shuriken became smoke as it turned into Hanabi, or rather Hanabi changed back to her original form. Mizuki got surprised as Hanabi drew two Kunai and threw them both at Mizuki then made a cross tiger hand seal. "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" Hanabi's clone threw the original body at Mizuki as he prepared a Kunai to counter the two thrown at him, unfortunately one of the two Kunai was actually a Henged Naruto. Naruto grabbed the other Kunai and disarmed Mizuki as he flew above his head and performed the same jutsu Hanabi did. "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" A Naruto clone appeared right behind Mizuki and locked his arms. Mizuki then used his elbows to hit the clone hard enough to dispel it then turned his attention on Hanabi and figured out that he was too late. Hanabi smirked as she prepared her technique. "Eight Trigrams 64 palms! 2 palms! 4 palms! 8 palms! 16 palms! 32 palms! 64 palms!" With the last hit Hanabi slammed Mizuki's chest with a flat hand strike and he flew across the field towards Naruto backwards. Naruto smirked. "Oh its not over yet!" Naruto grabbed the back of Mizuki's head and slammed his face into the ground. "Eat dirt!" That motion plus the momentum from Hanabi's last hit cause Mizuki to spin a turn around and caused him hit a tree violently and knocked him out.

Iruka watched the whole thing in astonishment as he saw two academy students effectively take down a chunnin using only a total of three clones and solid clones no less, two henges and one kawamari. Iruka, needless to say was proud. Naruto and Hanabi did a high five. "You were awesome Nabi-Chan!" Hanabi shook her head. "No Ruto-Kun it was you that made the attack possible." "No, no, you're the one that attacked him I just slammed his face in the ground because I felt left out." "But you're the one that restrained and distracted him long enough for me to actually attack." Iruka interrupted the two. "It was actually the both of you that made the attack work, I am surprised that the two of you were able to make shadow clones, which is a high ranked technique, especially for gennin." Naruto shook his head. "Don't you mean a gennin and an academy student?" Iruka laughed. "Come here and close your eyes Naruto." Naruto did just that. "Now open them."

Naruto did and noticed that Iruka had his headband missing but then felt something on his forehead. "Congratulations Naruto you graduate!" Naruto smiled and hugged Iruka. "Thank you so much Iruka-Sensei! I promise I won't let you down! Hey Nabi-Chan did you hear? I graduated!" Hanabi laughed as Naruto grabbed her and spun her around. "Congratulations Ruto-Kun, you deserved it." Iruka got up. "Now how about I take you all out for Ramen, everything's on me!" Naruto's smile grew even bigger if possible. "All right! Ramen! Let's go!" With that everyone left just as Anbu arrived to see the scroll and Mizuki and a note that explained everything that happened. Kakashi followed the group with the 'first fight' and 'graduation' pictures in the camera to take a few of them eating ramen together.


Everyone had a good time at Ichiraku's, including Kakashi as he decided join in and take a few pictures with them actually knowing for once, with nothing to worry about, but eventually everything always have to end as the four said their good byes and went to their homes. Hanabi for the first time will have to face her father. She was worried because not only did she return home, she was an accomplice to 'the demon boy's thievery of the forbidden sealing scroll. She sighed as she entered the compound. "Father! I'm home!" Hiashi then appeared out nowhere. "I have heard what has happened." Hanabi looked down. "I'm sorry." Hiashi looked pissed, "Damn right you are! Not only did you steal the sacred scroll, you were actually stupid enough to try to hand it over to him. I only find out you have disobeyed my orders by hanging out with that demon boy! Then I find out you actually had the gall to learn techniques other than the basic Academy techniques and the Hyuuga Techniques, you are disgrace to the Hyuuga name!"

Hanabi then had tears fall from her face. "Ruto-Kun is not a demon! I know the truth father! He just has the demon sealed inside of him, trying to keep the demon form destroying everything so he should be treated as a hero, yet he has no parents, few friends and a miserable life! Ruto-Kun is the nicest person I know! He is right, you may love me but you certainly don't show it, you are the worst father. You seriously need to get over Hinata-Chan's, Uncle's, and Mother's deaths. I'm going to bed then I'm going to skip breakfast to avoid you then get on my team. You are on a slippery slope father; I am very close to running away! Good Night!" Hanabi then slammed her door, took her shower, got dressed in her pajamas curled up into her bed and cried herself to sleep as she slipped into happy dreams of Naruto and herself playing in the park, eating ramen, training, and star gazing as a smile graced her face.


A/N Great Chapter if I do say so myself. Do not get used to this constant updating as I will probably have homework up the wazoo (If that's how you spell it lmao) but like I said I will not abandon this. Next chapter will skim through the wave arc and start the Chunnin Exams Arc... I hope as this will be important in character development. I do not like character bashing, its just not my style, but I want Sakura and Ino to be competent and decided to have Naruto tell them off so they can get their asses in gear. Like always R&R and this is 9tailsfox2 signing off!
