Chapter 7
The prophecy
Notice- I will own Naruto when I walk out of the local Tea Shop, run into Masashi Kishimoto and buy him icecream. When this happens, i'll be sure to let you know. (:
Alaina- Hello! I'm SO sorry about the lateness of this chapter!
Neji- Well that what happens when you go on an unexpected vacations...sheesh.
Alaina- Heh. That was awesome. I was in the Mountain Country (aka the Land of the Wild Newfs, aka Newfoundland) for THREE weeks without warning until the night before! YES, THREE weeks without a computer! At least I wrote this chapter on the 16-thousand hour flight! So here it is. Enjoy!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neji awoke to a familiar, soft green chakra flowing over his stiff body. Yet he could not tell who's chakra it was.
"Neji...?" A woman spoke to him. Her voice was clam and sounded concerned about him, making Neji feel needed. "Neji?" He wanted to answer her. But he couldn't.
"Neji...?" She questioned again. "Neji, it's Sakura..."
Nothing.
He couldn't move his body. The only thing he was capable of was screaming to her, in his head.
"Neji...please, it's Sakura. I'm holding your hand right now...please...if you can register who I am, please squeeze my hand."
No squeeze.
"Neji...it's Sakura, I have short pink hair. Um...green eyes and..." How else could she describe herself?
Ino came up behind Sakura from across the cell the eleven ninjas were trapped in. "Sakura is your roommate!"
Still, nothing.
"I have an idea," Kiba slid over to the two girls, Hinata gliding along by the hand. Bending down to Neji's pale ear, he gently whispered softly so only he, Neji and Hinata could here, "Sakura is the girl that Hinata and I have decided your violently falling for..."
A light squeeze.
"Neji?!" Another light squeeze, shortly followed by a slightly tighter one. "Oh thank Kami-sama!"
A small smile formed on Sakura's lips as Neji slowly came back to their world the way that both her and Shikamaru did.

"Itachi-dono?" A frail female voice questioned. He looked up, his eyes daring her to speak to him again.
"I'm so sorry to disturb you master, but phase one is complete, the Konoha ninjas are locked in the largest cell in sector 4. The two we um...'borrowed' are trapped there as well. Everything is running smoothly!"
"Hn..." The eldest Uchiha stated.
"One more thing, Uchiha-sama, we have brought in the other hostage as you requested. Torao is placing her in sector 1, along with the mud..."
"Good. Anything else?"
"N-n-no..." Naoko stuttered while praying for her life.
"Then go to Torao, tell him I wish to share a word with him. Stay with the Konoha hostage. Now!"
"H-hai!"
Moments later Itachi's requested visitor had arrived, his blue eye shinning with great fear.
"Execution order 82... for both women."
Blue eyes became an unimaginative size. "The hostage...and...Naoko...no"
"Yes." Itachi said coolly, reading Torao's thought's. "..Now go!"
"Yes...master..."
"Oh, and Torao? Our guests are weak. They will be no fun to play with unless they are as strong as they can possible be. Send them back for now. And leave them the note...if only fair if they know they can not escape their fates.."
"The note...The Prophecy?!"
"The Prophecy."

Shizune looked up at the black horizon of a starless night. Where am I?
Shizune hugged herself in an attempt to stay warm, the bitter cold penetrated to her weak bones. The mud around her clung to her black boots begging for entrance to freeze her feet. Gen-jutsu?
She struggled to keep her hold on the wooden plank she had been tossed upon.
Shizune wiped her dirty bangs from her face, she looked up, hearing the soft trotting of feet. Her heart beat quickened in hope.
"Hello...? Help! Please!"
The sound stopped, Shizune's chest tightened in fear. Had She imagined it all?
"Shizune-san?"
"Who are you?! How do you know my name?!"
A small laugh emitted from above, echoing across the dead swamp,
"Help me!"
"Now Shizune-san, the dead don't make request,"
'"I'm not dead!," Shizune stated. Right? Right! She was in pain. The dead can not feel!
"No, but it can easily be made,"
Silence. She waited for an answer. Or...what she thought would be one.
Nothing.
She heard rhythmic chirping of crickets swallowed the still air, it got louder and louder until Shizune was sure she had gone crazy. . Her breathing quickened and her vision blurred. She was losing her grip on the sinking plank and her head and heart felt heavy, the mud enveloped her up to her neck as the plank continued to sink...
Mud made thick by blood.
Her body became light and she no longer felt pain. She tried to say something, but Shizune knew there would be no one worth her efforts... A girl with wild and curly teal hair laughed lightly, her golden eyes sparkling with fear, excitement and grief. She smiled her last smile, for she too would soon face the same fate.
Fate was not a kind thing.
All things considered,
The dead don't make request.

Naruto's ocean blue eyes flutter open and closed several times before he register where he was, The 'safe' house?! How the hell did we arrive here? When?!
Onyx eyes slowly start to open and revealed the world and re-entrance to the safe to Sasuke Uchiha.
"Teme!" Naruto cheered and hugged the dazed, half asleep man beside him. Sasuke simply breathed into Naruto orange and black clad chest and wrapped his arms around waist.
Sasuke sighed again closed his charcoal eyes and lifted his head onto Naruto shoulder and kissed his neck gently.
Naruto smiled and noticed Neji, Lee and Kiba starting to stir, all facing the same way as him. Back to the door. Once fully awake, Lee lifted his head and noticed everyone in the room had been placed at face a small wall and window. Neji caught sight of this and slowly turned his head, the other men following his lead and Sasuke opening his eyes, wildly.
"What the...?" Naruto questioned.
"Wake everyone else up now!" Sasuke hollered.
The men nodded in agreement, rolling over to the other and shaking them violently and hushing once they awoke.
Many long and slightly confusing moments past as Sakura, Neji, Tenten, Lee, Garra, Naruto, Hinata, Kiba and Sasuke all peered at the messily, bloody written message that was slowly starting to drip down the white painted walls in the room Naruto and Sasuke were suppose to be sharing.
"Oh Kami-sama..." Sakura stated, in too much shock to continue her thought. Neji noted her discomfort as Ino nodded towards him encouragingly. Taking in a breath he placed his hand on her shoulder. Why does this feel so right?
"What does it mean?" Hinata questioned glancing at the dripping message once again.
Simultaneously, Tsunade's elite ninjas' and Garra reread the message in their heads.
Sixteen years after his imprisonment, HE will raise again.
The Leafs yellow flash's prisoner.
Crimson will mix with crimson.
The blood will be repaid.
HIS holder will suffer the fate he was given.
A father's mistake.
A father's child.
" 'The Leaf's yellow flash?' " Garra questioned peering down in thought.
"..."
Green eyes widen. And a female body jolted up remembering her mentor's words.
"Sakura?" Naruto, Sasuke and Neji looked concerned as Garra spoke.
"The Leaf's yellow flash...was the forth Hokage!"
All eyes were on the pink haired medic-nin.
"And his son?" Ino inquired.
"...I don't know" Sakura admitted.
"Hey...?" Kiba moved from his position on the floor, holding Hinata to the message painted on the wall. "What's this?"
Kiba raised his hand, cut from his earlier fight, to the wall and brushed a large smudge of mud from underneath the last word, as if covering something.
Clearing off the dirt carefully with help from Sasuke and Hinata one word became unhidden.
One word.
One name.
Carefully written in black ink...
Naruto.
TBC.
