Chapter 8

Summary: "What would you name him Hokage-Sama?" Sarutobi looked at the baby that was looking right back at him with his small green eyes; what was unusual though was that the eyes of the child held some knowledge hidden in them. Sarutobi smiled at him, and the baby let out a giggle and pulled his beard, a name appeared in his mind, "I think I'll call him Tetsuo, yes that's perfect…Tetsuo Sarutobi."

The villagers had shown up after Tetsuo had been knocked out. They were ready to attack the bandits but they were slightly outnumbered, so Naruto and Kakashi made some Kage bunshin. Once the bandits saw that the tables had turned the hightailed it out of there never to be seen again. The villagers cheered, glad that the occupation of their land was over, and that they were free once again.

Team seven had buried Zabuza and Haku's bodies next to each other in the forest where they had first met them and placed food as a blessing. Naruto stuck his hand out to grab one of the rice balls, but it was slapped, "What are you doing, that's bad karma!" Sakura shouted at him as he nursed his sore hand.

Kakashi moved the unconscious boy on his back a little so if he awoke he would be comfortable, "Come on we should get going, we have to get Tetsuo home as soon as possible." At the mention of Tetsuo's name two stiffened at the memory of him slaughtering bandits, they had never seen that side of the boy before, it was so…evil.

Sakura clasped her hands near her chest as he legs shook at the memory, "Kakashi-sensei, what was that back on the bridge, Tetsuo was almost demonic, and the way his chakra felt it was…dark." She bit her lip; the chakra was almost like a pressure that had almost suffocated everyone there she truly thought that the power she was near was that of a true demon.

"I can't divulge that information "He said in a serious tone that meant no more questions but his student's didn't seem to comprehend the tone

"But why?" Naruto asked as Sasuke rested his head on his shoulder, he wouldn't say he was afraid of Tetsuo for it would be hypocritical of him to be, but that chakra that pressure was so much greater than his when he was using the Kyuubi's power. He could feel inside of him that even the great and all powerful Kyuubi that was feared by everyone in the leaf village was shuddering at the chakra that was so similar to his own

"It is forbidden to talk about under orders of the Hokage." Kakashi was at least able to say this much, "There are only a couple of people who possibly know the secret."

"What do you mean by possibly?" Sasuke asked from his spot on Naruto's back, he couldn't say he was scared of Tetsuo; they had been through too much throughout their lives for any shred of fear to take place in one of the last Uchiha. He would not judge Tetsuo on anything even if he had a billion dark secrets that he couldn't divulge

"When the third Hokage first adopted Tetsuo, it was never confirmed if his parents were dead or not, we've just assumed they were since we put out a message to the surrounding villages that a baby was found, when no one came forth to claim the baby, the third officially adopted Tetsuo as his son." Sasuke and Naruto hadn't known this, Tetsuo knew he was adopted but never talked about his curiosity as to where he actually came from. When asked why, the only thing he said was that he was happy that his parents had given him up, if they didn't then they he never would've have gotten the family and friends he had now, and that he was content with the way things were

But then again what adopted child didn't at least have a curiosity to as where they came from

"I highly doubt the Hokage will keep you in the dark about what you just saw, and if he does I'm sure Tetsuo will tell you probably thinking that you deserve to know." Kakashi pointed out, "If I recall, Naruto also exuded a considerable amount of demonic chakra." He then turned ahead, "We're going to have to go faster, I think Tetsuo need's to see a medic." He jumped on the nearest tree branch and sped up jumping from tree to tree in the-Luckily-dense forest.


"Tetsuo-kun…"

No response

"Tetsuo-kun…"

Silence

"Tetsuo, please get out of my old cage?"

A few sniffles

Yin sighed and took look at the new version of Tetsuo's mindscape, what was once a beautiful field of pampas grass with a glorious blue sky was now a dark and dreary forest. The black trees had no leaves and were gnarled on every branch, there was a heavy mist around the area, and when one looked at the sky they saw storm clouds and thunder but no rain or lightning.

Yin felt wetness on his nose

"Don't cry Tetsuo," Yin pawed at his old that he could not enter since Tetsuo had locked himself inside; he had always hated it when Tetsuo cried. It would rain for days and everything would become flooded, he always hated the rain because it also showed that he couldn't stop the boy's sadness.

"I killed them," He sobbed, he might not have been conscious while it was happening but he was aware that it did. He had killed for the first time and now he was feeling horrible for it, the Kumo Nin was something different, Tetsuo had to protect himself and the guy was too strong to leave alive, but the bandits…he had just killed them just because he wanted to.

"No, you didn't. When I saw that you were on the verge of death I took over your body and protected you by taking care of the man, the bandits were a threat to you're and your team's safety, I took matters into my own hands." Yin explained

"But why Yin, why did you kill them. You could've easily incapacitated them but no you just wanted to kill them and you did it in my body which makes it even worse!" Tetsuo shouted from behind the bars at the taken aback Demon

"Are you saying that I should've just let those people kill you guys, because I easily could've just sat here and protected you but I protected your friends as well. I would rather the enemy dead than you!" Yin shouted offended, he didn't know what he did wrong; he had just protected Tetsuo's friends. He didn't have to he could've have just helped Tetsuo and no one else, just because he was good doesn't mean he was a giver

Tetsuo grabbed the bars and glared at his demon, "Taking someone's life is never right, there is always another way!"

"As long as you are a ninja you will always be expected to take someone's life, this is the way of shinobi." Yin said in a cold tone, "There is not always another way or a tricky solution sometimes you just have to face a problem the head on. If you cannot accept that then I suggest that you resign from the shinobi ranks and become a civilian."

The giant cage disappeared as Tetsuo teleported it to another part of his mindscape, Yin decided to leave Tetsuo to stew in his thought for a while, before trying to get him to come out.


Kakashi picked up the pace when he saw the village gate draw closer and closer. He only stopped to greet Izumo and Kotetsu since it was required, he then jumped over the rooftops to the hospital. "I need medic I have an injured student here." He told the desk clerk who directed him to nearest room. "Sakura alert the Hokage that we're here," He ordered and Sakura nodded running back out of the front door. Sasuke and Naruto went to fetch Kiba knowing that the Inuzuka would want to be notified right away if his friend was in the hospital

Kakashi placed Tetsuo gently on the bed and looked him over finding no outside wounds, he could tell though that some of Tetsuo's ribs were broken judging by the heavy bruises. He was perplexed since Tetsuo never got bruises since Yin always healed him.

He sighed seeing that the boy still had not awoken and decided to take a breather himself, he took out his orange book, grabbed the nearest chair to sit down and read as he waited for everyone to return.

The door slammed open and Kakashi was none surprised to see a sad although angry looking Hokage enter the room with Sakura walking behind him. He went over to his son's bed and inspected his body seeing the bruises and only feeling horrible for letting him go on the mission in the first place. "Brief me on the mission Kakashi," He said as he stood by his son's bed, smoothing a hair over his head.

Kakashi turned back to his book pretending to read, but actually gathering his thoughts, he was none too pleased to be explaining to the leader of their village why his son was in the hospital, "Our client lied about the specifics of the mission so he wouldn't be charged as much, what was actually a C-rank should have been a B or A-rank mission. Tetsuo took on a missing Ninja from Kumogakure by himself, though he was able to defeat him it was through…demonic…means."

Hiruzen's eyes widened at the word demonic, Kakashi must have been talking about the demon that was currently housed within his son. This was the first incident of it ever showing itself since five years ago.

"Kyuubi as well, they appeared at the same time. My guess is Tetsuo's activated Naruto's, but no worries I was able to stop Naruto before things got to out of hand."

"What about Tetsuo?"

"I wasn't able to suppress his chakra since it was too powerful, I'm afraid Tetsuo has experienced his first kill." Sarutobi sighed knowing that it would've happened sooner or later, "I was able to knock him out though before things got to out of hand."

"Is that why he's like this now?"

"No, the way I knocked him out, it would've only kept him under for only a couple of hours." Kakashi shook his head, "For some reason his wounds won't heal, I can tell that he at least has four broken ribs."

"Tetsu-chan!" Shouted Kiba as he came into the room and immeadiatly headed for Tetsuo's bed and placed Akamaru on the bed sheets, as he held on to the rail.

"Sorry we took so long, the receptionist wouldn't let me through," Apologized Naruto

"I going to need everyone but the Hokage to leave the room while we check up on Sarutobi-san," The medic said, leaving the door open so the reluctant team can go through as they waited for their friends results

-10 minutes later-

Kiba paced the floor outside Tetsuo's room as he waited for the doctor to return, he was beside himself with worry, Naruto had come to him in the middle of practice with Kurenai-sensei and told him that his best friend, his Tetsu-chan, was in the hospital and wouldn't wake up, needless to say he didn't wait for Kurenai's approval or even for Naruto to catch up as he picked up an equally worried Akamaru and ran to the hospital.

Kiba didn't know what he would do if Tetsuo never woke. This was his first friend, Kiba would never forget the day he saved Tetsuo from those bullies he didn't know what made him do it he just felt the sudden need to protect the defiant boy from those that would harm. Hell, Kiba felt way more comfortable when Tetsuo was in his arms than in his own bed at home!

Lately things had started changing he started to find the little things Tetsuo did cute, and the boy himself cute. Who could blame him, what with his long black hair, and slightly tanned skin, with a cute pout he showed when he was annoyed, mad, or Just in a playful mode.

But back to the crisis that was currently taking place

The medic came out of the room and she had a happy look on her face, reassuring everyone that Tetsuo was going to do just fine, "Everything's fine, he just had a few broken ribs, a broken arm, and a sprained ankle. He should be fine within a few months," She allowed them to go inside the room and they saw Tetsuo's arm wrapped, his leg in a sling and his torso in bandages.

Hiruzen had taken off his hat and sat in the chair Kakashi had previously occupied, he was smoking on his pipe as he waited for Tetsuo to wake up. He was thinking of moments when Tetsuo was still a child and his innocence in place. He looked up as he heard others entering the room, "I guess you want to know about what you saw in the land of waves?" He continued on without their curiosity, "My son and Naruto are Jinchuriki's." He revealed but known of the children knew what a Jinchuriki was except for Naruto obviously, "A Jinchuriki is a person who houses a Bijuu, there are nine currently known Jinchuriki and those nine hold the tailed demons."

"Naruto holds the ninth demon, Kyuubi. Tetsuo though has somehow acquired the tenth unknown demon the Juubi. Kyuubi was sealed within Naruto when he was just a child eleven years ago when the village was attacked by the great beast. A year later an ANBU found Tetsuo and brought him to me and I found a seal on his stomach showing that he was also a Jinchuriki. A couple of years later it was known by myself in Kakashi that someone had sealed the Juubi into Tetsuo's body as a child, it hasn't shown itself since then."

"So you guys don't know how the demon was sealed in Tetsuo's body?" Sakura asked

"It was sealed by someone very powerful, they had to be to summon and seal the Juubi inside of him." Kakashi assessed from behind his book, "It was the fourth Hokage who sealed the Kyuubi inside Naruto, but he died shortly after the sealing."

"I could give a rat's ass if Tetsu-chan or Naruto had a demon inside of them; they're still my friends no matter what." Kiba assured his fierce glare set place at anyone who would dare doubt his friendship to both boys.

"I second what Kiba said," Sasuke latched

"Third," Sakura said cheerily

"Thank you, thank you all." Hiruzen smiled at them, he was so happy that his son had made such trustworthy and loyal friends

"Thanks guys," Naruto rubbed his eyes since they were starting to get a little wet; he wasn't crying he just had some dirt in his eyes

"Aww is the dobe crying?" Sasuke teased

"Sh-shut up Teme!" Naruto cried rubbing the tears from his eyes


Yin brought his head up when the cage reappeared in front of him, "You're right," He heard the boy say

"About…"

"As a shinobi I will be asked to take someone else's life, as an ANBU I will required to end the life of another."

"And you came up with?"

"I've dropped that dream," Yin was surprised at Tetsuo's glare

"And you're new dream has become?" Yin asked curiously

"Don't know, Naruto's going to become Hokage of Konoha…maybe I'll start my own village." Tetsuo wondered

"It's going to be hard to start a village, but if anyone can do it maybe…" Yin trailed off thinking of the chances Tetsuo had to actually pull of creating his own village

"I'm leaving, see ya," Tetsuo stood up and disappeared

Yin smirked, "See ya,"


All eyes turned to the bed when they heard a groan, "That was a pretty good nap," He saw that everyone was staring at him, "What?" He could see that Kiba was shaking

"I can't believe you had us all worried and you were just sleeping!" Sakura shouted at the surprised boy

"It was a good nap…" Tetsuo defended getting scared when all of them started to slowly walk towards him, he put his arms out in a placating manner, "Hold on guys," They cracked their knuckles, "I'm sorry," He held his head in his hands thinking he was about to get a hit from Sakura's monster strength but was painfully surprised when everyone hugged him at the same time.

"Baka!"

"We were worried sick that you wouldn't wake up!"

"Next time you decide to take a nap at least snore so we know what's going on!"

"Aww you guys that, hurts so bad!" They back away from his as he clutched his side in pain, "Thank you guys so much, but if you don't mind I have to lay here in pain for a while."

At that moment the medic came back in to give Tetsuo his painkillers, when everyone was gone and the medic had her back turned Kiba, who had stayed in the room a second longer, quickly gave Tetsuo their regular kiss, "Glad you're okay, Tetsu-chan." He gave the boy one last kiss just because he felt like it before leaving the room.

Tetsuo touched a hand to his lips as the medic gave him his medicine that was making him drowsy, 'Kiba's kisses…they've changed…somehow.' He thought before

"It's because you two have grown older,"

'And that means?'

"Someone really needs to explain puberty to you." He could feel Yin shaking his head.


Tetsuo sat on a window sill in his Ji-chan's office watching the man do paper work. It had been a couple of days since he was able to leave the hospital, he still had his arm cast but Yin was able to heal everything else so that it never hurt.

Hiruzen picked up a letter that had ended up in their mail; it was addressed to someone named Hari Potter. Hiruzen looked at the letter strangely because the rest of it was in strange writing that he had never seen before, "Tetsuo come have a look at this," He squinted his eyes just in case his eye sight was causing the problem

"What is it?" Tetsuo jumped off the window sill and stood next to his Ji-chan to check out the letter, "What kind of writing is this?" He asked as he tilted his head and tried to read the paper

"I don't know, I've never seen anything like it," He handed the letter over to his son who said he would try the Library to see if he could decipher the letter.

What he didn't expect was for Tetsuo to disappear
