Hey!!! How's it going? What's up? How are you? Okay okay! Ya'll must be pissed off at me , taking so long to update , but as is life , can't control what happens can you? Hee Hee~!
Tsunande paced the room in pure worry, agitation, anger and a whole other lot of emotions that she didn't even want to go into. First there was the whole issue of the scroll, Naruto's parents , Sasuke and now they say that Naruto has been abducted by some strange ninja.
"Inuzuka, Aburame , tell me; what did these people say the wanted and what did they-" Tsunande paused as a thought suddenly occurred to her. She remembered something. The Uzumaki clan was tricky indeed. "Inuzuka, Aburame, their hair, what color was their hair?" Kiba, hearing the urgency in her voice, replied immediately , since Shino seemed not to feel like talking seeing as he had let Kiba detail most of the report. Tsunande did still ask him , because he was a witness. She ignored Hinata and Kurenai completely though because in this situation they were not needed. "T-their hair was red, Hokage-sama, though what that has to do with anything is-" Tsunande held up her hand. "T-that's all I need to know, for now, Inuzuka." Tsunande has her face a deep contemplation. Thinking hard, she finally realized the error of her ways. The memory suddenly came back , almost making her want to punch herself in the gut for not remembering sooner , and blindly sending Naruto on a mission because she wanted him to feel better sooner.
Her actions probably did the exact opposite and caused Naruto deep emotional, mental and maybe knowing the Uzumakis, physical pain. She walked briskly to her contact file drawer and scanned the bottom names beginning with 'U'. 'Urahara. Uwari. Uzizaki. Uzumaki' 'Yes! Found it!' Tsunande pulled out the folder and quickly scanned through it. The other people in the room were obviously confused as to what she was doing, not knowing that Naruto would have asked her to do the same and few days ago. Looking at her Hokage , Kurenai could see the frantic , worried expression on her face, and that made her even the slightest bit guilty because even though it was not entirely her fault, a good sensei must always take responsibility for her student's actions, as such it now was entirely her fault and she would face the guilt and/or punishment that was to be received.

Tsunande closed the file, not wanting to read any more. The first few lines were all she needed to know. She should have looked it up , before sending Naruto anywhere. She was a fool, and she would admit it, herself. All this time she was calling herself Hokage and she couldn't protect one boy with a horrible fate.
Turning to Team eight, she collected herself and spoke , "Don't worry, you won't be blamed for this, it was my own foolishness that caused this to happen. If it wasn't for me , Naruto would probably be here right now."
"But what will happen to the boy?!" Kurenai demanded.
"Nothing, I know who has him and I can assure you that they won't kill him , or question him about Konoha." 'But I can't be sure that he will be the same when we get him back , If they choose to give him back to us.....' , This last part was added silently to herself , not wanting to instigate panic and guilt.
"That will be all."
And Team eight exited, Hinata looking back , worried and wondering what was to become of her secret love.
Naruto was in complete awe, his emotions coming in such a rush he couldn't even sort out what he was feeling. Suprise, of course. Some confusion, some joy , some pride , some anger, though he was not quite sure where that came from and some sadness. He was surprised because in such a dark and mysterious place is not where you would look to find a 'Mistress' as they called her. He was confused also because of this. He was feeling undeniable joy and happiness because he had after his whole past and all the pain he went through, he has finally seen his own mother. He felt pride because of this. He was not sure why he was angry. Maybe it was the fact that, nobody had been kind enough to tell him that his mother was this close to him all along. I mean, this was his mother , for crying out loud! Finally, he was sad because he knew that even if he found her, nothing would come of it, because she probably doesn't even know who he is.
Kushina stared up at Naruto from her current position on the ground.
"Ah.......who might you be? Did you need anything from here? Sorry if I took a long time here, I was...."
She was mumbling , and stuttering, but it was drowned out. Naruto found that he couldn't hear what she was saying yet, he was hanging on her every word.
He blinked at her after staring for a while.
"A-ah, no, no...there...there's nothing that I....need..." He mumbled the last part , as he needed a lot from the woman stooping in front of him.
She blinked and stood up , taller than Naruto by about three inches. She then said, "Well , I better get going! My darling Naruko is waiting for me! See ya later, kiddo!" She walked past him and tussled his hair.
Naruto wanted to turn around and shout at her to stay. He wanted to tell her to wait and come back and to talk to him some more , but he – deep down - knew that he shouldn't. And he couldn't anyway. What would he say to her? What could he say to her? He watched as she walked to the window her first came in , but as he looked again he noticed a sort of make-shift door. It wasn't really a door , per se , more like an archway. He didn't know what it lead to , but he intended to find out.
Kushina waved a last time before finally walking through. He weakly waved back , prepared to dash through after her once he was sure she couldn't hear him.
He saw her bright red hair slowly dissapear through the dim archway , listening to her footsteps after that. He was getting ready to go after her quietly when her footsteps got softer and softer.
Ready to follow he walked up slowly to the archway. The archway was placed in a difficult place. The window was in a hallway . Making it seem as a room was behind it , but strangely. In a way you would think , 'A window? Who would want to look into a hallway?' That's when Naruto realized that he was partially fooled. The place and arrangements of the windows and doors were put to confuse people, like , intruders or spies as the clan will know how their main house is like.
The door on the other side of the room was another plan to trick him probably. Most likely, it didn't even open. Or if it did open it was some sort of trap.
Clever people indeed.
Going through the archway Naruto listened to his mother's footsteps with his advanced hearing to judge how far she reached or if she arrived already.
His ears picked up sounds , but it wasn't from directly in front of him , more like, the hallway!
'Where is he?! I requested he see me more than half an hour ago. W-what kind of stupid imbecile lets someone as valuable as him, wander around aimlessly in the main house?!!!'
'S-s-sorry , Lady Yuna, I thought-'
'No! No, you didn't think at all!! I don't even know what I could say to this kind of stupidity!! I-I-I...Mistress Kushina wanders this house more than fish swim!! What would you do if they met? Who knows what kind of effect this will have on my poor sister , you fool!!'
Naruto shivered at the thought of being found now and slowly peeked through the first door he came through to see if they were as close as he heard.
He saw nothing indicating people out the window and he inwardly sighed in relief.
They weren't that close.
Outside the little corner room Lady Yuna was in great turmoil. She was slightly shaking, as if she was about to faint. Her eyes were bloodshot from worry and anticipation.
She looked up and started screaming at them, "YOU IDIOTS! Goodness! Why does my sister allow you imbeciles to breathe the same air as her?!" She walked up close to one of the guards, actually being the same guard who first told Naruto of her message , and spoke lowly , "Now listen here , my sister only permits you being here alive, out of the goodness of her pure heart, make a mistake like this again and I , out of the goodness of my heart and eradicate you from the history of
Whirlpool , to prevent this insane stupidity that may cost somebody their LIFE!!"
She screamed the last part at them and shook the terrified guards shoulders as hard as she could , which was very hard , mind you.
The guard fell to the floor trembling and stuttering , "Y-y-yes , L-l-lady Y-yuna."
She sneered at him and shouted again , "Well? What are you waiting for? An invitation?! GO FIND THE BOY!!"
They nodded shakily and crawled into a run to find the boy that nearly cost them their lives.
Yuna sighed and took some deep breaths in , fixed her clothes and walked off in the other direction.
~xoX0xOxoo~
Naruto in the window room , sighed as he heard them all leave.
Naruto was silently glad that she was calm when she was speaking to him. He wouldn't have been able to take it if she screamed at him with those biting words about how much his mother apparently hates him.
He looked back to the archway. Follow his mother or go to his aunt. The first choice was rather appealing , but if his aunt was looking for him so desperately , anxious , so that he wouldn't meet his mother , if she managed to find him while with his mother , he could just imagine what she would do to him.
The urge to follow his mother was rather strong but where was she going? Who was she going to meet? What if there were guards? He wanted to go after her but the safest choice was to go to where his aunt was , apologize and probably think of some lie to tell her to explain what happened because as he said before , what she would do if she found out he met his mother he could just imagine.
He walked to the side of the window , looked out , sent out his chakra , sensing for any people. Finding none , he wiggled back out the window , trying to make the least noise as possible.
Naruto walked silently up to where he saw his aunt going around a corner.
Right behind the corner there was door. She was conversing with two guards in front of it. He walked closer , preparing to call out to her but froze as he heard what she said next.
"When I find that little brat , I'll maim him!! Running away like a damn sissy!
Listen , we'll further up the plans. We have got to chakra bind him and use the machine to bring out his most painful memories. Then and only then , will we be able to access that foul chakra that was the cause of my poor sister's situation."
The two guards nodded and Naruto paled. They continued conversing but Naruto couldn't hear them. His heartbeat resounding in his ears as he turned to run.
He had to be silent and quick , to go hide away from his aunt but a fierce pain through his stomach , back and head froze him in place.
'I thought we were over this already! What more could there be?!'
Naruto let out a quiet groan , afraid to be heard , but as the pain got more intense so did the sounds.
He took a step back , still trying to retreat despite the pain, but he cried out , catching the attention of his aunt and the guards.
He bent over , as if to hurl and cried out a second time , louder. His aunt was sure now and she rushed over along with her posse and stared.
Naruto fell onto his hands and knees and let out a sharp yelp of pain. His back were reintroduced to their old friends , the size of oranges that ran up and down his back in two straight lines. They moved faster than the last time and suddenly the sound of ripping cloth and blood filled the air.
Naruto , still on the ground , arched and yelled , as his wings shot out of his back. As if in slow motion , Yuna watched as each feather came out beautiful and angelic. She gasped as along with this lengthened scream of pain , his eyes glowed a luminous light blue , almost white , and although it could not be seen by his aunt's peering eyes , the seal on his stomach burned in a wild flare , as if on fire.
Chakra gathered around his glowing eyes , glowing fully that even the whites around his iris subjected to it.
He screamed again , and Yuna and her cronies gasped as a light blue water like string of chakra , came from Naruto and was wiggling and thrusting about in the air , as if looking for something. It seemed as if it latched on to something , as it had straightened out completely , while one of the guards gasped and held on to his chest , where one of the major chakra points in one's body , was.
The guard fell to his knees as the string of chakra coming from Naruto grew bigger and bigger. It was about the size of a rope when Yuna realized what was happening and screamed at the next guard.
"What are you doing? Just standing there , help him!!"
The guard stumbled and acted as if in a panic. He looked to and fro between his partner and Naruto , unable to decide what to do in this situation. He had never seen anything like this before , so how was he supposed to help him?
Lady Yuna growled in frustration , seeing that the fool would be of no help and stalked up to Naruto. She herself wasn't sure of what to do , she didn't know what would happen if she did do something. The two were connected , that was clear , and she didn't know if one could die if that connection was broken , she just didn't know! She really did not want anyone to die but in her opinion , the guards were useless anyways , it was the boy she was concerned about.
Sure , she hated him , sure she wished he would die but she did not want to have his blood stained on her gorgeous hands. She had killed before , of course but this boy...this boy was her nephew and source of the pain of many , including her. In her mind she knew it wasn't his fault but she couldn't help but hate him.
Because of him she as to stay here , confined in this place. Because of him , her sister was sick in ways not imaginable and she had what Yuna never could.
How many times had she been foiled in attempts of love by her sister. How many times had she had to watch her sister go through painful and merciless therapy , to try and restore most of what had been lost in her encounter with those relentless bastards. It was a constantly fighting balance , like Ying and Yang. One one hand she admired her sister and loved her greatly and would do anything for her , but on the other hand she carried a great deal of jealousy for her sister. How was it that they were twins yet she was loved so much better?
It was in that same way she felt herself in a predicament. She hated Naruto , but then again she also hated her sister.
She pulled back her hand , ready to strike , when something stilled her in her tracks.
Yuna!! Yuna! My darling sister , what are you doing?!"
Ooh! How is THAT?! I tried to make it a bit conflicting , you see since in school I am actually doing things like Conflict and Emotions and Drama and that sort of stuff. I got Bi-Monthlies and stuff yet I still find time to write. I tell , ya , I am SO gonna fail -_-
Btw , The bloodline limit is not supposed to be like that , or visible but as you can see (read or whatever) the Kyuubi seal is interfering with the usual way of things so as you can guess it's gonna turn a whole ways from now. Not to mention I have to fit in Romance and all that junk. Also , the bloodline may also react differently because of the similar blood in such close regions. To put it simply , It's like , attack someone with the same blood as yours and it like the bloodline is trying to differentiate which one is the real enemy. See? Simple?
Soooo chapter 10 will be up........whenever. As you can see my lifestyle is currently in a shamble , trying to get in some time to write is like trying to....trying to...you see?! It's so hard I can't find anything to compare it with!~
Boo~!
Review or Orochimaru eats a bunny~~!!
