Hope you like it!
and i dont own Naruto. Don't sue me
Chapter 10:
The Change of Belief
"You expect me to believe that?" He snorted.
The kunai dug deeper into her neck. It came to the point that her neck was soaked in her blood. "It's the truth!" Her blood had set her nerves on fire. She couldn't just lay there waiting for him to do something. She kicked her feet up and knocked his hand way. The kunai fell from his hand and Naruto scooped it up as she jumped to her feet. "You can believe me or not, but I'm not lying." She disappeared, but she didn't go far. She reappeared in a tree behind Jiraiya.
"I don't," he sneered. A Rasengan appeared in his hand. "Tell me who taught you this?" He took a step toward her.
She was sick of this situation and she didn't care about the possible change in the future. In fact, it would be better if it was changed. She was sick of the past and all the baggage that came with it. What would be so bad if the future was changed? There wasn't anything that came to mind. Nothing at all. Okay, there were a few things, but she doubted the worth of those things. Having her parents alive during her childhood would be worth all the risks…But did she have the balls to do it? "I told you my Sensei did."
"And who is that!"
After putting the kunai way, she jumped out of the tree. "You."
"That's enough. I was never your sensei!" He took a step closer and the Rasengan still shone brightly in his hand.
Naruto took a deep breathe. Jiraiya was someone who she could always count on when she needed help, but it seemed like he was her enemy now. However, it didn't worry her too much. She knew she could get him to listen. Well, she had to get him to listen, and she did it by explaining everything that she knew about him. It might help him to convince him. "Pervy-Sage," she uttered.
"Don't call me that!" he snapped. "And so what if you know all of that. That doesn't mean anything." Though he didn't still believe her, the Rasengan disappeared from his hand. "Anyone can know about that."
She still wasn't out of options just yet. She pulled out the necklace out of her shirt and held it outward to show Jiraiya. It was a very important gift from Tsunade that she would never part with. "As Tsunade's teammate, you should understand the importance of this crystal. This should tell you something."
He studied the necklace that hanged around her neck. "Yea, it tells me you're a thief."
She allowed the necklace to drop from her hand. "You know only a fool would steal from Tsunade." She was running out of ideas, but there was still one idea left that couldn't be denied. She wiped the blood off her neck with her hand and threw it toward Jiraiya, who only stared. "Here's my blood. It'll match Minato Namikaze."
"And if it doesn't." The look in his eyes told her everything. He didn't believe her, and he would do anything to prove it.
"I'll leave that up to you." He may doubt it, but she had no doubt. She knew who she was, and there was nothing that he could do. "However, this needs to be kept quiet."
He nodded. "Fine. Let's go." He led the way as Naruto followed. She didn't know what was going through his mind, but she was worried. She didn't know what was going to happen, but she knew the Old Man wasn't going to be happy with this. She wasn't happy with it.
Kakashi had asked if he needed company, but Sasuke thought it was better if he went alone. There was no way in telling what his father would do, and it was for the best if he faced that anger alone. Taking a deep breath, Sasuke entered the compound. It was how he remembered. People, all simpler, filled the streets. Each had the Uchiha symbol on their clothes and each had the same expression. It was a bit unreal to see so many Uchihas in one place. He had spent years being the last, being totally alone. And now, he wasn't. He couldn't express how much this met to him.
He glanced around as he made his way to the main meeting hall. He was catching non-so sneaky glances from the members of the clan. There was no doubt talk about him, and he was also a fine looking man, if he didn't say so himself. It would make sense that people were interested in him. He knew he would if he was in their shoes. As he came upon the hall, he took another deep breath. He had to face his father.
Walking into the hall, he found it empty beside a lone man in his corner that he recognized to be his father. Sasuke was speechless, as he took in his father. He hadn't seen the man since his murder by his old brother. His stern face was how he remembered it, and it could still make him feel like a helpless child, even if he was far from it. "Fugaku Uchiha," Sasuke called out. It was strange to call his father by his name.
Stepping out of the corner, Fugaku showed his Sharingan. "I don't recognize you."
"Does that matter? That doesn't change the fact that I exist." Sasuke decided that he wasn't going to play nice if his father wasn't going to play nice. He blinked his eyes to reveal his fully developed Sharingan.
"Impressive, but for someone who processes the fully developed Sharingan, it's odd that I don't recognize you."
Sasuke held back a snort. He didn't care if his father recognized him…well he didn't, but that wasn't important. "Get to what you want to talk about."
"Classic Uchiha impatience, but that's fine. Let's talk about your engagement to a Non-Uchiha. You are in fact the man, who claims Naruto as your wife, are you not?" Fugaku asked. His voice didn't reveal anything about his anger.
He didn't bother to correct him. "It is not your concern to who I will marry." In the Uchiha clan, being soft spoken wasn't respected. Being able to stand your ground, foolish as it may be, was something to be respected.
"You gave her knowledge that wasn't yours to give."
"In order for my future heirs with her to be raised in the Uchiha tradition, it was important that she understood the way of the clan," Sasuke asked. He was trained to take control through any way possible. The use of Logic was one of those ways that he could gain control, but it wasn't always the funniest way to do so.
"You didn't have permission to marry outside the clan."
There was no way to get out of this without lying. Only a clan leader could give permission, who he was in his time, and he did give himself permission. It would've been sad if he didn't. "As a member of the Uchina Clan, a right by blood, I did not have the blessing, but as a ninja of the village, I had every right to marry who I see fit."
"As member of the Uchiha, you follow different rights which are decided by the Clan leader."
Sasuke snorted. He would've laughed, but that wouldn't have been a good idea. "You have no rights. You're just a figure head, whose only rights are given by the Hokage. If the Hokage wanted, he could take all of your rights away and there isn't a damn thing you could do to stop it." If Fugaku expression was to judge, he was pissed beyond reason. It made Sasuke smiled. If the situation wasn't deadly, he would giggle (not that Sasuke Uchiha giggles).
"YOU!" His father had him pinned to the wall in no time, but he was no match for Sasuke. In matter of seconds, Sasuke had him pin with a kunai at his father's throat. Sasuke's Sharingan was flaring. "I'll have your head."
"I would like to see you try." Sasuke had enough of this. No one was going to tell him what to do, not even his own father, who never treated his children with love (not that he needed it). "You're no match for me." However, it would be stupid to kill his father, when he wasn't born yet. It was better to wait.
"I'll report you to the Hokage. You'll be placed under arrest."
Was that supposed to scare him? The Hokage wouldn't do anything and he knew it. "Well let's see about that." Sasuke disappeared, leaving his father on the ground.
Kakashi, or Misha in public, couldn't help himself. He needed to get out of that compartment, as he couldn't handle the silence. It made him question everything as there was nothing to distract him from his present situation. He was in the past and he had the power to change the future into anything that he wanted. He could save his whole team and give Naruto her parents. He could stop the war that he knew was coming. He could save a great numbers of lives. What is wrong with that? He asked himself. In his mind, there was nothing wrong with that, but there was something wrong with it, when one was to consider the bigger picture. The past wasn't something that should be missed with, because a person could never know what would happen if someone were to mess with the past. It could result in more wrong than good. That was what Kakashi was afraid of.
Though Kakashi's teammates weren't listed on the stone, there're other names that he recognized. It was a testament to how much death he had faced his life. His father for example wasn't on the stone, because he hadn't died in battle. He was killed by his own hand, which still haunted him. He had always thought he father would end up on the stone, but he didn't. His father didn't die a hero, which was something that Kakashi couldn't look past; however, he was able to keep living with his mistakes, which was a lesson that his younger self had not.
Taking a deep breath, Kakashi turned away from the stone. He couldn't stand to look at it anymore; it brought back all the feelings that he had, when he was child. He wasn't in any hurry as he walked away, because walking had always helped him to think, which was what he needed. He walked aimlessly without a care what was going on around him.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!"
Kakashi blinked unaware of how distant he was from reality. "Sor-" There in front of him was Obito, who would die right in front of him in a year or so. For a brief second, he wondered what Obito would do if he knew he had so little time left.
"Sor? That isn't even a word!" Obito pointed his finger at Kakashi.
Obito had an act for pointing out the obvious, which was one trait that often pissed off Kakashi when he was younger, but now, it made his heart skipped. He missed it. "Sorry. Something just crossed my mind."
Obito smiled with his eyes. "It's okay! I do that sometimes." He made a movement to step past Kakashi, but he stopped as he looked at the only part of Kakashi's face that wasn't covered. "What is it with people and covering their faces? My jackass of a teammate does the same thing."
Kakashi kept in his chuckle. "Because I would make babies cry if they would lay one single look on my face," he teased.
"Really?"
"No, but women would faint if I didn't."
Obito laughed. "You're funny. I like you. What's your name?"
"Misha," Kakashi lied. It felt strange to lie to Obito, but he wasn't willing to risk the future at the present time. "And yours?" He knew who he was of course, but he had to keep up the act.
"Obito of the Uchiha Clan!" he yelled pointing at the symbol on his clothes.
"Could you be any louder?" He teased. He thought of Naruto for a second. Obito and Naruto had simpler personalities. "Nice to meet you though." They both were loud as all fuck.
"Sorry, that's one of the things that my teammates complain about."
"OBITO! OBITO."A voice ran out from the woods, and Obito's face went red.
It didn't take long for Kakashi to recognize the voice. It was Rin, and it stopped his heart. He had also lost her to the grim reaper. It was one of his most painful memories.
"OBITO, SHOW YOURSELF!"
"Well, I've to go, or else Rin is going to kill me!" Obito bowed to Kakashi as a sign of respect. "It was nice to meet you, Misha," he said before running off into the woods.
Kakashi felt sorry for Obito, because he knew that Rin wasn't going to be gentle. However, he didn't have to worry about chakra filled fists like they had to with Sakura or Tsunade. Why did all medical ninjas have to be scarily women with short tempers? It was one reason to never allow oneself to be wasn't going to stay in the Hospital any longer than needed, and she didn't care if it was to wait for a DNA test.
As soon as she entered the hospital, she was attacked by a nurse, who ran over the injury to her neck. She tried to explain that it looked worse than it really was, but the nurse didn't believe her. After they had taken her blood, they had fixed her up, even though she said it was fine. Why didn't anyone ever listen to her? She wasn't stupid; she knew what she was talking about.
However, Jiraiya decided that he was going to wait for the results of the test, which would take a few hours. He didn't trust anyone and he was going to make sure himself that everything was run correctly. He was too worried about the results that he didn't notice Naruto leave, and that was fine with her. She didn't want to be there when he saw that she was telling the truth. She didn't need the wipe lash, and she had to report the DNA test to Sarutobi, who wouldn't be pleased with it. It would be another piece of paper showing that she was there.
"Naruto!"
Picking up her head, she looked in the direction that her name was called. It was Kushina, and it brought back a painful memory of her fight (if she could call it a fight) with Minato. Was her mother using her as well? It would be the last nail in her coffin if she was. "Hey!" she responded when Kushina was a few feet away.
"OMG! What happened to your neck?"
"What are you talking about?" she asked. She had wiped off all the blood from her skin; she couldn't have missed anything, could she? Looking down, she noticed the problem. The top of her outfit had turned crimson from the blood and it was visible that it was in fact blood. "O', that. Training accident." Kushina didn't need to know that Jiraiya had attacked her. "But I'm all better now. See!" She showed Kushina her smooth neck. There was no evidence that there was ever a cut.
"Alright," she said, sounding unsure, but she moved on. "I'm planning a prank for Minato. I wondered if you wanted in!"
Yup, it was awkward to think about Minato. Sure, she understood his motives, but that didn't mean she had to like them. It royally pissed her off that he was using her. She was his daughter damn it (not that he knew, but still)! There would've been a difference if he wasn't so close and important to her and if he had kept an eye on her without pretending to care about her, but he didn't. That was what hurt. "Not today. I'm beat," she lied.
"O,' come on! You can never be too tired for a Prank." Kushina had the biggest smile that Naruto had ever seen. It was really hard to say no, but it wasn't impossible. "I bet even Minato would enjoy it."
"I don't goddamn care what he would enjoy. He could fell off a cliff for all I care. In fact, I wish he would!" Yeah, Naruto was pissed, and she had everything right to be, after what he had done. Why did everyone she ever cared about hurt her? Why did they have to break her heart? It wasn't fair.
Kushina took a deep breath. "Naruto, what happen? I thought you two were becoming friends?"
Naruto snorted. Why would she think that? Sure, he had looked after her that day in the rain, and sure, she sparred with him for his team. And yes, she did have a ramen eating contest with him, and yes, they had spent time talking, but that didn't mean anything. He was just playing with her like everyone else did in her fucken life. She was sick of it. Really goddamn sick of it. "Ha. Friends? Yea, right." She shook her head. "Fine, I don't want him to fall off a cliff, but I don't want to see that ass again!" For one thing, if he fell off a cliff, she wouldn't be born and she would like to be born.
"What did that idiot do?" she asked. It was clear that Kushina was pissed with Minato.
With that thought, Naruto was happy for she knew that Kushina would beat the living shit out of him for her. Again, she did wonder how she was born, but she wouldn't think about that now. "Don't worry about it." She paused. "I've to go. I've things to do," she lied. She didn't feel like talking. She hated talking. She hated being this goddamn emotional, which she blamed on being a goddamn woman.
With that, she left a pissed off Kushina who had gone Minato haunting after Naruto had left.
"So how did it go?" Kakashi asked as he found Sasuke sitting under a tree in one of the training grounds.
Sasuke chuckled. "How do you think it went? He wants my head."
Kakashi knew that both Sasuke and his father were both hard headed idiots. He should've figured that it would end badly. "So what happened?" He lowered himself next to Sasuke, who stared off into the distance.
After filling Kakashi into the situation, Sasuke said, "I doubt the Hokage will be too happy with me." He paused as if he expected Kakashi to jump in. "It seemed like no one is too happy with me." There was a long list of people who weren't too happy with him, even Kakashi was on it, and he didn't blame him.
Kakashi glanced up into the sky. "There was a point in my life that no one was happy with me, and I lived my life not caring and making enemies with people who needn't be. I regret it to this day." He closed his eyes, thinking about Obito and how much hatred there was between the two of them. It wasn't until the end that Kakashi saw the truth. He just wished he could've seen it sooner. "I wished that I could change it, but the past is the past." He held in his laugher as he thought about how ironic it was. He was in the past and he had a chance to change it all. "But you have a time to fix it."
Taking a deep breath, Sasuke glanced up too. "I guess."
"There's no guessing, Sasuke." Kakashi studied Sasuke's face, looking for any sign of remorse or understanding. "You have the power." His student always had the power, but he hardly used it. He didn't care about anyone, but himself. He didn't see that he had the power to control his life. He had influence in the world around. That people cared about him, and that he could care about others. He had shut himself off from the world, which only hurt him. He didn't care about others (like Kakashi had). "You can make a difference."
"Can I with Naruto?"
Sasuke sounded so broken, and it almost killed Kakashi. He really did care about Naruto, and it was obvious that he was scared by how much control she had over him, by how much he loved her. It was also clear that he would do anything for her. Though Kakashi wanted the answer to be no because he was selfish, he couldn't lie. "In time, but if you keep acting the way you do, no. Naruto isn't an object that you can do whatever you want with. You can't tell her what to do. You've to respect her wishes and give her what she wants, even if it is space."
"I can't help it. I feel if I gave her space and allow her to do stupid things, I will lose her. I don't think I could handle it, if something were to happen to her. I love her." His head fell.
As do I, Kakashi thought. He cared too much to let Sasuke have another chance with her, but he didn't have a choice. He would respect anything choice that she made, because he loved her. "Why did you cheat on her? And don't blame it on the lack of sex." He knew sex wasn't the problem. There was something else.
"It was only sex. I can't stand Ino." Sasuke denied.
Kakashi snorted. "I don't understand how you can have sex with someone you can't stand."
"I don't either. I was drawn to her for some reason, and after the first night I cheated, it didn't matter. I don't know why, but it didn't." He paused as if to catch his breath. "I cheated once, so who cared how many times I had sex with her? I knew she would never tell Naruto if I told her not to."
"Bullshit," Kakashi snapped. "Once can be forgiven if you went straight to Naruto after it happened and told her what happened." The more he heard, the more he wanted to beat Sasuke's ass, and the more he wanted to keep Naruto way from him. "You cheated on Naruto with someone you can't stand, and you wonder why she's pissed and hurt."
"And I hate myself for that," Sasuke breathed as he stood up.
"As you should," Kakashi muttered to himself. "Let's get something to eat." Sasuke nodded.
They walked in silence. There wasn't anything else to say, and they each decided without words that they would just listen. Listening to the world around them would offer answers that they wouldn't understand any other way, but at times there were things that they didn't want to listen to like arguments that didn't involve them.
"YOU JACK ASS! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?"
"Kushina, calm down."
"THE HECK I WILL!"
"Please. Calm down. And it doesn't concern you."
Kakashi stopped. He recognized both voices, and it had sent his mind into overdrive. He looked around looking for the owners of the voices, and it seemed that Sasuke was as well. He had seen Kakashi stopped. "Over there," the Uchiha said pointing to the left side of the path. "She doesn't seem too happy," he muttered.
Kakashi had to agree. Kushina was pissed, and it scared him every single time. He had wondered why Minato hadn't pissed his pants yet. What did he do? Minato wasn't the type to piss Kushina off to that degree. Sure, he was known to annoy her, but she was never too pissed with him. It looked like she wanted to skin him live.
"Let's go," Sasuke said, but Kakashi didn't pay anything attention to him. "This doesn't concern us, and…besides…they both hate my guts and considering they both looked pissed, I don't think it would be wise for me to be here." He sounded semi scared.
That did catch Kakashi's attention. "What? I knew you pissed off Minato? But Kushina as well? What did you do?" Sasuke didn't answer. "You know, that's kinda funny. Both of Naruto's parents can't stand you. Normal behavior for parents. Hating their daughter's boyfriend, or well ex-boyfriend."
"Shut up," he hissed.
"Wh-" Kakashi started, but he was drowned out by the flaming red head.
"STOP TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN, YOU JERK. TELL ME WHAT YOU DID TO HER!"
Kakashi (Sasuke by extension) stepped closer, because neither of them wanted Minato to die, which would result in Naruto never being born. She needed to be born.
"It has nothing to do with you," Minato snapped.
Shit, Minato has a death wish. What the fuck happen? Kakashi was at a loss for words. What did Minato to do? It had to be something bad to piss off both Kushina and him.
"ASSHOLE!" Kushina had snapped as she pinned Minato to a tree. A kunai hanged dangerous in one hand.
"They have a kid together? How does that happen?" Sasuke whispered to Kakashi, who was equally shocked.
"Get off me or I'll make you," Minato ordered through his teeth. He was trying to calm himself, because he didn't want to hurt Kushina.
"I like to see you try, Namikaze."
Switching to his last name meant that things were going worse, and Kakashi decide that it would be best if he intervened. In an instance, he was between the two future lovebirds (the concept had started to blow his mind) and had pushed Kushina away from Minato. "I think you two better calm down."
Sizing him up, Kushina snarled, "And who the hell do you think you are?"
"Misha," Kakashi said, believing it was best to give her something to call him.
"Well, Misha, you should mind your own business," she snapped, which had startled Kakashi even more. He wasn't expecting her to be so nasty, but what he really wasn't expecting was her throwing a punch at him.
However, it never made contact. Sasuke had grabbed her arm, stopping it in place. "I would like it very much if you didn't hit my Sensei."
"You, You cheating Bastard!" Kushina snapped. "You think you can tell me what to do? You have another thing coming." She pulled her arm back.
Sasuke took a deep breath. "I don't think anything. I just think it wouldn't do anyone any good if you hit people."
Minato stepped away from the three. "I agree with the Uchiha," he said, calmly. It seemed that he had regained some form of dignity.
Kushina took a deep breath. "It's no wonder two jackasses agree with each other. I should've expected that."
Kakashi couldn't understand why she was so pissed. Really, what did Minato do? "It would be stupid to let your anger control you." He took a step forward, putting himself between Sasuke and Kushina.
"Stupid? You think I'm stupid?"
Shit, Kakashi thought. How did he get himself into these situations? "No. I don't."
"Kushina, please calm down," Minato said, trying again to calm the red head.
"Telling me that won't make me calm down! You hurt Naruto, my fellow prankster!" Kushina hissed.
Shit, Kakashi thought again.
Sasuke had turned his attention from Kushina and turned his attention on Minato. "You did what to my fiancée?"
"She isn't your fiancée!" Minato and Kushina hissed. They glared at each other before turning their attention back to Sasuke.
"I don't care if she is or not. Anyone who hurt her I will hurt them," Sasuke hissed.
It just wasn't Kakashi's day. "Sasuke, calm down," he said, putting his arm on his student's shoulders.
"You-"
"Enough!" All four adults stopped and turned. "Do I always have to be the grown up?" Little Kakashi had appeared in a tree which was only a few feet away from them. "Why don't you act like Ninjas and not babies?"
Interesting, Older Kakashi thought.
"Sorry, Kakashi, you're right," Minato said.
Naruto took a deep breath as she closed her eyes under a larger oak tree. There were so many things that haunted her mind, and she had to clear her mind or else she would go crazy. So she thought about nature that surrendered her. She thought about the wind that blew through the trees and her hair. She thought about the feeling of the grass under her fingers. She contemplated the life of the hawk that flew about her head, and when she stopped wondering about the hawk, her mind reflected on the roles of each ant in the hoard.
Each idea she thought about had a purpose in the world that she lived in, and she had started to wonder about her purpose. She had always thought that it was her life purpose to be ninja, but was it really? There were so many other things that she could be doing. She could be a school teacher or a business owner. She could be anything. Taking another deep breath, she thought about her life as a ninja. She had done so many missions and she had saved more lives than she could count. She had done so much to be proud of, but there was something missing and she was going to find it. She would not rest until she did.
She went to move her arms to behind her head, but she found that she could not lift them. As shock ran through her, she tried to move her whole body, but her body was frozen. She couldn't even open her eyes, and she had started to freak out. What was wrong with her? What's going now? Did I hurt myself somehow? Her mind flashed back to the last time she couldn't move. Taiya's spell had frozen her before. Could it be him again?
Something warm had been pressed to her lips. What the fuck? She realized that someone was kissing her, and that he (or she, she was unsure at the moment) had pried opened her mouth with his tongue. She struggled to move, to push the intruder off her, but she was helpless. He had continued to take advantage of her inability to move, as his tongue explored her mouth. She felt his hand on her shoulder. Not again. When she was kidnapped, she was almost rapped. She couldn't go through that again. She might die if something like that were to happen.
The foreign tongue left her mouth, and she felt like she could breathe again. "I won't hurt you, little fox." She felt his hot breath on her ear. It was Taiya. It meant that Tsunade hadn't caught him let. She tried to slow down her heavy breathing, but it wasn't working. "I want you to look at me." He muttered something that she couldn't understand.
However, she was able to open her eyes. Unable to move her head, she was forced to look him in the eyes. "You have such pretty eyes," Taiya said.
Naruto was helpless unable to do anything.
"I missed you."
She struggled to move something, but she could only control her eyes.
"My plan isn't finished yet, but when it is. I'll return you to the future."
She paused her struggled. She had to find out what his plan was.
"But right now, I need to fix a mistake with a certain Uchiha. I didn't mean to send him here, but it gave me a chance to see you." He gave her kiss on the forehead.
He scared Naruto unlike anything else that she had faced.
"I l-" He wasn't able to finished as he was thrown off her. Naruto shifted her eyes, trying to find her hero. It was Jiraiya. She hadn't been expecting that.
"Don't touch her!" the toad sage hissed. In his hand was the famous Rasengan that he had threatened her with only a few hours ago.
"And why not? She's so pretty," Taiya purred.
Naruto stared at Jiraiya, wondering what got him so protective. The last time she checked, he wanted to rip out her lungs. It was a change…Did the results come in already?
"Because I said so!" Jiraiya disappeared and appeared behind Taiya, who seemed unaware of it, but that wasn't the case. When Jiraiya shoved the Rasengan toward Taiya, he grabbed Jiraiya's wrist and redirected the ball of wind toward the ground. He released Jiraiya so he could escape from the Rasengan's contact with the ground. Jiraiya was knocked backward as the ground broke apart. After he had regained his footing, he went after Taiya. "She's my gaki"
Having nothing else to do, Naruto struggled with her bindings. "Come on!" She hated the feeling of being useless. She looked up to see Taiya blocking another attack. "Bastard." She had the feeling that he could read everything that Jiraiya was planning on doing.
After another missed Rasengan, Jiraiya was slowing down his attacks. He didn't want to waste energy on attacks that were going to miss. He needed his chakra for others things.
Naruto didn't give up. She pushed every inch of her body, and when she was about to give up, she felt her body flinch. "Yay, just a little bit more." She had found renew energy, and only a few minutes later she was able to break Taiya spells. As she stood, Naruto noticed the same weird symbols on the ground. Most of the symbols were cracked or alter some other way from the impact of Jiraiya's Rasengans. "That's it! Taiya's power lays in his symbols, and since his symbols were destroyed, his spells became useless! That's the key!"
After hearing another boom, Naruto turned her attack on Jiraiya and Taiya. She had to protect Jiraiya from Taiya, because she cared about him…and more importantly, he was vital to the future. Nothing must happen to him. Naruto raced to his aid and she was able to jump between them before Taiya was able to use his spell. "Stay away from my Sensei!" In a matter of seconds, a Rasengan appeared in Naruto's hand, and she launched it toward Taiya, who couldn't dodge in time. The madman was sent backward twenty yards and slammed against a huge stone.
"I wasn't expecting that, Little Fox," Taiya said, picking his head up. "Better than my expectations."
"Your expectations? What are you talking about, perverted freak?" Naruto snarled. She was sick of his games. She was going to find out what he wanted. "Why are you here?"
"Answer her," Jiraiya hissed after Taiya didn't respond. He forced his way in front of Naruto and wouldn't allow her to get past her. "What do you want with her besides making out with her without her consent?"
What right did Jiraiya have in trying to protect her? He had a kunai at her throat earlier that day. It annoyed her slightly, but she had other things to worry about at the moment.
"I'm not a perverted," Taiya denied. "Don't you dare call me that!" He jumped to his feet.
"Pervert!" Naruto yelled.
"Don't let him distract you, Naruto. What do you want?" Jiraiya hissed.
After wiping himself off, he took a step forward. "I'm not a pervert!" he snarled.
Naruto flinched at his tone. For someone who pinned her to the ground and made out with her without her consent, he sure disliked to be accused of being a pervert.
"And besides, my plan is for me to know and for you to never to find out," Taiya said, before he disappeared into nothingness.
"What do you think his plan is?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know, but it can't be good if it involved time travel."
"So you believe me now?" Naruto asked. She kept her anger in check. She didn't want to say something that she didn't mean or that she would regard later.
"Yes."
Hoped you liked it.
