Chapter 10

Truth to be held like a double edged sword

Ronin broke into the interrogation room and slammed the door. He inched forward towards the helpless knights. One of the knights smiled it was the taller one so it must of been the black knight. But one thing confused Ronin the taller knight had no burns but the shorter one did and the heat must of cooked him inside his armour.

"So which one of you is the leader?" the tall knight asked. "I am." Ronin said. But Naruto and Hinata both said "no one." Ronin turned on them and an argument broke out.

"Stop!' Naruto said. "He's messing with us." the three stopped and stared at the knight.

"So it has a brain." the knight said looking at Naruto. " Where'd your claws go kitty? I see you still have you whiskers." Naruto stepped towards him.

"I'll show you claws." he said. The knight leaned forward in the chair. "Please do I never got a round two." Ronin grinned.

"Tell me why you're here." he said. "Ok," the knight nodded. Hinata was surprised at his cooperation.

(Minutes later)

Ronin had just finished telling the Hokage what the knight told him. The black knight's name was Faron and the red is Ren.

"Thank you Ronin I will speak to Ren now. You may go." the Hokage said. Ronin left without Naruto and Hinata.

(A week later)

Ronin laid on top of Konoha's gate. He looked out towards the forest and saw Kakashi, Kiba and Sasuke walked out the forest. Ronin looked confused as he noticed that Sakura didn't follow. Ronin jumped down towards them. He saw Kiba's face. It was as lifeless as Sasuke's gaze.

"Hey where Sakura?" he asked looking around "She must have complained all the way." Kiba walked past him without looking.

"She didn't make it." Kiba whispered. Ronin didn't know how he should react. He was happy Sakura was gone, but he felt bad because Kiba couldn't move on with the rest of the gang. Ronin embraced Kiba, who hesitated. When Ronin let go of him Kiba crumbled. He fell to his knees. Ronin stood in front of him. Ronin picked Kiba up and walked to the house. Ronin set Kiba on the couch and sat next to him. Naruto walked in an hour later and saw Kiba sleeping on the couch and Ronin in the kitchen.

"Ronin why is Kiba here?" Naruto asked as he entered the kitchen.

"He got back from his mission. Sakura… died." Ronin said. Naruto looked dumbfounded. He turned around and saw Kiba lying there. "It's time to take him home and you're going to do it. I have to make dinner. Naruto sighed and picked up Kiba.

"See ya later." Naruto said as he grabbed Kiba and walked him out the door. Ronin started to cook some food.

(With Naruto)

As Naruto and Kiba walked towards the Inuzuka estate he saw Ino with Ren. His eyes widened he walked over to them.

"What are you doing?" he asked. Ino looked at him in surprise.

"I'm showing him around Konoha," She said.

"But this is one of the people at the camp. His friend nearly killed us!" Naruto yelled.

"Well the Third hokage said that I should. He talked and decided they he would become a ninja." Ino said "Isn't that great?" She smiled.

Naruto looked at her through slit eyes. "Where's the other one?" he asked.

"With Hinata." Naruto stared at her. But Ino wasn't done. "And they're coming to live with you.

"No they are not!" Naruto said.

"Yes we are." Ren spoke.

"Fine, But do not take him home yet and If you meet up with Hinata tell her not to go in either." Naruto said.

"No promises." Ino giggled. Ino and Ren walked away.

(After delivering Kiba)

When Naruto entered his house. He saw an enraged Ronin throwing stuff around the house with Ino, Hinata, Ren and Faron ducking behind whatever they could.

"Why is the world would he let the people who tried to kill us live with us?" he yelled. Ren looked around for escape " I just wanted to know where my room would be."

"Get out!" Ronin yelled. Everyone ran out of the room. As everyone rushed out Naruto snuck in. Ronin slammed the door and turned. He saw Naruto speed up the stairs. He was to exhausted to yell. Everyone outside had a small bit of fear inside their eyes. None have seen Ronin so angry.

(With Naruto)

"God that was insane." Naruto thought as he locked his door. He sank on to the floor. A few minutes later Ronin knocked on the door.

"Hey Naruto. Are you okay." Ronin said as he kept knocking on the door.

"How did you know I was here?" Naruto asked.

"I didn't." Ronin said. Naruto slapped his face.

"You okay?" Naruto asked.

"No," Ronin said. "They're from Hyrule."

"Oh, yea I forgot about that."

(outside)

"So," Ino said. "You guys are ninja now?"

"Yea," said Faron. "We even were assigned teams."

"Really?" Hinata asked. "What team are you on?"

"I was put on a team where a member had quit because he almost died on a mission." Faron said.

"What team were you put on Ren?" Ino asked.

"Well.. um..."Ren started. "I don't think I should be the one telling you that. In fact, Hinata could you get Ronin and Naruto? And Ino could you get the rest of your guy's friends." although they were confused the girls agreed.

(later)

Ronin glared at Ren as he walked outside with Naruto and Hinata behind him. He was surprised to she all his friends except Kiba waiting.

"What are you guys doing here? He asked. "Ino said you had some to tell us." Shino said. The others nodded their heads. Ren walked up to Ronin and whispered something in his ear. Ronin realized he had to tell them this some time.

"Ok," Ronin started unsure how to continue. "If you hadn't heard team 7 is back from their mission." they seem confused.

"You brought us here to tell us that?" Choji asked eating a bag of chips.

"Sakura didn't make it." they didn't know how to react to that. The never really liked her but never wanted her to die. Someone was crying. Ronin looked for who it was. Hinata had a shocked look on her face. He looked on. It was Ino. Ronin wasn't surprised by this she known her the longest. It was only recently they started disliking each other.

Ren approached her trying to comfort her. Everyone started walking off in shock Ren when with Ino. Ronin turned to go inside. Faron was sitting on the steps.

"Now can I get a room?" he asked. Ronin just nodded and walked inside.

(The next day)

Ronin and Hinata were out searching for Naruto who was hiding from Faron who got pranked by him.

"I know Naruto can be dumb at times, but this was out right stupid." Ronin sighed as he continued to search around.

"Well I guess it was his fault for messing with Faron." Hinata agreed.

"Wow I thought you would have taken Naruto's side." Ronin said. They both heard heavy breathing on the roof on a building next to them. They jumped up to find Naruto who was lying there unharmed. "You ok little bro?" Ronin asked as he watched him.

"Yeah. I'm fine." He said hesitantly.

"It's ok Naruto we will be okay as long as we can sneak you home." Hinata said as she sat next to him. "Go Ronin bring Naruto to the house."

"Why can't you do it?" Ronin said as he stood there.

"Because I don't what to get hurt by Faron." Hinata said as she stared right at Ronin. Ronin just picked up the boy and teleported away. Hinata jumped down the building to take a stroll. As Hinata continued her walk she wondered why Ronin was angry a lot of the time. Her stroll led her to Ino who was sitting on a bench with a blank look in her eye.

(With the bros)

As Ronin dragged Naruto inside he saw Faron in the distance he hurried Naruto into his room and walked out and closed the door behind him. Faron then walked into the door.

"Have you found him?" Faron growled. Ronin just scoffed.

"Haven't seen him since he left." Ronin said as he walked along. Faron sighed and departed to his room.

"Hey little bro you can go to your room now." Ronin whispered through the door.

"Good." Naruto said. They heard a voice.

"Tisk tisk tisk.." it was ren in the corner of the room. Ronin noticed he wasn't wearing his armor he had dark brown eyes almost black. He had black spiky hair laid had a mischievous smile across his face. "It's not nice to lie." Ronin gave Ren a look. It was a you better not say it one. But Ren just smiled more.

"Faron!" he yelled "he's in here!" Ronin glared. Faron ran into the doorway and Ronin noticed that he also wasn't wearing armor but, his once brown hair was also pink. But what Ronin didn't see was the pouch on the back of his waist. In the pouch was a water balloon full of ink surrounded by cotton.

Faron ran at Naruto who jumped to the side avoiding Faron. Ronin and Ren watched.

Faron reached behind his back and opened the pouch taking out the balloon which he kept behind his back. He ran at Naruto again swinging his arm with the balloon at the side of Naruto's head. Naruto used both hands to shove Faron away who fell to the floor. The balloon still on it's way exploded on the side of Naruto's head. Ink splattered everywhere. Ren on the far side of the room had enough time to duck Ronin on the other hand wasn't so lucky.

Ronin was infuriated he charged at Faron and with one hand picked him up off the floor. He felt hands on his shoulders and pulled back. It was Ren. Ronin turned around and using both hands picked Ren up. He then pushed with all his might. Ren flew across the room towards the window. Ren felt the glass break against his back. He remembered Ronin's room being on the top floor.

(minute later)

Ronin bent over Ren's body. He saw he chest rise and fall as he breathed so he knew he wasn't dead. His body twitched his eyes flicked open for a second his eyes looked green but then he blinked again and his eyes were normal.

He looked at Ronin. "Don't do that again." Ren looked at the other crowding him as he got up.

"I'm going to bed."

(at night)

Ronin walked around the halls. He was about go to bed when he heard noise. He followed the sound and was lead to Ren's room. He walked inside. Ren was tossing and turning in his bed. Ronin walked to the side of the bed and looked at suddenly, Ren turned his eyes were wide open. Only he didn't have pupils. Ronin stared into those white abyss of eyes. Then Ren turned away again. Ronin walked out and went to his room. Sleep didn't come easily.
