"Naruto-kun ...why does your son have two different chakras?" Itachi asked.
Naruto smiled sadly at the question, why did Kazuhiko have two chakras, because he was cursed with the Uzumaki blood.
"Naruto are you alright?" Sai asked
Naruto blinked. "Yes I'm fine." he replied as he stared at Sasuke with Kazuhiko in his arms, he'd always wanted too see Kazuhiko being held by his best friend. He walked over too his chair and sat down and began to speak softly. "It's the Kyubis." He said quietly.
The room fell silent, just the word alone could make people stop in their tracks. "How is it possible I could have sworn that you nearly turned during our fight in the forest." Sasuke asked.
" .....It turns out that the Kyubi broke a piece of himself off of me and fused its chakra with one of my eggs ......when Hinata-chan had been in pregnancy nearly everyday she had collapsed, when Sakura did the check up she found out that the reasons for this was because Hinata was not from the same bloodline as me, so her body was reacting too the Kyubis chakra that fused with Kazuhiko, the chakra is like a poison for anyone other than me, Kazuhiko & Sakura." He explained
"Then how is it that Hyuga-san is still alive?" Pein asked
"She survived because she had promised never too leave me & I promised the same, she survived the birthing because she wanted to be the one too be with me and care for out child, she survived out of pure unadulterated will." Naruto replied.
"So Kazuhiko-kun is like you then?" Madara asked.
"Very." Naruto replied
"So does he know he holds part of the Kyubi in him?" Sasuke asked
"Hai, Hinata, Sakura, & Me had talked about how we would tell him because we made a promise at his birth that we would not keep it hidden from him like they did with me. So we came to the agreement of telling him on his fifth birthday." Naruto replied.
"Does he know about the Kyubi and it's history?" Sasori asked.
"Of course he does we made him study about it before we ever told him, so his reaction was expected." Naruto said
" .....Does he know that you carry the Kyubi as well?" Sasuke asked
" He does."
"You don't keep secrets from him do you?" Itachi asked
" ....... Just one but I'm sure he'll forgive me later for it."
Sasuke looked down at the blonde haired child, it was sad that the kid was cursed with such a thing, Naruto was a good person who never deserved such a burden. Yes his old teammate may have been annoying too him but the same went with Sakura, and Kakashi, he wouldn't doubt it if they thought he was annoying in some way or another. The team seven he remembered was truly no more.
That was all thanks too, genocide, love, betrayel, hate, sex, goals, revenge, demons, & power.
Sasuke stood up and walked over too Naruto handing the blue eyes child too his blue eyed father. "I'm quiet impressed Naruto for the first time you actually didn't screw something up." He said with a smirk.
Narutos face turned red and he knew right there that the old Naruto was still alive, meaning that somewhere deep deep down the old Sakura was still alive. Maybe just maybe things would all go back to the way they used too be, his eyes rolled to the side too look at Kakashi and Shizune, okay so not all things would go back to normal but hopefully some would.
"Naruto-kun I know you don't like bringing up this subject but are you or are you not going to participat-
-You're here and alive aren't you?" Naruto asked Madara
"Very well then perhaps you can tell us how we can get the others too help as well." Madara asked
Pein folded his hands together placing his chin on them for support. "We need all of the five nations too help take down the Orchiru Tenshi." He said
"I can tell you all for a fact that Suna will help us out without any questi-
"They didn't give any reply." Kakazu said
"Who did you give the invitation to?" Kakashi asked
"The Godaime Kakzekage." Suigetsu said
Naruto grinned. "Well then once he finds out that we're helping he'll have no choice but too except." He said cheekily.
"Were there any survivors in Amegakure?" Sai asked
The room fell silent at the mention of the rebellious village. Konan was the one too speak up. "Ame, Taki, Kusa, & Oto were completely destroyed in the war." She said silently.
" .... The Orchiru Tenshis army were that big huh?" Naruto asked.
"If they were so big how did we not see them coming?" Ino asked.
Itachi then spoke. "It wasn't that their army was big Ame, Taki, Kusa, & Oto were taken out a day before the five nations were, and for us not seeing them coming that is our own fault, had we stopped and actually taken the time too look around us instead of focusing on each other we would have noticed these things." He said
"He's right." Pein said
" ...yeah he is." Naruto said.
" ...... But what about that .....thing that attacked Konoha ....how did we not see that?" Ino asked.
Pein lifted a brow before he spoke. "What thing?"
Sai was the one too speak this time. "Before the Orchiru Tenshi came into the village, some sort of fire creature came in and took out a third of the village."
"A fire creature?" Hidan asked.
"It could nearly pass for a human although it had this long tail that was nothing but fire." Shikamaru said
"Really now?" Madara asked as he looked at Pein.
The victims mind will be isolated into another part of the brain where they will have no control over their body, or be able too see hear, feel, or even smell what's happening on the outside world. While the enforcer will hear the involuntary screams of the body and watch as the skin slowly burns away. Many that have executed the Souseiki Hifu have been said to say that the victims of its power have been known too sometimes have their eyes unconsciously opened during the performance, and that their bodies also literally scream in agony.

-Excuse me miss." A gentle voice said from behind the pink hair woman-child.
The large old leather bound book was all but slammed shut while Sakura jumped up onto her feet and quickly turned around, the back of her asymmetrical tan colored skirt swaying as she did so. Her hand quickly went flat against the middle of her chest where her heart was located.
"Oh sorry dear I did not mean too scare you like that." The older woman said.
Sakura shook her head. "It's quiet alright ma'am I was a bit too consumed in my readings. when I should have been listening to my surroundings." She said. The older woman smiled and Sakura then took her time too look her over.
She was at least in her early forties, long curly blonde hair, and sunkissed colored skin, honey eyes, she wore a yellow silk turtle neck dress ...like the kind that they used too were in the midevil times. Didn't surprise her much, with how the economy was and the Orchiru Tenshi wiping shinobi from the face of the earth people began too see that shinobis had been the best thing for the money businesses.
"Miss." The woman said
Sakura blinked again. "Yes." She replied carefully.
The woman smiled, and Sakura wanted to cry at that moment, the blonde even had the same smile as Tsunade. It was warm, caring, and very reserved for the lost soles in the world. The older woman walked over too the small table she'd been reading on.
"Interesting reading selection." She said as she picked up the heavy book from the table and into her arms. She turned, walking towards the bookshelf that Sakura had grabbed the book from.
"Are you an Orchiru Tenshi?" The woman asked as she slid the book into the shelf.
"No." Sakura said as she watched the woman wearily.
"Really now ....then tell me how is it you knew how too take off the lock that the book had on?" The book keeper asked.
Sakura looked back to the desk too see that the small black string that had been pretty much glued onto the book. "Your a shinobi aren't you?" The woman asked.
"I was a shinobi." Sakura said
"So my suspicions were correct then." The blonde said.
Sakura turned her head back around to look at the woman with a lifted brow. "You and the others you came with are the talk of the town, ever since the Orchiru Tenshi invasion the economy has become so bad too the point that people stopped traveling because passports cost too much, and because the travelers stopped coming, many businesses that depend on tourist closed down. And then nobody ever wins at the casinos twice in a row, especially a woman .......especially a woman with all kinds of money. So when you and the others came here, and you guys began too have people make you clothes, and pretty much by the Hotel for yourselves, and go grocery shopping nearly every hour of the day, it looks kinda suspicious .....so I figured you were either an Orchiru Tenshi or a shinobi." The woman explained.
"Oh." Sakura said as she followed the woman out of the book room and into a small room that was an office.
"Ever since the Orchiru Tenshi invaded, slowly people have been going broke, due to the fact that the shinobi population being annihilated. They were our clienteles, weather it was for pleasing them, cooking for them, rooming them, clothing them, or even healing them, we always depended on them for our businesses. And now all of them are gone." The woman said as she sat down in the chair behind the desk.
Sakura sighed she didn't know things were that bad. But then again she should of seen it coming, shinobi did bring in all of buissness all around the world.
"And now anyone who's ever used chakra, or has anything with chakra have these stupid bands on us from keeping us from using the chakra, or even the accessories." The woman said as she slid down her turtle neck too show her the black band on her neck.
"You have a chakra suppressor." Sakura said.
"Hai .....I used too heal a long time ago .....that's why I have so many healing books as you can tell, they placed those bands on them so no one can get into them." The woman said.
Sakura walked over to the woman and slid behind her. The band on her was just like the band on the book it was pretty much melted into her skin so that she couldn't tare it out without killing herself. Bringing her thigh up she leaned a bit and got a kunai out, the woman sucked in a breath. "Don't worry this will only hurt a bit." Sakura said before she lifted the woman hair and dug the blade into the smooth skin under the black line.
Hinata walked around the darkening dead village, she watched as all the children under fifteen ran to go back home, the underground village that had been made so long ago. She sighed ever since the Akatsuki showed up she and Kazuhiko had been seeing less and less of Naruto, no she couldn't be mad at him because he had the best reason for not spending time with them, but it was hard not too point out that he needed too make time for them as well. Yet she knew that he was trying his hardest too make time for them but the fact was he was really trying too get things going with the Akatsuki.
Well tonight was the meteor shower maybe her and Kazuhiko could make a wish on one of them so that when this war did come to an end, it would be there side that came up victorious. It wasn't hard too convince Naruto to allow Kazuhiko to watch the storm but, it was that look he'd given her that made her wish that Kazuhiko was older so she wouldn't constantly have too fight with her love.
She turned the corner and found herself walking towards her blue eyed partner, his blonde hair swayed in the gentle breeze, she could only wonder what he was thinking about. The way he just stood there staring out into the village gates.
"Naruto-kun." She said
He turned his head slightly to look at her and then he smile slightly before he turned fully and walked towards her. "Hey Hinata-chan." He said gently as he encased her in his arms.
"Wow somebody's lovable this evening." Hinata said as she poked him in the chest. Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Hey where's Kazu-kun?" He asked as he pulled back from her slightly.
"He's getting ready. I told him too meet me on the roof of the temple on the north side of the village." She said simply
"You left him alone?!" Naruto said slightly panicked.
Hinata pulled out of his embrace putting her hand on her hip and she poked her man with her pointer finger, pushing him just a bit. "Do not question my actions, I am the smarter one between us. and I am also his mother, I know if he's safe and if he's not so don't even try." She said.
Naruto sighed. "Fine, fine."He said
"Are you going to watch the meteor shower with us or would you like to be alone?" Hinata asked.
" ...... I'll be nearby." He said.
Hinata nodded her head before she turned around, she understood, and she wasn't bothered at all, this was his and Sakura thing, this was the one thing they always watched together. just like she and Sakura always used to fight on the water, and only Sakura and her did it together, she never shared the experience with anyone else, not even Naruto. Besides she had the blonde boy all to herself there was no reason to go all jealous over something so trivial.
Stopping in her tracks she turned back around and jumped onto him, her lips capturing his in a passionate chaste kiss, pulling back from him she watched as he broke out in a grin as he spoke. "Have I ever told you how much I love you?" He asked
She giggled "Have a nice time." She said before she once again turned and walked away.
Naruto watched as Hinata walked away from him, a small smile on his face, no matter how strict, and bossy she'd become he could never stop loving her, and he could never tell her that he missed the old, stuttering, shy girl he'd grown up with. There was no need to miss her, she was still with him, she just merely broke out of her shell, showing her true colors, and she deserved to, he wouldn't deny her what she wished because she never denied him anything. Not once did the woman ever say she didn't like the fact that at one time him and Sakura spent at the most ninety percent of their time together, and a good twenty percent alone.
Not once did she ever give him the impression that she was jealous, not once did she ever give him the impression that she was suspicious of what they were doing, he couldn't cheat on her, no not her, she was his everything, she was the only person that had ever noticed him when nobody else did, albeit, she had been extreamely shy back then, but the fact was, was that she noticed him. She went through the bravest pregnancy anyone could go through, she lived for him, breathed for him, did everything for him and Kazuhiko. Never would he ever allow himself to hurt her in any form or way, thus the reason why he listened to everything she said, he didn't care if everyone else thought he was whipped or whatever they wanted too call it, he could care less he loved her and would do anything for her, and she was the same way with him.
Sakuras bloody fingers went over bone that she had dug out of the book keepers neck, it was in the shape of the infinity sign. She once again felt around her thigh and pulled out a black lighter, she didn't know why she'd bought the thing, but she was glad she did, it was useful when she was wanting too use up all her chakra.
Her finger glowed blue and she switched the lighter on, putting it right up against the bone, watching as the bone began too darken to an ugly brown, it was only a minute later when the bone finally shatter into her hand, turning into soft white dust in her palm.
The blonde book keeper gasped, Sakura watched in fascination as the black material swiveled out of her skin and onto the floor like a snake until it finally just stopped, like it had dropped dead.
'It works ....... who would have thought.' She thought to herself.
'Those theifs.' Her inner said
Quickly she placed her fingers above the neck wound and began to heal it.
"So your a healer as well." The blonde said
" ....I was." Sakura replied softly
"I would ask who you are .......but seeing as you knew how too undo that thing, I'm guessing you were ...are pretty high on the food chain." The book keeper said
Sakura didn't reply, she didn't need too seeing as when she looked up from the ground she heard a jingle as the door opened and watched as Haku walked into the office. No matter how badly he looked so feminine he was still able too maintain some sort of masculinity. And the clothes he wore were the main things that gave way to his gender, he wore a khaki colored v-neck wife-beater, with a brown elbow length sweater, that didn't have any buttons or zippers too close it, and long black slacks, all in all, you could see that he was a man by the way he dressed.
"Oi you have too come see this." He said softly as he pulled her away from the book keeper
"Have a nice day." Sakura said as she was being dragged out, she could see the woman smirk.
"You know we've been looking for you everywhere." Haku said as he continued too drag the pink haired woman down the dirt road, that was filled with civilians.
"Gomen nasai I needed too do some research on some medical stuff." Sakura replied gently.
"Don't apologize to me, I could care less about what you've been up to, it's Tayuya who's the annoyed one, I know you can take care of yourself and all but I just get sick of hearing her continue too talk when she's pissed off at someone." Haku said as they walked up too the Hotel they'd been staying at for the last couple of months.
Sakura continued too allow herself too be dragged through the building until they made it too their sweet, upon walking into the room she went straight for the french doors that separated the living room and the bedroom.
"You know your looking a bit thin there ......have you been eating right?" Haku asked before she could open the doors.
Sakura bowed her head, of course she hadn't been eating right, she was busy doing research, always at the casinos, and she was taking care of their health, when did she have the time to actually take care of herself?
"Of course I've been eating right." She replied softly before she opened the doors and walked in, closing them behind her, locking them securely. sliding the gold curtains shut.
Slipping off her heels , she walked over the the armoir pulling out a black sweat pants and a black spaghetti strap camisole that was lined with lace, she then pulled out a matching black hoodie. pulling out a white towel she then reached behind her back undoing the bow she did to keep the top part of the dress together, she slid the one strap off and then slipped out of the skirt of the dress, wearing only panties and a bra she grabbed the towel and walked into the bathroom.
Pein and Madara walked down the darkening empty streets, making their way towards one of the three abandoned temples, with the rest of the Akatsuki and Hawk right behind them.
"How did we miss such vital information?" Madara asked.
"Is it possible that during the information gathering we merely dismissed the subject thinking we already heard it before or already knew it." Itachi said
"Still though, do you think the other villages were attacked the same way?" Madara asked
"It is possible." Sasuke said
"If so then the Orchiru Tenshis army is bigger than we thought." Sasori said
"Either way our questions will be answered." Madara said.
They walked up the steps of the temple and opened the doors walking into the darkened room. Sasuke began to do the signs for a fire jutsu and instantly he put his hand on the wall, lighting all the candles in the temple at once. Walking further into the room they found the Takusan lying on the floor feigning sleep.
" ......I smell dinner." Takusan said as they opened their eyes and licked their lips.
"Unfortunately Takusan-
"You are not my dinner I know, I know ........when will you feed me immortal?" Takusan asked Madara.
Madara looked to Sasori, said red head pulled out a scroll from his cloak, unrolling it, and then did the correct sign and in a puff of smoke three corpses laid on the ground. Takusan scoffed.
"Bribery eh? ..........hmmm I wonder what you want too know? ... could you be wanting to know about where I come from?" They asked.
"Takusan." Pein growled.
"Ah Rinnegan I did not see you there ......you seem smaller." Takusan said
"Takusan, you know what we wish to know so give us our answers." Pein said
Takusan pouted. "You all are no fun .... Enigma was funner then everyone in here out together." He said as he stood up too his full height which was a good eight feet and five inches.
" ..........I am merely a prototype. ..........there are at least twenty three more creatures, all of us are different." They continued.
"What do you mean by different?" Pein asked.
Takusan smiled showing his fangs, and his dark crimson eyes gleamed with amusement. "Well take you Akatsuki for instance you are all the same because you are all rogue-nin, and you are all human, but what makes you all different?" They asked
"We all come from different countries." Sasuke said.
Takusan nodded his head. "Exactly ....each creature was made for each country .....for instance the Kyubi told you about how the fire country had the fire creature Kouen-chan, she was made specifically the fire country." They explained
"Wait the fire creature was a girl?" Konan asked
"Yes she was a she ......each creature is a different gend-
"What are yo-
"I am neither, I am both." Takusan finished as their smile turned into a playful one.
"Sakura-san come look." Haku said as he barged into the now unlocked room, Sakura was sitting on the bed Indian style writing in a scroll. with books all around her, she looked up from her reading with tired eyes.
"Give me a second." She replied
Haku nodded and closed the french doors knowing she liked her privacy.
Sakura on the other hand did a few hand signs and watched as the black words she'd just writtened disappeared, rolling up the parchment she began to close the reast of the books, folding the corners of pages to not lose her place in the books. Sliding off the bed she grabbed her black hoodie and slipped it on zipping it up halfway, she then grabbed a rubberband and pulled her hair into a high ponytail.
Opening the french doors she was pulled by the arm and pulled out onto the balcony, she sky was a beauttiful dark purple and black, while the moon was bright soft orange, the stars were just as bright, and it was beautiful.
"It's a new moon." She said softly as she leaned on the balcony railing.
"You know what new moon stand for?" Haku asked
"A new beginning." Sakura answered.
"You think it's true?" He asked
" ...... I honestly don't know the answer to that."
twenty minutes later .........
Sakura stood on the balcony alone, staring out at the beautiful sky, the sparkling stars, the now pitch black sky, and the new moon, the pretty soft orange glow the sky was so gorgeous at the moment. She sighed were new moons truly the sign of new beginnings? She did not know, she'd seen many new moons, and never before was it a new beginning. She watched the sky with those thought in mind, and then suddenly something flew across the sky, and then there was another, and slowly another and more continued after that.
Shooting stars? No that was impossible, a meteor shower, that was possible. Sakura smiled had it been that long already, nearly four years since she made that promise with Naruto. This was their thing, this was her promise, she'd save this moment for him. She wondered if he was watching as well.
Naruto sat in the windowsill of the abandoned temple on the north side of the village, he could feel Kazuhiko and Hinatas chakra on top of his, they were sitting on the roof watching this beautiful sight. He sighed at least she was still alive. His sister, and his brother were survivors that's all he could be glad for at the moment.
Sakura smiled she knew he was watching he wouldn't forget a their thing, this beautiful experience, he never forgotten anything about her, and she was so happy.
Now you been holding me down
For such a long time now
From back then to now in my story
Straight from the hood
You've always been there for me
And you had my back when they
Back when everybody said I wasn't anything
It was you that kept me holding on
No matter what was going on
So whatever you need I got you
Naruto
Sakura may not have been there for him from the start but she was after they became a family, and she was always helping him even though she favored Sasuke more she was always there for him. Like Hinata she never asked for anything in return she was just a faithful friend, a sister that he'd never had, and no matter what he'd always have her back.
Sakura
Now my loyalty will always be
With you if you just promise me
That you'll stay real just like you are
Cuz baby you don't have to change no...
You dont know how much you mean to me
Whenever your down you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, boy I'm gon' hold you down
Naruto
Nobody truly understood why he was so protective of them but he wasn't going to explain, it was merely a waist of time, he allowed people to think he was cheating on Hinata because she and Sakura knew the truth. Besides he stopped seeing Sakura like that long ago, he highly doubted that she even had feelings like that for him now, especially since everything happened.
Sakura
So remember this whenever I call
We go back too far, we been through it all
Even though, we haven't spoken so long
Ain't nothing change, not a damn thing baby
Naruto
Nothing could or would ever tear him and Sakura apart, if anything ever tried to again he'd destroy the threat, he wouldn't allow her to be taking away like that ever again. No not when he finally got her back, he knew she was the same, he could feel it. She put on a tough act still but she was still the same old Sakura underneath it.
Sakura
So I don't care about the situation
I'ma ride for you
If there's a complication
Cuz everytime you had my back and all
When we were young
Now my loyalty will always be
With you if you just promise me
That you'll stay real just like you are
Cuz baby you don't have to change
You dont know how much you mean to me
Whenever your down you know that you can lean on me
No matter the situation, boy I'm gon' hold you down
Haku leaned against the frame of the french doors that separated the balcony and the living room, listening to Sakura sing, he could only wonder how much deeper her and Narutos friendship went. He knew it wasn't an intimate friendship, anybody could tell that, but it seemed so much more than just friends. He was envious of Naruto though, the blonde probably didn't notice how great he really had it, he was strong, he had people willing too break their backs for him, he had friends, a son, a lover, and most of all ....... he had Sakura.
Over the time they'd been together he'd come too see that if it was up to her, she would have ditched all of them, but Naruto had asked her too take them so she did, if he asked her too kill for him she would, if he asked her to rip her own heart out she would. Supposedly she wasn't involved with him intimately, although it just proved that she was truly a good person too stay beside him the way she did.
Envy was a feeling he wasn't afraid to admit he felt, he'd just be making it worse on himself. He turned away from the sight of Sakura and walked to the front door of the small apartment.
Opening the door, he shut it behind him there was no need to lock it, they basically owned the hotel. Walking down the hall he, he counted the doors.
512
513
514
515
516
517
He stopped when he saw room five eighteen , knocking on it, he heard shuffling as the person moved around the room, the door opened the reveal an angry Tauyuya wearing nothing more than a black bra and matching panties.
"What?!" She snapped
"I need a fix." Haku said as he leaned against the door frame.
She looked at him for a little while with an unreadable twinkle in her eyes. "Come on in." She said as she opened the door further allowing him to enter the small suit she occupied. She closed the door behind them and walked over to the french doors that lead to the bedroom. Opening them she went to the nightstand next to the bed and opened it pulling out small thin leather case.
She sat on the bed and motioned for him to do the same, while unzipping the case. "I've been meaning to try these, supposedly they had Sakura on them when they had us locked up, supposedly there amazing." She said as she pulled out two syringes one for her and one for him.
He laid down on the mattress, and she leaned down grabbing his arm, he could feel the liquid burn into his body and he twitched at the feeling he'd been trying many things lately with the salmon haired woman, but never did any of the things they did have a feeling like this. "What the hell is that." He said through gritted teeth.
"Don't know but they had been pumping it into Sakura for three years and it never once killed her so don't worry." Tayuya said as she sat up straight and grabbed the next syringe. she sat against the head board and pushed the needle into her skin, into her vein, pushing down onto the syringe itself, she hissed in pain at the burning sensation she felt when the liquid entered her system.
Haku turned onto his side and watched as she pulled out the needle and threw it in the can next to the bed. Slowly everything began to brighten, began to melt. He blinked and his eyes widened a bit as he looked at Tayuya. She looked like an absolute angel at the moment.
The orange glow from the moon basked the room in a candlelight glow. Her ivory colored skin was now a soft light orange hue, her eyes were a light glowing orange as well, and her hair was orange too. But that wasn't the best part it was her glowing white ethereal wings that caused her too look amazing. He leaned forward and captured her lips, he groaned, he could feel every single piece of soft skin that made up her lips, his hand flew to her thigh rubbing the skin, and he swore this was the best thing in the world he could feel every small pore, every piece of skin. Grabbing a fistful of hair he slid her down beneath him and began to undo her bra.
Pein threw a dead boar at Takusan as he reentered the temple.
"Can't you bring one back fresh, they don't taste as good when their already dead." Takusan said
"Eat." Pein said as he leaned against one of the walls. he closed his eyes and tried to relax as he leaned his head against the wall.
Takusan took a bite out of the boar, and immediately spit it out. "At least you could've played cat & mouse with it, when the adrenaline has kicked in it makes the blood warm and it taste so much better." They said
"That's nice to know." Pein replied
Takusan put down the boar and stared at Pein. "Eh, Rinnegan you seem a bit moodier than lately, are you sad because you haven't been given a chance to be alone with the woman you find tempting?" Takusan asked
"Quiet." Pein said
"Ah so it is a woman .... what does she look like?" Takusan asked
Pein opened an eye before he closed it. "I thought you knew what type of women I liked." He said
"I do but type is different from looks, you may like a certain type of woman, but not all woman that have the same persona look alike." Takusan explained
Pein opened his eyes again to look at "Why are you so interested?" He asked
"Your the only person that I can hold my blood lust back for, I might as well use it too my advantage, besides being surrounded by alien places, and alien people, a conversation could do me some good, in this hostile situation." Takusan explained
Pein sighed. "It wont matter if she's my type, or what she looks like, with the Kyubi as protective as he is, I'd never even have a chance to have a simple conversation with her, besides there's a chance she might not come back at all." Pein said
He could see Takusan ears twitch a bit before they spoke. "She's gone?" He asked
Pein nodded his head. "Pity I would have loved to have meet her, she seems like someone I would like." Takusan said
"And I would have loved too shake Enigmas hand." Pein replied
"You & I both .....You'd love her Rinnegan she was amazing the way she got me. It wasn't a fancy move or a beautiful jutsu it was simple, but the way she had done it amazed me." Takusan said
"You sound like your in love." Pein said
"And you'd know this how?" Takusan asked as he smirked at Pein
Pein glared at the creature. "Don't worry Rinnegan your secret is safe with me, just as long as you play cat and mouse before you bring my dinner." Takusan said as he waved him off.
Pein nodded, it was odd the relationship he held with the dangerous blood thirsty creature and yet he couldn't stop himself from breaking the bond that he was slowly creating with Takusan. He watched as the shapeshifter tore apart the boar he had captured for him-her, it.
Still though he hated the fact that he could be read by the shapeshifter, he was envious of enigma, to have the ability not to be read like an open book when around the creature, it must of been great. To be able not to be attacked by the creature due to some unusual attraction was a blessing. The woman must have been something in order to catch the shapeshifters attention.
"Sakura-san." A soft male voice said from behind the pink haired woman that leaned against the balcony rails.
She turned around to find Kimimaro leaning against the door frame. "Hai?" She asked
"What are you doing here?" He asked gently
She knew one of them was gonna ask it but she never thought he'd be the one. He began to speak again. "And please don't tell me your here to train, because if you were then you'd be out there instead of locking yourself away in here with all those books." Kimimaro continued.
"That's the same question I ask myself everyday." Sakura said absent mindlessly
"If you can't find an answer to the question then you shouldn't be here at all."
"It's not that I can't fond an answer it's just that I can't depen on an answer I like." Sakura said as she turned back around leaning against the rails and looking out at the now calm & clear sky.
"Cannot decide ...From what I've seen personally you do not have a split personality." Kimimaro said.
"It's cause I don't." Sakura replied stiffly.
" ....... Ah an inner persona ...correct?" Kimimaro asked
"Am I that easy to read?" Sakura asked back.
"No if you can't make a decision clearly & you don't have a split personality, then you have to have an inner personality."
"Well aint you a smart male." Sakura said sarcastically.
"Have you ever considered combining yourself with her?" Kimimaro asked
"There is no such thing as combining with your inner, you are already one person." Sakura replied
"At least to your understandings right?"
Sakura turned her neck slightly to look at him with a lifted brow. Kimimaro waved a hand in the air. "Orochimarus favorite jutsus were those that were categorized as forbidden, & since I was at one time his prized carcass, I had the privilege of seeing his book or shall I say books of forbidden jutsus. And during this time I actually wanted too help Jugo, but after I died he automatically went to the Uchiha. In doing so he forgot about me ... The knowledge of the jutsu has been useless until now." Kimimaro continued.
"Orochimarus jutsus always have a catch, or at least some kind of sacrifice." Sakura said as she turned her head back to the orange glowing moon.
Kimimaro nodded his head once before he spoke again. "For once Orochimaru created something that works without a sacrifice of people. The catch though is that the stronger person will be the once too live. You see by becoming one means that the stronger one will dominate all thought while the other piece of you will become the barrier for your mind. Ann inner personality is merely a conscious that speaks more that it needs too. Usually it's development is caused when a person has no one too speak to."
"So I'm just losing myself." Sakura said mostly to herself.
" ...... Well in short yes ... but your also gaining a barrier to your mind, nothing & no one can enter it."Kimimaro said
"Ah forgive me, not only would I be losing myself but I'll also be gaining a mind barrier.: Sakura said sourly.
"Think of it this way. Someday there will come a time when you'll have too make a decision. Kill the enemy or allow him to live. Now in such a situation you'll have to of course make the proper choice. You can't allow yourself too have a second opinion when lives are at stake, unless you know for a fact that there is a benefit to it. If you kill them it's the end too all the problems they've caused ... If you allow them too live, they'll come back, & you'll have to be prepared cause you can bet on every kami known to man that they'll be hell of a lot stronger than they were before ... and that they know & remembered every strength & weakness you have."
"Kill or be killed, no thinking just do it." Sakura whispered.
"Exactly & with a mind like yours such a situation could be dangerous for you .. for everyone."
"I am a danger ...aint I?" Sakura asked.
"Think about & when your ready to be able to make choices without her second opinions, you know where to find me."
With that Kimimaro turned away from her & left. Leaving Sakura & her inner alone.
'He's right you know.'
'Please he's just jealous he was put in a cell by his own family, not even his own conscious wanted to talk with his pitiful self.'
'No we're- I am the pitiful one compared to the situation he was in I should have been able to keep a steady mind. Because I didn't proves just how weak I really am.'
'It proves that you were lonely, not weak, Had Kakashi, Sasuke, & Naruto gave you the attention you deserved, you wouldn't be in this position. Perhaps then we would have been trained properly. It was their fault we became this way, not our own.'
'No it wasn't, it was my fault. I was the weak one, I should have nagged at Kakashi more to train me. I should have stopped my crying & pulled out a kunai too stop Sasuke from leaving.'
'You're not seriously thinking about this are you?'
'Back then had are minds been like this we would have been taken off duty and be placed in the loony bin.'
'Oh you traitor, I can't believe your turning on me, we're strong, just because some person thinks our minds need too be likes there's doesn't mean we're sick!"
'But we are!"
"Ryuu." A dark voice said from the large wall of fire that was in front of him.
"Yes my lord."
"I've been told by your wife & mistress that Toshiko is alive .... that they have seen it through the girl you possessed." The voice said.
"I haven't looked in on her, so I wouldn't exactly know." Ryuu replied stifly.
"Found out, And if it's true, track her down, kill her, & kill the escapees, keep the girl though her capture could bring out the surving shinobis, & from what I've been told by those women of yours she's got quiet a value on her little body with those fools." The voice said
"As you wish my lord." Ryuu said
Do not say it
Don't I already know
I just got writers block & I got over it on this story so please be nice to me I didn't mean too do this too you all. Sometimes these things happen, it's not like I planned it or anything.
Okay for the singing part I know it was lame, but I had writers block at the time so when I heard this song (Hold Me Down - Jennifer Lopez ft. Fat joe.) I just had to put it in because it is like the perfect song for them.
Oh yeah Souseiki Hifu = Skin Genesis & Kouen = Flame...... If I missed anything feel free too ask.
