Chapter Ten; The Seal is Broken
Sakura grabbed Naruto by the ear and dragged him a crossed the yard. "Ouch! Hey!" he yelled. "Come on Sakura what gives!?" he yelled as she glared at him and then quickly let him go. "Listen Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei care more about you than you'll ever possibly understand!" she snapped. "You need to talk to them." She told him. "Yeah right, Sasuke's nothing more than a rotten little bastard!" he exclaimed. "Fine, don't listen to me about Sasuke, but you just have got to listen to me about Kakashi." She said. "Fine, when he wants to talk to me I'll sit right down here and listen." He told her as he folded his arms and sat down Indian style.
Sakura rolled her eyes and was about to tell him to get up when suddenly Kakashi placed his hands upon her shoulders. "Don't worry Sakura, I'll take it from here." He told her as he looked down at Naruto. "Naruto, please get up. I really am sorry alright? I never meant to hurt you." He told him. "Well, do you really mean it?" he asked him. "If I didn't don't you think that I would be turning my back on you right now just like the other villagers?" he questioned as Naruto slowly got up to his feet.
"Well, you do have a point there." He said. "Alright, I forgive you, and I'm sorry too." Naruto told him as he heaved a heavy sigh and hung his head before rocking back and forth on his feet. "So I guess this means that you're going to terminate our relationship now huh?" he questioned. "Wow terminate, that's a new word for you Naruto." Sasuke said while Sakura just simply rolled her eyes at him.
"Pay no attention to him Naruto, your father will always love you no matter what you do right?" she questioned him as Kakashi nodded. "That's right." He said as Naruto simply sighed and hung his head. "I wish everyone felt that way." He said before he slowly started to walk away. "Well, aren't you going to tell him?" Sakura asked as she folded her arms and glared at Sasuke. "No." he answered simply before he started to follow Naruto.
We'll be right back after this special news bulletin,..
"Hello everyone it's Naruto Uzumaki here, or as I'm known in this story, Naruto Uzumaki Hatake. And first off I just want to say that I'm sorry for the delay, and thank you to all the viewers out there who continue to read, review, favorite, and follow this story. You guys rock, and you better believe it! Anyway besides the sequel for this story when it's all finished we have a couple more Naruto stories on the way, including an all new Halloween one. Why don't you tell them all about it Sakura?" he questioned. "Sure I will, first of all the Halloween one will be written side by side with this one, and it will be called the Ninja Paranormal Association, or as it is referred to a lot in the story, the NPA. It's sort of like a Ghost Busters parody.
And the reason that it'll be written side by side with this one is because we want to give it to you just in time for Halloween. Although, I don't really understand how Naruto becomes a paranormal investigator when he's basically afraid of his own shadow." She said. "Well that's easy," Naruto began as he started to tremble with fright and gulped. "It's the same reason that Scooby and Shaggy are a part of Mystery Inc., they were forced into it." He said. "Anyway,.." Sakura sighed with a roll of her eyes. "the other Naruto adventure that will be coming soon is the Little Ninja, and that is a Honey, I Shrunk the Kids spoof." She explained.
"Gee, I wonder whose fault it'll be that we'll get shrunk." Sasuke said as he shot a glare over at Naruto who just chuckled nervously gulped. "Well I think that pretty much wraps up the news, somewhere along the line there will be All Ninjas Go to Heaven, but I don't think that'll be for a while yet." Sakura said. "So enjoy the rest of the story everyone!" she exclaimed. "And now we return you to our regularly scheduled programming!" Naruto cried.
And Now Back to the Show!
Naruto couldn't believe how difficult it was to get a simple bell from his own father, when he had lost count how many times over the years that he had taken something from him without him even realizing it. Whether it had been his keys, his cellphone, or a sweet like a cookie. "Damn it! I knew that he would have to grow eyes in the back of his head sooner or later." He muttered to himself. "Come on Naruto think out of the box." Sasuke told him. "And why should I listen to anything you say?" he questioned.
"Because like it or not we're teammates now, and that means we have to put our differences aside if we're going to complete this mission." Sasuke told him. "Well then I guess that means we're screwed." Naruto said. "Please Naruto, I'm sorry alright!? There are you happy now!?" Sasuke yelled. "No, because unlike almost everything else I don't believe it!" he snapped with a shake of his head. "Do you want to eat lunch or not!?" Sasuke shouted back at him when he suddenly realized that something was very different about his friend.
"Grr,.." Naruto growled as the lines upon his face started to stretch and the nails on his hands stretched into claws, his teeth turned into pointed fangs and a powerful red smoke started to encircle him. "What's happening to him?" Sasuke wondered to himself as Kakashi stopped what he was doing when he realized what was going on. "Oh no." he said to himself as the sign of the Nine-Tailed Fox appeared over Naruto as his eyes shot open becoming a glowing evil red. "The seal has been broken!" Kakashi exclaimed. "Grr,.. SASUKE!" Naruto cried as he crouched down on all fours and charged towards him.
