Early the next morning Vetis screams could be heard through out all of Konoha while Naruto began lose control. 'Damn it all.' thought Verlet angrily. Things couldn't just stay calm for one bit could they? Itachi was having a hard time keeping her calm but no matter how much he tried she continued to yell.
"Verlet-sama!" he yelled and in an instant she was there.
"I know, Gaara, Kakette go and get Naruto."
"Ummm, Katana kind of left already. She kept us here and said that she was still in charge of us."
"Shi matta, stupid baka. Go get here under control and get them both here asp."
"Done."
"Itachi, go to the hokage's and..."
"Umm, I can't go alone."
"Damn it all, fine." Verlet said before turning to her window and poofing the first shinobi she saw into the room. Once the smoke cleared it revealed an annoyed Hyuuga.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"Name?"
"You summoned me." he countered while moving into a defensive stance.
"Verlet remember?"
"Oh yes, Verlet-chan what can I?"
"Call the hokage here, tell her we need her medic skills."
"Yes." and with that he disappeared. Just as he was leaving Sasuke walked in, it was his duty to watch over them and as hard as it was for him not to attack Itachi he couldn't help but think it. However it was the sight he came to that caused him to stop in his tracks. Itachi was not only holding someone in his arms gently but had a concerned look on his face as well. He was about to ask what was going on when Verlet spoke.
"Vetis is injured. Call Sakura,"
"Hai." was his only response before glaring at his brother then disappearing. Although the hokage had explained to him the reason behind the massacre and his joining the akatsuki he was still mad as hell. Mean while all the three could do was wait for the rest of the pack to arrive.
"Naruto! Stop!" yelled Katana frustrated with the fact that the kyuubi in him was too round up to even listen.
"No...get..." but he couldn't speak, the amount of chakra that was escaping, that was taking over was simply too much for the young boy.
"Should we call leader-sama?"
"No, I can handle this." she growled out, wanting nothing more than to restore her best friend to her rightful state. She was about to attack the kyuubi when out of no where sand contained him in a large coffin of sand and Kakette's voice was heard.
"You were taking too long. Gaara?"
"Ready."
"Feh, I had him."
"What ever, lets go." and with that the group left. All the while the village was in a stir and the shinobi of he village left to handle it. Naruto's and Vetis screams could be heard, they shook the entire mountain side and as much as Naruto tried he simply couldn't control the nine tail in him. Soon all the ninja had transported into an underground lair, a secret hall where they would be able to treat the two ninja and not alarm the village any further.
"Now what?"
"Itachi set her down and brace your self. The seal is about to..." but before Verlet could finish her warning the seal Itachi had started to flare, it was burning him and his entire insides. It was then that he knew why his love was screaming to no end.
"Gaara when I tell you let him go and stand back. Kakette, Katana protect the 5th hokage and her assistant. Riku, hold Sasuke back." she instructed as she her self began to gather chakra on her palms and soon her body. The room grew tense for a moment, for several moments before Itachi was on the floor beside Vetis and everyone's nerves got on end.
'Leader-sama?' the kyuubi called out, hoping that this wasn't a dream.
'Yes, hold on. Just calm down.' she instructed while everyones eyes widened. Verlet had not even touched the ninja when Naruto suddenly calmed down and was able to suppress his chakra.
'Good.' "Okay everyone this is it. No matter what don't come any where near me. Nine tail pack stand your ground." she addressed causing the entire pack except for Itachi and Vetis to stand and place an amber barrier around the three ninja who were currently indispose. Verlet then shut her eyes and began to let go. This would be the first time she allowed the demon in her to completely take control since she was first told what she was. Her form once again changed to resemble the demon in her as she wickedly look around.
"Well well what do we have here? A party?"
"Leader-sama" she heard as Vetis weakly called out to her. Quickly her gaze turned to the young girl as her child like taunting went to a serious one. She hated to watch her pack member's hurt or in pain.
"It's okay. Kyuubi?" she called out causing the young boys head to nod. "Huh good. There's just one catch kyuubi and you know what it is. Ready?" she questioned only to watch as the boys head nodded vigorously.
"Fine. Demon style: transfer soul jutsu." she said softly only to watch as the nine tails red chakra ran into her body only to flow completely into Vetis. Immediately Vetis and Itachi's body stopped their shaking as their faces calmed; however as soon as it was done Naruto went into a high fervor.
"Katana, Riku take these two back and await Verlet for further instructions. Oh and release the hokage, Naruto needs healing." was all the demoness said as she turned to the young Uchiha, knowing he was about to speak.
"What the hell are you?" whispered Sasuke only to be met face to face with and intrigued demoness. Her eyes searched his and quickly found pain and sorrow. Upon smiling Sasuke grew angry but was quickly held back by Sakura.
"Do you need healing."
"No, not I but I believe..." but before she could finish her sentence the body fell to the floor, shifting back into it's original form and revealing a fever covered Verlet. It had been so long since she had allowed the demon to take control and to feel that amount of chakra flowing through her. Immediately Sakura began while the 5th hokage and Shizune began their work on Naruto. Once done Kakette took hold of her leader and bowed in respect before leaving Gaara to explain what had just occurred to not only the hokage but to the rest of the ninja who had experienced Naruto's "freedom".
After several hours Naruto was finally awake and confused to find that the seal that had once held the nine tail fox in it's cage was gone? In an instant he was up and about to yell at the world when he heard the toad sage voice.
"The demon is gone but the power still there. That girl, she took it from you."
"Pervy sage? What's going on?"
"Just relax will ya kid. The hokage will be here in a moment. She's looking over the others."
"Feh, what ever." Were his last words before he lay back down and fell back into his sleep. His body was tired, sore due to the amount of chakra he had released. Meanwhile Vetis and Itachi began to slowly wake. Katana was immediately by their side while the hokage of the village began to heal their sore muscles and any cuts they may have received. Vetis sighed upon being healed, she felt whole again and Itachi, she could feel his chakra sore. His speed, his strength had increased ten fold.
"Itachi?"
"Hn."
"Vetis! Your okay! I'm so glad!"
"Thanks Katana, for everything and thank you lady hokage for healing my wounds."
"No problem. Itachi you have gained the forgiveness of your village but will no longer be allowed to remain un accompanied." she spoke while watching him nod only for the rest of the room to go wide eyed. Sasuke was about to strike Itachi with a kunai when out of no where Vetis poofed and used her new, true chakra to it's max. The room was tense and the fact that she had moved in less than a blink of an eye was incredible.
"Now listen her little one, you will not attack any member of this pack and that includes my husband." she hissed before throwing him to the floor. Sasuke was fuming with anger and though as much as he wanted to he couldn't attack his brother, he couldn't kill him. 'At least not when they're around.' he thought evilly only to be met by her voice.
'My pack members will never be alone. Do you refuse to let go of the past this much Sasuke Uchiha?'
'You?! What the?'
'Enough, I will help heal this wound in you're heart.'
and with that Sasuke fell to the floor causing everyone to look at Vetis while the hokage quickly moved to heal the young boy.
"Don't look at me, I didn't do it. And sorry Itachi but I wasn't going to let him hurt you."
"Hn." was his only response before taking his spot by her side.
"Well looks like our leader is going to heal this one lady hokage." came Kakette's taunting voice.
"What?" everyone except for Gaara questioned.
"Leader-sama is going to attempt on healing the wound in his heart that Itachi caused so many years ago. She along with the boy will wake noon three days from now. Well the boy will. Oh and leader says that one, Vetis you and Itachi are to start training with the new chakra you just received, two, Katana and Riku you guys are to help them. Riku against Itachi and Vetis against Katana in a spar." she smiled before taking a bite out of a small strawberry causing Katana to take it from her.
"But what about you and Gaara?"
"Oh, that and that wasn't nice Katana-senpai!" she called before continuing but Katana simply stuck her tongue out at the young girl. "And I am to study under Sakura, Shizune and the hokage to enhance my medical jutsus." she smiled contently. Upon hearing such things the hokage nodded before instructing her to meet her at the hospital tomorrow morning to start then heading for Naruto. Who as well needed healing of his own.
