Normal Monologue Thoughts Kyubbi

Previously…

"Well, we need to get going to the village and get Tazuna home. Naruto, you'll be interrogated in more depth later." Kakashi told him moving forward.

That was a close one! Naruto thought.

T
hat wasn't going to be the last time they saw Zabuza and Haku and Naruto had one of those deep down, gut feelings that he would regret letting Itachi let them go.

Naruto kept on walking keeping pretty much to himself except for the comments on Sasuke's story of how Naruto was in trouble. They finally arrived in the Land of Waves by mid-afternoon.

"Well, this is my home!" Tazuna told them walking towards a stone, two story house that had smoke billowing from the chimney. Tazuna walked up to the door and pushed it open. They were all greeted by a small boy with black hair and an angry countenance and a girl with black hair and a smile pasted on her face.

"Grandpa!" The little boy exclaimed rushing into Tazuna's arms.

"Inari!" Tazuna exclaimed hugging him back.

Sakura looked at Naruto and smiled. She still couldn't get over how strong and hot he was.

"Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. This is my daughter, Tsunami, and her son, Inari." Tazuna said.

Naruto gave Tazuna a bored expression and then began to look at the ceiling.

"Hello." Kakashi said.

"Supper is almost ready if you all would like to join us?" Tsunami offered.

Everyone except for Naruto nodded.

"I'm going to go train." He said and then swiftly left the house and ran through the trees.

"Do you think that was a good idea Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke asked.

"Can't really stop him now can I?" He asked.

Sasuke sneaked past Kakashi and Sakura and followed Naruto through the trees. He hid when Naruto stopped in the middle of a clearing.

"Naruto, I won't come out from behind this tree because someone is following you." A male voice said.

"What did you need me to do, master?" Naruto asked.

"First, get Kakashi Hatake out of the way. He has become a nuisance to our cause. Next, stay detached. Don't talk to anyone." The voice said.

"If I want to trick them though I should try to be friends with my team. It will be easier to manipulate them the way I want to if they think I am with them." Naruto replied.

"No." The voice said.

Naruto bowed and then began to punch the surrounding trees. Someone came up behind Sasuke and knocked him out.

*************************************************************

"Sasuke, are you okay?" He heard Kakashi asked.

Sasuke blinked his eyes open and sat up. "Kakashi-sensei! Naruto is faking being on our side! He was talking to someone and saying that they wanted to get rid of you!" Sasuke yelled.

"Calm down, Sasuke. No one is after me and we're all safe." Kakashi said.

"It was probably a nightmare." Naruto jeered.

"It was not!" Sasuke yelled.

"Ssshhh!!!" Sakura shushed. "Inari is finally asleep."

"I was training the whole time. Anyway, who would I talk to that would want to kill Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked acting innocent.

"My brother!" Sasuke yelled.

"Shut up Sasuke! You probably had a bad dream and thought you saw your brother." Sakura said in a harsh whisper.

Naruto plopped down into a chair and just stared into space.

"Get some rest Sasuke. We'll talk about it in the morning." Kakashi said pushing Sasuke onto the pillow.

The Next Day at Tazuna's House

"Naruto, I told you that we would have to talk about your past. Today is the day." Kakashi said.

"Can we do it while you teach me something?" Naruto asked reluctantly.

"All depends on what you want to learn." Kakashi told him.

"I never learned how to walk up a tree or how to walk on water." Naruto said.

"We'll try." Kakashi said.

They walked through the forest to a clearing. Kakashi told Naruto how to do those things and they practiced and talked for hours.

Don't get close to anyone! Naruto heard a voice in his head say.

"Hey Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked walking across a small pond.

"What?" Kakashi asked.

"Have you ever had to listen to someone and not wanted to?" He asked walking back over.

"I don't know. Why do you want to know?" Kakashi asked.

"No particular reason. Thanks for teaching me Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said.

"Let's get back to the house. Tazuna said Tsunami was making chicken for lunch." Kakashi said.

Tazuna's House-Mid afternoon

"Where do you want this!" Naruto asked waving a dirty piece of cloth that had been one the ground.

"In the shed!" Came Tsunami.

Naruto walked into the shed and put the cloth on a shelf. He felt something change and grabbed out a kunai.

"Put that down." Itachi said.

Naruto put it into his pouch and turned to see Itachi behind him. He bowed.

Itachi grabbed him around the neck and threw him against the wall. "What do you think you were doing today!" He yelled.

"What do you mean?!" Naruto asked frantically standing up. Naruto hadn't seen Itachi this way but once, the day Kisame almost died.

"I mean getting so close to Kakashi! I told you to stay away from everyone! Is this mission to tough for you?!" Itachi asked walking over and pinning Naruto to the wall by his neck.

"I-I promise I'll do better." Naruto replied gasping for air.

"Promising mean nothing without action. You promised before this mission came that you would never let old ties stand in the way." Itachi said pushing Naruto into the wall again.

"E-e-everyone will h-hear you." Naruto gasped.

"I don't care. I'll have people come to watch you. If you slip up one more time, well, let's just say you won't have trouble with anything except for breathing." Itachi threatened and then left.

Naruto gasped sagging against the wall of the shed. Blood was sliding from the back of his head where Itachi had banged it.

"Naruto, I heard voices and came to…Oh my gosh! Are you alright?! Who did this to you?!" Sakura asked frantically running over.

"Help..me." Naruto gasped.

Sakura brought Naruto's arm around her and helped him walk to the house. "Kakashi-sensei! Naruto's hurt!" Sakura called through the house laying Naruto on the couch.

Kakashi and Sasuke ran in and stared on Naruto.

He was still having trouble breathing and hoped Itachi hadn't broken any rib bones.

"What happened to him?!" Kakashi asked walking over.

"I don't know. I found him slumped against the wall in the shed." Sakura replied.

"Go get me two wet clothes and Tsunami in here." Kakashi said kneeling next to Naruto. "Who did this to you?"

"Ita…chi." Naruto gasped.

I can help you. I will heal you and help you become strong enough to beat Itachi and anyone else that dare stand in your way.

"Tired. Need sleep." Naruto whispered, his eyes drooping.

"Naruto, you can't. You could die if you sleep." Kakashi said.

"The voice…heals. I'll…be..fine." Naruto whispered and fell asleep.
