I woke up groggy after my forced "sleep". The first thing I noticed was the people around my bed and that I felt a lot better. I saw the Inuzukas, Naruto, Konohamaru, Kakashi, my team, Iruka, Tsunade, Jiraiya and my pack. I could understand my pack but since my three week stay with T&I, I was having problems believing that these people cared about me. I was having problems thinking of why they were here period because my mind was fried. So much had happened in such a short amount of time that I had accepted stuff mentally but hadn't ACCEPTED it. I still looked out the corner of me eye expecting to see Sarutobi. My fight against Orochimaru, I should tell them about Shodaime and Nidaime and Yodaime.
I looked at Tsunade and said, "Do you know what went on with the fight against the snake bastard, Orochimaru? There is a few things that only I can tell and that you need to know.". Tsunade nodded and I continued, "Orochimarut did a Resurrection jutsu that brought back the souls of Shodaime, Nidaime and Yodaime into the three dead sound genin. Sarutobi and I was able to stop Yodaime's Resurrection but not Shodaime and Nidaime. I fought against the two and activated my gekkai kenkai. I copied their techniques before Sarutobi used the jutsu that Yodaime used against Kyuubi when he died. The jutsu seals the soul of the opponent in the 'belly of death' of the shirigami in exchange for the caster's life. The sealed and the sealer are to be locked in eternal combat for the rest of eternity. The clones of Sarutobi used the jutsu against Shodaime and Nidaime and Sarutobi used the jutsu against Orochimaru. Sarutobi's life was fading fast and I knew that he couldn't hold the jutsu so I gave him some of my life force so that he could take Orochimaru's hands with him. He died with a smile on his face and passed on Enma to me. I copied the entire battle then in the rage of my grief, I entered the 'pissed off' stage of my rage and my instincts took over. My memory is a little fuzzy here and I know I killed many of the enemy. I believe that they started to call me, 'The Wildcat of Konoha' and there was a flee on sight for me. After that I went to where team 7 was and helped. Kakashi found me two hours later and on the way back, we came across ANBU. I went to the council and that is where I was declared a traitor and Ibiki was to torture me so that I admitted that I was a traitor, betrayed this village and for information I might know. Three weeks later to the present and here we are.". I looked down at the floor not wanting to look anyone in the eye in which I murmured aloud without meaning to, "I was alone for so long and I met some people from here and I was happy, truly happy for the first time in my life. It seems like fate won't allow me that.". Possibly a few of them heard me but I didn't stay and listen to what they would say, I dashed over to the window and jumped out. I wanted to cry for those I had lost and the cruel hand fate had dealt me but I just didn't seem able. I dashed to the Hokage monument to stop and calm down before I did anything drastic.
I was hopping from one rooftop to another when I saw Sasuke, he was walking alone on one side of the village. I smirked remembering the whole, just left me there after I collapsed, incident. I landed just behind him when I pulled my foot back and . . .
I screamed out, "Fuck you Uchiha, for leaving me there after I collasped!" and kicked his ass. We were on one side of the village oppisite the gates and I sent him flying to just past the gates on the other side. Once I saw that he was good and off, and would have a painful landing, I smiled gleefully before continueing on.
I spent the remaider of the day till the sun set sitting on top of the fourth's head staring at the clouds as many thoughts flashed through my mind. I don't expect the villagers to welcome me with open arms but I hope I don't get driven out. I sighed at my depressing thought and hoped onto the third's head. I'm sorry that I couldn't save you but may you rest in peace. I sighed again and hopped down to the village.
The villagers gave me cold glares, harsh indifference and just seemed to treat me as a monster. I knew after my performance during the attack might have scared them but they must think I'm a traitor. They raised prices for me and I didn't even bother to argue. I just accepted it in hopes that it would just GO AWAY. I didn't think that they would ever welcome me with smiles and kindness but I don't want . . . This. I walked over to my home and saw that villagers were glaring at me harder when I came closer to my home. I saw Tsume and Hana with frowns on their faces in front of my room. I walked up behind them, "They wrecked my room, didn't they? I was expecting it eventually.". They looked startled for a moment and I sighed, "I fear that their displeasure at my residing here will just get worse so I'll leave till it settles down. Hana, can you look after my pack for me? They may take it out on them since they are associated with me and they have a chance at succeeding at actually hurting them.". Hana nodded in understanding and I walked into my wrecked room. I had never decorated it with a lot, most of my prized possessions were in my backpack so they didn't have a chance to wreck anything important. I looked at the futon is shreds and the paint on the walls saying, Leave or else . . .
I walk over to a corner in my room and slide a hidden panel open for my backpack. I heft it on my shoulders and go looking for a comfortable spot in a tree on the borders of the village. I was fine to a point and I owe the villagers the least by helping them rebuild. There was still some heavy lifting to be done but it was mostly done to a point. Houses had been destroyed and they would take a little longer. All I had to do was check on Iruka first and see if he wants any help with the pre-genin.
I had dropped my backpack off at a safe location with traps set for anyone who was able to find my backpack. I walked into Iruka's classroom and saw that most of the genins looked at me with cold eyes and I inwardly sighed. I turned to Iruka and with as much humor as I could muster, "Class not as interesting without Naruto's and my pranks or Konohamaru keeping you busy?". Iruka smiled and Konohamaru looked like he was pouting. Iruka in his day was a big prankster and Naruto had followed in his footsteps. I had managed to up them occasionally with some legendary pranks but even the simplest prank now would send people over the edge. Once over, they would shun me completely and kick me out and with my luck, I would be come a S-rank missing-nin wanted dead. At a few more glares, I decided to take my leave and waved good-bye to Iruka and Konohamaru. They would be safer if I didn't associate myself with them or any of the people I care about. I hope Naruto will forgive me . . . I passed my friends in the street as if they didn't exist and I saw that they were no longer watched when I came anywhere near. The shinobi in the mission room didn't even bother to look at me before ignoring me. All I did was help rebuild. And train, and train and train till the next morning and starting over again. I hoped that my feelings didn't show but I couldn't help that my eyes were sad and I no longer had any cheer or spunk in my daily life. I acted more recluse but still myself so that no one noticed my declining health. A lone wolf alone can survive but once introduced into the pack and then an outcast among them, will slowly wither away till they die. My pack is the village and I am the lone wolf. I hid myself well and my friends were only worried because I had ignored them and except for the occasionally confused glance from Naruto, Konohamaru and Iruka, they ignored me. Some part of me wanted them to be persisant but they did what they should do yet I feel . . . Betrayed. Tsunade had said she was working on to get the word around that I wasn't a traitor and that they should treat me like before. They would never look at me the same again. Tsunade had said that I would have been made chuunin and almost jounin with a recommendation for ANBU but since I was declared a traitor among the chaos, it would take a while before I was listed as a chuunin.
Sasuke was acting even more withdrawn than I was so I got a little worried. Was he still mad about the whole kicked across Konoha thing? I felt a tinge of guilt at that, I didn't have to kick him so hard. I wanted to spy on him but I was already in few of anyone's good graces and didn't want to give them another reason to hate me. I did nothing till I was rudely awakened by a seriously bad promotion. I shot up from I was resting and ran towards my "family". Once on top of the Hokage monument, I checked my "family"'s chakra. Once I was assured they were fine, I checked Tsunade then Sasuke. Sasuke was awake with familiar chakras around him. Fucking shit! The four sound shinobi who held that seal! Shit, shit, shit . . . I should go help Sasuke . . . I never finished the thought as the five left. I discreetly followed Sasuke to where I saw Sakura was. I heard Sakura's confession then Sasuke's emotionless response and him knocking her out. My eye was twitching furiously at that, He just knocked her out?! Emotionless human ice cube and a duck-but, what a great combination., I quickly ran up to Sakura and after seeing that she was alright, I followed him to where he met the four sound ninja. His chakra dampened and the five left. I turned tail and ran back to tell Tsunade after waking Sakura.
Sakura told Tsunade and when she asked for more information, I stepped forward from the shadows. "I know the four ninja that Sasuke left in company of. That seal that I had to breach to get Sarutobi, these four are the casters. I don't know exactly how they will react but in case they have reinforcements, you should have a few ANBU with you at all times." I saw her nod before leaving.
I was taking as few chances as I could so as I saw Naruto promise that he would bring Sasuke back. Shikamaru was leading Chojii, Neji, Kiba and Naruto in the retrieval team. As soon as they were off, I jumped in a similar direction going a little to the right. I had sensed unfamiliar chakras in this direction and would help by defeating them before anyone else had to fight them. I wasn't going to even try to save Sasuke until I get rid of these distractions.
There was four of them and I knew that I had to work fast to catch up with the retrieval team. I didn't focus on their appearances much as I just fought. I stroke on in collar bone, another in the femur, the third in the shoulder and the fourth in the chin. The first had internal bleeding, the second couldn't walk, the third had a dislocated shoulder and the fourth was knocked out. I used Shodaime's technique and put them in a wooden cage before running off to find the retrevial team. I quickly headed in the direction that I needed to go in.
I first come across Chojii against one of the sound four, I see the that two of the three pills is gone and he eats the third. Wings of chakra, similiar to a butterfly appear on his back and he easily defeats the sound ninja, Jirobo. When I see Chojii grab his headband and drop down against a tree with some white marks . . . Shikamaru must have put them there so that Chojii could follow after he wins. I can follow after I help Chojii. I approach Chojii and he sees me. I form a clone and I start passing life energy to him after healing him the best I could. As I see that, I would have to stay here and moniter him closely to make sure he is ok and give up the chase. Potentially other members of the team could be hurt and I needed to find them. I decide to use a medical jutsu my mother helped create, it regulated the brain activity, heart and lungs to the pace of the caster, keeping the injured alive as long as the caster is alive. The caster dies and the support for the injured is gone. A string of chakra links Chojii to my clone an myself as I prepare to leave. I lean into Chojii and whisper, "I will find the rest of your team for you. Don't worry Chojii, just stay alive.".
I follow the marks on the tree until I come across Neji fighting another of the sound four, Kidomaru. I see his wounds and his headband in his hand next to the sound ninja. A feather rests above the headband as I run over to him. Neji and I barely knew each other but I formed another clone and used the same jutsu on Neji as Chojii again after I healed him the best I could. A string of chakra links my clone and myself to Neji as I sent some of my life force to Neji. I whisper into his ear, "I found Chojii, and I will find the rest of your team for you. Don't worry Neji, just stay alive.". Neji seems to tilt his lips up in a smile just before I left.
I continue on following the marks until I find Shikamaru fighting Tayuya, another of the sound four. He seemed to be in trouble until I saw Temari arrive. As they fought, I came up and did a jutsu that was almost my signature, DRAGON'S FIRE. Tayuya was defeated and I quickly spoke to them, "Chojii and Neji are alive but they need medical attention as soon as possible. I'm keeping them alive but please hurry.". I turned and ran following Kiba's chakra since it was closer. I only heard Shikamaru mumble, "Troublesome." and at that I smirked.
It didn't take me long to find Kiba. Kiba wasn't faring so well against Sakon/Ukon, the last of the sound four. He was injured quite badly and I was running towards him when a puppet took Kiba's place as a pin cushion. Kitty man, Kankuro, had arrived to help. Temari was here, Kankuro was here and more than likely Gaara was here. I didn't think that Naruto will go down easily but will Gaara, Naruto has a better chance. I was still coming up to them when Kankuro finished Sakon/Ukon off. I was by Kiba's side the moment I could, I started healing him like I had done with Neji and Chojii but didn't give him any life force. He would live, he would just spend some time in the hospital. To make myself feel better, I linked chakra to Kiba and Akamaru in the same technique I had for Chojii and Neji. After I was reassured that Kiba was okay, I turned to Kitty man, "I told Temari and Shikamaru that Chojii and Neji are hurt and need medical attention. I'm keeping them alive and I just used the same technique to know Kiba and Akamaru's conditions no matter what. Kiba won't die from his injuries but Akamaru will be in the hospital longer than him. Go take Kiba and Akamaru with you when you meet up with Temari. I have to find Naruto and hopefully Sasuke, duck-butt.". At his nod, I turned and followed Naruto's chakra but Lee's and Gaara's was closer. I ran to see if Lee and Gaara needed help and to check on Gaara's health.
I saw Lee impaled with bone spikes, and Gaara fighting somebody I didn't know. He had a gekkai kenkai that allowed him to use his bones as weapons. I activated my gekkai kenkai to copy his because if I remembered right, there was a clan that had this ability. There was only one survivor and I think this was him, Kimimaro. I watched Gaara fight against him while I removed the bone spikes and inspected the damage. I only paid a quarter of my attention to the fight as I tried to heal the many puncture wounds. I was also monitoring his old wounds that had JUST healed. We were suddenly raised in the air by sand when Gaara did, "SAND TSUNAMI". The fight continued until Kimimaro was buried under a LOT of sand. I deactivated my gekkai kenkai so I didn't over use it. I looked at Gaara and said, "Kankuro and Temari are getting Kiba, Akamaru, Neji and Choji to medical attention, take Lee with you when you meet up with them. I'm going after Naruto and hopefully, Sasuke.". I left going after Naruto.
I don't know what was happening but it felt like an explosion. I saw Naruto with red chakra surrounding him like a fox cloak and a single tail. I saw Sasuke with his verison of the level 2 curse mark, wings and all. I saw them flying towards each other with a red rasengan and a black chidori. I didn't even think, I just jutsued in front of Naruto. I took half of the damage intended for Naruto and while in close range of Sasuke, I bit the junction of his shoulder and neck. A black circle around the teeth marks formed with a red background in the circle. The kanji, Forever Foundwere in between the the teeth marks. I may not be able to stop him, but I can find him again. Naruto and Sasuke flew back against opposite sides of the river, unconscious. My world was going black but I gripped Sasuke's ankle in an iron lock while laying over Naruto, protecting him.
The mark she gives him is similar to a homing beacon. Once she gets in range, she knows where he is but at quite a range, she only knows the direction he is. The words, Forever Found, means that she will find him one day, if not tomorrow, someday, sort of thing.
