Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

So, anyway. Naruto is Dad/Chichi. Hinata is Mom/Okachan. Just go with both of the names. Okay. This is going to be a tough chapter. Here we go. It's a bit short...but enjoy.

My dad looked as old and tired as my mom had. It was obvious he had changed since I had seen him last, two months ago.

"What's going on?" I whispered to Ichiro, my voice shaking. Everyone was standing still, as if they were made of stone. The eyes that Sasuke and Naruto glared at each other, however, were way too intense for stone. Ichiro shrugged.

"You finally came back." Dad said. He was grinding his teeth- a habit he and I always did when we were angry.

Kabuto leapt up onto the roof behind us. He stood behind Ko and Mangetsu. Dad's attention went to him. "Kabuto." He said. His voice was barely recognizable.

"Hello, Naruto-kun." Kabuto said in his charming, creepy voice.

I looked at my mother. Her focus traded from Dad, to Sasuke, to Kabuto. I looked at Sakura. She only had eyes for Sasuke. Interesting. I established something in my mind- Dad, Mom and Aunt Sakura knew Sasuke somehow, and Dad knew Kabuto as well.

I looked at Ken. He was as confused as I was.

"Well isn't this pleasant?" Kabuto chimed. It was so strange I almost laughed out loud. I leaned down the line to look at Ko and Mangetsu. Ko was back to normal, her head turned almost all the way around to Kabuto, and Mangetsu's hood was down, his swords resting at his sides, crackling with energy.

Ken strode up to Dad and stood by his side. "Otosan, what's going on?" Ken asked.

Sasuke chuckled. "You and Hinata have a kid…how cute." He snarled. He stepped forward and waved his hand back to us. "Get back, all of you," He said, turning to us, "You'll only get in the way."

Ichiro was confused. "But, Otosan-"

"Follow my orders." Sasuke said to his son. In defiance, Ichiro pulled down his hood, his face aligned with childish disappointment. His dark eyes were huge in his annoyance with his dad, and his hair, messed up by the hood of the cloak, looked exactly like his fathers' did. His bottom lip stuck out. He was pouting.

"He looks exactly like you, Sasuke." Sakura said. I don't even think she meant it to be a compliment.

I went up to Ichiro and bent to whisper in his ear. Only then did I realize how much I had grown. I was finally taller than the eleven-year-old. Yes! I murmured to him, "Let your father be. He somehow knows the Hokage, and his wife, and Sakura somehow…" Ichiro turned to face me.

"How do you know her name?" He whispered back. Shit. What would I say? Good thing Ichiro couldn't see my face go red. While I distracted him, the five of us moved to the next building roof, while Sasuke was getting charged up. Ken followed us, knowing he wasn't strong enough to stay with the more powerful adults. Smart…but outnumbered.

"She's…uh, very famous." I said. Of course she would be famous- she was trained by a Hokage who was one of the legendary Sannin. "You haven't heard of Haruno Sakura?" Ichiro shook his head. Then again, he'd been living under different rocks for probably his whole life. Go figure. I sighed shakily, my face saved.

I turned to face Ken, my Rinnegan out. He stared at me and gasped. I knew he couldn't see my face, but he could see my eyes. Ken turned to face the adults.

"Okasama!" Ken shouted. Mom turned to him.

"Not now, Ken." Dad said.

Ken pointed at me. "That one's a Rinnegan user!" I wasn't sure if Okachan or Ken could recognize my chakra with their Byakugan- it had changed too much. But they did try. I had a feeling they were looking for any smidge of proof that I was their family member. It made me sad.

Mom shook her head and returned to facing Sasuke. I nudged Ichiro's arm with my elbow. "You're dad's gonna need some help." I said. We turned to Mangetsu and Ko. They nodded. Ichiro nodded back. We leapt onto the roof, me on Sasuke's left and Ichiro on Sasuke's right. "You're outnumbered." Was the only thing I murmured to him.

Ox, Rabbit, Monkey, Dragon, Rat, Bird, Ox, Snake, Dog, Tiger, Monkey. Sasuke's hands flew so fast I could barely see them. But with the Rinnegan, I was able to. I knew what he was going to do when he held his hand and the lightening appeared in his palm.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Shit…I forgot about Dad. I didn't know what he would do…he was as unpredictable as I was.

But at least he wouldn't disappear suddenly like I did, said my conscious sullenly.

The Kage Bunshins appeared to see my chichi's outstretched hand and began fluttering their hands over it while my father released chakra. I could see Rasengan forming. One of the Kage Bunshins held his hands to the Rasengan, adding Wind chakra as it formed. I didn't know what would happen if the two clashed, and I didn't want to know.

"Stop it, Naruto!" Sakura demanded, half-screaming. Okachan put a hand on my dad's shoulder, but he didn't stop. He was in his own world now. The Kage Bunshins disappeared and Dad ran forward. Sasuke advanced as well. I saw everything as if it was in slow motion. Then it connected: lightening is weak against wind. I was scared that my master Sasuke would fall prey to my father's insane powers.

I ran as fast as I could to stop the attack. "Otosan, stop!" I heard Ichiro cry. Chichi was baring his teeth, and Sasuke was snarling. They both looked…feral. I felt I was running in slow motion. I pushed as much chakra as I could in my feet, and I burst forth. I could see through my Rinnegan that my dad was using the Kyuubi's chakra for speed. I was screaming, everything moved slowly, so slowly.

I leapt forward, using the Rinnegan to claim the two jutsus' chakra, and they disappeared. But the two couldn't stop, because their momentum was too powerful. I twisted to dodge out of the way, but the motion was too late. Their palms went smashing into my rib cage. I could hear my own ribs cracking. The sound shocked me so much that I bit my tongue in surprise. My sides were numb. I couldn't feel anything. Suddenly, though, I coughed in surprise. I saw blood fly from my mouth. Crap. I thought. My ribs pierced my lung. I staggered forward.

"NO!" I heard Ichiro scream. I felt like I was going to faint, but I felt my ribs and readjusted them as quickly as I could.

"That…was stupid." I whispered as loud as I could. It felt like my lungs weren't working. "You could have killed each other." I chuckled. I could hear Ko screaming, "I'm getting my mom!" I was wondering why she would go get her mother- and then I remembered that her mom was a medical nin. Whoops. I felt like I could float, but my feet were grounded. It was so hard to breathe.

I could feel myself getting picked up by someone really strong. I could only see their back and it registered briefly in my mind that it was Sasuke who held me in a fireman pose. I was thrown down on the ground and I could feel what air was left whoosh out of my body. The sky was dancing.

Punctured lung, anyone?

Okay, so I'm gonna focus more on climactic stuff next- just had to get that move in there, even though there were repercussions- but hey, every story's gotta have a mortal main character, right?
