Two Months Later
Two months after Naruto and his friends defeated Sasuke Uchiha and his vampire coven, Tsunade's cousin passed away, leaving her an enormous sum of money which would allow her to go back to her old manor in Naples and Konohamaru returned home.
The boy had had such a fun time with Naruto and the Vampire-Hunting siblings over the summer that he hated to return home. Konk, Temari, and Gaara didn't do very many jobs that involved slaying supernatural creatures and Naruto didn't try picking up anymore hot guys, so they had spent almost every day and night together hanging out in the comic-book store, at the beach-house, and at Henderson Beach just laying out under the stars.
It almost felt as though something really important was missing when Konohamaru left.
A few days after the boy left with his grandparents, and about a week before Naruto, Minato, and Menma were scheduled to move to Naples with Tsunade, Naruto stopped into the Comic-Book store to see his favorite siblings. Only they weren't there.
"I'm very sorry Naruto…But Konkuro, Temari, and Gaara aren't here right now. They left for a job with their Uncle Ebizo sometime late last night."
"What the hell do you mean they're not here?! They could've at least called me to let me know beforehand! And after everything we've been through together…"
"I'm sure they would have if they'd had the time," the old woman at the counter said. "But it was a very urgent job. They should be back sometime within the week."
Naruto swore loudly and left the store. What could've been so important that they would just leave without saying goodbye? They didn't have much time left together before the move as it was. It really sucked big-time.
But Naruto's luck didn't seem like it would be getting better anytime soon. When he got back home later that afternoon, the beach-house was in shambles. It looked even worse than it had on the morning after they fought the vampires. A whole half of the house had been blown away.
Naruto climbed through the rubble frantically and looked around until he found Tsunade in the sitting-room. She was on her knees sobbing with her face in her hands and it looked as though Iruka was trying to console her.
"Granny…Iruka…What happened?"
Tsunade didn't even look up at him. She was way too hysterical.
"Naruto…" Iruka said softly.
"What's going on Iruka? Why's the house destroyed…And why is granny crying like that?"
The man hesitated and then said, "Naruto…Your father Minato was abducted…By vampires."
Naruto's eyes widened in shock and then in anger.
"What the hell are you talking about Iruka?! What vampires?! We wasted the vampires, don't you remember?!"
"Naruto…You know full-well that there is way more than just one coven of vampires roaming the earth."
"So who in the fuck took my Dad then?! What the hell are they going to do with him?!"
"My guess is…He was taken to Madara's Labyrinth…By the worst of all the vampires…Madara Uchiha."
