AN: Well here is the next chapter as promised! The chunin exams are over so the next part of the story starts now and some surprises. Enjoy!
Chapter 12Nakoto was lying in her hospital bed, probably her least favorite place to be, but also the place where she was constantly ending up it seemed. It was 5 days after the exams had finished. Naruto had woken up yesterday and tried to escape. Nakoto had been sitting in her bed while drinking tea when Tsunade came in dragging a beaten Naruto in and tried him to his bed. Finally Tsunade left the room.
"You know Naruto. You could have saved your self a lot of trouble if you just stayed in bed. You brought this on your self." Nakoto was still calmly sipping her tea when Sakura walked in the room.
"Sakura! Please tell me you are here to let me out please Sakura!" Naruto was still struggling against his ropes.
"Actually Naruto, I'm here to let Nakoto out. She hasn't been causing trouble so she is healed enough to leave."
"YES!!!!!!! HA take that Naruto. I get to leave, I get to leave!" Nakoto had started bouncing around the room.
"You see Naruto, I learned along time ago that the fastest was to get out of a hospital was to remain in your bed and do what they tell you. I have been in hospitals so many times so I know what I'm talking about. You should just stay in bed and if you promise to be good and do what the doctors tell you, I'll treat you to some ramen."
"Uhhh, Nakoto you do know that treating Naruto to ramen means him eating about 10 bowls at least."
"Really, that's it? That is nothing compared to what I eat. And don't worry about it. My team goes on a lot of missions and so money isn't a problem."
Sakura really didn't want to know how much Nakoto could eat.
"Well, I'm out of here." And with that Nakoto jumped out of the window and ran to get some decent food.
The next day Naruto was let out of the hospital and decided to go find Nakoto. He was walking past Ichiraku when he saw someone sitting in there that looked a lot like Nakoto. He walked in to see about 10 empty bowls sitting round Nakoto. Before Naruto even said anything Nakoto put her chop sticks down.
"I see you took my advice and didn't try anything to get out of the hospital. Well I seemed to have promised you some ramen, so order what ever you want." Nakoto and Naruto had been eating for a while and when they were finished, Nakoto pulled out a purse the shape of a lizard and pulled out some bills and coins.
Nakoto and Naruto were just walking through the village talking about their past missions and other stories of their life. They ended up standing outside of the Hokage's office looking up at the Hokage Monument.
"My father's up there."
"WHAT! Your father was a Hokage? Which one was he?"
"My father was the forth. I didn't even really get to know him."
Naruto suddenly looked very upset.
"I'm so sorry Nakoto. Your dad died to seal the kyubi inside me. It was my fault."
"Don't be stupid Naruto. Dad died to save the village and he knew you were the only one he could use to hold the kyubi. No matter what people say about you, you and dad together saved the village." Naruto and Nakoto were looking up at the monument and they heard someone call their names. They turned around to see all of their friends running towards you.
"We have been looking all over for you. If we had known you were standing so close to where we were supposed to bring you we could have saved so much time. Come on, we all have a mission." Hinata said when they finally caught up to the two. The large group walked the rest of the way to meet with Tsunade.
"Well, we have to send you all away together on a mission in a village very far away. There have been reports of a group of missing-nins that have been causing a lot of trouble. Normally, we wouldn't send so many, but Nakoto, Suni, and Hoko's sensei has been in the village gathering some information for us and has discovered that the ninjas are working for Kenosha."
A look of hate came across Nakoto, Suni, and Hoko's face.
"You will be leaving by train in one hour and it will take a whole day to reach the village. Once there you will be split into groups and assigned an apartment that we have rented for you to live in until you finish your mission. Well go get ready and meet at the gates. Good luck all of you."
The hour went by quickly and everyone was at the gate, surprisingly even Naruto was on time. Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma, and Guy sensei were to go with their old teams as well.
The group were turning around to walk out of the gates to get to the train station when,
"You guys think you are going with out us?" Standing there was Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro with very large packs on their backs.
"Gaara why are you guys coming with us?" Nakoto asked.
"Well, we have an alliance with the hidden leaf village and I know I'm going to have to keep you out of trouble Nakoto."
The group of shinobi walked out of the village towards to train station an hour away. Nothing special happened during the walk. By the time they got to the station the sun was starting to set. The train hadn't come into the station yet.
"Ok so there are 4 to a room. I will be with Guy, Asuma, and Kurenai in room 01. In room 02 will be Hinata, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. Room 03 is Shino, Suni, Hoko, and Choji. Room 04 is Kiba, Neji, Tenten, and Lee. Room 05 is Shikamaru, Temari, Ino, and Kankuro. That is all."
"Hey wait. I get why Gaara doesn't need a room, but what about Nakoto? She needs one too doesn't she?"
"No I don't. I volunteered to stay up tonight as a watch with Gaara."
The train rolled into the station and they all boarded. They went to the dining car for dinner and just relaxed. It was starting to get late.
"Well I suggest that you all get to bed. See you in the morning. If you have any problems you know where we are." And everyone went to their rooms and left Gaara and Nakoto in the lounge car.
Naruto was almost asleep when he heard someone walking on top of the roof. Naruto got up silently and pulled out a kunai. He went to the back of the car and stepped out onto the landing. He jumped onto the roof and snuck up on the figure that was sitting at the other end of the car.
"Well, I just I was right when I thought you would come to investigate a noise on the roof Naruto." Nakoto was still facing the other way. When she turned around, Naruto noticed her eyes looked glassy as if she was about to cry.
"I think it is time I gave you all the answers you have been wanting for a while, Naruto." Naruto was a little shocked that he was finally going to find the answers.
"Naruto, I want you to not interrupt me. This is really hard to tell you. When I was just a few month old, the Kyubi attacked our village, but what most people don't know was that the reason my dad, the forth Hokage, wasn't there at the very beginning of the battle was because he was fighting the eight tail wolf demon. He knew he also had to deal with the Kyubi so instead of killing it, he sealed it in me. Yes I also have a demon inside of me. After my father left me with some friends he went to deal with the Kyubi. Because he had been weakened by the eight tails he couldn't fully destroy the nine tails, so he sealed it in the only other child who had been born around that time. That child was my twin brother. Naruto you are my brother."
Naruto had no clue what to say. He had family. He actually had a living sister and his father was…
"Wait a second, that means my dad was…"
"Yup, our dad was the forth Hokage. Now no more interruptions for a bit. I still have some things to explain, to all of you. Guys, you mine as well come out of hiding. I know that you have been listening this whole time." All of their friends had heard Naruto get out of bed and jump on the roof, so they had come out to listen to what was being said. Nakoto knew they were there because she had very good senses, even though everyone had dimmed down their chakra.
"The reason I was sent away was because when I was 4, the demon started to break out. The third Hokage decided I had to be sent out of the village to train with a specialist. I trained with the same man for my entire life. We traveled all over the word, studying different techniques. My sensei wasn't very good with taijutsu, so when I was only 7 I trained with a taijutsu master from wave country for a year. This specialist wasn't too fond of men so my sensei left to do some research for a year. There is also something else Naruto. You know when the kyubi takes more control and your eyes turn red? Well, that isn't because of the Kyubi. Our family had a blood limit, although it doesn't show up in everyone. Dad didn't have it, but we do. It's called the Shikugan and it gives us the power to create more chakra very rapidly, but after we finish using it, it greatly weakens us. It also gives us 360 degrees of vision but it isn't as powerful as the Byakugan. I have managed to master it with the help of my sensei, although I never really liked his training style. He would tell me roughly what to do then go away for days. He is one perverted old sage, it's that right Jiraiya."
Everyone turned around to see Jiraiya sitting there with a slightly annoyed look.
"I'm not that perverted."
"THE PERVY SAGE IS YOUR SENSEI!!!! How could anyone trust 3 girls with him! Did do anything to you cause I swear if he did he will be in a hospital for the rest of his life!"
"I see you have already taken on the protective brother roll, Naruto."
"Naruto, you don't have to worry about that. When I was 5 Tsunade trained me in chakra control. She beat Jiraiya up, just as a warning."
No one was saying a word. This information was really just too much. Naruto had a family and his father was the forth and he had a blood limit.
"Naruto? What are you thinking? Are you angry that no one ever told you? The Hokage had thought it was best that we grow up apart and that you didn't know about me. I tried to make him reconsider but he wouldn't budge on his decision. Please Naruto say something."
Naruto had a very down cast look. His body started shacking slightly. Nakoto thought it was out of rage. She collapsed onto her knees and started crying. She thought Naruto hated her.
Suddenly Naruto flung his arms around Nakoto.
"I'm not mad Nakoto. I'm just so happy. I have a twin sister."
Everyone went back into the car to get a few hours of sleep and left Nakoto and Naruto to talk and get closer. They had both found their family.
Little did they know there was someone seeking to destroy their new found family.
