DISCLAMER:I OWN NOTHING


The Way It Is Supposed To Be

Chapter 14: So Confused


5 DAYS ERLIER


Sasuke could not believe what was happening in front of his eyes. "This Power…." He thought out loud. "How can he have this much power?" As the giant rasengan closed in on him, Sasuke quickly opened a gap in space and made his way through.

"Holy shit, that was close." Sasuke shouted in relief, staring at the well dense forest he transported himself to.

"SASUKE-KUN!" Karin screamed. "LOOK BEHIND YOU! GET AWAY!"

Sasuke quickly turned on his heels and looked behind him. "O shit."

Naruto's blast severed in half as the portal began to close around it. The blast was far to fast to anticipate and Sasuke didn't expect it to get through.

"SASUKE!" Suigetsu and Jugo yelled as they tried to jump next to him.

(BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!)

The total destruction of the explosion was identical to its other half. Slicing and tearing everything throughout the forest.

"Ouch. That fucking hurt." Suigetsu complained, taking a look at the gash across his arm.

"It ripped right through the barriers." Jugo stated. "SASUKE?" He continued, looking at the cuts on his body. "Karin, go help him."

"Damn it." Sasuke winced, pulling one of the tree limbs out of his chest. "That bastard. He fuckin…..AH!" He cringed, looking at the deep slashes across his body and tree bark stuck through his skin.

"Well it looks like we won't be doing anything for awhile." Karin pointed out. "Suigetsu can't move his arm. Jugo broke some ribs and has many deep gashes. You got two broken legs, a deep gash across the chest, and a lot of splinters." She observed. "As for myself I got some scrapes and a broken wrist."

"Naruto Uzumaki is not someone who should be taken lightly." Suigetsu spoke.

"Sasuke?"

"Hn."

"What happened?" Karin asked, as everyone else waited for the answer.

"Let's just say……..I……"

"You fucked with the wrong person." Suigetsu smiled.

"……We got a lot of work to do." Sasuke finished. "Let's just get back to normal."


PRESENT


"Ahhhhh!" Naruto yawned, as he woke up.

"About damn time."

"Gaara."

"Here." Gaara said, tossing him a ring. "Neji declined."

"That is fine. I expected him to." Naruto smiled.

"The two of us got things handled, for now."

"I told Tsunade that we had a few more people in the group."

"Doesn't mean anything. We just get to keep changing our appearance."

"We are so cool."

"Don't be stupid." Gaara frowned.

"Whatever."

"Are you still going to the mist to pick up the….."

"Stop, not know. I am not in the mood."

"Sasuke is messing with your head."

"…………"

"Let me tell you something. We cannot do anything about the way we feel. Sometimes we say and do stupid things because of it. We can't do anything about the past. Everyone has to look towards the future. Sometimes when someone feels strongly for another, they test the love and it might just happen to me false. I think Sakura was just trying to see if the love was true or not." Gaara stated, causing Naruto to enter a little state of surprise.

"I don't want a lecture." Naruto replied, shocked by the so out of character Gaara.

"What are you going to do? Hit me?"

"Whatever. Gaara faggot of the sand."

"What?"

"You and your rainbow words."

"I will kill you."

"If you can……….FAIRY!"

"AAAHHH!"

As Naruto went running throughout Konoha with swarms of sand behind him………..


"I see……."

"So do you get it?"

"Yeah………sensei is an idiot." Iori proudly stated.

"What?"

"Kon-kun, if he doesn't realize how much Sakura loves him he…."

"He knows; it is just the way he is looking at. He feels that if Sasuke stayed, nothing would have ever happened."

"They still could have."

"Yeah, but to him the fact she loves him, as much as she says, is what hurts."

"How do you figure?" Iori asked puzzled.

"Aaaahhhhhh!"

"If she really loves him this much now, why couldn't she pay any attention to him when they were younger."

"I think I understand, but let's go talk to him."

"AAAAHHHHHH!"

"Speak of the devil." Kon smiled.

"RUNAWAY!" Naruto screamed, arms flying through the air.

"What?" They asked together.

"WWAAAaaahhh!"

"What was that about?"

"Iori?"

"Yeah."

"RUN!" Kon yelled, as he looked at the sand coming towards them.

"I AM NOT GAY YOU BASTARD!"


"Phew, that was close." Naruto let out, as he floated down stream. "Gaara almost got a hold of me."

"Na…Naruto-kun."

"Hey Hinata. What are you doing?" Naruto hollered from the stream.

"Well...um……..what are you doing?" She asked instead, looking over the side of the bridge she was at.

"I am floating away from Gaara." He replied with a smile. "I told him he was gay."

"O…….well um…..wait." She said, jumping off to the side of the bridge. "I wanted……..to talk to you."

"Hn." Naruto inwardly pouted, as he watched Hinata run over to the edge of the stream. "Not another one."

"Naruto-kun, please tell me what happened….um……to you?" She worried. "It was really frightening to see you like that."

Naruto slowly made his way over to the grass by Hinata. He pulled himself out of the water and sat down next to her. Hinata is a very caring person and Naruto knew that.

"I know that…..you may not want to tell me, but…….I have always looked up to you, so if there is something I can do to help. I would really like to try it."

"Alright…………Where should I start?" Naruto sighed.


"I don't understand why he changed." Hinata spoke, looking up toward the sky.

"I don't know either. He really………pisses me off. After everything that I have done for him, he stills pulls this shit with me."

"Naruto-kun." Hinata whispered, looking over at a very agitated Naruto.

"I will make him pay. He has done enough damage to everyone." Naruto stated, clenching his fists.

"Listen………..You really should talk to Sakura." Hinata urged, lifting herself off the ground.

"I am not sure I want to."

A strong wind blew past them, as Naruto sat himself up. He was so confused.

"YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY!" She screamed at him. "You know how Sasuke changed. He could have twisted that story so much."

A little realization hit Naruto after Hinata spoke her words. He needed to talk to Sakura, but still………what Sasuke had said was still getting to him.

"Thank you Hinata."

"No problem Naruto-kun." She smiled. "I'm glad I was able to help.

"See you later." Naruto said to her, picking himself up off the ground.

"Bye Naruto." She returned, watching Naruto run off.

"I need to see baa-chan. She will probably be with Sakura."


"I'm sorry Naruto, Sakura isn't here. I sent her away for a few days."

"What do you mean sent her away?" Naruto questioned, angry over the lack of details.

"Don't worry, she is just picking up a few items for me in a near by town."

"Is anyone else with her?" He asked worried.

"Yes, actually Gaara is accompanying her. They should both be back in a couple days." Tsunade answered, pulling out a bottle of another bottle of sake.

"Gaara huh?" Naruto said to himself, feeling better.

"Well he practically demanded it. He told me that if something were to happen to Sakura you would be freaking out, so he decided to go."

"Why didn't you just…………..never mind."

"Narut……." Tsunade began, stopping to catch Naruto's lost expression.

"Just tell her I want to talk speak with her." Naruto sighed.

"Alright." She answered. "So, how are you holding up?"

"Perfectly fine." Naruto smiled. "In fact I got some things that I need to do." He continued, causing Tsunade to raise an eyebrow.

"Well you time of slacking off is almost over. I will start needing you help soon."

"Whatever you want." He smiled again. "I'm going."

"Where are you going?"

"To do something."

"What?" Tsunade questioned, getting little angered.

"Do you really want to know?" Naruto edged her on.

"Yeah."

"Ok, I will tell you." He said, walking over to her ear.

"Well, what is it?" She said irritated.

"It's…….."

"WHAT DAMIT? JUST TELL ME ALREADY!"

"IT'S A………….Secret." Naruto laughed.

"BAKA!" Tsunade yelled, throwing Naruto through the wall.

"WAAAAAAaaaaaaaah!"

"ASSHOLE! MAKING ME THINK YOU WERE GOING TO TELL ME SOMETHING IMPORTANT!" She screamed after him.

"Well it's now or never." Naruto thought, soaring over Konoha.

Waving his hands around in the air, bending the wind around him, Naruto blast off across the sky.


"Where the hell is he?" Konohamaru complained, searching for his sensei.

"WaaAHH!"

"He is supposed to be training me."

"KON LOOK OUT!"

"What?" He asked looking up to the orange hair colored sky.

(BOOOOOOOOM)

"OW, you BAKA. What the hell are you doing?" Kon asked throwing his sensei off of him.

"Booboos." Naruto whispered under his breath.

"What are you doing Nii-chan?" Kon asked again, throwing a fist into the back of Naruto's head."

"AAHH! I was just coming to see you. LETS GOOOO!" Naruto spoke, grabbing a hold of Kon's arm.


"So you were finally able to blow up the rubber ball huh?"

"Yep, and it only took forever." Kon smiled as he passed out onto the grass.

"He is just like me." Naruto laughed, walking out into the clearing. "This should be a good place to do it."

"Are you sure?"

"No worriers." Naruto inwardly thought. "I'm at my max right now, so it will work just fine. I hope at least."

"Ok. But hurry and set it up." Kyuubi growled. "I'm tired."

"O shut up." Naruto mocked. "And quit your bitching."

"Whatever."

Throwing out a long and wide scroll, Naruto took of his vest and sandals. He then stood in the middle of the giant scroll.

"I'm ready when you are."

"OK FOX!" Naruto smirked, forming a few hand signs. "Let's do THIS!"

Taking a deep breath, Naruto closed his eyes. The ground slowly began to shake as Naruto put his hands together. In a flash his whole body was consumed in blue chakra. The quantity of which poured out of him was unreal.

"Almost there." Kyuubi strained from inside.

The whole village soon became aware of Naruto's location, as he expelled every last drop of chakra in his body, so that it was all around him.

"NOW!" The fox yelled, as Naruto slammed his hands down onto the seal.

Instantly the blue chakra vanished into the seal. Quickly the markings traveled up his body, making its way onto his chest. There they vanished, until a flamed shaped tally was marked on the left side of his chest.

"Few." Naruto sighed. "Later." He continued as he passed out form chakra exhaustion.

"I can't believe the shit this kid comes up with." The fox grinned "As soon as he gets the last ones up, we will be able to perform some crazy ass shit." He laughed, waiting for Naruto's fellow shinobi to come and pick them both up.


A WEEK LATER


"So you ready baka fox."

"Damn right, stupid kit." Fox hollered back, getting excited.

Each day Naruto has performed that same sealing technique, locking up a full storage of his chakra in each little tally. Now with nine, flame shaped, tally's across his chest, Naruto was also getting excited.

"NOW!" Naruto heard from inside his mind, instantly performing the seal for the final tally.

"I got you." Kon said as he grabbed onto the falling Naruto. "Let's get your stupid ass to the hospital."


"Sorry Konohamaru. I guess I got really carried away with these seals and forgot all about your training."

"No it is fine sensei." Kon spoke. "As long as you keep helping me with the rasengan, we are cool."

"Haha, sure, no problem. I actually enjoy spending the time training with you."

"AWWWW!" Kon smirked

"Seriously, it is fun being able to share these things with you."

"Thanks. I really enjoy it to. After all, I don't really have any family left. You are basically the only family I have." Kon expressed.

"I know." Naruto said, grabbing a hold of Kon's head and giving it a few pats. "How about in a few day's I hold another training session for the team."

"That would be great sensei." Kon stated. "I will go and tell all the others today."

"Fine."

"Then I guess I will see you later Naruto."

"He really isn't that different from you."

"Daaa, I think I said that a hundred times. I'm glad you finally figured it out fox."

"Shut up."

"Well, at least I know for fact he will become a great hokage one day." Naruto trailed off as he hoped off into the darkened sky.


Rain began to fall in buckets as Naruto made his way to a solo bench.

"Why do I feel so hurt?" Naruto asked the night sky, letting the rain hit his face. "Sasuke you bastard." Naruto cursed, replaying the event that had took place in the spot in front of him. "Gaara you bastard." Naruto smiled, remembering their little fight. "Thank you……..Hinata."

"So this is where you ran off to….." A soft voice broke through his thoughts.

"What are you doing wondering around here at this time of night?" Naruto rudely copied.

"I…………."

"Sakura……..go home and sleep."
