The Third Hokage has passed away, How will Alex handle the loss of the person he most trusted in the village. Alex also learns something that will put him in more danger then ever.
Chapter 21 Start
I stood outside of my house, the day was dark and gloomy, perfect for what today was, The third hokage's funeral. I saw Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke, all dressed in black same as me walking towards where it was being held as they walked by I joined them. None of us talked on the way, we were all in our own thoughts. We arrived and it seemed we were the last ones there, even Kakashi was there, we all took out spots. Naruto asked Iruka why did he have to die and he answered he allowed himself to die to save the village, and I thought "is that how all the hokages die?" but I didn't ask out loud. I looked up towards where the hokage's coffin was and saw there were just more then one, this is a group funeral for all the ninja that had died protecting the village. The funeral was very depressing and when it ended I just went home. I fell onto my bed and just sat there.
"You really depressed about this aren't you?"
"I didn't say I was depressed."
"You might not have said it but you can easily tell."
"I'm not depressed, sad? A little and a bit angry of whoever killed him but I have a right to feel like this the one I trusted the most and the one who said he would help me get home is dead now."
"Ninjas can't allow there emotions to get the best of them and if you allow them to you can't be a ninja. You need to understand that being a ninja requires you to feel nothing when a friend dies and same for when you kill someone which you have done twice now."
"I have killed two people yes but doesn't everyone have the right to grieve for a friend?"
"Ninjas do not have that luxury."
"Ninjas lose the luxury of being able to grieve."
"You can still be sad about it but you can not let it control you, Ninja most keep their emotions in check."
"I guess you are right, but I will grieve but will not allow it to show."
"That's a bit better I guess"
I realized that was the first time he talked to me without sounding angry but I dismissed that right away.
Knock, Knock someone was at my door, I walked over to open it and once I did I saw it was Kakashi.
"Usually when you arrive here bad news follows, so what is it?"
"The hokage told me if anything happened to him I had to tell you some things."
"All right go ahead."
"First of all he expected you might fail to keep the mark on your shoulder covered so he told me to tell you many people will be after you."
"He already told me that."
"Oh, but he also told me to tell you to watch out for a certain group of people called the Akatsuki, you can tell who they are by the coats they wear, black with red clouds they are always after powerful beings and we think they are after the tailed beasts but you still must be careful."
"The akatsuki, all right I will be careful."
"Okay that's it for now, see ya." and he disappeared.
At this time it was getting late so I just headed to bed.
When I woke up it was 9:30am, I got made myself something to eat then decided I should walk around and see how much damage was done to the village.
I looked around and saw damage was done but not as much as I thought there would have been. Many people were working on repairing it, I couldn't do much with my arm as it is.
I saw Naruto going towards the front gate with a pack on, I called to him,
"Hey Naruto, where are you going?"
He turned "I'm going on an important mission."
"Good luck." I said as I walked away
"Do you know anything about the Akatsuki?" I asked the Elemental beast
"No, I only heard of them today as well."
"That sucks, but at least I know how to spot them."
"Yes, and if you can sense their charka you should stay away from them."
"Your right, if they are after the tailed beasts they must be powerful."
"Yeah, must be."
*2 hours later*
I was still walking around the village at least I was doing something other then sitting around.
"DID YOU FEEL THAT?"
"Feel what?" I asked
"You didn't sense an increase in energy?"
"No I can't feel any at all."
"Some people can mask their presence so you can't put all your trust into the ability."
"All right."
I turned a corner and saw a movement from the corner of my eye, I jumped away from it and turned to see what moved. There were two people standing there. One had blue skin and looked like he had gills on his neck and fish eyes and a wrapped sword on his back, the other had black hair and the sharingan! But most importantly they both had on black coats with red clouds on them. The Akatsuki!
"Itachi?" the blue skinned one asked the other "Can I cut this kid up."
I got into the best battle stance I could with a broken arm
"Kisame, have you forgotten what out leader told us?"
"He told us to find the tailed beasts, but I can still have a little fun can't I?"
"He also told us to keep an eye out for a special someone."
"This kid is him?"
"Yes he is the host of the last living elemental beast!"
"What! The Last LIVING Elemental Beast?"
"Yes you are the host of the last living one the other host died a few days ago."
"If I'm the last one I can't allow you to take it."
"Come with us peacefully or we will have to force you."
"RUN YOU IDIOT WE CAN'T GIVE THEM THE POWER OF THE FIVE ELEMENTS WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY WOULD DO!"
I turned and started running using my charka to increase my speed but they were still much faster and Kisame landed in front of me and Itachi behind now there was no escape.
"So you want to do this the hard way?" Itachi said
"I'm not going to willingly give up to you guys."
"Kisame go ahead and do what ever you need to just don't kill him."
"All right."
I got ready to fight
"You think you stand a chance against me, you even have a broken arm."
I stood still ready to attack.
He suddenly appeared in front of me and smashed my face with his wrapped sword.
I jumped up and could taste blood, one hit and already bleeding...great.
"That's it?" He asked me "You can't even block that slow of an attack?"
That was not a slow move I thought.
I stood up and got ready to attack but he moved quickly and in front of me again I tried to dodge but didn't move fast enough and his sword smashed into my cast and it Shattered! My arm fell uselessly to my side.
"Your arm must have been hurt a lot for it to do that."
My eyes went red.
"Using the Beasts powers huh?"
"GALE FORCE!" I aimed my hand at him and release a massive wave of wind.
When the smoke cleared I saw I damaged the landscape but oh well, but then I realized he was not there.
"I'm behind you." He placed his unwrapped sword on me and pulled it back.
"AHHH!" I fell to the ground and looked at my right shoulder and saw my shirt and skin was shredded
"My sword doesn't cut it sherds. Also your right arm is useless now to." I could still move it but not as fast as before.
"Kisame leave him and let's go!" Itachi yelled
"What WHY?"
"Anbu Black ops." he pointed but I couldn't follow where he was pointing
They ran off and about five seconds later seven ninja landed in the area five of them ran off trying to catch the two and the other two walked over to me.
"Are you going to be okay Alex?" a girl with a cat mask on asked me
"How do you know my name?" I asked
"The third told us about you before he...passed on...we work for him and are highly trained ninja called the anbu black ops and he asked us to watch over you if the Akutsuki decided to enter the village."
My eyes went back to normal and due to the aftermath of the power and the blood I lost I started to feel lightheaded "Thanks..." I said then I passed out.
I open my eyes and the first thing thing I see is a white roof. I try to move and I instantly regret it, as pain shots through both my arms, I groan in pain.
"Alex your awake!"
I look over and see Sakura sitting on a chair "How long have you been sitting there."
"I have been coming to visit you everyday." I didn't like the sound of that
"Everyday? How long have I been here?"
"About two and a half weeks."
"Just because of the cut I got from the sword?" that is when I realized I had another cast on my left arm
"You shouldn't unleash his power if you know you can't even win it will just be putting meaningless strain on your body."
"It might put strain on my body but it also makes me stronger so I will have more of a chance to live longer and for help to arrive."
"I know i just want you to be careful."
"Don't worry I will." The same thing I said to Kakashi and failed.
*2 Days Later*
I got released from the hospital. I'm hoping I won't have to come back here unless it is to get this cast off, but they didn't know how long it would take to heal so I have to come back in about a month. I walked towards the front gate of the village and I saw Naruto, Jiraiya and two girls walk into the village. I stop where I am and wonder who the two girls could be, when Naruto comes over to me.
"Look who I brought back to the village Alex."
"Who are they?"
"The blond one is Tsunade and the other one is her aside and she came to the village to heal the wounded and most importantly to serve as the fifth hokage. Anyway I have to get to the hospital see ya."
Fifth hokage, no it happened to fast I'm in trouble if I can't figure something out quickly.
"What are you panicking about this time."
"Think about it, a new hokage one who knows nothing about you or me, the fact I'm not from this world she might think I'm crazy and not allow me to leave the village for my own "safety" but I need to think of something before she finds out about me one way or the other."
"If she forbids you from leaving the village you can easily disobey her and leave the village behind but that will put you in a bad spot."
"That's why I need to think of something quickly."
*1 hour Later*
"I will serve as the fifth hokage of this village!" Tsunade finished her speech and was rewarded with roaring applause the crowd was starting to get smaller so I decided I should try retreat while I have the chance. After about 2 steps an anbu black op appeared in front of me.
"The Hokage want to see to immediately."
"So I have to go see her now?"
"Yes, if you do not go we will have to take you there."
"I can do it myself thanks." he disappeared
She found out quickly,this really sucks I will have to help she does not try to contain me to this village.
I walked into the hokage's tower and walked to the door I knew well. I knocked.
"Who is it?" a female voice called from the other side
"My name is Alex i was told you wanted to see me."
"All right come on in."
I turned the knob and then entered.
