Chapter 25: Quote the Raven
Sakura and Naruto used their chakra to hold on as Sakura moved across the water using her own fox chakra to stop her from sinking. "I hope we get there in time." said Naruto
"Naruto-kun whatever it is it is." said Sakura as she placed a hand on her husband's shoulder. Naruto put his hand on hers.
"Thanks Sakura-chan." said Naruto as he turned and looked into his wife's eyes. Before Sakura could speak up a black raven flew down and landed on Naruto's shoulder.
"Greeting Namikaze, I bring a message from my late master Itachi Uchiha." said the raven
"What Itachi's dead?" asked Naruto worried that now Sasuke was unstoppable.
"He and his brother are dead." said the raven both Sakura and Naruto let out a sigh of relief.
"So both Uchihas are dead, what about Hinata?" asked Sakura
"Pain took her alive and is planning to have her replace Kisame." said the raven
"So another Akatsuki member's dead, well at least the Uchiha clan's gone." said Naruto
"No, Hinata's with child the Uchiha clan will live on if you let it, my master's last wish of you Naruto Namikaze's to kill Pain, destroy the Akatsuki and the Uchiha clan." Said the raven before he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Leaf Village
"So Danzou's dead?" asked Tsunade making sure she heard correctly that the old war hawk was dead.
"Yes, and we want to send ninja's to destroy the Sound bases on the map." said Minao Haruno
"You don't have to ask me again." said Tsunade "Send a half the ANBU force to closes base and keep the rest here to protect the village. Send scouts to the rest."
"Yes, Lady Hokage." said Hiashi as he left to send the ninjas out.
"Well looks like the Sound's going to finally fall." said Shikamaru as he and Temari appeared.
"We can only hope." said Tsunade
Back with Naruto and Sakura
Naruto and Sakura jumped down onto the ground near a huge creator. "Well it seems that that raven wasn't kidding something went down here." said Sakura as the cold wind whipped her hair.
"Yeah." said Naruto as he walked toward two bodies. He stood over the bodies of Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha. "What do you think we should do with them Sakura-chan?"
"I don't know, on some level we should leave them for the bugs but somehow that doesn't seem right. Sasuke was our enemy in the end but he was our friend in the beginning." said Sakura as she looked at the demon like creature laying on the ground yet somehow she could still see the 12 year old boy that was their teammate.
"Still we can't bury him with honour." said Naruto as he also looked down at the dead Uchiha and saw his friend and rival. "Let's just burry him here."
"That would be best." said Sakura "However we should bring Itachi's body back with us. He died to save the village the least we can do's bury him there."
"That sounds good." said Naruto as he ran through and signs. When he finished a shot of air flew out hitting the ground making a deep hole for Sasuke's body. Naruto then picked up Sasuke's body and placed it into the hole. Once that was finished Sakura ran through some hand signs and the ground around became covering the body.
"Well that's over." said Sakura as Naruto sealed Itachi's body into a scroll for easier transportation.
"No, we still need to finish the job that Itachi started." said Naruto as the two of them jumped onto Sakura's forehead before heading back to the Leaf village.
Unknown Location
"Welcome back Hinata Uchiha." said Pain as he looked at the woman lying in the hospital bed.
"Where's my husband?" asked Hinata not knowing who she was talking too.
"Itachi killed him." said Pain as Hinata head hung low.
"A wife, without a husband's useless." said Hinata as she repeated what the woman in her clan was taught to be.
"What does the Hyuuga clan say about mothers?" asked Konan
"Mothers must keep their children safe and raise them as their husbands see fit." said Hinata a little confused as what they were talking about.
"Hinata Uchiha you carry two babies inside of you." said Konan as Hinata smiled.
"Who are you two?" asked Hinata
"We are Konan and Pain." said Konan "We want to offer you a spot in our organization."
"What do you say?" said Pain
"Yes, but only if we can destroy the Leaf village." said Hinata
"That we can do but at the moment rest." said Konan as Hinata fell back asleep. "Are you really going to destroy the Leaf village?"
"Yes." Said Pain
"So you are going to kill the son of the man who saved your father?" Said Konan
"I can destroy the village and keep him and his wife alive at the same time." said Pain with a grin.
"He will try to stop you." said Konan
"He wouldn't be his father's son if he didn't."
Leaf village following day
Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru and Temari sat in Tsunade's office. "So Sasuke, Itachi, Kisame are dead?" asked Tsunade
"Yes." Said Naruto
"And Hinata's pregnant?"
"Yes."
"I see." Said Tsunade as she leaned back in her chair "And you want to hunt her down, kill her before they kids are born."
"I don't like it but we can't have another Sasuke Uchiha running around." Said Naruto
"Naruto….I can't let you kill her." Said Tsunade as the time travels looked at her. "Those kids are innocent and the council wants to bring the Uchiha clan back. So I want you to bring them back alive. Once the kids are born Hinata will be executed and the kids will be raised by Hinata's parents."
"So the council wants to risk the village in order to bring back the Uchiha clan." said Sakura with hate in her voice.
"No sweetie, only if you can bring Hinata Uchiha back without risking your life to do it. But if you can't kill her." said Minao Haruno as he appeared in the doorway.
"We are fine with that." said Temari even though Shikamaru knew his wife wasn't fine letting her brothers killer live a second longer.
"Ok then." Said Minao before looking up at the Hokage "Lady Hokage everyone's gathered and waiting for you."
"Ok, I will be up soon." said Tsunade as Minao left.
"Lady Hokage what's going on?" asked Shikamaru
"Well today's the day, I plan on telling the villagers about you guys." Said Tsunade as she stood up before putting on the Hokage robes over her shoulders and placed the hat on her head. "You four will stand behind me with the council members."
"This is going to be fun." said Naruto as they followed Tsunade out the door.
Outside
The villagers where gathered together in front of the Hokage tower.
"Do you have any idea what's going on Konohamaru?" asked Moegi as she looked at her friend.
"I don't know." said Konohamaru
"Well it has to be important to gather everyone here." said Udon as he looked up at the Hokage.
"Thank you all for coming I am here to tell you all that Orochimaru, the snake Sannin, is dead and soon the Sound village will be gone." said Tsunade as everyone started clapping and cheering "However it isn't over a new threat has appeared. The threat is a group of S rank missing-nins out to control the power of the nine demon lords."
"Let them take the demon!" yelled someone from the crowd.
"We can't allow them to capture the Kyuubi or they'll use its power to kill us all." yelled Tsunade back.
"What's she talking about the Kyuubi's dead, right?" asked Moegi as she looked at Konohamaru
"Now I want to tell you all the truth about what happened on October 10th that night 13 years ago. The truth's that the Kyuubi no Kitsune wasn't killed he was sealed inside a new born boy, Naruto Uzumaki." said Tsunade as the younger generation eyes widened.
"What! Boss has a demon inside of him?" yelled Konohamaru
"Now what's not generally known's that the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze didn't take some kid at random. He used his own flesh and blood. The ninja most of us know as Naruto Uzumaki is really Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, son of the Fourth Hokage." It was now the older generation time to be stunned. Most had a hard time believing that the demon child could be the son of the Fourth. "Now I will tell you how we destroyed the Sound. Some of you may have noticed the four other ninjas standing behind me with the council members." Everyone in the crowed looked as their eyes traveled over the four ninjas. One was tall blonde hair woman standing next to a black haired man. Next to him was a pink haired woman and what surprised the older people. Standing there was a mirror image of the Fourth Hokage the only real differences was the color of this clothing and the marks on his cheeks.
"Hey Konohamaru that man looks like Naruto." said Udon
"No he's way too old." said Konohamaru
"Some of you might think that these people look familiar. Now what do these four ninjas have to do with our victory over the Sound. Now this is going to sound very strange but these four ninjas used a jutsu to return to the past in order to stop the Sound from destroying our village nine years from now. I would like to introduce. This is Temari Nara formally of the Sand but now of the Leaf and her husband Shikamaru Nara. Next's the girl you may know as Sakura Haruno but in their timeline she's my student and took the title of Sannin from me, her name Sakura Namikaze." Everyone eyes widened as the relieved who the next person was. "Lastly is the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze the Fox Sannin."
Everyone looked stunned at the four ninjas from the future.
"That's the Boss?" asked a stunned Konohamaru
"Now I know that this is hard to believe but it's all true, I will know let Naruto Namikaze tell you all about what happened in his time." said Tsunade as she stepped aside for Naruto. Everyone watched as Naruto stood in front of them.
"Well hello everyone, I am sorry but I don't have much practiced talking to large groups of people. So I am going to be frank with you all, in my timeline almost every single one of you was killed or enslaved to the leader of the Sound Sasuke Uchiha." said Naruto as he looked down "When I look out over this village I do not see the peaceful building and happy people filling the streets. I see the unending fire and the dead bodies filling the streets."
"Demon you are the son of the Fourth why couldn't you stop the Sound?" yelled a villager as Naruto looked down.
"I tried." Said Naruto
"Tried…tried, is that all you have to say?"
"Even the Kyuubi power has its limits. The 9 tailed fox can't fight the other eight demons and win. However it was his power that got us to the past." Said Naruto
"Doesn't matter!" yelled another villager "You are still a demon and I will always hate you."
"Me too"
"Same here"
"I am not asking you to like me, all I am asking of you is to help me save both yours and my home." said Naruto as he turned to leave. As Naruto slowly walked away his ear twitched as he heard a whistling in the air. Naruto spun around and grabbed the flying kunai in mid air. "Are some of you so blind that you will try to kill someone who's trying to save you? My father would be saddened at how far the village that he gave his life for has fallen." With that Naruto dropped the kunai onto the ground and both he and Sakura disappeared in a flash of light.
Well I hope you liked this chapter and the fact that now the whole village knows about Naruto. I thank you all for the reviews however I don't know when the next update will be because I need to prepare for collage. Thank you all.
