Chapter 25 Blood or honor part 1: The question of honor and friendship
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and Dead or Alive only the game
Naruto was running at a fast pace in a dark and creepy forest he could hear the fighting sound coming from the distance, he also heard the clashing sound of steel obviously they were fighting with their swords. He continued to run but he was caught in something that it looks like quicksand he try to move slowly remembering the tips to escape from quicksand thanks to a survival guide book he read back at Konoha library he never thought he will be so graceful to read that kind of book. Once he escape from the black quicksand he heard a groan of pain he immediately recognize the voice it was Kasumi. This time he used the flying thunder god jutsu to arrived quickly where the kunoichi was, when he got there he was grab by a couple trees it was like they were alive he struggle to break but it was no use he couldn't escape.
He finally saw in front of him a battle going on spotting the two ninjas he recognize them it was Hayate and Kasumi they were fighting it look like their fight from the tournament but it was more brutal and deadlier. Kasumi used her sword to block another of Hayate's attacks she used a kick only to be caught by her brother and counter with a kick of his own sending her to the ground, she got up but she was caught off guard as Hayate punch her stomach sending her on her knees. Naruto with anger and hatred filling him once again his Kyubi features appear along the red chakra coming from his body, he saw the orange hair kunoichi crying looking at her brother whom he glare at her with anger.
"Hayate……please don't do it……..I love you" she said with tears falling from her brown eyes.
Naruto watch with his crimson eyes glaring at Hayate hoping that he will show mercy to his own sister, but he didn't show he took his swords and stab both of them right in the middle of her heart. She fell on the ground follow by a pool of her own blood her face full of tears, she gaze at the shock Naruto and extended her hand making an attempt to reach him but she failed miserably.
"N……..Nar…..Narutosan" those were her last words before falling to the ground dead.
"NO KASUMICHAN"
He growl in pure anger the fox cloak forming and one tail appearing it was enough strength to break free from the hold of the living trees he rush towards the lifeless body of Kasumi with tears in his red eyes.
"No Kasumichan please…..you can't die…..please don't leave me"
He then glare with all the hatred in the world at the murder her brother Hayate he gasp seeing the young ninja crying, this wasn't the reaction of someone who wanted to kill a traitor from its village.
Hayate glare at him as he continued to shed tears for his sister" why……WHY I told you to always protect her" he then pick his two swords ready to attack him" NOW DIE"
He charge at him while the Kyubi Naruto stood shock at Hayate's words he remember what he told him a long time ago that it was his responsibility to protect Kasumi because she kissed him he was automatically suppose to protect her based on a tradition in Hayate's village. His thoughts were erased as he saw Hayate charging at him with his two swords he stab him and everything fade to black.
Naruto rose up from his bed with a lot sweat covering his face he saw he was in his room he was really freak out he just had the worst nightmare he could ever had, he look next to his bed and saw the empty cups of noodles lying on the ground.
"That's it no more eating noodle cups as a late night snack"
He got up from his bed thinking about the nightmare but most important he was thinking about Kasumi, after experiencing such a horrible dream he was worry about her.
(Maybe I should call her just in case)
He left his room and went to the telephone he pick it up and dial Kasumi's number it rang for a couple of minutes but she didn't answer, it was quite obvious it was pretty late at night. He was getting worry now she still didn't pick the phone he started thinking the worst did Hayate got to her did he really…..He shook his head erasing the horrible image of Kasumi dead he waited for her to pick up the phone, he was relief when the ringing stop somebody got the call.
"Yes….hello?" came the voice of a sleepy Kasumi.
Naruto felt so happy" Kasumichan it's me"
As soon as she heard the voice of her blond crush she wake up quickly and she didn't sound sleepy.
"Narutosan hi is something wrong?" she said sounding happy that he called her.
"I'm sorry for calling you so late I was just worry about you and I wanted to check up on you"
(He was worry about me) Kasumi thought while blushing and smiling" Narutosan I'm fine"
"Are you sure has Hayate show up?"
"No he hasn't actually Ayane came yesterday"
"What Ayanechan and…….." he trailed off expecting that Sasuke's new girlfriend didn't end up attacking her.
"I was really surprised she only came to talk and she has finally put her past behind her I couldn't believe it she told me she didn't hated me she has always seen me as her sister and I………." she started sobbing.
Naruto smile hearing the orange kunoichi sobbing because she was happy.
"So Aayanechan doesn't have a grudge with you anymore?"
"No she has forgive me and she told me that it wasn't my fault for leaving the village she told me that she would have done the same thing just to restores Hayate's honor and we also talk from other topics I have never enjoy spending time with her so much"
"Good for you Kasumichan" Naruto said happy (well at least Ayanechan is out of the picture in killing Kasumichan Hayate is the only one left)
"Narutosan I have been thinking before you fight my brother would you like meet me at the park?"
"Yeah sure I have no problem with that"
"Good then I'll guess I'll see you at the park tomorrow"
"Right well I better continued catching my zzz"
She giggle" okay and Narutosan thank you for calling"
He smiled while hanging the phone he return to his room and went back to his bed he was going to need the sleep if he wanted to be ready for his match with Hayate.
(Tomorrow I won't lose to you Hayate)
The next day forest region
In a valley next to a large waterfall Hayate was staring at the valley follow by looking at the shinning sun emerging to greet the land with his warm and light. Today was going to be a day worth remembering in his life he was facing Uzumaki Naruto even if he didn't show it he was looking forward to fight him although he didn't know why. Since he first met the blond at the preliminaries he knew that there was something about him and in time he figure out why, to Hayate the blond was not a ninja in his eyes a ninja was a weapon to bring death to his enemies never to show any emotion. But when he looks at Naruto he doesn't see a ninja he was the opposite of a ninja, what kind of ninja relies on his feelings and puts friendship first before everything else.
However his personality his physical appearance and his fighting style reminding him a lot of the one ninja in his entire life who considers him he's hero the person he idolized. As he thinks about Naruto he is not so sure what to think of him at first he considers him a fool a clown remembering how he defeated Zack in the first round, he also thought he was weak hearted for holding back on Tina in the second round. He somehow felt jealous when he saw that he has become friends with his sister Kasumi and she became rather fond of him he felt jealous because his instinct as older brother was kicking in to protect his little sister even if she honestly didn't need it with her strength. He was glad when Naruto accepted to take care of her at least he will protect her from himself, deep inside of him he hates himself for trying to kill her but nevertheless the rules of the clan were absolute no matter how he look at it.
(Hayate's POV)
Honor the word means everything to me it means loyalty for what you believe in for what you fight for when you die on an honorably death it means you die protecting the clan and the village that will be my kind of death an honorable one. In the Mugen Tenshin clan the rules were absolute and they have to be follow and obeyed at all cost disobeying even the smallest rule means severe punishment, we have to lead an example to the future generation of the clan those who will surpass us and carry the legacy of the clan to their children and their children's children and so on. Kasumi my dear sister understood the rules better than anyone father taught us to obey the rules of the clan well as the heirs to the leadership of the clan, but that all change when that bastard traitor Raidou came to the village seeking the sky torn blast and eventually my fall at his hands which lead Kasumi to leave the village and go after him.
I know Kasumi too well and she ran away from the village to avenge me and restore honor to the clan by defeating the traitor and recover the jutsu scroll, but she still broke the rules and the punishment for her treason is death. As the leader of the clan is my duty to make sure the rules are fulfill and it is my duty to hunt the traitor and kill her even if that traitor is my own blood. I have made up my mind I will kill my sister for her betrayal as the leader of the clan I am the first person to obey the rules before anyone else. Friendship the word I'm not so familiar with when I think about friendship I think my relation with Ryu my parents and Kasumi and Ayane even if they are family I consider them my friends, but I want to know one thing that has bother me for a while now is honor and friendship connected.
I didn't know the meaning to that question but I began to understood when one of the worst moments in our clan history arrived, I will never forget it I was only six the village was infected by a deadly plague it was killing our people the women the children everyone. Father was afraid because mother was pregnant with Kasumi and she could get infected too making the possibility that she might lost the baby I couldn't lived with myself if she dies by a sickness. The medics were trying everything they could to find a cure but it was no use the plague was too rare to even find one, I lost hope along with our people it wasn't long before we were all infected and die it was going to be the end of the Mugen Tenshin clan. But suddenly a miracle happen we have visitors coming to the village they were ninjas from Konoha, I will never forget when they arrived to the village we were ready to attack in case they came to invade us.
But we were so wrong attacking us wasn't what they had in mind we were really shock that they came to save us from the plague and that's when I meet him. I saw him entering our village the Yondaime Hokage along with a group of medic ninjas it seems they were been accompany by a professional medic ninja because her knowledge and skills in medicine were so advance she some up with a cure for the plague in mere minutes. Our medics were shock they have never seen anyone so talented like her I think I remember the Yondaime calling her Tsunade. Of course we weren't so trusting of Konoha if they came to our village to help us rather than attack us they came here seeking for our aid, the council along with everyone thought that the Yondaime wanted something in return for helping us like an alliance or an economic trade treaty. But once again we were wrong of his intentions I will never forget that day when the council called him demanding to tell them his reasons I will never forget his words.
(Flashback to the Mugen Tenshin village council chamber eighteen years ago)
In the large square chamber the audience were present villagers along with ninjas of the clan in the in front of the crowd stood the members of the Mugen Tenshin council which consisted of the elders of the village among them was of course the leader of the clan Shinden next to him stood the small Hayate. Standing in front them were the ninjas of Konoha a group of medic ninjas with an young woman who seems to be in her late thirties with blond hair and two pigtails she was Tsunade. Finally the last ninja facing the council with his shoulder length spiky blond hair and sapphire blue eyes wearing his white flames trench coat and his jounin uniform under his trench coat he was Namikaze Minato known as the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha he was also known as the yellow flash.
Of course the people of the Mugen Tenshin clan were no fools they knew who was the Yondaime Hokage from all the humors they have heard from him he was the strongest ninja that ever walk the ninja world. His strength was even greater than their ally clan the Hayabusa clan, they have also heard of his deadly jutsus one of the jutsus they heard was the flying thunder god jutsu enabling him to travel at the speed of light that's how he gained the title of yellow flash and how he defeated an army of stone ninjas in the second ninja war. Another of his powerful jutsus that they have heard was the rasengan they heard that it was so powerful it could kill anyone with ease. So here he was a ninja that has become a legend among the greatest ninjas that ever lived facing the council of the Mugen Tenshin clan, however the elders didn't felt intimidated by him they were expecting that a powerful ninja like him would have a cold stare showing no emotions but they were quite wrong.
Hayate gaze at him and everybody saw his face which it was the opposite from what they were expecting his face shown no anger or hatred, his blue eyes shown mercy kindness and he had a small smile meaning he was friendly. They were shock the strongest ninja was a friendly type of person or maybe he was hiding his true self behind that smile some of them didn't trusted him but others did and found someone who could rely on and even consider him an ally and not to mention that some of the women were gazing at him while blushing making a lot of men jealous.
Shinden look at the Hokage the man who saved their lives" Hokagesama your visit to our village is truly an unexpected one I thought you came here to attack us and take the advantage that most of our defenses have fallen ill due to the sickness"
The Yondaime chuckle at his comment" what fun there is in doing that attack your village when you are sick it will be too easy to win" he laugh like he was kidding which in truth he was.
However his comment made some of the people present a little upset some of the ninjas were holding their katanas while others were holding their shurikens ready to attack him. The council did not look happy by his comment some of them were upset like Shinden and others were pissed at him, Hayate was worry his comment was a wrong move and it could turn into a trip to his grave what was he thinking. The Konoha medic ninjas sweat dropped while others were trembling that they might get kill by their Hokage's rude comment but Tsunade was pissed at him.
(What the hell are you thinking Minato are you looking to start a war with the Mugen Tenshin clan I swear sometimes I think you pretend to be stupid?)
Shinden clear his throat" Hokagesama I would watch my tongue around here not to make such comments I will not be held responsible if you get killed by my men"
Minato bow to him" I humbly apologize to you and to everyone in the clan but I was just kidding I didn't came here to attack your village I simply came here to help your people to get rid of the deadly plague"
At that moment the people started murmuring things along with members of the council Shinden raised his hand as a sing to silence them and look back at the Hokage.
"We know very well of Konoha we have heard a lot about the leaf village as one of the strongest of the hidden villages we have heard about your diplomatic negotiations to evade war at all cost, but surely you can't expect us to believe that you came here just to help our people from this disease and not to expect to gain something in return so please enlighten us why have you come here Hokagesama?"
Tsunade sighed nobody knew Minato like she did among Konoha the ones who knew him better than anyone were herself Sarutobi the retire Sandaime Hokage and his own teacher Jiraiya this people needed to know what kind of person is the Yondaime Hokage.
The council and the villagers were looking at the blond Hokage waiting to hear his answer he look at them with a serious look while concern was reflected in his blue eyes.
"I won't stand and watch people die before my eyes I won't let this prestigious clan die by a mere plague if there is something I can do to help I won't hesitate to do it"
Silence fell on the large chamber no one said a word they were either too dumbstruck or shock to what they just heard, Hayate stood quiet with his eyes wide open but he manage to give a small smile. A couple of minutes later the people started murmuring things and some of them were quite audible.
"Is he for real?"
"He's kidding right?"
"Is he a ninja?"
"He's crazy"
Tsunade sweat dropped along with the medic ninjas it was the kind of reaction she was expecting knowing that the Mugen Tenshin clan was a clan that goes by the book to them the rules was as valuable as their lives including the most obvious ones like a ninja should never show any emotions.
Shinden snap from his state of shock" Hokagesama do you just heard yourself are you telling us that you only came here just to cure this decease you don't want nothing in return like an alliance or an economic trade treaty?"
This time Minato gave them a kind smile" this is a great power and responsibility I've been given and for quite a time I have realized that the role of Hokage is more than just to help and protect the leaf village of Konoha but to also help those in need outside of the village, the people that can't defend themselves the people that they need medicine because they're sick as long as I'm the Hokage I will not just protect Konoha but also the people outside who needs the help and protection"
Once again silence fell on the chamber by now some of them were actually smiling to think there was a ninja who will be so humanitarian a ninja that always shows his emotions who would have thought it seems there was a first time for everything. Shinden was still shock but he gave a smile and somehow he felt like he could trust him there was something about him that will make the people trust him and believe him. Tsunade looked around the chamber and saw the smiles in the villagers and the ninjas she smile once again the Yondaime Hokage has made future allies or friends. Shinden look around the members of the council he whispers something to them and they all nodded in agreement he faced the blond Hokage again.
"Hokagesama we the members of the council and the people of the Mugen Tenshin clan are grateful for your kindness Hokagesama, however we won't be doing any favors to you or Konoha I hope you understand"
Hayate was shock he didn't like the decision his father just made its because of the Yondaime that the village was safe from the plague how could he not find a way to repay his gratitude.
"B…..but father can you repay him as a debt of honor?" said the young boy Hayate.
Shinden look back at his son with a shook of his head" no my son we can't we only pay debts of honor to our allies but since Konoha is not an ally we won't pay nothing"
Hayate stood quiet but he still didn't like the idea of not repaying the Hokage.
"That's quite all right I only came here to help everyone with the plague however if by any chance the plagues returns Tsunade" Minato said calling the blond medic ninja.
Tsunade got next to Minato" I have made lots of examples of the serum to kill the plague so you and your clan can use if it's necessary"
(He's even going to give us the cure just in case is he serious?) Thought a shocked Shinden.
"Yes thank you Hokagesama and please try to understand for not giving you our support but we don't want to get involve with any external affairs that doesn't concern the clan"
"It's all right I understand" Minato said with a smile.
"Well this will conclude our meeting thank you for your visit Hokagesama" Shinden said.
After they left the council room Shinded meet up with Minato and the two began talking they immediately became friends while Hayate using his new learn stealth skill he closely listen to their private conversation.
(Hayate's POV)
I heard my father talking to the Yondaime they were already getting along and that's when the he told a big secret to my father. He told him that he trusted him so he told my father that he recently had a son he was very happy to be a father, but he was afraid since he had many enemies they will try and kidnap him or worst so he decided to named him after his wife but he didn't told him the name of his wife. I couldn't believe it but I figure that the Yondaime really trusted my father to tell him such a secret and of course he has kept the birth of his son a secret, so my father knew it and so did I the Yondaime also trusted me since has knew all along that I was eavesdropping in their conversation.
(Back to the flashback)
"Hayate what are you doing here?"ask an upset Shinden.
The small child gulp seeing the look his father was giving him meaning he was in trouble but the Yondaime stop him.
"It's all right Shindensan I already knew he was listening so who is he?" he smiled looking at the small boy.
"My apologies Minatosan this is my son Hayate excuse he's rudeness for listening to our conversation"
Hayate blush but he kindly bow to the Hokage" it's an honor to meet you Hokagesama"
"Please call me Minato there's no need to be so formal"
"Minato we are ready to leave on your command" came Tsunade's voice from the distance.
"Understood I'm on my way" he look back to Shinden" Shindensan I hope we get to meet again" he offer his hand.
"I feel the same way Minatosan I'm sorry about our situation maybe someday we'll have alliance"
"Don't worry about it" he said while getting on one knee to stood in Hayate's height" Hayate I can tell you will become a strong ninja someday so always protect your village and those precious to you"
Hayate's eyes widened hearing that he saw Minato leaving and getting back with Tsunade and the medic ninjas.
(End of flashback)
(Hayate's POV)
From that moment on I wanted to be just like him I guess I wanted to be like him for real.
(Flashback to Mugen Tenshin village three days later after the Yondaime's visit)
Hayate ran to the streets of the village with a big smile on his face he went to his usual spot where he plays with the other kids which was a small alley. When the kids saw him they smile seeing their companion wearing a white cape resembling a certain Hokage's trench coat he made a pose while facing the curious kids.
"Here me everyone I am the Yondaime Hokage watch me protect my village and my precious people from the enemy"
"Wow Hayatesan you look so cool" a small boy said.
"No I am not Hayate I am the Yondaime Minato I will fight with my flying thunder god jutsu" he made another pose while the other kids were cheering him.
"What are you doing here Hayate?"
Hayate pale hearing the voice of his father he turned around to see him looking at him with a not so happy face.
"Hayate mind telling me why you have taken one of my undershirts and used it as a cape and most important why have you skip your training and your chores?"
"I am not Hayate I am the Yondaime you can't defeat me" he charge at his raising his right palm.
"RASENGAN"
Apparently the blue sphere never appeared and he didn't even touch Shinden's making him sweat dropped.
"I don't get it I must be out of chakra" Hayate said shock.
"No Yondaimesama you need training before you can even start to mold your chakra now come along you are in big trouble young man"
The children saw Shinden dragging Hayate through the streets while he was yelling you can't do this I am the Yondaime Hokage you will face my wrath.
(End of flashback and back to Hayate's POV)
I guess the Yondaime became my hero however we receive grave news from Konoha a week later the leaf village was attack by the Kyubi and the Yondaime died killing the beast but I know that wasn't true. The Kyubi is the demon lord of the bijus and the strongest even as strong as he was it's not possible he was possible to kill the beast, I thought that maybe he used some kind of jutsu to stop it but not killing it. It makes sense when I saw Naruto releasing that red chakra in my match with Kasumi and his eyes those red eyes that reflect death no doubt it was the Kyubi's chakra, my suspicion were correct the Yondaime used a sealing jutsu in cost of his life in sealing the Kyubi in a newborn child his own who else will be he resembles the Yondaime so much his whiskers are the only thing he has different from him. In the end the Yondaime made the ultimate sacrifice to save Konoha from the Kyubi and turning his son into a jinchurikki, we already knew about the existence of the jinchurikki's how they were used as a weapons in the past ninja wars. I will be a complete fool if I judge Naruto for something that wasn't his fault and besides Kasumi seems to like him she seems very happy when she's with him but I wish I was there with her too but that can't happen not anymore.
(Back to normal POV)
Hayate sighed while gazing at the waterfall this match wasn't going to be easy knowing that the blond ninja has been hiding his true strength in his last two matches but that will change today he will fight him with everything he has if he wants to beat him. He knew that someone has appeared he knew who it was his half sister Ayane he didn't look at her and continued to gaze at the waterfall.
"Ayane I'm glad you could join me"
"I'm sorry master Hayate but I have been busy lately" she sounded a little nervous.
"I know you have been busy with your new relation with the Uchiha" he said trying not to sound amused.
She blushed hard while Hayate was still not looking at her which she was thankful" Hayate I'm really sorry for not telling you anything about it I swear I was planning in telling you"
"It's all right Ayane if you're happy I'm okay with it you're old enough to make your decisions"
"I am" she said with a smile.
This time Hayate look at her and he was surprised to see her smile he never thought to see it in his half sister, the smile she gave was a pure smile that reflected true happiness. He knew she didn't have a nice childhood while growing up in their village the people hated her for being the child of the traitor Raidou and they all knew that her birth was a mistake that she was never supposed to be born. But he didn't care he saw her as another person of the village a friend and even if she was his half sister he saw her as his real sister by blood.
"Ayane you've change"
She gave him puzzle not understanding what he meant.
"The Ayane I know was cold and distant from others but now I'm looking at a new Ayane and I think it's a change for the better"
Ayane smile she felt happier and she was happy ever since she became Sasuke's girlfriend she has been happy and she has also been hanging out with Naruto and Sakura, she has become friends with the two ninjas. Naruto has become like a brother to her and after finding out that he was a jinchurikki she accepted him even more because he understood her pain, Sasuke told him about her past and Naruto understood perfectly so he quickly became her friend he even calls her Ayanechan and she didn't mind at all. She was really happy to have a meet a wonderful group the three have change her to a better person.
"Master Hayate thank you for understanding and also are you going to kill Kasumi?"
Hayate look at her" yes I will obey the rules why are asking me Ayane?" (this is the first time she's asking me if I'm going to kill her)
She immediately shook her head" no it's nothing I understand by the way why are you here so early your match won't be for hours"
"It's okay I can wait"
"I see then I'll see you later then" she then vanish.
Hayate got back to gaze at the waterfall (Ayane has really change she's concern for Kasumi I wonder if you're the reason to her sudden change Uzumaki Naruto or should I say Namikaze Naruto)
Chinese restaurant the Golden Dragon
Felipe was seated on a table waiting for his guest he will be happy if it was another date with Helena but unfortunately this wasn't a date, today he was finally going to meet face to face with the man who has taken over the company DOATEC Victor Donovan. It was going to be a reunion about business nothing more but business was good after all, that's when he saw a man entering the restaurant wearing a black suit a hat with the same color and sunglasses. Felipe didn't needed to be told he knew that was Donovan he had his whole face cover so that no one recognizes him he immediately went and got seated on the table he was looking at every direction making sure no one recognize him.
"You are taking a great risk by coming here" Felipe said.
"I know but I must speak with you personally"
"Well were here so what is so important that you have to talk to me face to face?"
"First off all tell me about Helena have you kill her yet?"
Felipe chuckle" no but I have a big surprise for her before I kill her I want to enjoy myself with her if you know what I mean"
Donova chuckle while giving a grin" you really are a genius sure why not she must taste heavenly and quite frankly I have been imagining how she will look like naked"
"Don't offend me that's my job"
Donovan chuckle again" okay now back to business I have big plans at the end of the tournament"
"Really what kinds of plan?" Felipe said interested.
"My secret colleague is looking for a strong fighter and eventually he will find it when the winner of the tournament is announce at the final match"
"Your secret colleague and who might he be if you don't mind me asking?"
"Sorry Felipe that is something I can't tell you he wished to remain anonymous for the moment"
"He must be one hell of a colleague"
(You have no idea) Donovan thought" yes you could said that but anyway the most important thing is working on a top project my quest to build the ultimate fighter is almost near"
"And I'm guessing you're not going to tell me what your secret project right is?"
"Well it wouldn't be a secret if I tell you now would it if you keep playing your cards right then maybe I might tell you"
"Okay I understand but what are you planning to do with the people that want you death?"
Donovan gave him an evil grin" what else I will kill them Hayate and his ninjas and those ninjas from Konoha too they won't stand a chance when I unleash my deadly creations on them"
(What kind of creations is he talking about I thought he was working on a special weapon what is he planning?) Felipe thought" so you are going to kill those ninjas just like you kill Fame Douglas?"
"Well of course I send Bayman to kill Fame because he was in the way in gaining ownership of DOATEC but I regret getting rid of him because his daughter has the right to the ownership"
"Don't worry Donovan she will die by my hand" Felipe said with a grin.
"I'm counting on you"
Far away from the restaurant at the top of the highest building in the street stood Christie she stood on the border of the roof holding a new sniper rifle since Felipe got rid of her old one, she bought the best custom twenty three caliber automatic rifle it's bullets were larger than the regular rifle. All she needed was a good shot and the kill will be done she slowly pointed her rifle waiting for the right moment to fire, she was so thankful somebody call her and gave her a job to kill Donovan since she wanted to kill him more than Helena. She continued to point her rifle at her target when finally she had the perfect shot pointing exactly at the middle of his head it was now or never, while giving a grin of satisfaction her index finger reach for the trigger.
(Farewell you son of a bitch)
BANG
Suddenly it came out of nowhere one minute Felipe was talking to Donovan and the next Donovan was shot on the head his body fell on the ground dead, there was blood everywhere from the table to the floor. The people in the restaurant scream in panic as soon as they heard the loud bang a lot of them went under the table to take cover while others run away from the place screaming like crazy. Felipe was shock but he was able to snap from the trance he went to his body checking for any pulse but he found none it just happen Victor Donovan was dead, he gasp while looking around the restaurant at some of the people that were still present.
"SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULANCE"
Miles away from the restaurant Christie was already driving in her new black Viper with a big smile on her face that was one bastard out of the way to worry about she knew the world would be a lot safer without him.
(Target eliminated)
Tokyo Park
Naruto was walking looking for Kasumi he also wanted to see her badly before his match with Hayate since he had that horrible nightmare, when he reach where the benches were he saw her staring at the small lake she was wearing her usual blue ninja uniform.
"Kasumichan?"
Kasumi look at him with a smile" Narutosan I'm glad you made it here"
"Of course I will come so what do you want to talk to me about?"
She stood quiet while looking into his blue eyes" Narutosan it's about your fight with my brother"
Naruto sighed" Kasumichan I……"he trailed off.
"Please Narutosan don't ……don't kill him I know you don't like him but please I beg of you he's really a good person"
"Even if he almost kill you at your match if I didn't interfere you would have die" he said worry.
She stop looking at him while gazing at the lake" I thought that it was the right thing to because I don't want to run anymore"
Naruto gasp" wait a minute don't tell me you were holding back on him?"
She nodded sadly" yes I was tired of running and maybe it was better if I die"
"WHAT" shouted a shock Naruto he made the kunoichi look at him" Kasumichan how could you think like that getting you kill won't solve nothing I thought you will never give up"
Tears were forming in her brown eyes" I'm sorry Narutosan I just got tired of running I don't want to suffer anymore been hunted down by my own brother I just can't take it anymore I……"
She didn't finish as Naruto pulled her in a embrace she sob softly while he caress her long orange hair, he was worry for her he didn't wanted to lose her remembering the nightmare he had he wasn't going to lose her. Once he broke the embrace she looked into his eyes how she love his blue eyes so much.
"Kasumichan I don't want to lose you you're too important to me"
Kasumi blush while her heart skip a beat (first he says I'm precious to him and now I'm important to him I can't let this opportunity go to waste I have to tell him how I feel)
Naruto was confuse at the behavior Kasumi was showing once again she was acting like his friend Hinata she twiddle her fingers and her whole face was red he was now getting worry for her.
"Kasumichan are you okay?"
"Um……..Narutosan……there's something I want to tell you" she blush again facing the blond who was puzzle" I just want to tell you that I………I………I wish you the best of luck in your match with my brother"
Naruto smile" oh thanks Kasumichan"
(Why can't I tell him?) Thought a regretful Kasumi.
"Anyway I better get going now Kasumichan you're coming with me right?"
"Huh oh yes I want to see your match Narutosan"
"Good the forest is too far from here so there's only one thing to do Kasumichan take my hand"
The young kunoichi blush at first she took his hand timidly and before she knew it they were gone in a yellow blur.
At the forest it was almost time for the match Hayate was still present waiting for his opponent to arrive while Ayane wearing her ninja uniform was also present along with Ryu who was also wearing his uniform too. Sasuke and Sakura were present too just wearing their casual clothes the two were a little excited since they have been waiting for this match for quite a while knowing their blond teammate won't be holding back.
But they weren't the only ones in a café Tina, Hitomi, Lisa, Lei Fang, Jan Lee, Eliot, Kokoro, Tenchi and even Brad were present watching the match from the television of the café they this match was worth watching.
Finally Naruto arrived at the forest with Kasumi everybody saw them and by now the announcer along with the camera crew have arrived too waiting to film the match that is about to be unfold. Kasumi went to where Sasuke and Sakura were while Naruto wearing his uniform slowly walk towards his opponent, Hayate saw him walking like a lone general entering the battlefield. They were finally face to face Naruto was waiting for this match for a while and now he was finally facing the leader of the Mugen Tenshin clan to him this was a match to save Kasumi from her fate as a runaway ninja.
"So you finally come Uzumaki Naruto I thought you weren't going to show up at all"
"Hayate if you think I'm going to miss this fight then you're seriously mistaken this is a very important match for me, but before we begin how about we raise some stakes here?"
"Meaning?" Hayate said puzzle.
"If I win Hayate then you will stop hunting down Kasumichan"
The group were surprised Kasumi was more surprised to hear this.
(Narutosan what are you planning?)
Hayate gave a thoughtful and nodded" very well but what do I get if I win?"
Naruto stood quiet for a moment before giving a quick look at Kasumi" if you win then…….I….won't stop you in killing Kasumichan"
The group gasp while Hayate was still looking at the blond.
(You are that sure that you can beat me to risk my sisters fate as a runaway)" very well I accept your terms for the fight"
All of the sudden the sky turn black follow by the loud sound of thunder.
(Looks like it's going to rain and it seems it's going to be quite a storm) Ryu thought while gazing at the sky.
(This one's for you Kasumichan) Naruto thought while giving a quick glance at the orange hair kunoichi.
The announcer finally spoke" ladies and gentlemen boys and girls of all ages and the people watching us around the world we are proudly to present you the third and final match of the semifinals Naruto vs.Hayate"
