Recap
"No we don't want your money, we want something else." Tadase said.
"Well what do you want?" Sasuke said starting to get annoyed.
"We want you to continue our demons lives." Utau said.
"Or you can go and get your friend back by yourself knowing all the while you might kill her in the end." Tadase said.
"You bastard." Naruto said.
End Recap.
Naruto then launched off at Tadase with a growl, his eyes going red with black slits giving anyone who dared look at him would have the chills. As soon as he came within reach of Tadase he brought his arm in and shot it back out aiming at Tadase. The shot was stopped by some invisible barrier between them. The barrier was disturbed so it then violently against the disturbance which was Naruto sending him across the room into the walls.
Sasuke saw Naruto going into battle and soon followed. Naruto's body went flying past him but he paid no mind to it knowing that he would get back up and charge again without a thought. He threw a couple of kunai's with explosive tags attached at the end at Tadase but it was only reflected back at him. Sasuke had to dodge his own kunai's, but he wasn't discouraged he continued to assault the barrier in front of Tadase relentlessly. He looked up he saw that Utau was looking straight at him and shaking her head.
Then a voice sweet as pie entered his mind, "Sasuke-kun just stop attacking them, your only provoking Tadase to do more. If Tadase-kun does not finish this spar soon I will. So don't worry." Sasuke was thoroughly shocked he looked at Utau to see a small smile on her face and he couldn't help but smirk back. So he got to his feet and went to the side and leaned against the wall watching and waiting.
Tadase noticed what Sasuke did and couldn't help but raise a questioning eyebrow at him, but at the corner of his eye he saw yellow sun hair rising from the rubbles he turned his attention to him. All he did was look at him with a smirk and cross his arms across of his chest and that pose enraged Naruto more than it should have because he once again flew towards Tadase. This time when his fist touched the barrier, Tadase caught it and brought Naruto within the barrier. Naruto screamed in anguish, it felt as though his skin was on fire and only his arm was within the barrier.
Sasuke couldn't stand hearing the shouts of pain planned to intervene but saw the look Utau was giving Tadase, it was the exact look that Sakura use to give to Naruto whenever she was losing her patience with him. So he stood back and waited for the wrath that was about to be unleashed. He winced when Naruto started screaming bloody murder while also screaming, "Teme get your ass over here and AGHHH".
Utau had enough of this foolishness and raised her hand to occupy the space on Tadase shoulder, but Tadase didn't heed this warning and kept on pulling Naruto inside the barrier. From a onlookers point of view it just looked like a harmless hand on a shoulder but what happened next shocked Sasuke and Naruto to the core. Tadase too screamed in pain and fell to his knee, he let go of Naruto and tried rising his hand to remove her hand but seemingly the pain was unbearable. He couldn't even lift his arms to relieve himself of the horrid pain. Soon enough the hand was off his shoulder and the wailing turned into deep gasp for air. Tadase toke a few deep breaths calming his raging heart, stood up and glared at Utau.
"What the hell was that for?" Tadase asked raising his voice.
"Your were being an idiot, not my fault." Utau said as she shrugged.
"I wasn't being an idiot, I was…" Tadase broke off.
"See I told you. You didn't have to make Naruto suffer that much for it you know." Utau said in a reprimanding voice, "Naruto-kun how are you feeling? Is the burning gone?"
"What in the name of ramen was that? Could you teach me?" Naruto asked getting all excited.
"Naruto you baka why would I teach an idiot a technique like that?" Tadase said only to get smacked on the head by Utau and groan.
"Tadase be nice! Naruto-kun is only asking. Gomen Naruto but we can't teach you that technique, remember what we said about us being Immortal sannins we are only allowed to pass this information onto the next generation." Utau explained.
"But Dragon taught Sakura, so why can't you teach us?" Sasuke asked.
"Because Dragon isn't teaching her Dragon's technique he is teaching her similar jutsu's but with a difference. The jutsu that he is teaching her is from an ancient clan that have jutsu's that can relate to Dragons power, so if anyone ever suspected they would automatically think that it is original and when they attack they are in for a world of pain." Utau pauses and looks at Sasuke and Naruto checking if they were following her. She then continues, "So if Sakura were to ever battle with Dragon she would surely be over powered by him and in worse cases killed."
"What? Sakura-chan is strong! I don't think you even know how strong she is." Naruto said.
"Kid, to us she is merely a jounin. That's how her power is compared to us! Dragon isn't stupid; he was and still always will be a dumb ass genius." Tadase yelled, "Kukai was always smart, I still can't believe it that he would fall into the darkness like that. Even if it was for us, he should have trained and gotten power the way we did! Every day I have to hear Utau cry herself to sleep. I have to face myself and see that I have failed as a friend and as a brother. Do you know how hard it is to live on like this? That is why we are asking you to continue our lives so that we may rest in peace and you can continue our legacy."
"You want us to suffer you crap? Hell no!" Naruto yelled.
"Baka you won't exactly suffer our crap but you feel the problems of those who do." Tadase said.
"So basically you are asking us to?" Sasuke himself was confused.
"Well.." Tadase started and got cut off by Utau who hit him over the head making him fall face first to the floor.
"I am sorry but I am going to say it bluntly. When both of you have children, out of all of them, one of them will be carrying the spirits of Phoenix and Tiger while being who they truly are." Utau explained a bit, "The spirits of Phoenix, Tiger and Dragon are interlinked all those 3 children will be born in the same year with a few months in difference. Each of them will bear a mark of the spirits. Phoenix's mark is a sakura flower. When she uses her mark will light and is made visible." Utau turns around lifts a part of her shirt aside showing them the mark she has.
It was beautiful mark. The Design was so elegant yet Powerful. The Sakura flower was coloured purple, pink and black. A Sakura flower is when the delicate petals of a Sakura tree are joined together to make a flower. The innermost petals where pink, the petals in the middle were purple and on the outer most petals they were black.
"Tiger's mark is of a rose which has pierced through a shield and Dragons mark is a lily, symbol of death." Utau's voice had gone down to a mere whisper towards the end of her sentence.
Tadase turned around and unbuttoned his shirt and let it fall of his left shoulder revealing the mark. It was so beautiful. The rose was so realistic that Naruto almost raised his hand to touch it. After a few minutes Tadase pulled up his shirt and covered the mark.
"Any questions left?" Utau said.
"What about Dragons? Will Sakura also be carrying the spirit of Dragon onto her children?" Sasuke asked.
"No Dragon had already made a deal with the Nara clan. One of their descendants will bear Dragon." Tadase said.
"Thank god." Sasuke whispered but was heard by Naruto.
"Oh teme worried about your Uchiha brats that you will have with Sakura-chan?" Naruto teased and got hit on the head by Sasuke who had a tiny blush on his face.
"This is nice. So you have more reason to save Sakura don't you Mr. Avenger." Tadase chuckled, the Mr. Avenger comment reminded Sasuke that Itachi was the one who had guided them this way. Becoming cautious he took out a Kunai and pointed it at Tadase.
"Teme what are you doing?" Naruto asked confused.
"What connections does Itachi have with both of you?" Sasuke asked not even bothering to answer Naruto.
Naruto quickly recalled what had happened before arriving here. He too got out a Kunai and pointed it towards Tadase.
"Itachi is just an associate. What do you want to know?" Tadase asked with a smirk knowing what the Uchiha was talking about.
"Don't play coy with me, baka. Why did Itachi lead us to you?" Sasukes' voice growing rougher by the word.
"Sasuke-kun don't be rash here. I will explain everything to you if you are willing to be patient and having an open mind and heart." Utau requested gently. Her voice brought a sting to Sasuke eyes, her tone was exact his mother had used on him whenever he couldn't get a jutsu right, but his defences will stay strong.
"I want you to explain everything to me right now!" Sasukes sharingan activated by its own. Naruto confused on what to do, whether to stand by Sasuke or stand back and listen.
'Kit! Listen to me!' a voice screamed in his head.
'What is it now Kyuubi!' Naruto yelled back in his head.
'Stand back, let Utau-chan explain and everything will get clear. I don't sense any bad intentions from them, maybe a little from Tadase but non from Utau.' Kyuubi said.
'I trust you Kyuubi, don't make me regret that.' Naruto threatened.
'What ever kit.' Kyuubi voice faded.
Naruto shook his head as he came to and saw that Tadase had Sasuke in a head lock. He shrugged it off and went to stand next to Utau. Utau smiled at him gently and moved aside to give him his space. They started chatting in a soft voice while Tadase and Sasuke roughed it out.
Sasuke saw Naruto going to Utau and yelled, "Traitor!" but then Tadase had punched him in the gut catching all of his attention. Sasuke the lifted his leg to give Tadase a swift kick but that was evaded and Sasuke then blocked and avoided series of punches and kicks that were aims at him.
Sasuke quietly studying the way Tadase moved so he can figure out an opening to knock him off his guard. After a few minutes of observing he found one, he took his chance and punched Tadase, giving him a bloody lip.
Tadase looked up at Sasuke in shock but that quickly turned into amusement and just to freak Sasuke out a bit, he licked up the blood and gave him a smirk that sent chills up his spine.
Sasuke noticed that his bloody lip healed efficiently and wondered that was cause of the power of the spirit within him or was it his own power, but Utau's voice rang out to explain.
"Demon Spirit are completely different from Demons. Demons are a whole different person even if they get along with you; Spirits are practically the same person as the holder. While demons and their containers can switch consciousness, spirit can only do that while their container is only an infant and is being threatened but after the experience f revealing themselves they will begin the training of the containers whenever they sleep."
"So in their dream they are being trained by the Spirits and when they wake up they are being trained by a sensei wont that tire them out?" Naruto asked from the side.
"No because in their dream they are thought mentally and they have to practise it out in real life physically. The Spirits will know when to be strict or soft, so you don't need to worry about your child getting tired." Utau said and smiled at Naruto which made him blush bright red.
"Listen I don't want to fight but you will tell me what Itachi's true intentions are or there will be hell to pay." Sasuke asked with a light tone but anyone could sense the dangerous undertone.
"Heard that line too many times." Tadase teased and yawned just to get on Sasuke's nerves. Rage rekindled in his eyes. Sasuke was planning to charge ahead but couldn't. He tried to twist his head to look at Naruto but couldn't. He was starting to panic, wondering what is going on with his body. When he looked straight ahead his eyes met grey eyes staring right back at him. He saw Tadase lift his hand as to strike him and closed his eyes waiting for the impact. He felt nothing. He opened his eyes to see Tadase frozen as well.
"Utau! Let me go!" Tadase said, more like yelled but his voice came out small.
"If I do that you're going to hit him for no good reason and this will never end." Utau said as if it was already obvious.
"Just wanted to show the kid to respect us." Tadase replied like a little boy caught stealing desert before dinner.
"You will never gain his respect like that you idiot. Haven't you learned anything in the past century that we have lived? Seriously I will never know what to do with you." Utau sighed out, rubbing her temples to calm herself.
"Well you never have a problem handling Kukai!" Tadase teased. He loved seeing Utau face go red hot at the mention of his name, but he also hated seeing the after effect in her eyes; hurt and sadness.
"Kukai? Who is he? I thought you loved Tenshi?" Naruto started shooting questions after hearing a new name.
"Tenshi is a cover name his real name is Kukai. I don't know why he would keep such a sissy name when he left." Tadase answered with a shrug.
"Can you please listen to me Sasuke-kun?" Utau pleaded.
"No I won't! My love is out there getting hurt and I can't do anything to protect her! My idiotic brother is out there living when I have to avenge my family and here I find out that there is a chance that he may be a good person! So I will not listen peacefully until my questions are answered!" Sasuke yelled, his sharingan spinning wildly.
"Teme calm down. They will explain everything if we just don't jump to conclusions. I have trust," Naruto said but seeing that Sasuke was glaring at him he quickly added in the end, "Weird trust but Kyuubi is completely faithful to them so that's reason enough for me."
Sasuke was in pure conflict whether to just attack them and get the information he needed, or if he should listen to Naruto and get all his answers peacefully. He was hurting, he felt empty. The hole which Sakura use to fill with her love and presence was once again empty. All he wanted right now was one of her warm hugs. He just wanted it all over; he wanted a lot of things, but destiny wasn't kind to him. He felt two warm, soft arms encircle him and pull him into a soft embrace. He didn't care who it was he just wanted peace now. So he returned the hug and rested his head on the shoulder.
It was Utau who hugged him. It was Utau who felt his pain.
"Tadase I think its time to reveal everything to them. From the beginning I don't care if its long you going to do it for me understand? But not right now let them rest the night tomorrow morning I give you my word as a Phoenix and a person. " Utau said as she knocked Sasuke out and Tadase did the same to Naruto.
"Yes Utau-chan dont worry." Tadase said as he put Sasuke on his other shoulder and carried him and Naruto to their rooms.
"Tadase no funny business. They may be the ones who can finally free all 3 of us." Utau voice lingered in the halls.
