Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter.
Chapter 28
Zero is currently next to Tsunade reading through there biggest book.
"The deer antler will do well for Choji. Neji's still in operation. Orochimaru's trained his body guards well", Zero says and signs sadly and stands.
"Kimimaro is currently on one of the rooms sleeping with two Anbu guarding his door, you will need to talk to him later", Tsunade says which Zero nods.
"And...", Tsunade stops and smiles seeing Tayuya currently sitting at a table being questioned by Ibiki.
"They'll be done soon", Tsunade said which Zero nods.
2 HOURS LATER
Zero and Tsunade exit Choji's room which they see Shikamaru, Temari, and Shikaku.
"He's going to be fine, he'll be out in a week", Zero said smiling.
"Lord hookahs!", Shizune yells running down the hall gaining there attention.
"Neji hyuga is safe, his condition has stabilized, and there's more, I've just heard that Kakashi Hatake and Naruto Uzunaki have returned and have been examined. Naruto's injuries are serious but not life threatening, he's going to be ok", Shizune says while Zero signs has smiles sadly.
"Just two...", Tsunade says sadly.
"Shikamaru, your mission was a failure... But... Because of you I was able to save two people as well as your entire team came back alive", Zero says to him and tears hit the ground where Shikamaru is standing.
"Next time, the mission will go perfectly...", Shikamaru says crying which Zero smiles at this.
TIME SKIP NEXT DAY
Zero is currently walking towards Naruto's room when he stops seeing Sakura at the door with a depressed look on her face.
"Your here to visit Naruto or seems...", Zero says gaining her attention which he walks to the door and opens it then walks in with Sakura. Naruto is wrapped in bandages while Shikamaru is sitting on the bed. Naruto's eye widen in shock seeing her.
"Naruto...", Sakura said which Naruto has a sad look in his eyes and turns away.
"It's seems your healing fast even with those injuries", Zero says to him smiling.
"I'm sorry Sakura...", Naruto suddenly says which makes Sakuras eyes widen in surprise at this and she suddenly smiles.
"Sorry? What do you have to be sorry about?", Sasuke says showing a fake smile and walks towards the window.
"Let me guess, you got reckless and went off without thinking again, huh. Look at you now, you look like a mummy", Sakura says which Zero's eyes narrow with a serious look on his face.
"I'm so sorry...", Naruto said looking even sadder then before.
"Hey why do you have the curtains closed, it's a beautiful day outside", Sakura says as she opens the curtains showing a bright sunny day outside.
"See", Sakura said staring outside.
"I haven't given up! Listen, I'm still going to keep my promise, after all, it was a promise of a life time, right?! I meant it!", Naruto said to her making Zero's eyes widen at this.
"It's ok Naruto, really", Sakura says to him.
"Sakura-", Zero is cut off by Naruto.
"If I say I'm going to do it, that means I will, kay", Naruto said while he then smiles looking up.
"Don't forget, my way of the shinobi means, I always stand behind what I say!", Naruto said which Zero smiles more at Naruto's determination along with everyone.
AT SUNDOWN
Zero is currently against the door to Naruto's room hearing his and Jiraya's conversation.
"Eventually your going to face enemies far worse then Orochimaru and its time you started preparing for them. The first thing is for you to give up on Sasuke. What happened was destined to happen, dismiss him from your mind and move on. To be a shinobi, you need more then strength and jutsu, you must require the judgment to make the right decisions, you must become smarter. The longer you remain a fool, the harder it will be for you to live in this world", Jiraya said to Naruto completely serious while Zero signs at this.
"Fine then, if being smarter means what you say it does, I'll remain a fool my entire life", Naruto says that surprising Jiraya while shocking Zero.
"I'm going after him, and I'll do it alone if I gave too! I'll creat my own incredible jutsu, and whenever the Akatsuki show uplink smack them down!", Naruto says which Zero chuckles to himself at this.
"He's grown since the time at the academy...", Zero thinks not caring anymore about the rest of the conversation and begins walking away.
"Maybe you can stop them and change them which I could not", a voice said inside Zero's head making him stop she look around.
"Huh?", Zero said looking around confused but shrugs and heads to another room which he passes two
Anbu guards and enters a room.
When Zero enters, he sees Kimimaro restrained by seals on his bed attached to medical supplies and a heart monitor.
"You awake?", Zero said closing the door and leans against the wall.
"Why...", Kimimaro said turning to Zero with a look of confusion.
"You've been brainwashed", Zero said angering Kimimaro.
"I wasn't brainwashed! He was the-argh?!", Kimimaro stops spitting blood out.
"Don't talk, your still very week from the disease that spread from your heart. I was able to cure you of it but you are still very week", Zero said to him and takes a seat next to Kimimaro's bed.
"We ought to understand each other, after all were Botha students of the same teacher", Zero said but Kimimaro doesn't respond and turns to the window seeing the bight sun light.
"Don't ever think you don't have a purpose, we were all born for a purpose. You may think you have a purpose but it may be different. We have both lost our clans, so I understand you. I know far more about you then Orochimaru could ever understand just by fighting you. Orochimaru once told me, if you don't have a purpose, then you should just kill yourself. But, if you make a purpose for yourself, you can survive this world. You were never apart if Orochimaru, instead a piece of him lives inside you. Even now I hope the day will come when Orochimaru will come back and Cell number 7 will return...", Zero said making Kimimaro's eyes widen in shock.
"There is no god in this world, we are all simply ninja. We are no gods, no demons, nothing except human. Orochimaru threw you away, so I'll offer you a hand", Zero said and stands up.
"Just leave...", Kimimaro says which Zero signs and turns around and leaves the room.
NEXT DAY
"You've got to be kidding me...", Zero said sweat dropping seeing Naruto tied up being dragged away by medical ninja and Shizune.
"So he's Naruto Uzumaki, that blond idiot that was sent after Sasuke", Tayuya says in bandages walking next to Zero watching the Uzumaki be dragged away.
"Yup, he's a part of your clan", Zero says and chuckles to himself watching this scene and turns to see Tayuya blushing.
"He's pretty cute", Tayuya says with a light blush as Zero turns white as snow.
"AW COME ON! I JUST GOT YOU BACK AND NOW YOUR INTERESTED IN BOYS?!", Zero yells sad that his daughter is already interested in boys. Tayuya just sweatsdrops at her fathers behavior.
LEAVE A REVIEW AND NO FLAMING.
