Y/N's POV
"That's a barrier jutsu?" Guy-Sensei asks, "To think that they could outwit Anbu… They're not ordinary." Kakashi-Sensei says and I sigh. An Anbu that I know is Kabuto comes in our way and 4 sound ninja jump by him, "I have some creative words running through my mind currently. So… Insert Swear word line here! What? It's too much work to actually swear." I say responding to the look Sakura and Kakashi-Sensei we're giving me. Kakashi-Sensei shakes his head and gets ready, "To think that the enemy was masquerading as our Anbu…" Guy-Sensei ponders.
"So it was also the guy who used Genjutsu!" Kakashi-Sensei success, "Yeah, Kabuto." I add then ignore the rest of the conversation absentmindedly fending off enemies. Lord Hokage… I look around to find that Kushina, Minato, Hashirama, Tobirama, and Rin are all awake. I look back and find myself face to face with 3 sound ninja.
"Give up little girl." One of them says, "Yeah, it's futile." I look around and hear a giant crash, "Snake!" They all look at me and smile evilly, "Come on squirt! Bring it on, shorty!" One taunts, Squirt? Shorty?! "Who you calling a Molecule who's so small that he fits into a raindrop and then disappears once he hits the earth's surface and can only be seen by the world's greatest telescope but even then is only a speck that can barely be seen!?" Thank you Edward, I think as the sound ninja give me a look of complete confusion I smirk.
"Summoning Jutsu!" I summon my sword and pull 6 senbon out. They all laugh, "What's that supposed to do?" I smirk and throw one and they dodge, "You can't do anything." I see Kakashi-Sensei being worried but preoccupied with other ninja. "Y/N!" Sakura shouts and I throw a kunai to hit the ninja behind her. I then turn back to the sound ninja and teleport behind one. I stab him and hit a pressure point making him pass out. I turn to the other two and they back up, "W-What's with those eyes?!" I smirk and throw the senbon. It hits it's mark in the neck and they collapse, probably dead.
Oops. Overboard? I look at the barrier and see Oro's servants covering themselves, I have to give it to them that's a smart move. I finger my ring, Eternal. I get ready to fight again. I see Baki and Gemma fighting as well as Oro and Hokage.
Hokage's POV
As Orochimaru holds the kunai to my neck he pulls it back stabs his hand, "I was kind sleepy… I find it kind of interesting how I had Y/N in this position in the forest of death though…." He says and I remember something… The tear she gave me…. No it's in the desk. "I find it interesting to watch things in motion. I get no pleasure if something doesn't move…" He says and I start to think then I say, "That's why you put the curse mark on Y/N?" I ask and he smirks, "I believe she will come. To protect her comrades." He says and I look at him, "Then you don't know her. Did you not notice who she called her mother?" I ask and he gives an amused look, "No… But you won't tell me right?" I nod
He removes the Kazekage hat and I realize, I'm going to die but…. I can try and take him with me.
Y/N's POV
We're fighting and I keep getting underestimated and beating the crap out of my enemies. Then I look over at Kakashi-Sensei as he says, "Y/N and Sakura wake up Shikamaru and Naruto. Naruto will be delighted. He'll be getting a mission after such a long while." Kakashi-Sensei says watching the battle, "What kind of mission?" Sakura asks, "You'll have to be careful. It's the first A-Ranked mission since the Land of Waves." I smile slowly, "Sensei! What do you mean? With this battle going on why send us on a mission?" Sakura reasons.
"Sasuke is chasing Gaara and company of the sand village, Sakura. We should do as he says and go after Sasuke." I tell her as Kakashi-Sensei summons, Pakkun and we get ready to go after we release the Genjutsu on Naruto. I just shake Shika and he doesn't react so I pinch him and he shoots up out of pain, "Ouch! I didn't want to end up getting involved! I really couldn't care less about Sasuke." Pakkun bites his hand and I let out a snicker. He glares at me and I laugh, "Ok guys let's go!" I say after explaining the mission.
They all head out through the hole Guy-Sensei made with the sound ninja. I was about to leave but Kakashi-Sensei grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to him, "Don't get hurt this time…" He hugged me and I hesitantly hugged him back. He let go and looked me in the eye, "Promise me not to get hurt please?" He requested and I managed a faint smile, "I can't but I'll come back alive. That I can promise." With that I turn and leave after the others. I sense Shino behind me as well and sigh, "Good grief…" I mutter.
"Hey Tobirama, Hashirama be ready to be pulled can't do much about it sorry." I think and they mutter, Right… Cause you can't do anyyything, huh? I sigh and I say, Whatever! Deal with it! The village is in trouble! I think to them and that shuts them up they still care for their village after all.
I finally reach the others, "Where were you?!" Naruto asks and I sigh again, "Don't worry I was held up by some ninja." He shrugs and Pakkun says, "I sense 9 ninja chakras behind us. Minato you good? "Yeah, thanks" No prob. I look ahead and keep running as the discuss the plan. Shika goes off on his own to hold them off and I follow the others, "Good luck Shika…" I mutter.
"We better hurry. It seem that something else is tracking Sasuke! I don't know if it's an ally or foe but… It's not human." Pakkun says and half my vision goes out. I can see where I'm going and I can see elsewhere, It's a more advanced type of your original power, The first tells me and I realize, So you're back? He just nods and I sigh.
Shino shows up and tells us Sasuke to go. Shino explains about his bugs and I watch as he starts his battle. I teleport a Shadow Clone to him and hand him an antidote for poison just to get him through his fight and hold up against it. He nods his thanks me and I give him a quick hug, leaving him blushing behind his coat, not that I could see as I made the clone disappear.
Pakkun and Sakura stop and Naruto stops by face planting into a tree. "The two people left are fighting I can smell it. We need to go around them." Pakkun tells us and I blank it out till we start moving again. I sense Shino's father showing up and the one tails coming out. You know what else the life of the Hokage fading and I let a tear slip out, Y/N… Shh.. You'll get to see him again just focus on your friends… all of them. Rin tells me and I sigh, Right…. All of them… I think as I see my vision switch to Oro and the Hokage. I hear the others in my head gasp, That's not good… It switches again but to Sasuke and Gaara, Ack! That's creepy!
The curse mark starts spreading on Sasuke but mine doesn't hurt. When I look back I gasp to see Naruto kicks Gaara away, That's right 1 vs 9 tails…. I think as Sakura looks over Sasuke, "Y/N how's your curse mark." She asks as Sasuke flinches and Naruto tells us to run. "I'm fine but he's not." I state and she deadpans at me. She gets pinned to a tree and I cut down the pain for her. I fall down but I still don't feel any pain as my vision full fades out.
Y/N's POV (Dream/Vision)
Young princess…. Your power grows…. It seems you are strong enough after all… I look around to find pitch black, "W-What?" I ask out. Suddenly it hits me, "Y-You're that demon that sent me here!" I hear a laugh, the same one, Yes… It is me. My name is Takashi Kazuto. And I will see you after this ends~ I hear and suddenly the vision switches.
I see Gaara's past and what he's remembering and I try to block it out. Tears start to fall out as I watch him cry out. It's true… why is it always us… people like us… called monsters, freaks, and always blocked out. I think Because they can only see the monsters not who you are. I hear and turn to reveal Rin, "Well how'd you get back in my head?" I ask, Once connected always connected… for better or for worse… Those are the ties you can't deny… at all. She tells me and I let the tears keep streaming out. "How long have I been out?" I ask and she responds, Thanks to that demon time passed by 10 times faster My eyes widen, "Naruto?!" She nods and I sigh, "How do I get out?" She touches my head and I fall into darkness and back into reality.
Y/N's POV (Outside of vision)
You know being greeted by the 1 tailed beast and 9 tails is not what I had in mind. I think as I watch Naruto punch Gaara in the head successfully waking him up. I make a clone and have time to think, I'm nuts, before shouting, "Shukaku! Go away!" Everyone turns to me and just deadpans except Shukaku, "But out of it Y/N!" He retorts and I gain a tick mark, "Stop bothering my friends, then! Butt!" Sasuke hits his face in the tree, "Sasuke… Don't do that. It's bad for your health…" They all stare at me and I smirk, "Ok carry on then!" Hey I tried! My clone gets ready for whatever and I feel a pain in my stomach, What?! My injuries have healed! I think.
Yeah so? Empathy links work you know? I hear from Rin and sigh, But to who? I ask and she says, You really care about the Hokage don't you? Minato asks and I nod, I really have deep bonds yeah. Why? I ask, Because if you know that person death and you care deeply for that person you can feel their pain. That and you host Takashi. I tilt my head and realize, The demon?! I ask, I guess he's the demon of gateways but he's also the Grim Reaper that I used to seal the 9 tails in Naruto Minato explains and I just facepalm when I see Naruto using the 9 tails chakra to fight. I smile and get ready as Naruto headbutts Gaara and Shukaku cracks and shatters.
They both fall and I surprise myself by moving and catching Gaara and my clone catches Naruto. I fell tears stream down my face He's died huh? I think and turn back to Gaara. Naruto starts inching towards us, "Gaara… It's not too late to find those who care…. We were all shunned…" I mutter but Gaara's focused on Naruto. He asks him why he's so strong and tells him to stay away. "That's enough, Naruto. Look Sakura's going to be ok, he's all out of chakra." Naruto faints and I smile.
Temari and Kankuro appear behind me, "That's enough, Stop here." Gaara says and I hand Gaara to Kankuro. They jump away and I shut my eyes and sigh, "I'll see you at the village guys…" I tell Sasuke as I teleport behind Kakashi-Sensei.
I walk over to everyone silently to find the third Hokage laying there. I let a tear slip out… again. I can tell the other Hokages want to say something but can't so I speak up to them, How do I do it? They all look up, Huh? I don't look at them, How do I get him… here… with you? I ask, It'll happen on it's own. Harashima says and I nod. Kakashi-Sensei turns, "Y/N?" I look at him, "I'm sorry…. I broke my promise… I got hurt." His eyes widen and he hugs me tightly, not caring for the others looks. The others understand what's going on and work silently. I just cry into his chest as he soothes me.
"Shh…. Y-You'll be able to see him again, right?" He mutters and we pull apart. I look up at the sky to find the night sky, "Yeah." I reply staring at the stars. It starts to rain and I turn to Kakashi-Sensei to suggest we get to our houses when i realize he had his mask down, crying, "K-Kakashi-Sensei?" I ask. He pulls me into a tight hug, he was shaking. I did the one thing I could think of, I hugged him back. He muttered in my ear, "I've lost so much… I don't want to lose any more…" My eyes widen and he pulls away wiping away my tears with his finger. He does something I didn't expect… He kissed me. I was stunned at the moment so I kissed back. Under the night sky, in the rain, Kakashi-Sensei and I stood there kissing. We pulled apart and I look at him for a bit.
"Y/N… I'm sorry… I didn't mean for you to see me like that." He wipes away his tears and turning away, "It's ok… I understand." I whisper as he walks to his house pulling his mask back up. W-Well… that was my second kiss. I think walking myself home.
Kakashi's POV
I just did that! I don't know what came over me! It just happened. It's late anyways… Y/N…. You've captured a lot of hearts, yet you're so oblivious to it.. When will you see it? I reach my home and go inside. I lay down on my bed staring at my ceiling for a bit. I shut my eyes letting the sleep take over and fall into the darkness. Y/N you are very special...
Y/N's POV
Today… It's the funeral. I think and walk over to my team. We head over together. It starts to rain and I stare up at the sky. Am I going to cry again? I will be there for them.. I can't feel down about this all the time… I need to move on. I think, Yet here I am…. Letting weakness show through. I look over at Konohamaru and shut my eyes, Those who I care about… why must they die? I-It's not my fault, is it? I shake my head, There was nothing you could have done… somethings have to happen, but still… Can I please save everyone? Itachi? Jiraiya? I wonder, This is what that demon meant… by weak?
I open my eyes and stare at the stone, But you're not alone. I hear and realize, D-did you guys…? Work so hard to just…? I question and they nod, Y/N… Don't cry… Even if it's raining now it has to clear up eventually. I hear him say and let a ghost of a smile show, Yes, I have to stay strong. It can't rain forever… I have to get up again because if I cry forever I can't do anything… You're right…. Hurizen. Thank you. I think, That was fast by the way. I think and see half my vision go out. Kakashi-Sensei's at the stone…. As is that girl that deeply cared for Hayate. I hear her tell him to stop making excuses for being late, But that's apart of who he is He was there at dawn I know that's why he's late but still….
I look around and see Jiraiya watching and thinking. Full vision comes back and we put our flowers down… I feel one of those special tears fall. It's glowing and I let it fall on the flower. It lets off a soft light that only those who look closely can see. I look around at all of the people, They're not crying visibly but their eyes are screaming out and crying for them. I can see it… I turn forward, It's stopped raining. The clouds are clearing. It's time I start over. We meet up in our squad and I smile brightly.
I leave to my house, So Itachi… You're here now? What shall happen next? I think to myself as I sense their chakra and smile to myself.
It's not always
The goodbye that
Hurts
It's the flashbacks
That will follow.
