PART 13

TRYING MY BEST TO SPAM OUT CHAPTERS BEFORE I GO BACK TO SCHOOL AGAIN ON SUNDAY

"He's been like that since he woke up, refusing to eat, drink or communicate" Tsunade informed jarayia as they looked at the blond from above, he had been chained up ever since he was captured and sent down here, it was just a few hours ago until he was unchained and allowed to move around to loosen his stiff his bones. He continues to give quick glances at the two of them, something both noticed by haven't gotten around acting on it. "We'll have to get information the good old fashioned way then" he told her as he cracked his knuckles, Tsunade immediately pulling him back. "Don't you try it!" jarayia scoffs and loosens her grasps on him, "might I remind you; he's a rogue ninja 1, he assaulted the leaf 2, he nearly blew everything away" she shot back a stern look at sage, "he attacked us and guess what? Nobody was severely injured and I know that isn't anything to write home about but I think you and I know both know he wouldn't kill a bunch of innocents"

"How would you know? He could have changed within 4 years" jarayia argued back. "If he wanted people to die don't you think he would have targeted only the center of the event… rather than try to spread us thin…. He was being manipulated" she ended with a rather soft tone and continued "but if anyone could get to him, it's probably you…. So you can't lose faith in him". Memories of the time Jarayia and the boy spent together flashed through his head, she was right he couldn't just give up on him but to attack his former home…. It reminded him of that snake….he betrayed everyone and their friendship for greed and corrupt power he wouldn't let that happen to Naruto, no it would never happen to him.

"You're right, I'll talk to him first but if that fails…." Tsunade nodded at the sage getting the implication of the situation but what shocks her the most is when she sees jarayia holding a white rubber bag probably full of ramen and hopping down to the blond. The moment he lands he can feel his chakra being reduced to just a little whim, 'so this is how it feels' he thought, the number of high of ranking criminals are brought into these caves which have rare crystals in them which block chakra flow and circulation just to the point were jutsu's cannot be weaved. Naruto stares at his Godfather as he walks towards him, 'ramen? He wants to bribe me with Ramen?' he shouted in his mindscape. "May I?" Jarayia asked as he sat down on the ground to join the blond, he examined the blond for the first time in 4 years. His hair was almost the same of not identical to his father's own, on his face he still had those whiskers apparent and his blue eyes nothing had really changed just the fact he'd gotten taller. "want some?" the sage offered to the blond who looked away originally but after a few seconds looked back at it, "how do I know it's not poisoned?" he asked as he closed his eyes to meditate.

"Good question…. You can trust me that it's not poisoned" he assured the blond who laughed, 'yeah sure' he thought. There were a few minutes of silence before the sage decided to speak up again. "Why did you attack us?" Naruto for the first time in a few minutes look at the sage, "you think that was an attack?" he laughed "I have no reason for 'attacking' the village" he emphasized on attacking and closed his eyes again. "That's interesting… well you better think up a reason kiddo"

"why's that?" Naruto shooting his first question at the sage, "otherwise you'll be heading over to Danzo" Naruto broke into tears of laughter, eventually pulling himself together, "I'd kill him" he stated coldly and plainly. "But fine let me play your game…. I'll tell you guys why on one condition"

Jarayia walked back up to Tsunade who shot him a look, "well! How did it go" she desperately needed his response. "Fine…. Just a crazy demand" he stated as he started to walk out, "he was just the distraction" Tsunade sighed as she knew the plot is just slowly being revealed, "what did he say he wants?" jarayia stopped walking and laughed "nothing"

Yugao sluggishly walked into her room, 'what fucking kind of day was this' she thought as she threw herself unto her bed. He was alive and well you know! He was fine but on the other hand he attacked the village, he nearly destroyed all of them but it does not seem to affect her, the last part she's just glad he's back. 'I mean is that really naruto, I mean of course it's him but it's not…Naruto loved the village so why would he then attack! Something didn't add up! Uhhhh' she groaned mentally all this was giving her headaches, she hugged pillow as her eyes felt heavy. 'I have to talk to him myself'

Naruto meanwhile had been summoned to the council, "Naruto Uzumaki" one of the council women yelled, "Namikaze, you forgot that part" he stated plainly such stubbornness caused the members to whisper. "You think you can disgrace the name and legacy of your father?" Danzo spoke up, glaring at the blond, Naruto stared back with a smirk plastered across his face. "Itachi sends his greetings" the speech of that name enraged Danzo, Naruto was suddenly being restrained by four anbu's. "Tsunade, why's he here" he asked enraged.

"To decide the action going to be taken against him" Jarayia speaks up from behind them. The room then becomes silent and the meeting is then about begin until an anbu suddenly informs Tsunade about it. "It anonymous" she says as the anbu beside reads out the letter.

Dear hidden leaf, treat this letter with all seriousness! We require and demand the life of the Naruto Uzumaki, however you choice to inform of this letter him is up to you! We demand the demand the boy alive and your village will be spared from the onslaught of the Akatsuki and pein…. Failure to comply immediately will results in a series of attacks. If you give him up, you'd be ensuring peace for your village and all the other nations. Lest you'd rather let him commit another homicide or make the tables be turned, all is up to you! -The Akatsuki

The room goes silent as every member of the council begins to ponder, How'd they find out soon? There's no way they're giving up this boy to that group of mercenaries. But now they're all intrigued on the activities of the blond during his 4 years absence. "I think it's safe to speak for everyone when I say; he has to be locked up as well as his mind interrogated" Danzo spoke up, the following silence that engulfed the room was a testament to their agreement. "You won't be getting far with the interrogation… because I won't be telling you anything" Danzo and the rest of the council ignore his comment, "I have a place where we should keep him, very few people know about it" the council began mummering, it was obvious that they didn't have full trust in him and he was well aware of that himself but if there were no other options they'd have to comply. "Instead…how about setting me free and I disappear again…." The council shot glares at him, most likely for talking without permission. "stop talking? Okay I will" he comments.

"Then I'll assign some of my men to the job" Tsunade adds to the man's suggestion, which was not according to his plan, "I have very capable men…yours will not be needed" he stated plainly at the female Hokage. "Then I cannot motion for this plan" she says as she gets up from her seat, about to move out the door, signaling the anbu's to bring the blond along with her. Before she can exit however, Danzo plays into her desires leading her to return to her seat. "As well as that I'll receive daily reports all activities occurring" Danzo was reaching his limit, she was trying control and suppress him however he unwillingly nodded and with that meeting was more or less over. Naruto sighed as he was to follow Tsunade out, and he met the glares of the villagers. Somethings never change I guess, he whispered. At least they had no idea who he was, the council was ever so kind to keep his identity a secret so let him dawn his mask and attire. As he looked through the crowd his thoughts trailed elsewhere, How stupid was this? He was dragged here by the dumbest of reasons. Why didn't he just refuse Itachi in the first place, Why didn't he just stay hidden instead of attacking, what is keeping from making his regular decisions. He didn't understand!.

"Well how did it go?" shizune asked Tsunade as her gaze shifted to Naruto who's mind was obviously somewhere else, something that pissed off the blonde hokage. "You know you could at least pay attention" she yells at the blond who's mind still seems distant. Feeling a nudge in the back he's brought to reality and looks behind him, the anbu with the demon mask stared him dead with his crimson eyes shining through the mask. "what is it Sasuke" he asked non chantly, Sasuke is just a tad bit surprised when Naruto blabs out his name. "Lady Hokage requires your attention…..dobe"

Turning to look at Tsunade, basically giving her permission to talk. "Who do you think you are! Talking all that rubbish infront of the council… you….. ughhhh" Tsunade groaned as she walked away leaving Naruto, Sasuke and Shizune alone. Shizune can't help but stare at the masked criminal infront of her, failing to comprehend how this was the little Naruto. Sasuke reading the scenery gather's around the anbu talking to them, probably giving them new orders, creating a window of opportunity for conversation between the two. Shizune examines the blond, preparing how she'd begin the conversation. "umm Naruto is that really you?" she can't see his face but she can tell he probably had a confuse look all over his face, "in the flesh" she heard him respond, her face lit up and immediately turned gloomy. "so you really attacked us then?" she asked him to which he nodded, "why" he could not give such a witty reply to Shizune like the one he gave Jarayia originally. She looks at him intently for an answer, nothing comes out of him before she could ask again Tsunade returns and the troop continue to the Hokage residence. The rest of the anbu's are released by Sasuke and the crew go into the confinement Naruto was in before, "Not here again!" the blond whines before he is unstrapped, pushed in and locked.

Tsunade and Sasuke begin to discuss how the new situation should be handed, Yugao suddenly walks through the door. Tsunade sighs as she knows that's going to be a huge problem in a few seconds, she shares just a quick glance before she sees where the blond is being held. Her attempt to enter is blocked by Sasuke who shakes his head at the kunoichi, Yugao looks at Tsunade, her eyes piercing the Hokage's gaze. "Let her through Sasuke, I'm too old for this" Tsunade says as she proceeds to leave upstairs to the office, Sasuke follows which leaves Shizune alone with Yugao.

"You know jutsu can't be performed here right? So don't hurt him" Shizune informs the purple haired kunoichi as well as shooting her look but the serious look on Yugao's face quickly shatters her character and she leaves. She enters the room and looks to the blond, "Drop the mask, Naruto" Naruto almost immediately dropped to the ground, revealing his face which has been plastered with an indifferent face. "Not the reaction I expected" he states in a mockingly fashion before he swiftly dodges a punch from her, "This space isn't wide enough for us to be-" he's suddenly cut off as he blocked another one from her, using her hand she pushes to blond to the wall. Now with his back against the wall and the elbow of Yugao on his throat he stares directly into her eyes, they look their full of anger…. But on the other hand they look full of sadness. "why" she simply asked him as she continued to apply pressure on him, "I told you I didn't mean it! So why?" He only stared back at her, so that's why she's mad?. "I've always regretted saying what I did as well the actions I did over that period" He continued to stare back at her, she slowly removes her elbow from his neck, leaving the blond gasping. "you've been carrying all this nonsense in your head for 4 years thinking I'd forgive you now" a tear rolled down her cheek, "I forgave you 4 years ago" he said with a soft smile plastered across his face. "So then you attacked for different reasons and not because I caused unimaginable pain?" Naruto sighed, "don't remind me and yes my reasons were different" she wiped her cheek and smiled at the blond before serving one of this biggest hit to the nuts. He grasped his crotch as he sunk to the ground, "why'd you ever attack us? Are you dumb?" the blond still holding his crotch.

She joined the blond on the ground as she lay beside him and stared at the ceiling, "so then why did you attack us" she asked him staring at the blond now as she moved closer to him intertwining their fingers together. "I don't know. If I'm being honest, maybe I just wanted to see you?" she blushed after she heard the last part and looked at him square in the eyes. "if that's the reason then you're crazy…..especially after war crimes you committed" Naruto's heart skipped a beat, "what are you talking about"

"I know what you've done, I've seen you in action before….I just didn't know it was you but the moment I saw the mask on you after your attack… I knew it was you" Naruto turned his face so he could face hers. "and you didn't tell anyone?" he asked a bit surprised. "It would make your case worse and offlate the villagers are trying to come together to bring down the Akatsuki, it would create unnecessary conflict." She said but she was cut off by a peck from the blond. "Thanks" he said.

"No problem" she said as the two enjoyed the rest of silence.
