Disclaim: I Own Naruto! Yes, I created it! Me! All mine! MWUHAHAHA
I wish.
Author's note: Gomen Nasai, minna-san. This is my first try at a story remember so there's going to be A LOT of mistakes. By the way this story is going to have lots and lots of twist and turns, there is a reason behind the name "Twisted Sight", it bounces around going back and forth between different scenes like in Chapter1 , first it's Tsunade with the kunai being pulled on her, most of you probably know who it was, then Sakura who is thinking over things, like how cold Sasuke is, then Sasuke and his turmoil going on inside of him , then back to Tsunade who is musing over the recent event that has just happened to her. Sorry I kinda forgot to put those little star thingy's in(***) Thanks to GWFascination for pointing it out too. Anyways here's some things to help understand the story a bit more.
"Blah"-Talking
'Blah'-thinking
Blah- it happened in the past, so think of a flashback
'Blah'-someone talking in the past or flashback what ever it's called!
/Blah\ - It's a person's inner self talking, just think Inner Sakura,
****- New scene! Remember it!
Then the Japanese words, which are few, I was going to put more since sometimes I add them in while speaking English.
I you have any questions just email me. Now On WITH THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Twisted Sight
Chapter 3: Thinking Things Over
"You're probably wondering why I have called all of you here." Tsunade looked over her most loyal and respected shinobi. She sighed leaning forward, resting her hands on the table in front of her, suddenly looking weary . "We have a situation on our hands." a pause. "I had no choice, but to cooperate." she pulled the kunai out from beside her and placed it down, a feeling of dread and confusion radiating from the group of men and women.
"Hokage-sama?" she turned to see a young jounin shifting ever so slightly under the weight of many eyes. "What does a kunai have to do with this?" he trailed off, eyeing the weapon wearily.
"This." she picked it up with the uttermost care as if it would break. "is a gift and a warning depending on how look at it. I see it as both." she past it to the man to her left. "Kakashi." the jounin looked at the kunai, then to the Hokage's face. She turned to the many eyes. "The Kitsune has returned." if the group had been any other people, the room would have broke into chatter. But these weren't ordinary men and women, these were shinobi, shadow men, ninjas, they had many names, all meaning the same thing. These were the children of the night.
"Naruto?" someone whispered the name in a hushed voice.
"Yes, Iruka. Naruto is back." the shinobi in question brightened.
"He's come home! I knew he would! He never abandoned us!" his laughter died down. "Right?" his eyes seemed to plead to the Godaime, she in turn kept her gaze steady.
"I'm sorry, Iruka." the man's face fell. Tsunade turned her eyes away from him. "Uzumaki Naruto, is not to be trusted, but." she sighed. "I have taken the bounty off of his head for the time being, we are not to attack him while he is here."
"This is madness!" Tsunade's eyes became slits.
"Hyuuga Neji, I see you have a different opinion on this?" the jounin bowed his head.
"Forgive Godaime-sama for my out burst, but. Why are we letting the 'traitor' walk freely behind our walls? All of us combined could defeat him easily." Tsunade's gaze hardened becoming steely.
"Hyuuga, I expected more from you." the nineteen year old bowed his head again. "Never underestimate the enemy, he may not even be here to harm. The Naruto we knew would protect his home with his life, I did the only thing I could do. He gave me two options, the first being to let him walk freely or the latter, to have Konoha destroyed." the tension in the room doubled, like a heavy weight was placed on their shoulders. "No one is to attack him or his followers, if you value your lives."
"When does he arrive?" Tsunade looked down at the kunai once more.
"In three days."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The shinobi slowly started to single file out of the room leaving the fifth Hokage, who in turn was hunched forward ever so slight and head bent shielding her face.
"Kakashi, I wish to speak with you alone." the silver-haired shinobi paused, letting the others move around him until only Tsunade and himself were left.
"Hai, Hokage-sama?" she glanced at the jounin, his visible eye staring straight ahead with no emotion.
"Kakashi, I know this news affects you the most out of everyone besides Iruka."
"Hai, Hokage-sama." his voice was dead-pan.
"And that is why I'm ordering you to do this for me. When this 'treaty' has ended between the kitsune and Konoha, if he poses as a threat, to my people similar to that of Orochimaru." Kakashi turned to face Tsunade, a feeling of dread washing over both of them.
"Kill him."
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
The streets were empty by the time Kakashi decided to head home. Every piece of new information buzzing in his head and all of it rotating around a certain blonde shinobi. The very thought of that, child, doing something so out of ….character was unbelievable!
'And yet, at the same time….' maybe his age was starting to catch up, when was his birthday again? Last September?
'Naruto, what are you doing?' he stared at his student with a questioning gaze.
'Thinking.' Kakashi raised his visible eyebrow. Naruto thinking? Now that was something new. 'Have you ever felt like something was missing?' he had started to notice some changes in his student, very small ones that most would not see. But it had been something in those sky blue eyes that made him think twice, if the go lucky attitude he always seemed to wear was more then just some giant charade.
'Yes, I have.' Naruto nodded his head once and kept silent. 'You can go back to sleep, Naruto, you're shift is over.'
The copy ninja looked up, finding himself at the edge of the village staring at three trees. Even after all those years, the marks looked exactly like they did when they were first made. A ghost of a smile flickered across Kakashi's lips, Sakura was the first to master the chakra technique on the first try, as for Sasuke and Naruto? He had to drag the two away before they killed themselves trying to beat the other to the top of the tree. To some other person the very top marks on both trees were the same, if the person wasn't a shinobi.
'No matter how hard you tried, Sasuke was always one step ahead of you in everything.'. But things changed.
He was late, like usual, but this time it was different. Behind that door was another group of three genin for him to fail, like the others before them. This was the very last place he wished to be in, but what the third says goes. Children, he grimaced, were not his thing, he didn't *hate* them per say, just couldn't stand being in the of one presence for long periods of time. He might as well get it over with before and opened the door, only to have a chalk board eraser, full of…..chalk hit him on top of head all the while having a short blonde laughing at him…...children… defiantly were not his thing.
Kakashi sighed being drawn back to the present, the most unsettling feeling filled his being. If his youngest student did pose as a threat, Kakashi could feel bile in his throat.
"Don't think like that." he scrowled refusing to believe where his thoughts were heading.
"Naruto wouldn't betray us." /He could though, you've seen it so many times before, why would this case be any different ? \ he shook his head willing the voice he'd heard so many times within his life to leave. It only caused trouble, doubt, and pain. /And if he does betray Konoha? Do you have the strength to eliminate him? \ Kakashi one eye hardened, he stared up at the stars which winked back at him.
"Yes."

*Kuroi's second Note: I have to think things over and try to make the chapters waaaaaayyy longer then they are now. BUT! I promise to work harder and try to post them every other day, school is super annoying right now and I despise art with a passion, I want to draw anime, but nooooo we have to draw 'realistic' STUFF! By the way for those of you wondering…I'm very sorry….I'm not making this story into a yaoi. Please don't hurt me! I may in some other story, but not now. There maybe some romance in "Twisted Sight" If there is I'm going to have to figure out who is coupled with who. Hey Naruto might even be paired up with my original character I'll be adding in very soon. Oh and Naruto is going to be MAJOR OOC! Arigato to all those who reviewed my story, and don't forget, feeling free to scream and rant all you want at my work. If it gets my attention I'll see if I can change things!
Sayonara! Kuroi Kitsune
