Chapter 5:

Intertwined souls

The shinobi of Hidden Leaf were not really sure how to deal with this situation. They may have survived the gruesome trials that the sound nin had lain before them, but this… Many shivered. The mere POWER that radiated from the young man and his followers was unbelievable. To think that they had once called this boy before them a failure was almost unimaginable.

Guilt, shame, anger, hatred, sorrow, and loneliness…Every dark emotion they knew, and even several they no experience with cornered and rounded them up, scrunching their minds, and leaving those who were the most susceptible breathless. Oh, but if they only knew, those very feelings had plagued their blonde kitsune his whole life. However, he had dealt with those torturous emotions and was far stronger then even those closest to him had ever thought possible. But as most already know, a human's brain works in many ways, strength equals power. Greed. Jealously. Hierarchy.

Those were the very thoughts going through the mind of Uchiha Sasuke. The slightly childish rivalry he'd once felt burned back anew, but with a different emotion than pride, pure jealousy. A rumbling chuckle snapped the Anbu member out of his dark thoughts.

"Well, old hag? Are you just going to stand and gawk?" the question was being directed to their Hokage. The blonde looked behind him for a moment. " We." he paused as if thinking something over. "are all tired and it is best for questions to be answered behind closed doors." He made a quick gesture at the closest of his men, who immediately melted away. "I hope you have room in the hospital."

"Yes, you're right." It was the way in which the Hokage watched Naruto that made others curious, as if she were looking for something. As to what it was, who knew? Then the godaime did something had thought to expect. She smiled. "Welcome home, Naruto."

The boy in question paused in mid-stride, with his cloaked back turned to them.

"This is not my home."

"Did you hear?" The whispers clouded the air, sounding more like the buzz of insects then human speech.

"-fox child-"

"the demon finally took over-"

"he looks more like an animal then human! That's what I've heard-"

The faint tremble in Sakura's body grew.

"red eyes……and saber-like teeth-" Rock Lee was just as tense, his own shock and anger building inside. The chuunin sitting in front of him wasn't supposed to know of Uzumaki's return just yet. And now he had….

He had just failed one of the trickiest assignments ever given to him. Sakura stood quickly and stormed out the exit.

"Sakura!" Lee reached out to her once he had caught up.

"Don't touch me!" she cried, slapping his hand away, the angry screech as the angry screech echoed in the distance. Lee took a step back, raising his hands in defense upon seeing the rage of Inner Sakura blazing to life. "You bakayaro! Don't ever touch me again! I hate you!" she snarled out, lethal venom oozing through every word, and into the brushy-browed boy's heart. "You knew all along! Didn't you?!" Lee's head fell forward, dark bangs shadowing his eyes. "Answer me!"

"Yes."

Sakura straightened her back, erasing every emotion from her face. Turning away from him, she reached around her neck and dropped an item to the ground.

"I never want to speak to you again, Lee. Goodbye."

{One walked away despising,

the other went with sadness.

But in fates wake,

two left with a Broken soul and heart.}

And there, where she left it, was a small silver star, the very gift he had given to her.

"I heard the Kyuubi's back in Konoha." A man wearing a forehead protector around his neck spoke quietly to the two men on either side of him. The tallest of the three, looked up from his meal and belched rather loudly.

"You mean that kitsune brat? I thought he was a missing-nin now. What was his name again? Naruke, Naru maybe? No, that's not it either.."

"Naruto?"

"Yeah! That's it, Uzumaki Naruto."

"Hush!" Both men turned to their last partner; he in turn glared at them. "It's forbidden to speak that name! Miruto! Especially in these woods," he whispered, looking about nervously.

"Calm down, Ushii. You're way to superstitious sometimes. It's not like something would suddenly reach out and -" He stopped, noticing his friends' looks of shock and fear. "What?"

The trees blurred into dark variations of green and brown, making him feel blind. He couldn't breathe, his pale eyes widened. His windpipe was being squeezed. No air could reach his gasping lungs, but….

As soon as the pressure started….it stopped…..

Miruto fell forward on his hands and knees gasping for air.

'What the hell just happened?!' A cold wind brushed by his shaking hand making the hairs on his neck stand on end. Nothing was there.

"Ushii! Kinta!!" The muted echoes of his panicked cries were his only answers as a heavy silence closed in on him, like a animal in a cage far too small to sustain it. Sanity slipped away with every breath into his burning lungs.

But it wasn't until he felt the unnaturally cool breath hitting the side of his face that his fear finally broke him down.

"Where issssss thisssss Kitssssunnee, Uzzzuummakki Naruuto?"
