Naruto: Painful Heart
Chapter 3: The truth
Tuesday, Oct. 11th
Tsunade sits behind her desk, waiting for teams 7, 8, 10 and Team Guy. Along with Iruka and Anko. As she begins to think back to the time she first met Naruto, a knock on her door distracts her from the memory. Shizune walks in holding her pet pig.
"Hokage-sama, everyone you requested has just arrived. Should I send them in?" Her assistant asks.
Tsuande nods as Shizune signals for everyone to come in. Team Kakashi, Team Asuma, Team Kurenai, Team Guy enter along with Iruka, Anko and Jiraiya. As the group stands before her. She sighs as she gets up from her desk.
"I have gathered you all here to deliver some disturbing news to you all." She looks at the group and then proceeds. "Uzumaki Naruto has been missing for two days now. She has been kidnapped." As she said those final words, Hinata gasps. Everyone turns to her as she begins to hyperventilate and passes out.
"Hinata, wake up!" her red eyed sensei says as she holds Hinata up.
"But how could this be, I thought Anbu agents were supposed to protect him at all times." yelled the Sarutobi clan head. All Tsunade can do is nod her head as she is attacked with questions.
"What do you mean kidnapped?!"
"Why would he let himself be kidnapped?"
"Why would someone do that?"
"Why does he need Anbu guarding him?"
Tsunade grows a tick mark on her head as she slams her hand on the desk. Everyone shuts their mouths as the Hokage begins to explain everything.
"Every year, since his birth on Oct.10 thirteen years ago, we place Anbu to follow him for a week. Usually Naruto is able to hide away but on some occasions he is found by the villagers. Those times Naruto is severely beaten and abused by them. Anbu normally stops this but this year Naruto was taken before his guards were ready." she says as everyone just stares at their Hokage.
"But why would the villagers attack Naruto for no reason." The pink haired kunoichi asks.
"What I'm about to tell everyone is an S-class secret. No one is allowed to speak about this outside this room unless given permission by me or Naruto. 13 years ago, during the attack of Kyuubi, a baby was born. Everyone knows the Yondaime Hokage defeated the Kyuubi but that is a lie." Everyone gasps as she continues
"The Yondaime couldn't kill the Kyuubi so instead he sealed the Kyuubi in a new born baby." As those words left her mouth someone began to speak.
"Naruto was that baby wasn't he?" Everyone turned to see Sasuke.
Tsunade nods as everyone's eyes go wide as this new revelation. Jiraiya steps forwards and begins to go deeper in Naruto's story.
"Naruto has known about the Kyuubi since his first attack 6 years ago. When he was 7 years old, Naruto was beaten so badly he almost died on the table." He spoke as Hinata covered her mouth, tears beginning to form in her eyes.
"Naruto never told anyone his birthday to not worry anyone. He may be a goofball who always smiles but I know that it's all an act. 2 years ago Naruto attempted to commit suicide more than once." The sannin spoke while looking at the genin.
"That's why he wasn't in class for 3 months right?" the young Nara asked
Jiraiya nods as he continues, "Only me and Sarutobi know about this. Since then Naruto only wears his sweater to cover his scars." Sasuke and Sakura look at each other as Sakura speaks up.
"Why didn't he tell us about this? We're his teammates." The pink haired girl says as she begins to cry. Sasuke just keeps his head down.
"Why should he tell any of you about his life? You all never cared about him before. Since the academy you all shunned him and some of you actually joined in on the abuse. Naruto would have every right to be mad at this village. Everyday he gets hit by Pinky here and his other teammate looks down on him while Naruto considers him a brother. Then there is the Sensei who decided to train just one of his students while he dumped his other student with a random Jounin. So tell me, do any of you have a right to know about his problems." Jiraiya says with anger in his tone.
"But still, Naruto cares about each and every one of you. So much so that he never intended to tell you all about the Kyuubi out of nowhere that you would hate him like everyone else and believe that he isn't Naruto but is the Kyuubi." He says as everyone begins to protest. Jiraiya watches as everyone begins to tell him that Naruto is important to everyone here.
"What do you two think?" He says as he looks at Tenten and Lee. They both stay quiet. Tenten and Lee both lost their parents during the attack. Finally Lee steps up with a soft smile.
"I could never hate Naruto-kun. His youthfulness shines as bright as mine. To me he isn't Kyuubi but is Naruto-Kun." Tenten agrees with her teammate. All Jiraiya could do was smile. Tsunade sits down and begins to open her mouth to speak but is interrupted by a door opening.
"Shizune, how many times do I have to tell you to knock before-" She is cut off by her assistant as she hands her a box.
"This was left in my office and addressed to you Lady Hokage-sama." She then hands Tsunade a box with a note,
To whom it concerns,
This village has suffered enough to let this demon run around free in our village. We are putting a stop to this. We have the demon with us and he will die in no more than 6 days.
In this box we have a little present for you, Hokage-sama. Next time it won't just be this but the demon's head. After this, we will be heroes.
Tsunade opens the box and looks in horror as three fingers are in the box. She begins to have a panic attack as she drops the box. Jiraiya runs to her and holds her as she begins to have trouble breathing. As the box hits the ground everyone watches in disgust as the finds come out of the box.
"Everyone go now!" Jiraiya orders as he tries to calm down Tsunade.
"Hai!" Soon everyone disappears to begin their search.
