Disclaimer : Of course, the naruto series is not mine... if it was... hinata would appear more frequently and theyed get engaged in the series (you gotta love both of em) well... Naruto, Hinata-san, Ino, Sakura, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Kakashi and some other minor/major characters are NOT mine i tell you!!! (but i wish they were... TT)
How can I tell you? - Chapter 12 The truth revealed
------------------
naruto and the others arrived at The Kazekage's house....er.. lets say Mansion. There were rooms everywhere... If they didnt keep their eye on Tenma then They'd really get lost... Hinata looked at the blonde ninja beside her.
"umm.... Na-naruto?"
Naruto looked at Hinata in confusion,
"What is it Hinata-chan?"
For some reason Hinata felt like following her instincts and she just held naruto's hand. She flushed red hot at the moment, realizing that what she did was practically a 'self-destruct' trigger. Naruto, however... was trying to comprehend what hinata did.
"H-hinata?"
"...naruto... dont let me go o-okay?"
Naruto turned scarlet.
"uh.... yea... sure..."
----
kana giggled at the sight. Naruto and Hinata haling hands like they were and item.
"hey... Ino-san... Look at Naruto-sensei and Hinata-san... holding hands..."
Ino (and temari who was eavesdropping) raised an eyebrow.
"sensei?" Ino asked the brown haired girl,"
Everyone stopped and looked at kana with confusion, Temari was thinking...'Sensei? now this girl's gettin suspicious...'. Kana slapped herself to her senses.
"Gah! I mean... Na-Naruto-san! That's right! Naruto-san!"
Kana hugs Naruto on the back. Hinata sweatdrops at her.
"well... I guess we heard ya wrong... sorry kana..." Ino said to Kana after she let go of naruto.
Temari gives a bad glare at Kana.
'this girl... she just met Naruto and She calls him by 'san'... she's good at lying, and I better find out what she's hiding...'
"soon..."
Shikamaru looked at Temari with a confused look.
"hnnn? what 'soon'?"
"Nani mo nai! (its nothing!)"
Shikamaru hangs his arms on the back of his head and walks
"yeah...okay..."
'Mendokusee onna...' Shikamaru thought to himself in his usual 'annoyed tone'.
temari sighed, and grabbed Kana by the hand.
"hey, what are you doing to kana-chan?" Naruto asked when he saw temari practically dragging the poor girl. Temari had already put her hand over at Kana's mouth, preventing any sound fom coming through...
"uh.... er... Kana and I have something to talk about... Riiiiiight?" Temari said to kana, She looked so scary... Kana had no choice but to nod.
"okay... we'll just see you later at the cottage...see ya... okay, hinata lets go?"
Hinata blushed when Naruto Looked at her.
"uh... O-okay....umm...na-naruto-kun..."
-----
Temari dragged kana Into a room and closed the door shut, she wanted to 'interview' this 'liar'.
"okay... speak Kana..." She said crossing her arms.
kana became quite nervous,
"Wh-what are you talking about Temari?"
"Youre lying... I see how many people lie to me and my siblings at The Sand village... and what youre acting makes no difference... speak the truth..."
Kana looked defeated and sat on the floor.
"but-"
Temari sat beside her and patted her on the back.
"Dont worry... I can keep a secret If i have to... just speak the truth..."
"...but... are you sure? that you wont say anything to Shikamaru, Ino, and the rest?"
"sure I can..."
"well... dont laugh... or call me crazy... okay?"
"if its something serious, why should I laugh?"
"well... It goes like this...."
"...it goes like this.... Its true.. I lied to all of you... I had to..."
Temari crossed her arms again.
"why the lying?"
"I might disturb the time-space curriculum..."
"so... that means you came from the future...?"
kana nodded.
"Yes... I came from a time exactly 10 years from now..."
"uh huh... okay... details?"
"umm.... My father, Is really Nara Shikamaru..."
temari stood up in surprise,
"oooooh! so... who's the lucky girl?"
Kana looked sad.
"she was lucky... my father wasnt... It was kin.... I dunno about her last name but..."
"so Ino isnt your mother?"
"no... she died... Otousan told me he loved her very much.... but..."
"how?
"my father seemed so depressed about the subject so as much as I can I try not to talk to him about it..."
Temari Sat down again.
"explain why you look like Ino if you are Kin's daughter..."
"uh... Otousan wanted me to look like this... he said it'd make his really happy if i could be like the original Ino..."
'geez... Is shikamaru that much of a lover? heh...' temari thought to herself.
"oh... what about the eyes...?"
temari Pointed at Kana's 'supposeably' Blue eyes...
"oh this... Contact lenses!" kana said as she carefully took one off her eye, revealing a raven black colored eye, " see?"
"ooooh... Tell me... if you came from the future... how in kami's name did you get here?"
------- (kana's story [her POV]) ------ It was 10 years... and 3 nights after this day... father said, Ino died while helping Naruto sensei try to get rid of Orochimaru. Neji and Chouji had Died... Ino also died for an unknown reason... Hinata-san was said to be kidnapped by Orochimaru's heir... and Naruto-sensei, You, Sasuke, and My father was the only one's who were able to survive... Konohagure was completely destroyed 4 years later... no one, except me, Kin, you, My father, and naruto escaped from that living hell....
[you said that that Uchiha survived his first battle with Orochimaru's heir... what happened to him?]
He gave himself up... It was either him, or Orochimaru will Kill Sakura's 'living soul'...
[Living soul?]
yes... according to Tsunade before she had died on the war of konohagure... (after she did some reaserch on some legends regarding life...) that in a person's body.... there are two souls... the living and the Unconcious...
[I dont get it...]
Gah.... mendokusee... so, I was saying.. The living soul is a soul That resides in us when we are still alive... The other one is a special soul, Its the soul that would be 'sent' to heaven when we die.... Otherwise, the Eternal thing that resides in all of us...
[oh... so... what does it have to do with the maidens?]
oh lots! The maidens have two souls like any other human... however, they are capable of activating the Unconcious even when they are still alive...
[so then why did orochimaru's heir want the maiden's souls anyway?]
To take their Unconcious souls... Without two souls, a person/oracle or anyone for the matter, would be what we call... brain dead... living and dead at the same time... The maidens's special unconcious soul represents the four 'ingerdients of eternal life...' Fire, water, wind,' and lastly,' earth...'
[now tell me... what exacty happened that you just came back 10 years in time?]
one... Naruto Sensei had killed himself... due to the fact that he cant accept that Orochimaru had forced Hinata into marring him and conceive a child...
[that's sad... how about me and kin?]
Its simple... Kin killed you... Dad killed Kin because of that... since sasuke was already gone... I, myself, and Otousan were the only ones left...
[but get to the point! how the hell did you get here?]
----scene (its a script-type thingy...)----
"take this scroll kana...
Future Shikamaru gives Kana a scroll.
"what is this...?"
"Its a secret...just take it with you... open it when you arrive at your desination.."
"but where am I going!?"
"youre going away for a while..."
"bu-but where father!?"
"be silent... things will change kana..."
They both enter a dark room... it was lit with candles and there was a man standing in the room... It was orochimaru's heir in sasuke's body...
"oh... So the two survivors of konoha have come to their surrender...?"
Shikamaru smiled annoyingly at orochimaru
"no.. But in fact... Ive come to make a trade..."
Orochimaru (on sasuke's body) raised a eyebrow...
"ahh... and what would that be?"
"the scroll of eternity and my life... for the price of taking my daughter back in time..."
Orochimaru smiled and licked his lips
"ah... that is a good deal... give it to me..."
"no... take my daughter back to the past 11 years from now... only then I'll give you the scroll..."
Orochimaru threw a red marble at Kana and when It reaches her, It had enveloped her whole body in a red glow.
"fa-father! you couldnt!"
Orochimaru turned to Shikamaru.
"now... the scroll?"
Shikamaru passes the scroll to Orochimaru while the glow on Kana's body started to erase her from her existance at that time.
"father! no! please!!!!"
It had seemed Shikamaru couldnt hear anything that Kana had said, The glow had already reached kana's neck when Orochimaru had opened the scroll and realized that he was tricked. He turned angryly at Shikamaru who was laughing.
"hahaha... like my joke stupid baka?"
"you... will die..." Orochimaru shouted at him as he held Shikamaru's neck and choked Him dead.
"Nooo! father...!!!!!" kana managed to shout out before she totally dissapeared.
------------------end of Kana's story..------------
Tears had fallen in kana's lap, every single memory throdded back into her head... It was painful... First the only person she looked up to (naruto) had died, and then the last of her family had died as well...
"I... Cant... take... it...." Kana shouted as she cried on temari's shoulders. Temari couldnt help but to express a deep sympathy for the poor orphan.
"Its okay... your father had a reason... he wants you to live..."
"...and also... he wants me as much as possible... to not meet any of you..."
"why not?"
"it'd destroy the track of time... but I swore to myself... I'll change history completely!"
Temari widened her eyes in shock.
"wait a sec... completely? but youre part of the time That you wanted to change..! you'll dissapear with the time you changed!"
"...I'm going to prove I can be a ninja... I'll bring back Konoha's honor... by doing so..."
Temari couldnt say anything... It was a really nice sight to see a child with such courage... she was even willing to be erased from history just to make the world right. She patted on the back the Brown-haired girl and stood up.
"heh... I promise I wont tell anyone... in fact... I'll be your guardian while youre still alive.."
Temari gave her hand to Kana, helping her stand up.
"thanks..."
"okay... so we better check on the others... I dont wanna wait for hours in that darned cottage..."
"heh... okay temari..."
-----------------
Meanwhile, with naruto and the rest... theyve been waiting for the Kazekage for about an hour and he still didnt come.
"damn! we came here early? jeez... is this any way to treat us? making us wait so long?"
Sasuke Raised an eyebrow.
"hah... its only an hour naruto..." Sasuke teased.
"but its STILL an HOUR for the love of god...!"
Hinata poked naruto at the back.
"umm... naruto... maybe you should sit down..."
Naruto gave a small sigh and sat down on the floor.
"gah... okay... but if that guy gives another hour... im gonna charge in on him...bleah."
Gaara looked at the two... 'hmph... love isnt true... its only a word invented to make a mockery out of life... you live and then you die... that's what life is...'
Then someone opened the door, It was a teenage girl wearing a green loose kimono that exposed her shoulders, (think ayumi from rurouni kenshin) and wore two pigtails that made her long light blue hair seem thicker, was carring some cups and a teapot on a golden tray.
"Hiiiiiiii! are you ninjas?"
Neji looked at the girl, "so what if we were...?"
"Im Izumi! Mizuno Izumi! Nice to meet you all!"
Shikamaru looked lazily at the girl.
"hnn...? this girl looks like she's even more hyper than naruto before he became a jonin..."
"naruto? who's he?"
Naruto stood up.
"I am..."
Izumi circled naruto, looking at every inch of him.
"hmm... you dont look like a jonin..."
Ino burst into laughter.
"hahaha! hear that naruto? next time you'd better wear your jonin vest... everyone's thinking youre still a genin...!"
"that's not funny ino..."
"well... to me it is..."
Izumi looked around, and met everyone, she saw sasuke, neji, and Shikamaru... then ino, Hinata, and kankuro... The last one she saw gave her starry eyes. She walked up to gaara.
"oh! oh! you! tell me your name!"
"gaara... gaara of the sand..."
"you... youre...cute..."
Everyone was shocked, especially sasuke and naruto who had practically choked themselves thinking everything they heard from this girl was soooo unreal...
"dont look at me like that girl..."
"and why not? youre cute enough..."
Ino sweatdropped.
"heh... seems like everybody has firsts... even gaara..."
Shikamaru laughed.
"yeah... like you had one..."
Ino punched the lazy chuunin on the head as usual.
"well... I do! and I wont tell you who!" Ino said blushing a pale pink.
gaara was having a hard time getting the girl to back off of him.
"leave me alone..."
"oh no I wont... I like you a lot!"
"I'll kill you if you dont..."
"and so? i can kill you faster than you can..."
Gaara stood up.
"Hmph... shutup... kill me if you can..."
Then before Izumi could reply... The door had opened, revealing Tenma with the kazekage...
"Izumi!" the Kazekage thundered on the blue-haired girl, "dont be rude... get off of our guest..."
"oh hell... yeah... yeah... sure..." Izumi shrugged as she sat next to Gaara.
The kazekage looked around.
"so... you are the promised Konoha ninjas? am I correct?"
Naruto looked at the old man.
"hah... yeah... and we also have some friends from suna to help..."
The kazekage raised an eyebrow.
"...hnn...? would that cost something additional?"
everyone fell flat on the floor.
"jeez... no...!" naruto shouted at the Kazekage.
"ehem... so lets talk..."
then someone opened the door... it was Temari and Kana.
"hey guys what's u- oh.... sorry kazekage..." Temari said to everyone as she and Kana entered the room.
'how imprudent... typical of the ninja's from suna...' the kazekage thought.
The kazekage cleared his throat.
"okay... shall we continue?"
------------------
The meeting had gone on... the Kazekage was explaining why this mission was regarded as a class A. It had something to do with orochimaru's heir... and the medicine that Hinata will give to hana...
"so... um... you mean... I have to revive... her...?" hinata asked, twiddling her fingers.
The kazekage nodded.
"yes... in anyway possible... sorcery, anything, just bring her back..."
"well... I can revive her... but.... It's only temporary... and..."
Naruto slammed his fist on the floor.
"wait a sec... how come this IS a class A mission while the only thing we gotta do was take hinata-chan to wind country?!"
Shikamaru decieded to butt in...
"Naruto... dont you get it? if orochimaru gets hold of hinata's special reviving medicine... we'll all be toast... since the medicine relieves the soul that the person drinks..."
"otherwise... if orochimaru gets it... he'll be able to find a way to live forever?" Neji asked
"looks like that neji..."
"its good you all understand what's at stake... we cant let Orochimaru's heir live forever if what were after is getting rid of him... all clear?" the kazekage said to the confused nin.
Naruto looked at hinata.... he saw that she was extremely worried.
"hey hinata... everything will be okay... I bet my life on it..."
hinata looked at Naruto, blushed for a while and smiled.
"...thanks... naruto-kun..."
"okay... I'll be up for my nap now..." the kazekage said to everyone aloud.
Shikamaru raised an eyebrow.
'geez... first late... then takes a nap...'
"hey shikamaru! the kazekage sounds more like ya..." naruto noted.
"hnn....? no way... people like me are never kage material..."
"that's because I'm kage material!"
Sasuke looked at Naruto with a unconvinced look.
"and when this dobe became hokage... I bet the cows would learn to fly..."
"dont underestimate me Sasuke... I'm a better Jonin, hokage, or anything that you could ever be...!"
"oh? when we get back...lets ask haruko about that... (haruko is the star pupil of Naruto's Genin group)"
"oh... and I bet Hinata believes me... right hinata?"
naruto looked at hinata with a smile, hinata blushed a while before reponding,
"uh... I believe in you naruto..."
naruto turned to Sasuke,
"see?"
'the girl's infatuated with you... it doesnt count..jeez' Shikamaru thought as he observed the dispute.
-------- Due to the quarrel of Sasuke and naruto, they didnt notice that tenma had left the room moments ago... not knowing what's happening to him... behind the door.
"well... that was Fun..."
Tenma touched his face.
"the MEdiCInE wILL bE MINE!"
He took his hand off his face, and the skin melted when he touched his own skin... and the gentle blue eyed tenma was only a disguise... unveiling a Green eyed man, filled with hate.
"HEH...I'LL GET ALL YOU HAVE NARUTO...AND HINATA'S ONE OF THEM..."
----------------------
Okay... that goes the end of chapter 12. It seems tenma and kana had lied to us ne? (is angry at both of them)
Tenma : hey... dont get mad at me... Im just following YOUR script... kana: er... It was needed Mika! I had to! It was-
okay okay.. whatever. School is only a night away right now... and I bet I wont be able to do much of any fanfics with tons of homework... (shrugs) anyway... thank you for supporting my fic... see you all when I get to it... (sweatdrop)

Meanwhile, with naruto and the rest... theyve been waiting for the Kazekage for about an hour and he still didnt come.

Sasuke Raised an eyebrow.
"hah... its only an hour naruto..." Sasuke teased.

Hinata poked naruto at the back.

Naruto gave a small sigh and sat down on the floor.
"gah... okay... but if that guy gives another hour... im gonna charge in on him...bleah."
Gaara looked at the two... 'hmph... love isnt true... its only a word invented to make a mockery out of life... you live and then you die... that's what life is...'
Then someone opened the door, It was a teenage girl wearing a green loose kimono that exposed her shoulders, (think ayumi from rurouni kenshin) and wore two pigtails that made her long light blue hair seem thicker, was carring some cups and a teapot on a golden tray.
"Hiiiiiiii! are you ninjas?"
Neji looked at the girl, "so what if we were...?"
"Im Izumi! Mizuno Izumi! Nice to meet you all!"
Shikamaru looked lazily at the girl.
"hnn...? this girl looks like she's even more hyper than naruto before he became a jonin..."
"naruto? who's he?"
Naruto stood up.
"I am..."
Izumi circled naruto, looking at every inch of him.
"hmm... you dont look like a jonin..."
Ino burst into laughter.
"hahaha! hear that naruto? next time you'd better wear your jonin vest... everyone's thinking youre still a genin...!"
"that's not funny ino..."
"well... to me it is..."
Izumi looked around, and met everyone, she saw sasuke, neji, and Shikamaru... then ino, Hinata, and kankuro... The last one she saw gave her starry eyes. She walked up to gaara.
"oh! oh! you! tell me your name!"
"gaara... gaara of the sand..."
"you... youre...cute..."
Everyone was shocked, especially sasuke and naruto who had practically choked themselves thinking everything they heard from this girl was soooo unreal...
"dont look at me like that girl..."
"and why not? youre cute enough..."
Ino sweatdropped.
"heh... seems like everybody has firsts... even gaara..."
Shikamaru laughed.
"yeah... like you had one..."
Ino punched the lazy chuunin on the head as usual.
"well... I do! and I wont tell you who!" Ino said blushing a pale pink.
gaara was having a hard time getting the girl to back off of him.
"leave me alone..."
"oh no I wont... I like you a lot!"
"I'll kill you if you dont..."
"and so? i can kill you faster than you can..."
Gaara stood up.
"Hmph... shutup... kill me if you can..."
Then before Izumi could reply... The door had opened, revealing Tenma with the kazekage...
"Izumi!" the Kazekage thundered on the blue-haired girl, "dont be rude... get off of our guest..."
"oh hell... yeah... yeah... sure..." Izumi shrugged as she sat next to Gaara.
The kazekage looked around.
"so... you are the promised Konoha ninjas? am I correct?"
Naruto looked at the old man.
"hah... yeah... and we also have some friends from suna to help..."
The kazekage raised an eyebrow.
"...hnn...? would that cost something additional?"
everyone fell flat on the floor.
"jeez... no...!" naruto shouted at the Kazekage.
"ehem... so lets talk..."
then someone opened the door... it was Temari and Kana.
"hey guys what's u- oh.... sorry kazekage..." Temari said to everyone as she and Kana entered the room.
'how imprudent... typical of the ninja's from suna...' the kazekage thought.
The kazekage cleared his throat.
"okay... shall we continue?"
------------------
The meeting had gone on... the Kazekage was explaining why this mission was regarded as a class A. It had something to do with orochimaru's heir... and the medicine that Hinata will give to hana...
"so... um... you mean... I have to revive... her...?" hinata asked, twiddling her fingers.
The kazekage nodded.
"yes... in anyway possible... sorcery, anything, just bring her back..."
"well... I can revive her... but.... It's only temporary... and..."
Naruto slammed his fist on the floor.
"wait a sec... how come this IS a class A mission while the only thing we gotta do was take hinata-chan to wind country?!"
Shikamaru decieded to butt in...
"Naruto... dont you get it? if orochimaru gets hold of hinata's special reviving medicine... we'll all be toast... since the medicine relieves the soul that the person drinks..."
"otherwise... if orochimaru gets it... he'll be able to find a way to live forever?" Neji asked
"looks like that neji..."
"its good you all understand what's at stake... we cant let Orochimaru's heir live forever if what were after is getting rid of him... all clear?" the kazekage said to the confused nin.
Naruto looked at hinata.... he saw that she was extremely worried.
"hey hinata... everything will be okay... I bet my life on it..."
hinata looked at Naruto, blushed for a while and smiled.
"...thanks... naruto-kun..."
"okay... I'll be up for my nap now..." the kazekage said to everyone aloud.
Shikamaru raised an eyebrow.
'geez... first late... then takes a nap...'
"hey shikamaru! the kazekage sounds more like ya..." naruto noted.
"hnn....? no way... people like me are never kage material..."
"that's because I'm kage material!"
Sasuke looked at Naruto with a unconvinced look.
"and when this dobe became hokage... I bet the cows would learn to fly..."
"dont underestimate me Sasuke... I'm a better Jonin, hokage, or anything that you could ever be...!"
"oh? when we get back...lets ask haruko about that... (haruko is the star pupil of Naruto's Genin group)"
"oh... and I bet Hinata believes me... right hinata?"
naruto looked at hinata with a smile, hinata blushed a while before reponding,
"uh... I believe in you naruto..."
naruto turned to Sasuke,
"see?"
'the girl's infatuated with you... it doesnt count..jeez' Shikamaru thought as he observed the dispute.
-------- Due to the quarrel of Sasuke and naruto, they didnt notice that tenma had left the room moments ago... not knowing what's happening to him... behind the door.
"well... that was Fun..."
Tenma touched his face.
"the MEdiCInE wILL bE MINE!"
He took his hand off his face, and the skin melted when he touched his own skin... and the gentle blue eyed tenma was only a disguise... unveiling a Green eyed man, filled with hate.
"HEH...I'LL GET ALL YOU HAVE NARUTO...AND HINATA'S ONE OF THEM..."
----------------------
Okay... that goes the end of chapter 12. It seems tenma and kana had lied to us ne? (is angry at both of them)
Tenma : hey... dont get mad at me... Im just following YOUR script... kana: er... It was needed Mika! I had to! It was-
okay okay.. whatever. School is only a night away right now... and I bet I wont be able to do much of any fanfics with tons of homework... (shrugs) anyway... thank you for supporting my fic... see you all when I get to it... (sweatdrop)
