Sorry for the late update. I was busy with school and other stuff... And a software in my computer was interfering with me... (long story)

Sop here's the next chap!!!

Chapter 7: Father and son

He hugged Hinata like this was the only time he can. He missed her so much. That's what he felt when he saw her at the gates in Konoha. 'That's why it felt so familiar' he thought. He smelled her hair and he liked it. The fragrance was soothing. He didn't notice, but he was whispering her name all along.

Hinata relaxed at his arms, she missed this feeling so much. Now that it was back, she didn't want it to end. Reiji can wait, right? She snapped off her dream, she wanted to ask him things.

Finally, Naruto stopped hugging her and they just stared at one another again.

"Naruto-kun, what has happened all this years, I mean you're alive but you didn't-"

"…Amnesia." Naruto said. "Eight years ago, I woke up with no memory at all, just this necklace and ring. I wasn't able to investigate because-" He sensed something. He pushed back Hinata. Shurikens were flying in the air. He protected Hinata with his body. The shurikens hit the trees behind them.

"Damn, I missed." A very familiar voice said. Naruto stood up and he saw Kiba standing their. Hinata also stood up.

"Hinata run!" Kiba urged Hinata but she only stared at him.

"It's been a long time Kiba, Akamaru…" Naruto said.

"What do you mean?" Kiba asked; he then looked down on Akamaru who was wagging his tail. "Do you mean that, you're really…?"

"Yes, I am Naruto; The one and only Uzumaki Naruto!" He then threw Kiba his foxy grin. Hinata smiled when she saw that. "And if I didn't abduct Hinata-chan I wouldn't have found out that I was!"

"Amnesia, eh?" Kiba smirked. "How could a Kage level ninja like you have amnesia?" Naruto was supposed to speak but Kiba cut him off before he could, "You explain to ALL of us later. Hinata, Reiji is terribly worried, you better go back with me now… both of you has to go back with me…"

'I almost forgot about Reiji-kun' Hinata thought and he looked at the father of her son, Naruto. He was looking down at the ground, maybe he was nervous. How could Reiji take this anyway? The rogue is his father, and he did fight with him…

'This is gonna be interesting…' Hinata thought. She dozed off and she looked at the stars. After a few seconds, she felt a warm hand touch hers.

"Come on, Hinata-chan, my son is waiting…" Naruto said.

"Ok, let's go back now…" Kiba said.
-
Tsunade's eyes followed Reiji as he paced back and forth in the Hokage's office. She sighed.

"Hey kid, you're making me have a head ache. Why don't you just sit back and wait?" Tsunade said.

Reiji stopped and he stared at her. "I don't want to sound rude, Hokage-sama…but my mom was just abducted by a rogue and I don't know what's happening to her, how can I just sit back?!" Reiji exclaimed.

Tsunade sighed again, "Fine." She said.

After minutes, someone knocked at the door. Tsunade, who was really sleepy, widened her eyes. "Come in." She said. She was getting this feeling about something, but it wasn't a bad feeling.

The door opened and Kiba walked in. He bowed down. "Hokage-sama, I've found them…" he said.

'Them?' Tsunade thought. Hinata then walked in. She saw Reiji jump in joy when Hinata arrived, he rushed at her and he hugged her.

Why did Kiba say 'them'? For a while there, Tsunade thought it was just a grammatical error but, someone walked in. Someone with blonde hair, blue eyes, and he was wearing a vest and the Hokage robe. (he

"It's been a long time, Tsunade-obachan…" he grinned at him.

Tsunade grinned back at him. The door slammed open again and a pink haired kunoichi rushed near Naruto and she grabbed his neck.

"Naruto, do you know how long has it been?! Do you know how Hinata suffered when you left? Do you know how sad we all were?" Sakura continued to choke Naruto. Sasuke sighed when he walked in the room.

"That's my line." A boy said firmly.

Sakura stopped choking Naruto. All of them looked at Reiji.

"That's my line." Reiji repeated.

There was suddenly silence in the room as the two blonde males stared at one another's eyes.

Tsunade, Sakura, Sasuke and Kiba left the room so the Uzumaki family can have their time alone and so the child and the father can a have a talk.

Hinata switched her attention to Naruto and Reiji, to Naruto and to Reiji, so on and so forth. She would continually switch her attention so she would be able to keep track on their expressions. She was getting impatient; the two of them just kept staring at one another. They were staring at one another as if they were having a psychological talk.

'When would they break this silence?' she thought.

After another minute of silence, "You're quite a big boy, Uzumaki Reiji." Naruto broke the silence that seemed unnerving to Hinata.

"Mom took good care of me." Reiji said.

"In turn, you took good care of your mom." Naruto said.

"I only tried to fill in the gap…" Reiji whispered.

"You did a good job…" Naruto said. There was a slight tone in his that sounded like his voice was trembling.

There was silence again.

Hinata was still feeling unnerved. It was like the conversation the two men in her life was having was getting nowhere. And to add to it, Reiji was standing at the other side of the room, far away from the person he was talking to. Hinata was losing her hope… it seemed like Reiji was too bothered by the fact that Naruto only returned to his home just now.

Reiji on the other hand, he was confused. He didn't know what to say to the man he always looked up to, to the man that he wanted to meet so much, to the man that was known as his father. He was bothered too; he didn't know why his father just returned now. Why his father posed as the rogue. Was he just testing him? Or had he forgotten all of his memory all this time?

All if these feelings were overcame by happiness. At least his father is here, living, breathing and standing in front of him. He started to feel like he wanted to cry. Tears flowed down from his eyes, tears of joy.

Meanwhile, Naruto was sad. He felt like his own son didn't like him. He stared at the young boy. Confusion can be clearly seen on his eyes. And suddenly, the boy was crying. 'Oh no, did I do anything wrong again?' Naruto thought.

"Otousaaan…" Reiji whispered. He started to run towards his father. Naruto knelt down and he caught his son in his arms.

Naruto hugged his son tight.

"Why did you come back just now, Otousan?" Reiji asked. He sobbed. Naruto's arms were wrapped around him. He felt really comfortable and he felt Naruto's warmth as a father.

"I had amnesia… I'm so sorry Reiji. I'm so sorry that I wasn't there on your first step when you were a baby, I'm so sorry for all... my son…" Naruto started to cry too.

"Otousan, it's alright, I forgive you but please don't leave us anymore…"

"No I won't… I won't…" Naruto replied.

"Hey you two there, you better stop crying! It's no time to cry because we have to celebrate, right Reiji-kun?" Hinata cheered them up.

Reiji wiped away his tears. "Yeah, we have to celebrate for Otousan's return!!!" he grinned at Naruto.

"Oh you have the same smile like I have!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Of course, I take on after my father!" Reiji said

"Come on, it's ramen time!" -
They were all there, Naruto, Hinata, Reiji, Sasuke, Sakura, Mayu, Neji, TenTen, Shiro, Shikamaru, Ino, Shikamaru and Ino's son (unnamed), Lee, Chouji, Shino, Kiba, Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma, Gai and Tsunade. They were all there eating their late dinner. (Remember that at the start of Part 2, I wrote that Ichiraku is much bigger now.)

"You're a Genin, eh?" Naruto asked his son.

Reiji nodded and he continued to slurp his noodles.

'Genin at 8, wow…' Naruto thought.

"You know Naruto-kun…" Hinata whispered.

Naruto looked at Hinata.

"What?" He asked.

"Iruka-sensei told me that Reiji was number one at his class in the academy."

"Really?" Naruto smiled. He then patted Reiji, who was preoccupied with his food, on the head. Reiji looked at him.

"What's the matter Otousan?" He asked with an innocent look that made Naruto smile.

"Nothing, I'm just REALLY proud of you…" Naruto gave Reiji a warm smile. Reiji grinned at him. Hinata watched the two and she smiled.

'I'm glad they get along with each other good…' Hinata thought.

After a few minutes,

"Oi Naruto, aren't you gonna tell us what happened to you all these years?" Kakashi asked.

"Fine, I will tell you all." Naruto replied. The ramen shop then became very silent. Everyone was focused on Naruto.

Flashback: (Naruto's point of view)

Konoha troops arrived at Suna. We just stood there before its gate wondering if they were really under such condition. The village wasn't destroyed and it was VERY quiet.

"Naruto-sama, are you sure we must help? Look at it, it's not even destroyed and it looks very peaceful in there, so quiet…" A jounin beside me said.

"Silence doesn't always mean peace. Sometime it brings the sign of death…" Shikamaru said and he yawned. I still stared at the gate. Every single troop waited for my command. (Let's say he took 5 chuunins and 5 Jounins)

Indeed, the village was very quiet. But its silence was not the kind that brings peace. I sensed that there was a tint of death in the village's atmosphere. The wind that passed them and brushed against them brought sand with them. I closed my eyes a little and I saw a heavily bandaged sand-nin walk towards us. He was running as if he had no more time.

He stopped in front of me and he was panting heavily.

"Hokage-sama, I'm glad that you have arrived and have come to help us… we want to express our appreciation but there is no time! Kazekage-sama is in the midst of the battle with Kyuubi! It has been going on for days and we have lost quite a number of ninjas. Please, come with me!" The man urged us and he ran. We followed him towards an empty desert.

At the very moment I saw Kyuubi, anger filled me. I was very angry but I was able to stop myself from charging at Kyuubi. I scanned my eyes around the area and I saw that there were many sand-nins lying on the ground. I also saw Gaara who was pretty exhausted. I commanded the medic-nins that I took to save anyone they can save. Only I, Neji, Shikamaru, a chuunin and 2 jounins were left to fight. I rushed near Gaara. Neji, Shikamaru and the chuunin and the jounins did their best to stop Kyuubi.

"Gaara, are you alright!?" I asked Gaara. Like I said, he looked very exhausted. He panted heavily and his left arm was bleeding. He whispered something that I didn't hear. "What did you say?" I asked. His eyes then changed, it looked very determined.

"This is my duty Naruto…" he stood straight and he took out a soldier pill from his pouch. "It's my duty not yours. I will protect Suna with my own hands!" He said. He took in the pill.

"But you sent a request for assistance!" I retorted at him.

"Damn that Kankuro, he still managed to send those requests… II told him not to get others in trouble…" he whispered. Naruto quickly looked at his troops and he saw that they were still doing alright. The moment I looked at Gaara, I was very shocked. He was quickly turning into the Shukaku.

'This is too much! They wouldn't be able to control this situation anymore. I have to send the others back to Konoha…' I thought and I shouted at them that they have to get the others and they have to go back inside the village. Gaara who still had control told them too. Being the obedient ninjas they are, they went away but Neji and Shikamaru wanted to stay.

"Go now!" I urged Neji and Shikamaru.

"I agree." Gaara said. Half of his body now was covered with sand.

"Hinata won't forgive us if you die!" Shikamaru retorted at me.

"Ino and TenTen would curse my soul if you two would die!" I tried to joke but nothing was funny about what was happening. "Damn it, go!" I shouted at them. I turned around only to see a fully transformed Gaara. Gaara sent a wind attack at Neji and Shikamaru to force them to go. After that they were both gone.

Gaara sent an attack at Kyuubi. Kyuubi avoided it.

"Oi Kyuubi why are you here?" I shouted. "I thought we have an agreement?"

Kyuubi glared at me and God that made me angry.

"I… can… lose… my self… seven days… before full moon…" He said. He then growled.
He charged at me with his claws, he was as fast as me and he hit my arm and my cheek. I was only grazed by his claw but damn I was still wounded. The Shukaku then growled. I turned around and I saw that the real Shukaku had taken over. I wondered why and then it hit me, Gaara was very exhausted and his body might have given up. Kyuubi then grabbed my robe and he pulled me down at the ground. The next thing I knew I was lying in the ground unable to stand up because Kyuubi was holding me down with his paws.

"Hah, I found the one I want to kill! Kyuubi finally we meet!" The Shukaku shouted.

Kyuubi lifted his paw and I was able to stand up. I then saw Gaara sticking out of Shukaku's head (AN: Was it the head?) I jumped up and the Shukaku hit me with his wind attack. I was sent miles away. I had scratches, bruises and wounds around my body. My robe was ripped and bloody. I rushed back where Kyuubi and Shukaku were and I saw Neji and Shikamaru scramble back to where we were.

"Damn it, I told you two to go away!" I shouted at them and I jumped up. I jumped at Shukaku's head and I punched Gaara. He opened his eyes and he stared at me. I could hear Shukaku curse me when that happened.

Gaara looked at me with a confused expression. "What happened to you? Who did this?" He asked.

"Shukaku did this." I replied. Gaara then turned his head and he saw Neji and Shikamaru.

"What are they still doing here?" Gaara asked.

"They don't want to leave me here alone."

"Damn it, the two of you have to go away NOW or I'll bury you two in sand!" Gaara threatened them. I jumped down to the ground and I glared at them. Gaara did another wind technique that ALMOST hit the both of them. I saw Neji and Shikamaru look at me worriedly before they left.

Then I felt great Chakra coming from Gaara.

"You better leave now… Uzumaki Naruto…" Gaara whispered.

I looked up at him.

"What are you going to do?" I asked.

"…Sandstorm…" he replied.

I widened my eyes. I haven't seen that technique of his before. I didn't know how much damage it would cause. But I was determined to bring down Kyuubi. So I glared at him and he glared back at me. Red chakra was then leaking out from him. I didn't know what was happening but he was growling and the chakra was wrapping around my body. It tightened around me and Kyuubi approached me. Gaara then unleashed the sandstorm, when the sandstorm got thicker I was knocked out. I didn't know how. But the last thing I saw was Kyuubi' human form wrapped in chains and he was whispering something… something like "Save my son."

"Kyuubi, human?" Asuma asked.

"Long story…" Tsunade, Hinata and Naruto said in unison.

'Kyuubi?' Reiji thought

Back to the story, when I woke up, I had a very painful head ache. I couldn't move my body and my body hurt. I scanned the room and I saw a man in his fifties looking at me.

"Where am I? What happened to me? Who am I?" I asked. I couldn't remember a single thing. The man continued to stare at me.

"You don't remember anything?" he asked. His voice was cold. He looked at me coldly too.

I merely nodded because my body was really in pain that time.

"I don't know what happened to you and I don't know who you are. As for where you are, you are in the Hidden Rain village." He said.

He helped me recover but he wanted me to work for him… for eight years. During those eight years, I must only work for him and after those eight years, I am free and I would be bale to investigate about myself.

End of flashback.

"That explains a lot." Chouji said.

"Otousan, can we go home now? I'm sleepy now…" Mayu said to her father.

"Ok…" Sasuke replied.

"Well then, it looks like it's time to go home…" Naruto said.

Kenji watched the beautiful moon from his room in a small village in the Fire Country. He sighed. He didn't know what would happen to his colleague. But he felt something, a hunch that he wouldn't be able to see the rogue again. And then he felt presence beside him. He turned around and he saw his master.

"Did I bother you, Kenji?" The hooded man asked Kenji.

"Not much." Kenji said. He stared at the moon again. He didn't want to see that man, that murderer, but he knew he must even if this is the last time. "What do you want?"

"Have you ever read anything about the 'Seven Day cursed seal'?"

"Yea, I read about it once when I was 12 in your library Jiro-sama." Kenji replied.

"I have a new mission for you…"
