Chapter four: reason for living

Yondaime was amazed as he watched his hand become more and more transparent.
"Yoda-san... ano.. whats wrong with it?"
Yondaime didn't answer. He just looked at his hand. How could this happen? He felt whole enough. He didn't feel the tug of death. Why was he disappearing?
"Yon...Yoda... what's wrong?" Asked kakashi, appraoching him.
"Hinata-chan... you can use Byuukugan, right?"
"Ye.. yeah..." yondaime was going to hit his head for such a stupid question if is hand wasnt disappearing.
"you can see chakra, right?"
"hai..."
"Activate it and look at me." She paused then did what she was told. after a few seconds her eyes widened and she gasped.
"what do you see?"
"yoda-san.. your... your... a... all chakra..."
there was a moments silence until kakashi figured out what she was talking about.
"Hurry! let's go to somewhere secluded so you can dispell henge! hinata, you go with him. I'll get Naruto."
"Come one hinata, we'll head back to the training grounds." the two set off with out a moments hesitation. while kakashi headed to the ramen stand.

"naruto, we got a situation! hurry up and come with me!"
"but what about gaara?"
"he can come to just hurry!" naruto paid the old man at the ramen stand and they headed out. "you go to the training grounds while i go and get tsunade!"
"Ne! kakashi-sensei! what's happened!"
"Never mind that now Naruto, just go!" naruto did what he was told and kakashi headed for the Hokage house.

"Tsunade!" Yelled kakashi as he burst into Tsunade's office.
"Whats the meaning of this kakashi?"
"I'll explain on the way there, but you must come quickly!"
"I have a lot of paper wor..." Tsunade paused and thought. "Ok, let's go."

naruto and Gaara arrived at the training ground and naruto stoped short. He couldn't believe who he saw in front of him.
"You... your..." naruto looked, winde eyed, at the tall blonde in front of him. The Blonde, in turn, looked back at naruto with stern, fun, loving eyes.
"Hello, Naruto-kun." At that point, Kakashi and Tsunade had arrived. Tsunade gasped as she saw who stood in front of her.
"Yon... Yondaime... But.. but how..."
"That what i brought you here to help find out. Really, i wasn't that worried about it until my hand started disappearing." He said half laughing half smiling.
"we had hinata take a look at him and its appears his all chakra."
"I...umm..." hinata started, but then fell silent.
"Yes hinata-chan?" Yondaime pushed.
"I.. ano.. heard some where... that... ummm... that... well... It wasn't exactly chakra that i saw... but... but it was like it... it was like... another type of energy... other then chakra... kinda like..."
"Shakra..." Tsunade gasped.
"Shakra?"
"It's like a ghost, or spirit. It's kinda like energy left behind. If there's enough of it, then it can take on a type of pysical form. it can talk, think, and even intereact with other people. I guess you can say, it's chakra for the dead in a way. But... it's very rare... The only way it could possible be down is if the will of the spirit is stronge enough not to go to death or a failed summoning of sorts... but.. i don't see any of that being possible."
Kakashi thought for a moment then his eyes widened as he remembered. "I know how it happened! When Orochimaru tried to summon him to fight against Sandaime. Sandaime Interfeared with the summoning!"
"orochimaru must have been to far along in the summoning that he still summoned the spirit, but it took longer to get here!"

naruto just stood there confused. "how would that explain his hand disappearing? Is he dieing again or something?"
"I dont think so." Said Gaara. "its probably because of the henge he was using. Since he doesnthave any chakra and he litarlly is, living energy, it had to take it from somewhere. The more chakra he uses, the more of him that disappears."
naruto folded his arms and looked away, "I know that." he grumbeled.
"But... umm.. ano.. his hand... its normal now... He.. can he.. replenish his energy?"
"Not his own energy, i believe. Instead he takes energy from other places. Like plants, animals, or even us." Explained Tsunade. Yondaime felt a little weird with them talking about him as if he wasn't there.
"So i should just be careful about ho much energy i use."
"Correct. that probably means you shouldn't go through town to long doing henge, or do any major jutsu." explained Tsunade further. There was a tense silence amoung them as they all thought about all they had heard, until.
"Growllll" There was afew sweat drops amoung them as they all looked at Yondaime, who just smiled nervously.
"heh heh... even if i'm just a spirit, i still haven't eaten in 13 years and..."
"I'll go get some ramen!" naruto excitedly volunteered. But before he could leave, Jiraiya came carring some take out.
"This is healthier then ramen." he said putting the food down.
"how much of he conversation did you hear?" asked tsunade. Jiraiya sighed and rubbed the back of his head.
"All of it. Well tsunade, you should get back to work. Theyre looking all over for you." Tsunade grumbled, tookone of the take out boxes and left.

after a very plesent (and extrodinarily delicious, in Yondaime's opinion) they all sat down to relax.
"Umm... Yondaime-dono... How exactly did you... defeat kyuubi?" Yondaime was surprised at both being refeared to as "dono" and that Hinata asked such a serious question. He looked over at naruto who looked both shocked and afraid. Shocked at what hinata asked. Afraid of what Yondaime might say.
"I.. I sealed him."
"Inside what?"
there was silence for while as Yondaime looked back and forth between naruto and Hinata.
"Umm... ah..."
"We should probably head home!" naruto interupted suddenly. "Your family must be worried hinata-chan. As is your bro and sis, i'm sure Gaara." he laughed nervously. Hinata looked at him surprised. Not only because he had actaully called her "chan" but because of his sudden nervousness. naruto turned to leave as if nothing had happened when he heard hinata gasp.
"naru... naruto-kun..."
Naruto turned slowly behind him...
"Your right! I've been out so late! I'm going to be in so much trouble!" She got up and began to run before stopping and turning to Yondaime.
"It.. It was nice to meet you Yondaime-dono, but i must go! Good bye!" She said and ran as fast as she could to her house.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. that was close.
"Why don't you want her to know?" asked Gaara. He sounded a little angry.
naruto turnede and looked at gaara.
"Because..i... I'm.."
"Ashamed?" Yondaime finished looking at the ground.
Naruto turned away and also looked at the ground. he could tell by the sound of Yondaime's voice that he wasn't happy. Finally naruto couldn't take it.
"YES ALRIGHT! I AM ASHAMED! I HAVE THIS MONSTER INSIDE OF ME TAHT EVERYONE HATES ME FOR! IF.. IF.. IT WASN'T FOR IT... YOU COULD STILL BE ALIVE! NONE OF THIS WOULD BE LIKE THIS IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS... THIS... THING INSIDE ME! I..." But before naruto could finish his sentence Yondaime had stood up and had hit naruto across the face. Yondaime then walked over to naruto and picked him up off the ground by the collar.
"You think I risked my life so you could be ashamed of what you are! Your a hero because of what is in you! You should be proud!"
"A hero! A HERO! HAVING THIS THING INSIDE ME DOES NOT MAKE ME A HERO! IT MAKES ME A MONSTER!" naruto couldn't help it. He was so angry, tears were swelling in his eyes. The tears fell when Yondaime hit him again and then picked him back up by the collar. Naruto grudedly looked at Yondaime. He had tears of anger in his eyes also. He was jsut as angry as Naruto.
"IF THAT'S WHAT THOSE PEOPLE THINK OF YOU THEN THEY AREN'T WORTH YOUR TIME! THE PEOPLE WHO ACCEPT YOU AS YOU ARE, NO MATTER WHATS INSIDE YOU, ARE THE PEOPLE THAT SHOULD REALLY MATTER!" Yondaime hit him again, but before he could pick him back up, someone blocked his way.

"Stop! STOP! PLEASE!" hinata cried. She was bent over Naruto holding him. She was crying worse then the both of them. Yondaime stopped half step. You wouldn't be able to tell who was more shocked. naruto, Yondaime, and Gaara all looked shocked beyond all reason.
"Hi.. Hinata-chan..." Said Yondaime after a while of silence. Naruto was now sitting properly and Hinata was wiping the blood off his face.
"naruto-kun... Yondaime-dono has a point... People who.. who think little of you... they dont' matter. It's the people who care because your what matters to them. And it's not you whos the monster, its the thing inside you... the thing thats sealed away. You have to show them that you're better then that..." after that she couldn't take anymore because her tears had taken over.
"Hinata-chan..." naruto just stared at her for a bit then hugged her. "Arigato, hinata-chan." Then he wispered in her ear. "I think we should go give Gaara a hug to." He laughed silently.
"I heard that. And no... i dont need a hug." he said grumply. Yondaime laughed.
"Come one join in the fun!" Yondaime said, laughing again. And before gaara could protest, Yondaime had gone over there and hugged him. "after all, those with demons in them are more like family then anybody because they understand each other more then any one." Before gaara could get lose from Yondaime, Naruto had come over and hugged him too. Gaara had a look of disgust on his face (even though secretly he liked that fact taht he was being hugged). When they let go, Yondaime and Naruto burst out lauging. They laughed so much they lost their balance and fell down.
"I'm... sorry... but i really do have to go now..." Gaara had left during their fit of laughing and now hinata was the only one left. (Jiraiya had "escorted" Tsunade back and kakashi had left when he thought Hinata left also). naruto wiped a tear (this time from laughter) from his eye.
"Okay Hinata-chan. ne ne! Maybe later we could go to the ramen stand together. Just the two of us." Naruto said and winked. hinata was blushing so badly that she hid her face in her hands and left as quickly as she could.
"Shouldn't you be heading home too?"
"aw! no not yet! I want to stay here and talk to you about being Hokage and all that! Tell me about how you made resengan! What cool jutsu's do you know! How...' Yondaime laughed.
"Okay, okay." He said smiling.

And with that, they spent the whole night talking about being Hokage, cool jutsu's and other things.
