It was the last day of Sarutobi's funeral. Naruto was sitting on his bed in his room waiting for Kakashi to pick him up to go to the grand hall. He was wearing the same top except it was black in colour; his pants were a darker shade of grey as well. His Father had to be at the grand hall day and night to look after the coffin. Naruto suddenly heard a knock on the door; he opened it and saw Kakashi waiting for him outside. Kakashi was wearing the same thing except that he had a large black robe on top of his usual outfit. "Are you ready to go Naruto-san." Kakashi asked politely. Though he and Naruto were good friends, he still had to address Naruto properly since Naruto was still his superior.
"Yes." Naruto replied. "And how many times do I have to tell you to call me just 'Naruto'?" "At least a few more times." Kakashi replied teasingly.
They arrived there just before Tsunade came. Tsunade was dressed in white (Did this women know that white isn't the best colour to wear for funerals?) sleeveless top that went down to her stomach just above her bellybutton; her white pants covered down just above her ankle. She had bangles on both legs that didn't make a sound at all. Rumor has it that she did some sort of magic to silence it. "Yo!" She greeted them raising her hand up. Jiraiya followed behind her, he was dressed in some sort of samurai amour. (Without the hat cause he'll look weird.)
"How are you Ryoku?" (I think that's his name at least? Heck with it anyway, just go with the flow, but if you know his name for sure, pls tell me so that if I have another fic, I can use his name.) Tsunade asked Naruto's father. "Not too good." He replied smiling slightly.
The funeral lasted at least two hours, they had a few citations for him and then they had singing and a service and other stuff that you would usual have. When all that was done, Naruto's father returned home with them this time. He was so tired (because when you have to watch a coffin, you have to stay awake the whole time and the funeral days are 3 days in a row) that as they were reaching the room, he fell asleep on Kakashi, Kakashi had to therefore carry him to his room, and then they had to get his bed ready and what not.
Naruto was a little worried about his father, and Kakashi noticed it, "Why do you seem so worried, Naruto-san?" Kakashi asked. "It's because," Naruto began, "well father's already tired and if this goes on, they might think that he's not the most suitable for this role!" Naruto told Kakashi. "So what are you going to do a bout it?" Kakashi asked. "Of course, I'm going to help him!" Naruto replied. "Help him!" Kakashi exclaimed. Naruto helping? That's just going to make things worse! Oh dear what have I done? Kakashi thought frantically of an idea. "Uh- why don't you just see if he's ok on his own first, Naruto-san?" Kakashi suggested.
"No! By that time he would have been pulled down!" Naruto answered. Kakashi began to feel desperate. Oh no! "Uh- Naruto-san?" Kakashi began. 'Huh?" Naruto asked. "Why don't we have tuition now?" Kakashi suggested. "Are you kidding? I ain't going to have extra tuition! NO way!" Naruto replied. "Uh- then I'll cancel your tuition tomorrow. And I won't give you any homework…" Kakashi added. Naruto considered the offer for a moment before nodding his head. "But can I have it after lunch, please?" Naruto asked. "Ok." Kakashi replied.
After lunch
Naruto was walking down the corridor to his room when he suddenly heard voices just around the corner. "What are you sure about that!" he heard a voice exclaim. "Yes I'm very sure!" replied another voice that was sounded a lot like Jiraiya." So it turns out that Sarutobi's own student killed him. Damn that Orochimaru!" Orochimaru! Naruto exclaimed. Who is that guy? Is he that powerful to kill that old man! Naruto decided that he would ask Kakashi. Naruto ran to his room.
Naruto opened to door slowly to see if Kakashi was already there. He was. Naruto went in and shut the door behind him. "Hey Kakashi-sensei," Naruto began. "Yes?" "Who's Orochimaru?" Naruto asked. "Why do you want to know?" "Because the captin of the Angel Order (That's like the ANBU team) talking to Jiraiya. Jiraiya told him that he found out that this Orochimaru person killed old man Sarutobi." Naruto explained. "OROCHIMAUR!" Kakashi exclaimed. "Are you sure?" he asked Naruto again. "Yes."
Kakashi fell back onto is chair, rubbing his temple. "Who is he?" Naruto asked again. "He was Sarutobi-san's best student." Kakashi told him. 'Huh! So why did he kill Sarutobi?" Naruto demanded. "Well, all of us thought that Orochimaru would take after Sarutobi when he didn't want the job anymore but in the end he chose Ryoku, your father. He was very angry and he argued and argued with Sarutobi until one day, he went down to Earth to walk around and think for a while. And there he was somehow bitten by a vampire. So he lost his 'light' and then he lost his wings. And he's now more powerful than he was before." Kakashi explained. "Why?" Naruto asked. "Because a vampire is the only type of demons that can grow horns to absorb the darkness and greed of man. So they can become stronger faster than any other beings. And since he wanted to get back at Sarutobi, he killed him as he was ten times more powerful than Sarutobi." "So this is all because he was angry for not having the title of god of heaven?" Naruto asked. Kakashi nodded his head.
"But then, doesn't he have a grudge against my father?" Naruto asked worriedly. "Um- well…" Kakashi began. If I tell him yes, things are going to get worse than worse. "I don't think so. Cause it's not his fault now is it?" Kakashi lied. Duh he's furious! He thought. "Kakashi-sensei, your nose is getting longer." Naruto said. "Heh-never mind about that must have been the lunch." Kakashi said as an excuse. So that's how it was.
Naruto's father came in halfway through their lesson to see if they were ok. He looked a lot better. "Father, guess what?" Naruto began. "Huh? What?" "I'm going to help you with your new job!" Naruto replied enthusiastically. "Uh-no!" Naruto's father replied hastily. "It's ok. I can handle the job." He continued.
"Ok. But if you need any help feel free to ask." Naruto added. "Ok." Iruka came in suddenly. "Ryoku-sama, the papers that you wanted are here." Iruka told him. "Oh. Thank you Iruka." He replied taking the papers from Iruka. "Kakashi." Iruka turned to face Kakashi. 'Huh?" "Tsunade-sama wants to see you now on some important matters." Iruka told him. "Ok." Kakashi began. "Naruto, we're going to have to continue the next half an hour later, ok?" "Ok. I'll just go and play in the garden." Naruto told them, getting up from his chair and walking out the door.
With Kakashi
Kakashi walked towards Tsunade's palace. When he got there, Tsunade was sitting back in her chair, with her feet up on the table. "You called goddess of love?" Kakashi addressed her. (With his own master he can call him his name and then Sama. But with other masters, he has to use their title. Only Jiraiya calls Tsunade by her title because his case is different.)
Tsunade looked up at him. "Yes." she answered, putting her feet off the table. "Have a seat." She said motioning to the seat in front of the table. Kakashi took a seat. "Kakashi," she began, "Do you know about the murderer?" "Yes." Kakashi replied. "Then I should tell you first, he's getting stronger and stronger with each passing day. Some tell me that he's going to kill Ryoku now. But I don't think he can defeat Ryoku. Ryoku's much stronger than Sarutobi anyway. So he might use other methods to destroy Ryoku." Tsunade explained.
"Like?" Kakashi asked. "Like killing Naruto." She replied. Kakashi suddenly felt that the conversation was more important then before, he straightened his back and leaned his head forward to listen closely. "And Naruto is practically Ryoku's whole life." Tsunade pressed on. "If Ryoku found out that Naruto was dead or even worse saw Naruto die in front of him, then he would definitely close his mind." Closing his mind would mean that he would die. Then what would heaven do? Kakashi thought. "So," she continued. "I want you to keep a close watch on Naruto. We don't want to have to appoint a new god of heaven now do we?" "Yes of course!" Kakashi replied.
With Naruto
Naruto was climbing trees in the garden, when he suddenly heard a voice from above. "Hey kid." Naruto looked up to see a man who had pale skin, long black hair which was as black as hells shadows and he had sunglasses that covered a bit of his cold, evil yellow snake-like eyes (It could still be seen mind you.), he was dressed in a black velvet robe that showed his chest and black pants. "Who are you?" Naruto asked.
"Just another person." He answered. "And you?" he asked looked at Naruto with those yellow eyes. "I'm Naruto." Naruto replied. "Ryoku's son eh?" he asked, but this time, his voice wasn't as clam and cool as the one before, his voice now was filled with loathe. What's wrong with him? Naruto thought.
"Heh- hey Naruto-kun, do you want of play a game of hide and seek on Earth?" he asked, his clam voice coming back with every word, but in his mind, he was devising an evil plan. "Huh? But my father…." He began but was cut off by the man. "It's ok; after all, I'm going to be with you." Naruto considered it for a moment before nodding his head. The man smiled.
The man jumped down from the tree. "Let's go then." He said. Naruto followed the man to the gates that lead out of heaven. Two high-class guards would guard the gates but when Naruto saw them, they were 'asleep'. "Why are they asleep?" Naruto asked the man. "Because they're slacking off the job." The man replied. But the only thing is they won't ever wake up again. He thought in his mind. Then he smiled as he remembered how he had killed them silently. This guy smiles a lot… Naruto thought.
With Kakashi
Kakashi was walking back from Tsunade's palace and was crossing the bridge that joined her and Ryoku's palace together. The water was flowing peacefully and flowers were floating along with the flow. When suddenly a black rose floated down. A black roes? Kakashi thought. He decided that he better go check on Naruto so he ran the whole way there. When he got there he discovered that Naruto was gone and something else was wrong. WHAT! He gasped. The leaves and flowers on the trees were all dead. Only a dark being could do this! Could it be…… a demon is in heaven. And he took Naruto! Kakashi turned around and ran towards the gate. If a demon really did take Naruto, then he would go to the gate to get back to Earth. Kakashi thought as he ran to the gate.
Naruto was about to go through the gate with Orochimaru when he suddenly heard Kakashi's voice form behind them,"NARUTO! Naruto spun around to see Kakashi running towards them and then halt just a few meters from them. He was panting. "DON'T GO WITH HIM! HE'S OROCHIMARU! HE'S THE ONE WHO KILLED SARUTOBI!"
OROCHIMAUR! Naruto turned around to look at the man. He's Orochimaru! He thought. "Why are you listening to him Naruto-kun?" the man asked smiling. Naruto backed away slowly. But the man was quick, he grabbed Naruto's hand and ran through the gate and jumped.
"NARUTO!" Kakashi exclaimed, he ran forward and looked down. They were falling down to Earth when suddenly; Orochimaru's black dragon wings showed themselves. He flew with Naruto down to Earth. "KAKAHI-SENSIE!" Naruto shouted as they flew lower and lower and then out of sight. "Naruto………."
