Chapter 23:

Trail —

Rin walks out of her lab and head towards where their leader was.

"That kid is really amazing…even with my kinjutsu, there's still only twenty percent chance that he'll survive. Maybe it's because of the nine tailed Bijuu inside him"

---------Flashback-----------------

Rin was sitting on a hill near the river when she noticed that the water was tainted with blood.

"What's this…" she slowly checked the water if its really blood.

Upon proving that it was blood, Rin followed the trail of it until she noticed a bloody boy in a shoreline half dead.

Naruto was covered in blood and still half conscious. He was deeply gasping for air then suddenly became unconscious when rin found him.

"This is bad…his heart beat was slowing down and the cells in his body was almost destroyed. His immune system is damaged also…" Rin continued observing naruto.

She checked his pulse then opened his eye for inspection.

"What happened to this boy?" She said out loud.

Then the heart of naruto stopped in an instance. Rin became concerned all of a sudden.

She uses a first aid treatment to naruto but it didn't work. His whole body is so weak to respond. So she uses her last resort. Rin used her medical skills to perform an surgical operation right there in the coastline.

She creates a scalpel by the use of her chakra to cut into the inner bodies of naruto.

"What's this?"

Rin was shocked on what he sees. Naruto's vital organs a slowly diminishing by the second.

"Is this some kind of new poison?" Rin began to analyze the composition of the virus.

"No. this is a cell that was altered to become a virus…"

She wiped the sweat on her head by her left arm. Rin deeply sighed "This is a lot worst than I thought…"

She hurriedly extracted the damaged cells from the body of naruto like when sakura did to kankuro.

"It's impossible. The virus had already spread out of his entire body…" Rin whispered.

She began to give up hope of saving the boy that she found when a struck of idea hit her mind all of a sudden. Her eyes widen. "What if I used that technique to this boy. The success rate will gradually increase but it will cost a lot of damage into me…"

An inner voice from her mind suddenly speaks out. "What am I thinking? It's a matter of life and death for this boy how could I prioritize my self over his life!"

Rin steadily positioned her both hand to the chest of Naruto. "Come' on rin you can do this!" She let out a deep exhale.

"Life Altering Jitsu: Cell Reassigning!" (Sorry I cannot translate into Japanese)

Patterns and lines suddenly appeared in the body of rin and naruto. It emits a violet light when she transferred some of her cells to the body of naruto.

Naruto's pale face began to lighten up. Rin lets out a huge sigh as a sign of relief that the operation was a success.

"Now it all depends on you kid…"

Rin haul up naruto to her back as she brought him to their base. She smiled while looking at the boy that she saved. "You owe me a lot kid when you wake up"

After awhile, Rin finally arrive at their base. Itachi and Kisame were guarding the gate when Rin returned.

Both of them were surprised when they see naruto was in the back of rin.

"Well I'll be dammed…" Kisame surprisingly commented.

"huh? What is it kisame?" Rin confusingly asked the sharky head akatsuki member.

"Where did you get that kid Rin?" Itachi calmly asked.

"This kid? He was drifted along the current in the river when I see him and he was wounded so I kinda helped him. I just cannot leave him by the shoreline like this so I thought that I will bring him back to our base."

"You know, you're one heck of a lucky girl!" Kisame commended.

"what are you saying?"

Itachi cough "Well, that kid has the nine tailed Kyuubi inside him…" he coolly explained.

Rin eyes surprisingly widen "ehhh? So that why he's regeneration rate was so high…"

"I'm sure that Leader will be very pleased about this good job rin"

"Its not fair! Uzumaki naruto was assigned to us" Kisame bragged

"Hehe! I've beaten you guys!" Rin playfully mock the two as she makes a peace sign on her hands.

"it guess I can't be helped…" Itachi respond.

-----------------End of Flashback------------

"Uzumaki naruto?" she remembered what kisame told her. "Uzumaki….UZUMAKI?"

Rin shouted loud on her mind.

She gradually sweat dropped. "N—no way…I need to ask him"

She soon reached the place where their leader lye's. he was sitting on a rock formation.

"Rin, What are you doing here" Yondaime looked down at the girl.

"Leader—"Yondaime break off the phrase of Rin.

"Come 'on let's have no formalities when were alone…"

Rin nodded. "Narumi-sensei it's about the boy that I found. The one that had the nine tailed Bijuu inside him"

"What about him?"

Rin hesitated fro a second "W—will you extract the Bijuu inside him?"

"I have no choice…" Yondaime coldly replied.

"B—but he's your own son! How can you do that to him?"

Yondaime become confused. "My son?"

Rin lowered his head. "Kisame told me that the boys name was Uzumaki Naruto…"

"he's the baby that contains Kyuubi right?"

Yondaime didn't reply.

"You've sacrificed your self just to seal kyuubi inside that boy fifteen years ago, now you're extracting it from him"

Yondaime sadly replied. "Sacrifice are needed to attain our goals…"

"But all that you've worked for fifteen years ago will result to nothing if you extract the Bijuu from him!"

"So what are you planning to do?"

Rin paused for awhile. "H—how about making him one of the members of akatsuki? We have a vacant position when orochimaru leave right?"

Yondaime think for a second. "Well, I can do that. But in two conditions"

Rin's eyes widen. "Two conditions?"

"yes. First you must not tell him that I was his father" Yondaime demanded.

"Buy why?"

Yondaime lowers down his head. "I have my reasons…"

"What about the second condition?"

Yondaime smirked. "I will make him one of our legal members if…he can do a single damage on me…"

Silence…

"Okay" Rin seriously nodded.

"I will only give him a week to train…"
