I don't own Naruto, Kishimoto does.

Chapter 11

Naruto awoke with a groan, looking around his room in confusion. Last he remembered was that he had lost control. He let out nearly a lifetime of pent up anger, and what broke that was the attempted murder of his most precious person. He remembered Jiji and Kakashi-niisan, breaking down, and then… black. Apparently one of them took him back to his apartment.

Naruto shakily got out of his bed, nearly following over doing so. He opened his door and walked over to his kitchen, needing to lean on the wall so he wouldn't fall over. Apparently wasting all that chakra made him lose knowing how to balance himself. Who would've thought? He opened his cabinet and grabbed his instant ramen. It was then Naruto heard a groan from his living room.

"AH! WHAT THE FUCK!" he screamed, "KAKA-NII!"

"Huh! WHAT!" responded Kakashi, "Oh, Naruto, hey."

"What are you doing in my apartment?" asked Naruto.

"I wanted to watch over you, because of, you know…" began Kakashi.

"Ya. Kakashi, I'm going to go see her today," Naruto said.

Kakashi just nodded at his little brother.

"Want some ramen?" asked Naruto.

"Sure," said Kakashi, walking over to the table.

Naruto served up two bowls of instant ramen and sat down with Kakashi.

"So what will you be doing this month?" he asked.

"Well, Sai has someone who will be teaching him, and Sasuke and Sakura aren't in the finals. Right now they are on reserves until after the Chunin Exams like everyone else who didn't pass prelims," responded Kakashi.

"So you got nothing to do? That sucks," Naruto said laughing a bit.

"No I do. Someone very strong and I will be helping you," Kakashi said.

Naruto choked on his food, "Wh-what?!" he exclaimed.

"Hokage-sama has agreed to it, it's fine," replied Kakashi lazily.

"Uhm, okay… What'll you be teaching me?" asked Naruto.

"Well, you know summoning, the rasengan, and you know elemental manipulation. Have you tried making a scorch style rasengan?" asked Kakashi.

"Wait, what?" asked Naruto confused, "Was I supposed to?"

"Well, sensei wanted to add lightning chakra to Rasengan but was never able to. To fully complete the rasengan was to add elemental manipulation to it. That's why it's pure chakra," explained Kakashi.

Naruto smirked, "I think I know what we're gonna do this month."

Naruto walked into the hospital looking gloomily at the floor. Walking up at the receptionist, he did his best to stay calm, "What room is Hyuga Hinata in?" he asked.

The receptionist looked at Naruto and glared, "Why would you need to see her? Come to kill more people, demon?"

Naruto lifted his head and suddenly his red hair was being compared to the red, slitted eyes that had appeared, "What room is Hinata-chan in?!" he asked louder as a growl came from his throat.

"Uh-Uhm, H-Hyuga Hinata, r-room 218," said the receptionist in fear.

Naruto's eyes changed back to normal, "Thanks."

As Naruto walked up to Hinata's room, he saw a doctor with a notepad come out. He rushed over to ask the extent of her injuries.

"Doc, hey!" he called.

The med-nin was one of the ones from the Chunin Exams. She smiled at Naruto and nodded, acknowledging him.

"I-Is H-Hinata-chan okay?!" Naruto asked frantically.

The med-nin's smile immediately dropped, scaring Naruto. With a heavy sigh, the med-nin breathed out, "Hyuga Hinata sustained near fatal injuries to her heart. It's a pure miracle that she's alive. Ust as we said yesterday, the secondary chakra is the only thing keeping her alive. She's already had surgery on her heart, and we had to replace hers. Even still, if she doesn't get the best medical attention soon, she will die. The most she has is 3 months," she said sadly.

Naruto's heart stopped beating and he began to tear up, "Dammit! Why! Why me! Why is it always fucking me that get's screwed over! If I love someone I can't have them!" he screamed.

The doctor's eyes widened, "Love? You don't mean-"

"Yeah, I do. It's pretty stupid that a demon like me could love a princess like her," said Naruto still crying.

The doctor looked at Naruto with a serious face, "Naruto, right?" she asked.

Naruto looked up to her and nodded.

"She has three months. She needs the best of the best to survive. The only person who can save her is Tsunade-sama herself. She hasn't been to the village in over a decade, but it's safe to say that she is in Hi no Kuni. You have three months to save Hinata-san. You will find Tsunade-sama and convince her to come back so you can tell Hinata-san how you feel. UNDERSTOOD!" she said.

Naruto stared at the med-nin with wide eyes, "B-but, I have the Chunin Exams. I'm against NEJI! I'M GONNA KILL THAT BASTARD!" he yelled. He then looked down and sighed, "I'm sorry, it's just-"

"I understand," said the med-nin, "but if you really love her, you will give up your revenge to find Tsunade-sama."

It was then Naruto had an idea, "I know what to do. But first I need to get to the roof. Can you take me there, Ms., uhm?" he started.

"My name's Kimiko," responded the med-nin.

"Ms. Kimiko, can you show me to the roof?" asked Naruto.

Kimiko nodded, "Come with me."

"Thank you."

"So, uhm, what exactly are you going to do?" asked Kimiko.

"This," said Naruto, "FUIN: HIRAISHIN-KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" yelled Naruto as 500 clones appeared in a red flash.

"Hiraishin-Kage Bunshin?!" exclaimed Kimiko.

"Yeah. I'll send these all around Hi no Kuni, and if they find Tsunade-sama, they'll flare their chakra in a certain way similar to morse code," explained Naruto.

"Wow," said Kimiko, shocked.

"This way, I can train and look for Tsunade at the same time," said Naruto smiling.

"Well good luck with that," said Kimiko, "I need to get back to my duties."

"ALRIGHT! HINATA-CHAN HAS 3 MONTHS! STARTING NOW YOU 500 WILL BE SCOUTING THE ENTIRETY OF HI NO KUNI TO LOOK FOR SENJU TSUNADE! UNDERSTOOD?!" Naruto exclaimed.

"HAI!" replied his clones.

"Good!" responded Naruto, "NOW GO!"

And with that the 500 clones were off.

"No," said Kakashi.

"But why?!" exclaimed Gai, "Are YOUTHFUL challenges always brighten your day!"

"Not today Gai, I need to help Naruto and you remember what happened yesterday," said Kakashi seriously.

Gai flinched at that. He remembered how much force it took to hold Naruto down and how astonishing it was that he got free. He remembered seeing Naruto about to murder Neji. Seeing that red cloak sent shivers down his spine.

"Alright, Kaka-" started Gai.

Suddenly, the ground started to shake making most shop owners run inside.

"Is it an earthquake?" asked Gai.

"Not sure," said Kakashi turning around, "but whatever it is we need to be care- HOLY SHIT!" he yelled.

Gai turned around to see what Kakashi was looking at. He turned around and his eyes widened. He saw Kakashi's book on the ground. That had never happened. Gai looked up and his jaw dropped. They saw 500 Naruto clones running through the streets and over the roofs. The two Konoha Jonin jumped to higher ground to get a better view.

"Naruto! What's the occasion?!" called Kakashi.

One of the Naruto clones turned around with a serious look on his face, "Boss sent us to retrieve Tsunade! Hinata-chan has 3 months to live and this is the only way! They've already replaced her heart but she's still in critical condition!" yelled the clone.

Kakashi and Gai's eyes widened, '3 months?' they both thought.

"Gai, I need to-"

"Go, I understand," said Gai before Kakashi could finish.

Naruto sat on the chair in Hinata's room. It was quiet and you could barely tell he was moving, almost as if he was asleep. But if you looked and listened close enough, you could see Naruto's body and hear his whimpers. Naruto had held his tears in when he was explaining to Kimikok, but now he had to let it all out.

"H-Hinata-chan, I-I kn-know you c-can't here m-me, but I w-wanted y-you to know that e-everything I do f-from n-now on is f-for y-you. I-I'll take down N-Neji. H-Hurt him as much as he h-hurt you. M-make him suffer l-like you d-did. Why? W-well it's kinda stupid. I-I don't know i-if you remember, but when I was six, I killed a-a mob th-that was after m-me. I almost w-went insane. U-until you showed up. You helped m-me. I d-don't know what I w-would've done w-without you. Th-that is why I do e-everything for you. I love you."

And with that, Naruto exited the hospital, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Cheers!" yelled three men. The first had a scarred face, and a pineapple haircut. The second had long, dirty-blonde hair and was wearing a sleeveless red trench coat. The third was a big, red haired, man with markings on his cheeks. These were the previous generation's InoShikaCho trio. Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza.

"So, Shika got into the Chunin finals?" asked Inoichi.

"Sure did," said Shikaku, "It's troublesome, now I have to train him or the wife's gonna kill me."

"Ino's still upset that she lost to Sakura. Says she's gonna start training hard," said Inoichi.

"Choji said the same thing. He said that their InoShikaCho will surpass us," said Choza with a chuckle.

BANG!

Everyone in the brothel looked towards the door only to see it knocked down and a silhouette of Naruto.

"Everyone, out," he said monotone, releasing an amount of KI that shocked even the InoShikaCho trio.

After feeling the immense killer intent, The trio watched Naruto walk up to the bar and grab a stool.

"Hey, kid! Y-your not old enough to be here!" said the bartender hesitantly.

"Shut. Up," growled Naruto, "Get me a drink. I'm in a really bad mood."

The bartender gulped and handed a full bottle of sake to the 13-year-old before he ran out of the brothel. Now the only people left were Naruto and the InoShikaCho.

"I thought I said to get out," said Naruto.

"Troublesome," muttered Shikaku, "Naruto, right? Shika's told me a lot about you. Says you're one of the most positive people he knows. Even after he found out about your mask,"

"shut up."

"He is always telling me that no matter what, you'll always keep going and never give up. To me, this looks like giving up. What the hell happened?" said Shikaku.

"Shut. Up."

"Although he did tell me something interesting from yesterday. Says you freaked out when Hyuga Hinata was nearly fatally injured. Maybe that has something to do with it," egged on the Jonin commander.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" yelled the irate redhead, "WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW! EVERYONE IS THE FUCKING VILLAGE GETS TO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE! WHY CAN'T I! YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING OUT OF ME, THINKING IT'LL MAKE ME FEEL BETTER BUT IT FUCKING DOESN'T! I LOVE HER AND SHE'S ALMOST GONE SO SHUT THE FUCK U-" yelled Naruto before he was stopped.

Shikaku wrapped Naruto in a hug, his chest pressed up on Naruto's head.

"Naruto, I'm not the best father. Shika's probably told you that I'm really lazy. But I'm one of the smartest people in Konoha and whenever my family is being isolated, I make them let everything out. I don't do it to be mean, but I do it to help them. Now, I want you to tell me how you feel after letting everything out," spoke Shikaku in a fatherly manner.

"B-better," responded Naruto.

"Now, don't go wasting your life away like us three old guys. Go fight for her, defend her," said Shikaku.

Naruto nodded, "Thank you, Shikaku-san," he said. Naruto walked out of the building and body-flickered away.

Choza looked at Shikaku and chuckled, "How do you always manage to do that?"

Shikaku looked at his friends and smirked, "I am the Jonin commander."

Naruto sat on the top of his father's head contemplating the past hours.

'I really am hopeless," he thought.

"You don't say," said Kurama.

'Oh, just shut up,' thought Naruto.

"Kit, like the two people before me have said, just fight for her honor and help her recover. You're the only one who can. And I'll be damned if my kit's vixen dies," said Kurama.

"Thanks, Kurama."

"Who're you talking to?" asked a voice.

Naruto spun around in fright not noticing anyone, "AH FUCK!"

He saw Kakashi standing there reading his porn.

"That's the second time today you've scared the hell out of me," said Naruto.

"It'll be three by tonight," said Kakashi.

"Huh?"

"Huh? Anyway. I know the day is nearly over, but I wanted to introduce you to your other teacher for the month," said Kakashi.

"Uhm, okay," responded Naruto.

"Alright, you can come out now," called Kakashi.

Naruto's face fell as he saw an old man with red markings on his cheeks and long, spiky hair come out of the trees. He had on a olive green gi and a red, sleeveless trench coat. He also had a scroll on his back as well as red wooden sandals.

"Neh, neh. Kaka-nii, who's the perv?" asked Naruto.

"YOU LITTLE GAKI! I'M NO PERVERT. I'M THE TOAD SAGE OF MOUNT MYOBOKU!" said the old man.

"Yeah? And I'm the guy with a non-catatonic love-interest," said Naruto turning around looking down at the hospital.

"What?" asked the so-called Toad Sage.

"Don't ask about it Jiraiya-sama," said Kakashi, putting his hand on the man's shoulder.

"So your Jiraiya, eh? Well lucky you. Unfortunately for me, what I said isn't," said Naruto.

'What the hell is the gaki talking about,' thought Jiraiya.

"Naruto, as I said, Jiraiya-sama and I will be training you this month. And as you and I talked about earlier, we'll be working on your Scorch Release: Halo Hurricane Jet Black Arrow Style Zero," explained Kakashi.

"What?" asked Jiraiya as Naruto just smirked.

"Nice name," said the genin.

"Yeah. I think sensei would've called it that," said Kakashi trying not to let it slip to Jiraiya that Naruto knew who his parents were.

"Alright, I'm confused. Kakashi, you know what I do when I'm confused so I'm going to go do what I do when I'm confused so goodbye!" said Jiraiya dramatically as he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Alright. I'll be going too," said Naruto.

"Bye," said Kakashi, still reading his book.

Naruto opened the door to his apartment and looked at his messy couch.

'He didn't even clean up,' he thought.

Naruto grabbed a leftover onigiri from his fridge and microwaved it. While eating he began to think of the next month.

'Kurama, anything else that I should work on this month?' he asked his companion.

"Actually, there is. And that Toad Sage will be helping us with it. It'll help you a lot in the long run," responded the fox.

'Alright,' thought Naruto.

The rest of the meal was silent. Naruto finished eating, and went to brush his teeth. He went into his room and got changed. When he got in bed, he closed his eyes, thinking about the next month.

"boo."

A resounding, "AAAAAAAAHH! FUCK YOU KAKASHI!" was heard in Konoha that night.

End.

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. It was meant to be half comedic, half sad. Let me know if I hit the mark on that. I know right now it's really sad and I'm trying to lighten it up wherever I can so let me know if I did alright. Thanks and please read the next chapter of Konoha's Tag Team when it comes out. I probably like it more than this story considering what I have planned and I really want it to do well. Anyways, bye and hope you liked it.
