Uzumaki Naruto Chronicles Rewrite
Chapter 11
Author's notes: Shout out to NarHina for reviewing! Hope the last chapter caused a lot of stress. I am really enjoying writing this fic, I start writing a chapter with a specific goal in mind then have an entirely different chapter written than planned because I have an idea and go with it. The entire last chapter was not part of the plan but I think it really added to the story. Let me know what y'all think about my last chapter if you like the impromptu chapters or what.
Naruto's mindscape
Naruto woke up in the field in his mind, Kurama looked as exhausted as he felt. "Kurama, what the fuck happened?" The boy asked Kurama as he slowly stood up.
She hugged him immediately, crying, she told him, "You almost died Kit! I swear I am going to kill every single person in this God forsaken village!"
Naruto laughed weakly, "See that is why I can't just let you out, you would go on a rampage, then I would have to stop you and then how would I explain it all to Grandpa Hokage. You know he won't be happy."
Kurama giggled and shook her head, smacking the back of his. He grinned at her and the two sat down with their backs against a tree and looked out at the crystal blue stream in front of them.
"So what all actually happened?" Naruto asked the foxlike woman.
Kurama shook her head and squinted her eyes obviously angry, "The villagers surrounded your apartment and lit it on fire. You jumped out the window and if it weren't for Kakashi you would have been skewered at the bottom by the villagers. Kakashi was too late to catch you and had to catch you with a grappling hook. It punctured your lungs. You were bleeding out, choking on your own blood. I have been working my tails off trying to fix you. You went into a coma. You have been in a coma for a week now, I am sorry Kit, I did all I could just to keep you breathing and keep you alive when they were performing surgery. Kit, you are going to have to tell Hinata about me. She has a right to know about me."
"Kurama, show me what happened at my apartment, please." Naruto asked her. He needed to see what happened.
Kurama shook her head, "Kit nothing good can come from this, please don't do this to yourself."
"Kurama show me." Naruto said in a more authoritative voice.
Kurama shook her head and sighed, placing her hand on Naruto's head, "Fine, you won't like it."
Kurama showed him what happened and Naruto was horrified. "Kurama, what if they target Hinata next? They think I have polluted her, what if they kill her? Or worse if they use her to get to me. If they hurt her I wouldn't be able to take it. Kurama, I can't be with her, it is putting her life in danger."
Kurama shook her head, "Naruto, no don't do that to yourself, you deserve to be happy too!"
Naruto shook his head, tears in his eyes, "Not at her expense Kurama! I can't risk her life for my fucking happiness. I don't even know what you mean I deserve her! I can't even tell her about you."
Kurama shook her head, "Naruto, no don't do this again."
Naruto bit his lip shook his head and forced himself out of the mind scape. He woke up with a gasp and started gagging on the breathing tube that was intubated into his throat. He started ripping it out, ripping the sensors off of himself as well. He needed to get out of here. The machine next to his bed started flat lining. Doctors rushed in only to see him try to stand. He immediately collapsed onto the ground. Kakashi was there immediately, helping the boy up. He looked at his arm to see blood covering it. He cursed and looked at Naruto's back.
"He tore the stitches he is bleeding." The doctors rushed over and got Naruto in bed, laying him on his side.
Naruto's body had started going numb and his vision blurry, "Kakashi, I don't feel so good." With that Naruto passed out again.
Naruto's eyes fluttered open a few hours later, and he tried to figure out where he was. There was something heavy on his chest. He groaned and picked his head up looking down at his chest, all he could see was a mass of dark hair. He laid his head back down, the weight on his chest was heavy, but he didn't mind at all. It felt good to have her there, a warmth filled him. He let a tear fall, he knew what he was going to have to do. He had to end it to protect her. But he was going to indulge himself for now. He was going to lay here and let her lay on his chest and let the warmth stay. He didn't want the cold to come back, but he knew it would have to invite it back in. He would not risk her for himself. Naruto stopped thinking about it. Naruto let the warmth she brought him lull him to sleep.
When Naruto woke up again he heard sniffling, someone was crying. He looked towards the sound to find Hinata crying. She looked up and he saw her face, she looked like she hadn't gotten much sleep recently, her eyes were red and puffy, as was her nose. She had clearly been crying a lot, as well as not sleeping.
She saw him looking at her, and her face brightened considerably. "N-Naruto? Are you actually awake?"
He nodded, "Yeah, I am fine Hinata, how long have you been here?"
Hinata blushed a little, Naruto loved that blush. Knowing it was for him, she was so cute when she blushed. Naruto was brought out of his thoughts when Hinata started talking, "I-I haven't really l-left N-Naruto."
Naruto looked at her, he hated how much she loved him right now, he hated himself for what he was about to do. He was going to have to break her heart. He steeled himself for this, "Hinata, I think we need to start seeing other people. I know that you love me, but…" Naruto gulped this was hard. "But I don't love you," Naruto continued to lie to the girl he loved, and he hated doing it but he had to.
Hinata was tearing up even more at this, but Naruto continued, "I don't want to keep doing this to you and leading you on, I am sorry. Can we still be friends?"
Hinata was full out crying now, her heart had been ripped from her chest. She nodded, not trusting herself to talk. She ran out of the room tears flowing down her face.
Naruto sighed that was terrible. He had just ruined her. She loved him and he ripped her heart out and shit on it, but it was better than seeing her hurt physically because of him. But he didn't have any time to think about it more. He was ripped from the world and taken into his mindscape. He fell down due to the dizziness the abrupt change had caused him. He stood up pissed, but was immediately met with a slap from Kurama.
"What the hell Kit!" She yelled at him.
Naruto recoiled, "I'm sorry Kurama, I could not risk her."
"You should have fucking told her about me, you should have told her why you were worried, you should have given her a choice." Kurama snarled at him.
Naruto frowned, "DO YOU THINK THAT WAS FUCKING EASY FOR ME? DO YOU THINK ANY OF THIS IS EASY? I AM IN THE FUCKING HOSPITAL BECAUSE THE VILLAGERS TRIED TO FUCKING BURN ME ALIVE, I LOST FUCKING EVERYTHING THIS WEEK." Naruto broke off and stopped yelling, "I lost everything." He mumbled to himself, he broke down crying.
Kurama instantly felt horrible, she wrapped the lost boy in a hug and comforted him. The two sat there for a while before Kurama spoke up, "Naruto you need to go back to the real world, you have a visitor, for what it is worth, I am sorry about all of this."
Naruto nodded and left his mindscape. He came too and saw the Third Hokage enter his room, "What do you want?" The blonde said callously.
Hiruzen was caught off guard, "Naruto we need to have a talk."
Naruto was still pissed, "Not right now. I want to be alone. Please get out." The young man told the older man.
Hiruzen nodded and got up and left, leaving Naruto alone to brood.
A few hours later Kakashi walked into Naruto's room, Naruto glared at him, giving him the same shitty attitude he gave the Hokage.
Kakashi was not having it, "Cut the attitude Naruto, you are better than that, talk to me. I am not going anywhere."
Naruto was taken aback, but couldn't take it anymore. He broke down and started to cry in front of Kakashi, "I lost everything, my home, my stuff, all I have left is the fucking scarf, but I don't think I can even bring myself to wear it."
Kakashi was confused, "Naruto, you haven't lost me, or Iruka, or Shikamaru, or Hinata, or even the old Hokage, though I have to say that was cold how you treated him."
Naruto shook his head, "I ended things with Hinata." He looked down at his feet unable to meet Kakashi's eye.
Kakashi sighed, "Why would you do that? Any fool can see that you love eachother."
Naruto nodded, still not meeting his sensei's eye, "I love her with all my heart, I have never loved anyone more than I do her, she makes me feel things I have never felt before. But I can't let her get hurt because of me, outside my apartment when the villagers were burning it down, they were yelling about how I polluted the Hyuuga princess. They were so angry, they said they did not want me polluting the Hyuugas. If I didn't end it, who knows they could have gone after her."
Kakashi sighed, "Did you give Hinata a say in the matter?"
Naruto shook his head, "No, she would have said it was fine and that she would be fine."
Kakashi nodded, "Naruto, she can protect herself, she can make her own choices, now I can't force you to do this, but you need to go and apologize and hope she will take you back, don't let your loved ones get away from you Naruto."
Naruto made no reply and Kakashi continued, "But anyways that is not what I came to tell you, I wanted to talk to you about your parents. Naruto your dad was my sensei Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash of Konoha, your mom was a woman known as Kushina Uzumaki. Your parents were some of the best people I have ever known, both brave, both nearly unstoppable. They had both earned themselves a 'flee on sight' order in the bingo book."
Kakashi looked towards Naruto, His mouth was agape in disbelief, but Kakashi didn't wait for him to say anything and continued, "The Third Hokage, told me to tell you this information, as for your home I will become your guardian an interim clan head for the Namikaze clan, we are going to move into your parent's house, the Namikaze estate. You will now have access to all of their funds, through me. In other words you have a lot more than you think."
Naruto was shocked, another bombshell was dropped on him, "W-what? That can't be, my own dad put Kurama in me? Why would he do that? Did he not care that I was going to go through hell? Did they hate me?"
Kakashi grabbed his shoulders, "Naruto, your parents loved you more than anything, they were so excited for you, they didn't have a choice, you were the only one they could trust with this burden. Your dad hated himself for doing this to you."
Naruto nodded, tears falling from his eyes, he looked to Kakashi, "Really? They trusted me that much?"
Kakashi nodded and replied, "Yes they expected great things from you. They believed you would be the savior of the world. Minato was so excited to have you, so was Kushina, they loved you so much."
Naruto nodded then asked, "Will you tell me more about them?"
Kakashi nodded and the two continued to talk, late into the night as Kakashi told Naruto some of the crazy stories about his parents.
With Hinata
Hinata ran out of the hospital crying and was immediately in her own thoughts, "What did I do wrong?" The young heiress asked herself, "I thought he liked me, I made his birthday special, I tried so hard, but I guess I failed at this too. I fail at everything. Maybe if I was better looking, or did more for him. I just don't know what I did wrong." She continued running and running until she ran into someone, she fell down landing hard on her butt. She looked up and saw a man a little older than herself, he had grey hair and full round glasses, which he pushed back up his nose looking down at her. His bangs came down over his leaf headband, and the back of his hair was tied in a ponytail. He was wearing a black top with a white shirt under his top. He also had forearm length fingerless gloves that were slightly rolled.
He reached a hand down to her and offered a hand to help her up, she took it and he helped her up. "Are you alright?" the young man asked her.
She shook her head still crying, "N-no I'm n-not. "
The grey haired boy shook his head, "Why don't we go and get some tea and talk about it."
Hinata nodded meekly and the boy led her to a teahouse, and ordered her tea. They sat down and Hinata sobbed out what had happened to her as the boy comforted her and hugged her, saying everything would be okay.
Hinata's sobbing finally subsided as she thanked him. The young boy nodded and responded, "Well, it seems this boy has no idea what he is doing, that is the dumbest thing anyone could have done. What are you going to do? With you being on his team and all."
Hinata shook her head, "I-I don't k-know, he h-has always been k-kind to m-me, he s-still wants to b-be f-friends. I w-won't deny h-him that. We a-are on a t-team together a-and that w-won't change because o-of this."
The as of yet unnamed boy nodded and the two continued to talk, Hinata could not believe how nice he was being to a loser like her. She was a failure, yet he was so nice to her, he treated her like Naruto used did, before all of this.
Then Hinata asked him another question, "D-do you t-think, t-that he just w-wasn't thinking s-straight?" The young heiress was hopeful, all she needed, all she wanted was for the boy to say yes.
The boy did not say yes however, instead he told her, "I think even if he was not thinking straight he hurt you, and you should not give him another chance, he hurt you. Do not let him just come back to you, you are better than that."
Hinata looked down sad, the boy smiled a devious smile as she looked away from him. The two continued to talk, the boy acting like he cared. Soon Hinata got up and thanked him for his help and the tea, he nodded and offered to walk her home. She accepted and the boy walked her home, when they got there the boy turned to her and said, "By the way, I never got your name, and I can't just walk away from a beautiful girl like yourself without getting your name."
Hinata blushed slightly, "Hinata Hyuuga, and yours?"
The boy smirked and replied, "Kabuto Yakushi."
Hinata nodded, thanked him again and walked into the giant gate to the Hyuuga complex.
Kabuto stood there smiling, and talked into the com, "Initial contact with the Hyuuga heiress complete, she trusts me."
