Chapter 40
Author's notes: Serious thanks to Danny vs A Month, seriously without him this whole story would be shit, he has helped with just about everything. Go check out his stories.
Naruto stood with the help of Kakashi as the Hokage walked down the wall and into the arena. Sasuke having been carted out to the actual hospital already. An ANBU jumped down into the arena and created a wooden stage with a jutsu as the Hokage walked over to it and climbed up.
Hiruzen gave a speech about strength and unity and peace among the nations. The same speech he gave to the chuunin hopefuls at the end of the second exam, enlightening everyone in the stands about the exams and why they did them with multiple nations.
Hiruzen then gave all of the competitors praise and said that everyone fought hard and well. He was proud of everyone of his Leaf ninja that participated and those of the Sand village as well. Then he called Naruto up onto the stage, Naruto thanked Kakashi left his side to walk up on his own strength. Naruto limped up to the stage and next to the Hokage.
"Now this boy here, is one that is very special to me, he fights through everything. He has never had an easy day in his life. He has been shunned for things he could not control. Orphaned on the day of his birth, yet he has become a light of hope. He has never given up, and always has an optimistic attitude. He aspires to be the next Hokage. He graduated at the bottom of his class, this year, but through hard work and sheer determination here he stands I give you this years Chuunin Exam tournament winner Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze! Son of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze the legacy of the Yellow Flash lives on in this young man. Most importantly however he carries forward the Will Of Fire from our very own First Hokage. Naruto congratulations all of your hard work is paying off."
Hiruzen handed him the trophy as the crowd cheered. Naruto let a tear fall from his eye, nobody had ever said anything like that about him. He lifted the trophy high into the air and pumped it up and down for all to see.
After the ceremony had ended for the chuunin exams Naruto and Kakashi headed to their house, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, and Shino, all going with them. Iruka heading to go get Ramen for the entire group. The Hokage and Jiraiya promising to come after they talked to Gaara. Anko however was nowhere to be seen, Kakashi thought nothing of it however as she had been distant as of late and Naruto had just won the chuunin exams just like he had himself, and Minato had as well.
When they got to the house and Iruka had brought ramen to them they ate and talked and laughed. No one mentioned Hinata but they all knew she was the only thing on Naruto's mind.
That's when Kakashi cleared his throat, "Naruto I was given this from my own dad," He said pulling out a Tanto, "I broke it on a mission I was on a long time ago, and never bothered to get it fixed and as my somewhat adopted son, when you started taking the chuunin exams I had it fixed, hoping to give it to you as a gift, passing it on to you if you made chuunin. Well you haven't officially made chuunin yet, but seeing as you won the exams just like I did once, well I thought you more than deserved it."
Kakashi handed him the tanto and he unsheathed it and swung it, a white chakra followed it as he swung.
Kakashi grinned, "It is the white light chakra sabre the sword that got my father the name White Fang. It is quite the weapon."
Naruto hugged Kakashi, it meant so much to him that Kakashi would give him such an incredible gift. Naruto had tears in his eyes, Kakashi really did treat him like he was family.
"Kakashi, I don't know what to say. This is one of the greatest things anyone has ever given me."
Kakashi grinned, "You have become like a son to me Naruto, I wouldn't have it any other way."
Naruto nodded grinning.
Anko, Jiraiya, and Hiruzen all sat in front of Gaara and the Sand siblings. They were explaining everything that had happened, with Orochimaru approaching the sand and convincing them to join him to attack the leaf or so they thought. They had recently found the body of their Kazekage, the sand siblings father dead.
"Kabuto brought us all of our orders from Orochimaru. There is no doubt he works for him." Gaara said.
Anko gritted her teeth, "So Orochimaru has my student Hinata, Why?"
Gaara shook his head, "I am sorry I don't know."
After asking many more questions Jiraiya took Gaara and looked at his seal. After thinking a little longer Jiraiya placed a new seal on the boy and grinned.
"Alright kid, you will now be able to sleep as much as you want, as well as have much more control over him. You will only ever hear his voice if you go talk to him. No more insane rantings."
Gaara nodded, "Thank you, how can I ever pay you back for this?"
Jiraiya laughed, "I only did it because Naruto asked me too. You owe him for this. He will come see you when he gets a chance. He just won the tournament though so he is celebrating. I am about to go see him now."
Gaara nodded, "Send him my thanks, and congratulations please."
Jiraiya nodded and left heading for Naruto's house.
Anko left straight to her house. She had a bone to pick with Orochimaru. As soon as she arrived at her apartment she walked in and went through hand seals, "Reverse summoning jutsu!" She yelled disappearing in a poof and appearing in the temple of the land of snakes. She sought out the master of the snakes, the elder snake.
"Bring Orochimaru here, NOW." Anko demanded of him.
The snake gave her a look before talking, "Anko you better have a good reason for this."
Anko gritted her teeth, she was so angry right now, "That bastard kidnapped my apprentice. She is like a daughter to me. I need to speak with him."
The snake nodded before telling her to go outside the temple. Anko did so and he followed, He was not happy it went against the way of the snake to do this. But Anko was always good to their kind. She treated them as friends and he felt they all owed her at least enough for a face to face with the other person contracted to them.
"Anko," The elder snake spoke up, "You know we can't interfere in this, you are facing him alone, I urge you to reconsider."
Anko wouldn't hear it though, "Get him here, now."
The snake nodded sadly, "Summoning jutsu!" he yelled out.
After a second Orochimaru appeared and at first he was pissed, but when he saw Anko he started to laugh.
"Anko my old apprentice, what can I do for you." The snake laughed out.
Anko was pissed, "I want my student back, now."
Orochimaru laughed, "Why would I ever do that Anko? Plus she is more for my apprentice to have fun with." Orochimaru grinned a sick grin.
Anko shuddered, "Please Orochimaru, Master, take me in her place, I will do whatever you ask of me." Anko begged the man, as much as she hated to do it, as much as she hated him, it was for Hinata.
Orochimaru laughed, "As fun as that sounds, no I will be keeping the Hyuuga." Then before Anko could act Orochimaru flicked his sword Kusanagi out and thrust it through her stomach.
Anko looked at her stomach shocked, as she coughed up blood. Her hands went down to the sword as she continued to choke. She quickly went through hand seals and used another Reverse summoning jutsu. Smoke appeared around her as she appeared back in her apartment. She fell down backwards falling through her glass coffee table. The table shattered around her glass impaling her as well.
Anko coughed up more more blood as she tried to drag herself towards the door. Slowly as she gasped trying to breath but it was no good. The sword has punctured her lungs as well as severed her spinal cord before extending out of her. She couldn't even move her legs. Tears started to fall from her eyes as she was in agony, weakly crawling towards the door. She reached towards it but her vision was slowly getting blurry. She started to grow cold as she stopped pulling her way to the door. Her arm dropped as her vision started to fade into black.
Jiraiya and Hiruzen had arrived and they were all enjoying the celebration that Naruto had won the tournament. Jiraiya and Hiruzen had both brought gifts for Naruto as well. Jiraiya gifting him with scrolls detailing high level seals, and Hiruzen with a scroll that had some high level jutsus on it as well. It was a great day for Naruto, except that two things were missing, first and most obviously being Hinata, if only she was here. He had to get her back. There was no other option for him.
The second thing missing was Anko, Naruto was kind of sad she wasn't here but she was probably upset about Hinata.
Naruto was talking to Kakashi when suddenly Kakashi got a worried look, something was deathly wrong. "Naruto! There is a Flying thunder god seal on a kunai at Anko's apartment. Get me there. NOW!"
Naruto nodded and grabbed Kakashi's shoulder making a hand seal. They both left in a flash and when they got there they couldn't believe what they saw. Anko was lying down in a puddle of her own blood, glass shards sticking out of her. Her hand was in the air pointing toward the door, trying to reach it. But it was dropping. Kakashi flashed over to her and picked her up bridal style before Naruto keyed into one of the Flying Thunder God seals in the hospital and as soon as he touched Kakashi's shoulder they were gone. disappearing to the hospital in a yellow flash.
Kakashi sat with Naruto, Shikamaru, Jiraiya and Hiruzen as they waited. It was three hours later when a doctor finally came out and gave them the news.
"I am sorry, we have done all we can, she is alive, but she will never walk again. She is paralyzed from the hip down. She will never be a ninja again. I'm sorry."
Kakashi walked out of the room and out of the hospital. He walked outside and sat on a bench. He sat there clenching his fists in anger. He would destroy Orochimaru for this. Anko was one of the last precious people he had left and she was now going to hate the rest of her life. She would hate not being a ninja, an inactive life was not one for her. Kakashi got up and disappeared, he reappeared in a training ground and started to punch trees tearing into them punching them as hard as he could. He had to get his anger, his sadness out somehow. How would Anko take this. She would be devastated.
Kakashi was brought out of his thoughts by Jiraiya catching his fist.
Kakashi looked up at the Sannin and glared, "What the fuck do you want. I want to be alone right now."
Jiraiya looked at him serious, "What good is this doing boy."
Kakashi yanked his hand back away from Jiraiya, "What fucking good is anything."
Jiraiya shook his head, "She is awake Kakashi she is crying she needs you. She forced everyone out from her room she won't talk to anyone. She needs you right now Kakashi."
Kakashi was furious, "And What the hell am I supposed to tell her? Huh! Sorry you can't be a ninja anymore. Sorry I wasn't there to protect you? Sorry there is nothing I can do to help you!"
Jiraiya sighed, "Those doctors don't know anything."
Kakashi laughed darkly, "her spinal cord was severed I saw it when I saw her laying there, saw it with my sharingan. Her chakra wasn't running through it to her legs, just move I need to blow off some steam."
Jiraiya frowned and grabbed Kakashi throwing him into the air and jumping up kicking at him.
Kakashi blocked the kick but was sent higher into the air, he grinned slightly he knew what Jiraiya was doing, he was sparring with him so they could blow off steam. Kakashi ran through hand seals and sent a fireball down at Jiraiya. Jiraiya used his Hairy needle jutsu to cover himself in chakra filled hair creating a hard shield as he kept coming. The two fought in mid air clashing punches and kicks. They landed and Kakashi rushed at Jiraiya, throwing everything he had at the Sannin. Jiraiya blocked everything, not with ease, but still doing it. He dodged the ones he didn't block and they went on fighting.
Finally Kakashi was out of breath and hands on his knees. Jiraiya was still standing but he was breathing hard. "Kakashi, you have improved but you have a lot to learn. A long way to go yet. If you went against Orochimaru you would be crushed. You have a lot of training to do. But first go see Anko she needs you. She needs a shoulder to cry on. You told me a few weeks ago you were in love to her. Prove it, be there for her through thick and thin. She needs you most now. I am taking Naruto and going to find Tsunade, hopefully Naruto can convince her to come back. If anyone can heal Anko its Tsunade. You and I both know it. Kakashi nodded and went to Anko.
He appeared in her room and immediately went to hug her.
"Get out Kakashi, please I don't want you here. In fact we are breaking up." Anko sobbed out as soon as she saw the man.
"Anko I am not leaving you any time soon, I am here for you no matter what." Kakashi told her as she wept. Kakashi hugged her and held her tight.
"Kakashi please, I can't give you what you want anymore, I am useless now, I can't do anything anymore it's over."
Kakashi shook his head, "Anko, I love you, there is nowhere I would rather be than here beside you."
Anko continued to cry, "Kakashi, please just...just kill me I don't want to live this kind of life!"
Kakashi shook his head, "Anko I won't do that, you are living through this and screw what the doctor said you will walk again, I know it. I am going to be here with you to help every step of the way."
Anko hugged the man for dear life as she continued to sob.
