Naruto

Summary: Life has been peaceful in the hidden leaf village, along with the other grate nations. In fact, it seemed as if nothing could go wrong. But, suddenly, when the Kages of the five grate nations all receive a threat from an unknown enemy who apparently is apparently planning on attack the Hidden leaf village…with a new Tailed Beast that can only be sealed away within a person whose chakra is compatible with its own. The person? Sai.

Kiza: hello everyone, this isn't my first Naruto story, I actually had been working on one with this same concept, but due to personal issues, I threw it out and thus, this story was born...now, not gonna lie, my guilty pleasure is NaruSai. X3 anyway, please review and enjoy!

Chapter 2

Looking around with worry, Naruto gets up off of the painter; who slowly sits up and looks around. What in the hell was going on? Was this a genjutsu? But, no, that couldn't be it, or Sakura would have said something by now. either way, this wasn't a good sign, suddenly, the dark silhouette of a man appears in the sky, his eyes a bright gold. For whatever reason, this sent a shiver down Sai's back.

"W-what in the world...?" Sakura mumbles as she looked up at the silhouette in the sky, she stands up, pulling Sai to his feet with her, frowning the teen watches as the outline of the man looks around, until his eyes land on what appears to land on the Hokage building.

"Time is running out Kage of the five great nations…. the time is approaching and soon…things will come to full swing. One way or another. consider this, the last warning you will get." The loud, booming voice warns, this causes everyone in the hidden leaf and more than likely, in the other villages to get scared, and angered looks. Growling, Naruto's fists clench tightly, who the hell did this guy think he was!? threatening the Kage of all the villages like that.

"And who the hell do you think you are!? And what the hell are you talking about!?" Naruto asks with anger; this causes the two teens to look at him with shock. He just had to go and try to pick a fight, but, not like his teammates could blame him. they were just as angry about this sudden threat, Naruto growls as the man looks at them.

"I see, the host of the nine tailed fox…Kurama is its name. I know all about you Uzumaki Naruto, and I know all about the old hosts for the other tailed beasts. So don't think anyone is safe. I have given my warning. You better not let me down Kage." And with that, as quickly as they sky went dark, it was back to normal, blinking, the three teens look around before their gazes stop on one another.

"To the Hokage?" Sai asks, Naruto nods.

"To the Hokage."

"That guy has guts; I'll give him that."

"Yeah, but not like it's a good thing. That means, if the Kage are running out of time, means that he had threatened them once already." Sakura explains, crossing her arms and taking a moment to think, the blond haired teen nods as he also crosses his arms. Sai merely watches them with a blank expression, he knew exactly what was going on, but it was always better for them if they just stayed in the dark.

At least that way, they wouldn't know what was going to happen, and wouldn't know where he was going to be at the time of the man's plan was to be put into motion. But, even so, he found it strange how the man easily, outright told them of his plan, and even gave them time to find a solution. Perhaps he thought that they wouldn't find the solution to the problem. Then again, he couldn't say that what was planned really was a solution. It was merely a hunch by Kakashi and normally, his hunches where never wrong. Sighing, he turns and starts to walk away, if he left now, the other two wouldn't notice until he was long gone. He needed to speak to the Hokage about this, if time was running out, that means the plans are to be set in motion today, no later.

"that man has a lot of nerve. Looks like we'll have to start preparations sooner than expected." Tsunade explains, standing up, Yamato and Kakashi merely watch her. "You two know what you have to do. let none of the others find out about the plan."

"You know that's going to be hard right? This is Naruto we're talking about here. hes bound to fi-"

"He won't. I can assure you." turning around, Yamato frowns seeing Sai walk into the room and close the door behind him. he comes to stand in between the two adults who then look back at Tsunade. She sighs and leans back in her chair, this was simply becoming more and more complicated. "I talked to her."

"Did you? and?"

"She'll do it. but she wants to teach it to me first. So she says give her two days." Sai explains, his hands hanging limply at his side, the blond haired woman groans and pinches the bridge of her nose. "She won't help otherwise. And I don't blame her." Suddenly the woman was standing, she had slammed her hands on the table, Yamato flinched a bit while Kakashi sighed heavily. The teen, didn't even blink. "have I said something wrong Lady Hokage?"

"Do you think this is a game!? I understand why she wants to teach you, I understand you and that woman-"

"That woman, is my mother Lady Hokage, so you'll have to excuse me for wanting to go along with her plan." Sai cuts in, giving the woman a blank expression. Sighing, she shakes her head. "Lady Hokage….please…she can help…her-"

"Her bloodline trait can quell even the angriest living thing so long as the heart wills it." Tsunade finishes, rubbing the back of his head, Yamato looks at Kakashi who shakes his head. "Fine ill agree to it." hearing that, Sai smiles and bows before turning to leave. "Sai."

"Yes?" he turns to look at her.

"Don't forget." She states simply. He nods before walking out and closing the door, the woman lets out a sigh and collapses back into her chair, the men give her sympathetic looks.

"Im sorry about that Lady Hokage…hes normally not like that." Yamato explains to her, she waves her hand in a dismissive manner. She didn't care, and she couldn't blame him, he was making a big sacrifice for the village, and she knew that the village would not be so kind to him afterwards. And that worried her, despite his 'emotionless' training and experience he had, it would still be painful for him. and it didn't help that recently he had met his mother.

There had been a reason why she had to abandon him. it was for his safety at the time, so she left him in the care of an orphanage at a young age, from there, he was taken in by Danzo and trained in ROOT. She didn't like that idea, but she was never far from him even if she couldn't be the one to take care of him. but she did keep watch over him from afar. She had even bought an apartment next to his, turns out, Sai was quite a good neighbor apparently from what she used to tell her. He always helped her out whenever she needed it, she would often make small baked goods for him as well, even kept an eye on his place while he was away on missions. It hadn't been until recently that she had told him that she was his mother and everything that happened as to why she couldn't raise him.

He understood, he held no hate or anger towards her. He didn't blame her for anything. She supposed that was a good thing. She sighs and rubs her temples, she was getting a headache from all of this, she leans back in her chair and looks out the window, she could see the said painter walking down the street. Now, all he had to do was wait, and she had to put the seal on him.

Within a small apartment, a woman with long black hair, and pale skin sits in front of a piano, next to her was Sai, gently playing the last part to a slow, soothing, yet sad melody on the said instrument that the woman had in the middle of her living room. His gloves sat on the bench next to him, the woman had her eyes closed, at peace. Opening his eyes slowly, he looks down at his hands as his fingers glided across the keys due to muscle memory, he looks at the woman out of the corner of his eyes. she takes a deep breath,

"You are the ocean's gray waves

Destined to seek

Life beyond the shore

Just out of reach

Yet the waters ever change

Flowing like time

The path is yours to climb

In the white light

A hand reaches through

A double-edged blade cuts your heart in two

Waking dreams fade away

Embrace the brand new day

Sing with me a song

Of birthrights and love

The light scatters to the sky above

Dawn breaks through the gloom

White as a bone

Lost in thoughts, all alone." He smiles and continues to play as she continued to hum softly, a smile on her face as she opens her eyes, showing dark, oxen eyes, she looks at the teen and smiles warmly. She leans her head on his shoulder as he lays his head on hers and keeps playing, both now humming softly.

Finally, after what it seemed to be hours of him playing, the woman gently places her hand over his, stopping him from playing, he lifts his head and looks at her as she sits up straight and sighs, a happy smile still on her face. She stands up and walks to the kitchen, he watches her silently and slips his gloves back on.

"One day, I hope that you'll finish the song with your own lyrics." The woman states, the said teen looks over at her and blinks as she walked back over and places a cup of warm tea in front of him. "After all, it's our clan's pride and joy…that song." He nods. "Even if our clan name was lost ages ago, the song allows us to know who is part of the clan. And I hope, that one day, you'll sing it for your children." The teen chuckles.

"Oh come now, Mother. Me? Children? I have high doubts." He states, drinking a bit of his tea, the woman laughs softly and sits back next to him, this time, both now facing away from the Piano.

"Oh come now darling son of mine. You would make a wonderful father." She states, the teen blushes and shakes his head.

"Oh no, no, no." he then looks down at his lap, the woman nods as she looks out the window, the sky now holding many different shades of yellow and orange. She hadn't realized how much time had actually passed. She frowns as sets her cup aside before putting her hand on her son's knee, he looks at her with curiosity. "Mother?"

"It's alright to be scared…what you're doing for your village…it's a big thing." Sai frowns as he looks away and out the window.

"Compared to what you have to do..…I don't have the right to feel scared."

"If it means for the greater good, then so be it," she smiles and cups his cheek, turning his head so that he was then looking at the woman. She strokes his cheek with her thumb then kisses his forehead, the teen closes his eyes and holds her free hand with both of his. "It's my will of fire. And I'll have no regrets." She explains to him, her tone stern, yet soft. The pale skinned teen nods slowly as she then stands up once again, he watches her carefully. "Time is short my beloved son," she mumbles, holding her hand out, he reaches out and grasps her hand, allowing her to pull him to his feet. He frowns knowing where they were headed. "Come my child…it's time." He nods slowly, but refuses to let go of her hand as she and he walk out of the apartment and head out to the Hokage building.
