Shikamaru tried to comfort the blonde but his efforts weren't cutting through the sobbing yet to gain the trust of the boy. The blonde flinched at any contact he tried to give, so he just stood there watching feeling so helpless. With all his training it couldn't was all put on the back burner as he had no idea on how to handle a situation like this. Waiting for the medic-nin was the best he could do as he keep eyes on the blonde haired boy.
The blonde just looked at his hands which were covered not in his blood this time but the blood of another. He had made a vow never to hurt someone because he knew what pain was and he hated it. The man tried to touch him making him flinch not knowing what the man wanted, he never figured out what he wanted. He just stared at the red liquid that was now drying on his hands.
Sakura and Choji had heard the hoarse screams from a slightly different location. They both headed towards that direction hoping to find their third teammate and maybe the blonde. Reaching an area where it had been trampled on like there had been a fight while she was talking to Sasuke.
Setting eyes on the brunette who seemed to be looking else where with a pained look. Rushing over and giving him a once over he was uninjured, he finally noticed the pinkette. "No, I'm alright. Naruto needs the medical attention I think." he spoke softly. Sakura's green eyes fell on blonde who had sheltered himself with his wings and she could she the trembling.
She tried to get close to the blonde but he kept his wings up like a barrier between him and her. She tried comforting the blonde but had resort to ordering him but neither helped in getting the blonde to open up. Tying her pink hair back with a serious face going on her pale skin didn't really suit her. She began checking the blonde over for any wounds on his extra parts he seemed to have. Since she didn't know what the blonde went through other then being grafted with large scaled animal parts.
The blonde felt hands on his wings then his back, he sat still as the hands scanned his back. He remembered being beaten for not being still and they would inject him with a muscle relaxent. Flashes of the past came flooded his vision and his memory of escaping finally came back. Jerking away from the foreign hands that had been touching him in the way the lab coats would. He used his wings to hit whoever was touching him, trying to get them away from him as he stood up with shakey legs. His blue eyes spotted three humans in different clothing standing back with something he didn't recognize the emotion in their eyes.
His azure eyes watched them, searching for something that might hint of his capture, he had killed a man and yet they were overlooking his overall health. He knew terms and language from the lab coats but he hadn't interacted with anyone to a personal level like the lab coats did with each other. He knew he was different since he was caged and that he didn't resemble the lab coats. Each seemed to similar to each other recognize other then their gender. He didn't like being touched, when touched by human's hands it always meant he was to be tested on or experimented.
Looking at them with harden eyes trying to formulate a plan, watching each move which seemed as if they were trying to move slowly. The woman spoke "We are not here to hurt you." as if he would believe anything that they might use to capture him and bring him back. He shook he head walking back as he did he felt rough material behind his back. Looking up quickly seeing something to bring him up again, taking the rod and hosting himself up and he kept going up with his wings close to his back.
Sasuke, Kiba and Neji had prisoners with them now so moving was slower then just them by themselves. As they kept moving towards the new given coordinates they hurried as much as they could with their cargo. They knew their leader would want what they all had found but also with that knowledge would be reprimanded for not capturing the lead scientist with the attack. Sakura had radioed their coordinates and what was happening but it was soon cut off after telling they had the blonde in a tree and Shikamaru was trying to talk him down.
Sasuke knew Shikamaru was smart but wasn't is just smarter to just knock the blonde out and drag him back. The raven didn't understand that if the blonde was smart or not just that he had ran away the last time they met.
Kiba looked back over the raven haired teammate who carried loads of paperwork. He himself wondered if the raven had grabbed the blonde's paper possibly so they could possibly know what the blonde went through.
Neji just kept his eyes on the prisoners who seemed to calm and collected but they also had been betrayed by their leader so why wouldn't they come willingly. His pales eyes always looked like he could see right through you and he could when he activated his blood line. But since he didn't need to he kept eyes on the fifty doctors and twenty guards they have roped together.
They all stopped when they stepped into a clearing that wasn't a clearing but a path leading in a direction. It was like a huge snake just trampled all the trees and bushes to get to something. Three pairs of eyes widen, Neji activated his byakyugan seeing the trail end a few miles down with the other three teammates. He couldn't see the blonde's chakra but kept scanning the area and saw a very bright angry chakra climbing a tree just ahead of the rest of their team.
Relaying this information they started running with having clones carry the prisoners. They had to bring the blonde back, he had been the spark of the team. The blonde could get anyone to smile and laugh which was its own talent. Seeing the blonde scared and scarred after being taken away from them for ten years. They thought he would have kept hope but he seemed to have lost it. They kept thinking he would put a fight up to being captured but he seemed almost broken.
The blonde is broken, his hope was crushed when he in the lab for the first year and having no one coming to save you for ten years would make you feel like you were and are useless to them. His azure eyes watched the humans belong now as he was in the top of his tower. He didn't know what he was on or what he was looking at other then humans and tools that could possibly take him back.
Noise came from far behind the three humans down beneath him, using his very keen eyes he could see the lab coats and uniformed men. Trembling as he knew what would happen if they caught him letting out scared noises from his lips while unconsciously spreading his wings open. Leaping of the tower he was on and flapping his tired wings to get him into an air currant but the air and wind didn't seem to work into his favor.
As he worked on getting further from the ground and into the sky, a suddened gust of wind caught him pulling him higher.
Sakura, Shikamaru and Choji watched the blonde scamper up the tree behind him like it was a life line. They didn't want to scare him further but didn't know what to do to keep him on the ground. Watching the blonde was what they could do, watching the boy's eyes widen in fear, they could make out faint whimpering noises.
What could make the blonde scared and act like a trembling frightened boy. Sakura radioed Sasuke again telling him the blonde took off into the air, poking Shikamaru with a small tube and needle. "Use this to shoot him down, we can't lose him again. It is only a light sleeping formula." she told him as she continued radioing Sasuke to move slower as the pinkette thought maybe the blonde could see them coming even though they where several miles out still.
The blonde flew higher faster now but suddenly felt something pinch his skin, looking down seeing a needle injection in his calf. Screaming out, he thought he was to far to be hit, he thought he could be free and away from the pain. They were their to capture him, he shouldn't have been curious about what the man was talking to him about whatever the man wanted. Vision blurring and muscles falling numb but he tried to fight off whatever they injected him with.
The blonde scanned the area quickly trying to think but his mind was drifting off into sleep. Scalpels and laughter behind his eyelids made him widen in fear shocking him out of his free fall. Turning his back up to the cloudy sky again and opening his wings getting an up draft. Whatever the had injected him with was not strong enough to keep him down. Flying off into sky once more trying to get away from the humans but his muscles are feeling like lead. He needed sleep but he knew he could sleep once he knew he was safely away from the humans.
Sakura, Shikamaru and Choji watched the blonde scream out but kept in the air for a little while until he started to free fall fast. Choji ran out to where the blonde might end up and waited. They watched with nerves on edge, they didn't want to do this but it seemed the only way. Something strange happened, the blonde woke up seconds later and started flying again.
"What happened, no one could wake up that fast from that." Sakura was outstanded that someone woke from her home brewed sleep formula. Taking out another higher dosage and passing it to Shikamaru. Shikamaru nodded as he sling shot the injection into the blonde who was still a little disoriented. The blonde started crashing through the trees and bushes now. Choji was nowhere to be seen until he came carrying the blonde in his arms. The blonde looked so small in comparison to the Akimichi clan, well anyone would be small compared to them.
"Naruto is sedated. Heading back to Konoha." Sakura radioed Sasuke's group letting them know they had the blonde. Hours later and Sakura used the last of her sleeping formula on the poor blonde. No one could understand why the blonde could wake in such a short period of time with Sakura's home brewed sedation which could knock the Akimichi clan members out cold for hours. The blonde seemed to be able to do things that a normal human being was not capable of doing.
As the six man squad entered the village more ninja from their extensive training came to help take their prisoners to the hokage tower. Sakura took Choji and the blonde to the hospital leaving the group to deal with the paper work.
They entered the hospital, Choji followed the pinkette who went down the hallways and turning every so often. He watched the blonde in his arms, he could feel the boy's ribs cage and the blonde barely weighed even a hundred pounds. He knew that the blonde was just above malnourished which wasn't much to say, as Sakura lead him into a secluded area of the hospital and into a room. He put the blonde boy onto the bed as they waited for Sakura's sensei to get here.
Not even a minute later a busty blonde haired woman came bursting into the room. Angry honey ambered eyes settled on the blonde on the bed and softened. She went over to the sedated blonde and started checking him over, she shook her head over and over as she started writing things down on a chart.
"This might not be Naruto. I will do a blood test. But this could be Naruto to, this boy has gone through traumic experiments from that crackpot that I used to call a teammate. I don't know the extensive of what Orochimaru has done just yet. Just from looking it doesn't look good. This boy looks about eighteen not even twenty yet. And his body is already covered with scars, I would say 35% of his body maybe even more. I need you to leave so I can do a complete check of this boy." the busty woman turned to talk to Sakura and Choji trying to stay calm.
"Yes Tsunade. Please keep me up dated so I can tell the Third Hokage about this." Sakura tried to stay calm after hearing this. She and Choji left Tsunade to check over the blonde in privacy.
Sasuke and his group brought their prisoners with them to the holding cells that they had here in Konoha. Putting the last of the crazy scientists and their body guards behind bars. This had a very good feeling until "The blonde you brought with you back here will never fit into human society ever. Subject 000340982 has never had contact with humans other then us. He will probably kill you if you turn your backs on him. That will be funny when you try to save your teammate ten years to late. I remember him screaming for you people to save him at first. It was actually pretty funny to here him scream that you people would come and rescue him. But we broke him down and since you never came it actually helped us make him into..." the scientist who was talking pretty highly about what they did was now choking.
The scientist tried to pry the fingers that were crushing his windpipe slowly. He gasped for air looking into red eyes of Sasuke Uchiha who now had the scientist up in the air "Talk about Naruto like that again you will know fate worse then death." with that he let go of the scientist. The scientist was gasping for air and coughing from the suddenness of being dropped. Sasuke turned and left with Neji, Kiba, Shikamaru following the raven haired out of the holding area.
The blonde wakes up feeling someone touching him, putting his arms up to defend himself against who ever is touching him. Blinking trying to clear his eye sight, eyes landing on a woman in a small white room. Letting out a growl and scampering off the bed, thinking she might have tried to do something like conducting tests on him. Getting into a corner of the room, wings covering his body. His azure eyes never once left the woman who showed another emotion he was unable to recognize.
He had been witnessing the new humans around him showing emotions other anger and smiling faces. These faces seemed to creep the blonde out, he has no memory before he was captured and used as an experiment.
Tsunade was checking the blonde's vitals when he started to stir, the blonde haired boy hit her hands away violently. She stepped back shocked, watching as the boy huddled in the corner wings creating a barrier between her and him. His eyes showed harden fear in them, her honey ambered eyes never left his azure blue ones. Her heart went out to the boy, he was beaten and used against his will. Tsunade took out some candy from her pocket eyes never leaving the other.
She knew she had to gain his trust and that would be a difficult and troubling task as she doesn't know what he has gone through. Taking the candy out of the wrapper and placing it in her palm and getting down to his level. Open hand like how you would for an animal, she watched the blonde as he lifted one wing slightly up and snatching the candy at high speed it took her a couple seconds to realize that he took the candy.
The blonde smelt something sweet and snatched whatever was in the woman's hand. Back in the safety of his wings, he study the round sweet smelling ball. Licking it and it tasted really sweet, popping it into his mouth and the round sweet ball started to melt. Never having something so sweet and tasty, looking up to the woman as he finished the sweet ball. He never spoke very little but knew if he wanted more he would have to ask for more. The blonde knew that if he did ask he could be punished but he had to know if this woman had more sweet balls*. Looking to the woman "C-can I-I h-have m-more?" innocently asking and shrinking back just incase if the woman might hit him for asking a question.
"Of course you can." the woman's voice was sweet and soft as she handed him another sweet ball. He let his wings rest back a little letting her see him slightly. She never put up a hand to hit him or got to close other then handing him the sweet balls. She seemed different then the lab coats and uniformed men from the confinements of where he had been.
Tsunade was beyond shocked that the blonde infront of her spoke much less asked her for more candy. She felt obligated since he probably never in ten years has had candy or a proper meal. Watching the blonde calm in her presence as he eat the candy, she didn't want to stress the blonde more then he looked. Surprising that the once loud knuckle headed boy turned into such a frightened adult, why did her old teammate do this. What happened to her bright bouncy blonde, how did he become this over sensitive self protective person. She knew she should tell everyone that he is actually eighteen since it will come up eventually. Lost in thought she felt something nudge her hand, looking down to see the blonde sniffing for more.
When did he get this close without her realization, he had started licking her hand as if asking for more. "Sorry but you ate all of my candy sweety." as she spoke this the blonde pouted "But how about we go get you something to eat.". Rubbing his ears which earned her a purring sound.
Sasuke, Shikamaru, Sakura, Kiba and Neji were in the infamous Hokage tower that was centered in the entire village. All crammed into an office beside the main office used for sending ninja out for missions and such. But this office was smaller and could only hold half of their group comfortably. They all stared at the old man sitting at the small desk, the old man had no visible scars but did have wrinkles showing he had lived a long life. "Third Hokage so what will happen to Naruto now that he has been brought back to Konoha?" Sakura asked after they had informed their leader about the labatory and the situation of the blonde.
"Sasuke and Sakura both of you will be put on his company during the day, at night Kiba and Neji will watch over him. Shikamaru you are to go through all these papers and figure out what is usable. Choji I will have you make his meal plans. Naruto what was his health when you brought him in. Your own personal opinion." the old man ordered their new missions and asked them wanting to know how Naruto was fairing.
"Not good, I had to sedate him so we could bring him back home. He doesn't recognize us. I don't think we can integrate him back into society. Shikamaru could only talk to him from a distance but he did protect him when they were attacked. Oops that slipped sorry Shikamaru." Sakura sort of rambled then realized what she was saying.
"Well we would have had to tell him eventually. This is troublesome as is, Naruto killed Orochimaru and totally freaked when he came too. That's the first reason we had to sedate him, we feared for his safety. Sakura administered the sedation but not to long after he began waking up so we had to keep sedating him ever half hour or so. Naruto does understand our language and able to speak but it does seem his mind reverted back in years." Shikamaru explained.
"So are you sure it was Orochimaru is dead? Naruto was the one who killed him, that is a shocking. Be careful when around him then, keep him locked up in the hospital until we can decide what actions we need to take. You may leave." the old man waved his hand in a shooing motion after Shikamaru confirmed that it was Orochimaru and they had brought back the body to be analyzed. The team left the room, 'What happened to you Naruto? I hope we can help. You seem strong even after whatever you were succumbed too.' thinking to himself as the last person closed the door.
They all walked silently together, knowing that each other wanted to check on their blonde and see how he was doing. As they began their way down the hospital halls, each one twisting into the next. Sakura was leading them to the room they had previously left the blonde, upon reaching the room. the pinkette opened the door slowly but let it slam open. They all looked over each other to get a glance at the room and it was empty, no doctor no blonde no one.
Sakura pushed past the men and started storming her way around the hospital, searching rooms and offices to where the blonde could have been taken. The men followed. Behind the enraged woman, after yelling at the nurses office the head nurse took the pinkette aside. "Tsunade took someone to her private lounge. So take your tantrum to her and leave my nurses alone." the head nurse spoke calmly but harshly to Sakura. Sakura blushed and turned on her heel and began again to walk the twisted hallways again.
They reached a misty set of doors, Sakura opened the door as gasped at what she was witnessing. Naruto was sleeping on her Sensei's lap, Tsunade looked up from petting the blonde's ears. "Finally found us. Shhh. He just fell asleep, he had some food to fill him." she spoke in a whispered tone making the fox ears on top of the blonde's head twitch.
Sakura tiptoed in to take a seat on the opposite couch and her team followed in one by one. Each other awe struck as the saw their blonde on Tsunade's lap, they knew her to be tough and harden koninchi. But here she was with their blonde resting in her lap, even Shikamaru was stunned since it seemed the blonde trusted her more. "Candy does wonders" she broke their silence.
The blonde stirred on something warm, opening his eyes slowly he felt a warm touch on his ears. Loving the feeling of being touched like this, a purr escaped his throat. This felt so blissful, no more experimentation, no more needles or test. He stretched on what felt so warm to sit up so he could look around himself. Seeing new humans in the room sent warning signals up and down his spine. Getting up unto his feet and running to a the furthest corner "Hey hey it's alright they are ok. They won't hurt you." the woman who had been nice came over to him. He felt like his body was shaking as more he spotted more humans in the huge room. "What does hurt mean?" the blonde asked now puzzled.
"Hurt means if someone hits you ontop of the head and pain is in that area of being hit." the woman tried to explain to him. But he still didn't understand "Like when lab coats put their hands inside and play around? Is that hurt?" trying to grasp at the new words the woman was saying. "What?! Yes when a person causes pain it is hurting you." the woman shouted out with disgust at what had been said but calmed when she saw his eyes.
"I will teach you more later but right now I need to go. These people are here to protect you." Tsunade tried to explain when Naruto whined at her "They won't do what the lab coats did. I will be back later okay?" Naruto nodded in defeat. She didn't want to leave him but she still had patients to attend to. Getting up and walking over to group "He is very traumatized. Naruto does know how to talk but is very sensitive since it looks like the beat him to silence him. I will update you when I have finished my report about this and it is not good so far. Be slow with him no sudden movements. Here is some food. He likes candy. Got to go now bye." Tsunade left the room.
The blonde stayed in the corner sitting and watching the six humans as they sat on the two couches that occupied the room. They seemed to move slowly as they had been directed by the woman who left him here with these humans.
"So how should we gain his trust? We can't just treat him like an animal can we?" Choji started eating a bag of chips. "No, Geez Choji he is still human mostly. We should still treat him as such." Kiba barked at the man who was munching on potato chips. "I agree but how are we supposed to get close to him when he won't allow us close enough to interact with him." Neji pointed out the obvious situation to his team.
"We could try the candy, like Tsunade-Sensei said he enjoys candy." Sakura tried to smile pointing out the candy on the coffee table. Sasuke and Shikamaru just seemed to have their own silent conversation going on.
The blonde heard what they were talking about not letting his guard down. Looking to the door then them, they seemed busy talking with each other as he started slinking to the door hoping no one would notice as he slipped out the door. He started walking down a random direction not knowing which way to go. His eyes searching for a way out or the woman who gave him some warm feelings that he hadn't felt what feels like an eternity. Walking down the twisting hallways mapping it in his mind.
Sakura was getting tired of hearing her teammates plans on how to gain Naruto's trust. She looked back to the corner where they left him eyes shoot wide open. "He is gone, We need to separate and find him asap!" Sakura exclaimed to her team. They followed her eyes and were out the door before anyone could say anything. Everyone was racing around the hospital trying to find the blonde, checking patient rooms and lounges but coming up empty.
Neji ran down several halls then skidded to a halt, deadpan expression hit his face like a brick wall "Byakyugan.". He searched the hospital trying to find the blonde. Seeing through walls and people, looking and stopping as he began to witness multiple people surrounding a fetal position person that resembled their blondes.
Neji started again with a known destination in mind, hoping the blonde could stay calm until he could get there.
Kiba had started tracking the blonde's scent after leaving the room. Which lead him astray in the first few hallways. Moving on the blonde who had somehow escaped the private lounge they had been in minutes prior.
Sasuke went in a different direction then the others hoping someone was able to find their blonde faster if they split up. After getting to the second floor, stopping in his tracks and a frown was now placed on his stoic face. 'Kiba and Neji will find him before I even get close. I forgot they were our trackers. Damn hope I can find one of them before the blonde now.'
Sakura was looking for either Kiba or Neji since she was going to say before they abruptly left before a plan could be issued. She shook her head in disapproval trying to find her team.
The blonde looked up from his crouching position, eyes meeting the little human eyes that seemed to stare in curiosity at him. They had surrounded him into a corner where he was now, he had hissed at them but they made a funny noise. They started grabbing at his ears and tail along with touching his wings, were these things supposed to become more lab coats and uniformed men. He had so many questions but his fear and instincts always told him to stay quiet or else bad things come.
"Pretty." "Are you here to cheer us up?" "What are you?" questions were shouted at him. He looked at them with fear but they didn't roughly touch him or poke and prod him. They seemed just as curious as he was about them. Sniffing a little one in the face who stood closest to him, "Hi, I'm Emmi. I'm in here to get better they told me I'm sick." the little humans had one white gowns similar to what he had on before. "What is this place? Your not white lab coats?" the blonde asked as he sat on his bottom letting the little humans climb onto him.
"No those are doctors and they aren't all bad. Some are really mean though. This is the hospital, where people come to get better silly." the Emmi little human made that funny noise. "What is that you are doing? What is that noise?" the blonde asked as more of the funny noise came from the other little humans that were on his wings. "Don't you know what laughing is?" Emmi asked the blonde with a little shock.
The winged boy shook his head "It is a noise everyone makes when they are happy. Or if something is funny." Emmi tried to explain to the blonde for being only ten years old herself. The blonde still didn't get it, the lab coats kept him away from most things that they thought was fun and punished him for whatever reason they could think of. This felt different and strange his cheeks felt tugging as he smiled for the first time in nine years. He rubbed his head against the little human who giggled even more at the silliness of the blonde.
The blonde doesn't know about personal space or human manners other then looking away or looking into their eyes when speaking or spoken too. He could see the coldness in their eyes and these little humans had no such coldness.
Neji and Kiba skidded to a halt infront of each other. They had tracked the blonde to the children's wing of the hospital. They walked into the patient lounge that was set up like a child care room, it helped the children interact and to help get them healthier for when they left the hospital. They peered into the room backs to the wall just in case if the blonde would attack them. Instead the two shinobi watched as the blonde played with some of the hospital children, the man they were watching was careful and not rough with the children.
They just looked back at each other dumb struck at how the blonde was smiling and laughing with the children. "How can he be so relaxed with them but not with us?" Kiba whispered to Neji, the paled eyed brunette shrugged as he knew it could be several things but explaining it would just be a hassle when they already have to deal with the blonde.
The blonde stopped playing with the little humans once he heard two other humans at the doors. Trying to hide underneath a table that was meant for little kids to use isn't the best place to hide. The children giggled at him, but he was afraid that the two men outside the room might take him back to the cage and labs.
The little human Emmi looked at the door frame and saw two men standing there, walking over "Kiba you came to visit did you bring Akamaru today?" the little girl asked. "Sorry Emmi not today. Akamaru is at home sick, maybe next time you can see him. Have you happened to see a blonde haired man around by chance?" Kiba asked the girl as she blushed.
"Yes I have but you have to find him we are playing hide and go seek. That is how you'll find him. Go easy on him, he us really really shy." Emmi whispered the last part to Kiba so only he could hear as he nodded. Emmi giggled an ran to hide leaving Kiba and Neji a little flabbergasted.
The blonde stayed under the table in fear but he heard Emmi fully even when the little human lowered her voice. The man from before started searching the room finding the little humans who started giggling once they were found. Fear racing as the man got closer and closer, he could hear his own heart beat which was beating extremely fast by this point.
The blonde closed his eyes hoping he would just take the little humans and leave him be. But that it never the case and he knew that, opening his eyes and staring into brown dark slited eyes. He knew he had been found but the man just stayed like that never moving "Found you." is what he heard from the man's mouth. That was never a good sign from his past experiences it meant trouble for him letting out a long hiss to warn the man above the table to back away or get what would come after.
The winged boy growled lightly warning the man he did not like what was happening. Baring his teeth at the man who was now kneeling down to look into his eyes. "I am not here to hurt you. I am here to take you back to your room." the man spoke slowly to him, thinking the room would be his cage or the table he had been put on for them to test things on him. Extending an hand out and swatted at the man's face, the man backed away and screamed in pain.
Sure the little blonde promised to himself he wouldn't hurt anyone but he was protecting himself from the strangers that seemed a little familiar.
(flash back)
"Naruto! Get back here, your to far ahead. Wait for the signal." a pinkette whispered yelled to the blonde who was roughly twenty meters ahead of her. "Yeah Naruto we should wait for Sasuke's signal before we even go ahead. Who knows what is infront with out their assistance." a boy with red triangles on his cheeks added to make their point. The blonde didn't care he wanted to get in on the action, they thought he was older since he lied about his age to get in on the mission.
He wanted to find someone, and answer to his many questions he had.
(end of flash back)
The blonde shook his head from the memory fragment that popped up from nowhere. It was before he was taken, looking at the man who was now holding onto his cheek that was bleeding. Looking at the man's cheeks to see that they had the same triangles as the boy from his memory. "K-k...a" the blonde tried to remember the boy's name.
Kiba was holding onto his cheek with a scowl on his face, why did the blonde have to swipe at him. How did he have such sharp nails, "K-k...a" he heard a husky strained voice. Looking down at the blonde with almost a glare, but stopped when he saw the blonde trying to figure something out. "...ba.." the blonde tried again as if trying to remember, making Kiba smile.
"I'm Kiba, Naruto do you remember me?" Kiba dropped to his knees to let the blonde get a good look at him. The blonde strunk back but shook his head but then nodded making the brunette a little confused.
"Okay back off Kiba, Naruto here seems to be scared of you." Tsunade walked in "I came to check on him and you and your team where missing with my patient. So I had to track everyone and I finally found you along with Neji badgering Naruto who seems to have troubling remember anything past eight years old. Now before I get more pissed leave while you are still in one piece." she warned him as he scampered out of the children's play room with Neji.
Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, Kiba, Neji, Choji, Rock Lee, Tenten, Ino and Shino were in the office of the Third Hokage who had a grim look. Hinata came bursting in with arms full of paper work "Sir, I have brought all the files requested." setting the files down on the desk and taking a spot beside her friends.
The third hokage grunted in acknowledgment "I hope you all know why you are all here. Getting straight to the point, Naruto Uzumaki has little to no recognition and I have also found out when he first was taken from us that he was eight years old. He had lied about his age, now when he returned with the mission I sent some of you on he has about thirty to forty percent scar tissue on his body. With that said, Tsunade is still looking into what other tests he was subjectated too. Other then the known knowledge of Naruto's extra animal anatomy, we have little knowledge of what he has been through since he is still uncooperative about talking. Hearing that he knows about our language still but is only able to speak for short amounts of time." Sarutobi coughed allowing his throat get some moisture back.
"I need someone I don't care who but some to get him to talk and figure out what happened. To figure out how he is still alive along with evaluate him. So that is your mission, all of you must try to see who he will open up to then use that person to help him." the third stated to the ninja infront of his desk.
They all left the office once again, their mission changed yet again hopefully someone in their group could get him to open up.
