Chapter 4: The Difference is the Differences
(Konoha Hospital)
"So N-Naruto-Kun, a-are you e-excited to be released t-today?" asked Hinata as she sat in a chair next to her blond haired crush.
'I can't believe how quickly Naruto has healed. The doctor said it might take two or three weeks but Naruto is all better after one. Strange.' Hinata put these thoughts in the back of her mind for now.
Today was the day Naruto would get to go home after the hellish beating that put him in the hospital. Hinata made sure to visit with Naruto every day that week just to make sure he was doing well. Which surprised Naruto greatly.
'Hinata has visited every day that I have been here. Does she like me? Why else would she visit?' Naruto was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of Hinata's voice.
"U-umm Naruto-Kun d-did you h-hear me?" asked the shy Hyuga.
"Oh hai Hinata-chan. Sorry about that I sort of zoned out for a moment." Responded the boy.
Hinata turned a light shade of pink at Naruto's use of the honorific. She and Naruto had grown closer in their short time together but Naruto always had a way of making Hinata blush.
"Hey Hinata-Chan if you don't mind me asking why have you come to see me so much? We never really talked before, and no one else from school has visited but you." Asked Naruto out of curiosity.
Turning an even darker shade of pink Hinata stammered out a response.
"W-well y-you s-s-see I v-volunteer h-here o-often s-so I j-just visit w-when I a-am d-done." While it was true that Hinata helped at the hospital in her spare time, she did not do so every day. If she was honest with herself she just wanted to spend time with Naruto.
"Oh…" was all Naruto could say. 'Why would I think someone like her would visit me just to check up on me? Of course it was just something to do while she was already here. I am so stupid'. Naruto tried to maintain a neutral face, but Hinata being an observant Hyuga noticed the crestfallen expression Naruto was trying to hide.
"N-Naruto-Kun a-are you a-alright?" asked Hinata.
Naruto flashed his goofy smile "Of course Hinata-Chan . Even though it's a complete waste of your time I am glad you came to visit with me." Naruto answered.
'I must have said something to hurt his feelings. That goofy smile is one he only uses to hide his pain. Damn it Hinata why must you be so cowardly?' Hinata silently reprimanded herself before speaking again.
"It isn't a-a w-waste of t-time N-Naruto-Kun y-you a-are m-my f-f-friend." Hinata was trying to make amends for hurting Naruto, but her shyness kept her from being truthful with the blonde.
"W-we are friends?" asked Naruto with trepidation in his voice
"W-well I-I would l-like to b-be f-f-friends. I-if you d-don't I u-understand" Hinata spoke with her own fear laced within her words
"No!" shouted Naruto suddenly causing Hinata to jump "Gomen Hinata-Chan. I would like to be your friend very much" responded Naruto in a small but excited voice.
"Me too." Replied the nervous Hyuga.
While friendships were being made at the hospital one blacked haired boy was feeling very lonely at this moment.
(Streets of Konoha)
Uchiha Sasuke was walking home carrying fresh groceries, and thinking about a certain pink haired girl surprisingly.
'Man Sakura started crying when she saw me in class AGAIN. Did I really hurt her feelings that badly? Iruka sensei is still pretty pissed, but at least most of the girls have stopped fawning over me, but now none of my classmates speak to me…..' Sasuke was brought out of his thoughts suddenly.
"Uchiha-Sama do you required assistance?" asked one of the vendors Sasuke was walking by.
'And so it begins.'
"No thank you sir." Suddenly people started to crowd the boy offering him help, and marriage proposals for their daughters.
"Uchiha-Sama let me help you with that"
Uchiha –Sama we would be honored if you married our daughter, and just so you know she is quite beautiful."
"No thank you, now if you will excu..." Sasuke began to say before being cut off
"Uchiha-Sama you look tired I can give you a ride home on my cart" another vendor offered
"Uchiha-Sama I can….."
"Uchiha-Sama we would like to…"
"Uchiha-Sama" "Uchiha-Sama "Uchiha-Sama"
Sasuke couldn't handle it anymore.
"FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD ON KAMI-SAMA'S GREEN EARTH SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Sasuke's anger quickly silenced the crowd
"I don't want your help, and I don't want your daughters. If you really wanted to help me you could bring my dead family back to life, and since none of you can do that kindly FUCK OFF!"
After Sasuke vented some of his frustrations he promptly sped off towards his house, and away from the eyes of the villagers, who simply stood there in shock of the Uchiha's anger. As Sasuke entered his apartment building he rushed up three flights of stairs, and into his suite that overlooked the village. Closing the door Sasuke fumed with anger.
"I can't believe these people, always sucking up to me. Treating me like some heavenly body, and never even getting to know me! I just – I just want ….. FUCK" sasuke yelled out loud before kicking a wall hard enough to leave a dent. Sasuke then put the groceries down, and flipped a switch on his record player. His favorite song "Sakura" began to play, and he began to dance. None knew that Sasuke had a passion for dance, and Sasuke desperately needed the stress relief that he received from it. What started as very basic slow turns and subtle hand movements soon turned to intricate spins, and flowing body movements. Each move perfectly timed with the song, and was passionately executed. Sasukes dance was breathtakingly powerful, and if someone were to watch they would swear Sasuke was an angel of Dance meant to entertain Kami Himself. As the song neared its climax he began to do cartwheels in his spacious suite. These cartwheels were not fast ,as a matter of fact they were painstakingly slow ,and each movement was accentuated to the extreme showing off the young boys perfect muscle control, and upper body strength . When the final note of the song was played Sasuke's feet touched the ground gently, and Sasuke took a deep calming breath before exhaling.
'I needed that.' Thought the boy to himself, as he then began to put his groceries away, and prepare for a light dinner alone.
(Hokages Office): violence ahead
The third Hokage sat in his chair, and was listening intently to the reports of Kakashi, and Yamato. After hearing everything they both had to say the third spoke.
"So according to Yamato the only individuals who use red ribbon for their weapons are code name Cat, and Dragon is that correct?"
"Hai Hokage-Sama" replied Yamato
"And the matches up with Naruto's testimony Hokage-Sama" spoke the copy Ninja
"Good, but to be completely one hundred percent sure let's ask them ourselves." Snapping his fingers the Hokage summoned two mask wearing ANBU
"Fish, and Hawk I want you to bring Dragon, and Cat here as soon as possible. Tell them that it is very urgent." The Hokage calmly ordered much to Kakashi's surprise.
'How can he be so calm?' Kakashi thought to himself but didn't say anything.
After about fifteen minutes Cat, and Dragon appeared in the room along with Fish and Hawk.
"Ah thank you for bring these two here for me. You may return to your regular duties." Spoke the Hokage
"Hai Hokage-Sama." The ANBU responded before vanishing in a swirl of leaves.
'The moment of truth is upon us' thought the old man before speaking.
"Ah Dragon, and Cat. Two of my best ANBU members I am so glad you could join us." Said the Hokage in mock happiness
"How may we serve you Hokage-Sama?" asked Dragon.
"Straight to business then. About a week ago a young boy by the name of Uzumaki Naruto was admitted to the hospital with some fairly serious injuries. We all were just wondering if you two knew anything about this incident?" asked the aging shinobi in a neutral voice.
"Oh that. Yeah we might of roughed him up a bit." Said Cat
"Oh really? Why might I ask did you "Rough him Up" as you said?" asked the Hokage
Dragon began to speak. "Well he threw a paint filled balloon at me, and paint takes forever to remove from the uniforms, but if he had to go the hospital we might have overdone it a bit with the demon brat."
Sarutobi began to laugh. "Ha ha ha ha overdone it? hahahahaha you hear this guy Kakashi? He says he might have overdone it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH."
Suddenly the Hokage removed his white robe, revealing his battle armor. Moving with speed no one thought the Hokage had, Dragon, and Cat were lifted in the air by their necks.
"You two beat a child, shattered bones in his arms and legs, carved a pentagram into his flesh, and made sure that it would stay there for his entire life, and you dare stand in my office saying you OVERDID IT A BIT!." The Hokage was releasing godlike amounts of killing intent towards to two ANBU he held aloft. Looking to Kakashi he barked out an order.
"Kakashi take off their legs!"
"With pleasure Hokage-Sama" Kakashi responded before flashing through hand signs, and activating his signature jutsu. A deafening crackle of electricity could be heard as Kakashi seemed to be holding lightning itself.
"Rakiri!" shouted Kakashi as he pulled up his hitai-ate, and revealed his Sharingan eye. In one swift motion he sliced off the legs of Dragon and Cat at the knee, simultaneously cauterizing the wound to prevent bleeding out. Kakashi deactivated his Raikiri.
Cat, and Dragon wailed in pure pain at losing their legs. The Hokage then dropped them on their burnt stumps causing another yelp of pain to escape their mouths. Watching as the two ANBU rolled on the ground Sarutobi could only feel disgust towards them.
"You two have been sentence to death effective immediately, but not before I "overdo it" with you first. Spoke the man as he moved toward the ANBU.
All of Konoha seemed to become silent as screams of sheer agony echoed through the village. The beating was so brutal that Ibiki, and Anko would get a tad nauseous just speaking about it. Yamato, and Kakashi would be stunned by the utter brutality that the normally calm, and serene Hokage would display. Cat, and Dragon would die that day, but it would take a few weeks to clean all the blood.
Authors Note: very happy chapter today. So Naruto has made a new friend, and Sasuke is a dancer. Yes Sasuke Uchiha is a dancer. My sister and I came up with the idea in order to give him a bit more depth as a person. So he dances, and he is damn good at it. Also Cat and Dragon are dead so that's a plus. Well that's all for this chapter. Please please PLEASE review so I can know what I am doing well, and what I can improve. I notice I am getting a decent little fanbase reading but not reviewing.
