The next day Naruto woke up before dawn. He laid there for a little while with Hinatas head on his shoulder. Naruto finally got up and got ready for the day. Carefully he snuck out of the room and down the hall to where everyone had left thier packs by the door. He searched through Kakashi pack and got Sasuke headband. Naruto went outside and away from the house a little bit.
After he got away he summoned 4, 1 tail foxes, he then said "I want you to do something for me. I want you to sniff this headband and try and follow his scent. If you find him keep an eye of him. 1 of you come and notify me where he is and if he is with anyone. Do not engage him." Each of the foxes sniffed the headband and nodded before taking off.
Naruto quitely made his way back inside. As he closed the door a female voice behind him said "You know, its not nice to go through others stuff without permission."
Naruto spun around quickly but relaxed when he saw Rin. Naruto said "I know but I dont like lose ends like that and until we know for sure I dont want to be second guessing every action concerning him."
Rin nodded and said "Kakashi-kun told me about him yesterday why we were at the bridge. He also told me a little about you. So tell me about yourself."
Naruto said "Well, not much to say. I lived a lie my whole life, I am stronger than I should be but I am not all powerfull. I am actually pretty smart but when it comes to somethings I guess I will always be an idiot. I would do anything to protect my precious people and the lie I have had to live made my life hell. Other than that I am just an average 12 year old for about another week."
Rin nodded and said "So mind telling me what you did with the headband that you had to be secretive."
Naruto sighed and said "Tracking, I had some of my summonings try and track him and determine if he left on his own or as a prisoner. Now mind telling me how you knew I was awake, I thought I was pretty good at hiding my presance."
Rin nodded and said "You actually are pretty good but I have been held captive by that stupid Gato with my daughter for about 2 months now and I could not make an escape out of fear of what would happen to her. I have been training her most of her life in medical applications but in the fighting applications I only gave her a little better that gennin skills. I was hoping she would not have to worry about killing, instead healing."
Naruto said "I understand. Thy shall do no harm, the creed of the medical field. Sadly if you ad the word ninja to it you also live a life of lies."
Rin looked at him and said "I see what you mean by being smarter than you look."
Someone started comming down the stairs and Naruto saw it was Briana. Briana blushed a little when she saw Naruto and said "Mom, I was wondering where you went. Is everything ok."
Rin said "Yeah, just getting to know Naruto here. He is on your dads team."
Briana said "Its a pleasure to meet you Naruto-kun, if you dont mind I would like to talk to my mom about something."
Naruto nodded and went into the kitchen to start making some rice for everyone when they woke up.
Once Naruto was gone Rin looked at her daughter and said "Kun, whats up with that."
Briana said "I dont know what you mean, anyways the reason I wanted to talk to you is about Kakashi. Its hard for me to think of him as my dad right now. Like why was he not here for us, why did we always have to be on the move. How come he acted all suprised when you said he was my dad."
Rin sat down on a wooden chair someone gave and said "Briana dear, I think I should tell you about me and Kakashi. You see, After our teammate died we both started getting depressed. We were only about 16 at the time and needed something to grasp on to durring the depression. Kakashi was the rookie of the year and Obito was the class clown. Obito was in love with me and Kakashi thought I was a fangirl which at the time I was. After Obito died and gave Kakashi his eye that I implanted we both were really screwed up. Kakashi started going heavy into training and I started drinking. Kakashi came and pulled me out of it and we became friends with benefits I guess you could say. Anyways after about 2 months I decided that I could not keep it up because my emotions kept breaking me because I was confused if it was love or if it was sympathy or obligation to our dead teammate we had and so I finally requested permission to leave the village from Arashi-sensie. He granted it and I left Kakashi a note saying I just needed to time to figure out my life. I did not know it at the time but I was pregnant with you. I was planning on returning but everytime I started to something came up to change my mind or scare me away from it. He never knew so thats why. I am sorry, I should have told you sooner but I did not think you would understand. Please dont hate him and I hope you can forgive me."
Briana just sat there for a moment and said "I dont know what to say, I always wondered what my father would have been like and I can understand some of what you are saying mom. I think I need some time to piece it all together, ok."
Rin nodded and Naruto walked back into the living room and said "Sorry to interupt but since the bridge will be done today pretty early we will be heading back so could you go and wake everyone. Breakfast is ready."
Rin and Briana walked up stairs toward the bedrooms and woke everyone up. After everyone got ready and ate rice for breakfast they went to the bridge. It only took about 2 hours to finish the bridge. The people of wave wanted to name the bridge after Naruto but he refused saying "Lets just name it the Bridge of Hope since that is what this bridge means to this country."
After the bridge was finished the 5 gennin, 2 junnion, 2 missing nins and a pair of ladies headed to Konaha. It took them till 4 in the afternoon to make it back by treetops. No one really said anything along the way back. When they made it to the gates the two gaurds at the gate stopped them and after having a team of ABNU escort them to the Hokage tower they finally made it to see Yondiame and Sandiame Hokage sitting behind two desks. Rin could not believe that he was alive and ran and gave Arashi a hug.
Sandiame finally said "I see your mission was a success but I dont see a third member of team 7, could you tell me where he is."
Kakashi said "We believe he has defected after commiting several crimes sir."
Sandiame said "I see, you can explain it after we discuss your guest. I understand Zabaza and Haku if I remember the information correctly had decided to join us. Is this correct."
After seeing them nod yes Sandiame said "Very well, you will be on probation for a while, I am sure you understand. You can not go to any vital locations of the village without an escort for 3 months, any mission pay you have will be deducted by ten percent to cover the cost of the ABNU that will be gaurding you for your probation. Is this fine with you."
Agian seeing both nod he threw Zabaza a headband and said "Zabaza, you shall be givin a rank of Junnion, Haku, you will be tested in a few days to determine your rank. A ABNU is waiting for you to take you to your new home."
After they were gone Arashi said "Now that they are taken care of I recognize my old student Rin but I dont think I know the young lady with you."
Kakashi said "Oh well you see sensie, she is our daughter, Briana."
Arashi and Saratobi both fell over that one and Arashi said "I see, I am sure you have some things to take care of so go ahead and take them out of here Kakashi, I will get the report from you later and Kurenai can tell me about the mission now. Go have fun."
After they left Arashi sighed and said "So whats first."
Kurenai said "Basically, Sasuke started loosing it mentally, he attacked several members of the teams, threaten the client and his family, threatened treason about offering Naruto to his enemies for power, we believe he was the person who used a Katon jutsu on the clients home, along with the belief that all women are beneath him and he decides what he does and does not have to do. We came back from gaurding the client and his family at the work site when we discovered the house burned down. He refused to help on the mission. We found his headband about a mile away from the house."
Saratobi said "I see, very well, we will send out a tracking team and see if we can discover him and his situation what about the rest of the mission."
Kurenai said "You already know about the encounter with the cloud and stone ninja that escaped so besides that I can tell you that Gato is dead along with all of his men."
Arashi said "Really, how did that go down."
Kurenai shot a look at Naruto and he said "After we returned and found Sasuke gone and the house destroyed, Tazana and his family said they had no where to go. I was upset and while Kakashi and Kiba went to investigate where Hinata saw Sasuke headband I made a clone and went to Gatos base. When I got there I made it to the roof. Kakashi arrived shortly and we saw Gato and his men getting ready to use a whip on some female prisoners. Rin and Briana were with them, I became angry and stopped them. Kakashi helped the prisoners as I gave chase. I used clones and summons to kill anyone in my way. I ran into two cloud ninja. I used an exploding clone as a distraction while I killed them. I continues after Gato and came into the casino area of his base and after eliminating his merc. Zabaza agreed to a swordmans duel, stupid pervert, took kakashi deal instead, I went agianst three Iwa nin after they informed gato who offered 1 million for me, that cloud offered 2 million and Iwas offered 5 million already. Afterwards Kakashi killed Gato. Hinata and I built a new home for Tazana and his family and the bridge got built."
Kiba said "Dont forget Hinata slapping the hell out of you."
Naruto shot him a death glare and everyone else snickered. Arashi said "Well, how much do they know about you Naruto."
Shino said "We know hes your son, he had kyuubi, been trained how to use it and that we will probably be going to war soon."
Saratobi said "Well, for the time being I want all of you to keep quite on the mission. If anyone ask about the uchiha say he is MIA for know. You have the rest otf the week of, Dismissed."
Everyone started leaving but Naruto stayed behind. After everyone else was gone Naruto said "I did not say this earlier but I had 4 summons start tracking Sasuke scent and he was heading toward grass country as best as they could tell. For what I have no clue."
Arashi nodded and said "You seem distracted son, is there somethings else."
Naruto said "I actually got a request. Can you put me on the inactive list for while you try and find us a new teammate. I may not have showed it to the others but I hated having to take all those lives like that, I know its part of the job and everything but with all the new events happening I just need to get my barrings."
Saratobi said "That will not be a problem. After the first kills it usually take time. I know you have your memmories but actually doing them is different. Request approved and get some rest Naruto."
Naruto smiled and said "Thanks old man. Cya" and he left. Hinata had already gone to tell her father about the mission.
Arashi returned around dark that evening to his home only to discover Naruto had not came home yet. Him and Anko went to the Hokage tower and used the crystalball to find him. They saw him at the tower of trainning area 44. They both got there and saw him sparring with his clones, but the clones were all henged. Some of the people they saw they recognised others they did not. The ones they saw wanted to make them cry. The look of hate in the peoples eyes and the words they were saying was enough to make you want to kill them.
Kakashi "Sorry Naruto, I cant train you because I have to train Sasuke."
Sakura "Naruto, why dont you just die, you are always getting in Sasuke way."
Ino "What an idiot"
Kiba "Come on boy, we got lucky and got the dead last of the class."
Sasuke in his curseseal form "Naruto I will kill you, and nobody would even care."
Itachi "You are nothing but a foolish little demon, Narutokun'
Kasami "Can I cut off his legs, we only need him alive, not in one piece."
Neji "you fate was decided the day you are born. A loser will always be a loser."
Orochimaru "Stupid boy, you have no chance of defeating me"
Garra "I will kill you and feed your blood to mother."
The next one almost broke them though, Anko "Stupid Gaki, is that the best you could do, you might as well give up now. Honestly why do you even try so hard, its not like anyone cares."
The real Anko who was standing by Arashi fell to her knees. Naruto finally collapsed from exhaustion and all of his clones dissapeared. Arashi started to move toward Naruto when he was engulfed in a white light.
A figure in black with the kanji for death appeared above him and said "Remember boy, you alone must make a choice, one will be everything you hold precious, the other is the destruction of it all. You may tell no one and I will not tell you what it is. Be warned. When the time comes if you are not ready for the choice you will still fail." and with that the light and the figure dissapeared.
Naruto slowly open his eyes and screamed "YOU DONT SCARE ME, I DONT CARE WHAT I HAVE TO DO, I WILL NOT LET MY PRECIOUS PEOPLE BE HURT." and with that he passed out agian.
Anko who had recovered from the scene of him berating and fighting himself looked to her husband and say that he was also confused. They slowly made thier way to Naruto and took him home in the Kazama estate.
