Chapter 21
He walks through a computer store's inventory of games for his PSP as well as videos. His birthday had been four days ago and since he's now nine years old, he received a great deal more money from the Digidestine then gifts, though Mimi and Sora could be relied on to get him some awesome cloths that they know he'd like. Zor managed to his own mini fridge for his room while Urd got him a bag filled to the rim with scrolls about filled with tidbits of history mixed in with a huge horde of jutsu scrolls that Urd managed to research, most likely using a spell, and recreate, once more using another spell, just for him. TK had gotten him an IPod as well as two CDs.
He picks up the Underworld video for PSP. He's read the summary on the internet and liked what he learnt; he glances to where Kari and TK were and picks up one of the PSP DVDs before heading to the counter. Within a few seconds, he's walking out of the store with the video, heading towards the two teens.
"I got what I wanted." He tells them when he's within range. The pair seem to disentangle from each other. He grins as TK looks slightly red in the face while Kari beams down at him. He glances at TK before asking the elder blond's girlfriend, "So, are we going to eat out for lunch? And if so, where at?" He wonders if he'll get to pick where they'll eat as they headed towards the mall's exit.
:-P
He sighs as he sits in the waiting room; it seems that the council was trying to find a way to get him kicked out of the academe. He doesn't need to glance around to know what most of the Digidestine were doing, even Urd seems annoyed at this farce of a hearing.
About an hour ago, he was sitting in a restaurant with Kari and TK. Then Urd sent out an E-mail about some ape managing to cross between realities to inform them about that the council was going to have a hearing today about whether or not he's going to continue to be allowed to study at the academe. It also went without saying that it also concerned his ability to graduate from the academe and become a ninja.
It's true that he could graduate last spring, but he knew that Zor and the others wouldn't like his choice to graduate early since it meant that he'd be beginning a live that would graduately involved killing people because it's a mission and they're getting paid to do it. He also felt that he's too young to start on the track of becoming a killer, a thief, and, ultimately, a tool of the village.
True, he knew there's more to being a ninja then everything he listed, but he had read the laws and knew that's what many expected being a ninja was all about. Once upon a time, he would do anything to become Hokage, now, he still wants to become leader of the village but not for the village to acknowledge him, they did that just by letting their fear consume them, but to change the way the village was run. He wants to turn the village on its head by using the knowledge he now possesses to avoid blood shed.
'Ok, what do I want to do if I can't become a ninja?' He asks himself and he could already list about four professions that interested him greatly. For some reason, he felt like it wasn't the end of the world, but a beginning of a new adventure.
He glances over to Zor and smiles reassuringly at his primary parental figure. Zor smiles slightly and relaxes, Zor sighs to release the tension his father/elder brother had been feeling. Soon enough, the door opens and a masked figure of the Black Ops gesture for them to come inside.
-/-Zor-/-
Just from the looks on most of the council's faces pretty much screamed that they'd rather face the demon fox again before letting Naruto back in. He also noticed that Urd's glaring at a one handed man, clearly knowing he's the source of all of this.
He feels relieved that Naruto was willing to except that he may never graduate and become a ninja, but then, Naruto has more skills then most of the adults in this room have. 'Just because they won't give him the title doesn't mean he isn't one. They're fools for holding onto their prejudges, after all, their so called trash is truly a better prize then anything they'll be holding onto.' He muses to himself.
Soon enough, both Tai and Urd were in an argument with members of the council, he already knew that they'll pull the 'you don't live here; therefore what you have to say is worth less than dirt.' He notices Naruto tense up until Sora squeezes Naruto's shoulder in comfort. Naruto relaxes slightly and Sora keeps her hand on the young blond's shoulder.
After a good hour of heated debate, the man with pure white eyes pulls what he expected, sure it was done with pretty words but that didn't really cover the stink. Urd snorted and then pauses. The goddess then grins wickedly as she announces, "Fine then, if that's how you want it. Jur hissurt quat kiron!" Or as he heard it, "Let them be denied!"
Light flares around Urd, the goddess continues to speak in the alien tongue, which he understand. Symbols representing aspects of the spell appear. Urd finishes with the final statement that translates into, "Only on flowing blood of their own, begging on their hand and knees shall this be reversed."
Urd looks satisfied and one of the council members demands, "What did you do?" Urd grins and says, "You want nothing to do with Naruto, right? I just made damn sure you can't do anything to him, that you can't use any kind of object or even his own blood to bind him, or to place any kind seals on him, much like the ones white eyes' uses on members of his clan." Urd turns and before they vanish, "You are fools and idiots. Cutting ties with the one whose destiny was meant to affects the welfare of this very village. You just made your graves deeper."
Once they appear in the apartment, Urd summons a bottle of rum and began gulping it down. Naruto looks thoughtful while most looked steamed about what happened. It's not long before Davis blows his top by cursing the ninja council, Tai and Yolei only added to Davis's declarations. Haunted looks were in everyone's eyes, clearly, this day could have ended better.
:-P
Ami hugs him from behind. He turns and kisses his wife on the hand. "Yasuha is?" He asks and his wife replies, "Out with Naruto and Kae." He smiles and as he gets up, he pulls Ami close to him, kissing her on the lips. "Beautiful." He says as he looks into Ami's amber eyes, Ami just smiles as she wraps her arms around his neck.
"You say the sweetest things." His wife murmurs before pulling away from him. He watches as she heads to the bedroom. He glances down at his reports and then back to the bedroom. It's not long before he joins his wife in their shared bed.
-/-Urd-/-
She smirks as she watches as Yasuha races around, trying to catch her partner, Pinamon. She knows what Naruto and Kae were up to and shakes her head in amusement. There were times when she can't believe the twenty-two year old was the same six year old that Zor found amassed the young boy's attackers.
After turning ten, Naruto began to focus more on his school work, especially in the field of physics. Naruto never stopped his ninja training, since once Naruto read what's suppose to be impossible, the blond would then work non-stop to find a way to do it by creating a jutsu. It was around the age of fourteen did Naruto stumble upon a way to make an engine run without needing gas or oil.
Once Naruto perfected said engine, he made sure to make it legal then created his own business of custom made vehicles that used said engine. That happened with Naruto was sixteen, his friends also joined up to support their friend. At eighteen years old, Naruto met Kae Tatsuno, an aspiring young business college student looking for a part time job. They hit it off and when they began dating, Kae quit her position with Naruto's company and took a job at Izzy's corporation, so that if it didn't work out they wouldn't have to worry about it being awkward in the work place.
So far, she's expecting Naruto to propose to Kae within the next few months, she already had tons of suggestions for where the wedding can be held. She could also picture a few styles that Kae would look great in.
She looks up and smiles at TK as the man that she still considers her little brother enters into the apartment with the twins, Shou and Shinga. The twins were four years old, two years older then little Yasuha, Zor and Ami's daughter. "Yas!" Shinga calls out to the little girl. Yasuha spares TK and the twins a glance before returning to racing around the apartment.
Patamon flies over Lunamon and Coronamon, who were Shou's and Shinga's partners. Patamon lands on TK's left shoulder while the twins stand with their respective partners. Lunamon is Shou's as Coronamon is Shinga's. Shou heads straight for the couch with Lunamon beating him to the couch. Shinga takes out a book from the knapsack he's wearing and heads for a chair while Coronamon joins Shou and Lunamon on the couch, she can't help but shake her head whenever she watches as Coronamon's flames not burn anything he's touching.
"Naruto?" TK asks softly, jerking his head towards the semi closed door. She nods and TK motions to the kitchen, she leads the blond to the kitchen and they sit down at the table.
"So, they still haven't done it then?" TK asks and she nods. "Their stubborn and I refuse to send Naruto there to help those ungrateful people on the council. They're pretty much down to fifty ninja with the bulk ranking Genin. They still resent the face that Naruto's the one that not only supplied their current base, but also all of their supplies and attended to their injuries. Which was three years ago!" She snarls softly, TK nodding in agreement.
"But despite all that, he's still willing to help out. It's only because Naruto asked me to keep sending them aid that I do it! I keep finding it harder and harder to rebuff him from returning and helping out." She admits to TK. "Ever thought of taking a minor vacation to visit your sisters?" TK asks her and she pauses before she replies, she thinks it over and then nods.
"I might just do that, sure it'll drive Naruto slightly nuts not to be able to bug me, but I could use a break." She admits to TK which causes him to smile. She begins to draw up what she wants to take with her as well as a good excuse as to why she's going. Her gaze turns inward as she thinks about the last time she's seen Bell's children.
-/-TK-/-
He watches as his sons chat about their latest adventure in the Digital World, it hardly came as a surprise that some new mega Digimon decided to try and take over the Digital World when the children of the Digidestine were old enough to take up the mantle of defenders of the Digital World.
The oldest of the new generation was Tai and Sora's daughter, who's fourteen years old. The youngest was Yasuha, who's only eight years old with Teruhi, son of Davis and Yolei's who is about four months older then Yasuha. Joe's son was twelve years old, as was Davis and Yolie's eldest daughter Chise. Izzy's daughter, Cody's son, and Matt's son were eleven years old while Ken's son was the same age as his sons, ten.
Mimi's daughter was too young since the girl was only eight months old. Mimi had a tough time carrying though with a pregnancy, she had missed carried twice before and had been worried that she might not ever be a mother. He has to admit that he's glad for Mimi, since it had been real tough to watch as Mimi tormented herself over her supposed inability to have children.
"TK?" Kari asks from behind him, he turns at her, gently moving his hand through her hair. Kari studies him for a moment before looking at their sons. "I never imagined it would be easy, watching them walk into danger, to make their mistakes, and to learn from them. I just feel like a horrible mother for just sitting back and letting them do this." His wife says softly. He pulls her in close and rubs her back as he says smoothing words to her.
"Naruto's training is paying off, even without their partner's there to defend them, they've managed to stay safe until help arrives. At least they're not sneaking behind our backs to do this." He points out to his wife and Kari smiles ever so slightly. "I'm just happy that they still confide in us about everything that they're going through. They're still keeping us involved, just not in the way we wished we'd be." He whispers in Kari's ear as he hugs her.
Kari pulls out of it after a few minutes as something whistles in the kitchen. He glances behind him one last time before following his wife inside, his gaze softens at watching them. Oddly enough, he could see the hazy form overlapping the pair, an image of what kind of men his sons will grow into. In an instant, it was like he knows that everything will continue through it's cycle, that the darkness that threatens now will be driven away when it looks like it has won, restoring balance again until someone will once more will attempt to unbalance it.
He has an uncanny feeling that those of Kari and his blood will always raise up to meet those future challenges. He also bit his lip as he could also see himself living to see each of those far off challenges. He feels goose bumps until a picture of all the Digidestine, including Naruto, with the markings of Gods and Goddesses joining the image of Zor and himself.
The moment breaks and once more he can hear Kari cursing at a pot. He hurries to see what kind of damage has been done and hope that it's salvageable.
To Readers:
Well, I think I finally got around to finishing chapter 21! Although… I hadn't expected it to end with chapter 21… I had this whole idea of Naruto becoming a ninja and writing about his adventures but somehow, the council decided otherwise.(I can't help it! They threaten me! They demanded freedom of speech and damn it, I gave it to them… not really but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.) '
The doors mark Power and Spirit… I wonder how many of you wondered about the reason behind it and I believe that it was a test to see which TK valued the most, Power, the old saying goes that absolute power corrupts absolutely, or Spirit, you know morals and such. When he 'dies' he'll inherit the title Blazing Hope and through him, the rest of the gang will become gods, their Digimon partners will be their 'angels.'
Also, Coronamon and Lunamon are actual Digimon that appear in the latest game titles for Digimon. Also, thanks for reading this and if you liked it, then I did my job, if you didn't, oh well, better luck next time. Review, or don't review, it's you right as the reader to do either. Well, see ya around, bye!
