Aishiteru Naruto

Chapter 8- Sleeping

Naruto - Age: four
Shino - Age: five
Hinata- Age: four

Nidashi found it fascinating how much Mujaki aged within the past year. He almost looked like an old man, but the way he was walking up the hill only made the image stronger. That made Nidashi think, when did he start looking like an old man? An image of the giant kitsune flashed through his mind and he pushed it away, turning to Naruto.

"You poor thing," he whispered, slowly walking to Naruto's side.

As he stared at the sleeping blond, he noticed some discoloration on the boy's neck. He bent down to take a better look, rolling Naruto over on to his stomach, the child didn't stir. The entire back of his neck was black and blue, totally damaged, "what the hell?" He ran to his first aid kit and began to treat Naruto quickly.

Hours went by and Naruto slept, soon Shino awoke and crept into the main room where he saw Nidashi watching over Naruto. For a while, his mind wandered and he just stared off into space, not really looking at or thinking about anything. Then it all came to him, where was his mom? "Okaa-san..." Shino called with a tone that could almost be a question, "Okaa-san..." tears filled his eyes and he didn't even know why. Nidashi got up from his seat and walked over to the boy.

"Your father is home"
"Lets go!" Shino announced and walked over to the door, "come on"
"Okay..." Nidashi looked over at Naruto who was still out cold, "hold on one minute," the old man picked Naruto up and carried him so the boy's head was resting on his shoulder, "lets go," he whispered.

It was three in the morning, you could tell, you could feel it. The air was cold, but not quite damp enough to leave everything covered in dew, but it was quiet. No one was out but the three of them and no bird made a sound the entire time. But one thing hit Nidashi wrong, where were all the crikets? But as the drew nearer to the Aburame estate, crikets could then be heard. It was a strange night, that was for sure.

The closer they got, the more anxious Shino was to see his mother and father. He wanted to know what all that was about today and he could only thank whatever god is out there that he developed the ability to ask. If he was his dad, the first thing he would do now, is leave, "come on!" Shino pulled Nidashi further up the hill while Naruto still slept. With each step it seemed like the boy was getting heavier and heavier. 'Maybe im too old for this sort of thing,' he thought to himself as they finally reached the top of the hill.

Shino caught sight of the Aburame estate walls and took off its direction, Nidashi shook his head, "this is not good, its three in the morning and I have a three year old running down the streets in Konoha with a fifty pound kid on my back," he sunk his head and trucked on, hoping to catch up with the child.

When Shino reached the outside gates, he found it locked, so he yelled as loud as he could, "OKAA-SAN! OKAA-SAN"
Half of the estate lit up and soon his father came to the gates, but Shino couldn't make out the expression on his face, it wasn't anger, it was much bitter.
"Where is Nidashi?" His father asked with a firm tone.

"Im here, I am so sorry about this," Nidashi said, chest heaving, "he insisted on coming home, I could not deny him that, you understand." Nidashi was hoping that the young Mujaki would, he was half hesitant on the matter, but none of it was his business, if the child wanted to go home, he would see to it.
"Yes, I understand, thank you Nidashi," Muajki placed a hand on his son's shoulder and turned around to enter the estate.
"What about Naruto?" Nidashi urged, hoping they would still look after the child.

Mujaki turned his head to the side, "he will stay elsewhere, not here," and then continued walking.
When the old man turned around into the street, he didn't get half a block away before a very old friend emerged from the darkness, "good evening," the Third said with half a smile and alot of remorse shown on his face.

Both said nothing for a long while, until Nidashi broke the silence, "where have you been"
"I was with the Aburame council and elders for most of the night, I have not spoken with Mujaki yet...how is Naruto?" He asked, adverting his eyes to the sleeping blond on his back.

"He was brought to me earlier ...his neck is pretty bad, but I treated him, so he should be okay," he paused a moment, wondering if he should ask the question that needed to be asked, "what happened in there today"
"I cant disclose most of that information, but they found out Kaiwa associated with the spy's from the hidden earth," he said nothing more, and Nidashi knew not the push the subject.
"I must leave now old friend, I have things I must attend to, I will come by tomorrow and see how Naruto is doing"
Nidashi unconsciously nodded at the words of the Third, and began to walk back down the hill, head filled with images of the past, the weight of the four year old forgotten.

As Nidashi neared his house, he felt a shift of weight on his shoulders and Naruto nodded into consciousness, "where's Kaiwa-san?" he asked, voice hardly escaping his lips. "...Shino went home, your going to stay with me tonight," the old man said reassuringly and the blond went back to sleep, knowing that everything would be okay.

Two days came and passed and Naruto slept through it all. The Third had come by to make sure Naruto was okay and inform Nidashi that he would have to take care of the child until he could figure somthing else out. The old man gladly agreed and didnt seem to mind the extra company a four year old would bring. But by the third day, the old man began to worry, would the child ever wake up?

As Nidashi prepared yet another meal that the blond would probably not eat, he hummed a tune that hung over his head, it was a beautiful day, nice and warm with a slight breeze. He had kept all the doors and windows open that morning, hoping to get a nice spring smell vented throughout the house. He knew it wouldn't be long before the spring showers began and everything would be wet for weeks, so he was going to take advantage of the nice weather.

Soon enough a little head popped into the kitchen, "where's Kaiwa-san?" Naruto's little voice echoed through the kitchen.
"I don't know...but here's some breakfast," Nidashi quickly changed the subject.
Naruto's eyes lit up with excitement, he hadn't eaten in over two days and food was sounding extra good at the moment.
He ran to the table and Nidashi served him his food but this time, he didn't scarf it all down like it was air, he took his time and made sure to taste every bite, it was so good!

By his third helping he was done and lazily stretched himself out, "Nidashi?" Naruto asked.
"Hm?" The old man turned his attention to the blond.
"Where is Kaiwa-san"
There was that question again and what could he say?
"I don't know Naruto...but Shino is okay," Nidashi placed a hand on the blonde's head.
Naruto furrowed his eyebrows, "lets go," he said in a determined voice.
"Go where?"

Naruto walked over to the door, slid it open and then turned around with a finger to his lips, "shhh, to the secret place," he said in a whisper and Nidashi couldn't help but smile.
"Oh, okay," Nidashi played along keeping his voice in a whisper, following little Naruto out the door.
But as they passed the old man's house, on their way to the woods, Naruto noticed someone was watching them, so he waved.

The little girl who was standing behind a tree noticed the boy wave and she couldn't help but blush, who was this person? She had never seen him before and his appearance made her curious of where he might have come from. He was so different looking from everyone else with his bright golden hair and little whisker marks, who was he?

Naruto tugged on Nidashi's sleeve and pointed to the little girl who was hiding behind the tree, "who is that"
"Who?" Nidashi focused his attention to where Naruto was pointing, "oh her...I don't know, why don't you go over there and see"
Naruto nodded and began to walk over in her direction.

Was he walking tword her? Was he intending to talk to her? What should she do? What would she say? A thousand questions ran through her mind as the boy got closer and closer. She hid completely behind the tree, not that it would do her much good, the boy was three steps from the tree and all Naruto had to do was look around it.

"Hi!" He said and waved at her.
She could do nothing but blush, and when her pale eyes met his vibrant blue ones, her entire face turned red and she ran to the other side of the tree.
Naruto frowned, this girl was weird, but it seemed like a fun game so he went back to the other side of the tree, "Hi!" he said again, and once more, the little girl ran back to the other side of the tree. This went on for several minutes and finally, Naruto decided that it was getting boring.

"Hey"
Hinata jumped at the rise and tone of the boy's voice, was he angry at her? "Hai"
"What's your name? My name is Uzumaki Naruto!" He said his name with pride, in a tone where Hinata almost felt guilty for not already knowing it.
"Hinata..." she answered in a bare whisper and Naruto frowned.
"What?" He inched closer so he could hear her words.
Her face turned three darker shades of red as she scrunched up her face, "Hinata!" She managed to yell a bit this time, surly he should have heard her but she gave him no time to reply, she ran back to her home as fast as she could, face still red with embarrassment.

Naruto cocked his head to the side while watching her run, why is she leaving? He walked back over to the smiling Nidashi, "she's weird"
Nidashi chuckled at Naruto's statement, "I think she likes you."

But Naruto was not listening, he was already leading the way once again back their secret spring.
They didn't even get halfway there before the old man began to get tired, he watched Naruto jump around from behind, "Im getting to old for this," he whispered to himself while Naruto continued talking. What he was talking about, the old man had no idea, he had stopped listening a while ago, not able to keep up with the child's constant change of subject and words that he couldn't quite form yet. With each step his body grew heavier, like some invisible force was pulling him down, his breath was short and spazmatic, but rapidly growing at a faster pace.

Is it time? Will this be the day? Nidashi's eyes were fixed on the bouncing Naruto.

Now that someone needs the old man again, he would parish? This is when fate decided that it would take him? Now out of all the times the he had wished for death, it was coming to him when he needed his life more then ever?
How cruel, "how cruel..." there he was, standing in the secret spring, the spring that he ran to when the Kitsune attacked the village, the spring where he had hid while his entire family was getting slaughtered by the demon fox.

Naruto looked up at Nidashi and saw tears running down his cheeks, what was wrong?
"Are you okay?" Naruto tugged on Nidashi's sleeve for the second time that day.
"Yes Naruto, im just a little tired," the old man walked over to where he had buried the box and sat down, his back lounging against cool bark of the ancient tree.

Naruto watched him for a while and then went about playing, he found that when he would dig near the spring water deep enough, he would always find a type of mud, only he could mold it. After this discovery, he would play with the substance every time he came to the spring, and this time was no exception.

Caught up in playing, Naruto lost track of time and soon the sun began to set. Naruto, who was already half wet, shivered from the night breeze that blew through the spring. He was done playing and food didn't sound to bad so he turned to Nidashi, who was still sleeping under the huge tree and walked over to the old man.
"Come on Nidashi-san, im hungry..." but Nidashi didn't stir from his sleep. Naruto stood there for a while, not sure what to do, should he just let him sleep? The old man had said that he was tired.

"Nidashi-san..." Naruto whispered, gently shaking the old man's shoulder, "Nidashi-san"
But still, the old man didn't make a move, not one.

Maybe the old man really did need his sleep.
Naruto sat down and stared at Nidashi intently and soon it was completely dark, the stars revealing themselves. Naruto's entire body shook un-controllably, "Nidashi-san..." tears began to run down the blonde's face, what was going on? Why wouldn't the old man wake up? He looked around and decided that they would have to get home, but how? Naruto picked up Nidashi's hand, it was as cold as ice, this was not a good thing, he would get sick at this rate.

Naruto pulled on Nidashi's arm in attempt to maybe drag him home if not wake him up. But he didn't budge, not one bit.
"We have to go home!" Naruto yelled in a panic, he needs to wake up! Naruto pulled him again, but still, he didn't budge, as if some force was keeping his body glued the way it was. He fell to his knees in defeat and then frowned, he had to get back, something inside told him that no matter what, they had to get back. He knew how secret this place was, if anything happened, no one would be able to find them.

He got up and tried again. After half an hour, Naruto was finally able to get Nidashi on his back, his shaking still continued but his mind was no longer aware of it, he had to get back. Three hours went by and he was able to drag Nidashi just out of the spring, but he could go no further, his entire body hurt and he couldn't even lift his arms more or less drag Nidashi any further.
"Wake up!" Naruto screamed, shaking the old man viciously, "what's wrong!"

Minutes later, he fell asleep due to all the crying, and had another dream where he fell and fell and there was never any end to it, what would happen if he hit the bottom? For hours it seemed like he fell, and he hoped that it would go on like this because he knew that if he hit the bottom, it wouldn't be good. But faintly, in the darkness that surrounded him, far far off, he heard someone yelling.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" With each syllable it got closer and soon he could see something, but it was fuzzy and as soon as it came into focus, he noticed that what he was looking at, was himself.

The boy was crying over some sort of huge black shape lying on the ground. The words were still repeated over and over from the crying boy's lips as it got closer. Naruto braced himself for the image, somhow thinking it would pass through him, but he was startled when as soon as the image reached him, he found himself crying over the blackened object who he knew had to be Nidashi.

"Wake up! Wake up!" He yelled as streamed of tears ran down his face, "WAKE UP"
But the black shape began to fade and soon he was left alone, alone.

"NO!" He screamed as he awoke, sitting strait up in bed, breathing heavily. His head felt heavy as he looked around the white room, it was so clean! He had never in his entire life ever seen anything so clean, so white. But right now it wasn't all that great, it made his head hurt even more staring at the white sheets, blankets, tiles. Everywhere he looked it was white, they even took his clothes and put him in white. What was this? But most important, where was Nidashi?

As his exhausted body attempted to get out of the bed, he ended up falling smack on his head against the hard floor. He bit back tears as he dizzily got to his feet, he needed to find Nidashi, was he still at the spring? As he neared the door, he heard someone walking down the hall outside. When the nurse entered the room, she was startled to see Naruto standing in front of her, awake.

"Your awake? Already? Umm...go back to bed and I will go get someone..." she almost shook from the fear that coursed through her body. Just look at his face! He even looks like the fox! She ran out of the room and locked the door behind her.

The memories from that night flocked to him in such a rush that his heart skipped a beat. He screamed at the top of his lungs, choking every now and then due to the tears that flowed down his already stained cheeks. "No!"

As the Third reached the second floor where Naruto's room was stationed, he heard the screamed of Naruto echoing throughout the hall. He ran at shinobi speed and reached the door several minutes before the nurse that had informed him of the child's awakening.
But he found the door was locked, "Naruto?" The Third called and heard Naruto say something bet didn't catch it, the words were muffled through the door and the child's crying didn't help any, "Are you okay!"

Everything was silent for a while and Naruto decided the only answer would be yes...now that the Third had arrived, there was nothing to be scared of, now that he wasn't alone, he knew there was no threat.

"Hai," he answered in a stoic tone.
"Why is this door locked?" The Thirds words were very strict and held a tone of authority in them, "un-lock it!" he demanded and the female voice quickly replied. "Hai!" she opened the door as fast as she could, little did Naruto know how badly the girl was shaking, this was definitely not her day. Thinking about it, the last thing she wanted to do was get on the little demon's hate list, so what the hell was she thinking? Did she want to die? The nurse scolded herself as her shaking hands tried to un-lock the door. Soon the keys were taken from her and the door was open, it was open! She shut her eyes tightly and moved out of view, a few steps into the hallway.

Naruto smiled and ran to the Third, who bent down to look over the boy, "what happened to your head"
The child blushed and looked down with embarrassment, "I fell..." I fell...I fell... Naruto turned white as a sheet as the memory of the dream hit him.
"Naruto?" The Third asked with concern, a few minutes ago the boy was smiling, now he was pale and sick looking, tears slowly filled his eyes, but he didn't move or blink, "Naruto!" The Third repeated, raising his voice in fear.

"Where's Nidashi-san?" This question hit the Hokage like lightning, and he stayed silent.
"Ne? Where did Nidashi-san go?" Naruto turned his head to the Third and blinked the tears from his eyes.
"He..." the Hokage swallowed, why with the kids? He was tired of having to tell children about the death of someone who is most important them, why would it even happen? Something about it didn't seem right, "he's not here Naruto..."

"Where?" Naruto grabbed the Thirds sleeve, "where did he go?" The blond was screaming, angered at the Third's answer, "where did he go"
"He died Naruto..." he blurted them out, knowing that was the only thing he could say, "just like Kaiwa..." Naruto frowned at the memory of the fire, the fire? "No he didn't! He was just sleeping!" He stammered, were they crazy? He was there, he was with the old man and there was never any fire, none! "He was asleep!" Naruto was screaming at the top of his lungs, he knew the Third was wrong.

"...but he will never wake up Naruto, he is not here anymore," The Hokage was getting irritated with how this was going, the blond wanted to hear it, he begged it out of him, but now he denies it?

"No fire!" Naruto screamed.
"What?" This statement caught Nidashi off guard.
"There was no fire!" Naruto repeated in the correct manor.
"What are you talking about"
"There was no fire! Nidashi-san was sleeping!" He threw himself onto the ground, "he was sleeping..." he whispered, playing the events back in his head.

The Third stood up and frowned, "they said the children would never see, they assured me of their safety," the Hokage picked up the blond and wrapped him in a blanket, "were going on a visit"
"Nidashi?" Naruto's eyes lit with hope.
"No," He didn't have the time to play twenty questions, he had said all that he could.
"No! I don't want to!" Naruto began to kick around and the Third placed the child down.
"Fine then, you stay here, I will be back," he smiled at the blond and placed a hand on his head.

Before Naruto could say anything, the Hokage was gone, "don't lock that door, take care of him," he ordered the young girl who was still standing in the hallway, she had heard everything. But that didn't make any difference, that monster was still a part of him, what struck her the most was how he reacted to the old man's death, as if he wasn't used to killing millions of people. The nurse shook her head and walked into the hospital room where Nartuo was standing in the middle, with every step her body shook and her mind raced. What would she do if he attacked her? What the hell was the Hokage thinking by not ordering ANBU guards or something?

"H-how do you feel?"

Naruto frowned at the woman, he didn't like her, for some reason, he just didn't like her. He said nothing, he didn't utter a word, but he was covered in sweat and a chill suddenly arose from inside his body. Actually now that the Third was gone, his mind went from being angry, to focusing on his condition.

Yep, this was definitely not her day, and there was no other way she knew to take the boy's temperature except to feel his head. She gulped and looked at the frowning child. Child? This was no child! This was the demon who stole the peace from their village, who stole half their land and resources, who slaughters thousands. She would not be deceived by a demon. Of course, it had to be controlling the mind of their Hokage, he even made a rule to never speak of it under penalty of death.

"You think you have it all worked out don't you?" The nurse held something in her voice that he had not heard directly since that woman, the one who locked him in that room. He glared deeper at her.
"Just look at your eyes..." she began to tremble, "I wont be fooled by you"
She ran from the room as fast as she could, leaving the feverish blond behind, un-touched.

What was that? It was worse in this lady then it was in the last. He had never seen such fear shaken by anger, but what was she scared of? What was she talking about when she said that she wouldn't be fooled? By who? Him? But why would he want to fool her? He doesn't even know her! All he wanted right now was Nidashi and standing around wasn't going to bring him to the blond, so he left the room through the door that the nurse didn't bother closing.

xoxoxox

When the Third reached the Aburame estate it was dark and looked very deserted. But he was no fool, the sun had just set and he was sure that everyone would be up. He jumped the gate and strolled up the dark path. When he reached the main entrance he almost began to knock, but decided that a surprise visit would probably be best. He tried to slide the door open but of course, it was locked. He closed his eyes and performed a few hand seals, within a second the door gently slid open and the Hokage then proceeded inside, there were two places he would have to visit tonight, and the first one was Mujaki.

He was surprised at how everything was so quiet and how no one had seen him yet. As he left the main house and wandered into the gardens, he examined every detail of the place. This had to be where it happened, he then adverted his attention to the back of Mujaki's house, where still, every light was off, except for one very dim light coming from the left corner. Well, this would make everything easier, for while, he was really beginning to believe that the entire compound was asleep.

He reached the back door, and again, found it locked. He performed the same hand seals and it lightly slid open. As he entered the small house, he whispered the man's name, "Mujaki?" But got no reply. Most of the house was dark so he figured Shino was asleep, "better keep this as quiet as possible," he whispered to himself as he neared the hallway, closing the door gently behind him.

When he entered the last room on the right of the hallway, he found it half open with a dim light bearing through it, "Mujaki?" He began to open the door when the large Aburame slammed it open, "who's there!" But was startled to see the Third, he furrowed his eye brows and went back to what he was doing, packing.

"How have you been, my friend?" The Hokage said with a tad of worry in his voice, although it was hard to tell.
"You can say that so easily, friend," Mujaki simply stated, but didn't bother looking at him.
A moment of silence fell over them, "how is Shino"
"How do you think?" He zipped his bag, why was the Third here? Did the old man think they could stop him?
The Hokage sighed and shook his head, "I am truly sorry Mujaki, I wish that it didn't turn out like this"
The tall man said nothing, but stared at the Hokage with anger, where the hell was he when all of this was going on?
"I am not here to fight with you..." The Third pulled out a sealed piece of paper and extended it for Mujaki to take.

For a minute the man hesitated, what could possibly be written there? They couldn't arrest him, he had done nothing wrong, and why would the Hokage personally deliver a mission in the middle of the night in his home? He took the paper from the Hokage's hands and stared at it for a while before opening it. After reading, he looked up with confusion, "I don't understand"
"I couldn't save your wife Mujaki, but I can save your son," the Third smiled and bowed a bit, "you have been given leave from this village for five years, go where you will."

"What about my son?" He dare not fall into this trap, they were stupid if they thought that they could separate him and his son.
"You must take your son, or you will not go at all, but you must leave now," the Third gestured to the door.
"I understand," he grabbed his things and ran out the room, the Third followed him to his son's room and as they left the small house, Muajki bowed, "I am greatly sorry for my harsh words, thank you," and then he was gone.

xoxoxox

At the Konoha Hospital, Naruto wandered the hallways in search for Nidashi, ignoring the gasps and whispers around him, his head was swimming and everything still swirled all around him, "Nidashi..." he grabbed on a doorknob and lowered himself down to sit a bit while everything slowed down. He watched the passing legs, listened to the murmurs of demons and scary things which he would rather not think about while the entire world around him spinned.

He closed his eyes trying to get rid of the dizziness, when the darkness wouldn't go away and once again, he found himself falling.

Reveiw Replies:

Griffin D. Sage: I am relived that the last chapter wasn't rushed...Ive been kinda worrying about that. And Aishiteru means 'I love you' in japanese...Ai means love...there is an Anime show called, 'Aishiteru ze baby' about a little three year old girl its a cute show...Ai is the romantic, personal love...while Daisuki means 'love'...but not a personal...you would use this when you are talking about an item or someone you like...it is a love...but more on the 'like' side. If you were going to tell someone for the first time that you like them...then you might use 'Daisuki,' but if you were really going to confess your true love, most likely you would pull out the 'Aishiteru.' (uh...if im not accurate on any of this, please let me know...)

Narutofreak22: Im happy you enjoyed the story and I hope you return for the up-coming chapters

DarkGaara: Thank you, I'm relieved by everyone's responses. After reading your own work over five times, you begin to wonder if its even any good. Sometimes you think, 'should I just delete all of this?' So I put it away for two days and re-read it...again! By this time I was soo anxious to post it up, it had already been a month since I updated it, so I put it on...chaper 7 was a very serious chapter in which allot of stuff comes together, so I wanted it to be perfect...sadly it wasn't, but I was happy to see it turned out pretty good. As for the Aburame's...yes they are evil sadistic people...well really just the elders. When you 'run' a clan, like sheep, the entire clan must follow and agree with everything the 'elder,' does. But later on...when more chapters come out, you will see that the Aburame clan is really quite good and peaceful compared to some of the other ones...just think about the Hyuuga clan, and god only knows about the Uchiha.

enchiladas Good points...but, they had their reasoning for doing what they did...Konoha and the 'Ninja' way is not all sunshine and happiness...watch episode 10, in my opinion, burning Kaiwa at the steak was allot more humane then having a flock of crows tear her to shreds...but that's my opinion And yes it is sad that Shino's father was too weak to hold back ten big Abruame men, but after the pole was set...what could he do? If they all ran away, they would eventually get caught by some ANBU, Mujaki has a five year old son and a wife who cant use chakara, it would be impossible to outrun a fleet of ANBU. At least this way, he can keep his son...and yes Naruto whines... I make Naruto kind of a cry baby cause im trying to keep it as cannon as possible, do you remember when Kakashi was talking to Inari in mist...a few episodes before Haku dies? How Kakashi tells Inrai about Naruto and how at 12 years old he's probably tired of crying? for one thing, Naruto is watching a woman die...he hardly has the brain space to think about himself, he doesn't know that the Kyuubi was sealed in him. As a child his age you cant even grasp the meaning of hate, he has yet to learn that lesson. The 'never giving up' has already started, he has a strong head and once he decides something, it takes a while for it to change. I took him nearly a year for him to get it in his head that he was not going to stay with Nidashi. This fic is about him becoming the Naruto we all know, but it takes time, he needs reasons to be the way he is...I hope I cleared up some things for ya...Let me know if I left anything out

WolvenTerror: Shino for now...but not for long, Shino is not the only one Naruto meets and encounters in the fic. Shino was a main char for quite a while because he was the only one around his age that he could converse with. But now that Naruto is never allowed in the Aburame estate, things will change a bit from now on. I am surprised though that you never really see Shino anywhere...although he's a bit hard to write, he keeps to himself and never really says anything unless its absolutely necessary. The times that I have found him in fics, I love the way people portray him.

Surarrin: Is this a good interesting...or a bad interesting? hehe. No assassination attempts yet...well, none that we know of Didn't mean to fool ya there hehe it wasn't my intention.

Kanemoshi: yes, evil people! They are all...evil people, laughs maniacally with hands risen in air I would have to agree with most people, if I was in Mujaki's shoes, I would un-leash some terrible stuff on those Aburame elders...but I needed to keep Shino's dad clean...like he was in the show...so I sent him away for five years! sweatdrop I just really couldn't imagine Mujaki slaughtering a bunch of old guys

Krows Scared: thanks! Im sorry no elders ass will be kicked...BUT I will assure you that they will get what's coming to them, oh yes, they will get what's coming to them rubs hands together while narrowing eyes
