Arashi was very worried, he never seen his mother react like this before. The thought of traveling to another place excited him, he had never been to another country before. He had already packed everything he needed for the trip in his one red bag and it wasn't really very much, only some clothes, food and water. He was dressed in an orange tank top with a white hooded unzipped sleeve-less jacket, he wore grey baggy pants and red wrist bands. (He looks like shinn in gsd without his uniform).
"Arashi! We're leaving!" His mother called outside, indicating that they were leaving. Naruto was ready, she looked different then she did 11 years ago. Her short blond spiky hair stopped above her shoulders, she wore a pretty blue and white dress that had purple ribbons that tied them up together. Over her shoulder, she carried a blue bag. (She looks like Stellar in GSD..Only with blue eyes).
Arashi took one last look at their house, the house he lived in his whole life for 11 years. He was going to miss this place. He then quickly turned and ran to catch up with his mother who was already walking ahead of him. As he walked beside her they started running. He asked "So, where and why are we going?"
Naruto sighed. "Remember those Akatsuki guys I told you about?" Arashi nodded "Well, they found me." Arashi's eyes widened. "Don't worry, they don't know about you yet, that's why I'm taking you to Konoha" This made Arashi even more shocked.
"Actually, I'm worried about you not me and why Konoha?" He asked, he remembered that it was the place his mother came from. Then he realized something "Wait a minute! What do you mean your just taking me? What about you?"
"Heh. Konoha because they are closer and because there are some people I trust there to take care of you. And I'm just taking you because these guys are fast and I'm going to hold them off for you."
"What? But why can't we just take them on together?"
"No! That's too dangerous, their not like the average ninjas we usually face.." They were indeed not like the rogue ninjas they hunt down for those were in the bingo book to collect money from.
By the way Naruto was saying it, it sounded these guys were like bad kages or something. Arashi was jounin level, he was a prodigy after all. Unlike the others like Kakashi and Itachi who became ANBU at a young age who were trained for it. Naruto wanted Arashi to train slowly so he can have a fun childhood which was why he was only a jounin, he would've been a rookie chunin the rate naruto trained him but since because of his demonic heritage, he easily reached jounin level.
Naruto also said something that shocked Arashi. "Plus, you should probably get to know your father.." Naruto always avoided the discussion about Arashi's father as if it was some kind of plague. He wondered if these Akatsuki guys had that much of an effect against his mother to make her sick because the only thing that he knew of his father that he was an Uchiha and that he lived in Konoha. He wanted to know more about him so he hesistedly(?) asked.
"Umm..Can I know a bit more about dad?"
Naruto saw him hesitating and smiled. She then told her everything she knew of his father.
Arashi noticed she was deep in thought while she talked about his dad, she seemed really fond of him. She sometimes would say that the guy was a show-off and a stuck-up teme, as she said this she was either smiling or laughing as she told him about everything. Arashi had learn't a lot about his father.
At first Naruto hated the guy when she left, but when time flew by, she suddenly noticed that she was really missing him and her friends. She knew that she would've at least told him of Arashi first before running away, she didn't know what his reaction would be and assumed that he would just be like the rest of the villagers. She was too angry an upset to think properly, heck, she could've at least left a note.
"Listen Arashi, if somehting happens along the way, i want you to promise me that you'll go to Konoha and tell the Godaime, Tsunade about yourself, she'll take care of you." Arashi noticed that she trusted this woman very much, so he nodded. Naruto then threw something at him that he caught, it was a green/blue crystal and happened to be the necklace that his mother carried around and seemed to treasure it alot.
"Huh? Why you giving me this?" He asked confused
"It's proof that you're my son of course." She smiled.
"Oh, okay." He put it around his head and it laid dangling on his chest.
Suddenly, they were surrounded by two Akatsuki members.
Arashi noted they had black cloaks with red clouds just like from his mother's story. Naruto also noted that they were none other then...
Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame.
Itachi looked at Arashi and noted that he either looked like a miniture version of either him, Sasuke or the Yondaime of his ex-home village. Kisame also noticed this.
"Looks like the brat got herself a kid" Kisame said
Arashi just said "Fish face" to Kisame much to his shock and anger while Itachi's and Naruto's amusement.
"What did you just called me you brat?"
But Arashi ignored him and looked at Itachi angering 'Fish face' even more.
"Uchiha..Itachi?" He looked at his mother for a conclusion and she nodded. He turned back to Itachi and said something that surprised Kisame and Itachi "So he's my uncle?"
Itachi blinked at his so called nephew. For some reason he was getting fond of the kid like he was with Sasuke before the massacre.
It definitely meant that he was Uchiha Sasuke's son.
"Arashi run!" His mother called as she and Kisame engaged in a fight but Arashi seemed rather hesitant to leave his mum.
"Go! You promised remember!" she then did a familiar hand sign "Kage Bushin no jutsu!" Around 20 clones surrounded them as they each fought kisame and itachi who was easily destroying them.
Arashi then remembered something his mother said before 'Those who don't obey the law are trash but those who leaves their comrades behind are worse than trash'. He then made up his mind and ran straight forward to Itachi, the other three seemed surprised by this act as Itachi just dodged each of his nephew's attack.
"What are you doing? I told you to run!" Naruto yelled angrily.
"But I don't want to..And you said that those who leaves their comrades behind are worse than trash!" Again, he managed to surprise the three adults.
It wouldn't be a surprised if he took on his mother's title as the number one most surprising ninja.
Itachi thought that this kid was smart and brave, he calculated that the kid was around jounin level which impressed him. 'We just need to get the Kyuubi's vessel, this kid doesen't has to be involved' He thought. He then gave a kick to Arashi's stomach which threw his back to hit a tree hard. He quickly used this move to distract Naruto who screamed
"Arashi!"
"Kisame! Hold her!" He yelled to the ex-mist nin.
Kisame used this distraction and did a few hand seals "Water prison jutsu!" Since Kisame is such a skilled ninja, he didn't need water to use techniques that required it.
"No!" Arashi screamed as he stood, his back already healing, he ran towards his mom but Kisame got in his way, he couldn't use any justsus that requires chakra because Kisame's sword would just eat it so they settled it with Taijutsu. He noticed his uncle in front of his mother.
Naruto was so caught up watching and worrying about her son that she became completely off guard as Itachi's face suddenly appear in front of her. It was too late since Itachi used his sharingan to make her fall asleep. All she saw was his red sharingan eyes and darkness.
When she lost consciousness, the water prison that surrounded her dispelled and Itachi quickly catches her before she fell on the ground.
"Kisame we're leaving."
Kisame dodged a punch and kicked him again just like Itachi did before, before jumping back as Itachi did a teleportation jutsu. They disappeared in a flash of light.
"No!" Arashi screamed before reaching to where they were just a second ago. "Damn it!" His knees landed on the ground as his hands were holding his head that was faced down, tears were streaming down his face before he let his hands go and screamed to the sky "ARRGHHHH!!!!"
As Itachi and Kisame were walking towards Akatsuki headquarters, Itachi broke the silence between them. "Kisame." Kisame looked at him and then at the grown woman Itachi's arms before looking back at him.
"Yes Itachi-san?"
"...Don't mention the boy to the others"
This confused Kisame a bit before nodding "Sure" Silence came upon them once again.
"I didn't know you had a nephew."
Itachi was silence for a moment "...Neither did I." Itachi knew that the jinchuuriki disappeared from Konoha 11 years ago and they have been looking for her ever since. He remembered Arashi was about 11 years old and figured the answer why she ran away...It was then clear to him that maybe..not even his own little brother knew of the child's existence.
Arashi stood up, drying his tears and finally started running towards Konoha. 'Crying like a baby isn't going to save mum, crying like a baby isn't going to do anything' he thought. He would keep his promise and come save his mother with the help of this Tsunade his mother trusted..and maybe even..his father.
As he finally reached Konoha gates, he went up to the two guards he didn't know as Izumo and Kotetsu. The two noticed a kid that looked like a mini version of Sasuke and were surprised, the kid came up to them. "Your pass and reason for staying here please" Izumo asked.
The kid shyly said "Umm..Ano, I don't have a pass and I came here to see Tsunade-sama" Arashi said Tsunade's name with sama since she's the Godaime and didn't want to show disrespect.
The chuunins just blinked and looked at each other and this time Kotetsu asked "Why do you want to see Hokage-same so much? We usually don't let people in like this but we'll make an exception this time but we need a reason to make it easier." True, they would make an exception since the kid looked like he just been in a fight plus he looked so young, but the real reason was that this kid reminded them of someone that seemed really familiar to them.
"Ah, arigatou. My mother sent me here, she said that she was a close friend of Tsunade and that I was to come here to look for her if anything happened to her.."
"Huh?" The two leaf nins looked at each other before looking at the kid again "Sorry kid but-" he was cut off as he said something that shocked them
"My mother was taken by Akatsuki" Arashi didn't want to say it but it would probably be the only thing that could get him in. "This is the only place I know that could help!"
Realization hit Kotetsu and Izumo as their eyes widen. This kid's mother was a jinchuuriki? "Wait a minute.." They thought he looked like someone they knew "What's your name kid?"
Arashi stayed silent for a moment, he was afraid of their reaction. If he remembered correctly then wasn't this village suppose to hate his mother?
He made up his mind and then he answered "My name is Kazama Uzumaki Arashi."
If possible, the eyes of the two chuunins widen even further. Their faces expression was like 'OMFG!'. A single thought entered their mind '..Holy shit..'
The new patrols came to come take their place. "Hey! It's our turn now, you can leave if you want." They quickly got out of their trance and said "Thanks" With that, The two chunnins took Arashi with them to the Hokage tower.
Hope you guys like it. Sorry to those who were expecting to see Sasuke's reaction in this chapter but don't worry, he'll show in the next chapter. I probably wont take long on this fic as i am with the other because for some reason, i'm more motivated to do this fic compared to the rest, lol. I made up my mind of Itachi and I decided to make him neutral at first but he'll eventually be good!
