Chapter 1
Kakashi walked up to the orange figure that was sitting on the bench in the middle of the park. The sun was setting and the village of Konoha was beginning to calm down. Many were coming home from work and cooking dinner.
The silver haired Jounin heaved a sigh and sat down next to the twelve year old. The young boy didn't take notice of him and continued to focus on the ground below.
"Naruto-" the older man began.
However, Naruto cut him off. "If you're gonna tell me that this was for my own good then forget about it."
Kakashi moved up his hitai-ate a little, so he could study the boy with both of his eyes. "Tsunade-sama and I thought it was for the best that you did not know till you were older. We did not mean for you to find out this way."
"Well, I did," Naruto turned to look at Kakashi. "Why didn't you tell me who my father was?"
"We didn't feel it was the right time."
Naruto looked back at the ground. "How many more secrets are you gonna be keeping from me, huh?" he spat.
Kakashi ran his fingers through his untamed hair. "You didn't need to know-"
Anger burned through Naruto. "I didn't need to know?!" he glared at Kakashi. "Ever since I can remember, I've been hated, despised, even spat on! Do you know how many nights I lay awake, trying to figure out who he was?! He was my father, and nobody cared to tell me?!"
Kakashi furrowed his eyebrows. "We all thought it was for the best. We thought that if you knew you would do the forbidden."
"You don't understand!" this time, his voice was quieter, but it still held the same amount of anger as before.
"No, I-"
Naruto got up and looked Kakashi in his face. "I said 'no you don't'! You don't know what it's like to have a-a," he struggled to find the right words. "thing living inside of you! You don't know what it's like to be neglected! You don't know what it's like to lose your best friend! You don't know what it's like to be wanted to be killed!" he yelled. He turned on his heel and ran.
Kakashi got up and started to follow him. Then, he stopped. He'd let Naruto have his time alone. The boy needed time to think. Kakashi formed some kanta and went up in smoke.
Shizune knocked the door to the Hokage's office. Tsunade kneaded her forehead with her free hand, while her other hand was shuffling through papers. She put her hands down when she heard the knock. "What is it?" she asked exasperatedly.
Her assistant opened the door a crack and peered in. "It's Kakashi-san. Should I allow him to come in?"
Tsunade sighed. "Sure. Tell him to come on in, but tell him to make it short also. I'm lacking sleep and I want to catch up on it."
Shizune nodded and closed the door.
A few seconds later the door opened and Kakashi stepped in. "Tsunade-sama?"
Tsunade cleared her desk of papers and motioned to a chair. "Please, sit down." After he had closed the door, Kakashi took the seat without hesitation. Tsunade leaned forward, a concern look on her face. "How's Naruto?" she asked gently.
Kakashi shook his head. "Not good. He's not taking it very well."
Tsunade lowered her eyes. "I wanted him to talk to me about taking up a B- Rank mission. I had to go get some errands so I allowed him to stay here: in my office. It never occurred to me that he would be looking through the Hokages' records."
"It wasn't your fault, Tsunade-sama. He was going to find out sooner or later."
However, this did not comfort Tsunade the slightest. She pushed the button on her speaker. "Shizune?"
Shizune's voice could be heard on the other end. "Yes, Tsunade-sama?"
"Bring me up some green tea," she looked up at Kakashi. "Would you like-"
Kakashi shook his head a second time. "No thanks."
Tsunade shrugged. "That'd be all," she said to the speaker.
"It'll be up right away!" Shizune assured.
Tsunade focused her attention back on Kakashi. "I always have green tea when I'm stressed."
Kakashi nodded. He grabbed his hitai-ate and pulled it back down.
"Now, Kakashi, why do you want to see me? There's nothing we can do now that he knows."
"I'm afraid he'll use the forbidden jutsu," he muttered.
Tsunade tried to smile, but faltered. "Listen, Kakashi. He's just a Gennin. There is no way that he has enough power to do that jutsu. It's simply impossible!"
Kakashi frowned. "You seem to be forgetting the fact that that Gennin learned the Rasengan in about a week."
Tsunade settled back down in her chair. "That's right..." she said slowly, realization dawning upon her. "How could've I forgotten that fact?"
That moment, Shizune walked in, holding Tsunade's tea. She placed it on the desk and left quietly, shutting the door behind her.
Tsunade grabbed the tea and stared at it. "But..." she lifted her head. "Will Naruto be mad enough to do it?"
Kakashi shrugged. "Who knows? There's been a lot that that kid went through. I just hope that he remembers well what I've taught him and that he will have enough sense not to do it."
Tsunade drank the tea slowly. Then, she placed it back down. "Kakashi...you better go after him. There's no telling what Naruto may do. Especially when he has the Kyuubi in him. He has enough power to destroy all of Konoha if he wants. We must not let him do this. If we allow Naruto to bring his father back to life, it will alter time and space. We must not let him do this."
Kakashi nodded and got out of his chair. "And, what of you?"
Tsunade also got up and grabbed her green coat from off the coat rack. She pulled it on. With her eyes twinkling and a smile coming across her face she simply stated, "I'm coming with you."
Naruto glared at the walls around his room. Why couldn't anyone understand? Who was Kakashi to say what he could and could not do? He was the son of the Yondaime. Didn't that allow people to gain his trust? Obviously not.
But, either way, Naruto needed a father. And right now has been the most critical of all moments for him. He needed his father's council, somebody to protect him from the villager's hurtful words, and while he's at it, he could maybe teach Naruto a few new jutsus.
But, this would alter the world. But, wouldn't it be for the better? Everyone loved the Yondaime. They always made a big deal that Naruto had killed him. So it shouldn't be a problem...should it?
It'll be fine. Naruto reassured himself. Everyone will be happy. And I will never know what loneliness is like. It will be all for the better.
Naruto got up from his bed and closed his eyes, focusing all his chakra to his fingers. He took a deep breath. He put his hands together to form the sign of the ram. "Shishinganjin no jutsu!" he yelled.
A cold wind blew and everything went dark. Nothing happened. Or did it? Suddenly, a circle of flames appeared before him and a personage began to form in the middle of them. Naruto opened his eyes and what he saw before him made him gasp. He took a step back and fell over on his bed.
The personage that was standing there was a woman dressed in the purest white clothing imaginable. But, not just any woman. This woman was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. She had to be from another world! Her skin was pale and her hair was white. She had her eyes closed as if she had been sleeping while standing up. A white glow surrounded her.
All of a sudden, the woman opened her eyes. Her eyes were the bluest and clearest as the clouds in the sky, but even more so. The woman looked down at Naruto. They locked eyes. The woman opened her mouth.
Naruto smiled. She was so beautiful...the thought of what her voice probably sounded like, made him faint.
Instead of a lovely song, or kind words, the woman shrieked. Naruto started, fearing that she was dying. He could do nothing. The shriek was so horrible that he thought for sure that everything in his apartment would shatter. He covered his ears with his hands, but he could still hear it clearly.
Then, as soon as it started, it stopped. Naruto got off the bed and stood up to face the woman.
The woman looked down upon him. "Why did you bring me hear, mortal?" she asked, softly and clearly as a bell.
Naruto stood there, eyes wide. Finally, he got enough courage to talk. "I am U-Uzumaki Naruto! I-I wish that somebody will be b-brought back to life!" he yelled, hoping that he could possibly scare the woman.
The woman raised her eyebrows. "And who do you wish to bring back from the dead?"
Naruto gulped before he began. "M-My father! The Yondaime!"
The woman bowed. "As you wish, Uzumaki Naruto."
The room began to swirl around him. The flames extinguished as violent purple lightning began to playfully nip at Naruto's heels. Naruto squinted his eyes, trying to look for the woman, but she had disappeared entirely. Without warning, a bolt of lightning struck him. He crumpled to the floor instantly.
The door burst open as Kakashi and Tsunade stumbled in. They gasped when they saw the purple lightning. Tsunade tried going over to Naruto, but Kakashi stopped her by putting a hand on her shoulder. Tsunade threw his hand off. "I'm going to him!" she shouted.
Kakashi grabbed hold of her arm. He shook his head. "You can't do anything now!" he yelled, trying to be heard over the noise. "He's done it! It's done! The Yondaime is coming back to life whether we like it or not!"
"But- he's in trouble! We can't let him stay there!" she protested. She tried to tug herself free, but Kakashi didn't loosen his grip.
"No! We mustn't! He'll be fine! Now, come on!" he shouted as he pulled her out of the room.
