Hello! Thanks for the reviews Link Fangirl01! D Well anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Once they reached the hospital, Koto immediately jumped out of the car before it stopped.
The man that drove him there yelled at him, but he ignored it, he immediately went up the secretary.
"Can you tell me where Kachiro Zakuro is?" he asked before the nurse could say anything.
"Ano, he's on the second floor in one of the operation-"
"I'll take him there," the uniformed man told her and started to drag Koto behind him. They went to the second floor and after going through the hallways, and they arrived in front of an operation room.
"Kachiro-sensei should be in there…" the uniformed man went over to one of the benches and sat down.
"What do you mean by should? Besides, who are you?"
"Well, the last time I checked he was in there, but that was about an hour ago. They might have moved him somewhere else. And I'm Katsuki (1) Tanami, Kachiro-sensei's friend," just as he finished talking, the light that signalled that the operation was in progress turned off (2).
Katsuki stood up from where he sat and Koto waited impatiently for the results of the operation, when they came out, there was a white sheet covering Kachiro's whole body.
(About a week later.)
Kachiro Zakuro
1963-2003
"Never give up to anything,
Follow your dreams."
Koto continued to stare at those words as he stared at the tombstone in front of him.
'…dad…' he kept thinking over and over again.
'Just shut up. Before you died, you didn't have any parents and you were just doing fine.'
'Shut up, I'm not Naruto. It wouldn't make a difference even if I were Naruto.'
'Still, you'll have to stop crying over your dad some time.'
'…'
Hours earlier, at the funeral there were lots of people there with him, along with some news reporters. It seemed like everyone that lived in the small town was there, classmates from Koto's class, scientists that work with Kachiro, neighbours, old friends, even people from the across the country (who knew that Kachiro was that famous). But as the hours past people started to leave, soon it was just Koto left sitting in the graveyard.
"Shouldn't you be home by now?" Koto jerked up in surprise and turned around; standing behind him was Fai Genki (looks like Kakashi… but shows hisrighteye), one of Kachiro's students.
"What are you doing here?" Koto asked and turned back to the tombstone.
"Well…let's just say that I wanted to see Kachiro-sensei one more time," and he started to laugh, but stopped instantly.
"But I don't think that the car accident was really an accident," Fai said in a serious voice.
"Nani?"
"I've seen his wounds, but they weren't even life threatening. Either the doctors did something wrong or it's some other reason, and I might know why." He sat beside Koto and looked up at the sky, it looked like he was thinking about something but it looked like he was just looking at something as well.
'Kakashi…'
'Who's Kakashi? Wait, isn't he the guy from the manga?'
'Bingo. But I didn't expect him to be your dad's student, just like those years ago…'
'What's that supposed to mean? I still don't believe you about the reincarnation stuff, but I still want to know what you mean by that.'
'Well…it's kind of hard to-'
"Hey kid, did you hear what I said?" when Koto turned, Fai was staring at him with his cold eyes.
"A-ano, what did you say?"
'He wasn't listening,' thought Fai with a sigh.
"You might not believe what I'm about to tell you, but I'll tell you anyway. What I think about your father's death is that Kachiro-sensei died intentionally. I'm not saying that he did suicide or anything, but I mean that he died because of…ano, well…. I think that he died because of something that happened a long time ago, repeating what happened in the past or something like that," he turned to expect a weird look on the boy's face, but was surprise to see a surprised look on Koto's face.
"So you mean that he's kind of like a reincarnated person or something like that?"
"Yyyeah, I guess you could say that, but what makes you think that?"
"Well, it's kind of hard to explain…" soon he told Fai about everything that's been happening, meeting Kyuubi, memories that he never had before. When he was finished, the sun was setting.
"Well, I'd better get going, it's getting late. Thanks for listening for what I said," he turned and started to leave.
"Maybe you should try a jutsu from a Naruto book, if it works, show the world that shinobi are real." Koto stopped and turned to where Fai was sitting.
"Nani?"
"You heard what I said; try a jutsu from a Naruto book. I do believe that you're Naruto's reincarnation, I saw the cover of Naruto and he does look like you. I even saw someone in the book that looked like me," he looked at the sky and continued.
"There's a possibility that there's reincarnated people in this world, perhaps Naruto used to be real person along with everyone in the book. Maybe the author was a reincarnated person as well, try a jutsu, Koto. There might be interesting results, call me when you try it, okay?" Koto stared at Fai, thinking that he was crazy for a second, after a moment he smiled.
"I'll try it, and I'll try to call you (3)when I do it"
'Do you believe me now?' Kyuubi immediately asked when Koto started to run home.
'You could say that but if the jutsu thing doesn't work, I'll never believe you again. Ano…can you show me how to do it?'
'You've got to be kidding…'
'Nani?'
'Do you expect me to show you how to do it when you can't even see me? Besides, it depends on what kind of jutsu you want to do, baka.'
'Ano, ano…' he slowed down to a walk and started to think. 'Hey I met you in that place with the cage right? If I could go back to place I'll be able to see you right?'
'I guess that could work, oh and one more thing, I think you just missed your house.' "Nani?" Koto stopped and looked where he was, for the first time, he realised that he walked past his house by a few houses. He turned around and started to head towards his house.
'Why didn't you tell me earlier?'
'I thought that you already knew, besides, you're old enough to know where you're home is.'
"Demo you still could've told me," he searched his pockets for his keys.
'Ano, Kyuubi?' he opened the door and went to the living room, closing the door behind him.
'Nani?'
'You remember what Fai-san said about my dad dying, right? Do you that he really died because of the accident or was it because of something else?' he plopped himself on the sofa and leaned back.
'Well…I don't think that your dad died from those wounds. He probably did die from something else.'
'Like what?'
'Well…Fai-san was probably right about something that happened in the past. Well actually, I'm starting to think that Kachiro is really Yondaime.'
'Yondaime?'
'He was the Fourth Hokage. And Naruto's father as well…'
'Fourth Hokage?'
'(sigh) Do you have short-term-memory-loss or something? Read that book, it'll probably explain everything that you need to know about the Fourth Hokage.'
'So…what about Yondaime?'
'Well…it's kind of hard to say, but let's just say that he died because-'
'Wait a minute, he's the guy that sealed you into Naruto right? He died after the seal was finished.'
'So you do remember. Well, what I was about to say was-'
'Wait, so you're saying that it's kind of my fault? Or are you trying to say that he died because of that seal thing. Or are you saying that he died because of a jutsu or something.'
'I guess you could say that. Well, that's all I've got to say, good luck finding out how to work whatever jutsu you're going to use.' Koto blinked. "Jut…su…?" Koto jumped up from where he was sitting. "Hey! Wait a minute! I can't do this by myself! I don't even know what to do even!"
'(sigh) Fine, I'll show you a basic one.'
'Ano, how are you going to show me?' Koto sat down on the coach again and leaned back.
'Just close your eyes.'
'Why?'
'Just do it.'
'But how are you going to show me the jutsu that way?'
'(sigh) Just do it, you'll find out after you do it.' Koto closed his and when he opened them again, he found himself back in the place with the cage.
'Now let's start with the most basic jutsu…'
"So you decided to try it?" Fai was standing in front of Koto a week after the funeral happened. For the past week, Koto had been keeping himself busy by practicing the jutsu Kyuubi taught him and by learning about the basic stuff that shinobi need to know.
"At first I didn't really know how to do it, but now I can do it," he smiled at Fai and then started to do the jutsu. "Henge no Jutsu!" when the smoke cleared, there was a exact replica of Fai.
Well, I guess I should stop here because I've got my other story to do. If you're wondering why I'm doing all those time skips, it's because I really don't want to type all the details down. Well, I hope that you'll review…
Notes:
(1)If you're wondering how Katsuki looks like, he has brown hair that's flattened by a bandana, small green eyes, about Kakashi's height, and that's about all you'll need to know.
(2)To tell you the truth, I'm not sure if hospitals have those light things or not because I always see them on TV whenever someone's having an operation. So I just assumed that they had it in hospitals, but I'm really not sure…
(3)In case you're wondering how Koto knows Fai's phone number it's because he came over a few times andKachiro intoduced him to Koto and they have his number in their phonebook somewhere.
