Thanks to all my reviewers! I am beginning to love writing on here!
To Chaos Jester Power, your question will be answered in this chapter, 'k?
Here is my next chapter of my untitled story! (BTW, still need help on the title!)
All around Konoha, people were mourning their loved ones who had died, and at the same time celebrating the defeat of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. All except for a few people...
Kushina strode back into her hospital room with her son. She was too angry to remember that she was supposed to be in a wheelchair. Kill him... Kill her son!! What in the nine levels of hell were these people thinking! After her declaration in the council room, she had left with her son, with the Hokage and his students following.
Not a second after she had entered, Sarutobi and his three students walked in behind her.
Kushina sat on the bed and looked at her son. Her anger dissipated immediately. He had Minato's hair... Sun-kissed blond, and Kushina just knew that his eyes would be the same, brilliant baby blue. She frowned slightly at seeing that her child's face was marred by six marks, three on each cheek, that made him look as if he had whiskers.
'It must have been a side effect of Kyuubi...' She thought. She was then brought out of her thoughts by Tsunade's hesitant voice.
"Kushina...you're really going to leave, aren't you?"
Kushina looked up from her son to face them. She sighed, knowing that she had to say this.
Addressing the newly re-instated Hokage, she said, "Sarutobi-sama, if I were to stay here, my son would be hated and all out loathed by the people of this village. They have all lost something, and they will be looking for an outlet for their anger... That outlet will not be my son! I can't let it be..." Kushina didn't know why she was trying to justify her actions. She knew all that she was saying as true.
It was Sarutobi's turn to sigh, also knowing that all that had been said was true. He began to speak.
"Minato said that he wished for his son to become a hero of this village. I am sure that many, if not all, will honor his wish. Not all of the villagers will be as bad as you think they will be."
Kushina's face contorted in emotion. Sometimes she was totally surprised at Sarutobi's actions, why was he trying to convince her to stay! Clenching her eyes shut she said, "Than that would be the only wish that these people won't grant him, even in death! I know how a shinobi thinks! I know that they will not be as lenient as you think they will be!
"I can't stop thinking of the fact that if I had died today, my son would not have anyone to care for him! Even if someone wanted to take him in, they couldn't! The council wouldn't allow it!"
Sarutobi was surprised at what she had said, but thinking about it, he knew that that was all true as well. He was even more surprised when Orochimaru stepped forward.
"Kushina-sama," he began, "All of that may be true, but your son is the child of one of the greatest shinobi ever to live. There will be no doubt that he will grow up to be as great, or even greater, than Yondaime-sama ever was."
Kushina's face softened at his words, and she began to think hard. Sarutobi could see the wheels turning in her head.
Then Jiraiya stepped forward.
He spoke in a calm, but apprehensive voice, "Kushina...I know I can't say anything to keep you from leaving, but at least acknowledge the fact that Minato would have wanted his son to grow as a shinobi.
"I think I am not guessing when I say that you are thinking of taking you son to where...she is? At least bring your son back to visit the village, or come to stay for a time every once in a while."
Kushina nodded at him, "I am going to take my son there, but I was already thinking of visiting. My son, however, will not grow as a Konoha shinobi. I only want him to grow with the will of fire...just like Minato wanted."
A scarred man was pacing in his own room, fuming at what had transpired in the council room.
The battle with the Kyuubi had reduced his ROOT members to less than half of what it had been before, and that alone had pissed him off.
Later in the council room, he had been elated when he learned that the demon had been sealed into a human form (AN: he really doesn't get it does he?). His strategic brain had quickly come up with an idea for the demon. 'Turn it into a weapon!' That would finally give ROOT enough power to overthrow the village. But then it all went to hell!
He had waited for the opportune moment to present his idea to the members of the council, when that damned woman walked in and had ruined his chance!. He had still been trying to find another way to present his idea when she had left, with his new weapon nonetheless!
In essence, Danzo was not happy...
"Oh, dear..."
A woman was sitting in her home, with a joyful look on her face. The woman, with dark skin and black lips, smiled.
"Oh, my dear Kushina, your son will be as great as 'is fa'er... I shall make sure of 'dat..."
Deep within a maze of tunnels, a feral like face smiled as well. It had woken up in this place to see the bars of a cage, and had wanted to thrash around in rage. That was, until it had heard the voices of people drifting into the cage.
"Soon..." , it's voice rumbled, "Soon I will be free of this prison, and blood shall be spilled!!"
It is hours later that we see that in a dark room, deep into the tunnels of the Hokage mountain, a man sat. He thought back to what had happened into the hospital room and chuckled darkly.
"I shall soon have all of that power...," the mans voice hissed, "I will soon be greater than any Hokage and as powerful as a god!!
Sorry if the chapter was short, but I'm not really in the mood to write any more than this.
I want to see how many of you can guess who the woman is. She is from a series of movies that was made in the past 8-9 years.
A few more hints. The series is really a trilogy, and the three main characters are all able to use swords and guns, and lastly the two guy main characters are considered hot by most teenage girls.
