Chapter 7: Never Trust The Eye: Never Judge Covers

"Captain Lee can you read me, I think you should come and look at what I have found." Said a rookie ANBU who was panting and at same time astonished at what he had just discovered. There before the ANBU, on the ground were three dead bodies who were covered in blood. The bodies had massive wounds all over them but the one thing they all had in common was they had a bone sword going through the neck. Another thing that the bodies all had in common was that they all had their right hands severed. Then suddenly out of nowhere there was a loud noise which startled the ANBU.

"Captain Lee do you read me. Please Captain Lee answer."

"This is Lee, I'm on my way to you, just hold on awhile longer."

The rookie ANBU was now heading towards the noise he heard. He came to an abrupt stop when he heard the noise again and two man appeared before him. The ANBU could not make out who they were but one thing caught his eye. The two man were vests that revealed their right arms completely. One of the two man had a what appeared to be a bone sword in his hand and it was covered in blood.

"These are the killers." The ANBU quickly reached for his sword and put himself into a defensive position. The man with the bone took a couple steps towards the ANBU with his sword pointing forward. Before the ANBU could react his leg was caught, what appeared to be the tongue o the other man had latched on to him.

"What the hell!"

"Time to die little ANBU," said the man with the bone sword.

The ANBU made a swift motion with sword to cut at the tongue holding him. Before the ANBU could cut the tongue he was jolted downward by the tongue. The force the ANBU hit the ground with was so great it caused him let go of his sword. And then without warning the man with the bone sword jumped on top of the ANBU. He landed feet first on the ANBU's stomach causing him to spew blood from his mouth.

"Now you die."

The bone sword came crashing down onto the ANBU's throat. The sword went into him swiftly, casuing blood to pour out in all directions and his eyes to widen in pain. The man got closer to the ANBU and moved his body so the ANBU could see his bare arm. The dying ANBU eyes widen even more at what he saw, the symbol of the Whirlpool village. The two man quickly jumped away from the ANBU and made handseals and began to melt into the ground.

The dying ANBU feeling his life slipping away from him, began to make handseals. He put his hand on his throat and began applying a healing jutsu on the wound. At the sametime with the other hand he pulled the sword out casuing more blood to pour from him. As the blood poured he put his other hand over it and let his hand get covered in his own blood. He then started to write something on the ground with his on blood. The ANBU finally managed to write all he could before his writing stopped and his body quit moving.

Meanwhile on the other side of Konoha Kushina, Hikaku and Ada were standing at the monument of falling shinobi. Kushina had tears pouring from her eyes, while Hikaku had a hand on her shoulder. Ada on the other hand was looking up at the sky with his hand over his heart.

"This is where Konoha remembers their fallen shinobi. We came here to honor your fathers and your brother Naruto." Said Kushina who was now on her knees with a hand on the monument. Ada was now looking at his tearful mother and at the sametime a bone began to come out of one of his fingers. The bone had a very pointed edge, Ada knelt next to his mother and started to press the bone on the monument.

"What are you doing Ada," said a startled Hikaku. He was now too kneeling next to his mother.

"What does it like I'm doing Hikaku, I'm honoring our brother. His name should be here like all shinobi who fall in the line of duty." Said Ada as he was now almost done carving Naruto's name on the monument. Kushina looked at Ada and smiled at him and for a small moment she had now tears on her eyes.

"You have grown up Ada, now let this be a learning experience, we don't live forever. Life is full of sacrifice, some are going to be so painful you will wish you could die. And some are going to be very gratifying, that will give you bliss beyond believe. But don't ever dwell on making sacrifices, just make sacrifices when there is no other choice."

"Yes mother my brother and I know, you have taught us both very well. But we will not make anymore sacrifices nor will we be the sacrifice for anyone ever again. Whirlpool will rise again no longer will be used to fight others battles." Said Hikaku who had a fire in his eyes that could scare the bravest of people.

Kushina's eyes were now widen as she looked a Hikaku. "My son all who have harmed us and our country will not live much longer, I promise you that. But the people in this village are not all evil, we can not just kill anyone we want to kill. The children in this village do not deserve to die because of the sins of their parents."

Ada who had now finished carving, jumped up and looked at his mother. "Mother do they really deserve out mercy, they treated my brother lower then trash when he was their savior. He never asked for the Kyubi to be put in him but it had to be done. It was a sacrifice. From the stories I have heard no one liked my brother, even the people who supposedly liked him. They were not there for him, no they let him die." Ada's anger was now at a boiling point and his bones from his body were showing.

"I know Ada but we can not let our emotions get the best of us. We have to be rock solid, we have to be a wall no emotions. We have to be strong, for if we are going to prevail, there is no room for us to falter." Said Kushina as she stood and put both of her hands over her heart.

"Very well mother," was all Ada said as he vanished in a puff of smoke.

"Mother are you prepared to go to war with Konoha if it comes down it. Alot of people from our village still resents Konoha for what they let Iwa do to us. They knew of the attack that was coming to Whirlpool but they never told us. They did it because they wanted our help with Suna, treason like that is unforgivable. I assume that most children in this village do not know of the past crimes of this village. But mother even though I would like to see Konoha burning in flames. Whirlpool is peaceful, we don't need the children of our village to suffer, like the ones before them."

"Hikaku you are wise my son, very wise but were just awhile ago wanting to fight."

"No mother all I want to do is to protect my village and its people. And if thaat means going through Konoha so be it, but I will not kill any innocent people."

Kushina smiled at Hikaku and gave him a hug and then they both vanished in a puff of smoke. From a tree near the monument there was a lone Hyuuga woman looking with her Byakugan active.

Finally Lee had made it to the room where the rookie ANBU had fallen. Lee was pushing through all kinds of materials that were on the floor. Lee was startled when he saw the ground more clear, there in front of Lee was a pool of blood.

"Do you read me, do you read me this is Lee, are you ok. What is your location at the moment, do you read me this is Lee."

Lee took out his sword and rushed further into the room. As Lee ran further in, he became even more startled at the carnage he saw. "Blood everywhere, who could have done this." Lee finally reached the end of the room and thats where he saw the three dead bodies. Lee rushed to them and then finally his eye caught the fallen ANBU. Lee switly rushed over to the dead ANBU and checked to see if he was still alive.

"Damn, his youthfulness has left him." And thats when Lee saw what the ANBU had written with his blood on the floor. As Lee read his eyes widen and rage filled in him.

WHIRLPOOL

"But how can they have done this, we have no problems with them." Lee quickly turned around and thats when he saw the bone swords began to melt. Lee didn't bother to look any further and he continued out of the room.

"I must get help but first I must check to see if the the ones who did this are still around this area." Lee jumped to the top of the building and began to look around the area. Lee continued to look for awhile until he saw someone ontop of another building. Lee stared for awhile and thats when he realised the man had two bone swords on his side. "Those swords look very similar to the ones who melted in the room. And his vest looks very similar to those the Whirlpool shinobi wear."

"This is Captain Lee reporting to ANBUHQ, I need medics and teams of ANBU to the location I was headed to earlier. There dead bodies and a dead ANBU, also I have spotted a possible suspect and I will persue."

Lee ran over and jumpped over to another building and rushed to the shinobi he had spotted. When Lee finally got the building where the shinobi was at, he was surprised he didn't startle the shinobi.

"State your name," said a Lee in a very brash manner.

"Fushidara Ada, my dear ANBU captain."

"You will have to come with me to the ANBUHQ, as of this moment you are under suspicion of murdering four people."

"What the hell are you talking about, I just arrived here, I was with my family."

"We will see if you are telling the truth or not, now come with me."

Sakura's Apartment:

Ketsuraku's blood red eyes were staring directly at Nari, they seemed to be burning into his soul. Ketsuraku still had the side of his arm against Sakura's throat, never relenting the pressure. Nari was also now staring at Ketsuraku but his stare was that of complete utter fear. Ketsuraku's eyes were streaming with tears but at the same time demonic aura about him was expanding.

"If I could only see his face and not this damn outline I see. Damn you Sasuke your betrayal haunts me to this day. But from seeing the outline, the boys outline does not look how Sasuke looked when he was younger." Ketsuraku seemed to release some of the pressure he was putting on Sakura. "Boy who is your father and what is Uchiha Sasuke to you and answer me with the truth.

Nari seemed to be shocked when he heard Ketsuraku speak to him. Nari took a few steps backwards and seemed to become a bit stiff. "My father was a great man, he would make impossible possible. He always protected our village and all of his precious people. My father was Uzumaki Naruto a hero of Konoha. The other man is my uncle, he is also my godfather, he too is a great man."

At hearing this Ketsuraku began to increase his pressure on Sakura's neck again. "I'll tell you this one time boy Uchiha Sasuke is no great man, he is nothing but a traitor. But enough of that man, tell me what do the people of Konoha say about your father. Do they say good things or do they say the worst things anyone can say about someone."

"Do not say things like that about Sas," was all Sakura managed to say before Ketsuraku put a hand over her mouth. Ketsuraku turned to look at Sakura with tears in his eyes and began to frown. She on the otherhand was now showing emotion aswell, tears were also running from her eyes.

"Even after what I told you try to defend him, it saddens me Sakura. Why can you not believe me, I'll tell you why its because you never loved me. You only loved him, now boy answer the questions I asked you." Said Ketsuraku as the demonic aura about him became somewhat fainter.

"People say he was demon and that he did very bad things. They say that he almost destroyed Konoha many years ago and that he killed alot of people." Was all Nari could say before he fell to his knees crying.

"People lie all the time, its called ignorance, they immediately hate what they don't understand. But your father was a good man and hopefully he still is. But tell me this what does your mother say about him." Said Ketsuraku who by now had released Sakura from his hold and was directly looking at Nari.

"My mommy says he was a good man and that he was very strong. That he protected everyone and that he saved her life many times. That he was always there for those in need of help and that he never gave up. She has taught me to be like him and thats why one day I'm going to be strong like him. I'm a be a great shinobi like him." Said Nari as he saw Ketsuraku walk closer to him.

"Thats good that your mommy says good things about him. Its also very nice that you want to be like him, you will be a very good man. But now tell me this, how do the villagers treat you, do they treat you nice or treat you badly." Said Ketsuraku who has now right over Nari.

"I don't really like to talk about that, it hurts everytime I think or talk about. But they don't treat me very well, they see me like they saw my father. They say very bad things to me, they see me like a demon. A few times in the past they have hit me, like a few days ago chunins hit me. I'm not a bad guy, I'm a good guy, I promise, I don't know why they don't see that. But I'm going to change them, like my father before me, I'm going to make them see how good I'am." Said Nari as he began to stand up and was eye to eye with Ketsuraku.

"I see things have never change in this village almost nolstagic I would dare say. So they treat you just like your father and even the shinobies harm you. Don't worry Nari they wont ever harm you again, I promise you. Because from this day you wont ever have to worry about being alone. Because I'm here now." Said a grinning Ketsuraku who reached over to Nari and picked him up.

Ketsuraku's Mind:

"What are you doing, why are you letting your emotions control you. You should kill both of them, they will only get in the way of our revenge. You can not go back on what we planned, he is not your son."

"I know what I'm doing, and I feel what I'm doing is the right thing to do. I just the boy is just like me and he suffers just like me. And from now on he will not suffer anymore because I'm going to be by his side. And don't tell me that he is not my son, you and I know he is. His outline is similar to mine and also I can smell me in him, we have similar scents."

"I can control you at anytime I would like to do so, so do not tempt me to do so. If you continue to do what you are doing I'm going to take over and kill them. I will tell you this one time and one time only you are a murderer and you can not change that fact. So now do what I tell you to do and kill them."

"No I will not let you take over me anymore, you can try if you like but you will not succeed. My revenge to kill Sasuke still continues but I will not let any harm come to them. Like I said before I will protect them and I will not let you interfere. And yes I know that I have killed people but most of them have died because of you."

"Look at you now trying to be a man for the first time in your damn life. But you are weak, just like right now trying to blame me for your mistakes. Like I told you murderer I did not kill them people you did. As of now this conversation is over and I'm going to take over."

"Well I suppose we are going to see who is the strongest of us two. But you are just go to waste your time because I will not loose to the likes of you. So now the conversation is really over because I'm taking over."

Back to the apartment:

Ketsuraku who now had Nari in a tight embrace, looked over to Sakura and gave her a faint smile. Then without any warning Ketsuraku gave a painful scream and almost dropped Nari. Ketsuraku fell to his knees but never letting go of Nari, once he placed Nari on his feet. He quickly put his hands over his temples and began to shake violently on the ground. Blood started to stream from Ketsuraku's temples and ears, it looked almost as if it were boiling.

"Whats wrong with him mommy, why is he bleeding, why is shaking. Please help him mommy don't let him die." Stated Nari who was now very nervous.

Sakura looked over to Ketsuraku and quickly ran to his side. She tried to put her hands on him to try to administer a healing jutsu on him only to have her hands burned. Demonic chakra was pouring from Ketsuraku causing her and Nari to feel burning sensation all around them.

"Stay away please, you will get hurt, let me do this on my own." Said Ketsuraku as he sunk further and further into pain. Nari was now standing completely up and had tears in his eyes. He looked over to Sakura for sign of reassurance but it never came, Sakura was just as scared as he was. As Ketsuraku let out more painful screams, Nari took the initiative and began to walk over to him.

"Nari what are you doing, please stop you could get hurt," said a very frantic Sakura. Nari simply looked over at her with a smile and simply nodded at her.

"I know who he is, he is my father, the great man you always told me about. Now its time to help him, he said he would help me and never let me get hurt again. So I will be there for him too, that what good shinobies do." Said Nari as he walked closer and closer to Ketsuraku. The demonic chakra seemed to disperse as Nari walked into it, almost as if it could not harm him. Nari was now right next to Ketsuraku and immediately fell to his knees and embraced him in a hug.

"Nari please stop you are going to get hurt," said Sakura as began to run towards them.

"Stop mommy you are going to get hurt, this chakra seems to hurt you. Don't worry I will make it go away so you can help my father." Nari's hug became even more tighter and the demonic chakra flared up even more. Nari was unrelenting and was now though not getting burned feeling the pain from the heat. "You are my daddy and you have come back to me and I will not let you go away now. I will protect you like you said you would protect me. So now please let the pain go away and be happy here with me and my mommy."

"I will beat you here and now," screamed Ketsuraku as he shaked in pain. Almost as soon as Ketsuraku said that the demonic chakra seemed to start to fade away. The blood coming out of him also stopped flowing and the shaking also stopped. His body was now almost lifeless, his breathing was now very calm as if he were in peace. Nari let go of his embrace and Ketsuraku started to come to.

"Thank you, for being here with me and helping me through that. Now please stop crying and let us enjoy the moment we are sharing at this moment. Nari you are my son and I'm your father, from now on we are going to share the moments we should have always shared."

"Daddy," was all Nari said as he ran over to Ketsuraku and embraced him once again. They both embraced each other and both were smiling like no other. Ketsuraku stood up while picking up Nari, and he looked directly at Sakura with a very faint smile.

"You might not believe me yet of what happened to me long ago but I now know you weren't part of that betrayal. Things between us might never be the same again, but I never stopped loving you. I love you today more then I did back then. You might grow to hate me for what I must do, but for now let us not dwell in the past. Lets us enjoy this moment with our son." Said Ketsuraku as he extended his hand over to Sakura wanting her to emrace him and Nari.

Sakura was in shock at what she was seeing, the extended hand of Ketsuraku. She put a hand over her heart and her other hand began to make its way to Ketsuraku's hand. When both of their hand met it was as if their union was complete, Sakura's eyes were filled with joy.

"Naruto, my Naruto you have come back to us, please don't ever leave us again. I promise you I will make things work, I promise you. Please never stop loving me, I have never stopped loving you and I too love you more then ever." Sakura sobbed as Nari and Ketsuraku embraced her, the family was complete.

"Yes Sakura things will work out, and its about time I let go of the Ketsuraku name. People will now know the Uzumaki Naruto still lives and will avenge all the wrongs that were done to him. But enough of that our family is finally complete so let us enjoy this moment."

"Daddy do you like ramen as much as I do," questioned Nari.

Naruto looked at Nari and smiled at him. "Well Nari you kind off really changed our moment just now. But yes I really enjoy ramen, your mother should know, I'm a ramen machine."

"Is it true mommy," asked Nari of Sakura.

"Its very true he could eat more ramen then anyone in the village." Said Sakura with a smile and thats when there was knock at the door.

"I'll get it screamed Nari," screamed Nari as he pulled from their embrace and went to the door. Naruto and Sakura were now in a full embrace with Sakura resting her head on Naruto's chest. When Nari got to the door and opened it all he could do was smile.

"Who is it Nari," asked Sakura."

"Its Uncle Sasuke!"
