Chapter 9: Joy Enters the Void
Sixteen days since the events that shocked all of Konoha: The Present
Men were hurrying about in a very illuminated room. The men were all wearing white clothing and all of them had medical instruments in their hands. In the back of the room was a steel bed that had many pipes running to it. At the top of the bed hanging from the ceiling were tubes that seemed to be connected to a small child laying on the bed. The small child was not very big in actuallity it appeared the child was having its life drained. The tubes that were attached to the small child were clear and seemed to be flowing with a clear liquid. The body had a very pale color about it and the body's veins were also visible almost as if they were engorged. The child's body was also covered in sweat almost as if the body was literally burning from the the inside. The face of the child was pale aswell and the eyes of the child were wide open. The eyes had tears running from them, the tears were make a small puddle on the cold steel on which the child lay.
A door that was not noticable before opened and thats when the leader of Root Danzou walked in. Danzou walked towards the steel bed in which the child lay, when he reached the bed Danzou gave a very faint smile. Danzou moved his arm forward and place his hand on the child's forhead. Danzou then looked back at the men in white clothing and snapped his fingers. All the men came to an abrupt stoppage and gave all of their attention to Danzou. Danzou it appeared took in joy from seeing the men look at him with fear and respect at the sametime. Danzou then walked away from the bed but not before padding the child's forhead. So now that Danzou was in the middle of the room he sat down and looked up at the ceiling.
"So tell me how does the extraction go. Have there been any complications, has his body rejected any of our experiments." Said Danzou with a sinister smile about his face. Danzou quickly became agitated when none of them answered him and he snapped his fingers again. And thats when finally one of the men approached him and gave him a piece of paper.
"Danzou-sama there have been no complications so far. All experiments have been succesful and the extraction is going very smoothely. As of today we have extracted forty percent of the total enzyme you requested." Said the man in a very somber voice almost as if he was sad. Danzou looked up at the man and simply frowned at him and thats when the man took a few steps back. Danzou seeing this got up from his sitting position and walked towards the man. Danzou placed his hand on the man and begin to pad him on the shoulder. The man to say the least was startled and scared out of his mind by Danzou's actions. Danzou noticing this kept padding the man on the shoulder but was now using more force.
"So tell me, are you scared of me? Tell me do you not agree with what we are doing here today at this very minute." Said Danzou in a very sadistic manner. The man widen his eyes at hearing Danzou speak and being to feel a shiver come across his body. Danzou on the other hand noticed the fear and stopped the padding motion and now was pressing on the shoulder. They were both now eye to eye, one filled with fear and the other filled with pure fear.
"So I will ask you again, do you fear me and are you against what we are doing here." Said Danzou as he now had a firm grip of the man's shoulder. The man had no choice now but speak and hope for the best.
"Of course Danzou-sama I agree with we are doing here today. We follow your guidence, your will is absolute. We try our best to not fail you in anyway," said the man in very slow voice. Danzou looked up at the man simply gave him a very faint smile. The man returned the smile to Danzou but the smile quickly faded to into horror. Danzou had sent chakra to his hand and with a quick motion he cut across the man's neck. The neck of the man had been cut almost to the point of severing head from body. The man's now limp body fell to the ground with blood profusely pouring out from it. All the other man around Danzou were not moving they simply returned to what they were doing before. Danzou took a look at what the other man were doing and smiled and begin to walk towards the door.
"Clean the mess and remember my will is absolute. And remember this when I ask if you fear me, you must always answer withe appropriate answer." This was all Danzou said as he walked out of the room. A man who had been sitting near the child the whole time Danzou was in the room immediately ran to the dead body. He quickly picked up the body and motioned for someone to clean up the blood on the ground. He went out the door and took the lifeless body to another room in the facility. " All in due time Danzou-sama, all in good time. For your ambitions will not be realized, my mission will be carried out. The Godaime empowered me to carry out this mission and I will not fail her. We had always thought you were up to no good and we always made you think we weren't watching. But we were watching you and for to come to this low of a level is unforgivable. But soon it will all unravel before your very eyes."
The man put the body on bed and took time to clean it. The look on the mans face was that of pain and sorrow. He then turned around and put his hand into a pocket in the suit he was wearing. He took a small paper from the pocket and on the hand a very small brown rat like figure began to form. He quickly put the piece of paper next to the rat, which absorbed the paper within itself. With a few hand seals the rat took of with the man looking at it with a rewnew expression about his face.
Three days after the events that shocked Konoha:
A great number of shinobi had gather at the main gates of Konoha. All the shinobi wear a brown vest and had distinctive mark about them, that indicated they were sand shinobi. Closely following the shinobi was the Kazekage, who appeared to be in a sadden state. Once all the sand shinobi had arrived the Kazekage went up to a chunin guard.
"I must with the Hokage this of great importance. Please also if you can spare any medinins, some of my shinobi require medical assistance." Said the Kazekage in very low tone, that came out with pain.
As the chunin walked with Kazekage towards the hokage tower, he pointed out the damage konoha had taken days earlier. The Kazekage looked at the damage and was in awe at the damage Konoha had taken. Many of the building were missing roofs and other building had pieces of wood and metal going through them. Another thing that caught his eye was that entire left side of the barrier that protects Konoha was missing. It was just completely gone as if it evaporated from the ground in which it stood.
"Tell me what happen here, were there casualties, who did this was it Akatsuki." Asked the Kazekage with great interest. The chunin noticing the Kazekage's interest stopped walking and looked at the Kazekage.
"You see three days ago a man came to Konoha and he made remember Konoha is not the prestine angel some people think it is. He came to exact his vegence upon those who had hurt him in the past and those who tarnished his fathers legacy. Uzumaki Naruto returned from the grave to show Konoha, what we had lost when made him into an outcast."
The Kazakage came to a complete stop at hearing the words Uzumaki Naruto. He quickly grapped the chunin from the vest and demanded answers. "Do you speak the truth, how can this be I thought Naruto had died many years ago. But the Naruto I know would not ever dream of harming Konoha. Naruto could not have done this you must be mistaken could it be perhaps another man."
The chunin now seeing the Kazekage wasn't buying his story pointed towards the hokage tower. "The Godaime will tell you all that happened three days ago. But I tell you this I don't lie, the man known as Uzumaki Naruto returned and rained havoc upon Konoha." With that said the chunin and the Kazekage entered the hokage tower and made their way to the hokage's office. Once at the door the Kazekage knocked gingerly until he heard the Godaime speak for him to come in.
"Gaara," was all the Tsunade said as she rushed to embrace Gaara. Gaara still not very used too emotional gestures simply returned the embrace ever so gingerly. Once they broke from the embrace Tsunade studied Gaara's feature and looked deeply into his eyes. She saw that he was troubled and he had been in battle, the scars all around him set it all.
"Gaara my child what happened please tell me, I'm hear to help you."
"Akatsuki came to Suna and caused many problems, they took my sibilings. The village was left in shambles but the people of Suna are strong and we will recover. I had come hear to ask for the assistance of Konoha, in helping rebuild and taking out Akatsuki. But I'm not willing to ask that now, after what I have seen today."
"Nonsense Konoha will help Suna in anyway possible. As for what you seen happened to Konoha do not worry, there were no casualties, no one died. I don't know what made him change his mind but some how he spared us. I think it is the love he feels for her, she is the one that helped to stop him."
"So its true, Naruto has returned from the dead. I'm very happy he has returned, this news will help me deal with my own problems. But please tell me why would Naruto do this to Konoha its not like him, he loves this village."
"Yes it is true Naruto returned but he was changed, Naruto feels a great hate for Konoha. And its not only due to the villagers but to one man, Uchiha Sasuke. The day Naruto returned we learned a great many things, years ago it was Sasuke who betrayed Naruto. He is the one that left Naruto to die and caused him his eye sight. I still don't know if Sasuke acted alone but I have my suspicions."
Gaara was now feeling pure and utter rage and his chakra level was rising. "So tell me where is Naruto I would very much like to see him. And where is the Uchiha I would also like to pay him a visit. And by her you meant Sakura how is she, how did she take all this news at once."
"After the massive chakra explosion we lost track of him, do not know where Naruto is. It seems he simply disappeared but I think the people from his clan had something to do with it. As for Sasuke he is presumed dead, his body was never recovered after the explosion. And as for Sakura at this very moment she is in a coma, she risked it all to stop Naruto."
"I see, will Naruto's clan treat him right? And whats the name of this clan. Do you think the Uchiha could have survived. Sakura is strong she will recover and live strong for her son."
"His clan is from the Whirlpool village and believe me they will treat him with all the care in the world. They are the Uzumaki clan a very powerful clan. Anything is possible, I'd like to hope he is dead but who knows. As the chakra explosion only damage buildings but no villager was hurt, its possible he survived. And for Sakura I'm sure she will recover, but we have more pressing manners at the moment. The day Naruto returned Sakura left Nari with Ino. And when Ino was bringing Nari here she was attacked and Nari was taken captive. I have people searching for him and have man in secret locations looking for him. No one has reported yet but I expect a report soon."
"Nothing ever seems to work out the way we want it to do so. But do not worry I will also help search for Nari. But first I must help my village and find where Akatsuki has my siblings. But at this moment there is another pressing matter we must discuss."
Tsunade was now looking at Gaar with great interest. "So tell me Gaara whats the pressing matter you with to discuss."
"As you know Akatsuki came to Suna and caused problems. I'm certain they will head to Konoha and try to do the same. But that not the most troubling problem, the biggest problem is that one of the legendary sennin is with them now."
"OROCHIMARU," screamed Tsunade at the top of her lungs. Gaara looked at her and then faced down and took in a deep breath. "No Tsunade-sama its now him but its Jiraiya, he is in league with Akatsuki. He blames this village for the death of Naruto and wants to make them pay. I don't know if there is any good left in him."
Tsunade fell to her knees at hearing the news from Gaara. She placed a hand over her heart and begin to cry. "I didn't know where he left to after we thought Naruto died, I haven't heard from him in so many years. I can not believe he is with them now, we must find away to change Gaara, thats not the real Jiraiya. I wish you were lying to me but I know you do not lie."
The Present:
Yamanaka Ino was resting her head on the bed in which her best friend Haruno Sakura was resting on. Ino had not left her friends side for fifteen days, she had even skipped most of her shinobi duties. Other friends of Ino had tried to get Ino to go out and do other things but Ino would not budge from Sakura's side. Everytime someone came she would either cry or become very angry, it was almost a ritual by now. But today seemed to be a little different, Ino seemed to be in better spirits and was expecting a visit from a good friend. After some hours had past and Ino became a bit inpatient there was knock at the door. Ino rushed at the door and sure enough there was her friend, she smiled and gave him a hug.
"Lee it is so nice to see you, I'm also very happy you recovered from your injuries very quickly." Said Ino as she let go of Lee to go back and sit next to Sakura.
"It is nice to see you aswell Ino-san and I see that you are doing much better." Said Lee as he walked into the room and sat opposite to Ino.
"So Lee have tell me is there news about Nari or Naruto. Please Lee tell me there is news, tell me there is good news, please Lee." Said Ino as tears began to roll down from her eyes.
"Ino-san please do not cry, I do not like to see my friends cry. And I'm sorry Ino-san we have not recieved any news on either of them. I wish I could to tell you we have recieved news on them but I could not lie to you."
"Lee..."
Lee stood up and put a hand on Ino's shoulder and begin to pad her gently. "Ino-san do not give up, I am certain we will find them and bring them back do not worry. You have to be strong aswell you can not let things linger for so long."
"But Lee do you know not see It is my fault she is in this state."
"Ino-san..."
"Lee what am i going to do when she wakes up and I have to tell her Nari is gone. She is going to hate me Lee, she is going to blame for her son being gone. And I can't blame her for she will be right it is my fault."
Lee grapped Ino from both shoulders and put her next to him in a tight embrace. Ino looked up at him and gave him a very small smile and rested her head on his shoulder. They were both in that embrace for that seemed to be hours but it came to an end when Lee noticed Sakura's eyes blink some what. They both Let go of each other and turned to look at Sakura with great interest.
Sakura's Mind:
Sakura was only feet away from Naruto as she watched in horror at what was going before her very eyes. Naruto infront of her was preparing to bring the two rasengans in each of his hands together and unleash the blinding storm upon Konoha. Sakura move to get infront of Naruto, now that she was directly infront of him she rushed to embrace him. Other shinobies around her were screaming for her to stop but she did not listen. Once she had reached Naruto she embraced Naruto and begin to hold him with all her might. The chakra that was pouring from Naruto began to burn Sakura's skin and at the sametime the wind around him was cutting her skin aswell. Naruto seemed to be oblivious to Sakura embracing him even though she was aqueezing him hard enough to break bone. And then as the rasengans were inches away from each other, they came to an abrupt stop. Sakura had begun to pad Naruto on the chest with all her might and thats what caught his attention.
"Naruto what are you doing you have to stop this at once. Naruto this not you please stop Naruto, please stop this. Naruto please forgive me, please forgive me Naruto, please forgive everyone." Said Sakura as she began to fall to the ground due to massive chakra pressure she was under. Sakura's skin was now covered in blood and her clothing was being ripped. Naruto heard Sakura and looked down upon her falling body. As she fell one of the rasengans decipated from Naruto's hand and he caught her. He brought her up to him and this seemed to have a calming effect on Naruto for the winds around him begin to die down. The funnel that had formed around Naruto was all but gone now and all the people around be came to get a little closer.
"Sakura what am I doing..."
"Naruto please stop and lets just go away from this place together with our son as a family." Said Sakura as she put a hand on Naruto's cheek and smiled at him. Naruto was now letting his guard down and most of the chakra puring from him was gone. He was still holding a rasengan in one of his hands but no longer had any killer intent.
"Sakura I'm so sorry for this, it will stop here and now I promise." Said Naruto as he turned to put Sakura on the ground to look at her wounds. Sakura smiled at him but thats when something caught her eye she saw shinobi had now lifted Sasuke to his feet. Sakura saw that the Sharingan was active in his eyes and that he shoing nothing but hatred towards them. She saw Sasuke make a motion with the hand that had not be severed. She then looked at Naruto and then looked back at Sasuke only to see kunai flying at them. She then tried to move Naruto so the kunai would hit her and not hit Naruto. But Naruto would not budge he just simply finished placing her on the ground and smiled at her.
"Naruto move," screamed Sakura at the top of her lungs. Naruto did not move he simply kept smiling and thats when kunai struck him on the back. The kunai struck Naruto with great force causing Naruto to scream in pain and letting go of Sakura. Naruto winced and almost fell towards Sakura but he got his barings together and lifted himself up. Naruto then turned around to face his attackers and thats when Sakura saw Naruto had been impaled by 5 kunai. Sakura tried to get and stop Naruto only to fall due to her wounds and fatigue. Naruto simply kept towards the shinobies who had attacked him and Sasuke.
"Naruto no, stop Naruto, come back please," screamed Sakura.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan," said Naruto as he kept walking.
Naruto was now face to face with Sasuke and his attackers. The shinobi took a few steps back and the ones carrying Sasuke stood their ground. Sasuke on the otherhand was looking at Naruto with complete and utter hate. Naruto smiled and gave him a small wink as he raised the hand in which he carried the rasengan. Sasuke's eye were wide open and were bearing down on Naruto as if to reach to his soul.
"You will die here and now Naruto for what you have to me." Screamed Sasuke at Naruto while making a down motion with his eyes. And thats when a shinobi appeared from behind Naruto and plunged a sword into Naruto's back. The sword went into the back of Naruto and coming out the otherside causing Naurto to fall to one knee. The shinobi then jumped back and headed towards Sasuke leaving the sword in Naruto. Sakura seeing this screamed in horror and tried to get up but her injuries again would not let her.
Sasuke again motioned to the shinobi around him and they begin to take him towards Naruto. Naruto was in one knee and at the same time he was coughing blood. For all the pain and injuries Naruto was in he had not let the rasengan go from his hand. Sasuke was now next to Naruto and with his hand he slapped Naruto across the face. Naruto did not budge one bit he simply just stood there as if he were waiting for the right moment.
"Coward why do you not fight back now," said Sasuke as he smirked at Naruto.
Meanwhile behind Sakura other shinobi to appear Tsunade, Ada, Lee, Hikaku, Kushina and so on. And others were now on roof tops and not to mention most of them had their weapons drawned. Tsunade quickly ran over to Sakura to check her wounds. Tsunade had begun to treat Sakura when she saw Naruto infront of her.
"Sakura who is that man," asked Tsunade of Sakura.
"Tsunade-sama its Naruto he has returned," said Sakura as tears fell from her eyes.
Tsunade was stunned she could not believe what she had just heard. She looked at Sakura and then looked up at Naruto and began to cry.
"Naruto is that you," scream Tsunade with all her might.
Naruto who was Now suffering from massive blood loss turned to look at her and simply smiled. Naruto then turned to look at Sasuke who was smiling at him. Naruto began to raise himself of then ground and started to walk towards Sasuke. The shinobi around Sasuke raised their weapons and chraged at Naruto only to be knocked down by a wave of chakra released by Naruto. With shinobi on the ground Naruto kept walking towards Sasuke who was now barely standing. Sasuke looked around only to see his men on the ground and no one coming to his aid. Naruto grapped Sasuke from the throat and the rasengan on his hand began taking a shuriken form. Sasuke tried pushing away from Naruto but it was of no use Naurto's hold on his throat was to strong.
"Now tell everyone here what happened in the past. Let them know who the real you is, let them know what kind of trash you really are." Screamed Naruto as he squeezed even harder on Sasuke's throat. Sasuke was still trying to break from the hold but it was to now avail.
"Do you really think these people here will believe me if tell them what you want me to tell them. I'm lover here and you are hated here did you forget that." Said Sasuke as he gasped for air.
"Tell them..."
"Very well I will them what you want them to hear. Years ago I Uchiha Sasuke betrayed Naruto, I cost him his eyes, I left him to die. The person you all know me as is nothing but a shell used to manipulate you all." Said Sasuke who was still gasping for air.
People around them began to talk, scream and others actually began to shed tears. Tsunade was in mad rage and started to run towards Naruto and Sasuke. But Tsunade was stopped by a late arriving shinobi Hatake Kakashi. Tsunade looked at Kakashi with anger and tried to push him of her.
"Kakashi what the hell are you," yelled Tsunade.
"Stop Tsunade-sama this must happen please let it be," replied Kakashi.
"THERE ONE MORE THING I HAVE NOT MENTIONED YET. LONG AGO I SHOULD HAVE KILLED THE DEMONS CHILD FOR THEY CARRY THE SAME TAINTED BLOOD." Screamed Sasuke as he felt Naruto's fingers puncturing his throat.
"It all ends here Sasuke," was all Naruto said as he jumped into the air with Sasuke. In the air Naruto lifted his hand that was carrying the rasengan which was now a full out shuriken. Naruto then drove himself and Sasuke towards the protective wall that surrounds Konoha. As they reached the wall Naruto pressed the shuriken into Sasuke causing Sasuke's flesh to tear. And thats when they reached the wall, the shuriken fully engulfed Sasuke. There was a massive dome of blue chakra created by the impact. The was completely coming down and disappearing at the sametime due to the wind that was cutting it. Sasuek and Naruto were also being shredded by the wind being realeased by the explsion. The wind from the epicenter went flying into Konoha causing debree to go flying everywhere. All people could hear were two very painful screams and thats when Sakura raised herself from the ground.
What Sakura saw horrified her beyond believe and all she could do was put her hands over her heart. As the winds from the explosion began to die down and dust cleared and debree came back to earth. Everyone looked to see where Naruto and Sasuke were but at the center of the explosion a thick smoke cloud seemed to linger.
Present:
"Do you think she is dreaming Lee," asked Ino.
"Let us hope it is a very good dream she is having Ino-san." Replied Lee was very big smile.
"Heh, Lee you are always in good spirits."
"Thank you Ino-san for your kind words," said Lee as he began to walk towards the door.
"Where are you going Lee," asked a very intriguied Ino.
"I have to do something very important now Ino-san. Do not worry this thing I must do is very important to all of us. Good bye for now Ino-san." Said Lee as he walked out the room to meet a waiting Neji.
