Chapter 10: Dreams and Reality

"Come on mommy, I want to go see daddy," said a rather joyful Nari. Sakura simply smiled upon her son and grabbed his hand and together they walked towards the hokage tower. Nari at this point was almost dragging his mother, he was running like a mad man. Sakura didn't seem to be bothered though she was just going along for the ride. As they reached the hokage tower Nari broke free from Sakura's grip and rushed in the tower. Nari ran through the tower passing shinobies and many other people who simply smiled at him. Everyone knew who it was and had come to expect this from Nari. Sakura had finally reached the tower and entered only to see paper flying and people smiling.

Sakura tried to put up the best smile she could when she looked at the people around her. "I'm sorry about Nari, I hope he didn't disturb any of you," said Sakura. Everyone looked at her and their smiles even got bigger which made her even more flustered.

"Don't worry Sakura-sama he is just like his father after all."

Sakura looked at the shinobi speaking and laughed a bit. "They are quite a like aren't they, my two blonde knuckleheads."

Nari was now at the door to the hokage's office and slowly began to open it. As he walked in he saw his father looking outside from the balcony. This gave Nari many ideas, so he decided to act one of them. Nari softly closed the door and ducked down and began to make his way towards his father. Nari was now right next to Naruto's desk, seeing that his father was still looking outside Nari lifted his clinched his fist. Naruto had a big smile across his face he had sensed Nari all along and was waiting for him. Without even making handseals Naruto made a kage bunshin of himself which took his place. The real Naruto was now above on the roof waiting for Nari who never noticed the change. Nari was now determined and launched himself forward striking the kage bunshin. Nari was shocked to say the least when he saw a puff of smoke and he fell to the ground.

"What the, no way he got me again, he always does this." Screamed Nari.

Nari quickly looked up only to see his father on the roof laughing. Nari was now fuming, he got himself up and began to kick the ground. Naruto came down to him and grabbed him from both his shoulders. Naruto then lifted Nari up, Nari had turned his face the opposite way he did not want to face his father. Naruto saw this and gave a small frown and decided to cheer Nari up.

"Nari are you mad at me," asked Naruto of Nari. Nari did not turn to look at his father he just simply kept looking away from him. Naruto put his hand on Nari's cheeck and gently turned Nari to face him. They were now eye to eye with Nari pouring tears and Naruto showing joyful eyes.

"So I ask you again Nari are you mad at me," asked Naruto.

"Why can't I ever get you, why do you always escape," said Nari.

Unkown to them Sakura had entered the room and was watching the father and son conversation. Naruto placed Nari back on the ground and ruffled his hair which made Nari laugh.

"Listen Nari one day you will surpass me and I wont ever be able to escape you. But in the meantime you will have to keep trying and never give up. Keep training and always strive to be better." Said Naruto as he bent down to face Nari.

"But its not fair I want to be strong now, I don't want to be last," said Nari.

"You wont be last Nari if you never give up. Look at me Nari, I used to be a dead last everyone thought I was useless. But I tried my hardest and I never gave up and became the very best I could be. Look at me now I'm the hokage and its all due to trying hard and never giving up." Said Naruto as he looked at Nari with intent eyes.

Nari looked at his and rushed onto him causing Naruto to fall his back. Nari was now on top of his father hugging him. "I'm sorry daddy. I promise I'm going to try harder from now and be the best I can be. No more will Nari be the last from now on Nari is at the top. I'm going to work hard and harder everyday, I promise." All Naruto could do was smile at his son and lifted himself and Nari. Thats when they both noticed Sakura in the room and with her hands at her chest. She had tears running down her eyes and a smile at the sametime. Naruto and Nari both made their way to Sakura, when they reached her they both hugged her.

"I love you both very much," said Sakura as she cried some more. Nari hugged her side and Naruto kissed her on the cheeck. Sakura was now smiling as she put her hand on Nari's head and returned the kiss to Naruto. "We love you too," said Naruto and Nari in unison.

"Hey I have an idea, follow me," said Naruto with a great smile. Naruto picked up Nari grabbed Sakura's hand and let them towards the balcony. Naruto and his family jumped of the balcony and Naruto let them passed the hokage tower. They kept going til finally they reached their destination which surprised Nari and Sakura. Naruto put Nari down and grabbed his hand, he was still holding Sakura's hand.

"Naruto what are we doing here, you haven't been here in a long time." Said Sakura with great interest. Naruto just squeezed slightly on her hand and then turned to look at Nari. Nari always looked at the faces on the hokage mountain but he had never been this close before. Nari was in awe to say the least, as he turned to look at his father.

"What do you see Nari," asked Naruto of Nari.

"I see the hokages of the past," answered Nari.

"Is that all... not sure you might also see something else?" Said Naruto as he walked forward and thent urned to look back at Nari. Nari did not know what to say, he didn't really know what else he saw other then the faces of the past hokages. But he knew there was something his father admired about them. Sakura was now looking at Naruto and Nari with great curiosity. After minutes of silence Nari finally decided to say what else he saw.

"I see determination, I see people who never gave up," said Nari. Nari was looking up at Nari as if waiting for reassurance and thats when Naruto came down to Nari. Naruto then whispered into Nari's ear "you are right never forget it." Nari's smile grew very large and Sakura seeing this could only smile at her two knucklheads.

Present somewhere unkown:

A woman was laying next to a man who was covered in bandages from head to toes. Next to her was another man who was padding her back as if to comfort her.

"Looks like he is dreaming I hope it is a good dream," said the man. The woman turned to look at him and smiled at him with tear filled eyes.

Present Konoha:

Tsunade was ruffling through sets of papers, she was signing some, tearing some and she was also drinking sake. Her assistant Shizune was just watching her and she would cringe everytime Tsunade would take a swig of sake. They were both in the office for what seemed to be for hours without anything arising interest. But that all changed when from the balcony window a little brown rat made its way to Tsunade's desk. When the rat finally reached the middle of the desk it disappeared in puff of smoke leaving behind a piece of paper. Tsunade immediately picked up the paper and began to read it.

Hokage-sama,

The mission goes well at the moment no one suspects a thing. I have found the boy and Danzou's people are running tests on him. They seem to be extracting an enzyme from his body but at this point I do not know what the enzyme is being used for. I'm going to set things up for a bit longer so there will be no chances of me being caught when I take the boy with me. Another thing to report a few days they brought in a body of a fallen Konoha shinobi. I did not get to see the body or find out the name of the man. That is all for now hokage-sama the boy and I will be in Konoha very soon.

Yamato...

Tsunade handed the note to Shizune who aswell began to read it. Meanwhile Tsunade had stood and walked towards the window in her office. She had gone into what almost seemed to be a trance mode, she was just staring outside blankly. After some minutes passed tears began to stream down Tsunade's eyes. Shizune came next to her and put a hand over Tsunade's shoulder comforting her. Tsunade looked at Shizune tried to give her a genuine smile but it was of no use Tsunade was to sad at this point in time.

"Tsunade-sama please do not worry I'm sure Yamato will complete his mission. Also him finding Nari is a blessing, things are looking up for us." Said Shizune as walked towards Tsunade's desk, at the desk she began to pour sake into two saucers.

"Shizune..."

Meanwhile some few miles outside of Konoha five people were gathered. All were wearing black robes with crimson clouds covering the robes. There was tall man with blue skin and large sword covered in wraps. There was a man who had a black and white face with golden eyes and what appeared to be a plant around him. There was also a man with long white hair and large scroll on his back. There was also a man with bolts on his face he had auburn hair and also a woman with blue hair. The group of people shifted their veiw away from Konoha and were all now facing the man with bolts on his face.

"As you know very soon we will take out Konoha, we will erase everything that ever was Konoha. But we will not take the same approach as we did in other villages, we will destroy the village in secret until the day we strike in full force. I want to give it time so we can use the two sand shinobies we captured on Konoha." Said the man with bolts on his face, he almost said it with a sadistic voice. The woman then approached the bolt faced man and turned to look at the others.

"You heard Pein state we will destroy this village in secret. I will enter the village as grass shinobi and get a room for us to stay in. Zetsu will begin rounds of spying across the village, your job will be to find out the weak points all around the village."

The man with plant around him began to melt into the ground and in very deep voice said. "Zetsu will not fail the leader, now I'm to complete my duties. Konan I suggest you do the same failure is not an option." Konan looked at the melting Zetsu and gave him a hateful look. Thats when the white haired man moved forward and placed a hand on Pein's shoulder. Pein turned to look at him and gave him shady look.

"What is it Jiraiya-sensei," said an almost annoyed Pein. Jiraiya let out a small chuckle at hearing Pein talk and began to pad him on the shoulder. "You know Pein you need to ease up some, you seem to have alot of pent up rage. Look at me I want to destroy everything that has to do with Konoha and yet I'm very calm. We have made it very far at this point we can not afford any mistakes." Said Jiraiya as he noticed Pein tense up quite a bit.

"Do you forget that I am a god sensei, as a god I don't know what failure is. But you are right there is somethings that are bothering me at the moment. There is a man that I must kill but I haven't heard from him in quite awhile." "Where are you Ketsuraku, I must kill you."

Jiraiya just looked at Pein and gave a faint smile. "Then out victory is already at hand. This man you speak of Pein where is he from and why do you want to kill him."

"He is a man from Amegakure, he is what you might call a rival. He was the only man to ever hurt a god and for that I will never forgive him. I will erase everything about him, his family, his friends, it will be as he never was born." Said Pein with very malicious intent pouring from him, which surprised Jiraiya somewhat.

"A man that could possibly hurt a god, how is that possible. I must learn more about this Ketsuraku, he seems to be a very interesting person." Said Jiraiya as he turned to look at the man with the blue face who had remained silent this whole time. The man noticed Jiraiya looking at him and reached for his sword.

"I do not have time for your sly jokes old man. We came here to accomplish goals and thats what will do." Said the man who now had his sword pointing at Jiraiya. Jiraiya just looked at him with an almost dumbstruck look about him. "Easy, easy Kisame you don't want to do something you could regret later. I know we have a goals to finish and thats what we will do." Said Jiraiya to Kisame which caused Kisame to smile a bit and put his sword down. Kisame then turned to look at Pein who was now sitting on log.

"How do you think Itachi and the others are doing. I'm sure by now the sealing process should be complete and the weapons should be ready."

Pein looked at Kisame and gave him a motion with his hand as too singal everything was ok. "Last I heard from Itachi the sealing was complete and they were headed here. It will take them time to get here from their present location and thats why we use a different approach."

All of Akatsuki gathered around a camp fire which was made by Jiraiya. They all sat at the fire for what seemed to be hours, no one spoke it was and endless silence. And then out of nowhere Pein raised his hand motioning Konan to move out. Very quickly Konan disappeared, leaving the rest of Akatsuki back at to their endless silence.

Meanwhile somewhere in area between Rain Country and Fire Country stood two shinobies. They were two Konoha shinobi, they were Rock Lee and Hyuga Neji. The two had been traveling for quite awhile and it was noticable they appeared to be tired. Lee took piece of paper from his backpack and handed it to Neji. As Neji read the paper his eyes widen and then he looked at Lee who was simply looking forward.

"Lee...What this paper says can't be right. I know the Amekage was killed but he was not killed by a Konoha shinobi. So now we are to take his body which is sealed in one of the scrolls you carry. We are to take him back to Amegakure and make the case that it was not a Konoha shinobi who did this."

Lee still looking forward frowned a little, well as much as Lee could frown. "Yes Neji that is what we must do and we will plea our case even it costs us our lives. Konoha can not afford to go to war at this point in time. But thats not all the problems we will face. During my talk with Tsunade-sama it was revealed that Naruto-kun belonged to Amegakure."

Neji was take back with what has just been said by Lee. "So this will bring us even more problems then I expected. Not only will we have tell them about their leaders death in Konoha but also that top shinobi of theirs died or disappeared in Konoha."

"That is right Neji and that is what we will do for Konoha. If our youthful sparks are to be extinguished so be it but we will carry mission to the end."

"All right lets do it," screamed Neji as both shinobies jumped onto the trees above them.

Two Days Later:

Hikaku was standing at an observation post in the middle of Whirlpool Country. He had been at this post alone for days now, he had not wanted anyone to come near him. Many days earlier he had seen things that shattered him and had found out things that he could not understand. In his eyes some of the things he learned of were sins that could not be forgiven. Thats when he noticed someone was coming to the observation post. It was his brother Ada coming to the post, when Ada reached the post, both brothers were locked in a deep stare.

"What do you want here Ada, like I told you before I want to be left alone. I need time to be at peace, I need time to figure out what to do next. I need time figure out why things are the way they are."

"I'm only here because our mother asked me to come check up on you. She is worried about you and I'm also worried about you Hikaku. Also I came yo ask you why you haven't gone to see him, I don't understand why you haven't seen him. Afterall it was you who saved him with your smoke jutsus."

"I will see him Ada, he is our brother but I need to clear my mind. Just so many things I want answers too, like why would our brother let himself become what he became. But no matter what I will help me all I can, afterall it is not his fault that thing was placed in him. But now that I know the truth I blame Konoha for that happened to him."

"Hikaku calm down you are sounding like me. Remember you always used to tell me to practice restraint and now you must be do the same. We can not be rash, you must return to the old Hikaku. Yes I know Konoha harmed him but right now is not the time to plot for revenge. Right now is the time help our brother once he awakens."

"But Konoha has caused our family so much problems. We can not allow them to continue to do the things they have done. But you are right at this moment in time we must help our family get back on its feet."

Ada turned around and began to walk away from his brother all he did was a motion. Hikaku got up from the chair he sat on and followed Ada.

Meanwhile back in Konoha Tsunade had gone to the hospital to check up on Sakura. No suprise to Tsunade she had found Ino still at Sakura's side. Ino looked up at Tsunade and gave her a small smile which Tsunade returned.

"Nice to see you Tsunade-sama," softly said Ino.

"Likewise Ino, how is she doing any changes," said Tsunade. Noticing Ino's dimeaner only made Tsunade feel sadder then what she already was. Tsunade had been hoping that by a miracle Sakura had woken up from the coma she was in. She wanted to tell her the news that Nari was going to be back home soon.

"Do you mind if I stay here for awhile," asked Tsunade of Ino. Ino simply nodded and sat next to Ino and so they both watched over Sakura.

Outside the main gates to Konoha Konan had made her way to the chunin guards. Konan was now wearing a grass ninja vest and a her forhead protector was that of a grass ninja. The chunin now looking at her examined her quite alot before he decided to speak.

"Can I help you grass ninja," asked the chunin. Konan looked at him and gave small and giggled aswell. "Of course I would like to lodge in Konoha for sometime, I'm sure it wont be problem. Given that our villages have a non aggression pact." Konan said this as she gave the chunin a very sultry look.

"No not at all it wont be problem at all, welcome to Konoha," said the rather flustered chunin. After showing her indentification to the chunin the chunina let her pass. Konan made her way across Konoha by this time she was about half way across Konoha. She found a hotel and walked in, it took only a short amount of time for her to get a room. Now that she had gotten the room Akatsuki needed she made her way across Konoha once again but this time it appeared she was looking for someone or something. As Konan walked she accidently stumbled into someone, it was none other Aburame Shino a jounin of Konoha.

"Please forgive me, my mistake," said Shino to Konan. Konan examined Shino then smiled at him and padded Shino's shoulder. "No problem, I wasn't paying attention," said Konan who seemed to be blushing. This caught Shino's eye as he gazed at her beauty.

"I see that you are not from Konoha, would you like any help around the village. And by the way my name is Aburame Shino," said Shino. Konan was now completely blushing and could only nod at him.

"Sure I'll take the help and my name is Saiyo," said Konan as she grabbed Shino's hand. They above turned around and continued to walk towards the center of Konoha. During this time Konan had her hand in her pocket, inside her pocket was a small flask.

"Is there sake shop around here," asked Konan of Shino. Shino simply nodded and led her towards a local sake shop.
