Chapter 12: As the Long days Pass
"This pain is so intense I don't know for how much longer I can go on. I made a promise I would deliver the boy safely but how can I accomplish my promise." Thought Yamato as he laid on the ground with blood flowing profusely from the left side of his body. Yamato was completely out of breath he was gasping for every amount oxygen he could get into his body. He continued to lay there for what seemed to be hours until finally wood began to sprout around his massive wound. Yamato's face was in complete agony, the pain must have been so intense but Yamato never let out a cry of pain. Yamato got up to his feet and began to walk aimlessly in an unkown direction.
Meanwhile at the main gates of Konoha the chunin guards that were on duty saw a figure approaching them. The chunin got up from their seats and went towards the approaching figure. When they both reached the figure they were both in complete and utter shock. "Captain Yamato," they both said in unison and thats when they spotted the small boy he was holding. Thats when Yamato collapsed to the ground becoming pieces of wood, one of the chunins quickly rushed towards the falling boy and caught him. The two chunins were now both looking at the boy with dumbfound eyes. "Whats your name boy," they both said in unison.
"My name is Uzumaki Nari," said Nari as he wiped the tears from his eyes. Nari had small bruises and cuts all over his body but other then that he appeared to be well. One of the chunins quickly picked up Nari and tried to calm him down. "Don't worry I'm taking to your mom and the hokage so cheer up kid." Said the chunin as he walked with Nari who's eyes were now glittering with hope. Meanwhile the other chunin stayed back and seemed to be really angry and was also clinching his fist.
"STOP!"
"THATS THE DEMON'S SON WE COULD KILL HIM RIGHT NOW AND NO ONE WOULD KNOW YOU FOOL."
The chunin holding Nari stopped for a second but continued to walk away from the other chunin. "Don't worry I told you it would be ok so let us continue on our way." Said the chunin to Nari as he squeezed Nari closer to him. Meanwhile the other chunin was going ballistic and began to pound the ground with his feet. The chunin holding Nari simply smiled at Nari as they both heard the man go ballistic.
"Ahh, here we are Nari the hokage tower," said the chunin. The chunin kicked the doors open to the hokage tower and ran like a mad man towards the hokage's office. Now Nari and the chunin were at the door to the hokage's office and thats when the chunin kicked the door open. Tsunade was sitting on her chair with Sakura and Ino sitting across from her when they were startled by the boistrous chunin.
"Konohamaru you idiot," screamed Tsunade before she realized who Konohamaru was carrying. Sakura turned to see what was going on and thats when her sadness faded away and she was filled with complete and utter joy. Her eyes flowed with tears and she flew from the chair in which she sat. She grabbed Nari away from Konohamaru and hugged very tightly and repeatedly kissed him. Sakura and Nari were both now crying and thats when Tsunade and Ino joined the embrace.
"Nari my son you came back to me," cried Sakura.
"My grandson has returned thank you kame," cried Tsunade.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry Nari, said a tearful Ino.
Nari tried to talk but the three women would not let him they were just hugging very tightly. After a short time Sakura picked Nari up and held him high in the air and smiled at him. Thats when Sakura began to cry again for joy and for sadness at the time. Tsunade and Ino noticed this and they both went over to Sakura and wrapped themselves around her.
"Sakura didn't I tell you Naruto is alive there is no need to be sad your son is back with you." Said Tsunade as she ruffled Nari's hair but thats whens he realised what she had just said. Tsunade quickly trying to change the subject jumped over to her desk and sat down. She looked up at Sakura and gave her a small smile and that a small frown saying she was sorry. Sakura by this time had laid Nari on the ground and began to perform healing jutsus on him. Thats when she noticed that he had many sores around his body at many vein intersections. Tsunade looking from a far also noticed this and just like Sakura became very curious.
"Nari what did they do to you," asked Sakura of her son. Nari would not answer her, all he did was close his eyes as if wanting her not to ask that question. Sakura noticing this did not try to ask him anymore but was very curious to know what had happen to him. Konohamaru came from behind and padded Nari on the shoulder and then began to exit the office when Tsunade stopped him.
"I was caught up in the moment how is Yamato doing Konohamaru," asked Tsunade. Konohamaru looked at her with sad eyes and then looked at the ground. "Nari was brought to us by a clone, at the moment I have no idea where the real Yamato might be."
"Damn it," screamed Tsunade. She then got up from her chair and walked over to Konohamaru and began to whisper into his ear. "Listen I want you to go find Ibiki we will go look for him. He preformed a great duty for us we can not let it go in vein. Oh an Konohamaru please put on your jounin vest, you are no longer a chunin for crying out loud."
With that said Konohamaru left the office and Tsunade turned back to look at Nari. "I'm sorry to have to ask you this Nari but where is Yamato," asked Tsunade in very soft words. Nari was now staring at Tsunade with fear in his eyes but with a jolt of reassurance from Sakura words began to come from his mouth.
"I don't remember much about what happened but he a made a clone and ordered it to bring me back to Konoha." Said Nari as he looked at Tsunade with very concerned eyes. Sakura was also looking at Tsunade with concerned eyes but also at this time she was feeling guilty. She could not help but feel guilty for Yamato not being here with them celebrating Nari's return.
"Nari, I hate to ask again but what happened to Yamato, was he hurt? Was there a battle, did you guys get caught, please tell me Nari what happened to Yamato." Said Tsunade as she was now completely worried for Yamato's safety.
"Grandma! Please don't make me talk about it, I don't want to remember about that anymore." Said Nari as he turned his head into his mothers shoulder as if to hide away from Tsunade. Sakura knew that somehow they had to get Nari to talk so she did what she thought best to do. "Nari I know you have been through alot but we have to know what happened. If we don't know what happened, we can't help Yamato. So will you tell us Nari, Yamato sacrirficed it all for you, so you can't let him down now. Also if you tell us I will take you to get ramen as soon as possible."
At hearing the word ramen all fears Nari had were gone and he was ready to talk. "Ok but I will only say this once and I will never say it again. Yamato was injured as he rescued me and with his last ounces of strength he made the clone that brought me here. The escape was very at the start until he showed up and hurt Yamato."
"How did that man hurt Yamato," asked Tsunade of Nari.
"Who was that man," asked Sakura of her son.
Nari looked at them and began to hesitate at answering them almost as if he feared to answer them. "He...was hurt...on his left side...the hand hurt him and caused him pain. I was scared I never expected him to try to hurt me or Yamato. Why would he do that to me mommy. Yamato hurt him too but he had the chakra around him like my dad it seemed like he didn't hurt at all.
"Nari what do you mean chakra like your dad and who was this man," said a demanding Tsunade. Nari knew he had to answer his grandma and with all of his might he mustered out two words.
"Uncle Sasuke."
Naruto's Mind:
"Come on Nari we are going to be late, we promised your mom we would meet her for dinner"
"But dad can't we train some more I still haven't mastered the jutsu you are teaching me." Said Nari as he made the seals required for kage bunshin. The attempt was futile Nari was not even able to make a puff of smoke. Naruto noticed that his son was now faltering and showing distress that he had not seen before. So he did what every good father would and went to his son and began to help him and encourage him.
"Don't worry Nari, you will get it down real soon. We will stay here til you get it done and to make it even better I will try it everytime you try." Said Naruto with very gentle words, words that could encourage anyone. Nari was beyond pleased with what his father had just said to him. So quickly the both of them began to make the handseal for kage bunshin.
Meanwhile on the other side of Konoha, Sakura sat at table waiting for her family. Sakura had been waiting for a good thirty minutes and thats when she spotted her best friend Ino. Ino quickly rushed over to Sakura's table and sat next to Sakura while giving her a handshake.
"Sakura what are you doing here all alone. Don't tell me again Naruto didn't show up to a family dinner or worse a couple's dinner." Said Ino as she begin to giggle and from the looks of it Sakura was not pleased at all.
"Yes Ino he didn't show up again but this was supposed to be a family dinner. Those two always do this to me, they were most likely coming and something caught their interest and forgot all about me."
"Hehe. Don't worry Sakura its bound to happen and will probably happen again. Remember who you married, you married Naruto, I bet they are both at the ramen stand. Enough of that Sakura, so how is your pregnancy going along.
"Its going good Ino, I have been feeling great now. I hope that it will be a girl but I will be happy with whatever kame blesses us with. Naruto would be great with a little girl he would be so protective of her."
"I'm sure of it Sakura," said Ino as she giggled with her friend. Sakura and Ino continued to eat together for some good hours but all that change when a chunin came in rushing towards them. The poor chunin was beyond flabergasted Sakura and Ino could barely understand what he was trying to say to them.
"Sakura-sama some of the rooms your compound have been destroyed. Its seems Uzumaki-sama and Nari-san were training and got abit out of hand."
The chunin did not get say anymore for Sakura was long gone all that was left behind was Ino and money on the table. Sakura had now reached the entrance to her families compund and she was not happy with what she saw to say the least. Sakura was bit tired but she did get there fast well for a pregnant woman.
"UZUMAKI NARUTO!"
"UZUMAKI NARI!"
Sakura quickly became irate when no one answered and when no one came to her. So she continued to walk into the compound only to see something that melted her heart. There before her were her two knuckleheads all bruised up and aching. Her anger quickly subsided as she saw Naruto trying to put a bandage on Nari. Nari was not being any help to his father as he kept moving like a tornado.
"Aww how cute you two are," said Sakura as she walked closer to her family. Naruto got up to hug Sakura and thats when he saw two figures approaching his family. Naruto was shocked beyond believe when he saw who it was.
"SASUKE!"
"DAMNED FOX!"
Whirlpool:
"I'LL SAVE YOU SAKURA AND NARI I WONT LET ANYONE HURT YOU." Screamed Naruto as he startled the three people that hext to his bed. Naruto's eyes slowly opened ushering in light that he had not seen for the longest of times. As his eyes adjusted to seeing light he could make glimpses of the three figures that were next to him. Once his eyes were fully adjusted he clearly saw the people before him but did not recognize any of them. Kushina launched herself towards Naruto and gave him a very warm hug, a hug that he found very comforting even though he was startled.
"Naruto my son! You are awake you have come back to us," said a crying Kushina. Naruto did not know what to do, how to react to what he had just heard the woman say to him. Who was this woman hugging him so tightly and why was she showing so much affection towards him. But then suddenly came back to him the events of the past and remembering all the events caused him a great deal of pain.
"Excuse me. But may I ask who you are and what am I doing here this does not look a like a Konoha hospital." Said Naruto in a manner that was almost as if he was pleading to Kushina. Kushina was taken back at hearing her son ask who she was. Kushina was about to answer Naruto but thats when Hikaku decided to make his precense known
"This is Whirlpool your home country, it was been alongtime brother. Don't you feel the warmth of being back home with your family." Said Hikaku with great resolve but all he really caused was for Naruto to become even more confused then he already was. The words these strange people were saying to Naruto were not making any sense at all and was becoming extremely tense.
"What do you mean family and home country. I'm from Konoha and I already have a family Sakura and my son Nari." The words that came out of Naruto's mouth had a resounding deep echo in the ears of his family around him. Kushina put a hand on Naruto's heart and gave a him a look that said she was asking for forgiveness.
"Naruto I'm sorry we did not know you had a wife or child but do not worry we are not going to take you away from them. We had to protect you we were afraid of what Konoha might do to you my son. Here in Whirlpool you can regain your strength and we will be here to help you in anyway possible."
"I thank you for offering to help me but who would want to help me. I'm the carrier of a demon that everyone hates. And if may ask why do you guys keep saying this my country and that I'm your son. How are we connected, who am I to you, who are you."
"Naruto we're your family that has been waiting to see you for the longest of days. That young one over there is you brother Ada. The one over here is your brother Hikaku. And as for me I'm your mother Uzumaki Kushina. Please forgive me my son for not being there for you when you needed me the most but now I'm here for anything you need me for."
"My family but what could she mean I thought I didn't have a family. But why now, why do they show up after all these years, what caused them to come to me." Naruto was trying to soak in everything that had just been said to him and the hold that Kushina had on him for some reason was easing his tension. For some reason or another Naruto felt everything Kushina had said to him was the truth.
"Everything in my being tells me to believe you and I will do so. So would you be willing to help me find my family. I know its much to ask of you but I have to find them before anything." Asked Naruto of his newfound family with fire that Kushina had not seen since the late fourth hokage.
"Of course my son," said a teary Kushina.
"Ok brother," said a stoic Hikaku.
"I will help you aswell brother but I will also ask you to help me after we reunite you with your woman and child." Said Ada in very soft spoken words.
"Yes, I will help you Ada. What would you like help with," asked a very curious Naruto.
"Would you help me kill the man known as Orochimaru." That was all Ada was able to say before he was interrupted by Naruto.
"I will help you, that man deserves to die," said an almost screaming Naruto. After those words were spoken there was a long moment of silence. The for people in the room were looking at each other as if trying to figure out more about one another. Thats when Naruto began to get up from his chair and looked directly at Kushina."
"Mother where is my father," asked Naruto of Kushina. Hearing those words made Kushina gasp for air she had not expected Naruto to ask her this question. Naruto saw that she tensed up when he asked her that question and wondered to himself if he should ask again about his father.
Amegakure:
Two bodies came flying through the air and when they hit the wall of a building there was resounding thud. A mass of Amegakure ninja were quickly gathering around the two they had just sent flying into the wall. The two were completely battered and yet the ninjas gathering around them showed no signs of battle.
"Neji are you ok."
"Lee just get up and prepare yourself, we have let them have their way with us for long enough."
Rock Lee and Neji got themselves to their feet and with angered looks they looked at the ninjas before them. They both got into fighting poses and the ninjas did aswell. Thats when the field commander of the ninja got infront of them and pointed at Rock Lee and Neji.
"You two come here and tell us that our leader has been killed in your home village. Not only do you expect us to believe this but expect us to believe that is was a rogue ninja from your own village that did it. Do you take the people from Amegakure as fools."
"We already told you it was Orochimaru and thats the truth," screamed Neji.
"Haha. Konoha was always been like this they always cause problems and expect others to live with the problems they have caused. So tell me Konoha ninja where is the other great ninja from Amegakure he went by the name of Ketsuraku."
Both Lee and Neji were at a loss for words they did not know how to answer the commader. The commander quickly became impatient and began to walk towards Rock Lee and Neji. Rock Lee quickly reached for his feet and pressed down on his boots releasing a massive wave of chakra. On the ground were some weights that used the users own chakra to weigh him down. Rock Lee now looked at Neji and smiled and sunshined out of the sight of the ninjas before them.
"I already told you before we don't need to fight but we will defend ourselves if you continue to attack. And for the last time Konoha had nothing to do with the death of your leader." Screamed Neji informing the commander that he was beyond serious now. And thats when without warning Rock Lee appeared behind the commander with a kunai in hand.
"Now I know we all have our flames of youth really bright at the moment but we will have to let them die down some. We will talk and try to fix our problems one way or another." Said Rock Lee with a big grin across his face.
Konoha:
Aburame Shino found himself looking at the beutiful naked body of Konan. She was out cold in his bed and Shino on the other hand was writing down on a piece of paper. Everytime Shino wrote down a word he would turn to look at Konan almost as if he was guilty for what he was doing. As somemore time passed Shino finished writing the letter he had been writing and walked out of the room.
Shino was now walking down the streets of Konoha and was making his way towards the hokage tower. As he continued walk he caught glimpse of someone familiar. There infront of him was the beautiful heir to the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hinata.
"Shino-kun how are you today, it was been awhile since we last saw each other."
"Hinata."
"Whats wrong Shino-kun, why do you look so flustered," asked a worried Hinata.
"Hinata do me a favor will you?"
"Of course Shino-kun."
"Will you take this letter to the hokage for me."
"Ok Shino-kun but why can't you take it."
Shino did not answer Hinata he just simply handed her the letter and turned around away from her. After loosing sight of Hinata, Shino quickly ran to his house he was running like a man possessed. Hinata was worried by the way her teamate was acting but she didn't let it bother her too much and walked to the hokage tower. Hinata was holding the letter next to her chest and thats when a breeze started to hit her causing the letter to fly away from her. Hinata immediately rushed over to pick up the letter that was opened now and when she accidentaly saw what was written she instantly became flustered.
"Dear Kami!"
