Chapter 3

Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, Itachi wouldn't have died, Sasuke would be dead, and every boy (Except for Jiraiya-sama, Sarutobi-san, Kisame-san, Sasuke-baka, and every other guy over 40) would be topless for twenty chapters… then most of the Akatsuki wouldn't have died (Except for Madara…and Sasuke… bastards…)
If I owned Bleach, I wouldn't of made Ichigo-kun win in his fight against Byakuya-sama, Byakuya-sama saved Rukia-san, Ulquiorra-sama wouldn't die (*Sob* Whhhhhhhhhhhy?) and Byakuya-sama would rule over all. And Gin-kun would marry Rangiku-san; Ichigo-kun would marry Rukia, Byakuya-sama would marry me (I'm obsessed with him, as you can see), and they would all go off skipping in the sunset, while in the background Ulquiorra-sama comes back to life and annihilates every character I hate. In every anime. That includes Sasuke. And Madara. And Pride and Wrath and… the list could go on. And all of the boys (excluding those that look over 50) would be topless for many chapters… Byakuya-sama and Ulquiorra-sama would be topless for fifty chapters…

This goes for all chapters…

Minato is normally patient. He never loses his temper when someone is late. He doesn't care if his third seat is late coming to destroy a hollow; he would have annihilated it by then anyway. But when the person late is his son and he is three hours late, then he will become very, very angry. Plus, his dinner was getting cold.

Minato glared at the bowl opposite to him on the table. "Where is he?" he growled. The Yondaime stood up and stomped towards the Kuchiki mansion. Instead of knocking politely like Byakuya would have preferred, he kicked the door open and barged right in.

"BYAKUYA!" he roared. Byakuya blinked in surprise. He turned around and narrowed his eyes. "What is it?"

Minato breathed in and out, and placed his hands on his hips. "Where the hell is my son?"

Byakuya sighed. "I was just going to ask you where my sister is."

Minato frowned. Naruto and Rukia lost at the same time? Looks like they went off on an adventure somewhere. But where?

"So they both went off somewhere together… to the world of the living?"

Byakuya shook his head. "Rukia wouldn't go there."

Minato imagined him being in Naruto's shoes. "If I were Naruto," he muttered, "I would like to go somewhere I can see… I can see… I can see my friends…so I would go to…"

Byakuya and Minato blinked in surprise. "THE SHINOBI WORLD!" Minato yelled. Byakuya frowned. Rukia knew she can't go there without permission.

Byakuya ran out of the door (XD I can totally imagine Bya-chan doing that… Oh great it sounds like My Immortal. Character being waaaaaaay too ooc. Who knows, I might even start ritin lik tis cus im goffik gedit) with Minato following behind him.

"Do you think Rukia would actually go there? She could go missing there," Minato asked. Byakuya nodded.

"She's done it before without my permission. Back then, I went and got her before she passed out. Now, I don't know how long she's been there for, and if they have been there for too long, they would die."

"Are you worried about them, Byakuya?" Minato raised an eyebrow.

"…" Byakuya turned to Minato and glared daggers at him. "So what if I am?"

Minato smirked. He, Minato Namikaze, has seen Byakuya Kuchiki worried. The Byakuya. Minato is a very lucky shinigami.

Rukia was leaning against a house in the village of Konoha. She could feel the spiritual pressure crushing her down. She could practically feel the killer intent that filled the air.

"Naru…to…" she panted, crouching down. "…Kai…en…"

Rukia noticed a shadow looming above her. She looked up and blinked a few times. "Who…?"

She couldn't see properly because she was looking at the bright sun, but she could just see a white coat, scarf and long black hair flowing in the wind. "Nii-sama…"

Then Rukia collapsed.

"Well I'm tired!" Naruto said happily, stretching his arms out behind him. Even though he said he was tired, he looked like he had enough energy in him to run around the whole village on his hands a thousand times. He was that energetic.

"What should I do now? Should I go back to Rukia? Nah, I just got here. I should go see Ichiraku ra…" Naruto stopped walking. In front of him stood a very familiar captain. "…men."

It was Byakuya Kuchiki. Just Naruto's luck. Byakuya just had to be there when he was about to visit Ichiraku.

Byakuya lifted up two fingers. Naruto gulped. Was he going to be shot with some pale lighting? Naruto flinched when the two fingers reached to his collar, and then…

Byakuya dragged him from behind while he walked.

"H-hey! Let go of me!" Naruto yelped, struggling against Byakuya's hold. Byakuya kept on walking. "Bastard!"

Byakuya whacked the back of Naruto's neck. The blonde passed out, falling onto Byakuya's arms. "Uzumaki Naruto," Byakuya said calmly, staring at the boy in his arms. "You're a complete idiot."

"A D-ranked mission, what a waste of time! We shouldn't be doing missions; we should be finding information on Naruto's murderer!" Sakura whinged, crossing her arms. She reminded Sasuke a bit of Naruto. Complaining all the time. But it was that complaining that led them to saving the Mist, so he wasn't complaining. And he did agree with Sakura. Naruto's killer won't go without a punishment. "I agree with Sakura. I want to kill those bastards," Sasuke growled.

"Lady Tsunade," Sakura said, staring into Tsunade's eyes, "there is no way we can continue missions when we're still mourning over Naruto. I know I sound stubborn now, but Naruto made team 7 what it is today."

Tsunade sighed. "Sakura…we're all still recovering over our loss. But please, we need funds for our village. And speaking of funds, where is your sensei?"

Sasuke glanced over his shoulder. Kakashi was just there before, where is he now? "Yo!"

"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO?" Sakura screeched, pointing accusingly at the silver hair jonin. Kakashi shrugged. "I was met by the ghost of Naruto."

Sasuke glared at Kakashi. Even he wouldn't make a joke about that. "You're using Naruto as an excuse? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Sasuke screamed at Kakashi. Sakura was horrified, and Tsunade was glaring at Kakashi too. Said person frowned. At least, you thought he was frowning. It's impossible to tell when you couldn't see his face.

"Ah… yes… forgive me, Sasuke. I should take more attention to my words. I miss Naruto as much as you guys do. Sorry," Kakashi scratched the back of his head.

"Just make sure that it doesn't happen again," Sasuke growled, glaring at the floor.

I wasn't lying… I'm sure I saw Naruto... but when Obito died I started seeing him everywhere... sometimes he would wave to me, like he knew I was there. Maybe I'm just imagining things. That happens sometimes… Kakashi thought, gazing outside.

"Kakashi, do you have the report?"

Kakashi gave the paper to Tsunade. Her eyes scanned the writing. "You handled the mission well. Thanks," Tsunade said. "Team seven is done for the day. Dismissed!"

Sasuke and Sakura walked out of the mansion, talking as they went.

"So are you going to visit Naruto tonight, Sasuke?"

Sasuke nodded. "Ino just got some new flowers, do you want to come with me and get some?" Sakura asked.

"Are there any orange flowers there?"

Sakura patted Sasuke on the back of his blue shirt. "Of course there is! What kind of flower shop doesn't have orange flowers (The one down my street, actually…)?"

Sasuke gave a small smile. His eyes were filled with sadness. "Huh? What's wrong, Sasuke?"

Sasuke stared up at the clouds. "I'm just thinking of someone else who loved orange…"

Tears brimmed up in his eyes. How many times has Naruto saved him? How many times has Sasuke saved Naruto? And Sasuke was willing to let all of that slip away from him, just so he could get Orochimaru's power. He was such an idiot.

"Well, should we get going?" Sakura asked, smiling at her comrade. Sasuke smiled back at her.

"Let's go, Naru- Sakura."

Kakashi stared down at Naruto's grave. Naruto was, surprisingly, given a stone with the Hokages. Tsunade said that he dreamed to be a Hokage, and that dream will live on forever. Kakashi gave one of his closed eye smiles. "You were real keen on that, weren't you?" Kakashi chuckled.

"Hey, Kakashi."

Kakashi glanced over his shoulder. "Yo, Jiraiya."

Jiraiya crouched down and leaned back against Naruto's grave stone. All was silent, the two didn't utter a word.

"Kakashi?"

Kakashi replied, "Yeah?"

"Do you think he's still out there, somewhere, training as hard as he used to?"

The jonin giggled. "If he is out there, that's what he would be doing. Do you believe in ghosts, Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya shrugged. "Dunno 'bout them, they've never spoken to me before. Why?"

Kakashi was about to open his mouth to explain how he saw Naruto, but paused. Would Jiraiya believe him when he said it? Well, it would be worth a shot, anyway…

"I think I saw Naruto."

"You WHAT?"

Jiraiya gaped at Kakashi, it looked quite comical. "It was just a few hours earlier. I saw Naruto. I'm sure of it," Kakashi finished. He peeked at Jiraiya from the corner of his eye. "Do you believe me?"

"…"

Kakashi sighed. Of course, he didn't believe him.

"…I believe you."

It was now Kakashi's turn to gape. "You… you do?"

Jiraiya rolled his eyes, "Or course I do, you would joke about something like that."

"I wonder what is wrong with me," Kakashi muttered.

"There's nothing wrong with you, you just have a gift, that's all," Jiraiya replied with a grin. "Anyway, I'll be off now."

"You're going, just like that?"

Jiraiya ruffled Kakashi's hair. "I said my prayers, have you?"

Kakashi gave one of his one eye closed smiles to Naruto's gravestone. "Yeah. I might go home too."

Kakashi walked off with Jiraiya, listening to the old man bragging about how his book is the best in the world. I wonder if Obito can hear me right now. He thought. If you can, Obito…

"Thank you."

Ahhhhhhhh! That's the end of the fic, guys! Thank you for being with me all this time! It has been a pleasure!
(Other self: I'm sure she is joking)
No I'm not! It ends here.
Don't listen to her.
Fine, I'm just joking.
