1Hello, I'm sorry I have been gone for a while and I've had hard times for a while and finally decided to write a fanfiction. So now I present you with my new story, I disclaim any familiar character and setting.
AN: This Chapter was written listening to Mandy Moore's "Only Hope"
I present to you the fourth part of:
"Amor caecus est"
Three days of searching, and Ero-Sannin finally was 'found' and 'taken' to the Hokage. Naruto and Neji had been on the receiving end of the Uchiha's glares since their return. But stayed quiet about his suspicions.
Grinning Naruto sat on a bench inside his garden, Sakura giggling at his side. Lee was trying to explain what it is like to be a man. And the most prominent part of his speech was about Spandex, and jumping around the garden waving his hands about. And when the sun began to set Sakura yawned.
"Lee-Kun, we should go." she said between another yawn.
After they left ,when Naruto was alone in the house, and that cold creeping of depression set in he stared at the dark, star cluttered sky. Fall was in the air, he could almost smell the apples on the air. It was October 21 and the cold was slowly coming in, giving Naruto a thing to blame his freezing body on. It was the Weather, right?
Shrugging he pulled out the small red notebook he had been using as, well, a diary. The blond would never admit that to anyone, except maybe Saku-chan or Tsunade-baa-chan, but that was all.
He was never a great writer, but he loved to write, no matter how bad his penmanship and grammar were. This was the sixth notebook he had gone through in the last year. He had burnt the first three, because it had been filled with the crazed rankings about Sasuke. He didn't need someone to find that later in life. So he sat beside the koi pond with his pen ready.
Days passed and Naruto was visited by many people, including Kiba in a rage. But he never stepped foot outside, even when dealing with Kiba, a few well aimed kunai work just fine. Finally when Sakura became sick of him holding up in his house she stormed over.
"Naruto Uzamaki! Get your ass out here!" she banged on the door which was conveniently locked.
"Go away Saku-chan" came a whining voice from inside
"Don't make me break this damned door down!" she growled
"Sakura please move aside." came the voice of Tsunade.
They aren't going to leave you alone, Kit. Kyuubi giggled inside his cage
When the door was slid open and Tsunade came in she did a quick scan of the house. Feeling the gaki's chakura signature in the garden she walked out there, not before locking her pissed student out.
"Naruto-kun, this is very childish." she scolded seeing him laying on his back ,one hand in the koi pond.
"I just don't want to be bothered." he whispered, barely audible. "It's hard to write with people coming over all the time."
"Writing?" Tsunade sat next to her adopted son.
"It started with me writing Jutsu's and then I just started writing." he shrugged.
"About what?" she said gazing at the blue sky.
"Sasuke, Neji and Sakura and Lee, and me"
"Just your thoughts?" and when he nodded she smiled "It's good to write down your thoughts."
"Isn't it just a little girly?" Naruto glanced over at the older woman "Like a Diary?"
"It isn't girly Naru-kun, it's healthy." she snapped bopping him on the head.
Grinning and rubbing his head he stood. "Okay Tsunade-baa-chan."
"Now, gaki, to the Hokage tower." she stated a bit dramatically, grabbing Naruto's hand.
The walk was quiet, as they made their way to the large tower. People stared and glared,
but no one said a single word. Maybe it was the fear of their beloved hokage, or the fear of
Naruto himself. But not matter what the reason the streets were eerily quiet. As the ascended the stairs of the tower, Naruto could still feel the stares on his back.
"Tsunade-baa-chan? Why are we being stared at?" Naruto said uncomfortably.
"You'll see gaki, it's a surprise." she smiled sweetly.
"Okay, but I hate surprises." He stated.
The doors of the tower were open as usual, and soon they stood in her office. But what Naruto noticed automatically was that the council was there, squished into the tiny little office.
"What are they doing here?" he asked quiet enough so only Tsunade could hear.
"You'll see." she grinned and sat behind her desk. "As Hokage I as entitled to inform you of my replacement, if I were to die protecting this village or from a natural cause." she started
The council men were watching her with bated breath, even the librarian had stopped writing in mid sentence.
"The only person I find well suited for the job is, Uzumaki Naruto." she smiled kindly at the blond.
"This is an outrage!" yelled one man "We cannot have this demon protecting our village!"
"Uchiha Sasuke is a better choice!" Yelled another
"The Uchiha?" The Hokage giggled "The one who betrayed us. For the man who killed the third? You would rather have a traitor, then Naruto who has always protected this village. No matter how horrible you treated him?"
The silence followed.
