Chapter 11-Blast From The Past: Mystery Man Revealed!
Naruto is still waiting for a response from this stranger.
The man abruptly starts to speak. "Naruto, you make me very proud. I am so happy to see you took after your father."
Naruto looks at him and just doesn't say anything.
The man continues, "Look at--"
Naruto finally speaks, "Did you know my father?"
The man laughs, "You were never told?"
"Told what?" Naruto inquires, raising an eyebrow.
Another chuckle arose from the cloaked man. "Sit down. It seems we have a lot to discuss."
Naruto sits down, not knowing what to think.
The man begins after a short pause, "A long time ago, I was the Hokage of this village. I was made Hokage by the 3rd. He was a very special man."
Naruto attempts to interrupt, but the man holds out his hand out to stop him. "Wait. Let me tell you my story and then you can ask questions."
Naruto sighs and sits on his hands, frustrated because he has a question.
The man continues. "Your mother and I were very much in love. When the 9 tailed fox attacked the village, she had just given birth to you and was very ill. She was dying. Since I was the Hokage at the time, I led the army into battle against the beast. As we fought, I realized we could not defeat this creature and so I decided to use a forbidden jutsu to save the village. I had only taught it to two other people. That was the 3rd and my wife. I started the seals and began to seal the creature, but had not realized that your mother also combined what little power she had left and sacrificed her body and soul to seal the beast within you so that I could live. She then bonded the 9 tails chakra to you so you would never be defenseless. She risked everything for our village and for you, son. I am sorry that I could not remain to raise you. But when everything was done, I left you with the 3rd to be raised so you could have the opportunity to become Hokage under his great teachings and I went to search for an organization that was claiming the lives of jinchuuriki (sp?) like yourself. You had now been marked and would eventually be hunted so I wanted to protect you. I left the village and promised to only return when I made it safe for you and the village."
Naruto no longer has a question for the man. He just sits quietly. No words could or would escape his lips.
The man breaks the silence by asking, "Didn't you have a question for me?"
Naruto finally speaks after a while of just staring into the sky and not talking. "Is Hinata having a baby?"
The man laughs so hard he almost loses his balance. "Oh my, you are just like me.
Son, you must ask Hinata. There are a few more things I need to explain to you first, though. I am the leader of the people who are hunting for you. They are not aware of what I look like or who I am. I've kept them away because I am the most powerful member and was able to take over easily from Orochimaru.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hinata is now pacing in the room, not sure what to do because she needs to tell Naruto about their baby but is scared because the wedding is soon.
In addition, no one must find out until after the wedding…especially her father.
She then starts to think about her father's reaction to her marrying Naruto.
Flashback"Father, please! I've loved him since I first met him. He is my soul mate."
Hiashi looks at his daughter and then yells. "I will rip your soul out if that is who it connects itself to. I will stop this from happening!"
Just then, Jiraiya walks in and looks at Hinata. "Master Hiashi, you know who Naruto is. It is the destiny of the 2 most powerful families to combine. Let her do this. It is gonna happen no matter what."
Hiashi's head suddenly drops into his hands and in a slow, quiet voice, he replies, "Forgive me, Hinata, I always knew, but I am not prepared to let you go. Make your plans with my blessings. I will meet you and Naruto tonight!"
End FlashbackHinata is now all red and flushed. I never did ask father about his statement of the strongest families. I don't know anything about Naruto's and …
My baby's family.
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB.
Deidara is now sitting with Sasori, sipping tea. "This tea is very tasty."
Sasori then responds with a half open eye, "Yeah, well I was killing time to make sure I didn't have to spend it with the brat. Anyway, have you heard from the boss? All assignments have been stopped. But, my question is, 'why are we helping these people?' Shouldn't we be attacking Naruto? I just don't understand what is going on."
Just then, Orochimaru comes to. "What is going on here? Why am I binded in chains of chakra...what is this ugly clay doing on me?! How am I in a clay prison?!" His voice began to echo as Orochimaru started to shout the last of his questions.
Sasori slowly sips more tea. "Um, you talk to him. You are the artist."
Deidara responds, "But you are my teacher."
They both give each other half smirks and then Orochimaru screams.
A little while passes and shouts and laughter began to recede from the room.
"Hahahaha, that was so funny!" Laughed Deidara. "That was better than Tobi painting Itachi's toe nails sparkly red while he slept."
Orochimaru is now realizing that he can't even move or he will be shocked and have all his chakra absorbed.
"This is so fun. Hope we get to keep our pet forever…"
"Whose turn is it to feed him?" A voice asked from the doorway.
Both men turn to see who else is there and to their surprise it was ………….
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Naruto and the man are still in deep conversation when Naruto looks up at him and yells, "Are you my father?!"
The man is now on his knees laughing and Naruto is growing angrier by the second. "This is not fair!" cried Naruto. "Just tell me! Is that why we look alike?!"
Just then, the man becomes uneasy. "There is movement in the village. We finish talking later. My grandchild must be saved."
Naruto starts to run towards the house.
Inside, Hinata is sitting on the bed wrapped in a soft white and pink kimono-like robe.
Her eyes are red from what looked to be crying.
Naruto extends his hands to her and she grabs his hands. He pulls her in for a hug when he realizes something has changed.
The man is sitting in the dining room, waiting for the couple to emerge.
Hinata looks at Naruto and begins to speak. "I am so sorry I didn't tell you sooner."
Naruto hugs her very tightly. "Hinata it's ok. I already know. You are the target Orochimaru is after. It is you and our child. I promise I will protect you."
Hinata is relieved that Naruto is not angry.
