A/N: Hey it's me again! Now I'm going to tell you a few things before we get back to the story.
First: Please review! I really want to know what you think and what I could work on. I feel like no one is really reading this but I know differently so please review! Or I'll start spelling everything wrong and do other desperate things to get reviews! I'll even beg (not a pretty sight)!
Second: Thanks for my one review from last chapter! VampireJazzy, I love your reviews. It makes me feel like someone really cares!
Third: I'm going to reveal this right now…my birthday is May 22! So things will be kind of crazy around here. So bare with me.
Well that's all I've got to say.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did this would be how the story goes and it doesn't so yay! Now lets get on with the story!
UU&HH&UU
What felt like two hours had passed. It was actually only a half hour, but when your sitting on a ledge with four four-year olds, one of which is shaking from fear, you'd think it was two hours too. Itachi sat on the ledge comforting a scared and shaking Naruto. "Don't worry Naru-chan. Shii-kun and Dad will be here soon," Itachi soothed. "Until then, your strong aniki will keep you safe."
Naruto started whimpering something about it being really high and falling. Itachi moved Naruto on to his lap and help him there tightly. Naruto's shaking and whimpering was calmed to just mild trimmers and the muffled words of high and fall.
Sasuke, Hinata, and Gaara moved closer with fear written all over their faces. "Itachi, Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, Gaara," they then heard from above. They all moved their heads up to see their father looking over the edge with relief. "Is everyone okay, Itachi-kun?" he asked.
"Yeah! Except, Naru-chan is really scared, Dad," Itachi answered.
"Just hold on! I'll be right there!" The next thing the children knew, their dad was walking backwards over the edge. He repelled down to them with practiced skill.
As soon as he reached the ledge, the three four-year olds grabbed a hold of their daddy. He welcomed the embrace from his children except Itachi who felt like he was too old to hug his father even if he was scared.
"I'll take Naru-chan up first. Followed by Hina-chan. After her, it'll be Gaa-chan. Then, I'll come down for Sasu-chan. Finally, I'll send the harness and rope down for you Itachi-kun." With that said Ryo picked up Naruto. Naruto's arms and legs wrapped around his daddy's neck and waist tightly to ease his own fears.
Slowly, Ryo started walking back up the rock wall with chakra gluing his feet to the rock. As he reached the top, he noted that Shiisin was already there, reaching for Naruto. "Not yet, Shii-kun!" Ryo warned. With those words Naruto cringed from fear of being grabbed and dangling over nothingness. "Can't you feel the fear radiating off of Naru-chan?"
"Sorry, Dad! Yes, I can feel it. I wasn't thinking about how Naru-chan would feel. Sorry!" Shiisin answered with sincerity. With those words Shii let his dad climb the rest of the way up before taking Naruto. "You're safe now, Naru-chan!"
UU&HH&UU
Dad had just left to go back for Hinata when a man in a Konaha fox Anbu masked appeared in front of Shiisin. "Shiisin? Is that you?" asked the man.
"Who wants to know?" replied Shii
The man took off the Anbu mask to reveal messy gray hair and one eye. The other eye was covered with by the slight tilt of his Konaha forehead protector. His mouth and nose were covered by a mask, which blended into the Anbu uniform. Shii didn't know how but somehow he knew this guy. Then it all came flashing back to him. A man with spiky blonde hair and crystal blue eyes with a brunette woman with crystal sea green eyes just like his own, they were laughing, and he was in between them being tickled to death on both sides. Then he was crying in an almost empty room when he was shocked out of his tears by the same guy standing before him. 'What is going on?' Shii wondered.
"Kakashi-san?" Shii muttered. Then the memories got all jumbled up with other memories. The last of these new sets of memories for him was the feeling of hate towards Naru-chan? 'How can I hate him?' he wondered. Then old memories came in and mixed with these new ones, but they didn't fit together. They were in different places, different people, and different events. " OOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-WWWWWWWWW!" he then screamed from the pain of the mixing memories.
UU&HH&UU
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-WWWWWWWWW!" Roy all of a sudden heard Shiisin scream. He was about to head back up with Hinata and Gaara both. "Sasu-chan, come here!" he said with urgency. Sasuke came running as fast as he could on the small ledge. "Listen closely, Sasuke. I'm going to go up with Hina-chan and Gaa-chan. Then I'm going to send this harness down for Itachi-kun and I want you to climb up there with him. You understand?"
"Yes Daddy!" Sasuke replied. He didn't fully understand but he would do as he was told.
"Itachi! You're going to take Sasu-chan up with you. I have a feeling the Shii-kun is in trouble. All right?"
"Sure, Dad! I'll take Sasuke up very carefully. Don't worry about it!" Itachi answered putting a hand on Sasuke's shoulder.
With that Ryo quickly picked up both Hinata and Gaara and started climbing up the rock face again by gluing his feet to it with his chakra. He climbed as fast as he could, knowing the urgency of the situation. Someone unexpected must have shown up.
Ryo reached the top to see a strange man standing over Shii, who was screaming in pain. Naruto looked more scared then when he was on the ledge. He kept saying "What's wrong, Aniki?" and tugging at his arm.
"Naruto! Get away from that man. He's dangerous. You see what he did to Shii-kun!" Ryo said urgently.
Before Naruto could move, Kakashi had out a three-prong kunai and threw it at Ryo.
UU&HH&UU
Back at Konaha, Arashi had just started a meeting with Sandaime, one of the head Council elders, and a few Anbu. He and the other victims of the kidnappings had gone on with life. The Hyuuga clan had a new heir, Hanabi. The Uchiha clan also had a new heir, Kyo. Arashi had even met a young samurai woman, and as they say it was love at first site. He hadn't told her about Shiisin or Naruto yet. He hadn't gotten any major confirmation that the two would ever get their real memories back so why bring up the painful past.
He had just started the meeting when he felt the seal that he had put on a three-prong kunai that he had given his subordinate, Kakashi, when he became a Jounin. He raced out of the room going at full flash; leaving the others in his office in total confusion.
He had to get there in time. He had assigned Kakashi and Jiraiya to keep an eye on the kids in between missions that is. Now the order had finally paid off. He would get to see what his sons were growing into. He only hoped that it would make him proud.
UU&HH&UU
A/N: I hadn't planned on it being this short. I was actually planning on Arashi showing up, but I'm having writer's block right now. My birthday is Monday! Yay! Well enjoy and REVIEW! OR I'LL DRIVE YOU ALL INSANE! laughs evilly!
