Naruto's Breaking Point
No I don't own Naruto
Chapter One
Naruto looked at the massive front gates of Konoha. He hadn't seen this sight in half a decade. He wished he didn't have to see it again. The only thing the sight did for him was bring back painful memories. He looked at the other members of the Akatsuki all wearing their black cloaks with red clouds, and their straw hats. He was the only one dressed a bit differently and that was because he didn't have those red clouds on his cloak.
They were now at the front gates greeted by Tsunade and four Jounin acting as her guard. The Jounin consisted of Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, and Might Gai.
"Well, Lady Tsunade, it's nice to be greeted so well," Pein said.
"Yes, well, I thought it best to meet you at the front gate so there were no misunderstandings."
"Pein, I will meet you and the rest in the council chambers in fifteen minutes." Naruto hesitated for a moment before continuing. "There are some things I need to take care of."
"Of course, just remember to be there in fifteen minutes. With your permission of course, Lady Tsunade. I assure you he won't cause any trouble inside the village," Pein contritely asked.
"Very well, I will allow him to tour the village," Tsunade replied. Tsunade had ANBU watching from the roof tops. They would shadow the Akatsuki member where ever he went.
Naruto disappeared in a flash of red light to go take care of his business. The sight shocked everyone except the other Akatsuki members. Two ANBU squads were leaping in all directions trying to find the Akatsuki member.
"Well, lead on, Lady Tsunade," Pein said, breaking the silence.
They all left for her office to discuss a few items of interest before calling the council meeting.
With Naruto
Naruto arrived at the academy. There were so few people that were ever nice to him. He hoped Iruka still worked as a teacher here. Naruto walked through the academy halls. Teachers were ducking into rooms as he walked the halls. They had all heard of an Akatsuki member who just wore a plain black robe. Naruto was rather amused by their actions.
Naruto finally came to the room where Iruka taught his classes. He opened the door slightly to see Iruka was indeed still a schoolteacher. He walked into the room to see everyone turn to see him. Iruka had a kunai at the ready just in case anything happened. He had been told by the hokage not to attack. However, that didn't mean he would let his guard down around them.
"What do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" Iruka asked. His voice was tense because he knew he stood no chance in a flat out fight.
"Don't be so tense, Iruka. I only came here to see you," Naruto replied.
Iruka raised an eyebrow. "Why would you come to see me of all people?"
"Well I guess I don't sound the same as I used to, nor am I as short. However, I used to come to your class in the academy."
Iruka thought about it for a moment. The voice did sound oddly familiar. Then it hit him, and he knew who was standing in front of him.
"Naruto?" Iruka mouthed.
Naruto nodded his head in confirmation.
"It's been some time, hasn't it, Iruka?"
"I never expected you to be a part of the Akatsuki."
Iruka wasn't sure how to act. He was happy Naruto was doing well, but also sad that he had joined that organization.
"And I never thought I'd ever return to this village. Life is full of surprises," Naruto said.
"Class, take an early break while I talk with our guest."
The class complied and quickly filed out of the room. They didn't want to be in the room in case a fight broke out.
"I'm rather short on time, Iruka, so if you want to talk, you will just have to come with me to my next destination."
"Where were you planning on going?" Iruka asked.
"The old man's grave," Naruto said simply as he walked out of the room.
Iruka grabbed a sign and quickly exited the room. He shut the door and put the sign on it. The sign was meant for his assistant. He caught up to Naruto just as he was exiting the academy. Iruka walked beside Naruto as they made their way to the graveyard.
"So, how have you been? Have you been eating right and getting enough sleep?" Iruka asked.
"Always the parent, Iruka. Yes, I've been just fine. The others in the Akatsuki got me off of my ramen-only diet years ago."
"That's good. I told you for years only eating ramen wasn't good enough for you."
Naruto cracked a small smile that Iruka couldn't see. Naruto looked at the rooftops. He saw the ANBU were watching his movements. They didn't speak after the first short conversation until they reached the graveyard.
"Well, old man, it's been five years," Naruto said to Hiruzen's gravestone.
Naruto had a short conversation with the stone. He talked about Madara and a few of the other more current events. Iruka stood and just watched remaining silent. Naruto stopped when he heard someone coming.
"Someone's coming," Naruto stated.
Iruka looked behind him to see who was coming. Hinata Hyuga popped out of the trees. She looked rather irritated.
"Iruka, what are you doing here, and why did you call early break and leave a note on the door for me?" she asked.
"Well... I was talking to..." He turned around to see Naruto had disappeared.
Hinata misinterpreted what was happening and thought he was talking with old man Hiruzen's gravestone.
"Well, take a few minutes. I already have everyone back in class now. I'll head back and give you some time," she said sympathetically.
Hinata shunshined back to the academy to make sure the class wasn't getting out of hand.
"Now, what was all that about?" Naruto asked, reappearing next to the gravestone.
"Hinata wants to be a teacher, so she's my assistant for the time being until she proves she can run her own class. Although, with what has been happening, she will be recalled to active duty. Hinata's even a Jounin now you know." Iruka said the last part with pride as it she was one of his former students, before stating with regret.
"It's a shame Hinata will be recalled to active duty, she really wanted to be a teacher," Iruka suddenly grinned at Naruto and asked. "Hinata's pretty good looking, isn't she? She's also single... at least for now, that is." Iruka had a rather grim look on his face when he said the last part.
Naruto had remained silent and unmoving, not giving away what he was thinking. He didn't understand why Iruka looked and sounded so grim when he said the last part. He decided not to dwell on it any further.
"I'm not here to make friends or find love, Iruka. I'm just here to do a job, nothing more."
"You really have changed, haven't you, Naruto?"
Naruto began to walk off from the cemetery.
"My fifteen minutes are up, Iruka. I'll see you around. Can we talk later? Maybe over some ramen, perhaps?"
"I would like that," Iruka said just before Naruto disappeared.
Naruto appeared at the council chambers. He saw the two ANBU guards at the door. He could feel their discomfort as he walked up to the double doors. He pushed open the double doors to see all the Akatsuki members standing around the room looking somewhat annoyed. Pein was in the center of the room with Itachi, they both had their hats off, as they were the ones speaking.
"You're late," Pein said to Naruto.
"Yeah, yeah, it's not like I'm really needed here anyhow," Naruto replied in an annoyed tone of voice. Naruto just leaned up against the wall next to some of the other members.
Naruto listened to the argument between the civilian council and the shinobi council over the Akatsuki's demands. The Akatsuki weren't demanding much of anything, it was most likely the lack of control the council had over them that was the issue. The contract stated that only the Hokage could order them and no one else. Naruto sighed; Itachi was looking at him as if he wanted him to say something.
Naruto walked over and into the middle of the room. Everyone grew silent when Naruto stood in front of the hokage.
"Tsunade, do you find our demands to be acceptable?"
"Yes, I find them to be acceptable."
"What do the clan heads have to say about it?"
"I think I speak for the rest when I say we find them to be acceptable. We had honestly expected your group to demand more," Hiashi stated.
"Well if you all agree, then it's settled."
"Wait, what do you mean it's settled!" yelled Koharu and Homura.
"The Hokage and the clan heads have agreed. Therefore, there is nothing more to be discussed," Naruto said, trying to stall his anger. Naruto was trying to be polite and not hurt someone as he spoke. Pein didn't want him to kill a council member, as that would cause a lot of problems.
Danzou decided to speak up. "We are the Hokage's advisers. We have a say in the matter when it comes to something as important as this."
"No, you don't. I know what the three of you are like, always scheming and plotting to keep your own power. You three are far past your prime. I'm surprised Hiruzen didn't just retire the three of you and appoint younger advisers," Naruto said in such a way that it made their blood boil.
"How dare you talk to us like that!" Homura yelled.
"How dare I?" Naruto yelled. "You three were most responsible for my shitty life in this damn village! The only reason I didn't kill the three of you in your sleep was because Pein and Itachi asked me not to! I'll be damned if I do or go with anything you three worthless bastards have to say!"
Koharu, Homura, and even Danzou were actually afraid of this man.
"Who are you?" Danzou asked.
"Who am I? Oh, so you haven't figured it out? I'm the one person besides my niisan, Itachi, who has more desire to kill you three than anyone else! I'm surprised you've forgotten about me, considering all the time you three old farts spent making my life a living hell growing up. That really says you three fossils are far too old to be sitting on the Council anymore," Naruto stated as he removed his hat and revealed himself. "It's been some time, hasn't it, baa-chan?"
Tsunade was shocked. Naruto was with the Akatsuki. She just stared at him, not knowing what to say to him. She had sent Shinobi out for the past five years to find him to no avail. Now she knew why they had never found him in all that time. The clan heads along with Tsunade three advisers were stunned as well. The entire room was dead silent until Tsunade spoke again.
"You're finally home, Naruto," Tsunade voice held many different emotions in that small phrase. Among them were sadness and regret because of what happened five years ago.
"I'm not home, baachan. I haven't considered this place home since that day I brought Sasuke back from the valley of the end. I'm here to do a favor for the men standing behind me, nothing more. I'm not here to make friends nor have people apologize to me. The job is all I'm here for."
Naruto was finished talking and listening to the people in the room. He turned around and walked out the double doors.
"But..." Tsunade began to say, but Naruto was already walking out of the room.
Tsunade sighed. She was saddened Naruto had changed so much, but she was actually expecting something like this to happen once she saw him again. However, that didn't mean she was prepared for it.
"Itachi, give this to him, would you?" Tsunade threw Itachi a key.
"What's this?" asked as he caught the key.
"That's the key to the Namikaze estate. The place has been kept up with over the years and it is rightfully his."
Many in the council room just stared at her. Some had long suspected who Naruto's parents were and it was finally confirmed today. Naruto was the last surviving Namikaze and Uzumaki.
"I'll be sure to deliver it to him." They all began to leave the council chambers.
"Wait, Itachi, you said you were having trouble with your eyes earlier. Do you want me to check them out and see what I can do?"
"Yes. I'll be at the hospital in twenty minutes."
The Akatsuki soon left the room. Their business had been settled easily thanks to Naruto's interference. They all walked outside to see Naruto waiting for them to come out. Itachi threw him the key, which Naruto caught.
"What's this?" he asked.
"The key to your parents' home, Tsunade wanted you to have it." Itachi turned to everyone else. "Why don't you guys go look around?"
They all just nodded and broke off into pairs. Naruto was like the little brother of the group, even though he was by no means the weakest, but they still looked out for him.
"You know that saying, everything happens for a reason?"
"Yes, I've heard it a few times," Itachi replied.
"I've had so much crap happen in my life. I just can't see how there is a reason for it all." Naruto tossed him the key. "You guys go check it out. I'm just going to wander for a bit." Naruto put his hat back on and walked off.
With Hinata
Hinata was teaching a class how to throw kunai and shuriken. This was her last class of the day. As she explained how to throw these ninja weapons, half the boys in the class were just drooling over her. The other half were actually paying attention to her. The girls in the class were listening, as they idolized her.
Over the years, Hinata had become one of the best kunoichi that the village had ever produced. She was strong and she was beautiful.
Hinata had gotten rid of her heavy jacket two years ago. Hinata now wore a white long sleeved t-shirt with a yin-yang symbol on the back of it. The shirt itself hugged her body like a glove and showed her womanly figure and curves that were the envy of many women in the village. The t-shirt had an eight inch vertical cut in the center from the collar showing that Hinata wore underneath the shirt a mesh under garment which displayed just a tantalizing glimpse of the ample cleavage the young Hyuga woman possessed. The sleeves of the t-shirt where her wrists were, were a dark purple. Hinata wore dark blue pants that stretched tightly down her long, sleek, yet slender legs down to her ankles. Her sandals were black and the straps stretched up to where her pants ended. She grew her hair out; it was now down to her butt in length.
The men in the village had all tried at one point to get her to go out with them. Although she would always give them the same reply. "I already know who I want to date, and he is not you." She gave that reply to every man who would ask her out.
Hinata's abilities in her family's style were on par with her cousin, Neji, and her father, Hiashi. Her proficiency with water ninjutsu was phenomenal. Even when there was no water to be had, she could still use A-ranked water ninjutsu. That was a feat only the Nidaime and a few others could boast to accomplish. Hinata even apprenticed under Tsunade for three years. With her Byakugan, she was also a fantastic medical ninja, as she could see inside the body as she treated it.
Hinata watched as the students began to try their hand at throwing the weapons. Most of them were pretty good at throwing the weapons. Although, there were always some better than others at it. She did find joy in teaching the young ones how to become shinobi of the village.
One of the girls in the class started to cry because she was only able to hit the target once. Hinata walked over to talk with the girl. The twelve year old had long black hair and dark blue eyes. Hinata knelt down beside the girl and asked her what the problem was.
"What's wrong, Sora?" Hinata asked.
"I just don't get it. Why can't I hit the target like everyone else Neechan?" She said as tears formed in her eyes.
"Not everyone can do things right away. Sometimes it takes more effort to get the result that you're looking for," Hinata said in a comforting tone. "I knew a boy. His name was Naruto. When he was your age, he couldn't really hit the target either, but he never gave up. He tried again and again until he became just as good at it as anyone else. Because of that determination, he beat my cousin Neji in the chuunin exam finals when he was thirteen." Of course, the first part was a small lie but it did what she wanted it to as Sora was cheered up by it.
"Really?" Sora asked.
"Yes, Naruto was quite the determined individual," Hinata said with a smile.
"Where is Naruto now?" Sora asked curiously.
It took everything Hinata had not to shed a tear as the events of five years ago flashed in her mind. "He's no longer in this village," She replied.
"But why?" Sora asked.
"Five years ago Naruto came back from the retrieval mission of Sasuke Uchiha. Some people were not satisfied with how badly beaten Sasuke was so they drove him out of the village. He hasn't been back since then." She smiled at the young girl. "How about once I'm done with today's paper work and I'll help you some more?"
The young girl smiled brightly and hugged Hinata.
"Now that's all for today's lessons. Head back inside. Your teacher is waiting for you all."
As soon as everyone made it inside, Hinata decided to call out the person who had been watching her the entire time the class was taking place.
"Please come out already. I've known you were there since the class started."
Naruto smirked; Hinata had gotten quite sharp over the years. To detect him was not something easily done, and she wasn't even using her Byakugan. Naruto appeared in front of the targets.
"What does the Akatsuki want with me?" Hinata asked.
"Nothing, I was just walking around when I saw you helping that little girl and your class, so I decided to watch, that's all. You were quite right though. Even a prodigy can't succeed if he doesn't put in the effort. This Naruto you spoke of... you seem to admire him a lot."
"I didn't just admire Naruto-kun, Akatsuki-san, I love him." Hinata's voice was filled with regret as she spoke. Naruto was taken aback by what Hinata had said. He wasn't sure what to do. Hinata gave a sad laugh as a tear rolled down her face.
"It's funny; I can say something like this to a complete stranger, but back then, if it was Naruto-kun, I would freeze up because I never had the courage to tell him how I felt. After he left, though, I finally was able to find the strength and courage to admit to everyone that I loved him. Maybe if I saw him once more, I could admit my feelings to him." Hinata looked at the ground and sighed sadly. "Probably not, though. I would just freeze up again even now if I did see him."
Naruto actually felt guilty. That was something he hadn't felt in five years. Naruto decided to pry a little further. "Are you still waiting for this man to return?"
Hinata gave a sad smile as more tears ran down her cheeks. "I am waiting, yes. Although I won't have that luxury much longer..."
"I don't understand? You won't wait any longer?"
"It's not that I won't wait, it's just... my clan, and... excuse me." Hinata finally broke down and began to cry uncontrollably. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, she ran off somewhere into the academy to be alone.
Naruto remembered what Iruka had said. The look on his face, the tone of his voice. Naruto disappeared. He was off to find Iruka. He would know what was going on. Naruto found Iruka in the teachers' lounge sitting with some other teachers. He walked over to the group.
"Iruka we need to talk. The rest of you leave the room."
The other teachers didn't even bother to protest; they just quickly ran out of the room.
"What is it Naruto? You sound so tense."
"Well, I ran into Hinata. She told me some interesting things about how she felt about me. Of course she didn't know who I was. You said something that made me curious. But I decided to not think about it until she said something very similar. You talked as if she was going to be in a relationship soon. And, her talking about not being able to wait any longer and her crying as she said it. It got me thinking that she's being forced into something.
Iruka sighed sadly. "Take a seat, Naruto. I might as well tell you what's happening."
Naruto took a seat at the table Iruka was sitting at.
"Alright, tell me," Naruto demanded.
"Where to begin... I suppose this is as good a place as any." Iruka muttered. "Kiba never liked you much, Naruto."
"The feeling was mutual," Naruto replied.
"Yes, well, he was also always infatuated with Hinata. However she would never give him the time of day. After you left, he figured he had a shot with her. Of course, he got shot down."
Naruto was growing a bit impatient. "Cut to the chase Iruka."
"Last year, Kiba became the leader of his clan. His mother still does the council meetings, but that's only until Kiba is ready to take over in that aspect as well. However, Kiba is the official leader of the Inuzuka clan. He tried courting Hinata again recently but she shot him down again. So Kiba went to Hiashi with a marriage proposal. Hiashi has since accepted the marriage proposal." Iruka stopped as he could feel the killer intent coming off of Naruto.
"This is another reason why I hate this stupid village. They make people do things they would never want to." Naruto voice was filled with rage. Naruto got up and walked out of the room.
"Naruto there is nothing you can do about it..."
Naruto stopped. "Oh but there are a great many things I can do about it," Naruto replied darkly. Naruto left the room, planning on what he should do about the mutt known as Kiba Inuzuka.
With Itachi and Kisame
Itachi had just gotten done with his check up at the hospital. He was thankful Tsunade could repair the damage to his ocular nerves, which were being damaged with each use of the second stage of the Sharingan. Although he would need to go back for a few more treatments before his eyes were a hundred percent. She was also able to do something about the annoying disease he had been plagued with for so long, although he wasn't complete cured of it yet, as Tsunade needed time to make the medicine. In addition, he would have to get regular treatments for his eyes whenever he used them.
As they were leaving the hospital grounds, they saw Naruto waiting for them.
"So, have fun roaming the streets of the village?"
"People were afraid to be near me. It was kind of fun to watch them squirm," he replied. Naruto did not intend to tell any of the Akatsuki members about the events a short while ago.
Shortly after Naruto joined the Akatsuki, the members changed. The group itself acted like one big family now. Well, a rather large, dysfunctional family, considering it's filled with psychopaths. They all treated him like the little brother of the group, as he was indeed the youngest.
"Well, glad to see the walk through the village was amusing to you," Itachi replied. "How about we go check out your parents' former residence?"
"Yeah, let's see what kind of place I get to crash in this time," Kisame stated.
"No destroying the building if you don't like it Kisame," Itachi replied.
"You really are no fun sometimes, Itachi," Kisame muttered.
Itachi just rolled his eyes. The two of them were friends, but sometimes Kisame's antics could be a bit much. The three of them walked around and found that Naruto's parents lived on a rather large estate. The house must have had fourteen bedrooms, considering the size of the house. They wouldn't be completely sure until they went inside and looked.
They looked through the house. The place looked like no one had stepped inside it for eighteen years, as there was a thick layer of dust. Thankfully, there was plastic on the furniture, so it would be easy to clean everything that way. They looked around to see there were actually twelve bedrooms, one large study, and six bathrooms. There was also a hot spring next door in a smaller building and a dojo.
"Wow, I'm impressed! I didn't think your parents were this loaded," Kisame stated. He was honestly impressed. That wasn't something easily done.
"Kisame, would you go round up the others for me?" Itachi asked.
"Yeah, I guess," he muttered and left to go round everyone up.
Naruto and Itachi didn't have to wait long for everyone to start showing up. They all were quite amazed that his parents had such a large house.
"Wow, I never thought your parents would have such an amazing house, Naruto," Konan stated. She was latched on to Yahiko's arm as they walked into the room where Naruto was.
Nagato had died a year back. However, before he did, he managed to bring back Yahiko's soul and put it back within his body. Nagato had known for some time he wasn't going to live much longer. When Madara's control over him was broken, he poured all his time and energy into finding a way to bring Yahiko's soul back. In the end, he was able to. Nagato had known ever since he had those chakra rods embedded into his back, he had effectively shortened his life span greatly. That was one of the reasons he had preserved Yahiko's body. He had given Yahiko two more gifts before he died shortly after bringing him back. The first was the Rinnegan. The second was the Deva Realm abilities he had granted that body in the first place.
Yahiko's body was in perfect shape, it was so perfectly preserved, he could even father children if he so desired. Since Nagato's passing, Yahiko was now the kage of the rain village. However, he was not going to involve his village in this war, only his group. His village had been trampled by war too many times, and he was not going to allow it to be so again. To his group, he was Yahiko, to others; it was Pein, leader of the Akatsuki. Also, in public, he was referred to as Pein. Yahiko didn't use the other five bodies. He had the chakra rods removed and the bodies buried.
Konan was happy and sad at the same time. The love of her life was back, but one of her best friends was gone.
"You know, Konan there are a few rooms with king size beds I'm sure you will want one of those," Naruto said suggestively.
Konan blushed heavily; she knew what Naruto was getting at. Yahiko had a little bit of pink on his cheeks. He was trying not to show how embarrassed he felt by that comment. It's not as if their relationship was a secret to anyone in the group. They just felt a bit embarrassed when they started talking about it like that.
Naruto looked at Hidan. The man was still as foul mouthed, as ever, even after the five years he had known him. The man probably wasn't going to change anytime soon. His sight turned to Kisame, who was walking up the stairs to find a room. The man was a constant. Well constant in the fact he loved to shred stuff with his sword and act like a raging psychopath. Naruto looked at Kakuzu. He wasn't too sure what his obsession with money was about, but he sure had it bad.
Naruto noticed Deidara was busy messing with his clay. That guy really loved to blow things up with his jutsu. Naruto had to admit; a little destruction here and there was interesting, but not to the extent Deidara liked it.
Sasori was making his way up the stairs. Sasori was a perfectionist. He had an odd obsession with being on time as well as everyone else being on time. He loved his puppets, whether it is in combat, or as a hobby.
Naruto saw Itachi wandering into the kitchen. He had to admit, Itachi was a hard guy to read. He hid everything very well. He was one of the most powerful fighters in the Akatsuki. And it wasn't just because of his Sharingan.
Naruto looked around but he didn't see Zetsu. He figured that guy was probably looking at the various plant life on the estate, as he was basically half-plant himself. He also has a split personality, quite literally. It truly made it hard to have a normal conversation, with it becoming awkward when the other half started to butt in.
Naruto would never admit it, but this was probably the closest thing he ever had to a family. The organization was filled with killers and murderers, but he could count on them for anything.
Naruto walked up the stairs. He had yet to visit the master bedroom. He arrived in front of a room with double doors. He opened them to see his parents' room. He saw some pictures on the nightstand. He picked one up; it was of his mother and father. He had found out some years back who his parents were, however he was never able to find out what his mother looked like until now. The two of them looked exceedingly happy in the picture.
He didn't resent or hate his father for what he did, as he knew he had little choice. The villagers were to blame for not following the last wish of his father. Then again, after a while, he couldn't blame them either. Yet he still hated the villagers for how he was treated in the past. The event five years ago flashed in his mind and his grip tightened on the picture till the glass broke.
Naruto sighed; he took off his cloak and long sleeve t-shirt that was underneath it. Many scars were revealed on his back and chest. On his shoulders stretching down midway to his elbows on both arms were what looked like tattoos. The fact was they were far more than that. They were an extremely complex seal that Naruto himself had made. He also had a very complex set of seals on both wrists as well.
Naruto heard someone enter the room. He turned to see Itachi and Yahiko standing there.
"What do you guys need?" Naruto asked as he unstrapped his Ninjato.
"Nothing, actually. We just came to check up on you. Is that a problem?" Itachi asked.
"No, not really," Naruto replied.
"I see you finally completed that time space ninjutsu you were working on," Yahiko stated. He was referring to the seals on his upper arms. "Although I don't know what those ones on your wrists are about."
"Oh these? That's a surprise for later," he replied. "If you're wondering, no, I didn't leave behind any notes on any of these. This jutsu is far too powerful to leave to the next generation. They will go with me when I finally meet my end."
"Better that way, I suppose. Time space ninjutsu should never have been made in the first place. And yours even surpasses the one your father had made."
"In some aspects, it does. In others, it doesn't."
"So were you testing it out while moving around the village earlier today?" Itachi asked.
"Yeah, I still need a lot more practice if I'm actually going to make it combat worthy."
"That hard to control?" Itachi asked.
"Yeah."
"Well I suppose we will let you get some rest. Tsunade wants to see us in a few hours. She says it's important and she wants a few of us there and you're coming with us," Yahiko stated.
"Yay for me," Naruto said sarcastically.
Itachi and Yahiko left the room as so Naruto could get a few hours of rest before they had to go out again. Naruto fell onto the bed and quickly passed out. He was really tired from today's emotional events and those seven and a half bottles of sake he drank. He fell asleep on his bed with a few things on his mind. One of them concern a certain Hyuga girl.
With Hinata
Hinata was grading some papers Iruka had asked her to. She had been spaced out all day since her encounter with the Akatsuki member. She had talked with Iruka about him, and she got the feeling he was keeping something from her. She just sighed, and got back to grading the papers in front of her.
She looked up when she heard the door in front of her open. She saw Sakura Haruno walk in and drop some papers off on her desk. It looked like Sakura wanted to say something, but decided against it when she received a fierce glare from Hinata.
Hinata hadn't spoken to Sakura in five years ever since she hurt Naruto. Every time she saw Sakura, it made her think of Naruto. She never got the chance to tell Naruto how she felt about him because of her. Hinata hated Sakura for that, and would never forgive her. Hinata promised herself if she ever got to see Naruto again, she would tell him how she felt about him. Of course, she didn't realize she already had.
Sakura hung her head low as she exited Hinata's classroom. The glare she had received had not wavered in five years and cut deeper than the sharpest blade. It had been like this since that fateful day when she drove Naruto away. After that event, no one would talk to Sakura except Kiba. However she didn't like him anyways. It took Sakura over three years to get her old friends to talk to her again, but still, even after five long years, Hinata had never forgiven her. Hinata had never even spoken to her once in those five years since she drove Naruto away.

Thank you to all those who leave reviews as I do take the time to read them all and I thoroughly enjoy reading what you the readers have to say. :)
Be sure to check out my other stories Jiraiya's last student The Demon King and The Animal I've Become
Yes I changed the name of the story slightly. I forgot to check out if the name The Breaking Point was in use. Turns out it was and that story was updated on the same day as this one was posted. So I changed the title to the story to what you see now. It's over all the same though.
Also another shout out to Kingkakashi for His help with various scenes in this chapter.
