Bloodline: Radiance
Authors note: Hello everyone guess what I got for Christmas…a new laptop computer that's what. With this baby I can write my stories anywhere at any time. Hopefully this means that I will update more frequently.
I would like to thank every one that has given me positive support and reading my fics frequently. It may sound shallow, but I like a lot of reviews, it means people are reading my work and actually enjoy it. I still have a long way to go, my grammar is getting better…hopefully.
I've been in the mood for writing this fic. That is why I have updated it so far without doing my other fic's. That doesn't mean I have given up on any of them though.
As I said before the issue with Kurenai is still up for debate. It isn't really a voting thing just give me your input; like reasons why you feel she should or should not be. I will read them and make my decision. My decision will not be made for a while so she will develop as a mother like role until then. However I am leaning towards making her start like a mother but growing deeper feelings simply because it would be so funny to write.
Anyway on with the chapter.
Chapter 9
Naruto stared at the blond girl now in front of him confused. She seemed mesmerized by something. Her face was rather red and she seems to be trying to compose herself. He didn't know what it was but he could sense a good feeling coming from the girl. He gave her a smile and her face grew even redder.
"Well Naruto we have a lot to discuss." said the old man from his chair. "Temari I suggest you listen as well…this is very important."
Temari finally regained herself and turned to the old man, giving him a curious stare.
"Well now where to begin…" said the Hokage trailing off. "Naruto…both the Kazekage and I are on good terms…however that does not mean our villages are."
Naruto regarded the old man trying to see what he was getting at. "Are you saying we are close to war?" asked Naruto.
The old man smiled and shook his head. "No…we aren't even considering that a possibility…this is more of a civilian matter. They aren't exactly too accepting of the sand and it is vice versa as well…"
Naruto began placing things together. So far all he could think of was that the Hokage wanted him to make peace between the villagers of Konoha and the villagers of the Suna. A small frown came to Naruto's lips; there was no way he could convince the villagers to make peace with Suna when he couldn't even convince them to make peace with himself.
"I don't see how I can help you Hokage-sama." said Naruto.
The old man just gave another one of his grandfatherly smiles. "The council and I both feel that an arranged marriage is in order." said the Hokage. "We plan on having both you and Miss Temari wed once you reach sixteen."
Naruto jaw dropped for a moment. "With all do respect old man…but is that really fair?" asked Naruto. "Given my situation to force Temari-san into this could be…dangerous."
Naruto let his words hang there and the Hokage finally dropped his smile into a sad frown. "I am well aware of your situation Naruto…we will deal with that when we come to it." said the old man. "But I would like to direct your attention to something important…it is the reason you are the best candidate for this arrangement."
The Hokage then turned to Temari. "This goes for you to Miss." said the Hokage.
Gaara, Lee, and Kankuro stood back away from the three. Their role there was unimportant and they seemed to have faded into the back round a bit. However this did not mean they were any less curious as to what was going on.
"You see Naruto…you undoubtedly know that you are the last of your clan…because of this it is a requirement that you practice polygamy." said the Hokage.
Naruto raised an eyebrow in question. However Temari seemed to have understood what it meant. Her face grew to a shade of red that was thought unmentionable, a characteristic that was so unlike her.
"I can see you don't understand." said the Hokage. "What it means is…you are to take on multiple wives."
Naruto blinked a couple of times as this was said. "What?"
"The council has been told of a few matters and I believe that this will benefit you." said the Hokage.
"Old man…I'm sorry but I don't think I can do any of this." said Naruto. He seemed to unconsciously grip his stomach as he said this. Something that didn't go unnoticed by those in the room. "Not only does it not seem right but also…"
"I think it would be best with we had this conversation in private." said the Hokage. Temari, Kankuro, Gaara, and Lee all nodded and began to leave.
Before Lee got out the door Naruto grabbed his shoulder. "Wait for me outside okay." said Naruto with a small depressed frown. Lee gave him a reassuring smile and nodded. Naruto then turned to the Hokage.
"Naruto…what is bothering you." said the old man worried. "If it was me…I would be jumping at the idea of taking on multiple partners."
"I'm sorry old man." Said Naruto. "I just…never planned on getting married."
The Hokage gave him a curious look. "Naruto…surly you had some intention on carrying on your clan?"
Naruto shook his head. "My plan was to serve the leaf alone until my dieing breath." said Naruto. He gripped his stomach once again. "I accepted it sometime ago…that because of her…no one could ever be with me."
"Naruto…" said the old man shocked. Had the boy given up all hope of ever being accepted? If so, then why was he serving the leaf so loyally. The Hokage knew of Naruto's good nature from the moment he saw him open his eyes. But even so, he never thought the boy would go so far as giving up his own happiness. It just proved the old man had made many mistakes concerning the boy's life.
"And besides…to force Temari-san to marry someone she doesn't even know…then expect her to allow multiple women to come in." said Naruto. "Seems rather perverted of you old man."
Naruto said this with a small smile trying to lighten the mood. "As I've said before old man, I'm sorry but I do not think I could agree to this…it wouldn't be fair to anyone involved."
The Hokage gave a sigh. "I would never force you to do something you didn't want to Naruto…you do not have to do anything you don't want to." said the old man. "Just please consider it…if only to make yourself a little happier."
Naruto gave the man a thoughtful look behind his shaded glasses. Naruto then turned around and walked out the Hokage's doors.
Once Naruto exited the office he was greeted to the sight of Lee as well as the trio from the sand. He was surprised at the sight of Gaara, finally taking notice to the boy being there.
He recalled their fight and could tell that Gaara didn't seem to know who he was. It made since, considering Naruto's face was never revealed during their fight.
Naruto didn't know if Gaara had changed or anything. And given Naruto's secrecy when it came to his bloodline, he decided it best if Gaara not know who he was.
The blond walked over to the girl from the sand and gave a polite bow. "I'm sorry that you wasted a trip…but I do not think it would be right if you married me. Perhaps it would be better if you found someone else" said Naruto.
Temari seemed taken aback by this. Her face grew red not from embarrassment or attraction…but anger. She soon had her fan off her back, still folded up and smacked Naruto on top of the head with it.
Naruto's eyes were wide as were most of those present. "Who are you to decide what I should or should not do?" said Temari grinding her teeth together. "I decided to do this for the good of my village, and I already decided that I would not do it unless I got to know the person."
Naruto looked at her curiously, and confused. He had not expected her reaction to be so violent. "I've decided that you are a good candidate for my fiancé…so let's get to know each other. ANY OBJECTIONS BUCKO?!!!"
Naruto shook his head frightened. "GOOD!" said Temari. And with that she stormed off, her brothers following her soon after.
Naruto watched her retreating back still in a state of shock. The state he was in grew even more chaotic when the image of the girl bathing in the stream in the desert overlapped Temari's retreating form. An intense blush burst forth on Naruto's face as he stared down embarrassed.
The sand sibs exited the Hokage tower. "Wow that kid got showed what's what real bad didn't he." Said Kankuro with a huge smile; as he was on the verge of cracking up. "I didn't think you were so into the idea of marrying this guy…what changed your mind."
"A warm feeling that occurred here…" said Temari placing her hand over her necklace and heart. "when he showed up."
Gaara's eyes widened at where Temari placed her hand. "Your heart."
"No baka, this thing." said Temari lifting up her feather attached to her necklace. "I don't know what it means but when he entered the room the thing got real warm and started vibrating. I didn't say anything at first because…I was preoccupied."
"You mean distracted by the kids good looks." said Kankuro with a snigger. He was soon floored by Temari's fan.
"Any way I'm curious now…and besides if I have to marry anyone why not him." said Temari with a blush.
Naruto exited the Hokage tower not long after the sand sibs left. By his side was none other then Lee who wore a goofy grin. "So what does this mean…are you engaged?" asked Lee.
"I'm not sure." said Naruto. His head was spinning with all the events that had taken place in the short amount time. Naruto's pace quickened unconsciously; Lee followed in silence.
It didn't take long before they came upon Naruto's neighborhood. It was definitely in the bad part of town. The area screamed slums, and Naruto was one of the few unlucky inhabitants forced to live there. The Hokage had offered to have him moved to a nicer part of Konoha, but Naruto politely declined. Moving would only cause more problems then were necessary.
He was told that his father had left a home meant for there clan, but until he made Jounin and reached the age where he could come in the open about his clan, he wasn't allowed to live in it.
It didn't take long before Naruto and Lee were finally at his home. It was by far the worst apartment in the district. Profanity was graffiti on his door; Demon, Monster, these were just some of the things written on his door.
Cracks littered the sides and walk way. It was a pig stein but it was home for him, and he was glad to be there. As he drew closer he became aware of another presence on the other side of the door. He gave Lee a warning nod and the boy took out a kunai for the ready.
Naruto slowly opened up the door being cautious as not to make a sound. Then at the last moment he flung it open and charged in taking one of the switch blade parts to his First Tusrugi.
He lunged forward but stopped short and blinked. In front of him was a frozen Haku with wide eyes and a freaked out look on her face. Both of them blinked at eachother. "Oh…hi Haku." Said Naruto frozen in place.
At that moment Zabuza appeared and since Lee didn't recognize any of them and only saw the large sword on Zabuza's back he attacked. Zabuza's eyes went wide as he was sent through a wall. Lee landed in front of the hole in a crouched position and gave a victory cry.
"Hyyyyaaaaaaaa!!!" shouted out Lee.
"Lee relax I know these guys." said Naruto. Lee blinked and looked on as Zabuza slowly got up looking pissed.
"Oh…sorry." ssaid Lee.
"WHAT THE HELL!!!???" shouted out Zabuza.
"Sorry Zabuza-san…I wasn't expecting anyone to be in here so when I felt your presence Lee and I took precautions." said Naruto.
"Oh…I guess that's understandable." said Zabuza.
"But uhh…why are you guys here?" asked Naruto. It was Haku who answered.
"Well you see…the Hokage gave us the okay to stay but he never exactly got us a place to live and well me and Zabuza are both broke so…we dropped in…I hope that is okay Tenchi-san."
Naruto blinked again. "Well I guess it is…but I don't exactly have a lot of room."
"Don't worry we will only be here temporarily." said Zabuza. Haku gave Naruto a smile in approval. Naruto nodded to both of them giving them the okay to stay.
"So uhh…you guys want dinner?" asked Naruto going over to his cabinet where he kept all the instant ramen. Before either of the two could answer their stomachs spoke for them. Naruto gave a small laugh at this. And made 52 cups…one for Haku…one for Zabuza…and Naruto and Lee took 25 each.
As they ate Lee had no problems telling a very interested Haku all about Naruto. Naruto of course had no clue this was going on. He was currently talking to Zabuza about sword training.
"I don't really know about training…your actually about on my level and I don't know the style that you use." said Zabuza. "However we can always have practice spars."
Naruto nodded in agreement. He then looked around the apartment and for the first time noticed it was clean. "Uhh Haku-san…did you clean my apartment?"
Haku had the decency to blush. "Well you see I thought that if I was to stay here I might as well make myself useful." said Haku.
"Wow…you didn't have to but thank you." said Naruto.
"Yoshi!!! That was most youthful of you!" shouted Lee. Naruto's eyebrow twitched at his enthusiasm.
"Umm Lee-san do you live here as well?" asked Haku. Lee shook his head.
"I have my own place but Naruto and I often stay at each others houses." said Lee. Haku raised and questioning eyebrow. "That way we can head straight to the training grounds together without having to wait for the other."
Haku nodded in understanding the relationship between the two boys. They were close friends that obviously did a lot together.
"So Haku-san I'm curious are you going to be instated as shinobi?" asked Naruto. Haku shook her head.
"No, technically Zabuza-sama and I are supposed to be dead, so we can't really leave the village."
"Oh, then what will you to do for money?" asked Naruto.
Both Haku and Zabuza looked at each other sending the other a questioning glance. "Well…we haven't exactly thought about that just yet. We may go see the Hokage tomorrow about that." said Zabuza.
And that's how most of the conversation went on for the night. They all spent a lot of time talking. Naruto didn't notice but Haku was scooting closer to him as the night went on. Zabuza did notice and wondered what got into his pupil and 'daughter.'
It didn't take long before they had all decided on the sleeping arrangements for the night. Haku took the bed while everyone else got the floor. It was simple and no one argued. Well Lee sort of did when he asked why they couldn't share the bed with Haku. He was hit over the head by Zabuza for saying that.
Kakashi sat up in his bed sweating and panting heavily. He had had another nightmare of his beloved. He looked over to her picture that he kept next to his bed. His mind couldn't get off what Gai had said to him earlier. He brought a hand through his silver hair and stilled his breath to regain his control.
He still wore his mask but he was currently without a shirt. His one scarred eye was held shut but exposed for all to see. He then opened it and looked over at his old team photo and the boy who's eye he now had.
"Those who break the rules are trash, but those that abandon there comrades are worse then trash." Those words echoed in his head. He then looked over at his new team photo, the one of team 7.
It had been taken not that long ago, and despite his feelings toward the Kyuubi child, he still managed to look happy in it. And he was technically happy, he was proud to have both Sakura and Sasuke on his team. Naruto was the only grievance he could not put behind him. There where just so many things about the boy that filled Kakashi with both anger and pain.
The boy had the appearance similar to that of his old sensei. It was as if the Kyuubi was mocking the memory of a great man by taking his form. "But Naruto isn't the Kyuubi is he…" thought Kakashi remembering all that had been said to him by Gai.
He shook his head trying to clear his thoughts. It was hard on him to think about all of this. It was like a chain of events, thinking of Naruto and the Kyuubi. It caused him to think of Rin and his sensei and what they would do. And thinking about others that were close to him and what they would do caused him to think of Obito and his father. How would they handle the situation?
The images of all those he cared about and how they each met their bloody end assaulted Kakashi's sanity. Was he cursed to forever be scarred by those images? His father drenched in his own blood with a knife jammed in his heart, Obito's body being crushed by a boulder and the boy giving his eye to Kakashi, Rin running towards him only to burst into flames as the Kyuubi sent a fire technique towards her and a platoon of shinobi, and of course his sensei…defeating the monster on top of the Toad Boss's head.
Gambunta disappearing and Kakashi watching his sensei Arashi, drop to the ground lifeless in a sea of blood and fallen bodies of his comrades.
Kakashi clutched his head and leaned against the window next to his bed. "Everyone…what should I do?"
Naruto was staring out at the moon on his balcony. It was a rather odd feature to his apartment. It made no sense that his apartment was such a dump yet had such a convenient and well managed balcony just outside. But Naruto chose not to question the way the world worked and accepted it as one of the few nice things he was allowed to have.
He watched the night sky quietly with a peaceful smile on his face. He closed his eyes and let his mind wonder. It was during this that Haku snuck up on him.
"Umm…Tenshi-san?"
Naruto opened his eyes and turned to her. "Yes Haku…do you need something?" he asked. She walked closer and shook her head.
"Not really…I just saw you out here and wondered if you wanted some company."
"I'm fine…you don't have to stay out here in the cold with me if you don't want to."
"I don't mind." she said giving him a small blush as she looked down. "Um, but there was something I was wondering." Naruto raised and eyebrow signaling that he was listening. "Well you see I was wondering if maybe…you could show me your wings again."
Naruto was taken aback by her request. He then looked around and felt for others present. He could tell no one was watching and no on even lived in the direct buildings that surrounded his…so he had little chance of being seen.
After he determined all of this he nodded. He took off his sunglasses and put them down revealing his beautiful glowing eye. He then proceeded to remove his white night shirt as he did so Haku blushed.
He then doubled over and sent chakra to his back. Not long after his wings burst from his back in all there glory. Haku gazed on in amazement at the sight of them and Naruto smiled.
She walked up to them and grabbed a feather as if fell. She gazed at it and its unique shine in the light. "May I please keep this?" she asked mesmerized by the feather.
"Sure I guess." said Naruto as he drew his wings into his body. He gave a small grunt as they went in with a snap.
"Does it hurt to do that?" she asked.
"Only a little…I have a very high pain tolerance." he said. His remark only seemed to give her a more worried look.
"Well have a good night…Tenshi-kun." she said leaving.
"You to Haku."
Kurenai stood in front of her long time friend. "So you're worried about the Kyuubi-kid." said Anko.
"Don't call him that." said Kurenai defensively. It was early in the morning and she was still tired.
"Yeah yeah whatever." said Anko waving her hand as she chewed on some dango. "Just watch your step around him; a lot of people tend to threaten 'demon-lovers."
"Anko don't say that."
"Listen I personally don't give a damn about the kid. He can be an angel or a demon it doesn't affect me and it's none of my business…beside I got enough grief with out having people hating me for being a demon lover."
"Just don't hold it against him."
"I won't as I said I don't give a damn about the demon just that I prefer not to be seen with the gaki."
Kurenai let out a sigh. Even if her friend had no hostility towards Naruto openly admitting that she would rather ignore him could be just a bad. Personally Kurenai didn't know what it was but she desperately wanted to help Naruto. Or at least find a group in her peers that would be able to help him should he ever need it.
She looked back over to her friend and noticed the purple haired woman brought her hand up to the mark on her neck. She bit her lip and sucked in a breath.
"Does it hurt?" asked the red eyed woman.
"Only a little." said Anko flashing a grin. Kurenai still gave her a worried look. "Listen, don't go butting into everyone's problems you'll only end up worrying others."
"Sorry but you know how I am."
"I know and I'm grateful for all you've done for me. Just be careful okay." Said Anko in a very serious voice. Kurenai nodded but any further discussion was interrupted by a small bird that landed on their table in front of them. On its leg a small note was present. Kurenai took it and read the note.
"It seems we are requested at the Hokage's." said Kurenai. Anko got up with her friend and they took off towards the Hokage tower.
Old man Sarutobi stood in front of the gathered Jounin waiting patiently for their final guest to arrive. And sure enough Kakashi arrived in the room only a little late. Sarutobi had purposely told him the time of the meeting was two hours earlier then it actually was.
Everyone present noticed that Kakashi looked a little more sluggish then usual. No one seemed to know the reason for this but seemed to pass it off as a trick of the light. The old man Hokage gave a cough to signal that the meeting could now begin.
"Well now that we are all here I would like to discuss the up coming Chuunin exams." said the old man. "I was wondering if we have any recommendations for Genin that are not already considered eligible."
The Jounin looked around and sure enough the first to step forward was none other the Famous Green Beast of Konoha, Gai stepped forward. "I Maiota Gai recommend my team of Youthful Independence for this exam."
He flashed everyone in the room a toothy grin that seemed to sparkle. As a response everyone sweat dropped. The Hokage gave a sigh to regain his composure. "Alright who else?" he asked.
"I recommend Team 10." said Asuma.
"I recommend Team 8." said Kurenai. Almost all those present were shocked at the recommendation of the rookies. All except the Hokage, who was now secretly, watched Kakashi out of the corner of his eye.
"Is there anyone else?" asked the old man. His sight never once leaving Kakashi. Who seemed to be deep in thought.
"Hokage-sama." said Kakashi drawing attention to himself. "I would like to recommend my team as well."
People were a little surprised at this. They new that the prodigal Uchiha Sasuke was on the team, but they also new the demon brat was on that team as well. Was it really wise to give the monster a chance to rise through their ranks? That was the question going through some of those gathered.
"Very well then I here by declare this years rookies as candidates for Chuunin and will take the Chuunin exams." said the Hokage. "Now for security detail."
Most of the Jounin left at, that as security detail went to the Anbu present and a few of the special Jounin present.
As the Hokage assigned security detail Anko was only half listening. She was currently in thought about the wondrous meals she would eat when she got home. She was so distracted in her thoughts she didn't even notice everyone was leaving.
The Hokage watched her curiously as she had a goofy grin on her face. She was now the only one in the room with him. He almost chuckled as she began to laugh at whatever she was thinking about.
"Anko-san." said the Hokage giving his patent grandfatherly smile. Anko was brought out of her thoughts at that and looked around. At noticing she had spaced out she rubbed her head and grinned sheepishly. "Well since you are here would you mind helping me with a little matter?"
"Uh sure."sSaid Anko. She had no qualms about helping the old man. He was one of the few in the village she could honestly say she cherished. "What do you need me to do?"
"I need you to deliver this scroll to a resident in the village." Said the Hokage holding out the scroll mentioned.
"May I ask who it is to go to?" asked Anko.
The Hokage nodded. "Uzumaki Naruto." said the Hokage. "The address is right here."
The old man then handed her a small sheet of paper. Anko nodded and left without a word.
Anko walked down the street is silence, her seal was beginning to act up and it was pissing her off. She clutched her neck with a tight grip but held in the pain. It didn't hurt her that much but it was still annoying.
She noticed some of the looks people sent her. She was very used to it by now. She was renowned throughout the village as the apprentice to the traitorous Orochimaru. Funny thing was had he not turned traitor such a title would have given her respect and admiration. It sure was funny how life worked out.
She turned the corner and noticed she was heading towards the slums of the city. She looked again at the sheet of paper in her hand to recheck the address. "I'm sure he doesn't live out here…the old man would never condemn him to a place like this." She thought. When everyone had abandoned her the old man had been there. He had made sure she had received the best of treatment available and made sure she was well taken care off until she was stable enough to get her life in order.
Ever since she heard of the demon brat she had assumed the old man had done the same. She clutched her neck again as the seals pain grew a bit more. She didn't know what it was that was setting it off right now but she wished it would stop. The pain was actually beginning to really hurt.
She walked deeper into the slums growing ever more curious as to the address in her hands. The neighborhood only seemed to become worse and worse as she went on. "The Hokage doesn't really let him live out here does he?" she questioned.
She didn't know why she cared at all it was none of her business, but even so it didn't feel right.
Anko finally reached a building and to her shock it was probably the worst building in the district. She began to ascend the stairs when she was forced to stop. Her seal kicked into over drive and she collapsed. The burning became intense and Anko knew it was no ordinary attack.
Something was definitely wrong. She crippled over in pain and felt hot tears begin to descend down her face. She was actually crying from the burning sensation on her neck. It seemed to have paralyzed her body as she found herself unable to move.
Her vision soon began to fade on her and she gave out one scream in pain before darkness consumed her.
Naruto sat in his home alone sipping some ramen. Lee went off to meet his team early and both Zabuza and Haku went to look for jobs. Naruto himself was not due to meet his team for another few hours or so.
It was a rather nice day outside from what he could gather and he had few distractions. The birds were singing out side, the sun was high and there seemed to be certain calmness in the air.
Yes it certainly was looking to be a nice day.
"AHHHHHH!!!" Naruto heard someone scream not to far away and he immediately stood up and ran to the door. He exited and tried to locate the source of the cry.
He sensed a chakra signature close by…very close by. It was only a floor below him. Naruto rushed down the steps and was soon greeted to the sight of a young woman passed out on the steps. She had short purple hair and was wearing some sort of tan-trench coat.
By her hands were a scroll and a piece of paper. On the scroll he saw his name written. Naruto walked closer when he froze and his eyes went wide.
He saw a flicker of purple chakra on the woman's neck. He lowered his sunglasses and found that he could see the chaotic purple chakra take shape. It seemed almost like a snake was wrapped around her neck and it sprung from a strange mark she had.
Naruto lifted her up in his arms and carried her bridal style to his apartment. He should have taken her to the hospital but anyone he brought in would cause problems. He would have to make sure she was alright then go get the old man.
He opened up his door and placed her on his bed near by. Her breathing was shallow and she was currently rustling around in her sleep. Sweat seemed to pour off her as she was overheating. Naruto went and soaked a washed cloth and placed it on her head.
His eyes never left the snake like purple chakra around her neck. It was so sickening and had an evil feel to it. He looked closer at it and was able to see thin lines as if dividing the snake into sections.
Naruto then noticed how wet he felt. He looked down and noticed his shirt was soaked in the woman's sweat. He decided he had better go and change. He walked off to the bathroom and removed his shirt. He then threw it in the bathroom's hamper.
As he was about to walk away the sight of red caught the corner of his eye. He froze and immediately turned to look in the bathroom mirror. His eyes widened at what he saw.
The demonic red chakra that was the Kyuubi's seemed to hover around the seal on his stomach. He knew the demon wasn't channeling it and for that matter neither was he. "What's going on?!!!" he questioned.
The red didn't look as chaotic as it did when he saw the Kyuubi channel it in his mind scape but even so it still held a similar evil. He brought his hand down to it and he felt his special chakra automatically channel to his hand. It surrounded it and soon engulfed the red chakra.
Naruto observed that his chakra picked the red apart before bringing it to a nice shad of orange. Then he saw the chakra disappear into the air.
Naruto was confused. He had no clue as to what just occurred, was it his bloodline.
"Any other aspects to our bloodline you will just have to discover for yourself."
That line that had been in the scroll his father left him repeated itself. Naruto had no clue what it was that just happened but he had a feeling that whatever he had just saw around his seal, and whatever he was currently seeing around the woman's neck could only be seen by him.
It was a gut feeling and he could be wrong, but it made sense. He stalked over to the woman and sat beside her. Naruto wondered why it was he could only see these special chakras and he didn't see her normal one…or his own for that matter.
Naruto's mind worked a mile a minute. The chakras were definitely different then normal, but what did that have to do with him being able to see them.
Naruto shook his head, he couldn't figure it out. Perhaps he would ask the Hokage when he went to see him. He got up and was about to leave when he heard the woman gasp in pain.
As she did so Naruto noticed the snake like chakra tighten around her neck. Naruto's eyes widened. What was he supposed to do?
Her condition seemed to only grow worse and he feared what would happen if he left. He thought desperately then looked at his own hand. The hand that had touched the fox's demon chakra.
"It had made it disappear…can it do the same for her?"
Naruto heard her gasp again and made up his mind. He brought his hand down to the purple chakra. He immediately felt his hand start to burn as the chaotic chakra began to shock him. The only thing that kept his hand there in pain was the sight of his special chakra leaking towards the purple and slowly overcoming it.
Naruto felt the woman jerk beneath him and give another gasp. Naruto then tried to will the charkra. To his surprise it worked and he began to over take the purple snake charkra. He watched as one of the segments evaporated.
As that happened he saw the woman open her eyes and sit up fast. Naruto held her still as he could tell she was still in pain.
"Wh-what where am I??!!!" she questioned in a pained gasp. Naruto had his sunglasses off. He looked her straight in the eyes. He saw her calm down and almost seemed hypnotized.
"Shh." said Naruto soothingly. He could see that the chakra was hurting her less now. But it was still present; it appeared it was going into a dormant state. Naruto could still see it though so he decided to get rid of it. He watched his chakra take another segment of the snake. As it evaporated the women gave a small hiss. Naruto just looked her in the eyes reassuringly.
"Wha-what are you doing?" she asked. Her voice cracked and she actually seemed scared.
"Relax…you'll be okay." Naruto destroyed another section of the snake. She gave another hiss but this one seemed more relaxed and less painful. Naruto didn't know what instinct it was but he held on to her tight. "Relax you'll be fine." He said in the calmest sincerest voice he could. He saw tears come to the ladies eyes; he didn't know what caused them. Perhaps it was the pain she could still be feeling.
He noticed that as he destroyed the segments of the snake the mark on her neck grew fainter and fainter. He finally destroyed the last segment and as he did so. The seal cracked and seamed to peel off her skin.
It floated in the air some two inches off her neck before it went up in purple flames.
The lady with purple hair was breathing in at an even pace. Tears were still in her eyes and she looked confused and even a little scared.
"The pain…it's gone…completely." she said with wide eyes in surprise. Her eyes began to close but Naruto knew she was only passing out from exhaustion. "Who are you?" she asked before darkness claimed her.
"Uzumaki Naruto."
Authors note: well there you go. Not a bad ending. Yes the seal is completely gone. HOW you might ask. Listen Naruto's bloodline I'm just going to define as holy. It is like his chakra and body are more divine and he basically performs what we call miracles.
Also how do you like my handling on how Naruto feels towards multiple partners. Personally I thought it was well done because like how many harem fics are out there where they use polygamy as the reason and Naruto just accepts it right away. I think what I did is good for character development.
And once again allow me to explain how I am handling Kakashi. He is basicly going through what I call mental hell. He is searching his dark past for the answers to his question and the solutions to what he should do.
I'm not doing this because I don't like him. I'm doing it because I want to justify the way he treats Naruto, and that he is trying to find the true answer. I also kind of want you to feel sorry for him You know like understand the villain type thing, not that Kakashi is a villain. But you all know what I mean right. How like in almost any anime there is this huge back story to one villain that shows why they are the way they are and you sort of feel sorry for them.
Anyway enough of my rambeling. Let me know how you liked it. I put a lot of thought into how I set this up and though I am submitting it at this time. I actually stayed up till 1:00 a.m. to write it. I am submitting it at a later time so I can get some sleep and proof read it when I wake up.
Once again Anyways REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are like my crack. And they keep me alive..
