I don't own Naruto, and that's final.
The Most Important Thing That You Left Behind
Chapter 4 Learning to Play Parent
I really can not believe what I just agreed to, I must be mental indeed. I just agreed to stay at the Hyuuga manor just to be with Seishi. You should have seen Neji's face when I actually said yes. Hinata was pretty shocked too, but her husband was shocked and less than thrilled. Sakura was right about him being weird. I get bad vibes from him. Anyway I'm sitting watching Neji and Hinata spar with Seishi in my arms. Neji is still stronger than Hinata but she can keep up with him. After all, Neji is the prodigy of the Hyuuga clan, like my brother was. Yes I can refer to my brother in my thoughts without going into a homicidal rage.
Sometime after I killed him, I realized that I'm the last Uchiha. I then left to find myself traveling. I felt guilty that I killed my older brother. And so mourned for the brother I had lost not the thing he became. I'm at rest with my brother and my family. I just didn't realize soon enough that I had people who truly cared for me and wanted me home. Naruto was my brother, Kakashi is my older brother/uncle, and Sakura was my sister, I guess I could call her that.
"Seishi-chan likes you," said Tenten, sitting down next to me. "But that's to be expected, since Naruto and Sakura talked about you often while she was pregnant."
"Ah," I said. I never really talked to her, Neji or Lee before for I'm not as close to them as the Rookie 9. And really I wasn't that close to Team 8 or Team 10 either, but I did spend my Academy years with them. "Congratulations, though on marrying Hyuuga and having a baby."
"Thanks," said Tenten. "Just two more months, Ino has three."
"I see," I said. Then I noticed that Kakashi was sitting in one of the trees in the Hyuuga compound watching me. "Kakashi don't spy that's not nice."
"Maa, I guess you still are sharp," said Kakashi, grinning. "Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that Tsunade-sama wants to talk to you, Sasuke." I sighed and handed Seishi to Tenten.
"I'll be back," I told the Hyuuga. I ran off to the Hokage Tower. In the office, Shikamaru and Shino were talking with the Hokage. I should have knocked.
"I'll be with you in a minute Sasuke," said Tsunade, gesturing me to sit down.
"Welcome back Sasuke," said Shikamaru.
"Shikamaru, Shino," I greeted. Shino just nodded his head at me.
"Okay you two go off," said Tsunade. Shikamaru and Shino bowed and left. I guess they have a mission. "Now Sasuke, I just want to say that you are no longer an official ninja but if in the coming years you wish to become a ninja under Konoha again I'll let you. It'll just take some convincing of the old fool of a council."
"Thank you for the offer," I told her. I'm not ready mentally or emotionally to become a ninja of Konoha again.
"And I know that your Sharingan can allow you to go into a Jinchuuriki's mind and talk with the demon," said Tsunade. "I need you to do that with Seishi."
"I don't know Tsunade-sama he still is just a baby," I said. I would feel uncomfortable with that, especially since the last time I talked to Kyuubi he threatened me if I tried to kill Naruto. And I know he does not like me nor do I like him.
"It does not hurt, Naruto told me so," said Tsunade, sternly.
"You want me to talk to the Kyuubi," asked Sasuke, "For what reason?"
"Naruto left a note in his desk," said Tsunade, handing me a piece of paper. It seems they arranged everything. I read it.
'Tsunade-baa-chan,
Tell Sasuke to talk with Kyuubi using his Sharingan. Kyuubi will be waiting to speak with him. I know that Kyuubi does not like Sasuke that much but they need to talk for the future of Seishi.
Uzumaki Naruto, Rokudaime Hokage'
I guess I'll be talking with Kyuubi no Yoko, sometime soon. This is just great.
