Chapter 17
Not Another One…
Jord sat in his old Uchiha home, little did he know,
Sasuke walked in.
"Hello, Brother…", Sasuke said.
"Hi…",
Jord said unconsciously.
"Are you coming to the funeral?",
Sasuke asked as if he were a little child again.
"No, Sasuke,
I'd be loathed for what I did.
"But it wasn't only you."
"It
wouldn't matter", Jord replied coldly.
"Okay. Well, I am, so see you around.", Sasuke replied.
After Sasuke left, Jord laid on his old bed. He glanced around, all was the same as he left it. He chuckled. He closed his eyes, and left them shut for a while then reopened them, a tear sparkled in them.
A
few miles away from the village…
"WHAT!!!! I WAS LEFT ALONE,
NOOOOOOO!!! I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE….GAAA…."
When HIM
had entered the village screaming, Chronos ran to him.
"What's
wrong?"
"YOU LEFT ME ALONE THAT'S WHAT'S WRON…OKAY I'M OVER IT!!!!", HIM replied.
Jord was walking slowly out of the clan area.
"HEY IT'S YOU!!!!", HIM said in a fast playful voice as he hopped up and down. Jord walked by and tripped HIM, making him fall flat on the dirt, it began to rain.
Jord
walked into the large group of people, and realized, this funeral
wasn't only for Kakashi. It was for, the Hokage, and all those who
died in the attack on the village when Orochimaru had come. Jord held
back so many tears. Jord left, to put on his black ninja robes, and
walked back into the group, but, he wasn't ignored, loathed or
hated, but for some reason, praised. He was pushed forward to the
front. Jord was of course confused, but he followed up by putting a
flower slowly onto the tomb. It was a yellow flower, so it stood out,
but that's what he wanted, and he walked back into the
group.
"Iruka.", Jord whispered.
"Yes?" Iruka
replied.
"Where's MinMin?", Jord asked staring at the
sky.
"She never returned to the village."
"What…? It's
my fault…",Jord replied sounding as if he was going to cry..
"No
it wasn't, Kakashi went out of hand and-"
"Not that…It's
my fault, she saw death.", Jord corrected.
"She's seen it
before, her team was killed too.
"Too?
Who else's team was killed in battle?", Jord was now confused,
maybe Iruka had phrased it wrong.
"Well…Your team was killed
in battle as well.", Iruka said sadly and he looked at Konohamaru,
who was crying.
"I don't remember anything after the assault
on the Uchiha."
"It's because Itachi, in a sense, wiped your
mind, but, we remember. It was another attempt on the 4th
Hokage's life."
"But I was One year old when that had
happened!"
"So you thought, you were actually and 11 year old
Jonin…"
"What?!" Jord shrieked and all of the funeral
group looked at him.
"We'll finish this later. Meet me at
Ichiraku, I'll tell you the rest there."
About
an hour later, the funeral was over and ninja, and non-ninja, filed
out, but as that had happened, Thousands of Kunai came flying threw
the gates of the villages, some with paper bombs, some without.
The
ninja of the Leaf village jumped out of the funeral group. Along with
some not native to the village. There was clanging from above. Jord
was pissed.
"DAMN IT!!!! ELEMENTAL
BURST!!!" Jord
held up his arm, there was an explosion into the air, killing all
ninja in the way, but he made sure most of the ninja from Konoha had
survived.
"Kage
Bunshin No Jutsu, Katon: Gokakyuu No Jutsu!!", Jord
yelled, as clones appeared around the village, setting all enemies on
fire with fire balls.
More kunai flew out of the gate, Iruka was
trying to find the source, he slowly approached the gate, and more
kunai flew through, there was no blind spot, He couldn't escape,
there wasn't even a building to hide behind. As if in slow motion,
he tried to dodge, and was hit by several kunai with paper bombs
attached. They exploded on contact.
Jord
fell to his knees. He looked at the ground. "Not Another One…"
He thought. Maybe h Iruka was still alive, his old tutor and
mentor…dead…The Hokage, leader of the village, dead. It couldn't
be happening, the world began to spin around him, and Jord
fainted.
Hours later, he awoke. He glanced at his bedside, and all
of his friends were around him…even MinMin. They were asleep on the
floor. MinMin woke up.
"You're awake.", MinMin said.
"Yeah",
jord replied staring at his broken arm, and he had a cast around his
upper torso, he tried to bend, but hear his ribs crack, and a surge
of pain went through him.
"I'm glad you're awake, I came as
soon as I heard the news.", MinMin said gently.
"Do you know
anything about my past?"
"What, that's an odd question to
ask, and no, I was born the same year as you."
"Iruka told me
I was an 11 year old Jonin at the Hokage's funeral…", Jord
retold.
"Impossible. No one could've…", MinMin continued
to deny the fact.
"Well,
I did it.", Jord said, "…somehow…"
"Jord, when you get
better, meet me inside Ichiraku. We'll talk then." A few hours
later, his friends awoke, and they chatted, and left when the
superior medical ninja walked in.
"Lay down", The Med-Ninja
commanded.
Jord obliged, and the medical ninja spread his hand on
Jord's ribs, and chakra glowed from his hands, and repaired Jord's
arm.
"You may now leave the Hospital", The medical Ninja said
coldly, and left.
"What
about my arm!! Ahh well, I'll let that heal."
Jord went
straight to the Ichiraku and saw MinMin there, with someone else, it
was another female, with some male on the other side of her.
The
Girl left, and the male stayed, he wore dark ninja cloak, and had two
6foot Katanas connected to his back.
"Hey, MinMin", Jord said
looking at her then at the man at the end of the Ichiraku bar.
"HI
JORD!!!", MinMin said really happy to see him.
"Who's
that?"
"I don't know. He appeared after I did. She glanced
back and he was gone.
"What'd you want to talk about?", Jord
asked.
"Your
crazy rambling in the Hospital. I highly doubt that Iruka-"
"That
Iruka said that? He did...if he weren't dead I'd know
everything.", jord said sighing.
"Well If it was true, you
must've been very skilled.", MinMin complimented.
"Thanks,
but…how is it possible I'm fourteen now, and 11 back then?",
Jord asked her.
"Well, you could be short, and be Twenty-Five!",
MinMin chuckled, Jord on the other hand, did not.
"Well if
that's all, I have someone I need to talk to.", Jord said
standing up.
"No, that's not it…", She blushed, and
shivered.
MinMin stood up and leaned in to kiss the Uchiha, Jord
deepened the kiss by pushing his tongue into her lips and she opened
her mouth, they continued to kiss, and Jord broke away, "I-I Have
to go..", Jord ran off.
