On with chapter four

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Eragon

I sighed in despair the next part of the story was going to be the hardest to explain. "The month that I was in the hospital bed I went into a coma". "It wasn't the fact that I couldn't wake up it's that I didn't want to. I spent a long time inside the seal just staring at Kyuubi's cage, thinking about everything that happened in my life, all the good, all the bad. Bad, bad and more bad, my whole life had been nothing more than a bad joke and I couldn't take it anymore. So I reached up and ripped the seal off the cage door". My eyes were fixed on the group in front of me, each one of them had pretty much the same reaction. They were horrified, Sakura was sitting on the floor rocking back and forth hugging herself.

Yugao and Hana had finally joined everyone else in crying. Kurenai took several steps forward reaching her hand out towards me."Naruto you didn't". I smacked her hand away glaring at her. "yes I did I dare you to live one day in my life, with my memories, I promise you, you'd have done the exact same thing. So yeah I ripped the seal off the door hoping it would kill me, but I was wrong it didn't, I experienced the worst pain in my entire life it felt like my entire body was on fire, or like I was being sliced into a million pieces but I survived. When I ripped off the seal it cut my healing ability, so it took a lot longer for my wounds to heal and some of them didn't completely".

I reached down and lifted up my pants leg revealing the brace on my right leg. "I'm not a ninja anymore because I can't fight or run, I can walk normally but not for too long a time. It's funny the thing I saw when I woke up was a red haired, red eyed demon that called me a stupid reckless bastard". Kurenai nodded in understanding. "So that's why you've been leaning so heavily on you sword while standing here tell me Naruto how long have you known about Kyuubi before you let her out of the seal how long did you know she was female". I looked at Kyuubi and she nodded her head giving me the ok to tell. "I didn't know she was female until she was out of the seal and appeared in this form, as for how long I've known about her; I've known about her since I was seven years old she would always appear in the form of a giant fox with this deep booming voice.

I like to think I did a good job hiding her all these years". Kurenai nodded again this time wiping the tears from her eyes. "I understand Naruto but that doesn't change the fact that Tsunade still wants you back shinobi or not, Mizukage-sama the scroll. My gaze shot over to where the Mizukage was standing, she refused to meet my gaze. "No Mei don't do this please I'm begging you, my life is here my home is here, don't send me back to that Kami forsaken village. My store is here who's gonna run it while I'm gone please, please don't do this to me". Mei pushed her way past the konoha nin to come and stand before me."Naruto I'm sorry but the amount she is offering to pay for your services would do wonders for this village, it could open up possibilities we never dreamed of before. Plus maybe Lady Tsunade could look at your leg, maybe she could give you the possibility of being a ninja again". She placed her hand on my shoulder a pleading look in her eyes.

I pushed her hand away from my shoulder," Lady Tsunade adopted me when I was a baby when everyone thought Kushina was dead. Then when I was seven years old she abandoned me, just up and left without any explanation. Then when I was thirteen almost fourteen after the sand sound invasion, old man Sarutobi sent Jairya out to bring her back to be the new hokage and she came. She thought that everything would be ok that I would treat her like a mother again well that didn't happen. A little over a year later when I turned fifteen she signed the order to have me banished out the village. I don't need her help, I don't want her help". I turned and walked away from her.

"Naruto I'm giving you a direct order as the Mizukage of Kiri if you refuse or try to run… I rounded on her slowly drawing Zar'roc out of it's sheath the blood red blade shining in the light, Mei took a step back fear flashing across her face. Chojuro appeared out of nowhere his blade held out in front of him, prepared to protect the Mizukage. I threw my blade onto the ground at her feet, she look at me surprise clear on her face. " I'm not going to run away Mizukage-sama, not like I could fight back really well if I wanted to, I'm going to get packed for the journey, all of you stay the hell away from me until I'm ready to". I walked into my room slamming the door behind me. I laid down on my bed the events of the night waying down on my mind. I tried to fight going to sleep but my brain was mentally exhausted and I slipped into unconsciousness.

Dream

Seven year old Naruto was running through the village on his way to the Hokage tower to see the two most important people in his life. Today was his birthday and his mother had told him that she had a very special surprise for him today. Naruto ran through the village oblivious to the sneers and glares of the villagers that he was currently dodging. Naruto ran up the stairs of the Hokage tower ignoring the look of the secretary as he pushed open the door to the Hokage's tower and went inside. "Hey old man where's Kaasan she said she had a special surprise for me".

Hiruzen Sarutobi's head shot up from where it was laying on the desk to look into the expectant eyes of the young boy before him. Sarutobi's heart clenched at what he was about to have to say wishing he had more time to break the news to young Naruto. The old Hokage slowly stood from his desk and walked around to kneel in front of him."NNaruto I don't know how to tell you this but I'm afraid Lady Tsunade has left the village".

Naruto cocked his head to the side in confusion, not sure what the old man meant. "What do you mean old man where did she go when is she coming back you know today is my birthday and she promised me a special surprise". A few stray tears slipped down Sarutobi's face as he prepared to say something he knew would break the boys heart forever. "Naruto I'm afraid she's gone and isn't coming back I'm sorry".

The smile slipped from Naruto's face and tears began to pool in the corners of his eyes. "your, you're lying Kaasan, Kaasan where are you, your supposed to be her it's my birthday come out please, please come out". Sarutobi layed his hand on Naruto's shoulder his heart breaking for the young boy in front of him screaming out for his mother. "Naruto I..". Naruto pushed forcefully way from the aged Hokage. "No it's not true, it's not she has to be here somewhere". Naruto turned and ran out of the office ignoring the calls of the Hokage behind him. Naruto ran throught the village searching for his mother, He was surprised when he turned down an alley and came face to face with an angry mob out for blood. Sarutobi Hiruzen was slowly banging his head up and down on his desk trying to fight back the tears that threatened to fall down his face when the sounds of a screaming child from somewhere in the village reached his ears.
