Alright folks I'm back again with another chapter, now then it's the fabled return to Konoha I hope you all enjoy it_Goliath
The reaction was immediate I had to quickly reach out and grab Hana and Anko as they tried to attack Kushina. Kyuubi did the same thing with Yugao and Kurenai, Blackfire was standing over Sakura and Hinata daring them to make a move. All four of the ice queens were struggling to break free and get at Kushina, but it was Kurenai who actually spoke out."Let us go she needs to pay for what she's done". I felt angry, pure white hot rage course through my body when she said that. I let the two that I was holding go and they looked back at me in surprise, all thoughts of attacking Kushina gone. Before I could speak however Kyuubi was on her feet her eye's literally burning with fire.
"Pay for what she's done, look at her, look at how miserable she is." Everyone's gaze shifted to Kushina, who was staring at the ground tears streaming down her face. "She is so close to her son that she can touch him but she knows, she knows she'll never be inside his heart. She knows that no matter how hard she tries she'll never have all his love. He'll never look at her as a mother, as someone he can trust and respect, and that fact is slowly killing her inside". I watched as Kushina got up from her spot on the ground and walked away from the camp disappearing into the woods.
"Now then let's look at you four, the famed ice queens of Konoha. At an early age you were there for him, you watched over him and protected him. You visited him on your day's off, played with him and showed him what it was like to have a family. You were there with Tsunade on his birthdays and all the other major events they celebrated. He looked up to you, you were his sisters, his inspiration. Then on his seventh birthday just like Tsunade you just up and disappeared. But unlike Tsunade he still saw you regularly around the village, but he could never get close enough to you to ask why you cut him out of your lives just like his mother did. You would either run from him, or like Anko did at the chunnin exam and just completely cut him down." All four of the Kunoichi looked like they wanted to protest but Kyuubi quickly cut them off. "I swear if you try to blame this on the council I'll turn you into ice queens for real. Your kunoichi for kami's sake, in fact you're four of the strongest kunoichi that konoha has to offer. At any given time you could have turned those those pompous bastards into nothing more than puddles of blood at your feet. You have no one but yourselves to blame for what happened and you have to deal with the consequences, just like Kushina does, just like Tsunade's going to have to and just like all of Konoha is going to". Kyuubi made a motion with her hand and I got up from my spot following her away from the camp, leaving the four women to stare at each other and think about what she said.
Kyuubi and I walked towards the gates of Konoha, I was surprised that Izumo and Kotetsu weren't standing there checking people in. Instead in their place was an unkown ninja and he was glaring at me, I could tell immediately what kind of a man he was. "I'm sorry demon but…" I cut him off as I grabbed him by the throat and lifted him clear of the ground. "I don't have time for your hateful crap, open the gate now". He nodded his head struggling for breath. I dropped him and he scrambled opening it as fast as he could. He grabbed at his throat, gasping for breath before finally speaking "The horse will have to remain her at the gate". He held out his hand for blackfire's reigns, I snorted in disdain and slapped his hand away. "Over your dead body, I'd never trust any of you with her well being".
Blackfire and I walked past the disgruntled guard followed by Kyuubi into the village. The minute I stepped over the threshold all activity in the village seemed to stop. Everyone's gaze fixed on me, and whispers broke out amongst them. I leaned over and whispered to Kyuubi "so do you think to they remember me". She reached out and grabbed a bottle out of the air that some brave citizen had decided to throw at my head. She smirked and said "I think it's safe to presume that they do". After several minutes of glaring each other down several of the villagers got the nerve to actually approach us. "Damn demon, how dare you show your face in this village after everything you've done to us, after everyone you've taken, leave before…" The man was cut off mid sentence when he looked down and found Zar'roc placed directly under his chin. Horror filled the man's eye's as I smirked evilly at him and spoke. "GO ahead, it's the last thing you'll ever say before I send you to meet all those you miss so dearly". However before I could drive my sword several anbu appeared separating us from the now sweating crowd.
I was surprised to see the familiar dog masked anbu among the others, "Hello Kakashi". The dog masked anbu turned towards me slowly removing his mask, revealing the familiar single eye smile. "Hello Naruto it's been a long time how have you been". I drove my fist into his stomach with all the strength I had putting all my years of torment and pain into that single punch. He sunk to his knees spitting up blood, the other anbu moved to intercede when I placed the blade of my sword against his chest but Kakashi quickly waved them off. I looked over at Kyuubi who was staring back at me impassively.
"NARUTO" I turned to look behind me and found Sakura standing near the gate flanked by Kushina, Hinata, and the ice queens. "Naruto please whatever your thinking don't do it, I know he wasn't the best sensei and your not happy with us but he was still our sensei and he's still a good man.
I snorted in disdain, a good man that was laughable. "Sakura there's a big difference between what you've done and what he's done, he was your sensei not mine never mine, he never taught me a damn thing. Trust me if you knew half the things he'd done you'd want him just as dead as he's about to be. So stay back or you will be joining him". I turned my attention back to him and was kinda surprised to find him still kneeling on the ground in front of me. "I'm surprised why didn't you move why aren't you fighting back you and I both know I didn't hit you that hard".
Kakashi sighed heavily before reaching up and removing his head band revealing one of the few remaining famed sharingan in existence. "To tell you the truth Naruto because I'm tired, I've made a lot of mistakes in my life, I failed Sensei, I failed Obito and Rin, but most importantly I failed you. Instead of looking after you and protecting you I did worse things to you horrible things. Then when the Hokage assigned you to my team I deliberately ignored you out of spite. I know I was wrong for it and the guilt is literally eating me up inside. I know that I'll never be able to apologize enough or beg your forgiveness enough for that guilt to go away. I know it probably dosen't mean anything but I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything that I and all these stupid villagers put you through. I deserve whatever happens today.
I felt my resolve begin to go and my blade began to slip from his chest, I could tell he could see it in my eyes. He wrapped his hand around the blade and in one quick jerk drove the blade into his heart.
With that the once great Sharingan Kakashi was dead. He didn't die on some distant battlefield, or out on a mission protecting his village he died kneeling on the ground in front of his former student broken and begging for death.
I could hear the villagers begin to call out how I murdered the jonin, how I should be put to death for my crimes but my eyes were fixed on the lifeless eyes of Kakashi Hatake. I leaned down and slowly closed his eye. "Were even now Kakashi, may you find the peace in death that you could not find in life". I slowly got back to my feet as Sakura pushed past me to cry on the chest of her dead sensei. The eagle masked anbu looked down at the scene for a few minutes before turning towards me and speaking. " I will not arrest you for this, since he technically took his own life come we'll lead you to the tower".
I laughed out right at this. "We don't need your escort we don't need your escort we can take care of ourselves, I'm not afraid of these villagers".
Some how I could tell that he was smirking behind his eagle mask as he reiterated. "were not doing it to protect you from them, were doing it to protect them from you". I smirked again as I fell into step behind the anbu followed by Kyuub, hinata, and the ice queens. The other four anbu took up formation around us, and we pushed our way through the crowd towards Hokage tower.
As we were about to ascend the stairs to the tower I heard a familiar perverse giggling nearby. I looked at Kyuubi and she made a go ahead motion with her hand. I disappeared around a corner, a few minutes later I came back dragging a certain white haired perverted toad sage. I threw him in the dirt at blackfire's hooves, who proceeded to plant a hoove in the man's chest. The sputtering man tried to form a coherent sentence but I cut him off grabbing the front of his mesh shirt. "Don't go anywhere godfather when I come back you and I are going to have a very long, very painful talk". I looked at Blackfire "if he moves eat him". I walked back over to the group and we and we began ascending the stairs to Tsunade's office. As we walked up the stairs I heard Jairya's voice. "You're not really going to eat me are you".
That's all for this chapter folks, next time we meet with Tsunade_Goliath out
