A/N The final Chapter!!!!!!
Betrayal or Trust
Ch. 13
Sakura POV
Hinata managed to lift herself out of my arms just in time to collapse into Kiba's, while I turned and collapsed into Sasuke's, Naruto's name pouring out of my mouth. I looked up at Sasuke, and surprised to see he was hurt and angry.
"Sasuke…how did this happen?"
I cried, I could feel Sasuke's hands turn into fists on my back.
"They won't get away with this…"
I looked up at Sasuke again and became frighten when I saw his sharringan was active, but I was having the same idea has him. I pulled myself away and slipped on my black gloves.
"If one member of team seven goes…"
"We all go."
Sasuke finished and the two of us dashed off leaving our friends behind us. It wasn't too hard getting past the jounin established at the entrance. We didn't care anymore; we were going to die anyway.
We arrived at the sealing room to find Kakashi and Jriaiya standing outside the sealing room. We stopped and stared. If I could have believed that I could feel more hatred for Kakashi-sensei then I did the day we left I wouldn't have believed it. But there he was, standing looking us in the eye.
"You where there…you were watching it…"
The words were almost impossible to get out. Sasuke was standing next to me his fists clenching and cutting into his hands.
"Jriaiya and I are the ones who performed the seal."
I was surprised I was one, who charged instead of Sasuke, or maybe I just beat him to it, but Kakashi-sensei didn't stop when I punched his face in, though he did block to the point I didn't crush his skull. Jriaiya immediately pushed me back allowing Sasuke to grab my arm but that didn't stop my mouth.
"How could you Kakashi-sensei! How could you betray Naruto! If I get my hands on you I swear I'll kill you!"
I was crying again has Sasuke held me back.
"Naruto is inside."
Jriaiya and Kakasho stepped aside. Sasuke and I rushed by them but didn't get far, we both froze. There on the ground was Naruto's body; he had no shirt on as he lay on his back.
"Naruto!"
I cried and ran to him. I fell down beside him and lifted him into my arms.
"Naruto! Naruto wake up! Please!"
I shook Naruto trying my hardest to try and wake him. Sasuke stood next to me staring down at Naruto, I couldn't see his face.
"Naruto! No! This wasn't your fault! It was Seye he did this!"
"I hardly see why I am responsible for the nine-tailed fox actions."
Sasuke and I looked over our shoulders, tears rolling down my face.
"You did all this! You killed your father because of what he did to your sister!"
"Don't you ever talk about my sister you stupid girl!"
Seye shouted back.
"That nine-tailed fox deserved what he got. Why should he get to live a happy life when Serenity had to suffer and be hated by everyone in her life…"
Seye couldn't his sentence because out of nowhere Sasuke disappeared and reappeared clutching Seye's throat against a wall.
"You are no longer allowed to talk about my best friend. You have no idea how much he suffered. Naruto…the nine-tailed fox, the most hated of all the tailed beasts knew what the very defition on hatred. He lived it all his life and only just recently just found something to live for. Yes your sister suffered but I grantee Naruto suffered more. He never had anyone love him…."
Sasuke tighten his grip on the young Lord's throat.
"Your sister at least had you."
Seye coughed trying to gain some air in his lungs.
"Even…if I hadn't been…the one…to control him…it is the fate of ….all carriers…to die alone…if he hadn't died now….he would have died alone…soon enough…."
I thought for sure that Sasuke was going to snap his neck I was even surprised Seye stayed consisious.
"Naruto didn't die…he was killed…by you."
"Yes..I hate all carriers….if my sister had to go crazy hearing that beasts voice and died a miserable death then so should very beast and the ones who carry them."
"You're so sick! How could you think like that!? You have no idea what you have done! Naruto has done so much good for the crap he had to go through, for a destiny that was forced on him when he was an infant! You're sister chose to be a carrier just to please your father! Naruto never had that choice!"
I bent my head and cried into Naruto's chest.
"My….Father drove my sister mad by always reminding her for what she became….he hated her more, even though she did it all for him…HE KILLED HER!"
"Then I guess that makes you no better than your father…."
All three of us turned our heads, in shock of the voice we just heard. I couldn't believe my eyes, Naruto. I looked over at Sasuke who shared the same expression as me.
"Seye the thing you didn't know was that Naruto Uzumakia never goes back on his word and I have made too many promises."
I must be going crazy; in my arms was Naruto's body…he couldn't be across the room. I quickly inspected the body but found no faults, this was Naruto's body.
"It can't be…Naruto."
That's not Naruto, that's someone using the shadow clone…it must be Kakashi-sensei, or master Jriaiya, or maybe Tusnade-sensei…but its not Naruto.
"How can you be alive? I watched them execute you…I watched you scream in pain as you died! How can you be alive!"
Sasuke dropped Seye as Seye was screaming. Naruto walked over and looked at me.
"Man Sakura you're a mess."
Naruto laughed seeing the blood on my outfit.
"You see Seye I am cursed with the nine-tail fox, and your sister wasn't lying when she said she heard the voice of the demon. Unfornately I have to visit mine more often then I ever wanted too, because he wasn't to thrilled about the idea of us being excuted. He helped me relive that day…."
Naruto had a painful look on his face.
"I had to relive everything, including the pain and the actions…it was horrorable. However I know what happen and I know it was you…and I don't roll over and let some loser hurt my friends and try and break my promises."
Seye growled and screamed and lunged at Naruto Sasuke went to grab him but Naruto was there and rasengen in his hand delivered it into his gut. Seye screamed in pain and was sent flying across the room. Naruto walked over and grabbed his collar.
"Listen here, I am the carrier for the nine-tails fox….but I am NOT that beast…"
Naruto dropped him and turned back towards us. I looked at Sasuke who was glaring at Naruto.
"You were alive this whole time and you said nothing…you IDOIT!"
Sasuke charged but Naruto was ready as if he was expecting it. The met half way and locked each other in an arm grip.
"Sorry Sasuke. I know it ticks you off but I no one could know…I had to make sure Seye believe what was happening just has much as you did."
The both jumped back but didn't charge again. Naruto looked at me and saw my tears.
"I'm sorry Sakura."
I ran over and through my arms around Naruto then stepped back quickly and slapped him…hard.
"You idiot what were you thinking!?"
Naruto rubbed his cheek as he told us about what happened. He fooled grandma Tusnade into excuting him without a trial but when they came to get him he had create a clone, with the help of the nine-tailed fox much to Naruto's dislike. The body we had found was a clone of Naruto's that was excuted.
"Impossible…I inspected that body, it was no shadow clone, it was made of flesh and blood."
"Exactly, it's my newest clone, a blood clone. It could be my twin if it didn't take so much chakra to create it."
I couldn't believe it, he devolped a new jutus in such little time a new clone that should never exist, then again if anyone could have done it, Naruto would be the one. Then Kakashi and Jriaiya had excuted it thinking I was the real one. Naruto had been hiding out until he could prove his innocence.
"So the heck did we have to run all over creation to you if you had all this planned."
Naruto gave an uneasy laugh and scratched the back of his head.
"Ya see I kinda thought of it the last few hours. I thought that maybe I could escape and capture Seye but then I thought if I could pull off this little idea it would so much easier."
After further insults at Naruto for not thinking ahead and being stupid for not relying on his friends. We all exited, Sasuke carrying Seye over his shoulder, you should have seen Tusnade, Jriaiya and Kakashi' faces when they saw us. Not to mention the mob of the rookies and the Sand siblings and a lot of Naruto's friends he had helped over the years. It was practically a public announcement on what the real story was, but that night there was a lot of partying. Just as we were all heading home Naruto began to walk in the opposite direction of his home.
"Naruto where are you going."
Naruto slipped his hands into his pockets and smiled over his shoulder.
"I have to go see someone about a promise."
Naruto's POV
I entered the jail and stood infront of the cell where Seye was sitting in. Once word got back to the Rain country on what he did, let's just say he wasn't going to so welcomed.
"Come to gloat beast?"
"No. I come to fulfill a promise. I made a promise to myself that if I ever met any other carriers of tailed beasts I would never hold anything against them because I knew how they felt. I look ay you and see an inner demon. And because of that I told Hokage Tusnade that you should be released. We'll let you start out, even though you'll have a record you'll be a free man."
"I can never be free for the hatred I bear."
"That may be true but you brought that on yourself. Unlike me, Gaara and your sister our fates we're forced upon us. We were born in the name of hatred and lived only to be hated yet here I am out here and you in there. I have friends who care about me and a future. You did have family be you killed what was left and you continue to become someone your sister hated. A murderer."
"Leave me be! Away you beast!"
"Last time I checked a monster kills. So let me be the beast I couldn't choose to be and let you be the monster you are. Either way I'm walking away now, and you're in my past, I will never think of you again. From here on out you we forget."
Naruto turned and walked away never turning when Seye grabbed the bars screaming into air how much he hated him and how he will always hate my kind but it didn't bother me I had something he didn't.
I looked up and I was surprised to see Hinata, Sasuke and Sakura waiting for me outside, all standing in the moonlight. I smiled and wrapped my arm around Hinata's waist, Sasuke andSakura linked their fingers together as we all walked off down Konoha' streets.
You can't beat me Seye, unlike you I have people who love me despite what I am, you killed all those who loved you because of what you became.
