Chapter 04: Troublesome Onsens & Sleepless Nights

Camp Three Hours Later: Naruto P.O.V

I was being hunted. Hunted by the one thing I've been hunting since that say three years ago. Sasuke. He escaped from Orochimaru and came back to the village. Yet when he got back everyone forgot about me until I went to Tsunade-baachan.

"Well done Naruto, you've not only failed to bring back Sasuke, but you have failed to ever become Hokage." Tsunade-baachan spoke with suck a cold voice. "And for that well lets just say the villagers will get there wish." There was a knock on the door, "come in", she said. Entering where every single friend I thought I had. They looked at me in disgust and hatred. Gaara was there to.

"You all know what to do." Tsunade-ba, no evil Tsunade ordered.

And that's were we are now.

"Naruto, get back here and let me gain my birthright" Sasuke said.

"Dickless what's wrong?" I hear Sai question his tone cruel and nothing like the monotone he always spoke in.

"Naruto" I heard a voice to my left say. I looked over and saw the blonde boy in front of his friends with the brunet boy like how when we first met them. He looked and sounded scared. The two girls behind him were quivering in fear. I looked down at me hands and saw I had Kyuubi's cloak on me. Looking back at the children I saw them covered with injuries. Blood flowing like a river, staining the ground beneath their feet. "Ow, That hurt Naru~" Spoke the youngest. "Naruto stop it you hurting them." I heard Sakura cry out.

Next thing I know I'm soaked and in my sleeping bag back in the forest with my team and the kids. I looked around frantically trying to see where they all were. I saw Kakashi holding Leiko, who was whimpering and mad. I noticed a red mark on her chest as Kakashi stood with her in the entrée way of the tent. I then looked to their right and saw Sai with Jonouchi and Shun. Jonouchi was muttering about some stupid fox, while Shun said nothing but approached me. He suddenly hugged me and told me to let it out. Leiko crawled out of Kakashi-sensei's arms and followed Shun in hugging me. Soon all of the four young children were hugging me 'till they all fell asleep. By that time Sai had gone to keep watch for me while Kakashi-sensei slept outside the tent, because there wasn't much room inside it.

I felt some movement next to me and saw Leiko cuddling into my side with Shun next to her, on my was Jonouchi and Mitsuki was to my left also cuddling my side. I slowly fell back to sleep while watching there small bodies try to catch what ever warmth I had on me. The last thing I thought before sleep took me was how cute these kids were.

...

When the morning light hit my face it was not long 'till I awoke and saw that the boys were still there. From my guess Sakura-chan might have taken the girls to go change or get ready.

I slowly remembered the events of last night. I sat there taking it all in until I heard Kakashi-sensei's voice brought me back to reality.

"Naruto how are you feeling?" Kakashi-sensei asked

"I'm doing fine it was just," I thought for a minute. If I tell Kakashi-sensei it was the fox's idea of a prank then I might have to talk to Purvey-Sage and baa-chan about the seal. "It's just stress Kakashi-sensei" I finally decided.

"Alright then. I came in here to get you three up so we could leave. Maybe the onsen will do you good." Kakashi-sensei spoke giving his one eye n smiles.

After waking Jonouchi and Shun we went and joined the others in eating. It seems Sakura-chan healed the kids because not a scratch was left on there skin. That made me feel some what better.

Once we finished eating, we packed up camp and destroyed the fire pit and headed northeast to the Land of Tea and the Onsens. It took about two hours and by the time we got there the kids were cranky and had succeeded in annoying us all beyond what I had ever did. Mainly Jonouchi and Leiko. Hell Even Sai looked pissed. That was also impossible.

We arrived at the Inn and Kakashi-sensei paid for a suit with two rooms. One had five matts while the other had three matts. It was pretty obvious the boys go the bigger room and the girls get the smaller. When we got to the room the kids were jumping around looking around with what Bushier brows-sensei would call the power of youth.

Kakashi had decided to take a small group to the Onsen while we decided what we wanted to do our selves. In the end me, Sakura-chan, Jonouchi, and Mitsuki decided to go with Kakashi-sensei. While Sai went around to draw with Shun and Leiko. We did not notice the ominous presence in the room two doors down.

Edge of forest 10:00 A.M.: 3rd P.O.V

If you looked at the edges of the forest you would see a young adult with two young children. The young adult bearing pale white skin and black hair drawing the two young children, who from a glance were playing "Uncle" but if you look closer you would see a raven haired boy holding a albino child in a headlock. Those were Sai, Shun/Sean and Leiko/Leah.

"Give up 'Ko! You can't win against me" Shun/Sean said to the young girl he held.

"Never! I'm gunna be Pirate King!" Leiko/Leah screamed, "Gum Gum no Pistol!" aim her fist at the boys head.

Dodging the boy Shun/Sean replied "Fireflies!" opening his arms like he was going to hug the other child. Only to have her Act like she had stepped on a land mine. "You'll never beat me if you use weak moves 'Ko" Shun/Sean said.

Sai just stared at the two wondering what game they were playing.

"Sai don't move your gonna be white beard 'kay!" The little girl told him.

Doing as he was told Sai just watched as there game progressed. After an hour Shun had manage to trap Leiko in a circle of rocks and the game was over.

"Sai I'm hungree~" Complained Leiko as she and Shun walked up to Sai who had finished his drawing of the two as pirates. Leiko stood in a pink vest with short frayed shorts and a straw hat with a pink ribbon on her head, while she fought Shun who was dressed like a blue cowboy with a paintbrush tattooed on his chest. [Anyone guess the reference?]

"We wont be meeting the others for another two hours Leiko-chan" Sai said to the young child hanging off his pants. "Why don't you two draw with me?" Sai suggested the bored look apparent on the two children's faces.

Shun/Sean nodded his head and walked over to Sai and sat down next to him and started drawing while Leiko, turned away saying she would go look around instead. Sai agreed telling her to not go to far, knowing that he could find he chakra signature if she went to far. How ever Sai was soon distracted by Shun asking for a piece of charcoal. So Sai didn't notice the new chakra signature.

Leiko's P.O.V 11:00 A.M.

I walked away from Sean Sai for a good while. Then when I thought I was far enough I started to run off in a random direction. I had to let off some steam before I burst. The stress was too much along with the sorrow and pain of lies I have been keeping from everyone.

I came across a little brook in the woods I stopped and sat before the rushing water. At least I thing it was a brook might have been a thin river with moss covered boulders in it. It was soo peaceful and serene. After a few minutes I broke down in tears.

I had realized the problem me and the others faced late last night when I saw Naruto brake down in his sleep. And when I woke up this morning I knew I would need to spend time thinking on what Orochimaru did to us.

Well from what I can tell we are slowly losing the last of our unstable teenage hormones and are gaining child bodies, hormones, and brains. If me being able to get Sean to actually play a game with me. And not cards. Then Jeff being friendly to strangers, and Myla not shy! Plus I woke up this morning next to a dog and I wasn't scared at all. As a adult and teen I was petrified of dogs. Big or small it didn't matter. I mean we have our memories but it seems our intelligence is fading to fit to this worlds knowledge. By losing our previous knowledge we are able to learn new things but still! I liked being 'stupid'. Plus the worst part is we all have lost our family, and our lives in our world. Oh and I sometimes talk like a baby! G

I was still sobbing as I sat thinking about all these depressing thoughts. I heard a twig snap and looked to were the sound came from. What I saw filled me with joy and doom. Joy because I was fangirling and doom because I just might die.

Before me stood two Akasuki members the black cloaks with red clouds giving them away. They were the two Uchiha Akasuki. Tobi/Madara/Obito and Itachi. I couldn't tell where Tobi was looking because of his mask but I could see Itachi looking at me with his 'cold' stoned eyes.

"What's wrong little girl?" Tobi asked his voice calm and kind.

"I miss my family" I sobbed snot running out of my nose as the tears came harder from my eyes. I wiped at my nose with the sleeve of my shirt desperately trying to calm my hysterics.

"Where are they?" Tobi asked.

"They all gone! My m-mo-mommy and Da-ddy dead. M-ma-my wittle si-ter es gone too!" I balled

Itachi looked down at me with understanding. And asked what happed to them. I told him Orochimaru took me away from them, until I escaped. I didn't tell them about Team 7 or my friends. They both waited till I calmed down enough to finally talk to start asking me questions again.

"Are you lost? Do you have somewhere to go?" Tobi asked

"Uh-huh, I'm in the bath village near by." I said with hic ups "butI no know were it is I got lost." Which was sadly true.

"Well your in luck we were just heading that way. We'll take you back to the village. Right Itachi?" Tobi told me.

I had no say. The two Uchiha's took me back to the village were I led them to the inn where the other's were. They let me run ahead and soon
I reached my door. The two Akasuki members walked two doors down from mine and knocked. They looked at me before I walked in and told me if I ever got lonely to go see them in the room the stood before. Then we both entered our own rooms.

I looked at the clock on the wall and noticed I it was 2:14 P.M. 'I missed lunch'. Great that's when I heard not only the window open but the door slam open.

Sai came in from the boys room with my friends while Sakura came from the window. The door opened revealing a mad Kakashi and Upset Naruto. When all eyes landed on me there was yelling.

Now the next part will be confusing so I should probably describe everyone's reactions separately.

Sai looked at me with a blank look while the was a red hand mark on his face. Next were my friends they all looked mad at, probably cause they missed lunch because of me.

Sakura was shaking in rage while her eyes held relief that I was safe. Naruto had rushed up to me to check if I had any injuries then hugged me tight saying not to run off again and that I was going to be put on a leash.

Finally Kakashi, his response was silence and a look of relief flooded his one visible eye. Finally speaking Kakashi said "Okay everyone lets go get lunch". And with that we all left. Forgetting, for now at least that the Akasuki were near and that I had just scared everyone by running away, I ran off to find food. Leaving everyone to have anime sweat drops and fall to the ground.
