Chapter 4- The truth
"Naruto, I think you should know the truth about your parents," said the elder toad sitting crossed legged in front of the blonde named Naruto. "Now before I tell you anything, I would like for you to tell me everything you know about your parents' kid."
"Ok Fukasaku, well all I remember being told about them was that, my mom was a shinobi who died giving birth to me." Said the blonde "And about my father…I was told that he died fighting the kyubi." Tears began to form in his deep sapphire eyes.
"Well Naruto, that is half the truth," responded Fukasaku. "What I am about to tell you may shock you, so prepare yourself."
"Ok..."
"Now I will start with your mother, her name was Kushina Uzumaki. She was a very stubborn ninja but strong as well. Just like you. She was from the former Whirlpool country but she immigrated when she was young to Konoha due to her village being in war." The air blew around them and everything was quiet. "What about my father?" asked Naruto.
"Your father was the most skilled Shinobi Konoha has ever had. He fell in love with your mother nine months ago before the Kyubi attacked. They were a very intresting couple, they eventually made love and nine month later you were born. On the same day you were born the Kyubi attacked and your father had to make the hardest decision ever."
"What was his decision you old toad," asked Naruto with excitement in his voice. "Your father sacrificed himself to seal the Kyubi in you; Naruto your father is Minato Namikaze, also known as The fourth Hokage."
AT KONOHA
A pink-haired girl sat on her bed looking at a picture. It was the first picture she ever took with her team, she gazed upon the picture and tears formed in her eyes. 'Maybe I do love Naruto, and maybe I was never in love with Sasuke.' said the crying girl to herself. 'I am such a Baka, now I know the truth. I was never in love with Sasuke, I was in love with an imaginary person who never existed.' The pink head's tears ran down her soft cheeks. 'Now I know my feelings for Naruto, now I know why he is always following me around. Now I know why he chases Sasuke for me and why he is always protecting me.' A smile appeared upon her face.
'The truth is I love Naruto Uzumaki and when he returns I will show my true feelings to him. But in the mean time I will train hard for him' said Sakura as she whipped the tears of her face. 'Good luck Naruto.'
At AKATSUKI HIDEOUT
All members of the Akatsuki organization stood in front of a giant statue head. They were all witnessing the extraction of the eight-tailed beast, it was very silent until there masked leader broke the silence.
"Good job Sasuke, now we are one step closer to completing our goal,"
"Hmph, it was easy," said Sasuke with a smirked upon his face. "Even though my team was badly injured, I single handedly destroyed that demon fool. No one can beat an Uchihia."
"That's right my boy no one can beat our power." Responded there tyrant leader. "Now Pain, I herd that the Demon brat wasn't in the village. Am I correct?"
"Yes, you are correct." responded the grey-eyed Pain.
"Very well, Zetsu I have a mission for you and don't fail me"
"What's the mission Madara-sama?"
"Zetsu your mission is to spy on Konoha and gather information on the whereabouts of the demon brat." said the masked leader as he started laughing.
BACK WITH NARUTO
"You mean that the person who gave me this burden is my father!" screamed Naruto. "Why would someone do this to their own son? I don't understand!" tears ran down his face. He collapsed sobbing to the ground.
"Naruto you have to understand he had no other choice, you know he really loved you." responded Fukasaku.
"That's just lies I don't believe this!"
"Naruto calm down please, that man really loved you and he had no other choice. It was the village destruction or sealing the Kyubi in you by sacrificing himself. He knew that you will have to carry this burden, that's why he asked for you to be treated as a hero." said the elder toad.
"Yeah the village sure treated me like garbage instead of a hero!" said Naruto Crying. "What kind of father will do that to their son?"
"A father who loved his village and family so much that he protected everyone around him by sacrificing himself, and if you don't believed me that he loved you then well you'll have to trust me." said the elder toad as he took out a sealed scroll out of his robes. "Here is the letter he wrote before he died, read it when you're calmed down. I am sorry for everything you went through your life. I will leave so you can think."
