Chapter 23: Unbreakable

When they returned Naruto went straight into the kitchen to cook. Everyone knew not to bother Naruto in the kitchen when he is on one of those moods. Tonight they were having chicken teriyaki with rice. Pretty simple enough. They ate in silence neither one of them wanting to speak out first. Everyone was thinking of what happened and how Naruto really felt what he told Sasuke. They wanted to know if the words he said were true or was it to make Sasuke feel worst.

"Why so quiet?" Naruto was the first to speak. His team mates all looked up from their plates to look at him.

"Nothing, just this god awful food has all gagging that we can't talk or we might throw up." Leon said picking up his fork to eat again. Naruto smacked him right in the back of his head making Leon land face first in his bowl of food. Everyone laughed while Leon was passed out on his food and Naruto continued eating as if nothing happened.

"You sure it doesn't change anything?" Sora had to ask the question everyone wanted to ask.

"Changes what?" Naruto asked confused.

"Well, he apologize. Doesn't that, you know, it's a start, right?" Sora was now getting scared. Naruto sometimes would get mad when they try to get into his personal matters.

Naruto put down his fork and sigh, "Look, they can apologize all they want about the past. How they treated me, how they talked about me, how they saw me in their eyes. Apologizing will never be good enough because they did the ultimate betrayal and didn't define themselves as true friends. I bent over backwards for them to help them out and when it's time to return the favor they leave me in the cold. They literally left me out in the cold. What a cliché thing to say."

Naruto was now thinking on the last part he had said. He found it funny in how they really left him out in the cold the entire night.

"So is leader going to miss us?" Leon said.

"Didn't I just killed you?" Naruto asked him.

"You know you can't kill me. Your love you have for me stops you." Leon cling on to him.

"I don't know…," Naruto began, "Sometimes the urge to kill you is more powerful than it seems." Leon turned to see Naruto cleaning his kunai with an evil smile on his face. Leon's face dropped. He didn't know if Naruto was being serious or if he was joking. Everyone started laughing hard at Leon's face even Naruto couldn't hold the act for long. Naruto wiped the tears he had that gathered on the side of his eyes for laughing too hard.

"Yes, I'm going to miss all of you guys." Naruto finally answered.

"But you're going to miss me the most right? Especially on these cold lonely nights to come." Leon's face was now in his bowl of food again. Yuffie held Leon's face in the bowl until he stopped moving.

"He won't be lonely because he will have me here." Yuffie said triumphantly. Everyone laughed all but Leon since he was once again announced dead.

It was true though that they will be leaving tomorrow. He had assigned them missions to go on. It was very crucial for them to go and the sooner the better. He needs to know what exactly is going on and if the rumors are true. All those years ago when he had brought Sasuke back and no thank you was given to him or acknowledgement. Sasuke didn't defeat Orochimaru and neither did Naruto in his travels or as Yoru the night assassin. He never accepted the hit to kill Orochimaru whenever it was brought to him. He felt it was Sasuke's job to kill the snake bastard since it was his choice to go with him and for him to clean up his own mess he had made for himself. Same goes for Itachi. Naruto has run into Itachi numerous of times that he lost count. He didn't have the need to kill Itachi it was not his fight or responsibility. Sasuke wanted his vengeance then he can have it. Naruto is no servant to clean up after people. Naruto has his own reasons why he is going after Orochimaru and for not killing Itachi.

"When are you leaving?" Naruto asked sadly.

"We decided to leave at four in the morning. It will be better for us to blend into the morning night. Even though this village's security sucks. We can be butt naked walking right in front of them and they still wouldn't notice a thing!" Sora said in a shrug at the end.

Everyone looked at him with an eyebrow raised in questioning about the last thing he said.

"What?!" Sora asked getting a little annoyed with the looks.

"Nothing, you just so special sometimes." Riku said putting his arm his shoulder.

"How come it feels like I just got insulted." Sora pouted. Everyone chuckled.

"So what do you plan to do boss while we're gone?" Leon was serious. Yuffie finally let him go since she needed a refreshment.

"I don't know. Probably go on more stupid meaningless missions the Hokage has me doing." Naruto said leaning back on his chair tipping back now and then while having his arms on the back of his head.

"Is that all?" Leon insisted.

"That's all. All I'm doing is playing the waiting game. I need to know what I think is going on is true and if it is…" Naruto stood quiet after that. Everyone knew what he was talking about. They knew perfectly why they were setting out on the mission. If his hunch is true then they are in for a long ride.

"It's getting late and you guys have a long travel ahead. Let's call it a night." Naruto stood up indicating it was not a request but an order. He usually gets them early to bed so they can rest well. He knew in a house one can relax but once exposed to the open world one can never let their guard down. They all got up and put their dishes in the sink. They all went upstairs to their own bedroom.

Naruto was out on his balcony. He had on just black pajama pants. He was leaning on the rail looking up at the stars as if they will give him an answer on what to do next, he sigh.

"How you holding up?" Naruto got startled and turned around to the owner's voice. He wasn't that surprised to see it was Leon.

"I'm okay." Naruto said turning back to see the stars.

"Are you going to be okay?" Leon asked again.

"Yeah, I guess I will. Pretty much have to." Naruto shrugged.

"You know if I could I would stay but you know ab-"Naruto interrupted Leon.

"I know, you have to go all of you." Naruto said sadly looking up to the heavens.

"Well, you still have Yuffie around so you can't be too lonely." Leon chuckled.

"Yeah but now that you're going to be gone now she won't be able to beat you up anymore. Now with no entertainment she will be even more dangerous. A bored Yuffie is a dangerous Yuffie." Naruto gulped. He could already imagine how a bored Yuffie going to be. Naruto let out a groan and rested his head in his hands. He knew this was going to be a pain being solo with just Yuffie not to mention the rest of Konoha.

Leon laughed at his leader's antics. "It won't be too bad Boss besides before you know it we will be back in no time. We have to go I mean they are orders and if you feel in your gut that where we're going is where we will find wha-"Naruto interrupts Leon once again.

"I know, I know. It's just I really wish I can go but a promise is a promise. I'm just hoping I saw wasn't true. I mean I can see it happening again and this time it will be much bigger and even way worse than what happened three years ago…" Naruto said defeated.

"That's why you'll stay here just in case something comes up. Besides it's what…" Leon couldn't finish the sentence he knew he was treading on thin ice when this subject came up.

"Yea… I know a promise to the past and the future." Naruto finished saying and turned around to look Leon in the eyes. They both understood the importance of both their missions and how much Naruto was in the middle of all this.

Morning came faster then what Naruto wanted. They were all standing in Naruto's backyard. It was a very sad moment for all of them. They didn't know what to say in this serious moment.

"Well, I know you're going to miss my sexy body so I took the opportunity to take pictures and developed just the one of the pictures made the cut so here is a 24x18 poster of me for your lonely nights!" Leon exposed the poster of himself and presented it to Naruto. Everyone gaped at the poster of himself fully naked with a leaf covering his man part. While he laid on a velvet satin sheet and his hair ruffled as if he had a crazy night.

"OW!" Leon was now crutching down holding his head.

"How dare you try to dirty Nii-san's head with such disgust! My eyes can never be repaired by the horrible scene I just witnessed!" Yuffie cried out.

"What?! You should be honored to see such beauty displayed upon a poster! You're not worthy!" Leon shouted at Yuffie while pointing at her with his finger.

"Pft! Your beauty is dooty!" Yuffie said with a smirk.

"Ha-ha! That rhymed Yuffie." Sora said laughing. Leon pouted making everyone burst out laughing. Wiping tears from his eyes Naruto was the first to speak after their laughing moment.

"Well, this is where we have to say good-bye." Everyone's mood went down. No one wanted to say it or wanted leave Naruto alone.

"It's not good-bye more like I'll see you later." Leon said with a smile.

"Yeah! We will be back in no time! You'll see we're the best of the best!" Sora said in triumph with his fist up in the air.

"You know he's right. You trained us and lead us. You trust in our abilities and know we can handle anything." Riku said staring into Naruto's eyes. Naruto sigh and knew Riku was right. Riku's face held fire in his eyes with determination that told him they will not fail.

"He's right Nii-san! You trained us all and even showed us different techniques to become even more awesome ninjas on our journey! AND! You know those were powerful ninjas too! We kicked butt!" Yuffie said with pride.

"Oi! Who said you were leaving?! You're staying here with the sexiest god to have ever come to existence." Leon wailed. Yuffie hit him across the head. Everyone else shook their heads. Their attention was broken when they heard sniffing. They all turned to see Yuffie crying.

"I'm gonna miss you, you old perv." Yuffie said with her head bowed down, bangs covering her eyes. They couldn't see the tears going down her cheeks and hitting the ground.

Leon soften his facial expression to a soft sad smile. He walked towards her and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"I'll miss you too squirt. Take good care of him and always make sure he is not alone; he has us and others as well." Yuffie nodded in Leon's chest to his words.

"Well then we're burning daylight. Shall we get going?" Leon turned to Sora and Riku. They both nodded to Leon and nodded towards Naruto and smiled. Then they disappeared. Leon turn towards Naruto and smiled.

"Take good care Cloud. Remember you do have us even if we're not here we will always be here for you. And you keep reminding him that." The last part was directed to Yuffie.

Naruto smiled at Leon's words. Leon's words always had a way to get through his tough barriers to his heart. Leon smiled at him and waved good-bye and he too was gone. Naruto missed them all already. Being called Cloud again made him smile and brought back memories. Memories that bonded them together. A bond that will always be unbreakable.
