Trapped: Chapter Five
Naruto stood in the silent room, glancing between the two doors as he tried to calm his chakra and reach through to the Nine-tailed fox.
"Nine-tails, are you there?" Naruto asked, his eyes closed and his hands clenching the edge of the bench.
"Naruto," The Nine Tailed Fox answered from deep inside Naruto.
"What happened to me?" Naruto asked, raising his hand up to his head and waiting for the demon fox to answer.
"I was going to kill us, save the world from the Akatsuki," The demon fox answered.
"Kill us...what stopped you?" Naruto asked.
"Pein, agreed to not extract me or harm you," The fox replied; Naruto turned to the Ramon sitting on the bench.
"Why would he do that?" Naruto asked, holding the side of his head with his hand and waiting for an answer.
"Who are you talking to?" Deidara questioned, as he entered the room; Naruto jumped knocking over the Ramon and spilling the hot water on to his hands.
Naruto stepped away from the counter, pulling his hands close to his chest as Deidara rushed to his side and pulled him quickly towards the sink. Flipping on the cold tap, Deidara held his hands and Naruto's under the cold water. Glancing at the younger blond boy, Deidara could see the fear in his eyes and uncertainly as Deidara touched his hands. Hearing footsteps both Deidara and Naruto looked up to check who it was; seeing Sasori standing looking at them.
"You can let him go now," Sasori said; Deidara released Naruto's hands and took a step away from him.
"Those BASTARDS," Naruto shouted, dropping to his knees and letting his memories fill his mind again.
Memory (Naruto aged Fifteen)
"Why didn't I know Minoto was my father?" Naruto yelled at the council.
"Does it matter?" One of the members asked.
"Of course it does," Naruto shouted.
The council members glanced at each other; one of them who sat in the corner flicked through a pile of files before opening one and beginning to read.
"You will never become Hokage," The oldest female member whispered.
End Memory
At that time, Naruto hadn't realized that the council had already officially and legally banned Naruto from being able to be chosen as Hokage. Naruto had been so un-aware of what the council had been doing to stop him; theynever told him until after Tsunade had died, so that she could do nothing to stop them.
"Naruto?" Deidara questioned, dropping to his knees beside the younger blond.
"After everything I did for them, for the village...everyone is still afraid of me," Naruto whispered.
"I'm not afraid of you," Deidara replied, Sasori had walked over and was now leaning on the bench watching the two blonds.
"Come on," Sasori said, walking into the kitchen and holding his hands out for the two blonds.
Without hesitation Deidara took Sasori's hand and let himself be pulled up from the ground; for a minute Naruto pulled back and tried to figure out what to do.
"Naruto, just take my hand just for a moment," Sasori ordered, immediately Naruto set his hand into Sasori's and was pulled quickly and easily from the floor.
Releasing Naruto's hand after only a second contact, he was now on his feet with his arms hanging limply at his sides. Smiling slightly, Naruto felt so happy. The smile vanished within a second and fear spread across his expression.
"I need to talk to Pein," Naruto whispered.
Both Sasori and Deidara nodded.
"Follow us," Sasori ordered, walking from the room with Deidara and Naruto close behind him.
As they reached a large, dark wooden door, Sasori knocked and then stood to the side. Pein's voice answered from within, ordering who ever it was to enter the room. Opening the door to the room, Naruto peeked inside and saw Pein sat behind a large desk covered in papers with Konan at his side.
"What is it?" Pein snapped, before he looked up to see Naruto peeking into the room.
Everyone was silent, both within the room and outside. Pein stood from his desk and walked to the door pulling it fully open and shooing Sasori and Deidara off, before kindly asking Konan to leave. Pein pulled Naruto to his side, as Konan left the room; closing the door, leaving the two 'uzumakis' alone.
"How are you feeling?" Pein asked.
"Fine..." Naruto answered, not sure what else to say.
"Your father was my cousin's cousin, we shared the same great, great grandfather," Pein told Naruto.
"I could of dealt with just knowing we are distantly related," Naruto replied, letting his eyes wander around the room.
It took a second, for Naruto's eyes to catch on to a dis-coloured picture of Minoto pinned up on the wall. Pein's eyes followed Naruto's gaze and stopped at the picture, causing him to sigh in sadness. Causing him to turn a frame towards Naruto; Pein released the frame letting it sit on the edge of the desk.
"That's my dad," Naruto whispered, the same picture in the frame.
The picture in the frame was twice as large as the one on the wall, in the picture Minoto was at the left with a forest behind him. Picking the picture from the desk, Naruto looked into the background seeing a man similar age to his father in the picture standing in the back of the picture.
"Who is in the back ground?" Naruto asked.
"Me," Pein answered.
Looking more closely at the image, Naruto could see how similar the two boys looked and set the frame gently down on to the desk.
"What are you going to do with me?" Naruto asked.
"I would let you go, but you are so unstable," Pein replied.
"I'm not staying," Naruto told Pein firmly.
"And I am not letting you leave this place," Pein replied, the slight anger clear in his voice.
