Naruto Misbegotton
chapter 7
Coming and going
"Neekun thats terrible!" Yakumo said in horror after Sasuke finished the recounting of the massacar of his clan by his elder brother. Yakumo reached out to Sasuke to embrace him but the younger child pulled away. " My only concern now is revenge, and for that I need your help." Sasuke told his friend. "What could I possibly do" Yakumo asked her neekun, astounded by the change in him. "Leave the village with me to train and become strong. Your the only genjutsu user I can think of that can over power my brother and his illusions." "But neekun, I'm barley half trained, how can I possibly stand up to the legendary Itachi Uchiha?" Yakumo asked. "That is why you need to come with me, to become stronger than you ever could in the village. Who knows, we may even be able to find a medical specialist to strengthen your body." Sasuke tempeted his friend with the one thing she truly desired. "I need time to think about this." Yakumo told Sasuke. "don't take to long. We need to leave the village as soon as possible."
Naruto fell flat on his back, panting from exaushtion from practicing for three hours straight. "Amazing, I never knew there were so many great jutsu that those stingy teachers never even told us about." Naruto thought as he lay there catching his breath. Hearing his stomach rumble Naruto tried to ignor his growing hunger. "I can't go to Ichirakus. After last night the old man would probably trie contacting the old man Hokage for my own good, besides, I don't have any money anyway." Hearing his stomach growl again, and feeling a hunger pang, Naruto racked his brain to find a way to appease the beast in his stomach (I couldn't resist). "Stupid guards, I bet Hinata and Sasuke are having a delicious meal at that Kurama place!" Naruto cried out loud. Then inspiration struck him. "And so will I, with my new jutsu." slinging the scroll across his back, Naruto headed off to the Kurama compound.
At the Hokage tower, the building was in chaos. "How could this have happened" the third Hokage wondered. Having come back from the scene of the fire from last night, the elderly man had found the forbidden scroll stolen. "Lord Hokage. these two have something to tell you." a masked anbu escorted the two morning guards into the office. "Lord Hokage, we believe that we saw the culprit, but he was disguised in a henge in your image." The first one said. "I see, anything else?" The old man inquired "Only that we saw the thief come in, but never come out my lord." the second one said. "That only means that the culprit came in, took the scroll, and vanished out the window" The Hokage explained. "Thank you for your information non-the-less" he said and motioned for the two to be escorted out. "The old man settled in his chair and felt the full wait of his years fall on him like a mountain. "How could I have let this happen. Naruto, if you are still alive please forgive me, and you as well fourth." a scratching at the window made the old man sit up to find pakkun, the samllest and moste intelligent of Kakashi's ninkin at the window. Opening the window, the dog jumped litghtly to the floor. "Greetings pakkun, is their an emergency?" "I guess the news hasn't reached you yet lord hokage. I hate to compound on tragedy, but last night, the entirity of the Uchiha clan save Sasuke Uchiha were slain." The Hogake fell back into his chair, certain his heart would mercifully give out. "The Uchiha, the entire clan gone" how, The Hokage manage to choke out. " The only Uchia scent other than Sasuke that I managed to find was that of Itachi Uchiha. Me and Kakashi both agree that it was Itachi that slaughtered the clan, and then left the village, since my pack mates followed his trail that far." The little dog explained "and where is Sasuke?" "His scent trailed to the Kurama compound" The dog answered. "Sasuke and Yakumo are old playmates, it is not surprising that he would seek shelter there. You said that there were two Uchia scents, as if there were others?" the old man asked. "There were two other forgien scents, that of Naruto Uzmaki, and a pleasant lavender scent I have never encountered befor," Naruto? What was he doing at the Uchia's?" The Hokage wondered. "My guess would be hiding. The compound is on the other side of the village from his home, or at least whats left of it." The dog answered. "And you might want to know, I picked up a fresher version of his scent heading toward this building, and it's strongest in this room." "I wish you hadn't told me that" the old man said regretfully. at the questioning look from the dog, the old man replied "You have just proven to me that Naruto Uzumaki has stolen the forbidden scroll."
At the Kurama compound Naruto once again marched up the path, intent on getting in to the Kurama compound this time. "Yummy food here I come" The boy thought in delight as he faced another set of guards, different from the other two. "State your name and buisness" The firts one said. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the next Hokage, now let me in" The boy demanded. "Insolent demon, get lost unless you wat to deal with the Anbu, the second snarled." "I thought you would say that." The boy said amused and formed a cross shaped seal. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" Twenty narutos appeared where one had been a moment before, and the guards were to stunned to react as the twent-one narutos pummeled them into oblivion. The Anbu ninja hiding in the tree was also slightly amazed at the feat.
Inside the coumpound, Narutos suspicions were confirmed as a veritable feast was layed out for Hinata and Sasuke as Yakumo cosiderd her neekuns offer. " Aren't you two goind two eat?" Yakumo aske her guests who mad no move to even tast the food. "I am not very hungry Yakumo-sama." Hinata answered formally. "I'm not hungry either, Sasuke said as well. "Yakumo, I need your answer now." Sasuke demanded giving her a piercing stare. Befor she could answer, the door opened revealing a young blond haired boy with a huge scroll strapped to his back "Naruto-kun" Hinata said cheerfully. "How'd you get in?" Sasuke demanded suspicouslly "With this, the blond said cheerfully swinging the huge scroll around in to show his friends. "You won't believe the jutsu that are in the thing, I used one of them to beat up the guards at the front gates." "You assualted my familys guards, Yakumo said in shock." "well it wasn't my fault. You're guards attacked me for no good reason, even though I was with Hinata and Sasuke, who they let pass by without a second glance!" the boy defended himself angrily. "He's got a point." Sasuke said. "Your guards clobberd him just for saying his name, and wouldn't let him pass, but he's actually pretty hamless." "Hey, don't talk about me like i'me some kind of dog!" Naruto said angrily, causing Yakumo to chuckle, okay, but did you kill the guards?" Yakumo asked in concern. " Of course not. All I did was knock them out and hide them in the bushes, so I guess we had better be gone before they wake up or someone finds them." "Idiot." Sasuke said in exasperation, causing Naruto to shoot him a dirty look, which was spoiled by his growling stomache. "Oh dear, you sound hungry, please you can stay at least a littel while to eat?" Yakumo requested, getting a response of a hastily shouted ikkedatoumas, followed by Naruto inhaling food like a whirlwind. "My you certainly seem hungry." Yakumo obsereved "When you spend your life wondering where and when your next meal's coming from, you eat as much as you can as fast as you can." Naruto said through a mouthful of food. "Neechan, what is your answer?" Sasuke asked again. "All right, I'll come with you, my tutor has been putting me on the question of wether I can become a ninja." "Why not, I mean aren't you some sort of genjutsu user?" Naruto asked. "My body has always been weak, and becaus of that, my tutor has been telling me I can't be a Ninja." "What a bunch of bull!" Naruto said loudly with that broas grin on his face "Sure you can be a Ninja, even with a weak body, you just need some good friends to watch your back in fight. So how about it, come with us and I'll watch your back wihle you get stronger." " Do you mean that!" Yakumo, asked amazed. "I promise, and I never go back on my word, Thats my way of the ninja." Naruto excalimed, earning an startled look from Sasuke and a look of admiration from Hinata. "When do we leave?" Yakumo asked. "As soon as I'm done eating." Naruto said and plunged back into his meal. "Hey dunce, leave some for the rest of us", Sasuke said as he and Hinata reached for there own meals.
End
How will our foursome get out of the Kurama compound, let alone the village now that Kakashi has found them?
I got a review correcting the insult sasuke uses on Naruto. To anyone else that may think of "correcting" me I am going to switch between the translation and the original Japanese on some of the language.
