Jinchuuriki's Redemption
Hey all! This is Ryan signing in today with another chapter of Jinchuuriki's Redemption!!
Sorry it's so late btw, school caught up with me. That and my parents were literally trying to kill me over the past couple months... I love my parents, but they're soo stupid sometimes... Honestly, with how they persecute me for being on the computer, you'd think I was doing something illegal, like watching porn (i'm kind of minor, soooo.... you can see how there would be legal trouble, if it were true...)
Just so everyone knows, there is a poll on my bio right now that could change the entire course of the story! That's right, you get to choose who Yugito leaves Konoha with!
The Choices Are:
Kakashi
Jiraiya
Asuma
Hayate
Itachi
Keep in mind that this might turn into a romantic interest...
Also, I apologize for the massive lag between updates, life caught up with me, and I was a little confused as to how I'm going to make this story flow...
Lastly, I can't update til' I have at least 10 people give me their opinions, either in reviews or answer to the poll on my profile, so I apologize for the inherent shortness of this chapter.
Anyways, shall I let Minato get his turn to do the intro?
Minato: While Kushina's busy fussing over the newest flavor of dango, and Ryan's too lazy to make her punish me for a while, let's begin!
Demon talking/thinking- Raaaawr!!
People talking- "Ramen"
People thinking- 'Believe it!!'
Justus- Kanishibari no Justu
And yes, I realize that this is necessary, so here goes... I do not, and never will, own Naruto or any affiliated characters!! (Except for OC's, and original justu names)
----In the Eyes of Many----
"WHY THE HELL IS MY NEPHEW IN A COMA?!" roared an irate Yugito
"Please calm down, dear. The poor hospital staff aren't going to be able to get near him" --cue Hokage-level Kanishibari no Justu that makes the more bigoted hospital personnel hurry up in their rounds-- "And then you'll never get to see him extoll the values of ramen" a somewhat scared Hokage attempted to calm our favorite female Jinchuuriki down
"But, with the Kyuubi in him, why is he still in a coma? Where his injuries that extreme, or are the medical thingie-ma-bobs that incompetent?" said efforts seem to have been partly successful, to the obvious relief of the surrounding 'idiots'
"A combination of both, I suspect" --reintroduce Kanishibari no Jutsu--
"How long has he been in this coma again?"
"2 weeks, 12 hours, 47 minutes, and.... 33 seconds... approximately..." --mass sweatdrop... --....Creepy...--
"I REFUSE TO LEAVE THIS PLACE UNTIL HE WAKES UP!!" Yugito was apparently back to her familiar infuriated self again
"And in light of that, I have prepared a second bed in his room, complete with sheets and a mini-fridge stocked with anchovies" I guess being a Hokage, no matter how old, means that you're just that awesome all the time...
"I'm not even going to ask when you had the time to do that, so... thanks. See you when he wakes up." Yugito resolved to make sure that no one interfered in her nephew's recovery
"Ok... Well, I suppose that's all I have to say for now. Ja ne." And the oldest Hokage to ever read Jiraiya's 'literature' poofed away in a flash of fire
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------3 Days Without Ramen Later-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A pair of mysteriously bright eyes opened for the first time in what seemed like eons to see the familiar settings of a KMH room. Yup, nothing out of the ordinary except for the fact that a six year old child should never have to see the same room over fourty times in two years...
'oh well, at least there's no one else around to beat me here; just doctors and their thrice-damned metal-stick-thingies of doom... Wait a minute... there's a face looking at me, and it's not Sarutobi-jiji... it's not wrinkled enough...'
At this our favorite blond jinchuuriki proceeded to shrink even further into the blankets, screaming "HELP! THERE'S AN OLD, NEKO-WANNABE LADY HERE, AND SHE'S GOING TO EAT ME!!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------At the Hokage Tower---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well, it looks like Naruto has finally woken up... I hope the beating doesn't put him back in a coma..." an obviously pseudo-worried Hokage
His thoughts were mirrored by his ANBU Captain, Inu "Damn brat... He deserves what's coming to him...Now, back to Reiki's brave conquest..." The perverted giggles that followed further ensured that our favorite lazy enigma would be alone for a long, long time.
-----------------------Back at Kenosha Memorial Hospital------------------------------------------------------------------
'He's just sealed his fate... I'm going to enjoy his tortu- I mean... training' While thinking this, the tick-mark faded away, to be replaced by the Cheshire grin that every cat in this whole damn world seems to possess.
'Ignoring an ignorant shrimp's uninformed comments from earlier, for which he shall dearly pay' --maniacal laughter fades in and out-- "I'm not here to kill you, young one... I'm just here to see you.
"Why? Are you here to hurt me too?" If possible, the malnourished boy seemed to shrink ever deeper into the hospital bed
"Matte, matte. Don't jump to conclusions..." 'he must have been really badly attacked to change him from what should have been a carefree boy into this little turtle... We'll have fix that, won't we Nibi?'
We will...
"I was just coming to visit you... Hokage-sama told me that you had been attacked most savagely by the ignorant bigots out there. How ar-"
"Don't call them that! They're just uninformed, and besides, a future Hokage has to care for all of his people, even those he doesn't really like... Or, at least, that's what Hokage-ji says..."
'So it's true... The boy is so starved for attention, he's willing to put trust into unfamiliar adults... We'll have to fix this..."
"Do you really believe what you're saying? I mean, do you really understand what that entails?"a suddenly intense Yugito asked
"Of course I do!" the energetic blond waved his hands around to emphasize his point "It's what I'm supposed to do in life. I decided that, in order to make everyone acknowledge me, I would show them all that I'm not guilty for whatever sin my no-good parents must have committed...
"WHAT?!?" Yugito couldn't believe her ears. Naruto believed that his parents had done something wrong, and that the villagers of Konoha disliked him, even now for it... Her voice dropped to a somber low "Don't believe that for even a second. Your parents were among the most valiant people I have ever known. Neither should you believe that the villagers hate you for something you did, either as a child or in some past life." Here, Yugito attempted to embrace Naruto in a comforting hug. Key word attempted...
For as the mature(er) blond drew closer to the younger, Naruto burst into tears of pure fear. Apparently, the mental trauma from the recent attack had been especially damaging, culminating in an all encompassing fear of human contact in any form.
His voice at a terror-stricken high, Naruto began to wail, screaming for someone to save him. In a mental trauma ward not far away, another child heard the sounds of agony and started creating their own cacaphony of terrified noises.
I guess there's only one thing to do in this case Yugito suddenly thought of a plan that could reduce Naruto's terror, and might well cause the Kyuubi to attempt to help the child mentally Nibi, can you help me out here?
Sure... Just get me closer to the boy's seal, and I'll do the rest...
Unfortunately, Naruto just wouldn't let anyone near him. However, Yugito was not a high Jounin-ranked ninja for nothing, and she displayed a bit of the speed that showed just how closely she was related to the late Yondaime Hokage, manuevering closer to the panicking child and putting her hand onto his stomach, where the Sandaime had told her the seal was.
All Naruto felt was a warm, soothing sensation, not unlike the feeling experienced when a cat rubs itself against a person...
Rest, little one...
Naruto dreams were that of two gigantic beings meeting, and solemn words being exchanged in peacefull voices, while a comforting furry tail surrounded and protected him in a way no blanket had ever been able to accomplish
-------Outside of the Dream World--------------------------------------
Yugito looked sadly upon her brother's legacy, hoping against hope that the Kyuubi would be reasonable, and help her precious nephew. Maybe when he woke up, he would be willing to at least talk to her. Physical contact would obviously have to be worked on, but she swore that she would do everything in her power to help the child that slept peacefully before her.
You know, maybe I can visit the Uchiha survivors. I wonder how Fugaku's kids are doing...

(Author's Notes)-- Hey all, I'm really sorry that this took so long, and I apologize for the short length of this chapter, but I'll be sure to give you a bigger update next time...
Until then, don't forget to review!
