Chapter the fourth
A week has passed since Naruto left the village without a word. It was a cold morning when Tsunade woke up. Her eyes are still puffy and red from crying. For the past few days she drowned herself with sake. As she tried to get up, effects of drinking too much came rushing in her body. She has massive headaches. She felt her stomach is turning upside down. She was in hell. She couldn't work properly. Every time she tried to get on with her 'loved' paper works she would drift off to her last memory of Naruto. Of course this didn't go unnoticed to Shizune, who knew everything, since Tsunade told her. Sakura also noticed that her master refused to teach her and sometimes plainly avoided her. She doesn't know what is it between Naruto and Tsunade and she really wanted to find out. The rookie doesn't have any idea on what is happening. They haven't seen Naruto for a while. Sakura didn't know about his whereabouts and the fact that he ran away.
" TSUNADE! Are you even listening?!"Koharu yelled at the blonde hokage whose thoughts were on the fox blonde.
" Wha…What?" Tsunade snapped out as she looked at the old woman. Annoyed that her thoughts of Naruto was interrupted.
" Tsunade! Where is the JINCHUURIKI?" Homura said emphasizing the latter part.
" He has a name! Uzumaki Naruto!" Tsunade yelled back. She hated that the people call him 'that'.
" Where is he?" Koharu asked.
" He's gone." Tsunade said bluntly and tried to go back to her paper work.
" What do you mean he's gone?" Homura asked slightly increasing again his voice.
" HE'S GONE! HE'S NOWHERE TO BE FOUND." Tsunade yelled.
" You mean, he ran away?!" Koharu yelled.
" Do you realize what you just did? You let him free. Our weapon?" Homura yelled.
Tsunade is losing her patience, not that she ever had patience with the old geezers. She slammed her hands on the table causing it to be smashed into pieces and release a huge killing intent that can be felt throughout the village.
" He is not a weapon!" Tsunade said in a low voice, emphasizing on each word.
" He is a human! He is like us! A shinobi that needs to be respected not taken for granted!"
" Why do you even care for him?"
" For the safety…" Koharu stuttered, she could feel that any minute she would pee in her pants.
" Safety? Of what? The village?" Tsunade looked at her like her soul in on a judgment.
" Yes, Tsunade you need to…" Homura, also feeling like Koharu.
Tsunade looked at him dead on his eyes, burning his soul to the ground.
" YOU people are disgusting! You think about the safety of the village but what about him? Did you ever think about his safety? Especially when he was still a child? He was orphaned at a young age. Abused by the villagers of this place. He swallowed all the shit you put him through but still saved this fucking village! And still you think of him as a weapon, you sons of bitches!" Tsunade said in a cold, dead serious voice.
" We didn't mean to…" Koharu stuttered again.
" You fucking people just want power. You don't care on whom you use to gain it. You of all people should uphold the will of fire. You of all people should know what is it like for people like Naruto to live. You should be the first ones to take the initiative to protect him. And you still call yourselves as elders?" Tsunade said bitterly.
" ANBU…"
As soon as Tsunade said it, four ANBU came to her command. Both elders knew what it would mean.
" We understand, Tsunade." Homura said.
" No none of you understands." Tsunade turned her back to them.
" Take them to their house…" Tsunade started. The elders expected that they would be sent to jail not to their house.
" What is the meaning of this, Tsunade-hime?" Koharu asked.
" Maybe if you contemplate on your actions you will change and help this village for the better. But I'm telling you, if you do your shit again, I will personally take off your heads. Leave." Tsunade ordered. The ANBU escorted them to the door.
" Thank you… for giving us another chance." Homura said before reaching the door.
" Naruto would have done the same." Tsunade replied and paged Izumo and Kotetsu to replace her table.
Naruto, where are you? Tsunade thought as she grasp her necklace, that was supposed to be on Naruto's.
Oi, Naruto, wake up! We have to move, let's go!
Naruto was awakened by the voice in his head. Normally he wouldn't be a friend with the monster inside him, but a certain talk made them to be.
~FLASH
Few hours after his fight with Pain and his rampage, Naruto fell into a deep sleep. In his dreams he was in a familiar place. Although he never visited the sewer he used to go for extra strength whenever he is in a dire situation. Inside was a different feeling, of course there is the feeling of hatred and darkness but there is something else, a slither of hope and light. Yes, this is place where he had a talk with his old man, his father. Naruto, walked further until he came in front of the enormous cage that holds the famous bijuu, The Kyuubi no Yoko.
Naruto
" What do you want?" Naruto answered, slightly annoyed.
You insolent brat! I am the Kyuubi. You should pay respect!
" Respect? Because of you, the village in such situation!"
You blame me for what happened when it is you humans are all the cause of wickedness and hatred.
" What do you mean?"
Hmph! Just go and leave me.
" What the hell?! Just tell me already!" Naruto insisted in his annoying but cute way.
Why should I tell you, Ningen?
" What is it with you and us?" Naruto said in a deep serious tone.
You humans are the cause of your own hatred, death and loneliness.
" Stop it with the riddles will 'ya! You know that I'm not a genius." Naruto said as he pouted and stomped his feet.
You don't need to be genius to understand every little thing. Anyway, I'll just have to tell you since we are both practically living together.
" What do you mean 'living together'? We're not a couple you know!" Naruto retorted as he made gag sounds.
Idiot! What I mean is… you know what never mind. Anyway, long before we bijuus live in peace.
" Peace?" Naruto asked while tilting his head and squinting his eyes.
Yes, peace. We bijuus have our own clans and live on our own. Also, we bijuus are practically brothers and sisters. The Rikudo Sennin created us to maintain the balance of the nature. Rikudo Sennin protected the humans from the ten tails.
" Ten tails?"
When all nine of us are combined into one, we become the ten tails. The ten tails are the most wicked and strongest. It is because of old man Rikudo peace was restored. When old man Rikudo was on his last days, he separated us and as I said before maintain the balance and peace. But that was short lived, when a certain Sharingan user invaded our den.
" Sharingan?"
Yes, long before there were two clans, known for their strength. These two families came from old man Rikudo. One family carries the power of the eyes and the other carries the strength. The families were Uchiha and Senju. It was when both families came into peace and built the village of Konoha. The people voted Hashirama Senju to be the first Hokage. Of course, Uchiha Madara, the leader of the Uchiha clan didn't like it. He created a coup but failed because even his own family didn't believe in him. In time, Hashirama and Madara fought in the valley of death. Madara used me to attack the people using his Sharingan.
" Sharingan is that powerful? Sasuke."
Sharingan is a powerful dojutsu. There are stages of sharingan. It activates when there is great danger or great grief. First to appear is one tomoe until it reaches maturity to three tomoes. Then it is said that the Mangekyo Sharingan is gained when the fully matured sharingan user kills his best friend.
" What?"
There's more. The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. It is gained if you take the eyes of your brother.
" That's impossible! Is that why?"
I don't know if duck-face knows about it.
" How did Madara found you?"
About that, when he was banished, he wandered trying to get more powerful. It was when one time when my kit got too far from our home, The Nine Mountains. He was about to go back when he came across with Madara. Of course, Madara didn't know about it but when he saw my kit spread all of his nine tails, Madara got a wing of it and captured him and forced him to show where he lives. My kit couldn't do anything, when he saw Madara's eyes; he was easily trapped on a genjutsu. We haven't trained our kit yet in advance genjutsu. Anyway, when he came back with Madara along he demanded to see the leader of the pack. When I heard that my kit was in danger, I immediately ran to my kit only to see him swimming in his own blood. I got mad and rampaged. He trapped me easily with his genjutsu and offered a deal with me. If I helped him in destroying Konoha, he would spare the life of my clan. True to my word, I accepted his offer.
In the valley of death, Hashirama freed me from Madara's hands and told me to ran to my family and protect them. When I came back, the mountains were nothing but a pool of blood of my clan. I searched for anyone alive, luckily I saw my wife but barely hanging on her life. When I saw her, the world came crashing down. I wanted revenge but when my wife told me not too, I obeyed her. I healed her wounds and told her to go onto hiding. She hid herself and the others who survived and pretended to be humans. I went back to help Hashirama because I felt that I have to since he had freed me. When I came back, Hashirama told me, that I would be in constant danger and my family. I told him that I ordered my wife and the others who survived to go into hiding. Hashirama offered to seal me in his wife. I took the offer because Hashirama promised peace and safety to my family. And he believed that someday, there would be a hero who will maintain the peace in the shinobi world.
" Whom were you sealed into?"
Your great grandmother, Mito Uzumaki
" What?"
Yes brat. Your great grandmother is the wife of the first hokage.
" What happened next?"
Well brat, I would like to tell you but it isn't in my place. There will come a time when you will try to harness my power someone will tell you.
" What the hell is that?!"
Hahahahaha! Well there is something I want to tell you.
"What is it?"
I know your feelings about the Hokage…
" Ho… How d..did you know about that?!"
I'm inside you. I know everything. I want you to go find my family.
"Why on earth I would do that?"
Because my family will help you on getting stronger and I will also train you.
"Really?!"
Yes, but you have to go to Hokage tower and tell the Hokage about the S-rank mission that the Sandaime gave you before you become a genin.
" uh.. you know I don't want to go in there yet…"
I know but your time is running out. I wouldn't be surprised if another Akatsuki will attack the people you love.
" I don't want that anymore. Tsunade blames me for what happened and I don't want that again."
Then you should take that mission. You know that she will not accept it but you have to.
" I know."
Remember that no one will come to your rescue, that's why you have to go now. The Akatsuki won't be on the move for a while and Sasuke won't hesitate to kill you.
" I know about that. I will get stronger and put an end to this. I will bring back Sasuke. And most of all, I will protect Tsunade."
Good, now when you head out, go north. Use the cloak and the mask that you will see with the scroll that mentions your mission. The cloak and mask will help you to keep your identity and leave no trails behind. Oh and the password is 'ramen'.
"What do I call you? Surely you have a name."
Kurama
~END
Naruto was on his way to the mountain known as 'The Akuma'. There he would find the survivors and the wife of Kurama. He continued on his way being careful of the people that might see or follow him.
It was already sunset when he saw a woman with a long orange hair and a kid with spiky orange hair with whisker marks just like him. He made his way to them to make his presence known because according to Kurama he would feel he found the place when he feels it's right.
" Uhmm… good evening?" Naruto said politely.
The lady looked at him. She also has whisker marks on her face. She was wearing a white dress with a black scarf around her neck. She was bare footed. She was very sexy indeed. Her eyes were jet black.
" Can I help you?" the lady asked.
" Yes, uhm… how should I say this?" Naruto scratched the back of his head thinking of a way to break the ice on her.
" Mommy, why do I smell father on him?" The young boy told his mother as he continued to smell Naruto.
" Kyofu, it's not nice to smell… well, I'll be damned." The lady also took a sniff on Naruto.
" Kit, why do you have the smell of my husband in you?" the lady looked at him seriously. She held his son near to her.
" Well, your husband, Kurama is kinda sealed into me." Naruto said.
" Kurama? You mean…" the lady was shocked.
" Yeah… weird right." Naruto said.
" Kit, bump fists with me." the lady offered her fist. Naruto bumped it and immediately they were in the sewer.
Kurama? the lady before is now transformed into a beautiful vixen. Her fur is color orange and her nine tails are fully bloomed. She has tattoes on her head that makes her magnificent and powerful looking.
Kyuumi?
Kurama, where were you? Why are you sealed into this boy?
He is Uzumaki Naruto.
Uzumaki? You mean…
Yes… anyway there are parts he still doesn't know yet as it is not in my place to tell.
It's been a long time. I never believed that you died.
I know, and I'm sorry if I haven't been in touch. It was dangerous especially this time.
I see. How are you?
" Uhmm… I'll just leave you first and catch up." Naruto said as he exited the mindscape.
Kurama told his wife about everything about the boy and just about everything she missed. Kurama also instructed her about the boy's training. Kyuumi told him about their kits and of course reminisced their first kit who died in the cruel hands of Madara. After their talk, Kyuumi led Naruto to their home and introduced him to the clan who is now growing again. And with that Naruto trained to become stronger.
TIMESKIP 12 MONTHS LATER
Naruto was on his way back to Konoha. His clothing changed again due to constant damage during training. He is now wearing an all black kimono style top (like Neji) lined with orange strips and orange spiral at the back. His hitai-ate is still tied on his forehead but his hair is a little bit longer covering it (like Minato). His is now wearing a black pants that ended just below the knees and a black shinobi sandals. He has an ivory black samurai attached on his back and his kitsune mask hanging on his side. All in all he looked handsome.
Naruto entered the village and Izumo and Kotetsu greeted him. Naruto greeted back and wondered why they aren't arresting him for being rogue. Then it hit him. Tsunade never named him one. While passing on the Sarutobi cemetery he saw Kurenai crying on Asuma's grave. He felt a pang on his heart and guilt. He knew that he wouldn't have died if it weren't for Naruto's status. He approached the grave and prayed beside Kurenai. Kurenai was shocked to see Naruto paying respect for her late lover.
" Naruto?" Kurenai asked while wiping her tears.
" Kurenai-sensei, I'm sorry if…"
" Don't… His death would be in vain if you apologized."
" I'm sorry." Naruto hung his head low.
" It's fine." Kurenai said as she stood up.
" Sensei, I want to thank Asuma-sensei." Naruto stood up as well. Kurenai looked at him but didn't say anything.
" Because of him, I got to live. And also because of him, us shinobis have the heart to fight and preserve the future and hope for peace." Naruto said as he looked at her.
" Thank you Naruto. You're right. He gave his life to protect the future." Kurenai said as she grazed her hand on the grave.
" Naruto, why did you leave?" Kurenai asked. Naruto looked at her shocked that she knew that he left.
" Because I need to get stronger." Naruto answered.
" You are strong. Why do you need to get stronger?"
" Because I don't want the village or the people important to me get killed or hurt because of me."
" I see. I will not argue with that. If it was me, I would have done the same thing." Kurenai said as she placed a comforting hand Naruto.
" Thanks sensei. By the way, your stomach was bigger than Chouji before, but now, where did it go?" Naruto asked innocently.
Kurenai let out a giggle at his innocence and with that he invited him to her house to see her son sometime. Naruto agreed and both parted ways. Naruto continued his path to the Hokage tower when someone called him.
" Naruto-niichan!" Konohamaru shouted as soon as he saw his idol.
" Konohamaru!" Naruto said, glad to see him again after such a long time.
" Naruto-niichan where have you been? I've been looking all over for you!" Konohamaru pouted.
" Hahaha. I had a mission." Naruto ruffled his favorite foster younger brother.
" Well you've gotta have some cool jutsus you can teach me. I mean I can already do the Kagebunshin and Rasengan you thought me before."
" Hahahaha of course I can teach you some. Here, take some of this chakra paper."
" What's this for?"
" Channel some chakra and see what your element is from that I can teach you."
" Okay!" Konohamaru channeled his chakra to the paper and it burst into flames and crumbled into earth.
" Well your element is fire and earth. I can teach you fire first then earth." Naruto said.
" Really? Cool. What is it? Tell me!"
" Okay. I want you to make enough kage bunshins and order each of it to take a leaf and try bursting it into flames just with your chakra like this." Naruto got a leaf and channeled chakra to it and spilt in half.
" Why did yours split in half?" Konohamaru asked.
" Because my affinity is wind." Naruto said and left Konohamaru with his clones trying to burst the leaves into flames.
~HOKAGE TOWER
Tsunade was taking a mission report from Team Gai, Kurenai minus Kurenai, Team Kakashi when the Izumo and Kotetsu barged in.
" Tsunade-sama!" both the chuunin said panting.
" What is it?" Tsunade was forced to stop whatever she was telling the people inside.
" Uzumaki Naruto has just returned in the village." As soon as Izumo and Kotetsu said it Naruto appeared.
" Yo!" Naruto said.
