(Hey people! I know that I haven't updated for a while but don't worry I don't plan on giving up this fic. I took the SAT and due to various things that has my signature on it I can't tell you what was on it but I can say that it's was one of the hardest test I ever had to take. I'm still searching for a job but I don't think that I'll be able to get one anytime soon, also I'm looking at colleges with great writing programs. Oh one other thing…….)

(Kung He Fat Choy!)

Hey people! Remember when I said this chapter might be rewritten? Well yeah I decided that I'm going to rewrite it so…. I hope you're not too mad with and how I'm constantly rewriting my chapters…. Anyway I haven't been able to update because my internet went all funky and I was only able to get it to work just now. I plan on updating a new chapter sometime tomorrow or the day after so look forward to it!

"Talking"

'Thinking'

'Voices in Sasuke head/ inner Sakura'

"Bijuu speaking"

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

A stunned and slightly awkward silence fell over the shop, everybody was shocked including Teuchi and Ayame since neither of them knew about Umiko and Naruto promise to each other. Naruto was blushing beat red and staring a hole into the floor. Sasuke stood frozen with his eyes opened wider as the only thing showing his shock. Sakura had fallen out of her seat and was now sitting on the floor with her mouth wide open, but Kakashi, Kakashi had been so shocked that he had dropped his Icha Icha and hadn't even bother to pick it up. Umiko looked the most calm of the group and was only blushing slightly.

The silence seemed to stretch on forever, you could have heard a pin drop (but considering that this was a ninja village were the average ninja was able to hear a pin drop during a storm, that wasn't so quiet after all) then Naruto opened his mouth and and chaos ensued.

Umiko wasn't entirely too sure how telling Naruto teammate their promise would have effect them but silence wasn't it. Naruto was blushing beat red and as much as she didn't want to admit it he looked kind of cute. His teammate the Uchiha was staring and Haruno was sitting on the floor with her mouth wide open. His sensei had dropped his book and was staring at her, oddly enough it seemed like his wasn't seeing her but more like remembering something else. Umiko noticed that Naruto was the first to recover and prepared herself from the unavoidable and deafening outburst that was coming, and boy was it a deafening. She vaguely saw both Teuchi-san and Ayame-chan leave the shop with their hands over their ears.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU TELL THEM?!" he screamed at her. It seemed as if Naruto yell had shocked all of his teammates back to action because, before she could think of an answer they all started yelling (okay maybe not Sasuke and Kakashi but you get the point.)

"What the hell do you mean marry!?"

"Why would you marry the dobe?"

"When did you make this promise?"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"When are you getting married?"

"Are you planning on getting married now?"

Umiko was really starting to get really pissed off. First her ears were still ringing from Naruto earlier yell, second she was getting a huge head ach from said yell and his team mates asking all these questions were only making it worse; and third Naruto team mates were staring at her like she had grown a second head.

"Shut the fuck up!" She roared out and was slightly amused when they were shocked into silence. She took a deep breath and wondered briefly if all of Naruto friends were going to react like this (assuming that he has friends….she really hoped he does) before continuing.

"Now, one at a time please."

"Why the hell did you tell them?!" No guessing who that was. She mentally sighed to herself but knew that he wouldn't get it unless she explained it to him.

"I had no choice but to tell them because there was no way that I could have out run them. Or did you forget that I'm a civilian and most likely wouldn't be able to out run a ninja, never mind your jounin sensei." She watched as his shoulders slumped as her logic got to him and mentally prepared herself for the onslaught of questions that she had a feeling that she was going to have to answer. She didn't really mind answer their question but she wasn't sure what she could and couldn't tell them, she wasn't entirely too sure how close they were to Naruto.

"Ja, when did you make this promise?" Sakura asked her curiosity showing on her face.

"We made it shortly after his seventh birthday."

"Alright, what exactly is this promise?" Kakashi asked after picking up his Icha Icha. Smart man he's looking for every angle of this promise, what for was beyond Umiko but she saw no problem in telling him.

"We promised that when we both reached our goals we would become a real family."

"Naruto hasn't reached his goal, he's not Hokage." Sakura stated looking a little confused.

"Whoever said that was his goal?"

"Well if that's not his goal what is then? And how do you know if he reached his goal?" Sasuke asked

"I know because we made an unbreakable vow." Umiko knew that she hadn't answered the Uchiha question but she didn't care. She watched slightly surprised when Kakashi dropped his book again. "You know what an unbreakable vow is then?"

"I've only heard of it in rumors but I know what they are."

"What are they sensei?" Sakura asked turning to Kakashi.

"An unbreakable vow is exactly as it name suggest, an unbreakable vow. If either one of them broke the vow they would both die." Kakashi explained while running a hand through his hair while picking up his book again.

Sakura looked shocked again and even Sasuke seemed stunned. Sasuke was the first to recover.

"That doesn't explain how you would know if the dobe had achieved his goal."

"Actually it does, when one makes an unbreakable vow they are bound by it no matter what. So when one person completes their part of the vow the others will be able to feel it." Surprisingly Naruto was the one to answer that question.

"Well what was his goal anyway?" Sakura asked. Umiko looked at Naruto who was looking back; she waited knowing that this was something she could only tell if he said it was okay. Naruto stared at her for a very long time before glancing at his teammates his gaze staying on Sasuke the longest before nodding.

"Naruto goal was to find out why the village hated him and become strong enough to protect me from them." Umiko watched as understanding seemed to dawn on them and realized that as Naruto team they must have known a few things about Naruto. Still she wondered just how much they knew about him and how much they didn't.

"Well if Naruto reached his goal then what about you?" Sakura asked, Umiko was finding out quickly that Sakura was the conversationalist of the group and decided to answer.

"My goal is still very far away so I don't think that I'll tell you that just yet." Sakura looked like she was going to demand an answer when Sasuke intervened.

"Why does the village hate the dobe?" everybody turned to look at Sasuke. "Well you said that it was part of his vow and the fact that you're here means that he know right?"

'That's right, if Naruto fulfilled his part of the vow then it would mean that he knew why he was hated by the village.' Umiko almost smacked herself for not realizing that in the first place.

"Naruto, why does the village hate you?" Umiko asked.

Naruto stared at them as his face rapidly drained of color, the only one who didn't look curious was Kakashi who had gone back to reading his book. He looked at them, then looked away and was now looking for a way out again, Umiko decided to take action.

"Naruto, please tell us… if not us then please at least tell me… onegai Naru-kun." Umiko knew she was playing dirty with her pet name for Naruto but she really wanted to know why he was as hated as he was. Konoha would survive or not depending on the answer. Naruto looked at Umiko and his shoulder slumped before he turned to look at Kakashi who only shrugged before giving a loud sigh and answering.

"We're going to need to go see baa-chan." He turned around and walked out of the shop leaving behind three very confused teenagers and one slightly worried adult.

Naruto could have killed Sasuke. He just had to bring that up didn't he? Naruto really didn't want to tell Umiko about fuzzy, he wouldn't know what to do if she rejected him as well.

"Naruto, please tell us… if not us then please at least tell me… onegai Naru-kun." Umiko whispered.

Shimatta, Naruto felt trapped. No one had called him Naru-kun except her and when she said it, it brought back so many happy memories he was starting to feel guilty for trying to hide it from her. His panicked mind calmed down a bit and he turned to his sensei to see what he had to say about this. Kakashi merely shrugged and Naruto stomach plummeted, with a sigh he realized that he was not going to get out of this.

"We're going to need to see baa-chan."

Sasuke was starting to get really confused. Then again everything about Naruto was confusing. Every time Sasuke thought that he knew Naruto, Naruto did something that completely changed his opinion of him.

Like finding out that the dobe was engaged to some unknown girl.

Like finding out that the engagement was made via unbreakable vow.

Like finding out that breaking the unbreakable vow would result in death.

Like finding out that the dobe had apparently become strong enough to protect said unknown girl.

'Then again he did beat Gaara'

'Who you couldn't beat.'

'Shut up' that voice in his head was really starting to piss him off and his shoulder was starting to hurt again. Sasuke was starting to realize just how little he knew about the dobe and it was frustrating him to no end.

'He was supposed to be the ramen loving, Hokage wannabe, no talent idiot.'

'Yet your brother went after him instead of you, he even said that he wasn't interested in you.'

'Shut up!' Sasuke was realizing that he really hated that voice in his head. Even if it gave him a whole lot of power it left him completely drained. Not to mention the intense pain that he had to deal with before and after using said power, he was starting to wonder if it was really worth it. As he thought about this, his mind turned to Naruto who also seemed to have some sort of power source like that red chakra he had used on Gaara. Then something seemed to click in his head.

'Itachi was after Naruto because of that red chakra, not Naruto himself.' Sasuke found himself a bit disturbed by this revelation; after all he had gotten his curse seal from that creepy snake Orochimaru (yes Sasuke had figured out that the voice in his head was connected to the strange new power he felt at times.)

' Does this mean that Naruto also gets his power from some sort of seal? If so, what kind of seal and is it anyway connected to the reason why the villagers hate Naruto?' Sasuke was starting to see that the more answers about the dobe, the more question would come with it and it was annoying him to no end. Sasuke decided that he would do everything he could to find out more about the dobe despite what a certain little voice in his head said otherwise.

So Sasuke could barely stop himself from punching the wall when Naruto asked both Sakura and him to wait in the hallway while he, Umiko, and Kakashi talked to the Godaime.
