CHAPTER 7
Tsunade still hadn't told the rest of team 7 about Haku, she figured Kakashi would tell them later. Kakashi would have to wait to tell Naruto later. Who knew how long Naruto would be caged up she didn't like the thought of putting Naruto behind bars. She didn't get much sleep she usually didn't so she watched the sun rise over Konoha till Naruto would arrive.
Naruto awoke careful not to wake the raven next to him. He folded the covers off of him and found his clothes and put them on. Today he was going to be barred in he sighed and made it to the front door. He slowly put his shoes on not wanting to leave this peaceful atmosphere. He slid open the door and closed it quietly. The sun was just rising making the sky a light pink and orange he let air fill his lungs as he took a deep breath. He left down the stone path to meet the Hokage. The sun had begun to rise further into the sky warming Narutos back as he arrived at the main building. The blonde began to step into the doorway but a hand stopped him. He looked to see who had stopped him from going inside and up the stairs.
"Wait here I'll get her," the tall ninja said. Why wasn't he allowed inside wasn't he just going in after? The ninja soon appeared alongside Tsunade.
"Are you ready for this?" she asked the blonde standing in front of her.
"Yeah," he gave a small nod, she motioned for him to follow her. They walked inside and up the stairs the ninja who had stopped him before was still with them. Why did he have me wait outside?
"That was pointless..." Naruto mumbled under his breath. The ninja gave him a glare but Naruto ignored it. They made it to her office and she dismissed the ninja with a wave of her hand. She looked at Naruto with sympathy in her eyes. He was irritated at her look, he didn't need sympathy this was his choice. She saw irritation come across his face. She left him standing and went into the doorway next to her desk. When Naruto didn't follow she stuck her head out and told him to come. He walked and stood behind her, she started pushing boxes aside. After a few minutes she had cleared the boxes that were in front of the wall. She started making hand signs and a symbol appeared on the wall, it glowed yellow then faded as she made the last hand sign. A part of the wall moved and folded into itself Naruto stood still unsure of what to do. Tsunade stepped into the dim light where the wall had been Naruto followed hesitantly. When they were both inside the narrow hallway the wall enclosed them in. Narutos eyes began to adjust to the dim light the walls were a dark tan color along with the floor. They began to walk down the hall they had walked for several minutes.
"How long is this hallway?" he asked in a whisper.
"Not that long...it leads to the jails cells. Why are you whispering?" she talked without looking back at him.
"You're putting me in a jail cell?" Naruto was surprised.
"Oh no it's underneath the prison cells," she said with a little laugh. They came to a stop and the hall ended abruptly. They were now in the Konoha prison they began to walk down the stone lined walls and cells. Their steps echoed as they walked and eyes peered at them from behind the bars. They made it to the end where the last few cells were when Naruto heard his name.
"Naruto?" the voices called. Naruto turned to see into one of the cells, it was Haku!
"What are you doing in here Haku?" Naruto asked as he stepped closer to the bars.
"I… " Haku trailed off. Tsunade grabbed Narutos arm and pulled him away from the bars.
"I'll tell you later Naruto..." she tugged on him.
"Tell me now," Naruto said retrieving his arm from her grip. She crossed her arms and gave a frustrated sigh. Naruto looked at her for answers, Haku sat silently waiting for someone to speak.
"He was part of the Shinda group, he was betrayed by them while they were on a mission. The mission you were on Naruto was fake it was set up by them," she looked at Haku in the cell then back at Naruto. The blonde teen looked at Haku, he knew something was up.
"What were you planning to do?" he asked Haku.
"Take some of your things and rough you guys up," Kaku said quietly.
"As if you could rough us up we are Konoha ninja!" Naruto began to get louder. Haku was angered by the blondes boasting.
"Well we they seemed to have accomplished that!" he hissed back.
"By throwing a stupid bomb, people like you are annoying!" Naruto pointed at Haku as he said this.
"People like you are pathetic," Haku gave a laugh. Naruto grabbed a fist full of Haku's shirt and pulled him to the bars.
"We're not pathetic rouges like you are!" Tsunade pulled Naruto away from Haku and told him to calm down. She looked at Haku who was now sitting on the floor of the cell.
"This doesn't look good for you," she left with an angry Naruto.
They walked till they reached the wall and Tsunade made more hand signs. The stone wall disappeared and revealed a staircase. Tsunade began to go down the spiraling stairs, Naruto became nervous with each step. As they reached the end of the staircase Naruto saw blue flooring. As they stepped out into the room Naruto was amazed at what he saw. The ceiling was curved and the walls were blue with dark blue designs on them, the space was huge. He saw on the side of the room and there was a cubby hole bigger than his apartment with bars in front of it. The cage was huge but empty which made Naruto a little disappointed what was he supposed to do?
"Can I at least get a pillow and blanket?" he looked at Tsunade.
"I'll get right on that when the AMBU get here," she gave Naruto a smile.
"The AMBUs are going to watch me?" he asked.
"Yes," she raised an eyebrow at him.
"I thought it was going to be watched by jonin or something," Naruto looked closely at the dark blue designs on the walls. There was light coming from the curved ceiling it was a circle of 9 holes. He looked up at it for a few seconds then at Tsunade.
"When was this built?" he asked taking another glance at the domed shaped room.
"Before you were even born, before I was born," she crossed her arms and looked up. Soon the AMBU appeared in front of Tsunade, she gave them a list of things Naruto wanted. When she was done listing of things she turned toward Naruto with seriousness. One of the AMBUs left and the other three took their places around the curved room. Tsunade stepped closer to Naruto and spoke as she made eye contact.
"Whatever you do don't talk to-" Naruto interrupted her.
"The nine tails," he wasn't sure how he knew this but he blurted it out.
"Yeah," she said confused. She walked over to where the bars were and waited for Naruto to walk over. He stepped inside and she closed it, she didn't lock it because she knew what was going to happen but Naruto didn't. She gave him a smile and nodded as she left in the far doorway and up the stairs. Naruto was now left to himself and the other AMBU in the room.
Sasuke awoke to a lonely space next to him Naruto left without saying anything. The raven lay in bed staring at the empty spot. He pushed himself off of his stomach and sat up, he wasn't sure what to do now. Sasuke swung his feet off the bed and retrieved clean clothes a shower would make him feel better hopefully. Sasuke stepped out of the shower and dried off dressing in his regular shorts and a dark purple shirt. He sighed and left his house with bread in his hand to snack on as he made his way to the training ground.
Kakashi and Sakura were standing at the training ground when Sasuke arrived. Everyone was early he thought it was weird as he landed in front of the two. Sakura greeted Sasuke he gave her a small nod as a response. Kakashi cleared his throat,
"Alright so I'm assuming that you both were informed by Tsunade about Narutos situation," he looked for a response. The two teens nodded almost in unison, Sakura wasn't sure how the whole thing worked but she knew it could turn bad. Kakashi spoke again,
"But what you don't know is Haku is in the jail-" Kakashi didn't stop for their reactions. "He is a rouge ninja and is part of the Shinda group, but the group betrayed him and we were caught in the middle. Their first objective was to 'rough' us up" Kakashi gave a small chuckle. The two teen took it all in then Sakura voice came,
"And to think I was nice to him!" she crossed her arms. Sasuke didn't say anything, Kakashi took that as a queue to start training.
Naruto had gotten all the things he asked for he had a nice pillow and had gotten one. He was now lying on his back with his head resting on the pillow. His gaze was on the dark blue designs around the room they were captivating to him. The sun was going down now, the light in the room had dimmed and Naruto began to drift off when he heard a voice.
"Naruto," a deep voice chuckled. Narutos eyes shot open, the nine tails was talking to him it was so soon. He didn't think it would happen this soon, was the nine tails panicking now that he was trapped. Naruto ignored the voice as he fell asleep to the calling of his name.
