Chapter 6-A disturbing finding-
--A week before the Finales—
"Hey old man, you wanted to see me?" asked Konoha's number one hyperactive, knuckleheaded, unpredictable shinobi by the name of Naruto Uzumaki. If the 'Old man' or better known as the Sadaime, didn't have such a serious problem on his hands he would have laughed at Naruto's antics.
" Yes Naruto I did. There was some rather interesting information I received and I was hoping you'd be able to give me some more."
"You want that brat to help you?" said a new voice that belonged to none other than the (A.N: drum roll please) ever perverted sanin Jiraiya.
"What are you doing here ero-sannin?" growled Naruto.
" Listen baka, you better start treating me with some respect." He snapped back.
" Yeah right, the day that I show you respect will be the day you stop peeping in women's bathhouses."
"Jiraiya, do you have anymore information for me?" interrupted Satorbi.
" Just a little and that's a miracle since practically nobody has any idea if it even exist."
" Hey, hey what are you talking about?" asked Naruto
" Jiraiya has been gathering information of the other tailed beast. A little less than a year ago he came across some information about a container carrying four tailed beast."
"WHAT? FOUR, you mean like the Kyubi? But wouldn't that make the vessel super strong or something?" asked Naruto frantically.
" We don't know kid. For all we know the whole thing can be a big hoax or something. But the information I got seemed pretty realistic to me." Replied Jiraiya.
"Tell us what you have, Jiraiya." Said the Hokage.
" Alright, I got my information from a monk who had an encounter with a Jinchiniki, of a lesser demon, at an orphanage. The kid was talking to a cat and was daydreaming about something. The monk was suspicious so when the cat left, the monk approached the kid and asked him what was wrong. The kid said nothing was wrong and that things were gonna start changing."
"Changing? You mean a good change or a bad one?"
" Let me finish baka." Snapped Jiraiya and left Naruto fuming.
"Any way, the monk kept questioning the kid until he started talking about something called The Demon's Heart.
---Flashback---
"The demon's heart is gonna make everything better." Said a grinning 9 year old boy.
"Demon's Heart? What demon?" asked a very frightened and concerned monk.
" All of the demons silly"
" All of the demons?" the monk echoed with fear flashing across his face.
"Yup that's right. You see the Heart is very special to the demons. It helps soothe them and makes them a home they can always go to where people can't see them or hurt them." Said the boy dreamily. The monk could only listen to the boy's words about something so profound and earth shattering that even God seemed to tremble with fear and fascination.
"The Heart is so nice to people like me and to demons. At night we can hear the Heart's voice carried by the wind, singing softly to help us sleep and every time it sings we know the Heart is safe and real. Even though the Heart is shy, it's very caring and nice. But the Heart is treated very badly." The boy frowned.
"It is?" the boy nodded darkly.
" Yeah so now I gotta get stronger just like the others. I gotta get stronger to help protect the Heart from evil people." He said to the monk.
"Is something bad going to happen?" asked the monk.
"Maybe. Nobody knows just yet but we gotta get ready. Nobody knows what's gonna happen when the Heart is found."
"So…who else is getting ready?"
"Only those who can hear the Heart crying. Only people like me and other demons. Only to those whose soul is on the verge of insanity and lost to the rest of the world."
"Oh. I'm…curious…just how bad is the Heart treated?"
"The Heart is treated very, very bad. They hurt the Heart a lot and make it cry. They say bad things to it, but they don't know how strong the Heart really is. Its not the Heart's fault it likes to help a lot." The boy paused before he took a deep breath and continued.
"The Heart is trying so hard not to get in trouble and keep everybody else safe. Some demons are already hiding in the Heart because there are so many nasty and bad people after them. The Heart doesn't want them to hurt so it lets itself get hurt for them." Tears started to fall from the boys' eyes. The monk pondered a moment before speaking.
"The Heart seems like someone very delicate and fragile. Is the Heart safe? Will the Heart be able to…keep hiding like this?"
"The Heart is...(sniff)...strong. The Heart will keep going until…(sniff)…it can't hold back anymore. All the pain…(sniff)…its going through is making it weak." The boy replied
"That's why I gotta get stronger. To protect the heart when it can't protect itself no more. That's why…that's why I gotta work hard. For the Heart." He said determinely.
"For the Heart?" The monk echoed and the boy nodded.
" For the Heart." Then the boy ran off into the woods to train. The monk stood there and watched the boy's retreating figure before walking away.
---End Flashback---
"This is very disturbing." Satorbi said.
"So…there's like an army or something getting ready? For what?"
"Baka, listen. Demons and vessels are getting ready for war. If worse come to worse and the heart or whatever gets hurt or destroyed than we could be in a shit load of trouble." Said Jiraiya.
"So what the heck does this have to do with me?…I already promised myself I wouldn't hurt my precious people when this thing started." Naruto said.
"So you already knew."
"Hehehe…well yeah. I did…sorry I tried to fool you old man."
"Do you know the Heart?"
"No, but I do have an idea who it is"
"Who?"
"…Well, I-I-I think its…Hinata…"
"You mean that cute little hyuga you like so much?" (If you don't know who said this you really need to shoot yourself)
"Yeah…Hey, wait, what did you say, ero-sannin." Jiraiya laughed while Naruto fumed.
"Naruto, if you would please tell me how you came to that conclusion." Asked Satorbi.
"Huh? Oh, right, Hinata. Well you see when she offered me her healing cream, there was this thing about her. I don't know how to put it. Its like she had this aura or something and…and its like I had this huge burden lifted off me." By now Naruto's voice had become soft.
"When she looked at me, it was like she was looking right at my soul…right at me. Not the Kyubi but me." There was a long silence before Satorbi spoke.
"Jiraiya do you think its possible for Hinata to be the Heart?"
"I don't know…its possible but than again there are a lot of possibilities."
"So now what, old man?" The Sadaime was quite for a moment, thinking hard.
"I'm not so sure right now. We may have a lead and we may not. We need more information. Jiraiya, I want you to get me more information on this subject. If one of the other village leaders get a hold of it and try to use it against us, we can be in a lot of danger."
"You got it, sensei."
"None of this leaves this room, but for now, our only lead is Hinata." Said Satorbi and his two guest agreed simultaneously.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OMG. They think its Hinata...what will they do when they find out she's really the Heart. (gasp) Oh the drama...okay I'm done.
Anyway...there you go…one freaking long chapter. Now before I forget…I need a couple more votes for either…
Naruto/ Hinata or Gaara/Hinata
The next chapter may not be as long as this one but it'll be about ¾ this much…maybe…not really sure but it will have some Gaara and Shukahu…talking and stuff.
Please review…don't be so lazy and login will ya.
