Thanks for all of the reviews again. I enjoy reading them, and I loved the feedback. I did realize Naruto did submit somewhat quickly, and I was worried about that too. However, I didn't feel it was too bad because Sasuke is threatening to kill Naruto's family if Naruto does not do what Sasuke wants him to. But I understand where you're coming from on that. I will try to make my story different, and I'm winging it as I go so that's part of the problem. I didn't think people would actually be interested. However, I will try to make it as different as possible. Soo yeah. Without further adieu, the 5th chapter…

"Konohamaru," a little girl said in a singsong voice, "ohhh Konohamaru."

Konohamaru sat on a wooden stool; he stared out at the castle. It had been a few weeks since he last seen Naruto. He didn't like it. Whenever he thought of the prince doing whatever he pleased with his brother, he got this sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"Konohamaru," a small hand waved in front of his face. The boy blinked a few times, bringing his attention to his sister. Two ponytails propped on the top of her head and a blush settled on her round cheeks.

"Konohamaru when is Naru-chan coming home?" she asked sadly.

Konohamaru bit down on his bottom lip, looking down, "I don't know Moegi," he said as teardrops fell from his eyes.

"Don't cry," Moegi said genteelly, "Naru-chan would never abandoned us," a big smile spread across her face, "Naru-chan promised remember?"

"She's right," a boisterous voice reverberated throughout the room, "Naruto will be back."

Konohamaru glared at his dad, while Moegi ran up to him, "Papa!"

"This is all your fault," Konohamaru yelled, "Naruto wouldn't be gone if it wasn't for you."

Jiraiya patted Moegi's head and kneeled down, "Udon needs help. He's out in the backyard. The cat is on the roof again and won't come down. Think ya' can handle it?"

Moegi smiled brightly giving her dad a thumbs up, "Sure thing," she said running off.

"Konohamaru. I know you're upset, but we agreed to keep this from Udon and Moegi," Jiraiya scolded, "I know it was my fault, and that's why I'm going to fix it."

Konohamaru sniffed and wiped his nose, "How?"

"It's a secret," Jiraiya said winking, "now cheer up. I will get Naruto back"

Konohamaru nodded. Jiraiya never lied to them, and he was sure there was nothing his dad couldn't do. Jiraiya was his saver so was Naruto. Moegi and Udon's as well. They were war orphans; Jiraiya and Naruto saved them. Konohamaru ran outside happily.

Jiraiya sighed and scratched the back of his head. He honestly had no idea how he was going to bring back Naruto, but he was determined to do so. The palace was no place for Naruto. It was way too dangerous. He feared people would start to recognize him…

-At the Castle-

Naruto concentered hard on the object in front of him. Colors faded in and out, purples and blues. He squinted his eyes even harder, but he only lost his focus even more, "Shit," he cursed banging his fist against the wall.

"Naruto-kun," Hinata said, "Maybe you should try again later."

Naruto sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Damn Jiraiya," he said through clenched teeth, "he couldn't have chosen a better time to have gotten caught."

"Naruto-kun what are you trying to do anyway?"

"I'm trying to see, well not in the usual sense, " he said, "I'm trying to use chakra to shape the things around me. I'll only be able to see shapes and shades, but my dad was still trying to teach me; I never learned"

"You're thinking to hard Naruto-kun," Hinata said, "you have to feel it," she tapped different parts of his body, "There are 361 chakra points located on our bodies. The places I touched and more. You have to feel each atom and focus on it through those channel gates. Not with your head."

Naruto nodded his head; he closed his eyes taking a deep breath. He opened his eyes again; he focused on the rushing feeling of chakra. The colors started to form a shape. He looked around him; other shapes started to form as well. Naruto jumped up, "YES!" he yelled out.

He hugged what he was pretty sure was Hinata; he couldn't see what she looked like. It was just an outline of her body. Her eyes were admitting a darker blue chakra source. Hinata blushed and smiled.

"You did it Naruto-kun."

"Thanks to you," he said, "Demo…how do you know this?"

"My family," she said quietly, "the Hyuuga's bloodline limit, Byakugan."

Naruto looked confused, "What is that?"

"It allows us to see at a 360ºangle, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck," she whispered, "but we are banned from using it. If we are caught, we will be killed. We can only use it to aid the king-"

"Hinata," a voice emerged from the shadows, "that is enough." Hinata gasped and covered her mouth, "Kakashi-sama," she said bowing, "forgive me."

"You're lucky I wasn't somebody else. Y'know you're not suppose to speak of such matters," Kakashi warned.

Hinata nodded her head and turned her attention back to Naruto, who was looking at Kakashi.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked.

Kakashi smiled, "Your body guard, while the prince is away."

"Away where?" Naruto questioned.

"I do not have that information. He just ordered me to watch over you, while he was away," Kakashi replied, "he will be back within two weeks."

Naruto frowned a little, "Were you here the whole time?"

Kakashi just smiled playfully not replying. This annoyed Naruto.

"Hey," Naruto said, "did you hear me?"

"Naruto you need not concern yourself with me. I am not your enemy. Carry on as you were," Kakashi said fading back into the darkness. Naruto could no longer sense his chakra.

Naruto and Hinata once again started to chat happily; however, they were more cautious about what came out of either of their mouths. A few hours passed, and Hinata had to leave. She promised to return again. However, with Hinata gone, Naruto felt the bigness of the room suffocating him. Now that he was able to see, somewhat, he was less frightened, but he was still lonely. He actually hoped Kakashi was still there.

Naruto hated being alone; it left him time to ponder things, which he wasn't too fond of. He thought about his parents, Sasuke. He thought about his siblings, hoping they were okay. Stupid Jiraiya; he walked to the bed and flopped on it.

"Naruto," a woman called out to the young boy. Naruto hid in the flowerbed; he tried to suppress his laughter by covering his mouth. The flower tickled his nose, and he sneezed a little. Naruto squealed, when he felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his waist and twirl him in the air.

"Daddy," Naruto cried out happily. The man held the child in his chest.

"Kitsune" His father said smiling, "messing with your mother again."

Naruto shook his head from side to side, "No," he said grinning.

"Naruto, there you are,"Kushina said putting her hands on her hips, "I've been looking for you."

She walked up to her husband and kissed him, "We missed you while you were away," she said. Naruto covered his mouth and scrunched up his nose, "Eww gross mom."

His parents looked at their child and started laughing. Naruto suddenly looked sad; he looked at his father, "Dad…why can't I go with you on your trips?"

Minato sighed and ruffled Naruto's hair, "In time Naruto…"

The next image was his parent's lifeless bodies. Naruto flipped on his side; he hated remembering. It only made his chest hurt and eyes burn. He couldn't think of his parent's smiling faces without seeing them dead. He covered his eyes with the back of his hand. His anger suffocated him; he had vowed to kill the one who killed his parents. However, several years had passed; he didn't even know what kid would look like. He did know the boy was still alive; he felt it.

While Naruto was trying to forget the past, Itachi was researching it. Itachi knew Naruto was definitely the boy from that time. No one else would have those scars on their face. Orochimaru made them for that purpose. Itachi concluded that Naruto or somebody close to Naruto must have put a seal jutsu to hide the markings on his stomach. After all, if it were discovered that Naruto is a jinchūriki, he would be killed. Itachi smirked; he wondered how both boys would feel if he spilled the beans. Surely, it would be interesting, but Itachi did not plan on sharing this with either boy just yet. Despite his dying interesting to know how Naruto would feel knowing Sasuke was the one who killed his parents.
