Alright it's like almost 4 something in the morning. I'm freaking tired. Again, I just wanted to get this out there. I will edit it as soon as I can

"I can sense a strong chakra flow," kneeling on one knee, Kiba sniffed the ground, "Coming from that direction. Also people where here not too long ago from the fresh smell."

"Shino have your bugs scout out the direction in which the chakra flow is coming from and pick up any information you can."

Shino nodded his head, "Very well," he called out his bugs and directed them to do as Hinata instructed.

Within a few minutes Shino's insects reported back, "Three males. One is very weak, but is giving off weird chakra patterns; he is about our age. The other two give relatively normal, but strong levels of chakra. One is only a child, a very small child at that. The last one is an older male."

"That must be Naruto and Orochimaru, but who is kid…?" Hinata thought aloud.

"We'll find out when we get there," Kiba said impatiently, "I'm ready for some action."

"We cannot afford to be hasty," Shino reprimanded Kiba, "Remember who we all dealing with here."

Kiba grinned and laughed awkwardly, scratching the back of his head, "Right, I forgot."

"We have the element of surprise on our side, considering Shino's bugs are currently masking our chakra, but I don't think we should thoughtlessly head in there."

"To be honest Hinata that is our only option. This tunnel is a one-way path oddly enough. There is only one way out and one way in. There is no room for us to hide. This place was not made as fortress but rather an open area where once you find it, there are no surprises. Everything is pretty much open," Shino continued, "with that being said Kiba and you are hand-to-hand combat fighters, you two will be the ones in the front fighting off Orochimaru. I will be aiding from behind the scenes, in a matter of speaking."

Hinata nodded in agreement, while Kiba looked proudly at his chosen one. The three started down the pathway. Kiba and Hinata in the front, and Shino hid behind the two. When they reach the entrance to where Naruto was, Hinata grew very angry and sad. Naruto was shackled to the wall, blood dripping from his forehead, down his cheeks and passed his lips. The scars on his face looked as if they were reopened. His body looked so frail and vulnerable. Her chakra started to flair out of control at the sight of her human being treated this way. Her eyes met with beady, yellow ones. She clenched her fist and gritted her teeth.

"Why look Naruto, Sai we have visitors," Orochimaru covered his mouth, "Ops, forgive me Naruto," he laughed, "You couldn't look if you tried."

"Don't you people know it is rude to come to someone else's home, uninvited," Sai crossed his arms against his chest, "I think they need to be taught a lesson."

"What have you done to him?" Hinata growled at Orochimaru.

"We only teased him a little bit," Orochimaru licked the blood off Naruto's face, "He likes it rough. You should know that more then anyone Hinata dear."

"You're sick," She said in disgust.

"Poor Hinata, following Naruto all your life. Always trying to save him but only making things worse for poor little Naruto. You know it is your fault that he is so helpless. You took him from me once, but you will not do it a second time."

"Enough chit-chat," Sai pulled out a scroll, "Lets end this."

"Kiba you take care of the kid. Hinata will take care of Orochimaru. I will have your guys' back." Shino muttered, before disintegrating into a pile of insects.

Naruto could hear so many voices but couldn't make out any of them. He felt like he was dying, and maybe that was for the best he thought to himself. If he were dead, nothing else would matter. Sasu, Father. None of them would matter. He was so pathetic, unable to even move. Every inch of his body felt like it was not a part of him anymore; he had no control. He didn't even know what was going on, or how things ended up this way. He just couldn't remember anything. His eyelashes fluttered open and closed, until they finally remained closed.

A boy appeared in front of him. He was beautiful. Blonde curls rippled down either side of his cheeks, daffodils decorated his hair. His eyes were a soft, soothing blue.Naruto recognized the boy as himself, before the pain. The boy held out his hand, "Na-ru-to," the child's voice was so gentle. When he touched the child's hand, a feeling of complete calmness overwhelmed him.

"Mama and papa are waiting for you," he said.

"Mama, papa…"Naruto muttered to himself. The younger boy ran toward the two figures in the distance. Naruto followed behind him slowly. Little Naruto stood between his parents, smiling happily. They reached out for Naruto, who began to cry, "Mama, papa!" Older Naruto ran to his parents, falling to his knees; he wrapped his arms around their legs. He held them tight, crying.

"Why," he cried out, "why did you guys have go." His parents looked down at him. They both looked at each other, smiling. "We always told you that we wouldn't be around forever," his mother said softly. "But we never completely left you child." His mother smiled softly, "My little boy. You've been shutting your eyes for far too long, only remembering the past until you found it and ran away from it. Its time to wake up." His mom kissed his forehead, "all the memories you have locked away from yourself will be revealed."

Flashbacks started to replay in Naruto's head, and he remembered exactly what happened to his parents. He remembered this castle. Jiriaya. His siblings. Hinata. And above all, he remembered Sasuke the man he loved with all his heart and the man who killed his parents.

His father got down on his knees, taking Naruto into his arms, "We love you son. No matter what choice you make."

"How could I…" Naruto muttered to himself, "I could never love a man who hurt you guys."

"Naruto he needs you. He is in a very dark place. His heart has been locked away for a very long time. His feelings oppressed, and his dreams taken away from him. He was once an innocent child like you. But unlike you, he had nobody," his mother took his hands in her own, "You love him. Only you can free him. Free him from the deceit and hate that has plagued him all his life."

"Naruto," a voice he knew all to well called to him, and Naruto turned around to see Sasuke. His eyes were a dark black, loving but scared and alone. He held out his hand to Naruto. Naruto looked back at his parents who were gone and the only one left was his younger self. The child smiled; he came closer, taking Naruto's face in his hand. He kissed Naruto's eyelids, "If you don't live with your eyes open, you'll miss what is standing in front of you." The boy faded way. Naruto turned his attention back to Sasuke, taking his hand.
