White Lies

Chapter Four

Time to Run

XxXxXxX

The reality of everything fell hard onto Naruto's Head. They had to leave Konoha. They had to leave now. He was supposed to be the next Hokage, his dream was going to come true, and it was going to happen with Sasuke by his side. Now it was over, because his dream was never real. This village was a lie.

Even though he was leaving, running away. He was going to come back. He was going to make this village as it should be. First he had to retreat and regroup. Ideas began to fly through his mind, his thoughts seemed to have gone off on their own. Then he realized the ideas weren't his. His bond mates were aware of everything he was thinking and were suggesting solutions.

One idea stood out among the other and it had a tint of red chakra that was distinctly Kyuubi. Naruto knew where they had to go, he knew what they had to do. All for men stood up and in unison began packing only the essentials.

'Naruto'

A warmth like nothing he had ever felt flowed through Naruto's mind and heart. It was like he was drowning in Sasuke's love. Just his name being whispered in his mind was enough to make Naruto want to stop and jump his boyfriend.

'Now is not really the time for that.' Sasuke's smooth, deep voice whispered in his mind. There was an edge of humor tinted with desire laced through the words.

Naruto knew that Sasuke was feeling the pull. The bond wanted them to physically join the same way they are now mentally joined. Unfortunately there was no time. Each bond mate reappeared in the main room with a rut sack over their shoulders and a determined faces.

Just as they were about to leave Naruto felt an over whelming sense of guilt. How could he leave all these people here unaware of the possible danger? A hand landed on his shoulder and Naruto knew it was Kyuubi before he even turned around.

'We will be back for them. We will overturn this system.' He reassured.

Narutos heart jumped, 'what about Tsunade? Isn't she in the most danger?'

Kyuubi nodded.

'She left for the cloud today. I heard the guards talking about it… but you know that now. We should go to her first, then to Youkai no Yobi' Kyuubi found it odd that everyone here knew what he knew… talk about a new level of closeness.

The group filed out of the small apartment and locked to door. They quickly and silently made their way to the gate of Konoha. They were hoping to slip out between guards but that plan was foiled the moment they approached. It was just their luck that Shikamaru was on duty. That boy never mossed anything even when he was sleeping on the job.

Shikamaru casually jumped down from his post on the wall surrounding the Village. He gave a lazy smirk to Naruto and Sasuke, his eyes obviously catching their linked hands. He eyes became more concerned and questioning when they landed on the two demons.

"What are you four up to? Late night lovers stroll?" he joked lightly.

Naruto gave a nervous laugh. "No nothing like that. Hehe…"

Sasuke shot his boyfriend an exasperated look. 'Terrible liar' he thought to the group.

"We are going to meet the Hokage on her return Journey from the cloud to ensure her safe return." Sasuke said smoothly and without a waver in his voice.

Shikamaru stared at him for a long moment before nodded slowly.

"OK, go find her. The whole thing with the cloud was suspicious." He stood back to let them pass.

Without any more hesitation the group of four ran out of the village. They ran until there was enough distance for Kyuubi to transform. The three remaining humanoids climbed on his back and they took off at incredible speed, but still running.

Past the forest and out of the trees. They ran until they were able to see the village of the cloud on the horizon. They were no longer running on the ground, but through the air.

Kyuubi came it a sudden stop, almost throwing his passengers off his back. They could all smell what the fox smelled, their senses were being shared as seamlessly as their thoughts. It smelled like Tsunade. Everyone began scanning the ground for their Hokage.

"There!" Naruto yelled while pointing to a spot of blond and green on the hard stone ground. Kyuubi swept down and landed only a few feet away.

"Tsunade!" Naruto yelled as he ran towards the prone woman. He dropped to his knees next to her still body. He ignored what the others already knew… what he knew. He reached out and put his hand on her cool arm to shake her.

"Tsunade" he said quieter.

Her eyes continued to stare upward. Her diamond was just a bloody hole.

Naruto fell quiet, his mind was completely quiet for the first time since the bonding, as the others slowly gathered around. No one needed to speak, they all knew there was nothing to say or do. They had planned to run, to leave and gather allies. Now they would have to go back.

The cloud left her here as a declaration of war. War they would get.

Narutos head whipped to the side to look at Kyuubi.

"Garra." They said together. Karasu put his hand on Naruto shoulder.

"You take Tsunade home, Sasuke and I will cut off Garra before he gets here."

No words passed, just the understanding that this was how it was going to happen. Naruto turned back to his dead friend. He wanted to cry but couldn't. Through all the sadness anger prevailed. He would cry when it was all over, when he was done being angry.

Thoughts from all his bond mates flew through his mind, but one thought repeated.

'What did this?'

None of them knew.

Kyuubi sniffed the air, he walked around the immediate area and stopped by a small hole in the ground and knelt. With his clawed hands he dug until he pulled up a misshapen ball of metal. He went back to Naruto and held it out on the flat of his palm. His bond mate reached out and took it. It smelled like Tsunade's blood. It rolled around in his palm, it had a slight mushroom shape. How did this tiny ball of lead kill someone as strong as Tsunade? She was the strongest person he knew.

Naruto reached out and put his hand over his Hokage's eyes and slowly closed the lids. He put the ball of metal in one of his vest pockets. This was not just a tragedy of happenstance… deep down Naruto knew this had something to do with the corruption in his home. He was not just going to war with the Cloud, he was going to war with Konoha. He would take Tsunade back to her trees and then he would burn them to the ground.

Kyuubi put his hand Over Naruto's which still over Tsunades eyes.

"You know…" he made Naruto meet his gaze. "You know that the four of us together are powerful enough to do it."

Naruto nodded. "I know."

Kyuubi nodded back. "After the others get back and after we take Tsunade home. We will go to Youkai no Yobi and we will take it as our own. We will use the power we have to burn everything to the ground."

"Can we do that?" Naruto asked, his voice broke. "I know we have the capability, but should we? We are not Gods."

"The cloud and the council seem to think they are Gods. If they act like they are then we will show them the closest thing to a real god's power they will ever see." Kyuubi tightened his hand as he spoke and pulled it from the dead woman's face. "We will start by taking Yobi and bringing down the power of devils on Konoha, then we will come here and end whatever it was that did this." He looked at Tsunade as he finished talking.

Naruto squeezed his hand.

"OK."

A/N- sorry it short….
