Historical Bonds
Chapter 14
IN THE PAST
Hashirama had begun tracking down Madara in the direction where Masaki had believed Madara to be heading. He still didn't know what he was going to do once he found Madara. But one thing was for sure, he had to do something. Madara was a Konoha Ninja and he wanted to bring him back home. They could deal with the accusations from the Uchiha Council justly
Meanwhile Tobirama was going stir crazy "I should have gone with him…"
"He told us to stay here and protect the village, but I agree with you…" Masaki told him
"What if something happens to him? I would not be able to forgive myself!"
"So, do you believe what the Uchiha council have said about him?" Masaki asked
"Who? About Madara? I don't know, I mean I was always worried about his motives, but I didn't picture him as someone who would murder his own brother for power. They had always seem very close, kind of like Hashirama and myself" Tobirama answered
"Yeah, I never liked the guy myself, but I never pictured him as a murderer either" Masaki added
Suddenly the door open and Nami walked in, causing Masaki to smile "Hey guys, anything new?" She asked
"No nothing yet" Masaki answered
"It's been a few days now, we should have receive some kind of news, I am worried" She added
Masaki had heard enough "Tobirama, take care of the village"
"Wait, where are you going?" Tobirama asked
"I can't take the waiting anymore, I have to do something"
"But Hashirama said…"
"I know what he said, however I am still going"
"Then I am going with you!"
"NO, you have to stay here, all three of us can't all go out… Plus I want you to take care of Nami"
"Hey, who says I need taking care of…" Nami said in an upset tone
"Alright, I will make sure she is safe, just come back and make sure my brother is with you"
"Hello? I just said I don't need protection…"
"Yeah don't worry, I will be back" Masaki said as he disappeared in a flash
"Is anyone even paying attention to me!?" she said with a slight pout
Meanwhile Hashirama had arrived at a large waterfall area. He was nearing the borders of the fire nation and was wondering just how far he should go. He stopped to take a drink of water, he was looking at his reflection when suddenly he saw an extra figure behind him. He quickly turned around and found himself face to face with Madara's red Sharingan eyes "Stop fallowing me" he simply said
"Madara, come back home with me" Hashirama asked him
"No" Madara simply answered
"Look, I know that the accusations from the Uchiha council are major, but I don't believe that you could kill your own brother. As a fellow clan leader, I feel like I understand what you're going through"
"How can you understand!? Did your clan betray you? Did they use their own selfish reasons to back stab you in the back? NO! I gave that clan everything I had…I sacrificed everything for them, my own brother… He… No, I will NOT go back"
"Madara, whatever issues you have with your clan can still be resolved, if you just return with me. I will make sure you get a chance to defend yourself"
"No, it is too late for that, the Uchiha clan will suffer for their actions" Madara said with eyes full of hatred
"I can't allow that to happen, as much as I don't agree with what they did, they are citizens of Konoha. And I will protect them" Hashirama answered
"Then all of Konoha will need to pay for their crimes then, you are foolish to protect them. They will betray you the first chance they get!"
"I will deal with that IF it happens"
Madara and Hashirama continued to stare at each other, Madara finally took out his blade "This is your last chance to go back, I suggest you take it"
Hashirama took out a blade of his own "Sorry Madara, as much as you don't want to admit it, you are a Konoha Ninja and I will bring you back home"
"You're the leader, shouldn't you be leading your people rather than chasing after me!?"
"As I already said Madara, you are part of those people…"
"Fine, I tried to warn you" Madara said as he launched an attack that clashed with Hashirama's blade
PRESENT TIME
It had been another few days and Naruto had had a bad night. Although he was able to sleep he didn't feel rested. He walked up to the bridge with a cup of coffee, Itachi was at the helm "Good morning Hokage Sama" He said greeting him
"Morning Itachi, how are things up here" Naruto asked as he sat down and looked outside
"Good my lord, it looks like another sunny day, the sea is also calm and the breeze is nice" Itachi answered
"Good, let's hope this type of weather continues" Naruto said as he took a sip of his cup, he then saw Sakura run out from under the deck to the side of the ship, she was vomiting over the side
"What's wrong with her?" A voice came from behind, both of them turned around to see Shizune
"Don't know, must be sea sickness or something" Naruto answered
"Sea sickness? Sakura doesn't have motion sickness, she was good at keeping her food in during Lady Tsunade's training and trust me that's worst then the ship rocking we have had so far" Shizune answered back
"Well, She did say something about never having motion sickness before now, but it keeps happening"
"Well, I guess I could give her a check up to see if something else is causing it"
"Good luck with that, you know how she is…" Naruto said knowing that Sakura did not like being a patient; it was something all doctors had in common
"Yeah, I know, but don't worry, I know how to deal with Sakura" Shizune said with a smile as she walked down from the bridge to the deck where Sakura was still standing over the edge of the ship, Naruto could see them talking
"Sakura, how are you doing?" Shizune asked
"Not so good… None of my medicine for motion sickness is working, I don't get it"
"Sakura, we both know that you don't have motion sickness. You have been on countless ships before, and do I need to remind you of your training with Lady Tsunade? Not once did you throw up or vomit"
"Then what else could it be" Sakura asked and wondered
"I don't know…But have you considered morning sickness?"
Sakura was shocked, she had never even thought of that, yet it made sense. She was only sick during the morning and it would normally wear off as the day progressed, she then began to recall the last time she and Naruto had made love, and it was just over a month ago. The date would fit the time when she should start having the morning sickness, but could it really be possible?
"Just come with me, we can do a check up on you and confirm it or not" Shizune said with a smile
Sakura was still in shock at the possibility and simply nodded as she followed Shizune down into the lower decks
Naruto was puzzled "What did she do or say? Sakura followed her without even saying a single word, did Shizune drug her?!" Naruto wondered; unaware of the possibility of being a father again.
Meanwhile back home
"So you understand the plan?" Danzo asked Sasuke
"Yes Danzo Sama… But I don't know if it will work. The scroll states…"
"I know what the scroll states, but there will be no real attack, no one will be hurt. We just need to rattle the council a little bit and force them into making a few decisions "Danzo said with a grin
"I see…" Sasuke was appalled with himself, he wanted so much kill Danzo but he knew that he no longer had any choice. For as long as that seal was there he was Danzo's puppet
"Then here is one of the veils, head out and wait for my signal" Danzo said as he handed over one of the ten veils with Naruto's blood that was needed to summon the Kyuubi. Sasuke reluctantly took it and shoved it into his pocket, he then reluctantly bowed at Danzo before moving out
Another one of the ROOTS ninja's approached Danzo "Danzo Sama, do you think that he can be trusted?" He asked
"He has no choice, but keep an eye on him anyway" Danzo answered
"Understood Danzo Sama" He said bowing his head as he headed out to follow Sasuke
At the same time, Kakashi had reached the council chambers. They had granted him an audience "Hatake Kakashi, you may now speak with the council" A man said allowing him in
He wasted little time in entering the chambers "Something has happened to Hokage Sama, I went to the mansion today and found it completely empty, the door was left wide open and everyone, including Naoto was missing"
"The Hokage is not currently in the village, he and Lady Sakura along with a hand full of our elite Ninja's are on a top secret mission. Naoto has been left in Sasuke Sama's care" One of the council members answered him
"Then why was the door left wide open, where is Sasuke and Naoto and how do you explain this!" Kakashi threw Sasuke's Katana and an empty needle on the desk of the council.
They were all in shock, Sasuke would never leave his weapon behind and what was that needle?! "Have someone search for Sasuke Sama right away; he may have been attacked" One of the council members stated
"And what about Naoto?" Kakashi asked
"If they took Sasuke, they may have taken her as well, for all we know they were sent to kidnap her for ransom. Everyone knows that the Hokage would do anything for her"
"Then I will join the search party" Kakashi stated as he began to walk out of the room
"We must find out what happened, if something were to happen while the Hokage is away, it could be a catastrophe"
Meanwhile, not far from the Hokage mansion, barely a block away, a small pink haired girl was crying. A young girl who was passing by stopped "Hey there little one, where is your mommy or daddy?" She said picking up the crying child and looking around for her parents, but she could find no one to claim her "How could someone leave a baby alone on the streets like this, she is so cute too. I bet your hungry, right?" The girl asked with a warm smile as Naoto continued to cry "Alright, first, I will bring you home so I can feed you, then we can see about finding your parents" She said as she carried Naoto away.
End Chapter 14
Well another chapter done, Madara and Hashirama are about to fight that historical battle that will give the region its name as well as those two stone statues that will be built to remember it, and that a few centuries latter, the same type of battle in Sasuke and Naruto will take place. Is Sakura pregnant again? Or is it a false alarm? What is Danzo up too? and who the hell does that girl think she is taking off with Naoto :(
Hope it was a good read for you guys, thanks for your support.
