Historical Bonds

Chapter 17

The fallowing event happens shortly before Akio goes out to inform Naruto and Sakura about Naoto

PRESENT TIME

Danzo was in his office as one of the men who had captured Sasuke walked in "You wished to see me my lord?"

"Yes, what did you do with the Hokage's daughter?" He asked him

"We left her behind my lord; your instructions were only to bring Sasuke"

"She can be of use to ROOTS, as a Namikaze she has access to the Kyuubi's powers. If we raise her and bring her up as a ROOTS member she could be a very powerful pawn, I want you to return and bring her back here"

"Yes my lord" The ninja said bowing before leaving

"With the Namikaze's power under my command, nothing will be able to stop me" Danzo said laughing

Akio was walking towards the Hokage's mansion. He had to admit, he was going to miss that little pink haired girl and he knew Rei was going to have a hard time getting over it as well. She was so loving and caring but that's what he loved about her, in addition to her beauty. Perhaps it was time that they had kids of their own. Akio was coming up on the large mansion; he walked up to the door and found some ANBU ninja guarding it, suddenly 2 more ANBU ninja's had appeared behind him and the one at the door approached him "Who are you and what is your business here!" the man behind the mask asked him

"Uh..I am Takahashi Akio; I am here to see lord Hokage..." Akio said slightly nervous, he had never been face to face with an ANBU before, much less been surrounded by them

"What is your business with the Hokage?" the man asked again as he took out a Kunai from his weapons pouch

Akio had heard stories about the ANBU being the elites of the elites. However, he had never heard of them being this aggressive, especially towards fellow Konoha shinobi "I only wish an audience with lord Hokage Sama" Akio didn't like these men and felt something was wrong

"The Hokage isn't available right now, if there is something you need to talk about, speak about it with me and I will convey the message to him"

"No, it's not that important, I guess I will return some other time when Hokage Sama isn't busy" Akio said as he walked away from the mansion

The lead ANBU ninja went to one of the others and whispered "Fallow him..." The ninja nodded and disappeared as another ninja came out from the mansion

"There is no trace of her anywhere, someone must have taken her" The man reported

"Danzo Sama is not going to like that answer"

"Well, you are the one who said to just leave her behind!"

"Don't remind me, we have to find her at all cost, she can't be far"

Akio was a few blocks away. There was something about those people he found suspicious, that's when he noticed a shadow fallowing him. He turned around but it was gone, he didn't like it one bit. He continued to walk towards his home as if nothing was wrong. He opened the door and walked in, he then shut it behind him and locked it "Rei, grab the girl right now!"

"What? But I just finished the food; you promised I could keep her until after dinner..." Rei said sadly

"Rei, please, this isn't the time, grab her now and come with me" Suddenly they heard banging on the door "REI NOW!" Rei didn't know what was going on but all she knew was that Akio seemed scared and nervous for some reason, and she had never seen him like this. She quickly grabbed Naoto and held her tightly "We need to leave through the back door, let's go!" Akio said while grabbing Rei's hand and forcing her to run as the banging on the door had gotten harder, as if someone was trying to break it down. Suddenly the door finally gave in as the ANBU walked in, however they had already left

He looked around and saw the baby food and noticed Naoto's dirty cloths "I found her" he simply said through his communicator to the rest of the team

Meanwhile back at sea Sakura was nicely snuggled up against Naruto's body, his warmth making her feel safe as he had an arm wrapped around her. She was truly happy with him, he treated her like no other, even if she didn't always treat him the way he deserved to be treated. She knew that he would always love her and no one else, Naruto was staring into her eyes "Sakura Chan, you are so beautiful, even with your hair all ruffled" he said with a grin

Sakura blushed slightly "Thank you Naruto, for always being so nice to me"

"Sakura Chan, you are my soul mate, the love of my life, I could not be mean to you even if I tried" he answered back

Sakura kissed his cheek "Naruto, there is something you need to know..." Sakura told him seriously

Naruto was slightly nervous, why was she being so serious all of a sudden? It couldn't be bad news could it? He then began to think that maybe the poisoned food was much worst then he thought, maybe she was going to die?! "Sakura Chan, I will make sure we find a cure! I am not going to lose you" he suddenly shouted out as he held her tightly

Sakura was actually confused, what the hell is he talking about?! "Uh Naruto? I am not dying..." Now it was Naruto's turn to be confused, Sakura smiled as he looked very cute right now "Naruto...I am pregnant, but it's still very early. By the time we arrive I should only be 2 months in, so I won't be a burden or a weakness to you. I should still be able to fight by your side" She finally told him. Naruto could only blink at the news "Naruto?" She asked him as he stayed silent

Finally Naruto began to react, his smiled grew larger and larger as he held Sakura tightly "THIS IS GREAT NEWS! I AM GOING TO BE A FATHER AGAIN!" He said as he kissed her passionately, he then got out of bed "I need to tell everyone!" he ran towards the door when Sakura shouted at him

"NARUTO! WAIT!"

"I can't, I want everyone to know!" He answered her as he opened the door and ran out

"That's not what I meant..." she heard Ino shriek and Naruto ran back in shutting the door behind him, his face was blushing wildly "I just wanted to tell you to put some clothing on" she said with a giggle

Meanwhile Hiyori was standing in front of Toshiro's door, she knocked on it and heard someone inside walking towards the door, it finally opened revealing the white haired Jonin "Hiyori?" He simply asked as she walked in

"Toshiro, I have done something horrible..." she said getting straight to the point

"What's wrong?" He asked her

"As the former tenth division captain and current ANBU captain, you have been in charge of large teams..." Hiyori began

"Well yeah..." Toshiro answered

"I need your advice, during a training exercise, I hurt Hamako and now I am afraid that I lost their trust"

Toshiro looked at her kind of confused as to why this was an issue "We are ninja's getting hurt is part of the job, even if it's during training and..." But she cuts him off

"No, you don't understand, during the training I was just playing around; none of them were much of a challenge until Hamako somehow caught me by surprise. I panicked not wanting to lose because if I were to lose then the entire point of the exercise to prove that they needed more training would be lost. So I panicked and got her into a submission hold and used almost all of my strength to force her to submit... Toshiro she was crying in pain and I didn't stop until I heard her give up... I ended up causing a lot of injuries including a broken arm, fractured ribs and her ankle was dislocated. She was crying in pain and all I did was walk away... I knew that Ino was there so she would be treated but I screwed up Toshiro...I screwed up and now they look at me with fear"

Toshiro was slightly speechless, he knew that Hiyori had an explosive personality, but never expected anything like this to ever happen "I see..."

"Toshiro, you have to help me, how can I make things right again?! You were a great captain and always had the admiration of the entire tenth division, including my own. As your vice captain I was ready to fallow you anywhere you would go..."

"Hiyori, I am going to bluntly say that there is no quick fix to this problem. You broke the trust and bond that you had with them and now you're going to have to pay for it. You are going to have to work hard and earn it once again, this is the burden of being in charge of a team"

"I know your right, it's just, I don't know how to even begin..." Hiyori said sadly

"Hiyori, I know that you can do it, so just do what you think is right" Toshiro answered her with a smile to cheer her up, he knew that Hiyori always acted tough, but under all her barriers, Hiyori was a nice person who cared very much for everyone that was precious to her, and he knew that she would figure out how to redeem herself

"Thank you Toshiro..." she said while suddenly hugging him making Toshiro blush "Your always there to help me out when I screw up, you are always the one who comes cheer me up when I need it and I know I can always count on you, thank you Toshiro" Toshiro felt embarrassed, however, he didn't mind having her hold him like this. However she immediately let go of him once she realized what she was doing "Sorry about that, I ... uh..." Hiyori said embarrassed "I am sorry!" she finally said as she ran out of the room, leaving Toshiro behind with a slight grin

BACK IN THE PAST

Masaki was flying from tree branch to tree branch almost like a flash, he knew that he was a few days behind Hashirama and that he had to catch up. He was also worried about the huge surge of chakra he had felt in the distance and how it had now vanished "Damn it Hashirama, you better not have died" he thought to himself as he tried to go faster. He had finally reached the grand waterfall where he could easily see that a major battle had been fought here. He looked around and he was horrified to see Hashirama laying motionless on the ground. He quickly ran to his side "Hashirama!" he shouted out as he bent down, Hashirama still had a pulse, it was weak but he was still alive. Masaki didn't know much about first aid so he could only patch him up as best he could

He then got some water to wash the wounds and poured some of it into Hashirama's mouth; he finally began to open his eyes much to Masaki's relief "Where am I? What happened? Masaki? Is that you?"

"Yeah, it's me. Try not to move too much, you suffered some bad injuries and I am not much of a medic. But don't worry, I sent a shadow clone for help"

"A shadow clone?" Hashirama asked confused

"I will explain latter, for now just rest" Masaki told him

"What happened to Madara?" Hashirama asked realizing that he had lost the battle and wondering why he was still alive

"He wasn't here when I got here, I did find this laying on your chest" he said showing the Uchiha headband with the fan carved into the metal

"He spared my life...But why?"

"You mean he defeated you?"

"Yeah...the last thing I remember was my vision fading to black as he kicked my head and knocked me unconscious. I never expected to wake up..." Hashirama told him "Why did he spare my life?" he then thought to himself

A few days later a medical team had arrive to help Masaki bring Hashirama back home. Once they had returned Hashirama received a hero's welcome back as everyone celebrated the safe return of their leader. One of the council members from the Uchiha approached him "So, did you defeat him? Is he dead?"

Hashirama looked at him and said "I walked away alive didn't I?" not answering the question directly

"Excellent, then the village should be safe, you are indeed the rightful leader for Konoha" The old man said with a smile, a smile that disgusted Hashirama. The Uchiha council had tried to make Madara look like a merciless killer yet he spared his life. He knew that he would probably never get the truth, but the least he could do was allow Madara to live out his life without being chased after by the Uchiha

Masaki was curious about the answer "But you didn't defeat him" He whispered at him so no one else could hear them

"No, but they don't need to know that, Madara is not a threat to this village and he does not deserve to be hunted down like an animal" Hashirama whispered back

Masaki's opinion of Hashirama had once again went up. Hashirama was truly a great man and a great leader, one that he was proud of fallowing

Suddenly a young girl ran towards Masaki and jumped into his arms "You're back!" She said happily

"Nami!" Masaki answered with a bright smile

"It's about time you brought my brother back home, and she had been worried sick about you all this time" Tobirama said as he walked up from behind with a large smile

"Hey Tobi, thanks for looking after Nami for me"

Nami smiled vanished as she punched Masaki "STOP THINKING I NEED TO BE LOOKED AFTER! AND STOP IGNORING ME TOO!" Tobirama began to laugh as Nami turned to face him "AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE IMMUNE TO THIS!?" She said as she punched him as well, Hashirama decided that it would be best to just walk away as Nami continued beating up both of them. Madara was one thing, a girl with a tempter like Nami when she was mad is worst...
