RairyuuBlade - Thanks for the review, and yeah the ideas have kept on coming, although i have most of my blocks when i am making some epic battle, i hate battles cause its always hard to not make them out to be, how should i say this, invincible, i HATE authors who make out Naruto, or their hero's into people who can beat the enemy in like five seconds by just looking at them... it ruins a good storyline, i have abandoned many stories because of this, what's the point in reading something when the hero is invincible, at least with my stories, you don't know, the bad guy could win, or the good guy could win :P just like how Masaki lost, although he was saved by a bunch of girls at the end ;)

quintupledots915 - Thanks for the review, its an awesome game isn't it? I have to say that i haven't had the time to play it recently, but i love it! Sasuke wants to be an astronaut and thus will have to join the military, my little baby girl "Naoto" is still just a kid, but she is really smart, she beats her brothers at chess, she is probably going to be a scientist, Sakura actually became a pro soccer player, she bring in lots of money and has won a few championships, go Sakura! :D we go cheer her on from time to time ;) uh... enough about my Sims 3 Family lol anyway i hope you enjoy the new chapter :)

blackmoon124 - Thanks for the review, and technically, Ino is not using her own chakara, it was explained that as long as the girl "Suzu" has chakara, Ino can remain in control, however i understand that i kind of left it unexplained as to what happens once she does run out of chakara, so i am fixing that in this chapter, it will be explained in more detail about how it works :)

Historical Bonds

Chapter 28


IN THE PAST

Nami and Masaki were on their way back, Sako had helped Nami carry the still unconscious Masaki to her small boat and they were now half way back home. Nami was thinking about how close she came to losing Masaki, had she arrived only s few minutes later… And had Sako not decided to help her out, how could she bare living without him? She had given up everything for him. Her friends back in the clan, leadership of the clan, even her seat on the village council, although she cared not for any of those things. Masaki was all that she wanted or cared about, she began to notice a large amount of sweat was forming on his forehead, she pressed her hand up against it and it was burning up "Oh no, he has a high fever…" she said as she quickly looked for a cloth, but she found none, she had used up most of her supplies treating his initial wounds, she began to rip part of her shirt up and drenched it in cold water and folded it as she placed it on his forehead

She then adjusted the small sail so she could get the most out of the small breeze that was blowing to try and get back faster, she sat back down to check on the cloth, it had already began to warm up, she quickly drenched it once more in cold water and reapplied it. It was the only thing she could do to get his fever to go down, if only she knew more about medicine… Suddenly she noticed some lights in the distance "It must be the lights from the small port village! We're almost there" she said as she kept her eyes on the coast as the sun had begun to rise

"…Nami?" she suddenly heard a weak voice calling her name, she turned her attention back onto Masaki

"Masaki! You're awake" She said happy to see him conscious again

"Where are we?" He asked still in a weak voice as he tried to get up, the cloth slid off his forehead

Nami pushed him back down "Don't move! Your body is still weak and recovering, not to mention you have a very high fever" she explained to him as she drenched the cloth in cold water once more before putting it back on his forehead

Masaki had noticed her shirt being ripped up "Nami… Are you alright?" He asked although he couldn't see any injuries on her

"I am fine… Don't worry about this, I kind of ran out of cloths to use…" She told him

"But, that was your favorite shirt…" he told her as he stared at the ruined red shirt that Nami had worn almost every day

"It's not important, making sure you get home alive is…" She said trying to hide a tear from him

"Nami… I… I am sorry, I never meant for any of this to happen…" He said feeling horrible

"You should be sorry, what would have happened had I arrived a few moments later? Why did you leave without telling me anything! Is it because you think I am too weak?" She asked him

"Nami… I already told you that I believe you are one of the strongest people I know" Masaki told her

"Then why! Why did you leave without saying anything! All you left was a letter!" She said as she turned around so he couldn't see her cry

"Because, it was my mission and I didn't want you to worry about me… In all honesty I had no idea that Madara was there so I had no way of knowing how dangerous the mission would be, nor did I have any reason to believe that my life would be in any danger…" Masaki answered her "I was sure that I would have returned to you"

"Not a dangerous mission?! NOT A DANGEROUS MISSION?! Did you think that the other teams that we sent there to investigate and suddenly vanished were beaten by some wild animal or whatever? Of course you knew it was going to be a dangerous mission! That's why you really didn't tell me, right? Tell me the truth Masaki!" Nami demanded

"I really did believe that I wouldn't be in danger… And the reason I didn't tell you was because I knew that you had been looking forward to our time together… I couldn't bare telling you that I had a mission, you were so happy, so playful from the moment I had stepped into the house, how could I ruin that? That is the real reason that I left without saying anything. I knew that I would have had to pay for it once I returned…" Masaki told her

There was now silence as the small boat approached the harbor of the new port village. Nami removed the cloth to check on his temperature, it had went down slightly but he was still burning up. She drenched it in cold water again, she then tied the small boat to the dock "Stay here and DON'T MOVE! I am going to go get help" She told him as she left the boat, leaving Masaki alone with his thoughts

It didn't take long for Nami to return with a squad of people, they helped her carry him to the village's medical facilities. Since the village was new, the facility itself wasn't very well equipped, but the staff were very skilled doctors and nurses. They assured Nami that they would take care of Masaki

A few days had passed, Masaki had spent most of them in bed recovering his strength. During this time Nami had stayed by his side, worried that he would somehow leave her while she wasn't looking. She was sleeping on a chair next to him as he sat up and stared at her. He could tell that she hadn't really been taking good care of herself during the past few days. Her hair was a mess, it looked like she hadn't washed them in days. A nurse walked into the room and smiled "Oh you're up" she whispered "She has been by your side the entire time, refusing to even get up from her seat. She even refused to eat, I believe the only times we saw her move was to go to the bathroom, and even that was rare" she continued

Masaki felt horrible, she didn't even eat?! Why? It's not like he was going to vanish on her "could you bring us both something to eat? I am hungry myself and I want her to eat something the moment she wakes up" he whispered back

"No problem, I will have something brought for the both of you" The nurse said with a bright smile

It wasn't long before Nami began to open her eyes and let out a small yawn, however she quickly realized that Masaki was awake, she hugged him without warning "I am so glad that you're alright!" she said as she held him tightly, Masaki wrapped his own arms around her

"Don't worry Nami, I am not going to leave you ever again alright? Mission or no mission, I couldn't do that to you a second time" he said with a smile

"You promise?" She asked

"Yes, I promise" he answered her

She smiled at him "That's sweet… But I know that even you can't keep that promise, we are both Ninjas and we have a duty to uphold But… I do want you to promise me this; don't ever leave without telling me… Ever again!" she asked him seriously

Masaki smiled at her, but before he could answer someone knocked at the door, both of them looked at the entrance and saw Tobirama and the Hokage, Hashirama, Nami immediately got up and bowed, partly out of respect, also partly because she knew she was in trouble "Nami, we finally found you…" Tobirama said as he entered the room

"I am sorry Tobi…and Hokage Sama" She told them "But I couldn't just stand by and do nothing… I had to find him" She told them

"It's alright Nami, I understand how you feel and I apologize for putting the both of you in the situation you found yourselves in but Masaki, I must ask you… What happened over there? Where is your team? And did you find out anything about the other teams?" Hashirama asked him

"I am sorry to say that both my team members were killed… As well as every scouting party we sent. It would have appear that Madara had went to the islands and taken power, he ordered that anyone who came to the island be killed… I was also forced to fight him"

"If you're alive, then you must have won?" Tobirama asked

"No… I lost, we were both equal in power and I almost had him, however he was just one step ahead of me… Had it not been for Sako who interfered in the last moments, I would be dead right now…" He explained

"And had I not arrived when I did, she would have killed you" Nami added "She also has a message for us, stop sending scouts to the island, if they wish to communicate, they will come to us" She told him

"I see, well, it is sad to hear about the lost of all our people, but at least you two made it back safe" Tobirama told them

"Masaki, you went toe to toe with Madara and fought him as his equal, this truly is impressive. He defeated me, although I held my own, he was still stronger than me… Perhaps you should be the one to lead our people" Hashirama said thinking about stepping down

Masaki got up from bed and walked towards Hashirama, his wounds had all mostly healed. He placed his hand on his friends shoulder "Hokage Sama, the people chose you to lead, you are plenty strong, you just need to believe in yourself. I will NOT take your place as leader" He said with a smile as Nami stood behind him

"Although, we are looking for someone to lead a new division, perhaps you would be interested" Tobirama said with a smile

"What division?" Masaki asked since he had not heard anything about a new division

"Well, we already have a police division that is run by the Uchiha to keep order within the village, I have been thinking about having another group to help them out, as well as keep order outside the village" Hashirama explained

"They would also be tasked with protecting the Hokage" Tobirama added "Interested?"

"I don't know…"

"What if I told you that Nami would be with you? She already has the skills to be a part of the squad" Hashirama added

Nami looked at Masaki "It sounds like we may get to spend a lot of time together" she said with a wink

Masaki grinned "Alright I guess, I will take the job, so… What is this division called anyway?"

"The ANBU" Tobirama answered

THE PRESENT

Naruto was still pacing back and forth "Sai, anything yet?" he asked

"No, sorry" Sai answered

"Shikamaru, what happens if she runs out of chakra?" Naruto asked him concerned that perhaps that's what had happened

"As long as the girl has chakra, Ino can continue to steal it and stay in control, if somehow the girl was drained of chakra, then Ino would lose control, but she wouldn't be lost. Her consciousness would still remain inside the girl's body waiting for it to regain chakra, such as from sleeping or resting. The only way for her to be in any real danger is if they realize she is in the girl's body and they force her out or if the girl dies, Ino would die with her" Shikamaru explained

"What are the chances she was discovered?" Rukia asked

"I don't know… Seeing how long it's been since we heard anything from her, it is possible" Shikamaru said worried about Ino, he was remembering how troublesome she was

FLASHBACK, 8 years ago

Shikamaru was laying down on the ground staring at the clouds as he would always do, suddenly Ino walked up to him "Hey Shikamaru, you are still staring at clouds?"

"Yeah..." was all that Shikamaru answered

"What kind of team members did I get stuck with? One is stuffing his face with whatever looks eatable, and the other is lazy and good for nothing" Ino said with a sigh as she sat next to Shikamaru, who didn't bother to answer her "At least Sakura got lucky, she has Sasuke on her team, he is sooo dreamy!... I would even take Naruto over one of you guys..." she said with a sigh

Shikamaru once again remained silent, Ino was so troublesome, always trying to boss him around. Always talking about that so called genius Sasuke, what was so great about that jerk anyway? And why should he care if Ino liked him? "Girls are so troublesome..." Shikamaru thought to himself

4 years latter

Team ten and Team eight were sent on a pursuit mission, a spy that had infiltrated Konoha had gotten away with valuable information, Shikamaru was leading the 6 man team "Kiba, can you detect his scent?" Shikamaru asked

"Yeah, its strong, we are definitely on the right track" Kiba answered

"Hinata, use your Byakugan to see if you can detect him ahead of us" Shikamaru asked

"Alright, Byakugan!" Hinata shouted out as her eyes changed into the famous Byakugan mode, she used her powers to scan ahead "I see him, no wait there are two of them! And they just separated, I think they know we are onto them" Hinata informed him

"Damn it, this is starting to get troublesome... Alright, we are going to split up as follow, Ino, Kiba your with me, we need Kiba to continue tracking, Choji, Hinata and Shino, you pursuit the other one using Hinata's Byakugan" Shikamaru instructed, everyone nodded as both teams separated

Shikamaru's team were in hot pursuit of their target "We are gaining, the scent is getting stronger" Kiba informed them

"LOOK OUT!" Shikamaru shouted as a flurry of Kunais came for them; they all jumped in different directions to avoid the attack, they were lucky as none of them got hit. The man that they were pursuing was below them, they all jump down to surround him

However Kiba knew something was wrong "Wait, he isn't emanating any smells! This is a shadow clone!"

But it was too late, the enemy erupted from under Shikamaru's feet and was about to strike him in the chest, that's when Ino pushed him out of the way just in time, the blade penetrated into Ino's chest instead "INO!" Shikamaru screamed out as she fell down onto her knees, Kiba had already kicked the man in the jaw sending him crashing into a tree; he then quickly grabbed him to make sure he wouldn't try to make another run for it

Shikamaru got down and held Ino in his arms, she actually smiled at him. Although she had a blade sticking out of her body, she wasn't crying in pain, she was smiling "I am glad that you're alright Shikamaru..." She said with that smile of hers

"Why the hell did you do that!" Shikamaru asked her

"Because... You are more important than I am, if I were to be killed then Konoha would just lose another pretty face... If you were to be killed, Konoha would lose one of its best tacticians and leader. I guess what I am trying to say is, I am replaceable, you are not"

Shikamaru actually began to cry as he actually smacked Ino in the face "IDIOT! YOU TROUBLESOME IDIOT! YOU ARE NOT REPLACEABLE!" Shikamaru said in a very emotional tone of voice, which was very rare for the young man who was known as calm and collected in any situation "Team ten has already lost Asuma Sensei, I will NOT lose you, do you understand that?" He added

Ino's smile only grew bigger "Why Shikamaru, I didn't think you cared" She said with a teasing tone "But don't worry, this wound looks worst then it actually is, he didn't hit any of my vital organs, as long as no one removes the blade it should keep me from bleeding until Hinata gets here to heal it, so you can stop crying now" She told him

"Aww how touching, you kids make me sick!" The man said as Kiba dragged him over

Shikamaru carefully laid Ino back down as he got up to face the enemy that they had been pursuing "YOU!" He said in anger "You are going to tell me EVERYTHING you took from Konoha!" Shikamaru demanded

"Or what? You're going to cry? Just like you did for that pathetic girl?"

Shikamaru had fire burning in his eyes, without warning he began making hand signs "Kagemane no Jutsu!" His shadow suddenly extended to touch the man's shadow, Kiba quickly let go of him since he figured it would be useless as Shikamaru now had a hold of him "You dare hurt Ino and then insult her?!"

The man finally began to realize that his body was frozen; all but his head was now at Shikamaru's control "Hey kid... I was just fooling around..." But Shikamaru didn't look amused at all, the shadow began to creep up the man's body until it reached his throat, the shadow took the shape of a hand as it began to place itself around the man's throat "Arg, I can't breathe! Stop!" The man began to beg

Shikamaru paid no attention, Kiba had never seen him like this. Shikamaru was always viewed as the model Ninja, or well he would be if he wasn't lazy "Hey Shikamaru, don't do it man... We still need to bring him back so the ANBU can interrogate him..."

"This bastard almost killed one of my team members; he then insulted and made fun of her... Why should I have any pity on this man!" Shikamaru said in a cold and emotionless voice, the hand around the man's throat only began to choke him even more

Suddenly Shikamaru felt a hand on his shoulder "Please Shikamaru don't..."

He turned around to see that Ino was standing next to him, the blade still inside her body, somehow she had willed herself to her feet "Please don't. By doing this, you become a killer... its different from being a Ninja, a Ninja kills only when he has to, please... Don't become a Killer" She said with pleading eyes

Shikamaru was lost in her eyes, it was enough to break his concentrating and his shadow retracted back, the man found himself free, wanting to take advantage he took out a Kunai and was ready to stab Shikamaru in the back, However he quickly felt the coldness steel of a Kunai on his throat as Kiba stood behind him "I think you forgot about me" Kiba said as the man dropped his weapon, finally accepting defeat

The team had returned back home with both spies and had handed them over to ANBU for interrogation

Everyone on the mission except for Ino were in the Hokage's office

"Good job everyone, not only did you stop them from reporting back to their villages, but you were able to bring them back alive. Shikamaru, you are to be commended for your leadership" Tsunade said with a smile "You can all take a well deserved rest for the next few days, good job everyone" Everyone smiled as they left the office, feeling like they had done a good job for Konoha. All except for Shikamaru that is, who didn't leave the office "Shikamaru, is there something else you wanted to talk to me about?" Tsunade asked

"Lady Hokage... Perhaps I should not be given leadership of team ten anymore..." Shikamaru simply said

Tsunade was shocked "Why?" She asked

"...I... I almost killed the target, I almost killed him out of rage, this is not something a team leader can allow. So with respect lady Hokage, please remove me from leadership of team ten, and any future missions as well"

Tsunade was still shocked and surprised "Is this about what happened to Ino? I read Kiba's report, I can understand how you must have felt seeing someone you care about taking a shot for you. But Shikamaru, you have to understand that you are one of the best leaders we have. I am sorry but I am denying your request, however I will suggest something. Train harder, make sure that your team members never find themselves in that kind of situation again where they must take a blow for you, but I will not remove you from being a team leader. You shall remain Team ten's leader, now dismissed" Tsunade said as she began to read some more reports

Shikamaru let out a sigh and left the office and made his way out of the fire tower

Later that evening Shikamaru was training in the training area, Naruto was watching from a nearby tree, he was actually surprised to see Shikamaru training. Normally he would be sitting somewhere staring at clouds or stars. He could overhear Shikamaru talking to himself "I have to make sure that Ino is never hurt while under my command ever again!" He said as he threw ten Kunais all one after another, all hitting their targets perfectly

Naruto approached him "Hey Shikamaru, I heard about your mission, and how Ino got hurt, Sakura says she will be fine" Naruto said with a smile

"She is in the hospital because I wasn't able to protect her Naruto, as team leader, it's my job to bring my entire squad home alive"

"You have come back home with injured squad members, even lost a few members on a mission before. I never saw you this upset over it, tell me, could it be that this time it's because its Ino?" Naruto asked with a grin. Shikamaru threw a Kunai at him as hard as he could; Naruto barely had the time to take out a Kunai to deflect it "Hey! Are you crazy?! That was coming straight for my head!"

"I have to get stronger... Naruto I want you to spar with me..."

"You just tried to kill me! Now you want me to spar with you?... This isn't like you Shikamaru!" But he could see that Shikamaru was being serious about wanting to spar, Naruto grinned "Fine, let's do it, but I am not going to go easy on you!" he said as he launched an immediate attack on Shikamaru

A few hours later, both of them were laying on the ground exhausted from their sparing. They were laying side by side just staring at the stars "Shikamaru... I know how you feel man" Naruto told him "When Gaara had captured Sakura and her life was in my hands, I fought with everything I had, I did end up saving her, but it was barely. I trained myself to make sure that I could protect my team members... I even tapped into this dammed power that's inside me..." Naruto told him

"You mean the Kyuubi?" Shikamaru asked

"Yeah... I thought that the power from the Kyuubi would help me protect everyone I cared about, but I ended up losing myself in the power and I even ended up hurting Sakura. She never told me, but Yamato Sensei told me the truth... I had harmed Sakura, so I vowed never to use that power ever again... Not for my sake, but for hers, but what I am trying to say is that I can understand your feelings about wanting to protect Ino. She is someone who is dear to you, just like Sakura is to me... But you can train all you want, it's not going to change how Ino feels about you" Naruto told him

"What do you mean?" Shikamaru asked him

"For someone who is supposed to be smarter than me, you sure are slow Shikamaru... Old Lady Tsunade told me how you wanted to stand down as leader of team ten, that's why I came looking for you, I heard the story of what Ino did to save you. You can train all you want, it's not going to stop her from doing it all over again, even if she was the team leader, do you think it would change anything? She would still sacrifice herself to save you. Anyway, I need to get going, Sakura wants me to meet her and Kakashi Sensei for dinner, it's something she has been making us do once a week since Sasuke left us" Naruto said with a smile as he got up and left Shikamaru alone

"...for an Idiot, he sure is smart..." Shikamaru said with a grin "But I swear, I will protect Ino"

END FLASH BACK

(Note - All this happened before Naruto and Sakura brought Sasuke back, hence why Tsunade is still alive)

"Ino... I don't know where you are right now, but I swear, I will find you, and bring you back!" Shikamaru thought to himself

The next morning Suzu was slowly waking up, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom. She shut the door and looked at herself in the mirror "Who am I? Why do I feel like I don't belong here? Why do I feel like this isn't my life? Why do I feel like I should be somewhere else right now?" She wondered as she splashed water onto her face to wash it, she then got dressed and ran down the stairs. She could hear her parents talking, she hid behind the door and listened in on them

"He didn't come home last night... Where could he be?" Hatsumi said in a worried tone

"I asked around the village, no one has seen him either, I am going to take my team and look for him" Daiki answered

"Daiki... Bring our baby back home alright?" Hatsumi told him

"Yeah, don't worry" he answered her as he left the house

Suzu could hear her mother crying softly, she slowly opened the door "Mom?..."

Hatsumi turned around and saw her daughter in the doorway "Oh sweetie!" she said as she ran over to hold her tightly "I love you so much... I don't know what I would do if you left!"

"What's wrong mom?" Suzu asked

"It's Nozomi; he never returned home, we don't know where he is..."

"Maybe I should go help; after all, it's my fault he left..."

"Sweetie, it wasn't your fault he left, so stop thinking that. I have breakfast ready for you, Yokito and Tamao should be here soon to pick you up. They said they have a few ideas on how to bring your memory back so you have to hurry up and eat" She said with a faint smile as she was trying to reassure her daughter

Suzu quickly ate up her breakfast, just as she was finishing up a knock came to the door. Hatsumi answered "Is Suzu ready?" A voice that Suzu recognized as Yokito asked

"She is just finishing up, she should be ready in a few minutes. Please come in while you wait" Hatsumi offered

"Uh... I don't think it's safe for me to enter your house" Yokito answered

Hatsumi let out a small giggle "Don't worry, Daiki isn't around, he is out searching for...someone" Hatsumi told him

"Ah, well in that case, I guess I can come in" Yokito said with a smile as both he and Tamao entered and sat down on a couch in the living room. It didn't take long for Suzu to be ready, she walked into the living room and Yokito smiled, he held her hand "You look just as beautiful as ever Suzu" He said with a smile

"Th...Thanks" Suzu said with a blush

Hatsumi was grinning, she knew that Yokito was a sweet boy who truly loved Suzu for who she was, now if only Daiki would realized that as well "Take care of my daughter Yokito" She told him as they left the house

"Don't worry, I will" Yokito answered as they left the house

"So... Where are you guys taking me?" Suzu asked

"We are going to our favorite place, where the three of us have always played since we were just kids!" Tamao said with a smile

"We even brought your clothes, you left them at Tamao's after last time" Yokito said with a grin

"Clothes?" Suzu asked confused

"Don't worry you will understand once we arrive" He answered her

All three of them put their mask on as they left the village since it was mandatory for Demon Ninjas to have their mask on at all times outside the village, they had not noticed the black bird that was fallowing them from a distance

Naruto was resting when Sai walked up to him "Naruto, I found her..."

Meanwhile Hiyori and Hamako had stopped to rest for a bit, they had no idea if it was day or night outside. All they knew was that they were tired. Hiyori checked their supplies of food and water "We should be able to last a while if we ration these, more than likely they have been splitting up their forces to cover all of the tunnels that we have been taking. It was a good idea to create false signs to make them think we went into other tunnels Hamako" Hiyori said

Hamako smiled as she was happy to have been of use, suddenly she heard something in the distance "Did you hear that?!" Hamako asked, Hiyori began to flash her torch in the direction that they had just come from and got into a fighting position, but she could hear nor see anything. Suddenly Hamako saw two red eyes in the darkness "No, it's on this side! I saw it! I saw two red eyes in the dark!" Hiyori said pointing in the direction they were heading in

Hiyori turned around and flashed her torch in that direction, but she couldn't see anything "I can't hear or see anything, Hamako, we have already been through this, it's only your imagination playing tricks on you" Hiyori said trying to reassure the young girl "let's move out some more before we stop to get some sleep alright?" Hiyori told her as she began to move forward again

Hamako was fallowing her closely "I know I saw something... I am not going crazy... I am NOT going crazy..." Was all that Hamako could think of


End chapter 28


Well that's another chapter done, i decided that i would not uh... have Nami kill Masaki, the poor guy has gone through enough hardships, including being saved by not one, but two girls :P "PS this is not making fun of girls or saying there weak, i am just making fun of Masaki ;) God knows Nami could beat the crap out of most of the Konoha Male Population...Same goes for Sakura :P" I also decided to give a little background story for Ino and Shikamaru as well as explain how Ino's powers work as i didn't really explain what would happen if she ran out of chakra, so i cleared that up :)

With Masaki and Nami in charge of the newly created ANBU, what will happen next? What's going on with Suzu/Ino? Who is in control right now? And where did Suzu's brother run off to? What will Naruto and his team do now that they have finally found Suzu/Ino, and is Hamako going crazy? Summer is just about gone, fall is just around the corner, should i dress up as Naruto and fling plastic Kunais to little children screaming BELIEVE IT/DETTEBAYO to them as they approach my door for Halloween?

READ RAVE REVIEW! :D
