Chapter 41
PRESENT TIME
Naruto was pacing back and forth while waiting for Rukia to return, he couldn't understand why Yuki would be risking not only the mission but her own life. Yet he wondered if her being a Talho could have something to do with it. But it's not like she knew about the blade in the first place. "No matter what, I have to make sure that Yuki comes out of this safely… Even if it means failing this mission" He sighed to himself "I would rather die from these nightmares then allow her to be executed or worst"
He continued to pace back and forth while he planned for the worst case scenario. He heard the door open, it was Aida who had come to check up on him "Ah, there you are, why have you halted your training?" He asked
"Ah master, I am sorry but I am slightly preoccupied at the moment" Naruto said with a bow
"So the girl is on your mind then I take it? Do you know her?" He asked
Naruto hesitated a bit but finally answered "Yes master, she is a very close friend or mine, that is why I cannot understand why or even how she could even do what she did" Naruto explained
Aida smiled a bit "I can see that you care about the girl a great deal more then you are telling me, could it be that you two are in a relationship?"
"What?" Naruto said shocked "Oh no master, I think you misunderstood. If I were to describe how I feel about her, it would be more like I view her like a little sister… A Sister that I wish to protect" He quickly explained
"I understand, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on training either if I were you then. However you must consider the possibility that she may be a traitor, if it is the case then there is nothing that we can do for her. As soon as any of us puts on a night uniform whether academy student, night ninja, vice captains and even captains, we all become subject to the laws and responsibility that comes with the honor of wearing that uniform. And the penalty for attacking the temple and attempting to take the earth blade would be death" Aida said with a sad face
"But she is a Talho! She is the only one who can wield that blade; would she really be put to death?" Naruto asked
"What did you say? Why do you believe that she is a Talho?" Aida asked puzzled as to why Naruto would even think of that possibility
Naruto dammed himself, he allowed his emotions to betray him once more "It is something that she does not wish to get out, for the same reasons as mine. She does not wish for everything to be handed to her on a silver platter"
"If what you say is true, it would only make things worse if she truly is a Talho then she may be spared the death sentence… But she would never be allowed to go free, I think it would be best for her to be executed then what could be the alternative"
"What do you mean?"
"She still broke the laws, however if she is the last Talho it would make her very valuable. She would probably be locked up for the rest of her life while she is… Breaded to restore the Talho line"
"No one is going to touch a single hair on my apprentice's head, not if I have anything to say about it" a voice came from behind them
Both Naruto and Aida turned to see who had just entered the room, it was Yoruichi and Rukia
"Yoruichi! What a delightful surprise" Aida said with a warm smile as both of them approached us "But you know as well as I do that just because she is your apprentice…" But she cut him off
"She is not responsible for her actions" She quickly told him
"What do you mean?" Aida asked confused
"Yuki is a very bright and talented girl, however she had lived most of her life in a small village before I encountered her and saw her raw talent, it was hard to convince her to join but eventually I was able to do just that" But it was her turn to be cut off
"Yes but still doesn't explain your statement"
"Please master Aida, allow me to finish" she asked before she continued "She had never even been near the capital city before and since I had a report to give to the council I decided to bring her along. At first everything was fine, however during her first night she came to me saying that she had a very vivid dream about a warrior wielding great power and he was using a great sword that could control the earth itself. She said that she could remember every detail, it was as if she was actually there. So I asked her to describe the blade, when she was done I was shocked because the blade she had described matched the earth blade perfectly" Yoruichi explained "And I also did not know that she was a Talho, when I found out and confronted her about it she asked me to keep it a secret" She added
"That is an extraordinary story, but it still doesn't explain why she attacked the temple"
"I was getting to that… Now I have to admit that this is just hypothetical but this is what I believe happened. The earth blade had detected her presence and attempted to draw her to it. When she was close enough it took control of her and controlled her actions, that is why she attacked the temple as well as why no one was severely hurt, the blade just wanted to be with her"
"But that is impossible, no Zanpakuto has any control over their partners, let alone over someone they are not even partnered with" Aida said refusing to believe the theory
"If I may add something…" Rukia asked as she had remained silent
"Of course Rukia"
"I believe that she could be right, there is something odd going on with that Zanpakuto. There are many things that we do not know about them and perhaps the fact that it could have been its last chance to have a partner forced it to act in that way"
"Rukia, you are not going to tell me that you are buying into that story, you were here, you saw what happened" Aida protested "Look, I know that you and Yoruichi are very close friends and that both your squads have a history of working well together but you cannot seriously be considering that our Zanpakutos have the ability to affect our actions"
"I agree that most of them have no need, but think about it. You are alone for decades and suddenly you sense someone else, someone who could end your loneliness. We assume that while a Zanpakuto is not in use that it sleeps and remains dormant until it has a chance to pick its next partner, but what if they are not? What if they just wait for their partner to appear. After decades, would you allow that chance to slip away?" But Aida cuts Rukia off
"That is preposterous, Rukia you surprise me by this line of thought, I never figured you to blindly attempt to validate the crimes of a traitor. We can't even be sure that she truly is a Talho!" Aida said shocked at how much two of the nights most trusted captains were trying to defend this girl
"Master, if this conversation would have taken place yesterday I would have agreed with you. However this morning I went down and spoke with her, she was confused and had no idea where she was, how she got there or even why she had the blade in the first place. Now before you say that she could be lying she offered me the blade, when I tried to take it I was thrown across the room by an unknown force. Master Aida, her chakra is being sucked away from her by the wristbands and ankle bands. She does not have the ability to use any chakra and the energy that hit me came out of the earth blade. It did NOT want me to take it away from her, now can you explain how that could be possible? If you do not believe me I invite you to try and take it away from her and witness it for yourself" Rukia explained in a confident tone
Naruto was wondering how much of that story was made up, and how much of it was true, if any. But he could see that it was having an effect on Aida, he sat down as he seemed to be overwhelmed with mixed feelings "Master, I believe that we are looking at this the wrong way. We shouldn't see this as a bad thing, it only shows that the Zanpakutos are much more complex then we first thought" Rukia told him, hoping to change his mind about the situation
Aida may have been the master of the temple, but he was still young and this was overwhelming him in more ways than one "So… What do you suggest we do then? Pretend like it never happened?"
"Master, if she wasn't in control of her actions how can we punish her for them? Could you really live with knowing that we sent an innocent girl to her death? Or worst if it gets out that she is a Talho?" Yoruichi asked him
"I need to think about it, this is a lot to take in all at once" He finally said "Naruto, I would very much appreciate it if we could continue your training, I know that you are disturbed about your friend but it will allow me clear my mind" Aida asked him
Aida was right, Naruto truly wasn't in the mindset to be training but there was nothing else he could do. What good would pacing back and forth do while Yuki's future was being decided "As you wish master" He finally responded
"Master, I would request that nothing that was said in this room be repeated" Rukia asked before he left
"If everything you say is true… Then perhaps that would be best for the time being" Aida agreed
Both Naruto and Aida left the room as Yoruichi allowed herself to crash on a seat and letting out a large sigh "Do you realize what we just did?" She asked Rukia
"We just lied to the master of the temple to cover for a group of people that over a year ago we were at war with…" Rukia answered
"Are you sure that you want to proceed with this? You know that we are handing them three of our legendary blades right?"
"They have always been in possession of the wind blade; the earth blade is useless to us… And do you really wish to try and strip Toshiro of the water blade?" Rukia answered
Yoruichi let out another sigh "I know… But it still doesn't feel right you know. I really feel like beating up that little punk for forcing us into this situation" Yoruichi said with a grin
"Yeah…" was all that Rukia could say as she looked out the window
IN THE PAST
It seemed like an eternity went by in the few seconds that their kiss lasted, but Masaki was finally able to allow himself to part from Nami's sweet lips. Tears were still pouring out of his eyes as he stared at her "Masaki, what's the matter?" She asked him once more
"Nothing, everything is alright now" He simply responded "We have to get you out of here" He added as he picked her up
Nami felt very weak, her body felt numb, as if every muscle had fallen asleep and was now slowly waking up. She looked around as Masaki carried her away, she noticed all the bodies around them and how they were all covered by sheets indicating that they were dead. But why was she among them she wondered "Masaki… What's going on? What happened?" she asked once more
"I will explain everything latter, I swear" He answered her
A nurse who was exiting a patient's room saw Nami in Masaki's arms "Masaki Sama, what are you doing?" She asked, she then noticed that Nami was alive. She was shocked "How is it possible…" She asked. But Masaki just ignored her as he walked past her. She immediately began to follow him as she wanted to know how Nami could be alive "Masaki Sama, I want to help…" She finally said to get his attention
"If you want to help, then find me an empty hospital bed" He told her
"There are very few, follow me I think I know where to find one" She said as she took the lead. Masaki followed her as they walked through the busy halls of the hospital; many people were staring as just like the nurse, they were surprised to see Nami alive. It had been well known that she had fallen defending the Hokage. That she would be alive was a shock to all of them. The nurse opened a door leading into a small room "Good, it's still empty, I just cleared the last patient from this room" She explained as Masaki set Nami down in the bed
"Thank you… Could you go get a doctor to do a full check on her? Including the baby…" He asked her
"Of course Masaki Sama, I will go right away!" She said as she ran out of the room
"Masaki, are you finally going to tell me what's going on?" Nami asked once more
Masaki held her hand tightly "Please give me more time, there are things I need to take care of first" He told her as the doctor followed by the nurse walked in, just like everyone else he was shocked to see Nami alive "Doctor, please take care of her, I will be back shortly"
"Wait, where are you going?" Nami asked him still wanting answers
"I have to speak with Hokage Sama" He answered her
"Masaki Sama… I am sorry to inform you about this but… Hokage Sama passed away not long ago" The doctor told him
"What?" Nami said as she tried to get up, but a sharp pain forced her to lie back down
"Please, don't move. Your body is still recovering from the shock" Masaki told her
"The shock of what exactly?" Nami asked tired of being left in the dark, the nurse and the doctor were also interested in his answer
Masaki couldn't tell them the truth, what kind of effect would it have on her psyche is she knew that she was dead, and how would he explain to the others that he could bring her back from death but no one else? No, he had to make something up "You were in a near death state, when I realized that you were still alive, I was able to save you" He lied
"That is impossible, she had no pulse, she had lost too much blood. There was no way that she could still have been alive!" The doctor protested "And where are her wounds?"
"She was barely alive, when I realized this I used a rare ability that my blade has to transfer some of my life force to heal her wounds. It has shorten my lifespan considerably, but it was worth it" He lied once more, he was about to leave anyway so it's not like they would ever find out if he was telling the truth about his life being shortened
"You can do that?" Nami asked with a concerned voice
"Yeah… Look doctor, I have to go for now. Would you please make sure that she is alright?" Masaki asked him once more
"Yes of course" He answered
Masaki looked at Nami "I will be right back" he told her before leaving
Tobirama was outside the hospital, he needed to be alone and he needed some fresh air. He was still grieving for his brother; his words were still echoing in his head "Can I really take his place as leader of this village?" He thought to himself
Masaki walked out of the hospital, for the first time since he arrived he could see the damage that was caused by the attack. Many buildings had been damaged, some had been completely destroyed. Even the hospital had sustained some damage, but most of it was still in good shape
Masaki sat next to Tobirama "I heard about your brother… I am sorry Tobi" Masaki said offering his sympathies
"The village has lost a great leader, and I have lost my only brother… I am also sorry for your lost, Nami was… My little sister, she shouldn't have died. She was too young!" he said as he was slowly breaking down
"Tobi… I have something to tell you" Masaki began "It turns out that Nami was alive, she is going to be alright" Masaki told him
"Are you serious? She lives? That is great news! Masaki I am so happy for you!" Tobirama said feeling slightly better at the good news "Look, I know this is sudden, but since Nami is alive, I guess that you won't be going on your hunt for vengeance and well… You should become the next Hokage, I can think of no one better then you for the job"
"Tobi, I am sorry but I decline. Madara still has a lot to answer for. He killed your brother and many more died defending the village, and although she didn't die he still tried to kill Nami. I cannot forgive him for that" Masaki informed him
"But what about your child? Aren't you going to be here for him or her? And what about Nami? I doubt that she is going to just let you go like that"
"I have to do this Tobi, please understand I have no choice, Madara must pay"
Tobirama looked at the clouds in the sky "Yeah I think I understand, and to be honest I wish that I could go with you"
"Tobi, you have to stay here" Masaki began to say but he was quickly cut off
"Yeah I know, I already made a promise to my brother before he died" He said with a weak smile
"Tobi, you have been my best friend, there is no one I trust more then you. So I want to ask you to keep an eye on Nami and my child, Nami acts strong but deep down I know that she is going to have a hard time accepting this"
"Masaki, I will admit that you have also become my best friend and of course, you have my word that for as long as I draw breath both Nami and your child will be safe"
"Thanks Tobi… How is the village holding up?" Masaki asked wanting to change subject
"Well, thanks to the evacuation no civilian was hurt. The village suffered quite a bit of damage, but buildings can be rebuilt. Thanks to your ideas and plans Konoha will be fine" Tobirama informed him "So what are you going to tell Nami?"
"I don't know yet… I thought about just leaving her a letter"
"You tried that before, it made her so mad that she went after you. Thought it ended up saving your life" Tobirama reminded him
"Yeah I know, I need to tell her myself. I mean it could be the last time I see her" Masaki said, knowing full well that it would definitely be the last time he would see her
"Look, my advice is to just tell her. Don't beat around the bush, the longer you hold off on it the harder it's going to be for you to say it"
"Yeah… You're right. But not today, I just want to spend as much time as I can with her before I leave"
"That's a good idea, oh Tomorrow we are having a memorial for everyone who gave their lives for the defense of the village. I was also thinking about erecting a memorial stone for them and all future ninja's who will sacrifice their lives for Konoha" Tobirama told him
"Yeah, we should never forget the names of those who gave their lives for the village" Masaki said agreeing with Tobirama's idea "I am going to check up on Nami, I will see you latter" he said as he got up and walked back into the hospital
He ran into the doctor on his way to Nami's room "Ah Masaki Sama, You will be happy to hear that Nami is in perfect health, and so is your son" The doctor said with a bright smile
"Son?" Masaki inquired
"Yes, during the tests we were able to determine that you will be having a baby boy, congratulations" The doctor answered "I have to be getting to the other patients, so I will be on my way" He said as he left
"A baby boy…" Masaki just repeated proudly as he continued on his way. He arrived at her room to find that Nami had fallen asleep "She must be exhausted" He told himself as he entered the room quietly. He stared at her as she slept, she was so beautiful in his eyes. He slowly began to caress her stomach gently as not to wake her, a tear began to form around his eye as he began to realize that he was never going to get to know his son. He was never going to see him take his first steps, he was never going to be able to train him to defend himself, he was never going to get to see him grow up, fall in love and have a family of his own
The same nurse that had helped them earlier walked into the room "Ah Masaki Sama" She whispered "Would you like for me to get a bed ready for you?" She asked
"No, you need the beds for the injured, I am fine and I want to stay by her side" He whispered back as he rubbed Nami's hand causing the nurse to smile
"Of course Masaki Sama, allow me to at least get you a blanket and a pillow" Masaki nodded
Nami opened her eyes; the sun was shining brightly from the outside as the morning had come. A nurse walked into the room with a plate of food "Good morning, you look well. The doctor said that we would be sending you home today" She said with a bright smile
"Thanks, I can't wait to get back home and sleep in my own bed again" Nami answered with a smile, she looked around the room and saw that Masaki was still sleeping on a chair
"I offered him a bed, but he refused to leave the room" The nurse told her
Nami smiled "Could you get him something to eat as well? I am sure that he will be hungry when he wakes up" She asked
"Of course, I was on my way to get his tray next" She answered with a smile
Nami debated whether or not to wake him, however the chair didn't look comfortable so she decided to just go ahead and wake him. She grabbed her pillow and threw it at his face causing him to wake up instantly. He thought he was attacked at first, but he saw Nami's grinning smile and he had figured it was her doing "Good morning sunshine" she said as she kept up her devilish grin
Masaki could only smile back at her "Good morning to you too, troublemaker" He said with his own grin
"Oh, and here I was worried about having you fed, I should just tell the nurse to forget about your tray of food" She said teasingly
As she said that the nurse walked in with the second tray "Masaki Sama your awake, that is good. I brought you something to eat" She said with a smile
"Yes awake, thanks to a certain someone"
"Do not believe a single word he says, he lies" Nami said smiling innocently
The nurse had to try not to laugh, she found the two of them very cute "I shall leave you two alone" She said as she shut the door
"I don't lie… You on the other hand" Masaki began to say
"I what?" Nami said staring at him
"…Are an angel, you would never lie, you're perfect, and I love you, please don't hurt me…" Masaki said playfully, even thought deep down he knew that these were the last few hours he would get to spend with her. He wanted to make sure they were happy ones, because soon that beautiful smile of hers would turn into either anger or sadness, probably both
"Good answer" she said with a wink, she then began eating as she was starving. The nurse has made sure to give her a little extra, after all she was pregnant
Masaki began eating as well "There is going to be a ceremony today for the fallen, I wanted to attend…"
"I think that's a good idea. The doctor said I could leave today, so I would like to go with you. Many people died needlessly, I only wish that I could have protected Hokage Sama better…"
"You did your best, even thought you shouldn't have been fighting…" Masaki told her, leaving out the fact that she died trying to save him…
"I know… It's just I really want that bastard to pay for what he did. I never thought that I could truly hate someone, but I really loath and despise Madara!"
"I know… You cannot allow anger to rule your life, you have to think about our son and his future" Masaki said almost proudly
"So you know? But I wanted to tell you!" Nami said slightly disappointed
"It's alright, you have no idea how happy I am and of course I would have been happy either way. But a son…"
"And he will grow up to be big and strong, just like his father. Hopefully he will have my brains thought" She said with a wink
"Hey!... What are you trying to say?"
Nami giggled as she was teasing Masaki
At the other side of the village near the stream Danzo was laying on his back staring at the clouds. He had been laying there the entire night. He couldn't find the energy or the will to get up "I failed in the one and only task given to me by my master, I am not worthy of being his pupil…" He continuously thought to himself
Hiruzen ran up to him "Danzo! Hey there you are!" He screamed out as he reached him, but Danzo didn't move a muscle "Hey, did you hear the news?" He asked, but once again Danzo continued to gaze at the sky. It was as if he just wanted to die there "Hey SNAP OUT OF IT DAMN IT!" he screamed as he stood just above him
"Leave me alone Hiruzen, you shouldn't be seen with me. Masaki Sensei… no I do not have the right to call him that anymore, Masaki Sama will look down on you if he sees you with me" he said in a depressed tone
"Don't you think that you're taking this a bit far?" But once again there was only silence "Alright, fine stay here and hate yourself for all I care. But I came here to tell you that Nami is alive, she didn't die! Don't you get it? You didn't fail her!" Hiruzen tried once more to cheer him up
Danzo suddenly sat up at the news "Are you screwing with me Hiruzen?" Danzo asked seriously
"No, why the hell would I make something like that up?" Hiruzen answered back "You should go see them"
"What? No, I couldn't face Masaki Sama again… I should just stay here" Danzo said as he laid back down
"You know no matter what you say, Masaki is still your Sensei. If you run away from him he will come after you" Hiruzen said as he left Danzo alone
"He already came after me… I doubt he wants to see me again" He said as he could still feel the pain from the punch he received from Masaki
PRESENT TIME
Naruto was back to his training under Master Aida's guidance. He was finding it hard to clear his mind of everything, especially with Yuki's life possibly hanging in the balance. But there was nothing he could do about it for the time being so he took deep breaths and exhaled slowly. Just like before he saw himself sitting near the stream that ran through Konoha and like before he sat down near the stream and tried to clear his mind completely
He began trying to forget about everything. He listened to the stream of water, the wind as it blew through the leafs, the birds as they chirped happily, his breathing became slow and deep. Suddenly he heard some noises, he opened his eyes but to his surprise he was unable to wake himself in the real world. It was as if he was stuck in his mind, could this be what he was trying to achieve? He had asked Master Aida how he would know when he had reached his goal, the only answer he ever got was "You will know when you reach it"
Naruto looked around, he was hoping that he was going to be able to speak to the spirit of his Zanpakuto face to face and finally get the nightmares over with. But he couldn't find anyone. He decided to explore the area "could the spirit be hiding within the village?" He wondered "Maybe I should try to find out what that noise is first" he finally decided
He walked towards the fire tower, he could see a crowd had gathered. He recognized almost every single person there "THERE HE IS!" One of them shouted out. The crowd turned to face Naruto "GET HIM!" they shouted
"What the hell!" Naruto thought to himself, that's when it hit him. This was the nightmare, he had been able to block it for the past few months thanks to Toshiro but now it was back "No, no, no… This isn't right" He said as he began to panic "I have to get out of here, I have to get away" he turned around only to see that he had been flanked. They were now coming at him from all sides "Damn it…" sweat began to drip down from his headband, he tried to jump away, but for some reason he didn't have the strength.
"GET THE TRAITOR!" they all screamed as they approach him "NIGHT SCUM!" another screamed
"I am not a night traitor!" Naruto cried out as the crowd, now a mob moved in on him
"Hey, over here" he heard a voice, he saw an alley with someone in it telling him to follow him
At this point Naruto didn't have a choice; he quickly ran into the alley. The mob began to follow him, once he exited the alley he was pulled into a house and led up some stairs. The one who had dragged him into the house suddenly jumped out a window and onto the roof tops, Naruto didn't give it a second thought. He followed him out of the window as they jumped from roof top to roof top with lighting speed, for some reason the strength had returned to Naruto's legs
They finally stopped once they figured that they had escaped the mob. Naruto finally got a good look at his savior and to his surprise it was a girl. She had long blond hair and bright blue eyes, she looked like she was about the same age as he was. Her clothing was black and white and she had a Konoha headband, however he had never seen her before "I think we are safe for now" She said with a smile as she sat next to him
"Thank you" Naruto responded "But tell me, why did you help me?" He asked
"Because you seem like you could use the help, tell me, was I wrong?" She asked him
"No, had you not come along I think I wouldn't be here right now"
"They seem to really hate you, why?" She asked
"Its because my ancestor is from an enemy nation and they believe me to be a traitor" Naruto answered
"And are you?"
"NO! Of course not. My family helped build this village, and throughout history we defended it. My father died for the village and I saved it more times than I care to remember"
"Then why to you doubt yourself?" She asked
"What do you mean?" Naruto was puzzled; he didn't doubt himself or his heritage
"Why do you run away instead of confronting them, why do you allow them to rule you this way?" she pressed on
"I… I told them it wasn't true… I tried to explain… But they wouldn't listen…"
"When Sasuke ran off and betrayed Konoha and told you to leave him alone, not once but multiple times, even after defeating you three times in a row. Did you go away?"
"No, of course not, but that is different…"
"Oh? Is it?" The mysterious young girl asked
Naruto was beginning to wonder who this girl was and what was her goal exactly? "Tell me, I know almost every single ninja in the village, yet I have never seen you before, who are you?" Naruto asked
"Sorry, I guess normally I would be wearing my ANBU mask but I didn't happen to have it on me and you seemed like you needed immediate help. The name is Kazeno Kami, but since I am ANBU, you wouldn't know that" the girl said with a bright smile as she held out her hand "Pleased to meet you" Naruto held out his hand to shake hers "So what do we do now Hokage Sama?" she asked
"We wait, eventually I will awake in the real world and this will all be over" He answered
"What real world? I don't understand…" She said looking confused
Of course to her this world was the real world, why would she understand? Naruto thought "Don't worry about it… Say Kami, how come you're the only one who is helping me yet I have no idea who you are? And all my friends are trying to hunt me down"
"I don't know, I already told you that I saw that you were in trouble and I wanted to help. If you wish I can leave" She said as she got up
Naruto quickly grabbed her arm to stop her "No… Please I could use all the friends I can get" Naruto almost pleaded, he was dreading having to deal with the mob alone
"Alright, well I do wish to be your friend, so I will stay" her smile returned as she sat back down next to him
Naruto examined the young girl carefully. She was remarkably beautiful, and from what he gathered earlier very quick and agile and as an ANBU ninja, she must also be a deadly ninja. He found himself intrigued with her, he had a hard time to take his eyes off of her smooth skin. It was as if she was an angel sent from heaven to rescue him. He began to shake his head "What am I thinking? I am a married man, married to the girl of my dreams. I have a family! How can I be having these thoughts about another girl…" but he could not take his gaze off of the young girl. She got up to look around to make sure that their position was still safe, Naruto found himself staring as her behind, he slapped himself as hard as he could leaving a huge red mark on his face
"Is something wrong?" Kami asked
"No, no, everything is alright" he answered quickly "I HAVE TO STOP THINKING LIKE THIS! SAKURA WOULD KILL ME IF SHE SAW ME NOW…" Naruto thought to himself "And why haven't I woken up yet? Normally I wake up almost instantly during my nightmares, why hasn't it ended yet… Then again I am not sleeping am I? Could this be the result of the deep state of meditation I am in? But if I have reached my goal, why am I stuck in this nightmare? What is the purpose of this?"
"We are going to have to move soon, your fans have split up and we are going to have to find a new spot" She informed him
End Chapter 41
And thus ends another chapter, for those of you who read my little comic act of Sakura beating up Naruto before the chapter began, maybe now you know what she was talking about ;)
What will Aida decide to do? Did the earth blade really control Yuki? What will Nami do once Masaki tells her he is going to be leaving her and the village? Why did Naruto fall back into the nightmare? Who is this mysterious girl? And why is she helping Naruto? What would Sakura do if she found out that Naruto was looking at another girls ass like he did Kami? Do people who say that Diet tastes as good as the real deal smoke crack? IT DOESN'T! IT JUST DOESN'T! DIET TASTES LIKE CRAP! there i said it :P
