Although Naruto wanted to talk more often with his ancestor, the blond assistant rarely has the pleasure to talk, when there were ravens flying in and out of the cabin that they were staying. Therefore, he spent most of the journey, looking at the sea, thinking as well as digesting all the information that he gathered. He only has a brief moment before they landed by the shore. "Don't you find it tiring, putting a disguise like this all the time?"
Kazuhiko smiled softly as he placed his hand on the young man's shoulder. "I like the disguise that An-sama has created for me and that it was a wise act. It is used to protect our family, as the separation is just my personal choice. Even I don't want to be a Namikaze most of the time, my dearest aniki was the leader of the family after all; and that he is my family, that won't be change, for sure."
Naruto nodded in a small motion, indicating that he understood, but did not verbalise as he saw other Sasaki members. Subsequently, he followed the vampires quietly, making his way to the mansion.
Once they were inside the building, they made they way all the way up to the top floor, where the leader's suite located. Naruto noticed the assistant's hesitation right before the door. Nonetheless, they made their way in.
There was a bed at the far end of the room, the black long hair Uchiha was sitting by the right, pretending to be reading, despite the fact that it was quite obvious that he was not focusing; while the silver hair vampire leader was lying in the bed peacefully. On the left, there was Kakashi, who was also resting on a chair, with his upper body on the bed. The wood jutsu user was also present, right next to his senpai. He turned as the pair approached.
"Kashi-kun has already awake?" Kazuhiko asked lowly.
"Hai. Both Madara-san and I tried to persuade him have more rest, but you know how stubborn senpai can be…"
"I know," Kazuhiko replied. "Take him to his room, Ten… Yamato, with Naruto-kun. I will be with you guys shortly."
Yamato whispered softly by his senpai's ear before he lifted the vampire up in a bridle style. Naruto quietly followed, as he knew that there was nothing that he could offer to help.
Kazuhiko took the seat where Kakashi sat and grabbed the sleeping vampire's hand tightly. "What had happened, Madara?"
"I don't know too. He was testing with Sakumo for the time, and by the time I realised that the monster was breaking lose, I only have the chance to pull him away from Kakashi's mind palace. But somehow, he locked himself in his own palace. He cannot take both monsters with him. I aware of the fact that you are organising something, but I am willing to be the next jinchuriki, if this is necessary."
Kazuhiko sighed softly, "I am not blaming you, Madara-kun. I have been with An-sama for 800 years. These experiences are not come out from the blue moon. I will sort it out." He took the vampire's hand by his lips and whispered, "An…"
The Uchiha was planning to say something, but words were only echoing in his lips. He was not oblivious. He aware of the feelings that the assistant has; yet, simply, he just chose to ignore.
On the other hand, at the same time, Yamato settled the sleeping vampire on the bed, with Naruto closing the bedroom door behind softly. Once the blond took a seat by the bed, Yamato questioned in a low and polite voice, "since you have come, I assume that you know what senpai was trying to tell you?"
"Hai. I have dig out the scrolls. I know what had happened, if not I won't be here –dattebyo."
"I have been with senpai since I was a child… please take good care of him, he is very important to me."
"I will," Naruto replied. He then, gingerly placed his hand on the vampire's forehead, brushing the soft silver hair. "to be honest, I don't understand why I care so much. I barely know him, but yet, I felt that I have known him for my whole life. He has been in my dreams since the day I met him. With all these revelations… even though the path is not an easy one, but I will grab his hand and go forth."
Yamato softened as he heard the man's words. He was somehow relief, as he was concerned. He was not sure whether the man could manage all the truth. But now seeing the boy, no, young man in front of him, he was certain. The young man was strong, both mentally and physically. "He has been waiting for you, even though he pretended to be not care," he added, "senpai is not the kind who always show his true emotions. As the carrier of the Desire, as well as the holder of the Tsuki, he has been quite lonely… though embarrassingly, I am not sure whether he enjoys it or not…"
Then there was a moment of silence, as the wood jutsu user felt that he has spoken too much, feeling that he has stepping across the line.
"Ano-sa…" Naruto broke the tension, "I have read about the imprisonment. I thought it is safe, at least from the executer side…"
"It is," Yamato stated plainly. "I crafted the protective layer as well as the alchemist circles myself. The only problem was the Desire that was inside senpai's mind palace. An-sama was trying to take care of it… but for the details, even I was in the same room, I am not certain of the facts, as only Madara-san can see though the barriers. However," Yamato tried to sound cheerful, "for senpai, he will awake soon, as I have put him to sleep few hours ago, he should be waking up soon."
"That's great." Naruto countered, "there's lots of things that I want to tell him."
