Naruto Unleashed
Chapter XXIII: Minato Namikaze Returns!!!
Naruto was lying in a bed that was located inside the small little home where he and the others where staying at. Hinata had placed him there while Gaara and Enix both talked outside.
"What do you think" asked Gaara
"I think he exists" said Enix
"How can we be sure, we have no idea of who it could be" said Gaara
"Kushina was have the answers if she knew about it" said Enix
"Could it be someone that is related to Naruto" asked Gaara
"It could be one of us" countered Enix
"Now that you mention, I remember Hinata saying that Konan had chosen her to be her apprentice… but I can't understand why she would pick Hinata over any one else" asked Gaara
"That is something to think about" said Enix
Meanwhile…
Naruto lied in his bed as he recovered from his unstable emotional breakdown…
Hinata sat next to him as he slept, but deep down inside Naruto something else was taking place. Deep down inside his mind he was in conflict. He found himself inside of a dark room of nothingness. He walked around trying to figure out where he was, he then put his arm out and attempted to create a chakra blade, it failed however. He then put his arm in the air and attempted to create a rasengan, but it failed.
He looked at his hands in confusion, then he formed some hand seals and attempted to create his shadow clones, it failed. So he came to realize that his chakra could not be used in this area. He continued to stare at emptiness until he saw a small light off to the corner of his left eye. He turned and faced the direction of the light, as he stared at it. It came closer and closer to him.
He stared at the light and reached for his pocket, however when he tried to locate a weapon; instead he found nothing. He stared at the light as it came closer, nothing showing any fear or signs of worry. He only stood there waiting for the source of the light. He then turned his back and saw a man standing right behind him. This man was wearing a white long coat of something kind that had symbols on the back; his hair was blonde and spiky just like his used to be. He had a Konoha head band on his forehead and he wore a Junin ninja military jacket under his long white coat.
As Naruto stared at him more, he then realized who it was…
"You are the 4th Hokage" stated Naruto
"So you do recognize me, then"
"Yes I do… father" replied Naruto
"Naruto, I haven't seen you since the day you were born" said Minato as he smiled
Naruto just closed his eyes…
"Listen Naruto, I had to do what I needed… had I known the village was going to treat you like this then I would have sealed him inside someone else, but…" said Minato before Naruto cut him off
"Save it… what I want to know is, is this really you and how did you get inside my mind" asked Naruto
Minato just let out a sign and smiled at Naruto…
"Its really me, in one way or another… I was able to see you again through your dreams, you see Naruto… you are the one how brought me back here, however I am dead so this is the only way I can see you again" said Minato
"You are telling me that my mind summoned you hear… I guess it all makes sense" said Naruto
"Naruto, for this one time I have been allowed to see you again… you are the one who brought me back… however I didn't come back so you could yell at me" said Minato
"I wasn't planning on yelling at you" said Naruto
"Good… listen, I know about everything that has happen to you over the past… I don't agree with him or your mother… your mother should have let them exile you, at least then she would have been able to care for you… your mother had him leave you alone all this time, he said he would care for you but your mother had him leave you alone" said Minato
"Who is him?" asked Naruto
"The Golden Warrior, the god who said he would watch over you" said Minato
"That's bullshit… I don't need him" said Naruto
"Listen Naruto… I don't approve of you destroying Konoha" said Minato
"Don't even bother trying to change my mind, because they will all die no matter what you say" said Naruto
"I know… I am not going to convince you to let them live, I am dead now and I have no right to interfere in your life anymore… however you will have a tough road ahead of you… Naruto unless you can unlock your full power then you will never be able to defeat Madara" said Minato
"Full power… my chakra level is at max, how there be more" asked Naruto
"There is more then you realized, when I sealed the power of the Kyuubi in your body, I also sealed half of my own power inside your body… once you have unlocked all of it you will be able to defeat Madara" said Minato
"Madara Uchiha is the one Pein wanted me to kill before I killed Yahiko" said Naruto
"Madara is more powerful then you realize, and once he takes over Sasuke's body he will be even more powerful then before" said Minato
"So he took Sasuke under his wing after all" said Naruto
"So you saw it coming" asked Minato
"Yes, ever since Pein told me the truth about Itachi and the Uchiha clan… I knew Sasuke would find out and want to destroy Konoha, and I knew Madara was going to be the one who told him" said Naruto
"I guess you are much smarter then even I… you have grown up so much…" Minato soon cuts himself off
He lowers his head and begins to cry a little…
"Naruto I am truly sorry… everything that has ever happen to you, I never intended for all this to happen… had I known I would have never done it… but its too late now, you have a mission now… like I said, I do not agree or approve, but I am your father so no matter what you do I will always love you and I will always be with you… I am sorry you were mistreated, beaten, left for dead… I am sorry you were chased by Akatsuki, I am sorry you became a ruthless killer, and I am sorry you no longer have your emotions… you have a mission now, and once you finish this you will finally venture from the darkness and find the light" said Minato
Naruto just stared at Minato, however he didn't have his normal look anymore. He had a different look in his face, like somewhere deep down inside he wanted to cry and share this moment with his father.
"I know I am no longer your son, but for the first time in years I feel like a piece of me had died" said Naruto
"No Naruto, no matter what you do, you are my son… and I know your mother still loves you, she is just emotionally unstable right now" said Minato
"I know it was your village and you loved it so much but it has to die… and I have no choice but to kill my own mother" said Naruto
Minato just stared at the ground and continued to tear up…
"You do what you must, you are the child of destiny… you have suffered too much not to make them pay, and even if I was alive I would be right there with you destroying the village" said Minato
Naruto just turned around and stared into nothing…
"Father, who is the golden warrior" asked Naruto
Minato just looked up and stared at Naruto…
"I don't know… he has no name, I only know what he looks like" said Minato
"One more thing" replied Naruto
"What is it" asked Minato
"Who is the 13th Jinchuuriki" asked Naruto
"Well I am not sure, but I know it's someone you know" answered Minato
"Very well then, until the after life… this is goodbye" said Naruto
"Good Bye my son" said Minato
Naruto soon woke up from his dream and sat up on his bed…
He stared around and saw Rock Lee standing out a window and Hinata sitting right next to him…
"Hinata" said Naruto
"Yes, Lord Naruto" asked Hinata
Naruto stared at her and once again a tear ran down his face, out of no where a tear ran down his face. He stared at her, soon he jumped forward and kissed her on the lips.
