Saving old bonds
Chapter 30 (Revised)
Naoto was traveling at high speeds through the trees. She finally came to a clearing and there was now a large lake in front of her. The foot prints led her to believe they had crossed the lake. Naoto looked at the other side. There seemed to be a small island in the middle "Could that be their camp?" she wondered, but she saw no evidence of it from her side. She quickly gathered chakra in her feet and began running across the lake. When she got there, she found nothing, she tried to find more evidence of the direction they went in but to her surprise there were prints all over the place in every direction. Naoto knew what this was, it was a resistance misdirection hub. It was used by the resistance as a point where they all use to go wherever they wanted to go. If they were ever tracked back no one would ever be able to tell whose prints belong to who or the direction they went in. They would also move the hub very often so they wouldn't be able to post guards to fallow them
"But if this is a resistance hub, then that means they're not bandits, so why were they fighting back in the ruins?" Naoto wondered, she then looked at the sky "The moon is beginning its descent, its past midnight. If I continue trying to track them I won't get back home tonight. Mom is going to kill me…Who am I kidding, she's going to kill me anyway for leaving alone without telling her" She said as she let out a sigh "You're already in trouble, might as well make it worth it! Let's Find that boy!" inner Naoto demanded, Naoto sat down and closed her eyes. She began concentrating her chakra to her nose, making it more sensitive to the smells around her. It was a long shot since she knew his scent would be hard to find after waiting such a long time but she had to try. She took in deep breath from her nose trying to process all the different odors. She could smell the different animals in the area, the freshness of the water. She sat there in total concentration for well over ten minutes, it was very faint but she had detected the scent of iron in the air. She was trying to block out all other scents so she could concentrate on it, she focused on it, singling it out, she suddenly opened her eyes and got up in the direction she was confident the smell was coming from. Without hesitation, she began running across the lake, once on the other side there were no trace or evidence that anyone had used this route. The ground had no prints, but it didn't stop her from continuing her run in that direction
Meanwhile Toshiro had arrived at the ruins, he had a feeling that Naoto would be trying to find that boy again. And he was hoping that she would have started her search from the ruins. Once he arrived he found 2 dead sand ninjas, he was instantly afraid something horrible had happened to Naoto "This is bad, if anyone has dared hurt her, I will make them pay!" he said in anger. Which was out of character for the regularly calm captain, but he would kill anyone who would touch a single hair of Naoto. As his goddaughter, she meant the world to him. Suddenly he felt another presence, he quickly jumped to the top of one of the tallest remaining buildings, only to find a raven-haired man. He was meditating in the calmness of the night; he had not even bothered moving or getting up for Toshiro "Uchiha Itachi"
"Captain Hitsugaya Toshiro of the tenth division" Itachi simply responded without moving in the sightless
"Did you have anything to do with what happened here tonight?" he asked
"Of course" he simply said
Toshiro suddenly took out his Katana and was ready to strike "What did you do with her!" he demanded
"I don't know what you're talking about" he responded, not even getting up to defend himself against a possible attack
"Don't play dumb with me, what did you do with my subordinate!" he said as he took a step forward
"I am sorry, but the only people I have seen here tonight are the two scum bags I killed, and the daughter of the sixth Hokage" he said in the same calm tone of voice, Toshiro was shocked
"What? You're Hokage died twenty years ago, he has no daughter" Even though he knew it was a lie
"Who is playing dumb now? Don't insult my intelligence"
"How many others know…" he asked giving up trying to hide the fact since he obviously knew
"No one else, Sasuke may have suspicions but he has been too busy with our people to do a proper investigation. I have been keeping an eye on her from the very beginning"
Toshiro put his Katana away feeling that Itachi was not a threat "Then if you have seen her, where is she?"
"She went into the caves, and then she ran off in the direction of our secret camp, I don't know why though"
"You feel pretty confident about giving me the location of your camp"
"Again, you insult my intelligence, I know you already know its location, I have seen you scout around it. However, I know you're not a bad person, proof is in how you protect Sakura and Naoto. I have also seen you spare the lives of my people countless times, even witness you allowing them to get away with supplies. As much as you want us to believe you are our enemy, I know the truth" Itachi said continuing his meditation
"Well since you seem to know everything, tell me, do you have any information on the kid with the marks on his face?"
"What?" Itachi said opening his eyes for the first time as he looked at Toshiro
"I guess not" he said as he was about to leave to pursue Naoto
"Wait, you can't leave without telling me anymore" Itachi said as he got to his feet
"I don't know much, its Naoto who saw him. All I know is that she told us that she saw a kid about her age, blond hair, blue eyes with the leaf headband and on his face, were the same marks she has. Now unless you freedom fighters have begun using his image to try and gain the upper hand in some fights or he has returned"
Itachi's eyes widen. It was rare for him to be surprised by anything. But he had not returned to the hideout in a few days "I can assure you that we do not disrespect our Hokage by using his image to our advantage"
"Then I guess the only explanation is that either Naoto was mistaken, or…"
"That's impossible, he died, we all saw it. You were there, even your Kurokage declared him dead after Naruto failed to return months latter thinking he was too weak to survive the time vortex, she must have been mistaken"
"Well I believe that she is trying to track down that boy regardless of if she made a mistake in his appearance or not"
"If you're heading towards our base, then I am coming with you" He said walking towards Toshiro
"A night Ninja Captain and a Freedom Fighter working together?" Toshiro said surprised
"You want to find her as fast as you can, right? And I want to find out more about this…Boy, and as I said before I know you to be a good man. I have kept an eye on you for a very long time"
"Very well" he said, not even bothered by the fact that Itachi had been keeping tabs on him; they both began tracking down Naoto
Morning had come and Sakura was restless. She had not been able to sleep a single wink, she was worried sick about Naoto "When that girl comes back home, she is going to be in SERIOUS trouble" Inner Sakura screamed out "I just want my baby back…" Sakura responded "I want her back too, but she needs to be taught a lesson, she can't have us worried sick like this again!" Inner commented back "It's just getting harder and harder; she is growing up so fast. Soon I won't be able to stop her from doing what she wants and in a way, I shouldn't want to. But I am just so worried about her. She has more enemies then she knows, even within her own squad" Sakura told herself "Specially that big breast bitch Toshiro has as a vice captain, I see her with hateful eyes not only towards us, but towards our baby girl too! You should knock some sense into her, by the looks of it; all her brains fell into her breast!" Sakura sighs as she continued to look out the window for her girl to come back home
Naruto had woken up from a good night sleep. He was having breakfast thinking about how they were going to leave today to find Sakura. He didn't know what to expect, to him, the last twenty years didn't happen. But she felt every single one of those years go by, he felt horrible for not being by her side for any of those years. But his thoughts kept on coming back to Naoto, who was her father? Had Sakura fallen in love with someone else so soon after his presumed death? Or even worst, had she been abused? His mind was full of questions. But one thing was for sure, Naoto was as beautiful as her mother. He had wished that he could have been by Sakura's side to see her grow up, even if he wasn't the father. Suddenly a knock to his door brought him out from his thoughts "come in, its open" he simply said
Sasuke walked in "Hey idiot, are you ready to go?" He asked him
"Yeah, just finishing up eating"
"Good, put these on" he said giving Naruto a new set of clothing "Your cloths are full of dirt and blood, I am sure you want to look respectable when you meet up with Sakura again. At least I was able to find some orange and black clothing for you; I can't say it's a popular color with the other ninjas of our little community" he said with a grin
"What can I say? I was one of a kind" Naruto said with a huge grin "Thanks for the change of clothing though, I guess I hadn't thought about how dirty and bloody these cloths are" suddenly he looked at himself in the mirror, he was a total mess. He couldn't present himself to Sakura like this "Uh Sasuke, mind giving me about ten minutes to clean up?"
Sasuke tried not to laugh "Yeah, go right ahead. I will be waiting for you at the entrance" he said as he left Naruto's little house that was given to him as a new member of the resistance
Naruto quickly jumped into the shower and cleaned himself up. Once he dried himself he made sure his hair was perfect before he tied his headband. He then put on the clothing that Sasuke had provided him, they were very similar to his own orange and black outfit. He then took a look at his Namikaze cloak. He was happy to see that it had no rips or stains, it was a bit dirty but he was able to clean it up with a bit of water and scrubbing. He then put on his Hokage hat, he had debated whether or not he should put it on since it may get him some unwanted attention but he thought back to the day Kakashi had handed him the box with the hat in it. And now Kakashi was dead, along with many other good ninjas. He wanted to show his gratitude and respect towards his old fallen sensei by wearing it. Satisfied with his look he exited the building and made his way to the entrance where Sasuke was waiting for him
"Took you long enough" He said as he got up
"Yeah, yeah, let's just go" Naruto looked around "uh no one else is coming?"
"No, we are heading towards a night controlled village. The smaller our group is, the better"
"Although I wish you would take one of us with you" Shikamaru said as he and Kiba walked towards them
"I already told you…"
"Yeah, we know, at least you have Hokage Sama watching your back" Shikamaru added
"Guys, I already told you that I am no longer Hokage"
"Just because you went missing for the past twenty years and the fire nation is in shambles, doesn't mean you're no longer Hokage" Kiba said with a grin
Naruto knew that they still held a great deal of respect for him and decided not to fight them on the subject
"Alright idiot, lets head out. That village is a few days away" He said as the two of them left paradise behind
It had now been twelve hours since Naoto had begun tracking that blond boy. She had not stopped to rest even for five minutes. She didn't want to lose the scent, it was the only thing she had since she found no other traces, no foot prints, no damages branches. Nothing to indicate anyone had traveled here recently. All she had was that scent of iron that she had locked onto "It's getting slightly stronger; I must be on the right track" She thought to herself as she jumped from branch to branch as fast as she could even using chakra in her feet making her faster
At the same time Toshiro and Itachi were pursing Naoto but Toshiro was confused "Isn't your base this way?"
"Yeah, but if she is tracking our people, then they used one of our hubs before heading towards our base"
"Ah yes, your misdirection hubs, very cleaver" Toshiro said as they arrived at the small island before heading towards the base
Meanwhile Sakura was still waiting. She had not eaten or even moved from her spot in the window. Her eyes always fixed at the same location, the villages entrance, waiting for Naoto or Toshiro to return. She then began thinking back to when Naoto was younger
"FLASHBACK 14 years ago when Naoto is 4 years old"
Naoto had come home from her first day of school, Sakura had made her a very special dinner to celebrate the occasion "Mommy!" Naoto said jumping into her mother's arms
"Naoto! How was your first day?" she said as she led her daughter to the table
"It was horrible mommy, the kids made fun of my marks" she said crying
"Don't worry sweetie, they are just jealous of you. You are unique, you are special and those marks are a gift from someone who loves you very much"
"Really? So, I am not a freak then?" she said cheering up
Sakura was starting to get angry with the kids, they had called her sweet Naoto a freak? It brought back memories of her own childhood and how she was treated the same way just because of her forehead. Why did kids have to be cruel to one another? "Of course not, you are my little girl" she said with a smile
"Then mommy, why don't I have a daddy? Everyone else at school does" she said sounding sad
"Sweetie, you have a daddy, and he watches over you every single day. He is very proud of you and loves you very much"
"Really? wow, but I wish I could see him and talk to him"
"You can talk to him whenever you want sweetie" she said to Naoto
Toshiro walked into the kitchen with a small cake "Hey Naoto, look at what I have"
"CAKE!" Naoto's eyes lit up as Toshiro smiled at her
"Toshiro, you spoil her too much" Sakura said with a smile
8 years later, Naoto is now 12 years old and graduating from the ninja academy
"Mom! I got rookie of the year!" Naoto said as she ran into her house and hugged her mother bearing the night ninja headband proudly
"Really? That's so great; I knew you could do it"
"And I have been assigned to the tenth division, the instructor even said that Toshiro asked that I become his apprentice!" she said in an excited tone
"Now you're going to have to start calling him Sensei" She said with a smile
"Yeah, but it's going to be hard, I have known him for as long as I can remember. But I must pay him the proper respect"
Toshiro walked in with a small box and a large smile "Congrats on becoming the rookie of the year Naoto" he said as he gave her the box
"What's this Toshiro…Sensei" She said almost forgetting to say it. he handed her the small box. Naoto opened it with a smile. it was a gold necklace with the tenth division's logo on it "This is for me?" She said happily as she put it around her neck
"Yes, you are the first apprentice I take on since becoming a captain. I wanted to give you something special" he said as she hugged him
"Thank you Toshiro Sensei"
Sakura smiled at the two. Now it was her turn "Sweetie, I have something for you as well" she said as she handed her a larger box. Naoto was excited, as she opened the box, inside was a beautiful Katana. She wasn't sure if she would get one. She knew that all night ninjas normally received their Katana's at graduation but her name had been skipped. It was because Toshiro had told them she already had one
"WOW! Its beautiful mom" she said as she took it in her hand
"This Katana use to belong to your father, and it belonged to his father before him. Now it's yours, I believe that he will keep you safe through this blade" she said as she smiled at her
"You guys are the best! I want to go show everyone my new blade!" she said happily as she ran out of the house to see her friends
Toshiro sat down at the table as Sakura handed him a cup of coffee "I still don't know about letting her become a shinobi" she said as she sat with him with her own cup
"She needs to learn how to defend herself, I know your worried about her but I will be there to protect her. That's why I personally went to the Kurokage and requested she be made my apprentice"
"Didn't he ask you why?" she asked him concerned that it may have been a bad idea to get unwanted attention from the Kage
"Not really, I just explained to him that I thought it was about time I took on an apprentice and he agreed saying I could pick whoever I wanted" he said trying to assure her that everything was alright
"She is growing up so fast. And every day, she begins to act more like her father. I fear the day when I can no longer protect her, when she will be fully grown up and want to leave to live out her life, as she should, but I am just worried about her"
"I know, but I swear nothing will ever happen to her while I am able to take breath. It's a promise I made to you, and that I intent to keep" he told her
"Thanks Toshiro, I don't know where I would be right now if it wasn't for you" she said as she smiled at the young man
4 years latter Naoto was now 16
Naoto ran into the house crying as she ran to her room slamming the door. Sakura wanting to know what had happened ran up after her "Naoto, what's wrong sweetie?" she asked from outside the door "did something happen?"
"GO AWAY!" she simply screamed at her mom
"Sweetie, tell me what happened" Sakura said not giving up
"I don't want to talk about it, leave me alone" she continued to resist
Sakura knew that it was a cry for help. Naoto wanted her to come in and comfort her, but the teenager in her refused to give in. Sakura opened the door and saw Naoto crying her eyes out into her pillow, Sakura went to her side and held her "There, there sweetie, I am here. Now tell me what happened"
Naoto was still reluctant at telling her mother something like this, but she knew she would just keep on probing her until she would give in "I hate these marks mom, they are a curse!"
Sakura was shocked "What? Why? Did something happen again?"
"There is this boy I like, so I went to ask him if he wanted to go out tonight, he looked at me and said that he would never go out with a freak that had marks on her face"
"WHAT? WHO THE HELL IS HE, GET HIS NAME, THEN LET'S BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM!" Inner Sakura screamed out in anger "Then he is not worth your time hunny, you are beautiful. Just look at yourself, if he can't see passed your whisker marks then he is just a fool" she said as she held her daughter tightly "You know, when I was young, I was made fun of as well you know"
"What? That's impossible, look at you, your perfect" she said surprise that anyone would refuse her mother
"No one is perfect Naoto. When I was younger, people made fun of my forehead. For the longest time, I though no one would ever love me. But there was one boy who saw past my forehead, he saw me for who I truly was. That boy was your father Naoto, and I believe that there is someone out there for you too" she said with a smile
The next morning Naoto came down the stairs for breakfast. Sakura had noticed something different, her marks were gone "Naoto? What did you do?"
"I decided to cover the marks with makeup, at least this way people will stop making fun of me"
Sakura shook her head in disappointment; it would appear that her talk was not as effective as she had hoped it would be. But she can't really talk since she had done the same thing herself. she had used a ribbon to hide her forehead. Naoto would have to learn on her own that she should not change how she looks just so others would like her
END FLASHBACK
Naoto was thinking back to the night where her mother had told her that there was a boy out there for her. And perhaps this boy, with the same marks as her, was the one who was for her she thought to herself as she continued on wanting to meet the blond boy with the blue eyes again
Naruto and Sasuke had been traveling for over half a day when suddenly a blur just flashed by them, Naruto could swear it was a pink orange and black blur. They both stopped as did the blur "It's you!" The pink haired night ninja said staring at Naruto
Naruto was staring at her, specifically at her whisker marks "…Where did those come from? You didn't have them the last time I saw you" He asked her
But Naoto was still shocked. Not only did she just bump into the boy she was searching for, but the leader of the resistance was with him. Her instincts made her grab her Katana and to get ready to defend herself. It suddenly began to sink in as she realized she shouldn't have done this on her own. If the resistance captured her there was no telling what they would do to her. But the one she was searching for was now right in front of her
Naruto had not taken his eyes off of her; she had an orange and black outfit, although the orange was a lighter color then his, as the darker orange would have clashed to much with her hair. He then noticed a white strand of hair. But his eyes kept coming back to the marks on her face "Please, tell me, how did you get those marks?" he asked her again
Sasuke had not even taken out his weapon, he stood by Naruto's side. He knew doing anything else would confirm to her that they are hostile "They are birth marks, what about yours?" she asked him
Naruto ran his fingers on his own whiskers, unlike hers; his were not birth marks, they given to him only moments after he was born when the fox was sealed inside of him "I have had mine since the day I was born as well" which was technically true
There was an awkward silence, Naoto didn't know if they would attack her or not. She had not really planed how she would approach him once she met him but she never expected for Sasuke to be there either
Naruto on the other hand was jumping with joy, if what she had said was true then she was his daughter. Wait, if he had a daughter, then he was a father, he was a father? Loads of emotions began flooding him. When it suddenly hit him; yes he was a father, to a daughter that was about the same age as he is!
Naoto felt uneasy, why weren't they doing anything? Neither of them had taken out their weapons or gotten into a fighting stance, were they hostile or not? They were freedom fighters and she was a night ninja
Naruto on the other hand was trying to figure out how to tell her that he was her father, it's not like he could just go and say, oh hey, by the way, I am your father, I vanished twenty years ago in a time vortex while fighting in the war and now I have come back, give your old man a hug? Yeah, he could picture her thinking that he was a psycho. Not exactly the first impression that he wanted to give her. So he figured he would do the only thing he could do "How is your mother?" he asked her
"How would you know my mom? She has never left the village and we have never seen you before"
"I... Just know her, how is she?" he asked her again
"She is alright, although probably freaking out right now" Naoto said while lowering her weapon since she figured they were not hostile, at least not at the moment
"Why?" Naruto asked her
"Well after I told her about you, she and sensei got all weird and told me to stay at home while they looked into something. When I asked the reason, she told me nothing so, I kind of left without telling her, and she is really, really, REALLY overprotective"
"Yeah, she can be emotional at times" he said remembering how happy they were together only days ago, at least to him it was only days ago
"how would you know?" she asked him again
"Uh, stories that Sasuke here has told me, did you know they use to be team mates before the war?" he said trying to change the subject quickly
"She doesn't talk much about her past; she says it reminds her too much of my father" Naoto told him. She was finding it hard not to run up to him and hold him tightly, she didn't know why but she felt a connection with this boy. Maybe this was love at first sight? Or maybe this was what her mother meant when she said she would know when the guy for her would show up.
Suddenly two other presences had arrived "Itachi?" Sasuke asked confused
"Sensei?" Naoto asked equally confused at how fast he found her, also confused at why was he standing side by side with a freedom fighter.
"So it is you…Lord Hokage Sama" Itachi said as he got down on one knee and bowed his head
"Namikaze Naruto" Toshiro simply said "You have finally returned
"WHAT? Are you guys out of your MIND! How can he be the Hokage? He died twenty years ago… He was my father! So, he is NOT the Hokage"
This is what Naruto had feared would happen, Naoto was freaking out, and with good reason
"Naoto…" Toshiro said as he began walking towards her
"STAY AWAY FROM ME! WHAT OTHER LIES HAVE YOU ALL BEEN HIDING FROM ME?!" she said as she raised her blade again, but this time at her own sensei "Is this how you and mom want to treat me? Is this what you wanted to keep from me last night?"
"Naoto, I am sorry but… We didn't know for sure"
"You both always treat me like a child, like I can't handle things like this, news flash! I am almost nineteen!" She said in anger
"Naoto…" Naruto said as he tried to walk towards her
"Stay away from me, I don't know you, you're not my father! My father was a great man who fought and died for his country, I don't know who you are, as for you, I feel betrayed. Even if you weren't sure, you should have told me something, ANYTHING. Instead you kept me in the dark and I had to find out like this! So, stay away from me!" she said before she vanished in a pink blur
Naruto's and Toshiro's hearts were breaking apart, that's when Toshiro realize that he was in the middle of possibly the three most powerful leaf ninjas. although he had no reason to believe he was in any danger, he still had to be careful
Naruto began running in the direction Naoto left but Toshiro called out to him
"Let her go for now, it's useless. She is just like her mother when she gets In this mood, you will only make things worst"
"She is my daughter damn it! I want to be able to hold her and tell her everything will be alright, and who the hell are you, and how do you know so much about her? I have a feeling that you are more than just her sensei"
"Indeed I am, I have watched over her and her mother since the day she left the resistance, I am also Naoto's godfather, I promised Sakura that I would protect them both"
"So what, your saying you two are…" Naruto said wanting to literally beat the crap out of him
Toshiro realized how he just sounded and quickly cleared thing up "No of course not, we are just close friends…"
"What he says is true Hokage Sama, I have kept my own eye on them, and Sakura only loved you. Had it not been for Naoto, she may had taken her own life just to be with you again in the afterlife"
Naruto's eyes began to water realizing just how much he had missed, but he had to make things right, starting with Naoto, then Sakura
End Chapter 30
Wow, that was a long one, Naoto and Naruto have finally been reuinited, but things didn't turn out well now did they? to find out what happens next, you will have to wait for chapter 31, so read, rave, review!
