A/N: I know I need to update the others but I feel for some reason I have to post this chapter even though I don't know why. I give you a warning now, I'm going to post some things in this chapter that will show me and you if you truly are into this story or not. I'm sorry about what happened last chapter but this will clear things up about it. I will be starting a poll on my profile soon as I'm going to put a hold on two stories and as of the day of my birthday March 22 the poll will close and whatever two stories were chosen will be put on hold for six months or until the open two reach twenty five chapters. I really hope you will forgive me for last chapter.
Naruto was just leaving the village when he stopped and felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned and saw the three people who mattered most to him. Kakashi, Shinatobe, and Kagetsuchi smiled and all three joined in a group hug with our favorite blonde. Naruto broke down and cried in his mother, father, and sensei's arms.
"What am I going to do without her?" The three people knew better than to answer, out of all Kakashi understood the most of what he was going through.
"Naruto when I was younger about seventeen it was a couple of years after the attack of Kyuubi. I had a girlfriend who was on my team, Rin. After Minato-sensei died and so did Obito we felt it was just us in the world. Rin became pregnant after a night when we got drunk. We both feared what would happen not knowing what was going to happen or how we were going to make it through after the child was born. Rin went shopping one day while I was out with Kurenai, Gai, and Asuma. When I got back I found her dead, she was eight months pregnant expecting an early birth and found her," Kakashi paused. "We founder stomach ripped open and the baby nailed with a kunai to the wall in our apartment. The message written in blood on the wall said "This is what happens when a hero breeds" after that event I almost considered suicide my self just to feel them once again and be reunited. But you want to know what saved me?" Naruto nodded. "You. I was charged to watch you and if I could be there if only for a while. I figured out you were Minato's kid early on and felt, this was my reason, this is what I have to live for to be able to see this life grow happy and healthy. Your parents had me watching you while they worked." Naruto's eyes widened as he remembered an ANBU member with a dog mask that would play with him and treat him like he was his little brother or even his own. "Don't give in to the darkness Naruto find your light and grasp it. Cherish it and never, NEVER let go Naruto for when you do it will all be over." Kakashi finished and Naruto had given the now tear soaked silver headed man a bone crushing hug.
"I will Kakashi-sensei I will find my light even if it takes to the end of my days, I will find my reason to live." Naruto gave a kiss to his mom and his dad and gave his sensei another embrace and heard running. Naruto got a fist to his jaw but was caught and smothered into Tsunade.
"You dumb dumb blonde. WHY DIDN'T YOU COME SAY GOODBYE DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW YOU MADE EVRYONE FEEL JUST LEAVING LIKE THAT!" Naruto frowned but put his finger to her lips to try to silence her but Tsunade slapped him. "Don't you dare try to silence me Naruto Namikaze don't you are ever try that." Naruto just hugged her saying he was sorry while sobbing and she gave him a hug back leaving some damp spots on his shoulder showing that there were tears there. Naruto began to sing to Tsunade.
"When you feel you're alone
Cut off from this cruel world
Your instinct's telling you to run"
Tsunade dug her head into his shoulder and the others of The Rookie twelve showed up and listened to the soothing music.
"Listen to your heart
Those angel voices
They'll sing to you
They'll be your guide
Back home"
Tsunade was starting to really cry when the twelve all joined the two in a large embrace.
"When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
It keeps us kind"
The twelve all started to cry for their friend and all were starting to be soothed as Sakura, Kakashi, and Sai worked to the inner of the circle and laid their arms directly on Naruto. Even Sai who didn't show emotions or read books to start to understand instinctively cried for his best friend and teammate. Another figure walked up to them and dove into the circle working in between Naruto and Tsunade and Kakashi, the figure was Sasuke and he was crying as well.
"When you've suffered enough
And your spirit is breaking
You're growing desperate from the fight
Remember you're loved
And you always will be"
Sasuke started apologizing to Naruto and everyone under his breath of being an asshole and to Naruto that he really did love him as a brother.
"This melody will bring you right
Back home"
Naruto himself wrapped his arms around all of Team 7 and Tsunade and continued.
"When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!"
As Naruto finished the soft song and opened his eyes to see everyone around him crying for him and surrounding him he saw them and smiled softly and thought why he should ever leave this place. The group of seventeen ninja and kunoichi all stayed there for another few minutes and Naruto changed his mind
'I'm never going to leave this place again. Shion if you're up there with our baby, just wait, I'm going too continue to live her and when I meet you again we will have that moment you always talked about.' Naruto smiled and thought of all his friends.
Deep in an old abandoned ROOT center there were some weird men and women at work as they had finished restoring the final room and someone walked into the room.
"Status report Wakizushi"
"The chamber for SN-1 and SN-2 is now official finished."
"Good we shall move the body in here tonight."
Naruto arrived home and as soon as he reached the gate to his house he saw the restriction tape. He cut the tape with a kunai and walked inside. When he reached the door he should have seen the kicked in door but he didn't. Naruto grabbed a bucket full of water, a bucket of soap and water, and an empty bucket. He also grabbed ten rags and stripped to his pants and even removed his necklace. He noticed as he went for the necklace it was missing and remembered putting it around Shion's neck the morning that he found her. Naruto immediately went up to their room and saw the blood hadn't been cleaned. Naruto took out a rag and proceeded to soak it in water ring it and wipe some of the blood up. He strained the water and blood rag into the empty bucket and he proceeded to do that process over and over till the blood was removed. With every wipe came a painful memory of Shion. When he finished he got out the hard scrubbing sponge and proceeded to scrape and continued to the point he was scraping his hands with it and actually bled onto the floor from skinned knuckles. Naruto stopped and stared at the spot where the blood was and started to cry. He fell back into the wall head on his knees a hand on his forehead and just cried till there were no more tears left to shed. Naruto cleaned his blood scrubbed the spot and wiped it clean. He wrapped a single layer of gauze around his fingers. Naruto put a shirt on and left for the bar.
Naruto came to the Kurosuko Dinner and Bar. He went and sat at the bar and ordered some sake and asked him to leave the bottle and a large glass. Tsunade and Sakura joined Naruto on the bar and saw that he had been crying. Tsunade went to hold his hand only for him to wince and retreat. Tsunade saw his hand and immediately began unwrapped the knuckles.
"Naruto how did you do this you can see the bone on two of them!" Naruto just gave his head a shake signaling he didn't want to say.
"Naruto just for your own safety I am sending all of Team 7 to stay at your home for two months. Each member will move even their valuables into that house." Tsunade started to ask where his necklace was but he gave it to Shion the morning of the day they found her. Sakura gave him a hug and held him tight.
"Naruto I have a feeling that it shouldn't have been this way and in my heart I feel that it should've been the opposite. I feel that if you hadn't beaten Sasuke Shion would be dead, we all would be dead and Sasuke wouldn't have been humbled and left his pride and returned from his insanity. I know this is selfish of me but I'm glad Sasuke left and I'm glad that you got hurt you baka, it gave me and Tsunade reason to become more than friends to you. You will always be my brother, I love you Naruto." Naruto's chin shook slightly and he let a couple of tears fall and hugged her back and decided it was time to leave.
"Oh and Naruto."
"Yes ma'am?"
"Please relax as of now till I deem you read your shinobi license is restricted, same as for the rest of your team." Naruto thanked her and smiled. The two left the bar leaving Tsunade alone. Tsunade pulled a small picture of her on her first date with Dan.
"Oh Dan I hope he can find his resolution like I did."
Naruto walked Kakashi, Sakura, Sai and Sasuke into his house and he led them to the second floor where the living quarters were.
"Feel free to choose any room except the one with the buckets in it is my room." The team nodded. Sakura chose the room just to the side of Naruto, Sasuke chose the one across from Naruto's, Sai chose the one next to Sakura's and Kakashi chose the one next to Sasuke's. Naruto made some ropes and cut certain patterns into them and strung them from Sasuke's bedside to all of the different rooms of the house.
"Till you learn the layout of the building these will help you Sasuke." Sasuke nodded and all of the Ninja start unloading their belongings. Naruto went to his room and cleaned up the rest of his and Shion's blood and scrubbed the floor clean. He took the buckets out and smiled but for a weird reason kept a vial of Shion's blood which he dried to a crust in a small vial. He hid the vial in his hollowed out book where he also put his headband and the blood stained bandage that he had put on Shion's neck. Naruto gripped the bandage and grimaced but replaced it and just stared at the bandage and another item. Naruto picked up the small cylinder and rubbed his thumb across it. Naruto laid the item back down and closed the book and the chakra sealers sealed it shut with a pop. Naruto got up and went downstairs and started to prepare dinner as he had done for the hundredth time in the last two months. Naruto prepared a pork chop which was injected with some jalapeno and various other spices and some stir fry with the pork chop pieces in it. The smell was not unnoticed by the new residents and Naruto prepared each plate on the table which was made for twenty. When the others all sat down they started to east and could taste the different spices. Sakura started.
"Naruto this is good who taught you to cook?"
"Shion it was her favorite so I cooked it for her. It's the only thing I can cook without either barely under cooking it or over cooking and burning it." Sakura regretted opening her mouth and the whole company ate in silence. Sasuke smiled and decided to mess with Naruto.
"Only you would need a girl to teach you how to cook dobe." Naruto gave a playful glare and joked right back.
"Kaka-sensei if it is bothering you I would love to remove the guidance ropes so they won't bother you." Sasuke stuck his tongue out at Naruto. Sakura smiled at the two boys and Sai chimed in.
"Well dickless, flat chest, spiky, how can you possibly sleep with duck ass' snoring?" Everyone but Kakashi spewed their food. Sasuke than went on a rage about Sai and his stupid nicknames, Sakura bashed Sai on the head for calling her flat chested, but Naruto stood up and walked out of the room carrying an empty plate and headed to his room where he had a project he was working on. Kakashi sighed and everyone then noticed Naruto vanished. Sakura mumbled about him not excusing himself, Sasuke just grumbled at Sakura about her forehead being so big it blocked her view from seeing Naruto leave, Sai just smiled and watched the team bicker.
Naruto pulled out a small blue cover and attached it to a stack of paper and smiled at it.
"Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya". Naruto smiled and cried a little about finally finishing this and he decided to mail it out to Jiraiya's publisher the next day. There was a knock and Kakashi was in the door way in his slacks, his skin tight sleeveless under armor shirt with the face mask drawn up.
"Before you send it out do you mind if I read it tonight?" Naruto nodded and blamed it on Kakashi's lack of sleep. Naruto walked over and handed it to Kakashi but for some reason his fingers wouldn't let go and he saw why, there were seals going from Kakashi's arm down through the book and back into Kakashi.
"It's a good book Naruto you should send it in tomorrow. I think the publisher would like it; if not there is a guy in town that would sell it." Naruto smiled and replaced it into an envelope and prepared to take it to the post tomorrow. Kakashi walked back to his room and lay down on his bed and pulled out an exact replica of the book and started to read it. Kakashi smiled with every page at the way Naruto detailed the story. Kakashi turned over thirty minutes after he heard everyone fall to sleep; he closed the book and smiled.
"So Wakizushi how is SN-1 and 2's status right now." The woman turned to the man.
"She will be ready to expel in about seven months and three days. By then we expect to have a positive mutation in SN-2's DNA by then and extract B-9's chakra." The man smiled.
"Just remember to keep her stable and sedated. She probably wont be able to talk right or even sound right with the tube inserted into her throat but that isn't any concern. Just remember when SN-1 and SN-2's jobs are done dispose of them accordingly." When the man shut the door the paper sheet surrounding the figure shifted enough for the woman to see the near platinum hair and a certain green necklace round her neck.
Naruto woke up and felt a tugging sensation in the back of his head, Naruto popped out of his bed and appeared in front of the elder toad and Ma and Pa were there.
"Ma, pa what's up?" Than he noticed the old toad in front of him and knelt on one knee.
"Naruto-kun I'm sorry to say I have another prophecy about you. Or more specifically your wife and even more specifically your young daughter." Naruto's eyes light up at this and paid attention.
"Your daughter and wife shall be ripped from each other.
Even though you are near,
You shall not be able to approach from fear.
She will call your name thrice,
But the man has a knife,
He threatens with her life.
You flash and grab,
But it's not enough to stop the stab,
You will roar and scream,
As your world rips by its seam's.
Fear not as the life is saved,
By the hand of another,
One who you call mother,
And one who you call friend. I'm sorry I couldn't be more specific Naruto-kun but it is as I see and I see as it is. Good luck." Naruto nods and says thank you as he falls to the ground in tears. Ma and Pa flash by his side thinking he's in pain but he's laughing while he's crying.
"She's alive, she's alive, she's alive, she's alive, she's alive, she's alive, she's alive, she's alive, I cant believe it she's alive! YATTA!" Naruto is jumping up and down in complete joy at hearing the thought of his wife being alive. He's going be the dad of a daughter too. Naruto starts ranting on calling Tsunade to start an all out search of the elemental nation's and is slapped by Ma.
"Naru quiet down and come with us we want to show you something." Naruto follow the toads.
Back at Naruto's home the other residents wake up and worry but Kakashi finds the tell-tale signs of a reverse summoning.
"Don't worry guys he's just been summoned to Mt. Myobukaizan. Depending on how long he's needed is how long till he's back." Everyone sigs with relief and Sakura goes down to cook some food for the boy's.
"Doctor."
"Yes Wakizushi?"
"We have an irregular action displayed by SN-1. She said the name of NN. What should we do?"
"Up the dosage of the sedative from 150 mg to 165 mg and pray to Kami she goes." The young woman nods and walks over to SN-1 and delivers the pay load.
"It is done sir."
"Good come to me if there are anymore complications." The man turns to leave but the woman stares at SN-1 who is carrying SN-2 and just lets some tears slide down her cheeks knowing what she is doing is terrible and is despicable. She knows she's in to deep though. After all she did the damage and made a blood duplicate which sustained the final injury. By now the blood duplicate has vanished and the coffin is empty.
"Don't worry Miss I will find a way around all of this." She begins to write on a piece of paper and sends her wolf out with it hidden in a special organic sleeve in the animal's mouth. The wolf takes off to go to the woman labeled TS.
Tsunade had a EXTREMELY rough night where she had drunk thirty bottles of Sake and is only happy that she knew how to sort out toxins and heal her liver other wise she should be dead from Alcohol Poisoning. A scratch is heard at her door and she opens it to see a wolf with gruff hair and an eye patch answer to her by opening its mouth and using its tongue to slip a piece of paper out of its organic fold.
"What is this?" She picks it up and what she reads makes her drop the glass bottle she had in her hand and it shatters waking Shizune.
"LADY TSUNADE ARE YOU OKAY?" Tsunade covers her mouth with her free hand and nearly falls in place as the wolf takes off with Shizune's shooing.
"Lady Tsunade does that say what I'm thinking it does?" Tsunade smiled and grabbed her cloak and headed to the Namikaze mansion.
"Naruto was on his third bowl of insect food made by Ma, after a while you get used to the stuff and learn to just eat it or suffer her wrath.
"Naru we need to talk to you about something." Naruto's head perked at this.
"As the elder toad sage stated your wife is not dead," Naruto smiled but pa raised a finger to him, "She is kept in a state from what we can feel of fake death but we can sense her but the problem is he whole life force is spread through the whole village so we cant just find her your going to have to feel with Kurama's powers and your Sage powers to find her. Naruto smiled.
"But you're training to be able to discern from them and tell the right one from the fakes will take a long time about seven months at the moment. Is that ok?" Naruto nodded and only stated that he needed Tsunade to agree and he would be all set to do the training. Pa poofed and appeared in the Namikaze house hold.
The people at the table were surprised when a poof appeared at the table and Tsunade walked through the door smiling and crying with a red nose. Pa turned and smiled at her to which Tsunade bowed a little.
"Pa is Naruto with you?"
"Yes he is we came for your approval of him to learn a special technique to find the one who's hidden." Only Tsunade nodded to this.
"I got a letter from a source detailing what was being done to the hidden on and in eight months what will be of it." Pa smiled and nodded.
"I will bring Ma and Naruto here at once." Pa slapped his webbed hand on the table and with two puffs Ma and Naruto appeared in the middle of the table.
"Pa what's going on?"
"No time Naruto, Tsunade has info on the hidden one and what's happening to it." Naruto nodded and read the letter.
Dear Tsunade-sama,
I am afraid I can't tell you for a few months, seven to be precise, where I am. Just know that the woman known as SN-1 or Shion Namikaze is being held by an insane doctor named Tshimaru Hishorugane. What he is doing to her is keeping her on a feeding tube, which is damaging her throat severely, and waiting for her to have SN-2 or Naruto-sama and Shion-sama's child. "Tshimaru has found apart of the statue used to harvest the power of the Bijuu and is planning on taking the power being passed to Naruto-sama's child when it is born. This process will kill the child as it did with all of the Jinchurriki it harvested. After the child dies I am to dispose of the body and of Shion-sama. I am trying my best to make sure it won't happen but for some reason every time I try to take the piece of the statue its keeping place has been changed. Don't worry I will make sure with all my might his plan fails. The body you all buried was a blood clone. The blood was hers but it was transferred to the clone and by now the clone has vanished. I knew that the necklace was Naruto-sama's that was on her I have it hidden away. Through your chakra Tsunade-sama you should be able to find the necklace. Also when it is time I found a small sliver object sticking out of her thigh I saw it was a signaler. I will pop the signal as soon as it is time to come and find her. Please find her in time. I will signal right after the birth of the child.
WH over and out.
Naruto unconsciously drew on Kurama's red eyes and he could here the two entities in his head calling out for him to find her and take her back.
"The plan is of the devil. Baa-chan I need to leave for seven and a half months on a training trip with Ma and Pa." Tsunade nods and gives them her approval. Naruto runs upstairs and grabs a few things from his room namely the gauze, the signaler, and the vial of blood.
"Baa-chan this has Shi-koi's blood in it when the day come have the Inuzuka's involved and this cylinder I'm giving you is full of her chakra have the Hyuuga's track it. This small sliver item is the signaler I had it set to send a huge electric pulse through our bodies to say that it is good to go. I'm going to give the chakra and blood to you and I'm going to keep the transmitter. I'll see you later Ma and Pa want to go, later guys." Naruto gives them all hugs and disappears with a poof.
"Good luck Naruto." Spoke everyone.
A/N: Well I hope you liked it and I'm getting into the grove of writing larger chapter and am going to steadily improve the amount I write in the smallest amount of time. Well Ja-Ne! I will have the Burning leaves, Darkness falls, and Hells school up ion the next three weeks. For some reason though this is the only one I feel attached to.
