AN: Alright, some more reviews! I won't give everything away, but I will try to answer everything to the best of my ability. Sorry if you thought I stopped writing, but I was catching up on school.
Awesome guy: thanks.
bankai777: They will fight Orochimaru during the invasion, but I won't disclose just yet if they fight Danzo or not.
Facebreaker17: More to come, promise.
Darklight-Dragon21: I know, but I recently read a good fic about Naruto leaving to Kumo after being betrayed. Besides, I thought about Iwa, but decided against it, they hate the Yondaime, and aren't about to let his sons enter their village. Kiri is in civil war, and Sound is also a bit repetitive. In Suna they would be found since their in alliance with Konoha, and Taki probably wouldn't treat them much better.
Gold Testament: Sorry, I forgot to specify, but they are at the Border between Hi no Kuni(Fire Country) and Yu no Kuni(Hot Water Country). Yes, they do have a Hiraishin marker, but they also want to say a final goodbye to their friends. If your talking about Sage Mode then you will have to wait and see.
Animaman: Yep, they will reveal some stuff, but his friends already knew about their parents neglecting them, but not about the mobs because they didn't want them to get involved and have them hated for protecting them.
Guest: They might, but not for more than a few days.
Awesome guy: you're welcome, and as I said before, only if I get a lot of requests for one. And yes, they will look badass.
Guest (3): I know, but it was an important part of their development in the story, I easily recognize that it's not original. It's been used a lot of times, but I thought it would be a good way to start the story off. Also, anybody who was expecting them to be in the Wave Mission, I regret to inform you that they will not be a part of it, as it's out of the way for them to go to Kumo, though they may take a detour to Oto. If I do get enough requests for Wave, I might do it. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Anko also has the snake contract in the last chapter, my apologies.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, you should know this.
Double Nightmare Chapter 5: Truths Divulged
Previously on Gods Among Men…
"Come on, we have to go after him. He couldn't have gone past the border. They said that they also gave notes to their friends. They are probably looking for him too." Nodding, she made sure that Mito and Naruko didn't leave, and they were off towards the gate. Along the way, many others joined including, Kakashi, Gai, Kurenai, and Asuma. When they reached near the border they saw the two walking and immediately sped in front of them. They wouldn't let Naruto and Tsuneo leave so easily.
Running swiftly, Minato we reflecting on why they had run away in the first place. His oversight was the cause of this, he couldn't place the blame on anyone else. He had constantly ignored them and made them out to be liars. Sighing, he remembered one of the days he regretted most.
-Flashback-
Naruto and Tsuneo were watching their sisters trying to do the tree-walking exercise, but couldn't because of the Kyuubi's chakra making their chakra control terrible. They kept cheering them on, saying they were almost there, when they were only halfway up the tree. Later the boys were outside in the same place, they mastered the tree-walking exercise easily and wanted to show their parents.
"Tou-san! Kaa-chan! Come here please!" They called simultaneously.
"What is it Naruto, Tsuneo?" Kushina asked, Minato behind her. They then demonstrated their achievement.
"Pretty cool, right?" Naruto asked smiling. But…
*Slap!*
"How dare you try to show up your sisters by accomplishing something they can't! Now go inside!" Kushina yelled.
"But…" Naruto said, tears at his and Tsuneo's eyes.
"You heard your mother, now go inside. Now!" Minato stated angrily. Scowling, they went inside and went to their room, slamming the door. In the parents' eyes, they were being brats for trying to show up their sisters. They couldn't be more wrong…
-Flashback End-
Minato frowned, he had really messed up. He didn't think of exactly why a few of the jonin in the village were following until now. He guessed these were the friends Naruto was talking about in the letter. He remembered as well that there were a few paintings in Naruto's and Tsuneo's room, which were the only things unique about it. They started out as happy ones which were painted or drawn when they were younger, but as they got newer, they were of darker themes.
The latest one had the boys in ANBU uniforms, Naruto holding a fox mask and Tsuneo holding a wolf mask. Naruto had a tattoo on his left shoulder with The Kanji for 'Hated'. Tsuneo had one on his right shoulder with the Kanji for 'Unknown'. They were standing on a mountain, with black chokutō blades on the ground, they're handles glowing an ominous red and purple. Next to them were a moderately sized fox and wolf. The rest of the family was at the bottom of the mountain, looking the other way.
The boys' eyes glowed dangerously in the picture, they both had cold glares on their faces with a scowl. In their hands that weren't holding the masks, Naruto had a Rasengan, but dark red in color. It was spinning furiously. Tsuneo had a black, silverish Chidori, which blazed violently, lightning hitting the ground. The family had nearly been brought to tears at this. Had they really done this to them?
Shaking from his thoughts, he raced on, faster than before. When they arrived at where they had sensed the boys' chakra. Lo and behold, there were Naruto and Tsuneo, their backs turned, and near crossing the border. Moving quickly, they jumped in front of them.
"Naruto! Tsuneo! Where do you think you're going?" Minato asked. They frowned. "Why did you come after us? We told you not to." Naruto said.
"We're not going to let you leave, my Musukos(Sons)." Kushina replied. The boys' gazes turned to her at this. Their cold, emotionless eyes pierced her soul as if they were looking through her.
"Don't call us that, you don't have that right anymore." She nearly broke down when they said this. But she managed to keep strong, but just barely.
"Don't think you can stop us. We have been planning this for weeks, and we won't let you ruin this opportunity." Minato steeled himself and said,
"Then we'll just have to force you back to Konoha." Minato, Kushina, and the jonin all prepared to fight. The boys turned to the jonin. Their stances were shaky,. They were holding back.
"Why do you hold back? If you truly want us to go back, then you will have to fight at full power." The jonin stiffened, then dropped their stances completely. They couldn't do it.
Kakashi spoke first.
"Sorry Minato-sensei, but I can't help." Kurenai, Asuma, and Gai all nodded. With that, they took off back to Konoha. Minato and Kushina were shocked, but quickly got in stance again. Minato charged first. He went to grab Naruto, but he disappeared in a red lightning flash.
'Impossible! The Hiraishin(Flying Thunder God)? How did they learn it?' He couldn't dwell on it more because Naruto kicked him away. Then Kushina came for Naruto as well, but had to dodge a Rasengan from Tsuneo. Then, she heard a high-pitched sound, and she suddenly doubled over and vomited. Panting, she had to go on one knee to recover.
'What the heck was that?! Whatever that was, it hurt alot.' Minato instantly was by her side.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah." She replied. Panting once again, Kushina then rushed toward Naruto, even though the ringing in her ears was still present. Minato then headed for Tsuneo, not wanting his wife to handle that feeling again.
*With Naruto and Kushina*
Kushina rushed towards Naruto, a slight limp in her step. Steeling herself, she brought out her katana and Naruto held his chokutō blade. Sparks flew as each tried to gain the upper hand, but could not. They were evenly matched. Suddenly, the air around Naruto distorted like in his battle with her earlier. Then, she heard a crackling, and Naruto's voice.
"Raikiri(Lightning Blade)!" Then, she suddenly felt immense pain. She looked down to see Naruto's hand, covered in lightning, going through her stomach. Gasping, she fell to the ground.
"Why, Naruto?" She asked.
"Because, you treated us like trash, and hated us for accomplishing something the twins couldn't. You even seemed to resent us because of the soul of the Kyuubi inside us. You didn't train or defend us in any way, we got this strong because of our friends and hard work, not you. The plan to train us when we became genin had a little flaw. Because if you started training us, that would not only look like favoritism, it might not work because the village wants to keep us weak, so they would probably have a Yamanaka erase our memories of jutsus, and have stunt our growth.
"And speaking of the villagers, you never believed they would attack us, which they did, because you decided to take their word over ours." the more she thought about it, the more Kushina realized everything he said was true. Getting up shakily, she prepared to fight again, but Naruto hit her on the back of her neck, effectively knocking her out. He then left to help his brother.
*With Naruto and Minato*
Minato was fighting with Tsuneo, using his Hiraishin kunai to battle with Naruto's staff, which had turned into a scythe. It was obvious he was losing, he didn't have anywhere near as much experience as Kushina did in swords. While they were fighting, Minato heard and saw everything Naruto had said, and was shocked. Did they really think that? And why now did they disclose this information? Tsuneo used this opportunity to kick Minato in the face, sending him flying. Tsuneo then appeared behind him and stabbed his arm. Holding it in pain, Minato was also knocked out by Naruto, who had sneaked up behind him. Making sure to Shunshin(Body Flicker) them back home discreetly, after all they didn't hate them, they were just disappointed in them, they then left for the border for Yu no Kuni.
*In Konoha*
The jonin honestly did not want to hurt the boys anymore by bringing them back home where they were hated and neglected. They deserved a better life. So they let them go. They could be punished or even killed for treason, but they didn't care, they just wanted Naruto and Tsuneo to have a happy life. They then saw for a brief second the boys with their parents over their backs. Dropping them at the hospital, they left in a Shunshin. The jonin all went to see the Hokage and his wife. Anko and Yugao also came with them to see the couple. They gasped at what they saw. Kushina had a hole in her stomach, while Minato had a hole in his left arm, and was swelling around that area, showing that it was poisoned. Naruto and Tsuneo really did a number on them. They wanted to hate the twin boys for this, but could not, seeing as they kind of deserved it for treating them like dirt for so long. Steeling themselves, they jumped away, leaving them with much to think about it.
AN: Sorry for not updating, but I am taking a vacation, and unfortunately have become ill. I will hopefully feel better tomorrow and shall update again soon. And sorry about not revealing everything to the jonin as well, but it was part of the plan to have them go back and not fight. I will have Minato and Kushina reveal what the boys said next chapter. I apologize for any misspellings, dang autocorrect.
