The Change Of Kyuubi:
Chapter 6: The Explaining."Naruto… You better explain why the Hell did you free the Kyuubi!" The Hokage yelled. "What were you thinking? Did it not cross your mind that it could have killed you!? Not even a second!?" Oh… She was angry. But Naruto was sure she would understand.
"Calm down, Obaa-chan!" He still was somewhat afraid of the older woman. "I did think about that, but then I saw Sayomi sitting on his head and the possibility of him being dangerous was just gone!" He explained. It was hard to, as he never really thought much about that.
"So What!? Besides, how come you…" Then she turned to Sayomi, raising her voice. "…ARE KUUBY'S SISTER!? He is a monster! You are human!"
"And what gives you the right to say my brother is a monster!?" The now pissed girl yelled. She got angry with the Hokage, as she had accused her brother of being a 'monster'. He was a demon, but not a monster. They did not know what that word meant. They have never seen a real monster.
"He has burned our village to ashes 16 years ago! That is why I can call him a monster!"
"You don't know half of the real story, so don't just judge him for that..." Sayomi would have pounced at the Hokage (something even Naruto saw as stupid as she was no near the sannin in strength) is Naruto had not held her back forcefully. 'Stop it, nee-san.' He commanded. The white-haired woman did not calm down a bit. However, she revaluated the situation she was in and thought better not to continue.
"What?" Kakashi was the first one to show any reaction.
"The stories you heard are not entirely true… There was a third part involved…" As Naruto answered he did not let his gaze off his sister for a second, afraid she would still pounce at the Senju. "Madara Uchiha. He did not die in the fight with the Shodai Hokage. He lived and when he heard of a chance to get the Kyuubi, he took it, invading Konoha the day I was born and preventing my father from sealing the fox back into my mother. She died because of the strain from Madara removing the demon fox from her on an already weakened state. My father had seen him, but he did die before having the chance to tell anybody."
"Well, not exactly him, but someone under his command… Going by his name." The Kyuubi's sister then spoke, shocking all of those present even more.
"Who?" For the first time since his test, Ibiki spoke. A question. He was, after all, the one most eager to uncover every single piece of information he could.
"We don't know yet… Unfortunately, we only know he goes by his name and has somehow contact with the real deal." The blond-h answered.
"Naruto, you do understand that all of this you are telling me just makes the need for a council meeting even bigger, don't you?" Tsunade said, disgusted by her own words.
"I do, obaa-chan. However, if we are going to stay, we should help in any way we can… That is with information. For now…"
"Alright then… But you have not answered my question, 'Kyuubi's sister'." And it all came back to that…
"I don't think it is necessary for me to enlighten all of you with the story of how that happened. I believe you all know how. Same parents and all…" The sister replied, causing a blush to appear on both Sakura's and Hinata's cheeks. Kakashi did also blush, however for another, perverted reason. "No, I'm kidding. We are not born that way. We came to be from the Juubi, a ten-tailed demon that was separated into 9 new beings. 10, if you count me, who was made from both a small amount of the Juubi's chakra and the Rikudou sennins's, explaining my human appearance."
Silence struck. It had been too long since they have had a real conversation. One in which they thought Naruto was alive and he could actually answer. Long since one in which he was standing in front of them.
"Hum… S-Someth-thing i-is both-thering m-me…" The shy Hyuuga broke the silence, stuttering as always. "If you have re-relea-ased th-the K-Kyub-bi… Wh-why d-did I-I see h-his ch-chack-ckra in-insi-side y-you, Na-naru-uto-k-kun?"
"Oh, right! I forgot about that!" The blond ex-ninja scratched the back of his head. "We sealed him temporarily. But I do want to release him… Can I?"
"NO!" All of them were quick to answer, afraid of what could possibly happen if they took too long to do so.
"Okay… All right! I get it! Not today…" And he pouted. He had taken a liking to the fox too. As if he were also his brother. He missed being able to see him at all times.
"Just wait until after the meeting… If it goes well, maybe we can arrange that…" Tsunade replied, affected by her almost-son's pout and saddened eyes.
"Really!?" The old Naruto returned, eyes bulging and tears of happiness falling. "Thanks, baa-chan!"
"Don't call me that!" The boy only had the time to stop his ridiculous commemoration before the woman's right foot connected to his face and he flew a few meters away, falling hard into the ground painfully.
"So mean!"
Everyone laughed.
After a few minutes, both newcomers walked down Konoha's main street, the taller one with a huge, red bulge on his head (from the Hokage's kick), going to the well-known Ichiraku Ramen.
Getting there, they were met with a rather unfortunate sight: Gai and Lee – the weirdest people Naruto knew. Even more unfortunately, they noticed them both and Lee immediately called their attention. The blond cursed under his breath as Sayomi looked back, hearing someone calling her brother's name.
"Naruto!" Lee yelled. With no chance of escaping, Naruto turned to the bowl-headed ninjas. "See, Gai-sensei! I told you he had been back!"
"Naruto! You are indeed an youthful ninja! You are back!" The older man exclaimed. Naruto thought the encounter had not been as bad as he had expected. They have not hugged each other with that sunshine, rainbow genjutsu… Spoke too soon. "I AM SO SORRY I DOUBTED YOU, LEE!" And they did exactly as he foretold.
Sayomi widened her eyes in shock from the extremely abnormal scene in front of them, not used to those two as all inhabitants of Konoha were. In her point of view, they looked like some crazy pandas (maybe the crazy part was correct) in that position.
"Let's go… They will take a while to stop…"
"Alright…" It would take many days to make her delete that image from her memory… Many… Many days… And she was dragged away, both their appetites long gone. Their new destiny: the Hotel.
Getting there, they both sat cross-legged on Naruto's bed and they began talking.
"Why can't we let onii-san out?" The white-haired woman inquired, forming a pout on her lips and putting both her elbows on her crossed legs, palms holding her chin.
"Because we can't risk him doing anything stupid and getting us both kicked out! You know how he loves teasing and going all I-am-the-powerful-Kyuubi-and-I-will-eat-you-thing!" He replied, praying for the hard-headed-girl in front of him to understand.
She did not reply, so he took that for understanding. However, Sayomi did change the theme: "So… Do you like the Hyuuga girl?"
"What? Hinata?" He seemed surprised.
"Yeah."
"Um… I never really thought about that… She's nice, I guess… But I don't think I like her…" He finished, a bit uncomfortable for never having considered that Hinata was a girl at all.
"So that is a not yet?" She inquired.
"I guess so… Why?"
"No reason… I'm going to sleep until the meeting is called. Good night." And she was gone to her room.
Naruto did not say anything else, instead he only laid down on his bed, thinking about those strange questions until a knock on his window caught his attention. Sakura. Oh, God… He couldn't catch a break!
He did not want to talk to her. Three years ago he had broken his ninja-way, he had broken a promise to her… Even if Sasuke was brought back, it wasn't by him. However, he knew it would not be polite to leave her standing outside his window and pretend she wasn't there – or so did Sayomi tell him once.
Deciding in favour of hearing her out, the blond let her in and waited for her to say something, still ashamed. "Naruto… I just wanted to welcome you back and say I'm glad you're back… You can be part of team 7 again, if you want…"
"I would like that… Thanks, Sakura-san…" The "-san" shocked her. Was he afraid of her hating him because of the Sasuke promise long ago?
"And, Naruto… I am not mad because of you breaking your promise that time… You did your best and, besides, he is back and you too." Now it was Naruto's turn to be shocked.
"Thanks…" Finally, he smiled as he used to do and Sakura left, glad to have made everything clear to him and not feel guilty anymore.
A/N: Wow… It's been a while since I last updated… Sorry, kind of an author's block… Even though it was sooner than I expected.
Hope you have enjoyed!
