"They found Shikamaru guilty." was all Kabuto said. This hit Naruto like a load of bricks. The last mission they went on was to alter evidence against the organization. He remembered that everything went good until the end when Shikamaru didn't come out of the building behind them. He could see a door and no one else. "Where's Kiba?" Naruto asked in a panicked tone. "They already got him, he isn't going to be with us for long." Kabuto said as the door opened. Naruto could see two people lifting Kiba and dropping him down the chute in the wall.
"KIBA!" Naruto screamed as he shot up in his bed. He looked over and began to cry out again when he noticed that the area next to him was empty. "Kiba, why?" Naruto sobbed out as the door opened a crack. He looked up and growled as he noticed someone in full mission cloths walk in. "I'm NOT going to die." Naruto screamed out as he got up out of the bed and fell over because of a sharp pain that went up from his ass to his spine. "Damnit, just kill me already." Naruto cried out and before he knew it, arms wrapped themselves around him. "I'm not going to kill you, I could never kill the one I love." the person said. Suddenly it all clicked and Naruto looked up into the mask and reached around; pressing the power button for the face shield, revealing a face he was scared he would never see again. Naruto began to cry again when it all hit him. His first mission was that day and that's why Kiba was in his mission cloths. "Everything is going to be fine, as long as you get your mission cloths on and get out there. Everyone is waiting and we're due out in less then three hours." Kiba said through the mask. "Okay dear." Naruto said as he got up out of the bed and walked over to the closet. As he got his mission cloths on he noticed that they were a little looser fitting then before. "I think I haven't recovered from the crash yet." Naruto said as he put on a belt to secure his pants. As he walked out of his room Kabuto looked at him and shook his head. "You'll need to get a smaller pair of pants." he said as he opened the door. "First stop is central supply depot then the launching station." he said, walking with his pod mates in toe. "I can't fucking wait." Naruto said; his excitement evident in his voice. "You think that now just wait until we get there. We are going to be the only pod sent on this one." Kankuro said, turning his head. Everyone could see the look of concern on his face and thought deeply about it. "Yeah, its my first one…that's all." Naruto said, his tone a little down. "Don't worry, if we make it back after this as a pod we'll celebrate." Kiba said. "Very true, we will celebrate." Kabuto said giving Shikamaru a perverted look as they entered the control desk. "I need a smaller pair of mission pants for Naruto." Kabuto said as he walked up to the supply depot. Within seconds a plastic bag with pants was handed to him. "Here, put these on and join us in room four." Kabuto said as he lead the others to the mission briefing room.
After a few minutes, Naruto walked in with Izumo and Kabuto behind him. "Good, we are all here. Izumo, you have your orders already as do you Kotetsu. Kiba and Naruto are to be in the van working technical detail to shut down the security system. Shikamaru, Gaara, you two are to break into the records storage area and destroy any records of the organization you find with black ink or fire. Return technical records of planned events to the file after taking copies of them using the file stick. Kabuto and Kankuro, you two are to provide coverage for Shikamaru and Gaara when they are in. Naruto, be sure to also change the security system access passwords too so they can't enter their own facility. This is going to be a no kill mission. Understood?" Asuma said. "Also, remember to be safe and all of you come home." Itachi said. Everyone in the room nodded their heads. As they left the room Naruto looked over at Kiba. "At least we know we'll be together in the van." he said. "Yeah, you two will be together but remember that Kiba can be pulled out any time." Kabuto said. "You guys will be taking elevator two to the parking level where you are to go to spot 78 North and take that van to the target area. There shouldn't be much staff there since we'll be hitting close to 2AM." Asuma said as he opened the elevator doors. "If we're hitting so late then why are we getting ready so early?" Naruto said. "So when we arrive we are ready to act. That's how we can get a mission like this to last under 10 minutes." Itachi said. "I will be tagging along too so I can see how well you guys do." he finished.
As they drove down the street Naruto looked out the window and sighed. He knew this was going to be his first mission and hoped everything went well. As the van began to slow Kabuto stood up. "In a few seconds we will arrive at the target. Remember your mission details." he said as the van came to a stop. Within a matter of key strokes, the security system had been taken over. "Shit, there are armed guards." Naruto said after looking at the camera. He turned around and noticed everyone had already gone out. "Careful guys, the guards are armed." Naruto said as he slowly began to shut the system down. After only 3 minutes, he heard Kiba's voice come over the radio. "All units en route. Objectives completed."
The teams began to emerge, then Naruto noticed one thing; Shikamaru was missing. "Where is Shika?" Naruto asked. "He's a lost cause, we need to get out of here." Kankuro said. Without warning, Naruto burst out of the back of the van. "Uzumaki Naruto, get back here." Itachi screamed but it was to late, Naruto was already in the building. Without warning he found Shikamaru tied up with a guard keeping watch. "You should leave, the police are on their way." the guard said in a threatening tone. From the persons figure he could tell that they were female. "I fucking think not bitch." Naruto said before advancing. He felt a sharp stinging feeling in his fingertips and found that he was growing claws. "Get the fuck away from me." she screamed before her helmet fell off. All he saw were red markings on the persons face before blood went spraying in all directions. Shikamaru looks up in pure horror as the person looking down on him was cut in half and fell to the ground. "We're going now." Naruto said as he picked up Shikamaru and ran off for the door. On his way, he leaves a wake of bodies. Some dead, some severely injured, most critically injured. All he cares about is getting himself and Shikamaru out of there and to the van. Just as he got to the door he felt himself get shot twice. With the wounds quickly healing he dove into the van with Shikamaru. "HOLY SHIT WHAT HAPPENED?" Itachi screamed. All Naruto could say was a single word before passing out. "Tsume." Naruto said. Kiba looked at him with a scared but disgusted look. If she was there and was guarding Shikamaru he could only imagine how much of the blood covering Naruto's body was hers.
Kiba looked over Naruto and noticed the changes in his body. How his fingers were tipped with claws and how even the air around him seemed charged. "Central, en route back to base, one code orange with injuries unknown, one code red; two gun shot wounds." Kabuto said into the radio as they went through the streets. "Pod 5-4. Confirm. One code orange, one code red with two GSW, 6 front wave and two processing on board." he heard Sai say over the radio. "Confirmed and entering through door four, medic standby at elevator 3 requested." Kabuto said before ending. "We're back home. I'm not sure how badly Naruto will be injured but he did get shot twice." Kankuro said. In the deathly silence, two small thuds were heard near Narutos body. Everyone looked down to find two bullets had fallen out of him and the holes they came from were smoking as they sealed themselves shut. "Central, update on the code red, downgrade to code orange. Auto release of bullets has occurred." "Confirmed." they all heard Asuma say over the radio as they pulled into the parking garage. They were met by several medical unit staff and were all herded into the elevator.
When they reached the medical unit they were met by even more staff. After hours of working on Naruto and Shikamaru, it was decided those two would remain in the medical unit for a day for observation. As the others walked back to their pod from the medical unit, they were met with strange looks. Kabuto and the others had no idea why they were getting these looks until they reached the command desk. The TV was on and it showed the facility they had left with police, fire, and the medical examiner.
"It has been confirmed, the bifurcated remains of Tsume Inuzuka have been discovered within the facility along with a broken pair of hand cuffs as well as a pair of bloody foot prints leading to the street. While it is unclear who did this, the organization Akatsuki has been linked through this surveillance video." the reporter said. It showed Naruto running up to Shikamaru before the camera shut off for a few seconds and returned, showing the remains of Tsume Inuzuka laying in two pieces on the floor. "The person is unable to be identified but has been declared hostile and a threat to society by the police. We will bring you updates as soon as we have more to share." the reporter said before the camera panned back to the building with the numerous flashing lights bouncing off the walls of the building.
"Naruto." was all Kiba said before he made an abrupt turn back into the elevator. As soon as he reached the medical unit he walked into Naruto room. "What the fuck, did you not think I would find out?" Kiba screamed at Naruto who went to open his mouth to offer a reason. "You know, just shut the fuck up. I've had enough of you, we're done. Got it, done!" Kiba screamed before storming out of the room. He didn't even bother to listen to Naruto's cries for him to come back or anything; as far as Kiba saw it Naruto's actions were unnecessary and he killed his mother without just cause. When Kiba got into the pod Kankuro was on the phone. "Yeah, I'll tell him. He just walked in." Kankuro said before walking up to Kiba with a deadly glare. The others only heard a hard thump sound followed by the sound of Kankuro going off on Kiba. "Naruto just fucking tried to kill himself. You really need to fucking get your act together, if it wasn't for Naruto turning back we would all be on lock down waiting to be processed." Kankuro screamed at Kiba before leaving him laying in the hallway.
Kiba could only look up. Did Naruto really just do that or did Kankuro use it as a method of getting a guilt trip. "Oh fuck him." Kiba growled out before he got hit again. This time he turned around and expected to find Kankuro, but he looked up into Asuma's face. "You really have some issues to work out you know. For now your pod is on lock down and Naruto's dream could come true. Did you ever think that's why he did that, to protect the one he loves?" Asuma said before it all hit him. He felt the tears beginning to come to his eyes. "I didn't." was all Kiba said.
Kiba sat up all night and waited for Naruto to get back. When Kotetsu walked into the pod he looked away. "Naruto Uzumaki was discharged but is asking for a pod transfer. Here are his papers, just sign on page three if you accept and return to the desk." was all he said before walking back out of the pod. "Congratulations Kiba! He's gone now." Kabuto said in a sarcastic tone. "I didn't want him to leave." Kiba said in his defense. "Well, I think you telling him you were done with him really hit him hard considering he's asking for a transfer to not only a different pod but also a different division even." Kankuro said after looking over the papers. "If I were you, I would recommend he gets discharged rather then transferred." Kankuro said before walking into the office area. "Where is he at?" Kiba asked. "Why do you care." was Kankuros cold reply. Without warning Kiba ran up to Kankuro and decked him hard enough to make him stagger back. "Because I have some things I need to say." Kiba said. "He's probably at the administrative pod." Kabuto said. "Fine." Kiba said before turning around and walking out the door.
When Kiba got to the administrative pod, he was met with Asuma glaring at him. "You really have some balls, don't you. Not only did he say he wanted a transfer he's considering revoking the domestic partnership application he's been working on. He already knows about yours and doesn't want it to be enforced." Asuma said. Kiba looked down at the floor before letting the first tear slide he ever let in public. "I just wanted to tell him that if he really wants to stay here I'd accept being discharged. Nothing more nothing less." Kiba said before turning back to the elevator. "Where are you going?" Asuma as in a stern but worried tone. "I really don't know." was all Kiba replied. "You can't leave the building, your pod is on lock down. Hell, you aren't even supposed to be in the hallway for that fact." Asuma said in a stern tone that made Kiba turn around and walk up to him. Staring Asuma in the face, Kiba said what could have easily been his last words. "Then process me already. I'm already dead on the inside why not make the outside match." Kiba said.
Naruto was listening in on all this and began to cry. He didn't even get a chance to explain the situation and Kiba was really willing to let himself be killed so he could live on. This one thing made him begin to cry even harder. "You okay?" asked Ebisu, the floor secretary. "No, not at all. I just want him to stop." Naruto said. Ebisu only nodded his head before keying his radio. "We need an escort back to their pod, it's Kiba." was all he said. Naruto looked at him with a scared look. "Fatal force not authorized." Ebisu said. Naruto looked up at him and smiled slightly. "I just hope he sees what he's done soon." Naruto said. "I'm sure he will." Ebisu said before turning and walking out of the room.
When Kiba got back to the pod he saw Kabuto walking out with the transfer papers fully signed. "Why?" Kiba asked with a tear in his eye. "Because, Naruto doesn't want you to think you have to die for him to live. He's being discharged tomorrow." Kabuto said before walking out the door.
When he reached the administrative pod, Asuma looked up at him and smiled. "So it's all set in the pod?" he asked. "Yes, we've already cleared all of Narutos things into the office and cleaned the room. Lets hope this changes his attitude a little." Kabuto said as Naruto walked into the room. "Thanks for your help with this, I really hate it when he doesn't think things through." Naruto said. "Don't worry, I'm sure after this he will make a full turn around." Itachi said from outside in the hallway.
