The Sister Of Minato Namikaze - Book 1 Chapter 30 - The Masked Man, a naruto fanfic

(Kakashi's Point Of View)

I am walking around town with Gai and my crush, Ruby. I was not paying attention to what Gai was saying which was mostly about the power of youth and what not. I look over to see Ruby with a smile on her face. Oh man, she was beautiful. I could remember when I confessed to her a few weeks ago and the night Ruby found out Rin was killed in action.

I sighed in exasperation of something I could fix here and there. But, then again, she was the Rose of Konoha. The Kunoichi who can run at the speed of sound in an instant and has the strength to hold up her Scythe up above her head. I can barely pick it up, and how I know is because I tried to carry it for her once. I again sighed...she is way out of my league. Besides, I was the heart breaker, the guy who broke tons of girls hearts since I didn't like them.

Even since the Academy I started to develop feelings for Ruby. Seeing the way she is kind-hearted to all of those around her then is fierce when in battle. I remember our first fight in the Academy where she actually beat me. She was the only one in the who school to beat me in a spar. That is only one thing out of hundreds that i love about her.

Ruby looked over to Gai and I if she could sing a song because she was so happy. I nodded while Gai gave her a thumbs up and says to do it with the power of youth. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth and started to sing.

"It might seem crazy what I am about to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care, baby, by the way"

I closed my eyes and listened to the beautiful sound that is her voice. I don't think there is another voice in the world that could match up to hers. Well...she is a Huntress so of course she has a beautiful voice.

"(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Here come bad news, talking this and that (Yeah!)
Well, give me all you got, don't hold it back (Yeah!)
Well, I should probably warn ya, I'll be just fine (Yeah!)
No offense to you, don't waste your time
Here's why...

(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do"

She started to clap to the music that is playing in her ears that we could not hear. I don't need to hear the music anyway because all I need to hear is the words that beautifully come out of her mouth. I look at her and I see her having a smile that warms up my heart. That smile will always make me happy and make me smile when I am next to her.

"(Happy)
Bring me down… can't nothing…
(Happy)
Bring me down… my love is too high…
(Happy)
Bring me down… can't nothing…
(Happy)
Bring me down, I said

(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down…can't nothing…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down… my love is too high…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down… can't nothing…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down, I said

(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down… can't nothing…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down… my love is too high…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down… can't nothing…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down, I said

[x2]

Come on!"

Ah...the sweet, melodic sound of her voice makes me forget where I was walking and the youth sounds coming out of Gai's mouth. Just one note...one pitch...one word of her lyrics move me to tears...Almost...since the son of the White Fang rarely cries.

It sounded like she was going to sing some more, but she suddenly stopped and looked up into the sky then in front of her. Gai asked her what was wrong then she shook her head in, what it looks like, disbelieve. She then turned around and started walking away slowly away from us. "I have to go back to the house and grab something, be right back!" And with that, she ran away from us in a trail of red pedals.

I hope that she is alright...I have never seen her so nervous in my life. She is the type of person who is calm and collected, like her brother. I started walking again with Gai who started shouting off types of youth challenges that we should do.

I kinda tuned him out for a few minutes then I sigh because he just would not shut up. "Why don't we do just Rock - Paper - Scissors again." Gai shook his head, "Now come on, there must be somthing more exciting we can do...and you call yourself my rival." I wearly look at him, "We have to get an early start tomorrow so lets just take a pass on tonight."

"A mission is not excuse! I have all this pent-up energy resigning inside of me, so there is no better time then right now for some really rigourous training..." I stopped listening to him when a certain chill in the air filled the air which made me stop. Gai keeps talking until he turns around and shouts at me, saying i'm not paying attention. "Forget that for now...do you sense something strange as if there was suddenly a dark chill in the air."

"The only thing that is chilly is your attitude! You must be more hot blooded!" Gai shouted as I look towards the way that Ruby's house is in. "We should probably wait here for Ruby." I said to Gai and he suddenly stops his rant and looks strangely at me. "Ruby...my youthful princess is not back yet!" He said with tears falling from his eyes.

I rolled my eyes then looked at the moon above us. I quietly asked for Ruby to hurry and come back. Before anything else could happen a huge white cloud of smoke filled the air which reminded me of a summoning cloud. I heard growling and I saw exactly nine tails waving in the sky. "ITS THE NINE TAILS!" Someone shouted as it roared into the sky.

Civilians ran away from the terrifying beast who claws swipped at the homes and buildings of the village. Gai went up into a crane pose, "Damn you Nine Tails! Its time to release all of my pent-up energy!" I narrowed my eyes at him. "We don't know what were up against!" He ignored me and shouted, "Come' on! I will be your opponent!"

"Wait! Gather Immediately in the Gaurd room!" A Jounin ninja said as I asked him why. "The Third Hokage ordered it!" Gai lowers his crane pose, "What, Lord Hiruzen did?" I told Gai to hurry up and we both ran to the Guard room. I started thinking of Ruby so I stopped and started to search for her chakra. My friend also stopped and asked me what I was doing.

Once I found faint Chakra, I opened my eyes. "I need to go find Ruby, you go on ahead!" I said as I ran off into her direction.

(Ruby's Point Of View)

I just went to my closet and quickly put on my red cloak and let it flow around me while also putting the hood on. "I'll be right back." And right before I left I heard a small wait. I turned around to see Kushina looking at me and asked me to come over. I did and she told me to hold Naruto for a minute. I gulped and slowly picked him up and he just kept sleeping.

I gave him a small smile then started to laugh. He was perfect. He had ten little toes and ten little fingers, and his hands were so small and it was smaller then my pinky finger. His head has small tuff of yellow hair that match my brothers and my own. He was perfect. I laid him back down and kissed his cheek. I see Kushina looking worridly at her husband.

"When will he wake up..." I looked at my brother who was unconscious for me knocking him out. "I put 'arua' into my hand right before I knocked him out so he will be out for a while, sorry." She nodded and laid back down and snuggled next to her new born baby. My eyes soften as I whispered, "I will be back, promise." With that, I ran at my fastest speed to get to the village.

I landed on my brothers head on the Hokage mountain and my cloak flows behind me as I land. I look up to see the Nine Tails destroying the Village. "As a kunoichi, I must protect the village, my family. This is what I have to do right now." I glared at the Nine Tails, "I wont let you destroy my home." It looked over at me then faced me fully . "So you noticed me, huh."

It opened his mouth and air was being sucked in as a purple shaped orb was taking place. I did hands seals for a Jutsu and said, "I wont let you do this." It shot straight at me as I shouted, "Rose Vortex Jutsu!" Then the powerful purple ball stopped as Roses swirled around it, encasing it, and swallowed it whole. Then an explosion happened miles away from the Village, so no one got hurt.

"The Rose Vortex Jutsu swallows up the Jutsu then teleport it somewhere else. Seeing that explosion, with that much power, I've got to carefully choose where I redirect his attacks. Down in the village the Ino-Shika-Cho formation looked up to where I was standing. 'The Jutsu that deflected the Nine Tails attack. That's a transportion barrier!" Choza said as Shigaku looked up at where I was standing. "Rose pedals...its Ruby! But wheres Minato?"

Back to where I was standing I was thinking of how I should alert Lord Hiruzen about what is going on. I felt someone's chakra behind me, someone I did not reconize. I pulled out a kunai and went to slash the unknown person in the head. When I looked I see that it went right through him until it got to his hand for which he grabbed it. I see he has a tiger like mask...so this is the guy who is behind this.

"I'm your opponent! And your done for." Air started flowing through the man's eye hole and started to suck me in. At the last second, I used all of my power to run as fast as I can to get away from him. I land a place where a blown up safe house was at, but that was the least of my problems.

"My attack went right through him, but a moment later he turned solid and tried to pull me inside him...what was that Jutsu." He suddenly appeared in front of me in a vortex kind of way. "You shall not escape." He said as he chuckled. I observed him to see that he is wearing a black cloak that surrounds his whole body, not just his back like mine does.

'He uses a transportion technique too? That's how he was able to grab Kushina-nee and move so quickly. He defeated the Anbu Black Ops assigned to Lord Third, got passed the highest level class of a light barrier, and knew the Nine Tails seal weakens due to child birth. Even more then that, he undid the Nine Tails seal and tamed him. He slipped out of the Villages barriers without triggering any alarms. As far as I know, there's only one shinobi who can do all that.' I thought to myself as an image of a man in long black hair came into my mind.

"Are you Madara Uchiha?" He took of his hood to see short black hair instead of long black hair. "No, that would be impossible, he is dead after all." The masked man hummed to himself, "I wonder about that." I narrowed my eyes, "In the end, it doesn't matter who you are, but why attack the hidden leaf?" He looked up a little, "What would you like to hear? I could say I did it on a whim or that I planned it or that's its for war or that's its for peace."

He dropped a chain where both ends were connected to his wrists. 'Either way, he's not ordinary. He can control the Nine Tails.' I thought to myself as I got into a stance while holding a kunai in front of me in attack mode.

'His transportion technique surpasses Lord Seconds and Minato-nii's, and he's got some dangerous radiology. If I don't settle this now, we'll have even bigger problems then the Nine Tails. If I quickly run to the village, he will come to the battle field with me...it will be chaos. If he's anything like Madara, he can't keep the Nine Tails under the summoning Jutsu for too long. I have to entrust the Village to Lord Third, and just take down this guy, right here, right now.' I thought as I stared at the masked man.

"Now that I have freed the Nine Tails, there is no hope for any of you!" With that we lunged at each other with the intent to kill. The chain flowed behind him as I thrusted the kunai in front of me with the intention to stab him. I went right through him and into his chains that kept in locked. I used my speed to hurry and run through the chain and land a few feet away.

'My physical attacks has to effect on him, but he makes himself solid so he attacks me. I have to aim for mutual strength, precisely timed. But he knows he is vunerable when he attacks, and considering the time remaining on the Nine Tails Summoning Justu, he wont want to likely battle either.' I flexed my right hand and brought my left hand to my head phones to turn it on, then turn it to the song "Breakdown" then grabbed my kunai.

'If he ever attacks and most importantly then the other, I will win this match.' I ran at him as he ran at me. I through the kunai so it goes through it head and goes out the end of it. He brought his hand up to grab me as I made a Rasengan in my right hand. Right as the music got to the middle of the song, I used its 'aura' to teleport me to where the kunai was, right before he grabbed my shoulder.

I thrusted down my right hand and it hit directly into his back. "Rasengan!" I shouted as the ground breaks from all the power I thrusted into that Jutsu. Dust clouds surround the field as we both jump up to different rocks. I see his arm ozzing out of his sleeve for which I thought was disgusting, but that was not my main focus. "You got me, you really are a slippery one, but I never should have let me guard down around you."

I used the rest of the speed I had left to race up to him and stab him with a kunai. His eyes widen in realization at what that meant. "The Nine Tails is no longer yours." I say as I hear a roar in the distance. He jumps onto a tree branch as he says I am worthy to be the Fourth Hokage's sister. "Injuring me and separating me the Nine Tails from me, but he will be mine one day. I shall rule this world, there are plenty of ways to do it." He sucked himself away from me, but I did not care.

"Given his tone, he's not joking around." I say as I fall to one knee. I all the sudden felt scared of what I have to do next. I have to face the Nine Tails. "Ruby! Ruby, where are you!" I hear someone shout for me for which I turn around to see Kakashi with his eyes opened wide as he saw the damage. He say me and gasped then quickly ran over to me.

"Are you alright! Are you hurt!" I shook my head and told him that I am just tired and he sighed in relief. He held out his hand for me to grab for which I accepted and stood up. Once I stood I fell into his arms and he caught me. I was embarrassed, but in all honesty, I felt safe in his arms. I wanted to stay here forever if I could. We stayed there for a few minutes while the wind softly blew behind us and the leafs fell from the trees around us.

I looked up at his face to see him looking down at me with soft eyes and a soft smile. I smile as soft music started to play into my headphones and my eyes widen. "The music...its beautiful..." He closed his eyes and asked if he could hear it. I turned the speakers and he heard the soft music playing which was called "Oracion" and he started to hum to it. "Its the kind of music u can dance too." I whispered as Kakashi nodded and made me stand up.

He grabbed my right hand and put his right hand on my hip. "Then lets dance..." My eyes widened then they softened and I nodded. We started to sway back and forth in a slow motion and we walked in a box formation. I put my head into his chest and softly smiled to myself as I heard his heart beat.

The music changed to a song that I loved to sing, all the time. I started to hum to it and then I started to sing to it because it made me feel happy.

{Ruby}

"All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here suddenly I see
Standing here it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you"

There was a pause and I was going to sing again but Kakashi started to hum to the music and he started to sing which made this song into a duet.

{Kakashi}

All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go

{Ruby & Kakashi

And at last I see the light

{Kakashi}

And it's like the fog has lifted

{Ruby & Kakashi}
And at last I see the light

{Ruby}

And it's like the sky is new

{Ruby & Kakashi}

And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything is different
Now that I see you

I brought my hand up to his cheek and put my fingers to the edge of his mask and pulled down. His face was beautiful from what I could see. I traced my hand along his strong jaw and rubbed my thumb over his lips.

Now that I see you"

He put his hands on both of my cheeks and brought me closes to his face. A second later, our lips touch and we kissed softly at first but then became more firm. I brought my arms above his shoulders and ringed the back of his neck. He brought his hands and put then onto my hips and brought me closer.

After what felt like hours, we pulled apart and he put my forehead onto mine and we caught our breath after we kissed for awhile. "I love you too..." I whispered and his eyes widened then softened. He brought his lips back onto mine and we had another session of us having our first kiss ever.

We pulled apart and Kakashi put his hand on my right cheek. "I am not letting you go, Ruby. Your coming with me." I shook my head and told him that I have to go. He grabbed my shoulders and and shook his head. "No! I cant lose you! I cant lose another one close to me!" I brought me head up and kissed him again and when he wasn't looking, I brought me hand up and hit the back of his neck, knocking him out.

I catched him before he touched the ground then I laid him down. I kissed his forehead and caressed his cheek then started to walk away. Before I got to far I turned back and look at him with a soft smile.

"I love you, Kakashi. I always will."
