Chapter 3
( Konoha at the moment)
Now in the Hokage office Minato along with his wife Jiraiya, Tsunade, Hitomi, Hinata and Hiruzen even Mikoto came.
Shizune was currently at the konoha hospital managing it for Tsunade.
"Everybody calm down! How did this happen!" Minato says wondering what possessed Naruto to just get up and leave?
Hiruzen just glared at Minato, Hitomi had told him what happened and gave him the letter.
"How did this Happen? For someone who's a leader of the village and very smart. You don't even know you're own son." Hitomi hissed with Kushina flinching at her tone even Minato winced.
"Hitomi-Chan please-" Kushina said trying to reason with her best friend
"Quiet Uzumaki-san. Because of you and Minato Naruto-kun is gone with some stranger!" Hissed Hitomi
"Wait a minute, what do you mean gone? Why would Naruto leave on his birthday?" Asked Mikoto Uchiha
"Hinata-Chan can you tell us who took Naruto? Surely you saw him going with someone after you told me." Hitomi asked her daughter as everyone focused on her.
She looked angry glaring at Those responsible for hurting Naruto-kun.
"Who I saw with him was a big woman." Hinata answered with everyone looking confused
"Big woman? How big?" Jiraiya asked
"I can't tell, she was very tall and big, she wore a white dress, sandals and a Straw hat on her head, she had pale skin and long black hair." Hinata said describing Hachishaku-sama with the adults in the room absorbing description Hinata had mentioned
"That's odd we don't have that many tall women in Konoha..." Pondered Tsunade
"But what could this tall woman want with Naruto? How could she take-" Mikoto spoke with Hinata cutting her off
"She didn't take him... he went with her willingly, I saw what I saw." Said Hinata as she probably knew why he went willingly.
"I don't understand?" Mikoto asked with Hitomi giving her a look.
"Why don't you ask Uzumaki-San and Namikaze-San. They are mostly the blame for this." Hitomi said with Mikoto looking at the two who did not meet her look.
"Kushina what is Hitomi talking about?" Asked Mikoto with Kushina not looking her way.
"We... focused more on Menma and Naruko... because they both held the Kyuubi within them. I wanted to train him but Minato-kun says we should focus on both of them..." Kushina answered with Mikoto looking appalled
"So basically you- you neglected him!? Leaving him out!? How could you!?" Screamed Mikoto looking outraged
"Please Listen Mikoto-Chan! It wasn't like that- I" Kushina would try to see only for Mikoto to blaze her Sharingan to life glaring at her best friend.
"Now Now let's not get hasty-" Jiraiya said only to flinch from both Mikoto and Hitomi's look. Hiruzen joined in glaring.
"Shut it you fucking hermit! Your Naruto's godfather! How could you neglect him! You and Tsunade both are just as guilty as they are! And because of your stupidity, he's gone with some woman we have never seen before!" Mikoto ranted.
"Wait a minute now! It's not my fault that the little brat ran away with a stranger!" Jiraiya defended himself
"It's pretty much all of your faults that he ran with this stranger and now we may never know where he is. If anything, he just may be much better with this stranger." Hiruzen said with Minato glaring
"Hold on there Sarutobi that's my son you are talking about!" Minato says with anger on your face
"Son? I'm sorry but did you just say, son? I thought Menma was your son, you, Kushina, Tsunade, and Jiraiya are all to blame for this, neglecting your firstborn over some prophecy by focusing all your attention on Menma and Naruko. You better pray to kami that Naruto doesn't become scorned and seeks vengeance upon all of you." Hiruzen shot back as he left leaving Minato and the rest stunned from his words.
"Come Hinata-chan we are going home." Hitomi said not wanting to look at her friend anymore as both of them left.
Mikoto decided to leave
"Mikoto-chan wait! Please let me explain!" kushina said with a pleading look.
The Uchiha woman turned and scowled at her former best friend
"I don't know who you are anymore." Mikoto says as she left leaving Kushina to tears.
"We need to find out who that woman was that took Naruto... and get him back." Minato says
"But how? How can we find him?!" kushina said with tears in her eyes.
"I don't know honestly... I'll have the tracker team investigate on this maybe and see can Tsume's Dogs get the scent of this stranger." Minato says.
( with Naruto and Hachishaku)
She carried the Boy in piggyback as they traveled far into the west.
The two would venture through the western lands and plains, she would look for a perfect place for them to call home. And knew the perfect one where No man or person has ever set foot in.
And the place she was going too, was Inunaki Village, a Cursed Village that no one would ever set foot in and would never come back alive.
You must take a small side road past Old Inunaki Tunnel to find the village. It's small and easy to miss, so most people don't ever find it.
She spotted the tunnel that appears to be sealed up, which looks like the work of those damn monks who sealed it up. Looking annoyed
If you're brave enough to enter yourself, it's said the village is full of traps and the villagers themselves will attack you with hatchets and sickles. There's no phone service either, so you'll be completely on your own.
The village is said to have been isolated from the outside world since the Edo Period and because of that, the government treats them as a "special reservation." If you're foolish enough to go in there, you are entirely on your own, and no-one who has entered has ever escaped alive.
Hachishaku-sama felt no fear from this place. She was going to make this both hers and Naruto's home and village.
And because of her Yokai Aura and influence she can shift the village in her own way.
She gently laid Naruto down and unsheathed her sword and cut down the seals as the barrier was lifted. She picked him up and went inside the haunted tunnel.
It's said you'll hear howling and screaming in the woods of Inunaki Ridge. And Inunaki Village, the most fearsome of all.
The Haunted Tunnel had seemed to respect Hachishaku-sama along with who she brought, it's curse has no effect over her or Naruto for that matter because of her influence.
Having reached the end of the tunnel she gazed at the haunted village.
Vacant and in current ruins,
Corpses, it seems the villagers were driven insane and had killed each other.
No sign of life here in this village. Everything here looked barren, no grass no animals or even water.
Good, since she can control the dead, maybe she can manipulate the dead to rebuild this broken down village. But before she could do that she would find them a place to stay at.
She went into what looks like a House big enough for a family to live here in peace.
Walking inside she smiled, she found a bed for Naruto to rest on since he was still asleep.
Walking out the house. She smiled eviliy.
She would raise her slender arms and flare her Yokai chakra spreading it all over the village reviving the dead.
Corpses would moan after being revived as they all turned towards their Master who revived them.
"Rebuild and fix this village. I want it in good shape for my mate." She ordered and without question, they carried out her demand and started getting to work.
Now all she had to do was see how to make Naruto special since she promised him.
She will look for a way to make him special and then train him, plus drive him to hate his family to get his revenge upon them.
To be continued
