"Talking"

'Thinking'


Three months later

Rei's PoV

The contents of Rei's stomach took one last swirl around before reintroducing itself to the world.
This meant that for the third time this morning Rei was next to a tree heaving and coughing. Sasuke, Naruto,
and Orochimaru had gone ahead of her to Konohoa. She'd told them that she'd forgotten something and had
to go back to get it. No one questioned it; the plans to invade Konohoa overpowered everything.

She sighed and fought to suppress tears. This could not be happening. She knew they'd gotten crazy
at the beach house but when the medical Nin told her she was pregnant, she killed her.

It was drastic but she could not have anyone finding out about this. Rei was making up a plan as she
went along but if she had a baby she could not let it be raised by Orochimaru. It deserved better, than the life
the three of them suffered. She could take it back to Otaku and leave it with one of her sisters. Anything but with him.

So for three months she'd kept this from her lovers. Although he did not voice it, Naruto was having an internal
battle with his decision to help invade Konohoa. Sasuke was overwhelmed with preparations for the invasion, and still
learning the millions of jutsu that Orochimaru knew.

Rei could not tell them. Not yet anyway. Not until after this Konohoa mess was over.

Rei wiped her forehead and drank some water.

"If I were an enemy I could have killed you Hiryuu Rei." A voice behind her said startling her.

"Okaa-sama you frightened me, I thought you went ahead with Tousan."

"I was worried about you."

"It's nothing I think it was just some bad shellfish." Rei lied

Kabuto raised an eyebrow, "You know I am highly skilled in the medical department. I've been watching you. I know."

Rei kept a straight face and tried to play stupid, "You know what?"

"Rei....." Kabuto warned.

Rei hung her head, "if you ever cared about us, and I mean really cared beyond all the things you've made us do. Beyond the plans
that Orochimaru has for us, than you will never tell him. Please I’ll do anything."

Kabuto leaned against a tree opposite her. "I care about you three. Despite the past and the future I really care."

Rei was not relieved he said he cared but he didn’t say the most important thing.

"I won’t tell him. If he finds out I’ll pretend I never knew. Did you tell Sasuke and Naruto?"

Rei shook her head, "I don’t know what I’m going to do. I don’t know how I’ll hide it when it starts to show."

Kabuto thought a moment, "After this thing with Konohoa is over I will send you away. Far away."

Rei's heart ached at the thought of being away from Sasuke and Naruto for so long.

"Thanks." She answered, what choice did she have?

Naruto's PoV

Every step was pain, every movement, every memory. Naruto sat atop the Third's head that was forever carved into the mountain. Even this place
had memories. For so long he'd locked all these memories away that their sudden debut was paralyzing.

Yet he didn't sit on Hokage Mountain to hide, he was waiting for the signal. Then he would be in motion doing what his Tousan asked him to do.

"Did I miss anything?" Rei asked a bit winded, walking up behind him.

He shook his head as Sasuke appeared next to them.

"Are you ready? It's almost time." He sighed asking Naruto more than Rei.

Naruto smiled weakly, “I’ll be ok."

Sasuke leaned in close to him, “Just let Kyuubi take control."

Naruto nodded, it was what he'd planned to do. The Fox Demon would roll his eyes and call him weak, but he would appreciate the chance to wreak havoc.
They have an understanding knowing they had to coexist.

Peaceful Konohoa should have known something was coming. It had been years since their disappearance and an Orochimaru sighting in the leaf village, perhaps they'd
relaxed in this time.

Naruto felt a little queasy.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, four explosions sounded in the distance. Sasuke sounded really far away when he stated that was the signal.

'I need your help’ Naruto stood in front of Kyuubi.

'I heard' the fox demon boomed laughing at his weakness.

'I'll lend you my strength, and to be generous I’ll even lend you my anger. But, I will not do this for you'

Naruto's mouth dropped open, ' What?'

Kyuubi rolled his eyes in annoyance, ' I will not aid in y our weakness, and we are supposed to be strong. You sicken me right now
thinking you can run away and I'd do all the work. Did you forget this is the place that made us this way?'

Naruto sat a moment; he'd spent so much time feeling guilty he's forgotten these people want to make him a weapon. His childhood was taken away
and replaced with harsh whispers and stares of hatred. On top of it all he didn't know why. The careless, malicious words of a selfish shinobi revealed his true
nature. No one even thought to tell him why he was hated. No one sought to understand him.

Naruto balled his fists, Kyuubi spoke, 'Use this anger boy and go back. It has begun.'

Naruto's eyes snapped open, Rei'd been shaking him.

His usually purple eyes were now and angry shade of crimson.

"Naruto?" she asked unsure.

"Yeah," he grinned a feral grin, “It’s me."

"Let's go those explosions blocked the villages’ evacuation routes. The other ninja will be coming."

Orochimaru's PoV

Orochimaru sat at Tsunade's desk waiting for her to arrive. She would come here for something, or rather someone after those explosions riveted through
the leaf village.

He looked around at the office of the Hokage. He was sure it'd been a very nice room, but now it lay in shambles from the skirmish Kabuto had with Shizune.

"Shizune?" Tsunade's voice came from the doorway just as he'd predicted.

She opened the door slowly, "Shizune?"

"I don’t think she'll be helping out this time." Orochimaru smiled.

Tsunade scowled, "Where is she?"

Orochimaru nodded to the crumpled body lying on the ground in front of her.

Tsunade leaned down and checked the body, to see if she could heal her longtime friend. Orochimaru could tell she was trying to be indifferent, but the emotion
was in her eyes.

Orochimaru knew the body was cold, and her spirit had been gone for about an hour now.

He could not stop smiling; he knew that Tsunade's anger would cloud her judgment. That would be his moment to strike. He had something very special planned
for his childhood friend.

To his surprise she did not scream or start to punch her way through the tables to get to him. She stood and sighed, "What do you want Orochimaru? That you do not already have or have not already taken from Konohoa?"

He stood and glanced out the window, "You know the third caught me doing my human experiments once? Instead of taking me in like he should have. He let me go.
This was not long after I was overlooked for Hokage. It was then I realized that Konohoa produced amazing ninja. The problem is they never reach their full potential.
I used to want to take over and turn Konohoa into a world power. With me at the lead it could rule over the other hidden villages and cities like it should. But now, now I’m just going
to destroy it."

Tsunade growled, "How will you do that?"

Orochimaru laughed lightly, "I won't, but you will, they will, the people, the elders. Konohoa will fall of its own accord."

"How?"

"I will destroy the school, food supplies, market place, and all other important places to Konohoa. Then there will be chaos. They will turn to you, but you will fail them, and
soon they will just fight amongst themselves. Before long every hidden village will know of Konohoa's short comings. then how long do you think it will take before they invade?
Before the leaf village is part of the sand, or mist, or some other village? Maybe then they will even accept me as their ruler. Thanking me for bringing in the sound village's jounin to
protect them. They will bow to my feet for bringing order and rebirth to the broken village and saving them from despair."

Tsunade punched a desk then, "Konohoa will never accept you. You were not good enough then, you will never be good enough to rule this place. To your very core Orochimaru
you are evil."

She lunged at him so quickly he almost didn't get a chance to dodge her.

He was smiling still, "It was hypothetical Tsunade. I don’t care if I rule here. I only care that your empire falls and everyone thinks it's all your fault. In fact I want them to curse all
the hokage's. The fourth for sealing the Kyuubi, the third for letting me go, and you for losing your weapon and then letting it attack the village again."

Tsunade froze a second, "Naruto is here?"

"My son is here doing my bidding as is Rei and Sasuke. Right now they are destroying things all over the village. They will kill their friends, murder innocents; all I have to do is ask."

"They would never do that EVER!" she yelled.

"No, they wouldn't have in the past. But now, they have almost reached their full potential all because of me. They can have the things Konohoa would never have given them. Their
Tousan loved them enough to teach them properly. In return they will do anything I ask."

"No" Tsunade whispered, "Now what have you done."

Orochimaru was still smirking a response when Tsunade punched him with all of her strength. The impact broke most of the bones in his face and his neck. He was dead
before he hit the ground.
