Death Brings New Life

-New Life-

 

Kakashi ran through the forest at a quickening pace. His feet pushed by the chakra he released. The tree limbs cracked.

 

`Am I too late?'

 

Kakashi released more chakra as his worries grew. His eyes widened when he reached his destination.

 

In the middle of the clearing lay Naruto.

 

Kakashi rushed to his side in a second. His eyes widened even more when he saw a familiar hole imbedded in his chest. No question caused by a `chidori'. His quivering hand reached the blonde to check his heartbeat. Kakashi winced when none was present.

 

Not a single heartbeat.

 

It was all his fault.

 

He was the one who taught Sasuke `chidori'. It was he who didn't sense Sasuke's eventual betrayel. It was he who wasn't there for his team; abandoning them for the precious Uchiha who betrayed them nonetheless.

 

The rain began to shower him and his student. Covering the tears that fell from Kakashi's eyes that day. The sadness enveloped him as the rains intensity grew.

 

 

“I'm so sorry, Naruto”

Naruto awoke at the place he fought Sasuke. He felt for the hole in his chest instantly, but found that the hole didn't exist. He looked up. It was then that he noticed that the sky wasn't right. The sky was gray, swirling with different shades of the single color.

 

`Where the hell am I?'

 

The blonde turned around to see a white door, with what looked to be a half-human-half-demon standing in front of it. The fear froze him instantly. Whatever stood in front of him scared him more then anything he had faced so far. It had white hair and a sword that lay horizontally in it's mouth. It was somewhat transparent and had marking along its arms. The marking looked somewhat like Sasuke's own cursed marking. It looked directly into Naruto's blue eyes. Naruto tensed and began to sweat. whatever it was, it was scaring him good. It then took the sword out of it's mouth, continuing its cold stare.

 

“I am a shinigami; I have come to deliver your death.” Naruto shivered at the cold words; falling back with empty eyes.

 

“So, the one I thought of as a brother killed me.” Naruto's voice held no emotion, but inside he felt nothing but sadness. Suddenly his seal glowed on his stomach. Naruto noticed this and lifted his shirt. The Kyuubi came out and stood beside Naruto. The Kyuubi growled at the boy, glaring at him with intense eyes as big as Naruto.

 

“You brat! You got me killed! Dammit!” He growled. The bijuu turned his gaze toward the god of death. “Let's make a deal.”

 

“What makes you think I'll deal?” The Death God questioned the demon. The Kyuubi gave a menacing grin. He glanced at Naruto then looked at the shinigami in the eye.

 

“Because my deal involves that scum Orochimaru.” The Death God looked at the bijuu intently.

 

“What are you proposing?” the shinigami asked.

 

“I know you hate that bastard Orochimaru for cheating death with that jutsu of his.” Shinigami continued staring at the demon and its human container. “So what if we killed him in exchange for a second chance at life.” Kyuubi continued. The Death God stared at the demon fox, obviously considering the deal. Naruto was silent, observing both of the greater beings.

 

“You strike a good bargain demon.” The shinigami brought his gaze upon the blonde human. Naruto held his ground, wondering if he'd get life or death. “It's seems you get to live longer child.” Naruto almost jumped at getting another chance to live. “But heed my words,” Naruto listened carefully to the words that came out of the shinigami's mouth. “If you die again there will be no third chance at life and also, you must kill Orochimaru yourself or you will die.” The Death God turned its gaze back to Kyuubi. “It seems you get to live longer with this human,” Shinigami moved away from the large white door behind him, and turned his gaze back upon the human. “Now, this door leads back to the world of the living; I suggest you get going.” With that said, the god of death vanished, leaving a smirking demon fox and a startled Naruto.

 

“Lets go brat.” Kyuubi remarked then disappeared back into Naruto's seal. Naruto faced the white door in front of him. He slowly walked up to it, turning the golden knob. He opened it to see white mist and hesitantly walked inside.

Naruto awoke to the familiar sight of Konoha's hospital ceiling. He felt weak, but strong enough to run. He continued to lie on the white-sheeted bed. He then heard crying outside his door.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000

 

“I tried t-to s-s-save him b-but h-he truly is d-d-d-d….” Tsunade couldn't get the words out for she was sobbing between each word. “I used e-e-every s-s-single medical jutsu I know.” She stuttered. She continued to wail only having Kakashi to lean against, her tears drenching his jonin vest. Kakashi had a look of sadness and guilt.

 

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000

 

 

Naruto's heart clenched at hearing the Hokage's words.

 

`I have to tell her I'm alright.' Naruto thought. He began to get out of bed when Kyuubi's voice reached him.

 

`Listen boy, I'm afraid I can't let you do that.' Naruto stopped what he was doing instantly.

 

`How come I can hear furball?' Naruto wondered.

 

`Listen brat, the seal was weakened when you died. I'm not sure about the details, but we are able to communicate mentally. Right now, we need to leave this village.' Kyuubi explained. Naruto had a puzzled expression as he sat on his bed.

 

`Why?' The blonde questioned angrily.

 

`We need to leave so that I, myself can train you.'

 

`How come we can't do that here?'

 

`Do you want Konoha involved?'

 

`No of course not!'

 

`Well then get dressed and leave.' Naruto complied and got dressed into the torn up orange clothing that he possessed. Kyuubi made a mental note to burn that as soon as he got him new clothes. Naruto opened the hospital window to see that he was on the second floor. He leapt from the window and used chakra to ease the landing. He landed gracefully then looked at his surrounding. To his luck, his room was at the back of the hospital. He retreated to the Konoha gates careful as to not be seen. He reached the gate, to see it guarded by chunin.

 

`How do I get past this without being spotted?' He asked Kyuubi.

 

`Use Kage Bunshin to create two clones. The first will use a henge to become any type of Sound nin. The second will be your body, in order for them to believe that someone took your body. Not just like the body walked away on its own, so that we can give the impression you're still dead. This will create a diversion while you sneak across.'

 

`That makes sense.' Naruto agreed.

 

`Of course it does! I'm not you.' Kyuubi snorted. Naruto sent him a mental glare to scare him, but to no avail. He was near the wall when he hid behind a tree and made a hand sign.

 

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu

 

Naruto looked at the two solid clones he formed. One clone then formed a hand sign.

 

Henge no Jutsu

 

The clone took on the appearance of Kabuto and smirked. The Kabuto shadow clone grabbed the Naruto clone. The Naruto clone fell limp to give the impression that he was dead. Naruto smiled at his work while he moved to farther along the gate. He signaled the Kabuto clone to go across. The Kabuto clone dashed at the gate holding the limp Naruto clone. This act caught the attention of the guards immediately.

 

“It's the Sound! Alert the Hokage at once!” A chunin commanded one of the others. One leapt towards the Hokage tower leaving three chunin. While their attention was focused on the shadow clones, Naruto crossed the gate unnoticed. The three chunin prepared to fight, drawing their kunai. Once Naruto was across the border safely, he dispelled his jutsu. When the chunin were about to kill Kabuto, he puffed into smoke along with the Naruto clone. The chunin gaped at first, and then realized that Kabuto made a diversion with using clones while he escaped.

 

`That was too easy.' Naruto thought as he escaped out of Konohagakure's reach.
