-----------------------------------------------Reunion: Back From The Dead------------------------------------
-----------------------------------Sakura‘s House------------------------------
“Sakura everything will be all right. Stay strong. What would Naruto think if he saw you bawling and feeling depressed over him. He would worry Sakura. If he’s watching over you now he would be stricken, he doesn’t want you to feel sadness, he never did.” Ino said soothingly as she tried to comfort Sakura.“B….but I..its s…s..so HARD!!!” Sobbed Sakura while clutching tightly at Ino. “W..we n..never even g..got the ..chance to love each other. We had so much to look forward to and now he’s…he’s..he’s GONE!!!”
“I know Sakura. I know.” Ino said and patted her friend on the back while holding her close. ‘I wonder when Sauske’s gonna be coming back. He said Kakashi wanted to meet him.’
“SAKURA!! INO!!!” Came a voice followed by loud thumps on Sakura’s door.
‘Ah speak of the devil that’s Sauske.’ “Coming Sauske!” Ino called as she detached herself from Sakura’s grasp and went to open the door. Standing in the down pouring rain, Sauske entered Sakura’s home and shook himself off. “Sakura, Ino. You guys are gonna want to sit down when I tell you this. I met with Kakashi and someone else tonight. Ino you knew I was meeting Kakashi, and Sakura you knew why I was meeting with him. Naruto issued us the task of debriefing him every night. I went to meet with Kakashi at Naruto’s Estate, because that was were Naruto said he would meet us. I thought Kakashi was insane. I mean he called me out to wait for a dead man. But I went anyways. I got into a shouting match with him. And he said something. He said “Sauske. Don’t be so quick to judge what is or is not real. You never know Naruto may have had one last trick up his sleeve.” I told him he was crazy and was getting ready to leave when, another figure hiding in shadow spoke out to me. He asked who was dead. Care to guess who that figure was???”
“Sauske Either tell us or stop wasting time.” Ino replied hotly while she went to again comfort Sakura who just continued to sob and clutch at herself.
“It was Naruto.” Sauske said in a quiet voice.
“WHAT!?!?!” Both Sauske and Ino jumped as they heard Sakura scream out the word. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WAS NARUTO!!!! SAUSKE THAT’S NOT FUNNY! YOU KNOW HES DEAD!!!”
“Calm down Sakura so that I can finish explaining.” Sauske replied as he watched Sakura jump to her feet.
“But Sakuras right Sauske, we all saw Narutos body being buried in the earth earlier today. You even spoke about his death. I think Kakashi got to you somehow.” Ino said shaking her head,
“Ino. It was Naruto. He’s ALIVE. He sent a shadow clone to the funeral today. He knew that there was going to be an attempt to assassinate himself. He was prepared for it. He and Kakashi came up with a plan the last night when Kakashi went to debrief Naruto of the days happenings. He forcefully held the shadow clone jutsu. Even after his clone had died he held the jutsu. He did it to protect Konoha. With Narutos assassination attempt complete the enemy will be cocky and overzealous. They wont be expecting Naruto to apear and fight. It’ll seem like he’ll be a ghost that’s come to haunt and torment them even after his death.” Sauske said in a rush. Then speaking louder he continued. “He planeed the whole thing.”
“YOU LIE!!!!” Sakura shrieked as she drew a kunai and flung it blindly towards Sauske.
Dodging to the left Sauske was able to avoid the hit but Sakura was already reaching for another.
“Sakura. Do you have the courage to see if I’m telling the truth. Naruto told me that you knew wher he would be. That you could take Ino and myself there to meet with him.” Sauske said astonished at the rage Sakura was feeling. She even had the nerve to toss a kunai at him.
“IT CAN”T BE TRUE! NARUTO WOULDN”T OD SOMETHING LIKE THAT! HE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME SO!!!!!!” Sakura screamed as she threw one kunai after another.
“SAKURA LISTEN!!!” bellowed Sauske.
Startled Sakura dropped he kunai she was about to throw and sank to her knees.
“Sakura. I asked Naruto the very same thing when I met him. He said that it was because it ad to appear real. He wanted real reactions from us. If they were faked the enemy would have seen through it and targeted you or me instead. They know we’re close to Naruto. He had to make them BELIEVE that he was truly dead. For that he NEEDED to have us show real emotion. That’s why he didn’t tell us. And if you question as to how I know it’s the real Naruto, he knew things that no clone of Kakashi’s could have known. Now will you please take us to where Naruto is waiting. Hw must be freezing out in this rain. He’ll catch his death if he….SORRY wrong wording. But lets go Sakura, you want to see him again don’t you???” Sauske asked ina voice that was on the verge of pleading.
“Of..c..c..course I do.” Sakura sniffed new tears flowing down her already puffy cheeks.
“So where is he hiding then Sauske??” Asked Ino the sceptics clearly showing in her voice.
“You’ll have to ask Sakura that one. He said that she would have to lead us to where he is.” Sauske replied looking at Sakura for confirmation.
“Sauske. Do you remember the day you found Naruto three years ago. You know after the incident with Orochimaru??” Sakura said as she wiped away the tears in her eyes.
“Yes. The cave up in the Konoha mountains.” Sauske replied.
“That’s where he is. He turned that cave into a chasm and its where he trains. The jutsus he’s learned are by far the most deadly things he could ever master. He needed a place where he could practice and train without hurting anyone.” Sakura explained as she staggered to her feet.
“Alright. Ino grab hold of my arm your going to side long body flicker with me. It will take a ton of effort on my part…but I will manage. Sakura you will have to get there on your own. I can do no more than two person body flicker without tearing a couple or ligaments.” Sauske said as he began to envision the little cave where he had first found Naruto.
“Ok.” Sakura replied shakily.
“Alright lets go see Naruto.” Sauske said.
And with that the Sakura, Sauske, and Ino all vanished.
Meanwhile------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
Naruto stood starring into the eyes of the demon fox the second he burst through the door into its holding room. “ WHY IN THE HELL DO YOU INSIST ON CAUSEING SO MUCH TROBLE YOU STUPID FOX!!!” Naruto shouted as he darted straight for the demon’s face. Swinging his glowing chakra covered hand into the Kyubi’s face Naruto punched the fox sealing off the first of the nine strikes he needed to seal its chakra away for good.
“What is this trick. You hit me with nothing more then your bare hand, and yet I can no longer seem to uses some of my chakra. WHAT IS THIS!!!!” The Kyubi bellowed as it lunged jaws snapping at Naruto trying to tear him limb from limb.
“That would be the Uzumaki sealing technique. My father built this technique along with the one he used to seal you inside me originally. This one however seals away part of YOUR chakra. All I have to do is keep hitting you and your chakra will seal itself off with every hit. How long can you dodge me when I’m able to move faster then my father was.”
Then disappearing Naruto stuck the fox two more times before one off its tails managed to swat him away and it growled in outrage. “BOY I have waited too long for you to interfere with my plans. I will devour you hole and then take my revenge on the village using your body as my vessel. I can not wait to be FREE!!!!”
“Well looks like your gonna have to keep waiting!!” Naruto shouted as he began forming hand signs. Then with a cry Naruto shouted.
“Sunlight!” and smashed his hand into his palm. A blinding white orb shot out of his hand and he tossed it towards the Kyubi.
“What is this!?!?!” the Kyubi bellowed as the light seared his eyes and blinded him. Naruto taking advantage of the Kyubi’s distraction jumped and landed three more hits on the Kyubi.
‘Just three more and I can seal you for good’ Naruto thought as he dodged the now furious Kyubi as it tried to bite him in two. Then out of no where one of the Kyubi’s clawed paws struck Naruto dead in the chest, sending him flying across the room to where he smashed into the wall. Naruto’s org of light disintegrated as he struck the wall., causing it to indent inwards from the impact.
“This Fight KIT is far from over. You Uzumaki’s try once again to seal me. I WILL NOT HAVER IT!!!”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------
“NARUTO!!” Sakura cried out but as she stepped forward to embrace him, Sauske held out an arm blocking her path.
“Sakura something’s wrong with him. Sauske cautioned.
“Sakura what’s Sauske going on?? What this about?? Ino asked truly puzzled by the way her lover and her best friend were acting.
Startled Sakura took a closer look and saw that eight of the nine tails had been released. That Naruto was beginning to resemble the vicious creature that she had seen only once before, On an intelligence mission with Sai and Yamato. The day that Naruto almost killed Orochimaru with one hit. If the snake sannin hadn’t managed to summon the Rashoumon, he surly would have died there and then.
“NARUTO!!!” “NARUTO I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT, I KNOW YOU CAN BEAT IT!! PLEASE NARUTO YOU JUST HAVE TOO!!!” Sakura screamed from behind Sauske’s arm.
“Sauske? Sakura? What the hell is going on?? Why is Naruto acting all funny?? Ino asked again, more startled this time.
“Ino now is not the time.” Sauske replied as he held Sakura away from Naruto as he lay twitching the tails still twisting about over his body.
“But Sauske I want to know. TELL ME!” Ino shouted.
“NOT RIGHT NOW! Just keep a safe distance. If his final tail forms I’ll have to bind him suing the Anbu’s special rope technique.” Sauske instructed her as he began to form one handed signs with his free arm.
“But Sauske I have a right to know. Why the hell are you acting all freaked out. Its only Naruto.” Ino said as she started to run closer to Naruto.
“Because if we get to close right now. Naruto could rip us to shreds. He’s battling IT inside his mind. I’ve been in there, I know what the hell the thing is capable of. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE!” Sauske screamed. Ino stopped dead in her tracks. Staring at Naruto in fear now she quickly backtracked until she was as far as Sakura and Sauske were.
“NARUTO. NARUTO I LOVE YOU!! COME BACK TO ME NARUTO!” Sakura screamed as she watched as Naruto was slowly starting to become covered in a blazing crimson chakra.
---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto heard the voices as though they were from far away. They sounded distorted, as if they were passing through water to reach him. But Naruto heard this last one as clear as day.
‘Sakura. Sauske you idiot you could have shown up at a better time.’ Though Naruto as he narrowly dodged a swipe from the massive claws of the Kyubi.
“Ah I see KIT you found your self a mate while I slept. I wonder if I should keep you alive long enough to watch me ravage her pretty body and then eat her? Would you enjoy that KIT??”
“My name is Naruto not KIT. And if you even think of touching Sakura I will kill you. I have learned many new things in the few days that you have slept. I will not lose to you ever. And with the threat of you ravaging and then killing my lover hanging over this fight. THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I WILL LET IT HAPPEN!!!” Naruto shouted as he lunged and struck the Kyubi twice, Both hits so hard that Naruto was certain that he would break his fist. But the Kyubi took the pain a lot worse then Naruto did. Bellowing in agony The Kyubi fell to the ground landing on its side.
“Now that your almost completely defenceless, I think I’m going to take a stroll through your mind.”
And with that Naruto began forming had signs once more.
“What do you mean “A Stroll Through MY Mind!?!?” The Kyubi bellowed as it tried to get back yo its feet.
“You’ll find out soon enough.“ Then striking so fast and so hard that the pain didn’t register at first Naruto drove his left fist, the fist that was not covered in a glowing green chakra, into side of the jaw of the Kyubi’s mouth. He was satisfied to hear a cracking sound as his fist connected. Then dashing away Naruto Struck the back two legs in the same manner. Then once more dashing away Naruto watched the Kyubi as the pain began to sink in.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“ It screamed as it’ felt its jaw snap from the impact.
“I broke your jaw and both your hind legs you stupid fox. Now there’s nothing more I want to hear from you. All I need to do is hit you once more and I will seal away your chakra for good…But I wont. Instead while you lay helpless there moaning in agony, I’m going to take a little stroll. The pain should keep you preoccupied while I take a look around.” Naruto continued where he left off with his hand signs and in seconds he had finished forming his hand signs and called out. “Uzumaki technique: Mind Shattering Intrusion.”
Suddenly everything was quiet. Naruto stood in a dark hallway. Only one door lay in this hall, but it was protected by two guards…though these guards looked like giant wolfs wearing armour.
“Halt. Who are you and why have you entered this place??” Inquired the guard to the left.
“My brother is right. Why have you entered this sacred area without our permission??” Asked the guard to the right.
“Well. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. And I have come on a business appointment. You see I must walk through the Kyubi’s memories. I wish to know why he is so angry with my father, and the rest of Konoha.” Naruto explained trying to reason with the guards.
“AN UZUMAKI!! NEVER WILL WE LET YOU PASS!” Both guards snarled as they drew forth spears from out of no where.
Naruto darted to the left and in one swift motion kicked the guard high in the chest. The kick Naruto landed was so fierce, that his foot actually cut the guard in half where he stood. Letting out a cry of pain the guard fell, and died. Seeing this display of fighting skill the other guard became a little less interested in fighting the young Uzumaki who was standing before him. Yet the master of the mind had told them to never let anyone in. Even if it cost them their lives. So he reached out and grabbed his fallen brother’s spear.
“YOU! YOUNG UZUMAKI,YOU SHALL PAY FOR THE DEATH OF MY BROTHER WITH YOUR OWN!!!!” And lunged with each spear baring down on Naruto. Dodging effortlessly Naruto caught the left spear and snapped the bladed end off. Then in that same motion flipped it around and impaled the second guard. Then reaching out Naruto grabbed the second spear and yanked it away from the guard. Falling over, on to his stomach the guard forced the spears head in deeper then it was originally. Bellowing out in pain and anger The tiger guard tried to once again stand. But it was no use, an icy feeling was starting to spread across his entire body and he felt like he was made out stone.
Naruto leaving the two dead guards propped beside the door snapped the remaining spear in two. Then he pushed it open and entered the room. It was exactly how he though it would be. The Kyubi had lived for so many years that It’s memories were in such a collection that Naruto could look all day until he found the one he was looking for. Starting to walk a glow deep down the line caught his eye. Rushing towards it he saw an image of Konoha, and a young ninja dressed in a white robe facing towards him while standing on tops of a giant toad. ‘The Kyubi must be feeling very hateful and angry this very moment . But because of his hate towards the Uzumaki clan it was easy to pick it out among the hundreds of thousands of memories that the Kyubi housed.. Taking his Kunai Naruto smashed the memory.
---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A cold rain fell from the sky as the Kyubi continued to rage. But standing before it was a sole person. Shouting indifferent rage towards the Kyubi the person began forming hand signs, and then when he finished, he stood on top of a giant toad. “What is that?”
“The that you are referring to is lord Gamabunta. He is a great and powerful friend of mine.” Replied the figure.
“That’s right. But Arashi, you are summoning me knowing that it may cost you your life. This enemy is a very powerful one, and yet here you are brining me out to help you fight. When this is over you and I are going to have a long chat.” Gamabunta said angrily as he looked at the Kyubi that stood before him.
“Fools! If you stand in my way of the destruction of this place, then you too shall meet its fate.” And with that the Kyubi lunged clawing at Gamabunta, and the Yodamine Arashi. Dodging up wards the two of them used a combination jutsu. The toad lord became an exact replica of the demon fox, and the two squared off. However even with its fangs and claws, the Kyubi that the Gamabunta had transformed into was being pushed back and swatted away. But it was only serving as a distraction. As Arashi finished forming his signs he cried out. “Demonic Soul Seal”
Suddenly a spirit burst forth from the earth and attached itself to the Kyubi, then while it watched in horror, it saw it’s own soul being dragged froth from its body.
“STOP!!! What are you doing!!! STOP IT NOW!!!” The Kyubi bellowed. But Arashi had already drawn forth its entire soul, and was now holding it in his hand. Then rushing to the hokage residence, he ordered a new born child who’s umbilical cord had just been cut be brought before him. Jiraiya, looking at the wound bleeding profusely from the Hokage’s chest did as he was requested, But With his return he brought back another of the Sannin of the leafs.
“Tsunade try to heal the lord hokage wounds, they look fatal.” Jiraiya said as he and Tsunade rushed towards their fallen Hokage.
“Do you have the child??’ Arashi questioned Jiraiya as he stood looking at his teacher. “Yes Lord Hokage.” Jiraiya replied as he handed the blanket wrapped infant to Arashi. Staring down, Arashi suddenly looked startled. “My son…my own son.” He whispered looking at the crying infant held within his arms. As Tsunade began to charge her hands with a glowing blue chakra Arashi spoke. “Don’t bother. I’m dead. But as my final act as hokage, I seal the demon into this boy. His Name shall be Naruto Uzumaki.” Turning he spoke to Jiraiya. “ Jiraiya take good care of my son. He is the last of my line.” And as the two stunned on lookers watched on, Arashi sealed the beast into Naruto’s chest. But by doing so he also sealed his fate. They saw a similar seal apear on his chest, and as he drew in his final breath, he spoke. “Good Bye Naruto.” Then as he turned the death god sitting behind him reached out and stuck it’s hand into his chest. Then with a yank it dragged Arashi’s soul from his body, and as Tsunade and Jiraiya watched, cut it from Arashi.
Naruto stepped out of the memory and back into the silence that was the Kyubi’s mind.
‘So that’s what happened.’ “STUPID FOX!!! HE DID YOU A FAVOR! He kept you alive inside me, hoping that you would become tamed and live on with me.” Then shouting Naruto bellowed. “YOU HEAR ME!!! HE KEPT YOU ALIVE!!!!!”
Then facing the image of his father lying dead, Naruto cried out “RELEASE!”
“FOX!! Did you hear what I shouted in your mind. I want it to echo there for all eternity. He SAVED you. He could have let that THING take you and seal you into his dieing body. But he didn’t. INSTEAD HE GAVE YOUR MISERABLE ESSISTANCE ANOTHER CHANCE!!!” Naruto as shouted as he returned to his body. Tears of sorrow fell from his face as he continued to scream. “NOW YOU WILL SUBMIT TO ME!!! HE MENT FOR US TO JOIN TOGETHER!! YOUR HATRED FOR HIM AND THE VILLAGE IS MISSPLACED!” “NOW JOIN ME!!!!!”
“Wht????WHT DO YU MEEAN HE SAVD ME?!?!?! HE BANSHD ME INTO YU!!!” The Kyubi cried thorugh its broken jaw.
“No you stupid fox. It was not a banishment, it was a sanctuary. If you had remained out there, someone else would have given there life to seal you in their dieing body. HE SAVED YOU!” “He wanted you to forget and to live on inside of me with out hate or anger. He wanted you to be free in a way that you never knew you could be” Naruto said sobbing. Then turning to look directly into the Kyubi‘s face he continued. “Now join with me and help set his soul at rest. He’s in pain right now. He can see your hatred and scorn for him. And he sees how you still direct it towards the village. Help me do him proud. Join me and help me fulfil his wish. We can live together, without need of fighting, or scorn for one another. A peaceful life. Don’t you want a peaceful life???”
For a moment there was silence then in one quick motion the Kybui threw its head to the side. Naruto heard another bone jarring crack as the Kybui relocated its broken jaw.
“Boy you speak words of truth. For years I have hid from them, but you speak them so calmly, You would rather live with me then not have me. It’s interesting to see, just how much I can learn from you. And if HE truly did intend for us to join, in order to save me, then……so be it.” The Kyubi spoke softly. Finally it understood.
And with that the Fox lowered its head and stopped resisting Naruto. Naruto reached out and stepped forward, embracing the Kyubi’s snout. Then just like that, the Kyubi began to change. It began to dissolve and change into nothing more then a shimmering light. Then as Naruto watched in astonishment, the light began to float towards him. As it touched his skin Naruto felt a pleasant sensation. Like he was being wrapped in a cloud. As he felt the glowing energy pass into him, Naruto could almost swear he heard a chuckling. “Welcome home fox.” Naruto spoke the words aloud. But to his surprise he heard an answer that he wasn’t expecting.
“Thank you my friend, it is good to be home.” The Kyubi replied from somewhere deep within Naruto.
Then as the light entered Naruto completely, he felt a warm tingly sensation right behind his heart. The Kyubi had decided to integrate itself with Naruto at last. ‘Alright well it’s time we went back.’ Naruto thought as he stood staring at the spot where the Kyubi had been laying. Then looking around himself Naruto noticed the room around himself started to dissolve. The Kyubi’s cell, simply ceased to exist. Walking back out the door, Naruto turned and took one last look at the now disappearing area. Then closing the door, he turned and began to walk back the way he had come.
