Chapter 15: Death in the family
Sarutobi looked around his office while the man in front of him put some files away in a briefcase. “That’s about everything on this matter Mr. President.” The man said.
Sarutobi nodded and set down the pin in his hand, sitting back and relaxing a little. “How’s Konohamaru doing?” He had people follow Konohamaru from time to time, being the President’s Grandson always put him in a reasonable amount of danger. Mainly he did it to keep him out of trouble, Konohamaru could get in a reasonable amount very easily.
Konohamaru didn’t seem to think so, he knew his Grandfather had people watch him from time to time. And when he realized it was one of those times he did just about anything he could to lose them, he’d actually become pretty good at watching his back and evading .
“He’s alright, still mainly staying around Uchiha Sasuke.” The man told him, he was one of president’s main escort and was in charge of trailing Konohamaru.
“Good to hear.” Sarutobi nodded agreeingly, dismissing the man.
Just the man left another man walked in, Sarutobi could tell something was wrong by the solemn expression on his face. “Mr. President…I have some bad news.”
Sarutobi stood up from his desk, looking at the man curiously “What is it?”
“Your Son and Daughter in-law….they were killed.”
Sarutobi’s eyes went wide in shock, but his expression quickly changed back to normal and he lowered his head. “What happened?”
“They were killed in the line of duty.” Sarutobi’s son was a Commander in Leaf’s army, a decorated officer in the war the Leaf was currently having with the Sound, it had been going on for a few year’s now.
His son’s wife was volunteering as a communication’s officer at the base they were stationed in, She was the person that got the information out about there base being over taken. So reinforcements got there in to time reclaim it from Sound’s forces call their reinforcements, but not before irreparable damage was done.
“…Find Konohamaru and bring him back to me. I want to be the one to tell him.” Sarutobi said, sitting back down at his desk and resting his head in his hands.

Sasuke closed one eye, taking aim at the target at the very back of the shooting range. It was 400 yards away with dim lighting, other’s had problems but the Uchiha family always had sharp eyesight. Sasuke fired one round with the standard issue 9mm, he tried again but he quickly found that it only had one round in the magazine. Yet another one of Kakashi’s surprises, nothing was what it seemed so far.
The lights returned to normal and the target sheet was pulled back towards Sasuke’s booth by a track. He hit the outer ring of the bull’s eye, close but not quite. Good enough to pass anyway, which Sasuke was thankful for.
“Not bad.” Kakashi said, looking over the nine candidates with and obvious smile showing in his eyes.
“What the hell happened to the rest of my bullets?” Sasuke asked, pulling the magazine out of the gun and setting them down on the table behind him separately.
“You have to be ready for the unexpected.” Kakashi pulled a remote out from his pocket and pointed it towards the very end of the shooting range. When he pressed a button the back wall started to retract into a larger room while the booths that separated each person was pulled into the ceiling by a lift.
“This time you’ll be tested on moving targets, and guess who’s lucky number one?” Kakashi pulled a black bullet proof vest out of a cabinet and tossed it to Sasuke, along with an M4A1 machine gun. Sasuke put on the vest, wondering why he would need it of this was only the entrance exam.
“These targets fire back, and through you wont be actually shot, the vest will give you a mild shock every time your hit.” Kakashi explained, pushing Sasuke in to the range and pressing a button that dropped down a wall of bullet proof glass from the ceiling.
There was nothing here, making Sasuke question the nature of this test. But he stayed on guard anyway knowing Kakashi was just waiting for the perfect moment to-- Sasuke turned around abruptly when he heard something slide down from the ceiling. It was a mechanical dummy with an M4A1 in it’s hands.
Sasuke opened fire, firing 4 bullets into it’s chest. Just about as soon he’d finished that one off he heard another one drop down about 10 feet behind him. Sasuke dived to the side when he heard it open fire, rolling on to his knees and pulled the trigger.
This time nothing happened, ‘Damnit Kakashi!’ Sasuke tossed empty riffle at the mechanical dummy to distract it while he ran toward the first one he’d taken out. Crouching slight, he picked up it’s gun and turned it on the machine, disabling it wit two shots to the head.
Sasuke looked towards Kakashi with a angry glare, switching the gun from Automatic to Semi-automatic to save ammo. A small sliding sound snapped him back into alertness, it came from his side, a panel in the wall slid open and revealed another machine that started firing as soon as it had an unobstructed view. He had just enough time to fall to the ground and roll to the side, sending 3 shot’s into it’s stomach and one into the arm with the gun.
Sasuke used his free hand to lift himself on to his feet, looking around the now silent room. It seemed to be over…Until Sasuke felt a strong shock in his arm, much stronger then Kakashi had described it to be. Sasuke’s left hand fell from the gun and he turned quickly towards the direction of the shot. It came from machine in the same side panel as the one before and Sasuke obviously didn’t expect it.
Sasuke grunted and rolled to the side, firing while he rolled and somehow hit the machine in the neck. But unfortunately he felt a line of shocks along his back soon after, he’d been hit by another machine behind him.
Kakashi pressed another button on his remote to stop the machines and raise the glass separating Sasuke. “You pass, and I like that roll and shoot thing you did.” Kakashi pulled him up with another smile hidden below his collar.

“This is so depressing…you shouldn’t have to choice between your both of your son’s life. That’s just wrong.” Lee said, reaching into a the bucket of popcorn sitting in the other Lee’s lap.
“This so confusing…which one of you is my Lee?” Gai asked.
The Lee sitting next to the one with the popcorn raised his hand, his eyes still on the movie screen in front of him. “Hmm….” Gai moved in-between them so he could keep better track of who was who, the one on his left was from the present and the one on the right was from the past.
“So your really from the past?” Gai found a hard time believing it, but he also had a hard time not believing it considering it did come from Lee. “You do act like it…and you do have the forehead protector….Let me see that.”
Lee untied it from his waist and handed it to Gai who looked over it closely, tapping it a few times with his finger. “It’s real alright, this type of alloy doesn’t exist anymore except in these old forehead protectors. And it’s so shiny and clean, nothing that’s been burred for 2 millenniums could be in such good condition. you must be telling the truth.”
“Gai-Sensei, why isn’t there any more of it?” Lee asked, tying it back around his waist.
“Good question Lee. People use to refine Konoha’s land for this like metal alloy, but the fact of the matter is that the storm that destroyed Konoha 2000 year’s ago destroyed the land and turned it a lake. So it didn’t form anymore because the conditions weren’t right.” The lake the storm created turned into a storm.
“You know, that’s worth a lot of money.” The Lee from the present said.
“Nah, I think I’ll keep it. I had to work hard to get this and I don’t want to give it up that easily.” Lee told him.
“This is great, now I have two of my favorite students.” Gai said with an extremely happy smile on his face.

Konohamaru sighed as he looked back, he obviously didn’t go to his class because he didn’t want to spend another 5 hours sitting through that. ‘Great, Grandpa must have sent them to bring me back.’ Konohamaru sighed. Once again he saw the familiar men in the black suits led by the President’s chief of security. They weren’t even being inconspicuous, in fact it’d be pretty hard not to see them walking down the street.
“Konohamaru! We’ve been looking all over for you.” The man walked up to Konohamaru while the other four waited a few feet behind him.
“No! Your not taking me back this time Ebisu.” Konohamaru shouted. “Every time I go someplace I have to be followed! Not this time!”
Ebisu wasn’t trying to argue this time, even though he knew Konohamaru was right he usually tried to convince him otherwise to make his job easier. The situation didn’t call for that, “Konohamaru please…Your Grandfather has to tell you something very important.”
Konohamaru shook his head, “I’m not. Going. Back!” He turned and took off running in the opposite direction.
“Konohamaru! Damnit!” Ebisu waved the other men after him and perused, but they did run into problems, like rush hour in downtown Konoha. Which meant a lot of traffic on the road and on the sidewalk, Konohamaru had a much easier time slipping through the people.
Konohamaru moved easily in-between the pedestrians, turning into an ally and jumping behind a dumpster. The boy quietly peeked from behind it, watching the men move past the ally and away from him. “Heh Heh.”
“Konohamaru!”
Konohamaru looked up and saw Ebisu standing right above him, with a startled yelp Konohamaru started running again. Ebisu reached out and tried to grab his scarf but Konohamaru just barely got out of range, heading fore the fence at the end of the ally since Ebisu was blocking the entrance.
“Not today!” Konohamaru dived…tripped and fell to the ground just as Ebisu reached for him again. But started rolling as soon as he was down, slipping under a small hole in the bottom of the tall chain link and leaving Ebisu on the other side.
But that didn’t slow him down much, Ebisu took a step back and jumped at the fence. Kicking off of it and bouncing to the right wall then kicking off that to the other side of the fence in one fluid motion.
“Whaaaa!” Konohamaru hadn’t expected this, he didn’t even have enough time to get up before the guard was already above him. The boy kept rolling because it was the only action he had time to take, But he ended up accidentally falling into the basement window of the store on this side of the alley. “Owwww….”
“Konohamaru, are you alright?” Ebisu knelt down by the window, finding it was too small for him to slip through. He had to say, Konohamaru kept his job….interesting, you never knew what would happen with him.
“I’m fine--I mean, you wont catch me this time!” Ebisu could hear Konohamaru’s fleeing footsteps, which way did he go, to the front of back door?
50/50 chance, it was time to take a risk. “I say…front door!” Ebisu ran out of the ally, running into what was apparently a restaurant…with no sign of Konohamaru what’s so ever. “Damn!” Ebisu ran out of the restaurant, going in to the ally and jumping the fence that stood next to the back door.
Once again, nothing. “Great! Where did he disappear to?” Ebisu shook his head and ran out of the alley to search the streets.
! - ! - !
Konohamaru stood at the only place he knew Ebisu wouldn’t look, an that was at Naruto’s doorstep. Ebisu absolutely hated Naruto like most other people in Konoha, he would never think to come here. Konohamaru knocked on the door with a small snicker.
Shikamaru opened it tiredly, he’d apparently fallen asleep and the only the only reason he’d answered was because Naruto prompted him . “Konohamaru?”
“I need to hide out here until Ebisu leaves me alone.” Konohamaru said, walking in to Naruto’s apartment and into the bed room.
“Who is that?” Shikamaru asked.
Naruto stirred and rolled over with a small yawn, “The president’s head of personal security, he’s always trying to bring Konohamaru back to his Grandfather for one reason or another.” The boy sat up, fixing his shirt and scratching his head some.
Konohamaru picked up a remote from it’s usual place on Naruto’s dresser and turning on the TV at the head of the room next to the door. The first channel it came to was showing news, Konohamaru was about to turn when one word caught his attention, President.
He decide to watch at lest for a moment.
Naruto and Shikamaru stood over Konohamaru’s shoulder as the news was announced to the public. The words were that the President’s son and his wife were killed in the line of duty, as soon as Konohamaru heard that…
“Mom…Dad? They…couldn’t be.” Konohamaru fell silent as the details of what happened were revealed, Konohamaru’s face dropping even more with each word. More and more until finally Konohamaru buried his face in his hands.
“Konohamaru….” Naruto placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, but all it seemed to do was make the silent sobs become louder. ‘Damn… Sasuke could make him feel better, but he’s not going to be back until tomorrow…’
Naruto hugged the boy softly “It’s alright….” he said softly. Konohamaru’s sobs became a little louder as he turned and burred his face into Naruto’s chest, holding him around the waist tightly.
