Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Naruto, Zodiac Reincarnation ❯ A Familiar Call ( Chapter 2 )

A Familiar Call

 

Saori was looking up at the sky, she couldn't believe that it had taken them a year to rebuild the Sanctuary; she had only been able to go back to Japan a couple of time. Even though she was surrounded by people that care about her, she couldn't help but think that the Sanctuary felt empty, the twelve houses had nobody to guard them, the mere thought of their sacrifice sadden the girl.

 

“A…At…Ath” Saori heard a voice coming from behind, the purple haired girl turned around, something about that voice…, sadly the girl couldn't find where it had come from, she started to look around but found nothing.

 

Suddenly Saori started to hear steps; she immediately turned around and saw a brown haired boy with a red shirt walking up the stairs. “Saori-san, there you are.” Seiya said as he took the last step. “Shun wanted me to tell you that dinner will be ready in about twenty minutes, and that this time you'll have to eat everything” Seiya said with a grin.

 

Saori smiled at the message. After what had happen with Apollo and Artemis, her remaining Saints had become a little overprotective with her, even Ikki will check on her every once in a while, but the two worse cases had been Seiya and Shun, she couldn't remember how many time had she had to stop Seiya from beating Jabu or Ichi because, according to Seiya, they disrespected her. On the other hand Shun had taken a sort of brotherly figure, he was later teased by Seiya because the Pegasus Saint allege that the reason for Shun over protectiveness was because the Andromeda Saint was tired of always been the younger brother, and wanted to and try to be someone's older brother for a change.

 

“I'll head down, don't worry.” Saori responded, this cause Seiya to grin wider. “What about Shiryu, and Hyoga, where are they?” the girl asked. “Hyoga is helping Shun set everything.” Seiya begun, suddenly his face saddened a little. “Shiryu is a at the statue again.” The Saint finished.

 

Saori's eyes saddened at the boys words, out of all her remaining Saints, Shiryu was probably taken the Gold Saints sacrifice the hardest, Dohko had been a very important figure for the Dragon Saint, sort like a grandfather. While Shura, though briefly, had taken a place as an older brother.

 

“Miss them too…” The girl begun, the both were on silence for a few seconds. Suddenly both of them felt an incredible power surge. “What is that?” Seiya asked looking at every direction trying to find the source. “It's incredibly powerful.” Seiya said.

 

Saori started shaking, that kind of power wasn't for a Saint, it was way too power, it almost felt as though it was from a… “Why does it feel so familiar and yet…” Saori started to concentrate and figure out where the cosmos came form.

 

Suddenly the power disappeared completely. “What was that?” Seiya asked still looking around. “I don't know, but it was too powerful to be a Saint.” Saori said worried, she still couldn't shaken up the feeling of familiarity from that cosmos.

 

“Saori-san, Seiya” The girl and the Saint heard a voice come towards them. The both turned around to see a green haired boy and a blond one running towards them. “Did you felt that too?” Shun asked as they reached the top of the stairs.

 

“Of course with did, that cosmos was too powerful to missed.” Seiya said as he looked at the sky. “It was more powerful than the Angle's cosmos.” Hyoga said with seriousness on his face. “It felt frightening.” Shun said looking down at the floor; somehow that cosmos reminded him of Hades.

 

All three saints looked at their goddess; Saori had remained silence since the cosmos appeared. “Saori-san what do you think we should do?” Seiya asked. The purple haired girl looked down at the floor. “I wasn't able to figure out exactly where the cosmos was from, but I got an idea. I think that we should find the source, that cosmos was too powerful to by from a normal person.” The girl continued. “Could you go and get Shiryu, I'll contact the Foundation to see if I can find where it came form.” Saori finished.

 

The three Saints nodded and started their way down the stairs. Saori stayed still for a couple of seconds before she looked at the sky. “Who are you?” She asked. “Why are you calling me? And why does it feel so familiar?”

 

-Next Day-

 

“Saori-san did you found the place? Seiya asked. All four Bronze Saints were waiting at the lobby, their goddess had asked them to bring their cloths and be ready for a trip. “Yes I did, it appears that that it came from a village that for some reason has connections with the Sanctuary.” Saori said with a puzzled look on her face. “Buy why do they have connections with the Sanctuary? According to the information they have been involve for fifteen years; that was before Shion died.”

 

“Saori-san are you ok?” Shun asked. The Andromeda Saint's words snapped the girl out of her thoughts. “Oh sorry I just drifted off.” Saori apologized. “Like I was saying. I've already got in contact with the village leader, and she has given us her permission to enter. The helicopter will be ready in a few hours.” The purple haired girl explained.

 

“But why are we taking our cloths?” Hyoga asked. “I feel that we'll need them. I'm not sure if that cosmos was hostile, but there something that urges me to be prepare.” The girl responded. All four Saints nodded in understanding. “Shun, What about Ikki?” Shiryu asked the green haired boy, Shun looked at towards the ground. “I couldn't find him anywhere, he still have problems socializing, but I doubt he'll do nothing after feeling that cosmos.” Shun looked up, his face wore a small smile. “And most important, even if he doesn't like to admit it, he still part of our team.” The other three Saints and the goddess smiled and nodded in agreement at the Andromeda Saint's words.

 

-Konoha-

 

“So, why did you come?” A blond woman asked a red haired teenager. “The power surge was felt all the way at Sunagakure, I just have the feeling it'll be him.” Gaara responded without a hint of emotion.

 

Tsunade looked at the young Kazekage for a couple of seconds. “Do you really care this much for him?” The woman asked. “He's one of my only friends, I owe him that much. Beside I know what happen with his bijuu, and I found it odd that he was able to emit so much power.” The red haired responded. “Now what was that abut a Foundation asking about him?” Gaara asked the Hokage.

 

The Godaime sighed before answering. “The Graude Foundation, it seems that it's connected to this place called Sanctuary; that for some reasons have ties with us.” Tsunade said. “What do you mean `ties' with you?” Gaara asked, now he was really getting curious. Tsunade sighed once again. “I went to the hospital to ask Jiraiya about it, but he told me that it was a request for the Yondaime to Sarutobi-sensei right before he died during the Kyuubi attack, but I'm sure he knows more than his telling.” The woman finished.

 

Gaara stood silence for a couple of second before he looked out of the window. “I can feel it. Something is coming, something powerful, and frightening.” The red haired paused and looked at a picture of Naruto that the Hokage had on her office. “Or maybe…it's already here.”

 

-Seven Hours Later-

 

“Are with there yet?” Seiya asked sitting on the helicopter. “No” Hyoga responded, the blond was sitting next to the brow haired and had an irritated look on his face. “How about now?” The Pegasus Saint asked. “No” The blond responded. “And now?” Seiya asked. “No” the Cygnus Saint responded.

 

Seiya stood silence for about five seconds before turning to the blond. “Are we there yet?” The brow haired boy asked. Hyoga clenched his fist before turning to Saori. “Are you sure you won't rethink about the `Don't freeze Seiya in mid-flight' rule?” The blond asked. The purple haired girl giggled slightly. “Seiya we would get there in a few minutes, so please stop bothering Hyoga, or I will change the rule.” Saori said. Seiya folded his arms and mutter something about only wanting to know how long it would take them to get there; the other three Saint broke into a fit of laughter.

 

-Somewhere in Fire Country-

 

“Are you sure you want to go there?” A blue skinned man asked. “Yes, I completely sure that that power surge came for Konoha” A raven haired man answered. “But what can it be? The Kyuubi is dead; there shouldn't be anything that powerful there.” Kisame said. “That's what I want to find out, called nostalgia or curiosity, either way I'll go to Konoha.” Itachi said as the started on his way. “At leas don't get yourself kill, alright?” Kisame called, the Uchiha waved his hand as a sign of acknowledgement.

 

-Konoha-

 

Naruto woke up in a hospital room once again. For a few second the blond thought that everything had been a dream, that in any moment he would hear the fox making fun of him for fainting. Sadly it hadn't been a dream, he couldn't sense the demon anymore, but he could sense the other thing and it was way stronger than before.

 

The genin tried to recall what had happen, but he could only remember the pain on his head, the gold aura surrounding his body, and the girl…the girl, why was it that he felt he had seen her before? And that word that he was unable to finish, what could have been?

 

“Naruto?” The blond heard someone said form the door, the ex-jinchuuriki turned around to find his former sensei at the door. “Are you ok?” Kakashi asked. The jounin waited a few second until the blond spoke. “What happened?” Naruto asked.

 

Kakashi sighed before he answered. “Last night, I sensed an incredible power surge coming from the monumental stoned, when I looked out side I saw this giant pillar of golden light. By the time I got there the light had vanished, and you were laying there unconscious.” Kakashi watched the boy gaze down at his sheets. “What happened last night?” The silver haired man asked.

 

Now it was Naruto's turn to sigh, he wanted to talk to Jiraiya first, but Kakashi would have to do. “After what happen with Kyuubi,” Naruto began. “I started to feel something different inside of me. At first I didn't give it to much thought but now, I feel as though it's about to take over.” The genin said without shifting his gaze from his sheets.

 

Tsunade watched as the helicopter land, next to her stood Gaara and Shizune. The helicopter's doors opened and a purple haired girl stepped out, Tsunade couldn't shake off the feeling that the girl gave her, it was a feeling of an incredible power that she had only felt on Naruto. “You must be Saori-san. My name is Tsunade, I'm the village leader.” The blond woman presented herself.

 

Saori bowed slightly. “It's nice to meet you Tsunade-sama. These are my friends Seiya, Hyoga, Shun, and Shiryu.” The girl said as each one of her Saints stepped out of the helicopter. Tsunade nodded. “This is my assistance, Shizune.” Tsunade said gesturing towards the black haired woman to her said. “And this is Gaara, he's the leader of an ally village.” The Hokage said gesturing to the red haired who just nodded.

 

“I believe you already know what we came for.” Saori said. Tsunade nodded before speaking. “Yes, I know. But before I show you to him I would like to know more about all of this.” Tsunade said. Now it was Saori's turn to nod. “And I would like to inform you all about it.” The purple haired began. “But, it would be better if we speak privately” Tsunade nodded once again. “Shizune, would you please take Saori-san's companions and show them around.” The Hokage said. “I'll do it” Gaara offered. Tsunade nodded before she led Saori towards the Hokage tower.

 

-One Hour Later-

 

“You don't seem so surprise.” Saori said after she had told everything to the Hokage. “When you live a life like mine, few things surprise you.” Tsunade said. “Besides, I found some files from my sensei, the previous Hokage, that talk about something like this.” The blond said. “Tsunade-sama, may I asked you, what are the ties between this village and the Sanctuary?” The purple haired girl asked.

 

“I don't really know. It was something that the previous Hokage did, and I was ignorant to it until yesterday.” Tsunade said before. The goddess nodded in understanding. “Well, I think it's time you meet him.” The Godaime began. “I received word that he already woke up, we'll just wait until Gaara gets back with your companions and I'll take you there.” Tsunade said smiling at the girl.

 

Naruto was sitting on his bed, he was feeling better that when he woke up. Neji and Sai had come to visit him. “So you fainted again.” Sai said. “Well, what can you expect from somebody who doesn't have a pe-” Sai began but was cut by Naruto once again. “What did I tell you about those jokes?” The blond said frowning at his teammate, this cause the two black haired nin to start laughing.

 

Suddenly the door opened and Tsunade entered the room. “Obaasan” Naruto exclaimed. This made the Hokage boil in anger, but she forced herself to calm down. “Naruto, there's someone I would like you to meet; she might know something about what happened to you.” The blond woman said.

 

Tsunade went to the hallway. After a couple of seconds the blond came back, she was followed by a purple haired girl in a white dress. Naruto and Saori stood in silence, each one looking at the each other's eyes.

 

“That's the girl, the one that was at that temple” Naruto thought, he had unconsciously moved to the bed's edge. “Why do I feel like I know him?” Saori thought, she could feel the strange cosmos coming form the blond. “He seems so familiar, why do I feel like this?”

 

“Hi” Naruto decided to break the silence. “My name is Uzamaki Naruto.” The boy said grinning. Saori was snapped out of her thoughts by the blonde's word. “H-Hi, my name is Saori, Kido Saori.” The purple haired girl said bowing slightly.

 

The stayed in silence once again. This time Tsunade decided to break the silence. “Maybe you two should get out; you probably have a lot to talk about.” The Hokage said. The blond woman smile as the blond boy and the purple haired girl snapped out of their trance blushing.

 

-Twenty Minutes Later-

 

Naruto and Saori had been walking for a few minuets in complete silence. The both felt as though they had already met, but they couldn't explain what. Naruto led the girl to a stream at the outskirts of the village, it was a nice place to just hang out and relax.

 

“Why do I feel like this?” Naruto asked. “What do you mean?” Saori asked event though she was about to ask the same thing. “Why do I feel like I know you form somewhere?” Naruto said.

 

The girl stood in silence for a couple of second. “I don't know, but I feel the same way.” She responded. Naruto sat down next to the girl and looked towards the stream. “Tsunade-baasan probably told you, but I had a demon sealed inside of me for all my life.” Naruto began. “Then, even though we never got along, he sacrifice his life to safe me. And now I feel like something else inside of me is trying to overwhelm me.” Naruto explain.

 

The blond stood quite for a moment before he continued. “I'm scare, even the times when I lost myself in Kyuubi's powers I never felt like this.” Naruto was startled when he felt a hand on his shoulder. “I may not know what's inside of you; but maybe I can help.” Saori said. Naruto nodded. “Thanks, Saori-chan.” The blond said. Saori blushed slightly at the blonde's words. “Ok, first close your eyes and tried to concentrate your energy.” The girl said. Naruto did as he was told, the blond closed his eyes and started to consenter, after a couple of second he could feel the same sensation he felt the night prior, only without the pain.

 

Saori closed her eyes and focused her cosmos on Naruto. After a moment she found herself in a strange place, it was all cover in mist and she couldn't seem very much. The girl started to walk into the mist, after a couple of minuets she saw a figure standing not far away.

 

When the girl got closed, Saori realized that it was Naruto, she walk until she was right behind him. Saori put her hand on his shoulder, the blond turned towards the purple haired girl. Saori nearly gasped when she saw the blonde's eyes, Naruto's eyes had change from blue to orange.

 

Seiya, Shun, Hyoga, and Shiryu were talking with Gaara, Neji and Sai. They were at a restaurant waiting for their food, when suddenly all seven teen felt a huge power surge coming from the outskirts of the village.

 

Saori felt something push her and she found herself back at the stream. Naruto standing, his body was cover in a golden aura and he was clenching his head. “S-Saori-chan, its n-not safe for y-you here, I can feel it, it's about t-to free it-itself.” The blonde said clenching his head in pain.

 

The girl stood frozen, Naruto's cosmos was way stronger than the last time, it rivaled those of Hades and Apollo, and it was still growing. “Saori-san” Seiya screamed, the purple haired girl turned around to see her four bronze Saints coming towards them, they had their cloths on their back, they were followed by Gaara, and the two boys Saori had seen in Naruto's hospital room.

 

“What's happening?” Seiya asked as they reach the purple haired girl. “P-Please, you n-need to get a-away, I can't hold it b-back much l-longer.” Naruto manage to say through the pain. “Naruto” Saori said as she tried to get closer to the blond. “Saori-chan please, I w-wont be able to h-hold it back any…” The genin stopped as his eyes widened.

 

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH” Naruto screamed as his body was completely covered by a golden light, the aura that around the blond shot to the sky. “AHHH” Shiryu said as the power from the light pushed him, alone with the other, back.

 

The light started to weaken until it reverted back to the golden aura. The light had created a crater where Naruto stood; the blond had his eyes close and was looking at the floor. “Naruto” Saori whispered. The blond open his eyes and looked up.

 

Everyone gasped when they looked into the blonde's eyes; the sapphire orbs were missing, and were replaced by a fierce orange color. The Naruto smirked as the golden aura swirled around his body. “It's nice to see you again.” The blond said looking straight at Saori, his voice was different, and his body radiated a powerful cosmos. “Sister” finished the blond.

 

Saori gasped, she could recognize Naruto's cosmos now, but she just could believe who he was. “Ares” The girl whispered.
