When The Sakura Blooms
Chapter 1: To Be Home Again...
-----
The pain was overwhelming. It felt like there was a kunai being pierced into his heart, then dragged down then back up again. He screamed and screamed yet no one heard him. No one ever heard or listened. Completely oblivious to everything around them and for once, he was grateful of it.
'Just 2 more minutes Kit.'
'I know I'm trying my hardest to hold on.' Naruto let out a howl of pain. Then the pain stopped. Naruto lay panting on the floor of a forest.
'It's over Kit. How are you feeling?'
'I've had better days.’ For minutes he lay on the forest floor trying to regain his composure and get over the pain. Soon he stood getting ready to depart. ‘Oh well, time to get going.'
He leapt from tree to tree to get to his destination, Konoha. Although there was still a dull ache in his chest, he kept a rather fast pace.
'The sun will be rising soon, I should move faster. I do intend to go to Tsunade-Baabaa first.'
-----
[KONOHA GATES]
'Ahh we're here Kyuu.'
'Yes Kit, we’re here,' Kyuubi mocked sarcastically.
'Shut up damned fox' Naruto said effectively blocking out Kyuubi, but not before hearing a faint 'Brat!' Naruto chuckled inwardly.
Naruto and Kyuubi developed a method of communicating, although at first they were hateful towards each other, Kyuubi started to treat Naruto as would a mother or older sister.
'Ahh... 1, 2, 3, 4 guards on duty. Baabaa sure is down on security. Ahh.. the question is: Do I feel like dealing with them tonight? Nope.'
Naruto quietly became one with the shadows, darting around with incredible speed. All that could be seen was a gold whip dancing through the night, living up to his title; Golden Blade.
Swiftly and silently Naruto landed outside the Hokage tower.
'Well don't want her to scream and hug me, there won't be any lovey dovey stuff. Give her the scroll, receive my punishment, and tell her my news and leave.' Naruto put his emotionless mask in place. He began a firm, brisk walk to the Hokage's office.
-----
[OUTSIDE THE HOKAGE'S OFFICE]
"I'm here to see the Hokage," Naruto stated. But when he lifted his head he was greeted with the sight of Shikamaru Nara.
"Naruto? Is that really you?"
"Ahh Nara-san nice to see you. May I enter please? I have urgent business with Hokage-sama."
'Nara-san. What the hell Naruto? What happened?’
"Ahh troublesome. Hai, enter."
-----
'Oh no, he's in there. Kyuu do I go in?'
'Kit it's now or never. You didn't come all the way here for nothing did you?'
'No, your right. I'm being a coward. Okay, here i go.'
'Good luck Kit'
'Thanks'
-----
Naruto opened the door. Small gasps could be heard from all around the room.
I bowed down, "Hokage-sama, I have returned."
"Naruto!" Several people screamed at once. But only one person stood, shocked beyond existence.
To say that Naruto was beautiful was an insult. There he stood in white Jounin like pants, with a white tank. Wearing white sandals, with gold strapping material starting from his ankle and disappearing under his pants.
Across his waist was 2 gold strapping holding his Katana in place on his back. The white and gold contrasting with his tan skin, making him look ethereal. His hair long and held in a pony tail just below his shoulders now had faint streaks of red and gold.
The silence was broken by Tsunade asking,
"Naruto, is that really you?"
"Yes Hokage-sama. I am Uzumaki Naruto. I have returned to Konoha to give you this scroll, it shows everything I have done in my time away from home. Please.." He bowed and held it out to her.
As she opened it, it was like a 3D movie was created showing everything Naruto had done. The pain, the sweat, the tears, the good, the bad. Everything. Everyone sat watching in fascination, until it began…
Naruto's battle against Akatsuki. He moved like water, blitzing his way through every jutsu sent at him and his taijutsu was like a dance. He defeated 2 of them. All around him were chants of,
"The Golden Blade."
"Yes Hokage-sama. Now that you have seen what I have been doing..." but before he could continue she cut him off,
"5 years. You left for 5 years.” Her voice began to rise. “You never came back with Jiraiya. Did you stay with him at all?" All Naruto could do was hang his head in shame. Yes he had left after a month with the old pervert, after he found out...
“You leave him for 2 years and 4 months with a bunshin. He didn’t even realize, until he came with it. Standing in front of this very desk now, all it said was, ‘Thank you and good bye’ and it poofed into thin air. Why? Why Naruto?” She lost it, the tears were flowing freely down her face. Sakura went and stood behind her master and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, hoping to comfort.
He couldn’t look up. He couldn’t see the pain on all their faces, couldn’t handle the fact that he’d put it there. His mask was slipping. With his eyes never leaving the floor like it was the most interesting thing he asked,
"Hokage-sama, what do you wish my punishment to be?" He knew by the rustling, that she was straightening herself and wiping tears, although they continued to flow freely down her face.
"Did you, Uzumaki Naruto, give any secretive information to the enemy?"
"No I did not. I am prepared to swear on my blade." He gracefully bent down and retrieved his Katana. Placing it near his throat he swore,
"Should I be lying towards my superiors please take my life now." The all gasped, but nothing happened.
"Enough. You shall receive no harsh punishment, but Naruto, I have to ask, why have you returned?”
“Because... I’m dying.” His mask stayed firm in place, though he did not lift his head. He could not bear to look in the faces of those he loved when he told them. Then someone began to laugh. It was Kiba.
‘Ohhh, here we go.’ Back in the recesses of his mind, Kyuubi chuckled.
“You’re funny Naruto. You’re joking yeah? I mean you the one always going round saying I’ll be the next Hokage, you can’t be serious? NARUTO! WHY AREN’T YOU ANSWERING ME?” He was on the verge of tears but he couldn’t show them weaknesses, he had to be strong for them.
“I’m sorry Inuzuka-san, this is no joke.”
“Since when did I become Inuzuka-san?” Kiba mocked. “What did you forget us out there? Huh? Forgot all your friends? Now you come back and say you’re dying, this has got to be one of the lamest pranks ever Uzumaki.” Kiba spat.
“Enough please.” Naruto’s voice sounded just loud enough for them to hear. “I have come not to feel pity nor sympathy. I have not come back to place a burden upon you, for there is nothing you can do... Only him…” It was a mere whisper but they heard it.
“Who is he, Naruto? Who can help you?”
“He won’t, so don’t bother. I have accepted my death; please I only have 2 months left. Leave me be.” Naruto knew he was practically begging but he needed to get out of there, his mask was going to slip soon and the ache in his chest increased.
“Naruto, we want to help. Just tell us who it..”
“I am far long gone for help now. Hokage-sama.” He bowed and against all protests, turned and vanished.
“Sasuke; go find Iruka and Kakashi, search every place that Naruto would usually go to. The rest of you come with me.”
“Tsunade-shishou.” Sakura started.
“What is it Sakura?”
“I think I know where he is headed.”
“Are you sure Sakura?”
“Positive.” She said with a nod of her head.
“Well then, change of plans. Kiba!”
“Hai.”
“Go get Iruka and Kakashi. Then meet us at…”
“Meet us at the lake in the village’s forests. I remember he always said you could see the stars better from the reflection in the water.” As Sakura began to tear, Lee put a hand on her shoulder and said,
“Hokage-sama I think we should get going.”
“Yes, let’s go.”
-----
[AT THE LAKE]
‘They think this is easy on me or something, accepting my own death?’
‘Kit. KIT! Calm down, you need to relax. NOW!’
‘Yeah you’re right Kyuu, I’m sorry. Well let’s start, shall we.’
To Naruto’s known or unknown, hidden in the bushes were all his friends, the Hokage herself, the father figure and his old teammates.
Naruto pinpointed the exact location of the centre and began doing hand signs so fast that even Kakashi’s and Sasuke’s sharingan had a hard time catching up with him.
All at once the water settled then began spiraling a large circular dome large dome around him. With another couple of hand signs and a new jutsu erupt and at the outer edge of the water dome fire was dancing in circles. All viewers held their breathe as mist began to rise from the floor inside the dome. With final hand signs, it began to snow inside the dome.
This is where the dance begun. He became an expert in taijutsu while visiting the Hidden Village of Mist. He did his taijutsu dancing in his dome like he was some sort of ninja ballerina.
It was the most beautiful site anyone had ever seen. Then all at once, it stopped. When Naruto opened his eyes, they were bloodshot.
‘That whole dance he cried none stop. What happened to him?’ Kakashi thought.
They all kept quiet, not wanting him to know they were there, but how wrong they were.
“That wasn’t meant for all of you.” He said, keeping his voice as steady as possible.
“Naruto,” Sakura spoke up first taking a cautious step forward. “That was beautiful but why? Why was it filled with pain? Why was it so sad?”
“It doesn’t matter Haruno-san. That was meant for him.” He whispered, they would never understand. Then Naruto fell flat on the ground, panting, writhing and screaming in pain. He could just barely hear the screams of his name.
“NARUTO! NARUTO! ANSWER ME!” But the pain was so bad, that he couldn’t even form a sentence in his own mind.
‘Kit, what happened? I thought you already had the attack for today.’ But still Naruto couldn’t answer. All Kyuubi got was a small ‘Ughn’, which Kyuubi translated to ‘me too’.
Then as abruptly as it came, it stopped. And Naruto lay there panting trying to gain his breathe. The faces above him were blurry, but one stood out amongst the others. ‘Sasuke’.
“I’m home again”, then he passed out.
Amongst themselves they all worried about who should take him. When he spoke up,
“I’ll take him.”
“Are you sure Sasuke? I could take him with me and Lee…” Sakura started, but she cut off when she saw he had already picked up Naruto and was carrying him bridal style out of the forest and back to the Uchiha mansion.
‘What happened to you dobe?’ Sasuke thought.
