NOVEL NEXT 5. Kyuubi [1]
Kakashi was silent for a few seconds before he sighed, looking towards the sky, he thought 'I'm sorry, Sensei, I couldn't keep the secret out of Naruto...'
''Yes.'' He replied in a simple manner, Naruto face was calm as he heard it, scarily calm.
Looking over Kakashi, the blonde boy asked ''Did he know it? My father, did he know that I would need to suffer like this? That all of this would happen?''
Kakashi stoic face sank, a sad expression appeared on his face before he said, trying to hide the sadness that was crouching in his mind ''Yes, Sensei knew that you would suffer but not to this extent, sensei's wife was against this because she was the previous Jinchuuriki of Kyuubi, however, her treatment was still much better...''
Naruto face started to change continuously, he felt anger, endless anger, however, what he felt the most was sadness and disappointment, tears started to drip down his face as he laughed ''Hahaha... I admired the Fourth Hokage even before I understood he was my father but now I know that the reason that I'm suffering is all because he chose to save the village instead of me, his own son!''
The teenager with physics-defying hair couldn't even deny it as Naruto continued ''He knew it... he knew that I would suffer, he chose to save the village knowing that the village would treat me like this, he didn't know it would be like that? His Hokage ass that he didn't know it!''
Approaching Naruto, Kakashi hugged the young boy, he started to reflect on his Sensei's actions before agreeing with Naruto, a bit of anger settling deep inside his heart, looking towards the blue-eyed boy, he said ''Don't worry, I'll be here, I won't allow them to hurt you anymore...''
''If my father knew about it, doesn't this mean Grandpa also knew?'' Naruto asked as the disappointment in his heart grew stronger, he felt that his so-called Grandpa didn't care about him as he thought he cared.
''Unfortunately, yes, Naruto.'' Kakashi said before he continued ''Let's go, we'll go to my house, tonight, you choose what you can eat!''
'I can choose?' Naruto thought confusedly, it was the first time he could choose something, but then, he said ''Ramen, I found a Ramen stand named 'Ichiraku Ramen', their food is so goooood!''
Smiling gently, Kakashi nodded as he took the blue-eyed boy's hand and walked away.
Konohagakure, Hokage's Office.
''What did you say?!'' Shouted a middle-aged man with black-colored hair, half of his face was covered by bandages, including his right eye.
Hiruzen stood in front of the man as he said with serious, determined tone ''It's exactly what I mean, Danzo. From now on, the organization Root, that you control, is disbanded, you're also removed from your duty as Konoha Council Member because you leaked a S-Rank secret to the village regarding Naruto Uzumaki status as a Jinchuuriki!''
Danzo looked coldly towards Hiruzen but stood in silence, his strength is certainly at the level of a Kage, however, his old friend strength is superior to his, Hiruzen then said ''Do you know what he had to endure because of what you did? He was tortured for 2 whole years, Danzo, he's not a normal kid, he's our village Jinchuuriki and also the son of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage!''
Not letting Danzo retort, he said ''What if he died? We would have failed not only Minato but also the entire village, Kyuubi would be free from its shackles and would certainly cause destruction to everyone!''
Even after he said that, Danzo only looked coldly towards him, Hiruzen sighed before he said ''You're way too obsessed, old friend, you can go...''
Giving one last look at Hiruzen, Danzo left.
'This won't be the end of this, Hiruzen, this certainly won't be the end of this...' He thought before disappearing in the shadows, his destination only known by himself.
Meanwhile, on Ichiraku Ramen, a white-haired teenager and a blonde boy stood there, sitting as they Ramen, looking over the owner, Kakashi said ''Teuchi-san, I'll pay for today, Naruto will be living with me from now on!''
Smiling in a kind manner, Teuchi said ''That's good, Kakashi, it has been a few years since you last came here, it is always good to have an old customer back!''
Teuchi's daughter nodded, it had been exactly three years since Kakashi last came to Ichiraku Ramen, at the side, Naruto was eating vigorously, seeing this, the white-haired teenager sighed and beforehand bid farewell to his money.
After they ate and paid, Kakashi brought Naruto to his house before he said ''We'll sleep here today, you'll have a comfortable bed to sleep from now on, I'll go to pack my things up for tomorrow...''
Naruto nodded while thinking 'A comfortable bed? I won't need to sleep in that broken, tattered bed anymore?' he was, in a way, shocked, it was the first time someone offered him to sleep in a comfortable bed, the previous 2 years, Naruto was forced to sleep in a bed that was no better than the cold, hard ground.
Suddenly, the air shifted as shadows broke inside the house, aiming towards Naruto, narrowing his eyes, Kakashi reacted in a quick manner as he defended the blue-eyed boy, looking at the three humans in front of him, he thought 'Anbu? No... that's wrong, it's the Roots!'
Kakashi knew of the Roots, it didn't take long before realizing what happened 'Danzo, you keep trying to harm Naruto over and over again!' he thought in pure, unadulterated anger, then, he revealed his left eye that shone in a bloody red-colored light.
Without hand seals, lightning gathered on Kakashi's hands as the sounds of chirping birds reverberated through the entire house, then, the white-haired teenager disappeared from his position as the three Root members looked around, suddenly, one of them cried in pain before falling lifelessly to the ground.
As if they didn't care that one of their comrades died, the remaining two Root members disappeared from their position, running towards Kakashi, they took a Kunai out, however, Kakashi dodged skillfully and in a quick, swift action, he cut the neck of one of them.
However, it was a bait as the remaining Root member slashed with his Kunai, cutting Kakashi's neck, seeing that, Naruto eyes widened in fear as tears dripped down his cheeks, the only person he cared died in front of him, he couldn't do anything.
Just as he fell unconscious due to the extreme sadness, fear and anger, Kakashi reappeared behind the last Root member and pierced his/her heart with his hands, killing the Root member instantly, then, he looked at the unconscious Naruto and sighed 'I should've appeared earlier...' he thought before picking Naruto and putting him on the warm, comfortable bed.
With one last look, he reported what happened to the Third Hokage through a letter and went back to pack his things up.
Meanwhile, Naruto was at a dark, unknown place, a place that was hidden deep inside his consciousness.
