Before Naruto knew what was going on, he found himself in Shibuki's office with smoke around him. He quickly wiped away and moved away from them. "That felt weird," Naruto said looking at them.

"Yeah, the first few times feel strange, but you get used to it," Gorou said looking at Naruto.

"So what's so important that I had to leave Fū?" Naruto asked looking at the two men in front of him.

"Yes, I am also a little curious as to what is going on," Shibuki said, suddenly making his presence known to them. When they heard this Kakashi turned towards Gorou.

"Care to explain?" Kakashi asked looking at him.

"No thanks I'm way to sober for this headache," Gorou said looking at the male in front of him. Hearing this Kakashi let out a sigh. In all honesty he was hoping to leave before he had Naruto asking questions, but at this point, it seemed like it was unavoidable.

"Well, six years ago we had a boy in our village who was treated horribly. Every day he lived with the villagers and even some of the ninja trying to attack him. He was usually able to outrun them, but then there were other times that he wasn't. On the few rare occasions that he was caught, they would beat him in ways that might even put some of the members in our torture department to shame. There was actually one time I found the young boy in a pile of barbed wire," Kakashi said looking at the second youngest male in the room.

Naruto shivered at the memory. He knew that he was talking about him, how could he not? After all, he had never heard of anyone else being treated as badly as him and if there was someone else like that, then he was sure that they would have met at one point or another. When he thought about the memory, it made him a bit sad. That particular event actually happened on his birthday, and unknown to several others who probably didn't care, he was actually in that pile of barbed wire for three days.

"I see, please continue," Shibuki said taking a mental note of Naruto's facial expression. He already had an idea of who this boy was, but he didn't want to say anything, just hoping that he was wrong about who he thought it was. After all, they were attacked today, so maybe it was possible that it was one of them and not Naruto.

"Well, one day he just left the village. Not many people were sad to see him leave; in fact just a handful of people were actually sad to hear that he had left. To be honest, the ones that weren't sad actually went as far as to celebrate his disappearance. They celebrated for an entire week, everything was free and what wasn't free, was very cheap," Kakashi said as he let his eye drift over to Naruto.

Shibuki tensed up when he saw this. It only made him think he was more right about who this child was. "I see, so what happened to him?" Shibuki asked looking at the male in front of him.

"Well four years ago . . . when he was eight. . . I guess he just had enough of being everyone's punching bag and left the village. Although in all fairness, I can't say I really blame him. Most of the village celebrated his leave of absence. They gave food and candy away for free, and some of the most expensive things in the village were all being given away. However, for every hundred that were happy, there was one sad for his disappearance," Kakashi said looking at the two in front of him.

"Why was he treated so badly?" Shibuki asked looking at Kakashi. He had his own guess at what the reason was, after all, it was a little strange that just one boy in the entire village of Konoha was treated badly. The only person he knew like that in all of Taki whom was treated like that, was Fū, and the only reason she was treated that way was because she was a Jinchūriki.

"Well, he was treated this way because he was a Jinchūriki. Of course, you're both wondering which Bijuu was sealed inside of him. Am I right?" Kakashi asked looking at Shibuki earning him a nod. He didn't receive a response from Gorou. After all, he had explained everything on the way to the village so he already knew everything.

After a few moments of silence, Kakashi finally worked up the nerve to speak. He usually wouldn't have any problem saying this but the fact that Naruto was still in the room was making it rather difficult for him. "It was actually the very Bijuu that had attacked Konohagakure twelve years ago. The Bijuu sealed inside of him is the Kyuubi no Kitsune," Kakashi said, looking at the two in front of him.

Naruto's eyes widened, although Kakashi couldn't see this because the young blonde was still standing behind him. He knew he was a Jinchūriki, but to hear that he had the creature that had attacked Konohagakure so many years ago was sealed inside of him was a shock. 'It's no wonder they all hated me,' Naruto thought to himself rather sadly. 'If it was just a regular Bijuu, I could have maybe changed their minds about me but . . . the Kyuubi no Kitsune . . . they would have never given me a chance. It'd take nothing less than me saving the entire village for me to earn their trust,' Naruto thought to himself as he looked down at his stomach. 'I guess me and Fū have more in common than I originally thought,' Naruto thought as he placed his hand on his stomach.

"I see, so is this the one? The one who attacked you?" Shibuki asked looking at Kakashi. He was almost certain at this point that it was Naruto he had been talking about, but still it never hurt to be hopeful. The main reason why that Shibuki didn't want it to be Naruto, was because he didn't want Naruto to be taken back to that village. He didn't want Naruto to be taken to a place where he was treated like garbage.

"No this one is far too old and doesn't even look like the boy that had left the village," Kakashi said looking at him.

"I see, so do you know where he is now?" Shibuki asked looking at Kakashi.

"He's legally dead. However, I've thought differently for a long time. I believe that he is alive," Kakashi said looking at Shibuki.

"I see . . ." Shibuki then sighed. He was already regretting what he was about to ask, but he had to know. He had to be 100% sure that it was Naruto before he did anything else. "So what was this boy's name?" Shibuki asked looking at Kakashi.

"His name is Naruto Uzumaki," Kakashi said looking at the male in front of him. As soon as he said this, a silence filled the room.

"So what do you plan on doing?" Shibuki asked, looking at Kakashi.

"About what?" Kakashi asked, looking at the male sitting in the chair.

"About Naruto?" Shibuki asked again, looking at Kakashi. He tried to hide his sadness the best he could but some of it still slipped into his voice. 'I don't want him to leave, then again there may be nothing I can do to stop it. I can hold it off perhaps, but as for actually stopping it, I don't think that's possible. I don't want Naruto to leave, he's the only one who's ever treated Fū like an actual person before and from the way it sounds, she may be the only person who's ever treated him like that as well,' Shibuki thought to himself.

Naruto tensed up at this question, after all if there was one place he didn't want to come back to, it was Konoha. They were happy when they thought he had just left the village anyway. He can only imagine how happy they were when they thought he had died. Not only that, but he can only imagine how upset they'd be to find out that he had not only lived, but was now also returning.

"Weren't you listening?" Kakashi asked looking at Shibuki. He then leaned forward and talked with a different tone. "Naruto Uzumaki is legally dead. This Naruto which I have been told was an orphan has no last name," Kakashi said looking at Shibuki. The younger male internally smiled at this and looked at Gorou, who returned his smile.

He was happy that Naruto got to stay in the village and he was also a little happy that he told Kakashi that lie a week ago. Because of that simple partial lie, Naruto was able to stay in the village. However, even as happy as Shibuki was that Naruto was getting to stay in the village, he just had to know something else. "What about our Naruto? He doesn't look similar to your Naruto in the least?" Shibuki asked looking at him.

"Sure your Naruto and our Naruto might have a few similarities, but who wants to think about a kid that they didn't like that died a few years ago? It's kind of a depressing topic and one that I'd rather not bring up," Kakashi said as he got up from his chair.

"I see . . . Thank you," Shibuki said looking at the silver haired male as he walked out of the building.

"Sure thing and even if Naruto was alive, I'd never want to bring him back to a place like Konoha. I'd just ask him a few questions. For example, how he's been and make sure that he's had a good life. I wouldn't want to take something like that away from him," Kakashi said looking at Shibuki. He then looked over at the blonde that had been quiet and gave him a small wink.

This made Naruto smile because that meant that Kakashi did know who he was, but he wasn't planning to tell the Hokage where he was.

"Naruto, there's also something else I'd like to talk to you about," Gorou said as he placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder. When he did, Naruto and Gorou disappeared in a puff of smoke leaving a confused Shibuki behind.

When Naruto reappeared, he once again found himself in a familiar location. "Ugh stop doing that, it feels weird!" Naruto said trying to get the tingling feeling to leave his body.

"Sorry. Now onto the topic. I believe it's best if we approached this the way I was approached about it," Gorou said looking at Naruto.

"Which is?" Naruto asked looking at the man in front of him completely confused about what was going on.

Gorou sat down when the blonde asked this and pulled a bottle of sake out from his jacket. "Naruto we need to approach the fact that you killed someone," Gorou said looking at Naruto. When he said this, Naruto was a little confused until he remembered that when he had that sudden boost of power, he had killed someone.

Naruto suddenly felt sick to his stomach and fought the urge to vomit. Gorou saw that he was fighting a losing battle and kicked a small trash can over to him. When Naruto saw it he leaned over and vomited a large amount of liquid from his mouth. "Don't worry kid, I had the same reaction," Gorou said looking at him.

'I killed someone, I killed someone, I killed someone, WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!? I-I took from him what no one has the right to take. I took his life!' Naruto thought to himself as he looked into the trash can that he still had his head over. After a few moments of silence passed, Gorou finally decided to speak up.

"Now, kid I'm sure you're thinking that you're a horrible person or something along those lines and I know this because we all have the same reaction. We all feel guilt the first time we take someone's life. Naruto look at me," Gorou said looking at the male. When he said this Naruto looked up at the male, his body shaking slightly.

"It's alright. It's not very often that people refer to the old saying "that only the strong survive", but in our world, the world of shinobi, that is usually how it ends up. The strong win and the weak are left to die. It's not a pretty thing but I want you to know that this doesn't make you a bad person. You had every right to take his life," Gorou said looking at him.

Naruto looked at him surprised when he said this. "NO! YOU'RE WRONG! NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE ANYONE'S LIFE AWAY FROM ANYONE! HE COULD HAVE HAD A FAMILY FOR ALL WE KNOW! WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO THINK ABOUT THIS?! I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GROW UP WITHOUT A FATHER, BUT I DON'T WANT TO PUT SOMEONE ELSE THROUGH THAT!" Naruto said looking at Gorou.

"Then what of Fū?" Gorou asked looking at the blonde. Naruto froze when heard this and he looked like he was going to say something, however Gorou beat him to it. "If no one has the right to take a life, then why is it that he attacked Fū to kill? Naruto she's important to you and sometimes you have to protect what's important to you even if it means doing things that you don't agree with. I should know. I didn't and lost a brother because of it," Gorou said looking at Naruto.

"What do you mean?" The blonde asked looking at Gorou.

"That's not important right now. Naruto, if you hadn't killed him he would have gone on to kill you, me, and everyone else there. Now answer this question for me. Do you think he would have felt bad about it? The answer is no, he wouldn't have. Is his life really worth all of ours?" Gorou asked looking at him. Naruto froze when he heard this and looked at him.

He was silent for several moments before he finally spoke up. "No, no it's not," Naruto said looking down at the ground.

"Exactly he's not worth it. I share your opinion on things like this. Killing someone is a bad thing and it should be avoided if possible. I'm sad to say that in this situation it wasn't possible and that he needed to die. Naruto you did the right thing never question that. You're still a good person and if you ever question that just ask yourself this. Which is worse: killing him? . . . Or losing Fū?" Gorou said looking at Naruto.

Naruto once again froze at this and just remained quiet for a moment. Gorou was about to say something until the door opened. When it did the two looked over and saw a familiar silver haired male walk into the room. "What are you doing here Kakashi?" Gorou asked looking at him.

"I came here to give something to Naruto. It's kind of private so if I'm interrupting something, I can come back at a later time," Kakashi said looking at him.

"No. I was just about to leave," Gorou said as he got up. When he did he looked down at Naruto. "Just remember what I said," Gorou said as he walked out of the building. When he did, Kakashi walked over to the couch and took a seat.

"What's wrong Naruto? You don't look so well," Kakashi said looking at him.

"I . . . I just killed someone," Was all Naruto could say. What Gorou had said helped him but he still wasn't over the fact yet. Kakashi understood what he meant almost immediately.

"Well, it doesn't make you a bad person. If anything, it actually makes you a hero. Every great shinobi in history has had to kill someone at one point or another. Plus, think of it as like an eye for an eye. You thought he killed Fū, so you were going to make things even and take his life. If nothing else, I want you to try to think of it this way: you weren't yourself when that happened to you. Remember, you were under the influence of the Kyuubi when that happened," Kakashi said looking at the blonde in front of him.

'So that's what that was,' Naruto thought to himself as he looked up at the silver haired male on his couch. "So why did you come here?" Naruto asked looking at him.

"Well I actually have something I want to give you," Kakashi said as he pulled up his sleeve to reveal a seal on the upper part of his forearm. He pulled out a small needle and poked himself with it and swiped some of his blood over the seal. When he did, a scroll appeared and he held it out to Naruto. The blonde took it and looked at it a little confused.

"What's this?" Naruto asked looking at Kakashi.

"Well, Konoha was supposed to give you that on your 18th birthday. They won't be able to do that now and I made a promise to someone that if I ever ran into you that I'd give it to you. I was hoping that would be a little closer to when you were eighteen and not when you were twelve, but this might be the only chance that I have to give it to you," Kakashi said looking at him. When he said this he stood up and looked at him. "I was told it was a private matter, so I'll leave you alone," Kakashi said. Looking at him, the elder male then got up and left the room.

Naruto got up when he left and went into the kitchen. That was the only room with a table after all and there was no way of knowing for sure just how much was on the scroll. Naruto opened it and his eyes scanned over what it was when he realized just what it was. He tensed up slightly. It was a note from his parents. He was afraid of what he might see. After all, during his entire life, he had been told that no one ever loved him and that his parents abandoned him because he was a freak of nature. However his curiosity finally got the better of him and he began to read what was on the paper.

Dear Naruto,

Naruto, if I'm still alive and something has happened to your mother then please skip this part. If you're reading this then something has happened to me and I have most likely died. Your mother and I have both prepared a note for you. At the moment, you haven't been born and your mother is currently seven months pregnant with you. I hoped that you'd never have to see this but I guess it can't be helped. Well, first things first. My name is Minato Namikaze. Guess you didn't realize you had a famous dad huh? Well, I'm sorry that I left sooner than I was supposed to. I really looked forward to seeing the man that you have become. Naruto please know that no matter what anyone says I do love you and have loved you from the moment that your mother first told me she was pregnant with you. There're so many things I want to say but more than anything I want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not being able to be there for you when you needed me and I'm sorry that I never got to teach you the things that you have every right to know. I'm so sorry for not being able to do things that I always pictured doing with you. Like taking you fishing, teaching you how to fight, and what you should do to make others happy. I'm so sorry. I hope you know that it wasn't my choice to leave and that if I could have changed things so that I'm there with you, I would. I'm not asking for you to forgive me I'm just asking you to understand my reasoning. I hope you've had a good life with your mother and pray that nothing went wrong when she was giving birth and that she's still there with you. I guess I can't really call myself your father but just know that no matter what you do in life, I'll always be proud of you. I hope that you have a good life and just in case, I left a gift for you after your mother's message, although hopefully you won't have to read that.

Love your father, Minato Namikaze

Dear Naruto,

I hope that you're doing well. To be honest I don't think I made it past birth. There was a very high chance that I would die. Although if I did survive that and died later I once again apologize. I hope you're doing well and I would have loved to have seen the young man that you grew up to be. With your father's brain and my strength, I would imagine. Although if you didn't get either of those things, I'd still love you all the same. I want you to know that I looked forward to doing so many things with you. I wanted to be your mother so badly that I've pictured myself doing things for you all the time. I've imagined myself tying your shoes, reading you bedtime stories, and kissing you on the cheek. I'm so sorry that I couldn't do any of those things and there's one thing I want you to know. No matter what happens or what you hear I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and that I didn't leave you because I didn't love you. In fact, I probably left because I loved you. I guess it's meaningless to tell you all of this now but I'd like to give you a few words of advice. Please take care of yourself, wait until you're of proper age to drink, please don't take any of Jiraiya's dating advice and if you find a girl that you love, please tell her how you feel. I'm sure you've grown up to become a great man and a fine example of what everyone should strive to be. I know it means nothing now but please just know that Minato and I have always loved you. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there for you when you needed me, but just know that I would change things if I could have them any other way. I know I must have said this more than enough times already but, I love you Naruto. Please take care of yourself and try to do right by others.

Love your mother, Kushina Uzumaki

Naruto felt his body shake when he read this. He felt tears build up in his eyes after reading this. When he was in Konoha he had been told that his parents had abandoned him because they didn't love him. However after this, he knew that it was all a lie and that they did love him. His tears were both a mixture of sadness and happiness as they fell down his eyes.

He smiled as he read the note over again. He just couldn't believe it they really did love him and they really hadn't abandoned him. They had just died because of something that was beyond their control. He was about to read lower and see what his dad had left him but he decided not to after reading a certain part of his mother's message to him.

'If you find a girl that you love please tell her how you feel.' As soon as he read that part he rolled up the scroll and left the house. When he did, he immediately started to head towards the hospital. When he got there he sighed and walked into the building. As he entered, he walked up to the girl at the front desk.

When he did, she looked at him in disgust. She knew who he was. It was hard not to. Who didn't know who the demon lover was? Naruto was about to ask her what room she was in, but before he could, she answered for him wanting him to leave as fast as possible. "Room 345 on the 4th floor," She said looking at him.

Naruto nodded his thanks and started to walk up the steps. When he did Naruto started to walk faster up the stairs. There were fewer people that way plus with his training as a shinobi it wasn't really too difficult. When he reached the 4th floor he started down the halls and looked for Fū's room on the far end of the hall. He found it and walked in to find that Fū was already awake.

She smiled when she saw him and Naruto returned her smile. Naruto sat down in the chair beside her and looked at her. "I'm glad that you're okay," Fū said looking at Naruto. The blonde smiled when he heard this and looked at her.

"I'm glad you're okay too," Naruto said looking at her. Fū smiled hearing this, however she then heard something that she knew she would hear. "So what did they say? Are you okay?" Naruto asked looking at her.

"Yeah, they said I lost a lot of blood. They could've given me a blood transplant, but they didn't want to waste blood on a demon like me. So they're just going to wait for my blood to naturally replenish," Fū said looking at Naruto.

"Okay, so how long is that going to take?" Naruto asked looking at Fū.

"They said for a regular human, it could take months or even years for their blood to get back up to a stable level, but seeing as how I'm special, it'll be a few days for me," Fū said looking at Naruto. The blonde smiled at this and leaned over kissing Fū on the cheek. When he did, he pulled away as red as Fū was.

"W-What was th-that for?" Fū asked a bit flustered at his sudden action.

"I'm just . . . really happy to see you," Naruto said looking at her. When he said this he sat down in the chair beside Fū and placed his hand on top of hers. Fū wasn't as flustered by this action as she was the other. After all, they held hands all the time. They had even held hands when they were on the mission that they had just come from so this wasn't really a surprise to her.

"Fū," Naruto said gaining the green haired female's attention. Fū looked at the blonde who turned as red as a certain Hyuuga female would. She was going to ask what was wrong with him, but before she could, he said something that forced her to become the same shade of red. "I . . . I love you too," Fū looked at him and the two found themselves moving towards each other.

Their lips then met each other in a sweet and passionate kiss. The two didn't really know what they were doing, but seeing as how it was their first kiss it didn't really matter. Because to each of them, it was the best thing in the world. When the two of them pulled away Fū smiled and even though it hurt her just a bit, she reached over and hugged the blonde in front of her.

Naruto tensed up for a second before he smiled and wrapped his arms around her. The two stayed like that for the longest time just holding each other. It was a nice feeling for the two of them. It put the two of them at ease and made them relax. When the two finally did separate they continued to hold hands neither one of them saying anything they just stayed there enjoying each others company.
