Hello hello! I'm back again! You all probably forgot about my story by now but ah well. :p I don't really get why I didn't update up until now. New school and stuff (Something like college. At least.. I think that that's what you call it.. Ah well whatever.)

If you did read my story before then read the last ½ chapters again./ I had to read the last to chapters again to remember where I was.. XD And it was my own story. But ah well let's begin!

"Kyuubi talking."

Chapter 12: Getting scolded.

All the jounin who knew Naruto back then and his friends (the genin) were now sitting in the thirds office. They were hoping that the third could explain the video a bit. And most important. (For the jounin then.) Why Naruto had left and why they had been told he was dead.

# #

The third had sighed when the ninja came in with a so called video from Naruto. He knew that this would happen someday..but still. And he 'just like them' wasn't looking forward to.. well you know.. watching Naruto get hurt.

"...So...how does this work..?" Asuma said looking at the video in his hand. He turned it around, looked at it and...gave up. Kakashi sighed and took it from his hands. He looked at it carefully and sweatdropped when he saw that there was a piece of paper sticking out of it. Lay it down on the ground and tick on it. That's what the paper said. Kakashi did what the paper said and stepped back.

And there it was. A video screen in the air. Well sort of. They could see what happened (Not a real tv or in 3D or anything) and that was more than enough. Everyone had their eyes on the screen. And the story..started..

# #

Konoha, trees and people. That's what they saw. It seemed like a normal day. The sun was shining and the birds were..wait..there was no sound. Why..?

The video showed one of Konoha's streets. It was one of the streets near the old apartments. Not many people lived there. Naruto was one of the people who lived there for example.

It was quiet. And not because there was no sound. There was just no one in sight. It looked kind of..lifeless.. Just when they were thinking that a little boy showed up. A little boy with..blond hair..whisker marks..terrified blue eyes and the worst of all..no smile. It shocked the jounin the most. Naruto or should I say Naru-chan had always been happy. Big bright and happy blue eyes and the biggest smile in the whole world. But that wasn't what they were seeing right now. They wanted to stand up and run, run and help their little Naru-chan. But..they couldn't..it was the past after all.. It killed them. It killed them from the inside. The genin were shocked as well of course. He looked really scared or rather terrified so they of course wanted to help (I wrote: They wanted to scare their friend. XD oeps :p) their friend. But that wasn't the thing they were most surprised about. His eyes. His bright blue eyes. His bright blue terrified eyes were the most shocking. They had never seen his eyes before after all. This was shocking enough already. And it was only his face. They still had to see the rest after all.

The next thing they saw was an angry man...were two angry m...were three angr...were five a... Ah screw it! A lot of angry man! The jounin could guess why they were angry, the genin couldn't.

The next thing that followed was little Naruto falling over his own legs and the group of man punching and kicking the young child. It was horrible. They were kind of glad it didn't have any sound. This alone...was after all...bad enough... No wonder it didn´t have sound. It continued for a while. Some of the jounin and genin were crying, others were shaking from disgust and anger. And when one of the men took a knife out of his pocket and grinned evilly...they...just couldn't stand it anymore. Someone turned the video of and they all stood or sat there in silence. Some eyes like the eyes of Kakashi, Asuma and Shikamaru were full of anger. Other eyes were having some water troubles. And others looked sad.

After everyone had calmed down Asuma spoke up: "..Dad..can you explain..please.." The last word came out sounding so sad that the third was almost shocked. "..Of course.." the third said sounding sad as well.

The third told them about Naruto being a jinchuuriki and the angry villagers who didn´t except him. The jounin knew this already but the genin didn´t. That explained why those men were angry. Not that they excepted that excuse.

He told them that it went very very very wrong one time and that Naruto was left blind or rather eyeless. Naruto had come running to his office a few weeks later. The third told them he had been searching for him since Naruto was nowhere to be found. There had happened a lot. Everyone had been really worried about Naruto since they couldn´t find him anywhere. They had assumed the worst and that was..death..

Kakashi remembered that alright. It was horrible. The sweet little Naru-chan they had always been so protective of had gone missing and he had been missing ever since. They had always been very protective of Naruto when he was little. The jounin had been his bodyguard and had always played with him. They cared a lot about him. So it was horrible when they heard he had gone missing and probably died.

"Wait those are two different stories! He had gone missing and no one had found him ever since so he was declared dead! So how come he came to your office after a view weeks?! Why were we told he was dead?! Why..WHY DID YOU SAY HE WAS DEAD WHILE HE WAS ACTUALLY STILL ALIVE?!" Asuma shouted feeling like he could break any minute now. He wasn´t the only one feeling that way. All the jounin looked angry, shocked and...broken..

The third sighed he looked broken and sad just like the jounin: "...He begged me... He begged me not to tell anyone... He didn´t want anyone to know. He didn´t want anyone to see him like this. He hated it... He told me to tell everyone that he had gone missing. After that he left to train with Kyuubi. He told me that he would send letters. At least..he would send a letter when he came back. It would be 6 years, his training I mean. He said he would come back after that.

When he was gone the council... declared him dead before I could do anything about it. Of course I wanted to tell everybody that he was still alive. But I had made a promise after all. I had promised to never ever tell anybody. At least not until he came back. I wanted to tell everyone so badly but..I had failed him once already so I wasn´t going to break our promise to. I wasn´t going to break our promise after I failed to protect him.

He couldn´t find his way around the village or the forest when he was blind like that so I brought him to a point where he was save from the villagers and where he could find the way himself with the help of Kyuubi. What saddened me the most was that he believed you wouldn´t care anyway. He said that you all would forget about him in time and that he just had to leave the village for a while. Stay away until you´d all forgotten about him. I tried to tell him that you all did care and that you all wouldn´t forget about him, but he didn´t listen and left without leaving a trace behind. I would've stopped him but.. I couldn´t.. not after what had happened in the village. His dream of becoming a ninja would be over and the angry villagers wouldn´t stop either. I didn´t want to risk him being unhappy.." (Almost everything starts with: He... Sorry about that :p)

It was quiet until Kakashi said: "That idiot! Of course we care about him! Of course we wouldn´t forget about him." He left the tower afterwards with all the jounin behind him. They strangely found him within a few minutes. "Idiot! Of course we care about you! Of course we wouldn´t forget about you! What were you thinking worrying us like that!" They all said. Naruto looked shocked and surprised. Even if you could only see half his face, you could still see it easily. Kakashi hugged him not letting go so easily and Asuma ruffled his hair also not stopping so easily. The others smiled looking really happy. "..Idiot..worrying us like that.." Kakashi mumbled with a small but happy smile on his face. (Still hugging him.)

"Sorry... Sorry for leaving... Sorry for worrying you... Sorry...for everything..!" Naruto said hugging Kakashi back with a small smile on his face. They all laughed and smiled happily. The genin and the third left their hiding spot without making a sound and without being noticed by the jounin. They too had a small smile on their faces and left to go home.

"Welcome back, Naru-chan!"

The end.

DONE! No waiting anymore! A bit short though.. Sorry about that :p And again sorry for the long wait. If I forgot things or if something isn´t right... imagine it! Imagine it the right way! :p

I have another story about the prince of tennis. Check it out if you like. (Echizen surviving in the woods!) You can probably tell what´s it about by just reading the title. :p (It´s a finished story by the way so no waiting. :p)

I´m also busy with another story. It got deleted a while ago because... I don´t remember why though.. It´s a story about Naruto. He´s a wildchild. (A child that lives in the forest.) He´s found by Kakashi, Asuma and Gai and brought back to the village. There aren´t many wildchild stories by the way. :( I couldn´t find more then 1 or 2 or something. Well anyway I´ll be posting that one in..well who knows when. We´ll see.

Found the name of the wildchild story (I doesn't exist yet sorry. I'll uplode it as soon as possible.) : The apple shooting wild child

See you guys in the next story!

Bye!
