Chapter Three

The Girl

The world was nothing more than a blur anymore. It was nothing but an incoherent mix-up of colors that couldn't be interpreted. At least that's how it was to Hyuuga Hinata. When she walked up to the form of Isaac...she saw everything and nothing. She had no idea what was true or fake...and it scared her. She had every right to believe that the person before her was Naruto...but the Naruto that she knew would never be so dangerous to anyone. She had begun crying because of this information. 'Naruto-kun...what has happened? Why...'

Her moment of peace gone, the noise of the chaotic room returned to her full force and it caused her to clench her eyes shut, but she remained standing straight. Finally she had enough and she yelled out in a soft but commanding voice. "Enough!" The noise died slowly except for Ino's sobs and all eyes turned to her. She tried to open her eyes but found that she could not...she couldn't stand to see what her crush had become...

She then heard one of the other councilmen speak. "Hyuuga-sama, what is wrong?" Hinata felt as her tears broke through her eyelids and streamed down her face. Forcing her eyes opened, she turned to where she heard the voice come from and saw that it was one of the other lesser clan heads. "You dare to ask me what is wrong?" This shocked the man as he reeled back slightly. "Hyuuga-sama..."

Standing straighter, she pointed an accusing finger at the man and spoke. "Don't speak to me! All of you curse him the minute that his name is mentioned! How dare you ask me what is wrong!" The man grew a small backbone and tried his best to stand taller than he was. "The boy is nothing but a curse upon this village, Hyuuga-SAMA! The day that boy disappeared the village has done nothing but grow evermore prosperous! I curse his name the way that he himself cursed this village! Nothing I give is anything that he did not bring on himself!"

Hinata felt a pang in her heart when she heard the man say those words. As much as she wanted to disagree...he was right. Even in her trust in her crush...the professional side of her could not be blind to what the man was saying. He was right...but...she was not willing to give up. Immediately...her backbone returned but she was calmer. "Be that as it may...he does not deserve your hostility. You cannot simply see the side effects of him while not seeing HIM. While you may be right about him...and while it is true that when he left that the markets did boom and more money was brought in...but can we really blame him for the financial state of the ENTIRE village? Tell me, Raion-san; during Naruto-kun's time in the village, did you ever once look at the mission request charts?"

The Raion clan head shook his head no and then Tsunade herself spoke up in a low voice. "They were the highest that they'd ever been after Naruto and his team came back from their mission in Nami no Kuni..." Hinata nodded and continued. "Yes they were...and Tsunade-sama...do you remember what happened as soon as news got out that Naruto had been announced dead?" The Hokage continued with her head hung and her hand on Clarke's chest. "All request for missions from Nami no Kuni, Mizu no Kuni, Tsuchi no Kuni, Tetsu no Kuni and Kaze no Kuni either lowered drastically or stopped altogether..."

His eyes widened at this and so did most of the council's at the information. Hinata just continued on. "Naruto-kun was quite possibly the reason that we got so many requests for missions. Every SINGLE mission that he was sent on got done...one way or another..." Hinata hung her head solemnly at her own words. Ino had finished her sobbing but she still felt the occasional gag every now and then as she remembered the way that Naruto would always go on about how he'd never give up...she had never thought that it would come to what it had...

Inoichi was the next person to speak his mind. "Hyuuga-san...I do realize the point that you are making...but it doesn't matter that he was able to do what he did when he was here before...that was then and this is now. From what both me and my daughter have seen...this man...Uzumaki Naruto...is a danger to himself and everyone around him. The things in his head are nothing that I've ever encountered in anyone else's mind. They are terrible...horrifying...the fact that he is able to create these scenarios...it sickens me..."

Tsunade was in tears as was Hinata...no matter what they said to try and defend him...they could not escape the fact that their respective godson and crush was broken and insane. But...in the midst of the chaos in her head, Tsunade heard a small thought ring across her mind. 'The girl...' As soon as the thought came to her head her eyes snapped open and her head shot up to look at Inoichi. "The girl! What about the girl that Kakashi's team brought in? What happened to her?"

"From what I heard, the woman is down in a cell in the T&I building. I think that they are waiting for your go-ahead on interrogating her, Hokage-sama." Tsunade wasted no time in speaking again. "Get her up here this instant! Maybe she knows something about him that we don't!" Inoichi didn't even bother arguing as he ran from the room, fearing what may happen if he even thought to slow down.

Tsunade looked down to Isaac and her eyes softened. 'Don't worry, Naruto-kun. We will have all the answers that we need to find out everything...I just hope that Inoichi and Ino were exaggerating about what they saw...'

It took about thirty minutes but finally the door was heard as it opened. Tsunade looked to it and saw Inoichi with two ANBU operatives holding the woman from the crash site. The woman looked up at Tsunade with pleading look and Tsunade could only look away as she pointed to the center of the room. The ANBU grabbed a chair and sat her in it where she had pointed before tying her wrists to the armrests and her legs to the front two of the chair.

Tsunade looked over to her with a questioning look and spoke. "What is you name?" She looked up to the Hokage with a dark glare. To emphasize her disgust with the woman, she spat on the floor in front of Tsunade. Tsunade simply stared at her. "You can make this easy or you can make this hard. With what is at stake here...I would advise you to make this easy."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Tsunade sighed and looked over to Isaac's body and the interrogated followed her gaze. Her eyes widened. "Isaac!" Tsunade's head immediately snapped to her. "What? Isaac? Who the Hell is Isaac?" The woman gestured her head towards Isaac's form and Tsunade's eyes narrowed. "You must be mistaken. His name is Uzumaki Naruto. Not Isaac."

The woman shook her head and spoke. "His name is Isaac Clarke!" Tsunade kept her eyes narrowed. "You say that I do not know the name of my own Godson? Not only that, but you have also neglected to answer the first question posed to you." Her eyes narrowed back to Tsunade. "Why the fuck should I tell you?" The Godaime could feel her anger rising at the situation. "Because at this point you have no other options!"

Suddenly...it hit her...like a ton of bricks. She was right...this woman before her...her captor. There was no other option for her...all she had left to do was cooperate and hope that she would be able to be back with Isaac. She hung her head and spoke. "My name is Ellie Langford...I'm a heavy equipment pilot for CEC..."

Tsunade's eyebrow rose slightly. "What is CEC?" Ellie sighed as she continued speaking. "The CEC is the Concordance Extraction Corporation. They are a solar mining and extraction company and are the largest in the Earth colonies." Tsunade's brow only rose further. "Solar mining? You mean like space?" Ellie nodded. "Yes. Earths resources were completely depleted due to the population and so CEC was born. They constructed Planet Cracker ships to go to other planets and harvest their natural resources."

The Hokage nodded and asked her next question. "So did you ever work closely with...humph...Isaac?" Ellie looked down. "Unfortunately we have not been able to..." Tsunade nodded again. "Do you know anything about him?" Ellie nodded. "He was the sole survivor of the USG Ishimura incident." This caught the Godaime's attention. "Incident? What happened?"

Ellie sighed. "I don't know the entire story or how it really occurred...but all of us at CEC know that the crew of the Planet Cracker vessel Ishimura found something on the surface of Aegis VII after they had their own similar incident..." Tsunade was getting impatient and slammed her fist on the metal table and putting a large dent in it. "That doesn't answer my question! What happened!"

Ellie glared at her with great distain. "If you wish to know so badly then why don't you ask him yourself?" Tsunade's anger flared and she had Ellie up by the collar of her shirt, surprising the CEC engineer. Ellie looked closer into the Hokage's eyes and saw something...a glimmer...was it the beginnings of a tear? Tsunade spoke in a low voice...low enough for only Ellie to hear. "Please...I need to know what happened. It may be the only thing that can keep you and him free..."

She looked down slightly and nodded her head. She placed her back on the ground steadily as she waited for Ellie so speak. She looked up to the Godaime and spoke. "It would be far easier to explain the incident that we faced on the Sprawl...if that is okay with you..." Tsunade nodded and Ellie continued. "Okay...about three years ago after the USG Ishimura incident, EarthGov found Isaac aboard the Ishimura. They then took him to the Titan Station which was where I was stationed by CEC. He had been in an asylum since then..."

Tsunade looked down and sighed. 'This isn't helping me...it's only reinforcing what they already want...' "But..." Tsunade looked up and saw Ellie looking directly at her. "He wasn't insane." Tsunade got a small glimmer of hope in her eyes. "Isaac was being tormented by the visions from the Marker..." The Senju looked back to her Godson with a look of pity and placed a hand on his forehead. Not taking her eyes off of him, she spoke. "So...are you saying...that those things...those things in his head...they are simply visions from something else?"

Ellie's brow rose as she saw Tsunade look back to her with hope in her eyes. "What are you talking about?" She looked to Ino and got her attention. "Can you please tell me what this thing looked like?" With tear lines down her cheeks and red eyes, Ino nodded. "It was...horrific. Its eyes were dead when it looked at me. I had no legs...just...its spine...it hung down much further than it should have. It had a mouth...that split four different ways. It...it was...eating...it was eating babies...that monster..."

Ino broke into tears once more as she buried her face once more in her knees. Ellie's eyes widened when she heard the description. "That...that was a Necromorph..." Tsunade looked to her. "A Necromorph?" She nodded and continued. "A Necromorph was a dead body that was mutated and brought back somehow by the Marker. Speaking of which...the Marker was also the cause of Isaac's Dementia."

"He has Dementia?" Ellie shook her head. "I don't think so. I think now that the Red Marker is destroyed then it should be gone since it was the cause. But I'm no psychologist so..." Inoichi spoke up next. "Well it obviously isn't gone because those things are still in his mind!" Tsunade looked to Inoichi with a look to calm down. He got the message and did as he was told. She looked back to the engineer. "If the visions are supposed to be gone...then how are these things still in his head?"

"You have our gunship, I'm guessing?" Tsunade nodded. "Then you saw the body inside of it..." The Hokage looked confused. "What does that have to do with his head?" Ellie chuckled. "You know...at first I pegged you as a smart woman." This produced a tick mark on her head and she tried to calm herself as the CEC worker spoke again. "That thing, or things like it, have been torturing and tormenting him for the last three years...he's had to be on guard every waking moment ever since the USG Ishimura. The fact that he wasn't a part of the problem and was able to keep his cool this long is surprising..."

She heard a sigh come form the woman before her and she looked her in the eye. "That's the thing...he attacked the team that we sent out to find you two..." Ellie simply groaned. "Did you not hear a word I just said? He has been on guard for so long and he has been betrayed by people he trusted. I heard the noises that you guys were making when you surrounded us but I wasn't as hardened as he was. That shot that he fired was a safety precaution that his brain had embedded into it from the situations he has been in. Unfortunately I blacked out so I don't know what happened after that. I simply woke up in a cell...alone. Do you know what that feels like?"

Tsunade shivered at how cold her tone got and tried to look away but found that she couldn't. She was locked with Ellie's eyes. She could see that every word that came form her mouth was nothing but the absolute truth. Ellie then spoke again. "But I'm sure that you don't really care about that. You claim that he is your Godson so you probably just want a testimony that he's not insane. You apparently have seen his mind, however the fuck that is possible, and now you fear that he will be placed into an asylum again, am I right?"

Tsunade had to chuckle slightly. 'This girl's got the deductive skills of a Nara! Quite impressive, I must say.' She quickly stopped her chuckle, though. "You are right...I don't want to see that happen to him..." Ellie nodded solemnly and readied herself to speak. "Well I can tell you this...if you've seen the things in his head then you need to know that they are not of his own making. They are more than likely images that have been burned into him simply because of how horrifying and grotesque they were. He is still selfless...after all...he nearly gave up his life to destroy the Marker on the Titan Station. But before that...he..." Ellie got tears in her eyes and started to cry slightly.

Tsunade's eyes widened. "What happened?" Ellie looked up to her and spoke in a shaky voice. "He...before he went to destroy it...he and I were supposed to escape...on that gunship. He tricked me into it alone. He was...he was willing to stay...stay and die...and all that he cared about...he cared about making sure that I got away safely. He didn't even care that he would die..."

"Then how did he live and get here with you?" Ellie chuckled and sniffled before speaking. "I was stubborn and went back for him even after he told me to leave. I couldn't just let him stay and die if I didn't have to..." Tsunade smiled softly at hearing this and looked back to Isaac's body. 'That's my boy, Naruto-kun. You never could let someone risk their own life could you?'

Ellie looked to Isaac as well and could only smile slightly before speaking. "He's not insane...he is just scarred. He is scarred by everything that he has been through..." Tsunade nodded. "I understand. I'm just happy that he is home now." Ellie smiled and then something struck her. "Um...what about me?" Tsunade looked to her and assessed in her head. 'If she is with him then I can't really do anything to her if I let him free.'

"You will go free with him after he is cleared from the hospital. I will put you two in the same room and I would as you to watch over him and try to get him under control. Kakashi-san said that he was yelling that it was all a vision that this Marker created and from what I saw in my office he does not believe that any of this is real." Ellie nodded as the ANBU came up and untied her and let her stand.

Tsunade looked to her and then to Isaac. She signaled the ANBU and they walked over to him. "Take him to the top level of the hospital building and have her go with you." They nodded but before they could leave, Ellie spoke up. "I will need his equipment. I'm sure that you confiscated it when you knocked him out." Tsunade looked very hesitant about it until she spoke again. "He would only freak out more if he woke up in a place he doesn't remember with nothing to defend himself with." The Hokage nodded in understanding and then thought to herself. 'With the seals on his body he shouldn't be able to move anyway.' She was about to signal the ANBU again but then someone spoke up. She looked over and saw the old war hawk himself, Shimura Danzo.

"I would advise against all actions, Hokage-sama. If what you said is true and he was very powerful with his weapons and raw power, then I would like to do some research on him. Especially that armor of his..." Ellie saw the man look to Isaac with such greed that it made her sick. She was about to speak up but was cut off by the Godaime.

"Your request is denied, Danzo-san. I..." "And the fact that he is Uzumaki Naruto, the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, only makes..." He could not finish as ANBU had him against the wall in the blink of an eye. Tsunade eyed him dangerously. "You know that that is a SSS-Class secret, Shimura-san." Danzo chuckled and Tsunade's eyebrow rose. "What's so funny?"

"The law of the Sandaime became null and void when the boy disappeared from the village. I can say whatever I want because until this man confirms it he is still this...Isaac Clarke." Tsunade growled at the man and snapped her fingers to signal the ANBU to let him go. His feet hit the floor with a small tap and his face held a smirk. Before he could continue his speech, though, Tsunade spoke up. "You will not get him for your research and you will not get any of his equipment. If he confirms that he is in fact Uzumaki Naruto, then he is a Shinobi of this village and he is entitled to anything that he himself possesses. Until that is confirmed, then he is under both names. To take from a fellow Shinobi, especially when considering just who he is, would mean violating the privacy of a clan. That goes against the CPA and I will not allow you to do that."

Danzo scowled at this and turned to leave the room. The rest of the greater clan heads simply chuckled at this and looked to the body of Isaac Clarke. Most of them knew that if he was truly Uzumaki Naruto, then he would be entitled to far more than just a position as a Shinobi. Tsunade looked to an ANBU with a cat mask. "Neko, go retrieve Clarke-san's belt from my office and meet Saru at the hospital."

Neko nodded. "Yes, Hokage-sama." She then disappeared into a swirl of leaves, surprising Ellie slightly. Tsunade then turned to the other ANBU and handed him a paper which he pocketed. "Saru, you will escort them to the hospital now. Hand Sakura-san that paper and she will lead you to the room." The man with the monkey mask nodded quietly and motioned for Ellie to follow while he pulled the table carrying Isaac behind him. Tsunade could only hope that she was right about who he was...

...

Ellie followed the ANBU operative through the streets as they made their way to the hospital. Everywhere she looked, eyes were on them. She noticed that they were actually more focused on Isaac than they were on her or Saru. She also noticed how much more peaceful it was here than it was on the Sprawl. 'It's so primitive yet it's so...peaceful. It makes me wonder if this is what Earth was like before EarthGov decided to start Planet Cracking.'

The walk continued until they came to a large building. It had a white coat of paint and it was lined around the outside with flowers. Ellie had to admit that it looked nothing like the hospitals on the Sprawl. The ones on Titan Station were cold and cruel even before the Necromorph outbreak while this one was warm and welcoming. She continued to follow Saru in as he walked up to the receptionist's desk. She had pink hair and it was down to her shoulders. The woman wore a red shirt with a light yellow shirt under it and a navy-colored skirt. She looked up and Ellie saw her Emerald Green eyes as she took the paper from Saru. She read it over and looked up before nodding to him. She filed away whatever she was doing and motioned for them to follow her as she led them away. As she walked, Ellie saw that she was wearing black boots that came up to just below her knees.

They walked until they came to an elevator. 'So they are primitive to a point.' Getting in and positioning herself on the right side of Isaac, she waited out the silent ride to the top. Ellie looked at Isaac and saw something that confused her. It was some sort of writing over his armor and it gave off some sort of energy. She raised an eyebrow at this but decided to wait and ask the woman who had interrogated her just what they were.

They got to the top floor and the door opened to a long line of windows that looked out over the village. She had to admit that the view was rather nice. As they walked down the hallway, they came to a door at the end and found Neko standing there with Isaac's work belt. It had all of his nodes on it and seemed to be intact. Ellie smiled as she took it from her and they went into the room.

It was far nicer than the rooms aboard the Sprawl. Actually, on the Sprawl it was all simply a line of beds in a long room. There was no privacy in that Med-bay. When the door was closed and Neko and the receptionist had left, Saru carefully undid the clasps on the bindings and lifted him onto the hospital bed where it was more comfortable. He then looked back to Ellie and she nodded that it was okay to leave. He nodded and then spoke in a gruff voice. "I'll be outside incase you need anything."

Ellie smiled and nodded as he left and closed the door. She then walked over to Isaac and looked at his face. She chuckled when she saw that all of the muscles in his face were tightened. 'Even in his sleep he is so alert...I wonder just what they did to put him out.' She carefully laid herself down beside him and put a hand on his armored chest while her head rested on his shoulder. 'Oh Isaac...please be okay...'

She closed her eyes and tried her best to sleep, but found that since she had only woken up little over an hour ago that she could not sleep. She opened her eyes and looked back to Isaac's face. She had chosen the side of him that gave her a clear view of the eye that was scarred up. It still confused her. 'How in the hell did that thing heal so damn fast? That should be impossible! It is impossible...'

She tried to go to sleep but no matter how much she tried, she couldn't. She sighed and simply let her eyes close, hoping that by some chance, she would fall asleep...

...

It had calmed down slightly within the hallways...it wasn't as loud and the roars were nonexistent. He continued to walk as the architecture began to fade into something else...something archaic. It soon began to resemble a sewer of some sorts. Isaac watched as images began to flash on the wall...images of someone...someone that looked strangely like him...only younger.

As he walked he saw more and more images of this boy...this hyperactive and bubbly boy. 'What the hell...who the hell is this? What the fuck is going on?' He kept walking as he waded into water that came up to his knees. "Where the hell am I?" His voice echoed off of the walls and the pipes that snaked over the ceiling. Inside of them was a mixture of something. It glowed blue and every now and then it would pulse and turn blood red.

He continued to walk as the hallways began to widen and the pipes all began to converge. What little light there was disappeared and it would only light up to red whenever the pipes above pulsed. As they pulsed and the way widened...Isaac was able to see metal bars in front of him. They were four times as tall as him and they were spread over the entire width of the hallway. In the center of the bars and up to the height of Isaac's chest was a white piece of paper that had some sort of Kanji on it. 'Maybe it would've been good if I had listened to my mom about those lessons in symbols...'

"It is a seal." A dark voice spoke out and it echoed in the way. It made Isaac automatically go on the defensive and he pulled up his Contact Beam, pointing it at the cage door. "What? Did I scare you? Hm...after all you've been through you are scared of a voice, huh?" Isaac growled at the jab and yelled out in response. "Shut The Fuck Up! Now where the hell am I?"

The demonic voice grumbled before speaking. "You are inside your own mind, child." This made Isaac growl even more as he readied his trigger finger. "What the fuck are you talking about? I'm forty-three God damn it!" "Maybe within that other dimension you were forty-three. In this world you are only eighteen."

Isaac raised an eyebrow as he lowered his gun slightly. "What do you mean? What dimension? I thought..." "Well you thought wrong, ningen. There are twenty-five different dimensions in which people reside." Isaac was dumbfounded but was but back on guard as he remembered what had happened when he trusted someone. "That's a lie! It has to be!"

"What would I gain from lying to you? You're nothing I need to be afraid of. You're nothing that could even dream of hurting me. At least not in your current state, anyway." Isaac let his guard fall again slightly as he lowered his gun once more to face the barrel towards the water. "My current state?" The voice grunted again. "Yes. At your current age you couldn't possibly do what it is that you used to do. I would have to use my healing chakra to rebuild all of your dead cells and I would have to give up most of my power to reconstruct your bones to their true age. Damn...I'd be surprised if I even had three tails worth of my power when I'm finished here..."

Isaac was beyond confused and he put away his Contact Beam. "Wait just a minute...what the fuck are you talking about? Reconstructing by bones? Healing my cells? What you're saying you'll do most doctors would kill for! Just who the fuck are you that you can sit there and say that you can do these things? You think you're fucking God or something?"

The voice chuckled very evilly until it spoke again. "I am not God, child. I am nothing even close to him." "Then just who are you?" It chuckled again. "That question has a simply enough answer. I am the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the bringer of earthquakes and the harbinger of the tsunami! But...I have a far more difficult question for you, child...' Isaac waited and listened closely for the entities question.

"Just who are you?"
