Working Things Out
By: AvalonNakamura
A/n: Hey guys I know I have a ton of other stories you would prefer to see updated before having a new fic show up. But This one stuck in my brain. I have recently been playing a free game called Katawa Shoujo and cause of it. I began to wonder. How would the Shinobi world face things like disabilities and problems. Now I tell you this. I am disabled myself. I suffer a major heart condition and seizures. So I am not insulting or picking on anyone with disabilities. So if you don't like it I seriously don't give a shit. Anyway. Enjoy and read and review.
The pain was unbearable for the young man as his crystalline blue eyes locked angerly at the black haired man. The crimson eyes of the man stared back with a stoic gaze that didn't seem to fit on the blood soaked man.
"Itachi! What the hell are you doing? THIS ISN'T YOU!"
The blonde screamed at the thin man who seemed to be staring through him as he observed the blonde. A sickeningly sweet smile crossed the face of Uchiha Itachi as he former ANBU partner shouted towards him. He had finished killing the clan finally having ended his mother's and father's death last. And Itachi remembered the fear in his little sisters eyes. He didn't enjoy hearing her scream in fear and terror as he made her live through the massacre he just did. But now he was staring down the man who he considered a friend and even family.
"It is me...Naruto-kun...This is all to test my capacity. To test my true worth. And you...my...friend. You will make fine final test.."
As those words left the soft spoken man he pulled the ANBU sword from his back and prepared to launch himself towards the blonde, He knew he couldn't give Naruto much chance to strike back. In the entire ANBU squad it was Naruto and Itachi who were some of the most dangerous. As he pulled the blade Naruto drew his Kunai and prepared to clash with Uchiha Heir. He gritted his teeth as Itachi launched towards him and brought the kunai up the loud metallic clang between the two weapons echoed in the blood soaked streets as they pressed the weapons hard against one another.
"Test! What the hell are you talking about Itachi! You and I! We were partners! We fought together! We defended this village! Tell me why your doing this!"
Itachi simply smirked as he kept his crimson optics focused on his now former partner. The rage that seemed to exude from the blonde was amazing. He could be the one that she could use. The one that Sasuke could use to push forward with.
"I told you...Naruto-kun. This was a test of my own vessel. Of how far I can go..."
With that He spun and kicked Naruto straight in the chest sending the blonde skidding backwards his back smashing against one of the burning buildings sending a searing pain on his back from the heat. Naruto stood and gritted his teeth. He soon started to rush towards Itachi his hands moving into a set of seals but before he could finish he was stunned as Itachi's eye seemed to shift.
"Sorry, Naruto-kun...But I do not have time to play...We will see just how well you get on...This Jutsu...is the one thing that you will never account for. The one thing even you in all your unpredictability in our spars will be able to deal with. Magenkyo Sharingan!"
As he uttered those words Naruto skidded to a halt. He felt the chakra in the area change as Itachi's Sharingan morphed from the three tomoe he was use to seeing in the elder boys eyes, To a strange three pointed star shape. The blonde was stunned, The feeling of the chakra was dark, Akin to the one being that still rested in his own body. He narrowed his crystalline blue eyes once more and then held out his hand. He hated this, He would have to kill the one he considered a brother as the sky blue chakra began to gather in his left hand he continued to hold the kunai in his right.
"Itachi...I looked at you like an older brother! Regardless of what anyone said! I wasn't the demon brat to you! I wasn't the monster! I was Uzumaki Naruto! And now! You force me to have to fight...and even kill you Itachi! DAMN YOU!"
He continued to gather the chakra in his hand as Itachi waited watching him closely he knew Naruto would stop holding back after he activated his new eyes. He smiled sadly he couldn't kill him..Just like he couldn't kill his sister. He could only hope that the jutsu he was about to use on the blonde would just injure him.
"I am sorry Naruto-kun...I never was like them...But I never was what you thought I was..."
He slowly let his left eye close as he moved his eye to focus right on the Jutsu in Naruto's hand. The blonde simply roared as he rushed towards the long haired man who was waiting. The bright glowing sphere giving off a whirling sound. He threw his hand forward as he let the Jutsu's name be heard.
"RASENGAN!"
As he shouted though. The one thing he didn't expect happened. Itachi's right eye went wide as he activated his own jutsu a thin trail of blood coming from his eye. Naruto froze as the strange blaze flames exploded in his jutsu. Engulfing his arm and shoulder in the powerful technique.
"Amaterasu!"
The pain, Was excruciating. The feeling of burning was not new to Naruto, During his youth he was burned constantly. Even with the foxes healing though. This technique was over riding even the healing abilites. He screamed in agony as the flesh around his arm blackened, The blood boiling in his veins as Itachi seemed to control the fire to only be on his arm and shoulder. Itachi watched as Naruto fell to the ground and couldn't help but feel pain tug at his heart watching the man he considered a little brother suffering. He waited as Naruto soon passed out from the pain and let the flames disappear. Controlling them to leave his body and set one of the Police buildings in the Uchiha section ablaze.
"Forgive me Naruto...But I had to do this...You will learn in the future..."
As Itachi turned having looked at the burned mess of Naruto's arm he felt a pang of guilt hit him. He knew there was no way he would ever recover from that wound. The flesh and skin were too badly damaged. He shook his head and leapt from the compound leaving the Uzumaki laying in the gore on the ground.
Naruto woke with a start in his small little office on the outskirts of the Academy. He sighed softly to himself as he looked over at a picture on the wall. The picture taken 4 years ago. A picture taken exactly one month prior to the Uchiha Massacre. He sighed as he looked at when he and Itachi were friends. He was only 11 then. And Itachi 14. But they were friends and comrades in the ANBU. And he couldn't help but smile. Though Itachi costed him something dear. During that fight all those years ago, Itachi stole Naruto's shinobi career. He glanced down towards his left hand where the scar that wasn't covered by his vest and long sleeved tunic shown.
"Itachi...You stole my ability to be a ninja...but you never stole my ability to help others..."
Yes Naruto had a bitterness in his heart against the Uchiha heir. But he still considered him a friend. He turned softly and looked at the document that hung on the wall. The only one of it's kind in all of Konoha. He had learned soon after the massacre that the fire jutsu Itachi used on him had disabled him. For good. His left arm was burned to a point where he was lucky enough to be able to bend it and pick things up. And that was it. Still though he got something out of it and that was this document. That read simply.
' Uzumaki Naruto, Jounin of Konoha is hearby recognized by the Hokage, as a Shinobi Councilor'
The idea of it baffled him at first, The fact he was still a jounin meant he was respected still and even sought after his his ability to do some minor one handed jutsus. But when Sarutobi had informed him that he could help others. Ones who suffered worse then he did. Ones who would need guidance, He asked how he would be able to do that. The response made him happy. Learn the way to talk to people. Be there to help them realize they are not worthless or damaged and show them that.
"I still can't believe the old man was right..."
He chuckled softly to himself as he absentmindedly rubbed his scared hand. He moved over to the appointment book and smiled softly and sadly. There were so many, Who needed his help. Who needed someone to talk to and listen to them. But he never expected it to be people he had known or even grown up with. He looked through the book to see who was scheduled to be in his office today and he smiled softly.
"Well, This is the day..The first day that that young girl comes..Haruno-san."
He read through the file a bit and he truly did feel sorry for the young girl. She was only a few years younger than himself. She was a mere eleven years old and he was 15. But she needed help. He remembered when her mother came to his office. Haruno Sakaki was anything but a normal woman. She was a woman of expensive tastes and the like. But then again she was also a Merchant. Her Husband was a Shinobi in the I&T department. And it seemed their daughter wanted to take after Daddy. But her mothers concerns were with the fact the students in the school seemed to have caused her to have a hate for her looks. More importantly the prominent brow that all Haruno possessed and thus asked him to see her as a minor therapy to help her overcome that fear and hatred that others forced into her.
He blinked lightly as he heard a small timid knock on the door to his office and chuckled as he shouted for whoever it was to come in and in stepped the young Haruno. She was cute in her own right. It seemed she had inherited her mother's hair but her fathers bright emerald eyes. She bowed lightly to him as he waved it off.
"Now now, Sakura-chan. No need to be so formal. I am Uzumaki Naruto. You can call me Naruto-sensei or even Naruto-san. I am here to help. Your Mom says you have been having some problems?"
She seemed to visibly relax as he spoke to her much like a normal person. Not treating her like a child or even like an object. It seemed she may have been nervous. She soon smoothed out her long dress and spandex shorts and moved to sit across from him in the large comfy chair.
"Ano...Yeah...I kinda do..."
He smiled gently at her as he pulled out a small tea set and poured two cups sliding one to her he watched as she took it and seemed to relax a bit further as she sipped the tea. He was sure he could make a good tea at least.
"It...is just everyone...say's My forehead is too huge. And...Well that I am ugly and the like.."
He shook his head. Kid's never learn it seems. He stretched lightly and then sipped his own tea as he smiled again at her and then began to softly speak. His words kind and gentle.
"Sakura-chan. Nothing could be further from the truth. Your family is one of the ones who use to be Daimyo's and royals. And to them a broad forehead was a sign of power and beauty. And You are not ugly. You are a beautiful flower in bloom. Some people Sakura-chan, say things to people, when they are jealous."
She blinked, Was this true? He seemed so sure and gentle. As well as he wasn't shouting at her or anything simply speaking to her. She couldn't help but blush a little at his words and she smiled softly at him.
"Come now Sakura-chan. Surely you met someone who is kind. And see's you for you. I heard you were friends with a friend of mine's daughter. Ino-chan is her name I believe."
At the mention of Ino's name Sakura couldn't help but nod. She was friends with the blonde girl. Out of all the other rude and mean girls in her class in the academy Ino came to her and became her friend. She was truly grateful to the girl. She helped pull her out of always being sad.
"Yes! Ino-chan is my friend. She helps me in the Academy and when the others would pick on me she stands up for me."
He smiled as she said that and nodded as he sipped his tea. He knew the Yamanaka were very very kind people. Hell it was them who had helped him get past his own fears with his injury. He was glad that this girl found someone who was a friend to her.
"You know Sakura-chan. Those who have friends who stick up for them are way better than those who simply attack others. Most kids attack others cause they think it will make them feel better. Alot of times the ones who say these things are having a rough time at him or even in school. You know what I think? I think you should try to meet them half way. If they start saying mean things. Ask them whats wrong. They may be surprised your willing to listen."
Sakura went wide eyed at that. She never once thought of that. Could they really simply be screaming out for help by trying to make her feel bad? It was possible One of the girls who teased her always seemed to be crying by herself during lunch when Sakura would see them.
"Umm Naruto-san? You may be right. But Why would they wanna hurt me to feel better?"
He went wide eyed a bit at her words and smiled. She was a smart one. He was glad for that. He took a small breath and then smiled wistfully.
"That...even I can't answer Sakura-chan. People are hard to understand. But I know that you wanna know why you? Sometimes...It is cause they feel that if they make you feel bad. They themselves will feel better about their own lifes. But I think you can prove you are strong to them and make them all your friends."
He smiled at her as she nodded seemingly slightly happier than she came in. She looked at her small watch and went panicky lightly. She stood and looked around quickly.
"Oh no! I'm gonna be late for Class!"
He chuckled and pulled out a small note pad and wrote down some stuff and handed the piece of paper to the pinkette and then waved lightly.
"Hand that note to Iruka-sensei. He will see you were here and you will be fine Sakura-chan. But get going. Can't have your bright mind go to waste!"
She smiled and ran out the door as he stood and chuckled softly. He never fully understood these girls now. They all seemed to be worried about their looks and their figures to ever feel the pain of the true shinobi world. He only hoped when the time came he wouldn't need to help one though the worst thing a Kunoichi could go though. He sighed and looked at his appointment book again. It seemed Hatake-san was due in next. He chuckled as he moved over to the window to await the Cycloptic man.
"I hope Kakashi-san isn't gonna show up with that damned book of his..."
Though Naruto knew it was a pointless hope. He turned surprised to see Kakashi stepping into his office on time and without the book but in his hand was a bundle of flowers. Naruto knew what Kakashi wanted and smiled.
"I take you wish to talk as you visit Obito-san?"
Kakashi eyesmiled softly towards his fellow Jounin and nodded as he watched Naruto move over to grab a small bottle of sake and put it in his pouch he raised his one visible eye lightly at Naruto's actions and then chuckled as Naruto spoke.
"Hey, you may bring flowers. But I know with how boring it is to be up there probably I know Obito-san would want a stiff drink."
Kakashi smiled as they left the office and soon began to talk softly next to the Blonde as they made their way to the memorial stone.
"Thank you again Naruto...It makes me happy that someone is willing to visit this place with me from time to time."
Smiling softly Naruto placed his hand on the silver haired man's shoulder and squeezed it lightly. He knew how hard Kakashi took it with Obito's death over the years. And he knew that death always seemed to take everything away from the Silver haired man.
"Kakashi-san. I owe it to those who have fallen. They give their lives to protect us, and protect the future generation. I believe Obito died a hero. Much like Sakumo-san."
At the mention of his father, Kakashi's eyes misted lightly. He recalled how many hated his father for abandoning the mission but he was happy to know some still considered him a hero.
"Thank you Naruto...It means a lot. My father...and Obito...Helped me to learn.."
Nodding Naruto placed the small bottle down at the stone and spoke for Kakashi.
"That those who disobey the rules are trash. But those who abandon their allies are worse than trash."
He smiled up at Kakashi as the man knelt and placed the flowers on the stone beside the small bottle of sake. He wiped his eye lightly as he stood in front of the stone.
"Obito...Tou-san...I will continue to go forward...Even if it is hard..Even if I still wish it were me who died in that cave Obito. But I know...That I wasn't meant to. I was suppose to help Konoha and protect her."
Placing his hand on Kakashi's shoulder again Naruto smiled he knew Kakashi swore many times he would always protect this village and Naruto was one of the ones who believed he could do it if the time came.
"Kakashi-san...You have their will inside you. Never forget that. You are not alone. Obito-san and Sakumo-sam will always be in your heart."
Kakashi nodded lightly and took a deep breath seeming to calm himself as he knelt down again and spoke softly to Naruto and the stone.
"I have decided..I will become a Sensei for this coming class. I will help make the future better by preparing the Genin for what they need to be ready for. You will be proud when I am done...Obito...Tou-san."
To say he was surprised was an understatement, Kakashi never once wanted to be a sensei, even during their time in ANBU Kakashi would rather just do the mission instead of helping. But it seems finally he is ready to do what is needed.
"I am glad Kakashi-san. I was worried they would end up making...I dunno like Ibiki become a Sensei. And Kami help whoever would be under him."
Kakashi couldn't help but let a chuckle come to him stomach. He tried to picture Ibiki teaching a group of genin and couldn't help but laugh outloud. He soon calmed down as he turned to Naruto and placed his hand on the young man's shoulder.
"Thanks again Naruto. Let's do this again same time next week alright?"
Nodding Naruto watched Kakashi walk away pulling that blasted book out of no where to begin reading it. What he ever saw in that book he would never know. He tried reading it a few times. And every time he did he would just laugh at the stupidity in the book.
"I wonder...Who might be my next patient."
He soon was heading back to his office a small smile on his face as he let his eyes wander around the village he tried to remember when he had become so relaxed. He shrugged it off and soon reentered his office and sat down at his desk finally marking off Kakashi and Sakura from their appointments. He flipped through the book again and sighed. His next appointment he would have to go to. And if he was right he would be having to console a crying woman again.
"Well...I better head to the Inuzuka Compound...Tsume-san is next.."
To Be continued...
