**************************************
Tifa watched the siblings in concern. Ever since three days ago when the man was rescued they had been acting lost. Temari barely moved from his bedside, Kankurõ was acting like a bodyguard and refused to move from his room and Gaara, after Naruto and Vincent had gained control of him and 'calmed' him, was even more withdrawn than normal.
Naruto was actively talking to him, essentially forcing him to interact, trying to keep him from monotonous one word answers.
One time when he wasn't, Tifa questioned him on the man.
"His name is Baki and he was their 'team leader' and sensai during their attempted invasion of Hidden Leaf" he explained. "Like Kakashi sensei was ours. He's a good man when you get to know him. To enemies he's ruthless and strong, but those he cares about he's firm but caring.
After Gaara became the Kazekage he took up position on the Suna Council."
"So he's an retired ninja?"
Naruto nodded "retired but still as skilled as the day he used to lead the three" he glanced behind him, concerned, at the silent red head "Gaara's not used to caring for others. He conditioned himself to only care for himself. I shook his ideals and beliefs, made him care again."
"And you're afraid how this will affect him" Tifa continued "that he might withdraw from you all-go back to how he used to be."
The blonde nodded seriously and Tifa smiled at him "don't worry Naruto, we won't let that happen."
Later on she wondered the hallway of the main building, looking for the red head. To her surprise she found him in the nursery, Aeris laying in his arms and nursing from a bottle. The baby was gripping one of his fingers with her little fist tightly, eyes locked to his green ones. They seemed to be sharing something she couldn't understand, some sort of silent communication-probably between shared demon chakramana-but whatever it was, it seemed to be helping the red head because that night the red head was alone in his sensei's room, seated beside his bed and watching him silently.
Apparently the man had been lucky to not loose any limbs or appendages, instead the village had chosen to take chunks of flesh from his sides, thighs and forearms.
With much discussion and consolidation between Tsunade, Dr Mizuki, Lord Godo's personal doctor, Sakura and Rufus, they had organized an plan. They were hopeful that using chakra, cure and heal materia, very low level mako, samples from Naruto and general medical knowledge they could stimulate the man's own body to heal and replace that flesh, muscle and tissue. If it worked they could use it to help the other victims. While they would never grow back limbs or fingers as such, they COULD heal over bones and cause skin to cover raw wounds and areas were limps were taken.
While an Heal materia could close cuts or wounds and Cure could help with serious injuries, Pheonix Down could bring back recent dead NOTHING could regenerate severed limbs, especially not-she swallowed in disgust and horror-EATEN limbs.
She WAS glad though that those of Godo's warriors or ninja missing them would be given enough gil to retire comfortably with their families-or even easier jobs-for those wanting to continue working.
And with the state of their technology these days, there was also artificial limbs-similar to Barrett's metal hand. With both Reeve and Cid and other well-known people in that field any of Godo's people willing to be fitted for one would be able to hopefully return to work soon.
She didn't know if it was possible to replace just fingers, but it was worth finding out.
Tifa suddenly came to a halt as she heard talking up ahead. The two Uchiha's.
"But are you sure about this, aniki?" This was Sasuke voice "how do you know you are not being taken advantage of, you've never done this sort of thing before, you have no experience in this....field."
Tifa frowned, who was taking advantage of Itachi?
"I am aware of when someone is trying to use me, otouto. I grew up our father's weapon then the villagers, then Nagato's. I learned fast in my youth to identify when someone is attempting so. It is not so now."
"But....what makes you so sure" the youngest pleaded with him.
"Her motives are pure, her soul selfless. I sense all she wants from me is to help me, nothing else. No one in our world has ever affected me like this, no one has ever both aroused my body and soul at the same time. I wish to get to know her more and more every day. I crave the things she teaches me like a child craves candy-but at the same time she soothes that torment that has always resided inside me, the knowledge of what I have done and been forced to do to or by others. She knows of everything I have done in my life, but she still sees something inside I was once no longer able to see. Through HER eyes I sometimes see in myself something more, something worthy."
Silence for a few long seconds then Sasuke spoke softly, stunned "I had no idea you felt this way, about yourself and in general" he paused then spoke again "and I can't help feeling that's partly MY fault."
The next she could hear was Itachi's low voice soothing his brother. She kept going, frowning thoughtfully at what she heard.
There was no mistaking it, they were talking about her and it surprised her just how much he felt for her, while it worried her how much he needed her.
That’s when she heard it. Up ahead she heard the loud angry crying of a baby, getting louder and more frustrated as the seconds ticked by. Frowning she headed towards the nursery and the sound, to find someone standing over the twins crib, lifting Aeris into his arms.
“Naruto?” she questioned at his back, worried about the girl’s obvious distress.
At the sound of her voice the shape tensed minutely and without turning he said flatly “oh hi Tifa.”
She frowned, concerned by the flat tone of voice, tense shoulders and the baby screaming. What was wrong with Aeris? Why wasn’t Naruto fussing over her as usual? And why was he calling her Tifa now instead of Tif as he had since that day they adopted her as family?
She stepped closer, frowning deeper when he tensed even more “what’s wrong with Aeris, Naruto? Why is she crying so loudly?”
“She’s just fussing” he waved it off, but Tifa noticed how the baby screamed louder as the blonde touched her and picked her up. How the other two babies awoke with the girls cries and also began to scream. Tifa was shocked, it wasn’t like Naruto shrug off his daughters upset so uncaringly, let alone his son and teammate’s son’s.
What was going on?
Suddenly Aeris’ eyes changed, going fiery red with cat-eye pupils and before she could react, red chakramana surrounded her, attacking the blonde who yelped in agony at the shot. Before Tifa could react, mouth open at the action, the blonde looked furious, snarling “you little shit!”
Tifa reacted purely by instinct as the blonde raised the baby, looking fully intent on thowing her to the floor. She ran forward, lashing out to round-house kick the blonde into the nearest wall, catching the baby as she started to fall, wrapping herself protectively around the baby as she rolled her out of harms way.
Once on her feet she quickly checked her, placed her back in the crib with her brother and concentrated on the adamantium bangle around her wrist. An barrier materia glowed, surrounding the two cribs.
Standing in front of the cribs protectively in an defensive stance she watched the blonde figure pull himself from the wall and stand up, brushing the pieces from his torn clothes, revealing another difference to the one he looked like.
"You're going to regret that" he growled at her.
"I don't know who or what you are, but you are NOT Naruto" Tifa said firmly "Naruto would NEVER treat Aeris like that and she would NEVER act so negatively towards him. Besides......" she nodded at the fresh scar across the stomach "...Naruto healed from that weeks ago without a mark due to his demon chakra. Of course DEEPGROUND didn't know that, did they." Her eyes narrowed on the figure "making YOU one of them, aren't you. Where's the REAL Naruto?! What have you done to him?!"
"I don't know what you're talking about Tifa....."
"....Number one" she interrupted "Naruto hasn't called me that since the first week we met. He calls me by my nickname now. Number two, Narutos' demon was an vixen-that's a FEMALE FOX in case you don't know, and as an female fox he's VERY protective of his children, his litter. He would NEVER EVER even considered what you did. His maternal instinct is three times an humans due to the vixen. Number three, demons are very possessive and protective of what they see as their own that type of behavior would never happen. Number four, Naruto is and was an orphan until Vincent claimed him. His biological parents were killed the day he was born and he grew up with little to no love-just abuse. Do you REALLY think someone who has yearned love and acceptance, family, all his life is going to treat his offspring that way? You may have his LOOKS, but you are definitely NOT him. I know Naruto, I know how he acts, how he moves, and you are NOT him."
"But Tifa....."
"Quit the act" she snapped "I don't believe it for a second, no matter what you say!"
The figure drew itself up straight and the face went hard “well then if I’m going to complete my mission I’ll just have to get rid of you, won’t I” and in a flash of movement he was moving to attack.
Although he was obviously enhanced by mako, so was Tifa and they seemed evenly matched until a sound from the doorway distracted the other. Taking advantage of his momentary lack of attention Tifa kicked him with her entire strength through a wall.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” someone yelled and she spun to find Sasuke and Itachi in the doorway. While Sasuke moved a step towards the figure hanging out of the wall. Itachi’s eyes went intense and his head raised slightly and Tifa swore he was scenting the air. His eyes sparked from black to an red cat-like eyes for a second in what Tifa swore was anger and he spoke out one word softly “Sasuke.”
The soft voice seemed to stop the younger when any other way wouldn’t, he froze and looked towards his big brother, confused “‘Tachi?”
“You are using your heart, not your mind outoto. Think for a minute.” When he frowned at his brother deeper and more confused he spoke again “You know Naruto better than anyone.”
Sasuke didn’t seem to know what his brother meant so Tifa spoke “it’s not Naruto, he was trying to hurt or kidnap Aeris. She was screaming when I coped him and lashed out when he touched her.”
“But....” Sasuke started when the figure spoke as he pulled himself out of the wall “I don’t know what she’s talking about Sasuke. I was just going to change Aeris when she attacked me.” When Sasuke frowned at him, Itachi spoke again in the same tone of voice “genjitsu. Use your senses, you know Naruto better than any of us.”
Sasuke looked at the other and Tifa could FEEL his chakra flair just very slightly, as if looking for something, maybe an answer, but didn’t get one. He then did the same as Itachi had upon entering. His nostrils flared and his eyes narrowed at the other “tell me Naruto, why didn’t you call me by my nickname?”
“What?” the ‘blonde’ frowned at this.
“Why didn’t you call me by my nickname, dobe?"
“I.....” before the figure could speak, Sasuke had spun into action. With two kicks he had forced the figure into the hallway and away from the cribs “Itachi, Tifa, get the babies out of here.”
Tifa opened her mouth to speak but Itachi placed a hand on her shoulder and shook his head. Cancelling the barrier she picked up Ryoshi while Itachi took the twins and they started past. When the figure moved to attack, Sasuke stopped him by flashing forward with one of their blades-an kunai-towards the figure to distract it from the two. Tifa just lashed out with a leg, forcing him to move away and directly into Sasuke’s path.
The two then moved away from the room as fast as they could move.
They soon came across the Sand Siblings, moving towards the sounds of fighting. Itachi handed the twins over to their ‘uncles’ while Tifa handed Ryoshi to Temari, Itachi exchanged looks with Gaara and the red head told his brother and sister to follow and they left in a blur of speed.
There came the sound of an alarm and the two returned to the two fighting to provide what aid they could. It wasn’t that they doubted Sasuke could win, they just wanted to be there if needed. They rounded the corner in time to watch Sasuke’s next chakra-laced blow strike the figure through the last wall out into the open of outside. As they did, the rest of the ninja’s came out approaching the site of the battle.
When Tifa saw Tsunade frown and move to stop it, Itachi and herself moved forward to block them "no! It's not what it looks like!"
"It is an illusion" Itachi said smoothly "an genjutsu."
"Do any of you know where Naruto is? We don't know if he's a captive right now or merely off somewhere else and they took advantage of his absence."
Tsunade frowned "I haven't seen him for a few hours. I've been attending to Jundo" she turned to look at the others, raising an eyebrow at them.
"I saw him about forty minutes ago" Sai said "with Kakashi-san."
Tsunade frowned "Where IS Kakashi?"
Jiraiya spoke out "I heard him say Naruto needed to do some training to help his body recover from the pregnancy. The last time I saw them they were headed off to spar."
"How long ago?"
"Forty-five minutes ago, they were headed out towards the land outside the property."
"So as far as we know they could be out there now, still training and completely unaware of what's happening here."
"I don't think so" Tifa said "if he didn't sense Aeris' fury and panic and her flair of chakra, he would have sensed Sasukes. His immediate instinct would have been to come and protect her. If he's free he'd be coming here now, if he's a captive he's trying to escape, the only way he'd miss it would be to be unconscious or worse."
Among the group Sai was the first one to truly think. He pulled out his PHS and used the speed dial before raising it to his ear.
At first there was nothing, then he suddenly spoke "Naruto......where are you located?......hai it is.......the babies are safe, The Kazekage and his siblings are watching over them.....hai it did......hai...." he listened a few more seconds then nodded "hai" and hung up.
Well?! What did he say!?"
"Jiraiya sama was right, he and Kakashi-san went out to spar. They were attacked by an large group of monsters. They were still fighting when Naruto felt Aeris' panic and fury. He wanted to go to her, but he couldn't leave Kakashi and they were surrounded. He said he had a..." the ex-assassin and spy hesitated, looking for the right word.
"Sai?" Tifa prompted in concern.
"He remembers having an attack, similar to when Kyuubi used to control him and he completely destroyed all of them. The next thing he knew he was chasing some figure to a base and completely destroying it. He's back in control and met back up with Kakashi san and they are headed back here." He looked at Tifa "he said to tell you 'the fake is Weiss'."
Tifa blinked then turned to the youngest Uchiha, calling out over the battle "It's Weiss, Sasuke! He's your fathers enemy and the leader of DeepGround. He's the one who kidnapped Naruto and ordered your children's death! We know where Naruto is, you don't need to get any information out of him."
"Eliminate the target, Uchiha" Tsunade called.
Sasukes' grin was decidedly dark "With pleasure, Hokage" and he activated the curse mark.
The other figure grinned "well since I've been exposed....." his entire body shuddered and as the watched the disguise dissolved, revealing the tall muscular white haired man from before with two large gunblades.
What followed was a battle between second stage curse-marked Sasuke and Weiss.
There came a sudden voice from opposite them, a cry of “baachan!”
The group turned to find Naruto racing towards them, Kakashi casually walking on his heels.
“Naruto!” Tsunade dashed forward, catching the young man up into her arms, pulling him into her bosom as she held him close. “Baachan” he choked “too tight.”
The woman reluctantly let him go, frowning when she saw the blood and torn clothes, immediately releasing him to start examining him, hands glowing as she ran them over him. The blonde tried to wiggle out of her grip, protesting “I’m fine baachan! I don’t need healing! I healed already!”
Tifa frowned at Kakashi who had stopped a distance from them and was watching “Kakashi?! What’s wrong?” she then noticed the torn clothes on him and fresh blood as well as open obvious wounds still oozing “Tsunade san, Kakashi’s injured!”
The woman’s head snapped up towards the man, eying him up and down, concerned at what she saw “come here, Hatake.”
“I’m fine here, Lady Hokage” he said stiffly, not moving from his spot.
The woman’s eyes narrowed on him “come here Kakashi Hatake.”
He didn’t move and when the woman’s eyes narrowed and her anger built Tifa blinked when she heard a slight muffled sound of terror. At first she thought it was the silver haired ninja, but then Naruto spoke “he can’t baachan.”
The woman’s eyes snapped to him “what?”
“HE is afraid of people, baachan, if you go anywhere near Kakashi he’ll panic and freak out again.”
Tsunade was about to open her mouth and speak again when Tifa saw something. Around the back of the cyclops leg something moved, an strip of flesh. The sound of that muffled terror came again, only this time she identified it from the back of the ninja about just over knee level. When Kakashi moved slightly the strip of flesh became visible, moving around to wrap around the mans legs, holding him in place.
An arm, a small pale arm covered in cuts, bruises and scars.
Tifa looked closer and was just in time to see an face peek out from the side of the arm just very slightly, just enough to see one violet glowing eye and messy white hair, the face of an beaten and frightened child about three or four. But she knew that face, the hair.
A clone, a child clone of Weiss.
But why was he beaten? Why was he so frightened?
“Tsunade san” she gasped “look, child.”
The woman’s head snapped back, just in time to see the head and arm disappear behind the cyclops again. She frowned at it “where did YOU get a child from?!”
Naruto answered “we found him at the base we destroyed. The DeepGround soldiers there were....” he swallowed and looked sick “abusing him in every way possible. He’s a clone but for some reason he’s hated. They must have been abusing him since he was....born...he doesn’t know kindness and when Kakashi saved him and protected and was gentle with him he latched to him and hasn’t let go. He’s even afraid of me. He lets no one else near him but Kakashi.”
“He doesn’t have a name so we’re calling him Yamaneko.”
“Wildcat?” Tsunade frowned “you’re calling him Wildcat?”
Both males shrugged.
Tsunade decided not to protest and instead moved towards them. Immediately both males cried "NO!" and the silver cyclops backed up a bit from her. The blonde healer frowned "you are injured, Hatake, probably severely, and only have minimal healing skills. You need someone else to heal you."
"You can not approach without scaring him."
The blonde woman opened her mouth but Tifa acted. She crouched down to the abused boy’s height and making sure she felt and looked harmless and smiled at him “hi there.”
The child ducked back behind the cyclops leg, only for one curious but frightened eye to peak out again at her. There was suspicion there, but Tifa understood this reaction and didn’t take offense. She spoke gently “My name is Tifa. Do you have a name?”
The boy continued the watch her silently, blinking a few times and just when she thought the child wouldn’t answer she heard a whisper of something. “What was that?”
A small timid voice spoke again “TI156.” Tifa frowned “that’s not a name, Kakashi san and Naruto san are right. You’re name from now on is Yamaneko.” He looked up at her slightly “really?”
She smiled and nodded “yes. I know you’ve been through a lot and are scared, but no one here will hurt you. We will all protect you and help you, just like Kakashi san here did.”
“Kakashi san?” the boy looked up at the cyclops who looked down at him and nodded.
“That’s his name” Tifa said to him.
“Kakashi san” the boy said again as if confirming it to himself.
Tifa went serious “Yamaneko?” When the boy looked at her she went on “Yamaneko, Kakashi san is hurt, just like you. He needs help and Tsunade hime can heal him. But he won’t let her near because you’re afraid. Kakashi san needs healing and if you let lady Tsunade near him he can get help, just like Kakashi helped you.”
The face peaked around the man’s leg at the blonde healer and he solemnly shook his head.
“What about me?” Tifa asked gently “I have a heal materia, I can help him, but I’ll need to touch his arm to do so, will you let me do so? I swear I won’t hurt him or you. You can watch me while I do and make sure I don’t.”
After a long pause the child nodded solemnly and watched Tifa closely as she slowly carefully approached them. The closer she got the more he shrank behind the silver cyclops and clutched himself closer to his legs. To show he trusted her, Kakashi reached out and took her hands in his gloved ones.
Concentrating on using the heal on him, Tifa watched the green light from the bangle on her wrist flow over and around him, mostly concentrating on his wounds and injuries.
And frowned at the two.
As the light surrounded and worked on the silver cyclops, it was also flowing down to cover the child. It looked almost like the kid was absorbing it and Tifa could see his own wounds and other injuries closing as well. Not just that but the boy seemed to be using the power of the materia to strengthen himself.
If the boy could adsorb the power of materia, WHY was he a reject?
Once the man’s wounds and injuries were healed completely, Tifa stopped the flow and let go of the ninja’s hands, stepping back and away to make the boy feel better. Once done she looked the child over and spoke to Kakashi “maybe you should take him inside and get both yourselves cleaned up. You’re both covered in blood and dirt and it might make him feel better being clean. I’m sure Lord Godo has some other clothes he can use.”
The man nodded and with Sai and Tenten in tow to protect his back he lead the terrified child inside.
Distraction gone, the others turned to the fight still raging a distance from them.
