Chapter 3 Ghosts of Christmas Past

Naruto narrowed his eyes on the five point seal he'd drawn on the floor, scrutinizing it closely. There was absolutely no room for any error in this jutsu. Once he was satisfied that the seal was perfect, he sat in the dead center of it and began flashing through a long series of hand signs. He formed the final sign, hitsuji, and called out, "Dead Soul Visitation Jutsu!" There were five flashes of light that flew out of each point on the seal to destinations somewhere in Konoha. Naruto kept his concentration, he had to keep chakra flowing into the floor seal or the jutsu would release. He smiled. 'Time for them to settle their past and move on.'

Kakashi stood at the memorial stone and sighed before turning to leave, only to stop short and stare in shock at the sight that greeted him. There, right in front of him, stood his old teammates. He took a halting step forward, reaching out a hesitant hand, "O-obito? Rin?"
The goggled Uchiha grinned the idiotic grin that haunted Kakashi's dreams, "Man Kakashi-teme, you look like you're gonna pass out."
The girl elbowed Obito, "Stop that Obito! It's not like he expected to actually see us."
The tall jonin approached them and put a shaking hand on Obito's shoulder, "You're...here. But how?"
Rin smiled, "A jutsu, we can't stay long Kakashi-kun."
Kakashi embraced them both, "But you're here now. God I'm sorry."
Rin blinked, "Why?"
"I failed you, both of you, because of my stupid adherence to rules and-"
"Shut up you idiot," a fist on top of his head cut Kakashi's lament off and he pulled back to gawk at Obito, who folded his arms across his chest, "For a genius you sure can be stupid. It wasn't your fault, it never was, fate just dealt us a bad hand. There wasn't anything you could have done so stop wallowing in guilt baka."
Rin ran her fingers over the bump Obito had put on Kakashi's skull, "He's right Kakashi-kun. None of the blame was yours. Obito's death would have occurred even if you'd gone with him from the start and if you hadn't followed orders the day we were attacked then the entire village would have been destroyed. Stop holding yourself responsible for things out of your control."
Kakashi laid his head on her shoulder and broke shinobi rule 25. She held him closely as he sobbed and Obito awkwardly pat his back. Once the storm of tears had passed Rin kissed him on the cheek and Obito gave him a noogie. Kakashi ran a hand through his hair and eyed Obito before tackling him and tickling him to within an inch of his afterlife. the three then sat and talked for a while. Suddenly Rin said, "Obito we have to go now."
The Uchiha tilted his head for a moment then nodded, "Yeah you're right."
Kakashi jolted, "But-"
Rin put her finger up to his lips, "Kakashi, Obito and I are dead. We were allowed to visit you for a short time but now we have to go."
Obito slung his arm over Kakashi's shoulders, "Look genius, we're the past. You need to put us in the past and move on before you end up with more regrets."
Rin glared at the tactless brunette, "What Obito is trying to say is that we're and you shouldn't let the ghosts of the past destroy the hope for the future."
Then she and Obito gave Kakashi one last hug. He whispered, "I don't want to say goodbye yet."
Rin chuckled, "It's not really goodbye, in a way we're always with you, watching over you."
Obito snorted, "In a way hell, I am always with him. He's got my eye remember."
Kakashi smirked behind his mask, "Kiss my ass Uchiha."
"Ew no thanks. I'm already dead, I don't need to be diseased too."
The copy ninja laughed as Rin smacked and scolded Obito until they faded out of sight. Kakashi sighed and stood up, about to leave once again when he heard quiet footsteps coming towards him. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Iruka approaching with an armful of red and white poinsettias. The chunin paused when he saw Kakashi, "Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you Kakashi-san."
Kakashi smiled, "You're not disturbing me Iruka-sensei. What brings you here?"
Iruka came forward to lay the poinsettias down and knelt at the base of the memorial stone,"This is a yearly tradition of mine. I bring our fallen heroes a little Christmas cheer."
Kakashi stared at Iruka for a moment then smiled, "That's just like you Iruka-sensei, you have a very kind heart."
Iruka glanced over at Kakashi, "And you Kakashi-san? Paying respects to your teammates?"
The jonin came forward and knelt beside Iruka, "Yes, even though I never feel anything but guilty here."
"Because you couldn't protect them. You're always thinking 'what if' and wishing you could turn back time."
Kakashi blinked at the chunin's statement, "That sounds like the voice of experience Iruka-sensei."
The brunette smiled, "Of course. Every ninja has regrets but what's important is that we don't miss the future because we're living in the past."
Iruka's words echoed those of Obito's and Rin's eerily and Kakashi suddenly remembered his conversation with Naruto not long ago. The blond had said 'At least I wouldn't hesitate if I got another chance.' 'Well Hatake a chance is slapping you right in the face, are you going to take it or be a moron?' Kakashi could have sworn that the voice in his head sounded strangely like Obito but ignored the odd sensation, "Iruka?"
The lack of the term sensei caught the brunette's attention immediately and he turned his head, eyes widening when he noticed how close Kakashi's face was to his, "Y-yes?"
The jonin raised a hand to the scarred man's cheek, "What is your opinion of me?"
"W-what do you mean?"
Kakashi brought his face so close his nose bumped Iruka's, "Do you like me?"
"Do I l-like you?"
"Mmm, do you like me? Enough to be in danger of falling in love with me?"
Iruka felt his face burning and knew that Kakashi could see the lobster red tint of his face, "I-I..."
The jonin smirked and raised a finger to the edge of his mask, "I'll take that as a yes," he tugged his mask down and kissed Iruka spang on the mouth. The brunette's soft brown eyes widened then fluttered closed as he returned the kiss. If the two living shinobi had been paying attention, they'd have heard, "Finally! It's about time you old scarecrow," followed by the sound of a whack and a scolding female voice that faded out gradually. But of course the living weren't paying attention to anything but each other's taste.

Tsunade filed away the last of the day's paperwork and poured herself some sake. She closed her eyes, leaned back, and lifted the saucer to her lips.
"You know it's not very healthy to drink so much Tsunade-chan."
The blond woman's eyes flew open and the saucer slipped from her fingers to clatter on the floor as the familiar male voice was joined by another.
"Yeah nee-chan. 'Sides the Hokage shouldn't be a drunk."
Tsunade's mouth moved but no sound came out as she tried to stand only to discover that her legs wouldn't hold her. The pale haired man in front of her desk frowned in concern and moved around the desk to place a hand on her shoulder, "Tsunade-chan?"
The Godaime gripped his hand and whispered, "Dan? Is it really you?"
He smiled and nodded as the young man who'd spoken earlier squawked indignantly, "Hey don't forget about me nee-chan!"
Tsunade held out a hand, "Nawaki, you're here too?"
Her brother bounced over to hug Tsunade, "Yup, how've you been nee-chan?"
Tsunade started sobbing and the two males wrapped their arms around her. Dan pet her hair, "Shh now, it's okay Nade-chan."
"I've wanted to see you two so badly!"
"I know. We've missed you too."
Nawaki squeezed his big sister tightly, "We've been watching over you ya know."
She scrubbed at her eyes, "You have?
" "Uh-huh and we're really proud of you nee-chan."
She pulled back to stare at her brother, "You are?!"
Dan moved to sit on the desk in front of Tsunade, "Of course we are. You could have helped Orochimaru and forsaken Konoha to get us back but you stood strong and refused his offer. You became the Hokage and you've been doing an excellent job."
She looked off to the side, "I probably would have refused if it hadn't been for Naruto."
Nawaki grinned widely, "But that's what makes it so great that you did tell that hebi-kisama no. You could have ignored Naruto but instead you opened up to him and let him heal some of the hurt our deaths left behind. He's gonna be an awesome Hokage."
She blinked and smiled before ruffling Nawaki's hair, "Not sad that it won't be you otouto?"
Nawaki shook his head furiously and Dan laughed, "Absolutely not. You should hear Nawaki-kun in the afterlife when we watch Naruto, it's always 'he's so cool' and 'he really kicks butt' I can't get Nawaki-kun to shut up."
Tsunade laughed as Nawaki pouted and they passed the next few moments in silence. Suddenly Nawaki asked, "Hey nee-chan how come you don't have a boyfriend?"
"W-what?!"
"How come you don't have a boyfriend? Are you still hurting cause of Dan-nii-san's death?"
She ran her fingers through his hair, "Not hurting so much as..."
Dan smiled and finished her sentance, "Scared. Right Nade-chan?"
She nodded and Dan tilted her face up to meet his eyes, "Don't be scared of loving again Nade-chan. I can promise you that you won't be left behind again."
She trembled, "How can you promise that?"
"Being part of the spirit world has it's advantages, one being that I know when someone is going to be joining us there."
She swallowed, "You mean this isn't just a dream? You two are really here?"
"That's right, we were given a chance to finally say goodbye one last time thanks to a jutsu but we have to go back soon."
Nawaki flickered, "Uh-oh looks like soon's here."
Tsunade whipped her head around to see her brother fading before her eyes, "Nawaki!"
"It's okay nee-chan. I'll still be watching over you til you join us. Bai bai," and he winked out of sight.
She felt a kiss on her forehead and turned to face a rapidly fading Dan, who grinned, "Take good care of yourself Nade-chan. Sayonara," and just that fast he was gone as well and Tsunade was alone again. She whispered goodbye and laid her head on the desk to let the tears flow.
"Here now Tsunade-hime, don't be crying on a cold unfeeling desk when you've got a warm shoulder like mine."
Her head shot up and she saw the blurred form of Jiraiya crouched on the window sill, "What do you want you old pervert?"
He hopped down and went over to her, picked her up, and cradled her close, "There, isn't that better than a desk?"
She mumbled an insult against his shoulder making him chuckle and stroke her hair, "Missing Dan and Nawaki?"
"That's part of it."
"Tsunade-hime I don't think they'd want you to be sad because of them. You were their most precious person, they'd want you to be happy so dry the tears hmm?"
She pulled back and glared at him with rapidly drying eyes, "You suck at comforting someone Jiraiya."
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her lashes, "True but I should get an A for effort."
She shook her head and leaned her forehead on his shoulder, "You're ridiculous."
"But that's why you love me."
She smirked, "Says who?"
"What you mean you don't love me? I'm wounded!"
The drama in his voice made her chuckle and she remembered a promise she'd made herself when he'd left to fight Pain but never kept. 'If you make it back here you won't have to put on a tough front for me anymore.' 'I think it's time to keep that promise to myself now.' She pulled back and flicked his hitai-ate off, "Tell you what Jiraiya, if you can beat me at poker then I'll go on a date with you," she leaned up and kissed his forehead, "and I'm betting that you won't beat me."
Jiraiya grinned as she sauntered away. 'And we all know how Tsunade's bets turn out.'

Kurenai tucked her daughter in and kissed her goodnight, "Sleep sweet Amaya."
"Night mommy!"
Kurenai smiled and went to the living room to straighten it up a bit. She chuckled when she found some candy stashed under the Shogi board.
"She's a smart little thing isn't she Kure?"
The genjutsu mistress straightened and stared at the man before her, "Asuma?"
"Hey beautiful."
Kurenai dashed forward and embraced the bearded man, "Is this a genjutsu?"
"No it's not. I'm here for a bit because of the Dead Soul Visitation Jutsu."
"So you'll be leaving soon?"
"Yeah."
She held him tighter, "At least I'll be able to say goodbye this time."
He ran his fingers through her hair, "So how's our little girl been doing?"
"Shikamaru's been teaching her Go and Shogi and she's taking to it like a duck to water. She's been learning shinobi basics from Yama-," she broke off and looked away from Asuma.
He tilted her face back to his, "Good I'm glad you've found someone Kure."
"What?"
"I'm glad you've found Yamato. I want you to give him a chance, he loves you and he loves Amaya like she was his own child. I'm gone Kure and you need someone to hold you and be a father to Amaya and I can't think of anyone better than Yamato."
"But-"
He cut her off, "You won't betray my memory Kure. Call Skikamaru and go to Yamato, I'll watch over Amaya until Shikamaru gets here."
She gave him one last hug, "Goodbye Asuma," and sent a messenger bird to Shikamaru before using shunshin no jutsu to teleport herself to Yamato's. Asuma smiled at the wisps of smoke and settled down to wait for Shikamaru so he could give the lazy genius a goose. He didn't have to wait long, Shikamaru entered the house and pulled up short when he saw Asuma. He flung a shuriken at the man and Asuma caught it easily, "Your aim used to be better Shikamaru."
The shadow wielder eyed the man before him before sighing, "Dead Soul Visitation, troublesome."
Asuma laughed, "You haven't changed much have you?"
Shikamaru walked over to his old sensei and sat down on the other side of the shogi board, "Not much no."
Asuma moved a piece on the board, "Well you need to put a little more effort into your personal life."
Shikamaru twitched, "Are you referring to Temari?"
"Yes you lazy ass I am. Use that genius brain of yours to get a date for once."
Shikamaru eyed the move Asuma had just made and countered, "There's something in the way."
Asuma rolled his eyes, "Don't be stupid. Her brothers are easily dealt with, matter of fact the redhead's already taken care of. Now you just need to get the puppet master together with a certain snake mistress."
Shikamaru raised an eyebrow, "I don't think I'll need to exert that effort. It appears that someone is playing matchmaker in Konoha so I think I'll just wait until they match Kankuro up, then I'll see about Temari. Checkmate."
"Damn it! I was hoping that I'd get to win against you at least once before I had to go back."
Shikamaru watched his sensei fading from sight, "Ja ne sensei."
"See ya Shikamaru. Give your girl a kiss for me when you finally make a move."
Shikamaru smiled and got up to check on Amaya before settling down to sleep. Somehow he didn't think that Kurenai would be back tonight.

Naruto gradually released the jutsu and whispered his thanks to the spirits he'd summoned before they returned to the spirit world. He flopped back and blew out an exhausted breath. 'Man that was draining but worth it.' He fell asleep there on the floor. He was awoken by a loud explosion and he shot to his feet and was out the door going towards the sound instantly. he saw a commotion at the Hokage Tower and dashed over there to see Tsunade, Jiraiya, and several ANBU staring at a giant barrier. "Baa-chan what's going on?"
She turned to Naruto, "Do you see the two old men in the barrier?"
"Yeah, who are they?"
"They are the former holders of Samehada and the Guillotine Sword, two of the original Swordsmen of the Mist. They disappeared several years ago."
"So what are they doing here? And who are those shinobi with them?"
"I don't know but the unknown shinobi used a partial Edo Tensei Justu to recreate the bodies of Minato and Kushina."
Naruto looked at Jiraiya when the toad sannin made an angry growl, "Ero-sennin, who are Minato and Kushina?"
Jiraya grimaced and met Naruto's eyes, "Namikaze Minato was the 4th Hokage and Kushina was his wife."
Naruto looked back at the scene unfolding before them watching the ANBU try to bring down the barrier while the shinobi carefully lifted the recreated bodies out of their coffins and laid them down in front of the two old swordsmen, "I wonder what they have planned?"
"I don't know but we need to be prepared in case they bring back Minato and Kushina as mindless killing machines."
Naruto nodded and looked to his left as Sakura, Sai, and Kakashi landed beside him. Kakashi took in the scene quickly and his face hardened in anger. Sakura tensed as the two old men began performing a jutsu, "Holy Hell."
Everyone looked at her in surprise and Naruto asked, "Sakura?"
She met Naruto's eyes, "Naruto doesn't that jutsu look familiar to you?"
He looked back to the old men and his eyes widened, "Holy shit! Is that Chiyo-baachan's jutsu?"
She nodded, "The one she used on Gaara yes."
Tsunade remembered the report on that mission and choked on air, "You mean they're bringing them back to life? Permanently? With no side effects?"
Sakura nodded and the others turned to watch the scene finish unfolding. The two old men finished channeling all of their chakra into Minato and Kushina with the help of two of the attending shinobi and slumped down dead. The shinobi gathered the dead swordsmen up when the Yondaime and Kushina stirred and then shunshin-ed away letting the barrier fall. Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Team Kakashi lept over to the two waking, former corpses, and Jiraiya crouched in front of Minato. The 4th opened his eyes and said, "Ero-sensei?"
Jiraiya caught Minato up in a fierce hug as Kushina woke to Tsunade's gentle smile. Minato shouted, "Let me go and explain what's going on before I rasengan your head sensei!"
Kushina laughed, "Obviously we've been brought back to life Minato."
The blond man got out of Jiraiya's hug, stood, and began brushing himself off, "I think I got that Shina-chan. Now-" he was interrupted by another pair of arms catching him in a death grip. The fourth Hokage sighed in resignation and patted Kakashi's back, "It's good to see you too Kakashi but could you let me go?"
The silver haired jonin jumped back as if he'd been scalded and tried to locate his dignity. A hopeless attempt when Naruto started laughing at the expression in Kakashi's eye, "Oh man Kakashi-sensei you look like someone just showed a naked baby picture of you!"
Sakura shoved Naruto's shoulder, "Quiet Naruto, he's allowed to be a little disconcerted after seeing his dead sensei brought back to life!"
Both Minato and Kushina's heads whipped towards Naruto at hearing his name and Kushina rose to her feet shakily as Sakura kept scolding Naruto. The redheaded woman got her balance and practically dove at the young blond Kyuubi vessel, catching him in a fierce hug that had Naruto looking like a fish out of water from the shock of a stranger hugging him.
Kushina smoothed his hair and pulled back to look at him, "Oh my baby just look at you, you grew up so handsome."
Naruto was still gaping at the woman, "Huh? W-why did you call me your baby?"
Kushina was now gaping back at the young Uzumaki and Minato growled at Jiraiya and Kakashi, "Would you two mind explaining why my son doesn't know who his mother is!"
Naruto turned his stunned eyes to Minato, "W-what? You mean you're my...and she's your...so that makes her my..."
Minato looked at Naruto, "Yes. I'm your father and Kushina is your mother Naruto."
By this time a great many people had gathered and everyone gasped at the revelation, excepting Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Naruto, who weaved weakly in shock. Sakura snapped into action seeing her honorary little brother so distressed. She laid a gentle hand on the back of his neck, "Take it easy Naruto, just put your head between your knees and concentrate on breathing."
Naruto let her direct him and barely registered his mother fluttering over him. Kushina knelt beside Naruto and gentle stroked his hair worriedly as Minato shot Jiraiya and Kakashi a look that clearly said 'I'll kick your asses later.' and went over to Naruto to lay a hand on his shoulder, "Take it easy son."
Naruto started trembling and Sakura muttered under her breath as his pulse became erratic. Just when it seemed that Naruto would pass out despite Sakura's best efforts, Iruka showed up, "Naruto?! What's wrong?!"
The young Uzumaki looked up and dove at his sensei, crying uncontrollably. Iruka blinked and embraced Naruto comfortingly, "Shh it's okay. I don't know what's happened but it'll be alright Naruto."
Kushina and Minato felt slightly jealous at the fact that Naruto went to Iruka for comfort but Sakura hissed in their ears, "He was completely alone during his childhood except for the man holding him right now. He never even knew who his parents were and he probably thought they'd abandoned him. He doesn't know what to think and he's seeking comfort from the only constant in his life. If you want to be angry be angry at the ones who kept his parentage a secret from him but leave Iruka-sensei alone or you'll blow your chance to get to know your son."
Naruto's parents fell silent and watched their son cry in his sensei's arms then, turned to Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Kakashi. Minato helped his wife stand and very calmly said, "If you don't have a damn good reason why our son had no clue who his parents are I'm going to make you wish you'd never been born."
Kakashi gulped as Iruka looked at him with comprehending eyes that spoke of a serious ass kicking in his near future and the chunin said, "Perhaps it would be better if we relocated to a more private location."
Minato looked at the brunette, impressed with the commanding tone of voice and the glare he was sending the two sannin and Kakashi, and nodded, "I think you're right. The Hokage's office should do for now."
The assorted company of Team Kakashi, the two sannin, Iruka, Minato, and Kushina all teleported to the office. Tsunade sat on her desk and eyed Minato and Kushina warily as did her two co-conspirators in keeping Naruto's parentage a secret. Minato folded his arms across his chest, "Well?" "It was for his protection."
Only Iruka noticed that Naruto stiffened and started trying to get himself under control. Kushina yelled, "His protection?!"
Jiraiya nodded, "Yes, Minato had enemies that would be more than happy to take their vengeance on his son."
Kakashi broke in, "In addition, due to the Kyuubi, the council has thought of Naruto as a possible threat. We were concerned that they would use his heritage as an excuse to take charge of him and turn him into an emotionless weapon."
Naruto's muffled voice broke in, "-om me?"
Tsunade looked over at him, "What?"
He pulled out of Iruka's embrace, tears still flowing from his furious eyes, "I said why did you keep it from me?! How did letting me believe that my parents had hated me just as much as the rest of the village and abandoned me protect me?!"
Tsunade looked away shamed by the pain in Naruto's eyes. Jiraiya spoke, "You'd never have been able to keep from sharing who your parents were."
Naruto turned his gaze to the toad sage, "Maybe when I was a kid but I'm not a kid anymore! Not once in the two and a half years you trained me did you ever even hint at who my parents were even when I practically begged you to tell me!"
Now Jiraiya averted his gaze from Naruto's and the blond turned to Kakashi who met his gaze steadily, "I didn't think you needed to know that your own father sealed Kyuubi in you."
Naruto grit his teeth, "What choice did he have? Even if other children had been born that day how in hell could he have asked another parent to do what he wasn't willing to?! Do you honestly think I'm so stupid I'd hate my own father for doing what he had to to protect Konoha?! I never blamed him for sealing Kyuubi into me! Why would finding out that he was my father change that?! If anything it makes me even prouder of him! He gave up everything to protect Konoha, so much more than his own life!"
Naruto spun and lept out of the office window before Kakashi could react. Minato and Kushina made to go after him but were stopped by Sakura's gentle hands on their arms, "Don't. He need to be alone right now."
Naruto's parents nodded and turned to face Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Kakashi intending to rip them to shreds verbally but stopped short when they saw their expressions. Naruto's reaction to their excuses for keeping the secret of his parents from him hurt them much more than anything Minato or Kushina could say or do. Minato turned to Iruka, "From what I could gather I take it that the village did not honor my final request that Naruto be regarded as a hero?"
Iruka met the blue eyes of the Yondaime,"That's correct. Though he has changed the opinion of many he has not had an easy time of it."
Kushina hugged herself, "Oh my poor baby."
Minato draped an arm around her shoulders and asked Iruka, "Would you be willing to sit with us and tell us about our son?"
The chunin smiled, "Of course. Would you mind if Sakura joined us," he nodded at the pinkette, "She's his teammate and can tell you more about his behavior on missions."
Naruto's parents smiled and Minato suggested, "Could we relocate to Ichiraku? I haven't had ramen in forever."
Minato and Kushina were very confused by the way Iruka, Sai, and Sakura laughed at that.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Naruto slammed into his apartment like a fox retreated to it's den when being hunted and slid down to the floor. He leaned against the entryway wall and looked down as his hand hit a piece of parchment. he looked down and saw another envelope addressed to him. He picked the envelope up and opened it to read the letter.
Merry Christmas again Naruto-koi. I will confess to being unsure as to how my most recent present will be received. I know you grew up with out your parents and I researched their identities to discover if they were worth your attention. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that your father was the very man who sacrificed himself to protect Konoha and your mother was the only surviving Uzumaki from the now gone Whirlpool Country. I hope you already knew this as I have no desire to cause you pain or confusion, I only want to make you happy. Therefore in the hopes that you would like to get to know your parents, I sent two of my old retainers and several of my shinobi to resurrect your parents. I hope this gives you more joy than pain but if that is not the case, when you see me I will gladly apologize and accept any punishment you wish to mete out. Once again, Merry Christmas from your Secret Santa.
Naruto sighed and folded the letter up. He probably should be angry but he couldn't muster up the fury. How could he be angry at someone who so obviously wanted to make him happy. He stood and stripped on the way to his bedroom, the day had been exhausting and he needed to sleep on what had happened so he could deal with the fact that he now had parents with clear eyes. As he drifted off to sleep, he thought of his secret santa and wondered how the man planned to top this particular impossible feat.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The young lord read the report on the success of the old swordsmen's mission to resurrect Naruto's parents, "And you put their bodies to rest near Kiri?"
A shinobi bent his head in respect, "Yes my lord."
Another shinobi entered the room and knelt before the young lord, "My lord the preparations are complete for the assault."
The man nodded and retrieved his weapons before dismissing the other shinobi and going out in the courtyard to address his soldiers, "This mission will be dangerous and the odds of survival are low. Those of you who wish not to risk losing your lives may leave, I will hold no ill will towards you for doing so."
The small army of shinobi murmered amongst themselves before one man shouted up to the young lord, "Sir we are ready and willing to fight to the death for you! After all if it hadn't been for you we would have all died long ago. You have our loyalty, our bodies, and we will lay down our lives for you!"
Every shinobi in the courtyard shouted their agreement and the young lord nodded, "Then let us move out and destroy our enemy."

Okay just so you lovely people know what was being babbled about here's a glossery for the Japanese words, if anyone fluent in Japanese reads this and spots an incorrect translation by all means correct me, I don't mind. teme= a very rude way of saying 'you', typically translated to bastard, baka= stupid, nee-chan= big sister, hebi= snake, kisama= bastard, nii-san= big brother, otouto= little brother Sayonara= Goodbye hime= princess Ja ne= Later Baa-chan= Granny Edo Tensei= reanimation Ero-sensei= pervy teacher Ero-sennin= pervy sage or pervey hermit Kay there you go. So how many people did I surprise with my little resurrection twist and was this chapter worth the wait? I didn't write out the scene between Kurenai and Yamato because I wanted to focus on the dead people and because I'm only gonna write major makeout scenes that are yaoi or maybe starring Anko and Kurenai and Yamato did more than just make out in my original version. Now I'm gonna go I'll see you lovely people next update. Ja ne!
