Hello people I am back, here is the new chapter I hope you like it!
A week had passed and Naruto continued to believe the words he had spoken though the actions of his teammates confused him. Everyday both of them would come to check up on him and Sakura would bring a new flower every day. The Hokage continued her interrogation while looking for the source of Naruto's current state, though no leads have been discovered.
"Hokage-sama with all due respect but why must I go through check ups every hour of every day, I believe my mental stability is just fine, if you do not trust me then place a seal on me and let me be on my way, its boring to stay here not being able to leave." Naruto stated to the Hokage who was currently examining the blonde's chakra patterns.
"Is that what you truly want me to do Naruto? I believe even a prisoner would not ask to have a seal placed upon them. Tell me? I have not sealed off your exit nor have I posted guards at your door, so then why haven't you tried to leave? Leave the village as well I mean if we treat you like a tool then for what reason should you stay? Surely there are other villages out there who would treat you kinder." The Hokage responded stopping her examination to Naruto in the eyes.
"That's because I…Lately everyone has been so kind to me, I want to leave, I never been given this opportunity before, and the seal that normally controls me is gone but I still for some reason feel guilty about leaving…" Naruto replied with a sullen look on his face.
"I'll come back in an hour to check on you, meanwhile please get some rest, I'm going to try and break whatever genjutsu is on you when I come back." The Hokage stated before leaving the door open a crack when she left the room.
"Hokage sama! Are you alright?" An Anbu asked concerned.
"Yes I am fine, see no damage done." The Hokage replied holding her hands up to show the Anbu that she was fine.
"But he tapped into kyuubi's chakara. Perhaps we should start being more cautious, he wanted to kill you."
"Silence! I am fine, he didn't do anything, Naruot won't try to attack me, he wouldn't, something is controlling him." Tsunade yelled at the Anbu her shoulders shaking in frustration.
"Understood Hokage-sama, but the second he tries to attack I wont have any choice but to kill him." The Anbu replied.
"I know that…I know" Tsunade responded with dejection in her voice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You refrained from killing her? Why?" A demanding voice asked Naruto.
"It's you again? You're the one who did…whatever you did to me, leave me alone." Naruto glared at no one in particular.
"Sorry but I can't do that you see you have something that belongs to me and until you realize that and give it back I'm not going to leave you alone." The voice said mockingly.
"You stole my memories, the truth, give them back!" Naruto demanded
"Now that's not very nice, I didn't change your memories at all, no, It's your Hokage who is manipulating you now, perhaps that is why you didn't kill her even though your hand was shaking begging you to let it rip her throat out." The voice continued to tease.
"SHUT UP!" Naruto yelled at the voice placing his clawed hands over his ears in order to shut the voice out.
"OH Ho, see you even brought your claws out, I'm impressed you didn't kill her, though you should have, after what she and the village has done to you, I doubt she will let her guard down around you for much longer, seeing as though her plan isn't working that well."
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! Your WRONG leave me alone!" Naruto curled himself into a ball still attempting to shut the voice out.
"Such useless emotions you have, if you want I can get rid of them for you, you won't have to worry anymore, I would take care of you and care for you, I do love you, and I could make this all better if you would just call out my name. It hurts doesn't it, You are confused in what you are supposed to do, you want to kill them but at the same time protect them, its tearing you apart and both cause you such agony, If you would just give in to me I could make it all better, I could tell you what is right and wrong, you would only have to listen to me and In return I will make sure you are never discomforted." The voice preached.
"You could make this pain go away?" Naruto asked uncurling from his position slightly.
"That's right all you have to do is call me" The voice edged on in a soft tone.
A long silence ensued
"But I don't even know who you are." Naruto asked dumfounded.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Then I'm afraid there is nothing I can do for you, until you submit to me and let me lead you, let me protect and save you, there is nothing I can do but watch as you writhe in agony over right and wrong. The Human side of you wishes to protect that around you while the demon side only wishes to destroy, Only I can bring peace to both sides of your soul, it pains me Naruto-Chan, to see you in such pain…hurry up and call me, I'll be waiting for you." With that the voice faded away leaving Naruto to his own confused thoughts.
"Wait who are you!?…please, make it stop!" Naruto cried out.
"Naruto! I heard you scream are you all right, is the pain back!?" Sakura rushed in dropping the flower she had been holding in favor of checking on the boy huddled up on the bed.
Sasuke pushed passed the girl and gathered the cowering boy in his arms holding on tight.
"Whatever is bothering you don't worry about it, I won't let anything happen to you." Sasuke stated.
Naruto buried his head in his teammate's chest feeling the warmth of a hug spread through him slowly calming him.
"Why?" Was all Naruto managed to get out.
"Do you even have to ask Naruto? It's because we are your friends." Sakura stated walking over to the flower she dropped earlier and gently brushing it off before placing it in the vase with the others.
"Please don't leave, I don't care if you are just pretending…but don't leave not right now." Naruto begged to his two teammates.
"Don't worry we weren't planning on going anywhere." Sasuke re-assured his friend watching as Naruto fell into a comforted sleep.
"It's rare for you to act this way Sasuke." Sakura stated addressing her raven haired teammate.
"Which way would that be Sakura?" Sasuke asked feeling slightly annoyed.
"Caring, I have never seen you like this before." Sakura stated feeling slightly depressed.
"I think that maybe I might have always cared, but it's only now I can realize it, I can't loose him." Sasuke explained looking at Sakura slowly.
"Heh then again I have never seen Naruto looking so helpless either, I mean he has always been so strong, we never really had to worry about him before, but now…"Sakura drawled off.
"I know, what you mean, here." Sasuke stated handing Naruto over to Sakura.
"What? Don't you want to hold him a little longer? Its not often this chance comes around, normally you have to rely on his clumsiness!" Sakura mocked.
Sasuke's eyes twitched as he responded with a "Whatever" and Sakura giggled taking Naruto from Sasuke and resting her blonde haired teammates head in her lap. They spent the next hour in silence until Tsunade came back in to once again check on Naruto.
