Try Again (Naruto Fanfic)

3

Third Person

1000 milliseconds in a second, 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in a hour. Naruto could feel how the seconds and hours were going by so slowly as they made their way back to the village. He was not in the greatest of moods as of right now and neither was his tailed beast, him and Kurama was pretty damn angry on how someone tried to separate them one another. Clicking his teeth, he pushed off to another branch as they picked up their pace. Naruto didn't understand who wanted the tailed beast, if you all wanted to have them freed then what was the point of sealing them in a person?

Taking a deep breath, Naruto glanced up to the sky. He would give anything to cloud watch with Shikamaru and Choji at this moment, but he knew that would go down the drain. He could feel something was going to happen but couldn't tell if it was good or bad, he sigh lowly as he looked over to Fu. She, herself, looked tired. Even though the fight was small and quick, it attacked their other chakra source which is one with theirs. After another four to five hours, they made it back to the leaf village.

The feeling in Naruto's stomach got tighter and Naruto stopped walking. He could feel the hair on the back of his neck stand up, his hands begin to get sweaty and his eyes flashed with nervousness. Looking back, Shikamaru raised an eyebrow "You okay Naruto?" Shikamaru asked and everyone else looked back to Naruto. "I-I don't know... I've had this feeling for a little bit but I ignored it, but the moment we got back to the village it tightened." Naruto spoke as he gripped his shirt. Shikamaru frowned and walked towards Naruto, "It's probably nothing you idiot. You're overthinking." Sakura spoke as she rolled her eyes but Naruto ignored her as he stared at the hokage tower.

Shikamaru grabbed Naruto's hand which caused Naruto's eyes to dart to him, "If anything happens, I am right here okay?" Shikamaru spoke and Naruto smiled slightly and nodded his head. "He isn't the only one." Choji said as him, Ino, Fu, and Team 8 smiled at him. Naruto heart swelled with happiness as he nodded slightly. "Alright then, let us continue." As the group reached the hokage tower, Naruto gripped Shikamaru's hand tighter and Shikamaru squeezed it. Kakashi knocked on the door and the voices in the room quiet down. "Come in." Tsunade spoke and the group walked into the room. Shikamaru continued to hold Naruto hands in reassures and Naruto was glad.

They all noticed the four figures that was standing behind Tsunade and were confused on who they were. "Report." Kakashi nodded and begin to explain what had happen as Naruto gazed at the four figures. He could feel the chakra of the four and knew right then and there that nobody in this room stood a chance against them. "EXCUSE ME, WHAT?" Tsunade yelled and Kakashi laughed nervously as he adverted his eye to somewhere else. "Naruto?!" Tsunade gritted out and Naruto snapped his eyes to his godmother.

"Huh? What happen?" He asked and Tsunade raised an eyebrow "You attack the person that wanted Fu and almost died?" She asked and Naruto also laughed nervously. Tsunade sigh to herself as she ran her fingers through her hair "I swear you act to much like your mother. You Uzumaki's and you'll recklessness." Tsunade mutter as Naruto and the cloak figures snorted "You're a Uzumaki as well Baa-chan." "Even if its half." One of the figures muttered.

Tsunade blushed in embarrassment. "Whatever, I'm glad you all are safe. But I have a feeling you all have questions. More or less the two members of team 7 and team 9." The five nodded as they took a step up. "Why did they attack Naruto?" TenTen asked and Tsunade closed her eyes as she placed her hands over her mouth. Sasuke shook his head "Scratch that. Why the hell did the Kyuubi form over his head?" Neji and Sakura nodded their head at Sasuke questions. Tsunade glanced at Naruto to see him staring at the four people behind her.

"Naruto." Tsunade called softly and Naruto put his eyes on Tsunade. He heard the questions that was asked and sigh. He clenched his other hand that wasn't holding Shikamaru's and closed his eyes. "You don't have to tell them. It is your secret to keep." Tsunade assured but Naruto shook his head "It's fine, if anything like earlier was to happen again then they deserve the right to know." Naruto spoke as he opened his eyes and looked at his peers.
