Chapter 38

Many Faces Of A Namikaze

Hana Inuzuka was in a state of shock, she couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing. She was a war veteran, one of the best Blackops soldiers of Konoha, had seen the deaths of her friends Yugao and Aoba, and yet she still couldn't stop the tears falling from her eyes.

This couldn't be happening, this was not FUCKING supposed to happen!

Her feelings were equally shared by the fellow Blacklight standing beside her, many of the female Blacklight were on the verge of tears while the men were in a state of shock.

Her eyes shifted towards the sky which had turned bright red, the sun was setting in the deep end of the sea and taking with it one of the most bravest and caring person she had ever met.

She saw Izumo coming towards her and before she knew it, the boy embraced her in a warm hug knocking her out of her shock.

"Naruto's dead..."

His voice was so weak and fragile, this was not the calm and cool Izumo she knew. But she could understand his pain, Naruto, Armin, Kotetsu, Mikasa and Shizune were his closest friends.

And now 3 of them were dead, while the other 2 were on the verge of death...or they may even be dead by now.

That left him all alone in this war, even she was worried about Anko but that woman won't die so easily, but...

"Phoenix is dead..."

"The enemy got the skipper..."

"How did the Nidaime die?"

"Where the fuck were you Genma?"

The entire company erupted into similar cries, the soldiers were mad, confused, hurt, angry, and most of all they were not able to believe that the man who defeated two tailed beasts, the man who led them to victory against 4000 enemy troops, that the man who led them to victory on this island of Kiri now lay dead on its sands with a fucking hole in his chest.

Hana saw Naruto's body lying there on the beach, Rangiku was sitting beside him and the girl's eyes clearly showed she was not going to let him go anytime soon.

While Genma and his clone were busy keeping the other Blacklight away from the body, as the soldiers laid tons of protest and accusation on him for failing to protect Naruto.

She gently embraced Izumo as the boy wept on her shoulders, her hands comfortingly rubbed his back.

Naruto was not just a soldier or a commander to these Blacklight, he was a friend, a brother. Each and every person in Ghost company looked up to him, they knew no matter what happened as long as he was with them no fucking enemy or even their own commanders could lay a finger on them.

He was the person who was holding all of them together in this cruel war, where every day they lost so many of their friends.

She still remembered that moment...

(Flashback: Few Hours Ago- Miyasato Island)

Hana crashed on the ground as another exploding tag landed near her taking 2 of her comrades with it. Kunai and shuriken were flying everywhere, along with sand and the screams of the dead and dying.

She was assigned to 1st company, those unfortunate soldiers who were leading the charge under Naruto's command. Her only comforting thought was Naruto was with them.
