Return of The Uzumaki Clan

Wave Arc 4

(Third Person POV)

"So Sakura, what do you wanna know?" Naruto asked. Sakura having a chance to know him better starts to think of a question to start with. "When did you start pretending to be someone else?" Naruto started to think when he did. "I believe it was when I was 5 honestly." Sakura surprised that he was able to hide himself that early in his life and how good it was. "As long as it doesn't let your secret out, can I know why you started to hide that early in life?" Sakura nervously asked. Naruto sighing responded "Lets just say the village didn't want me to be strong or smart for them. If you want to know more and talk about it, then start searching." Sakura appalled for what the villagers were like, decided to finish that question their. She knows right now, Naruto won't continue with anymore questions related to that. 

"What is your actual dream Naruto? I remember in the past you kept saying 'you will be the Hokage' to the point that it almost became your catchphrase but now I'm not sure." Now that was a question he knew but didn't know if he can tell her. It could be something that can impede his plans but at the same time deep in his heart, he wants someone to know some of his plans. "I-I w-want to revive my clan that was betrayed. I want to make it as strong as it was before or even more. I want to have a family...something I never had ever. It's something that seems weird and funny for you or anyone that has had a family before but for me, Its like I was starved from it since I was young. I already know I will have to be with other women to be my wifes but I want them to be happy and share as much love as I can...." 

Sakura hearing what he was saying, noticed how hollow it sounded when he started talking about having a family. It almost sounded like he didn't believe he will have one. 'What did he go through to actually think he won't have a family or that anyone would love him?' She just closes her eyes for a bit and breathes in and out slowly. Opening her eyes Naruto notices some clarity in them. "Naruto, I may not know you as I should but you do deserve a family and love. You deserve love as much as you can from what I heard. Just be patient, I know you will find them ok?" Sakura after saying that gave Naruto a hug who started to tear up after hearing someone say that to him for a long time since Hinata. It just felt....real to him. For most of his life he still believed he was in a nightmare from all the pain he went through. The panic attacks he gets and nightmares every night never helped his conscious and self-esteem. 

He didn't know how to respond to her hug so he had his arms on his side letting her hug him as he still had tears fall. After a few minutes she lets go and it seems some type of bond was built between them slowly. Sakura relieved and happy a bit decided to go back to the rest since she didn't exactly tell them where she was going. Naruto saying goodbye decides to now continue his mission. 

(Timeskip Nighttime)

Its now the night, and Naruto is getting close to the base where all the thugs that serve Gato are staying at. They have 2 guards that are station in 3 entrances blocking the conventional way of entering. Naruto cleverly, already has a few clones acting as guards and one of them goes to Naruto in the woods. "Everything set?" asked Naruto. "Yes boss, all the traps are set and we are all ready at the entrances if any get a chance to leave." "good lets get ready to start in 15 minutes ok?" "Yes boss!" After the clone left, Naruto goes to the the only clone that is with an actual thug. With a swift kill from the clone, Naruto goes to the thug and transforms into him and wait. 

What the clones have done is they have set explosive tags around the base hidden from view, they have let trap seals that either paralyze, poison, and freeze any who get close to them. 15 Minutes later, and there was a large explosion that destroyed the base completely. There were a few thugs that were outside and were trying to escape, only for them to get killed by kunai and shuriken that was thrown at them. Finally after destroying the base, Naruto releases the silencing seals that were surrounding the area and starts heading back.
