Runaway Shinobi

Chapter 22 The Cursed Child

"I don't understand." Sasuke whispered tears threatening to fall from his eyes, I'm surprised he managed to last this long the others where full out crying. "Naruto was happy so why? Why does this song make me think of him."

"Cause he was never really happy." I told them when I felt the curse mark act up. I changed bodies yes but of course that stupid Orochimaru had to go and give me another one. I resisted the urge to collapse, I wasn't aware that my puppet body could feel pain. "He faked it." I grunted gritting my teeth. "He never really was happy. He tried to hide it and succeeded because this stupid village never understood him." I told them my voice beginning to go demonic. I could feel the curse mark making its way up my face as the strange symbols and markings spreading across the right side of my face, however you couldn't tell because my hair was covering it.

"Takashi." Makoto muttered as if he could sense what was happening. "We have to go." I nodded and suddenly collapsed onto my knees Gaara rushed forward helping me up slinging my arm over his shoulder. We began walking back towards our apartment leaving the Konoha 12 behind.

"Wait!" Sakura shouted and we stopped not turning around. "What's wrong with him? Maybe I can help." I slowly stood in my own two feet pushing Gaara away, though he seemed skeptical. I turned around,

"Help? I don't think that you'll be able to help."

"I-I can help I've been training under our Hokage Tsunade to be a medic! I can help just come here!" I refused and I guess Sakura got tired of waiting as she ran over to me laying me down in the ground. The hair covering my face fell to the ground and I closed my eyes, the markings now visible everyone gasped. Sasuke out his hand over his own neck his eyes widening.

"A curse mark." Sasuke muttered and everyone nodded.

"That means...." Sakura started not daring to finish, though Sasuke finished for her.

"Orochimaru. That dang snake. I'll kill him!"

"Why? I'm just a stranger after all. You don't even know me." I was confused, why help me? I was just a stranger to them.

"I have my own grudge against the snake, but I won't let him go harm anybody else! I don't care if you're just a stranger here in Konoha we have the will of fire."

"The will of fire?" I asked the curse marks finally completely covering my face as my voice took on a demonic tone. "I'm nothing more than a cursed child. Born into hate I never had any freedom. Parents kept their children away I wasn't aloud to have friends." They all gasped, chattering amongst themselves they were glad that they didn't know anyone like that. Oh how foolish, they never saw my pain, no one did. "Feel free to do what you want it doesn't concern me." I told them struggling to sit back up as my voice began returning to normal.

"You shouldn't move, we have to get this curse mark sealed."

"I agree." A new voice spoke and everyone turned to see Kakashi standing there beside me.

"Kakashi Hatake the famous copy nin."

"Yes, now you'll be coming with me Takashi." I grunted still sitting on the ground. Kakashi leaned forward picking me up and putting me on his back. "Why don't you guys show Makoto around some more while I take care of him?" Kakashi suggested and the others nodded walking towards Makoto.

We were now in a room and I was sitting cross legged on the floor. My shirt was gone, who knows where I put it. "All right I'll began now." I nodded and Kakashi made a few hand signs muttering a few words before slamming his palms down onto my chest where the curse mark was. I let out a scream and Kakashi removed his hand as a spiral seal appeared around the mark sealing it away. Right as I was about to fall unconscious I muttered a few words.

"T-thank y-you Kakashi." I whispered my voice completely normal now. I fell back and closed my eyes succumbing to the darkness.

I awoke and looked around to see I was in a hospital. In a seat beside the wall apposite side of my bed was surprisingly Tsunade, no Makoto in sight. I slowly sat up and groaned removing the IV's and other wires as I leaned against the headboard. The heart monitor suddenly flatlined, due to me removing the wire and Tsunade's eyes flung open as she looked at me. "Hey brat what do you think you're doing? Don't remove those!" She shouted and I smiled swinging my legs over the side,

"I-I'm fine though." I told her still smiling, Tsunade sighed. "Anyways what are you doing here Hokage-sama?" I asked and saw her look at me seriously.

"I wished to speak to you, I'd prefer if it were in my office, because it's more secure, but you were injured so I came here."

"Well... technically I wasn't injured I just had my curse mark sealed. So we can take his to your office." Tsunade nodded and I stood up before blushing realizing I was in a hospital gown. I quickly rushed over to a cabinet grabbed my clothes then ran into the bathroom locking the door behind me as I heard Tsunade laughing on the other side. I slipped into a pair of black pants, a black long sleeved high collared shirt with a white lining that buttoned up in the left side. I also put on a cream colored scarf that had a gem on the left side connecting it letting the two ends of the scarf hang over my shoulders. (He's wearing what Lawless wore when he was with Ophelia) I also had a sword strapped to my waist. I walked out and saw Tsunade looking at me weirdly.

"Why are you wearing that? It looks so... so weird." I shrugged, it was comfortable and made me look so smexy. "Anyways come with me." I nodded and we headed towards her office. "Why are you here?" She asked and I raised an eyebrow,

"You know why, so that I can become a ninja agin and avenge my families deaths."

"I'll repeat my question, why are you here... Naruto?"

A/N I'm sorry I finished servamp and I loved the outfit Lawless wore with Ophelia so I decided that would be Naruto's new forever outfit.
