Silent laughter

Inner battles

*Naruto's POV

I grumbled as I rolled over in bed every thing hurt. Sauske's Jutsu must have done more damage then I thought. I opened my eyes to find myself in a room other then my own. I looked up to see a clock hanging on the wall. It said that the time was 8 am.

'Damn I slept in' I yelled at myself as I tried to sit up. My stomach tightened up with the rest of my body

"Ow ow ow" I Said as I winced in pain holding my stomach. I was able to sit up and lean against the metal bar across the back of the bed. I was in the hospital.

'How long have I been out' I thought as I heard someone talking outside the door. The first person to walk through the door was my dad.

"Hey Naruto hows it going" Dad asked sitting in a chair by the door. I shrugged my shoulders not wanting to show any weakness around him.

"How are you feeling today" he asked

(Alright) I said. He knew I was lying and continued to stare at me

"It hurt...s a li....ttle" I said shrugging it off like it was nothing.

"A little?" He questioned

"A lot" I said wincing in pain as I moved around a little.

"Naruto was it Sasuke?" He asked. My silence answered his question. We both sat there in silence until I spoke up

(How long was I out) I asked

"Four days" he said. I could see that something was bothering him

(What's wrong) I asked worried that it was about me

"Asuma is dead" he said showing no emotion

(Oh) was all I was able to say. I thought back to all the good time I had with team 10 and Asuma

(How is team 10 holding up) I asked worried about my friends

"They are out on a mission right now" he said.

(How could you) I yelled at him with a tear coming to my eye

"That's is what is the cover up is. Team 10 along with Kakashi are out there trying to avenge his death" he said. Silence filled the room again as I thought about them trying to fight the Akaski without me.

(I need to go help them) I said trying to get out of bed. I threw my legs out from under the covers and all the feeling in my body was gone. I fell back into bed screaming out in pain.

"You can't move most of your muscles nerves have been messed up or fried. You should be dead but thanks to the nine tails healing you it is possible for you to recover but you need some well deserved rest" he said putting me back on the bed

'Damn it Sasuke' I thought as I gritted my teeth in anger.

"Rest Naruto That is an order" dad said walking out the door.

"Dad" I called out to him before he left. He turned back around and looked at me. His eyes were filled with disappointment

(Never mind) I mouthed worried that if I tried to speak he would hear my sadness

'I messed up' I thought lying spread eagle on the hospital bed. Tears were now streaming out of both of my eyes. I don't know if they were from the pain of the anger or the fear. I was afraid. Afraid that he dad lost all faith in me that I could control my anger, my rage, my fear. It still burns every time I see it. The sharingan. Still haunts me every time I close my eyes. I sat in bed thinking about that past few days before dad came back in

"Feeling any better"

(No) I told him looking down at the covers

"Well I have some food-" he began to say before I interrupted him

"Dad...what ha...ppened... the ni...ght Mom... died?"

*Minato's POV

The one question I hoped he would never ask me. The new night Kushina died. I sat down knowing that there was no way to avoid this conversation any longer actually I am surprised I have gone 15 years without him asking. I took a deep breath in before I spoke

"On October tenth fifteen years ago your mother was in the process of giving birth to you when a man in an orange mask appeared and grabbed you while I was tightening the seal on the nine tails that at the time was inside your mother" I said trying to control my tears "I was able to get you and your mother away but he had already extracted the nine tails using his Sharingan. I fought the man while the third Hokage sealed the nine tails into you. He got away leaving me suspecting that the Ichiha were behind the attack. I knew of a young man in ROOT who had the ability to control the nine tails. I sent ANBU to bring him in for questioning, but when they returned they said that he had killed himself and that Itachi had escaped. Years later Itachi came back to the village killing his whole clan and you know the history from there" I said wiping the tears from my eyes

"Dad" Naruto said. I looked up to see that he was crying to. I got up and walked over to him pulling him into a hug

"I'm sorry all your pain is my fault" I said pulling him in tighter

"No... it's not...your fault" he said while crying. We kept hugging until I could feel Naruto since from me grabbing him to hard. I let go laughing as I whipped away the teas from my face. Naruto was laughing as well but after a few seconds of laughing he winced. Which made me laugh harder

"Get some rest" I said walking out of the room leaving Naruto alone
