Things we do for love

Chapter 8

For a few moments, there was pin-drop silence. Then the scroll container in Kakashi's hand broke and blood started dripping.

"KAKASHI NII SAN!" yelled Naruto as he rushed to him.

"Sorry, I just became angry," said Kakashi.

"Where are they right now?" asked Yugito. She too was hated by villagers. But never had she been tortured like that. She had completed many missions, as she was a genin, and was taken hostage many times too, but her enemies never stooped to that level.

"The three chunin are dead, and the civilians are in jail," said Kakashi, gritting his teeth.

"H... how are yo... how can you be so cheerful after an experience like that?" asked Raikage.

"Jiji. As long as old man is there, I can never feel hopeless. Plus Kakashi nii chan also always helped me in his anbu mask as dog," said Naruto.

"Don't... don't you feel like killing everyone?" asked Yugito. She always felt like that. She just wanted to run away, she wanted to make them know her pain.

"I want them to acknowledge me. I don't want to kill them. I know they hate me, but I also know their pain. Many lost their loved ones, and they wanted to channel their hate. So they made me their medium. It's not their fault," said Naruto.

"How can you say it's not their fault?" asked Yugito aggressively.

"What do you love?" asked Naruto.

"My life as shinobi," said Yugito.

"If during chunin exam, your opponent accidentally cripples you causing your career as shinobi to end, who will you blame for your injury?" asked Naruto.

"My... opponent," said Yugito.

"Even if it wasn't their fault?" asked Naruto.

"I... for some time, yes," said Yugito with hesitation. It was true after all. Even though accidents happen, everyone always blames someone.

"That's the point. Even though things happen accidentally, they blame someone," said Naruto.

"How are you able to go through all this?" asked Yugito tearfully.

"I know people don't believe in me. That's why. I want to change them, I want to turn their hate into love. I have already turned some people's. And the faith that they have in me is much greater than they have in others. It works that way only. The greater the hate is, the more love it will change into. Same way, the greater the love is, the more hate it will turn into," said Naruto.

"He got knowledge of a sage, don't judge the kid by his age, oh yeah," said B.

"Yeah, Octopops," said Naruto as everyone sweat-dropped.

"We just met I know, but the name's cool yo," replied B.

"Kids," muttered Yugito.

"Nii chan, I am going to sleeeeeep..." said Naruto as he fainted.

"NARUTO!" yelled Kakashi.

"He must have suffered from chakra exhaustion due to summoning me here. I am going back and I will refill his chakra," said Kurama as he vanished in smoke.

"So young but such spirit," said Raikage.

'Kind of reminds me of Minato and Kushina. It's good he is more like his father, Kushina was just so scary,' thought Raikage as shivers went up his spine.

"What happened Brotha?" asked B.

"Nothing, I just remembered his scary mother," said Raikage.

"Scary?" asked Yugito.
