Chereads / The Masked Uzamaki / Chapter 22 - Aftermath

Chapter 22 - Aftermath

Naruto awakens in a familiar room. It was a hospital room. He's seen this way to many times for a kid his age. He sees a blank white room hears people outside but feels soar. "I dont feel like I can move anything." Naruto says as he tries to pick up his arm.

"Awake I see." A voice came from the door.

"Shijo? What happened? I remember pinning the Uchiha against a rock but I blacked out after and gained cautiousness at the hate of the village." Naruto explained as he held his head.

"We dont know exactly what happened but the aftermath of what happened is troubling. The Hidden Leaf know your identity now. The village wants to attack us mostly because of the council. The reason they haven't is because we have a treaty." Shijo explained.

"That's not good. I had a whole plan set up. Now this." Naruto held his head.

"You're not gonna be able to use chakra for a while either. You've exhausted your body to much to. If you keep doing stupid shit like that you'll end up dying. May I suggest taking a lot of wives and having children early?" Shijo said sitting a cup next to Naruto.

"No. I'm not starting a harem. It takes a lot of love out of relationships and people get jealous kickly." Naruto reaching for the cup but couldn't reach it before his arm gave out.

"Fine. I suggest looking for a candidate to be your wife though. You'll eventually need to make children to revive your blood line anyway."Shijo said grabbing the cup and placing it to Narutos mouth.

(Gulp) "That taste like a frogs toilet. What was it?" Naruto asked keeping whatever he drank down.

"I dont know. One of the medic ninjas we managed to find suggested to drink it." Shijo explained.

"What am I gonna do about the Leaf. No point in a mask anymore I guess. Shame I really liked it." Naruto pouted.

"There is also more troubling news. I've picked up wind of a group called the Akatskui. They are imparently capturing and collecting Bijju for some reason. They are all around S rank fighters, but a couple more years of training and you'll reach them...eventually." Shijo said leaving the room.

Naruto closed his eyes before hearing a slight squeak but knew who it was immeadiatly due to the smell of the bath house. "What do you want Pervert?" Naruto asked opening his eyes to Jiraiya by the window.

"Wow. To think all this time you where hiding out here. Even my spy network couldn't figure it out even though it's one of the most obvious spots." Jiraiya said stepping foward.

"Not all the time. I traveled a lot." Naruto said as he blankly stared at the old man.

"Well I'm not here to fight. The only reason I was at that fight is because I picked up wind of Saskue getting captured and then felt a powerful chakra signature. Actually a lot of people did. Thoughts fools thought it was the second coming of the Nine Tailed Fox." Jiraiya chuckled.

"What do you want? Did they send you here to kill me?" Naruto asked weakly clenchimg his fist.

"No. Though the council isn't happy about it. They can't attack you because of the treaty and the word of the Daimyo. Tsunade also kept them from them waging war against you." Jiraiya explained.

"Then what the hell do you want?" Naruto asked putting his fist to ease.

"I want to take you away from this place for a while. Two or three years. I saw what you where capable of when it came to your infinities. Especially mixed with the Nine Tails in it." Jiraiya offered.

"Why would I do that?" Naruto asked.

"Whem we where fighting you where able to defend Jonnin, Gamabunta, and occasionally me until that last attack just because of your cloak thing you made. With my help and years of experience you will be able to master it." Jiraiya said confidently.

"So you think power will make me want to join you? I'm not an Uchiha. You think after what I've been through and to find out you where my fathers teacher and my godfather that you can come to me only to offer power? Go fuck yourself." Naruto said angrily.

"That's the other reason to." Jiraiya said with his head down.

"Hm." Naruto said looking at him.

"This will also to say sorry in my failure to help you on your time of need. Please let me do this." Jiraiya said as he looked at Naruto sternly.

"Fine. I want to know everything you know. No peeping, not flirting, not porn books, and no bars. Just us training, eating, and sleeping." Naruto layed down the rules.

"Fine. If that's what's to be done." Jiraiya agreed.

"Oh Gaara is coming with us." Naruto threw in.

"What about the other guy?" Jiraiya asked.

"No. Shijo is capable in training himself. He'll be fine." Naruto responded.

"I'll come back in a week." Jiraiya said jumping out of the window.

"Fine. Now my main focus. Getting that sword fixed." Naruto said outloud as the sun set in the sky fully.
