Chapter 11: A Letter
Naruto saw several masked anbu inspecting Sakura's house. He turned his
head and looked over at Yahiko. He quickly whispered, "Go find Kagome."
With those words Y ahiko vanished.
The fifth approached several of the anbu and began to talk, but N aruto could
not make out the words. Naruto walked over to the only anbu not masked, N eji.
"Neji, what is going on?" asked Naruto.
"There is no sign of forced entry," said Neji, it was obvious that he
wasn't talking to Naruto.
"Neji !!"
"There has been reports of trouble, we haven't entered the house yet,
it could be booby-trapped." Naruto didn't care, he proceeded to the door and slow ly
turned the door knob. Neji placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder. N aruto looked into
those violent white eyes.
"Not yet, five more minutes..." Several minutes later several of the
anbu shouted out clear. Naruto ran into the house and Neji followed, the fifth remained
outside.
Inside it was a disaster, the walls had holes, furniture was broken, there was a
struggle. The debris covered everything and then he saw it, a torn up red jacket, V ash's.
Naruto picked it up and clenched it in his hand. W hy Vash, why, thought Naruto.
"There are bullet casings in here," said Neji, in his right hand he held
a bullet casing. Naruto recognized that casing. A anbu appeared and whispered into
Neji's ear.
"Naruto, w e thin w e can find Sakura and Sasuske," said Neji.
"What do you mean ?" asked Naruto.
"Sasuske didn't report in and Sakura was suppose to show up at
headquarters for some business ."
"Why didn't you tell me this ."
"Don't get mad at me, inside the kitchen there is a note, I've been
told it is addressed to you." Naruto turned around and ran towards the hole that separated
the living room from the kitchen. In there he found yet another anbu.
The anbu saluted him and said, "Naruto, sir, all is cleared. On the
fridge you shall find your letter." The anbu strolled passed him and went into the other
room. Naruto removed the letter from Sakura's refrigerator, it was addressed to him.
Hey Naruto,
It's me Vash, the guy you left to get captured by Orochimaru. I
have your two friends. You are right Sakura is a beauty and that dared haired punk was
a pain to beat but finally knocked him unconscious. Here's the thing I am still mad about
what you and the others did to me. How is Kagome and Yahiko, tell them I said hi,

---

anyways I want payback. What I mean is I want your head on a silver platter.
Unfortunately I cant' fight you right away. However if you do beat me then you will get
Sakura back, Sasuske is needed by Orochimaru. In order to fight me, there is a few
things that must be done first.
·
You must judge the final part of the chunnin exam, a contact
of Orochimaru will give you more information.
·
And finally you must infiltrate Akatsuki, once inside you'll get
more information.
Don't tell the fifth, more than she needs to know or I will kill your friend. I
wish I could kill you now, but Orochimaru has m e on a leash. Akatsuki knows about the
fox so beware they will use you in order to destroy Orochimaru and if that happens your
friend will die. Farewell and good luck, until I kill you, later
-Vash-
Naruto crumpled up the letter in anger. Vash !!!, he thought, why are you doing
this. Hew tore the letter to pieces and made sure they were not readable, because if the
pieces were found and read then Sakura would die, besides he memorized what Vash
wrote.
Orochimaru is still after Sasuske's body, thought Naruto, I thought he gave up.
Naruto returned to the living, Neji and fifth were waiting for him.
"So what did it say ?" asked Neji.
"I can't say," replied Naruto, because if he did then Sakura would die.
"Why not !"
"I just can't....." Naruto stared at the floor on the verge of tears.
"Well maybe he can't say." She stared at Naruto.
"Thank you Madam Fifth, but can you do one thing for me, can I
officiate at the final part of the chunnin exam ?" Naruto looked up and stared into the
fifth's eyes.
"Yes."
"But Madam Hokage, he has to be jounin, he is only chunnin." N eji
was in outraged, his w hite eyes were ablaze.
"Captain, Naruto could easily take you out, he himself described
himself as jounin."
"Madam if I may, Naruto's word is nothing, I w ant proof, I want to
fight him." Neji lowered his arms.
"Very well then." At that, N eji quickly launched a kunai at Naruto.
Direct it.
"See, Madam Fifth." Naruto's body fell to the floor and faded into
Vash's red jacket.
"Is that good enough for you ?" asked Naruto venemously. He
appeared right behind Neji and held a kunai to his throat.

---

Neji was sweating , "M adam Hokage, he can officiate." Naruto
lowered his kunai and smiled.
"I am glad to have your permission, Captain."
"Captain, you and your unit are dismissed," said the fifth. Neji
vanished and within seconds all the anbu outside were gone.
"Thank you for helping me," said Naruto, he slipped the kunai back
into his holster on his belt.
"Naruto, it is fine, the final part is in two and a half weeks." The fifth
vanished. Naruto walked outside and saw Yahiko.
"Naruto, Kagome is at the Fifth's she wants to speak with you.
The proceeding angered her Naruto," said Yahiko.
"Thanks, Yahiko," said Naruto.
"Naruto, I am mad too." Naruto looked over and saw that he
was gone. Naruto kept walking. He walked up to the fifth's home and opened the door
quietly, it was well passed midnight. He proceeded into the kitchen and saw Kagome at
the table, with a cup of tea.
"Why did you have to talk about it Naruto, I finally forgot,"
said Kagome, she was staring at her tea in a daze.
"Because Kagom e, the past is not meant to be forgotten," said
Naruto sadly.
"Naruto I finally got over his death, I am in love again."
"W ith Yahiko ?" Naruto knew what she would say.
"No Naruto, w ith you. I love you." I knew she would say that.
"What about Yahiko, do you know how he feels about you ?"
"Yes, but Naruto I love him like a sister loves her brother. I
see Yahiko as a brother." She finally looked up at Naruto.
"Kagome, I wish I knew what to say. I need to sleep on it, I
am tired anyways. Goodnight, perhaps tomorrow we can talk more about this, I wish that
this will not harm Yahiko." Naruto left the kitchen and Kagome. Kagome started to cry
and Yahiko stood in the shadows, he heard everything.
Naruto is a good friend, thought Yahiko with tears flowing
freely from his face.
Naruto fell on to his bed, he was exhausted and fell to sleep easily even
though his old friends were kidnapped and with what Kagome said, it just didn't bother
him, he w as too tired.
After being asleep for less than two hours, a person stood across the street
from the fifth's house. The light breeze caused his long black coat to sw ay backw ards.
He had long dark black hair and he did not trace of any emotion. He had the looks of any
Uchiha before him, he looked Sasuske, yet he was better. His name was Uchiha Itachi, the
killer of the Uchiha Clan
"Soon, all the pieces will be in place............" Naruto shuffled
uneasily in his sleep, he heard whispers but he took them as if they were his imagination.

---

The lone man standing outside was gone and all in the village slept and were unaware of
him and possibly more of his Akatsuki comrades in their hidden village.
"Master, our contacts outside the hidden leaf village, have reported to have
seen two suspicious men enter the village, possibly Uchiah Itachi and Hoshigaki K isame,"
said the orange haired fiend, Ganondorf. He was bowing in a dimly lit room.
"Rise my friend," said Orochimaru wickedly. "Dispatch the three to the
village and tell them to remain inconspicuous." Ganondorf rose from the cold marbled
floor
"Yes sir."
"Has the Uchiha boy arrived yet ?"
"Not yet, but he will arrive in the next half hour. Saki has taken him from
the gunman."
"Very good and oh yes tell the three to watch for anything out of the
ordinary, they are to report to Okuni."
"Yes sir." Ganondorf departed the dimly lit room of Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's face was alit by the flames of the braziers. His face was the same,
pale w hite and had the sam e wicked evil.
"Uchiha Sasuske, you shall soon be mine." He let out a wicked laugh that
roamed the halls of his headquarters.
Ganondorf walked slowly through the halls and down several stairs. He was
looking for the three people who would leave for the hidden leaf village. Where are they ?
He opened a door and saw them, they were sitting in the darkness. He could see flashes of
metal with the sound village inscribed on them.
"Lord Orochimaru, has requested that you leave at once for the hidden leaf
village," said Ganondorf, speaking into the darkness.
He couldn't see their faces, but they smiled and he could see their gleaming white
teeth.
"It's about time," said one of them.
"You are to remain in hiding and report to Izumo No Okuni. Watch for
anything out of the ordinary."
"Yes sir," they all said, smiling.
