Chapter 21 - Remembrance
I stared at a lone picture. On the picture were four very familiar faces, but they wore very odd clothing. Three children, no more than 13 years old, were spread on the bottom of the picture, while a white-haired adult stood above. Those three children were Sasuke, Sakura, and myself. The adult was Kakashi-sensei. Sakura smiled toward the camera, but Sasuke and I were casting a very annoyed look at each other. Kakashi-sensei, who smiled nervously, had his hands on our heads, probably to keep us still.
"I-I remember that..."
The picture shattered. In its place stood myself. I looked the same as I did in High School,

I heard his footsteps, his breathing. He talked to me in a voice both arrogant, yet confident. His footfall told me he was circling me, waiting for me to make a move. I could feel his eyes piercing my soul.
And yet, I was calm. "Itachi."
"Naruto." He answered, "Why have you sought me out?"
"I need help."
"With what?" I sensed a bit of curiosity in his voice.
I didn't know how, nor did I want to, beat around the bush, so I put it out there, "I need to get to Myoboku."
"And, why do you think I will help you?"
This was it. Taking a deep breath, I said, "For some reason, when I see you, I see a friend. Even though you

Chapter 11 - The Meaning of Myoboku
(Flashback)
My wife had just asked my uncle the meaning of the word Myoboku. This word has shown up many times in my life recently, though, up until my uncle's recent appearance, it had little meaning to me. However, I have begun to wonder what it meant, especially after my uncle told me it was for "a later time."
"Myoboku, huh?" Asked Ero-Sennin, who was sitting across from us.
"Hai." My wife replied, confidence in her voice.
Exhaling, he said, "I was hoping to save this conversation for a later date."
"Is it anything, I don't know...bad?" Hinata asked.
"Well, no, but it involves delving into my pas

I stared wide-eyed at the man before me.
"C-c-child?!"
Madara smirked. "I would leave, Naruto. This cave will soon collapse."
I was too dumbstruck to move.
"Fine, stay for your death. I, on the other hand, have business to attend to." With a wave of a hand, he vanished, leaving only smoke in his place.
The instant he disappeared, the cave began to shake violently. Gathering my senses, I left through the hole that Itachi had walked through earlier. Luckily, the lip of the cave reached to the ground, so I was easily able to step through without too much effort.
Looking forward, I could see the path that the Aka

Bringing my wrist up to my mouth, and pressing the small rectangular button on my watch, I spoke, "Third floor, clear."

Sakura ended up taking the rest of the night off. Because of this, immediately after lunch, she came home.
"Naruto, how are doing?" She asked, a little surprised to see me.
"A little better than I was yesterday."
She hung her purse on the coat rack, "Oh, and why is that?"
"Well," I looked over to Hinata, "I think I may have found a job."
She finally looked at me, "Really? Where at?"
I rubbed the back of my head, "Well, it isn't technically a 'job,' yet."

I opened my eyes and realized I was alone in the seal room.
"Weren't they supposed to be right behind me?" I wondered aloud.
I took the time to notice the subtle changes in the room. For one, the cage was gone. In its place, Kyuubi was fast asleep, no doubt recovering from the ritual. His breathing was very deep, his breaths drawn-out.
"He's kinda cute when he's asleep." Came my wife's voice.
I turned around and saw Hinata appear, followed by Ero-Sennin.
"Bout time you guys showed up!"
Ero-Sennin came over and popped my head. "Don't fall asleep so fast, baka!"
Rubbing my head, I asked, "Where do you stay, Ero-Sennin?"

The first thing on the agenda was for me to find a job. With my experience, it shouldn't have been that hard, but with my tenant, my prospects looked rather low. I had run a multimillion dollar business, having many people work under me, efficiently. But I also had to deal with the bias that people had toward me.
After seeing my wife off to Sakura's, I decided to leave the house, looking for a newspaper. With the want ads, I reasoned I might be able to find a job. So, when I went to the gas station to buy one, I realized that most of the jobs were part-time jobs at small local businesses.

"What you still don't believe me? You still don't believe any of what I have told you?"
"I believe you're crazy! I mean, listen to yourself. You sound like--"
"Naruto." Came my wife's voice.
I turned to her, "I believe him."
"Huh?"
"Naruto," she put her hand to my face, "I remember things that I didn't before. And not just about my sister. Do you remember the night that Jiraiya was killed?"
I nodded.
"You asked me afterwards about how I could see the Kyuubi."

When consciousness first came to me, I at first didn't open my eyes. I was afraid that if I did, all that pain would come back, and I would be forced to face that reality. I didn't want that. My first thought was of Hinata. Since my faculties had returned, and I didn't hear her screaming, I figured that she had passed out as well.
"Naruto..." I heard a voice say, shaking me from thoughts.
'No, don't...'
The person began to shake me. 'Who?'
"Naru-ru, wake up."
'That's...Tsunade? What's she doing here?'
I quickly shot up, slamming me head into hers. "OW!" She yelled out in pain.
