( THE LAND OF WAVES PART-12 )

seeing that naruto's condition was serious, sasuke did not dare to take any chances and directly picked him up and dash out of the village's head residence, it took him around five minutes to return to tazuna's house and by this time he reached tazuna's house naruto's body was releasing a black colour energy, this energy was not affecting sasuke physically but was affecting him mentally, he could feel a pressure being put on his soul. since the situation was serious sasuke ignored this pressure and continued to run. others were following him from behind.

after sasuke reach tazuna's home he did not knock and directly went in. after entering he hurriedly move to kakashi sensei who was reading a perverted book. realizing that someone has entered the room kakashi raised his head and after looking at unconscious naruto a frown appear on his face and ask sasuke.

kakashi: sasuke what happened to naruto, why is he unconscious.

sasuke answered kakashi in a serious tone.

sasuke: sensei, when we were at Akito's (village head's) residence, naruto asked him why gatou wants to capture this piece of land and in answer Akito showed him a broken piece of metal, that piece of metal was emitting a black colour energy which was different from the usual chakra, we went closer to that piece of metal in order to see what it was and it was at that time, that Naruto's body starts to shake and he spouts blood from his mouth and collapsed and before we could reach him in order to check his condition, that piece of metal starts to float and went inside Naruto's body and as that piece of metal went inside naruto starts to emit this strange energy.

hearing sasuke a frown appear on kakashi's face and he looks at the black colour energy which was leaking out from Naruto's body, kakashi pushed his forehead protector and activated his sharingan, after activating his sharingan he starts examining naruto's body in order to check wether naruto was in any danger or not, first he check his chakra flow which was normal and then he checked the black colour energy and just as he put his attention on the black colour energy a light spiritual pressure starts to act on his soul, feeling this Kakashi's frown became even deeper and he checked the flow of this strange energy, after checking it a serious look appear on his face because this energy was moving toward the nine tails seal. realizing the seriousness of the situation he decided to give naruto a spiritual impact in order to forcibly wake him up before anything bad could happen.

by this time others have arrived as well.

just as he was about to give naruto a spiritual impact, naruto moved his hands and start making hand-seals, seeing this kakashi and others were shocked. realizing that naruto was trying to do something kakashi stopped himself because he knew that if he takes action while naruto was executing his technique the consequences would be dire. he continued to watch and after looking for a while he could guess, what naruto was trying to do by following his hand-seals.

seeing naruto's action sakura could not help but ask.

sakura: sensei what is naruto doing?

hearing sakura kakashi answered.

kakashi: right now naruto is creating a seal in order to seal that piece of metal which entered his body.

sasuke: will he be alright?

kakashi: that depends on wether he will be able to seal the piece of metal or not, right now i cannot do anything, we can only wait.

hearing kakashi a silence spread in the room, all of them were looking at unconscious naruto who was currently making hand-seals one after another. after around one and a half hour naruto suddenly stopped and the black energy which was coming out of his body disappeared and an exhausted look appear on his face.

seeing that naruto was done with his seal kakashi come to his side and again activated his sharingan and just as did a frown appear on his face, he crouched down and unzip naruto's jacket and after he removed naruto's upper clothes, he saw a circular seal with an ancient inscription surrounding it.

seeing that naruto was able to seal that piece of metal own its own kakashi sighed in relief and said to others.

kakashi: everyone there is no need to worry anymore, naruto was able to successfully seal that piece of metal, he should be waking up soon.

just as kakashi finished speaking naruto showed some movements and slowly opens his eyes, after opening them he looks around with a painful expression on his face, right now his head was hurting like hell and he was barely able to hold himself up. naruto hurriedly took out a medicine vial and consumed it, after waiting for a while his headache finally subsided.

.................

kakashi: naruto how are you feeling?

naruto: I am fine kakashi sensei, my head is just hurting a little.

kakashi: so, do you know what was that piece of metal?

hearing kakashi naruto thought for a while and replied with a made up answer.

naruto: I am not sure, but i think I do know why it reacted to me.

kakashi: tell us?

naruto: well according to me that piece of metal showed reaction because of the special type of energy present inside my body.

kakashi: a special type of energy huh, do you know what is that energy.

naruto: I am not sure, this energy is within me from the very beginning, at first it was hidden deep inside me but when I start practicing my taijutsu it became active and showed itself, I do not know what is this energy so I call it soul force/energy because it attacks peoples spirit rather than their physical body.

hearing naruto a frown appear on kakashi's face, he again checked naruto's body but realized that the strange energy is nowhere to be found, seeing this kakashi came to conclusion. that the energy is somehow related to nine tails, after thinking this far he did not ask anything else to.

seeing that kakashi sensei was done with his interrogation naruto sighed and look toward Akito with an embarrassed look on his face and said.

naruto: Akito-san, sorry for the trouble I caused, but right now I do not have a way to give you that piece of metal back because it has already merged with my body.

akito: it is fine naruto, it is because of that piece of metal that this village is in such dire condition, so you can keep that piece of metal as a payment for the food supplies.

hearing Akito a smile appear on Naruto's face and said.

naruto: Akito-san thank you, and as for the food supply, we can start their distribution from tomorrow.
