Chapter 28 - Konoha Crush part 3

'Where am I' thought Gaara as he opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a blonde teenager smiling at him

"Your finally up, I thought you were dead for a minute" Naruto said as he chuckled

"Stay back" mumbled Gaara as he tried to move, but he couldn't. His whole body was in pain. 'I will not disappear, I will not cease to exist, I won't' thought Gaara

"It's almost unbearable isn't it? I know that feeling, I've been there, in that dark and lonely place." Said Naruto with a frown as he thought back to his time in Konoha

"How, what would you know? How did you become this strong?" Questioned Gaara

"now there are others, other people who mean a lot to me. I would do anything for them.

"Why would you do things for anyone but yourself?" Asks Gaara, he was shocked by Naruto's words

"Because they saved me and accepted me for who I am, not only are they my friends, they're my family" declared Naruto as he thought back to everyone in Nox

"I have no one, all I need is myself " Gaara stated

"You already have people there for you, Kankuro and Temari. Those two would do anything for you. You try and use fear, but as their brother all you need is love" Naruto said

'Love, is that the thing that makes him so strong?' Thought Gaara to himself

"GAARA" shouted Temari as she dashed towards him with Kankuro begin her. They stood in front of Naruto with Gaara behind them in an attempt to protect him

"See?" Naruto said with a smile. Gaara's eyes widen in shock, for the first time he finally acknowledged his two siblings

"It's ok, I've already lost" Gaara said

"Are you sure Gaara?" Asked Kankuro

"Yes, besides even together we can't beat him. But thank you nonetheless" Gaara says. This shocks both Temari and Kankuro as Gaara has never thanked them for anything

"Well, um it's nothing" said Kankuro as he chuckled nervously

"I think you guys should go now, I have things to do" Naruto says as he closes his eyes and waits

"Let's just go" said Temari as Kankuro put Gaara on his back, then together then dashed away. A few minutes later two people appeared in front of Naruto

"I knew you were coming Hisui, oh who is this dude? He looks really familiar" Asked Naruto as he inspected Minato. Suddenly Hisui punched Naruto on the top of his head, leaving a bump "Ow what was that for" complained Naruto

"After all the studying and training I put you through, sometimes I swear you're an idiot" said Hisui

"What is that supposed to mean?" Asked naruto as he rubbed his head

"Naruto meet your father, Minato Namikaze" declares Hisui. Naruto's eyes widen in shock and he stares in disbelief towards Minato

"Are you serious? Is he really my father? But I thought…" Naruto Said with tears in his eyes, he was then interrupted by Minato who said

"Naruto I've been looking forward to meeting you, i know you must be angry at me and I just hope you can forgive me" Minato said. Naruto walked towards him trying to do what seemed to be a hug, when Minato opened his arms Naruto punched him in the stomach

"That's for leaving me in this village" said Naruto

"I deserved that, but I'm truly sorry Naruto. Had I known what would have happened to you after my death, I wouldn't have sealed the Kyuubi in you. I expected you to be treated like a hero, but I've come to find out it was the opposite" Said Minato with guilt and regret on his face. Then suddenly Naruto went and Hugged Minato

"It's ok, now I got Hisui, Haku, Karin, Kimimaro, Shisui, Jugo, sometimes Zabuza, and even Kuruma. They're my family, and so are you" stated Naruto with a smile. Minato Hugs Naruto back and also smiles

"This is such a heartwarming moment, I just can't stop the tears" Said Hisui as he was wiping away fake tears with tissues he created.

"Thank you" said Minato

"It's nothing, I just wanted Naruto to meet you, and i want you to make a decision" Hisui declared

"What is it?" Minato asked

"I could bring you back, you would no longer be a reanimation, but you won't be fully alive either. Also it's not permanent, at my current self I can bring you back for a year or two and you won't be at full power" Hisui stated

"I would love to, i've already missed so much of Naruto's life. I would love to be here for two years of it" Said Minato as he smiled towards Naruto

"Perfect, let's do it then" said Hisui as he put his hand on Minato's head and filled his body with energy. 'I need the rough energy stones to perform a perfect resurrection, or I could give him my life. But why would I do that?' Hisui thought

"I feel like myself" Said Minato after Hisui was done. He moved his hands and his leg around

"Yes, but just remember at most two years is all I can give you" Hisui stated

"That's more than enough, thank you" Minato said

"Thank you Hisui" said Naruto

"You know I'll do anything for you Naruto, we're family" Hisui said as he smiled

"Oh Dad, look what I can do" said Naruto as he pulled out a tri-pronged Kunai

"Is that what I think it is?" Asked Minato as Naruto threw it and then vanished in a yellow flash

"I can do the flying thunder god too" Naruto says with a smile

"How?" Questioned Minato

"Well he has a great teacher, me of course" Hisue said

"You robbed it from the forbidden scroll" stated Minato

'Damn, no wonder why he was the smartest' thought Hisui as Minato easily figured it out "yes, well we should go guys. Let's see who won the battle, the teacher or the student" Hisui said as they all vanished
