Back to the Beginning (Naruto Fanfic)

Chapter 13

When Naruto got to the inn he wasn't really in the mood to do much. "Can I get two single rooms and one triple room please." He didn't really want to share a room with anyone. He knew he was going to have another nightmare tonight because of everything that happened.

"I'm sorry sir, but most of our rooms have been booked. I can give you one single room and two double rooms. That's all I've got."

Naruto turned towards the innkeeper as she spoke. Man, I feel kinda bad for her. "No, that's fine. Thank you." He knew that there was nothing he could do about it, and he didn't want to be mean to the woman just for doing her job. He smiled as he took the three room keys, and just as he was about to go back to the bathhouse to gather everyone up and give them their keys, the other four members of his group walked through the door of the inn.

"Ah, Naruto. I assume you were able to get our rooms situated?" Minato asked when he saw Naruto standing by the desk.

"Of course I did, ya know! I always follow through with what I say I'll do! Though we will have to pair up. Rin here is the key to your room." Naruto handed Rin the key to the single room as he turned to face the other three. Man, I do not want to room with dad, he'll just keep asking questions. And though I don't hate him anymore, I really don't want to share with Obito. "I suppose Minato and Obito can share a room, and I will share with Kakashi."

Kakashi was about to argue when Minato cut in. "That sounds good. Now, everyone get some good rest for the night. We will be busy tomorrow." Minato, Rin and Obito all turned and walked off towards their rooms, but Kakashi was still standing by the doorway. He didn't like Naruto and did not want to share with him.

"Come on little brother! Let's go!" Naruto practically dragged Kakashi behind him as they went up to the room they would be sharing. Naruto chose the bed which was closest to the window, which bugged Kakashi because that's the one he wanted.

"I'm going to sleep." Kakashi just decided to turn in for the night so he didn't have to talk to Naruto at all. Before he could lay down in bed though, he heard Naruto speak up from the other side of the room.

"You know Kakashi, there are more important things in life than a mission." Naruto's voice was sincere as he spoke.

"What are you talking about? The mission always comes first, that's the rule! Those who break the rules of the village are just scum!" Kakashi couldn't believe what he was hearing. This guy is a complete idiot. He thought to himself.

"Those who break the rules are scum, that's true. But those who would abandon even one of their friends, are even worse than scum." Naruto seemed to be staring into Kakashi's mind as he spoke. It wasn't as if he was being mean, but his face showed a seriousness to it that surprised Kakashi.

"Yeah, whatever. I will never break the rules." Kakashi didn't say anything else, and he just turned over to fall asleep.

Naruto stared at Kakashi's sleeping figure as he muttered to himself. "You will understand it soon, little brother." It was a sad truth, but Naruto knew what was supposed to happen.

There's blood everywhere... Sasuke and I were fighting with Madara. It needs to end here. The war needs to be over.

"Sasuke, combine your fire with me!" I called over to get Sasuke's attention. Our wind and fire attacks were extremely strong. Hopefully we could tire him out enough to beat him.

"Now!" We both yelled at the same time. Our attacks combined, but when they reached Madara, it was like it didn't even phase him.

"What happened?" I yelled out my question. My frustration was starting to get the best of me.
