Welcome to Gaia! ::

"how have you been,Chishio?..." Sho asked then stretched his arm above his head.

When Naruto had said he was Minato's son, he almost jumped on him, still sore about his brother's death, but when Yumiko stepped between them, and said that, he nearly reeled backwards. "My ne-...? Wait, my brother had a son...?" The sixth was obviously in shock.

Yumiko bit her lip, glancing back and forth between the two males. It was clear that she had no idea what to say, but could only hope that nothing too bad would happen.

Well, Yumiko wouldn't be getting her wish. Naruto narrowed his eyes at Sukiru, slowly taking a few steps closer even if Yumiko was still in the way. "Yeah, you idiot! He died protecting the village from the Nine-Tailed Kyuubi. Oh and guess what? He sealed the beast inside me!" As proof, Kyuubi's demon cloak aura started to surround his body as he continued to advance. By now, he was within arm's reach of Yumiko.

Yumiko, seeing the danger that Naruto posed at the current moment, stepped forward and pushed her hands against his chest while digging her feet into the ground a bit to try and keep the orange haired male from reaching the Sixth. Of course, to keep Kyuubi's demon cloak from hurting her, Juunibi's own demon cloak aura surrounded Yumiko to protect her. "Naruto-sama! Snap out of it! It's not your fault or Sukiru-sama's, or even Minato's that you two don't know about each other!"

Naruto, being lost in his anger for the current moment, glared down at Yumiko and grabbed her wrists tightly so she would stop pushing against him. "And how do I know that this is all the truth? My father didn't have a brother. Someone would have told me before now that I had an uncle. After all, I was left alone to grow up, and you know quite well what I've gone through..."

Yumiko winced as Naruto held onto her wrists. It was a dangerous moment indeed, and even though Naruto wouldn't intentionally hurt her, he was holding her wrists extremely tightly. Heck, she's just lucky he didn't break her wrists right now. "N-naruto-sama, don't you see? Almost no one knew about Minato having a brother!" Even so, Naruto still didn't seem to be listening.

"The usual: training, looking for a cure..." Chi trailed off slightly, staring down at the table with a sigh. She coughed into her hand for a few moments, and it sounded rather harsh, though she hid her hand under the table and in her lap after she was done coughing.

Naruto glanced over his shoulder at Sukiru, eying the kunai in his hand. It was the truth, and he had to accept that. He let go of Yumiko's wrists before turning around fully so he was face to face with the Sixth. "So... You're... really my uncle..." The demon cloak dissipated and left Naruto standing there for a bit, seeming almost empty as if the cloak took away all his anger now that he was really thinking about his father.

Yumiko rubbed her wrists once she was free, her own cloak vanishing. She quickly darted around Naruto to stand by Sukiru's side. After all, she was still ANBU, an elite ordered by only the Hokage himself. However, she did seem to stand off to the side a few feet, as if to give the two of them room. This was one hell of a family reunion after all.

Naruto was silent for a while before turning to Yumiko. "I'm heading to my old house. I need to take rest after my trip and this..." He hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the Sixth. "I guess... I just need a bit to think really... I'll find you later..." Without another word, he turned on his heel and headed towards the Leaf Village.

Yumiko watched Naruto leave, and if she had wolf ears like Juunibi, they would be drooping right now. "Sukiru-sama?... What if Sasuke and Taka attack the village while Naruto is here?... You said that I shouldn't interfere with your fight with Sasuke... but Naruto might..." she said quietly and out of the blue.

"Then I'll let him. He's family, and if he's got reason to fight the Taka, I can't deny my family. Whether he likes it or not." the Sixth said, sighing softly shaking his head before turning to his ANBU. "How are your arms?"

"Then lets get moving,your not going to get any better if we just sit here." Sho said then turned in his seat and got up to leave.

((Out of Cookies: Lol sounds alright to me =^.^= if you want, you can join Chishio and Sho. They're roaming the village at the moment, talking about finding a cure to Chi's illness.))

Chishio nodded again and hurried after Sho. Of course, she paused for a moment to wipe her hand that she coughed into earlier on a napkin to hide the blood, then trotted out of the ramen shop. "You see, I've been doing some medical ninjutsu research for a while on my illness. It's directly linked with my clan's Kekkei Genkai. In simple terms, I can control my bones. As a result though, somehow my organs are weaker since my bones are stronger..."
