I do not own Naruto

I walked beside Naruto as we climbed the stairs, which seemed to go on forever. He stared at Sora for a long time before walking ahead and going beside him.

"Hey, is your chakra wind-natured?" He asked.

When Sora ignored him, Naruto ran ahead the monk then stopped him. "Don't ignore me, I'm talking to you! I wanna know about that technique you used! Dattebayo!" He picked up one of Sora's arms. "You used this hand-"

Sora wenched his arm away. "Don't tough me!" Closing his eyes he walked ahead of Naruto. I sighed, walking next to Naruto again.

"Are we there yet?" Naruto whined.

Looking up I knew Yamato was already up there. Smirking I released the seal I had placed on him earlier. The two monks looked a little shocked when I appeared behind Yamato, but they were quick to recover. My smirk dropped when I saw Naruto's face. His eyes widened as his jaw dropped. Shock was the only expression I could read from his face.

"This is exactly like the dream I had..." His voice barely above a whisper.

We ignored Naruto and proceeded to go walking in. Sora placed his foot out, tripping Naruto. Then he put help his arm out, pushing him over.

He fell backwards, quickly I ran behind him. My real speed showing as I appeared behind him. Catching him I helped him stand back up.

He looked at me shocked before grinning, "Thank's Yuki-chan!" Then he turned for the snickering Sora. "You son of a bitch! I'll kill you!"

Yamato caught Naruto by the collar of his jacket, "You can't do that."

"Damn it! I'll kill him! Dattebayo!" He shouted.

Sora snickered even more as he walked away. Walking to Naruto I placed a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down, Naruto-kun. Besides, you odn't need to waste your energy or chakra on this guy." I whispered in his ear, he paused looking how close I was to him. Turning a little pink he nodded and calmed down.

"You don't have a fever again, do you?" I whispered, placing my hand on his forehead. Naruto shook his head, looking away from me.

Yamato noticed that Naruto calmed down. He leaned down to me, "What did you tell him?"

"Nothing, I just know him well." I smirked wrapping my arm around my friend, giving him a quick hug with a closed eye smile.

Sora looked back as us, giving me a hard stare.

'I guess he heard me...' I thought sheepishly.

Sora scuffed, " Bitch..."

My eye twitched, Naruto grew upset again. A dark aura surrounded him, "I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do."

Yamato sighed, "You'd better not, or you'll be punished for real."

"Not if we made it look like a accident." I murmured under my breath.

Any more criticism dies in my throat as I saw how the monks looked at Sora. Their faces held anger and hatred, ones that I saw Naruto get. My dislike and anger at Sora was replaced by concern for the teen.

Looking back at the blonde I saw realization fill his face. Sakura and Sai followed Chiriko and Yamato to three older monks.

"I have returned. These five are from Konoha and have come at my request." Chiriko announced.

My gaze fell back to Naruto, concern filling my gaze. "Hello, I am Captain Yamato. With me is Sakura, Sai, Naruto, and Yuki."

When Naruto snapped out of his daze he ran to the others, pulling me along behind him.

An old monk looked at us, "From Konoha? That's reassuring."

Naruto grinned, pointing to himself. "Leave everything to me!"

Yamato nodded, "We're prepared to take action anytime."

"We still have to wait for the news from our ninja monks in the field." The old man told us.

"For now, please follow me." Chiriku lead us inside.

"I wonder what they want the bodies for." Sai murmured.

"Indeed. Either he wants the information within the body, or they want to use the actual body itself, like Orochimaru. But I doubt there's anyone around here who uses techniques like him." Yamato murmured.

Naruto grinned, "So the guys inside these five hidden tombs must've been pretty awesome, huh?" He really wasn't paying attention, a sigh formed when he bumped into Chiriku. "Wh-What?"

Chiriku smiled, "They were indeed awesome. But more importantly, they were good people. With the Fire Temple in the middle, to the east, west, south, and north lie the graves of Nauma, Seito, Tou, Kitane, and Teno. They were members of the Thirteen Ninja Guardians."

I felt my ears twitch a little bit. "Teno? Could you mean Teno Okami by any chance?"

Chiriku looked at me, as did the others. "Yes, Teno Okami. Why?"

My body froze as my heart picked up. Sakura, who caught on, eyes widened. "T-That's my dad." I murmured quietly, "The entire time, he's been buried here."

Chiriku's eyed widened as he looked at me. "You're Teno's daughter?" I nodded, he looked at me closer. "I supposed you may be his daughter, you do have his green eyes, but that's all..."

"I mainly look like my mother." I commented quietly, the monk fell silent. Looking up I asked, "Tell me, what is the Thirdteen Ninja Guardians?"

Sakura glanced at me, "I've heard of them."

"Yes, I've heard of them too." Sai commented.

"For real? Are they famous?" Naruto asked.

"I guess you either know of them or you don't." Yamato said. He glanced at me, "The Thirdteen Ninja Guardians is an organization whose members are gathered from all across the Fire Country to protect its Feudal Lord."

"Isn't protecting the Fire Country our job as Konoha shinobi?" Naruto asked.

Yamato looked at him, "Protecting the Fire Country is the responsibility of our village, yes. But there in lies the difference. Konoha is an organization that protects the entire country, where as the Feudal Lord is just one man."

 "In order to protect a country, you need to protect the top, the Feudal Lord. The Thirdteen Ninja Guardians were formed by people who shared that view." Chiriko closed his eyes, "I was very young back then. I was all to eager to sacrifice my life for the Fire Country, and I joined the Thirdteen."

"Then, Chiriku-san, you're-" Chiriku cut Sakura off.

"I used to be anyway."

Yamato looked at us again. "By the way, Asuma-san is also a former member of the Thirdteen."

I casted my eyes down to the ground. My nailed digging into my palms.

"Asuma? Is he doing well?" Chiriku asked.

Naruto smiled, "He's doing great. Actually, he gave Yuki, and I some advice for our training!"

"Is that so?" Chiriku smiled.

"Then these incidents are, to you, Asuma sensei, and Yuki, equivalent to your friends, and father's graves being defiled." Sai said.

One question stayed in my mind. Before I could speak though, Chiriku spoke again. "Four of those five gave their lives for the Fire Country at a young age. The fifth one, Teno, died during a clan attack. In respect of everything, and the important information that he carried we all agreed to bury him under our protection.-"

I looked up, my emerald eyes burning into Chiriku's dark eyes. "Is my father's grave still intact? Or has he already been taken?"

The monk looked at me, silence filled the room before he finally answered. "No, Teno hasn't been taken yet."

I nodded, standing up. "Please excuse me." I walked to the door, only pausing when Chiriku's voice spoke. "I'm glad to meet Teno-san's daughter, Yuki. I'm sure you would have made him proud."

Only nodding I stepped out of the room. Tears welled up in my eyes as I did so. After closing the door I found myself leaning against a wall for support. My arm went to my eyes, in attempt to hide the tears falling from my eyes. 'All this time! Dad's been here!' My lip quivered. 'But if he's here, then where's Mom?'

More tears fell down my face, despite telling myself that I shouldn't be crying over something like this. Hearing the door open I quickly wiped my eyes. Looking up I was met by blue eyes. My lip quivered more as I tried to hold in the tears.

Naruto walked closer to me, enveloping me into a hug. "It's okay, Yuki." He cooed. "You don't have to hold it in, I'm here."

Then, just like all the years before, I sobbed into Naruto's chest. Memories of years ago, when we were getting Tsuande, formed in my head. My hands clenched onto his orange jacket tightly as my sobs grew.

3rd person

The room fell silent after Naruto walked out, all knowing that he left to comfort the blonde female.

Sakura looked us, as Chiriku just finished explaining everything. "We can't let that person who stole Kitane-san's body, and who threaten to take Yuki's Father get away with it."

As the room fell quiet again, the faint sound of sobbing could be heard. Chiriku's smile slowly turned into a frown, knowing that it was his friend's daughter who was crying. Although he didn't know for sure, he had the slightest idea that is had to do with finally knowing where her father rested, and the pain of her parent's and clans death had not fully healed yet.

The blue-eyes blonde looked at the sobbing girl that he held. His arms stayed wrapped around the girl, who clung to his jacket. He continued to coo soft works of comfort to her, like he did every time he saw her in pain.

While he continued to comfort her, he knew one thing was for certain. The blonde girl in his arms, he couldn't care more about her. Within all the years he has known her, she always stood up for him, and even protected him.

With everything that has happened, he has grown to love her. Looking down at her, a small caring smile formed. 'Now, I just need to find the right time to tell her.' His thoughts stopped when she sniffed and looked up.

Her emerald eyes lightened from the tears, her cheeks shinned from the tears, Blonde hair fell in her face, which Naruto pushed out of the way.

"Better?" He asked.

She gave a small nod, "Yeah. Thank you, Naruto-kun." She looked down again, mumbling something under her breath.

Ignoring her mumbling, Naruto gave a bright smile. "Anytime, Yuki-chan!" Quickly she wiped away her tears as the door opened. He slowly let her go as she turned towards their team.

 Watching her walk in the direction the others were heading in one thought stayed in his head. 'My clueless Yuki."

End of Chapter 22!  I feel like I've been making Yuki a little bit weaker... But I think there was a reason for her to cry in this one, think about it. For nine years she hasn't known where her parents are buried, and when she finds out where one of them is, their body is being threatened to be taken. Also, while they are 'tough ninjas' their also teens, so that means their more emotional. But don't worry, I don't intend on keeping her seem weak.

She will be kicking some ninja butt in the next chapter or two. On the happy note though, Naruto finally realized his feelings fro Yuki :) and *cough* it won't be long until Yuki realizes it also *cough* So I'm sorry for the sad chapter, but you got to learn a little bit about Yuki's father.

Now, I hope you're all reading this still, but I was thinking of doing a movie special, but I'm not sure which movie I should do it on, if you could comment and suggest a Naruto Shippuden movie you would like I will try it. I' can make it a voting thing or whatever it's called, by the end of this mission I will count up all the votes for which movie and do a special on that one. Now to end this long auther's note, I'll make a deal with you guys, if I can get four different people to comment on this chapter, I'll make it a double upload, and upload the next chapter either Sunday or Monday. So comment, vote, and fan :)
