As they began to eat their meal, everyone was silent. Inari continually glanced at Naruto, each time looking back at his bowl with sad eyes. Sakura continued to watch Naruto, barely touching her food, still trying to absorb all the things she's learned about the teammate she would yell at on a daily basis. Kakashi didn't touch his food, too filled with self loathing for treating his sensei's son in such a manner to believe he deserves any food at all. And Sasuke, already finished eating, was keeping his head down while watching Naruto with a blush on his face.

Naruto saw all of this, and being the person with multiple layers that he is, he ate as much as he could before stopping and putting his now empty bowl down. Then he asked to be excused.

When he was, he made his way to the bedroom, but not before casting a quick listening jutsu so he could hear what was said after he left.

In the dining room, chatter began to take hold now that Naruto was far enough away to seemingly not hear what they discussed.

Apparently, after Naruto and Inari separated earlier on, he had told Tsunami and Tazuna about what the boy had told him so they were partially clued in now too.

So, knowing this, they began to all say something to break the silence at the same time. Too jumbled for anyone to hear, Tazuna quickly said, "Lets all speak one at a time please."

Everyone nodded and then Sakura began, "We didn't know that he's been treated in such a way until we got here. He's never told anyone."

Kakashi sighed and shook his head as he said, "No, he has told people. But whenever he tells the hokage what has been done to him, he gains more scars, and i would guess, harsher treatment, the next time. And with that law stating he is not allowed to harm a civilian, he had no way to save himself. The hokage does know the he is beaten, though he has no idea about the- I can't even believe he's been through such things. And then, to lose his toes-"

He was then cut off by Sasuke who's face was now burning with anger as he said, "The fox said the Danzo and those shinobi took his toes. Isn't Danzo a councilmen?"

Kakashi nodded and faced away from the angry Uchiha. Tsunami finally spoke up saying, "We were only told that he was abused and starved and orphaned and even lost his toes. What else has that poor boy been through?"

Sakura spoke before she even realized and said, "He was sexually abused as well. For years. And he never told a soul."

Tazuna fell off his seat at hearing this and Inari gave an inquisitive look to all the adults and shinobi in the room. Tsunami just shook her head in disbelief while the rest of the shinobi held their heads down in shame of not having known.

Then Inari asked, "What does sexually abused mean? How is it different than normal abuse?"

Sasuke mumbled something about why did Sakura let the boy hear, then he said aloud, "Its different because he is used for sex without giving any consent or feeling good at all. It's probably the worst abuse imaginable."

At this point in the conversation, Naruto released his listening jutsu and began to cry. He then thanked Kami that he had alone time and cast a shadow clone jutsu.

Then, he left the clone, gather the materials he would require, and leapt from the window. He was happy to be on his way to hunt down another bad guy. Another person like him. Another person he could kill.

On his way there, he stuck to the shadows. And having memorized the chakra signatures of both the horrible people from that fight, he easily tracked them.

Finally arriving at his destination, he looked in through the window of the place in the woods. It held a bed with a man on it and a chair at its side with a person with dark long hair laying on the side. The one laying on the side of the bed was holding the hand of the man laying on the bed. Naruto got even more emotionless at the site and made his way in.

Neither of the missing nin noticed him, so he stalked up at the closest proximity he could, and clawed off the head of the person holding the other person's hand. The body quickly dropped, alerting the man laying in the bed of something amiss. And when he saw his tool's body separate from its head, he let a few tears fall and grew in anger.

With all his injuries, all he could dow was grab his sword to block, but he was too late. Naruto had already grabbed his heart out of his chest. He then crushed the heart in front of Zabuza's eyes and collected both of the bodies in his usual manner. Then he cleaned up the mess of blood, and left.

As he made his way through the village, he noticed all the children and adults dirtied and sitting on the ground. It reminded him of when he was homeless, which made him angry. And Naruto knew, if he was angry, he had to kill someone else before he went back.

So, he made his way around, looking at building after building, until finally, he saw a large building that looked very well made and decorated and lighted. He also noticed that inside, there was many more people than there was outside.

Naruto quickly made his way up the side of the building, making sure he wasn't seen, and once he arrived at the top floor, he saw what he had wanted to.

Sitting in a thrown like chair, was a very short man with a very expensive outfit. Naruto knew this man had to be Gato, so he made his way inside. Quietly so as not to alarm any of the mercenaries in the room. Then, he made his way from person to person, killing them before they knew they were dead. He started with Gato and went to one mercenary after another.

Once every mercenary was dead, Naruto collected the bodies, cleaning the mess, then went to the floor below.

He continued to do this on every floor until he made it to the basement. In the basement, he noticed multiple people in chains and quickly summon his kitsune mask and drooping his hair before killing the guards in the room.

After killing them, he turned to the prisoners and released every last one. They wouldn't be able to recognize him without his mask and they would be free. He wouldn't have to kill any of them. After they left, he then collected the bodies and cleaned the mess, then left the building.

Making his way back to Tazuna's house, this time, he didn't look at any of the people. He didn't want to be angered again.

Arriving back, he placed his supplies back where he had kept it, then made his way to the bathroom. On his way, he made sure no one saw him, knowing full well he had blood all over him.

Once in the bathroom, he took out his notebook and pen and small box and began his routine. He X'd out Zabuza and the small picture at the bottom of the page that said they knew Zabuza had a sidekick but had no idea who.

After putting back the notebook, he made his way into the shower with the box in hand. And after turning on the water, he began the second part of his routine and began to created more scars all over his arms and thighs and cheeks.

Finally finishing, he placed the razors back in their box and placed them back in their seal after that. Then he allowed himself to bleed as the water poured over his thin and frail looking frame. The blood was soon washed away by the liquid, and he stepped out.

Drying himself off, he redid his bandages and dressed. He then cast his blood masking jutsu on himself and the bathroom. Then he made his way back to the room he was staying in, wondering if he'd actually get any sleep.

He soon realized that he was sorely mistaken when he woke up from a memory-nightmare he had oh so often. So instead, he just laid there, staring at the ceiling, listening to the sound of everyone going to their respective guest rooms.

It was only a few hours before someone came to the house, banging on Tazuna's front door. Naruto was still awake, so he heard it when Tsunami opened the door to the face of a man who yelled, "Gato's gone! So are all his mercenaries! And all the prisoners have been freed! Tsunami, get the old man, we have to celebrate!"

Tsunami was so shocked that she nearly fell to the ground. To steady herself, she hugged the man and said, "I'll go get my dad and the ninja that we got to come here."

The man nodded and Tsunami showed him in before running up the stairs and busting into every room. Before she got to Naruto's room, Naruto decided to pretend to be sleeping. So when Tsunami burst in, he groaned then sat up and listened to the announcement she made to every room. Then he gave her a smile and followed her out.

Since his room was the last room, everyone else was already down in the living room. Tazuna had on a big smile and the shinobi all looked confused and Inari was in shock. Then Kakashi asked, "So did he just leave? Or was he assassinated?"

The man shrugged and said, "I have no idea. They said there wasn't any body or blood, but all the stuff was still there and the freed prisoners keep saying that a blonde angel with a mask killed the people guarding them, even though there is not even a trace of what they say being true. Though, their shackles were all sliced through, so it might have been some sort of ninja."

Kakashi nodded, then said, "I see. There have been many reports of people going missing that would be considered Gato's level of bad. After they go missing, not a soul sees them, so they are all presumed dead. Whoever did this must be that mystery person."

Sakura seemed to consider this before asking, "Does this mean our mission is over and we can head back to Konoha?"

Sasuke quickly glanced at Naruto, who was sitting on a couch, watching the wall. Then Kakashi said, "No, we have to stay until Tazuna finishes building his bridge. Besides, there is no confirmation that Gato is dead, so he could come back and ruin it. We have to stay, though we should probably send a message to the Hokage about the new development."

The three genin nodded and then Tazuna said, "You all should go back to sleep. I'm going to party with my friend here. Tsunami, Inari, you two should go back to bed as well. You can part later."

They all nodded and departed back to their bedrooms. But on their way, Sasuke walked up beside Naruto and said, "Naruto, were you asleep? I couldn't so i decided to practice some jutsu, then i heard what sounded like you talking to yourself."

Naruto, not wanting anyone else to question him, placed a small silencing jutsu around them and said, "No. I tried but i had a memory-nightmare like usual and stayed away after that. I rarely sleep anyways, so it isn't new for me. If you can't sleep either, i guess you can come to my room."

Sasuke slightly blushed, but it was covered by the darkness, so he whispered an, "Ok" and followed Naruto into the guest room he had been in.
