LOVE ME FOR WHO I AM

AN: YOhoo! chapter two HA! can't believe it.! that's all I want to say. HEhe!

Chapter 2 - I've waited

Previously:

"Tsunade baachan I've finish the mission" Naruto said with his soft baritone voice, smirking in the process.

"How was the mission?" Tsunade asked shifting form her seat to make herself comfortable. Sitting in this chair all day is tiring.

"Well there was some complication in the mission..." Naruto said earning a raised eyebrow from the blonde woman.

"Tell me…what happened then"

"The mission was going well until Orochimaru caught me. We fought and in the end I killed him" Naruto said.

"You.. him?" she stuttered, not able to believe what Naurto said.

"Hai, Hokage-sama. I did not have any other choice but to fight…here is proof if you do not believe me" Naruto took out something from his bag and raised it for the Hokage to see. Tsunade stored wide eyes at what Naruto was holding. She felt like hurling at the sight. It was none other than the head of Orochimaru eyes were wide with fear, his mouth hanging open as if he was about to scream.

"I'm sorry Tsunde-baachan" Naruto said as he put Orochimaru's head out of sight back in his bag. Naruto knew Tsunade and Orochimaru were teammates and he figured Tsunade would be sad about it.

"It's alright Naruto. I knew the say would come soon enough." Tsunade sighed, then leaning his back more on the chair.

"What about the Oto nins?" Tsunde looked up at Naruto

"They're all dead…Otogakure is gone." Naruto said as he made his way toward the window behind Tsunade. He opened it and let the cool air in. Taking a deep breath of air.

There was silence. It wasn't an awkward silence but a calm silence. It was kinda peaceful. No worries, no troubles, just relax and forget about everything. Tsunade swiveled her chair facing the window just like Naruto. 'Naruto…' Tsunade thought looking to her right side where Naruto stood, his back facing her. 'I can't believe his older than me…' Tsunade smiled at that.

Naruto though he like the silence he had to break it.

"Tsunade-baachan, can I ask you something?" Naruto asked still facing the open window which overlooked the whole village.

"Of course"

"What did you feel when your in love? I mean with Dan?" Naruto asked. Tsunade was slightly taken aback by the sudden question. She thought that he would ask about something like…'more mission' but nothing like this.

"I felt…happy…like finding your half soul…I felt complete." Tsunade said walking towards Naruto who was now sitting on the window sill.

"Hmm…"

"Why did you ask?" Silence once again reigned. Naruto closed his eyes and opened them again. His eyes held so much sadness, loneliness, yearning for something that Tsunade could not point out.

"Do you think someone will ever love me?" Naruto turned to look at Tsunade. Tears were at brim of his eyes. It pained Tsunade to see Naruto like this.

"Naruto the time will come…you just have to wait a little bit long…"

"I've been waiting for years, hundreds, thousands of years Tsunade-baachan…I've been waiting." Naruto was in tears now...

"No one will love me because…because I'm a monster… a blood sucking monster why do I even hope that someone will love me" Naruto said tears running down his cheeks. He tried to suppress it but can't it really hurt how much he waited and waited. He never felt so hopeless in life. Tsunade felt so much pity on Naruto. She put a reassuring hand on his shoulders.

"Naruto have faith…just wait, the time will come…the time will come…" Tsunade said stepping back wiping Naruto's tears. "Now stop crying and go home and rest." Naruto stood up and wipe away his tears giving a small smile to Tsunade.

"Ok…I'll be going now then…Good night Tsunade-baachan and Thank you"

"wait..change your clothes before somebody sees you wearing those robes." Tsunade said

Naruto nodded wave his hands then he was back to his shinobi clothes. He made some hand signs then poof his way out of the office and to his apartment. Tsunade closed the window sat back down to her seat, then started doing her paper work.

Four pairs of eyes stared wide eyed at what they saw. They couldn't believe it. Naruto is the mystery person their Hokage was talking about.

"I think we need to talk to Naruto-kun about this" one of the four pairs of eyes said.

TBC…
