Chapter 9: Aftermath

I woke up the next day haggard, hurt and starving. I slowly looked at my environment and saw my mother next to me. My arm hurt like hell but I was slightly bleeding so it wasn't a big deal. I shook and woke my mother up.

Sage: Moooooommmm!!!!! HUNGRY!!!!!!

Satsuki: (After rubbing her eyes she fiercely hugged me while sobbing) My little boy!!

After calming down my mother started to yell at me for leaving the safety bunker and getting hurt. Still I felt more pain from not eating than getting yelled at by my mother at this point. My father came home after his shift was over and ran to me and my mother. After eating my fill, my wounds started to rapidly heal. I tried my hardest to explain to my parents on what I did and what happened that night. Although the shock and awe was still present I started to show my parents what I was capable of. I told them, if possible, to keep my powers a secret, at least until I reach adulthood. They agreed but wanted to tell the Hokage at the very least. I told not to worry because I was going to his house to check up on the Yondaime and Kushina' house. After the fight with the Kyubi, the village was trying to recuperate and repair from the damage done. I can't be seen walking by myself since I was only a child in others eyes so I teleported to Minato's house.

Sage: (I knocked on the door and yelled) Nii-chan, Nee-chan!!! I'm here to play!!!

Kushina opened the door, greeted me and let me in. Luckily Minato, the Yondaime, 4th Hokage, was here. Minato greeted me with Naruto in his arms.

Minato: Sage-kun, so good to see you. How are you? Are you still hurt? What about your parents?

Sage: Nii-chan I'm okay. After eating I healed up. My mom and dad are fine, shocked but fine. I told them what happened last night and they understood to keep it a secret.

Minato: That's good to hear. I would also like an explanation as to what transpired last night.

Sage: That's one of the reasons I'm here. That and to see if Nee-chan and Naruto were okay.

Kushina: Me and Naruto are great thanks to our little hero, Sage-chan.

I began to tell Minato and Kushina about my abilities and how I was able to transform into a giant Biju- like ape monster. Like every reaction I've gotten so far, shocked was the popular go to. In truth, I was glad that Minato and Kushina didn't view me as a monster or tried to avoid me. I also told Kushina that if she doesn't want to worry too much from the Kyubi, she should try to get to know and befriend the Kyubi. I told her that it was not its fault that it was freed and attacked the village.

Sage: Nii-chan, were you able to get any information on the masked guy who released the Kyubi?

Minato: No, I wasn't. All the information I was able to get was that he used the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Sage: Isn't that the weird eyes that the Uchiha clan uses?

Minato: Haha, it is but we can't be in a hurry to blame anyone yet Sage-kun.

Sage: I'm not blaming, just saying. Anyway since I'm a big brother now I have to act rationally right? Nii-chan, Nee-chan, I will visit frequently to play with Naruto. I don't wanna disturb you guys since there is too much to do. I also don't want to be too far away from my parents right now considering what I told and showed them, haha. Bye.

Minato & Kushina: Bye Sage.

I returned home to be with my parents. I didn't want to worry them more than I already have. My parents were talking briefly but at the end of the day they allowed me to visit Minato and Kushina and nowhere else. They told me I can still exercise but under their supervision and in moderation. Ultimately I was to keep my head down until I was old enough to enter ninja school.
