Chapter 64: The Identity of the Atacker

"Okay... I'm listening," Naruto said. He was very curious to find out what had happened in all this time.

The last thing he remembered was unleashing the demon's chakra to break the block that was put on him. There were a few fragments of him fighting against that woman... and then nothing after that.

"But first... there is something I need to know." Kakashi had a serious expression.

"The last time I asked, you assured me that you could control the Kyubi's chakra... how did this happen then?"

Naruto noticed the lack of reaction from Sakura after Kakashi mentioned the Kyubi in front of her.

"You told her."

Kakashi nodded.

"I had to give her and Sasuke some explanation before they drew the wrong conclusions."

"I'm sorry, Naruto, I didn't mean to find out this way..." Sakura said. "Sensei told us about... you know... I had no idea you had gone through so much."

"It's fine, Sakura. I would have told you myself if you asked me. It's not like it's a great secret. Not when every adult in the village already knows."

"Every adult?... My parents know about this?" She glanced at Kakashi.

He sighed.

"It was meant to be a secret... but someone leaked it to the public shortly after the event. We still don't know who it was or what their intentions were, but yes... your parents probably know about this, like everyone else."

She seemed to recall something.

"That's why they told me to stay away from Naruto when I was little... I thought they just didn't want me to play with boys... I'm gonna have a talk with them after this!" Sakura was getting furious.

"Good enough..." Kakashi pulled a small book from his pocket. But it was not his usual one.

"As for the person who attacked you... that was not a simple Jonin." He handed the book to Naruto.

"A bingo book? I already read it." Naruto still took it.

"Last page," Kakashi added.

'Last page?... wasn't that one...?' He opened the book and glanced at the last page. His memory had not failed him. This page portrayed the one considered the most dangerous missing ninja from the village.

"Orochimaru of the Sannin..."

Sakura felt shivers just from hearing the name again. Unpleasant memories surfaced at the front of her mind.

"The one and only," Kakashi said.

'No wonder I couldn't do anything against him... the difference was much bigger than I thought.'

"Why would someone like that go after some genins... wait..." Naruto realized he could only have been after one thing.

"He did not reveal his true intentions, but we can take an educated guess. He probably want-"

"Sasuke," Naruto interrupted. "He wanted Sasuke." After going through all his actions, this was the only thing that made sense.

That person had no interest in him or the Kyubi since he kept pushing him away. Their scroll would have zero value to him since he wasn't a genin. That only left Sasuke and Sakura.

"We also think that." Kakashi glanced at Sakura. "He did say something strange to him before you woke up, isn't that right?"

"Yes, I believe his words were... 'If you want to see me again, you have to pass this test'... I don't know what he meant, but he was about to do something. Then Naruto woke up, surrounded by that red chakra, and attacked him," Sakura explained.

"Test?... and why would Sasuke want to see him again?" Naruto asked.

"I think that you prevented him from doing something to Sasuke," Kakashi said.

"But I doubt he is going to just give up. He will try again..."
