Last Time:
Yumi and Yobaba watched as Kakashi walked through the door of their personal home in Konoha and gave them the thumbs up, “The seeds are sown.” Yobaba said with a smirk of her own ...
XXXXXXXXXX
Naruko stood in the training ground nervously, “He’s taking too long.”
“In any other circumstances I wouldn't be concerned, but I think you’re right to be worried. Coughing up blood is serious and we don’t know how bad his condition is.” Alice said and pulled out a whistle. She blew it and, despite no noise being produced, only a moment later the bird, who usually stays near Kimimaro, flew above the trees. “He’s close.”
Both Naruko and Alice raced off along the forest floor towards the area where the bird flew above. Once they came close the bird flew under the canopy and landed somewhere in the underbrush. The Cave ninjas immediately headed for that area and found the bird perched on some of the branches from a collapsed tree. They carefully explored the spot where the bird was pecking and came across a deep, yet narrow, sinkhole partially covered by branches.
“The sinkhole must’ve made this tree fall over.” Alice commented as she carefully inspected. “It is a bigger opening, but the tree is covering it-don’t cut it.”she said quickly before Naruko could cut the tree with her threads. “We don’t want debris to fall on him especially if we can’t see where he is.”
Naruko deflated and pulled her invisible threads back, “You’re right … Clara, Nina, Tina. Go find Kimimaro and we’ll clear the opening.”
“Of course!” Naruko’s blonde hair fell out of her ponytail as Clara leapt into the sinkhole alongside Tina and Nina, but each one of the eight legged familiars left a thread of silk attached to Naruko’s fingers.
As Naruko kept a solid hold on her spiders’ threads as Alice focused on carefully clearing the opening. While working around Naruko, Alice made a hand sign and, without a word, used a jutsu that made the top layer of soil slowly crawl away. Everything from small branches to the full tree was locked in the soil and was shifted effectively revealing the full opening without causing another problem. As a bonus there was no trace of anyone touching anything.
Not long after her spiders disappeared into the darkness Naruko felt a series of tugs that turned out to be coded messages, “They found him … he’s unconscious, bloody and barely breathing … the bottom of the sinkhole is solid, it’s about 30 feet down and there’s nothing jutting out of the walls.” Naruko felt a web shift. “Clara put her web on his throat … his pulse is very slow.” Naruko murmured worriedly.
Alice made a sharp whistle into the sinkhole’s mouth and listened to the echo, “35 feet. Good estimation.” The experienced ninja took one look at the spiderwebs connected to the blonde’s hand and took note of the angle it was at. “Get ready to lock it down.” Alice said right before jumping into the dark hole.
Naruko blinked, “I didn’t say where he was-“ The blonde gasped as four ropes shot out of the darkness. Even though she was caught off guard she did manage to use her fast reflexes to grab the ropes. “I have them! I’m locking them down.” She said into the hole and she pulled the ropes tight. She then wedged the ends deep into the dirt that was previously under the jutsu that made it crawl away. “It’s locked!`” she called down into the darkness.
In an instant the top layer of soil became charged with chakra. The soil began crawling again, but the extra chakra didn’t allow even the tiniest speck of dirt to move. Of course, that meant that even the ropes couldn’t budge and was pulled along too. The farther the soil went the more rope emerged from the sinkhole. Finally, the person tied to the other end appeared.
“Kimimaro!” Naruko gasped as she saw the very pale face of the white haired spy. The little blue spiders perched on his head jumped onto Naruko as she reached forward to help guide the unconscious man onto the flat ground. Once the soil stopped moving Alice leapt out of the sinkhole and they started checking him over. “He’s not looking good at all.” She exclaimed with concern as she removed Kimimaro’s shirt just enough to examine his chest.
Alice adjusted the ropes, which she originally had tied around him like a harness to get him out of the hole safely, “Not at all. I’ll monitor his condition. You carry him.” She ordered as she helped tie the ropes so Kimimaro was secured to the blonde’s back.
Of course, Kimimaro was much taller than her so it was necessary to make sure his limbs were steady. His wrists and ankles had to be wrapped firmly around her waist and neck for safety. It didn’t affect Naruko since she was easily able to carry him, but he needed to be as safe as possible.
“He feels secure.” Naruko said as she shifted her weight to make sure Kimimaro won’t fall and, just to be sure he won’t be jostled, her spiders added some webs in certain spots even connecting his bare chest to her back.
“Good because we’re going to move fast since we’re far enough away from Orochimaru. Get your mask on.” Alice said as she put on an unmarked black mask and quickly put on a henge that made it look like she was wearing an Anbu uniform. This was done so she wouldn’t be found suspicious as they traveled through the trees. After all, they were pretending to be civilians for a while so it could be dangerous if they were recognized while running through the trees. The generic uniform would hide that until they get to the ally village of Firefly.
“You’ll be ok.” Naruko whispered as Kimimaro’s head unintentionally nuzzled in the crook of her neck as she moved to unseal her mask.
In the time it took the blonde to complete her disguise, Alice did a few things. First, the older ninja jotted down a coded message and sent it in a fake bug off with the bird. Second, she pulled out a medical bag so it was ready. Third, Alice made a hand sign. The resulting jutsu made the soil begin crawling back into its original position.
“Let’s go.” Alice said as she leapt into the treetops and Naruko followed right behind her. With the creeping soil covering up any trace of their presence they continued running as fast as they could. “Ideally I wouldn’t take breaks in these situations-“
“I know … I will be fine.” Naruko exclaimed, reassuring her superior that she could make it all the way to Firefly without any breaks.
Any weight or training seals were turned off to ensure that she’d have the strength and due to a medical jutsu she was able to make the long journey without even a bathroom break. Only when they had to stabilize Kimimaro when he suffered a coughing fit did they ever stop. With the use of food pills even meals were done on the run. Of course, that also meant Naruko was covered in more and more blood with every coughing fit since she couldn’t waste time changing clothes, but she didn’t care.
Days later a very tired Naruko followed Alice through the gates of Firefly where a team of medics were waiting. There was a slight problem with taking Kimimaro from the blonde. The medics removed the ropes and went to lift Kimimaro onto the stretcher only to take Naruko with him.
“Ah!” Naruko yelped as her henge was dispelled revealing the bloody clothes and her mask popped off as she was unintentionally piled onto the stretcher with Kimimaro.
Alice’s jaw dropped and she started chuckling when she saw that Naruko’s back was actually glued to Kimimaro’s chest, “You can cuddle him later. We need to report in.” She said through her snickers as the blonde wriggled like a beetle on her back that was on his chest as he laid on the stretcher.
“Oops … I think we used too much web.” Tina commented as the medics tried to keep Naruko’s weight off Kimimaro’s chest as they desperately tried to remove the spider webs.
Naruko’s heart clenched when she heard him breath sharply under her. Thinking he might be in pain she decided to speed up this tedious process. With a careful flare up of chakra she used a wind jutsu to gently lift herself up into the air while also pushing Kimimaro gently down onto the stretcher. As a result of the wind separating the two the webs were pulled slightly.
One of the medics nodded as they all used a medical jutsu to cut the webs, “That’ll work … you’re going to lose your shirt.” The medic said when they saw that the shirt only stretched away from Naruko’s body because it was too loose. The slack allowed the webs to stay firmly attached to Kimimaro’s bare chest.
Naruko didn’t even get a chance to answer before her shirt was cut off. Not that it mattered at all to her. Without any hesitation about being left topless Naruko did a backflip off of Kimimaro. For a split second during that flip she was looking down at Kimimaro’s face and she was positive that his eyes were open. However, when her flip was complete and she was on the ground Kimimaro seemed to be feverish and unconscious again.
“I thought his eyes were open.” Naruko mused curiously for a moment until the team of medics took Kimimaro away. Alice giggled as Naruko worriedly watched the medics whisk Kimimaro away. “I hope he’ll be ok.” She murmured softly as she absentmindedly unsealed a spare shirt from her wrist and put it on.
“He’s getting the best care. Right now we need to report in, especially since Kimimaro had information on his person.” Alice said as she supported the blonde.
Naruko could feel her exhaustion catching up to her, but she just barely managed to walk as she leaned on Alice, “Was that information in the bug you sent when we first found him?” She asked and gathered what was left of her strength to travel to the other side of the civilian village.
“Yep. I saw it on him when I went into the sinkhole.” Alice explained and looked at the younger ninja. “You did well for someone who never traveled so far non stop.”
Naruko smiled proudly, “Thanks! I’ll need to recover fast though.” She commented knowing very well that she had to be in Konoha in a few weeks.
Once the two reached the edge of the forest that hid in the cave system to their village. As they traveled through the chakra warping forest and into the hidden cave entrance Naruko was very careful. The cave system was too tricky for her to lean on Alice so she let go. The fact that she had to somehow stay standing on her tired legs didn’t help, but she leaned on the stalactites for support.
After emerging from the dark cave they pulled out their masks and held them up. With a few distinct turns they went to see the queen. Thankfully, it didn’t take long at all to see the queen and Naruko was relieved to get off her feet even if it was just to kneel.
“The information you intercepted when removing Kimimaro was very useful and it might actually provide a solution to end Orochimaru.” Queen Reine said as she seemed to be looking at some papers on a table next to her, after a moment of silence she looked seriously at them. “You were right to remove him when you did. I just received a report right before you entered and his condition is quite serious. It will be uncertain for the next few days, but for now we have to prepare for the next mission.”
Naruko nodded when the queen looked directly at her, “Yes, my queen. I will be ready to leave in a week.”
Queen Reine smiled, “We’ll do everything possible for him. I’ll have a note sent to you once he is stable enough to see people or if there’s any change. Now you should both go rest and recover.”
The word ‘change’ echoed through Naruko’s mind as she went home. Even when she fell asleep she worried about what changes could happen. Of course, her tired mind kept bringing up the worst possible changes. The more time passed without any news she worried. Every time a bird flew by she jumped eagerly hoping it’d be bringing her a message, but none did.
Naruko glanced out the window hopefully, but sighed, “I should get ready to leave. I’m sure Haru and Sana are waiting.” She said slightly admitting that she waited until the last minute to get ready for her mission.
“It’s ok, Naruko.” Tina said, trying to comfort Naruko.
Clara clacked her mandibles, “Exactly. Sometimes no news is good news. At least, we haven’t received any bad news.”
“Yeah.” Naruko murmured softly only feeling a little better as she gathered her supplies. However, once she made it downstairs Jade came in while talking with Lulu.
Lulu looked at Naruko, “Kimimaro was just escorted to the morgue.” She said and Naruko felt her heart shatter …
