Chapter Four
Existing but are you living?
Flicking through the books in front of him Sasuke searched for information to tell him whether or not the area had high levels of Natural energy. The easiest way to tell if a place had high levels of Natural energy was through the density of the forestry and how rich the soil was. Natural energy was used as food for soil making it fertile in order for things to grow. Areas with higher concentration of Natural energy were more rich in plants and such.
Since this village was created within a forestry area Sasuke figured there were high levels of Natural energy but whether or not that would affect his job had yet to be seen.
Closing the book Sasuke sighed rather irritated. After reading through different sections on the villages ecology Sasuke’s had summarized that yes there was high levels of Natural energy. And yes it was ridiculously high, higher than he expected. Therefore it would affect his job regardless and not just in the way Sasuke had predicted.
One of the other influences Natural energy had on Spiritual energy that wasn’t well know since there required to be a hell of a lot of Natural energy, was that it could directly influence a spirit. Spirits could tap into the energy and turn it directly into power for themselves. In other words, if Naruto started to become a violent Ghost not only would the Natural energy speed the process up but also fuel him with limitless energy from the Earth for him to wreak havoc. All in all it would be a very big problem for Sasuke.
On the other hand Sasuke could also tap into the energy from the Earth which would increase his own Spiritual power so he wouldn’t be at much of a disadvantage if he had to fight Naruto. If anything having to fight would just be more troublesome than anything. Besides Sasuke knew Itachi would force him to go to the hospital even if he was fine since it had been some time since he last used his abilities he could’ve done some internal damage without realizing.
For the sake of his mentality Sasuke prayed this would be an easy job.
....
The next thing Sasuke needed to do was research rumours and such about the house. Going to the computer section he immediately pulled up some articles of the last ten years.
Why Sasuke simply didn’t just go around and ask the residents if they realized the house that existed on the hill just a little far from the town was haunted. There was a very good reason for that.
Sasuke didn’t like people.
No, not in the same way as his brother who undoubtedly spent all his free time cackling like a maniac at the puny humans scurry about their daily live. Although Itachi would deny it if it was ever brought to light but Sasuke had passed his brother office door enough times hear first hand that evil laughter. And let me tell you something even the devil would cry if he ever heard that sound.
No, it was more of humans being a bunch of useless ingrates that didn’t deserve his time. No maybe that was a bit harsh.
Brain dead morons.
Foolish imbeciles.
Okay so not really improving but I’m assuming you all got the point; Sasuke was not a people person.
....
The first few articles he pulled up were about the fire. Surprisingly for a small village they seemed to have many newspaper companies.
Very few had had actual pictures of Naruto and fewer yet had his first name only referring him as “Mr Uzumaki”
It made Sasuke realize how much of a secluded life Naruto had lived if the very town he lived in was unaware of his name.
For some reason as Sasuke stared at the only article that had Naruto’s picture on it, it was the same one Jiraiya had given him and the only one not produced from the village. He couldn’t help but feel a strange connection to the boy.
Naruto looked so happy, his face lit up brightly whilst sky blue eyes shone in pure happiness. It made Sasuke wonder why Naruto would commit suicide or better yet what was it that kept Naruto stuck on Earth.
His parents.
Sasuke immediately dismissed that thought he never knew his biological father and if it was Jiraiya then the times that man had stayed there should’ve prompted Naruto’s memories to return and he would’ve passed on easily enough.
Maybe he had a lover?
Sasuke didn’t know why but a heavy feeling settled in his stomach when he thought of that.
Brushing it aside as something meaningless instead he focused on his work.
......
The rest of the day had been spent on other articles however nothing proved useful. It appeared after the fire incident there was rarely any information connected to the house or any supernatural goings on.
Sasuke figured either the Villagers were either really dense or they refused to print it in case they lost potential buyers. Sasuke was betting on the second one.
With a small town like this it was undoubtedly dependant on newcomers to settle in order to remain afloat. Can’t have them being scared off with the possibility of ghosts.
Unfortunately Sasuke also realize the best kind of information he was most likely to get was from the residents, meaning he had to go out and talk to people. It took everything he had as an Uchiha to not just cling to his seat and scream “I don’t wanna go.”
But he did go and he had no choice in the matter.
....
The next couple of days had been spent on Sasuke speaking to the locals. Very quickly Sasuke had found the older population denying and strange rumours instead they would go on to a long speech about why Hitoshirezu Sato was a wonderful place to live. Honestly Sasuke felt like he had just stepped into a travel agents with all it’s perky staff trying to make him book holidays to what ever overly priced place they were advertising for the shortest time possible.
Safe to say Sasuke had developed a number of ticks on his forehead throughout the day.
So trying a different approach Sasuke would ask people about Naruto however everyone would always draw blank when he mentioned the name. It was only when he mentioned him being the one who died in the fire would a look of understanding cross their features. But they would always give the same reply “Well never met him personally but it was a tragedy what had happened seemed so young” Whilst shaking their heads sadly before perking up and going questioning him if he wanted to buy the house. Sasuke had actually wondered if anyone knew anything about the house by that point since surely they should’ve known about Jiraiya buying the house, but since they were trying to sell it to him, maybe not.
It appeared no one had met Naruto personally which made Sasuke wonder for the two months he lived there how did he survive without going into town since that was what he seemed to have done. However when Sasuke found himself in the middle of the town his question was answered. There was a huge bulletin board advertising all sorts of products and best of all free delivery. Why a town such as this where the nearest supermarket was ten minutes away needed free delivery Sasuke did not know but it would explain Naruto’s unseen presence in the town.
Taking down some of the numbers Sasuke figured he could try questioning the workers, surely some of them should have spoken to Naruto since they had to deliver food to him. Although that wasn’t what he had set out to do but Sasuke felt like he needed to find some sort of evidence the person he was trying to help was not in fact a ghost when he was still alive.
It struck an uncomfortable cord within Sasuke to think Naruto was so detached from the world. Sure Sasuke was anti-social and didn’t speak much but at least there was evidence that he actually existed. But Naruto, it was like he was never there to begin with.
Sasuke never got this emotionally attached, no that was the wrong word he wasn’t emotionally attached he was Uchiha Sasuke he did not do emotionally attached. Either way he never really thought about one of his jobs before, they were his job, help them and leave. That was all. But Naruto unnerved him and he had yet to even meet the guy. He was only doing some basic general information finding but already this job was bothering him.
Riding himself of those thought Sasuke refocused on what he was doing.
Shoving the uncomfortable feeling to the back of his mind Sasuke pulled out his phone and started dialling.
......
Throwing the last of his things on the bed, Sasuke sat on the bed he would be sleeping in for the next two months.
The days had passed rather quickly and pretty soon Sasuke found it was time for him to move in.
The house was essentially in ruins, there was no working water, no electrical, no sofa, just dust. A lot of dust, and a bed in the room beside the main one. Jiraiya already indicated to only staying for the two months Naruto was there and if the house reverted back then there wouldn’t be any need to update the house now since everything would start working when Naruto appeared.
Sasuke had called up some of the food places and after mentioning Naruto a couple of them had remembered him. Sasuke had ignore the relief that seemed to warm his stomach instead he tried to convince himself it was only just for work. In fact he even asked if they knew anything about Naruto or some rumours. Unfortunately none did, all they told him was that Naruto was a polite young man and always acted well mannered every time he was delivered food.
Which still left Sasuke at square one, but then again he was wondering exactly what he wanted to find out from the villagers. If anything the real information would either come from Itachi who was researching his back ground or from Naruto himself.
Grabbing his leather journal, Sasuke knew for a situation like this he needed to record everything especially since Naruto was unaware of being a spirit, every bit of information could be vital in helping him. Already he had the newspaper article and some others shoved in there. As well as the name and number of the food stores that knew Naruto, Sasuke told himself it was because they were people that Naruto had contact with and not because it proved he was actually alive.
There was other information such as who his adoptive parent was his biological parents and what not. He didn’t have much on background yet but Itachi was working on that, it seemed rather difficult as if someone was trying to suppress Naruto’s existence from society.
Sasuke didn’t dwell on it though it was possible that Naruto didn’t like integrating with society much and probably did it himself like when he lived here.
Hearing his phone beep telling him it was time Sasuke shoved the journal into his bag he didn’t know how the house would change so he didn’t bother putting anything anywhere aside from the bed which he knew was in the same place as ten years ago. Although it would’ve been a different bed but Sasuke didn’t pay much mind to it.
Walking downstairs the entire place was filled with darkness since there wasn’t any electricity but that didn’t bother Sasuke he could see rather well in the dark.
The windows were covered in dirt and grime blocking the sunlight that would’ve streamed in but that wasn’t important. What was important was what was about to happen.
The sounds of a clock chiming filled up the silence. Sasuke could feel the rush of Spiritual power as the house was brought back in time. It was an overwhelming sensation, having so much energy pass through him rather than being creating from within him. He could feel himself becoming lightheaded almost giddy from all the power but no matter what he kept his posture relaxed and face expressionless. If one looked at him they would not guess he was experiencing mind numbing sensation that would be the equivalent of a normal person getting drunk.
Finally the whoosh of power eased and Sasuke found himself standing in a now lightened hallway but it was still dusty.
All of a sudden the door opened.
A young blond stumbled in cautiously; tan arms were wrapped around a cardboard box which seemed rather too heavy for him to hold if the slight stumbling was anything to go by.
The boy merely turned towards the living room bypassing Sasuke completely.
