Chapter 45
Kakashi and Iruka finished their business at the store then went to Mama-san’s restaurant to deliver the fish they had saved for her.
“Well if it isn’t the sneaky fox and the troublesome lion,” she called out to them in greeting. “What wonderful goodies have you brought for me today?”
“This troublesome lion, I hate being called that by the way, has brought Mama-san a gift for looking out for his precious Rui,” Kakashi said waving Iruka over with the large eel he had caught.
“That thing is a big as my leg!” Shinsuke exclaimed. “How did you catch it?”
Kakashi looked over his shoulder at Iruka, “Unlike Rui, this handsome fellow happens to enjoy my cooking.”
Iruka snorted, “Unlike that soon to be dead fish, this handsome fellow has the good sense to avoid your cooking.”
Mama-san raised her eyebrow and mischievous asked, “So if you have the good sense to avoid his cooking, how did Shishi manage to snag you?”
Kakashi pulled out one of the toys he’d had carved and waggled his eyebrows, “He couldn’t resist my carpentry skills.”
“Carpentry?” Mama-san repeated skeptically.
Kakashi smirked, “I am very good with wood. Didn’t you see the cart I’ve built?”
This time Mama-san caught the innuendo, “Carpentry huh? I imagine it had nothing to do with that forked tongue of yours.”
“I don’t know,” Kakashi replied genuinely puzzled. He turned around to face Iruka, “Rui, love, are you with me because of my carpentry skills or my lingual dexterity?”
Iruka groaned. He made a face as thought he was in deep contemplation, “Let me think, do I like you because you lie like a rug or block-headed as a hundred year oak?”
After a few moments he teased, “I’d say neither. I’m inclined to say I’m with you because you are so very cute when you blush.”
“Aww, well aren’t you too just sickening,” Manzô commented from a few seats down the bar. “A man can’t even get a decent meal without unnatural displays of affection.”
“Lighten up, Manzô,” Mama-san huffed. “Pay him no mind Rui and Shishi, he’s just mad because he’s never been in love. Why don’t you two have a seat at one of booths in the back while I get this behemoth butchered. I am certain after all this hard work you must be hungry and he’s certainly large enough I can spare a bowl or two.”
Iruka led Kakashi to one of the seats in the back just on the other side of a familiar group of Snow ninja. The one eared man wasn’t with them but Iruka knew his two friends liked to chatter. They sat side by side facing the wall so no one could see what they were up to and pretended to cuddle.
“So I love your carpentry skills huh?” Iruka asked suggestively.
“Yes you do. I don’t deny it. I’ve seen the way you look when I-” Kakashi leaned in towards Iruka’s ear and whispered.
Iruka gasped emitting a tiny burst of chakra and covering both his hears as he yelped, “Shishi, you shouldn’t mention such things in public!”
The eavesdropping ninja behind them laughed and one of them made a lewd gesture while another sighed, “I remember when my wife used to love me enough to do that. Now I starting looking for explosive tags anytime she mentions blowing it.”
Kakashi and Iruka continued to tease each other as the ninja returned to their original conversation.
“Mizore says it is better that the Konoha ninja retrieved their princess after learning of her pregnancy. The Daimyo will be more inclined to cooperate with the life of his daughter and grandchild at stake since he will know the infant personally rather than having affection for his daughter’s unknown child.”
“No offense against Kaede but that damn slug woman will ensure that skinny bitch Shiko carries the brat full term and lives to tell about it. Half of our plan relies on being certain there isn’t any outside interference and that depends on blackmailing the daimyo. If Shiko dies or the brat dies that insurance goes out of the window. How are our spies doing on the other half?”
“They have obtained the jinchuuriki’s identity. The boy from those exams is the child of Uzumaki Kushina as we suspected but he is also the newest student of the Toad Sage.”
“Jiraiya?”
“Yes, there have been sightings of the two of them all over the continent and that’s just been from the past week.”
“He’s a sly one. You can’t catch what you can’t find and we have no way of knowing if any of those sightings are clones or actual humans.”
“What of the Copy Ninja?”
“In the wind. The last reported sighting of him was in Sound. He was heavily injured so could have been healed by his comrades intending on laying low then doubling back to the area or Orochimaru may have gotten him. We haven’t heard from Mousuke in a while so there’s a chance Orochimaru may have gotten him also.”
“Well that’s no great loss.”
“You’re the one who let him marry your sister. Don’t complain as if you didn’t know he was an asshole.”
“Tssk, as if a 42 year old who still spends two hours a day flexing his muscles in the mirror is much better.”
“I am, at least you know I am capable of picking her big ass up.”
The ninja were still bickering good naturedly when the freshly grilled eel arrived. Kakashi and Iruka made bets regarding the odds of Mama-san being willing to part with any of her recipes when they left village. Kakashi favored maybe while Iruka favored maybe not. She lived in a border town which relied heavily on travelers. Sharing her recipes would be less incentive for people to come back. They then discussed the direction in which they should travel as it related to the type of gear they should purchase.
When they heard this, the quartet of ninja all popped their heads over the booth, “What you two aren’t staying?”
Shishi yelped, dropped his chopsticks, then huddled against Rui.
“It’s okay love. It’s okay, no one is going to hurt you,” Rui reassured him.
The three ninjas walked around to their side of the divider and bowed to properly apologize, “We didn’t mean to frighten you.”
“After dealing with your impudent fellow it’s hard to forget that not all civilians are accustomed to us.”
“Yes, Shishi-san and Rui-san please forgive us.”
Shishi accepted the apology but he still remained much closer to Rui. In a gesture of goodwill Rui asked the ninjas to sit down.
They did.
“We didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but our training includes increasing how well we hear. Are you two really planning to leave the area?”
“Yes we are,” Urui replied. “We like it here but we haven’t put enough distance between us and Shishi’s father. It would be foolish to take an unnecessary chance on being spotted.”
“But you are safe here and we like you,” one of the Snow ninja insisted.
“Yeah, you keep that pain in the ass Manzô busy,” another interjected earning a sharp elbow from his comrade.
“No offense but you are ninja and my father has money. You may not like it but you will do anything if you are ordered and it pays well,” Shishi replied quietly. “I would not want to get any of you in trouble for disobeying orders.”
The brightest among them tilted his head in comptemplation then spoke, “You had help reuniting?”
Shishi looked at Rui then spoke quietly, “There was a woman among those hired to kill you.”
The ninja nodded silently. During Takamoto’s punishment Manzô had unwittingly reenacted the rape that had been gleaned from Arisa’s mind including flopping on the floor struggling against the invisible forces holding him down. A woman’s presence explained how a half-naked and shoeless civilian was able to survive a leap off a moving train and how Rui knew exactly where to find him.
“I’m afraid for her. She was kind to me, like Kaede-sama,” Shishi murmured.
“Yes well, let me tell you something about kunoichi – women ninja – they are ten times stronger up here than us men are,” he said tapping his temple. “She’ll be fine. She wouldn’t have helped you without first ensuring so.”
“Where will you to go?”
“My grandmother told me stories about creatures that live in the wilderness called Onbaa. I want to see one,” Shishi said excitedly while Rui rolled his eyes and shook his head no.
“We haven’t decided, all we know is that it will be warmer than here. There’s a chance we may leave the continent all together and settle on one of the islands.”
“No,” Shishi said sharply. “What happens if your father’s relatives find you and force you to marry back into their family? These ninja value their bloodlines like most people value livestock.”
“There are islands without ninja,” Rui argued.
“Ninja can travel. You’ve seen the way they run around here what makes you think they can’t just swim across the ocean and get you!” Shishi screamed.
“We didn’t mean to bring up a sore topic,” the ninja hastily replied after the timid Shishi raised his voice.
“It’s fine. Like I said we haven’t settled on a place yet. I can live anywhere as long as we are together. It’s Mr. I Want To See a Legendary Beast That Doesn’t Exist who has the issue,” Iruka replied with the frustrated tone that implied it was an old and familiar argument.
Kakashi smiled, “I do want to see a legendary beast but I don’t have to live there. I think for now we can agree on looking for an Onbaa on our way to our home without ninja and far away from here.”
“I can live with that too,” Iruka said kissing his lips.
“Excuse me, but why do you wish to see an Onbaa?” one of the ninja asked. Onbaa were mythical creatures that supposedly lived in the woods of Fire Country. If the two men were Konoha ninja like Manzo suspected that would give them a reason to go there.
“They grant wishes!” Shishi exclaimed excitedly while Rui groaned and rolled his eyes.
“Heh?” a different ninja uttered dumbfounded.
“It’s lucky to see an Onbaa. Your greatest wish will be granted so long as it doesn’t see you,” Shishi explained as if he were the authority on the subject.
“I see,” the ninja who originally asked the question said humoring him. “So what happens if you see and Onbaa and it sees you in return or if the Onbaa sees you but you don’t see it?”
“It depends,” Shishi replied in all seriousness.
“On what?” the ninja asked while Rui covered his face with his palm and shook his head.
“On how fast you run,” Shishi replied giggling.
The ninja who’d initially suspected the trip to see an Onbaa was a ploy to go in the direction of Konoha without raising suspicion shook his head and chuckled. He’d walked right into that one.
Shishi happily continued, “Although I suppose since you are ninja you probably are very fast and won’t be in much danger. The only reason Rui doesn’t want to go see one is because he runs slow and he’s most likely to be caught and eaten. As if I’d abandon him to his fate. I’d go back and get caught too. We really would be together forever after being mashed up inside the creature’s belly.”
One of the kunoichi in the booths next to theirs threw a wadded up napkin at one of the ninja talking to them. There was bitterness and anger in her voice when she said, “See I told you that didn’t only happen in romance novels. It’s proof that a couple truly loves each other.”
The man who’d first spoke to them laughed as his comrade went over to make amends to the angry woman, “Like I said, ninjas have really good hearing.”
“And the females are usually better,” another added while pointing to the man who was backing away from a kunai angled menacingly at his crotch. “Pardon us while we go and save his future children.”

MisatosPenPen: Yes, Another Perfect Wonder will end, but the story will continue. I can’t wrap everything up and get this together without it taking a serious turn into what happened here?

Wickedsinn: Yes it does! Hehehe…
