I don't own Naruto. Hell, I barely own the computer I used to write this fic.
The
next morning, Naruto woke up and opened his eyes to find Sakura lying on her
back, with his arm draped across her chest. Slowly he realized what he was
cupping in his hand. As he became more and more conscious of the one very thin
layer between his hand and Sakura’s breast, he also became more and more
conscious of his own reaction to Sakura. Soon, he withdrew his hand, got up,
and fled to the shower.
Sakura
didn’t dare open her eyes until she was sure he was gone. His touch on her had
sent shivers that felt like several thousand volts of electricity through her
body, and she was quite disappointed that the contact had to be stopped.
Having showered last night while Naruto was outside with Jiraya, she took the
opportunity to change into her outfit. She noted that Naruto’s shower took
several minutes longer than usual.
Naruto
came back into the room, rubbing his wrist, and muttering to himself, “If this
goes on for much longer, I’m gonna get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome real fast.”
Sakura
asked Naruto, “What’s Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?”
Naruto,
surprised that Sakura had heard him, started to answer. “Ano… you can get
Carpal Tunnel from doing the same motion over and over with your wrist. eto….
Inari wanted me to … play his Gamecube for a while, but um… I guess I’m just
not used to those controllers.” Ok. Lame excuse, but it still worked.
Good thing she didn’t know what Carpal Tunnel was.
Sakura’s
eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Naruto. He’s not telling me the
whole truth, she thought. I’ll
have to push him on that later. She
laughed. “You slept in your clothes last night, Naruto. You get changed and
I’ll start breakfast.”
Sakura
made breakfast for three once again, seeing as how Inari was awake watching TV
again. “Inari-kun?” she asked from the kitchen. “What would you like in your
omelet?” Her omelet with diced tomatoes and mushrooms were almost done.
Naruto’s with ham, onions, and peppers sat on the table, ready to eat.
After
eating up, Naruto started doing the dishes as Sakura looked at the map. A
small note dropped out of the map as she unfolded it. “Naruto, there’s a note
addressed to you here. It looks like Jiraya-sama’s handwriting.” She stood up
and brought it over to the sink where Naruto was washing the dishes. She
unfolded it so he could read it without getting it all wet, and sat back down
to look at the map.
Naruto,
your next stop should be the Sound Village, in the Country of the Rice Fields,
and then Tea. I came here to tell you that the spy for both the Earth and the
Water are going to be in the Tea. They sent coded mail a few days ago. The
Tea Country is having the Sakura Blossom Festival around now, so it’s going to
be very busy. The rendezvous point and time are on the bottom of this note.
Have fun at the festival. Local tradition in Tea Country says that the
festival is a time to celebrate newfound love, and its even named after her.
You’ll have to dress up in traditional Japanese clothing, which can cost a lot.
Your frog wallet should feel a bit heavier today than yesterday. You can
thank me when you get back. Oh, and since the Sand has officially surrendered
to us, we don’t need to spy on them in secret. They’ve opened to us, and we’re
now inspecting their country with their permission, so don’t go and collect
spying info from them. Finish this one and you’re all done.
You
guys are pretty famous around here. To get to the Sound, take the Sasuke
Bridge. When you get back here, take the Kakashi Bridge to get to the Tea.
Remember,
Naruto, I’m living through you, so I want details!
-Jiraya
Author’s Note: Since this takes
place right after finding Tsunade, and since Sasuke is still in the hospital,
the events that took place in the anime in Tea Country have not happened yet.
Naruto
rolled his eyes at the last sentence, smiling at the rest of the note.
“Sakura-chan, after we find the Sound spy, we’re going to go to the Tea Country. We’ll meet both Earth and Water there.” Naruto turned to look at Sakura, and smiled broadly. “It’s the
season for the Sakura Blossom Festival, and we can take a few days off to enjoy
it.” Sakura blushed, knowing what the Sakura Blossom Festival was about.
The
trip to meet Ibiki in the Sound went uneventfully. On the road back to the Wave Country,
Naruto and Sakura got to talking about what they would do when they returned to
Konoha.
“Oh,
and I’ll have to tell Ino that she can have Sasuke-kun all to herself because…”
Sakura said. She hugged Naruto’s arm and rested her head on his shoulder. “…because
I’ve got someone better.” She smiled. “So, Naruto, what are you going to do?”
Naruto
smiled. “Well, I’m going to have to tell Shikamaru. He’ll probably just
complain about it and call either you or just the whole female gender
troublesome. Neji will say something about it being fate that we got together,
and Kiba will make rude comments about things that we could have done while
alone together.” Naruto looked up to the sky. “As for Hinata…” Naruto smiled
as Sakura gave a small ‘huh?’ “I’ve known she liked me for a long time. I
didn’t know how to deal with it, though. I’m going to have to have a long talk
with her.”
A
familiar, unsettling voice sounded out from the road around them. “Naruto-kun…
What are you doing here?”
Naruto
scowled. “Kabuto.”
Sakura
turned. “Kabuto-san? The guy from the Chuunin exam? What is he doing in the
Sound?”
Naruto
growled. “He’s Orochimaru’s right hand man.”
Kabuto
laughed, his voice echoing off the trees, making it hard for Naruto to find
him. “Well, now I’m not just his right hand man. Thanks to your Third Hokage,
I’m his whole right and left arms.”
Naruto
groaned. “That’s a bad joke, bastard.” He looked around, and shouted
tauntingly, “Are you just gonna stay hiding all day, or do you want me to rip you
a new one like last time?”
Sakura
took a step back as Naruto took one forward. Naruto formed a familiar hand
seal. “Kage Bunshin no Ju…”
Kabuto
cut him off. “Please. Still using that same trick over and over?”
Sakura
gasped as Kabuto appeared in front of Naruto. His eyes sharpened as he eyed
the two Leaf shinobi. Sakura gasped again as she sensed his intent to kill.
It was nearly as strong as the one she felt in the Forest of Death. Kabuto’s
intent to kill was almost as strong as Orochimaru’s own.
“Don’t
worry, Sakura-chan,” Naruto said. “No matter what, I will protect you.”
Kabuto
turned to Naruto. “I still owe you for that Rasengan technique, huh? By the
way, even with my regeneration abilities, that still stings when I wake up in the morning.”
Kabuto laughed as he eyes moved back and forth from Naruto to Sakura. “I think
I’ll prove you wrong as payback.”
Green
chakra began to glow around Kabuto’s hands. Naruto drew his ninja-to.
A/N: You have no idea how tempting
it was to pull this scene off like the Monty Python and the Holy Grail Black
Knight scene. But I figured that it was not exactly appropriate.
Naruto
charged straight in. Kabuto laughed. “Still the kawaii genin with no
strategy. Go home, before you get yourself hurt.”
Naruto
sliced diagonally for Kabuto’s chest, but the Sound ninja easily dodged the
attack. “If I recall correctly,” Naruto said as he turned for another swing,
“Last time you said that, you were the
one who wound up going home hurt.”
Kabuto
easily avoided this swing as well, and this time placed his green-chakra hand
on the back of Naruto’s neck as he fluidly dodged away.
Naruto
gasped and fell unceremoniously to the ground. Kabuto had severed his spinal
cord. He couldn’t move or feel anything below the neck.
Kabuto
kicked Naruto in the face, punting him towards Sakura, and then turned his
attention on the pink haired kunoichi. She drew a kunai, but Kabuto gave her
the death glare again, and she was paralyzed. “Naruto-kun, do you know what
I’m going to do? ‘I’ll never take back my words. That’s my Way of the Ninja.’
I’m going to prove your Way of the Ninja is wrong. How am I going to do this?
Well, it’s quite simple. I’m going to torture and kill your… girlfriend…
here, right before your eyes. You said you would protect her no matter what.
You’re powerless to stop me.”
Kabuto
took his sweet time in pulling out a kunai and aiming it at Sakura. His first
kunai cut her cheek, causing a thin line of blood to show on her beautiful
face. Naruto screamed in rage as he watched, and struggled to move, but
couldn’t. His eyes slowly changed color from blue to blood red.
Kabuto
picked Sakura up by her neck, and brought her face to face with him before he
turned her head to the side, and licked up her blood. There was a look in
Kabuto’s eyes, something carnal that Sakura saw. She had never seen the like,
but she had an inkling at what it meant. Kabuto was staring at her breasts and
licking his lips.
Naruto
screamed at the top of his lungs, trying futilely to move. I will not let this happen, he thought to
himself. He growled loudly as Kabuto threw Sakura to the ground. As the cruel
ninja knelt over Sakura, his hand began to move towards her breasts.
Kabuto’s
hand was nearly to Sakura’s breast when he gasped. His hand would go no
further. He felt a chakra barrier stopping his hand. But this wasn’t normal
chakra. It was different…evil. And it was forming a solid barrier that Kabuto
couldn’t break through. “What the hell are you doing, Naruto-kun?” Kabuto
asked. “You can’t do anything from there. Just stay quiet and maybe you won’t
get hurt.”
Naruto’s
voice changed. He spoke slowly and deliberately, and each word was echoed with
a deep, dark, evil voice behind it. “Shut the fuck up and fight me.” Kabuto
turned, to see Naruto standing.
“What
the hell,” Kabuto demanded. “I severed your spinal cord. You shouldn’t be
able to move at all.”
Red
chakra swirled around Naruto like a firestorm, tearing at the ground where it
touched down. Naruto’s sword began to float, a red chakra hand around the
handle. Suddenly, the sword was in Kabuto’s chest cavity. And then it wasn’t.
Blood
poured out of Kabuto’s stab wound. Red chakra wrapped around his neck, and
lifted him off the ground. Kabuto gasped for breath around the constricting
hand. “Fucking die,” Naruto’s dark voice demanded. Suddenly Kabuto was thrown
headfirst into a tree. “Goodbye,” Naruto calmly stated. A ball of chakra
started forming in front of Naruto. A Rasengan. The Rasengan slowly floated
towards Kabuto. Connecting slowly, and slowly tearing its way through his body
and out the other end.
Kabuto
fell to the ground, his eyes closed as he focused on his regeneration skills.
As soon as he felt well enough to move, he got up and jumped into the trees. “You
may have won this fight,” he shouted behind him as he fled from Naruto, “but we’re
not through yet. We will meet again,
Naruto-kun.” Naruto passed out, falling, once again, to the ground.
Naruto
awoke to Sakura’s concerned face. As he sat up, he realized what he had done.
Kabuto was gone, and there was evidence of Kyuubi making him go berserk and
tear shit up. “I’ve got some explaining to do, don’t I,” he asked his
companion. As Sakura nodded, he sighed, and began to tell her everything.
With
a sigh, Naruto signaled that he was done talking. Sakura sat, frozen for a
moment. Great, Naruto thought. Just
when I thought things were starting to look up, this had to happen. Naruto turned his back to Sakura. Now
Sakura-chan will hate me…
Before
he could finish his train of thought, he felt Sakura grab onto him tightly from
behind. He looked back. Sakura was kneeling and tightly hugging his back.
She pulled him into her lap and began to stroke his hair. “I’m so sorry,
Naruto,” Sakura said. “I never noticed your pain.”
“Sa…kura-chan?”
Naruto was still confused.
“You
really are incredible,” she whispered
into his ear. “Did you know that? Not only did you grow up all alone, but you
grew up with that demon inside of you, and in spite of the way everyone hated
you for the Kyuubi, you turned out to be an excellent ninja.”
Naruto
smiled. “Sakura-chan…” He closed his eyes. “Arrigato.” Naruto and Sakura
stayed that way for a bit before moving on down the road.
