I do not own Naruto, or any other charters in the story
A young blond man is sitting at the bar. He heard there was a poker tournament in Hot Spring Country. The tournament is begin held in Ravnica. The Ravnica is a very exotic resort located in Hot Spring Country. He made the trip from the Summerset Isle to be at this poker tournament.
The Ravnica is few miles away from the Fire/Hot Spring border. Naruto hate been close to Fire Country. The shinobi way of life was not for Naruto. Naruto's life in Konoha was a horror story. He can still feel those cold and hateful eyes staring at him. Villagers and shinobi were judging him, to be a monster in human form.
A shaken Naruto pick up a bottle of sake. Then he took a big swig from the bottle. He place the bottle back on the bar. After leaving the village, Naruto still have nightmares of Konoha. Naruto can still feel his skin began burn from the fire.
When Naruto arrive at the Ravnica, the tournament was cancel. The tournament was cancel, because of the fighting in Rice Field Country. He hear rumors about an armed conflict in Rice Field Country. Naruto is worry about the conflict boiling over to Hot Spring Country.
Naruto thinking, "Good thing, I send Kasumi and Yuuha ahead. Maybe they have some information on the armed conflict in Rice Field Country."
Naruto look at the mirror behind the bar. He had his blond hair slick back. A pair of blue eyes looking from a pair fake glasses. The three whiskers like scars on each cheek made him look rugged. He is wearing a black suit with an orange tie.
The bartender walk up to Naruto, while he was still behind the bar. Naruto look at the bartender, and notice he had a tray. The tray is holding a cup of shaved ice with a red topping. The bartender put the shaved ice by Naruto.
Naruto said, "Excuse me, I did not order shaved ice!?"
The barkeep reply, "The young ladies in the booth over there. They told me, give you this as an ice breaker."
Naruto look at the two young ladies that the barkeep was talking about. He give a sigh of relief, when Naruto seen Kasumi and Yuuha at the booth. Naruto let a smile come to his face. He picks up the shaved ice, and heads for the booth.
Kasumi is wearing a purple cocktail dress with a scarf around her neck. She is wearing light makeup, which begins out her red eyes. Kasumi's hair is done in a single braid.
Yuuha is wearing a purple blouse with black slacks. She is wearing light makeup, which begins out her green eyes. Yuuha has a purple bow in her hair.
Naruto gives a friendly hug to Kasumi and Yuuha. Then Naruto and the girls take a seat at the booth. Kasumi steals the shaved ice from Naruto. Kasumi makes a happy sound, when she tastes the shaved ice. He look at Kasumi for a second, before turning to Yuuha.
Yuuha ask, "How much had you drank today, Naruto?"
Naruto reply, " A bottle of sake so far, I hope to stay at that limit."
Yuuha look at Naruto for second. She knew why Naruto drank, and did not blame him. Yuuha read the report and seen the pictures. She throw up after looking at the pictures. Hanzo and Kurokage were their for him. But, Yuuha wonder about Naruto's sanity.
Naruto ask, "Do you know what is going on in Rice Field Country?"
Yuuha answer, "The armed conflict in Rice Field Country is a civil war. A large army made of Sound shinobi are fighting Hebijo Academy. The Sound shin obi are winning the war, but Hebijo Academy making a push in a few days. I heard a lot of rumors, but I found no real evidence."
Naruto question Yuuha, "Who is leading the Sound shinobi?"
Yuuha reply, "If the rumors are true, then we are looking at Orochimaru as their leader."
