Running around the streets of Konoha was never intended but then neither was
getting chased by ninjas. Should I have just let him leave my tent that day? But then I
would never gotten my chance to meet the one I knew was meant for me the one who
could change everything.
Four Months Ago
Naruto
I'm wondering through the streets of a small snow trading outpost while waiting
on a list of goods for the Hokage that is being filled. I can't help but be distracted by all
the odd little shops and stands surrounding a monument to the Snow Maiden. A woman
who would guide travelers through the snow and sing sorrowful songs.
But then for no reason while leading a young married couple through the
snow, she collapsed and died. In her honor the couple started a small shop that now
carries anything you could need. Then many other small stands and shops came to
surround and honor the maiden, the place was named Maiden of Ice Trading Post. The
snow always is a different color during a certain season, like its fall, so the snow has a
red tint to the white. Spring snow is green, winter's is blue, and summer's is purple.
Now I am getting a LOT of special scrolls that will track anything that we can
use to find Sasuke...
"Fortunes get your fortunes told here! Madame Dragon is never wrong. She
also does compatibility tests and finds lost items, pets, and people!"
Now that sounds interesting why not? I mean I have a little extra change for
helping Iruka's new class lighten up while standing in as an assistant. An, Iruka even
said I made an impression on a few of the shy ones who wouldn't talk. He says they talk
too much now, but can he really blame me?
As I walk towards the emerald green tent I see that it was a young boy who was
announcing the fortune teller. With his brown hair he wouldn't have been so out of place
if not for the face paint and his bright orange eyes.
The face paint was purple and was a star over his right eye and swirls that
covered that entire side of his face. His clothes matched his paint, purple puffy pants
with a gold belt, a purple and gold vest with an emerald green long sleeve underneath for
warmth, he has emerald boots and earmuffs as well.
"Hello fine sir what would you like from Madam Dragon this beautiful snowy
day?"
"I need her to find somebody for me, how much will it cost?"
"Madam Dragon doesn't take money, just know she won't see you if you have
selfish intent. Expect a crowd to form while you wait; they want to see if you are allowed
in. That's why a lot of people won't even try. So will you brave public humiliation for
this person to be found?"
"Of course, there's no way this old dragon-lady can refuse me, I want to be
Hokage someday, you can't have 'purer' intentions than that."
"Let's hope you're right, I'm Marunoto by the way, Madam Dragon's
apprentice." He extends his hand for me.
"Naruto Uzamaki pleased to meet you." I grasp it and we shake hands and I
see that he also has paint on his hand and wrist. Wait, I'm not sure its paint, because I
can't feel anything on his hand.
"Wait here." Marunoto then goes into the emerald tent, from a small flap in the
front I didn't see 'til he moved it, I now see the tent itself has different colored dragons
on it that almost seem to move.
I somehow feel eyes on my back and I turn from the tent to see almost half the
trading post is staring at me. When Marunoto said a crowd would gather he wasn't
kidding. I try to ignore them, but after about ten minutes they could probaly see a
muscle twitching on the back of my head. Then finally I see Marunoto come out and
take in a breath of air like in a cheesy movie.
Then Marunoto smiles and waves me in.I could feel the gllares from the crowd
and heard the gasps of shock but I made it this far, I had to go in.
