Welcome to a new story! I hope you read and enjoy.
Most likely this will be a 10 chapter story.
let us see what will happen!
~! Sea and Earth !~
She lived near the ocean and he in the mountain.
She was from a small hard working clan and he was from a rich noble family.
She worked day and night in the sea. He did what he wanted when he wanted.
Sometimes they would cross paths when they went inside the village that separated their respectable homes but they never spoke to each other.
They were strangers to one another.
Even though they did not speak to each other they have noticed one another.
He first noticed her at a young age of 8, when his eyes had caught her matching red eyes and hair, it reminded him of the sunsets he would watch alone as he sat on the quite mountain.
He also noticed how a small boy with blond spiky hair could always be seen by her side as they shopped together.
They were always together he thought. 'Are they siblings,' He sighed to himself as he thought of his older brother who was always busy.
He would ask of him to join him at the market but it was always the same
"Maybe next time,"
He knows as the oldest brother, Itachi had many responsibilities but it sometimes it annoyed him to no end.
He enjoyed going to the market the village had to offer, it distracted him of his quiet home.
He would buy some books and fresh vegetables but since the day he saw the girl he would secretly let his gaze wander over to her as she ran with the blond.
~!~!~!~~!~!~~!~
"Karin-chan!" 'He learned her name at age 10.
"Karin-chan!" The blond yelled again as he held a small fish in his hands. "Wait for me!"
"Hurry up Naruto!" He heard her voice for the first time as she ran past him. In her arms was a fish larger than what the other boy had seeing that made him smirk. "I have to sell this for at least 12 coins!"
~!~!~!~!~!~~!~!
He would make sure to visit the village 3 times a week hoping he would see her and by chance he always did see her. Sometimes alone, sometimes with the blond boy, and even sometimes with an adult. Who he thought was her parent. The both possessed that bright red hair she had.
He began to wonder if she would come to the village every day or if it was by coincidence that they happen to be there at the same time he came down from his home.
He wondered where she lived. Did she live in the village? Or perhaps she lived near the ocean as he always saw her carrying sea creatures.
Living near the ocean would be correct to his conclusion as there were times he would see her wet from head to toe. Her hair, that was growing day by day, would be soaked wet and stuck to her forehead.
The times she as drenched and walked passed him he could always smell salt. 'Is that what the sea smells like?'
He never been to the sea, he was not allowed to.
He could go to the village, his father had allowed it, but he must not go beyond that.
!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
His 13th birthday was around the corner and he was asked what he would like for his dinner on that day.
He gave out a bored sigh. "What's the point on a feast if I would be dinning with just mother?" The servant nodded but was dismissed by the household lady.
Mikoto gave out a sad smile to her youngest son. "Sasuke, I'm sorry but your father is on another business trip with Itachi, when they return once more I will make sure we have a proper family dinner."
He knew his mother meant well but the 'family' dinner they occasionally had were just of his father acknowledging Itachis accomplishment and then silence for the remaining time they had with each other before they all went their separate ways.
"Maybe we could have a nice dinner outside or we could go to eat at the village." She suggested.
"We'll see," with that being said he left the dining area and went to his favorite spot. He went further up the mountain and prepared his eyes to witness the beautiful scenery, the sun was preparing to go down and letting the darkness consume the earth in its turn.
With the little light the sun was giving he could clearly see the ocean. "I wonder how it would look up close."
A day before his birthday he decided to go to the village once more. His mother gave him some money in advance for his special day.
"I'll go buy a new book," He spoke to himself. 'Maybe I'll even see her.'
The village was a bit empty but it didn't bother Sasuke, it gave him much more room to walk in.
"Karin-chan!"
He quickened his pace and followed the boy's voice. 'She's here early.'
"Naruto come on your so slow!" He saw her carrying a basket on her head. She must have recently gotten out of the ocean because she had no shoes and her clothing were clinging on to her skin. "My mom said tomorrow is the grand opening so we must finish right now!"
"I know, I know," The boy was pulling a cart behind her. "I can't believe we made enough money for your family's restaurant and here in the busy village!"
"Yes and tomorrow has to go smoothly! We must stock up on the fish, shrimp, crab, everything! It has to be fresh! Nothing but the best."
Sasuke was not following them he was just going were the two kids were heading to. A simple coincidence he told himself.
He then saw the pair enter a small sized building where the sign said "Uzumaki"
"Is this a restaurant?"
"Why yes it is!" He heard a loud voice behind him and so he turned.
Behind him was a tall blond man that looked like the 'Naruto' kid that was always with Karin. It looks like he was giving out a flyer to passersby.
"We are not open today but come by tomorrow noon and we will be serving up delicious food caught freshly by us." He gave out a grin. "We live near the ocean and have another restaurant there but you see most people that eat there is part of our clan, even us sea lovers can get bored of the same stuff given to us daily. Also the profits not that god as well."
"Hn," Is all that he responded with.
"Here," the man handed him a flyer. "Be the first hundred and receive a free dessert."
Sasuke took the flyer and read it out load.
"Uzumaki family restaurant. Come eat fresh seafood and exotic delicacies caught by the proud members of the Uzumaki Clan. We swim the deepest part of the ocean to catch your next meal. Please stop by."
"My wife wrote that up!" He proudly proclaimed. "Ah my beautiful wife, Kushina!"
"Dad!" The loved struck man was interrupted.
"Hey Naruto!" His son walked over to him and gave a silent hello to Sasuke.
"Dad, Karin is asking if you have given out all the flyers out." He looked at the black haired boy. "1 down now a million to go! Come on dad!"
"Tell Karin I have done my best and to not worry I'm going to hand out more to the people who live in the mountains. Maybe they would grace us with their presence."
"Well hurry up!" Naruto smiled brightly. "She personally want to give out the 100 free desserts out as a thank you to each customer!"
'Personally,' Sasuke thought out. 'Maybe I could finally talk to her, even if it's just one word,'
"Can I make a reservation?" Sasuke asked.
