Naruto In Time
Chapter 1
Like other he didn't want to be here, but at least he was one of the few that were willing to help me when I need. I didn't know what drove me to talk to him that day, he was here just because Ji san assign him to protect me today. "Weasel san you are different today, why?"
"No particular reason. How did you know it was me?"
"Your chakra tell me so… it's different."
"Different?"
"Quiet different."
"Is that a compliment?"
"You should take it as."
"Weasel san can you do me a favor?"
"Depends."
"Can you help me buy some fabrics?"
"For what."
"Clothes of course, is easier this way."
"I suppose."
"Here you go dark blue and black please." Handing over her frog money pouch, "a durable material if you please."
"I'm not supposed to leave you alone."
"I won't move from here, I promise."
When anbu san left I made my way deeper into the forest, stopping before the tree that I have been paying visit to for the pass month, I was careful to make sure that Weasel san never saw. I sit down silently on the grassy ground pulling the nearby leaf I begin to play a soft tune that call the weasel in the next to me. It was by chance that I found the nest when a snake about to attack it, already killed the nest parent I took the time to raise the parentless nest. For a month I raise and train them as the ninja would with their nu kin, teach them speech, tracking, and how to attack.
They were wary of me at first because of the nine tail fox seal in me, ji san still ignorant hoping that I would never find out, but I found out even with the law people still talk behind his back, and ninja weren't actively enforcing the law. The only ninja I could trust with my life is Weasel san and ji san in a way.
I pick up the six brown and white weasels and make my way back to where I promise to wait for Weasel san. "Today you are all going to meet your summoner."
"He is a bit quite but he will take care of you from now on."
"Do you hate us?"
"No, I don't hate any of you. You guys can visit me when ever you want, but I want to give you guys a world outside of the woods now that you guys a capable of human speech, staying with me is not a good idea. Humans are cruel creature, they can love, they can hate, but they can't forget, and most of them don't know how to forgive."
"Then how will we know if the person we going with is nice?"
"You don't, but I trust him with my life I hope that you will stay with him."
"Do you like him?"
My face soften, I remember when I explain the concept to them. "I do, I like him very much; because he is the few benevolent people in this forsaken village. Promise me try to understand him first before you decide to leave or look for another shall you choose to give up your contract."
A chore of "I promise." Made me happy, is like parent sending their child off.
"Will these do?"
"Weasel san," I look to the bundle of cloth in his hand their were unique type of silk material very durable and soft, it cost a lot more than what's in my wallet that I give to Weasel san. "There very nice but its quite expensive."
"Don't worry about it."
He handed me the fabric and my un-open wallet, "I wasn't look for charity when I ask you to help me buy fabrics Weasel san, return them." I was getting angry with this I hate charity I don't want people to pity, or feel sorry for me.
"Is a gift."
"I…"
"Are you so prideful that you won't accept a birthday gift from me?"
"Birthday?"
"October 10, it's your birthday."
"How…"
"Hokage told me, silly child forgetting your own birthday, is a day that should be celebrated."
For a long time I haven't cry, people that often hurt me on the day of my birth the day that Kyuubi attack, so I choose to forget this day. Why? How can he shatter my barrier with a single show of kindness? The barrier that I work so hard to put around myself, shatter by you only you. "Thank you."
"You welcome."
He held me tightly in his arm as I continue to cry, it was warm the only other comforting I have know was from ji san. The hold from Weasel san is different, I don't know why but is different.
"Can you dc one more thing for me?"
"Depends."
I felt a smile make its way to my face, I lift the weasel for him to see. "I found them after their parent die I raise and train them, I want you to show them the world."
"Weasels? Pffft."
He laugh, the first time I heard him laugh, without restrain he always have chuckle or smile thought not that I see it. He has a nice laugh, but dose he have to laugh at me, I felt blood creep onto my face.
"Is not that funny, so stop laughing." No I don't want him to stop laughing he has a nice laugh. Luckily he didn't stop laughing.
"I'll take good care of them."
"Nee stay and watch the firework with me."
"Do you like firework?"
"Yes I like them, they like flowers but they bloom only in the night sky. It's one of the few things I find beautiful in this village."
"I see. Then enjoy them princess."
The irony, never the less I smile at the comparison, "that is something I'll never be."
Itachi POV
I didn't like the job to protect the jinchurkin since it takes away the time I spent with Sasuke. Never the less I do my job under hokage's order I protect her, she always seem to know when ever I'm near no matter how much I try to hide my presence.
Today I was planning to spent with Sasuke after seeing how father brush him off on his school work, instead I was call in to watch her again. What she said surprise me? I was under a mask I wonder how she could of have know.
I didn't know why I bought the fabric, I just though it look nice on her. I bought it with my own money under henge, it would be hard to explain to anyone in the clan if they saw me.
It hurt when she though I only bought the fabric because I felt sorry for her, but no matter what I want her to accept it. The lie I came up with was silly yet I was glad that she bought it.
Her smile, so rare I seen it, its beautiful I want to see it more often. Some how I didn't know when it started but I fell in love with her. I want to protect her, her smile. It made my heart leap in joy when she allow me to held her, me a cold blooded killer. She is a blessing to me.
