An avenger is said to be one who seeks revenge. The dark side of honor yet I see shinobi do not have such honor unlike the samurai. We are shadows in the night tools that are used to spill blood. I am an avenger I seek the blood of my brother. I will cut and strike him down and avenge my fallen clan. Once the most feared and revered clan of the shinobi world.You all but extinguished the Uchiha blood line Itachi. Now once again it will be forged inside my veins runs the most feared kekkie genkai to ever be used in this world. I will kill you Itachi. I will revive the Uchiha clan. For I am an avenger I am Sasuke Uchiha.
Naruto waited patiently or he tried at least for fear of Sakura's wraith. His right arm had fully healed as Sakura was helping him take of the brace and bandages. "Naruto seriously you and that Konohamaru two perverts of Konoha! I can't believe I feel for that ridiculous Oiroke Otoko no Ko Dōshi no Jutsu! " Naruto laughed at Sakura's reaction then his face faulted as the image of Sai and Sasuke popped in his head. He shook as he remembered the horrifying image that was burned in his memory.
"Ahh Sakura-chan don't remind me of that. Anyway hehehe I was thinking how about we go on a date!" Naruto grinned as he scratched the back of his head awaiting Sakura's response. Sakura looked at the blonde she smiled as she knew Naruto was relentless in asking her out. (Hehe I'm worrying about his arm. All he's thinking about is talking me out to eat. Ahh Naruto if one thing never changed about you is the fact you always want to go out with me") Sakura smiled to herself as a small blush formed on her cheeks "only if it's not ramen Naruto. Then my answer is yes!" She laughed as she saw her blonde teammate jump on the bed excited at her response. "Don't worry Sakura-chan it;s a promise, hehehe yeeesssss I'll take you to some place nice ahhhhhh!" Naruto lost his footing on the bed as he feel and smashed into the floor his head banging into the small table.
"Eh Naruto are you all right?!" screamed Sakura as she jumped on the bed to look to see if Naruto was hurt. Naruto sprung up to his feet "Hehehe of course Sakura-chan I'm" "IDIOT, you could have hurt your self seriously Naruto!" fumed Sakuraas her hands were placed on her hips starring down at the blonde. Naruto could feel her eyes starring into his soul.
"Hehehe sorry Sakura-chan" Naruto helped her off the bed as both teens left the hospital room. Sakura glanced at Naruto from the corner of her eyes she could see the biggest grin plaster on his face ("I never knew how cute he was when he grinned like that").
Sakura decided on a small dango stand. She loved their sweet bean paste buns the stand made. She enjoyed watching Naruto devour the buns in-front of her. "See Naruto I told you . You'd like them hehe and wipe your mouth I swear your like a little kid" Sakura teased the blonde. Naruto looked up from his plate as he grinned towards the pink haired comrade his face was covered with crumbs. "mmm its...good" Naruto managed to mumble out the words.
Sakura rasied an eyebrow "What are you doing talking with you're mouth full in front of a lady" Sakura said playfully as she flicked his nose with her finger. Naruto blushed as he swallowed the lump in of food in his throat he reached in front for his green tea.
"Ahhh sorry Sakura-chan hehehe...sooooo...ahhh you...want to go for a walk?" Naruto turned away as he blushed he scratched the back of his head it was a habit of his when he was nervous. Sakura was taken back she blushed at Naruto's request she smiled at the blonde ("hehehe I see I did have a nice time and it's still too early to head back why not") "Sure thing Naruto I'd like that "
The stars were out that night in full force they sparkled with such beauty and elegance. The Konoha sky was filled with so many shinning stars it was melancholy feeling walking underneath the sea of stars. Sakura looked up to see Naruto looking up at the stars he was smiling she knew he was enjoying the moment. "You miss him don't you Sakura-chan?"
Sakura was taken back by Naruto's question "What? Naruto what made you say that just now?" Sakura gave Naruto a bewildered look. Naruto looked away before answering her hiding his sadness. "I know you miss him Sasuke and I promised you I'd bring him back. I know Sakura-chan you'd enjoy this night even more if he was..." "ENOUGH!!!"
Sakura screamed out as she turned her head her gaze upon Naruto "It's true I miss Sasuke-kun but not like that anymore. I was enjoying this night with you very much Naruto but apparently you're still oblivious to a woman's heart GOOD NIGHT IDIOT!!!" Sakura yelled out as she approached the stun blonde she reached back and punched Naruto in the shoulder knocking him down . "IDIOT!!!" Sakura screamed as she ran as fast as she could she wanted to get away from Naruto .
"Sakura...chan" Naruto manage to say he could have sworn he saw tears drops fall of her face . "ahhh What I do?" Naruto remained on the ground wondering what went wrong. Naruto did not notice Jiraiya had been hiding in the shadows he put down his pen and scroll he was spying on the young couple for his next work. "Naruto you young fool you still don't know a woman's heart?" Jiraiya said as he walked out of the shadows grinning. Naruto turned around surprised to see the perverted frog hermit.
"Ehhh ero-sennin!? What are you doing here?" Naruto's voice was missing the fire and passion Jiraiya was use to clearly the boy was depressed. The old frog hermit could see the pain in his eyes his apprentice clearly had it bad for Tsunade's apprentice.
"Come Naruto it seems there is something I need to discuss with you over some ramen my treat" Jiraiya noticed the small grin appear on the blondes face. "why not ero-sennin some ramen should do me some good to Ichiraku ramen!!!" Yelled Naruto Jiraiya could still tell he was hurt inside .
"hehehe well Naruto lets see what I can teach you young one in the ways of romancing bwahahhaha" Jirayai's face turned into a lecherous grin and laugh. He followed after his apprentice towards Ichiraku.
Sakura made it home here eyes were puffy as she was crying from Naruto's insensitive words. ("Why was am I crying that's right Naruto! That's Why!") Sakura whipped the tears away from her eyes as she closed the door to her room. She leaned against it placing her head against her knees.
"Naruto you idiot! I was having a wonderful time with you on our date till you brought Sasuke's name up. Why are guys idiots Kami-sama. Hehe I see what Yamato-sempai was try to say about my feelings for Naruto. Ahh Sakura when did we fall for such a goof ball idiot?". ("Such a cute goof ball idiot!") yelled out inner Sakura. Sakura got up a hot shower would do her some good she would debate with her inner self about her feelings for Naruto in the shower.
A mist began to form around the Nami no Kuni as the three rouge individuals headed towards there next destination. The sun began to fade as the clouds covered its rays upon the land enshrouding Sasuske's team the sky began to take a grey tint as Karin noticed the atmosphere and weather was changing. Rain would be upon them very soon.
"Hehe it seems I never get tired of this weather" Suigetsu yelled out as he took a sip of his bottle water the former mist-nin drink it as his life depended on it. Sasuke turned his attention towards the road. His mind calculating the different variables and unkowns that would sprung up along their journey. He smiled to himself as his plans were sit in motion he took care of Orochimaru one of the legendary Sannin.He gained what he needed to learn from the old relic.
"Snakes are not meant to fly. They are forever to remain on their stomach's envying the sky" he whispered to himself . Karin kept looking at Sasuke not trying to make it obvious to Suigetsu. Who was drowning himself in water at the moment .
("What are you thinking Sasuke? Whatever it is I hope it involves you and me Suigetsu and Juugo are just dead weight!") Karin turned away from Sasuke to see Suigetsu grinning at her "What is it you ass!" Suigetsu smirked
"Nothing you annoying bitch wondering why you keep starring at Sasuke's ass thats all!". Karin's rage begin to erupt she shoot an evil glare at him he could tell her eyes cried for blood his blood he just smiled at her.
"No need to get so dramatic Karin see Sasuke I told you we shouldn't bring her along". Sasuke looked back and continued to walk forward ignoring his bickering teammates. "ENOUGH! Suigetsu and Karin we have quite a way ahead of us to see Juugo". The tree figures disappeared into the thick mist heading towards their finale comrade.
Naruto and Jiraiya sat eating their ramen. Naruto was finishing his second bowl. Jiraiya looked at the blonde astonished for the fact he had an abyss for a stomach. "Naruto that stomach of yours is something to be feared." Naruto grinned at his sensei's words.
"So ero sennin what was it you wanted to talk to me about?" Jiraiya stopped glaring at Naruto for the ero name. "Couple things young one. I Jiraiya who have been with countless beauties figured I could help you out. Regarding your lack of knowledge when it comes to kunoichi;s you have to be more observant Naruto when it comes with woman their mind an methods are cryptic." Jiraiya noticed the confused look Naruto was giving him.
"What the hell ero sennin are you talking about!". Jiraiya slapped his forehead with his hand knowing this was going to be a long night "Ah! Idiot! so some proper respect I see you don't know what I'm trying to say. Well here's an example why did Saskura punch you and called you an idiot on your little date tonight hmm?" Jiraiya said smugly.
"ehhh you know about that!? Well I don't know I just mention that see would enjoy it better with Sasuke if he was here" Jiraiya raised his eyebrows at the blonde. "Well how did you know she wasn't enjoying the night with you? Naruto I know how much she means to you. Have you ever thought what Sakura really wants or why those words you said upset her so much?"
Naruto sat there lost in thought trying to figure out what Jiraiya's words meant. "How Sakura-chan really feels? I know she loves Sasuke but doesn't see me in that way ero sennin" the sound of his voice was low and quite. "How do you know Naruto? A woman changes like the season's. You don't know that you only think that because you haven't opened your eyes to see what's there in front of you",
Jiraiya looked at his young apprentice he knew his words had a lot of meaning as the blonde tried to come up with a response. "well ahhh..." Naruto held his right hand as he felt a small jolt of pain. Jiraiya gave the blonde a worried look. he remembered what Tsunade told him about his new jutsu.
"Naruto remember don't over strain yourself I know your young and think your invincible but humans are fragile creatures" Naruto got up balled up his fists and smiled at frog hermit.
"Ha! Don't worry about me ero-sennin I know my own body better than anyone I told Kakashi-sensei already. You can tell baa-chan to not worry it'll take more than a broken arm to stop me". Jiraiya stood up as he put the money on the counter to pay for the bill.
"Naruto remember be observant hehehe then you can provide me with some research" Jiraiya's face contorted into a perverted smirk as his face redden with the perverse images invading his mind. Naruto looked at Jiraiya smirking as well.
Naruto opened the door to his apartment Jiraiya's words still ran in his head. ("Heh Sakura-chan I lover her yet I know she still loves Sasuke"). Naruto crashed on his bed as his eylids felt like weights his mind began to drift into the realm of the unconscious. Naruto emerged in front of the Kyūbi's cage the water came up to his ankle he walked in the water as he came in front of the huge cage the seal placed way above insuring the gates remained closed. A pair of bright red eyes opened in front of the blonde as red mist came out of the cage. TheKyūbi's head was formed its form seemed to be made of little bubbles growing everywhere. Naruto could hear his sinister laughter reverberate through out the cell. ("WHAT IS IT BRAT WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE. EH NARUTO? COME TO SEEK MY POWER AFTER YOU SHUT YOUR SELF FROM ME") Growled the Kyūbi.
Naruto's eyes focused on the Kyūbi wondering what to say to say to the fox ("You remember what HAPPENED! I hurt Sakura-chan because ...because I gave into you...you damn FOX!!!") his words were harsh and stern. Kyūbi's eyes narrowed as he starred at the blonde ("HEHEHEHAHAHAHAHA FOOL EVEN WARS HAVE CASUALTIES. YOU ASKED FOR MY POWER THAT IS WHAT I GAVE YOU! HOW WILL YOU FEND OFF AGAINST YOUR ENEMIES? EH AKATUSKI, UCHIHA THE ONE WITH THE CURSED POWER. TRUST ME NARUTO YOU NEED THIS POWER!!!") howled Kyūbi as he made sure Naruto heard his reason.
Naruto clenched his teeth and fists angered by the Kyūbi's sense of logic on the situation at hand. Naruto looked at the seal on the cage he lost count of how many times the fox had tempted him to release the seal to unleash his raw power. Yet Yamato's words always came back to him. Reminding him to believe in his own strength and power ("I rather die than to ever harm Sakura-chan again latter fox I'll use my own strength from now on"). Naruto turned around leaving the fox with Naruto's proclamation.
("FOOLISH BOY! YOu and I are intertwined you will seek me out for my POWER!!! Mark my words NARUTO YOUR STRENGTH ALONE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH!!!") Naruto continued to walk away ignoring the fox's words yet he couldn't help but wonder if the fox was right.
