Chapter 1: A Day in the Rain
The forest remained quiet as raindrops poured. Red, flicker flames waved as its smoke rose from inside of an old cave. Uchiha Itachi rested against its wall, to look at the pitch black sky as its storm rumbled…just like his own stomach which grew angry with every smell of frying salmon.
"This rain better stop, if we stay in the Sound Country any longer it's only going to postpone the inevitable of us catching the Kyuubi brat." Kisame, the blue, fish armed swordsman stated in disgust.
Itachi, the formerly known heir of the Uchiha clan and now famous S class criminal of Akakushi, turned his head slightly to glare at his partner for burning their food once again,
"I estimate that it should end by nightfall tonight, and then we shall continue our journey.
Is the food finished?"
"I think that's the most I've heard you since we've set out. It's done, don't expect much. I'm not a kunoichi, so what the hell do I know about food." Kisame glanced between the clouds and Itachi as he slowly directed his gaze back to the flame that shimmered.
The Uchiha's dark, onyx eyes became lost within the flames as it flickered with life; remembering a unspoken and nearly buried past.
Kisame was quickly devouring the meal, causing the meal to fly everywhere around his face and to the ground. He continued till all of his food was abolished from site, he was hungry due to the long journey, and the time they last ate… five days ago. When he stopped he turned to take in Itachi's glaze on the burning flame. "Remembering a deep memory or somethin?"
The Uchiha took a look at his burnt fish moving it gently with his purple polished fingers before switching to glare at his partner. "Hn. A women's touch on food is all."
""Where you going?!" Kisame yelled. Itachi walked further away from Kisame as his back faced his partner. "The rain has stopped; we rest, and continue at dawn."
Kisame ignored him and threw his plate into the cave wall creating a large crack as the remaining pieces fell to the ground, and with that last thought was how he fell asleep.
Meanwhile on the forests edge of the Fire Nation, Uzamaki Naruto (bijuu of the Nine-tailed Kyuubi) was training to perfect his Wind Shurken Rasengan. Swirling in anger, the wind eclipsed the red chakra overflowing from Naruto's palms.
"Wind Shurken Rasegan!"
A Rasegan took form of a shurken, as Naruto concentrated on its destination. Rapidly the energy spun, the friction and high energy formed a blinding light as his attack eliminated a cluster of 1000 year old trees.
"AHHHH!" CRASH!
Flakes of bark shattered from broken trees limbs as they flew 40 feet away along with a blonde –haired Naruto. THUNK...colliding with a tree trunk he slid down onto the ground in complete exhaustion.
"huh…uhhh… phft.. ack.."
Panting swiftly, he laid on the ground scanning the damage he had created…The forest that used to be there in front of him was completely destroyed; leaving over 100 tree stubs remaining planted in the thin forest ground.
Pushing his arms against a rugged tree stub, his body gave way beneath him… Oh no, umph.
His chakra systems almost completely dry, only enough remained to maintain his life. Shit, I have no chakra to get back to Konoha. Thunder rumbled, as the rain droplets fell on his face, sliding down like tears from the heaven.
There he lay, thinking he should have told someone where he was going, so he wouldn't be stuck against a tree stump helpless. I should've brought Lee or Hinata with me, then a least I'd have someone to know where I am and take me home. Baa-chan is going to be extremely pissed at me leaving the village without permission, let alone not knowing where I am.
SNAP! Our young genin twisted his head to face a pair of green bushes in deep concentration, when another sound accurded.
SNAP!
Slowly dragging out a kunai, he clutched it to his side as the bushes began to move more and more and more… until it stopped leaving Naruto perplexed. Whoevers there can't stay hidden forever.
"COME OUT! I KNOW SOMEONES THERE!" he screamed in frustration to the emptiness. Silence was all that followed to his disappointment.
"There's no reason to yell mister."
To his surprise it was a little girl, "I'm wight here. I can hear you. You let me and I can try to heal the woonds you've got."
She smiled, her head tilting to the side in the pouring rain. Her clothes were drenched as they hung loosely around her small body. Sky, blue eyes stared at him in the darkness, shrouding her presence in mystery. About the age of 6 years old and standing at about 4 ft 2, as her strait blonde hair was blown by the stirring wind. She kneeled next to him as her hands began to glow in a light green light, hovering above his chest.
"Yor chakras all gone."
"Thanks for stating out the obvious." He stated annoyingly.
"Don't get smawt with me. It's importante to figure the extent of damage done to a persons body. You must be stupid, not to have figured out."
His drained oxygen supply replenished, scars and bruises disappeared, and color returned to his face as he lifted himself from the ground. THUNK! Again he fell against the tree stub.
"Okay so as payment… yous have to become my nakama (friend)."
He shook her hand in agreement as he gave her a small smile. Naruto began to pull away as she grasped his cheeks within her small hands, stretching them. "Owww. Owww. What the hell!"
Her eye twitched to continue speaking, "I wasn't downe. I want you to show me some of your techniques. I haven't seen any new ones in a longs time… so I need to see some new ones to gets better."
Strange girl. Funny.
"Fine. I will show you some of my jutsu's, but," he questionably glanced at her, "I get to chose which ones."
She blinked a few times and nodded her head rapidly, indicating that she agreed to his terms, "Hai, new nakama. Now we can't stay out here in this storm. I'll go get my Onii-chan and he'll help carry you to the howss. Neh?"
Naruto felt his body begin to shut down, eyelids sleepily fluttering to a near close. "I'll be waiting here; I'll just be taking a nap.p.p…" Falling asleep in front of the little girl in the pouring rain his blonde hair stuck out in the darkness of the forest.
"Baka." She made a few signs and disappeared in a bubble of smoke.
