Disclamier: I dont own Naruto
Chapter 2: The Head of the Haruno Clan
The following days have passed and everyone learned to accept Yuzuki as the temperaily citizen of the Leaf village. She stayed in Sakura's house for the time being although she and Sakura haven't been able to talk to each other; Sakura began getting nervous around Yuzuki and tried her best not to meet Yuuzki's eyes. Sakura spent her days going through Tsundae's files about the Haruno clan, but all the files said unknown. Angry, Sakura left the tower only to spot Yuzuki headed into the forest. Curiousity got the best of Sakura that she followed Yuzuki into the forest. After few minutes of following Yuzuki without trying to let the black haired maiden to know his presense. The cherry blossom continued to follow until she hit something, someone; the cherry blossom landed on her buttt and looked up faced to faced with the Kyuubi-container, Naruto.
"Naruto?! What on earth are you doing here in the forest? Training?"
"Gomen, Sakura-chan. I was actaully following Yuzuki-chan until I lost her and stumbled into you. Speaking of it, what are you doing here, too?"
Sakura blushed, knowing she was caught, "I was just taking a walk. Nothing bad about exercising, is it Naruto?"
"You were curious just like I am. It's alright trying to find out what Yuzuki is doing," Naruto said, grinning. "I have no problem with it, but we better hurry before Yuzuki disappeared on us. Let's go, Sakura-chan"
Naruto ran heading toward the direction where Yuzuki went while Sakura struggled to keep up with the bouncy fox himself. After what seem like a long time, they came into a clearing where a lot of white butterflies flying all over the place. The sight was breathtaking to Sakura and Naruto; they never saw so many butteflies that happen to be the same color in the same place together. It was beautiful that it was unusual and seem so unreal, but in the world of ninja everything is possible. One butterfly landed on Naruto's nose, he was about to grabbed it until it disspeared right before their very eyes.
A voice spoke behind them, "They are not really butterflies, they're chakra spirits I formed from my chakra."
Sakura and Naruto shivered and slowly turned around realizing it was Yuzuki leaning against the trunk of a tree. They knew she wasn't happy that they were following her by the look she was giving them. They were trying their bets to think of a lie as quicky as they can, but no luck they couldn't think of anything.
"Why were you following me? Did the hokage send you to watch me?" Yuzuki sounded more like she was ordering then asking. "Explain to me. You know the old saying 'curiousity killed the cat'."
Sakura began, "I just, we were just worry about you. We didn't mean to upset you in anyway, Yuzuki-san. We were..."
"Save yourself, I already know what you two are doing her," Yuzuki stopped Sakura. "You are eager to know about the history of my clan, no?"
Naruto and Sakura nodded.
"I see, but why are you interested? You don't even know of the clan until days ago. You Leaf ninjas should just mind your own bussiness. Ninjas like you will bring downfall to your village you know that. There is nothing weaker than nosy ninjas stupidly going into battles blindly."
Naruto's face turned red of anger and that he spat at her, "You sure think highly of youself! What makes you think you come into this village and talk badly of it?! Nothing is weaker than someone talking trash especially when some of us wants to become friends, but you just ignored us. Why are you so cold-hearted?!"
"Naruto, that's enough. On behalf of Naruto, I am sorry, but you shouldn't say people are weak when you hardly know them. It's wrong to say that."
"What do you expect, miss Sakura? I was raised like how am I now. I can't change fron what I become. Maybe, I did sound harsh in a way, but neverless what I said is correct. People are selfish including you and I, you can't change that, right?"
Naruto and Sakura just stared at Yuzuki, shockingly. Sakura stated, "You're wrong! I mean people maybe are jealous but they still care for others."
Yuzuki sighed. Talking to these two stubborn ninjas is giving her a big headache, but she hates to admit that these two are right. Yuzuki touched her forehead and gave Naruto and Sakura a small smile. "I hate to admit but you might be right miss Sakura. I may have been the blind one here; I guess I was used to being raised like this that I forgot how to deal with others. I sincerely am sorry for my words toward you two and this village."
"It's alright, but tell me about the clan and how it affected you. Does it have a dark side to it like the Hyuuga and Uchiha clan?"
"To be honest, yes Naruto-san. There are always side effects in clans. The Haruno clan like the Hyuuga and Uchiha clan have a thing for bringing honors to the clan no matter what the consequences are. I maybe the head of the clan, but I don't have any control in it, becuse the elders mostly make the decisions for me. It cause less problems for the head to deal with, I guess. However...there is a punishment toward it..."
"Like what?" Sakura asked.
"The death of the parents of the up-coming heir/heiress when they reached the age of seven..."
Sakura and Naruto were to shocked to speak until naruto broke out of his trance. "That's not fair! How can that happen? That's just wrong?!"
Yuzuki just smiled at him ,but the smile didn't look innocent. It was more like a smirk. "Naruto-san, in this world everything is unfair. For that reason, I detest my clan, my family because they killed their own family members. I don't really know why the clan would do that sin, but neverless it's the same with the other clans. Hyuuga clan using their own branch members as shields and the Uchiha clan in order to obtained the final step of Sharingan that person must kill his best friend. The word clan is a word I despised the most of everything. I despised my clan!"
Just as Yuzuki was about to leave, Naruto said something unexpectedly, "What is your dream, Yuzuki-chan?"
The two kunoichis just stared at Naruto wonderingly. They were shocked that he was just standing there with is infamous grin looking all happy at Yuzuki when she quickly turn to look at him confused by his random question.
"I...I don't really know..." Then, it hit her. She was used for the elders making her decisions that she never to think on her own. "I never thought about it. I never thought about what my dream is." Strange that a simple question asked a simple ninja like him would take an effect on me. How can that be possible? It never crossed my mine that a dream can make a difference. It will only be a silly dream.
"My dream is to become a Hokage so I can protect the people that I loved and this whole village. I will protect them as Hokage and no one will ever look down on me. They will have to look up to me! Believe it!"
Yuzuki just stared at him while Sakura smile at him. That's Naruto for ya. I guess he's right and Yuzuki seem to be effect by him. He always have an effect on anyone in anyway. I envied him about that.
"I wish you luck, Naruto-san. I have faith in you." Naruto and Sakura looked at Yuzuki and noticed that she truely smiled at them. "Naruto-san, you are a special guy and thank you."
"Uh, your welcome." Naruto said modestly.
Yuzuki turned her back toward them, but before she did she began, "I may not know what my answer to your question is, but someday I will give you my answer. That's a promise."
Naruto and Sakura just nodded.
"Oh, and Sakura-chan I wanna say I'm sorry on how I been treating your kindness."
"No problem, Yuzuki-san. I hope we can be friends from now on."
Yuzuki smiled then nodded and left the two chunnins. My dream...and my new friends.
Sakura looked at Naruto. "You know Naruto, you have an effect on everyone making them your friends without even knowing it. I enived you."
"What?!"
"Oh, nevermind let just's go. Hinata might be waiting for you," Sakura teased and ran toward the village.
"And what about your Sasuke-kun?" Naruto teased back running after Sakura who hitted naruto on the head.
Naruto would make a fine Hokage someday with his friends to back him up...
To be continued...
