Chapter 2: Trip to the beach
"Sakura-chan…" Naruto grumbles as he gazes inside the moving bus. He was asked by the fishermen of Konoha to investigate why the shipments aren't settling at Old Man by the Sea. The Old Man by the Sea is a beach that is beautifully decorated with different types of life forms. They call it old man by the sea because one of the huge rocks beside it resembles the image of an old man watching over the sea. It is considered an omen by many traditional witch doctors that reside close to the beach.
"Are we almost there?" Naruto asks as Sakura just shakes her head with a dissatisfied look, "What's the matter with you Naruto. I swear hanging out with those kids is going to eventually turn you into one." She grounds her elbow on the table and rolls her eyes to the side. Why did she have to be stuck with him out of all people?
The compartment door is open and Lee pops his head inside with a massive grin, "Guys take a look outside." He said before Naruto jumps out of his seat and grabs the edge of the curtain, pulling it to the side. The room showers with natural sunlight and everyone stares at the bright open sea with a smile.
"Look at the water it's so clean!" Naruto exclaims as Sakura takes a gander herself before resting her head to side of her neck, "Why are we moving up though?"
That's when all three of them notice the bus moving an awkward angle as the view grew further away. That's when Hinata shows up with a paper bag that she's using to help her breath better, "W-we're going up the mountains…"
She said with an uncomfortable expression. Naruto opens the window and sticks his head outside before seeing that the bus is really close to the edge and if this thing moves to side a little bit more they will all tumble to their deaths.
"What the hell!" Naruto screams as he runs outside to the corridor, "Stop the bus we're going to die!"
Everyone looks outside as they see a young boy desperately trying to break into the driver's compartment, "Stop it! This is suicide!"
The three friends manage to pull Naruto to the side and calm him down.
