Chapter 2
Humming a nameless song happily to herself, a young girl would be seen cleaning and organizing her room. The young female looked no older than fourteen years old. Her peachy shoulder length hair held a healthy shine as it made contact with the sun's rays. Along with her just as healthy creamy skin just added to her wonderful youth. Her face held a feel of innocence that matched her tiny lips and ruby red eyes. At the moment she wore a simple long sleeved shirt and matching skirt that covered her slightly petite form.
"Almost done, just need to organize these books here and put a few junks away then I'll be done." The girl thought out loud, before continuing to hum.
A few more minutes passed and a content sigh escaped the girl's lips. "Yatta, finally finished."
Picking up a random trinket, an amused eyebrow raised. "I've got too many junks in here. Maybe I should throw some stuff away now…..nah, I'll do it later." Tossing her trinket to the side, she swaggered her way out of her room and down the stairs.
Soon after reaching the bottom of the stairs she came upon the sight of a middle aged man placing a few pictures around. A smile came across the girl's lips. "Ohayo Sanji-chan."
Sanji turned to the girl and sighed. "Haruka, why don't you just call me Otou-chan like any normal girl? I am your father after all."
"Hai, but its boring to call you that. It's a lot more fun to call you by your name." Haruka said with a cheeky smirk and a hand on her waist. Walking over to one of the chairs and taking a seat, Haruka looked at her surroundings. She noticed that the room was decorated with a bit of pictures a simple furniture. Haruka wasn't a big furniture person, but she did admire the simplicity of the furniture…then she got over it.
"I've been in my room all day; I need a breath of fresh air." She said while getting up and stretched her legs. "Sanji-chan, I'll be going for a walk and check out our new stand!" The peach haired female announced while walking towards the door.
"Just be careful. Don't wander too far, you don't know the area and you could find yourself in deep trouble." Her father warily said as a placed a photo on an end table. "And Try not to get distracted when reading these instructions I gave you. Be sure to always know where you are on that map."
"Haaaaiii…don't worry about me so much. I can handle myself." Haruka lazily replied and walked out.
Sanji looked at her and sighed a bit. "That daughter of ours…she's such a handful." He paused and looked at the photo he had just placed. "…she reminds me of you." A small smile formed on his lips. "But, you were much more of a handful to handle." At that moment, Sanji began to chuckle and turned around. Sadly, his pinky toe collided with the coffee table. In an instant he dropped back on the couch and whimpered in pain.
"Gomen…gomen…you weren't that much of a handful." Sanji let out a chuckle as he felt the pain lessen. "It's just like you to hurt me when I tease you…you kept me in line and gave me a few bruises." Soon the
pain withered away and happy smile grew. "…And I still loved you anyway, even to this day ." His gaze turned towards the photo.
The photo was a simple picture of a three person family. One looked like a younger Sanji, beside him was a woman who help a lot of features like Haruka, and on the woman's lap was a little girl looking no older than five. All three smiled widely and happily in the photo, as if there was nothing more needed to make them happy. Their life seemed perfect and this photo seemed to have captured it. Engraved at the bottom of the frame of the picture where the words, 'Hirosaka Family.'
Streets of Konoha
"Wow…Konoha is a lot busier than what I had thought." Haruka exclaimed to herself. Walking down the crowded streets, the young female civilian curiously looked at her surroundings. Her face was filled with amazement as she continued her stroll down the streets.
"Hmm…maybe I should check out Sanji-chan's and my new stand." Reaching into her pocket, Haruka pulled out a piece of paper and unfolded it. She quickly began to study its contents. "Let's see…it should be a few streets from here." Nodding towards herself in a confident manner, Haruka began her trek towards her destination.
As she made her way, Haruka noticed the many different stands in the area. Each stand verified from each other and sold many different goods and trinkets, but most of them sold food. A tiny confident smirk ran appeared. "Looks like there's a bit of competition for Sanji-chan's stand."
As a few moments passed, Haruka somewhat studied the different stands and shops Konoha's shopping district had to offer. "For such a big village, I've yet to come across another ramen stand." Haruka gave her hair a slight flick and carried on. "Whatever, makes business easier for Sanji-chan and I."
"Keep 'em coming Teuchi-Ojii-chan! Time is not on our side!" A shout entered her ears and caught her attention. Her head turned towards the direction of the shout and found the source. It came from a young blond haired boy dressed in an orange jumpsuit who at the moment began to eat his ramen. "Eh? So there is another ramen stand around here. Hmm…maybe I'll go check it ou-"
She could not finish her sentence as she saw the blond messily and rudely downed his bowl of ramen. "Ew! Disgusting! Forget about going there." She had to suppress a light stomach ache from the sight of blonde's eating display. "I'll have to try and avoid that blond customer in the future." With that said, Haruka walked off and continued her search for her stand.
A Few Moments Later…
The sun was already beginning to set, and Haruka had yet been able to locate her destination. "Ah! Where is it!? Is it invisible or something!?" An annoyed Haruka shouted her frustrated lungs out and gripped her hair. She looked at her paper and began to reread the directions.
"Hmm…alrighty then. I took a turn here and walked down the main street of the market district." She rubbed her chin as she read the directions a loud to herself. "…then pass the…uh…um…the…smug mark?" She ended as if she was asking a question. "What was this smug mark?" Haruka intently stared at the smug, studying its figure, and overall trying to figure out what the hell it was.
"It looks like some kind of stand…" She said as she narrowed her eyes.
"Hmm…there looks like there is another smug beside the first smug. Probably the name of the stand or something." The young civilian girl continued to study the second smug. The more she stared at it, the more she was able to just barely understand what the smug said.
"It looks like a bowl of ramem." There was a sudden click in her mind. "Ah, I there is only one ramen stand in this area! It has got to be that Ramen Stand I saw earlier! It just has to be it!" Haruka announced proudly with a triumphant smirk, as she crossed her arms, and head nodding; happy from being able to solve the mysterious smug.
Then was a second click in her mind. "Wait a minute!" Her voice echoed. Her hands gripped the sheet of paper and glared the smug marks. "…I've been walking around trying to find my stand and it ends up all the way back there!? I've wasted so much time!"
Haruka released a loud frustrated groan. During the heat of the moment, she stared at the smug mark. She once again let out a frustrated groan, although this time it was much quieter. In an act of frustration, Haruka ripped the paper to shreds and threw the remains into the wind. "Die you stupid piece of paper! Stupid remnants of a tree!" She shouted, her breath was a bit heavy from the shouting, but all in all she was just simply over reacting.
"I'd usually never make simply direction mistakes like this! Something must have taken my attention around that area." She placed a finger on her chin and began to remember what had happened back at the ramen stand.
Flashback
"Keep 'em coming Teuchi-Ojii-chan! Time is not on our side!" A shout entered her ears and caught her attention. Her head turned towards the direction of the shout and found the source. It came from a young blond haired boy dressed in an orange jumpsuit who at the moment began to eat his ramen. "Eh? So there is another ramen stand around here. Hmm…maybe I'll go check it ou-"
Flashback End
"That blond haired pig! His disgusting eating habits where so bad that I just wanted to get away from the area as soon as possible that I didn't notice what that I already was in the vicinity of my stand!" She shouted again, this time using big words like 'vicinity,' 'habits,' and 'the.' Along with putting the blame on others.
"Whatever, I'll get revenge for this some other time. Maybe he'll be a customer, that's when I'll get my revenge." She plotted against our blond fox child, even if he had actually done nothing wrong. "I'll just go home and…" Haruka took a step, but stopped mid-way as she noticed something. "Oh no! Why'd I rip the directions!? It was the only thing that could show me the way home!" Panicked Haruka.
In an instant, Haruka let out a forced giggle in hopes of keeping her moral up. "No biggie, I can make my way home easily." She looked at her surroundings and found that it seemed darker than usual, along with the nightfall approaching faster. "Ok…maybe not that easy, but I'll find my why home none the less!" Her voice contained a slight hint of courage, but anyone could easily tell she was afraid.
Taking a deep breath then releasing it a few seconds later, Haruka began her way back home. "I'll just try and retrace my steps. Eventually I'll find something familiar." With that, she began walking. Simply walking, in a direction her intuition told her, not knowing if it was right or wrong, but to her she thought it was right.
Lower Class Area of Konoha(1)
Haruka felt rather uncomfortable at the moment. The streets where dirty, and seemed empty. But it was just the weird atmosphere that just flowed with a "you're not alone" feeling. The homes looked to be in horrible shape along with everything else.
The young civilian girl forced herself to hold in a gulp of fear. She didn't anticipate ending up in a situation like this. Haruka was terrified, she knew that, but she kept a strong outer front and refused to fully accept her fear.
"Just stay calm. This is just a slight detour I accidently took. Any moment I'll find my way to a safe and much more comfortable area." She chanted to herself as she walked on. Her face looked strong as she was used to keeping her facial expressions under control.
"Got to hold my fear in and keep a strong outer appearance!" Haruka huffed and pushed her fear as far back into her mind as she could. "Just ignore everything and in no time I'll-AHHHH!!" A sudden crash echoed through the dark streets, scaring the young girl.
In fear of the unknown, Haruka franticly sprinted forward, her eyes tightly shut with a small amount of tears forming at the edge of them. "Kyaaaa!" She let out another terrified screech.
After a few meters of running, she found herself in a dark ally. The ally held a foul stench that churned Haruka's inner stomach. She had to refrain herself from blowing her chunks on to the floor. Finally, after forcing down a swallow, Haruka's stomach calmed down to a point where it felt comfortable enough for her to take action.
In a quick fashion, Haruka turned and began to walk out of the disgusting ally, only to bump into something, or more like someone.
"Oh? Look what we have here? What's a girl like you doing here all alone?" A gruff looking man announced as he perversely eyed Haruka. He held both her shoulders tightly with his hands. A sickening grin sudden appeared as he continued to stare at Haruka, as if he was undressing her with his eyes.
Haruka stood there in fear. She did not like the way he stared at her one bit, but not one to show her weak side, Haruka once again put up a strong front in an attempt to defend herself. "I…Its none of your business. Let go of me and leave me alone." She ordered as her slightly watery eyes met the man's.
"Aw, come on don't be like that." The man's face suddenly seemed closer. The man's grin widened as his face closely stared at Haruka's.
Haruka could smell the strong scent of sake from the man's breath. She instantly drew her face back in order to create some distance from both the man's face and his disgusting odor. "I said leave me alone. I'm fine!" She ordered once again.
In an instant, Haruka broke free of the drunken man's grip and took a few steps away from the man.
The man's face sudden changed to one of anger. "Hey!" He shouted which caused Haruka to flinch from his sudden out burst. "All I did was try to help you and be nice to you so we could have a good time!" The man continued on. His drunken rage began to get the better of him.
Haruka took another step backwards. Her fear began to slowly show with a few tears that began to form. "Then I'm sorry. I just want to be left alone! I don't need any help especially from a drunken bastard like you!" She exploded a bit but quickly quieted down after.
"You little bitch! Come here!" The man sudden lunged forward and tightly grabbed one of Haruka's wrist which earned him a loud screech that echoed through the ally. "Shut up! I tried to be nice, but I'll just take what I want." The man licked his lips and smiled insanely. "Oh we are going to have so much fun!"
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!" Haruka shouted once more as she tried to break from the man's grasp. "Let me go! Let me go!" She pleaded and violently continued to break free.
"Don't worry, I'll let you go…when I'm done." He let out an evil laugh as his hand slowly reached for her breast.
Hot tears began to flow out of her eyes. She was terrified and felt sick of what was about to happen to her. He could feel his hand drawing closer to her body. "Someone! Help!"
"Hey! What the hell are you doing damn it!?" A sudden voice entered. Surprising both the man and Haruka enough to stop. The man turned his head out of anger and searched for the source of the voice.
"Where ever you are, mind your own damn business! This is between me and this bitch of a girl!" The man roared out. His eyes still looking around for the source of sound.
"Up here! Now why don't you let the girl go and I won't kick your ass so hard."
The moment the man heard this announcement, he eyes shot up above him. There stood a young pre-teen, with wild blond hair that spiked all over his head. Both the man and Haruka could see the teen's cerulean orbs called eyes along with his slightly tanned skin just enough through the darkness. But what stood out the most was the male teen's choice of clothing; an orange jump suit and a polished yet slightly beat up Konoha headband.
"Its you! The demon brat!" The man announced with venom.
"It's the disgusting pig I saw at the other ramen stand!" Haruka thought, as she remembered the boy.
"Now as I said, let her go already! Or else I'll have to kick your ass so hard that even Ibiki would feel sorry for you!" Said the so called 'demon brat' or better known to us fans as Uzumaki Naruto. The young blond genin smirked confidently as he pointed at the drunken man.
The drunken man pushed Haruka away to the ground and turned his attention towards Naruto. He smirked also in return. "You're just a genin. Even a civilian like me could beat you! And after I kill you
and become a hero…" He turned his gaze towards the fearful female on the ground. "…I'm going to have some fun with her."
Haruka fearfully wrapped her own arms around her body. She shivered slightly at the thought of the man's words.
Naruto noticed how uncomfortable the civilian girl felt. "Hey! Stop saying weird things and scaring the girl already!"
The man's smirk only wider as he continued on. "Oh? Well, I bet she can't wait for when I forcefully tear her cloths off so I can stare at her young body, her untouched virgin body. I can't wait to have my hands touching every inch of her body, exploring her as if she was my own property. Then I'll-"
Gritting his teeth, Naruto began to get angry at the man's words. He hated people like him. He hated hearing about people being forced on upon by others, especially those from Konoha. If he was going to be Hokage, he was going to have to stop these crimes and this was no different. "Shut your mouth you drunken bastard! That's it! I'm going to layeth the Narutimate smack down on your ass!"
"As if a brat like you-" His statement was cut short by a sudden impact that collided with the man's jaw caused from none other than a certain blond's fist. A sickening snap was heard along with another fist that violent impacted with the man's jaw.
"Just because I'm a brat and a genin doesn't mean I can't beat a drunk like you!" Naruto announced confidently as he watched the man's body fall to the ground, but quickly, well as quick as a drunken man could got back up.
Blood dripped from the drunk's mouth. An angry expression appeared as he blindly charged for our blond hero. "Die you stupid little-Gah!"
The man was once again interrupted mid-sentence, this time by a kick that was planted in his stomach. The man coughed as he gasped for air. Saliva mixed with blood dripped from his mouth as he continued to cough. "Normally I wouldn't even think about hurting an innocent civilian, but I can't say you don't deserve it." Naruto said in a sort of 'cool' matter, but was suddenly cut short by a sudden rumble in his stomach. "Arg…my stomach still hurts. I'd better finish this quick before I ruin my pants." He quietly said to himself.
"You're lucky I don't have time to give you a proper' Narutimate Ass Kicking' right now." Naruto pointed his finger towards the beaten man as he smirked. "…But, I guess this will have to do for now." Without warning, Naruto drew his leg back and suddenly swing it forward. Directly into the crotch of the drunk.
Like any other man with balls, the drunk fell to the ground quivering in pain. Naruto watched on, pleased with the out come of his destruction. At that moment, his trademark 'foxy grin™' appeared. "How does it feel to be the first to experience my newest technique!" Naruto paused in a weak attempt to create suspense. "The great Narutimate Style: Shattered Dreams No Jutsu!"
The man only groaned painfully as a response before going silent. "Oh…maybe I hit his balls a bit too hard back there…nah, he'll be fine…I hope." Naruto chuckled slightly at himself as his mind quickly began to worry a bit. "Ah! The girl, I forgot about her!" His attention quickly changed towards the girl.
Slowly and carefully, Naruto walked towards Haruka. He smiled slightly at her as she knelt down towards her and looked at her in the eyes. "Hey, are you alright? You're not hurt too bad are you?" He asked a bit worriedly for the girl's well being.
Haruka stared at her blond haired savior for a moment. She felt a warm aura coming from the boy, along with a safe feeling just by looking into the blue pupils of his. She took the time to study the boy's face a bit, she noticed a few whisker like birthmark that ran across his cheeks. It sort of gave him a bit of a cute animalistic feel.
"Answer me…please? I'm just worried about what that drunk did to you…" He asked the peach haired female. This time his eyes stared at her a bit more intently.
"I'm…fine. I'm just a little…startled by the entire thing." Haruka suddenly answered back. Her voice was weak from shock, but still able to talk. At that moment, Haruka slowly stood up, but dropped down and thankfully caught by Naruto who by chance was just in front of her at just the right spot.
"Ah, are you o..kay?" Naruto asked but slowed down by the end of his sentence. He felt the girl began to cry on his shoulder. This complete stranger who he had never met before and had just saved a few moments ago was crying on him. Not knowing what to do in this situation, Naruto simply rubbed her back in an attempt to sooth her. "Err…it'll be fine alright? I'll protect you and get you home safely."
Haruka cries slowly began to wither into one of a simple soft whimper. "Thank….you…" Was all she was able to say before passing out on the spot.
"Eh? Hey, wake up! How am I supposed to get you home when you can't tell me where you live?" He asked her, but sighed. He gently carried her bridal style as he quickly and easily jumped onto a roof top. "I can't leave her here…I guess I'll have to bring her home for now and wait for here to wake up."
With those words said, Naruto gave a large leap and lunged over towards another building towards his house. He would soon begin to regret taking that action. "Oh no! I can feel it leaking! I got to get home as fast as I can!" He quickly thought as he felt his stomach ache more and more. It was a sad sight. After such a cool entrance and saving a beautiful girl, it all had to be ruined by a simple toilet problem.
The drunk may have gotten a devastating blow towards his jewels, but Naruto's toilet was going to get the worst of it all. A full scale attack of the 'Narutimate Style: Liquid Diarrhea No Jutsu.'
Author Notes: I'll come clean with this chapter…I rushed to do it. Especially the ending as you can tell. I'm sorry about this, I actually didn't want to do this chapter but oh well. I can't progress the story unless I type it. Anyway, I hope you at least some what enjoy the newest chapter and forgive me for the crappy quality at the moment.
Also, you may or may have not noticed, but I've decided to stop using short Japanese terms and only use them once in a while. I sort of found it annoying to constantly do that, but yeah. Besides that there isn't any significant about this chapter.
(1) I mean the ghetto part of Konoha. You know, Da Hood. For shizzle my nizzle, yeah! (That was lame)
Read and Review. Because if you do, Kishimoto just may make the Naruto Manga sense, by actually making the main character, NARUTO, get what he deserves…and that is absolute power with no flaws along with WORLD DOMINATION and a harem of hot woman.
