I do not own any characters from the original Naruto series.
Thanks for the replies from some of you. This is my third chapter. Hope you like it.
"talking"
'thinking'
Chapter 3 YasukoNaruto had just gotten out of the forest and was all scratched up by the fight with the giant snake. Naruto blacked out a couple of minutes later. When he woke up, it was very dark outside.
'It's too dark to travel. I think I'll put up my tent for now and leave in the morning.' thought Naruto.
Naruto opened his pack and took out supplies for setting up the tent. Ten minutes later, he had built his tent and broke branches from the surrounding trees for firewood. He started the fire with a match and cooked some ramen. The only food product he brought for his journey away from the village was his favorite food, ramen. After Naruto finished his dinner, he went inside his tent and quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, Naruto had gathered all of his things and went on his way. While he was traveling, he came across a small town. Naruto noticed that no one was being rude or making dirty faces at him.
"Hm. Maybe these people don't know who I am. No one's being mean to me or hurting me. I sure am glad I left Konoha." Naruto said to himself.
Naruto went to a local market and bought a few onigiris for lunch and a water bottle. He found a tree to sit under and had his lunch.
'Things are way more peaceful here than in Konoha.' thought Naruto.
As Naruto was gathering his things, he heard shouts coming from the town. He saw a young girl, around the age of ten, running from three men. The men were tired and stopped chasing the girl. Naruto saw that the girl had settled herself in a nearby bush.
'I wonder what happened.' thought Naruto.
He walked to the bush and tiptoed nearer until he was met with a kunai directly in front of his face.
"Hey! Get that thing away from me!" yelled Naruto as he stumbled backward onto the grass.
"What do you want?" said the girl as she jumped out of the bush.
As Naruto was going to ask her a question, she was grabbed by two of the three men that were chasing her a couple of minutes ago. The third man walked up to her.
"We finally caught you!" yelled the man.
"What did she do?" asked Naruto.
"She stole food from my store. What are you doing with her? Were you helping her hide!?" yelled the man.
"No! I didn't do anything! I swear!" yelled Naruto in fear.
The man didn't believe Naruto. He told one of his friends to take Naruto along with the girl. When they got back in town, they were thrown into the town prison.
"You guys are in big trouble." said the guard.
Both the girl and Naruto shared a prison cell.
"Aw man! I need to get out of here!" yelled the girl.
"Me too." said Naruto.
It was getting dark and both were complaining about their situation.
"There has to be a way out of here!" yelled the girl.
"Do you want some help?" asked Naruto.
"What? Why would you want to help me?" asked the girl.
"So we can get out of here, and so I can stop hearing you complain." said Naruto.
"What escape plan do you have in mind?" asked the girl.
Naruto whispered a plan he used when he was put in jail for no reason.
"That plan just might work." said the girl in a happy tone.
Naruto and the girl waited until it was sunset. The girl took out a kunai that had a rope attached at the end. She threw the kunai in the middle of the wall and yanked it out as hard as she could. She yanked the kunai out so hard that it took out a chunk of the wall. When the chunk was pulled out, the wall started crumbling and the wall fell down. The guard ran in the direction of the sound. His running turned into walking as he slowly reached the broken wall. As the guard passed by, Naruto quickly tried to take the keys from the guard's belt, trying not to make a sound. The guard slapped Naruto's before he could grab the keys.
"Nice try." said the guard sarcastically.
As the guard was walking towards the broken wall, Naruto began smiling.
"Did he see you put the bomb on him?" asked the girl.
"Nope. Just like I said. He thought I was trying to take the keys." replied Naruto.
The guard had already checked the wall and was walking back down the hall.
"Quick, put on the sunglasses." said the girl.
Naruto put on his sunglasses before the guard walked in front of their cell. As the guard passed by, Naruto activated the bomb. The bomb lit up and burst into a blinding light. While the guard was blinded by the light, Naruto took the keys. As the light faded away the guard started freaking out.
"Who did this!?" yelled the guard.
"Let's wait a bit so he can calm down and we can get out of here without getting noticed." said Naruto.
An hour later, Naruto took the keys and unlocked their cell door. They both left through the opening in the wall.
"Can I ask you a question?" asked Naruto.
"What?" said the girl.
"Why did you steal from that man's store?" asked Naruto.
"I don't have any money and I ran out of food a couple of days ago, so I stole some food from that man's store." replied the girl.
"Do you want some ramen? I have some to share." offered Naruto.
"Sure. Thanks." said the girl.
Naruto started a fire and cooked both of the some ramen.
"It's really nice of you to share your food with me." said the girl.
"No problem." replied Naruto.
The girl fell asleep after eating. Naruto soon fell asleep, too. The next morning Naruto gathered all of his things. The girl woke up and saw Naruto putting things in his bag.
"Thanks for the food." said the girl.
"You're welcome. So, where are you going now?" asked Naruto.
"I don't know. I don't have anywhere to go." said the girl.
"You can come with me if you want." said Naruto.
"Really!? Thanks so much!" happily said the girl.
"But first, can you tell me your name?" asked Naruto.
"I haven't told you my name yet? You think I would've by now. Well, my name is Yasuko. What's yours?" asked Yasuko.
"My name is Naruto." replied Naruto.
Both were cleaning the area of the trash left from the night before.
"Are you ready to go?" asked Naruto.
"All set." replied Yasuko.
Both were on the road continuing their journey away from their hometowns. Naruto had just made a new friend. What will happen next on their journey?
