Chapter 4 - Mission

A cold sweat dripped slowly from the tan-colored temple towards the neck with Adam's apple which moved slowly as a brown spiky-haired young man swallowed hard. The brown-sliced eyes widen in shock. A gust of cold wind touched the fur of his neck, sending a sensation of goosebumps all over his body, making the feeling of panic that he had felt growing thicker.

The brown-sliced eyes looked fearfully at the scene in front of him. However many times Kiba tried to tell himself that what he saw was a dream, but the thing he was feeling was too real to be self-deceiving.

Kiba swallowed again, his eyes still not separated from the sight in front of him. His hands were clenched louder, when he saw the giant object writhing again. The very large object is orange and looks soft but is very strong when it moves to grab anyone who approaches it. The thing that looks alive is that it doesn't really live and don't think there is only one thing. There were two - three - five - six - eight - and oh Kiba didn't know how many there were because they all looked the same and kept moving to confuse him. But that's not the problem, it's not what scared him now. But rather a giant orange creature that is the owner of a long and stretchy object.

The creature looked at him with a fierce look, as if he were angry because he had been disturbed from his sleep. Kiba glanced around, seeing that his friends were feeling the same emotions as he was feeling. Their hands clenched, gripping each other's weapons to prepare to attack. No matter how scary the creature is in front of them, they still have to find a way to survive.

Kiba really didn't know what made him and his friends into a situation like this. A situation that again makes them cornered in a state of life and death. He began to think maybe one of them was being hit by karma or something - or maybe he was the one who was being rewarded for something. After all, what can make them cornered in a situation like this?

"Hey, Shika." He said while swallowing hard.

"What?"

"You said we must defeat a monster right?" he said with fear.

"It's very troublesome ..." said Shikamaru nodding slowly.

Kiba widened wider, either because he felt disbelief or because of the panic and fear he was feeling or even because of both of them. He swallowed hard, began to grasp the gravity of the situation they were facing now. It might be true that they must defeat a monster. But, WHY DOES THE MONSTER HAVE BEEN THIS AS SOON ?!

A few days before ...

"Mission?" Shikamaru asked while yawning lazily.

"Yeah. I think it's time you got a mission. We just got a request yesterday. I think this mission will suit you." Said Tsunade, his hand still moving to open the sheet and paper roll on his desk randomly, as if he were looking for something. He chuckled irritably when his hand still hadn't found what he was looking for.

"I can understand if we will get a mission. But why are the teams sent this much?" Shikamaru asked, reading a sheet of paper that was held by his hands.

Tsunade let out a voice that sounded like - Ah! - when he finally managed to find something he was looking for earlier. He sat back in his chair before raising his head to look at the pineapple-haired young man in front of him. "What did you say, Shika?" he asked with an innocent face, making the pineapple-haired young man in front of him sigh.

"The team is too much. Isn't this just a class B mission?" Shikamaru asked again.

"Oh, yes, have you read the description of the team? Sasuke will take part in the mission." Tsunade answered lightly.

"Sasuke-sama ?!" Shikamaru widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Yeah. I don't want anything to happen. After all, Danzo won't allow Sasuke to take part in a mission without a team that is enough as his bodyguard." Obviously Tsunade

Shikamaru just nodded slowly and read the writing on the sheet he held once again.

"Shikamaru. You still remember your mission right?" Tsunade asked, he smiled smugly when he saw Shikamaru nod. "Good. I want you to take advantage of this opportunity well. Approach all teams, even if necessary I want you to approach Sasuke. It would be great if the Crown Prince were on our side." Tsunade's light on the pineapple-haired young man.

"It's troublesome ... I understand ..." Shikamaru replied lazily.

"Hm, you may go. Gather all the teams for another hour's mission instructions." Said Tsunade again telling his subordinates to leave.

A sigh was heard as the slippery wet tongue forced into his mouth. A saliva dripped slowly from the tip of the lips which had swollen reddish.The naughty tongue scooped up the warm mouth, holding one by one all of its contents, teeth, tongue, gums, ceiling, none of which passed.Sigh sounds even louder when the tongue is now wrapped around the other tongue, making sensual movements, forcing the other tongue to wrestle intimately.

"-Mmnn - dob - ngn-ahh hentik-mmnpph-" a moan was heard. Sasuke sighed as the dominant one on top continued to attack his mouth, cutting him to speak. He gasped as his lowered body suddenly collided with a hard object belonging to his dominant. Her eyes closed, her hands squeezed tightly on the clothes that covered her body, while her lips opened with a pleasant sigh as she rubbed against other hard objects.

"Mmnnn-hentik-ahhh-we have to talk dob-ngnn!" Sasuke groaned irritably, even though his body could not resist the pleasure given, even his hips moved back and forth to get more pleasure than that sensual friction.

"What is the question 'suke?" Naruto grinned a little before scooping up the red mouth once more. Their tongues intertwined with sensual movements, the suction did not escape accompanying, a jolt formed along the sigh of the raven.

Wanting more, Naruto took off the heat. He licked the melting saliva which wet the raven's lips and chin, before moving to the side, licking and biting the pale ear lobe softly. He stuck out his tongue, making a back and forth motion into a very small hole there. His hand began guerrilla into the kimono that covered the body he was pressing on. His right hand stroked the soft chest, until he found a small bulge that tightened and twisted hard.

Sasuke flinched, his eyes opened fast, his lips gave a sigh when his sensitive point was electrified.

"Ahh - we really have to speak - ngnn - the matter yesterday yesterday," - Sasuke sighed, his voice sounded like a whimper when the dominant still ignored his words.

"Later, ahh ..." Naruto moved down, licking the innocent and soft body, leaving a red mark on every part he enjoyed. "mmnnn ... you're so sweet Sasuke ..." Naruto sighed happily, licking and kissing the trembling body underneath it, his tongue making sensual movements, soaking every inch of that plain body, chest, nipples, abdominal muscles, small curves in the stomach, all nothing passed, making the submissive sigh erotic. Gone was Sasuke's desire to speak, he didn't even remember what it was to go to his dominant room earlier.

Naruto also let go of his kiss, looking satisfied at the results of his work, the pale, polo body now full of red. He turned his gaze lower, grinning a little saw a small mound behind black pants that had been slightly wet because of the precum liquid. Without wasting time, he pulled the annoying pants along with the boxer, making Sasuke sigh softly, when his manhood now stood erect and perfectly exposed.

"Ahhhk" he sighed even harder, his manhood was tightly squeezed by his dominant hand. The mischievous hand began to move up and down, pampering the object that was stiffening his own. His body trembled in pleasure, his hands squeezed the bed sheet tightly, while his mouth opened let out a sigh that sounded like an erotic song for his dominant.

Naruto only grinned and accelerated, the other hand moved along, playing Sasuke's two twin balls. He leaned closer to Sasuke and crushed the red lips again, muffling the sigh of the raven.

Bam! -Bam! -Bam!

A break from behind the door shocked them, making the heat slip off.

"Oi! Naruto! Get out!" a shout followed the buzzing sound.

Sasuke pushed his overturning body quickly, his eyes widened in panic. He lifted himself up to sit, and immediately put back the kimono that had slipped from his body, but stopped when a shock struck him and pushed him to lie on the bed again. The eyes of the onix widened in horror at the sapphire eyes that looked at him with flashes of lust with a sly grin.

"Dobe! What are you - Mmmphh!" the sentence was muffled by the heat from the dominant. "Dobe - Ahhh!" Sasuke sighed loudly, his body twisted as the male was squeezed again, even with movements that were stronger and faster than before.

"Hey! Baka! Hurry out! I know you're inside, Naruto!" the voice behind the door shouted again.

"Dobe - Ngnnn! - Stop body - Ahh - Sakura -" Sasuke groaned, his hand squeezing his dominant shoulder tightly. His body curved forward when his nipples were bitten and sucked strongly.

"Dob Ahhhh - hentik - hnn Sakura-" he sighed again.

"Call my name teme! Not that ugly pink" snarled Naruto irritably, his right hand punishing the nipples, twisting it firmly, while his left hand pressed a small gap at the end of Sasuke's penis, stopping the precum that dripped out.

"Ahk! Pain Naruu-" Sasuke whined

"Call my name Sasuke" Naruto said with a sly grin, he let go of the pressure, and sucked Sasuke's penis stronger, making Sasuke sigh of relief, forgetting Sakura who was screaming from behind the door, even his hips moving back and forth following the hand movements.

"Ahhh Naruto ... faster ahh" he sighed erotically.

Naruto just smiled contentedly enjoying the erotic songs from his submissies, his hands swiping even faster. Sasuke's body twitched, his thighs trembled violently, he realized he would not be able to hold it anymore. His eyes closed tightly, while his hands squeezed the bed sheet more tightly, his body curled when his male off the climax of the pleasure he felt.

"AHH NARUTO!" he screamed loudly, spouting his sperm fluid up.

Naruto smiled smugly, his tongue licked with hunger from Sasuke's warm liquid soaking his fingers, his eyes staring at his submissive, limply on the bed. Sasuke's cheeks flushed red, his lips opened with saliva dripping to his chin, and his breath panted.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Sakura shouted irritably from behind the door, her hand pounding on the mahogany board in front of her.

"Tch." Naruto chuckled kecal, he rose from his bed and walked towards the door of his room.

"OI NARUTO CEPA-" Sakura gasped in surprise as the mahogany door in front of her suddenly opened loudly, her cheeks turned red when she saw the blond young man who was his teammate standing in front of him with open shirt buttons exposing a broad and muscular chest, sweat dripping slowly from the neck to the seductive tan's chest, the slightly swollen and red lips told him what the blond young man in front of him had just done.

Sakura swallowed hard, and turned her face red. "Uhh, II ... what are you doing?" he said stuttered, his eyes glancing at the crack of the door that was only slightly open, trying to find out whether his guess was that his teammates were taking obscene actions with someone, it would explain a scream he had just heard earlier.

Naruto only glared irritably at the pink-haired girl in front of him, before he sighed. "What's wrong, Sakura-chan?"

"O-oh, H-hokage-sama calls us - a-there's a mission-" he said still stuttering, his eyes trying to look into the room, but Naruto's tall body covered his vision.

"Will Sasuke come?" Naruto asked briefly, as if he didn't care.

"O-oh, yeah, Sasuke-sama will take part in it-"

"Hn." cut Naruto before closing the door to his room.

"T-wait!" Sakura said frantically stopping her to close the door.

Naruto sighed again, he tilted his head slightly and put on his special grin. "What's more, Sakura-chan?"

Sakura's cheeks turned red, she swallowed hard, before venturing to ask. "W-what are you doing? B-just now ... I heard a shout, a-Are you ... are there c-girls in your room ...?"

Naruto paused for a moment, before grinning wide. "Why? Are you going to play with us, Sakura-chan?"

Sakura blushed and kicked her teammates' feet hard. "B-BAKA! BASICLY EVEN! QUICKLY COMPLETE AND GO TO THE SAME HOKAGE PLACE!" Sakura growled angrily and embarrassingly, before she walked away.

Naruto pouted irritably, his hand groping softly on the leg he had just kicked. His lips formed a grin as he remembered Sasuke waiting for him inside, he closed the door and turned around. His grin turned into a frown when he saw Sasuke standing in his clothes neatly covered, his eyebrows glaring irritably at him.

"Don't think you can do it again, Dobe. We have a mission." Sasuke growled irritably, his hands folded in front of his chest.

"I think we can have fun again, considering that you sighed beneath me," Naruto said frowning.

Sasuke's pale cheeks turned red, he glared at the dominant one. "Because of you, I forgot my purpose here, and we almost caught Dobe!"

"It's just almost, Sakura won't be suspicious, don't worry" Naruto replied lightly, he walked towards his wall cabinet to look for his orange shirt and jacket.

"My position is not good if we are found out, Idiot!" Sasuke growled angrily.

"Yeah, yeah, it's up to you, my dearest submissive ~! " Naruto said with a humming tone, making Sasuke glare more sharply, even though his cheeks turned red.

"Don't call me like that, idiot!" Sasuke snorted irritably.

"Hmmm, by the way, what did you want to talk about?" Naruto asked curiously, he took off the shirt he was wearing, and replaced it with a black shirt, before taking the orange jacket that became his 'favorite' and wearing it.

"Of course, about yesterday, you acted as if killing a daimyo was nothing. This kingdom will soon be in an uproar when you find out." Sasuke hissed, his eyes staring at the dominant.

"What about you? You don't look so shocked, Sasuke." Naruto asked back, his hand inserted into the pocket of his jacket, before leaning against the wall, staring back at the raven with a curious look.

"II ..." Sasuke's sentence disappeared, the raven youth fell silent, his head lowered down, his hands clenched tightly beside his thighs. "I-"

Bro! - "Oi, Naruto! You heard, we got a mission!" Kiba shouted very excitedly as the door slammed open loudly, startling the occupants of the small room.

"Oi Naru - Whoa! Sasuke! What-" he swallowed hard when he saw the raven young man turn his head and look at him sharply. "Uh-I mean Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" he said nervously.

"Hn." Sasuke grumbled before deciding to leave the room.

"Hey, dude, how can Sasuke be here ?!" Kiba whispered, walking beside his blonde friend.

"He's my team leader, stupid, you talk as if he can't come here." Naruto replied lightly, his hands raised and folded behind his head, before walking away to follow the raven.

"B-but he's the Crown Prince!" Kiba shouted disagree.

"Then?" Naruto replied, one of his blond eyebrows rose, making Kiba's mouth hold in disbelief.

"Dobe, don't be slow!" Sasuke shouted irritably at the blond young man behind him.

"Teme noise! I'm not slow!" Naruto replied no less annoyed, he also locked the door of his room before moving away to follow the raven.

"Oi, dog breath ! Stop daydreaming, we are waiting for the old grandmother!"

Kiba blinked and shook his head not believing in his friend who had just called the Crown Prince as 'Teme' or Hokage as 'Old Grandma'.

"You're really crazier than me, dude! How can you survive after calling him like that!"

Naruto only grinned and said. "Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm not as stupid as you are, dog breath ."

"Hey!"

The large door made of mahogany opened, allowing them to enter the room. Naruto glanced around the room, finding that several teams were already in the room. There are two - three - four - five - five teams ?! He did not expect that the team sent would be that much for only one mission, was the mission difficult? Or maybe it's because the Crown Prince is participating. Tch, that means they will only be bodyguards.

"You're late." Dengus Tsunade was annoyed, before changing his voice and facing the Crown Prince. "Your Majesty, I am surprised you will come, I have sent a mission letter to the Main Palace, because I think you will not come here."

"Hn. Just explain the mission." Sasuke's order was short.

Tsunade nodded slowly before turning to look at the entire team in his room. "Alright, I'll explain the mission. We got a request for help yesterday. A small village located on the northern outskirts of the Konoha Kingdom has been attacked by some ferocious monsters. This attack has been going on for a week, and has taken many casualties. they are attacking more and more.They are asking the royal knight to eradicate the monster.The monsters come from the border forest, all of them are listed on the map and mission letter.This is the class B mission, Your Majesty the Crown Prince who will lead the mission this time.Shikamaru, I want you to help him as a representative. " Light of Tsunade

"It's troublesome ..." Shikamaru nodded slowly.

"Wait, class B? Isn't the team too much?" Kankurou asked slightly disagreeing.

"This is your first mission, the forest that you are going to visit is quite dangerous, there is a possibility that the danger level of this mission will rise." Obviously Tsunade

"Tsunade-sama, what about him? I never saw him during training, will he take part in our mission?" Neji asked curiously, his hand pointed at the short black-haired young man standing in the corner of the room. A flat smile stuck to his pale white face.

Tsunade and the other demons in the room turned to the corner of the room that Neji was pointing at. Tsunade raised her eyebrows when she saw the young man, she did not feel it enter the room before. "Sai, isn't it?" Tsunade wondered.

"Hello, that's true Tsunade-sama. My name is Sai. Greetings." Said the short black-haired young man, his lips still not released from his flat smile, his eyes curved upwards, as if he were smiling at all demons in front of him.

Tsunade sighed, before saying again. "Sai will take part in your mission. His Majesty the King wants one of his knights to take part in the mission this time. Don't ignore him, he will only be your supervisor and supervisor." He explained.

"All right, a clearer explanation of your mission is on this paper roll. You will leave two hours from now. Prepare your equipment for a trip of about a week. Disband." He explained again before dissolving the meeting. They immediately shot away and rushed to get ready.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto grinned when he saw the pink-haired girl who was his teammate waiting at the front gate of the Palace. The girl turned around but immediately turned her face red when she remembered the previous incident. "You're late, Baka!" snapped Sakura

"Ehh, but there's no one here yet!" Naruto protested.

"N-Naruto-kun, S-sakura-san" Hinata greeted nervously, as he reached the gate, behind him Neji greeted with a nod to them.

"Hi Hinata-chan! Neji!" Naruto said with a wide grin.

"Dobe, very little of your luggage." When Sasuke arrived when he got to the gate, his eyes glanced at the backpack carried by Naruto, before glancing in the other direction as a greeting.

"Teme! As much as I want to bring how much right! This already knows a lot!" Naruto didn't want to lose.

"What are you carrying, Dobe?" Sasuke asked with a small grin.

"Hm, of course ramen, change clothes, ramen, spare weapons, ramen, energy pills, ramen, then ramen and there are more ramen, and raadddauww!" he gasped when his head was hit hard.

"BAKA! Do you really want to go on a picnic ?! Just bring ramen!" Sakura growled irritably.

"Sakura-chaaan why did you hit me," Naruto whined.

"You are really familiar, Sakura, Naruto." Ino said with a small grin, while walking towards them.

"Ino-pig! Don't joke, what's that familiar with a stupid kid like him!" Sakura snorted in annoyance.

" Well , you never get out of physical contact ..." Ino laughed mockingly, making Sakura growl annoyed and replying to his ridicule didn't want to lose.

"Your Majesty, please help for this time." Said Temari with a smile when he reached the gate along with his two brothers, he nodded respectfully to the Crown Prince in front of him.

"Hn."

One by one the five teams gathered at the front gate of the Palace, starting from Lee who came with the phrase 'Youth', then Kiba who came five minutes later along with Shikamaru behind him. Then Shino who came quietly as usual, Chouji with a snack in his hand, followed Tenten, and finally Sai with his flat smile.

They immediately left leaving the capital after everything was ready. The village they were heading to was on the edge of the royal border, the most vulnerable area that could easily be attacked by monsters, because of the dense forests surrounding it. The journey takes a long time, but not for days. They only needed less than a day to get to the village.

This was the first time Sasuke could get out of the Palace freely without any escort escort. This made him quite relieved and a little happy, even though he knew the reason Tsunade sent many teams was to protect him. But still, when else will he be able to walk casually and freely like this?

Traveling like this and forgetting for a moment that he was a Crown Prince was one of the reasons he wanted to become a royal knight. He really didn't like it, every time he went out of the palace, the guards would always follow him like a pet dog. Danzo did not even allow him to leave the capital, always locked him like he was a bird in a cage who could not do anything. This is the Crown Prince! They can't just lock it up. Even with five teams accompanying him, Danzo still sent one of the knights of Anbu Ne to watch over him.

"This kingdom has been destroyed, Sasuke ..."

"... and you can only be quiet without understanding anything ..."

The sentence still continued to ring in his head, like a sharp stab that hit his chest. If what Naruto said was true, that Danzo had ruined this kingdom, he felt that he was truly useless. He is the future king of this kingdom, and the duty of a king is to protect this kingdom. But he didn't even know what was happening in his kingdom. He began to feel the reason Danzo had never allowed him to leave the kingdom was because there were things that had to be hidden from him.

"Oi, dog breath , what are you doing ?!" Naruto shouted, startling him from daydream.

Sasuke blinked his eyes, and stared in confusion at the young man with the red triangle tattoo that had sniffed it.

Kiba looked suspiciously at Sasuke, and sniffed his body carefully again.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked with a sharp gaze, making the dog demon in front of him swallow hard and step back from him.

"Uh, n-no, II am just making sure ..." Kiba said fearfully, seeing a sharp gaze directed at him. One of Sasuke's eyebrows frowned.

"Uh ... I mean ... at that time ... a-your body's scent ... u-uh ..."

"Geezz, Dog Breath ! I don't know you're very perverted! Sniff the Crown Prince like that!" Naruto shouted loudly, his hands swiftly embracing the spiky-haired young man's shoulder, making him startled in surprise.

"W-What ?! II am not lecherous, damn it! II just made sure!" Kiba defended himself.

"Huuh, don't lie like that. Just admit you are a mesuum, dog breaaath " Naruto said with a mocking grin, his right hand embraced the slightly shorter boy tightly, while his left hand pinched Kiba's red tattooed cheeks with exasperation.

"Haah troublesome ... Naruto." Call Shikamaru reluctantly.

Naruto turned to the pineapple-haired young man who was walking behind him, one of his blond eyebrows raised up, but his hand still hadn't come off playing Kiba's cheek.

Shikamaru scratched his non-itchy fist, before yawning sleepily, but his eyes did not come off staring at Kiba who was being embraced. He sighed. "Kiba is mine. Don't touch it arbitrarily." Shikamaru claimed suddenly with possessiveness.

There was a moment of silence, before Naruto's blue-eyed eyes widened when he caught his friend's words. He turned to Kiba who now looked like a boiled crab, he sniffed a little the scent of the red triangle tattooed young man beside him, before his irises grew wider. Slowly, he took his embrace and moved back from Kiba. His face formed an unpleasant expression as well as disbelief. "Uh ... right, you smell like Shikamaru. Sorry Shika, I didn't realize it ..."

There was a short pause before- "EEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ?!" I will not believe to be heard from all the demons who were on the trip, successfully making Kiba's face redder.

"Impossible!"

"Since when?!"

"Have you done mating ?!"

"Where is the sign Shika ?!"

"Oh very charming, the power of love of young people who are very passionate! Bright youth must smile at you two!"

"Wow, I never thought, I thought you were straight Kiba."

"B-noisy! Shika you're a jerk! You said you wouldn't say it!" Kiba whined, his cheeks very red with embarrassment.

"Oh, you're pretty sweet, blushing like that, dog breath !"

"Noisy!"

"Naruto stopped it ... hah this is troublesome ..." Shikamaru muttered lazily.

Naruto just laughed at that, followed by laughter and a series of questions from the others on the two lovebirds. He turned sideways when he felt he was being stared at. His blue sliced eyes meet the oniks. Naruto raised one of his blond eyebrows without understanding before he smiled a little at the submissive raven youth. He scrambled Sasuke's mane anxiously, when he saw Sasuke look away to hide his red cheeks.

"Stop that, Dobe." Sasuke grumbled, shaking off the big hand that ruffled his hair, making Naruto grin a little at his behavior. He also brought his body to whisper.

"With you putting on this sweet expression? There's no way, 'Suke." he said in a hoarse voice. Sasuke's cheeks grew red, he turned and kicked Naruto's leg hard.

"Ow, ow, ow, why are you kicking me temeeee" whined Naruto.

"Noisy!" Sasuke grunted and walked away ahead of him, making Naruto frown irritably behind him.

Naruto was stunned when he turned, his blue eyes met the black eyes of the young man who called himself 'Sai'. Sai stared flatly at him, before her lips curled wide to form a smile but looked flat, telling her how fake the smile was. Naruto tried to be as normal as possible, forming his typical grin to reply to that smile. His hands waved awkwardly. He breathed a sigh of relief, when the black-haired young man finally turned his head and continued his journey.

'What was that just now?' he thought uncomfortable.

After walking for hours, they finally arrived at the destination village. The village is quite small as previously explained. Not yet ten minutes had they walked from the entrance to the village, they had met with the market crowd. For small-sized villages, the place is quite crowded with people, maybe because the village is on the border of the region.

Naruto warmed his hands up, and stretched his body which was a little stiff and tired. "Ahhh, finally it arrived. How about now, are we going to immediately look for the monster?" he said wondering.

"We have to meet with the village leader first, right?" Chouji replied.

"Ahaha look at this, there is a souvenir shop! Hey, can we stop by later ?!" screamed Ino happily, his eyes twinkling at the souvenir shops, accessories, clothes and so on, his head quickly counting the items he wanted to buy.

"We're not here to play, Ino-pig!" Sakura said, disagreeing.

" Forehead noise ! You're the same too!" Ino's sneering reply.

"Geez, you girl, it's just shopping." Kiba's sniff on the two girls.

"What are you saying?!" Ino and Sakura shouted together, glaring angrily at Kiba.

Kiba swallowed hard and moved to Shikamaru's side to avoid the two female demons who seemed to want to eat them.

"Oi teme?" Naruto called curiously, his blond eyebrows met in the middle of seeing Sasuke who was silent in surprise. The young raven did not make a sound since entering the village - not even since they left the capital, Sasuke was just silent and seemed to be thinking about something, Naruto even caught him daydreaming several times. Could it be because of yesterday's incident? Maybe letting Sasuke see one of the decay of the royal officials is wrong, he looks shocked enough when he sees it directly. Even though the raven youth is now ordinary, but it seems like yesterday's event really filled his mind.

Making Sasuke as a submissive let alone let the young man see him killing royal officials is not his plan at all. Naruto did not know whether to let Sasuke know his plan to kill Danzo would have a negative impact on his plan, or even make Sasuke side with him. He still doubts how he will put Sasuke in his plan later.

"Oi teme" Naruto called again, but the raven still hadn't turned to him. Sasuke looked staring at the view of the village in front of him. Then the people passed their eyes, the crowded scenery around them, the noisy and dirty environment which was very different from the very quiet and clean Palace environment. He seemed to be in a different world, a world that was very contrary to the Palace. Without the escort and fancy clothes that he always wore while at the Palace, there were absolutely no people who recognized him let alone bow down to him. He felt very ... weird.

But that is not what makes him very quiet, or daydreaming and stops walking several times. The scenery around him, the outer scenery he had never seen before had made him amazed at his disbelief.

"Oi Teme! Are you not going away-!" Naruto gasped in surprise as his body was suddenly pushed from behind. He looked back to see anything - anyone who had suddenly hit him earlier. A groan of pain was heard. Naruto raised his eyebrows when he saw a boy who looked to be around seven to nine years old, fell on his feet. The boy was wearing a shirt and shorts that were very worn, with some pieces of cloth torn. The shirt looks very dirty - it might even be inappropriate to wear. The child's face, hair or body also looks very dirty and dull, as if the boy had never cleaned his body. The boy looked up and stopped the movement of his hand rubbing his aching body. His eyeballs widened before he shifted backwards as if in fear.

"Mm-sorry, bro, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry!" he shouted frightened before he got up and ran away from Naruto or Sasuke.

"Tch, street children huh ..." Naruto muttered irritably, but not because he had been hit by the child, but because he "again" saw a child like that ...

"Oi, Teme, let's go, we can be left behind by others ..." Naruto's sentence vanished at the end. He was again stunned in surprise when he saw Sasuke looking staring. Sasuke's body turned to his back, his eyes following the boy who had run away. After the boy completely vanished from his sight, then Sasuke turned his head, but instead he turned to the blond young man beside him, instead he looked at another scene, to the side of the road or in the corners of the road, to every inch of the small village environment looking very shabby and destitute around him, a glimmer of unreadable emotion raged in his oniks eyes when he saw a very old man lying helpless by the side of the road ...

... when he saw so many small children dressed in shabby, very thin and dirty bodies wandering everywhere ...

... when he found a thin woman lying naked in a small alleyway ...

... when he found so many women or shabby men begging at him ...

... even when he saw someone who was lifeless just left on the side of the road ...

"Is it always like this?" Sasuke whispered weakly to anyone.

Naruto's eyes widened slightly before he turned away and sighed. "Sasuke, when was the last time you left the capital?" he asked softly.

Sasuke fell silent. Now the onix eye stares at the cerulean. A flash of panic, disbelief, fear, anger, confusion, sadness, shame, mixed from behind the dark black eyes. He opened his lips but closed it tightly again, his palms tightly clenched. Sasuke looked down, feeling himself so despicable and useless. "... no ... ever ..." he muttered very softly, but enough for Naruto to hear it.

'Never'

Only two words but means very much, enough to make Naruto widen in disbelief. The question that should be very simple and only needs to be answered with a simple answer, ends with an answer that really makes Naruto so shocked.

"Never?" Naruto repeated it.

Sasuke still looked down and did not answer.

"You never left the capital? Even from birth?" Naruto said in disbelief. Isn't the young man in front of him supposed to be a Crown Prince?Isn't he supposed to be a demon who will later become the King of this Kingdom, someone who should know the ins and outs of the kingdom he will lead later. But the young man in front of him had just said he had never left the capital, he had never known the state of his kingdom, he had never known how bad the conditions outside the palace were, how messy and neglected the small villages and suburbs they were now visiting, he never saw how rotten the royal government is today. Only being deceived by the capital's engineering which was filled with nobles and government people, was fooled by the condition of a prosperous capital and very opposite to the situation outside.

Naruto for the first time since he met Sasuke a few weeks ago, feeling that a young man who should be arrogant and cold, the young man who always walked confidently now looks like an innocent child who doesn't understand anything ...

Naruto for the first time felt very sorry for the raven youth before him ...

Naruto turned his face away, his palms tightly clenched. He gritted his teeth before saying. "Danzo forbid you?"

Sasuke looked up, a flash of emotion raging in his dark eyes, his lips tightly closed. But Naruto had enough to catch the answer to his question. The answer made him even more angry at a demon named Danzo.

"BASIC FUCKING FUCKING! YOU'RE THOUGHT YOU WERE DOING HAH ?!" a scream of anger shocked him or Sasuke. They turned to the sound source to see what had happened.

A middle-aged-looking man stood in the middle of the road with one hand holding on his waist, his eyes glaring with great anger at a small boy who fell in fear before his feet. Judging from the way the man was dressed or the amount of jewelry attached to his body, it was clear that the man was a nobleman, and the little boy below him was just another street child.

The man snorted in annoyance and growled angrily. "You rubbish! It's because of you my clothes are dirty! Do you know how much this shirt costs ?! Even selling your life won't be enough just to wear it!"

"I beg your pardon, sir, bro, I didn't accidentally, please forgive me, please help me ..." the little boy stammered very frightened, his eyes wide open , while his body is trembling. His eyeballs were wet with tears, he didn't know what would happen to his fate now, he shouldn't be so careless, he should be more careful and not hit a noble. If he is lucky, he will only be tortured or beaten to death, but if not, he might not be safe ...

"Don't joke about jerk! You think I'll just leave you alone, you rubbish!" the man growled, kicking the little boy in front of him very hard. The boy moaned in pain, his cheeks were now wet with tears, bruises began to appear when the man started kicking again, and again ...

The man snorted angrily, he took a log that he saw lined up in a shop, before turning towards the boy. Without mercy he swung the log hard, pounding the little boy lying helplessly in front of him.

"Enough!" a pale hand suddenly grasped his hand, stopping his movement pounding on the boy.

The old man turned, staring in confusion at anyone who suddenly stopped him. His eyeballs widened in fear, when he saw a pair of oniks glaring at him.

"Wh-Who are you, b-shit ?!" he said furiously, even though his sentence trembled, making him swallow hard when staring at the sharpness of the dark black eyes before him.

"Leave the boy now." Sasuke hissed angrily, both of his oniks glared sharply.

"W-What ?! J-Don't joke, damn it! That kid has already dirtyed my clothes, can't-" The old man swallowed his sentence as the two oniks grew sharper. He grimaced in pain when his hand was squeezed so hard.

"Let me let go of the bastard! Take off my hand! Don't you know I'm a noble ?!" The man struggled, trying to pull his hand from the strong grip. He growled angrily. He was a nobleman, someone with a high degree, a little boy with a sharp gaze or even a strong grip could not challenge him like this. He must not let himself be underestimated and insulted like this. He raised his other hand, slammed it towards the young man's face in front of him, but again his hand was stopped, but not the pale hand that gripped him this time, but the larger tan-colored hands squeezing his arms.

"Ah, ah, ah, please don't play rough like this, sir, I think a nobleman is very graceful and honorable?" Naruto said with a big smile, his eyes forming a curved line upward as if smiling.

"Who are you jerk ?!" The old man growled irritably.

"Please don't be angry first, sir. We don't mean to disturb you. I am truly sorry for our impudence. This is the first time my friend has gone out of town, he doesn't know the rules here, this is even the first time he saw a noble. really sorry. " Said Naruto again, still with a smile on his face, he took off his hand, and Sasuke's hand from the man's hand.

"Dobe, what are you-" Sasuke's hiss was cut off when his body was suddenly pulled, an arm wrapped around his waist from behind, while his head was suddenly forced to bow.

"Ehehehe we are really sorry. To be honest, you look so great, sir, I can feel the aura of nobility not - even the kingdom of your body!" Said Naruto again blindly, he lowered his body and Sasuke's body, to show respect.

"Dobe, what is it-"

"Sshh, shut up" whispered Naruto softly from behind Sasuke. If Sasuke was not angry right now, his face must have been red when he felt a warm gust touch his cheek when the blond youth whispered.

The old man paused for a moment, before grinning satisfied hearing the compliment. He also tidied his clothes and said. "Huh, I'll forgive this time. Don't repeat it, you understand?" he said, snorting pretentiously.

"Thank you, sir, you are very kind." Naruto said with a wide grin, nodding respectfully as the man walked past him. He sighed, when he saw the man was really gone.

"What are you doing, idiot ?!" Sasuke growled angrily, pushing the body that hugged him from behind, and glared.

"Stop your scream, you attract people's attention." Naruto replied sighing again

"Idiot! You saw what the bastard did! How can you just let it go! Especially after your speech about this kingdom that has been destroyed!"Sasuke's hiss didn't agree.

"Leave it, I don't want to find a problem." Naruto said lazily, his hands waving up and down as if voicing his indifference.

"What about that kid ?! You want to say-"

"Ah, that boy. Hey you!" cut Naruto quickly, walked towards the boy who grimaced in pain on the ground.

The little boy gasped with fear, enduring the pain when he tried to move his body to stand up and run away.

"Oi, oi, oi, wait for the boy. Come with me." Naruto said quickly, gripping the boy's shabby shirt and dragging him to walk following him.

"Wait, Dobe! What are you doing ?!" Sasuke shouted in confusion, his legs forced to move to follow the blond youth in front of him.

They stopped in a small road alley. The boy had moaned in pain as his body fell to the ground. He immediately moved back in fear of the two demons older than him.

"How old are you, boy?" Naruto asked, he put his hands in his jacket pocket before he sat on his heels a few inches from the frightened boy.Naruto tilted his head slightly, his eyes glancing up and down the appearance of the shabby boy in front of him. Just like a street child that he often sees, dirty, worn, dull and thin, that's how the brown-haired boy looks in front of him.

The boy gasped when he saw Naruto raise his hand, his eyes glancing at his anxiety.

"I won't hurt you." Said Naruto, continuing the movement of his hand to touch the wounds and bruises on the child's small body.

The boy nodded slowly, his eyes still seeing with great anxiety that touched him. He gasped slightly when he felt a strange sensation touching his wound. His eyeballs widened in surprise to see the wounds and bruises on his body began to heal when the green chakra that came from Naruto's hand touched his body.

Naruto smiled thinly when the boy's entire wound was fully healed. He stood up again, his head turned towards Sasuke who looked at him in confusion before turning to look at the boy. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out an object - or rather a wallet pocket. "Oh, it turns out a lot too." He murmured with a small chuckle when he saw the contents of the wallet.

"Th-that's ..." Sasuke said, staring in disbelief at the luxuriously designed object held by Naruto.

"Shocked? I stole it when the bastard bumped into our bodies." Naruto grinned slyly, his hands quickly counting the money in it.

Sasuke or the little boy just stared at him with disbelief and surprise. They did not look at all, let alone realize that the blonde had stolen the wallet from the nobleman earlier. They only passed in a few seconds and in conditions like that, how did Naruto take it?

"W-What are you going to do with it? Don't say you want to use it-" Sasuke's sentence was cut off when he saw Naruto suddenly throwing the wallet at the boy. Sasuke stared in surprise at the blond young man, Naruto didn't even take a dime from the wallet, he just checked it and then threw the wallet at the boy.

"Use it carefully, understand?" Naruto said briefly. He ruffled the boy's brown hair, and smiled a little, before he turned and walked away from the hallway. Neither Sasuke nor the boy could only stare in disbelief at him.

"Oi, Teme. Why are you silent? The others will soon be worried if we don't return." Said Naruto with a slightly frowned face.

Sasuke blinked from his reverie, before moving his body to chase the blond young man in front of him. His lips form a small smile.

"Y-the Honorable Crown Prince, I didn't expect you would be willing to come to a slum like our village." Said a middle-aged man nervously, his head bowed respectfully, not daring to look directly at the royal demon that suddenly came and almost made him suffer a heart attack.

"Hn." Sasuke only murmured small, walking with a flat face that he used to use and sat on one of the chairs in the room, behind him Shikamaru, Neji, Sakura, Ino, Temari, Chouji, Tenten, Lee, Kankurou trailing.

"Y-Your Majesty, we are really glad you visited here. II-Is there something we can do for His Majesty." The man who was the village leader said nervously again.

"Stop acting like that. I'm just here to carry out a mission. Can you explain to us the problem?" Sasuke said a little annoyed.

"M-mi-mission?" The old man repeated in confusion.

"This village sends requests for help to the royal knight to eradicate monsters, remember?" Sasuke explained with a sigh.

The man's eyeballs widened in surprise. The Royal Crown Prince had just come to his village and said he would carry out a mission and help this village, it was the Crown Prince who came directly here to help his village. He blinked a few times as if he didn't believe what he had just heard. What did he do to get an honor like this?

Naruto sighed for so many times. He felt very bored, not just just 'bored', but very and very bored. He also walked in a direction, towards a large courtyard behind the big house he was visiting right now. Naruto and the other demons - they finally arrived at the village leader's house. Instead of talking about insignificant things - well, it's not insignificant, but boring, Naruto prefers to wait outside until they finish talking. It's been almost an hour since they entered, but there are also no signs that their teammates will come out of the room.

Naruto lay down in the grass when he finally reached the center of the courtyard, in a quiet and quite area. On top of it was a leafy tree protecting it from the blazing sun. He was about to close his eyes and fall asleep when a sound stopped him.

"Naruto-kun. What are you doing here?" the voice said.

Naruto opened one eye to glance at the sound. Sai stood right beside him, staring at him closely and curiously, making Naruto a little uncomfortable.

"Of course, sleep! Waiting is really boring," Naruto replied with a whining tone, forced to be as stupid as ever.

"Hm, aren't you talking to this village leader?" Sai asked again, he crouched down, moved forward to approach, making Naruto shift back away from him.

Naruto was forced to lift his lying body to sit cross-legged when Sai was still moving toward him. Shit. What's with this guy? Naruto really did not know, this young man named Sai suddenly took part in their mission, and since traveling, he kept getting a strange view of the young man. Seeing Sai's face that was very flat and expressionless, made him unable to guess what the black-haired young man wanted.Moreover, he is an Anbu Ne. Interest should not be the reason for that strange attitude, right?

"Naruto-kun?" Sai called as she still hadn't received an answer from the blond young man in front of her.

"Huh, there's no ramen, why should I go there." Naruto answered by putting on a whimper, his hands folded in front of his chest, trying to cover up his discomfort.

A flat smile returned to decorate Sai's pale face, and his gaze still had not escaped Naruto, making the blond youth even more uncomfortable. Not that Naruto was scared or how, he just didn't want to 'get out of control', there was a 'stupid mask' that he had to defend here, especially the young man he was facing was an Anbu Ne.

"Naruto-kun, are you interested in a man?" Sai asked suddenly, successfully making Naruto almost choke on his own saliva.

Naruto cleared his throat to clean his throat before answering "Interested? Do you mean to be interested in guys? Ewww, the girl's body is more attractive and sexy! Why should I choose a boy's flat chest?" he said with a disgusted expression.

"But you look close to Sasuke Ouji-sama" replied Sai again

Naruto widened his eyes in surprise, before putting on a disgusted expression. "Ehhh, what do you mean by close ?! The teme is very annoying! Do you see the way you always act cool? He always taunts me!" he protested.

"You call it Teme"

"That's because he called me Dobe!"

"But he's a crown prince here, you could be punished for insulting him."

"Ehhh ?! Are you scaring me here, Sai!" Naruto protested again.

"No, I just want to know if you are interested in men." Sai replied again with a smile, moving closer to Naruto, one of his hands suddenly crawling into Naruto's thigh.

Naruto widened in surprise, and immediately shifted backwards, shaking off the hand that touched his leg. "W-wait a minute! W-what are you doing here! I told you I'm only interested in girls!" Naruto protested, not liking, putting on a disgusted expression.

"You don't like me?" Sai replied, still not giving up.

"Ewww, I told you I'm straight! Why don't you understand too ?!" Naruto's protests almost shouted.

"But Naruto-kun, I-"

"Uzumaki." A cold voice suddenly cut Sai's sentence.

Great. One more problem comes.

Don't they know that someone who is alone means to be alone ?! Shit. Naruto did not come in to meet the village leader because he wanted to find peace! Not looking for a problem like this! Naruto cursed irritably at heart.

"Sabaku Gaara." called Sai to the red-haired young man who approached them.

Gaara only glanced coldly at Sai, before turning to Naruto again. "What are you doing here?"

"Gaara! You have to help me! Sai is very strange!" Naruto whined at him.

Gaara walked over to Naruto, his eyes glancing sharply at the black-haired young man who was still sitting crouching in front of Naruto."What are you doing?" he asked coldly.

"I just want to get to know Naruto-kun more closely." Said Sai, replying with a smile.

Gaara glared sharply when he heard the word 'Naruto-kun' from Sai's mouth. He folded his hands in front of his chest, and stood close to Naruto. "Naruto is mine, I won't let you try anything." His claim suddenly.

Uh, wait, wait a minute! Did Naruto just hear something he thought he had just heard?

"Naruto-kun doesn't belong to anyone. I don't see or smell the marks from his body." Sai replied with a cold grin.

"He is mine, he will soon be mine. Isn't that right, Naruto?" Gaara replied, turning to the blond young man beside him and staring at him closely.

Hey, hey, are they serious? That's not possible right! No, Naruto must have heard or something wrong. Maybe he had to scrape his ear first, leaving it for more than a month would make the dirt pile up. Right, because of that he must be wrong with-

"Naruto-kun will be mine. You don't deserve to be with him." Sai said, successfully fending off Naruto's thoughts.

"Hn. You are inappropriate. He will choose me who is stronger." Gaara replied with a cold smile.

Okay, okay, maybe they are serious. But not necessarily if this is a reality right? Right, maybe he had actually fallen asleep in the grass, and dreamed of a strange thing-

"Naruto?" called Gaara, pulling the blond young man's orange jacket to attract his attention.

"Naruto-kun, who will you choose?" this time Sai also approached.

Naruto gasped when something hard hit his back. He turned and found a large tree trunk behind him. Hey, since when did he stand up and walk backwards like this?

Naruto glanced at Sai, then turned to Gaara. His shapire sliced eyes widened when he saw a little red tinge coloring Gaara's cheeks. Okay, this is over, can someone stop the dream now?

Isn't Gaara supposed to be someone who is cold and always does not care about the world around him? It's not that aggressive young men who suddenly claim it like this! What else is blushing like that? Oh, great. Just dealing with Sai is troublesome, now Gaara is after him.

"Dobe." A familiar voice suddenly sounded very cold, startling the three demons that stood close together under the tree.

Naruto swallowed hard when he saw a pair of black beads staring very sharply and coldly at him.

Sasuke glared sharply when he saw Sai and Gaara standing very close to his dominant. Without further ado, he walked quickly and pulled Naruto away from them, even the fingers of his hand tied to Naruto's finger with possessiveness. He glared coldly at Sai and Gaara, before pulling Naruto away from there.

Naruto who was too shocked, could only blink.

"Oi, teme." Naruto called to the raven youth who was still pulling him, but the young man did not answer at all.

"Oi, thanks." Call him again, which only works nil.

Sasuke did not answer at all, he just walked quickly and dragged Naruto with him. He didn't even look or glance at him. They enter a room.Naruto gasped as his body suddenly pushed towards the wall. He swallowed hard when the oniks eyes stared at him again very sharply and coldly.

"What did you do just now?" the sound coming out of Sasuke's lips suddenly sounded like he wanted to grab him.

Is this just Naruto, or is Sasuke really angry now?

"Uh, Sasuke, are you angry?" Naruto finally asked a little hesitation.

"No. Answer my question, Dobe." Sasuke replied coldly.

Okay, the raven youth is indeed angry.

"Look, I don't know what makes you angry now, but the three of us just talked before, it's nothing." Obviously Naruto tried to answer Sasuke's question before.

"With those two damn people standing as close as that ?! What the hell-" Sasuke immediately stopped his words when he realized the mistake he had just made. He turned his head and folded his hands in front of his chest.

Naruto winked, before his lips formed a small grin as he caught what was happening. Oh, who would know that Sasuke would be able to act as sweet as this?

"You're jealous." The statement is like a button that turns off Sasuke's defense which is always cool and hard, making the red color spread from the pale neck all over his face.

"II am not jealous!" Sasuke tried to argue with a glaring look, even though the red color on his face immediately turned off the effects of his eyes.

Naruto's grin widened, he walked towards his submissive. "Aww, do you know that you are very sweet, 'Suke? Especially with jealousy like this ~" Naruto said teasingly

"I told you I wasn't jealous, damn it ! And I'm not sweet!" Sasuke said again, seeing the dominant approaching made his face reddener. "D-Don't come near, dobe!"

"Why 'Suke? You don't want me to approach you? Aren't you angry when you see me close to others?" teased Naruto again.

"B-not so, damn it!" Sasuke shouted irritably, his face getting redder, oh if only he could still. "Just don't come here, or ... or ... or I'll kick you!"the threat was desperate.

Naruto raised one eyebrow, and chuckled a little. "Kicking me won't stop me, you know my body regenerates really fast." he replied, stepping forward.

"II will use my sword then!" said Sasuke again, his legs running backward in panic.

Naruto just raised his other eyebrows and walked closer, making Sasuke panic.

"I said don't come near, Dobe!" Sasuke protested frantically, his body gasped as the wall of the room finally hit his back. "T-wait! Please don't move, or ... or you won't be able to sleep with me for a week!"

Naruto's movement finally stopped in that sentence, he paused before he chuckled amused. "So you intend to sleep with me for a week, Sasuke?" defeated Naruto back, successfully making the raven youth in front of him blush red.

"N-no! No, I mean - argh! Stop your laugh dobe!" Sasuke groaned irritably, his face successfully became a tomato now, red and even there was smoke coming out of his head, making Naruto's laugh even louder.

Sasuke also chose to be quiet and frown with annoyance, remembering that his mouth was not at all willing to work together to help him. He folded his hands and pouted - okay, not sulking, an uchiha didn't sulk, he just bent his face in annoyance.

Seeing that, Naruto began to stop laughing, but his efforts became very difficult when he saw the raven being very adorable. "S-sorry ... ha ... sorry sorry ... ha ... ha ... how come you have to be as sweet as that Sasuke?" Naruto said while chuckling.

Sasuke who was sulking - ahem, sorry to bend his face - suddenly realized something. A wry frown began to disappear from his face, his black bead widened for a moment staring at Naruto who was still a little chuckled. He was stunned by the sight, there was something he realized at that time, Naruto, he "You laugh ..." he said softly.

Naruto's laughter stopped immediately when he heard that. He immediately returned the expression on his face to the beginning, covering the eyes of his sapphire which widened for an instant when he realized the intent of the Uchiha's words. "What do you mean? I always laugh, Teme." Said Naruto with his typical grin.

"No, you're not laughing, you're just pretending to laugh. Even though you're always being stupid and always grinning everywhere. But your eyes are always cold in front of anyone, like you're covering up something. But just now, highlight your eyes, they sparkle happily. " Sasuke's light denied it, even he still couldn't believe the thing he was looking at.

This time Naruto did not have time to hide his shapire ball which widened when he heard that, he chose to turn his head away. "Hn. It's just your feeling."

"No, you did laugh dobe." Sasuke said more confidently 'and you should do it more often, because your face looks very charming when you do it ...'

"Hn. Whatever you say, we have to go." Naruto said, changing the subject, completely disliking the direction of their conversation.

"W-wait, we're going to sleep here for tonight" Sasuke said quickly stopping Naruto's movements. His cheeks turned red again when he realized the sentence that could mean two opposite things. "I-I mean, about the mission, we will stay in this village for one night." He said quickly.

"Hm, what have you been talking about before?" Naruto asked, a little relieved the topic of their conversation had changed.

"The monsters always attack at night, so we will guard the night alternately. If the monsters don't come today, we will go into the forest to search for and eradicate them directly at tomorrow morning." Sasuke explained, remembering things that had been discussed with the village leader.

Dark colors eventually fall over the sky, replacing the beautiful bright blue color during the day. The fifteen demons - or sixteen if you count Sai in the team carrying out the mission - they immediately scattered throughout the village to guard and watch over the village from the monsters that always come at night.

The night wind blew fast, hoisting golden blonde hair, bangs that had stretched to the eyes flew following the gusts of wind in a mess, almost covering the iron plate with a symbol of leaves engraved in the middle. The long blackish blue cloth that ties the iron plate to the head fluttered up and down, following the wearer's movements headband jumping past the roof of the house.

Naruto sighed softly, his shapire eyes glanced right and left, all over, making sure there wasn't anything as small as being overstepped. He stopped on one of the roofs of the house which was quite high. It was the fourth time he circled around the village, but there was still no sign that the monsters would come attacking. Every teammate is on guard in their respective positions. If one of them sees the monster, they will immediately send a code, and if the monster really wants to attack, the team mate should have sent the code. Because the black sky will soon change with bright blue. Dawn will soon follow them, he does not know exactly what time it is, but he does not need hours to tell him if they have spent hours patrolling the village.

A movement attracted his attention. Naruto glanced sideways, several tens of meters away, he caught a figure jumping from roof to roof, telling him that the figure was one of his colleagues. Naruto sharpened his shapire slice to see who the figure was when he stopped jumping.The dark black hair with the back side against gravity was very familiar in his eyes. Pale white skin glinted from behind the moonlight, stunned Naruto when he saw Sasuke's beautiful figure.

From the beginning Naruto had realized that the submissive had a beautiful and very beautiful appearance, but even though he saw it, he was still fascinated by him.

Naruto turned his head away as he recalled the incident this afternoon. Her lips closed tightly.

"You laugh ..."

The sentence kept ringing in his fist, making him realize how stupid he was. Why does he have to make a mistake like that? He should be more careful. He should remember what his purpose was to come here, remembering what he was doing in this kingdom. He must not be lulled by only momentary pleasures, pleasures that he will never get later. Isn't the thing he had gone through in the past enough for him, even made him so fed up. Naruto had promised himself, he would not repeat it again, he would not let himself feel that again.

"Tch, I've been too careless ..." Naruto chuckled in annoyance, his hands clenched tightly, his shapire eyes glaring at whoever. He sighed before jumping to start walking around again.

Naruto jumped down from the roof and decided to walk casually on the ground. The shapire bead automatically moves around every inch of the view he sees. A movement caught by his eyes. He stepped towards something - whatever he had caught his attention. He stopped in front of a small lane, before entering it.

Naruto sighed when he found what had caught his attention earlier. He shouldn't have come here - into the hallway. The roadway is one of the places used by beggars or street children to sleep. The shapire's eyes can catch the sight of some who are sleeping in the overhang of the ground, just by laying on or covered in newsprint or thin cloth even some who don't use one of them.

How sad the sight is. This country is vast and rich, but there are still abandoned people like them. Isn't this world too cruel? Only those in power will be more modest, while those who are destitute will only suffer more. Very unfair thing. If only he could take his right to rule his kingdom now, they would not suffer like this.

Naruto turned to leave the hallway. His footsteps stopped when his eyes caught a small, very thin child, sleeping alone and far apart from the others. Wounds and bruises filled the small body that looked curled cold. The child sleeps alone, without newspaper or cloth covering him from the cold wind, in a place far enough away from the other hordes, as if the boy was ostracized to a different place.

Naruto looked staring at the boy. Suddenly the boy's tangled black hair turned into a very dirty blonde color, the pale skin full of wounds turned into tan skin which was very dull, the plain cheek cheeks instantly changed, revealing three scratches like a familiar cat's mustache for him. Then the eye, the closed eyelid opened, showing the shapire staring at him blankly.

Naruto's breath caught, his shapire eyes could not escape the other shapire. The boy continued to stare at him silently, with a very sad, blank look as if a life had been taken away from the shapire's eyes.

The surroundings suddenly blurred, dark and small passageways turned into endless dark streets. Himself suddenly became very small in the darkness. Shouts suddenly appeared to meet his hearing.

"Chase the little devil!"

The dark road suddenly seemed to move. His breath became panting when he found his body running without direction. As if running after the endless street.

"Don't let him run away!"

"Quickly kill the boy!"

Not. He ran not because he was chasing something, but he was being pursued by something. His feet tripped, making his body fall hard. His eyes widened, his body struggling to run away. He must run away quickly, he must leave the people immediately.

"Catch him!"

Not. He can't be caught. He can't stop running.

"Quickly kill him!"

Not. Stop it Please stop it. Why do they keep chasing him. Why do they want to kill him.

"Don't let the traitor boy run away!"

Stop it

"The king wants him dead!"

Please stop it.

"Quickly kill the demon boy!"

Not. Stop it Please stop it.

"KILL HIM!"

STOP!

"DOBE!"

Naruto gasped in surprise at the familiar shout. His shapire eyes widened, his breath suddenly panting, cold sweat flowing from his temples.The shapire's eyes glanced sideways, finding a familiar figure who looked at him worriedly.

Sasuke.

Around him in an instant changed, the frightening dark road turned into a small alleyway before. Naruto blinked his eyes repeatedly, then glanced around. The little boy before him changed, no longer a blonde boy with three cuts on his cheek, but only a thin black-haired boy who was still fast asleep.

"Dobe? Are you okay ?!" the familiar voice was heard again.

Naruto swallowed his saliva heavily, before taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly. He turned back to the young raven standing beside him.

Sasuke looked at him very worriedly. He was very worried when he intended to catch up with Naruto, instead finding the blond youth fixated in the middle of the hallway. Sasuke thought that the young man who became dominant was just thinking about something. But at whatever time he tried to call him, the young man did not answer at all. Sasuke became panicked when he saw the shapire's eyes staring blankly in front of him, flashes of panic and fear filled the blue bead, while his tall body suddenly trembled.

Sasuke did not know what was going on in the blonde young man's mind, but whatever it was must be a very frightening thing if he made his dominant, relaxed and confident person look so scared. Whatever really made Sasuke very worried.

"Oi dobe?" he called again when he still hadn't received an answer.

Naruto sighed and returned his expression to relax again. He put his hand in his jacket pocket before turning to leave.

"H-hey wait, idiot! Answer my question!" Sasuke protested when he was suddenly left behind. The Dobe didn't even look into his eyes! After acting weird and worried him like that. Most don't answer the question first. You suck.

"Hey Dobe!" call again harder.

But again Naruto did not answer, only -Hn- short came out of Naruto's mouth.

Tomorrow morning finally arrived. After they got ready and prepared provisions, they left for the forest. Given their plan to wait for the monsters to attack ended in failure, they decided to carry out the second plan.

Tenten clicked irritably, staring at a sheet of paper he was holding. He twirled the sheet, trying to find the right position to read the picture printed on the sheet of paper. Even though he flipped through the paper, he still couldn't read the contents!

"Arrgghhh! Why is this map so hard to understand!" Tenten shouted irritably.

"Hey, don't say we're lost?" Kiba complained.

"W-we've been circling in this forest, Tt-tenten-san, h-can't you check it one more time?" Hinata asked haltingly.

"Hey, what if we just split up? Wouldn't it be faster to find those monsters?" Naruto said, joining in.

"No, I think it's going to be too risky. This forest is too broad and dense. We don't know if we can meet again later. Right now we're lost." Neji also replied.

"Argggh, but I'm bosaaannnn. Daritadi we're just circling!" Naruto said with a whining tone.

"Baka's noise! Why don't you help us find a way, idiot!" Sakura said, who was also starting to get annoyed at their trip which was just spinning.

Krak! - a crack appeared on the ground they were stepping on. But nobody realized it.

"Ehhh, but this forest is very wide, Sakura-chan! How do I look for a way ?!" Naruto complained.

Krak! -Krak! -

"BAKA! Because of that we have to find out right ?!" reply Sakura growled

Krak! -Krak! -Krak! -

"Hey did you hear anything?" Kiba wondered a little confused, it seemed he heard a sound like a crack or something.

Krak! -Krak! -Krak! -Krak! -

"Huh? What do you hear, dog breath ? Nothing." Naruto stopped his steps and glanced around to find out what the tattooed youth meant.

"See? Maybe it's just your feeling, Kiba, there's nothing like that - KRAK! - E-eh ...?" A very loud crack made him look down. The shapire's eyes widened wide as the ground on which it stood began to collapse before-

Naruto swallowed hard, staring at the others in horror and "GYAAAA!"

-The ground collapsed down along with his body very quickly, making the others jerk in shock.

"NARUT - GYARRRGH!" Kiba also fell down-

"Kyaaa!"

"Arghh!"

"HUH ?!"

"WHOAH!"

- followed by another shout when they all fell down.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow ..." A groan of pain was heard. A tan's hand stroked his blond head. Naruto began to open his tan petals, revealing shapire beads which were still not focused. He blinked several times to adjust his gaze, before glancing around. Forest.

Strange, didn't he fall into the ground earlier?

Naruto removed a small piece of earth lying on top of him. He coughed as dust scattered and entered his nose. His face was frightened not like, he immediately stood up and removed dust from his body. The pain immediately spread throughout the body before they began to disappear when his body began to do its job regenerating.

Naruto glanced at the surrounding landscape. It was still forest like what he had seen before, and only he was standing alone there. He did not find a single teammate who should have fallen before.

Naruto looked back, finding a fairly high cliff wall. A large hole was on the wall, right behind him. Did he just come out of there? The land collapsed must have made him fall from the cliff, and the others must have experienced the same thing. If his guess is correct, he will find another if he traces the cliff wall.

Great. Not only was he lost, he was now separated and had to look for others.

Naruto sighed and immediately walked down the cliff without wasting time.

"Cough - cough - cough!" Sasuke coughed as dust spread around his body. He stood up and cleaned his body from the ground and rocks.His body felt a little sore from falling very hard. He looked around, finding the earth walls covering his vision. The place where it stood looked like a very small cave, Sasuke looked back and found a large hole originating from above. He must have fallen from there.

Sasuke walked around to find a way out, a light pulled him to run there. He breathed a sigh of relief when he finally came out of the narrow cave. The landscape of the forest welcomed him.

"Sasuke-sama. I'm glad you are fine." A voice startled him. Sasuke turned to the side, finding Sai walking towards where he was.

"Are you okay?" Shino asked the long black haired girl who still fell on the ground. He walked over to him and helped him to stand up.

"Thank you S-shino-kun." Said Hinata slightly stumbling, she screamed in pain when the pain spread from her legs.

"Your leg hurt." Said Shino immediately checking the girl's feet.

"It's okay, bro, I'm fine, thank you ..." Hinata blushed, so not used to being treated like that by someone.

"Can you still walk?" Shino asked again.

"Hey! Thank God I found you!" a voice startled the two of them.

"K-kankurou-san ..." called Hinata stumbling.

Kankura breathed a sigh of relief and immediately approached them.

"Did you find a way out of here?" He asked when he arrived in front of his two teammates. His eyes glanced around him, only the walls made of soil surrounded them. He really panicked when he found himself lying alone in the cave. He was already circling, but still had not found a way out. He felt very relieved when he found someone else in the cave.

"Shika! Shika, Hey Shika!" Kiba shouted, his hands shaking his lover's body. Dominant it has received the impact of the pounding when it fell earlier. Shikamaru had protected him so he wouldn't get hurt when he fell down. He really panicked when he found himself in the arms of the pineapple-haired young man's body. But his lover was even unconscious.

"Shikamaru! Wake up jerk, don't pretend to sleep!" Kiba shouted in panic, his eyes began to tear with tears.

"SHIKA!" he shouted louder, shaking his dominant body very hard.

"O ... oarghh ..." The pineapple-haired young man finally let out a hoarse voice. He moaned in pain and opened his eyes unfocused.

"K-kiba ... don't grip me ..." he moaned in pain with a voice that was still hoarse, his body ached everywhere, plus the shock of his lover who was panicking, his body seemed almost numb.

"Fuck!" Kiba shouted irritably, but tears had trickled from his eyes. The triangular tattooed young man immediately hugged his lover tightly, spilling all his fears in his dominant embrace.

"K-kiba ... I told you not to grip me ..." Shikamaru moaned in pain, but didn't intend to let go of his lover's embrace. He wrapped his arms around to reply to the hug, gently caressing his lover who was still trembling in fear.

"Are you hurt?" he asked a little worried. Kiba didn't answer, just shook his head quickly, his face still hiding in Shikamaru's chest, holding back his sobs and fear.

Shikamaru sighed with relief, and kissed his lover's forehead gently. He was really worried if his lover was even injured. He felt grateful, his body had caught Kiba when he fell earlier.

Shikamaru glanced around. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion when he found a dense forest that welcomed his view. His eyes glanced up, saw the cliff wall towering, then down when he saw a large hole. Shikamaru sighed when he realized the conditions they were facing now.This will be very troublesome.

"Gaara! Don't walk too fast!" Temari pursues his younger brother who goes ahead. He almost tripped over the roots of the tree when the sister suddenly stopped walking in surprise.

"W-What's wrong ?!" Temari asked, confused.

The brow without brow wrinkled, looking at the large trees surrounding it. Even if they walk, they still don't find anyone. "We are lost." He said briefly.

"H-huh?" Temari glanced around in confusion. And sure enough, he found a tree that he seemed to see a few minutes ago. Not. It seems like every tree around them looks the same. Shit! They really got lost.

"What should we do ?! We must find Kankurou!" Temari chuckled in annoyance.

"Lee!" Tenten shouted happily when he saw his friend was fine. The black-haired youth looked like a big grin when he saw his two teammates walking towards him. He immediately waved with enthusiasm and ran towards them.

"Neji-san! Tenten-san! I'm glad you're all right! The power of Youth must have saved us all! This means a bright future still smiles seeing us!"recycle it as usual.

Neji sighed and only nodded in response. His eyes glanced around him. There are only trees everywhere. He stopped his steps as his sense of smell smelled something in the air. "Hey, do you smell anything?" he asked his two friends. He walked along with the familiar smell. I don't know how long he hasn't kissed him. The smell of something that makes him calm and comfortable.

"What?" Tenten asked confusedly, his nose sniffed in the air, but found nothing.

"Water, there's water near here, very much." Said Neji with a relieved smile, before he ran leaving his friend.

"H-hey wait, Neji!"

Naruto chuckled irritably, when he still hadn't found anything. He didn't know how long he had been walking, but the trees around him began to irritate him. He should be inside the Palace now, thinking of a plan to attack Danzo, instead of getting lost in the middle of the forest while carrying out a mission! Shit.

He walked through the other bushes, his shapire eyes glanced here and there to look for something - anything that might attract his attention. He began to feel strange in the forest. He had been circling around and around. But found nothing, not even one monster in it. Isn't the forest supposed to be a dangerous place? Why aren't there any monsters there. Not even a trace or signs of a monster living in the forest.

His feelings began to become uncomfortable. There are only two things that can be used as an answer to his anger. There are only two reasons why a region is deserted, without any signs of a monster's life like this, especially if that place should be a dangerous place. The first thing was because the place was indeed disliked by monsters and could not be lived in, so there wasn't a single monster in that place.Secondly, it was because the place had one strong monster as a ruler, so the small monsters didn't dare to live there. But that isn't possible right?

Right, hopefully not the second reason. He thought shuddering.

Naruto shook his head and walked faster. He stopped when something was caught by his sense of hearing. He immediately turned towards the sound source.

"Hey, Puppy , wake up, we have to go find another one right away." Shikamaru said, trying to wake his lover who still hugged him tightly.

Kiba just shook his head quickly and hugged him tighter.

"No matter how comfortable this position is, we must leave this place immediately, Puppy ." Shikamaru said again, this time with a small grin, enjoying a warm hug from Kiba. It's rare for her lover to spoil her like this.

Kiba's cheeks flushed as he realized the position Shikamaru intended. The two of them lay on the ground, with him hugging the pineapple-haired young man tightly. Other people will certainly think that they don't know if they see their current position.

Not having had the chance to get rid of his body, Kiba gasped in surprise, when their position suddenly turned around. The expanse of land that touched his back suddenly, told him that his lover had just turned his position, with him now under Shikamaru's body, while Shikamaru was suppressing him. His face immediately turned red.

"You're very sweet if you blush like that, Puppy ." Shikamaru chuckled a little, his hand gently wiped the tears that still wet Kiba's tattooed cheeks.

"Have you finished crying, Love ?" Shikamaru said softly, making her lover blush even more.

"II don't cry!" Kiba said with a sour frown, the hue on his cheek made him look very adorable.

Shikamaru just chuckled, before he touched his lips to his lover's lips gently. His finger stroked Kiba's cheek slowly, he closed his eyes and deepened the lips. His tongue softly licked the tiny lips, Kiba responded by opening his lips, replying to that touch. The tongue intertwined with each other, changing the touch of the lips into a hot coat.

Naruto's blond eyebrows twisted in confusion as the voice he heard suddenly vanished. He accelerated his footsteps, afraid of anything - whoever the owner of the voice, the only one who might be a creature other than trees and himself in the forest, had gone the other way.

Naruto chuckled irritably when he met, again, the bushes were quite thick and tall. Without wasting time, he entered the bushes, remembering the sound he had just heard seemed to come from behind the bushes.

One of his blond eyebrows raised when he heard something, like a sigh?

"W-Wait Shika, you said we have to look for another one - even so" The sentence Kiba said was mixed with sigh.

"After you were so sweet, Puppy, I could not help it ..." replied her lover, she licked Kiba's delicate neck, and pressed hard until it turned red.

"Ahhh ... wait, I heard ngnnn - something ahhhnnn ..." Kiba said with a sigh, ohh, that was good. What did her lover just do to her body?

Naruto's blond eyebrows were getting sharper, as the sound he heard was clearer. But, he couldn't possibly hear something he thought he had just heard about right?

Naruto shook his head, and walked faster. His hands moved to get rid of the branches from the shrubs that disturbed his path. After feeling so long in the bushes, he finally managed to get out of there, and-

"Ahhh Shika ..." Kiba sighed favorably when his nipples were sucked strongly by the dominance. He put his arms around his lover.

He glanced sideways, as the voice he had heard was clearer. "h-hey mmnnn Shika ahhhn ..." he tried to call his lover, but the pleasure that touched his body really couldn't make him stop sighing.

"Sh-shika ..." he called again, as the simultaneous noise of movements from behind large bushes not far from them became increasingly clear. The voice drew closer, before finally opening, showing someone who was wide-eyed. His face immediately turned red.

- a pair of shapire's eyes met with a pair of charcoal eyes.

Silence enveloped the place.

Naruto turned his eyes in surprise, when he saw the two friends in a position that really led to 'something'. He shouldn't really be here. Why does he have to ignore his instincts like that. See what he found now. Passing with two friends who are making out and doing something like that? He swallowed hard, felt to be so awkward about his current position. "Uh ..."

Kiba successfully became like a boiled crab, his body seemed to be a rock, completely motionless. Shikamaru turned to look at whatever was bothering them and widened his eyes in shock. His body stopped moving.

Silence multiplied. None of the three of them moved or talked.

Feeling to be very uncomfortable, Naruto finally voiced his voice. "Uhh ... s-please just continue, I'll turn around and pretend I didn't see this. See you later." He waved quickly and turned to leave.

"Don't wait!" Kiba shouted red, his hand frantically pushed Shikamaru from his body.

"I-this isn't like what you see!" Kiba shouted frantically.

"It's troublesome ..." Shikamaru sighed.

"Wait, Naruto!"

"Uh, calm down. I can understand. Don't worry, you guys are mate, this is normal. Please just continue, I'll go and pretend not to see this."Naruto answered, feeling like he wanted to leave quickly.

Kiba who heard it was even more reddish. "This isn't at all like you think! We didn't do anything!"

Didn't Naruto say he could understand? Damn, why does he have to meet them at such a time?

"This isn't what you see! We don't do anything! You have to understand!" Kiba continued to frantically panic, he stood up and ran towards Naruto.

Hey, hey, wait a minute! He already said he could understand right! What part of the sentence is unclear ?! He said he would pretend not to see. Why didn't Kiba let him go instead of being discussed like this. And Kiba, fix the clothes first!

"Haah troublesome, Kiba, just leave it. You will only make yourself more embarrassed. Puppy ." Shikamaru sighed.

Puppy? Puppy ?! This is only Naruto or Shikamaru really calling Kiba that name ?!

"U-um ... did you hear anything?" Hinata asked hesitantly at the two young men walking beside him.

"Listen to what?" Kankurou asked curiously, he walked faster to overtake.

"S-like the sound of water ..." Hinata answered stumbling.

"Hm?" Shino stopped stepping when she saw one of her insects just returned from walking down the cave. The insect immediately stuck to his body. He talked to the insect for a while, then nodded in understanding.

"There are waterfalls a few meters from here. We can get out of there." It was clear to the two friends who were staring at him a little strange or confused.

"Really? Baguette, it's like I'm sick of this place. Let's go." Kankurou said happily, his enthusiasm immediately returned to his body. He walked faster in the direction Shino had just shown, followed by his two friends from behind.

As Shino explained, the sound of gurgling water immediately sounded so heavy after he walked a few meters there. A smile spread on his face when he finally caught sight of the big waterfall. The sparkle of light instantly filled the dark cave room. He ran out, standing on the rocks near the waterfall that flowed so hard. Spectacular views immediately welcomed him. The lake is very big and looks very deep caught in his eyes. A cool breeze blows throughout his body.

Kankurou glanced around the lake, before walking through the rocks to get to the edge of the lake.

"Hey, isn't that Kankurou? Kankurou!" a voice called out to him.

Kankurou turned towards the sound, the smile on his lips widened. He looked back to call his two friends who were left behind. "Hey, we found another one!" he shouted at Hinata and Shino.

Hinata also accelerated his steps when he heard that. He smiled happily when he saw his other friends. "Sakura-san, Ino san, Chouji-san!"call them.

Sakura, Ino and Chouji immediately approached his friends when they saw them coming out from behind the waterfall. The three of them were the first people who had discovered the big and beautiful lake. Instead of going around unclear in the middle of the forest to find friends, they decided to wait there, convinced that their friends would surely pass the lake. Sure enough, not long ago they met with three friends.They were greeted by three other friends.

"Hinata-sama!" Neji asked with great relief when he saw that his cousin's younger brother was already on the lake which he smelled some time ago. He immediately ran toward his cousin, behind him Tenten and Lee followed him.

"This place is amazing ..." Tenten said with astonishment at the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"Right? We were the first to find it!" recok Sakura happily.

"You have to try the water! The water here is very fresh to drink!" Ino added with enthusiasm.

Sakura and the other three girls were happy to go to the rocks, playing with water like a child who had just found the toy.

"Ahh, it must be cool if we take a bath here!" Ino sighed favorably, enjoying the water soaking his hands and feet. Right now he is sitting on rocks, his hands and feet playing in the water. Next to him, the three female friends also enjoyed the coolness of the water there.

Unbeknownst to the nine demons, far, very far inside the lake, something moved quickly towards the surface of the water.

Sakura without a defense goes deeper towards the lake. His legs thrust into the water with pleasure.If there were no men there, he would have bathed under the waterfall for a long time. Ah ... the taste must be very refreshing.

Sakura turned towards the three female friends who were sitting on the rocks just a few meters away. He also called them to join in the water. The three friends were happy to obey.

"U-um, are you guys hearing anything?" Hinata asked hesitantly when he heard something from the water.

"Listen to what?" Ino connected, glancing around to find out what his friend meant.

"There isn't anything. The most is just your feelings. Only the sound of the waterfall is heard!" Sakura replied, she walked further towards the lake.

"Hey, Sakura, don't get there. The lake looks very deep. It will be dangerous if you sink." Tenten advised.

"Haha, calm down, calm down. I know, I'm just - huh?" Sakura glanced down as her eyes caught something. It feels like someone was moving in there. Hmm ... maybe it's just his feeling. Starting to feel goose bumps, he turned to the others. Not realizing something that was moving slowly approached his feet and-

"KYAAAAAAAAA!" Sakura screamed loudly when something suddenly pulled her legs, dragging her very quickly into the water.

"SAKURA ?!" Ino shouted frantically, running into the water to chase his friend. The other Demon immediately ran towards them with great panic when they heard the shout.

Their eyes widened very wide, when something - anything that attacked and dragged Sakura into the water finally revealed its form from inside the lake. The creature was orange, with so many long objects writhing under his body, and one of them was lifted up in the air with Sakura twisted by him.

"Hey, did you hear anything?" Naruto asked his two friends, his sense of hearing was like catching a loud enough shout.

"Listen to what?"Shikamaru replied very lazily, beside him Kiba walked down, his face still flushed. It feels really embarrassing to be caught in such a position. Kiba felt a little relieved because the one who saw it was only Naruto. Where do you want to put that face on, if someone else sees it too ?! Just finding himself submissive enough was enough for him, it took him a long time to admit that he liked his lover, even if he was the one who had to become a lover in their relationship. Now that someone else knew it, even Naruto saw it in such a position. Ahhh, this is very embarrassing.

"I feel like I heard that scream ..." Naruto muttered uncertainly.

"Hey Kiba" he called his friend who was the dog demon .

Kiba gasped in surprise, his cheeks blushing again. "W-what?"

"What do you think, did you hear anything?" Naruto asked, feeling Kiba's hearing would be better than him.

"H-huh? Oh, a minute." Kiba also focused his chakra on his sense of hearing. His eyebrows twitched when he heard the rush of running water, then there were a few other noises like "Shouts? It seemed like there was a fight nearby, and there was a waterfall too." Brightness to his two friends.

"Really ?! Let's go there! Maybe it's another one." Naruto said quickly, before hurrying and running towards the direction he was hearing. Shikamaru and Kiba followed him behind.

After running for a few minutes, the sound they heard was getting clearer, and sure enough, it seemed like there was a fight there. Naruto heard an explosion that was quite loud a few meters from where he was running. Not wanting to miss, he accelerated his pace. The glare immediately welcomed him, when he came out of the forest, followed by a spectacular view of the lake and waterfall.

Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru widened wide when they caught something that was happening on the lake. It might be true if they should be happy because they managed to find their friends. But, if you have to find them fighting like this, moreover those who fight them are no small thing. That monster, really that monster, isn't just an ordinary monster. But the monster that is truly MONSTER, in the middle of the lake, is orange in color, with long objects writhing beneath it, it keeps on moving, snatching around like a ... tentacle?

If it is only tentacles, and that monster is an octopus monster is fine, but WHY SHOULD IT BE ABOUT IT ?!

to be continued in part B ...
