Chapter six: and off we go
It was 7:00 am one hour before the meeting time for team eights mission naruto was just wakeing up from a rough night. The good news was his chakra was completely restored and he was able to move. I really have to thank hinata for helping me out last night. If she didn't come along I would have had to sleep outside again. As he got up ate his usual breakfast of a power bar and energy shake. He gathered his things for the mission. It was fifteen minutes to the meeting time and naruto still couldn't find his tent. Damn he thought where did I put it. He looked at the clock double damn I gotta go . oh well i'll just sleep on the ground
He said as he walked out the door and locked it. He took a breath of freash air and took to the roofs.
Well if he's not here by now he'll be late sakura fumed and that means we'll be here a while she said sitting down. H..he'll be here d..don't worry sakura san hinata stuttered. And almost as if on cue at 8:00 am to the second naruto landed right beside them. Gooooood morning naruto said cheerfully.wow you're here on time sakura said surprised. Yep naruto said now how about we get this mission started. S..sure hinata agreed. Fine said sakura. After about an hour of walking they came to a fork in the road. Well said kurenai we have two choices we could take the mountain path or the valley path. The mountain path kurenai continued is uphill at the start but down hill at the end and it says here there are all natural hot springs around the middle HOT SPRINGS!!!! Sakura squealed I say we go that way she yelled. Y..yes it does sound nice hinata agreed w..what do you think n..naruto kun hinata continued. Well I don't really have a prefrance so I'll just go with the flow. That settles it sakura chirped the mountain path it is. As they walked up the path sakura talking happily along the way. A single dark gray eye gazed over them so there taking the high road the stranger said to himself in a deep scrachy voice that'll make things all the more easy're.
And with that the figure disappeared.
It was about 5:30 and team eight was nearing the top of the mountain and they could already smell the sulfer from the natural hot springs.then as they peered over the last hill they spoted a perfect camp site. I think that this is as good a spot as any kurenai said as she removed her backpack and placed it on the ground. Finally sakura said as she did the same and stretched. Both naruto and hinata were silently removing there backpacks when they heared sakura. Hey hinata I'll race you to the hot springs sakura said as she grabbed her towel from her bag. Hinata looked at naruto concerned for his feelings as usual. Go ahead naruto motioned I'll be fine here you just go and have fun I'll go find some firewood. Naruto said as he jumped off in the oppisite direction. Hinata are you coming sakura called out again. Y..yes i…I'm coming hinata called out as she grabed her towel.
Ahhh this feels so good sakura said as she sank further into the hotsprings. Yepp said kurenai doing the same. I.. I wonder if n..naruto kun's okay hinata said as she sat on the egde just getting into the pool. I'm sure he's fine said kurenai besides he's been alone all his life he's used to it. They all went silent. After a few minute sakura broke the silence kurenai sensei. Ya asked kurenai why do the villagers treat naruto the way they do. Hinata was also curiuse as to why they treat him so badly. Kurenai took a long sigh well
Kurenai started by law I'm not allowed to tell you anything about it the only person that can tell you about it is naruto himself. What I can say is that it's a very personal issue for naruto.b..by law both sakura and hinata said to themselves. After another long silence kurenai spoke. I'll go check on naruto she said. Alright sakura said. Well be there for dinner soon.right kurenai said as she walked away fully dressed.
When she got back to camp she found naruto sitting back against a rock across from a roaring fire with a pot on it. Hey nartuo kurenai said hey sensei naruto said without opening his eyes. Uh naruto. Ya sensei your teamates are starting to ask question about you little friend there she motioned towards his stomach. Naruto sighed I was hoping to tell them back home were they had the choice to avoid me but I guess you can't always get what you want right sensei. Kurenai hurt. not for sakura or hinata but for naruto. He was so sure that they would hate him for what he has no control over. Hey guys were back sakura called out. Mmmm smells good naruto sakura said. Thanks naruto replied softly. Dinner was served and eaten in relative silence after which the sat for another fifteen minutes silently. Finally after another five minutes naruto said you guys i…I kinda got something to tell you. All three of naruto's teamates snapped into attention and waited. Go on naruto it's all right kurenai said after a brief pause. Well you see i-just then a tall muscular figure appeared behind kurenai and spoke in a deep scrachy voice. Well I take it you the commander of this squad and before kurenai could react she felt her eyes getting heavyer and eventually going shut. Kurenai sensei all three genin screamed. As the jumped to there feet. Naruto through a kunai at the figure only to have it pass through nothingness as the figure disappeared.NOW naruto cried as all three genins rushed over to there sensei backs to each other with kunai in hand. Hinata is she alright naruto asked emotionlessly hinata carfully bent down to check kurenai's vitals. S..she's just out cold n..naruto kun
Good naruto said just as emotionless as before. hahahahaha well not that it maters you'll all be dead anyways a voice chuckled off in the distance who are you..what do you want sakura called out. What I want? Hhmmm well I want to kill you and just as the figure finished his last word he flashed an intense killer intent down upon the genins. Sakura and hinata were brought to there knees naruto however was not affected in the slightest. You call that killer intent naruto called out emotionlessly. I've felt more killer intent from a buuny in a hole. Grrr insolent brat lets see how you like it when you friend die right before you eyes. As he finished that word he appeared behind naruto and gave a kick to the stomachs of hinata and sakura which sent them flying in opposite directions both going though a thin tree. As they both slowly rose hinata felt a powerful arm wrap around her throat stuggling to breath naruto could only make out one word she said n..naruto kun. Naruto help!!!!! Naruto turned around to see sakura being strangled in the same way by a shadow clone. Hahahahah now what brat looks like you'll have to choose which one to save. Oh and by the way my name is abramaru akahoshi a stone village jonin and missing nin. I don't care if you the strongest ninja in the world you hurt my friends and that is unforgivable naruto yelled out. As sakura and hinata started to loose consciousness they realized naruto was fighting a stone jonin all by himself. They both tried to tell naruto to run away but neither of them could breathe and were on the edge of passing out.
SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!!!! Naruto cried as eleven other naruto's appeared. Lets do this they cried. They separated into groups of six and charged each opponent damn. Abramaru thought well then shall we he smirked and threw both kunochi at a clone only to be caught by a clone and placed on the ground with a clone guard. The other ten clones attacked relentlessly with taijutsu but both abramaru's seemed to be barely able to handle the many naruto's attacks. Then abramaru found the opening he's been waiting for and used it to destroy all the clones with one sweeping kick as the then proceded to help the other abramaru and destroyed all those clones with the added fire power of two jonins. Abramaru soon realized once the smoke cleared that the original naruto was nowhere to be found he turned to the two clones guarding there teamates just in time to see them jump back out of the way carrying there passengers with them. Hmmp that means that the original is one of you two. The clones winced then smirked. And both disappeared. WHAT!!!!! abramaru cried . or not as abramaru looked up he saw something so familiar it shook him to his core y..you h..how do you know that jutsu tell me now!!!! demanded Abramaru. I don't' know what jutsu you thinking of buddy but this jutsu is mine and mine alone hell I just finished it yesterday. IMPOSSIBLE THAT NOT POSSIBLE!!!!
