Chapter 11
Naruto sighed in frustration, frowning at the bridge builder. He may have only explained the situation, but he had still lied, and the blonde had had enough to do with lying a long time ago. He glanced at Idai, who was just standing there calmly, though his arms we're crossed. The redhead probably disliked the idea of his 'little brother' being lied to, and sent on a mission more dangerous than expected. But this was a ninja's job, and even if Idai didn't like it, Naruto was a ninja. The sky blue eyes looked to his teammates, who we're currently conversing with the liar bridge-builder.
"Alright team, it's come down to this. We can either abandon the mission and return to Konoha, or continue on, even though it's dangerous." Kakashi finally said, speaking to his students. Naruto closed his eyes in thought, listening to Sakura and Sasuke's opinions.
"I think we should keep going." Spoke the Uchiha, of the group. Sakura was soon to agree with her crush, leaving the option up to the only blonde present. Naruto half-opened his eyes, staring at the ground, leaning against a tree, arms crossed. His foot also just happened to be harshly pressing down on the only living Demon brother's chest.
"Neccasarially, Liar Fat Drunk-san lied to us. And this mission has been ranked up. But if we return it will make Konoha's image become worse. Also, he's using his grandson and daughter's possible hate and sadness a threat. And I don't feel like making woman and little boys angry with me. So I guess we should keep going." He finally answered, shrugging and standing from his position. The silver-haired jounin nodded.
"Alright, Tazuna-san. Lead the way." Kakashi stated, and the group formed a half-circle around Tazuna and Idai.
"Idai-kun." Naruto spoke up, looking to the red-head.
"Yep?"
"Makes Me Wonder?"
"Nah. I was thinking Kamikaze."
"Hmm….Not enough words in that."
"Oh! What about one from One Republic?"
"All The Right Moves?"
"Sure."
Sakura and Sasuke, blinked in confusion, looking at the conversing friends. What we're they talking about? Songs? Their answer was soon received, and Idai began whistling and Naruto sang.
"All the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
They got all the right moves in all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down" Naruto sang softly, head bobbing back and forth, eyes closed.
"Just paint the picture of a perfect place
They got it better than what anyone's told you
They'll be the King of Hearts, and you're the Queen of Spades
Then we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers" Idai sang as well, looking to his blonde friend, smiling gently.
"I know we've got it good
But they got it made
And the grass is getting greener each day
I know things are looking up
But soon they'll take us down,
Before anybody knows our name." The blonde responded, shaking his head 'no'
"They got all the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
We've got all the right moves and all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down" They sang together, as Naruto's eyes snapped open, looking to the sky.
"Do you think I'm special?
Do you think I'm nice?
Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?" Naruto questioned quietly, glancing at Sakura secretly, since his crush was still there, even if it was smaller.
"Between the noise you hear
And the sound you like
Are we just sinking in an ocean of faces?" Idai questioned, looking at the sky, frowning.
"It can be possible that rain can fall,
Only when it's over our heads
The sun is shining every day, but it's far away
Over the world is dead." Naruto tsked, and scowled, before He and the red-head sang together.
"They got,
They got,
All the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
They got, all the right moves and all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down" They both stopped songing, as Idai's whistling flooded the area.
"It don't matter what you see.
I know I could never be
Someone that'll look like you.
It don't matter what you say,
I know I could never face
Someone that could sound like you." Naruto spoke up again, glancing at all of his teammates, and Idai.
"All the right friends in all the wrong places" Idai sang louder.
"So yeah, we're going down" The two traded back and forth.
"They got all the right moves and all the wrong faces"
"So yeah, we're going down"
"All the right friends in all the right places"
"So yeah, we're going down"
"They got all the right moves and all the right faces"
"So yeah, we're going down"
"They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going"
"Yeah, we're going down"
"They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going"
"Yeah, we're going down.
Yeah, we're going down.
Yeah, we're going down." Naruto sang beautifully, a sad smile on his face as Idai took over.
"All the right moves, hey
Yeah, we're going down
All the right moves, hey
Yeah, we're going down" They both stopped singing; Idai's whistling slowly fading to nothing, as the somber song ended. Sakura looked at the ground depressed, and Sasuke frowned. Tazuna looked away from them, and silently, wiped away a tear that had appeared in his eye.
Eventually, the group of 6 reached the ocean, before walking along the sandy shore, until they reached a small bay, where a man, sitting in a wooden canoe, with a motor on the back stood, as fog rolled by. The man waved to them, as they got closer until they reached the boat.
"Alright, all of you get in." Spoke the fisherman, whose face was hidden by the fog and his wide brimmed hat. The ninja, and two citizens quietly piled into the boat, amazingly all of them fit. The fisherman then pushed them off, and into the water, before using a paddle to help them glide across the surprisingly calm channel. Fog blocked everything from view, as Tazuna eventually began a more detailed explanation of what was going on in the Land Of Waves. Naruto absentmindedly, half-listened to what was being said, but not enough to get anything from it. Though the blonde looked up quickly when he saw a gigantic object looming in the dense fog.
"Is that the bridge?" he asked, tilting his head. While it was bigger than the ones he had seen when he lived with the Sohma family, he wasn't very surprised. Tazuna nodded in response, gazing up at the masterpiece. Naruto took in the huge object, before his blue gaze turned to the ocean. Idai inspected the blonde carefully. The redhead had realized that, from what he'd heard from others, that Naruto's true personality was slowly coming out, whether the blonde knew it or not. The Naruto he remembered was a bit lazy, and always rather calm. He was rather mellow, and only got really excited during a fight. The blonde had always cared for his friends and family, and didn't hide that fact, which got him in trouble a lot. Idai let a small smile spread across his face, as he watched Naruto act like his old self.
"Hey you." A feminine voice interrupted Idai's thoughts. The redhead looked back, to the see the pink haired banshee, which was Naruto's teammate.
"Yes?"
"Why are you coming with us?"
"Because I can."
A vein pulsed on Sakura's head as she glared angrily at the redhead. "That's no excuse!" She practically screeched at him. The boatman glared at her.
"Quiet Down!" he snapped. "Why do you think we're being so quiet?" He asked her, eyebrows furrowed. Sakura frowned but fortunately, shut up.
"Hey Naruto…" Idai spoke up, and leaned over to his friend. "Did you tell your family you we're leaving the village?" The blonde stared at the red-head, eyes wide.
"SHIT!"
