" Please, Take a seat". The old lady said. Lee, Naruto, And Shikamaru sat at the kitchen table, Kiba, Neji, and Shino were just standing and leaning against the wall. Ino, Tenten, Hinata, and Choji sat at some of the seats that were just on the side. Everyone was around the old lady.
" So Old Lady, what's this about the 'Legend of the Harunos' and stuff? " Naruto asked.
" First of all, my name isn't old lady, Its Shizuka, But you may call me Grandma Shizuka" Shizuka said.
" My names Naruto Uzumaki, Nice to meet you!" Naruto said.
" And I'm Shikamaru Nara, And that's Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, Rock Lee, Neji Hyuga , Hinata Hyuga, Tenten, Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, and his ninja dog Akamaru." Shikamaru said ,pointing at each person when he said each of their names.
" It's very nice to meet you all, and I assume your trying to look for this Sakura girl right?" Grandma Shizuka asked.
Everyone nodded.
" The Legendary Haruno Clan…" Grandma Shizuka sighed out.
"… I don't know the EXACT truth about them, but I heard so many similar stories about them…"
" The people of the Haruno clan were powerful people when it came to battling, but they were very caring to everything in there surroundings. They had a gift that no ninja had… nobody can steal it, not even the great sharingan of the Great Uchiha clan can copy it. They were very similar to Sound Ninjas. You see, they used their voice and their own taijutsu to stop their enemy. When they fought in hand to hand combat, it was as if as though they were dancing. They had a really smooth fighting style. I don't know about their voices but, I heard that, if you hear a Haruno sing, it's the most beautiful thing in the world. They use their voice for healing and battling." She said.
"So, what happened to them?" Naruto asked.
( Try to imagine the song "sadness and sorrow" start about here)
" An unfortunate tragedy happened. A large wolf-like demon, full of hatred, destroyed the Haruno clan. I don't know if it was a tailed beast or something else, but it killed everyone in the clan. Since the Haruno clan was isolated from villages and towns, no one came to save them. The leaders of the clan, mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, everyone had died that day." She said getting teary-eyed.
" How do you know this?" Shikamaru asked.
" I met a man from that clan that day. He was on the verge of death. I did my best to treat him, but it was no use. He told me what had happened, and how everything was like a nightmare, but on his last breath he said, that he believes that one day, the Haruno clan will live again, and will not be perished.
My village was the closest one to the clan. After the man died, I called everyone in my village for help. Once we arrived at the Clan, It was too late. The first thought that came to my mind was, the children of the leaders. They could have become great warriors. I've only seen them once in my life. They were so young and so full of life. I remember their big smiles. But they are gone. They didn't even get a chance to live their lives. On that day, that's what I thought. Everyone in my village was frightened, and so we fled. And my family and I moved here, in the land of fire. But now you showed me this picture of this girl, who happens to be a Haruno, and maybe, the man's wish could be true. Now I'am certain, that the Haruno clan is still standing." She said with a smile on her face at the end.
" Do you remember which land the Haruno clan is?" Shikamaru asked.
" I lived around the land of Sound, but the Haruno clan lived a lot further than me. I believe they had their own land, but I don't know if its still there today. It was called, The Land of Cherry Blossoms."
" ALRIGHT! THANKS A LOT GRANDMA SHIZUKA!" Naruto said happily.
" Yes, Thank-you, your story helped a lot, well then, we will be going now." Shikamaru said.
" Just a sec, if the Haruno Clan happens to still be here, will you notify me?" Shizuka asked.
" Of Course, well, take care now." Shikamaru said.
Everyone Left.
Grandma Shizuka walked outside of her front door.
" Stay safe, and may the spirits of the Harunos guide you on your journey." She said.
