Naruto arrived around noon. By then Sakura came to deliver me some clothes that the Hokage let me borrow as well as some breakfast and a little bit of money. I also was able to study my map of Konoha, including the Hokage tower. The scrolls would most likely be there.
"Hey Masa, you ready?"
"Yes." I closed and locked the door and headed with him.
He explained different parts of the village from restaurants to the book store to Ino's flower shop. I smiled and nodded my head, looking interested in places I already knew. Along the way he introduced me to Ino and her team, Iruka-sensei, Konohamaru and his gang. All were nice when they greeted me. Ino showed me around the shop, asking what flower was my favorite. Choji asked what my favorite food was. Shikamaru didn't look interested at all with me, which was normal. Konohamaru tried to get us to play with him until Iruka-sensei saw him and reminded he was supposed to be in class.
I found myself enjoying myself too much when we stopped in front of the Hokage Tower. "This is where granny stays. One day I'll stay here too."
"You're going to be Hokage Naruto?" There was no doubt he may be one day. He was probably the most powerful out of this village. Well, maybe not as powerful as me.
He smiled and held his thumbs up, "believe it."
"So, can we take a tour inside?" Good start to get a layout of the place form the inside.
He scratched his head. "Well, it would only be certain places. Granny likes to keep lost of rooms secretive. "Too many valuable items that don't need your filth on them," he air quoted. "I tried once to get a peek but Shizune caught me. Oh, that's granny's assistant."
Darn. "Oh ok." We continued walking. Naruto may not be my ticket inside the Tower after all. As we were walking I finally looked up from the ground to stop at our surroundings. I didn't know we were even near here.
"Hey you ok?" Naruto asked, following my gaze. I heard his breath change and looked to find him glaring. "Naruto?"
He shook his head and smiled a sad smile. "Sorry, just, bad memories." With that he continued walking. I watched him leave, taking one last look at the Hyuga compound.
"Are you ok?" I asked as we were eating sushi at one of the restaurants.
He smiled, back to his usual self. "Yeah I am."
I was curious. "What did you mean by bad memories?"
He sighed, "Well, we were at the house of one of my friends. At least, it was her old house." My stomach churned. I caused him bad memories?
"Who was it…" "Hey Naruto." We turned as Kiba with Akamaru on his head came in and stood by our table. "Who is this?"
"Kiba this is Masa, remember she's the one who was being kidnapped by Orochimaru. Masa this is Kiba and his dog Akamaru." I smiled and bowed my head.
"Nice to see you out of the ropes. Hope knucklehead hasn't been too much of a nuisance to you." Naruto glared.
I chuckled and shook my head when Akamaru began sniffing the air. "What is it boy?" We watched Akamaru sniff the air before growling at me. "Hey, what's the matter with you? Growling is rude. Her scent is off? What do you expect she could still smell like Orochimaru." Kiba went back and forth with Akamaru as I began panicking. What if he smelt through the disguise? Then Kiba laughed. "Sorry, Akamaru's been sick lately. All smells are strange to him."
I sighed with relief and smiled. "No harm." With that Kiba said goodbye and left. Ten minutes later we left as well.
"Thank you for taking me on the tour. It was great." I thanked as I was about to head inside.
He smiled. "Don't mention it. Good night."
"Night." I closed the door. First day in Konoha and was almost exposed by a dog. I had to be careful. Good thing I brought floral perfume that I can spray all over to mess with my scent. I didn't know what I was going to do tomorrow but I needed inside the tower.
Tired, I laid down and fell asleep.
