No, I don't own Naruto...
Chapter 8
Yume sat up in bed and rubbed her numb leg. She then took a good look at her surroundings. "How did I get here?" she asked herself in the emptiness.
Suddenly outside her door she heard someone saying, "Shit shit shit!" and the sound of keys twirling. Then she saw the door opening as a person came in. She could see the spiky hair as he took the keys out of the lock and as the person took off their shoes.
The person nearly ran into her room. As the person got closer she began to recognize him; the orange jacket, orange pants and the spiky yellow hair, and the soft blue eyes. "N-Naruto?" Yume said remembering.
Naruto waved at her and said, "Yo! You're awake!" Yume expression went from happy to sad. Naruto seemed to understand, "You still remember everything?" Yume looked away and sighed. Naruto thought for a bit and then got a "brilliant" idea. "I am going to the Ichiruka. Why not join me? They sell the best ramen ever!" Naruto said.
Yume looked up at Naruto and then to her leg. She slowly got up and put most of her weight on the leg that was awake. Her leg began to awake and the prickly feelings enveloped her leg. She smiled a fake smile at Naruto and said, "Yeah I'll be out soon. Could you wait for me outside?"
Naruto nodded and left her alone in the room. She watched as he left the house and she could feel the prickly sensation leave her leg. She sighed and slowly walked over to put on new clothes. She changed into a short sleeve light blue shirt and black pants. She put her hair up in a pony tail. She took her small wallet and put it in her left pocket. She stepped into the bathroom and washing her hands and face. She looked at her reflection and sighed. She left and grabbed her keys. She putted the keys in her right pocket and locked her door.
She found Naruto looking up at the sky. "What are you thinking about?" Yume asked Naruto. Naruto looked back at Yume and smiled.
As he walked to her he said, "Just about what our next mission will be and all. We do keep the same teams right?"
Yume and Naruto began to walk to the Ichiruka and Yume's eyes lowered, "Most of the time we do keep the same teams, but sometimes they are broken up. Like for an example; someone is probably replacing Hatori. So that person is probably leaving a larger group of Jounins. But if someone is hurt badly and will take days to recover the team can't wait for that one person to recover. Usually assignments are given 2 to 3 days in advance so the team can be prepared."
Naruto was leading Yume to the Ichiruka. And he said, "So you are saying if Sakura-chan was injured badly we would leave her here?"
"Sort of. She would be in the hands of the medical staff around here in the hospital. We could visit her. But as Konoha is right now, not too many times people can pass an assignment to another group. Though the attack was about 4yrs ago from the Sound ninjas, we are recovering from the assignments. They piled up a lot in the C and D ranks. And the genins couldn't finish them. So some Chuunins had to do some D ranks and Jounins had to do C, B, and A rank missions. ANBUs did B, A, S rank missions; mostly the S ranks because of threats. But now, things are almost normal, it might be a few more months. I hope so at least," Yume explained to Naruto.
Naruto stepped into a small place and Yume followed. They both sat on red stools. A young lady came to them and said, "Naruto you brought a friend?" Naruto nodded ordering the usual; Ramen. The lady asked, "What would you like miss?"
Yume felt her face go a little red and said, "I'll have some Chicken Ramen please." The lady smiled and nodded.
Naruto looked over to Yume, "This is the best place to get ramen! I come here everyday I can!!" The lady nodded and laughed; agreeing with Naruto.
"So you like ramen a lot?" Yume asked Naruto.
"Hai! I have ramen for every meal practically! When I'm not eating here, I'm having cupped ramen at home," Naruto said happily.
Yume smiled and the ramen bowls full of the ramen both ordered were placed in front of them. "Itadakimasu!" they said together and began to eat in complete silence.
There were two other people who were eating there. They were use to Naruto coming there everyday, but someone new came today; Yume. They talked in low voices as both Naruto and Yume finished. "Seconds!" Naruto cried out holding up his first bowl completely empty.
Yume set her empty bowl to the side and asked, "You still have room for seconds?"
Naruto nodded as the second bowl came. The lady brought them to the back. Yume saw the cook was an older man who was a bit big. He seemed to be nice and friendly and he looked over to Naruto. "I hope the seconds taste well, I was making them as you ate," he said in friendly voice and smiled as Naruto engulfed the ramen.
Naruto pulled out three food tickets. "You don't have to do that for me Naruto," Yume said as she took out her yen for the ramen. Naruto had already given up his 3 free ramen tickets.
Naruto smiled, "It's my treat. Besides I got hundreds of those!" Yume putted her yen away and they left.
They walked down the street slowly. Yume was leading the way this time. She was heading for the office of the 5th Hokage. "Oi! Yume, where are we going?" Naruto asked.
"I need to see the 5th Hokage. I need to tell her about Hatori," Yume said a bit lost in her thinking.
"Did you want the team to go with you?" Naruto asked. Yume stopped and her hands turned into fists as her head lowered.
She bit her lower lip and little drops of water splashed the ground under her head. She then said, "I...don't know...this never happened before..."
Naruto looked down. Then Naruto said reassuring, "I bet we will met up with one of them. If not I'll go with you!" Yume smiled and wiped her unseen eyes and picked her head up. They walked to the office of the 5th Hokage.
When they got there they saw Kakashi at the door of the 5th Hokage. "So you are better?" Kakashi said looking at Yume. Yume nodded in silence.
Naruto asked, "Kakashi what are you doing here?" Kakashi turned his glaze to Naruto and smiled.
"Well, I was waiting for Yume," Kakashi said and then his wandered back to Yume. "You are going to see the 5th Hokage. Did you want Naruto to go with you?" Kakashi asked Yume.
Yume nodded and went up to the door of the 5th Hokage. She knocked on the door and a distant "Come in," rang out from behind the door. Yume opened the door and stepped inside and Naruto followed her. There the Hokage stood near a window looking out it. She turned to meet the two young Jounins.
"Hello Hokage-sama," Yume said with her eyes concentrating on the aging Hokage. She still looked young, but she was still old. Some jutsu kept her looking young.
"Hi baa-san!" Naruto said to the 5th Hokage. She smiled and waved to Naruto.
"Yume am I correct?" the Hokage asked the girl. She nodded looking at the amber eyes of the Hokage.
"You killed your brother I've heard." The Hokage said sitting in her sit. Yume winced at the word 'Brother.'
"I have killed Hatori," Yume said trying to be brave to face the Hokage.
"Why?" The Hokage asked look at Yume with her right hand supporting her face. Yume fell silent. "Don't you have a reason for killing your older brother?" the Hokage asked in annoyance.
"Hatori...Killed my family," Yume said holding back her anger and trying to hold back tears. Her hands became tight fists. She stared the Hokage down.
Naruto looked at Yume, not knowing he did that and saw some blood leak out of her hands. Her nails were digging into her hands. "Ne, Baa-san. He also tried to destroy the Hidden Village of the Waterfall!" Naruto said.
Hokage nodded. "He said...He said he was friends with Uchiha Itachi. The one who killed Sasuke's family. I had to stop...Hatori," Yume said trying to calm down.
"So you are saying if you didn't kill him then, by the time you guys made it back to Konoha you would have been dead?" the Hokage said trying to get the conclusion out of this.
"He would have destroyed us. He didn't want me to know of the information of the real past. I believe we wouldn't be here," Yume said after a moment of silence.
The Hokage got up and said, "I see, alright. You are excused from my office." The Hokage turned away to show no more was going to be answered.
The two Jounins left. "But...I doubt he could die so easily to his younger sister," The Hokage, Tsunade, said to herself once the door closed.
