By : Climax
Hello fiction lovers!! I'm a newbie here, so go easy on me.
Disclaimer : how very very sadly and unfortunately, none of Naruto is mine. But there is some made up character by ME and I own them.
Important notes : THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO WRITE A STORY IN ENGLISH. SO, IF I DONE A VOCABULARY OR (ESPECIALLY) GRAMMAR MISTAKES, NEVER FIRE ME. BUT CRITIQUES WILL BE ACCEPT WITH WIDE, OPEN ARMS.
Synopsis : Naruto lost from his battle with Sasuke when he tried to bring the boy back. Meanwhile at the Hokage's tower Tsunade and Shizune found old scrolls that leads to the big secret from the past. Things gone strangely after that scrolls found.
A/N : what a very bad synopsis...
Prologue
The Hidden Scrolls
Naruto grumbled as loudly as he can. Since he backed to the village, things gone from bad to worse. First, his wound was so god damn bad until that annoying Kyubi shook its head when he met him in his sleep. Second, his mental broke because he felt to be a failure; it means he was not be able to bring that bastard's ass. The last, because of that he has no face to face Sakura. All thanks to that bastard Sasuke and that blasted, wretched, ugly snake Orochimaru. Hell, three nicknames would never be enough for that scared-for-death guy. Plus one from the previous sentence.
Naruto punched the tree in front of him as hard as he could. He was at the training ground. It was his favorite spot because that was the only place he could released his anger as much as he please. After minutes of punching and kicking a poor tree, he decided it was enough. Now is the time to practice his shuriken. He hasn't training that one technique lately.
Naruto took a few shuriken from his pouch and went to the forest. He decided to went there because there was more than enough thing to be targeted. Except the cute, weak animals. Heh, his mind was really unbalanced, because now he thought he want Tora, Mrs. Tsujimi's cat to be here so it could be his delicious target. That cat has a quite fast legs for Hokage's sake.
Not in a very long time, Naruto spotted a fierce looking wolf. He stopped on a tree branch to took a good view of that beautiful creature. What a good day, wolfs in hidden village Konoha is known by its agility and cunningness. What a perfect shuriken practice partner. But Naruto didn't want to hurt that animal. What an egoistic of him to make an innocent animal hurt only because he make it as shuriken target. So he decided to retreated. However, before the blond boy could lift a leg, the branch snapped like frail twigs and made the boy fell to the ground IN FRONT OF the wolf. Fortunately, his reflex ness helped him to landed on two feet. But now he was on trouble.
The wolf growled in a fierce growl. It looks like it found its meal. What a wrong place in a wrong time for Naruto.
"You know wolf? Seconds before, I pity you. But if you attack me, it will gone," threatened Naruto sarcastically, trying to make it not want to eat him. Heh, if that wolf could understand human languages, it would not charged to Naruto now.
However, before it reach Naruto or Naruto had the chance to threw his shurikens, an arrow hutted the wolf's front leg. It made the wolf tripped by his leg and fall to the ground ungraciously. The wolf struggled to stand but failed and fell to the ground again. Naruto turned to looked who was the one that shot the arrow.
There, on a thick branch, stood a girl around his age with long, green colored hair. Her hair was tied into a high braid. But the hair only halfway braided. She has small and slim features. She wears a cream colored cloak that looks so dirty and old. Her eyes were covered by a thick, ribbon like cloth with grey color. She has two front bangs like Sasuke's. But the difference is, her bangs were longer and reached her shoulder. She hold a very long bow that almost as tall as her. On her back there was an arrow container that looks full.
Naruto stared at her with wide eyes. She's a pretty girl even her eyes were covered. The girl jumped down and Naruto could saw that she wore black earrings with long rectangular shaped pendulum and a pair of archer gloves in Japanese style.
Naruto opened his mouth to speak. "Who... are you?"
Meanwhile, Tsunade and Shizune decided that this was the perfect time to clean and rearrange the Hokage's Tower. Because this is the rare day that the shinobis lacked of missions. So, despite the grumblings and sighs from them, Tsunade ordered them to help her to clean and rearrange the tower.
"Damn he, Sarutobi-sensei. Didn't he EVER bother to cleaned up this tower when he was a Hokage? This tower's condition can rival old ruins..." grumbled Tsunade as she swept the books in library's rack and coughed by the cloud like dust. She and Shizune have the part to clean the old library that contains old books and scrolls. She decided to clean it herself with Shizune because this section contains forbidden and secret information. What a very fool of her to let a mere shinobi entered this section.
"However, this building is already as old as this village, Tsunade-sama..." explained Shizune as she took a pile of books and sneezed.
Tsunade took a ladder and climbed it up to the top of the highest rack. They haven't touch that part yet. So was the previous Hokage 'cause it seems so... old and dusty. "Man, I bet not only Sarutobi-sensei or fourth Hokage didn't touch this. But the second Hokage too..." commented Tsunade as she wiped out the spider nets from her way.
Then she noticed a century years old looking medium sized black box. This caught Tsunade's curiousity. Tsunade tried to pulled out the box and she felt it was so hard to do it. She pushed all her strength and finally, she succeeded. But she lost her balance on the ladder and fell to a pile of books. Shizune quickly ran to her side.
"Tsunade-sama! Are you okay?!" asked a very worried Shizune. But Tsunade ignored her. She opened the box and checked what's inside.
There was two old scrolls. But strangely, one of its title written in Hiragana. The title is 'diary'. Why someone would keep some child's diary (judging from it was written in hiragana) in such an important section? And the second was the same meaning but it was in kanji and there is a sign that named : 'First Hokage'. Now Tsunade understand why these things were kept in this dusty, high place.
Tsunade tried to opened the first scroll (the one in Hiragana) but failed. Then she tried the second. The result was no better than the first. Then she noticed there were three seals on each scroll and she never has seen this kind of seal. Must be they are one of the ancient seals. Surely the first didn't want to be his life secret revealed. Tsunade thought for a moment and decided to call help.
"Shizune, collect all the history and seal specialist. I need to know what's inside of these scrolls," commanded Tsunade. Shizune nodded and went out. Tsunade sighed. Her long day has gotten longer.
