Chapter1: To the Rescue!
It was a beautiful spring day in Konoha. The pure green leaves flushing though the lands, flowers blooming so lovely, the clear blue skies and the spherical blistering sun reflecting on the lake to make the water glisten. The birds and butterflies fluttered through the to decorate the skies.
Legends say that whenever the birds set down, the sun set with them. Like a unison of nature. The sunset's glowing bright orange and yellow paint spills into the waters. A breathtaking sight to see, the flowers wave their goodbyes to the sun's rays. The bright blue skies stay and turn dark and begin to sleep.
The beautiful he sunset begins to say it's final good-bye while four leaf ninjas by the lightly colored orange and yellow lake also say their farewells to each other.
"Okay," announced a silver haired guy with only one eye revealed, "I guess our mission is over for today!"
"That mission was crappy," muttered the spiky blonde haired boy wearing an orange spring jacket and orange pants, "why couldn't we get a more exciting and more dangerous one, Kakashi-sensei?" He asked the silver haired guy. Kakashi shrugged and ignored what he said then went poof away.
A pink hair girl covered her mouth with her hand yawning strident and muttered so lousy, "Sigh, I think I should leave too, bye Sasuke-kun." She waved so sluggishly to the raven haired boy with eyes that looked like round black bowling ball, but make him look so stubborn.
"Heh, I'm leaving." He muttered softly then traveled back home.
It was fully pitch dark, the moon blocking the sun's beam. The lake that use to have spilling yellow-orange paint was pure clear navy-blue, calm and soothing. Nothing made a sound, nothing at all. Just nature and Naruto. Naruto, as usual, has been lonely his whole life. Just stuck in a black hole for 12-years, he hated the black hole so much. He wish he could be like everyone else. Being…loved…Naruto just stood by the huge healthy green tree in silence. He out his hands in his pockets and sighed, looking so glum in the face.
"Nobody asked me to walk home with them… none of them." He gasped solemnly.
For a minute or two he was in that same stance then strolled away in the forest for a while before he goes to his lonesome abode. He didn't really care where he was heading, he thought of the loneliness he had when he was a child, sitting by a wooden swing right to the academy school. He lean on the swing glumly as he watched people from the village pass by him. People stare at him so vice like he just did a horrible thing. Crowds of anonymous citizens bellowed out random words…
"Go away, leave!"
"Uh, there he is!"
"Monster!"
Every time someone scolded Naruto or called him names. It just dissolved his heart one by one until there is no more but bursting tears running down his cheek…
Naruto finally reached to the dark vague edge of the forest. "I guess that's the end…" he whispered to himself. He curved back until he saw four ninjas crowded his surround. Naruto became alerted, in his fighting stance while the other four anonymous ninjas just stood there grinning at Naruto slyly.
"Hey, hey kid you shouldn't be out in the dark it's scary." Stepped up a thin tall ninja with a navy-blue face mask just like Kakashi's.
"Heh, he's right you know," said a fat green moa-hawk with a looped earring on his left ear, "you should run!"
Naruto didn't say a word, he felt disgusted the way they said it. He couldn't find any headband to see which country they were recognized for, but he could assure that they have moves like ninjas. Naruto looked at the other two who haven't spoke yet. They looked ready to attack him any moment now...anytime until the thin face masked ninja abruptly poof right behind Naruto. Naruto glared at him in shocked to see how fast this guy was. "Didn't mom teach you any manners?" The thin man muttered, "I'm the one talking here so you should at least look at me!" He grabbed the collar of Naruto's jacket with one solid hand of a grip and the other hand forming a ball of a fits.
"This is what you get, kid." He mumbled. The face masked ninja pulled back his fist to gain power on it, before he could reach his final step. An instant rapid wind came passing through, a cloudy mini tornado rush by and slowly reducing its speed. The four ninjas gawked at the tornado upon them, so did Naruto. As the wind slowly decreased the speed a shadow shimmered through the tornado. Everyone started diligently at the shadowy figure.
The dusted wind blew away. The group of ninjas gazed at the full appearance. It was medium height person with everything covered up, the face covered up with a mask, a blue leathered suit layered the arms, hands, legs, feet, chest, everything. Except one eye was naked, the person's golden crisped hair was covering the other eye completely and a little bit on the other, but barely. His eyes were sparkly sapphire colored, reflecting the moon's rays. The unknown person was silent, waiting for the group to speak up first. The wish was grant and so the thin man pointing with the fist that was to use to be for Naruto
was now pointing at the mysterious guy bellowed loudly with words coming out of his mouth. "Who the hell are you," he clasped tightly on Naruto's jacket again, "and why are you here! This is none of your business!"
The anonymous guy stood there ignoring the question for a minute, then finally answered in a harsh tone. "Let him go." The rest of them just stared at the guy while the words that he just said kept repeating in their heads. Especially in Naruto, he couldn't believe it. 'Let him go' whispered in his ear non-stopped. Naruto zoned out.
The thin ninja smirked then muttered. "Hah, you get your wish," He threw Naruto with intense force in the forest bushes which caused Naruto to black out totally, "but you can't leave so easily." After what the thin man just said he threw two kunais directly at him. The one eyed guy stared at the kunai severely for a second. The other four started letting out chuckles and grins at him, but when they wanted to observe the guy again, he wasn't there…
"Hey! Where is he!" Questioned the fat guy. Right after that statement a kunai was right on the thin man's leathered neck. The thin man glare behind himself and spotted him right behind his back, with the sapphire eyed man tying two kunais behind the thin man's neck. The thin man was in deep shock. The anonymous guy said in a calm curios voice. "I believe this is yours, am I right?" The other three gawked widely to see there fellow companion in distress. The thin man tried to spit out words with two kunais on his neck.
"How…what…"
"I'd suggest you should leave and never bother anyone again, right?" The unknown man muttered in his ea softly.
"Ri…right."
The anonymous guy unleashed the thin man's neck from the two sharp metallic kunais. The thin man took deep breathes then hollered, "Run for it!" The four ninjas ran out of the forest screaming madly from the nightmare they were in.
The unknown guy sighed and folded his arms and stated. "Is this really what ninjas actually act like?" He chuckled at his own words for a moment and turned on the light bulb in the head. "Oh! The kid!" He rushed to the bushes where the thin man threw Naruto at. The anonymous guy finally spotted Naruto, still knock out from the beginning. The guy smiled and giggled out, "Haha, I found you!" He dragged Naruto and put him up on his shoulders with the belly at the top of the shoulder blades and walked down to the next door cave…
"Oh," moaned Naruto. Naruto was all fuzzy when he tried to wake up from his black out. He shook his head several times just to focus his eyes. He squinted and gazed around the place he was at. He saw rocky walls, the muddy ground, and a camp fire with flames sparking out like fire crackers. Naruto also found a knitted cotton blue blanket covering his whole body and a backpack filled with food and medical kits. Naruto kept browsing around the place and found and reflecting shadow on the ground. Naruto opened his small pouch bag around his waist and got out four kunais ready for an assault.
"Okay,"he began, "one, two,…THREE!" Naruto threw the kunais at his target and got the shadowy figure. "Alright I got him!" Naruto went cheerfully with two arms and two fists going up in air and his legs jumping himself up and down with victory. "Oh yeah, go Naruto…" He went on doing the victory dance, "I think I showed those four wack—O!" As he started looking at the person he hitted, it wasn't even close to four people. It was the guy who rescued him from the four ninjas earlier holding a paper bag filled with holes now, thanks to Naruto, filled with more medical kits and food. The guy looked at Naruto sweating from the head to toe from that instant attack. 'Thank god I blocked them' he thought nervously to himself.
Then he smile and gave a chuckled expression towards Naruto and said, "Hi there, I'm glad you're awake!" Naruto blushed so red as a rose in embarrassment. Then Naruto replied, "Um…hi" Naruto walked to the guy and gave out a helping hand with the punched holed bag he pierced with the kunai knives. And they both sailed off towards the cave.
The one-eyed guy took out a rusty old pot and putted random types of food in it. He placed the pot above the fire with a bar and two sticks to support the pot's level. Naruto was sitting down on the ground leaning on the bumpy rocky wall covered with the knitted cotton blue again. Watching the mysterious guy cook food for him.
Naruto kept staring at him hard, his hands trembling underneath the covers. Naruto took out his hands to observe them. Shaking rapid were the results of his hand, he stared back at the golden wavy bangs covering one eye and a little bit of the other. 'I've never had this feeling before', Naruto thought, 'I've never felt this much warmth in my whole life... never.'
The guy stood and started walking towards Naruto. He snatched the bag beside Naruto and began to burrow deep into the bag. He stopped and grabbed out a roll of bandages. He un rolled a strip and used his hands to rip it off then started to attach it on Naruto's left arm. "That idiot," he began rolling the bandage against Naruto, "I only asked him to let you go not THROW you, isn't that stupid?" He asked. Naruto looked all blank in the face then started to nod to his question. "There," he continued, "That should do it for now, your food should be coming right up!" He gave a smirk to Naruto and walked back to the fire with the cottage. Naruto still looked at him blankly. 'I've never had anyone who actually would care for me.'
"It's done!" He announced gladly. "It's my special dinner, pork ramen!" Naruto dived for the bowl of ramen he was holding and started gobbling it all up. The man's eyes popped out abruptly after what Naruto just did. Naruto finished up and gladly, "Ah! That's was delicious! That was probably the best ramen I've ever had." He stared at Naruto curiously and gave him a smile in reply then asked, "Would you like another bowl of ramen?" Instantly, "YES!" Then he poured Naruto another bowl. When Naruto received the bowl he asked, "Hey, mister, what's your name? My name is Naruto." He looked at Naruto and was silent for a moment, then replied, "My name is Ratou." Naruto smiled at him and scoffed the rest up then licked his lips with his tongue.
Ratou started washing the dishes and went back to the cave to put them back in the backpack, then sat next to Naruto by the wall. Naruto looked at him as he sighed and then asked him a question. "So Ratou, why did you rescue me?" Ratou listen but looked down at the muddy ground picking and dropping some, then answered, "Well, just so happens that I caught you during my walk." Naruto looked at him and scowled back with a reply,
"In a tornado…"
"That's the way I travel in."
"I don't believe."
"It's hard to believe, isn't it."
"But why?"
Ratou paused and started down to the ground once then started back at the spiky blonde energetic boy. Then responded, "Let's just say I have my own reasons." He smiled. Naruto scowled at him but then accepted the gratitude he has given and just left it.
"I've never seen you here in Konoha," Naruto muttered, "where did you come from?"
Again Ratou paused again, not very good with questions really. He responded back, "Somewhere were you've never been, Naruto."
"I've been to a lot of places, I go on a lot of mission with my team."
"If you've never seen me before in those places, then I must've not lived in those places."
"Where do you come from?"
"Like I said before, I have my reasons."
"I have to know you better."
"You have."
The two were in silence for a while while the fire dims out slowly, "You better get to bed now, Naruto." Gasped Ratou. He strolled towards the fire and used his water technique to put the fire out. He walked back to Naruto then looked at him. Naruto tuck himself in with the covers. Then Ratou came closer to keep him warm. "Hey, Ratou…,"Ratou looked at Naruto, "thank you." Ratou looked surprised from his answer but gave him a smirk. Naruto drifted deeply asleep, peacefully, like he has never fell asleep before. Ratou tuck him in more then whispered softly to self. "No kid, thank you very much…"
