Naruto and the Three Year Trip

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Author's Note: Due to the fact of many requests for a story form of Ramen Boy and his Ramen Girl, I have decided to do just that. The thing is, that I don't really like being bothered now that I'm back in school with daily essays and homework, (I'm Sophomore in High School p) I won't update as easily as I use too. Also, this will by my first time with massive chapters with more than one word so don't expect me to be good or happy about it.
Summary: Naruto and the Three Year Trip is based on the 3 year trip he went on after the failed mission with the Sasuke Retrieval Mission. Mostly Naruto Centric with some other Point of views. There will be a Multi Naruto Pairing in which all the pairings will be the rare kind.
The Pairings:
Naruto x Ayame (The Main Pairing)
Naruto x Kin (Lets just say she survived...)
Naruto x Hanabi (Only a bit of it... I have strange pairing choices p)
More Soon...
The Pairings that will NOT be included:
Naruto x Hinata (Overused so much that I throw up a lot.)
Naruto x Sasuke (Not a Yaoi Fan probably because I'm a guy P)
And everything else.
Another Note: Please do not cry, whine, flame or mess with me in any way just because I won't do the overused Naruto Hinata Pairing in which I have to say, I really dislike.
Chapter 1- Goodbye
Goodbye (gŏŏd´bī´), interj., n., pl. -byes. --interj. 1. (a conventional expression used at a parting.) --n. 2. an act of saying good-bye; farewell. 1565-75; contr. of God be with ye
"Naruto. Were going on a three year trip. The Akatsuki is after you and you have to prepare yourself. You have thirty minutes to pack your bags. Common, lets go."
"But, I won't have time to say goodbye! Give me at least a few hour!"
"Naruto... The longer you stay, the harder it will take for you to say goodbye. Thirty minutes Naruto..."
"Ero-Sannin! Please."
"Sorry Naruto. My decision is final. Meet me at the East Gate."
I walked out the gate, I turned my head. I saw Konoha. I knew I should be happy. Happy that I won't see those glares, rocks, beatings for three whole years. Yet, I couldn't. I didn't have the chance to say goodbye.
I stared at the ground, shedding a silent tear. I wouldn't see the people important for me for a long time. Iruka-sensei, Kakashi, Tsunade-baba, Shizune, Sakura-chan, Thick Brows, Shikamaru, Chouji, Neji, Kiba, Akamaru, the old man that works at Ichiraku Ramen Stand, (name slipped my mind) and...
I halted my thinking. Landing on the person I would miss the most. I remember her kind eyes, her beautiful dark hair, her rosy lips.
I quickly hid my blush. I looked up at the sky, watching the birds fly around, free. I remember her name. Ayame, which means iris, a beautiful flower, a beautiful name, a beautiful young woman.
Damn it! I'm blushing again. Thank god Jiraiya is in front of me and cannot see me.
Ayame to me, is someone I can love. Someone mature. Someone I can live the rest of my life happily with. Someone who sees through my mask.
I stare in the sky and see night is coming. We've been walking for about five hours. We stop and make camp.
Jiraiya, Ero-sannin, the Super Pervert, sat down and told me to gather wood and food.
Stupid Ero-sannin, stupidly writing his stupid novel stupidly. If he wasn't so stupidly powerful, I would have a long time Thousand Years of Pained his stupid ass.
I walked and picked up firewood. I picked a bundle and made a Kage Bunshin having him carry the fire wood back. I went to the river and made more bunshins having them help me catch some fish.
When I got back to camp, Jiraiya snatched the fish and began cooking them on the fire he lit up. I saw he was still writing that perverted book of his.
After the dinner, Jiraiya went to his tent to sleep while I laid back on my pillow staring at the stars. I took out a photo album I had. Taking out a photo, I stared at it.
The photo was a picture of me and Ayame. She was twelve while I was eight. She had her arms around my neck smiling while I used my overused Foxy Grin™. I remember this memory...
"Naruto I have an idea." Ayame said. "Since your attending the Ninja Academy, lets take some pictures."
"Why?" I said.
"Well when you go on a mission, our pictures will help us not miss each other as much."
"Well thats a good idea! Lets take some pictures Ayame!"
"Let me go find a camera!" she giggled and went off to find a camera.
We had taken a lot of pictures together. We would take pictures together courtesy of her dad and we make doubles. I put the picture back and took out another one.
We took this one recently. She was in a pink skirt with matching shirt sitting with her arm linked with mine while I was in a black t-shirt with dark shorts.
I can still remember it well. It was a few days after the completion of the Wave Country Mission. It sort of a date.
"Ayame, I was wondering. Would you like to get something to eat for lunch?" I asked.
"Of course Naruto. I think I wont be busy so I will go with you." she said smiling.
I felt my face turn red as I smiled back.
"Okay. Lets meet here at noon." and I ran off to train.
An hour prior to the 'date' I went home and took a shower. I cleaned myself a couple of times to make sure I got rid of the smell.
I grinned and put on a black t-shirt and black shorts. I took my headband and put it on my neck letting my hair droop.
I walked out the door and saw the clock read 11:55. Shit, I was going to be late. I ran out the door locking it on my way out.
When I got to Ichiraku, I saw her sitting on a stool waiting with her blue hair down. She had a pink shirt and matching skirt with black boots. To me, my hormones were going wild.
I walked up to her and smiled. She saw me and gave me a quick hug.
"Your late," she said giggling.
"Uh sorry I was late. I got lost on the road of life," I said as I grinned inwardly.
Reading in his room, a few blocks away, Hatake Kakashi sneezed.
"Stupid," she grinned and took out a camera. I sat on the stool next to her and she linked her arms with mine. Her father was happy to take the pictures.
We took a few and we went to a cafe. She ordered a regular salad and an iced tea while I ordered a glass of water and a bowl of chicken and rice.
Typing on his computer, the writer sneezed.
We talked for a while. Me about my mission in Wave Country and her about her future plans.
I was surprised when she said she wanted to settle down with any guy with a nice attitude. I thought she would've said she wanted to settle with a guy with good looks like Sasuke.
As I known her for a long time, she was mature. Then I looked out the window, I saw Hinata staring in my direction with her Byakugan. Strange, wonder what she's looking at.
I turned my attention back at Ayame who was giggling as we talked.
After our lunch, we went to the park and sat under a tree in the shade. She sat down with me and smiled.
"You know, you seem a little pudgy," I joked. As I have never known before, never, ever, in your whole life, insult a woman.
She playfully slapped me and sat on my lap thinking she would crush me. I felt her soft slender legs against mine and I reddened. She stayed on me for a while tickling me, and she got off. Man, I was starting to like it.
I slept under the tree with her next to me until I found out her lunch break was over.
"Ayame," I whispered in her ear. "I have something very important to tell you."
I saw her blush as she looked in my eyes.
"Tell me," she said.
I leaned in her ear, held her hands and whispered, "Your lunch break is over."
Her eyes widened and gave me a quick playful punch before we returned to Ichiraku's Ramen Stand.
"You know Naruto, I would love to go out with you again," she said as she winked at me and left .
I smiled at the memory as I continued to stare longer. I continued to stare until the photo was snatched out my hands.
"Ooh who's this pretty girl Naruto?" my Super Perverted teacher teased me. "I bet she has really big breasts. Don't she. Have you felt them yet? Have you gotten under her pa-"
And the Ero-Sannin was cut short as a kunai with and explosion tag was shoved up his butt as he was launched in the air. When the flying pervert was near the top of the launch, the explosion tag activated and blasted him higher.
The pervert landed in his tent while the picture fell and landed gracefully in Naruto's outstretched hand.
I place the photo back in and took out another one after the Kyuubi-Graduation incident. Ayame had her lips on mine even though it was for a brief moment. Iruka was crying. It was also the night of his first kiss...
Oh no! Another flashback to fodder for a first chapter with bigger than suppose to be first chapter.
Iruka stared dumbfounded. Ayame smiled. Ayame's dad stared dumbstruck. Uzumaki Naruto, the vessel of the great Kyuubi, the dead last of his year, the boy who failed the Genin exam three times, was on his 35th bowl of ramen.
Iruka started to cry. Ayame started to refill his bowls. Ayame's dad took out a camera. And Naruto continued to eat.
After his 62nd bowl, a new record, I stretched out, satisfied. Ayame sat next to me and smiled. I smiled back.
"Hey Naruto, think fast," Ayame said.
I turned quickly and I received a pair of soft lips on mine for a moment. I felt a tongue graze through my lips. I saw a flash and as soon as the kiss started, it ended. I stared at her. She giggled and hugged me. I felt red on my cheeks as her dad started taking pictures again. I smiled.
The night, of my first, real kiss.
I put the pictures away and I pulled the covers. I looked up at the night sky. The moon was only a half moon tonight. I saw that it wasn't very bright.
As I lay down on my so called bed, I regret the only thing that mattered to me.
Ayame, I'm sorry, I couldn't say goodbye. But only for now,
Goodbye...
Now add in the Gai and Lee™ special effects for point of view changing. Time period is the same as when Naruto started to walk away.
It was the end of my shift. Dad let me out early so I can visit Naruto. I was in a black skirt with a white shirt. I ran home and changed before visiting my little hero. I walk to the hospital with some miso ramen in Tupperware. His favorite.
It saddens me when I know he was so shunned. He only lets me see through his mask of happiness. There are times when he is happy and I am glad I can be there to support him.
When I walked into the hospital, I went directly to the front desk. A dark haired woman by the name of Shizune was drinking a cup of coffee.
"Hi, may I ask what room Uzumaki Naruto is in?" I asked with a small smile.
She looked at me a bit surprised and studied me for a while. I felt a little nerved as she looked me up and down. She saw the Tupperware I had in my hands.
"What's in the box?" she asked me politely. Guess she wants to make sure I won't hurt Naruto.
"Just his favorite Ichiraku's Miso Ramen," I said proudly.
She gave me a smile then as if she remembered something, she frowned.
"I'm sorry. But your an hour late. He was released an hour ago and he has already left the village on a three year trip. Sorry." Shizune said sadly.
I felt like my whole world was crashing down. I saddened as I walked home. I threw the Tupperware in the garbage can and ran home, a few tears threatening my eyes.
When I got home, I went straight to my room. I plopped myself on the bed and stared at the ceiling then at the clock. It has been two hours since he has left. I went and took a shower.
Part skipped as I would most likely get slaughtered for writing about a girl stripping down naked and taking a shower.
I got out put on my pajamas. I didn't feel like eating today. I pulled out the photo album of us. It contained pictures of mostly us anyways.
I sadly flipped the page to a picture. I smiled sadly. It was a picture of myself and Naruto. Naruto was nine and I was thirteen. That rhymed, I chimed. Anyways, I remembered it.
I was walking home, and suddenly a couple of chuunin walked in front of me. I accidently bumped into one of them.
I quickly apologized and went on my way when one of them pulled me back. Their grip was tight.
"Why don't you come with us, babe?" the sleazy and obviously the leader said. I struggled.
"No, let me go." I said hoping they would just let me go.
One of them put their hands up my leg and started feeling on me. I tried to scream but the other one put their hand on my mouth.
I thought I was gonna be raped when I heard a klunk followed by a thump.
I opened my eyes and widened. Naruto stood there with a trash can lid. I tried to smile at my rescuer but decided to not test my luck.
"Well if it isn't the little demon," the shorter one said. "He just got lucky on Makeinu. Common lets kick his ass."
I wanted to scream. I couldn't find my voice. I slumped on the ground and screamed for help. Shortly, the Anbu came and took care of the chuunins and got them for civilian assault.
I looked at Naruto and saw he was a bloody mess. I crawled over to him and got one of the Anbu to help carried him to the hospital.
I was sent to the Nin Abuse Center. I was to fill out a report of what happened.
By the time I got out, it was late. I went to the hospital.
I went in, I asked the front desk where the room for Naruto was.
"Hi, do you know where the room for Uzumaki Naruto is?" I asked.
The nurse at the front desk gave me a dark look. She stared at me like I was crazy.
"The fourth level room 407. He is currently recovering. You have thirty minutes until visiting hours are over." she said a bit bitterly.
I had thirty minutes. I went to the elevator and got on. I pressed the blue 4 and waited.
As I waited, I wondered why Naruto bothered to help me. He's actually a nice guy once you get to know him.
I got off and went straight to room 407. It was empty except for Naruto who was hooked up to an IV.
I sat down on the chair next to him. I looked at him.
He was peaceful, quiet. He was my hero, my Naruto, and I thank him for that.
He woke up and saw me. He struggled to find his words.
"I'm alright, Naruto." I said. I ruffled his hair a bit and he gave me a pout.
"Wh.. when will I get out?" he asked softly.
I went to the front of his bed and looked at the chart. I gave a smile.
"You will only need to stay overnight, Naruto." I chimed. "Thank you, for saving me. I wouldn't have known what would have happened if you weren't there."
He smiled again. "No problem Ayame. I do anything for my important people."
And with that, he drifted back to sleep. I soon fell asleep and stayed overnight.
I got out of my memory and closed the page. I stripped into my night shirt and got under my covers. I looked out at the stars.
Naruto, good luck where ever you are. Naruto. For now,
Goodbye
End Chapter Here
Author's Note: Like always, you are welcomed to drop by with constructive criticism or any compliments. I would also like it, if no one would bother me about the pairings. This is just my way, of talking about Ayame and Naruto's relationship. To be continued.
