"SAKURA-CHAN!" Tsukiya's voice called.
Tsukiya was running towards Sakura along with Ryuki. The short pink haired girl looked at the over-energetic young girl with a smile across her face.
"Hi there, Tsukiya-chan. What do you need right now?" Sakura asked her.
"Umm… I wanted to thank you and everyone for cheering me up the previous days. So… I wanted you to give you this." She announced.
Tsukiya looked at her loyal wolf pet and nodded at him sweetly. Ryuki walks toward to Sakura on his jaw he was carrying a small object that Sakura haven't seen it before. She looked at it closely and saw a beautiful handmade necklace that she had ever seen.
"Was that for me? Thank you for this lovely gift." She said as she took the bracelet.
"Ryuki and I been working so hard making it. It's our way to show how grateful we are." Tsukiya explained.
"It's so beautiful." Sakura commented.
"You want me to teach you making one? I know a bracelet for giving someone you like." Added the young girl. "Like Sasuke-kun for example. You like to give your love to him."
Sakura blushed at the young girl's teasing yet she agrees to do it. Tsukiya smiled at her friend then they continue to walk their way, while they weren't aware that someone was looking at them secretly. A mysterious person was looking at the young girl with mischievous smile or not.
"Tsukiya-chan… you are incredibly cute." He muttered.
Far away from Tsukiya, Sakura and Ryuki, outside of Konoha, Naruto was looking around the trees looking for something that may be out of ordinary. Also he was having training at the same time as many shureiguns were scattered around the ground.
"Why am I getting a bad feeling that something bad will occur?" Naruto thought.
Naruto stood up from his place and thought going back to Konoha and eat his favorite Ramen noodles as he planned everyday. Then he heard something as the crows birds started to crow and flew away from the trees also he heard a loud 'thud' of a tree fell.
"Looks like I have to check out." He whispered
Somewhere in a deep forest far away from the gate of Konoha, five masked ninjas were fighting against one lone lad. The lone lad was somehow in his early or middle teens. He has deep crimson red hair and pair of blank deep crimson red eyes the same color to his hair. He wears nothing special but just a long and heavy hooded cloak that reaches on the ground. His looks was somehow the same as Minamoto Shirou although he doesn't has his right eye covered by his bangs.They're fighting five on one battle, which it's unfair for a group ganging up on the lone lad.
"Give it up kid you don't stand against our techniques." Yelled one of the mysterious masked ninjas.
"We could spare your life unless give us your money." Another one sneered him.
"OVER MY DEAD BODY, BASTARD!" the young teenager yelled at them.
"Need help there, buddy?" asked someone.
All of them gasped at the sudden voice, which just came out of nowhere. They all looked around to find the person then Naruto appeared in the middle standing between the lone lad, as the five masked ninjas were ganging up on him.
"So do you need— Wha? Why are you here, Shirou?" Naruto asked surprisingly to the mysterious lone lad.
"I'm not this Shirou you're talking about, kid." Yelled the young lad. "Also I appreciate your offer but this is my fight. Alone!"
Then Naruto and the mysterious lad charged up and fought their enemies fairly. They both did a good job as partner. Both of them were good kicking their enemies' asses. They fought really hard until they've managed to let their enemies surrendered and left peacefully. After they disappeared they were exhausted from the fight.
"Hey kid… sorry what I said earlier it's just that I thought you're a show off." Said the young lad. "But you've proven me you're a great ninja."
"Well… you're not bad too and from what I see in you, you must be in a higher rank ninja." Naruto told him.
"Sorry to say this but I'm just an ordinary in-training ninja… I don't have higher rank." He corrected him.
The mysterious lad just smirk at Naruto then he suddenly felt a piercing pain that was throbbing on his body. He fell on his knees then Naruto goes to him as he noticed at the lad's pain. Also new bloods were flowing out from the visitor's body.
"Hey you okay there bud? You seem to receives… serious injuries." He said.
"I'm okay with this, Kid. I don't need to see the doctor." The lad told him. "I need to go now so it's nice meeting with you."
The young teenager lad stood up from his spot and starts to walk away from Naruto acting like nothing happen. Then again the piercing pain continues to attack the mysterious lad's body as he fell unto his knees once more.
"You really need to see the doctor, dude. I won't let you leave in this place." The mischief boy exclaimed.
Naruto took the older lad and dragged him back to Konoha. The mysterious older teen was about to tell him that he doesn't need to go although the pain continues to attack him, which made him to shut up. So he had no other choice but to be sent out to the hospital.
"You're one interesting kid." He compliments him.
"Save your compliments some other time. Right now we need to speed up further." Naruto answered.
In the Haruno Residence, Tsukiya was teaching Sakura on the love bracelet or necklace. The short pink haired girl was doing her best making the love necklace as the young girl could see the flames were bursting behind her. Tsukiya turned around to see her loyal wolf pet but then it turns out Ryuki was gone.
"That's strange I wonder where did Ryuki went off to this time?" wondered the young girl curiously.
"Don't worry Tsukiya-chan. If I'm in your place I wouldn't worry about him." Sakura told her. "I bet he has something else to do since he knew you're safe."
"You think so, Sakura-chan?" said Tsukiya with worried tone.
"Ermmm… Yeah that's what I think" stuttered the short pink haired girl. "Please don't worry about Ryuki."
Tsukiya nodded her head then she goes back teaching her friend then she suddenly felt something weird yet painful through her mind. Not just it was painful in her head or her brain but also her heart too as he beats faster and faster as it acts like a panther was running wildly.
"What's wrong, Tsukiya-chan? Do you need to see the doctor?" Sakura asked the young blonde haired girl worriedly.
"Don't worry it's just a minor pain, Sakura-chan. Nothing's serious at all." Replied Tsukiya with a calm smile. "What's the matter with Me? I felt something pierce object stuck on me?"
Sakura stared at her young friend with worried and concern look on her face. Then she took out cold water and a towel and laid Tsukiya on her bed. Also she places the wet towel over her forehead. Tsukiya stared at her friend surprising at her quick reaction, as she was about to say a word that she is fine although the short pink haired girl did not let her speak.
"You shouldn't force yourself like that, Tsukiya-chan." She told her. "If Ryuki was here then I bet he'll be worried sick also advice you to sleep. That's why don't force yourself."
Tsukiya stared surprising at her senior friend yet she gave out a smile. "I guess I can't win this time." She muttered. "Alright I'll take a rest. Let's finish the love necklace tomorrow, okay?"
The short pink haired girl nodded and smiled at her. "Sure." She said.
In the headquarter of Konoha, Tsunade was in her office looking at the results and the information that she and her men have gathered. She was in search of something that she really need to know the answers so badly but none of them has it that she needs.
"Sighs… it looks like I may need to send out another people for this information." Tsunade whispered.
Back to Naruto who was still dragging the mysterious visitor, Naruto had arrived there just in time. He was gasping really tired after he was carrying the older lad. His legs were beginning to turn stiff and turning into jelly but he told himself that he wouldn't give up. The older lad looked at the young mischief boy awing on how strong he is. Then they entered the hospital.
"HEY CAN SOMEONE HELP THIS GY OUT! HE'S BADLY INJURE!" Naruto yelled.
A nurse head heard Naruto's yelling as she went over to the mysterious lad and remove his cloak just to examine at his injuries.
"This is bad! Take him to the operation room! He's being infected serious one." She told Naruto. "I'll call the doctor right away."
"Yes Ma'am." He replied.
The nurse hurriedly went to find the other doctors while Naruto put the mysterious lad in a bed in the operation room where the head nurse instructed him. He looked at the complete stranger and saw he was sweating in pain.
"You should've needed a check up dude." Naruto scolded him. "It's a good thing I've brought you here."
"Well this pain has been within me over a week." The lad confessed. "It wasn't a big deal."
"OVER A WEEK? YOU COULD'VE BEEN KILLED!" the mischief boy yelled at him.
Before the mysterious red haired lad was about to say something back to Naruto but the pain suddenly interrupts him, which causes him to suffers more. Later on the nurse brought the doctor and some nurse more doctors and nurses gathered up on their newly patient then they sent him to the emergency room. Naruto was left behind out of the room. He patiently waited there until it was over.
"How was he, doc?" Naruto asked him.
"The stranger's okay, kid. He managed to get thought all these trials." He told him. "Really this guy managed to fight after he got the serious one."
"REALLY? CAN I SEE HIM?" he asked him again.
"Yes you can but just for a sec. He needs fully rest after all he did fought really hard." He informed him.
Naruto entered the room excitedly. The stranger was topless yet he was covered with newly bandages over his body. His blank read eyes were nearby drifting off to sleep until he saw the young mischief boy to him.
"Hey kid. I'd like to thank you for bringing me here. I guess I should've done this before I continue my journey." He said. "You're a great kid."
"No sweat at all." Naruto grinned. "Also don't address me as 'kid'. I have a name that you should remember. I'm Uzumaki Naruto. You are?"
"The name's Akari Hyde, Naruto." The lad named Hyde replied. "I need a shut eye now to restore my strength like the doctor recommended."
"Sure… I'll visit you." Naruto suggested.
"Do whatever you like." Hyde smirked as he shuts his eyes. "See you."
"You're also interesting guy too, Hyde." Muttered the mischief boy.
The young mischief ninja left the room silently giving the new stranger some rest. As Naruto had left the hospital, Hyde opened his eyes with serious expression on his face.
"It looks like I'm going to stay here for awhile." Hyde muttered.
"See that kid over there? Isn't he cute?" giggled a nurse.
"He must be a brave young ninja from across a country." Another one commented. "I wonder if he ever has a girlfriend?"
Hyde could hear few giggles outside of the operating room then more comments of nurses. His face suddenly darkens out and went into pale as he was feeling sick or irritated something.
"That's why I hate coming here." He muttered.

Kairi: Looks like another made up character of mine appeared in this chapter. Of course more interesting couples shall be mention. As you could see Akari Hyde was another mysterious character I've ever think of. Yes people three OCs in this story with the Naruto characters. The pronunciation of Hyde's first name comes like this "Hi-de" not "Hai-dee". I liked that pronunciation best. See you on the next chapter.
