ACGOMN: Yep, the next chapter is out. Oh, by the way I know in chapter 312 of Naruto II just introduced the container of Nibi and I already planned this one before this chapter came out, so it's not the girl from the manga, if I had known I would have used the real container of Nibi.
Don't own Naruto, so don't even sue me.
Chapter 7
Nibi no Nekomata...Uh, Iwa
Naruto and Jiraiya looked ridiculous in their disguises. You are probably wondering why they are wearing them. During the Great Shinobi, Iwa and Konoha were enemies. Still to this day they are not too happy with one another. Naruto looks like the Yondaime AKA Yellow Flash, and people in Iwa hate him, and Jiraiya is well known as being a Sennin and through Icha Icha Paradise. Naruto grumbled about this being stupid, which it only to get into the country.
"Naruto when we get to Suna in a few months, you get a haircut," said Jiraiya.
"Why?"
"'Cause you starting to have the same hairstyle as the Yondaime,"
"Really! Then why do I have to cut it? Won't it look cool,"
"Baka, Yondaime has many enemies. Do you want to be mistaken for him and get attempted assassinations on you?"
"Oh,"
When they finally got into the village, they were stared at funny. Whispers all around. But obviously they did look funny. Naruto with brown hair on and Jiraiya with a whole different look and was funny looking, even though they used henge as their primary source.
"Hey, Miki-chan! Look at those weird people," said a big boned guy. The girl named Miki had really long dark pink hair and golden eyes. She wore baggy jeans and black T-shirt, with no shoes seen. On her right was the twin of the big guy who spoke, who was equally as big.
"Miki says be nice to the people, S," she said. The one on the right was called U and the one on the left was called S.
"Yes, Miki-chan," said S.
"Miki wishes for S and U to go home so their mother won't get mad at them for being late again for walking Miki home," she said. The two big boys left her in a huff, going home to their mother. Naruto stared at the girl and how she spoke. So, odd.
"Miki wants to know why strange looking boy is staring at her," she said, very close to her face.
"AHH, don't go that close to my face," yelled Naruto. Jiraiya hit him in the head.
"Behave and be nice to the young lady,"
"Miki is sorry strange boy,"
"Ah, don't worry about it,"
"Miki wants to know if strange boy and his sensei have a place to stay,"
"We were going to get a hotel room,"
"Miki says no need for that. Strange boy and his sensei will come and stay with Miki as an apology," she said. Jiraiya and Naruto looked at each other then at Miki. Jiraiya shrugged.
"It would be better then a hotel room,"
"Good, it is settled then, come with Miki," she said, as she dragged them towards her apartment. Naruto and Jiraiya sweat dropped. Naruto decided to make small talk with the girl.
"Uh, so those were your teammates before?"
"Yes,"
"What rank are you?"
"Miki is a Chuunin," she said, not too happy.
"What's wrong with being a chuunin?"
"Miki doesn't want to be a ninja,"
"Then why are you one?"
"Cause Miki has to,"
"You don't have to do anything you don't want to Miki," commented Jiraiya. Miki stopped walking and stared at the ground.
"But, then people would just hate me again if Miki stopped protecting them,"
"You shouldn't care what they think Miki. What do you really want to do," asked Naruto.
"Miki wants to be normal. Miki wants to be like the other girls, who dream of getting married one day and being a housewife,"
"Why would you want to do that? That's boring compared to being a ninja," said Naruto, which got him another whack in the head by Jiraiya.
"Miki doesn't like blood, fighting or war,"
"Oh well that makes sense," said Jiraiya. Soon, they arrived at Miki's nice sized apartment. It was not too girly or anything, just plain. Miki gave them the other room and went to the kitchen to make dinner.
"Ero-sannin, I think she contains Nekomata,"
"What makes you say that?"
"Just a feeling,"
"Good, because I think so too. Here is the next piece to the journal," said Jiraiya, handing it to Naruto this time, instead of throwing it.
'NIBI NO NEKOMATA
Nibi no Nekomata is the two tail cat demon. Nekomata is the only female of the Bijuu and is the mate of Ichibi no Shukaku. Nekomata has the power over wind. She can hold a grudge against anyone, which she has still not forgiven Isonade for something that only the other demons know. She can also do necromancy and shamanism, as in the normal Neko myths and is a shapeshifter like Kitsunes, and Tanuki.
Jiraiya'
Naruto and Jiraiya thought it would be safe to get out of the disguises. When all normal, or as normal as they can get, they went into the living room. Jiraiya smelt something delicious and Naruto followed the scent to the kitchen. Miki was preparing food like a master chef. The food already made looked and smelled good.
"Oh so the strange people got out of their disguises," commented Miki, not even looking at them.
"So, you sense that we were using henge," commented Jiraiya.
"Yes, no one else did though,"
"More skilled than most I see, the of course Iwa ninja weren't known for their brains," sighed Jiraiya. Miki giggled at that. Naruto looked at all the food while Jiraiya and Miki were talking, drooling.
"Well, Miki guesses it's dinner time," she said. Naruto jumped for joy and they all sat at the table and enjoyed dinner.
"That was best food I ever tasted," exclaimed Naruto. Jiraiya nodded his head in agreement. Miki blushed at the compliments, as if has never received any before.
"Uh, Naruto-san? Miki wonders if the hair in his face bothered him," she asked.
"A little why?"
"He needs a haircut or he'll be recognized by some people as the Yellow Flash," said Jiraiya standing up and stretching.
"Yellow Flash? Does Sennin Jiraiya-sama mean the Yondaime Hokage-sama,"
"Yep,"
"Miki does see a resemblance between Naruto-san and Yondaime-sama,"said Miki, thoughtfully, "So, that's is why Naruto-san and Jiraiya-sama wore disguises?"
"Yeah, didn't need to be chased after like in Kumo," sighed Jiraiya, "well, kids I'm off to bed." He left the kids to clean up and talk.
"Naruto-san may Miki give you a haircut," she asked, timidly.
"Really you would," said Naruto, surprised. So, after they cleaned up Miki set a up a chair and hair cutting equipment up.
"Naruto-san don't worry Miki has cut her teammates hair and others hair before,"
"I trust you,"
"Good," said Miki, as she got to work. Snip. Snip, was the sound that echoed through the kitchen. After ten minutes, Miki finished and wiped all the hair that fell on Naruto to the floor. Miki sweep the hair from the floor up. Naruto look in the hand held mirror.
"Hey, Miki you did a great job. Thanks," exclaimed Naruto
"Miki is pleased,"
"You know Miki you make someone a good wife someday," said Naruto, patting her on the head. Miki blushed at the praise.
"Yes I hoped I would, but I don't think anyone in Iwa will marry me,"
"Why? What about one of your teammates,"
"Miki doesn't like either one like that. People call Miki a demon,"
"I know how you feel, people in Konoha called me that too, but I still dream of being Hokage. So If you dream of being a normal housewife, then don't' give up on that,"
"Miki knows. That's what the voice in Miki's head says,"
"Who Nekomata?"
"How did Naruto-san know that? Does he contain Kyuubi?"
"Ah, good guess,"
"Nekomata-san says to tell Kyuubi-san something. Getting your ass kicked lately Kyuubi," said Miki, with Nekomata taking over for a moment.
"Kyuubi just growled," replied Naruto.
"Miki thinks that all the Bijuu are still really close,"
"Yeah, they are probably, even though they haven't spoken to each other in years," said Naruto. Miki giggled.
"Well, Miki is off to bed. Good night Naruto-san," said Miki leaving the kitchen. Naruto bid her good night and went off to bed as well.
A while passed, about a month plus, in Iwa. Naruto learned interesting facts about Iwa ninja and some interesting techniques from Miki. Miki cooked for them every night and even tried to teach Naruto some recipes, which blew up quite literally. Now, the two travelers were in their disguises once again at the gate with Miki seeing them off.
"Miki wishes you luck on you journey. Miki and Naruto-san will see each other soon, okay," said Miki.
"Miki remember what I told you about okay? I'll see you around," said Naruto, patting her on the shoulder. Miki smiled brightly and waved them off.
"Later Miki-chan," said Jiraiya. Naruto stepped on his foot.
"Let's go!"
"Okay, Okay you brat," said Jiraiya. Now they were well away from Iwa and drop their disguises.
"Where are we going?"
"Suna," answered Jiraiya.
"Really, I get to go see Gaara and his siblings. Hey Ero-sennin where are we going after that?"
"You'll find out soon enough,"
"Aw, come one tell me,"
"OH shut up,"
