Uzumaki Naruto brushed back his blond hair as he walked around. "I guess I should be heading home…" he sighed. He walked through the streets, Vendor's closed and pushed aside, window's closed and doors locked. The Hokage didn't order them to stay locked up for Re-decorating that's for sure. But one store was open… 'Yamanka Flower Shop'. Naruto smiled slightly, sweat rolling down his face. His blue shirt might as well have been black he was so hot. He pressed his hands on for-now--cool metal of the doorframe. When he opened it a small bell rang. He could see the blond hair of a 13-year-old girl jutting out from behind a flowerpot, she of course paying no mind the bell.
"Ino?" Naruto asked walking around the shelf. The girl's eyes darted up; she almost pulled out a kunai. "What?" She asked staring at him.
"Nothing! Why are you guy's the only place open?" Naruto asked.
"We're not, didn't you read the sign?" Ino asked, rolling her eyes.
"Oh, well guess what?" Naruto asked leaning close to her.
"What?"
"I'm on a mission to protect some old guys!" Naruto beamed, sticking out his tongue. Like she would really care?
"I don't care!" She yelled swinging at him, Naruto stepped back, barley avoiding the blonde's attack.
--------Nara Household-----------------------------------------
"Shikamaru dear!" The voice of a middle-aged woman called up through the staircase.
"What?" He asked, lying down on his bed, flipping through a magazine, his cat purring against him.
"can you run to the flower shop? I need some of their special water?" His mom yelled back.
"What ever…" Shikamaru sighed, climbing off of is bed. He opened his window and leapt down onto the fire escape. He walked down it as slow as he could.
"the only flower shop is the…Yamanaka…." He sighed, thinking of how long it had been since he had been with Ino.
------Yamanaka Flower Shop-----------------------------------
Ino unsheathed her kunai and swung at Naruto again.
"Leave!" She yelled. Naruto laughed and twirled right around her, He grabbed her arm and forced it behind her. Ino growled, a slight blush on her face.
"You Dumb ass!" She hissed. Naruto forced the kunai inches from her spine, until he lost his balance the kunai digging into her shirt, although it didn't cut her…
"M-My BRA!" She yelled throwing the kunai down. Naruto laughed harder now "Come on!"
"You PERVERT! (now if it where Sasuke..)" She hissed.
"Am I interrupting something?" A lazy voice asked the two blondes. "Yeah Ino just took her Bar off for ya'" Naruto laughed.
Shikamaru's face turned bright red. "R-Right" he nodded picking up a jug of the water. "I'll leave the money here" He sighed. He then walked out, the little bell ringing again.
"You….little….." Amidst a storm of cussing and kunai Naruto escaped the store with out a scratch, the door slamming shut behind him. "What a weirdo…" He sighed, walking towards his apartment complex.
-----------Training Grounds-----Memorial Stone----------
Anko shook her head in disgust as the medical ninja took the bodies away. "they will be missed" She sighed. She looked around to see a footprint by the stone.
"This is the exact same kind of sandal HE wears…only found in the Sound Village…" She sighed. She swore under her breath. It was confirmed. Orochimaru was back.
-------------Hyuuga Estate-------------------------------------
Hinata exhaled as she climbed into the warm bath prepared for her by one of the maids. Neji was with Lee and TenTen somewhere and she was the only aspiring-Chunin-to-be on the grounds. She tilted her head back, enjoying the warmth
"I can't wait for the ceremony…" She sighed, blushing slightly and her fantasy….
"Hinata you look beautiful in that Kimono…" Naruto smiled as he leaned over and kissed her passionately, his arms wrapping around her waist…..
……"Lady Hinata?" A voice came in through the door. "May I come in?" She asked.
"y-yes" She smiled. The woman entered the room and lied the cloths down on the small table, She bowed and then left.
"Naruto-kun…" She sighed, going back to her fantasy…
-------Naruto Uzumaki's apartment room #47----------------
Naruto slumped against the wall, only a towel covering him. It was slowly turning dark outside, then he heard it: clank clank clank clank. "rain?" Naruto yelled running to his window. He climbed out of his window onto the balcony. The towel soaking wet. Finally some rain is here! The village hadn't had rain in god knows how long. Naruto looked out across the village, then he heard the clashing of metal. The rain streaming down his face he looked at the village center…A man with long black hair fighting 4 others…
"damn!" Naruto whispered. He went back inside to change, Black T-shirt and orange pants, He adjusted his forehead protector and leapt out of his apartment.
-------Village Center-----------------------------------
the katana dug through one man's chest but then appeared to be stuck in a log. Orochimaru spun around, "A substitution?" He laughed, spinning around, socking the man in the jaw. He spun around into a booth. Rain soaking them all. Orochimaru brushed his soaking wet hair back. He twirled his katana around, another Jounin running at him. This one had shuriken in between his fingers, he threw them with as much force as he could before Orochimaru grabbed one, and he did a 360-degree spin and launched it back at him. It dug into the man's neck, throwing him to the ground. The other two where already dead leaving the one unconscious
Naruto slowly walked out from behind a broken vendor, a Jounin dug face first into it, He reached for a kunai, his blue sandals where brown from the mud he stepped in. He peeked around to see The black haired man walking north, towards…The Hokage's office? Naruto stood up. "hey you!" he yelled. He blew his cover but this guy was no good. The man turned around, His face pale white with eyes like…like a Snake… "OROCHIMARU!" He screamed.
