Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Merc and the Medic. Enjoy the 1500-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.
(Konoha, Sakura and Marmora's home.)
Marmora looked at Sakura while she took care of her wounds, he sighed.
"I was keeping up with Shin for most of the fight. I'm happy about my Taijitsu improving, I've always been better at hand to hand then ninjutsu." He said. Sakura hummed before she looked to the side.
"I know how to take care of people with healing factor. He's fast and strong, I just need one good hit." She said. She smiled at Marmora.
Marmora went to smile before he grunted in pain before the spirt of Kuraokami slowly emerged from his back.
"I didn't expect that to work. Hello, kid," The dragon moved to wrap his body around Marmora. He rested his front hands on Marmora's shoulders and looked at Sakura.
"Kuraokami?" Sakura asked, the dragon god chuckled.
"I finally found a way to contact the kid without massive strain or cutting out." He said, Marmora was able to stand up before the dragon hummed.
"You couldn't have found a way to do that BEFORE I got out of a coma?" Kuraokami shook his head.
"Kid? I could have killed you if I tried to attach to your soul like I did. I'm not Kurama, I wasn't imprisoned inside you… But my life is tied to you at the moment, that is the cost of this permanent mentor position." He said, Marmora turned to Sakura.
"I still need to master the Artic Armor. I'm never going to beat Momoshiki if I don't," Marmora stated. Kuraokami rolled his eyes.
"Kid, you mastered the Jutsu by the time Momoshiki shows up. You need to see the Sanin though, Boro and Kara are pawns in a game of chess. You need to focus on the Otsutsuki clan," He stated with a sigh. Sakura blinked at this, her eyes narrowing.
"You mean like Lady Tsunade?" she asked, the dragon turned to look at her with amusement clearly written on his face.
"I forgot that you were pupil to the Slug Princess. I do indeed mean her and Orochimaru. I know Boro and the rest of Kara do not stop you. Marmora? You and Sakura are destined to clash with the clan, where I do not know. I came to talk with you and your future wife." Kuraokami said, Sakura crossed her arms before the dragon waved his hands.
"I know your clearly and understandably mad that I'm deciding your future, but my visions aren't wrong, Sakura. You and Marmora are married by the time you clash with Kuraokami. Kid, you should be lucky she disobeyed you just to come back and help you. I know for a fact you'd be dead if not for her." Kuraokami stated, smiling at the girl.
Marmora sighed and turned around, crossing his arms with annoyance.
"You know, you're REALLY not good at the whole prophecy thing. We just fought 2 S ranked criminals and your bringing up something that YOU said happens in 2 years." Marmora paced around the room, pursing his lips at his own words.
"Kid, I know. I'm sealed in another location, but I can still see entire parts of the world. I have kept all my attention on Fire Country. I'm getting off track," Kuraokami replied. He turned to Sakura.
"I have more to report. I will save the history of the Aito Clan and such tomorrow. You must both leave for the Land of Snow. Your future lies in the snow and rain of Amegakure, the Land of Snow and Land of Waves. Your meet Lady Tsunade in the Land of Snow. Kid, stop worrying about Kara, they aren't your fight. Shin also isn't a factor by the end of this story." He stated with a face of his hands.
"I think the fact they nearly killed my girlfriend and roommate will disagree with you." Marmora said, Kuraokami hummed.
"Trust me, ignore them. You need to move soon, Momoshiki and his ilk are a lot more dangerous than Kaguya. I do not suppose Sakura needs a reminder of how strong the 'Mother of all Chakra' is. I hate that woman," the dragon turned away before pulling himself back into Marmora's body.
"I'm going to get cozy in your soul. You need me, you say my name. you will get used to the pain, trust me. I still need you both to head to the Land of Snow. You're be able to reach the first of the three landmarks in your growth of power." He stated. He looked at Marmora but said nothing.
"I guess I have to pack. Well, least I get to meet Lady Tsunade." He muttered while he left to get a backpack ready for the trip.
"You're just going to believe him?" Sakura asked. Marmora turned to look at her and shrugged.
"I don't get much direction in my life besides carving my own path. I want to learn about my past and grow strong enough to help people and make up for all the selfish, senseless and horrible missions I did as a kid. Kuraokami says I fight a clan; I meet one of the greatest Shinobi in the world… BESIDES Sasuke and Naruto? I'm jumping on it. I'm going to get packed. We got 2 years till that fight." Marmora said before he walked into his room.
"I'm not saying I like it. He keeps saying we're married, Sakura? I like you, but I know you feel uncomfortable with a giant spirit god deciding our future for us. I guess we're see if he's true." He said.
"I… Ugh, screw it. I guess I'm going to have to tell the staff of the hospital that we're be gone again…" Sakura said, Kuraokami poked his head out enough to rest his head onto Marmora's shoulder.
"You know you can write the staff and Aimi from the Land of Snow, right? You are the director of the hospital. You did train your staff to be fine without you, right?" the dragon asked, Sakura looked at him and he shrugged.
"You guys wait till tonight or in the morning, those dumbasses are watching you and the second your gone, they're just going to go after Naruto and the others anyway." Kuraokami plunged into Marmora's back again after this.
"I'm going to do 2 hours of training and then decide to catch a few hours of sleep." He stated before he opened the door and went outside to train.
Sakura sighed and went to pack up a case for the trip. She put her shoes and a few of her combat and civilian dresses. She walked into backdoors while Kuraokami coached Marmora.
"You think you'd listen to your… Never mind, keep your Charka levels like that… The only way you're going to master your Arctic Armor is with experience." He said before he turned to the dragon god.
"We still also have one single Jutsu to master, maybe 2… Do they really appear in 2 years?" He asked the god. He heard nothing for a few seconds before the god hummed.
"I am not sure, the closer we get to their arrival will reveal more details. My ability to see the future is limited to 3 years at best. Kid, you only need to work on killing Shin. Kara will meet their own demise; I've seen at least some evidence to support that." He stated.
"You guys can talk about the future WITHOUT discussing it inside my…. Our backyard, you know that, right?" Sakura said, crossing her arms, Kuraokami turned from Marmora who was busy practicing his Aqua Salvo attacks.
"I'm saying you both have a battle as important as the ones you faced with the Akatsuki and Kaguya. Momoshiki and his kin know you will be the one to fight them, another ability his powers afford. Kid, when you fight him, you're be fighting with the skill and power Naruto and Sasuke wielded by then. You will be an enemy to their entire clan." He said.
"You know, I'd like to actually know about the rest of the story when we get back to this. We have a lot more to discuss… Let's get to work." He stated before returning to firing off water blasts.
Sakura watched the duo start to train before going to get some sleep, she and Marmora would be traveling sooner or later.
She and Marmora didn't know Shin's end would be in the Land of Snow… Or their relationship would become much closer.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out I'm going to extend this story but rush a few parts. Next chapter is going to be on next Tuesday or so and will show Marmora and Sakura heading to the Land of Snow and growing closer while learning more about the Aito Clan. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
Ps: I am making another MHA story and another Naruto story about Ino, Tsunade, Karin, Shizune, Tayuna, Mei, Kurotsuchi, Yugito, Tayuna or someone.
