Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Merc and the Medic. Enjoy the 1200-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.
(Land of Snow.)
Marmora knocked a thug halfway across the room with a punch before seeing Tsunade floor 3 men effortlessly with a kick.
"So…. Awesome." He said before he was punched in the stomach.
"Keep fighting for now, fanboy over the Sanin later, kid." Kuraokami snarked.
Sakura punched one of the men which threw him into a table as Sasuke roundhouse kicked another through a window.
"Back off… Ugh, these guys aren't worth it." They heard before the retreating thugs booked it out the door.
"Ugh, that was ridiculous. They didn't even try it…" Marmora muttered. Kuraokami climbed out of his back and turned to the Sanin.
"Ok, you can fanboy now, kid… Lady Tsunade, we need to talk. Marmora needs training." He said, Marmora looked at him with annoyance.
"Thanks, you overgrown gecko," Marmora stated. He looked around the casino and sighed.
"I'm not paying for this." He muttered before Sakura and Sasuke walked over.
"Sakura, what are you doing here anyway?" Tsunade asked, Sakura pointed to Marmora.
"I'm helping him with his past… Also, he's an idiot at times," Sakura said. Marmora looked at his girlfriend/partner with annoyance.
"Do I get an entire day of being pushed around? I get being a skilled assassin and mercenary doesn't mean much… Kuraokami, can you finally tell me what the hell my clan has to do with the Land of Snow besides one being born here and my dad dying?" He said, his fists shook shortly before he unclenched them.
"Kid, if I told you the entire damn story at once? A. you'd demand to go fight the Otsutsuki before you stand a chance. B. it would take a massively ridiculous amount of time… and C. I refuse to tell it if Lady Aito isn't in the room." He said, glaring at Sakura for the last part.
"Marmora was part of a clan?" Sasuke asked, Kuraokami hummed.
"We will talk when we are safe, Shin will and is coming. I am aware he will die out here, interestingly… But we cannot stay here." the god dragon said.
(5 minutes later)
Marmora opened the door and the smell of Sake cut through the air. He and Sakura walked inside while Sasuke walked Tsunade inside.
"I have smelt things before, but not like this. Ok, I'm going to go learn those new moves. You guys have fun for 4 hours." He stated, Sakura grabbed her boyfriend's shoulder and twirled him around.
"Like I said… You are an idiot at times," She said. Marmora rolled his eyes and chuckled at her. she saw his lips curl into a smile.
"Funny how we're dating yet, I not only bought a plant. I paid off the house mostly… And I got a job which I am glad my boss isn't expecting me for the moment is paying me for." Marmora said, Tsunade looked at the couple while Sakura rolled her eyes.
"Baka." The Jonin medic muttered before Marmora pulled his mask up.
"Kura. You going to speak?" Marmora asked. they watched the giant dragon pulled himself out of Marmora's back.
"Yes, kid. I was going to talk about how you and Lady Aito along with the Hokage and Uchiha there." He said, Sakura looked to the side.
"You going to keep referring to me as 'Lady Aito?'" Sakura asked, somewhat annoyed and somewhat flustered at the bluntness of the statement.
"You are married to Marmora in the future, my visions do not lie. I'm sorry, but I am going to be blunt. The Aito clan helped me when they didn't have to, they died out forgotten unlike many clans. My loyalty is to the Aito Clan and I will not let their last seed wither and die. You are the Matriarch of the clan, who do you think keeps Marmora in line when I can't?" Kuraokami looked at a cross armed Marmora.
"You going to keep making me feel like crap?" He said, Kuraokami shrugged.
"Kid, you and her snark at each other all the time. I know you two get married. I have a vision of you telling me how much you like the fact that Sakura is strong willed enough not to need someone. I also know how you love that she can break a person in half with her bare hands." He said, Tsunade raised an eyebrow.
"Thanks, why don't you just spit out all our… Ugh, you said we'd get more history on the Aito Clan. Tsunade is right there." He said before turning to the woman.
"By the way? Big honor, Lady Tsunade. I've been meeting legendary Shinobi ever since I came to Konoha… Few I wish I could meet that sadly aren't here anymore." Sakura rolled her eyes before Kuraokami sighed.
"He's a fan of all the shinobi like you guys. Anyway… I'll tell the rest of the story while you guys are asleep. Marmora? Your clan knew the location of this world's god tree, the Otsutsuki want that fruit, it will make them gods like they so claim. They don't know where the information they got was false, the only other spot for that information is buried on the field where the Aito clan was slaughtered. You are the only one who can open the scroll, for you are the last remaining seed of the Aito Clan, their last remaining gift to the world when they were butchered. Kid, you need that scroll before someone else finds its. Tsunade can help you master the rest of the training Sakura started." He said, Tsunade raised her eyebrow higher.
"What makes you think I'll teach him?" Kuraokami chuckled and hummed before resting his hands-on Marmora's shoulders.
"Because your Sakura's sensei and I believe in your abilities, the kid is going to fight someone who has the power to kill countless people. You are one of the most powerful Kunoichi in the world. I wouldn't direct the kid to you just because he has meeting you on his bucket list, you trained Sakura to be capable of helping take down Kaguya. I know you can help; the only reason I'm asking you is because we sadly can't go to the other Sanin." Marmora walked across the room while tapping on the wall with amusement.
"You know, pointing out I have a duty after growing up as a regular merc. Kuraokami? You sure love to drop bombs on us, we have to take things slowly." He said, Kuraokami hummed.
"We don't have the time to wait. We need the scroll, now to train and talk. I still have a lot to say…. I feel like I'm going to be saying that a lot more then I usually do." the god dragon stated before Marmora shook his head.
Author Notes
