Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Merc and the Medic. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.
(Land of Snow.)
Kuraokami turned to Sakura and Marmora before speaking.
"Marmora? That scroll is the key to Momoshiki and his clan becoming gods… Your parents ALWAYS knew they might die in battle. They left scrolls scattered around where the Aito Clan had lived and their history. I know where those scrolls are… But only your blood can open them." He stated. Marmora let Sakura sit next to him before Sakura spoke up.
"Why are you so cryptic then when Marmora is supposed to fight them?" Kuraokami hummed.
"Because my visions don't tell me everything. I know Marmora fights Momoshiki, Kinshiki and Urashiki and their army alongside team Seven and I believe the Kage… But I don't know if you win or not. I'm a god, Sakura… But my powers still have limits, recent visions have hinted Marmora might fight the Otsutsuki clan before 2 years… Sakura? The Otsutsuki and Aito might not have known each other for long? But the few years they have means there's still a lot of unresolved history… All of it ends with war and violence. I'm going to think on what to do now. Kinshiki on Earth changes everything, he's one of the toughest and most skilled warriors of the clan. He helped Momoshiki fight your parents…" Kuraokami stated before he vanished.
Marmora grunted before rubbing at his temples.
"Every single time he has to drop another bomb, I question my life. I'm a merc, not some super legendary hero like Naruto or Tsunade or them…" He muttered Sakura put a hand on his back and gently began to rub at his back.
He turned to his girlfriend with confusion.
"You're not alone. Kaguya threatened the entire planet and if these guys are related to her? I'm going to help you… We can handle the 'Lady Aito' thing little by little." Sakura continued to heal him up before she got up.
"You know our relationship is without a doubt the biggest and most astounding thing out of all this to me? I'm a reckless, snarky, headstrong mercenary and you're a Jonin, the student of one of the most powerful and skilled Shinobi on Earth… Yet I'm the guy you like?" Marmora asked while Sakura looked the fridge before sighing.
She went outside and then came back with packaged ice which she walked over to Marmora.
"Yes, you're an idiot, but your brave. Your reckless, but your kind and you take your training seriously… I'm allowed to love who I want, my first crush turned out to be with a war criminal who stomped on my heart, committed enough war crimes to be nearly condemned to die… Marmora? I like you because you're willing to keep me from being too serious all the time. I also happen to believe in the fact that your important." She continued to ice his eye while checking for any other wounds with her calloused fingers.
"Momoshiki is after you and that's enough of a reason to want to stop him… if Kuraokami said I'm your wife in the future? I can at the very least see the possibility of it… He's right, someone has to keep you in line and it's probably going to be me, it's been me since we've met and there's no reason to believe I'm sadly going to be the one who has to keep doing it." Sakura said before she handed the ice to Marmora.
"And there is the sarcasm I enjoy from you. You enjoy acting proper, but if you have to smash someone, you break their spines… Sakura, you don't have to spend anytime acting like a proper lady. You're a damn ninja. You know that and you can kick my ass and then keep doing no matter what happens… I love you but you try WAY too hard to act prim and proper. You're a Kunoichi and unless you want to bring up Temari, Hinata, Ino and such? You and I know how well you kick ass." Marmora held his hand and began to cool the swelling with his own Charka.
"That doesn't…" Sakura started to say with amusement. Before Marmora chuckled.
"You helped fight someone who seems stronger than you and Lady Tsunade, you're a badass. I hate that you try to downplay it every time just for modesty. You've kicked the ass of one of the best warriors in the world, so don't you dare act sorry for anything you do because it ticks me off that you think your less important to your group." Marmora got up and hugged Sakura before walking away.
"I'm going to ask the big guy where the scrolls are and more about the Arctic Armor… That's the only hope I have of fighting Momoshiki and all that… Momoshiki has his right hand on Earth? We have a perfect chance to take him down while he's away from Momoshiki and the others." Marmora stated.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that next chapter is going to be long and this is going to be a 250 or so story. Next chapter will be on next Sunday and will show Marmora and Sakura bonding and Momoshiki's plan along with Marmora's new plan. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
