Chapter 8:
In training ground three, Hatake Kakashi and Namikaze Naru were busy working on their jutsu; both were determined to beat the other on learning their jutsu's first. So far, Kakashi had the lead being able to muster sparks of lightning every few minutes, which was a fast improvement from an hour ago.
Naru, on the other hand, hadn't gotten very far in making any progress; this, of course, frustrated her not use to not being able to master a technique right off the bat.
From his position, Kakashi snickered, seeing her frustration and decided it was time for a break.
"Yo, Naru, why don't we take a break and go get some lunch," he said.
Naru looked up from her scroll and gave him a nod, "Yeah, ok," she said.
The two friends quickly rolled up their scrolls and then headed out of the training ground to get lunch; they decided to go to a local soup shop that served eggplant soup, which was Kakashi's favorite food.
On the way there, they discussed their progress and how they felt they were doing. Naru reluctantly admitted she was having trouble shaping her chakra into a dragon, and Kakashi admitted to having trouble with directing his chakra to his target.
Naru put on a thinking pose, "I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong," she said.
Kakashi tilted his head also in thinking about what he was doing wrong; after a few minutes, he got tired and decided the best course of action was to take a break and then try to figure it out.
"Naru let's eat lunch and then try to figure it out," he said.
Naru sighed in resignation, " Ok, Kakashi, she said.
The two friends then continued there walk to the restaurant in comfortable silence.
Kurama's Pov:
Kurama watched the scene unfold from his spot in Naru's mind with amusement and pride. Amusement because of how cute the two friends were and pride because his kit had finally gotten some brains and figured out her feelings for the wolf.
The Bijuu knew it wouldn't be long before their friendship would progress to something more; it was something he looked forward to seeing. It was time his kit and the wolf had some happiness.
Speaking of the wolf, Kurama had been busy trying to help Naru figure out a way to save Sakumo.
The fox knew saving Sakumo would be an imperative aspect of saving Kakashi from having to relive his traumatic past life, and since the wolf was his kit's future mate, he was determined to help her save him.
The problem was how they could do that; it wasn't like they could go with Sakumo on that mission, so what else could they do? Kurama wasn't sure yet, but he knew they needed to figure out something soon time was running out.
Author's note: Hello everyone, I know this chapter is short so I'll try to make the next one longer. I'm having trouble figuring out how to save Sakumo, so if any of you have an idea please feel free to let me know. Thank you, Nerdzone6.
