Todays story is something I came up with in the shower when I was standing uder cold water, effectively treating myself as a PC component and water cooling myself. I just like that image in my head. I feel strange lately.
Naruto in Werewolfland
Chapter 1
The screeching was deafening. Naruto had never heard something so loud in his entire life. Everyone had braced their hands against their ears trying to weaken the piercing noise. Unfortunately their effort was futile. The screeching was so loud that it shook the entire enviornment to the core, sending waves of unforgiving vibrations into and through our heros.
Sakura could barely keep her eyes open, the pain was so intense. But she made a galiant effort to assess the situation and find a way to escape the cocophony. She thought to yell to Naruto, but of course something that quiet would be completely inadible. She used her leg to kick Naruto in order to get his atention. With her hands still covering her ears she gestured to the forest requesting Naruto to evacuate with her. The rest of the townsfolk would have to fend for themselves for the meantime, as Team 7 needed to prioritize whatever the fuck they were doing. Really weird of them to abandon the townsfolk like that, but they'll make up for it eventually.
Both Sakura and Naruto fell into a full sprint, running as fast as they could to get out of earshot of the screeching. The forest was exceptionally dark tonight, and they both had to be careful not to crash into any trees or rocks, as their peripheral vision was limited with their arms on either side of their heads.
Sakuraw was leading the way, Naruto close behind her. She could tell the screeching was getting to Naruto because after a few minutes of running he was starting to fall behind. It was unlike him to succom to pain, but Sakura realized this situation was a first for both of them. Their training had not neccesarily gone into great detail about the nature of sound attacks, even after Orochimaru invaded the vilage all those years ago.
Sakura suddenly stopped, purposely getting in the way of Naruto to ground him before splintering off. She looked around desperately, trying to find a scapegoat. Wtf is that phrase did I say it right? She turned back to Naruto behind her, now seeing that he was on his knees trapped suffering from the relentless waves. Sakura had to think fast, and she made the difficult decision to release her hands from her ears to free up her arms.
Of course their hands weren't exactly making much of a difference of blocking out a sound so violent, but it went against ever instinct in her body. It was the natural response to the pain, like sucking your finger when you get a cut. She stomached the pain and took a huge breath in. Her posture spoke that she was about to expell a great amount of chakra, what her plan was though was not known to Naruto. He couldn't pay attention to her anymore anyway.
She weaved both of her hands into forgein symbols, without having either hand meet. Her hands stayed at her sides, where she pulled her arms far behind her back arching her, wel, back. Her fingers moving swiftly, strange signs that few had seen before. Finally, she shot her arm directly forward breathing out sharply. Her hands had turned into fists and hovered breifly in the air. I was thinking of her having a cool name for this justu but I couldnt think of anything and i hate that they announce their moves in advance. Like i have ideas on how to make that something they have to do within the lore, but whatever.
A new series of vibrations began to shake Naruto, this time from directly under him. He finally looked up squinting from his eyes to see that an extremely long tunnel had formed diagonally into the ground. It looks like Sakura had decided the best way to escape the screeching was to dig down into the earth and separate them from the noise with thousands of feet of dirt and rock. Hopefully it would work.
Sakura gestured to Naruto to get up waving her hand forward. Naruto stumbled getting up off one of his knees but then wasa ble to follow suit after Sakura into the massive tunnel. Sakura was several steps ahead of him when she once again stopped and turned around. She again gestured Naruto to keep going further into the tunnel as she kept her eyes on the now distant portal to their makeshift cave.
Sakura held her arms forward, stiff and with her fists tightened. Naruto continued to run forward but managed to look back for a moment. He saw that Sakura was weaving even more one handed signs, when she dropped her arms down and leaned forward, then quickly bolting her arms above her head and shouted what was effectively a silent "Shanaro!"
With that the end of the tunnel she was facing suddenly filled up with rock completely sealing them inside the tunnel. Naruto caught on to what Sakura was doing. She was creating a barrier with the earth, and now she needed to repeat this process as they got further and further down their path.
Sakura ran forward several thousand meters before turning back again and casting the same justu. She would then run passed Naruto and use the cool move inc. to further widen the tunnel, slowly allowing them to make great distance from the surface.
Slowly but surely, the sound of the screeching began to fade. What was once a piercing howwal (how the fuck do ou spell that?) was now a high pitched tone. Still extremely painfu;, but far more bearable than before. After about 15 minutes of their drilling routine they finallt reached a point where both the sound and the vibrations ceased to reach them. Exhausted they both fell to the rocky floor gasping for their breath.
They heaved and heaved for another 30 minutes. Their breaths both began to slow over time until their pattern eventually returned to a fairly normal rythem. They hadn't looked at each other for nearly an hour now, both distracted by their attempts at rest. Naruto still on the floor on all fours looked up to Sakura, who had one hand on her knee and the other on the wall of the tunnel.
Both both both both both, I have a problem with using certain words over and over again. kjhfrqewiaf
Naruto could barely make out Sakuras face in the pitch darkness, but he infused his eyes with chakra to compensate. She was covered in sweat. Naruto thought to himself he had never seen her so drenched. It was as if she just crawled out of a lake soaking wet. But no, she had exhausted her strength esxaping the noise and performing that incredible justu.
The silence was alarming. Naruto began to wonder why things were so silent. He realized that he had gone deaf since they travelled this distance. The last thing Naruto needed right now was to lose his hearing, a vital tool for his ninja-inging. He could see Sakura breathing but couldn't hear her panting whatsoever. It was then that he saw that Sakura had blood pouring down on her shoulders. Following the trail his eyes met her ears and he saw that blood and pus was expelling from her ear holes things.
"Sakura... Your..." Naruto said alloud, quickly noticing that he couldn't hear the sound of his own voice. Sakura had clearly gone deaf as well, not being able to hear him.
Naruto banged his fist onto the ground creating enough force that Sakura looked up to meet his gaze. Sakura saw the concern on Narutos face. He lifted his hands and pointed to his ears, trying to communicate to her that her ears were in terrible shape. She immediately caught on and gently pressed her fingertips to the sides of her face. Her eyes opened wide, disgusted by what she was feeling. In all the comotion she had neglected to notice the condition of her head.
Instinctively she infused chakra into her hands and hovered them above either ear. Naruto watched as her hands began to glow a subtle green, hurting his own infused eyes. He squinted, watching Sakura treat her wounds. He saw that her ears stopped bleeding and crust over. The blood dried and the pus dripped down onto her shirt. Clearly the damage was done, but she was able to stop the worst of her symptoms.
Naruto, always impressed with her healing capabilities, gestured her over in the hopes that she had enough chakra to help repair his own ears. As he touched his ears he felt that there was no blood, no injuries to speak of. He couldnt hear a thing, but his ears were undamaged on the outside at least. Before he could wonder why his ears were spared the bombardment that Sakura had taken, Sakura reached to his head and began to release the same green chakra as before.
A gentle coolign sensation took over Narutos head, so much so that it sent a shiver down his back. Sakura was being the darling she was and reapiring his ears. He knew he would have to make it up to her later. For now he enjoyed the plesant soothing she was giving him.
After only a few minutes she pulled her hands away from Naruto and brought them to the ground. She leaned back and drooped her head backward. Narutos eyes opened surprised by how quickly Sakura treated him. Still though, he couldnt hear anything. And if he couldnt hear anything, then niether could she. He looked down at his sprawled out feet, seeing all the dirt and mud that had accumulated his lower half. He looked like a mess, and so did she. But he also thought to himself that she still looked beautiful in spite of all the gunk that covered her.
Without thinking, exhaustion suddenly took over him and he reluctantly fell onto his back. For a moment he fought it, but once he hit the ground he knew he was done for. The sleep came quickly and he was lost to the dreamscape. Before he lost conciousness his last thought was "Thank you Sakura chan. You always have my back. Youre always there to fix me up... Theres no one else in the whole world thats like you... Sakura chan always..."
And with those words he fell asleep. For now he would rest, and he would surely need it.
Weird how this one turned out. I really felt lost for words this time around, sturggling to think of new phrases to describe the actions. I also feel like this scene went on too long for what it is, but I also feel like I completely under comunicated the details that I saw in my mind. Oh well. Maybe next time. Thanks for reading gang. I will try to coninue writing this one tomorrow, or whenever the next time i write is. I have some more ideas on where to take this story, well really only for the very beggining of chapter 2, but thats enough to make me want to get it out in qriting.
Penguins man. Dont trust them. They pe on everything.
