"Your Highness calm down" Yurinojo, one of her personal bodyguard and advisor told her.
As the Damiyo of the Land of Vegetables was pacing around near the front door of her palace mumbling something to herself when her mind finally registered what Yurinojo had said.
"Calm down! Clam down! How am I suppose to calm down? Naruto just up and left without telling me. He told me that he still need time to recover from his fight with Sasuke as well being stuck by lighting with his charka sealed. What if Konoha find him while he still not a hundred percent" Haruna yelled not knowing that Sakura nor him were considered missing nins… not yet at least thanks to Tusnade.
'I did not think that his leaving would effect her majesty this much. Then again he was the one responsible for changing her outlook on life for the better' Yurinojo thought as he saw Haruna order her guards to gather around for an important mission.
Haruna then went about ordering them to go out and find Naruto's or one his companion's location then try and convince them to come back here.
Before the guards could even get that far away the reason behind all this panicking and running around came into view followed by his younger companions.
"NAAARRRRUUUUTTTTOOO!" Haruna yelled so loudly that most of the people in the palace could her screaming the blond's name.
Of course this effected Naruto and Ryo worse of all since not only were they in the same room as Haruna but their enhanced hearing amplified Haruna's basically screaming Naruto's name.
"Huh?" Rin said as Ryo who had been carrying her until just now awoke on the floor to see that both him and Naruto holding their ears.
Haruna was by the blond genin's side apologizing over and over again about what she had done while Ryo was pretty much left to wallow in pain on his own because of this.
That was until Rin had gotten her bearing straight and her brain managed to process what her eyes were seeing fully.
Once this happen, she ran over to three tailed turtle who was currently in human form trying to help him in anyway that she could.
Five minutes later…..
"You can stop that now Haruna as you are the ruler of entire country. What if someone that does not know about our friendship see you like this?" Naruto said
"But I…." she started yet before she could finish he held out his hand in why that was signaling her to stop.
"I left to go out for a quick walk without telling you thus you probably thought I had left because I was full recovery. Something of which I promised that I would not do, so you had a right to get angry. Though I did not think that you would get that angry as it remained me of what Sakura would do when I pissed her off back when we were younger" he said.
"But Sakura did not like as even a friend when the two of you were younger" Haruna asked as she did not like being compared to pink hair chunin especially her younger self which mistreated Naruto.
"Well you know how you were back when we first met. You did not really like me either and thought it was okay to abandoned people and not acknowledge the sacrifice of others as long you keep on surriving yourself" he pointed out.
"I have changed and I am no longer like that" the Land of Vegetable Damiyo exclaimed.
"The same can be said of Sakura too. She has changed as well and into a better person. Sure she still has some of her old habits but overall she a whole lot different then when we were both twelve" he said.
'Having changed over time' Rin thought as she looked down at herself. Despite the passage of two decades her body and mind were still that of twelve year old's despite her chronically being thirty two years old.
'Two decades I spend as statue probably causing everyone including Kakashi to think I am dead. I wonder how much he has really changed since the last time I saw him. Sure, Naruto and Sakura-sensei are his students thus they told me about how he is now yet he was never one to really open to anyone that easily. Does he think about me in the same way he does Obito and probably Minato-sensei' she thought.
Rin was snapped out her thoughts by Ryo's suddenly talking to her.
"He does" the youngest of the nine tailed demon said as if he was able to read her mind.
The once petrified kunoichi was about to ask how he know what she was thinking.
"It was written all over your face as I could tell that you were thinking about that Kakashi guy as he was your teammate after all. Also I know about what you are going through as I once when through it myself a long time ago with very important friend to me" he replied.
"Is this the friend that you entrusted your original left eye too?" the brown hair girl asked.
However all she got as respond from her green hair friend was silence as left the room with her quickly falling afterwards trying to get an answer from him and suddenly feeling a strong jealously toward this old friend of Ryo's.
