Chapter 31
THE TRUE REAPER VERSUS THE FAKE GOD OF DEATH ARC PART 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK YEARS AGO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently a fourteen year old Naruto was laying on a tree branch that could support his weight with a care if he were to fall. On his face was a single mask showing a simple design with a mischievous smirk running from its cheekbones down to, slightly above, the jawline and arching back up to his opposite cheekbone. Granting him visibility are two crescent-shaped spots flowing downwards, forming a wicked portrayal along with the mouth piece.
His most intriguing accessory is a white mask that covers his entire visage. The mask itself is simply design with a mischievous smirk running from its cheekbones down to, slightly above, the jawline and arching back up to his opposite cheekbone. Granting him visibility are two crescent-shaped spots flowing downwards, forming a wicked portrayal along with the mouth piece. Naruto's upper body is completely covered by a connected jacket with three buttons on either side. The jacket's collars are flipped, giving view to a plant-like design on the inside and several diagonal lines on the higher areas. The jacket's end spots a split cape elongating to his feet. Underneath the jacket, he dons a white shirt with many buttons and a small collar, as well as a small bow-tie around his neck. His lower regions are covered by a pair of pants spotting multiple lines jutting downwards. Circling around his thighs are two straps, where he keeps both his custom Beretta: Spanking Sodomy and Psychedelic Gospel. Naruto covers his hands with white gloves, and wears a magician's hat on top of his head.
"So you're my new partner?" Hearing that, Naruto's left hand grabbed his mask and he glances down finding a teenage girl. She has long blonde hair, big blue eyes, and fair skin while wearing a normal outfit which was the school uniform.
"Oh, so you're the one I'm going to work with." Hearing that, the girls eyes just narrow in anger.
"Oh shut-" she froze after seeing he was gone and felt a hand touch her head which she turns fast to find Naruto standing behind her with his hands going into his pockets.
"Don't hold me back kid." Hearing that, she just glares at Naruto in anger.
"SHUT IT! I'm being forced to attend school here due to you are unwilling to change locations!" She yelled at Naruto who just puts the mask back on then looks at her.
"Does the look on my face gives a shit?" Hearing that, Irina just grits her teeth and watched as he continued walking which she had no choice but to follow him since she's in his classes but right now there on a mission to get to know one another.
"How the hell am I going to learn from this guy?" Irina thought to herself, staring at his back but noticed he was already gone much to her surprise and annoyance.
"Asshole..." The girl thought to herself in anger but blinks in surprise seeing he was actually standing on her right.
"WHAT THE?!" Irina yelled with complete shock at how he moved and noticed he was on his phone.
"I've been given a direct order, even so don't get in my way." Hearing that, she just glares at him to see he continued walking and had no choice but to follow after him since she doesn't know where there mission will be taking them.
"What's your name?" Hearing that, he just continues walking while speaking.
"Naruto... Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze is my name." Hearing that, she introduces herself.
"My name is Irina Jelavić." Hearing that, Naruto just blinks in surprise and looks at her again with a smile appearing on his face.
"Oh, so you're the female prodigy huh... Even so don't get in my way." Hearing that, she continues to glare at Naruto while they were walking to there assassination target through Irina was confused at why he was wearing something that would make him stand out so much.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK END AFTER SCHOOL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I like the new outfit Orochi." Itona said while walking next to Nagisa who just sweat drops.
"You can stop calling me that you know, we don't need do use nicknames anymore." Nagisa told Itona who just shrugs but the two noticed a grumpy Irina walking past the two.
"That guy really done any remember my birthday but just last month he celebrated Konan's birthday... HOW COULD HE FORGET?!" Irina yelled out in anger making the other students sweat drop at seeing this.
"Ah... I remember. Four days ago, it was October-wait a second, it says here that..." Hinano stops at seeing it was not just Irina's birthday but also Naruto's which no one celebrated or knew. Seeing the look on her face, Itona, Nagisa, and Kaede peak at the screen to see what she sees.
"They were born on the same day?" Kaede said with surprise at finding this out.
"There birthdays passed by while we were more focused on training. From a the look on her face she wanted a present from dad while not knowing it's also his birthday..." Itona said with surprise which they look at the other until Itona ran past them.
"Hey Irina!" Hearing her name being called she turns to Itona, confused at why he called her name.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NEXT DAY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Naruto stood behind Karasuma who was preparing the papers Naruto needs to sign so that Retsu would live with his adopted father and brother which would be hilarious if he could only see the face of Gakushū who finds out he will be living with the girl. In front of them was an uncomfortable Irina who sat next to Konan, both holding a present behind there back.
"Ummm Naruto..." Hearing that he looks up to find both girls standing which also gains Karasuma's attention.
"Sorry for forgetting your birthday!" Both girls shouted much to Naruto's surprise.
"My birthday?" After saying that he walks in front of the desk to find both of them bowing to him while holding out there presents. He then blinks in surprise at remembering its the fifteenth.
"Oh yeah, so is that why you wanted me to sleep on the couch, because you wanted to talk to Konan about what to get me?" Hearing that, Irina blushes while Konan starts sweating. As this was happening, the students were outside after hearing what Itona told them, all wanting to see this.
Naruto just takes the presents much to his surprise at forgetting his birthday was days ago.
"Thank you." After saying that, Irina stood up straight gaining his attention.
"I-Is there anything else you wanted to say?" Hearing that, Naruto just stares at her confused.
"I... Don't believe so; why?" Hearing that, Naruto saw the look on Irina's face turn to anger which he didn't expect since he could see tears in her eyes and without another word she left the room, confusing Naruto and Konan.
"What was that all about?" Naruto asked no one in particular until the window opens to reveal the students which he turns to them.
"Naruto sensei, did you actually forget?" Hearing Hiroto ask him that, Naruto just turns to them confused.
"Don't tell us you still haven't noticed!" Hearing Okano ask him that he just raises an eyebrow.
"What are you kids talking about?" Hearing that, they glare at Naruto who began sweating at why there angry.
"I'm uhhhh, gonna go check on Koro..." Naruto said and walks out of the room while Konan turns to the students.
"Wanna tell me why you're angry at Naruto?" Hearing that, Tōka answers her question.
"Well it was Irina's birthday five days ago." Hearing that, Konan was greatly surprised at not knowing Irina was born on the same day.
"Now that makes sense..." Konan said, her eyes narrowing while she looks away, wondering how Naruto could forget.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AFTER SCHOOL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Naruto was sitting on his bed, opening the presents find out what was in it. To his shock, Konan's present was that of an old picture of Naruto, Konan, Yahiko, and Nagoto when they were kids. Seeing this, Naruto just smoked sadly and places it on his dresser, when he opened the second present from Irina he was surprised to find his old mask that he thought went missing after his and Irina's last mission that didn't end well with his mask being lost but more so was that he broke up with Irina for Aguri which made the mission that much harder to complete.
"Irina didn't come home." Hearing that, he looks up at the door to see Konan.
"What's wrong with Irina?" Hearing that, she just glares at him.
"Seriously, you don't remember it's her birthday?" Hearing that, Naruto was now confused.
"Her birthday is tomorrow." When Konan heard that, she was clearly confused while he continued speaking.
"Her birthday wasn't October 10th it was actually October 16th which is tomorrow. I did my research and she was born in that day, did you actually think I would forget about her birthday?" Hearing that, Konan was surprised but questions him.
"Why didn't you say anything then? If you had just said something then she wouldn't have been so upset." Hearing that, Naruto just nods.
"Yes, you are right but I wanted it to be a surprise..." Hearing that, she was confused at what "surprise" he was gonna give her.
"What was her birthday present?" Hearing that, he could only blush.
"Well uh..." After saying that what she heard was shocking she to her not even expecting him to say such a thing.
