SHUTS/SCREAMS"..!
CHAPTER 7:waterfall part 2
now first off, before we get to the story i would just like to get a few facts out.
firstly i'm a fellow fanfic reader for the past 8 years,i know what we all want in a story and i will try my best to translate those wants into this story.
but even still i am a realist and so my story will be as realistic as possible!.
so NO op or ooc characters.
no matter who it is no one is perfect, not even Itachi-sama.
in my fanfic, shit. gets.REAL!
as in, if a genin fights a high chonin or higher ,he has no chance of winning on his own.
NO ONE!,including choji will be spired from this law.
he will be hurt,beaten up and broken both physically and mentally.
but every time he will grow more and more from his trials and adventures and either become the man future Asuma always wanted him to be...or die.
now choji might have been a chonin when he had died and had been training since he came back from the future.
but the facts still remains,choji at this point is a 12 year old child!,there is literally only so much he could do to grow in power at this point in time.
maybe if he was raised during the war times he could of been more powerful and train even harder pushing his body and mind to the limit like young kakashi and gai did
but that's the thing!,choji never knew how hard life could be and had lived his entire childhood relatively pampered by his mother in the time of peace Konoha had after the war.
at the time he died,he was still mostly reliant on his team such as Asuma for leadership,ino for confidence and shikamaru for wisdom.
but this time he is alone and has to complete this village saving "mission" on his own.
he does not knew how to properly train himself in order to push past the borders like's gai or have natural skill and speed like kakashi.
its just him and his clans jutsu VS the 'new' world.
the odds are not looking good...
the rain had been heavily pouring non stop for hours.
the animals of the forest had been smart and had hidden in burrows,tree's and caves for safety from the harsh weather.
but it would seem not only animals had taken this approach as the soft glow of a small campfire emanated from a cave at the side of a small waterfall.
inside was the site of a green haired girl who was tending to the fire and occasionally turning her head to look behind her to see the unconscious body of a boy she had "rescued" from drowning in the river.
she was planning on just leaving him on the side of the river and move on but them the freak storm appeared and she had no choice but to drag him to safety into a safe location away from the storm,in the cave under the small waterfall.
she sighed as she tossed another log into the fire hoping to get more heat in the cold cave as she turned around again to take another look at the unconscious boy she had laid down at the back of the cave.
it her opinion he wasn't much to look at,it wasn't because of his..round size,it was more of he seemed kind of average to she ever saw him again while on a mission she probably wouldn't even recognize him.
she had never seen him before but he looked to be about her ,despite her usual natural fun loving nature she had learned a long time ago to not underestimate humans and knew first hand that they could be tricky jerks so she tied up his arms and legs in ninja wire and watched him for any movements with a readied kunai in her hand. she my of took pity on him and saved him but she was sure as hell never going to let her guard down around him or any human for that matter,even if he didn't seem all that much of a treat.
in fact she silently wonder if she could...no that could never happen.
she tried making friends before several times...it never works out.
choji knew he was in a bind...literally!
he could feel the tight ninja wire tied around his limbs that greatly restricted his movements.
he had only just regained his consciousness a few minutes age but luckily his training in the Academy paid off as he remembered to keep his eye's closed and stay still to keep up the appearance of being asleep in order to foul whoever his capturerer is .
from the sound of the light but notable breathing he could tell it was only one person and it also seemed it was heavily raining.
his senses to him that from the cold hard stone floor underneath him and the slightly damp,musty smell in the air he could only guess that they were inside a cave and from the thundering sound of water and lightning it had to be raining outside.
he speculated that he had not been unconscious for long seeing as he did not feel any drowsiness that usually happens from sleeping for long periods of time,he had no idea what his next move should be but for now he was quietly working on untying his bindings which was extremely hard to do considering his capturer had tied his wrist together.
"okay that's enough!, i know you're faking!"said the voice of his apparently female capturerer.
seeing that his jig was up he open his eyes and stared at his kidnapper and to his surprise he had see this girl before!.it was the same girl that he had seen at the base of the waterfall that attacked him. now that he had a clear look at her he could describe her in had bizarre mint green short hair,rust orange eye's,tan almost olive skin from what he could guess was either genetic or she spent most of her time was wearing white shinobi sandals along with a white short sleeveless midriff shirt with fishnet armour underneath ,long white armlets and fishnet shorts with a short white apron skirt over it.
guess her favorite colour is white.
"hey,your that girl from the river!"he said while struggling with his tight binding.
"why the heck did you tie me up!"
at his outburst she revealed her kunai and raise it at his direction threateningly which made him stop his squirming and stare at her in slight fair.
"okay buddy, i think i'll be the one doing the questioning here,for starters who are you and why where you spying on me?"she said while spinning the kunai in her hand which made choji even more unnerved.
what thought choji.
spy on her?, what the hell is she talking about!, I barely looked at her five seconds at the river before she trow kunai at me which now that he thought about it,it probably caused him to lose his focus on his water walking causing him to fall head first down the river and knock his head against a rock or something making him go unconscious ,it would explain the bruise he felt on the top of his head.
"what are you talking about?,i was just doing a mission and ended up seeing you you there is all" choji said hoping this girl would listen to reason.
poor naive choji.
"lier!, i could sense you from all the way on top of the water you were there for hours !" she shouted.
"no seriously!,im from konoha."
"our two villages are allise ,me an my team were sent here on a simple delivery mission but when we got here we were also asked to do a D-Rank mission to clean up the river!"
she seem to have considered what he had said for a moment then lowered her kunai slightly
"well..if thats true then how come you were all alone then!,if this really was some genin D-Rank mission then where's your team then,huh?"she asked accusingly while taking a couple steps towers choji with her kunai raised at him again.
"how do I even know your from konoha!,you could be some enemy spy!"he said threateningly a she finally got close enough to choji to point her kunai under his chin which made him start to sweat in fear.
good god was this girl paranoid! thought choji.
i'm tied down to the ground what the hell could i possibly do!
"WOW WOW calm down!, don't do anything hasty now! look i have a head band see" he said while indicating with his eyes to the metal plate on his head.
"see its a konoha headband"
at this her intimidating gaze moved from his face to his forehead and indeed there was a konoha leaf symbol head band on his head.
"so what,you could of just stolen this and your posing as a konoha ninja" she said applying a little pressure to his neck with her kunai causing him to panic.
"wh-what!,I still have more proof!"he said suddenly which was a lie but what choice did he have some crazy chick had a knife to his throat!.
she essed off the pressure and look at him with a question look.
"what proof?"
"ahh"he was scrambling his brain for idea's when suddenly had remembered something.
"my po-pocket,check my pocket!"
"hmm,this better not be some trick"she warned
for fucks sakes woman!.
she quickly use her free hand and reached into his left pocket felt something and pulled it out.
it was a candy bar.
"your..joking right?" she said in a flat tone that she almost never used before.
"no the other pocket !"
she reached for his other pocket and put out what seemed to be a ID card.
Choji's ninja license.
she look carefully at the card and it had a picture of choji on it along with his name, age and more importantly showed his allegiance to konoha.
"there happy,is that enough proof, were not enemies!"
something on the girls eye's seemed to change when choji he said that.
"not...enemies.."she mumble silently to herself as it finally sunk in that choji meant her no harm.
"now can you please untie me now,my legs are falling asleep!"
"so..we aren't enemies right ?" she asked even though he just stated that.
obviously frustrated with this possibly bipolar girl,choji just said yes.
"and were...allise?"she asked making choji just want to groan.
"yes,yes were alise now untie me!"he said getting very impatient.
she then bite the bottom of her lip and had a almost nervous look in her eyes.
"so..if we're not enemies...and were alise...does that make us..friends?"
choji was beyond irritated at this point and would say next to anything to get out of those ropes so without even giving it a two second thought he answered.
"YES,fine we're friends!,were the best of friends!,just untie me already!"
she paused as if stunned by the raikage himself and then she started smiling in a way that made him very uncomfortable ,almost like a poor beggar that just fund the winning lottery.
"Yahoo!"she cheered as she ran around in the cave waving her hands in the air and giggling like a six year old on a sugar high.
"i did it!,I did it! I finally made a friend!"she said excitedly to herself while doing what he could only guess was a bizarre victory dance.
"the..the hell?"choji said to himself dumbfounded at what he was looking at as she was now doing the worm on the cave floor.
thats gave up.
he finally conceded to the fact that he or any man for that matter will never understand women .it hurts his brain too much to try.
as he just sat there watching this he hung his head.
well,on the bright side things can't get any worse for me
~grrr~
great now i'm tied up and starving !.
meanwhile the girl had finally finished with her 'victory dance' and ran over back to choji and to his surprise cut him free with her kunai and pulled him up to his feet with surprising strength.
"sorry about tying you up there new friend,it was just a misunderstanding..so please don't be mad!"she said the last part like a child that was about to be scolded by her parents.
choji just sighed barely resisting the urge to rub the bridge of his nose,sometimes he felt much older than he really it was from being around twelve year olds all the time.
"look,umm what's your name?"
"it's Fu"
"Okay,look Fu it's alright lets just forget about it and move on"
"really!?"she said perking up again as if she was expecting him to give her some type of lecture.
"yes really"he said while walking past her to the edge of the cave.
it was dark so it was obviously nighttime and the rain was still heavily pouring down but from what he could tell he wasn't too far from the campsite that his temporary team we supposed to use while waiting for Tsubaki-sensei to come back from her mission maybe a mile or two away.
but from the sound of the lightning and thunder it would probably be a bad idea to go out there at this time especially with it being so dark he would probably end up getting himself lost or sick in the he decided to just stay in the cave and wait it out until he went back to the center of the cave and sat down by the fire.
~grrr~
he groaned and placed his hand on his growling stomach.
he was still hungry.
all he had on him was a small candy a meal..
"hey,you..you hungry ?"
turning around he saw fu holding out a bento with about ten rice balls in it.
"I know it's not much and I made these myself so they might not be all that good,but they're better than nothing so if you want to you can have some" she said with a slightly nervous look on her face.
not being the type to pass up free food choji shrugged took one and bit into it.
it...was okay.
not the best rice ball he's ever had by a long shot,that will always be his mothers but still it was a little better than the cheap ones you could buy at a convenience would honestly give it a 6 out of he wasn't gonna be picking and ate the rest of it.
"how...is it" Fu said in a way that reminded him of Hinata.
truthfully,in his honest opinion..it was kind of average,not much flavor and it could use a less salt but since he didn't want to look like a ungrateful ass-hole seeing as she was so kind as to share anything with him in the first place and the small possibility of her tying him up again made him compelled to 'strength the truth' ...just a little bit.
"it was great,one on the best i've ever had"he said to her with a cheesy as hell smile that even civilians could probably tell was fake.
"Really!,you think there good,here have some more!"she shouted then she started get more excited and grabbed the rest of the rice balls and practically forced them down his mouth.
luckily choji did not choke and was able to eat them one at a time and each time he did Fu kept asking him how each one tasted and he either said it was "great" or "amazing" but the truth was he was starting to really get sick of them but was still trying to be a nice guy and kept up the act,she seemed to really liked it when he "complimented" them.
but still all things came to an end being that they had finally run out of rice balls and to choji who was half way to throwing up it couldn't of come sooner.
"well would you look at that,were all out"said choji with barely held back sigh of relief and held his slightly upset but full stomach.
she blinked and looked back down at her empty bento box.
"oh,i guest we are..."she said a little sadly.
this seemed to have made Fu lose some of her spunk,apparently she was enjoying the attention she was getting from him,she hardly ever got positive responses from anyone and usually just got reprimanded and yelled at ,it felt nice to be appreciated for a while even if it was for something simple as riceballs...
the storm was get worse as the thunder bombs were happening every few minutes and were get louder.
the rain looked like it was just going to hit even harder as the night went on and the temperature got even colder he resolved to just tough it out and try to stay warm by huddling by the fire and try and ignore the cold.
man,what i wouldn't give for a warm blanket right now,well at least i have my scarf to help keep me warm.he thought while rubbing his hands together trying to keep them warm and wrapping his white scarf even tighter around him then he noticed something,he might of been dealing with the cold relatively okay but it looked like Fu was was also huddle next to the fire for warmth but she was still shivering,her light clothing was definitely not helping her keep warm at all.
she looked miserable shivering like that.
and honestly being a 16 year old...well mentally,seeing a child in need like that was starting to make him feel guilty.
deep inside choji's subconscious a fierce debate was going on between his moral self and selfish self.
'we can't just leave her to freeze like that' said his moral looked exactly like choji but was covered in a white light.
'yes we can!, that bitch has been nothing but trouble since we meet,who made us fall of the waterfall and hit our head,HER that's who!' shouted his selfish self who also bears a striking resemblance to choji but was covered in a reddish-black glow.
they were both hovering in choji's mindscape arguing on what to do about Fu.
'she didn't mean it!,we all know it was an accident, look at her she's freezing!'
'ah boo-hoo,let her freeze,remember how she tied us up and threaten us with a kunai!'
'i'm sure she wasn't serious,i mean look at how she acted after that,she's harmless!'
'harmless my ass,who to say that if we fall asleep right now that his crazy brat won't kill us in our sleep!'
'for god sake she's only a child!.'
'news flash jack ass ,there's a headband strap to her arm!,she a ninja just like us'
'but she still just a 12 year old child,we can't in good conscious just let her freeze,were better than that!'
'no, YOU'RE better than that,I on the other hand an perfectly comfortable doing nothing'
'selfish bastard!'
'bleeding heart dumbass!'
throw out his mental debate choji had still kept his eye on Fu to see how she was faring against the cold weather, it seemed that unfortunately her shivering got even worse and even her teeth started chattering.
"ah,chew!"
and now she started sneezing.
well that tears it. he thought as he go up and walked over to the other side of the cave to where Fu was sitting.
'but she gave us food!'
'yeah,that tasted like salty shit!'
'jeez,why do you even exist!,you're such an asshole!'
'well someone has to be around to level out your pansy bitchiness!, and i guess thats my job!'
'my god!, can't you for once just-hey do you notice that?'
'what!'
'look' marals said pointing at the one way mirror that they used to see what the real choji see's and were both shocked to see choji about to hand Fu his warm scarf.
'what the hell man,are you a fucking idiot!'selfish shouted in vain at real world choji's actions.
'thats my boy!' moral's said in pride,it seemed choji was leaning on the right side of his moral compass.
"here" choji said handing his scarf to Fu who had stop her shivering to look at his offering hand in shock.
no one had ever just given her anything without anything in return before like money or hard she own she either worked for or found in the forest while was probably the first time she was given anything for free!.she had just gotten it in her head at some point in her life that most humans were just to greedy to share,but she guest choji was a acception,thank kami she made him a friend!.
"you really should take it,it's getting far too cold,you need some sort of protection from it or you'll get sick"he reasoned and once again gestured to the scarf for her to take.
Fu still a little shocked, gently reached out and took the white scarf out f his hand with great care as if it would rip apart easily if she wasn't careful and wrapped it around her neck and up torso.
it was warm and soft like cotton.
"that should at least keep you keep you a little bit warm"he said after sitting back down on the floor and curled on his side with his face turned to the fires direction hoping to get some sleep that night.
"but what about you,aren't you cold?"she ask while subconsciously holding onto the wouldn't be fair if he slept freezing all night.
"nah,don't worry about"he waved her off.
"if there's one good thing about being fa-Chubby is that i have plenty of body heat to keep me warm".but still i'm freezing my ass off here.
"ohh" she said quietly.
"choji"
"yeah?" he said feeling the lol of sleep closing in on him.
"were really best friends now right?"
"sure,whatever"he answered almost asleep.
"good night Fu"he murmured with a final yawn and drifted off to sleep.
Fu's eye opened widely when he said first she never had he had given her.
"goodnight choji" she said with a soft smile and snuggled more into the scarf and she watched to the rain.
'i'm so proud of him,he did the right thing'
'what's there to be proud of. the one thing he had to warm himself throw this god forsaken storm an he gave it away!'
'it's called being nice and you should try it sometimes'
'oh thats funny an here i thought it was called being a pussy!'
'ahh!,why can't you just be civil for once!,all you do is be a rude pain in the butt who never helps with choji's development!'
'wow wow,never helps!,i'm his selfish self!,all i do all day is think about what's best for the guy unlike you!'
'WHAT!'
'you heard me!,all you do is try to make him some goody two shoes that puts other people before himself,if anything i'm the only one looking out for him,you're just a nagg and look where it got us, we died at the hands of some blue haired paper bomb bimbo!'
'how dear you!,if we did it your way all the time choji would of died a thousand times by now!,besides he's in my good alignment so i'm in the most control here'
at this selfish crossed his arm and scrolled 'fine then!'
'fine,you'll see how a gentleman handles things' moral said with a slightly smug tone.
selfish just rolled his eye's.
'this pansy is just gonna get us killed again' he mumbled to himself.
'hey, i heard that!'
'good!'

My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve,
Sneaking out of the classroom, by the back door.
A man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care.
Waiting is wasting for people like me.

Don't cry 'cause you're so right.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Sorry for the delay guys,had school work to do and other real life stuff but any way recap time what did we learn.
choji meets fu! yay!
no before you guy's rate at me about Fu's personality let me explain,originally i was planning on just using fu's personality from the manga who seemed to dislike humans because of the way she was treated in her village but then the i saw the filler episode in the anime where she is shown to be more bubbly and childish and just want's to make friends and play,basically what a female version of luffy would be like.
so to compromise i fused the two personalities together to get the Fu in my story.
now for choji inner selfishness and morals.
now just to clear this out they aren't real.
nope they're just representations of choji's conscience,neither one of them is purely good or evil they just have a different views on things.
selfish will think more on choji's want and not really give a shit about anything 's that little part of our brains that we all have that pretty much says 'fuck them!'
moral self is the part of choji that wants to help people but since this is the pure version of his need to help people he can seem a bit preachy and honestly a bit of a pansy and has a slight hero complex.
choji himself is not anyone of these two but is them as a whole,but since they are his conscience they do have slight control over some of his actions,not all of them just the one's that he needs to think heavily about.
because choji by himself is a nice guy he would already take to some of morals trail's but when angered he will slide closer to selfish side.
