Chapter 10
Naruto had been concentrating for hours on the small bit of blood and had been barely able to make it shape into a kunai, but she couldn't keep it solid, for some reason she wasn't able to do it right. This time for sure Naruto thought. She bit her thumb and allowed a drop of blood to drip from her hand and fall down to the ground, stopping just before it hit the ground. Naruto shaped the blood into a kunai, stretching, pulling, pushing, and when it formed she imagined it to be solid as ice, solid as rock, solid as metal. It grew harder and harder, until it completely melted into nothing.
"!" Naruto yelled in frustration. Kohaku yawned and looked at the blonde girl.
"Don't worry about it, you need to take a break anyways if you keep this up you'll die from blood lost, remember Kyuubi isn't in you anymore, he's only partially meaning your not going to heal as fast as you used to"
"Naruto-Hime can you take me to go and eat some human food, I've never had human food before pleaseeee" Arashi pleaded using the most deadly puppy eyes in the world. Naruto was powerless against them.
"Sure Arashi we can go and get some RAMEN!" Naruto and Arashi spun around in a circle holding each others hands while chanting the word ramen happily.
"Shall we go then" Kohaku yawned loudly, while stretching out his body.
"LETS GO" Arashi yelled excitingly.
Naruto, Kohaku and Arashi jumped from tree to tree making there way back to the village. They jumped down from the trees just before the opening to the village, and walked out. They walked along the streets of Konoha, Naruto pointed out all the popular spots and went into the role of tour guide until they arrived at Ichiruka's. The trio sat down at Ichiruka's with smiles on all there faces well almost everyone Kohaku's face looked like he was dying on the in and outside.
"Hey Naruto, how's my number one customer doing?" Teuchi asked while tossing some ramen noodles.
"Nothing much, you know the usual" Naruto shrugged while taking a seat.
"So escaping from the hospital again" Ayame asked with a playful glare on her face, Naruto grinned and scratched the back of her head.
"Yeah pretty much" Naruto chuckled.
"So Naruto who's your friends" Teuchi questioned, looking at the pair suspiciously.
"This over here is Kohaku, and that's Arashi" Naruto replied enthusiastically.
"Well any friends of Naruto's is welcome here, what will you have?" Teuchi questioned with a face splitting grin.
"We'll all just have a bowl of Miso, for now." Arashi bounced in his chair excitingly.
"COMING RIGHT UP!" Teuchi yelled as he started to prepare their meals.
Naruto turned her head towards Kohaku and Arashi.
"Do you guys know how to use chopsticks?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Chopsticks?" Arashi tilted his head slightly to the right. Giving Naruto a questioning stare.
"I'll take that as a no, you see you hold them nearly at the top like this" Naruto explained, while demonstrating at the same time.
"Here, take these and try to copy what I do." Naruto handed them a pair of joined chopsticks, and grabbed one for herself.
Naruto snapped the chopsticks so that they would separate and waited for Kohaku and Arashi to do the same.
"Alright you hold them like this" Naruto corrected Arashi's hold on the pair of sticks and monitored Kohaku's. "And then you move this one like this and pick the food by doing this."
Arashi had his whole entire focus on trying to use the chopsticks correctly, his tongue was sticking out from the corner of his mouth. Kohaku on the other hand seemed to get it a lot more quickly, he was able to use the chopsticks almost straight away.
"Here you are, 3 bowls of miso ramen" Teuchi gave the food to each person with a grin on his face "eat up!"
Naruto grabbed her chopsticks and watched as the others did the same, drawing in a big breath.
"ITDAKAMISU!" Naruto yelled with all her might and dug into the deliciously prepared meal. Arashi and Kohaku soon followed suit.
(1 hour later)
Naruto, Kohaku and Arashi walked across the roof of some building, they stopped and Kohaku sat down in a patch of shade, Arashi and Naruto decided to soak up the sun and so stayed in the sunlight. They had only been lying there for 10 minutes before the trio felt a group of shinobi land on the very same building they were relaxing on.
"AAH THAT NARUTO…" Sakura started.
"But Sakura…" Kakashi tried to interrupt.
"WHEN I SEE HER I'M GONNA…" Sakura yelled in a threatening tone of voice.
"Ah Sakura…" Ino said.
"WHAT!" Yelled Sakura
"What are you gonna do to me, Sakura-Chan?" Naruto asked innocently.
"GAH NARUTO! Why didn't anyone tell me she was there?" The rookie 12 and Gai's team all had sweat drops on the back of there heads.
"I don't know Sakura must've slipped our minds" TenTen replied sarcastically.
"Wait who are they?" Hinata asked in a timid voice.
"Who these guys? Well that lump of gloom and doom is Kohaku and this bundle of cuteness is Arashi!" Naruto replied enthusiastically.
"I'm not all gloom and doom" Kohaku sulked.
"And I'm not cute, I'm manly very, very, very manly!" Arashi pouted with a small blush powdered on his cheeks.
"KAWAIIIIIIIII" shrieked all the girls, apart from Naruto who was currently being suffocating from Arashi's death grip.
"D-d-don-don't s-s-sc-scar-scare h-hi-him!" Naruto barely chocked out those words.
"Arashi let go before you kill her…actually Arashi stay like that as long as you want, and squeeze tighter, squeeze as tight as possible kuku kuku" Kohaku laughed at Naruto's misery. Arashi quickly let go when Naruto started to turn an un-healthy shade of purple.
"So how did you meet these guys, dobe?"
"Well TEME there summons actually, summons that only I can gain" Naruto looked up from staring at her nails, and gave Sasuke a smug look.
"Hn."
"NOT A WORD!"
"Hnn" Sasuke replied smirking his famous Uchiha trademark.
"It doesn't make it a word if you say it for longer" Naruto replied annoyed.
"ANYWAYS, Naruto what are you doing out of the hospital Tsunade-sama isn't very happy with you." Sakura replied while wagging her finger at Naruto.
"Eh, she'll get over it"
"Naruto, you shouldn't treat your Hokage that way." Kakashi voiced with his nose stuck in the newest edition of Icha-Icha Paradise.
"How troublesome. Can we go now this is such a drag"
"Wow Shikamaru when did you get here?" Naruto asked completely oblivious to the obvious fact that they had been right in front of her the whole time.
"Naruto you're an idiot" Sasuke rudely interrupted.
"SHUT IT TEME BEFORE I SHUT IT FOR YOU!"
"Ow I forgot how loud you two are." moaned Shikamaru. Sasuke and Naruto both glared at Shikamaru, and sweat started to run down his neck and forehead. "Note to self never insult Sasuke and Naruto at the same time, it's frightening and troublesome" thought Shikamaru.
"So anyways what are you doing here Naruto and why are you with them?" questioned Neji curiously. Everyone else gave Naruto an equally curious look.
"Well that's obvious, I'm training!" Naruto grinned at them all.
"Really it doesn't look like it" Sakura doubted.
"Well I was training but we had to take a break cause I was losing to much blood" Naruto trailed of lamely.
"Why were you losing so much blood?" Ino questioned.
"Sorry Ino secret training can't share anything" Naruto winked mischievously at the bunch and disappeared in a puff of smoke along with her two companions.
"GAH THAT NARUTO, AFTER WE JUST FOUND HER SHE DISAPPEARS AGAIN!" Sakura screamed, Kakashi laid his hand on Sakura's shoulder.
"Control your temper Sakura, I'm sure whatever Naruto's doing is for the best" Kakashi used on of his very best eye smiles, and Sakura couldn't help the worry flood her every sense.
"I don't trust those people she's with" spoke Sasuke mono toned.
"I don't think any of us do, but we can't do much. We have to have trust in Naruto's decision to trust them, after all her trust isn't easily granted." Shino spoke for the first time in the whole conversation.
"Yeah what he said" Kiba yelled with a large grin on his face.
