WHO IS HE?

'What?!'

'How did you know about Narumi?!' Naruto jerked up.

'Well..' Shikamaru cleared his throat.

'Uh.. let us just say.. I've 'accidentally' heard your conversations with Hokage-sama and Jiraiya-sama at the hokage Tower long ago..' he chuckled nervously.

Naruto frowned. 'What makes you think you can hear all the conversations just like that?!' Naruto crossed his arms. He seems dejected.

'Hey, I said it was an 'accident'.., okay?!' shikamaru tries to explain.

'Whatever.' Naruto let out a small sigh.

'Look.. I was going to hokage Tower when I saw Sakura was running there. I was wondering, so I followed her.. and hears everything..' he clarifies.

'Now, don't tell me you've told that to your talkative wife, Ino.. ' Said Naruto.

'Uh..' Shikamaru scratched his back head. 'I have, actually..' he cleared his throat.

'What?!' Naruto yelled.

'But.. not about Narumi...' Shikamaru cuts him off. 'We'll promise no one will know about it.. really..' Shikamaru said.

'So? How did you know about Narumi, then?' Naruto asked curiously.

'Hm. Do you wanna know who gives the information that Narumi could be in Wakizashi?' shikamaru asked him back.

'You?' Naruto answered dumbly. Shikamaru laughed. 'You're getting smarter day by day..' he said. 'Actually, Hokage-sama asked for my help, she gives me all the information she get about Narumi and asked me to find him.. but..' he paused. 'Sorry to say, that's all I can do..'

'I am so sorry, Naruto..' he apologizes. Naruto sighed. 'Whatever. So, what about Narumi, then?' he asked Shikamaru.

'Actually, it all started when..'

----------------------------FLASHBACK-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7 years ago..

'What makes she thinks she can make me find these smelly herbs for her.. Who did she think she is?' Shikamaru blabbered.

He walks to Konoha Wood and starts finding the herbs that Ino wanted, while cursing and grunting. Suddenly, he saw something shiny, meters apart. He walks slowly and carefully. He then figures that the shiny object was actually a gold pendant.

'Hey, a pendant..' he said, as he took it from the ground. 'Hm.. it seems like I've seen this thing before, but where?' Shikamaru thinks. 'Hm.. nevermind. I'll just keep this in my poc..'

Before he could finish his words, he heard a sound coming from the nearest bush. He held his kunai ready to attack. He walk closely to the bush.

Suddenly, a flash comes right behind him. Shikamaru was shocked and turn his body towards the flash. It was a boy and a girl, about his age.. (15)

'Hey, there..' the girl said. 'Have you found a necklace.. um..' she paused for a second. 'Oh yeah.. it was gold and square-shaped.. ' she continued, as her hands were moving similar with her words.

Shikamaru search his pocket and show the pendant to both boy and girl. 'Is this what you're looking for?' he asked both of them. The boy keeps silent all the time. His face was solemn but Shikamaru can tell that the boy was afraid. Of what, he doesn't know.

'Yes..' the girl quickly grabs the pendant. 'Thanks.' She said.

'Look, I told you we'll find it!' Of what Shikamaru can tell, the pendant is an important item. 'Thanks to kami-sama we find it, or else, my dad will kill you, Narumi..' the girl sighed.

'What is so valuable about this anyway? I could have just throw it away, if not because of Sano-sensei,' the boy grunted.

The girl sighed. 'Narumi, I know you hate it, but please, it's really important to dad..' she said.

'Wait. Narumi..? Who is this Narumi guy. I've heard this name.. but where?' Shikamaru thought. 'Let's go, Narumi..' the girl ready to leave.

'Hey, hey wait! Where are you from?' Shikamaru asked.

'Oh.. yeah. We're not form here. We're from..'

The girl's word was cut off by immediate action of the boy that covers her mouth from saying anything.

'Don't you know where are we from? From our parents of course!! ' the boy shouted. 'How stupid of him, right?' the boy crossed his arms. Shikamaru clench his jaw. The boy won a bash on his head by the girl for a clever answer.

'Let's go.' Both girl and boy poofed away. Shikamaru sighed. 'How stupid..' he said.

'Ahhh.. back to my duty again..'

----------------------------FLASHBACK ENDED----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'That's all.' Shikamaru finished.

'Of what I can tell, that 'Narumi' guy hates the pendant for somewhat reason I don't know. ' he explained.

'That kid was more like Uchiha Sasuke style, cool and mysterious.. but can be stupid at certain time, of what I can remember..' Shikamaru said.

'Hm.. I guess you should go and see Tsunade-sama, make a file about Narumi. Fill in all the information you get in there.' Naruto paused. 'There is so many confusing things about Narumi now.. So, I suggest, you make a file all the things that you know about Narumi, and I'll make mine. Then, we'll compared it.. What do ya think?' Naruto suggest.

'Great idea. I'll go and see her tomorrow. ' Shikamaru agreed. 'Hm.. for your information, we've found a guy that have the same pendant as Narumi as. He claimed himself as Narumi, and works as a farmer in Wakizashi.. ' Naruto paused. 'but, I don't trust him..' he said.

'Better be careful. He probably a spy..' Shikamaru reminded. 'That's what Hokage-sama said too.. The thing that confused me is the 'farmer' thing..' Naruto said.

'He claimed himself as a farmer in Wakizashi and worked for.. um.. whoever I can't remember it.. but, I've searched in the local council at Wakizashi, no one named Narumi was found there.. ' Naruto exhale heavily.

'You've heard about I.O.I, right, Shika?' Naruto asked him, and he just nodded. 'Somehow, I think Narumi got something to do with the secret organization.' Naruto said. 'And what makes you think that?' Shikamaru asked. Naruto, however, give no answer beyond a sigh.

'Let us just say, I had a bad feeling about it..' he said.

'Mind me asking, did sakura knows this?' Naruto didn't say anything but shakes his head, saying no. 'I'll tell her when the time comes.' He said.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupts them. Shikamaru opens the door, and sees Sakura.

'Sorry, shika. ' she said. ' Naruto, it's getting late.. and I think we should go home now..' she smiled.

Naruto nodded and whispered to shikamaru. 'We'll discuss again tomorrow at Hokage-sama's office.' He said.

Shikamaru nod and sent them outside.

'The plan is going smoothly, Narumi-kun. Phase 2 coming right up.' Noriko grinned evilly.
