Chapter 3: I'll never forgive you
On the way to find Kakashi, Zakuro ran into a…neutral situation- Gai. "Um, excuse me," Zakuro began. She, of course, doesn't know Gai's name. "Yes? You are talking to me, right?" "Um, yes sir." "NOOO! Call me Gai, not sir. 'Sir' is so…so…unyouthful." "Yes s-Gai." "So," He began, his attitude tremendously changing. "Are you here for youthful training? If so, you've come to the right place!" Gai could hardly control himself. He began giggling ecstatically. He was staring to scare Zakuro- not purposely, but he was.
"No Gai, actually, I need to find Kakashi-sensei." Gai suddenly seemed annoyed by her response. "Kakashi, my arch rival," He grumbled. "Um, I didn't catch that last part master Gai." "Oh! I said Kakashi's on another mission." " Do you know when they'll be back?" "Actually, no, but I do have information on team7- which is why I knew who Uzumaki Naruto was. Would you like to see?" "I guess I do." She smiled lightly. It was the first real smile she made since yesterday.
Team7 just got back from their mission. Naruto suffered from minor chakra exhaustion from trying to outdo Sasuke –who in return, not only saved his butt, but outdid Naruto. Again. Because of his injuries, Naruto had to use Sakura as a crutch.
"Maybe you tried too hard Naruto." Sakura suggested. "Of course, Sasuke made it worse by calling Naruto a nuisance. After Sasuke's short speech about being better than Naruto, Zakuro spotted them. She had just come out of the training area that Gai's students train. His students noticed her, but didn't say a word as she read the scrolls and left.
"Hi everyone. Let me guess," She said walking up to the three Genin. "You're Haruno Sakura," She said looking at the pink hair girl in front of her. She then turned to the brunette. "Uchiha Sasuke. Hmmm…" She said looking him up and down. 'This must be Itachi's brother. I hope he's- Sasuke's glare interrupted her thoughts. 'Moving on…' "And you must be Uzumaki Naruto!" She said, turning quickly from Sasuke's glare. "Yep, that's me!" He said, smiling his biggest smile. "How do you know my name?" "Gai told me." She said, not exactly smiling, but far nicer looking than a frown. Her fear of Sasuke's glare was now over, and she relaxed. "Who's Gai?" "He's the man with th- "How was your meeting with the Hokage?" Kakashi asked, once again changing the subject. This slightly annoyed Naruto, but all he did was pout.
"It was ok. He said that I have to train with you for now, because I'm on your team." Kakashi looked at the girl in surprise. "How is that possible, when teams are made up of 3-man cells?" She simply responded "I don't know, ask him." Naruto giggled. He was starting to like this girl. Sakura caught the hint and glared at Naruto. 'He better not try anything stupid.' She thought. "Well, we're about to train, so you can follow us." Kakashi said, motioning her to follow them. Even though she quickly made friends with Naruto and Sakura, Zakuro knew that she would have to deal with Sasuke's glaring for a long time.
"Ok. First, we're going to work on tree climbing. Sakura, go first so that Zakuro can get it." "Um, excuse me Kakashi-sensei, I've already learned the tree climbing technique." "Oh, you have?" Asked Sasuke, rather sarcastically. 'Who does this girl think she is?' Naruto noticed Sasuke and Zakuro exchanging glares. "Um, uh, KAKASHI-SENSEI! Maybe we should um, uh, SPAR!!!"
"I guess we should Naruto. Alright everyone one, pair up boy and girl and begin sparing." He noticed that Sasuke was very pissed with having to choose a girl, but had the nerve to choose Zakuro. 'I knew this was coming.' Zakuro said getting into a stance. She and Sasuke began sparing. They started at Genin level, but ended up at mid-Chuunin level.
After Sakura surrendered, she and Naruto watched as Zakuro slowly overpowered Sasuke. This exited Naruto but worried Sakura. As their sparing got more intense, Sasuke started more powerful moves to keep up. Sakura and Naruto watched in awe as Sasuke started using his phoenix flower jutsu technique. Kakashi saw where this was going and stopped them.
Both walked away out of breath. Sasuke began to think about his sparing opponent. 'How did she get so strong?' Zakuro immediately sat down next to Naruto- who she suddenly had a strange bond with. She decided to tell him why she was there.
It's now mid afternoon. Naruto was just about to leave. 'This is my chance.' Zakuro thought running after him. "Hey, Naruto! Wait up! I have something to tell you!!" Naruto turned around, surprised that Zakuro was even talking to him. 'I thought that she'd try and make friends with Sakura or something .Hmmm…' He smiled lightly, and she sorta returned a smile, but not exactly. "So what is it?" "I've been meaning to tell someone why I came to Konoha." "Oh, ok. Why?" "It's a long story. You might want to sit down." Suddenly, there were two chairs made out of water. "You can sit down, you won't get wet." She gave Naruto a genuine smile as he reluctantly sat down.
"Ok. First off, I am the jinchūriki of Nibi no Nekomata. I- "HOLD UP!!! How is that possible? I thought that I was the- Naruto stopped talking. He realized that he was among a friend and not a stranger. 'She's being open with me, so I might as well do the same.' "I thought that I was the only one. It's good to know that I'm not alone. Well, I can understand why you'd leave. Were you mistreated?" "Yeah, how did you know?" 'And how did I know to come to him? It must have been his jinchuriki calling mine. Or, something like that.' "I've been mistreated all my life. I know how it feels." "Oh," "Are you done?" "Nope. There was this guy, he liked me and I liked him, so we started dating." Suddenly, Naruto didn't like where the conversation was going.
'Maybe she SHOULD be friends with Sakura. I don't want to hear about her boyfriend!' "His parents didn't want me to date him because of the two-tailed cat inside of me. At first they asked him to stop dating me when Sasuke's brother Itachi put him in a genjustu. I had nothing to do with it and thus began to hate Itachi." 'Sasuke has a brother?' Naruto thought, and began to pay more attention. "Well, my boyfriend went to therapy. After that, we had to talk about what happened, because I was in his genjustu. My boyfriend explained how it works. He gibes you 72 hours of torture in a matter of seconds. It's really all in your mind." "Oh…that doesn't sound too fun."
"It wasn't. After that, we returned to being the semi-normal couple, on the account his parents didn't like me. After that, he sealed up my stomach so that my jinchuriki couldn't seep out when I went into a rampage. That really pissed his parents off. After a few months, they sent shinobi after us. They were ordered to…to…" She started to choke and Naruto jumped up. He began to pat her back. "Thank you. They killed him. I had to give a scroll to your Hokage. I told him that I had to leave, and we went on a date. After the date, we stopped in front of a tree and kissed." 'EWWW!' Thought Naruto, his childish side making it hard for him to pay attention.
While we were kissing, they threw 6 kunai. All of them dug into his back. When I tasted the blood, I realized that they had sealed their chakra. That pissed me off. I went into a rampage and broke my seal. Then, I killed almost all of them before I suffered chakra exhaust. Then, I ran, trying to drag his body with me. I couldn't save him, for when they started launching kunai in my back, I lost any and all strength I had. I had to keep running. I got to point where I was supposed to wait for you guys, and sealed my chakra. That's why I'm here. Because I have no reason to live. At least while I'm here, I can gain the strength to…" 'I won't tell him that.'
"That's a secret. I'm sorry Naruto." "It's ok, but you do have a reason to live. You just don't know it yet." He said trying to comfort her. 'And neither do I.' He got up and left. She stayed there. She stood up, and her chairs disappeared.
'How can I live when I can never forgive?
They hurt me that day, and soon they will pay.
I hurt even more, my heart is now torn.
How can I live when I can never forgive?'
