The next day…..
Miiri was whaling down ramen with Naruto during hadn't spoken of what Itachi did the other day, but it was still fresh in her mind.
"Miiri," Naruto started to say, "you're friends with Sakura, right?" Miiri nodded. "Why doesn't she like me?"
Miiri stopped eating her ramen and put a finger to her lips, "Y'know….I have nooooo idea at all!", Miiri grinned, which made Naruto laugh.
"Seriously though, Naruto," Naruto continued to listen, "I need to speak to you about different matters," Naruto nodded slowly, "I have gotten an assignment, that I am to escort you along with Jiraya to see Tsunade."
"Who?" , Naruto apparentley had no idea what she was talking about.
"The main point is, we're gonna be hanging around with eachother for a while…and I want you to know, that I will protect you with my life because," Miiri bent to whisper into his ear, "Akatsuki is after you, they're the bad people, if they get you…the world is screwed, 'kay?" Naruto nodded, as he finished his ramen.
Later….
"'Kay, Tsunade should be here somewhere…." Miiri searched the map in her hand, Jiraya still gawking at the 17 year old just like throughout the rest of the trip.
They walked into an inn where Jiraya and Naruto saw an ebony-haired women wink at them, Miiri rolled her eyes and said, "Fine, I'll get the room you two….", Miiri heard them arguing in the back as she took the key, Naruto running to catch up.
Miiri was thumbing through a magazine when she heard Naruto yell, "What's this, what's this?! This is always happening with pervert-senin!"
"Relax, Naruto…." Miiri continued to thumb through the glossy-paged magazine, Naruto still grumbling.
Just then, a knock came at the door, "Could you get that Naruto?", Miiri asked sweetly. Naruto walked over to the door thinking, He's gotten rejected already, that idiot.
When Naruto opened the door, he stood in shock. That's not Sasuke, who is he?
"Who's at the door, Naruto?", Miiri asked, still looking at the magazine. When there came no reply, Miiri asked again and looked up, "Naruto, who's at-"
Miiri dropped her magazine on the floor, "Oh, crap…", she muttered to herself, "Naruto get back, BACK!!!" As fate would have it, Itachi and Kisame were at the door.
Miiri ran to the door and pushed Naruto back, "What's going on, Miiri?"
"Shhh," she told him, then turned back to the pair, "I know what you're here for, you won't be getting it!"
"Ha! It's that girl from before, Itachi!", Kisame smirked, and grabbed Miiri, turning her around.
"Hey, hey!", Miiri struggled to get away from his grip, "What the hell do you think you're doing?! Let go!" Kisame tightened his grip on her.
"You can't do this you fish freak!", Miiri was using all her strength to get away, but it didn't work.
Kisame pulled a kunai out and put it to her throat, "You better watch what you say, it could hurt you one day."
Miiri whimpered, she knew struggling was useless.
"Naruto-kun, we would like you to come with us….", Itachi said coldly.
"Come with us, or something may happen to your precious Miiri-san!", Kisame threatened.
"Forget about me, Naruto! Don't listen! Don't go with them!", Miiri looked into Naruto's eyes, only seeing fear.
"If I were you, I would be quiet," Kisame pushed the kunai closer to her throat.
At that moment, Sasuke barged in. "It's been a long time, Sasuke," Itachi turned his attention to the mini Uchicha.
"I will kill you!", Sasuke yelled, glaring at Itachi with creepy sharingan eyes.
"Sasuke, you're a RETARD!!!!! Stop!", Miiri scolded Sasuke, "Also, this is NOT the best time to barge in….", she added.
Miiri got extremely annoyed and started to try and kick Kisame, so he would let go, she couldn't, he knew she couldn't.
Sasuke then started to make the chidori hand signs, saying, "I've been wanting to say this to you…I've lived hating you…And also that I have only lived to kill you…"
"Sasuke, stop being EMO!!!!!", Miiri got extremley annoyed at Sasuke for being emo at the most innapropriate times.
"I HAVE LIVED FOR THIS!", Sasuke finished, his hair flying up, the electric chidori bolt in his hands.
"Chidori…?", Itachi muttered silently.
Sasuke charged at Itachi, missing him, destroying a large chunk of the wall, making a CRAAAA sound. Wonder who's gonna pay for that…. , Miiri thought.
Itachi appeared behind him, with an angry glare. "This is bad," Naruto concluded, starting to release the nine-tails chakra.
Miiri was utterly confused, "WHAT IS UP WITH TWELVE YEAR OLDS THESE DAYS?!", she yelled.
At that moment, Itachi broke Sasuke's wrist, saying, "You're in the way…"
This BASTARD! , Sasuke thoughtt.
Naruto started to do several hand signs, before Kisame dropped Miiri for a moment to make his sword eat up naruto's chakra.
"What the….", Naruto uttered, bewildered.
Kisame grabbed Miiri again in the same stance, "My blade Samehade… eats up chakra!! Now that your jutsu is gone, you shouldn't be able to do anymore trouble."
Meanwhile, Jiraiya came in, Naruto grinned, "You don't seem to know too much about me, I'm better at getting women than they are at getting me!"
Miiri rolled her eyes at the sight of him holding the woman from earlier over his tuned out the rest of what Jiraiya said, until he started to make the walls flesh.
"What the hell?!", Miiri immediatley awoke from her tune out and stared in shock. At that time, Itachi knocked out Sasuke, and Sasuke was now sinking into the walls.
"Take the girl," Itachi told Kisame, as they started to run out.
"Wha….?", Miiri watched the rapidly dissapearing Jiraiya and Naruto. She was now slinged over Kisame's ran very fast for anyone.
Miiri closed her eyes tight, not sure what to think of she opened her eyes, she saw that they were outside now, a black fire burning through the flesh wall.
Apparently, Miiri was knocked out, because she couldn't remember anything after that.
