Ch. 5
A Peaceful Day With A Surprise Meeting.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or anyone's work related to the story, This is a Dreamer Fic brought to you by Azndreamer45.
Die demon!!!!!
You don't deserve to live, you killed our beloved Yondaime.
We will never accept you, no matter what you did or what you worked. No one acknowledges your hardship nor will they even have the time to look at it!!!
"No stop, please, I'm not a demon, I'm not…………….
"Sakura please, help me I'll do anything."
"Leave me alone Naruto, not even your pathetic singing can help nor impress. Sasuke is the only one for me and no one can ever help you again!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Ahhhhh………. Wha? What happened where am I."
Naruto woke up the next mourning sweating in his hotel room. The dream that has been haunting him ever since his attempted suicide, and how much his training kept him in the dark didn't seem to be working out at all.
"Guess I better get going and escort that important teme to the Oceanside."
"you better kit, I'll still need you to finish the last part of the kinjutsu training before the rumored demise of a certain village comes."
"Do you believe it will happen?"
"Baka, who do you think your talking to. Of course I know. enough talking and let's get that pathetic human over to the Oceanside."
"Glad we both think alike you lame fox."
Naruto got up from his bed, got dressed, got his kunai and the rest of his equipment and head off to the front gate. When he asked for the time it was around twenty minutes to ten. Which means that he's going to skip breakfast and get over to the gate to meet with Kurosaki-san and make their way on over to the gate that he first originally arrive there, as he arrived at the gate he saw three guards, two civilians, and a clothed man of what appears to be Shinji Kurosaki waiting patiently for him.
"There you are, I thought most of Konoha's elite aren't lazy or heavy sleepers." Smirked Kurosaki as he was ready to leave till he got a bad vibe coming from the Blond ninja.
"Shut up teme, or else you won't be around to see what happens after I drag you out of the sand."
"Enough you two, now Uzumaki-san I'm trusting you that Kurosaki-sama gets to the Oceanside country safe if Konoha wishes to receive payment that we humbly give due to your circumstances."
"Oh yeah I forgot about that, don't worry tell your lord that he's in good hands and I will protect him with my life onichan."
One of the guards were taken back from his words but then again, the mission for the blond shinobi was way too simple and too easy that the money was worth a lot more than the hokage hoped.
"Alirght then were off, come on Kurosaki-teme lets get going ok."
"Don't call me teme!!"
The two set off on their little journey to the Oceanside country. The two who didn't feel the need to talk to each other were walking, side by side as both men ignored each other for the first hour. Bored the blond felt like singing despite how much a rep was right next to him, but he didn't care and just started singing.
"when my life was full of crap, I wondered if I was
a lonely boy…..
there's always a way, to show what kind of love to show
yet I know no one's around to be there.. by my side when I die peacefully……
When my love wasn't around, to really understand my pain, I looked around to see a light. Diminishing as I cry.
Putting down I looked around and see that book, a quiet slumber of hope….
"Hey Uzumaki, that's a pretty interesting song. I didn't think all shinobi can sing just as peacefully as you."
His thoughts interrupted by his complements as the two continued walking. Yet he couldn't help but smile nervously from his nice comment toward his singing.
"Heheheheh…. Thanks I guess it's rare to find a guy singing so depressed, if your thinking of laughing don't or I'll kick your ass."
No no no no, I think you sound cool the wind village has very few guys who sing and most of the time it would be for their girlfriends. Most of the women in the wind village sing to express concern and love for the guys."
Naruto didn't know what to say, he was mesmerized by how guys can actually sing in his country. In Konoha however, singing is mainly a woman's thing and normally any guy who was caught singing was rumored to be gay. Males in Konoha were only attracted to either female or Kunoichi who sing like a Siren.
That isn't true in Naruto's case, since he has sung his songs most of the time the only reason for that is that he needed comfort and express his feelings through lyrics. If he hadn't expressed it then his only freedom is to end his life through suicide.
"When guys would sing it's a sign of love or an expression for some attention Depending on how people may look at it."
"Well I'm not that talented but I do feel better by some opinion"
"Anyway let's move on shall we."
"Jeez your such a hassle."
The two moved on as they head on over to the oceanview. What Naruto doesn't know is that he's being watched not by Sakura or Kurenai but someone else after his life.
"Is that the kyuubi container that the lord has told us about."
"It appears so, we follow once he's alone he'll be expecting a quick and painful death."
Meanwhile back on with Kurenai and Sakura….
The two kunoichi were still traveling to the exact location that the blond shinobi was in escorting the rep to the Oceanside country. Just at this moment the red eyed brunette had just started to have feelings for the blond, it was hard to come with it. In fact looking at the blond reminded her of another blond that she fell in love with.
A blond that Kurenai admired so much that she's willing to sacrifice everything valuable to her just to be with him, or even get his attention in his ranks in that he was popular with a lot of people before he died even the ladies adored him.
That blond was the Yondaime, she loved every inch of his being since she was young at the time he reigned. Everyone loved him including the Kunoichi even the female teachers who would talk about his every being near the end of each session. Most of the lesson of explaining his greatness was mainly his physique, blond hair, and his wonderful smile.
Kurenai at the time wanted him so much that, despite the fact that she's still young, wants to divert his attention to her. Ever since the Yondaime died, she's become so cold that most of the shinobi dubbed her the Ice Queen of Konoha, she waited so much of an opportunity to improve her looks only to watch in sadness as the Yondaime sealed the kyuubi to Uzumaki Naruto.
Now that she's seen the blond Uzumaki she sees a very uncanny resemblance between the two. Thinking that the Yondaime might have a child may be full of rumors, it may be coincidence that the blond may be the fourth's son.
One thing is for sure is she has to find out for sure if her feelings for the blond can become a reality up to a point where just seducing him can only be comfort to her very well being. Despite being an attractive and sexy Kunoichi in her twenties, Kurenai knew that she had competition and It's with a girl Naruto's age Sakura.
"This maybe difficult to do, now that Sakura-chan confessed to me about her feelings for the blond, competition is going to get worse. I love Naruto just as much as I used to love the Yondaime."
"Sakura we should move faster, hopefully we should be there by nightfall or by sunset if we want to catch up with him. I have a feeling that they may head on over to the Oceanside country by then."
Sakura nodded as the kunoichi continue their reconnaissance mission to look after the blond. Sakura, looking worried, felt the need to hear Naruto sing. His voice was like a wounded singer who used to be shinobi before losing his comrades at the hands of a trusted shinobi. She wanted to hear him, the only person ever to hear him sing was himself. She realized how lonely he's been besides Sasuke, both the shinobi share the bond of loneliness that not even herself can understand.
"I just wish I would've given him more attention, otherwise he'd show a side that not even Sasuke-kun would even bother. I wonder if Sasuke is gay, it's hard to even tell since he's been rejecting a lot of girls, then I wonder about that certain someone he's after."
Sakura continued on with their way to head on over to the Oceanside hidden as they observe every detail oh his mission.
At the Oceanside port five hours later……………..
"Ahhhhh… master shinji it's a real honor to see you once again."
"It's great to see you again Yusuke, but I have been given orders from my lord about the payments that I have reserved here for the hidden leaf village. This is the shinobi that escorted me here."
The two arrived at the Oceanside village around the afternoon near sunset, Naruto looked around the village as the two walked the village looked plainly like a seaport more than a prosperous country near the open sea.
Even though two were complaining, the rep from the wind country took him to a slightly built house with marble decoration and detailed carving from the house.
Yusuke was the head of all trading that comes from the Oceanside ports, not only is he in charge but he's the Guardian of Shinji Kurosaki back when he was small in the olden days. Middle aged around fourty five long black gray hair, a strong and wise man that won't take word on aiding someone's help. Most of his time was making sure Shinji doesn't get himself killed for silliest reasons that always end up in embaressment.
"Ahhh so this is the shinobi from the hidden leaf, well don't you worry I'll have the money ready for you as long as I have the seal of approval from the rep himself."
Shinji handed him the seal which allowed Yususke to go to the back and gather up the amount calculated while reading the instructions from the seal.
While waiting Naruto looked outside the view admiring the nice cool breeze coming from the sea as he felt his hair, move ever so freely around his body. Naruto began to let his hair grow more that way no one at least can tell the difference between them. Yet he wishes that he could get the attention he always wanted instead of a negative reaction.
His attention to Yusuke where he brought in letter containing a check enclosed to the Konoha.
"Alright I'm back, now the amount was really intense I'm sure you won't have any problem with the amount your carrying around. Especially when a professional shinobi like your self should handle, but I have no doubt this will help Konoha rebuild itself back to the way Yondaime had."
The man handed him the check as the blond looked at. Judging by the nine and ten zeros, Naruto felt as if he was going to faint at that number his baa-chan requested.
Shinji just stood there and laugh happily and went over to the blond and patted him in the back.
"My lord has a weird history with the Legendary Sucker, I'm sure this is his way of thanking her from lame strategy."
"I…………………..ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! BAA-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kurenai and Sakura was able to get to the Oceanside country near the sea as the two Kunoichi happens to hear the sound of a loudmouthed blonde saying their beloved Hokage's name.
"Guess that's Naruto-kun, he must've been surprised at the amount of money." Kurenai said.
"That Naruto, he can be pretty loud at some points of the shinobi life."
"Is that why you love him."
"As long as I'm willing to show him how much I care for him rather than have you go after him yourself."
"Then it's on Sakura."
The sun was just about to set and the two knew that they were to find a hotel to rest up and keep an eye on the blond shinobi till they get back to Konoha.
Back to Naruto…………………..
Naruto took the check and got outside the house only to see the sunset about to down knewing that his work is done. He turned around to see shinji and Yusuke watching him as he leaves.
"Hey Shinji-san aren't you going back to the wind country?"
"No need, this is my home afterall it's only fair that I spend most of my time here before I head back. So don't worry I'll have a lot of protection so your mission is fulfilled, I bid you farewell."
" Bye everyone,You too Shinji-teme and you too Yusuke-san."
"Stop calling me teme baka."
"Teme.. call me baka again I'll throw you out to sea so quick you wouldn't notice how you got there."
Naruto knew that going back to Konoha by night would've increase the chances of him being picked off by hunter nin and missing ninja.
"Might as well stay at a local inn, but talk about money I hope Baa-chan doesn't spend it all on Sake or sake."
The blond went around town looking for a local inn till he found one and checked in to a room for only one night till he leaves tomorrow. What he doesn't know that two Kunoichi are already checked in and taking a hot dip in the hot springs.
…………………………………….
"Ahhhh…………. This is the life I always love it whenever I soaked in the hot springs." Sakura and the Genjutsu mistress are soaking the hot springs after five hours of traveling just to keep up with the blond.
It didn't make no sense in just roughing it out in the forest, instead keep it cool.
"I hope Naruto doesn't barge in and peep on us. With him spending too much time with his Ero-sennin and his crazy books Kakashi-sensei is addicted to he's bound to go crazy."
"You can't judge people by the cover Sakura-chan, he's not the type to do that to women. In fact once I have him I'll teach him how to treat women properly."
"Not unless I grasp him with my all mighty Haruno Bear Hug."
The two were just about to have a water fight till some of the girls were leaving the hotsprings for some strange reason.
"Hey where are the rest of the girls going and what is that weird noise." The two Kunoichi were wondering what all the commotion is about so they got up wrapped themselves around a towel and headed out to the inn hallway.
As they followed the other girls they were lead near the entrance outside where the most of the historic rocks, where the most of them were facing the direction of the moon as of today. Going near the entrance meant a crowd of women and girls all squealing of delight for a certain blond singer. Naruto has been singing for most of his time in the Inn without noticing that most of the girls were whispering and blushing at the same time.
"Oh my god who's that hot blond singing on top of those rocks."
"is he single? I really want him."
"He sings so handsome"
"I love you!!"
Kurenai and Sakura look ahead to find Naruto singing a sad song that looks energetic but melodic and entrancing.
I love you more than life's only virtue that is all that I have loved…
Where there's life after time's desire and I longed to hold you in my arms…
I've been looking for a purpose to live, yet no one has ever told me that I love you….
I can never turn back time that has done, to the point where happiness just flourished from the hardship of life…
I love you more than life's desire and I want to truly know how you feel…
You're like the moon and I'm the earth, which shines when I was clouded in this painful life….
I was searching for a purpose to live, yet no one has the time to even fell my sadness and sorrow…
"I love you more than my own life; I'll be willing to do anything to be with you more than I can even if I suffer through so much pain and hatred."
The song ended with every girl squealing with delight and even entranced by the blonde's handsome singing. Kurenai and Sakura were blushing madly based on the looks they gave each other.
"Who knew Naruto can sing so awesome, his lyrics were lovely and yet... so sad at the same time."
"I know but oh shit he's so hot whenever he sings, I may have my personal concert one day."
Naruto to turn to his left to see a bunch of girls cheering and eventually going to his side to even express their instant love for him, though it always seem that no one had time. Shocked he didn't think that girls would be madly in love with his singing till a crowd of girls came.
"Your so sexy when your singing what's your name."
"I love you will you marry me?"
"Sing us another song please?!"
"Ok ladies enough I'm tired so I'll be heading off."
Naruto left as quickly as he can to get away from a crowd of women only to meet up with none other than Kurenai and the pink haired Kunoichi Sakura.
"Kurenai-sensei, Sakura-chan what are you doing here?"
Shocked that their cover's been blown the two Kunoichi didn't want to lie to him but just wanted to become frank as the two looked at him.
"Well Naruto were sent by Tsuande-sama to keep a close eye on you to make sure your alright and don't do anything that will endanger your life." Sakura got nudged to the shoulder by Kurenai shutting her up.
"Did you have to bring the full detail about our reconnaissance misson."
"I felt he has the right to know Kurenai-sensei."
"You could've lied or something about a little break."
"Enough you two, I can't go on a simple mission that Obaa-chan has that comes with keeping an eye on me. So leave me alone I have to go back to my room." His voice didn't have any emotion, it was plainly void. At first he felt happy that most of girls he never knew gave attention towards his singing, he realizes that the girls he knew were only lying only to comfort him.
"Naruto please we really love you, I don't know what to do if your always alone and by yourself."
"Then you can start by being together with Sasuke-teme, you two don't really love me it's only to comfort my well being that way I won't get in the way on group missions."
"It's not true Naruto-kun, I felt bad when you wanted to kill yourself and on that day my team saw you stab yourself. I felt the need to help save you from the wrath of hate coming from the village."
"You were the one who came and helped me out that day?"
"Yes I didn't want to upset Hinata over your suicide so i-
"So its true then, you only came to help me only satisfy someone's own well being. Forget it leave me alone you two never knew how much I felt for the past fourteen years of my life. Why should you two come up to me and say I love you when I don't love my own village."
Naruto just walked away till Sakura just grabbed his hand and attempted to turn him around. The blond quickly shacked his hand and just left to his room but before he moved on, he stopped for a little heartbreak.
"I hate you, I hate my life and this village the only thing that keeps me going is my voice that expresses sadness and sorrow. I just wanted to be alone; I wanted to be free from the village's wrath of hatred towards me. You saved me and I was angry, I was better off dead anyway at least never in your minds."
Kurenai and Sakura felt the sting that was given by the blond himself. What he said was true and so much self hatred, so much pain that the blond went through the past fourteen years. The only thing keeping him alive was his voice himself, Sakura and Kurenai couldn't help the tears coming out from their eyes.
"Lets go Sakura, there's nothing we can do now to help him."
"But… it's terrible that Naruto hates us so much that he'd rather be someone who's only trying to live life happy."
"Naruto… he's been through hell, I think it's best to stay away from for a long time. If we interfere we'll only get in the way."
Sakura wanted to protest but couldn't help but feel right at the same that the Ice Queen had to say. the two Kunoichi walked on to their rooms to get a goodnight sleep.
Back to Naruto……………..
He couldn't help but cry in his bedroom, the comfort that Sakura and Kurenai had to offer to him was only thrown back with pain and neglect he had to say. it's hurting him so much now that the opportunity to feel good and feel comforted by female arms, but was met by sadness.
"How much will my suffering last, how long will it be to finally have freedom….
