Chapter 5: the truth behind the mask of lies
Naruto woke up feeling better than he ever had since he ran away. Stretching out his stiff muscles he got out of the cave. The sun was shining brightly and not a single cloud was in sight. Yep today was a good day to go and train. He took a deep whiff of the fresh air and smelled something foul.
"What the hell is that smell?" he lifted his hand and took a deep whiff and realize that the smell was coming off of him.
"Oh, well I guess this means I have to get new clothes." He said to himself. Problem was, he didn't know where he was.
Hell he wasn't even sure if he was anywhere near a town or something. He decided to go walking and hopefully he could find someone to tell him where the freak he was at. As he stepped out of the cave luck seem to be on his side since he spotted a girl carrying a basket full of berries.
"Hey! Hey you!" the girl turned around and saw a boy who looked like he'd been through hell and back. Her eyes soften at the sight of this boy.
Naruto was grateful that the girl stopped, he quickly ran to her.
When he finally caught up to her he felt like he was out of breath.
"Can you please tell me where I am?"
"Land of Waves," she said smiling. Naruto could've jump with joy. He was in the same place where he saved them, this place was bittersweet and he couldn't ask for a better place to stay in.
"Thank you," he said.
"Welcome…would you like for me to take you into town?"
"Yes please," he said smiling.
The two walked to the village in peaceful silence. Naruto wasn't stupid to think that he would have it easy in fact a part of him was almost scared to return back to the place where team seven had their first mission. Where he and Sasuke worked together to help defeat Haku.
All his memories of him and team seven came crashing down like a ton of bricks. He didn't want to remember in fact he wanted to forget so like he did with his childhood he suppress all the memories. He wasn't going to swallow up in his own self-pity; he'd done enough of that over the past weeks or so.
"Did you hear me?"
"Huh what?"
"I said what's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Naruto,"
"Nice to meet you Naruto,"
"Nice to me you to…"
"Kiyana,"
She said smiling at him. Naruto couldn't help but smile at the girl. She looked older than him by two maybe three years. She had long dark brown hair that was in a French braid soft features and light purple eyes. She looked beautiful.
"So what brings you here?"
"Oh…" he wasn't sure what to say to that sensing the atmosphere change Kiyana decided to change the conversation.
"I work at a ramen noddle shop, do you like ramen?"
Sensing that she change the conversation (which he was grateful for) he quickly jumped in.
"Hell yeah I do!" he said with a 'huge smile'.
"Great you look like you haven't eaten in months and could use a meal,"
*Laughs*
"You have no idea."
The two walked through the forest in peaceful silence.
"Hey do you by any chance know a guy name Tazuna?"
Kiyana smiled at him.
"Of course I do, he was the one that build the Great…Naruto Bridge," realization came across her face and a huge smile spread across it.
"Oh sweet Kami! You're the one who saved my town from that thug!"
Naurto blushed.
"Yeah, that's me."
"Wow who would've thought that the Great Naruto would grace us with his presence?"
Naruto laughed. He was enjoying this; it's been a while since he laughed.
"Yep so you should be honor that I grace you with my presence,"
Kiyana laughed.
"Yeah I guess I should. Well here we are." She said. Naruto looked over the cliff and saw the town that him and his team saved.
"Penny for your thoughts?" she asked him.
"This place brings back so many memories,"
"Oh,"
Once again Kiyana felt a tension in the air.
"Is something wrong?"
"No," he lied. Kiyana knew he was lying but she knew better than to prey on people's business if Naruto wanted to talk then he'll talk but for now she'll just play ignorant.
"Okay,"
Naruto could feel himself being grateful that she didn't prey in fact she respected him enough to act like he was fine and for that he was grateful.
"Now come on and let's get you something to eat."
The two walked to her ramen shop,
As they entered it Naruto saw that there was no one inside.
"So I'm guessing that it's not open yet?"
"You guess right now go and take a shower and hand me those clothes of yours."
"What?"
"You heard me, I swear boy I could smell you a mile away so go and take a shower while I wash those smelling clothes of yours."
Naruto couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright,"
Kiyana showed him where the shower was. She grabbed a towel and handed it to him.
"Now I want you to take a shower while I go and get these smelly clothes of your clean and I want every inch of your skin to be clean and smell like a fresh spring daisy. Got it?"
"Yes ma'am," he said with a fake salute. Kiyana just shook her head in amusement.
"Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes."
The ninja nodded his head.
"Wait, will your parents get mad at you for letting a complete stranger in?" he didn't want to get her in trouble hell he should've thought of that before he accepted her invitation. Kiyana just smiled.
"That won't be necessary."
"Why?"
"Because," her voice went from cheerful to sorrow.
"My mother is dead and my father left me what I was just eight years old. I've been fending for myself ever since."
"I'm sorry," he said sounding sincer.
"Don't be, I just realize that in time the pain gets easier to deal with."
"Will it ever go away?"
"No, but it does get easier to deal with."
Something told Naruto that she wasn't talking about herself.
Ignoring the obvious he just went inside and closed the door without looking back. Kiyana just shook her head.
"Poor kid, he doesn't know the dangers he'll face or the burden he carries."
Kiyana turned to go and make breakfast knowing that the boy she was taking care of had a lot on his mind and needed some time to himself.
She just hoped that she could handle what she was getting herself into.
With Naruto
The cold water running down his skin was probably the best feeling that he felt in a long time.
He didn't know why but he could feel as if Kiyana could tell that everything she said was meant for him and no one else. It spooked him out but he decided to ignore it. He really didn't need to be reminded of what happened.
He allowed the water to wash away all his pain and all his guilt.
XxXxX
After his shower Naruto change into the clothes that Kiyana left for him. A black shirt and dark blue ninja pants. When he came down he saw her making something.
"Hi,"
"Hey,"
"I hope you don't mind but I made pancakes is that okay?"
"That's fine."
She handed him a plate full of pancakes. Naruto could feel his mouth watering as he inhale the sweet aroma of the pastry.
"Hope you like it," she pour him a glass of milk and placed it in front of him.
"Well I hope you like it,"
"Kiyana,"
"Yes?"
Naurto looked at the woman who was being so nice to him.
"Thank you,"
"You're welcome." She smiled at him.
Naruto knew that she thought he meant that she was thanking her for the food but the truth was he was thanking her for being the first person to be nice to him. Even if she didn't know about the fox she was still the nicest person.
The two ate in peaceful silence. For once in his life, Naruto felt like he had a home.
XxXxX
After breakfast Kiyana told Naruto were he can find Tazuna strangely he wasn't ready to see him, he just wanted to stay here for a little while longer.
Naruto stepped outside and saw that the backyard was huge.
"Whoa Kiyana are you some sort of ninja?" he asked in a light tone. When he turned to look at her he could see that her face was guarded.
"Naruto there are some things that I don't like to talk about. Like you there are things in my life that I don't want to talk about at least not yet."
Naruto nodded his head he knew better than anyone about not wanting to share your past with complete strangers. Even if she did help him they still had no clue about each other.
"But to answer your question yes I am a ninja or a ninja in training considering the fact that we still don't have a ninja academy."
"Huh, this maybe a weird question but-"
"You don't want to go to Tazuna but you don't have a place to stay so you want to stay with me?"
Naruto scratch the back of his head and gave a nervous laugh.
"Please?"
Kiyana laughed at him.
"Sure but you'll have to help me at the ramen shop and you'll have to help me around my house. I don't want you to be mooching off of me."
*Laughs*
"Wouldn't have it any other way."
"And if you want you can use my back yard for training," she said smiling.
Naruto smiled back.
Something told him that things were going to get better for him. He hoped.
Konoha
3:12 p.m.
Sakura entered the hokage's office and found a very drunk Tsunade.
"Lady Tsunade,"
Tsunade lifted her head and stared at her apprentice. Never in her life had Tsunade felt so confused.
"Why, why, why, why Sakura?"
Sakura didn't know what to do. For the past hour she's been asking why. Why she kept saying that she didn't know all she knew was that it was scaring her.
Tsunade looked at her apprentice and knew that she didn't understand what she was saying taking a deep breath and using her jutsu to sober her up she looked at the jaded eye girl.
"I'm sorry it's just I'm still hurting over…" she didn't want to say Naruto's name. Sakura already snapped out of her depression well half of her depression as far as Tsunade knew Sakura was still struggling to keep herself together.
"Over what?"
"Nothing, why don't you go home and get some rest,"
Sakura nodded her head and headed back to her apartment. Well it was actually Naruto's apartment but she couldn't bare herself to let Tsunade give it away. So with her permission Sakura was able to buy the apartment and has been living there ever since.
"I will please call me if you need anything."
Tsunade didn't want to confirm her theory until she was sure herself but as far as she was concern she didn't have enough evidence to know if Naruto was alive. Sure he didn't have the necklace but it could have been broken or Sasuke could have ripped it off.
She needed to get to the bottom of this and she needed to know if what she knew was true or not.
One month later
"Rasengan!"
Naruto jumped and landed a nice rasengan on the tree. When he landed he saw that the tree was split in half.
"Nicely done Naruto, you're able to do the rasengan with only one hand."
Naruto turned around and saw that Kiyana was applauding his work.
Naruto couldn't help but smile at her.
"Thanks Ki,"
"So when are you going to be practicing your sharigan?"
The blond let out a breath of air.
"Not too sure Ki, I mean it's been a while since I've used it."
Kiyana walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Naruto, I know you're afraid to use your eyes but you have to know that eventually you will have to use them, right?"
"But what if I'm not good enough what if-"
"Hey, if you can master your rasengan in a month what makes you think that your not good enough for the sharigan?"
"I guess," he said shrugging his shoulder.
"Come on Naruto if you can handle yourself against those goons then you can handle yourself with the sharigan."
"Alright,"
"Good now get to work boy,"
Naruto nodded his head. He focus his chakra and activated his eyes. When he opened them he started to feel a bit woozy. He put his hand on his head so that he could steady himself. He shook his head to get rid of the drowsiness and focus his attention on the tree.
"Wait…when did Kiyana planted six more-" Naruto was unconscious before he hit the ground.
Inside Naruto's mindscape
When he opened his eyes he saw that he was in the swear like jail that kept the Kyuubi. Naruto could feel his blood boiling; he still blamed the Kyuubi for what happened.
"What do you want furball?"
The Kyuubi's claw tried to slash through the cage but due to the bars he couldn't which anger him. When the Kyuubi walked up to him Naruto could see that his eyes were focus on his own.
*Laughs*
"So you really do have the sharigan huh?"
Naruto just glared at the fox. Kyuubi wouldn't admit this but the eyes spook him ever since his battle with Madara those eyes have scared him.
"What do you want fox?"
He asked again
"So impatient now are we Naruto?"
Naruto slammed his fist on the wall and continued to glare at the fox.
"You ruin everything!"
This took the fox by surprise. He could see all the anger, pain, and hatred in Naruto's eyes and he finally had his breaking point.
"Because of you I had to leave my home! Because of you I was treated like complete shit! Because of you I lost my brother!"
Naruto kept punching and punching the wall. Ignoring the fact that his knuckles were bleeding and that his hands were probably bruised.
"All you did for me was cause misery and you enjoyed every minute of it."
This made the fox angry.
"What makes you think I enjoyed watching you get beaten every day because of my mistake?"
Naruto looked up and whipped his tears.
"Wh-what?"
The fox took a deep breath knowing this was going to take some time to explain.
"Look kit, believe it or not I hate myself for what happened to you. It's my fault that you were beaten and ignored for twelve years. I hate myself for it and while you go on and on about you being treated like crap did you ever wonder for a split second how I felt about this? How I felt knowing that I'm trapped inside a boy for the rest of my life?"
Naruto felt guilty, here he was complaining about his messed up life when he never thought about the Kyuubi's. hell he didn't even think that the Kyuubi had any feelings.
"Trust me kit it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for me watching you suffer. Why do you think I kept saving you? yes a part of the reason was to save myself but another part was so that you can have a chance to live."
Naruto nodded his head. He backed away and sat crossed legged.
"You never meant to attack Konoha did you?"
Taking a deep breath the Kyuubi decided to tell Naruto the truth.
"Listen Kit twelve years ago I was a prisoner to someone else."
"Who?"
The Kyuubi looked at the young boy and decided to tell him everything.
"Your mother Kushina Uzumaki was my previous host,"
"M-my mom?" Naruto asked
"Yes, the Uzumaki clan were powerful. They had a lot of chakra and stamina and were the only ones that could survive from a biju being extract from them. Now when your mother was giving birth she was weaken so someone came and used her weakness as an advantage to steal me, a man in a mask came to steal me and tried to control me. When she gave birth to you there where some complications she was close to dying so the man took her and released me."
"Of course at the time I was weaken so he was able to control me and forced me to attack Konoha."
"Who was the man?" Naruto asked.
"Madara Uchiha, he is supposed to be dead but what none of you know is that the Makegyo Sharigan can let you live forever so long as you keep switching the eye." (A/N: can someone please tell me if that's right?)
"Anyways after I attack the village your father tried to stop me but realize that he couldn't so he sealed me in you,"
Naruto could feel his blood boiling. He slammed his fist on the floor.
"My own father sealed you in me?"
"Yes, but understand kit that he couldn't ask any other parent to place that burden on his kid."
So he used his own kid thinking that he'll be treated as a hero but instead he forgot the fact that humans are scared and will ignored his wishes and attack the only person who saved them?"
Kyuubi was taken aback by this. As much as he didn't want to admit it Naruto was right. The fourth was foolish enough to believe that his son would get treated as a hero when they thought of him as a demon spun.
Naruto turned to Kyuubi and nodded his head for him to continue his story.
"When he sealed me away Madara escape, I don't know where he is or if he'll come back to attack you."
The two sat down in peaceful silence.
"Thank you Kyuubi for sharing that with me, it makes me see you in a new light."
The Kyuubi looked at the boy with shock and amazement the boy forgave him for what happened and he did it without a second thought.
He got up and smiled at the fox.
"Hey not that I was enjoying this but can you let me out? I kinda think that Kiyana might be worried about me and I want to make sure that she's alright."
"Very well kit, but know this that I'll be keeping a communication link between us so that you and I can speak to each other."
"Whatever you say fuzz ball."
The kyuubi growled at him but just laugh at the end. He decided to give Naruto some more good news.
"One more thing kit, I want to help train you think of this as my way of saying sorry."
Naruto smiled and jumped for joy.
The Kyuubi couldn't help but laugh as he let the boy leave.
Outside of Naruto's mindscape
When Naruto came to he found that he was propped up against the shade and knew that it was Kiyana's doing. He got up and stretched his muscles and walked into the room.
"Hey sunshine,"
He smiled at his friend as he walked up to her.
"Hey Ki,"
"So how was training?"
Naruto looked at Kiyana and smiled. Kiyana knew everything about Naruto and he knew everything about her so he decided to tell her.
He started with what happened and ended it when the Kyuubi told him that he was going to train him.
"Hmm…I don't know Naruto, if the Kyuubi is going to help you train then does this mean he's going to help you train your sharigan?"
"I highly doubt it since he hates these eyes but I will need your help with that. So what do you say?"
"I say…it's a deal."
Naruto smiled at his guardian and hoped that he was ready for anything that was thrown in his way.
Three days later
"Come on Naruto, I know you have more strength than that,"
Kiyana said as she stare into the eyes of the sharigan.
"Just follow my movements, it shouldn't be that difficult."
"Easy for you to say all you have to do is that stupid jutsu of yours while I have to copy it!"
*Sigh*
"Okay Naruto why don't we take a break,"
Naruto fell on the ground and landed on his butt. Kiyana walked up to Naruto and sat next to him.
"Okay, what gives. You've been acting this way ever since your talk with the Kyuubi. What's on that messed up mind of yours?"
"It's just that…Kiyana can you help get new clothes?"
"Why?"
"Because I want to let go of my past and these clothes are a part of it,"
"Naruto, you can't run away from your past, eventually they'll come back and get you."
"I know, but for now I just want to leave it all behind me until I can't."
Kiyana smiled at the boy.
"Oh, alright let's go get you some new clothes and new weapons. Maybe then you'll stop skulking around and get back to training."
Naruto smiled and got up. Kiyana grabbed her bag and the two went off to shop.
XxXxX
Kiyana grabbed a bunch of clothes off the racks and handed them to Naruto. She pushed Naruto inside the changing rooms for him to try on all the clothes.
He would come out and show her the clothes and she would either nod her head in approvement or shake her head in disappointment. Naruto hated this. He hated shopping but he knew that Kiyana was doing this for him and for that he was thankful.
In the end she choose a long black trench coat with a reddish orange fox on the back that also had a hood so that it could cover his face, the coat also had orange flames on the sleeve, black mesh shirt which he wore underneath a plain muscle shirt, and dark blue pants that resembled something an anbu member would wear.
Naruto looked at himself in the mirror.
"You really went all out for me you know that?"
Kiyana walked up to him and smiled.
"Yeah, I do. So do you like it?"
"Yeah, I do." He looked at the back and saw that the fox had nine tails and was standing in the middle of some mountains, the nine tails swinging back and forth.
"How did you-"
"I've came here a week ago and ask the manager to make that for me. It was originally going to be a present for you but since you were so desperate for new clothes well-oof."
She looked down to see her friend hugging her.
"Thank you Kiyana thank you so much."
Kiyana wasn't stupid, she knew that Naruto wasn't thanking her for the new clothes but for the fact that she opened her heart out to him, that she didn't treated him like an outcast and she accepted him for who and what he is.
Kiyana rubbed his head and smiled at him.
"You're welcome now come on. Let's go and pay for all these clothes."
The two paid for the clothes and headed to go out to eat.
Unknown time
Unknown location
Twelve figures stood on top of stone pillars and stared at each other.
"So when do we strike?" one of the figures asked.
"Patience Hidan we cannot strike at the moment but we will, in three years we will attack and gather all of the biju. For now everyone will have to wait,"
The twelve figures just nodded their heads some grumbled in anger but understandment.
"Very well for now I want everyone to continue training. I sense that we will have problems in the near future."
They all disappeared as soon as they were dismissed. What neither Akatsuki member knew was they were in for the fight of their lives.
One week later
The two got back home from training and decided to open up the ramen shop since it was lunch time and people would be expecting a nice home cook meal.
Ever since Naruto came to Kiyana's noodle shop business has been booming. He also found out that he enjoyed cooking ramen almost as much as he loved eating it. He was always polite to the costumers and made sure that all the tips he earned went straight to the tip jar.
Kiyana was impressed at how well Naruto has been with not only the customers but also with her home. Ever since he came to live with her Kiyana has felt a brotherly love towards the boy, and she was willing to do anything to make sure he continued to smile.
After his shift was done Naruto went to the back yard and decided to work on his sharigan some more. He memorized the hand movements that Kiyana showed him and tried to copy them the exact same way. Once he had it down he tried the jutsu and was impressed that he was able to do it.
"Alright!" he shouted jumping up and down.
"Not bad kit, I must say I'm impressed you have been able to perfect two jutsus in just one week!"
"Well with you and Kiyana training me how can I not? I mean I'm getting stronger every day because of you two."
"Talking to the Kyuubi again?"
Naruto turned and faced his friend leaning against the door way.
Naruto laughed and scratched the back of his head.
"Yeah, he's really impressed how I was able to perfect two jutsus in one week."
"Well my jutsu was easy since you had the sharigan but his I'm surprise you're still alive considering the fact that that jutsu took more than half your chakra."
"True but if it wasn't for the Kyuubi and the quick healing I'd probably still been in bed resting."
Kiyana just laughed at the energetic boy.
"You know, your chakra control really sucks,"
Naruto fell to the ground when he heard that. He knew his control wasn't the best out there but did she have to say it so bluntly?
"Yeah I know how badly my control is, and I've been trying to practice it with the climbing tree technique but it doesn't work."
Kiyana tapped her chin with her with her forefinger and then snapped them.
"Naruto, have you ever thought of using your clones during training?"
"No, I mean I have you to spare with so why would I use my clones?"
Kiyana smirked.
"Naruto, I want you to make forty clones."
"WHAT?" he shouted.
"This is part of your training so make them."
"Geeze pushy much?" he asked her.
"Just do it," she said with her hands on her hips.
Naruto did the same sign he's been doing for a while now and created forty clones.
"Nicely done now I want ten of them to practice walking up and down the trees, ten of them to practice on water, ten of them to follow me ten to work on Kyuubi's jutsu; and the other ten to work on the jutsus that I've been showing you."
"Okay, you heard the girl." His thirty clones went to go do the task that she assigned them to do.
"So what's this supposed to do?"
"When the shadow clone dispersed all of their memories are sent to you so as long as all of your clones are working on different things all of their knowledge will get sent to you."
"That way I don't have to do a lot of work but I'll still get the knowledge."
"Exactly now come with me, I want to show you and the other ten clones something."
Kiyana, Naruto and the clones walked inside and entered the attic. For the past month and half that he's lived here Kiyana told Naruto never to enter the attic unless she said it was okay. When they got in Naruto saw why she didn't want him to come in.
Inside the attic there were a lot of scrolls. More scrolls then he's seen in his life.
"I was once a bounty hunter, and whenever I found someone they had forbidden scrolls with them being the curious person that I was I would take them and study them. Now I want you to have this room and your ten clones can read up on them so that they would learn more jutsus."
"Kiyana I don't, I don't know what to say."
"Don't worry about it, just take a few and study them when I think you're ready for the big ones I'll let you read them k?"
Naruto didn't trust his mouth so he just nodded his head.
"One more thing,"
Kiyana pulled out a paper and handed it to him.
"I don't want you to read all of them, just a few but I do also want to know your element that way you and I can practice on it and see which scrolls are deem for you. I want you to place some of your chakra in it and we'll see what you got."
Naruto grabbed the paper and did as instructed. When he saw his paper being cut then burned, turned to dust soaked and finally crumbled Kiyana nodded her head.
"Looks like you have all of them."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that you may or may not have the rinnegan."
"What the hell is that?"
"Why don't you read and find out," she grabbed a scroll and tossed it to one of the clones.
"I want all ten of you guys to read ONLY the bottom shelf if I find out that your reading anything else then I'll personally make you all clean the men's bathroom."
The clones shudder and read the bottom shelves. They did NOT want to clean the men's room especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays night.
"Now you follow me," the two went outside and Naruto was impressed that his clones were doing a job well done. So far none of them exploded.
When the two reached a place where there were no clones Kiyana pulled out a kunai and a blindfold. She went behind Naruto and covered his eyes.
"Now there will be times when you fight that you won't be able to use your eyesight. I want you to stop relying on your eyes and start relying on all your other senses." She tighten the blindfold around his eyes so that he couldn't see anything. She walked around and saw that the young ninja couldn't see her at all.
"Now I want you to stand still and listen to the movements of everything."
"Everything?" he asked in disbelief.
"Everything, I don't want you to rely on only one sight when the enemy could easily take them down,"
"Okay," he took a deep breath and felt someone kicking his gut.
"What the hell Ki?" he asked as he bend to the ground trying to catch his breath.
"You're supposed to be listening, meaning that I want you to listen to me when I come and attack you. You must feel the vibrations on the ground and whenever you hear me attack."
Naruto shudder and knew that one of his clones exploded.
"Yeah how the hell am I supposed to do that with my clones exploding every ten minutes?"
"Its call distractions, things you have to ignored during a real battle or else your enemy will use it against you. Now get up and let's keep going."
Naruto got up and got into a stance. Something told him that this was going to be harder then he thought.
He was definitely not in Konoha anymore.
One year later
Two figures stood facing each other one had brown hair tied in a ponytail while the other just let his blond hair flow beneath his face covering his face.
The two continued to stare at each other before they nodded their heads.
One jumped into the air and used a spin kick to attack the boy.
The boy lifted his hand and grabbed her leg, the girl smirked and flipped herself so that she could kick him with her free leg but he was one step ahead of her using his leg he kicked the girl in the stomach and dropped her on the ground.
The girl doubled over and clutched her stomach in pain. She looked at the boy who's eyes were now a dark red and smirk.
"You've improved Naruto,"
Naruto smirked and stood tall and proud, he walked up to Kiyana and offered her his hand which she gladly took.
"Yeah, I have." He said as he hoisted her up.
"I learned my lesson the last time we spared I won't make that mistake again."
Naruto remembered the first time he and Kiyana spared he accidently kicked her so hard he was scared that he harmed her but Kiyana tricked him and ended up humiliating him by doing the head hunter jutsu and made him run around the backyard fifty times with no breaks.
It was a 'light' punishment for his mistake and he should never feel sorry for the enemy. He guessed that she was right as a ninja he couldn't show his emotions no matter what happened.
"Alright now why don't we go back home," Kiyana checked her watch and smiled.
"It's almost time to feed our hungry customers."
"You go ahead I want to have a quick talk with the Kyuubi."
"Alright,"
Kiyana entered the shop and grabbed her apron. She started to cook some ramen and went to switch the close sign to open.
When she went back in the kitchen to cook she heard the door of her establishment being opened.
"Naruto! Get your but in here we have customers!" she shouted. She was lucky that she had her kitchen soundproof and only people in the back yard could hear her, mainly because the backyard window was opened.
She looked out her window and saw that Naruto was sound asleep. She couldn't help but smile. Today was a tough day for him. Not only did he perfected three jutsus from her, but he perfected six from the Kyuubi and seven from her scrolls. She went outside and grabbed the cover that they hid under the bushes and covered him.
Since it was October she knew it would be chilly and he might catch a cold.
She went back inside and decided to take the orders of whoever was out there.
"Kiba, of all the places why did you chose a ramen shop?" she heard a feminine voice, funny but that voice sounded like it was struggling not to cry.
"Because it was the only place that was open Sakura and besides after three days of traveling non stopped I figure we should have something to eat."
"K-Kiba I-I don't th-think-"
"It's fine, and your right I am a little hungry and some ramen will be good for us."
Okay, Kiyana shook her head and entered the dining room.
"Hello welcome to Ki's Ramen noddle shop how may I serve you?"
The Konoha shinobi looked at their server and smiled at her.
"Well for starters we would like some water and then some miso pork ramen."
Kiyana jolted down what they wanted and eyed the pinkette. She had the same look that Naruto did when she first met him.
Something about her confused her, she was wearing a jacket similar to Naruto's only it was cut so that it reached the bottom of her breasts. Underneath that she wore a fishnet shirt, her long pink hair was done in a waterfall braid with her bangs pushed to the side and her headband was worn around her forehead.
"Alright I'll bring your food over in a few."
She went to the kitchen and found Naruto cooking. Something told her that he wasn't going to like this.
"So who are we giving food out to today?"
He looked at Kiyana and saw her face turn gloom. Something told him that he wasn't going to like this.
"Naruto…Konoha ninja are here…"
