Finding an old Acquaintance
Naruto was quickly getting the shits of this mission. He had walked all day and found nothing. He was becoming homesick extremely fast. After seven years of assassinating multiple people, he slowly lost his soul. His first hit was on small merchant family, who had done nothing wrong, except for becoming competition for a large mafia style organization. He had been given a very valuable ring from that hit. It was a white gold ring, 18 karots, with a large peridot gem on it. It was said to allow easier and more effective chakra control.
His thoughts were interrupted by a familiar smell. It smelled like chicken and rice balls. 'Chouji' Naruto thought. He was correct. There, in the distance, stood Chouji, stuffing his face with fried chicken and rice balls. Naruto decided to scare him, so he slowly crept up to him, and took his position. "HEY CHOUJI!!!" he yelled into his ears. Chouji, having been caught completely by surprise, dropped his food onto a small ant hill.
"Awwww" he moaned, examining the dirt covered food. He looked at Naruto, and started thinking about ramen noodles. 'mmmmm, ramen' he thought. Naruto just started talking to him, but soon found it to be useless while Chouji had food on the brain. Naruto laughed, and started to walk away. Chouji did the "clear your throat to get heir attention thing" and Naruto laughed again. He pulled $100 out of his pocket and tossed it to him. Chouji smiled and walked off. 'Chouji, he'll never change.' Naruto thought to himself.
As he continued, he saw foot prints, and remnants of a fire. He sniffed the area to pick up the scent. 'Hmmm' he thought. 'This scent is so familiar... I KNOW, IT'S INO'S SCENT' He began running after the prints, but darkness settled in sooner than he expected. He sniffed the air again. This time it was stronger...fresher, he was getting closer to her. He started picturing the blonde, and that led to the more...disturbing thought. When he and Jiraya "accidentally" stumbled upon Ino and Sakura...naked...at the hot springs. He suppressed these memories, and set up his tent. 'Best not to think of those two, they were never anything but trouble. They treated me like dirt.' He shook the memories away, and tried to sleep. It came easily.
