Naruto Chronicles
Chapter 2: The First Mission
Waking up, Chomaru stretched his arms and got out of bed. Putting on his glasses, Chomaru walked out of his room and was down the steps. Looking around, Chomaru saw no one.
"I am guessing mom and dad are out?" Chomaru asked himself. Going over the fridge, Chomaru opened it and got out some milk and started to drink it. Walking over the counter, Chomaru looked at the clock. "I am going to be late!" Chomaru yelled. Putting down his milk, Chomaru ran upstairs and quickly got dressed and packed his bag. Grabbing his glasses, Chomaru run down stairs and was out the door.
"I am going to be late!" Chomaru said to himself. Chomaru took are hard right and then ran into someone. "I am terribly sorry." Chomaru said. "No need to apologize." The man said. Looking up, Chomaru stared at a young man with yellow hair. "Wait your, Naruto." Chomaru said. "Yep, that is me." Naruto smiled. "I can't believe it, you're Naruto." Chomaru said excitedly. "Where might you be running off to in such a rush?" Naruto asked. "I am going to be late for my team's very first mission and I don't want to be late." Chomaru answered. "I remember I was like you once." Naruto said. "Really?" Chomaru asked. "Yep but now it is different." Naruto said. "That's cool, well I have to get going now." Chomaru said. Chomaru started to run again but stopped. "Naruto, can I ask you something?" Chomaru asked. "Sure." Naruto answered. "If I become even stronger than I am now, can you fight you?" Chomaru asked. Naruto nodded his head. "Until you get stronger, I will be waiting." Naruto said giving Chomaru a thumbs up. Chomaru smiled and ran down the street.
"Where is he?" Yutoshi asked. "He is making us very late." Yutoshi added. "Don't rush him, he must have had a bad morning or something." Hanami said. "I am here guys." Chomaru said waving. Hanami started to wave at Chomaru but Yutoshi didn't. "So what was mission about?" Chomaru asked. "We are to deliver a message to the village hidden in the waterfalls." Hisui said walking up behind Chomaru. "It is a very important message." Hisui added. "That is it, I thought we where going to fight a very powerful bad guy, this sucks." Yutoshi said. Hisui, shaking her head, continued to walk in front of the group. "Is everyone ready?" Hisui asked. Everyone nodded their heads. "Lets go." Hisui said. Everyone jumped into the trees and began their journey.
"How far do you think the Village hidden in the waterfalls might be?" Hanami asked. "It might take a few days but don't worry we are not going to go to far." Hisui said. "There will be a village up ahead with a transport waiting for us." Hisui added. Yutoshi snickered. "What is it?" Hisui asked. "Nothing just thinking about how I took the bell from Chomaru, it was hilarious." Yutoshi said. Chomaru looked over his shoulder but said nothing. Hisui jumped back to Yutoshi and gave him a creepy like smile. "If you say another word like that, I am going to personally kill you." Hisui said. Yutoshi started to sweat. "Got it?" Hisui asked. "Got it." Yutoshi answered. "Good now lets keep focus." Hisui said.
"This is a good stop for now." Hisui said stopping in a clear field. "We will reach the village by tomorrow morning." Hisui added. Everyone stopped and collapsed on the ground. "Thank you I was getting real tired." Yutoshi said. "I can agree with you on that." Hanami said. "What about you Chomaru?" Hanami asked. Chomaru did not reply. "Hey, Chomaru, are you ok?" Hanami asked. Chomaru still didn't answer. Hanami sighed and laid her bag onto the ground. "Ok everyone, get some sleep." Hisui said. "I will be taking first watch." Hisui added. "I will take it sensei." Chomaru said. "Are you sure?" Hisui asked. "Yeah." Chomaru answered. Hisui laid her head on the ground and fell asleep. Chomaru, looking at everyone to make sure they were asleep, walked away from the group into the forest.
"Arggggghhh." Chomaru yelled. "I hate him so much." Chomaru added. "Oh look at me, I stole a stupid bell." Chomaru mocked. Chomaru turned and slammed his fist into a tree. Turning away from the tree, Chomaru fell back onto the tree and slid to the ground. "Uh, I just don't get him." Chomaru said. Then, he started to smell something like something was burning. Looking up, Chomaru noticed a burnt fist mark in the tree. Chomaru looked at his hand and it was covered with a weird colored fire. "Whoa!" Chomaru said jumping up. Chomaru started to blow at the fire but it wouldn't go out. Chomaru started to shake his hand in the air but still no effect. "Wait, it is not burning me." Chomaru finally noticed. Looking down at his hand, Chomaru noticed the fire was gone. "Whoa how did I do that?" Chomaru asked himself. Shifting his hands, Chomaru lit his hand on fire. "Whoa, I didn't that would have worked." Chomaru said. Looking at the tree again, Chomaru started to take a running start toward the tree. Pulling his fist back, Chomaru was about to smash his fist into the tree but noticed the fire was gone. Chomaru tried to stop his fist but it was to late, his fist smashed into the tree and Chomaru gave a huge yelp. "Ow." Chomaru yelled. "Lets try again." Chomaru said. Over and over, it didn't work. Chomaru started to feel tired. "No I cant get tire...d not…. Yet." Chomaru said but fell sleep.
The next morning, Hisui started to wake up. Getting up, Hisui yelled at the top of her lungs saying, "Everyone get up, it is time to get moving." Hanami and Yutoshi got up and started to stretch. Looking around, Hisui didn't see Chomaru. "Where is Chomaru?" Hisui asked. "Wasn't he supposed to keep watch?" Hanami asked. "Yeah." Hisui answered. "Chomaru!" Hisui yelled. Waking up, Chomaru darted from the trees and was now standing in front of Hisui. "Where were you?" Hisui asked. "I was just out in the forest admiring nature." Chomaru answered smiling. Hisui sighed. "Just next time tell me." Hisui said. Chomaru nodded his head. "Ok, lets move out." Hisui said.
Continuing their journey, Team 1 finally made it to the village. "There is the transport, everyone make sure you empty out what you have." Hisui said. Yutoshi and Hanami left the group and ran toward the nearest bathroom except Chomaru. "You don't have to go?" Hisui asked. "No I kind of already used it in the forest." Chomaru answered. Hisui nodded her head. "I like that, you are ready for anything." Hisui said. Chomaru smiled. "You have potential but you don't know how to show it yet." Hisui said. Chomaru stopped smiling. "If you want, I can help you out a little." Hisui said. "That would be awesome." Chomaru said. Hisui smiled. Hanami and Yutoshi came back from the restrooms and were now ready. Hisui was done paying the driver money and climbed inside. Chomaru sat next to Hisui and Yutoshi sat next to Hanami. "Now, how long do you think this will take us?" Hanami asked. "About three to four days but it shouldn't take to long." Hisui answered. The trip was a bit dreadful. Everyone kept bumping into each other. "Are we on the right path?" Hisui asked. "Yes of course mam." The driver answered.
Finally stopping, everyone climbed out of the vehicle and stood in front of a gate. "Thanks for riding Safe travels." The driver said. Taking his horse around, the driver disappeared into the forest. "So this is the village?" Yutoshi asked. "Yes, I know it doesn't look much but it has a lot of heart." A man said. Turning around, Yutoshi faced a man who was blind in one eye and wore a white coat. His hair was blonde with a ponytail on the end. "Who are you?" Yutoshi asked. "My name is Raitingusupido, and I am the leader of this village." Raitingusupido answered. "Hello, we are ninjas from the Village Hidden in the leaves and we have a message for you from the hokage." Hisui said bowing. "Thank you, I shall read this later." Raitingusupido said. "Now, would you kind people like to find a place to stay?" Raitingusupido asked. "We would love to." Chomaru said. "Excellent, follow me." Raitingusupido said.
Walking through the village, Chomaru noticed that some of the people looked unhappy. "Hey, Raitingusupido, why do your citizens look so unhappy?" Chomaru asked. "They have lost many loved ones to a great and powerful rouge ninja." Raitingusupido answered. "They have seen loved ones go and gone." Raitingusupido added. "We have been trying to deal with this man for a very long time." Raitingusupido said. "Oh, I see." Chomaru said. "But don't worry, nothing will happen." Raitingusupido said. Looking over to a corner, Chomaru noticed a girl. She was wearing a bluish jacket and had dark blue pants but no shoes. She didn't look any taller than him. The girl waved Chomaru over. Slowly falling behind, Chomaru stopped and ran over the girl. When he got there, the girl was already running down the alley. "Hey wait." Chomaru called out. The girl continued to run. Chomaru followed the girl until they both stopped at a hole in the wall. The girl turned around and waved Chomaru to go into the hole. Chomaru shrugged his shoulders and crawled into the hole. The girl followed him.
Crawling out of the hole, Chomaru looked up and saw a gigantic waterfall but the thing is that it wasn't waterfall; it was chakra. "Whoa what is this?" Chomaru asked. "It is the village's chakra." The girl answered. "Why did you bring me here?" Chomaru asked. The girl started to move her hands around in search of something. "It is because I am warning you." The girl answered. " Warning me of what?" Chomaru asked. "Don't trust Raitingusupido." The girl answered. Chomaru didn't ask any more questions. "What is your name?" Chomaru asked. "My name is Mizumi, which stands for lake." Mizumi answered. Chomaru was about to say something but stopped. "What is… whoa" Mizumi said sturdily. Mizumi tripped on the side of the lake where the waterfall was coming down on but Chomaru grabbed hold of the Mizumi's arm. "Hey are you ok?" Chomaru asked. "Yes but as you can see I am blind." Mizumi said. "But how come you can see me?" Chomaru asked. "I taught myself to see only through peoples chakra with my feet and that is how I came to find this place." Mizumi answered. "Whoa that is cool." Chomaru said. Mizumi giggled which made Chomaru laugh a little. "You have a beautiful laugh." Chomaru said. Mizumi started to blush. "Thank you, you seem pretty nice." Mizumi said. "I try to be." Chomaru said. "I think I need to get going, my team is probably looking for me." Chomaru said. Mizumi stood and kissed Chomaru on the cheek. "Meet me here again, tonight." Mizumi said. With that, Mizumi started to crawl out. Chomaru followed her out of the hole and both of them went their separate ways.
"Guys I am back." Chomaru said. Opening his eyes, Chomaru noticed he was in the wrong house. Going over to the next house, Chomaru opened the door. "I am back." Chomaru said. Opening his eyes, Chomaru noticed that everyone was asleep. "I guess I will tell him later." Chomaru said. Getting bed, Chomaru fell asleep.
Raitingusupido opened his door and closed it back. Raitingusupido took out the message and crumbled it up. "I need to get rid of these guests before it is to late." Raitingusupido said.
