This took some time since I was busy with Christmas break, my birthday, my other story 'Softer than Scarlet' and I got sick. -- Fun, I know. I want to thank everyone who has read this story, added me to their fav list and reviewed so far. You guys rock! Have a cookie!
Bun anyway here is Chapter six. I don't own Naruto...yet
Somewhere deep within the darkness of a mysterious location stood two figures wearing black cloaks with red clouds. The first one had red piercing eyes with raven black hair pulled back into a long thin pony tail. His partner stood behind him, his face lowered. His skin was a pale blue surrounding his small white eyes. A huge sword was strapped to his back.
"Three of them all in one place?" The one with the shark like appearance asked.
"Yes Kisame, though Deidara and Sasori have discovered that their target is one of the three we are to have the first attack."
Kisame chuckled grabbing the hilt of his sword. "Good…."
"Control yourself. We are ordered to observe them before we engage them in battle. We know that the One Tailed Shukaku and the Nine tailed Kyubi are in Leaf but we still have to identify the third beast." Itachi stated calmly. "For now we watch."
Sakura sighed as Naruto's angry insults and Sai's remarking rudeness flooded her ears.
"Would you shut up you dope?" Sasuke angrily hissed.
"You shut up teme!" Naruto shouted back.
"Stay out of this you gay hag." Sai remarked with a fake smile plastered across his face in a mocking manner.
"What did you say you-"
Sakura covered her throbbing ears in an attempt to block out the boys' fighting. She could almost feel her sensitive ears bleeding from the increasing volume. It was their second day of training and the second day of spring and Kakashi was late!
"Is that old man always his late?" She asked interrupting the soon to be fight.
"Huh, oh yeah he's never on time. He should be here soon though. He's normaly three hours late and It's been two hours and…forty five minuets!" Naruto chirped happily thrilled that Sakura was talking to him.
"If he's always late why do you always show up on time then?" She asked
All three boys blinked searching for an answer but couldn't find one. "Uh I don't know Sakura chan? I guess it's just habit."
A cloud of smoke to their right drew four pairs of eyes towards a grinning gray haired teacher. "Sorry I'm late guys but you see today I got lost on the path of life and…"
"LIAR!" Naruto shouted just like yesterday.
Ignoring Naruto's outburst the Jonin continued. "Well today I though we could spar and then take a break to talk about ourselves since we have a new member. I forgot to do that yesterday since I was busy reading."
"I call Sakura chan!" Naruto shouted linking arms with the pink haired wolf girl. Sasuke and Sai groaned having to be stuck with each other. Sakura blinked feeling the blue eyed fox boy's hand on her arm. Okami smiled to herself at seeing how Naruto reacted to Sakura.
Sakura took he place a few paces from Naruto and crouched down slightly as Naruto preformed his trademark Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, and seven Naruto clones appeared beside him. Sakura frowned beneath her mask sensing Naruto's chakra on all of his clones. "Why isn't the nine tailed fox helping him?" She asked Okami. If anything the fox is holding Naruto back by un-evening his chakra pattern making him use to much chakra for one simple move."
Despite that Naruto's clones were fast and hard to dodge. "Interesting." She though as she bent her head back until it was inches from the ground and flipped without using her hands. She Kicked one clone making it disappear in a cloud of smoke while dodging another one. She placed both hands firmly on the ground raising her legs high into the air before spinning them wildly like a windmill while crossing her hands over one another to keep the rhythm going. Doing this any clone that came near her was instantly thrown back before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
Sakura stopped when she noticed that there were no more Narutos left. "Where is he?" She stood up and spread her feet apart closing her eyes. She smiled feeling The vibrations Naruto was causing through her un clad feet. She jumped up out of his way as he emerge from the ground. Though, the kuni thrown at her caught her off guard when on grazed her shoulder as the other three were deflected.
She Landed before jumping back to avoid he punches and kicks from seven more Naruto clones. She back flipped and then tumbled trying to get out of their range amazed at Naruto's speed. She smiled. "Though the fox may be holding him back Naruto is a strong fight who continues to grow."
Naruto and Sakura both fell back panting a few hours later. Neither Sakura nor Naruto knew the other was such a talented fighter. Naruto was completely out of chakra and Sakura was completely out of energy. Even in training Sakura dared not use Okami's chakra for fear of someone finding out her secret.
"Wow Sakura chan, you're really really good." Naruto praised panting a little.
"As are you…Naruto. You are truly…a talented fighter." She replied panting heavily. Stumbling a bit she walked over to where Naruto was sitting and sat down."Though there is one thing I would like to see." She added. The pink haired wolf girl placed her hands around Naruto face and looked him in the eye.
"Sak...sakura ch...chan...?" He stuttred turning crimson.
"(1)Anmi!" She breathed causing Naruto's eyelids to fall in unison with Sakura's.
A white wolf with bright pink eyes tinted with white trotted swiftly through then black void and stopped outside a large cage barred tightly. "Come one out Kyubi there is no use in hiding." She commanded as a large red fox shifted into view, his nine tailes swiling around him.
"...Dear dear (2)Ookami, to why do I owe this pleasure?" The large fox mocked with a sinister smile.
"I think you know what I want. It's plain to see that your holding the boy back and my host and I take an very ill look on that."
"And what do you care what I do or don't do to that boy?" He snarled with eyes flashing.
"He's a child. And because of you he's falling further and further from his dream. Your holding him back. Why?"
"Ah yes Ookami the loving mother wolf. I should have know you would be the one who cared. Just 'cause you have a relationship with you host doesn't mean you have to force me to have one with mine."
"Why?" She asked again more sternly.
"Why should I help the one who holds me behind these bars?" He snapped back, his aura turning a deadly color.
"You hate being caged in here think of how your boy must feel. By holding him back your condemning him to you own fate!" Okami the softened. "And also If her learns that you are trustworthy he might just rise these bars for you. That's what Sakura has done for me. Naruto wasn't the one that put you behind these bars, don't blame him." With that said Ookami got up and trotted off, back into Sakura's mind, leaving the nine tailed to think about what he just heard.
"I think it's time I had a talk with the runt." He muttred resting his head again.
When Naruto opened his eyes he found a pair of bright emerald orbs staring back at him. A scarlet blush jumping to his cheeks at his crush being so close to him. "Uh um S…Sakura chan?" He stuttered as Sakura released his head and sat back.
"Don't worry Naruto it's nothing. I think Sasuke and Sai are done with their spar as well, let's go." She said standing up and running over to the silver haired Jonin.
Naruto blinked and touched to side of his face where her hand used to be before getting up and running after her.
When he reached the small group of ninja Naruto found them all eating their lunches and a cut of warm ramen waiting for him.
"Ramen!" He cried hugging the cup.
"Dope." Sasuke muttered.
"What did you say Teme?"
"Shut up baka." Sai grunted.
Sakura turned towards Kakashi to see him reading that same book from yesterday. The pink haired wolf girl sighed. "What have I gotten myself into?"
"Idiot."
"Clown."
"Pervert."
"Yaro"
"Aho!"
"Henjin."
"Boke."
"Menkui!"
"SHUT UP!" Sakura shouted silencing them all.
"Why Ugly?" Sai asked still wearing that fake smile.
Ugly there was that word again. That word that her father used with her so many times. That word that rested deeply with in her brain. Ugly... So her father wasn't the only one who though she was a hag. I made her feel better knowing that she really was ugly. When people said she was pretty it made her sweet and uneasy, but when people called her ugly she felt...happy almost.
"You take that back Baka Sakura chan is not ugly!" Naruto Shouted again at Sai even more angry than before (if possible.)
"Naruto please, I don't mind it's okay." Sakura laughed making him stop shouting instantly.
"But…but Sakura channnnn." Naruto whined.
"If you're all done fighting I think It's time we got to know each other a little bit." Kakashi interrupted before another fight could break out. I know you three already did this but Sakura you're new so please tell up your name dislikes, likes, and dreams."
"Okay, my name is Sakura. I hate noise and a cretin someone. I like the quiet and the mountains. My dream if to prove that I can be a great ninja too even though I was born a girl and not a boy." Sakura stated and she could feel Okami smile with pride when she stated her dream that she fully supported. "And that's it, if you want to know more about me you'll have to ask."
"Good you did a better job than some of us." Kakashi hinted glancing over at Sasuke and Sai who were playing with their thumbs. Naruto was staring at sakura with stars in his eyes. "Now for some more training!"
On the other side of the village a man stood next to Tsunada with three sand siblings behind him. "Thank you Tsunada san for inviting us here. It's a great get away from the hash suns of Suna."
"Your welcome Kazekage. I hope your children find leaf enjoyable." The hazel eyed woman replied.
Behind her stood a boy with flaming red hair and sof seafome green eyes. His eyesshifted to his left and he saw the edge of training field. The one tailed beast resting inside his stirred awaken and inraged. Something in that training field was giving off strong vibes that sent him into an uproar. Tsunada looked back to see a puddle of sand where the red haired boy once stood, now nowhere to be seen.
(1) It means deep sleep.
(2) Sakura calls the white mother wolf Okami though her real name is Ookami. Okami means ruler of the mountain or something like that and Ookami means wolf. The reason Sakura calls her this is still unknown until I tell you but I can say that it has something to do with her life before she became a demon since she was once human.
Wo hoooo. I'm done! Unlike a lot of people I don't have a lot of school to deal with and I don't have any after school clubs or sports to go to so this pretty much is my life I just slow down around Christmas. Sorry I took so long.
