Messed Up: Chap. 5
Rated: T
Naruto's blue orbs were wide. The pale eyed man just continued to stare. The eyes went blank moments longer than it should have. The man seemed to relax and go in a trance. Naruto stepped backward. A glare rose to his face again.
"What gave you the right to do that?! I needed him fully there!"
He growled at the nearest guard. He didn't particularly like the scene they made either. "Sir, he was harming you, it was only a matter-"
Naruto grabbed his chair and pushed it under the table, in a harsh way. The guard froze, and another approached Naruto. He continued to glare until he got too close to his liking. The guard took something out of his pocket.
"We need to tend to your-" Naruto marched away from him.
"Don't even bother."
His body shook, just as he made it to his house. He bit his lip to keep himself from yelling out. No one should be treated that way!
"Who the fuck gave them the right?"
He exhaled loudly. He picked up his phone. He needed to leave before he broke something. He dialed a number and on the second ring someone answered. "About time."
"Just get your ass down to the bar."
He ended the call and didn't change out of his work clothes. He went to the bar. He wasn't disappointed to see Sasuke there. "Tough day?" Sasuke smirked at him.
He just rolled his eyes. He stomped on inside of the bar. They got their normal drinks. Both of them remained silent until Naruto heard the waiter ask for him.
"This gift has been here since this morning, and it has your name on it." The waiter waved it at Naruto.
Naruto reached for it. It was ripped out of his hand by his friend beside him. "Hey, bastard, that's mine." He pouted. The action made Sasuke roll his dark orbs.
"For once, you want it."
He handed the box back.
"There's probably nothing in there like usual." Naruto laughed.
"Probably." He opened it even if it may just be a box again. He blinked at the piece of paper within the wrapping paper. "Another one?"
Sasuke leaned over his shoulder to read.
Watch your gambles, or it may end up in shambles.
Naruto groaned.
"Can it be any harder to understand?!" Sasuke glared.
"Idiot, can it be any easier?" Naruto glared back.
"Well, then tell me, smarty." Sasuke shook his head.
"You figure out the riddle."
Sasuke left him at the bar, and Naruto sighed. This day just got worse. First, Shukaku, then the writing, then Sasuke's bastard streak showing through again. Sometimes Naruto didn't get his dark haired friend.
He paid the waiter and said his goodbye. He needed a clear head to figure this out.
He tapped his foot. He was impatient, and he had been trying to figure out what it meant to warn him about for the past three hours. He slammed his head down on the table. "This is sooooo ussseeellleessss!"
He grumbled. He turned his head and glanced at the pictures along his way. There was only three. One was of him, Sasuke, Sakura, and every friend he had at that time. The second, was Grandma Tsunade, not his grandma, but close enough, and the Perv, Jiraiya, and the last one was his family before they left him.
He never knew why they left, but he didn't exactly mind it. He had a new family anyways. He was about to give up until he snapped to his feet and grabbed hold of a picture. Gambles, Tsunade! He took off running.
She lived close, so he went to her house. He throw open the door. "Oi, Granny!" There was no answer. He took a step in, but regretted it. The house exploded in a mass of fire. He was able to fall just out of reach.
He dove through the door and into the house.
"Tsunade! Answer me, Grandma Tsunade!"
He hollered as he searched the house. He coughed. She wasn't here, and Naruto started to panic. He didn't know where she was at this hour. She could be at the Perv's house or at the casino.
He was brought back to his senses as a oart of the roof caved in. Smash. He ran towards the door. The door, just the greatest day, was blocked by flames. He rushed toward his left and dove through the window, just as the rest of the house exploded and caved in.
His breath came out in pants. He needed to find her. He forced himself to his feet. He'd check the Perv's house first, then the casino. He started running towards the house, but hesitated. He had a feeling that he should actually go to the casino. He knew Tsunade would be okay if she was at the house.
She wouldn't be so fine if she was at the casino. She usually was alone when she went there. Naruto took off again. He saw a bright light. It just happened to be the casino. It was bright anytime else, but Naruto's blue orbs were even more drawn to it.
It wasn't on fire. It wasn't yet. He burst through the door and screamed.
"Granny TSUNADDDDEEE!" He whipped around as he heard her voice.
"What do you want brat?" Naruto sighed in relief.
"Hi."
He giggled, and she sighed. She was about to open her mouth when Naruto chuckled.
"Just wanted to say that, well, night Granny." He turned and left the casino. He nodded his head. It wasn't, Tsunade, then. He began walking away. He heard sudden screams.
"FIRE! Everyone out!" Naruto's blood ran cold, and he turned towards the sound. It was, indeed, the casino. He reached the group of people. Tsunade wasn't among them.
"Where's Tsunade?"
"Who?" Someone asked. Naruto just rushed inside, even though he heard people telling him that he couldn't go in there.
"Granny?" He heard a muffled sound. He went toward it.
He coughed on the smoke. It clouded his eyes.
"Gran, Granny." Cough.
A cough returned his. He instantly went towards the sound. He saw her form underneath a pillar. He rushed over and braced himself. He tried to lift the pillar, with a grunt.
"Don't, don't worry, you'll be out it just a sec." She commanded.
"Leave brat." Naruto would have argued with her a few times, and he would eventually do as he was told. Not this time.
He pushed another piece of a smaller pillar underneath the bigger. He put all his weight down on the piece until there was enough space for Tsunade to get out. She crawled out, but she couldn't stand.
Naruto slipped an arm around her waist and lifted her to her feet.
"Told you you'd be out." He beamed. Tsunade glared at him. It wasn't her actual normal glare.
"We're not 'out' yet, boy." Naruto nodded. A determined expression rose to his face.
"Then, what are we waiting for."
The people watched outside the building, everyone had seen the man rush in. There was no sign of him. The building shook greatly, and it started to collapse.
