Whiteicewolf: I do not own Naruto
Recap:
"Gaara, Fu, where's Naruto" Hinata asked again.
"Well, you see" Fu said
"We don't know where Naruto is" Gaara finished
"What?" Hinata said
"What do you mean you don't know where he is" Hinata asked
"Well you see, you know how Naruto always runs ahead of us and we always catch up to him" Fu said the others nodded
"Well, this time when he ran ahead of us the road split into three different directions and we took the wrong road" Fu explained
"Oh, god" Guren said
"Knowing Naruto's sense of direction he's probably walking around in circles" Haku said
With Naruto
Naruto was currently traveling through a forest when he came to an abrupt stop.
"Wait a minute I've seen that tree before" Naruto said as he pointed at a tree.
"That's because you've been walking in circles you moron!" Kyubi yelled in Naruto's mind
"I'm starting to regret letting you be able to talk to me" Naruto grumbled as he kept on walking
And why did i have to be sealed inside a container that always eats ramen and has no sense of direction,Kyubi thought
back with the others
"Yep, big brother is probably lost" yukimaru said
"Yep, lost" Ranmaru agreed
"Anyway, how did you get that fan" Kimimaro asked Fu
"Oh this, Naruto made it" Fu said
"He what?" Guren said
"Naruto got interested in weapon making, and this is how it turned out" Fu motioned to her fan
"He's actually pretty good at it" Fu commented
"Who knew, Naruto would be good at forging weapons" Guren said as she examined the fan
"Yeah" Gaara replied
"So what's this guy doing with you guys", Fu pointed at Utakata
"Oh well you see" Hinata said
"Utakata is a missing-nin and Hinata, Haku, Kimimaro, and Ranmaru met him while he was being chased by hunter-nins" Guren explained
"Where were you and Yukimaru" Gaara asked
"We got seperated" Guren explained
"Anyway, how about we just go to the next town and rest, since we can't exactly rest anywhere now" Haku suggested
"Sounds good to me" Fu said the others nodded in agreement
Later
The group of children were staying in their hotel room while Utakata was in his hotel room
"So where did you guys go when we split up" Fu asked
"We went to Amegakure, the village hidden in the rain and big sis, Guren, Haku, and Kimimaro were taught by really strong ninja" Ranmaru said
"Really? What were their names" Gaara asked
"Konan and Pain" Hinata answered
"So where did you two and Naruto go to" Kimimaro asked
"We went to Kumogakure, the village hidden in the clouds" Gaara answered.
"K-Kumo" Hinata stuttered
"Yeah, is something wrong" Gaara asked
"Well, you see when I was three Kumo tried to kidnap me because they wanted the Byakugan" Hinata explained
"oh" Gaara said
"So what did you guys learned in Kumo" Guren said trying to change the subject
"We met two other jinchuriki" Fu said
"Really which ones were they" Hinata asked
"Number two and eight" Gaara answered
"Really, what were they like" Haku asked
"I like Yugito-sensei but I think Killer Bee-sensei has some issues" Fu said
"What's so bad about Killer Bee" Guren asked
"He's a horrible rapper and everytime he talks he raps" Gaara said
"How bad could he be?" Kimimaro asked
"This is what he said when he told us that he was going to teach us: Hey you three, my name is Killer Bee, and starting today, I'm going to be your sensei. Yo" Fu explained
"..."
"That was our reaction" Gaara said
"What's even worse is that Naruto started rapping as well" Fu said
"Yeah" Gaara said and then a depressing aura started to wrap around the two.
flashback
"Yo! Naruto! I think you heard enough of my rap. It's your turn to rap," Killer Bee rapped
"uh-oh" Yugito said as she watched the two.
"Octopops ya got the best rap, I'm so happy to know ya, I'm one lucky chap" Naruto rapped
Oh No! now there are two of them! Yugito, Gaara, and Fu thought as they looked at the other Jinchuriki.
"Yo! keep the beat!" Killer Bee said as he stuck out his fist.
"Huh?" Naruto said looking at Bee's fist
"Just rap ya name, and bump my fist, ya game" Killer Bee said
"Yo! I'm Naruto ya know!" Naruto said as he bumped his fist with Killer Bee
Why is Kami so cruel, the others thought
end flashback
"So what did you guys learn" Hinata said recovering from the really bad rapping
"We learned how to control our Biju's chakra a little" Fu said
"That's good" Kimimaro said
"So what did you guys learn in Amegakure from this Konan and Pain" Gaara asked
"Here I'll show you" Hinata said as she took out an origami paper.
"What are you going to do" Fu asked
"Just watch" Hinata said as she started to fold the paper into a butterfly.
"Now watch this" Hinata said then the paper butterfly started to flap its wings and it was flying.
"WOW!" Fu said as she looked at the flying paper butterfly
"Konan-sensei taught me how to do that" Hinata said as the butterfly landed in her hand and then stopped moving.
"That's amazing" Fu said
"So, what did Pain teach you" Gaara asked
"Some ninjutsu, genjutsu, and also taijutsu" Haku answered
"That's good, so what's the deal with the Rokubi jinchuriki" Gaara said
"How did you know" Guren asked
"Shukaku"
"Nanabi" the two said answering the question
"Anyway how did Utakata become a missing-nin" Fu asked
"Haven't you been reading the bingo books" Guren said
"Sorry, I was to busy training with Yugito sensei" Fu said
"Utakata became a missing-nin by killing his sensei" Guren explained
"What did his sensei do?" Fu asked
"Utakata said that his sensei tried to extract the Rokubi from Utakata and use its power for himself" Kimimaro said
"but I don't think that's true thou" Ranmaru mumbled under his breath but Gaara heard him.
"Anyway it's been a long day how about we get some sleep" Fu suggested
"That sounds great" Guren said as the others got ready for bed.
"Ranmaru can I talk to you for a minute" Gaara asked
"Okay" Ranmaru said as he turned to face Gaara
"What did you mean by that you didn't think that Utakata's sensei didn't try to kill him?" Ranmaru stiffened at the questions
"Well you see" Ranmaru tried to explain
"Ranmaru did you know Utakata's sensei?" Ranmaru nodded a yes
"Can you please tell me when you met him" Gaara asked
"Well I met him a couple months before the villagers found out about my bloodline limit" Ranmaru started
flashback
Ranmaru was sitting in his home since, that's the only thing he could do. That was when he heard someone open the front door.
"Hello, is anyone here?" a man with long black hair and a mustache wearing a kimono and spectacles walked in and then he spotted Ranmaru.
"Hello" Ranmaru said
"Hello, little one, what are you doing here all alone" he asked
"I live here" Ranmaru answered
"Where are your parents" he asked
"They left me here" Ranmaru answered
"Then why don't you go outside, it's a beautiful day" he said
"I can't" Ranmaru said
"Huh?" he said
"I was born with a weak body, my arms and legs aren't strong enough to move me" Ranmaru explained
"Then how do you get food?" he asked
"The villagers are kind enough to give me food from time to time so I don't starve" Ranmaru said
"Oh, um, what is your name" he asked
"Ranmaru, Mr." Ranmaru waited for the man to give him his name
"Harusame" he answered
"Mr. Harusame" Ranmaru said
"Please, just call me Harusame" he said
"Okay, what's that" Ranmaru pointed at the bubble blower that Harusame was carrying.
"Oh this, it's a bubble blower, I use it for my soap bubble jutstu" Harusame explained
"jutsu?" Ranmaru said
"I'll explain it later" Harusame said
"So why are you here Harusame" Ranmaru asked
"I'm on vacation" Harusame answered
"Why?" Ranmaru asked
"I needed some time to think" he answered
"About what" Ranmaru asked
"You see, I have an apprentice, and I put a burden on him for him to carry and that was making me feel guilty and I was thinking if I should take that burden away from him" Harusame explained
"Well, what if your apprentice is happy with the burden you put on him" Ranmaru said
"Huh?" Harusame asked
"He might actually be proud that you trusted him with such a burden if it's that big enough to make you feel guilty" Ranmaru said
"You're right, but I am his master" Harusame said as he stood up
"Huh?" Ranmaru said
"You wouldn't understand since you're so young, but it's a master's duty to teach and protect his apprentice" Harusame said before he left
"That man's weird" Ranmaru said
end flashback
"And how do you know that person is Utakata's sensei" Gaara said Ranmaru then showed Gaara the Bingo book.
"The bingo book included the name of Utakta's sensei and it also included a picture of him" Ranmaru said as he pointed at the picture of Harusame
These bingo books are really handy, Gaara said as he looked at the Bingo book
"I know that I only met Harusame once, but I could tell that he didn't want to do anything that would hurt his apprentice" Ranmaru then felt Gaara pat him on the head
"I believe you Ranmaru, but Utakata is the one you have to make him believe, and it's not that easy trying to forgive someone that he thinks betrayed him" Gaara explained
I should know, Gaara thought as he touched the mark on his forehead
"But" Ranmaru began
"Ranmaru, get some sleep, then we'll talk to Utakata in tomorrow, okay"
"Okay" Gaara then helped Ranmaru get into bed
the next day
The group of travelers were currently taking a break from walking all day.
"Hey Ranmaru I want to show you something" Yukimaru told Ranmaru
"What is it?" Ranmaru asked Yukimaru then showed him the camellia flower encased in crystal
"Wow" Ranmaru exclaimed as he looked at the crystal
"Guren made it for me, it used to have a crack in it, but it's okay now" Yukimaru said
"It used to have a crack in it! but it doesn't look like it's been damaged at all, how was it fixed" Ranmaru asked
flashback
Yukimaru was currently wandering through the woods with Guren following close behind him.
"Yukimaru don't wander off to far, we don't want to have a repeat of last time" Guren warned
"Okay" Yukimaru answered, but then remembered something.
"Guren" Yukimaru said getting her attention
"Yeah" Guren replied then Yukimaru showed her the crystal she made for him.
"Can you fix it, it has a crack in it" Yukimaru handed her the crystal
"Oh" Guren looked at the crystal, "How about I make you a better one instead"
"But" Yukimaru said
"What?" she asked
"But I like this one more because it's the first one you made for me" Yukimaru said, Guren giving him a surprised face and then she traced the crack with her finger, fixing it.
"There it's fixed" Guren said as she gave the crystal back to Yukimaru
"Thank you" Yukimaru exclaimed
"Don't mention it"
end flashback
"Wow, I didn't know Guren could do that" Ranmaru said as he looked at the crystal
"Guren's a really nice person" Yukimaru said as he looked at the crystal
"We should get going now" Hinata said then the others started to stand up.
Yukimaru then tugged onto Gaara's jacket sleeve, getting his attention, and then pointed at Utakata.
"Fine" Gaara sighed
"Utakata" Gaara said getting the said mans attention
"I need to talk to you" he said
with naruto
I'm starting to get sick of this forest! Naruto said as he kept on walking through the forest.
How do you think I feel, Kyubi thought
"I CAN'T STAND THIS ANYMORE!" Naruto yelled and then he crashed into a person, causing him to fall to the ground. When Naruto looked at the person he crashed into. He was wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it and when Naruto looked at the persons face he saw a pair of red sharingan eyes looking at him.
