Naruto Morgan's Journal

I don't know what happened on that ferry in Blackwater, I was on patrol around camp when it happened, but it seemed as if it was botched, from what I heard from Javier, is that there were Pinkertons all over the place and a massive shootout happened, we had to hight tail it to the snowy hills after the plan. I told Dutch that the plan was a bad idea since it was Micah's plan to begin with, but then again they never listen to me.

The wind blew very roughly up in the state of Ambarino, the cold dark sky filled with nothing but snowy storms was the place many dared to not go to, but without a choice a couple of wagon's are seen slowly traversing through the cold snow. In one of these wagons, a young blond was seen wearing a hat similar to that of his older brother exept instead of the rope it was an orange ribbon around it, this was Naruto Morgan.

The second child of the Morgan family, he wore a brown coat similar to that of Arthur and he had blood on his face, why did he have it you ask.

For he was trying to keep one of his friends, Davey alive, with the hlp of Abigail Roberts the pair did their best in the moving wagon. "Damn it, there's too much blood, I can't find the bullet." Naruto cursed as Abigail sighen in frustration. "Some of the snow is getting in the wound, I'll try and clean it." the pair did this so many times that it seemed they we're the doctors for the camp if patching up was needed.

"We're losing him, Abigail, Reverend Swanson, can you please tell Dutch that he's dying and that we need to find something before he dies." Naruto keeping his calm demeanor asked the Reverend who nodded as he got off the slow wagon, to walk up to the driver side.

"Naruto says he's dying Dutch. Says we'll need to stop somewhere." Swanson informed the Alpha leader, Dutch Van der Linde who grimaced at the news. "Okay, Arthur's out looking, I sent him up ahead." Swanson grunted in reply returning to the wagon. "He says he sent Arthur ahead." Swanson made his presence as Naruto switched spots with Abigail to help Swanson back into the wagon.

"N-Naruto." the blond and reverend turned back to hear a weak Davey. "Hey, hey buddy I'm here. You're going to be okay." Naruto stated sitting beside Abigail. "No I'm not going to make it...cough...they got me good I'll give them that." he coughed once more this time aggresively as more blood spweed out of his mouth.

"Did you find it, Abigail?" the woman turned and replied with a sad no. "I...I'm sorry Davey, it just went to deep." she stated feeling a bit teary. "No...it's fine. You both did you're best...but can you please do a favour for a dying man." they all perked to hear what he wanted.

"Anything." Naruto stated. "Can I get a whiskey." he chuckled with a smirk as Naruto rolled his eyes. "Sure, as a last request, sure. Swason." the reverend took out his pocket, a hip flask filled with whiskey. Giving it to Naruto who asked Abigail to level, Davey's head up nicely. Making the man drink he made a satisfied sigh.

"Thank you both...for making this dying Irish's last request." with that he passed out, checking the pulse he was still alive but slowly it became less readable.

When they made it to the camp, they said Arthur had found, Naruto got off the wagon as he put the stretcher down. "Need help there, little brother?" Naruto looked up to see his older brother approaching. "Quick Arthur he's dying help me carry him inside." the two Morgans carried the man inside the shelter sitting him on a table.

"Miss Gaskill get that fire lit quick." Miss Grimshaw the matron of the camp barked orders out, she was the sheriff that kept this entire establishment working like clockwork without him, they would have been a mess.

"What are we gonna do? We need supplies." Hosea questioned as Dutch spoke.

"Well, first of all, you are gonna stay here and you are gonna get yourself warm. I sent John and Micah scouting out ahead, Arthur and I are gonna ride out and see if we can find one of 'em." Dutch retorted.

"In this?" he questioned as the storm was pretty rough. "Just for a short bit." Dutch retorted.

Although he felt exhausted after helping out Davey up through the mountains and needing to help with the burial of Jenny, a girl from the gang who sadly was taken away too soon, Naruto had to ask, "Dutch, you need an extra gun for this search? I still have some strength to help."

"No way Naruto, not in this storm. You've done enough with the driving and Jenny's burial, I don't need you to be exhausted, son.." Dutch told him as the younger Morgan could only nod, it was reasonable he hadn't slept for the past two days and he was running on midnight oil.

Dutch decided to speak up and bring up morale as everyone listened to the alpha. "Now listen to me all of you, for a moment. Now we've had, well, a bad couple of days. I loved Davey, Jenny. Sean, Mac, they may be okay, we don't know. But we lost some folks. Now, if I could throw myself in the ground in their stead…I'd do it. Gladly. Now, we are gonna ride out and we are gonna find some food. Everybody, we're safe now. There ain't nobody following us in a storm like this and by the time they get here, well, we're gonna be long gone. We've been through worse than this before. Mr. Pearson, Miss Grimshaw, I need you to turn this place into a camp. We may be here for a few days. Now all of you, all of you. Get yourselves warm. Stay strong. Stay with me! We ain't done yet!" And with that, he and Arthur left to find John and Micah.

Naruto watched as Miss Grimshaw went to work she told the girls to bring out the blankets and check all the other cabins as she then turned to the blond. "Naruto, dear could you help Mr. Pearson set up the kitchen, I saw one of the sheds just outside, after that come back to rest." Naruto nodded. "Of course, Baa-chan come on, Pearson." The former navy now camp cook, followed the young gunslinger close by as at the door they we're met by Charles Smith, a member that had been riding with them for a few months.

"Oh hey Charles." He greeted his friend who seemed in pain as he forced a smile back, Naruto had been rather kind to Charles the kind of kindness he'd never expect from an outlaw but here he was Naruto Morgan in the flesh. "Hey, Naruto." The man stated as Naruto looked at the man's hand seeing it was bleeding. "What happened?! Did you get shot?"

"Yeah, a bullet kind of got me during the time we escaped, but I'll be okay." Naruto didn't believe a word, "Mr. Pearson I'll meet you outside." He told the camp cook. "Fine by me, I but come back soon, I'll need help to block the wind so I can start a fire." The man went out only to be hit by the cold weather. "Man it's cold!" he shouted with the door closed behind him.

"Come on, Charles." Naruto went over to Mr. Strauss, a member of the camp and Naruto's teacher. "Herr Strauss, ich habe neue frische verbände im medizinwagen( Mr. Strauss is there any bandages in the medicine wagon)?" Naruto asked in German as the man who looked up from his book with concern. "Did you get hurt Naruto?"

"Nein, aber Charles braucht sie (No, but Charles needs them.)" the man put his book down, "I'll go have a look, by the way it's good to see our lessons are in good use, huh." he smiled as Naruto nodded. "I could get used to this, it's a pretty nice language actually."

"Ah, what did I say, to me you need to speak in english that way-"

"I can learn faster as I'll be practising." he recited what Strauss had always told him since they began. "Good, follow me Mr. Smith." the two went out of the cabin as Naruto yawned a bit as he also got out. Helping Mr. Pearson set up his kitchen the blond sat down on a chair beside the fire as he began to drowse away. "Mr. Pearson you don't mind if I stay do you? This fire's kinda nice."

"Be my guest." Pearson replied as he sharpened his butcher knife. "I need the company anyway." Naruto nodded as he crossed his hands and took a little nap. Minutes slowly passed away and the burning of wood kept Naruto ashore, the trip was so long his muscles relaxed the moment he closed his eyes.

He was tired beyond repair, this was surely the first time he felt this fatigued. "Hey, somebody's coming!" Lenny Summers another member of the gang shouted as he was on patrol keeping an eye on the entrance of the camp. Naruto with his reflexes had his hand on his holster ready to take out his revolver, but Pearson stopped him. "Woah there cowboy, no need to get all worked up. It's just Dutch and them." from his vantage point Pearson was able to look through the snow and see them.

"You sure?" the man nodded as Naruto rested a bit. "Thank god, I didn't feel like shooting anyone at this moment." he stated as then Hosea was heard getting out of the cabin. "How'd you get on?" he questioned, turns out that Micah Bell another gun part of the gang, had found a homestead and at said place they found O'Driscolls.

Naruto was going to check what was going on, but this fire man was it so nice he just dozed off once more, not knowing a new woman had joined them.

"Naruto, wake up." the blond was awoken from his daze, fluttering his eyes, he noticed the fire was still burning only that it had ashes we're the wood used to be. "Could you get this coffee to everyone in the shed." Pearson stated, as Naruto turned to see at his work bench he had made a kettle of coffee.

Yawning with a bit of a stretch, the blond just got up from his chair and walked around the fire, it was still snowing like crazy outside but the sun was out, finally. Naruto took the pot and nodded to Pearson as he trudged across the snow going to the main house we're everyone was, opening the door with his charismatic grin he brought life to the quiet place. "Get you coffee, get your Naruto special coffee, folks. Only for five seconds of your time." Naruto smiled as everyone turned to the blond.

"Oh finally, I told Pearson to make that, hours ago!" Miss Grimshaw was the first to speak as she approached Naruto taking the kettle from him, pouring cups for everyone Naruto greeted everyone in the room as at that time Arthur walked in.

Abigail immediately got off her seat and went over to him, "Mornin' Arthur, how you doin'?"

"Just fine Abigail…and you?"

"I need you to-,"

Arthur scoffed, he knew what was coming, "It's little John. He's got himself caught into a scrape again."

"Come on Arthur, he ain't been seen in two days" Abigail replied. "Your John'll be fine. I mean, he may be as dumb as rocks and as dull as rusted iron but, that ain't changing because he got caught in some snowstorm!"

Hosea stepped in, "At least go take a look." Arthur sighed, "Javier, will you ride out with them, to take a look for John? You're the two best fit men we've got." at that time Naruto had given Javier, Hosea and finally Arthur some cups. Javier who took a swig of his spoke up.

"Now?" Javier asked.

Hosea motioned to Abigail, "She's…we're all…we're pretty worried about him."

Javier stood up seeing how Abigail seemed, "I know if the situation were reversed, he'd look for me." He walked over and handed Arthur a revolver.

Abigail thanked them, and they headed out. Leaving Naruto to continue handing out cups as at that time he then noticed the new blonde in the group.

"Hey, Baa-can, who's the new girl over there." Naruto asked as Miss Grimshaw looked over his shoulder to see he was motioning for the widow. "That's Mrs Adler, Dutch found him last night..." she told him the story that she was told much to Naruto surprise. "Damn, poor lady." he stated as Miss Grimshaw agreed. "Yes, poor thing, but for now go give her some coffee and talk to her, you for somereason have a way of making people open up to you."

Hearing that Naruto took the coffee from Grimshaw's hand and went on to the widow. "Umm mam." the woman looked up to see the smiling blond. "I brought you coffee, I'm Naruto by the way." he greeted with a smile.
