Hey guys, I'm back after so long... sorry for not updating, didn't have any ideas, and was just plane to lazy to do it XD. Anyways, here is the long awaited new chapter of Change.
……..Back with Kakashi and Naruto…….
Naruto sat there thinking about what Kakashi had just said, unable to discern what he had just heard. The resistance. What did the one eyed perv mean by this? Naruto decided to voice these thoughts.
"What the fuck do you mean by that?" Naruto spoke allowed, his voice showing his confusion clearly. Kakashi chuckled a bit before smiling at his young student, the only evidence being the u like shape his eyes took.
"Well you already know about Kumori and everything… But what you didn't know is that you aren't the only one fighting against him. All around the ninja world, there are a select few in every village, who are forming together to battle him. We call ourselves the Resistance. And you can normally tell who we are by the tattoos on our arms." Kakashi chuckled to himself as he showed his tattoo, the same one that the man who had sold Naruto his cigarettes previously had. Naruto stared at it for a few seconds before motioning to Kakashi to continue speaking.
"Oh right... anyways, for the past few years, Kumori has upped his Activity, and by doing so, several factions of our resistance have become more active. Basically there is a hidden war going on right now." Naruto's eyes widened slightly at this, before he looked downward thinking for a few seconds. Soon after, having collected his thoughts, he spoke.
"But how do you keep these wars hidden, because I'm sure that the leaders of the villages would have noticed that there ninjas where dieing." Kakashi chuckled at this, before he looked upwards before speaking.
"Naruto have you ever wondered why, in the past 15 or so years, there have been more Missing Nin declared than at any other time in history?" Naruto shook his head at this, never even thinking about it. Kakashi chuckled once more before he continued.
"That's because... for the protection of keeping this war hidden, and for keeping loved ones safe... Most nuke-nin leave there villages to fight in this war. Hell... and I can't believe I'm saying this... but Akatsuki itself is one of the main resistance groups." Naruto's head shot up at this, thinking quickly. His thoughts swirled in a torrent in his head, before swerving around in front of his eyes. Naruto shook his head. Organizing his thoughts, putting off this new information for use at another time.
Sighing Naruto looked down again, thinking of what to say. After several minutes of having no clue what to say, he said the most obvious thing he could.
"What dose the resistance want with me…?" He spoke softly and quietly as he looked downward still, his eyes never leaving the same spot on the ground. Kakashi looked upwards, before speaking.
"We need you to fight along side us Naruto…" Naruto looked at Kakashi for a few moments, before sighing once more, standing up. Everyone in the room looked at him, each thinking the same thing. If he will fight with them.
Naruto however, was thinking very different thoughts, ranging along several topics. If he should fight with them, if he should abandon the village for a greater cause then his selfish wants, if he should just ignore there request. If if if, the questions swirled around in his head, a jumbled mess of things without answers. Sighing Naruto looked down, speaking in a quiet voice.
"Give me a few hours to think Kakashi…" With that he walked to the door, opening it as he walked out. The others in the room looked at each other, Kakashi speaking first.
"Well it could have gone worse ya know." Ryu chuckled slightly and nodded, sitting down in the spot Naruto Previously occupied. It was gonna be a long wait.
…..With Naruto…
Naruto walked and walked, having no clue where he was going, but soon found himself at the Hero's monument. Memories of this place flooded into his head, flashing in front of his eyes for a few seconds before Naruto shook his head, driving them from his thoughts.
With a sigh, Naruto flopped onto his back, looking up into the stars, having just realized it had become dark outside. Yawning slightly, he thought over the events of the day, still pondering on what he should do.
HE had no idea how long he sat there, but it had to have been a few hours, because his ears picked up the sound of approaching footsteps. Looking at the source of the sound, he saw the boy called Ryu approaching him slowly. They both looked at each other, Ryu being the first one to speak.
"What up…" It was lame, it was basically stupid, but it started the conversation. Naruto looked back up at the stars, before he himself spoke softly.
"Not much... wondering what I should do…" Ryu laughed slightly at this, sitting down next to Naruto, looking upwards as well, The silence so loud that it hurt both of there ears. Ryu was the one to break it, having soon become fed up with it.
"You know… you're already leaving the village… and you have no reason not to join up with us…" Ryu said, glancing down at the blonde boy next to him. Said boy lay there staring upwards silently, his eyes dull and lifeless. Silence once again dominated there conversation, but this time Naruto was the one to end it.
"I'll do it…" Ryu looked down at him in slight surprise, before smiling and looking upwards.
"I'm glad; we really do need your help you know." Those where the last words said between the two, as shortly after Ryu stood and walked away silently, leaving Naruto laying there, where he eventually fell asleep.
…the next morning…
Naruto was awakened by quickly approaching foot steps. He opened one eye slightly, his sense of danger suddenly blaring. Flipping himself up onto his feet, he barely avoided the Kunai aimed at his hand. Landing in a stance he glanced around, and was most defiantly surprised at what he saw.
Standing in front of him was the Third hokage, As well as two squads of ANBU, and an ANBU commander. Growling slightly to himself, Naruto glanced at them all, before voicing his thoughts.
"Hokage-sama... what is the meaning of this…?" Naruto looked over all of the Ninja slowly, wondering what would happen. Soon after asking the question, The Third spoke again.
"I am sorry Naruto... but I cannot allow you to leave the village again. I will have to subdue you and place you in confinement for now. I am sorry." With that the ANBU all slid into stances. Naruto growled slightly, his hands sliding outwards as his two blades would form in them. Both sides stood silently for a few seconds, before both where about to make a move. But before they could, a voice rang out.
"Meh, Fuck yo couches, can't believe you guys almost started without so." The voice rang out from the nearby tree tops, and as everyone turned there attention to it, Ryu reviled himself, along with Turo. The Thirds eyes narrowed slightly, before he voiced his thoughts.
"Who are you?" Ryu chuckled slightly before flipping down and landing next to Naruto Softly, Turo following shortly after. Ryu grinned at the ANBU and Hokage, before he would let his hands fall limply to his sides.
"Well you may know me, may not... the names Ryu." He said with a grin. The people standing across from him all tensed slightly, before the hokage spoke, his voice low.
"Ryu "Lost" Kage?" Ryu chuckled once more before bowing slightly, smiling. At this moment, out of Ryu's sleeves fell… Chains. Dull and black, they reflected no light as he gently moved his hands, jingling them slightly.
"The one and only old man… and this here is Turo… Other wise known as Turo "Black Wolf" Ichiran." Turo then bowed slightly, as he would flick his wrists slightly, black gauntlets suddenly appearing on them. Now the ANBU and hokage where tense. Naruto grinned slightly before speaking.
"What the fuck took you two so long, I've been waiting forever." Turo chuckled slightly as Ryu laughed openly before turning his head to look at Naruto.
"Bitch please, we where out getting cigarettes." Naruto grinned more before spinning his blades slightly.
"Well your gonna share those after where done here." Ryu laughed again, jingling his chains once more before speaking.
"Fine fine, I'll share. But why don't we get this party started." Naruto and Turo grinned at this, tensing slightly. That was all it took for the ANBU and hokage to realize that a fight was coming. The hokage sighed slightly before giving the command.
"Attack them… Kill if needed…" And with that the ANBU got ready to charge, but right when they where about to, several things happened at once.
Turo's body seemed to blur slightly, then looked as if it had been cut in half without the blood or gore. Then, suddenly, he disappeared. Naruto looked at that spot slightly, wondering what happened and where Turo went, it was Ryu who answered the question.
"He Glitched, I'll explain it later." Naruto nodded, as the next thing happened.
Ryu looked downwards slightly, grinning as he flicked his wrist slightly, whispering under his breath.
"Shatter." With that his chains seemed to fall apart. He once again flicked his wrist, sending the small bits of chain at several ANBU. Two of the four ANBU who he attacked managed to get away; the other two weren't quiet quick enough. They were Hit by the chain pieces, the small bits of metal imbedding themselves in there body. Ryu then grinned and spoke again.
"Connect" the ANBU seemed to twitch slightly, as the chains then ripped themselves through there bodies, connecting on there insides. Ryu grinned and yanked his chains back, leaving the two ANBU to fall to the ground bleeding. Then Ryu Glitched as well.
The battle was on.
…With Naruto…
Naruto looked at his opponents. Two ANBU and an ANBU commander. The Third was no where to be seen. Naruto sighed before he charged at the ANBU. All three ANBU tensed seeing him coming.
Naruto approached the first ANBU, a Captain, and Sliding onto the ground suddenly, launching a kick at said ANBU's stomach. The ANBU reacted quick enough and caught the kick, but Naruto flipped his body side wais, launching another kick, shattering the ANBU captain's jaw, before landing smoothly on his hands and flipping back onto his feet.
He immediately had to dodge, as one of the other ANBU, the regular squad member, slashed at his mid section. Stepping back he barely avoided the attack, His blades forming in his open hands as he slashed at the ANBU, catching him off guard and disabling him with two quick cuts to his chest and stomach.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw the ANBU commander forming hand seals, and jumped upwards right as the ANBU called out the Jutsu.
"Suiton: Suiryuudan no jutsu" Out of the ANBUS mask came a Giant Water Dragon heading right towards him. Panicking suddenly, he brought his blade in front of the attack; the only thought passing into his head was 'Wind'.
What happened next surprised everyone.
Naruto swung his blade at the water dragon, not excepting anything to happen. But as his sword was swung, it seemed to... generate… its own wind. Throwing the blade of wind at the water dragon, it cut right threw it, hitting the ANBU commander unexpectedly, knocking him out and leaving him with a giant Gash.
The Other ANBU, seeing this, Vanished. HE had to report what had just happened to the Hokage.
…Same time, with Ryu…
The ANBU all glanced around, wondering where the other boy had gone. Suddenly there he was, standing next to one of the ANBU, launching a kick at his jaw. The kick connected, knocking out a few teeth, as well as the ANBU, who went down cold.
The other ANBU all moved towards him, But Ryu was already in action. Flicking his wrist once, his chains shot out, wrapping themselves around the necks of two ANBU, smashing them together, and knocking both of them out. Ryu grinned and turned towards the remaining ANBU.
He flicked his wrists, his chains sliding back up his sleeve as he slid into a stance, watching as the ANBU charged at him. One of them sent a fist at his fist, which he dodged by leaning his head to the side, catching it and yanking the ANBU forward. Kneeing the ANBU in the stomach as he ducked downwards to avoid another blow by the other ANBU, he picked up the first ANBU, swinging his body around, slamming it into the other ANBU, knocking them both out.
Glancing over at Naruto, he turned just in time to see Naruto's remaining ANBU vanish. Swearing under his breath he dashed towards Naruto.
…Same time, with Turo…
Turo reappeared next to one of the ANBU he was facing, sending a punch into said ANBUS face, knocking him out cold with his gauntlets. Landing gracefully, he ducked down under the kick of one ANBU, charging forward suddenly, upper cutting said ANBU, sending him flying back.
He turned and leaned back, barely dodging another ANBU's kick, reaching up and catching the leg. He kept bending back, taking the ANBU with him, his head barely above the ground as he flipped. Landing on his feet, he turned around barely, slamming the ANBU, who was still in the air, into the ground with a meaty crunch.
His instincts kicked in full drive, making him jump over the attack from behind, landing on the sword that was mend to slash into his back. Launching a kick backwards, he caught the ANBU in the jaw, sending him flying backwards. Landing softly he glanced around, turning just in time to see Ryu run to Naruto. He sighed and glitched out, appearing next to Naruto just as Ryu got there.
…back with Naruto…
Naruto cursed under his breath, mad at himself for letting the final ANBU escape. He turned in time to see Ryu run to him, and was slightly shocked when Turo appeared next to him. Ryu was the first to speak.
"We need to leave, now." The other two nodded before all three took off towards the wall. Jumping over it suddenly, they landed on the other side softly, taking off into the forest.
Seconds later, the Hokage, and half of the ANBU division would arrive on the scean. Hours later, the Bingo book would be updated, Listing Naruto Uzumaki as an A class missing ninja.
…With Naruto…
Naruto and the other two boys had been running for hours. They wouldn't stop until they got passed the Fire countries borders. Soon after the thought of how much longer, they finally passed the borders, moving a safe distance away from them.
Ryu pointed to an open clearing as all three boys landed with almost perfect unison. Panting slightly Ryu chuckled as he flopped onto his back. Naruto grinned slightly sitting down. Turo... well he rarely dose anything.
Yawning slightly, Naruto looked at Ryu before speaking.
"Cigarettes… now…" Ryu blinked before taking out his pack, giving one to Naruto and putting one in his mouth. Naruto searched around for a lighter, as Ryu looked on amused. After some time of searching Naruto gave up, and was about to ask Ryu for a lighter when Ryu reached over and put his hand under Naruto's cigarette, snapping his fingers once. A small flame appears on his finger as Naruto lit his cigarette.
"Thanks" Naruto said taking a deep drag, exhaling slowly as Ryu nodded, doing the same. They sat in silence for awhile before Ryu broke it yawning.
"Temari of the sand… Or Tsunade?" the other two boys looked at him, Turo groaning slightly as Naruto looked puzzled. Finally he decided to voice his thoughts.
"What?" Ryu chuckled and spoke.
"Which one of those girls would you rather have in bed?" Naruto blinked once more, looking at Ryu strangely. Turo sighed and spoke, his voice as cold as ever, with a hint of humor.
"Sorry about that Naruto… Ryu has this habit o—"That's as far as he got before Naruto spoke.
"Temari… I like my girls to be a lil wild and around my age." Ryu looked at him like he was crazy.
"Whaaaaat? Come on man, Tsunade has the big tits, and she has more experience." Naruto nodded, conceding this point before he spoke again, taking another drag.
"True True… But exhale Temari also has pretty big ones, and she's not hiding behind a mask of prettiness. She has the real thing… and something gives me the impression she'd be kinky." Ryu shrugged nodding, as they fell silent. Turo couldn't believe that Naruto had continued the game. He thought it was over when Naruto spoke again.
"Kurenai Yuhi or Shizune, Tsunades apprentice?" Ryu thought this over for a few seconds, as did Naruto, before both spoke in unison.
"Kurenai... Defiantly." Turo groaned loudly, making the other two boys laugh loudly. They decided to camp there for the night, as traveling just seemed so... un-fun to them right now. They where after all… just teenagers.
…very…strong…awkward teenagers of course.
…but still teenagers.
…the next day…
Naruto yawned as he opened his eyes, rubbing them slightly as he stood up. Looking around he saw Ryu still laying there, snoring slightly and Turo no where to be seen. Suddenly an aroma drifted to his nose, causing him to turn around.
There was Turo cooking… something. Walking to the other boy he sat down, yawning slightly as he spoke.
"What's for breakfast?" Turo looked at him slightly, grinning as he spoke.
"Your mom." Naruto twitched slightly before muttering something that sounded distinctly like 'fuck yo couch' but Turo couldn't tell. Naruto then reached into his pocket, cursing slightly as he stood. Walking over to Ryu he fished around Ryu's stuff, taking out the pack of cigarettes, walking to the fire and lighting it using the flames.
Taking a long drag, he exhaled slowly before grinning in satisfaction. They sat in silence for a few minute; the only sound was the fire crackling slightly. Naruto broke the deafening silence first.
"Man oh man I love this feeling." When Turo looked at him strangely he spoke again, "Having a cigarette in the morning... almost as good as having one after you eat, close but not quiet as good."
Turo chuckled slightly as he kept cooking…whatever it was. Naruto, at that moment remembered to ask what it was he was gonna eat.
"Seriously dude, what is it?" Turo sighed slightly before he spoke.
"Deer." Naruto made an 'ohhh; like sound before taking another drag, exhaling slowly. That was the moment Ryu decided to awaken. Walking over to them and lighting his own cigarette as he sat down.
"Mm something sounds and smells good" all three boys chuckled at that, and Naruto was about to speak when his ears twitched. He was about to open his mouth to speak when Ryu beat him to it.
"Yeah we both noticed Naruto... don't say anything about it." He yawned taking another drag of his cigarette, as Turo then spoke, a bit loudly.
"I'm a go take a fucking piss…" He then stood and walked off, leaving Naruto and Ryu sitting there. Moments later there was a sudden sound, as Naruto calmly reached up and caught a Kunai from the air. Turning around he glanced at the four figures that had appeared.
"Hunter nin huh." He yawned as he turned back to his food, moving it around slightly as he then stood, Ryu standing along with him. Both boys turned to look at the four ninja facing them, noticing the Konoha headbands.
"Hmm Konoha works fast, already got hunters on us huh" Ryu spoke out loud, yawning slightly looking at Naruto. Naruto nodded as he took another drag of his cigarette, before he also spoke.
"Meh can you guys come back later, where trying to eat here." Ryu chuckled slightly, nodding in agreement. Then hunters ignored them as the one leading the group spoke.
"Naruto Uzumaki, you have been charged with Treason against Konoha, you will come with us or we will kill you right now." All four hunters drew there swords as soon as he finished speaking. Naruto sighed and flicked his cigarette before speaking.
"I'm not coming back to Konoha, but you're welcome to try and make me." With that Ryu chuckled and smiled. All four hunters Nin where about to make a move when Turo suddenly appeared behind the leader, with a small blade to there Jugular vein.
All of the hunter nin glanced at Turo, before turning there attention back to the other two boys, only to discover they where no where to be seen. The question of where they went was soon answered by the blades at two of the other hunter ninja's throats.
"Seriously, you guys need to really work on your speed." Naruto said with a yawn. The only hunter ninja not in immediate danger panicked. It was his first job, and he had no idea what to do in this situation, so he stood there ready for action.
Naruto looked at the other two boys, before nodding. All three of them barely flicked there blades, just barely pricking the skin as the three hunter ninja fell to the ground, the quick acting poison in there blood vain knocking them out.
The remaining hunter Nin looked at them freaking out, as Naruto chuckled and yawned, walking back to the camp fire with the other boys. As the three of them sat down, picking some food from the camp fire, Naruto turned and looked at the remaining hunter.
"Well run along; go bring help from Konoha for your friends. By the time you get back we'll be long gone." He chuckled as Ryu nodded. The hunter Nin, finally coming to his senses ran off. The three boys sat there, eating there breakfast slowly, before finally taking off.
Two hours later the hunter Nin would return with ANBU support, only to find the boys words where true. They where long gone.
…outside of a city…
Naruto dropped to the ground with the other two boys looking downwards at the city. He looked at the other two and looked over there clothing, which needed replacing, as well as restocking there food.
"Alright, we got to get new clothes and stock up on food and supplies." The other two nodded, having thought the same thing. All three boys pulled hoods up over there heads, as they slowly walked into town.
They made there way to the clothing shop discreetly, buying new clothes and weapons. Each of them however, bought a custom trench coat that they would pick up in an hour. Walking out in there torn up clothes, they went and restocked every thing they needed too, before heading back to the tailors.
All three of them changed in moments, and meet up outside the shop, and all three where, surprised at each others appearance to say the least.
Ryu had on a long black trench coat that had flared sleeves for his chains. On the back was the kanji for "Lost", and along the bottom of the trench coat was blue flames. He had on a Vest, with armor underneath, and, horizontally across the back of his trench coat, was his Blade. He was wearing shorts that where black as well, and had heavy steal-toed combat boots on. He had on a ninja mask, that was black, and a pair of glasses that where also black.
Turo had on an ice blue trench coat, with the Kanji for "Wolf" on the back. At the bottom of the trench coat were black flames, and at his legs where two sheaths ideal for small blades. On his wrists where the gauntlets, and on his chest was a vest exactly like Ryu's only it was Ice blue. His pants where also ice blue, and tapped at the knees. He had an ice blue mask on, and blue lensed glasses covering his eyes.
Naruto had on a Blood red trench coat, and on the back off it was the Kanji for "fox" as well as a fox head on the hood. On his face he had on a blood red mask that seemed to have teeth painted onto it. He had on blood red pants as well, but not taped anywhere, and his blades where horizontally criss cross on his back. His trench coat had no sleeves, showing off something that no one knew he had yet, tattoos.
The tattoos on his arm where Black flames running up his arm, swirling around in an eccentric pattern, and at the bottom of both of them, on his hands there was a red fox, bearing its teeth. The fox was currently covered up by the gloves he was wearing. He also had on a pair of blood red sunglasses.
All three boys looked at each other grinning, before walking out of the shop. Needless to say they gathered much attention from people passing by them as they walked, each grinning under there masks. And each had the same thought in there minds.
'Man oh man it's so fun to look bad ass.'
Unknown to them, many other people thought so, and most stayed away from them, though some of the local thugs saw an easy target, being unable to spot a Shinobi if one slapped them in the face.
But they didn't care about that, they didn't care about thugs, battles, World saving or any of that. Today all they cared about was being teenagers, and that was what they where gonna be, even if only for a day.
Naruto chuckled as he walked, taking in the sights and sounds, joking with Ryu, who suddenly stopped and stared as a girl walked by. Whistling slightly, Ryu chuckled and kept walking with them, Turo sighing and muttering something.
Laughing Naruto smiled at his two friends, who where quickly becoming like brothers to him, who would always be there for him, someone to keep safe and someone who would keep him safe.
Unknown to him, the boys where thinking the same thoughts about him at that exact moment… Though Turo's thoughts where more along the lines of 'great another Ryu'. They just kept walking till Naruto spotted a ramen stand and ran to it, dragging the other boys along.
…Later that night…
Naruto, Ryu and Turo decided to stay in the town for awhile and where now exploring it. They where running around, joking and pushing each other, basically being normal teenagers for a change. That all changed in an instant, when a scream pierced the air.
All three of there heads turned in the direction it was coming from, and Ryu was the first to take off, the other two boys following soon after. They ran through the streets at a fast pace and eventually turned into an alley.
In the alley, they saw a group of thugs standing around a girl, five in total, laughing at her as they grinned and drank. Ryu growled out, before speaking.
"Hey, faggots… leave her alone." The thugs all turned to see him. But what they saw was a teenager playing with daddy's sword… easy pray. The first thug laughed and charged them, his teeth shining dirtily in the moon. Launching a fist at Ryu's face, and excepting a meaty crunch of fist on bone, he was instead given the pain of having every bone in his body shattered. Ryu let go of the mans hand before vanishing.
He appeared in the middle of the thugs, kicking one in the mouth as he spun, dropping down and upper cutting another, flipping over that one and landing behind another, kicking him in the knee, shattering it as he gripped the last one, smashing him into a wall. All five thugs lay on the ground moaning.
The girl stood and looked at Ryu terrified, before muttering a quick thank you and taking off. Naruto looked at Ryu in confusion before speaking.
"Why did you react so angrily to that?" Ryu looked at him before speaking.
"My sister was raped and murdered along time ago.., people like this piss me off so much its not even funny…" he spit on one of the thugs as they left the alley. It was time for them to go and leave the town.
They took to the rooftops and where gone in minutes.
…The next day…
The three boys were running through the trees when once again, a scream was heard. All three boys took off in the direction of the scream, coming upon the scean of three nuke-nin's surrounding a female ninja. None of them had the mark of the resistance, so all three boys dropped down. Ryu muttered to them quietly.
"Let me handle this… it looks like fun…" With that he walked behind the ninja, clearing his throat loudly. The ninja all spun around, wondering how he snuck up on them. That alone showed this boy was a ninja, but two of the three nuke-nin took no notice, the third dropped back slightly, watching.
"Tcht what have we here… a boy playing ninja?" said one of the ninja chuckling as he eyed the sword on Ryu's back, "that's a nice piece of metal you got there boy… I think I'll take it." With that the ninja vanished, appearing in front of Ryu, sending a kick at his face.
He was, of course, surprised when Ryu caught his kick without trying. The ninja that had backed away glanced at Ryu and stayed silent as Ryu fractured the attacking ninja with his elbow before vanishing.
He re-appeared in front of the second ninja, slamming his fist into said ninjas jaw, knocking him cold immediately. The third ninja growled and vanished in a puff of smoke. Ryu chuckled and looked at the girl, the slash in her head band showing she was also a nuke-nin. Ryu walked to her and smiled.
"Your okay now... what's your name?" the girl looked up at him shaken slightly from the encounter. Looking past Ryu she saw Naruto and Turo and her eyes widened slightly before she looked at Ryu.
"…R-Rai…" Ryu nodded and smiled before looking back at the others and nodding, signaling them to come over. Naruto and Turo appeared next to him in the blink of an eye, startling the girl, who looked slightly younger then her.
"How... can you guys move so fast... your barely older then me…?" The girl stuttered out, making all three of them chuckle. Ryu was the first one to speak, smiling threw his mask.
"Years and Years of fighting and death, something that you'll learn and figure out about quickly, considering you're a nuke-nin now too… probably recently huh." Rai nodded and looked away, making them chuckle again. Ryu thought quietly for a bit, before asking something that shocked the other two boys.
"listen, if you head south two days and hit the mountains, near the summit of the largest one you will find a small hut where an old man lives… tell him that Lost sent you… he'll show you a safe place…" Rai smiled and thanked them, before heading off on her own. Naruto shrugged and kept moving on, putting the event aside for later, and Turo sighed and followed.
Ryu chuckled at his companions actions before following them smiling.
'Man oh man life on the road is fun and interesting' was the thought all three boys had at the same moment. And Thus all three of them took off, back to the road of which they where traveling.
Yawning as they walked, Naruto blinked and suddenly found out how… really… truly bored he was… and being who he was… he decided to become unbored… somehow…
"Hey guys?" He said with a questioning tone. The other two boys looked at him still walking, both grunting out lowly, signaling a what. Naruto looked up at the blue sky before he kept talking.
"What do you get when an irresistible force… Pushes against an unmovable object?" Both of the other two boys looked at him strangely as Naruto looked back, before both of them started to think of an answer.
The three of them kept walking, each slowly pondering the question, yet none of them having an answer, Naruto not caring what the answer was, Turo and Ryu over thinking it and getting frustrated.
…later that night…
All three of them where lying down to go to sleep. Naruto was about to drift into sleep when he heard a frustrated growl. Glancing over at where it came from he saw Ryu sit up suddenly, gripping his head before screaming out.
"FUCK YOU AND YOUR WEIRD ASS QUESTIONS NARUTO!" Naruto the preceded to laugh his ass off and it increased when a grumble was heard from Turo.
"Indeed…" Translated into Turo talk, which means 'mother fucking Naruto, this is gonna annoy me for SO fucking long, I hate your fucking guts… basterd child…" This made Naruto laugh even harder, as all three boys lost the urge to sleep.
Naruto stood up and took out a cigarette, and walking to Ryu, offering him one. The other boy nodded gratefully and took it, lighting them both as they sat there. Yawning Naruto looked upwards before speaking again.
"Hey guys… what happe—" that was as far as he got before the other two boys threw a whole assortment of things at him, knocking him onto his back as Ryu screams out.
"NO MORE STUIPED QUESTIONS!!" after a few seconds of silence, all three of them burst out into laughter, and didn't fall asleep for the rest of the night. That night, around that area there voices where heard, and many stupid questions where asked, among them where…
'Why did god make the platypus?'
'Why cant teens smoke?'
'Why cant teens drink?'
'Why are girls bitchy sometimes?'
'Why do parents always use "because I said so"?'
Yes for them, it was a very good night to be a teenager.
…a week later…
Squgrumble.
It just wouldn't shut up…
Groansqush.
The mother fucker just wouldn't shut up…
GROAMGRUMBLE.
Naruto, Ryu and Turo all had the same though 'shut the fuck up' as they continued to hear the sound emitting from there mid sections.
They where hungry, just a bit.
GRUMBLESQUISH.
Okay so there reaaaaly hungry.
But they face a problem… they have no money, and are too hungry to hunt. Sighing as they walked into the next town, aromas of food hitting there noses and assaulting there senses. Naruto groaned out unhappily before turning to the other too.
"Okay... we got to figure out a way to get food…" The other two boys nodded in agreement before they sat down on the side of the road to think, groaning every time there stomachs grumbled.
Two hours later, they still had no ideas.
Suddenly Turo sat up from where he had slumped. Glancing at the other two boys he spoke.
"Talents… something where good at, we do it in front of a crowed for money." The other two boys nodded thinking this over, before deciding they needed to figure out what they could do.
Naruto sighed and stuck out his hand. Smoke sizzled as he took out his guitar, strumming it slowly in a nameless tune, Music always helping him think.
Ryu looked at him suddenly, blinking before he too pulled out a Guitar, Strumming with Naruto. This made Turo blink a lot before grinning and speaking.
"Both of you stop… we'll play music for money." Both boys looked at each other and shrugged before nodding, and thinking of what songs to play. Naruto just kept strumming slowly, playing one of the few songs he knew. Suddenly as they played Ryu shut up, listening to the melody.
Moving his fingers over the frets, he started playing the exact same song as Naruto, who looked up suddenly and nodded. Then both boys started singing in unison, Turo looking at them in awe.
She could be money, cars fear of the dark
Your best friends are just strangers in bars
Whoever she is
Whoever she may be
One thing's for sure, you don't have to worry
Naruto's fingers moved over the frets slowly, playing the song as he sang, stopping after they where done with the course. Both boys looked at each other and grinned. Turo grinned as well before speaking.
"Now we need a place to play." Both boys nodded, and Naruto's head shot up, pointing down the street. Both boys followed his line of sight, but didn't see anything.
"When we came into this town, there was an open space where a ton of people where, we can play there." Both of the other boys nodded before all three headed in that direction.
…15 minutes later…
People walked by about there business, a young boy chased a ball, and old woman haggled over prices. Basically the typical day. Then suddenly, in the square music rang out. Everyone turned there head to the middle of the town square, and saw something new.
Two boys where sitting on the fountain in the middle of the town square, strumming there guitars slowly, there fingers moving over the frets expertly. They played a nice kinda happy kinda sad melody, and it captivated people. And the effect was increased when they started to sing.
I thought I had my girl
But she ran away
My car got stolen
Now I'm gonna be late
For work this week
Make that the fourth day straight
But I'm fine with it
Naruto and Ryu sang in unison, strumming the song perfectly as they smiled, looking down at there guitars. Playing every chord and string exactly as they needed too. And it was beautiful. The sound resonating from the guitars struck deep within peoples hearts, captivated them and pulled them in. it was like something drew them to the boys playing, something they couldn't explain, something they didn't understand, and something they didn't even care about.
I thought I had it all
But I gave it away
I quit that old job
Now I'm doing okay
Those material things
They can't get in my way
Cause I'm over it
But wherever she may be…
Suddenly, the music got slightly louder, and the boys sang louder as well, there notes resonating off the walls, as every man woman and child in the square went quiet, watching them. By this point neither Ryu nor Naruto even noticed that they where being watched, they where to lost in there music to care anyways.
She could be money, cars fear of the dark
Your best friends are just strangers in bars
Whoever she is
Whoever she may be
One thing's for sure, you don't have to worry
People huddled closer to watch as the boys smiled still singing, there fingers never ceasing to move over the frets. Smiling and never ceasing to play, they kept on singing, music in there souls. They were completely consumed by the song, and the music was there heart, there soul, there body, there mind.
And this is the part where you find out who you are
And these are your friend
Those who've been there from the start
So to hell with the bad news
Dirt on your new shoes
It rained all of May to the month of June
But wherever she may be
And during all of this… Naruto's thoughts drifted to Hana. He didn't know why, he should just forget about her… she obviously forgot about him. She did say she hated him, and he took it to heart. His voice got louder as well as Ryu's, but his held more pain. His voice held the misery, the hurt, the pain of a broken heart, and both Turo and Ryu could hear it, but they didn't voice on it.
She could be money, cars fear of the dark
Your best friends are just strangers in bars
Whoever she is
Whoever she may be
One thing's for sure, you don't have to worry
Ryu stopped singing suddenly, but Naruto never noticed, he was singing from his heart. Images of the brief time he had with Hana floating into his head as he sang, his fingers still moving over the frets, her face implanted in his mind as he sang.
And every day in every way
Oh she will look the same
And every care you used to have
Just seems to float away
And every day in every way
Oh she will look the same
And every care you used to have
Just seems to float away
To hell with your new shit
And weather or not
You think you fit in
The strumming stopped for a second, before it continued in full force, still with only Naruto playing, said boy now completely consumed by the music. Nothing around him survived except for his thoughts of her. Of this girl… who affected him so much… and who he shouldn't miss…who he shouldn't miss… but… who he did… who he DID miss… and who he couldn't understand why she affected him so much…
She could be money, cars, fear of the dark
Your best friends are just strangers in bars
Whoever she is
Whoever she may be
One things for sure
You don't have to worry
She could be rainy days
Minimum wage
A book that ends with no last page
Whoever she is
Whoever she may be
One things for sure
You don't have to worry
With that, the music slowly floated away, and Naruto finally realized he was so…Lost in his memories. Glancing around he noticed everyone was silent, and it embarrassed him slightly. Thinking he did a bad job he was about to pack up when someone suddenly shouted out.
"THAT WAS AMAZING" And soon after that followed the cheers… and then the money pouring in. Naruto and Ryu and Turo grinned, now having money to feed there bellies. Yes they did a good job, and they where all proud. They shouldn't have any other thoughts on there minds but food…
…so why couldn't Naruto stop thinking about her…
…later that night, Hotel…
Naruto yawned as he finished eating, Still thinking of Hana and not knowing why. Standing silently he grabbed his fresh pack of cigarettes, and, ignoring the looks from the other two boys, walked to the window and jumped on the roof.
Inside the room Ryu and Turo looked at each other, before Ryu sighed lightly looking down.
"I'll talk to him... in 15 minutes, because right now I think he wants to be alone." Turo nodded and kept on eating, Ryu looking upwards.
Outside on the roof Naruto lit up a cigarette, before taking a deep drag, his thoughts completely centered on Hana. What was she doing, did she know he was gone, did she find someone else…Did she miss him.
That last question was the most present in his mind, the one that always bothered him. She had no reason to miss him, he broke her heart, and caused her to hate him… he should just forget about her and put her behind him… but for some reason… he couldn't.
His heart throbbed in pain every time he thought about forgetting about her… and he didn't know why. He didn't know a lot of things about her right now. Didn't know why he cared, why it hurt, why the very thought of her amazing eyes and cute giggle made him weak. Or why… the very thought of what she said that night hurt him so much.
Her voice was still ringing in his head, the words she spoke still hurt every time he thought of them, and the very thought of never seeing her again… was something that made him feel like he was dieing inside.
And suddenly it hit him full force, smack in the middle.
He missed her... because he loved her.
Right now… all he wanted to hear was her voice… all he wanted to feel was her touch… all he wanted to smell was her scent… all he wanted to taste where… her lips…ass he wanted to see… the only thing he longed so much to see…
…was her…
Suddenly a nose brought him out of his trance, and he turned to see Ryu land on the roof not far away and walk to him, sitting down next to him and lighting up his own cigarette. No words where said between the two, till Ryu spoke.
"I can see it in your eyes you know… you miss her… whoever she is." He exhaled the smoke from his lungs as he glanced at Naruto, seeing the blonde boy nod slightly, his face showing much pain. Ryu sighed as he spoke again, looking upwards as he did.
"What happened with you two anyways… it can't be good…" Naruto looked upwards as well taking a drag; Hana's voice suddenly blaring threw hiss head.
'I HATE YOU!!'
He winced just at the memory of it, sighing as he took another drag and laid his head backwards on the roof. After a few seconds of silence, Naruto spoke.
"I fucked up… I tried to rationalize me leaving the village… and said some stupid shit… and she said she hated me… and it's too late to go back and fix it now… she hates me and I can't do anything about it… even if she didn't hate me, which she doses… she back in Konoha now anyways…" Naruto sighed slightly laying there.
Ryu looked at his friend sympathetically, before taking another drag, exhaling slowly. He then did the last thing that Naruto thought he would. Bringing his hand up quickly him yanked Naruto up into a sitting position, and smacked him hard in the back of the head.
Naruto Yelped loudly and looked at Ryu who had a look of –your-such-a-fucking-idiot on his face. Naruto didn't understand why he had that look, and made it quiet clear that he didn't.
"What the fuck was the hit for, and why are you looking at me like that?" Ryu sighed and smacked him again, earning another yelp before he took another drag of his cigarette, exhaling slowly, then speaking, his voice sarcastic but completely truthful.
"Stupid ass, she doesn't hate you. She was pissed off at you for doing what you where doing, but she doesn't hate you. She said it in a moment of anger, and I bet if you asked her to forgive you, she would." Ryu chuckled and took another drag, as Naruto spoke.
"Well even so… she's backing Konoha, and we can't go back there…" Ryu chuckled and looked at his friend before speaking, a grin on his face.
"Says who?" Naruto blinked and looked at his friend, before realizeing what he meant.
"Ohhhhhh no, we can't go back there, we'd have hunters and ANBU after our asses!" Ryu chuckled louder and spoke again.
"So what, we'll sneak in and have some of the Resistance help us out in getting in and out." Naruto looked at his insane friend.
"Ryu are you fucking crazy?" Ryu fell onto his back laughing, taking another drag and replying as he blew smoke out of his mouth, grinning at Naruto crazily.
"The craziest mother fucker out there." Naruto chuckled and replied, Cigarette still in his mouth as he looked upwards at the moon.
"True that."
Both boys took another drag of there cigarette, both sitting there silently. The night set a shadow of complete silence so loud it rang in both boys ears. It was Naruto who broke the silence, speaking with disbelief in his voice
"So we're really gonna g—"
"Yup, we might as well, it'll be fun anyways. We'll leave for Konoha tomorrow." With that, the plan was decided. Both boys finished there cigarette's slowly, joking with one another, and after they finished looked at each other again, neither speaking for a bit. Ryu spoke first.
"Time to tell Turo." Naruto nodded and they both went inside.
…a few minutes later…
It was a cool clear night, a few animals scurrying around, a drunken man walking home, and perfect complete silence. At least it was till a scream rang out.
"ARE YOU TWO FUCKER INSAINE!?" Turo yelled at his two companions, who both where laughing there asses off. Naruto recovered first, speaking threw his laughter.
"In Ryu's words." Both boys chuckled and said at the same time.
"The craziest mother fuckers out there." Then they both fell down and kept laughing. Turo just looked at them for a few minutes till both of them cooled down, then he spoke again.
"You guys are serious right?" both of the other boys nodded, and Turo sighed before muttering something, "why the fuck do I get the crazy ones…"
Ryu chuckled and sat up, grinning to himself as he yawned, stretching slightly and smiling.
"Ight boys get a lot of sleep cause tomorrow we head to Konoha!" he said pumping his fist in the air and grinning. Naruto chuckled and walked to his room. Soon afterwards all three boys where asleep.
…the next morning…
Naruto Ryu and Turo all stood looking at the Town they stayed at, chuckling and turning back the way they had come from. Walking slightly from the town they took to the trees.
And after 3 hours of running… they where bored… insanely so.
All three lost in there thoughts, it was Ryu who broke the silence, singing suddenly, a grin on his face as he sang loudly and joyfully.
Bar tender I really did it this time
Broke my parole to have a
good time
when I got home it was 6 a.m.
The door was locked so
I kicked it in
She was tripping' on the bills
I think she was
high on some pills
She threw my shit out into the yard
The she
called me a bum and slapped me real hard
And in my drunkin'
stooper
I did what I should of never done
Now I'm sittin' here
talking to you
Drunk and on the run
The other two boys blinked, recognizing the song immediately, and suddenly Naruto grinned and Started singing too, dancing along the trees in an eccentric pattern, Ryu doing it as well, there voices ringing out over the trees, not caring who might hear them.
I'm sittin' at a bar on the inside
Waitin' for my ride on the
outside
She broke my heart in the trailer park
So I jacked the
keys to her fuckin' car
Crashed that piece of shit and then
stepped away
Turo just chuckled slightly, humming the song along with them, fighting the urge to just sing. Ryu and Naruto both noticed this and got really close to his face, singing in his ears.
You know mo I'll probably get ten years
So just give me beers
'til they get here
Yeah I know the sun is comin' up
And you all
are probably gettin' ready for closin' up
But I'm trying to drown
my soul
I'm tired of this life on a dirt road
And everything
that I love is gone
And I'm tired of hangin' on
She got me
sittin' at a bar on the inside
Waitin' for my ride on the
outside
She stole my heart in the trailer park
So I jacked the
keys to her fuckin' car
Crashed that piece of shit and then
stepped away
Turo grunted unable to resist anymore, and started to sing. But when he sung, Naruto and Ryu where stunned and didn't sing. Turo however didn't notice and kept singing, forming the words in a very, rapish like way, but with a good voice.
I guess it's meant to be
Romance is misery
So much for
memories
And now I'm headed to the Penitentiary
See me on
T.V.
The next cop series
I am a danger
I guess I should've
done something about my anger
But I'll never learn
Real things
I don't concern
I pour kerosene on everything I love and watch it
burn
I know it's my fault
But I wasn't happy it was over
She
through a fit so I crashed that piece a shit nova
Naruto and Ryu quickly broke out of there stupor and all three boys started to sing again, this time Ryu and Naruto's voice made Turo adjust his and the singing was perfectly in line. All three boys bounded through the trees laughing and singing.
And now I'm goin' back again
Back to the pen to see my
friends
And when we all pile out that county van
They'll ask me
where I've been
I've been at a bar on the inside
Waitin'
for my ride on the outside
She broke my heart in the trailer
park
So I jacked the keys to her fuckin' car
Crashed that piece
of shit and then stepped away
All three boys laughed loudly smiling and singing that song again, still running threw the tree tops. Soon they wouldn't be able to make any noise at all, so they decided to enjoy it when they could.
Bounding threw the trees, and despite the fact that the singing was taking his mind off of things, Naruto still couldn't get Hana out of his head. What was he gonna say, what was he gonna do. Sighing slightly, he decided he would wing it, and he was about to start another chores when he suddenly stopped.
They had reached fire country… from here on out they would need to be silent to avoid the patrols that frequented the areas.
…three days later, Hana's house…
Hana sat there on the bed, crying her eyes out and thinking of Naruto. How she would never see him again, how she had hurt him so much. She had been crying ever since he had left, and been declared a nuke nin. Snuffling she looked up at a sudden nose… but who she saw wasn't who she thought she would…
"Hey hana-chan…" Naruto spoke softly through his mask, staring down at the stunned girl, his frame shining in the noon sun. She couldn't believe her eyes
…one days earlier…
Naruto Ryu and Turo barely sneaked past a Konoha patrol, which were becoming more frequent the closer they got to the Village. They where about 3 hours outside of the Village, and had to stop and wait for Dark. Three hours later, they jumped over the wall, barely avoiding being seen.
Landing on the ground silently, they headed for a Resistance safe house. Knocking on the door in the right sequence they where let in and all three of them just kinda collapsed. The other fighters in the room helped them to there beds and then asked them what they where doing here.
Ryu explained the situation, and they started planning what they where gonna do. Eventually, after going through 50 billion long complexes and hard to pull off plans, they decided the three of them would sneak into Hana's house, which would be hard considering she lived at the Inuzuka compound. But they where gonna do it regardless.
With that all three of them went to sleep.
…the next morning…
All three boys where up at dawn, ready to put there plan into action. Nodding to each other they all left the safe house silently, moving with the shadows to avoid being seen. Soon enough they made it to the compound where Naruto went in alone, the other two standing guard.
All three boys knew it would take Naruto about 3 hours of careful movement to make it to Hana's room… and it was gonna be a long three hours.
…back inside…
"…N-Naruto-kun…" Naruto smiled and nodded, and almost fell over when Hana threw her self at him. He wrapped his arms around her and held her as she cried for a good 30 minutes. Finally Hana broke the silence.
"I'm so sorry… I don't hate you… I never could hate you… never Naruto…" Naruto held her closer and whispered quietly.
"Its okay Hana… its okay… you where just mad I know…" He smiled softly as she looked at him, noticing the changes in his clothes, mostly the mask. Smiling she reached up and pulled it down looking at him again.
Naruto smiled as well and held her… that's all he wanted to do right now was hold her… nothing more or less… but Hana apparently had other ideas, and she spoke them allowed to him.
"Naruto… I think I'm in lo—" Whatever she was about to say was interrupted by Ryu and Turo bursting into the room quickly and grabbing Naruto.
"We need to leave… like NOW!" Turo said franticly to Naruto, who looked at him questionably.
"What happened?..." Ryu looked downwards slightly, before he spoke quietly.
"well…it happened like this…"
…30 minutes ago, outside…
"I'm booooooooooooored." Ryu complained for the billionth time it seemed. Turo's eyebrow twitched as he looked at his companion before speaking.
"then entertain yourself…" Ryu perked up at this and grinned, Before taking out a can of spray paint, and running over to a shop wall, where he began to indulge himself in an old passion of his. Graffiti.
He was just finishing signing his work when an ANBU unit dropped down behind him.
"Hey that's illegal you know…" The ANBU said, making Ryu, who was lost in his Work turn around quickly. Looking past the ANBU he saw that Turo was asleep. Chuckling slightly he threw the bottle on the ground and spoke.
"I'll wash it off… sorry sir." Now normally that would have been it… but Considering Ryu has his blade on his back, and is wearing what he is, the ANBU decided that this was important.
"Remove your mask immediately." He commanded. Ryu frowned and reached up as if to remove his mask, but then suddenly disappeared. The ANBU's eyes got large as he reached for his radio.
"Intruders at the Inuzuka com—" that was as far as he got before he was knocked out. But that was all he needed. Ryu rushed over to Turo woke him up, told what happened and they both rushed to find Naruto.
…back to present…
Thwack.
And Ryu was on the ground, fallen cause of Naruto's smack. Naruto growled out slightly before sighing.
"Ight give me one more minute then we can go." Naruto's two friends looked at him and nodded, heading outside to fend off any attacks. Naruto looked at Hana and leaned in suddenly. And it happened…
He kissed her.
Hana was shocked, but soon kissed back, Naruto pulling away shortly after, looking at her and speaking shortly.
"I love you Hana, and I will see you again." With that, Naruto raced off, his companions following shortly after.
Thirty minutes later, they where gone and out of the village.
Running threw the trees Naruto looked back at the quickly fading village and the person he was forced to leave behind, sighing and running faster. Hunter-nin would soon be after them…again… and they needed to get out of there quickly.
And even with all of that… Naruto's only thoughts where of her…
Of His Hana.
MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you all like the new chapter? Man oh man I had fun writing it, though some parts may seem a lil erratic, this is basically a filler of sorts, where Naruto Ryu and Turo get acquainted and a lil bit of Naruto Hana fluff there.
Lolz anyways, yes people do Review, it actually dose help me update quicker, cause the more positive reviews I get, the more likely I am to update soon DD Anyways guys, yeah well guess what just happened!
So I wrote all of this right, then when I'm spell checking, the mother fucking Word freezes on me, and me, being the idiot I am, haven't saved. So I was freaking out, and didn't want to close it, but eventually did hoping and praying auto recovery works. AND IT DID WHOO WOO!! Anyways, now to re-write the parts that got deleted.
