Chapter 23
"On the road again. . . can't wait to get on the road again."
"JOE IF YOU KEEP ON SINGING, SO HELP ME GOD I WILL-"
"Sorry. . . . . . 99 bottle of beer on the wa-"
"THAT'S IT!" Jiraiya and Naruto watched as Alasia chased Joe around as they walked along the path. They had left the village a while ago and were on their way to get Tsunade.
While the girls were busy, Naruto asked Jiraiya a question he was anxious to know the answer to. " Hey Ero-sannin, why are you the great toad sage bringing me along? Do I have a hidden talent! I'm right aren't I!"
The older man paused before answering him. " The 4th Hokage was my apprentice. You resemble him in a funny way." Naruto eyes brightened as a smile slowly grew on his face.
"Resemble. . . riiiiight." Joe appeared on the man's left, giving him a wink. "Kinda like how they look exactly the sa-"
Alasia quickly moved and elbowed the female troublemaker in the stomach. "Don't even think about it." Joe rubbed where she was hit with a pout on her face. Naruto was too busy jumping up and down, excited about being similar to his hero, to pay attention to what Joe was saying.
Eventually, the group arrived at an inn for the night. They had decided to share one room to keep down on the money spending.
"That pervy-sage. Shouldn't he be helping me train instead of chasing after girls?" Naruto pouted on the bed. Earlier, Jiraiya spotted a woman that gave him a flirtatious look and he practically ran after her.
"Aw don't worry Naruto! I bet you will be learning something really powerful from him in no time!" Joe was by the other bed across from him going through her bag. Alasia walked out of the bathroom when she joined in the conversation. "Yeah and you will be kicking that Uchiha's butt really soon." She gave him a smirk.
Joe nodded her head and smiled when a thought stuck her. Alasia watched as Joe's face paled and a look of dread washed over her. "Joe? What's wrong?"
Just then a knock on the door was heard. Joe's eyes widened. She let one word escape her lips. "Uchiha." Alasia's eye's widened then turned into a glare.
"That must by that stupid pervert. I'll get it." Both girls jumped up and dived for the door.
"NO!" They both yelled. Naruto stepped back in surprise, confusion written all over his face.
"Alasia, we need to stall until Jiraiya gets back and make sure Sasuke doesn't get to hurt." She whispered.
"Right. On the count of three we quickly open the door, get threw and close it without Naruto getting out. Ready?" Joe nodded.
"1. . . 2. . . "
"3!" They both spun around and threw the door open. Unfortunately Itachi blocked their path, keeping them from exiting. Joe decided to do some quick thinking.
"Little 'Tachi! How are you! You grew up so much! Look at the handsome devil you are!" She slung her arm around the man's shoulders and started to lead him away from the door. Needless to say, Kisame was shocked and Alasia sweat dropped.
In one swift movement, Itachi had Joe pinned to the wall, squeezing the life out of her.
"Joe!" Alasia went to help her but Kisame blocked her path, snickering at her. Naruto walked out behind her shocked at what he was seeing.
Joe stuggled against the Uchiha's grip, clawing at his arms, trying desperately to get him off. Itachi only tightend his grip.
Alasia quickly summoned shovel and pail. They were already in their fighting mode.
"Interesting sword you've got there." Kisame said.
"Shut up!" Alasia growled. "Naruto, I want you to stay back. These guys are after you because of Kyuubi." She looked over her shoulder at the blond to make sure he understood. She saw him nod his head. When she was turning away, she saw another person come around the coner. "Shit!"
"It's been a while, Sasuke." Itachi's cold voice sent shivers down her spine. Thankfully because Sasuke arrived, creating a distraction, Itachi's grip loosened and dropped Joe onto the ground. She sat there panting, her eyes closed tight from the pain on her neck. Freaking ridiculous. Can't even handle something like this without getting hurt. Joe silently fumed.
"Itachi Uchiha, I will kill you!" Sasuke's eye were filled with pure rage and hate. With his Sharingan activated, he got ready to attack.
"Sasuke! Listen to me *pant* this is no time *pant* to go after your brother! *pant* you can't beat him yet!" Joe tried to reason with the youngest Uchiha while catching her breath. He didn't listen. To him, he and Itachi were the only ones in the room at that moment. He created his chidori and charged forward. Naruto and Kisame all got out of the way as Sasuke got closer. Alasia quickly made her way over to Joe. Before she could see if her friend was okay, a loud explosion was heard and a dust cloud covered the area. When it cleared, everyone could see a huge whole in the wall, leading to the outside. Quickly, Itachi grabbed Sasuke and pinned him down.
Shoot! This is not good. I'm going to help Sasuke out! Naruto quickly started to gather his chakra gaining the girls and Kisame's attention. They could feel the kyuubi's chakra as well as his own.
"Naruto don't!" Alasia called out just has the shark man slashed his sword down. Naruto paused, a look of bewilderedness on his face.
"My Samehada eats up chakra. Now that you can't do any jutsu, you shouldn't be any more trouble. First of all should I chop of a leg or an arm." Kisame raised his sword again, ready to strike.
"Not on my watch!" Alasai jumped up, summoning Shovel and Pail, and blocked his sword. Kisame did out strengthen her so it was hard to push back. Then behind her, a big toad appeared giving her support. Jiraiya came walking with the woman from earlier unconscious on his shoulder, claiming how no woman can seduce him and his awesomeness.
That's it! Joe quickly stood up and screamed. "STOP!" Everyone froze and looked at her. Oh boy she was fuming! She glared at Itachi and Sasuke giving the weasel the 'if you don't get your hands of him, I will make you wish you were never born' look. Everyone in the room took a step back from her. Itachi reluctantly let go of his brother. Before Sasuke could do anything, Joe gave him a warning look saying to step away from Itachi. He did as he was told.
"Now listen up! I am tired of all this secrecy 'I'm not going to tell you important information to keep you safe' bull crap!" She started pointing at the group in front over her.
"Joe. . . you're not going to do what I think you are going to do, right?" Alasia gave her a questioning look.
"Exactly." Alasia's eyes widened. "Sasuke, Itachi was forced to kill the Uchiha clan by the elders because they were greedy sons of a guns and wanted to start a civil war to gain power. Itachi left you alive because he loves you too much. He made himself seem like a criminal so that the Uchiha's honor would still be intact and you could become stronger and get revenge." The shock on everyone's faces would have made anyone laugh if the situation wasn't so intense. "Jiraiya don't think you're off the hook. Naruto, Jiraiya is your Godfather. Your parents are Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, the 4th Hokage. They didn't want to tell you anything because they didn't want your father's enemies to come after you. The did it to protect you." She did the hand qutations around protect. "What a great job that did. Instead, you got Akatsuki coming after you. I digress, Jiraiya gave your father the name Naruto from his first book. He is your last family member. So Jiraiya start taking care of him!" Joe's adrenaline was going crazy now that she was just letting it all out.
"And another thing," She walked up to Naruto, and pointed at his stomach. "Kurama! I know you are listening! You treat this boy with respect. You hear me! He is going to one of the few humans who consider you a friend in the near future. That could happen faster if you fix that stupid attitude of yours! Is there anything else people should know! No? Yes?"
"I think you have said quite enough. Don't you think?" Joe felt a hand cover her mouth and an arm around her waist, holding her back. Everyone looked and saw a man in a hooded cloak with a tall staff. The man chuckled. "You really do know how to run that mouth of yours."
Joe lost it! How is this mess going to get resolved! Find out next chapter in Did We Just Scadoo!
