Alright, here is yet an other chapter, the plot has really advanced in this chapter, also there are new bleach characters, i am also using some of there powers from the series since its almost like chakra anyway ;)
well i am very happy to see new reviews, and like always, here are my responses :)
xzavx - Once again thank you for your review once more, although i plan on having her parents make an appearance, Sakura herself does not live with them, she owns that small house, that's why i mentioned that for her age she made a bit of money with all her connections ;) please keep reading and reviewing :)
Ymere - an other regular reviewer :) , yes it is a romance story, but also i do have a plot that in this chapter has advanced, i hope you enjoy reading it :D
naturokurosaki - Thank you for the review, i hope you keep enjoying the story
Sakuraangel1327 - LOL, i am seriously thinking about it, once again this chapter has a scene that i could have went further with, but due to the fact i haven't changed to M yet, i had to stop, i guess my reason for sticking with T for now is because i have never written a lemon before, and it may take me a while to muster up the courage, but i will try :)
shyguy1818 - Thanks , i hope you keep reading and enjoying the story, also keep reviewing
Disclaimer – I still do not own Naruto, or Sakura, If i did, they would have gotten together much sooner in the series :P
This chapter was revised on May 19th 2017. Most grammar errors should have been addressed (Hopefully :P) I did a few enhancements and changed a few things around but the story remained unchanged
Saving old bonds
Chapter 11 (Revised)
Naruto was staring at Sakura; she was sleeping peacefully against his chest, he couldn't help but think about how beautiful she was, he could spend a life time just staring at her as she slept. He looked at the clock and it was just a few minutes passed 8. She slowly began to wake up "Good morning beautiful" He said with a smile
"Good morning handsome" She responded with a smile of her own as she leaned over to kiss him "How long have you been awake?"
"I never went to sleep; I spent the entire night just staring at a sleeping angel"
Sakura blushed a bit as she snuggled up against him, she was sad since she would have to eventually get out of bed, she had a shift at the hospital, and as much as she would want to just skip the day and spend it with Naruto, since Shizune was gone with Tsunade, she was the only one left running the hospital "As much as I hate to leave this bed right now, I need to take a shower and get ready to head to the hospital"
Naruto began to grin "Would you like some help in there?"
Sakura giggled as she threw a pillow at Naruto's face "Yes, yes we do!" Inner screamed out "Why? Are you offering?" She answered him teasingly as she pulled him out of bed and pulled him towards the bathroom
Meanwhile Tsunade and Shizune were in a heavily guarded room "Lady Tsunade, I believe it is safe to try and wake him now"
"Alright, do it" She simply said
Shizune took out a needle filled with a liquid and slowly injected it into the unconscious Mizukage, then they waited a few seconds. Slowly the man began to open his eyes "Where…Am... I?"
"Don't worry lord Mizukage, you are safe and you are in a port city of the Fire Country" Tsunade explained
"Lady Hokage?" The man said puzzled "How did I get here?"
"Myself and a team of ANBU saw your boat drifting near the coast, when we went to investigate, we found the boat to be in bad shape and everyone on it dead except for you" Shizune answered
"You must tell us lord Mizukage, what happened?" Tsunade asked, wanting answers "We sent a team to the water country to investigate, but we haven't heard back from them yet"
"Then your team is more than likely dead" The Mizukage answered
"What? Why would your people attack them? We may not be allies but…"
"No, not my people, the invaders" he simply said
"Invaders?!" Shizune almost screamed out
"The land of the Water and the village hidden in the mist have fallen to invaders that came to us as friends"
"Who! Who did this to you?!" Tsunade demanded to know, however, she feared she already knew the answer
"Well, well, well, it seems a mouse got away, that's too bad, I was truly hoping to have more fun this time" An unknown voice came from the door way
Everyone turned around only to find the Kurokage standing in the door way
"YOU!" The Mizukage screamed while getting out of his bed
"It would appear Renji failed his task to kill you old man" The Kurokage said cockily
"I knew that you were trouble from the first moment I heard about you" Tsunade responded
"Now now lady Hokage, those are hurtful words, I really wanted to be your friend. I was hoping you would just lay down your weapons peacefully to avoid bloodshed" he said with a smirk
"You're kidding, right?" Tsunade said in anger "We would never just lay for anyone!"
"Honestly, that's what I was hoping you would say"
"You're up against 2 Kage level opponents and many skilled ANBU ninjas, what makes you think you can win this battle?"
The Kurokage just smirked, suddenly 12 men and women wearing clothing similar to the Kurokage except with white cloaks over there black clothing, on each of their backs were numbered 2 threw 13, the Kurokage wore the number 1 "Meet my captains, they are more than enough to take on your so called ANBU" He said with a smirk
"Do not underestimate him or his men, they are much stronger then they appear" The Mizukage cautioned as he got up and stood beside Shizune and Tsunade ready to fight
"Rukia, Renji!" The Kurokage screamed out as 2 of his captains stepped forward
"Yes Kurokage Sama?" They both asked
"Renji, please finish what you started with that old man, Rukia, take the girl, leave the Hokage for me" He ordered
"Yes Kurokage Sama!" Rukia answered as she took out her katana
"I won't fail you again Kurokage Sama, this time, I won't let him get away!" Renji replied as he took out his own katana
"The rest of you, lead our men and take this city!" The rest of the captains disappear as Ichigo took out his own katana "Shall we dance Lady Hokage? Let's see who is better"
Ichigo launched an attack that Tsunade blocked by quickly taking out a Kunai, but she was barely able to deflect the massive katana, she needed more room to move in, she looked at her 2 allies and they nodded, all 3 of them jumped out the window fallowed by their attackers
"You're not going to get away from me this time old man!"
"Who said I was running away?" He said as water began to surround him "Now that we are on an even playing field, I will make you pay for what you did to me and my homeland"
"I defeated you once, I can do it again, you survived because you ran like the coward that you are!"
"I didn't leave because I wanted too, I was injured and my loyal ANBU forced me to leave, but this time, you won't be able to attack me from behind while pretending to be friends!" He began to attack Renji with massive water attacks
Meanwhile Shizune had lured her pursuer into the nearby woods and taken out 2 Kunais in each hand while Rukia stood in front of her "I do not wish to harm you, if you would just lay down your weapons, then this can end peacefully" She said in a very calm voice
"You want me to surrender? Yeah right! You're the invader here! I will not lay down my weapon or bow down to you or your backstabbing Kage!" Shizune answered in anger
"As you wish" She simply answered as she attacked Shizune without warning, she was barely able to block the attack as Rukia was using her size and speed to her advantage "Your too slow" she said as she appeared behind Shizune and almost cut her head clean off, however she was able to duck just in time
"Damn she is fast, if I don't watch it, she will get me for sure" She began concentrating chakra into her hands, she intended on using the scalpel technique, she went on the attack however Rukia was able to dodge all her strikes easily, she suddenly pulled on a string that released multiple poisoned projectiles towards Rukia, she used her katana to block them with ease, however Shizune used that as a chance to launch her attack she was able to strike at one of her arms and legs causing Rukia to take a few steps back to get some distance between themselves
Shizune let out a smirk knowing that she had cut the tendons of both one of her arms and legs, meaning her speed would be drastically reduced
Rukia looked at her arm and leg, but she still showed no emotion as she got into a fighting position again "I will commend you on actually striking me, I apologize for toying around with you, I should have taken this fight more seriously, a mistake that I shall rectify right away" she suddenly vanished from Shizune's sight
"How can this be?! I know I cut the tendons, so why is she still able to move so fast!" Shizune thought to herself as she went on the defensive, Rukia suddenly appeared behind her, Shizune barely had the time to block with her kunai, but almost as fast as she had appeared behind her, she was now to her left, she moved her left hand to block just in time, with extreme speeds Rukia is now to her right, Shizune had no time to block the attack, she waited for the blade to slice through her skin. It slashed her arm causing a massive injury as blood began to gush out and she screamed in pain. She tried to get some distance between herself and Rukia. She took a look at her wound, it was deep but she did not reach the bone. Rukia had not moved from her position, the blood was still dripping from her blade and her face still depraved of any emotions
"It's time we finish this" Rukia said coldly as she raised her katana up in the air and held it sideways in front of her other hand "Blue flames of destruction, level 30!" she screamed out as multiple blue balls of flames are made their way towards Shizune, she did her best to dodge them but a few of them hit her, burning her skin and clothing. She fell down in pain. Rukia appeared just above Shizune her Katana ready to strike, there was little she could do as the blade came down for her neck. But suddenly massive blocks of wood enveloped Shizune and the blade is stopped
Rukia jumped back expecting to be attacked by someone else, but no attack came. She lifted her hand in front of her once more "Way of destruction level 25" She screamed out targeting the wooden shield, it exploded into pieces. But there is no longer anybody inside of it. She put away her katana as she no longer sensed any presence around her area "It seems these people really are as coward as Renji claimed" She said as she looked at her injured arm and leg
Back in Konoha, Naruto and Sakura had both finished up their shower together and were now eating breakfast "So what are you going to do today Naruto?"
"Well I have a mission to complete" He answered
"What? I don't remember us getting any missions"
"Well I was asked to lead a small team for a patrol, I should be back by the time your shift is over" He said with a grin
"They are finally giving you a team?"
"Not really, I am just being put in charge of the mission since I am the only Jounin on the team, the rest are chunin"
"Well I know you will do great" she said as she kissed his cheek and cleaned up the table "Once you're done your patrol, come back here, I will cook us something nice for dinner tonight" She said with a grin
"I look forward to it Sakura Chan" he answered as he got up to leave, but before he could get out the door Sakura stopped him
"You're not leaving without kissing me goodbye, are you?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around him
"I wouldn't dream of it" he said as he held her tightly and kissed her passionately "Alright, as much as I hate to leave you, I have to go. I have to drop by my apartment to pick up my mission clothing then get my mission"
"I know, just be careful alright?" She said as he hugged him one last time
"Yeah, don't worry Sakura Chan, I will be back tonight" He said with his usual grin, he was finally able to bring himself to let go of her as he left the house, she just stood in the door way watching him walk away wanting to just run after him and join him on the mission. But she had responsibilities of her own, being the only medical chief the hospital has until Shizune comes back from her mission with Tsunade. All she can do is wait for Naruto to come back home, to which she grinned thinking about what she was going to do with him tonight.
Naruto was running through the village heading towards his apartment, he was extremely happy, Sakura loved him, she loved him! He was on top of the world, floating on a cloud. He just wanted to get the mission over with and get back to her. He arrived at his apartment and changed back into his regular clothing. He attached his headband back around his head and then headed towards the fire tower where he would receive his orders and meet his team.
Naruto arrived at the mission dispatch area of the fire tower, the elders were giving out various missions to other ninja's and teams, one of the elders saw Naruto walk in "Ah, Naruto, your team has been waiting for you"
"You're late Naruto Nii-San!" Said a voice Naruto recognized right away
"Konohamaru?"
Konohamaru grinned at him, beside Konohamaru was another chunin, it was a girl that Naruto had never seen before, she had blonde hair and green eyes, and was just a bit shorter then Konohamaru
"These two will be your team on the mission" The elder said while handing Naruto the scroll consisting of his mission orders, Naruto nodded as he read the orders
"Understood" he said as he put the scroll into one of his pockets "Alright team, let's head out" Both Konohamaru and the girl nodded as they leave for their patrol
