Naruko
That Ero-sannin and I made it to the city. It was big and bustling with life. I returned to my quiet, distant, self when we left the ramen shop. He talked to me, about how he was a student of the Hokage. And that he was a great shinobi, that I should be honored he was training me.
I looked at all the shops and allowed a smirk. I reached in my bag and pulled out my wallet. My mom had packed me some money before... well, you know. I was going to buy something, food, a toy maybe, or some new clothes... I need clothes since I left most of mine behind.
My wallet was yanked form my hand.
"This is quite a load you have here!" Jiraiya laughed.
"Yeah, now give it." I held out my hand. He shook his head.
"Did you know? One of the shinobi dangers is money." He said, he pulled out a hand full of money and handed it to me.
"Is that so..." I muttered.
"Yes. I'll watch over your money while were training." He told me, dropping my wallet in his pocket.
Well... I'm not gonna see that money again am I?
Back in Konoha
Asuma, Gai, and Kurenai were facing off against Itachi and Kisame. They were being badly beaten. They staggered up, ready to fight again.
"Do you think that girl had anything to do with this?" Asuma asked.
"I'm not sure..." Kurenai muttered.
"That doesn't matter now." Gai stood tall.
"Naruko had nothing to do with this." Everyone turned to see Kakashi. "Why have you come?" Kakashi asked.
"Naruko's uncle requests that she comes home." Itachi said.
"I'm afraid I can't allow that." Kakashi attacked.
The next thing he knew, Kakashi was trapped in a gen jutsu. Itachi was sticking swords in him. Asuma and Gai couldn't stop Itachi and Kisame from leaving. So they went to Kakashi's apartment.
Sasuke-
It was time to start training again. I had taken a days break. I haven't seen Naruko around... she must be busy. I walked up the stairs of Kakashi's apartment. When I opened the door I was met with the eyes of some of the most powerful Jonin in Konoha.
"What's going on?" I asked, I saw Kakashi, he was unconscious.
"Nothing, Kakashi's just not well Sasuke." Asuma said, everyone else was silent. I didn't buy it.
It was when I was going to ask what really happened when the door burst open.
"Is it true!?" a shinobi yelled. I could hear shushing from the Jonin behind me, apparently, this guy didn't hear them what so ever. "Itachi came back!?" He asked. My eyes went wide.
"What?" I breathed.
"And he's going to take back Naruko?!" That sentence had me jetting out the door.
Naruko. Where was she? Her house? I knocked on the door.
"Naruko? Come on! Open up!" I yelled.
"Sasuke?" I looked to the side. It was Sakura.
Sakura
I didn't know if Sasuke or Naruko liked sweets. I was going to give them to Sasuke... but Naruko was on my team, and she deserves some kindness. After all she's been through. I was on my way to where she was supposed to live when I heard Sasuke banging on her door and screaming.
"Sasuke?" I asked. He looked over at me.
"Where's Naruko? Have you seen her around?" He asked, a frantically. I shook my head. Then thought.
"I think I saw her eating ramen with someone else." I muttered.
"Thanks Sakura!" Sasuke turned and ran for the ramen shop. I guessed Naruko wasn't home. So I left.
Why was Sasuke in such a rush to find her anyway?
Sasuke
Ichiruka told me Naruko and the man she was training under were heading to a small city near here. So I ran and ran. I finally got to the city, there were so many hotels! Which one could she be at?
Naruko
I chewed the dango in my mouth while flipping through a book. I was told to meditate after Jiraiya left with some woman he met. I had a shadow clone meditating for me. I rolled around on the bed, my shoes were left on the floor next to my bag. I read the book upside down, nearly choking on the dango.
I sat up. I was so bored. I looked outside. The town below me looked like fun. But I had no money and Jiraiya spent everything that was in my wallet. In return he promised to teach me a move he learned. So I had to sit here, and wait for him to get home.
Sasuke
I ran into hotel after hotel, asking if a blond haired girl had checked in with a white haired man. They all said no. Except for one woman.
"i think I saw her when I changed shifts." She said, giving me a room number.
I ran up the stairs, I found the room and banged on the door.
"Naruko! Naruko!? You have to come with me!" I yelled, the door opened. And a small girl, who wasn't Naruko, was staring up at me. Her grandfather, looking at me with the same confused face.
I wanted to fall to my knees. But instead. I bowed.
"Sorry..." I muttered. Then, with a pained expression, "Wrong... room." I said, before leaving.
Naruko
I yawned, I was taking a nap now. I got up and started the book again. When a knock came on my door.
"Coming!" I yelled, spitting the dango stick out of my mouth. I opened the door and was faced with a familiar black coat with red clouds. I looked up.
"Hello." Came a bored voice.
"I-Itachi!?" I backed up some. Kisame was standing behind him, he smirked at me.
"Yo Brat!" He laughed.
"Stay the hell away from me." I tried to slam the door, but Kisame stuck his sword between the door and wall.
"Come now, partner." He said with a sarcastic edge in his voice. Itachi knelt down to be face to face with me.
"Your uncle wants you home." he said. I shook my head. Kisame grabbed my arm.
"You're coming by force if you resist." He laughed. Then he lifted me up by my arm.
Itachi and Kisame walked with me struggling to get free, Kisame had a firm grip. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks as they started to the stairs to leave. No one was there to help. Jiraiya was off somewhere. I didn't want to go back! They were sure to kill me. I didn't want to die.
I tugged and pulled on my arm that was still held firmly in place. Then, I saw someone walking down the hall, he was walking to the stairs on the other side of the long hall way. His head was low and he was sadly walking. I recognized that blue shirt, the white pants, that weird hair style.
I used my free arm to wipe tears from my eyes. I sniffled a bit and yelled at the top of my lungs.
"SASUKE! HELP ME!"
