Chapter 9 So Weird
Naruto POV
"Naruto come on you have to get ready for the mission tower it's a punishment, not a vacation get up." I groaned as I let my head slowly rise off of my pillow I could hear Iruka's voice from the kitchen. I looked at my cramped room and sighed heavily this was all Sasuke fault I was trying to be nice but he had to be a dick about it.
I growled slowly under my breath and got up brushing my teeth and throwing my clothes on before walking out of my room and looked at Iruka he was sipping his coffee fully dressed looking at the newspaper in his lap. "Where are you going."
He smiled at me and sighed heavily "Sometimes I wonder how you can be so dense." He smiled slightly at me before turning it look at the kitchen table. "Eat the next time you eat is at lunch."
I looked at him and nodded my head sitting at the table eating my eggs and bacon simply looking out the was a great day for training but I was going to be stuck in a dark dank room filing away a bunch of stupids reports this was so unfair all because he had to start a fight and then go over bored.
I growled before I looked at the clock. I gulped down the rest of my eggs and stood up and walked over to the couch simply looking at Iraku for a moment. "So are you still mad about the other night."
He sighed heavily and looked at me "It's not that I was mad it was that I was disappointed at the both of you. Yes, Sasuke went through a large ordeal when he watched his family's massacred but it was no excuse for the things he did. I'm just disappointed that you would stoop to his level of insults."
I looked at I man sighed heavily as he looked at me his brown eyes staring into my soul. "It's not like it was unjustified he said that I was better off dead." He nodded his head and looked at me for a moment. "Wait for what?" He looked at me confused and I sighed that was right I didn't mention it in the meeting I must have to forget.
He stood up this confused and irritated look in his eye "Let's walk and talk we don't want to be late." I looked at him confused but it finally clicked he was coming with me. I sighed heavily and walked out of the house with him.
As we were walking down the sidewalk the sun warmed my face and my ears were burning but I think that was because of the fact that people were leering at me. I could hear them whispering about yesterday word must have trailed fast. "So tell me what you said earlier I do not understand why you didn't bring it up earlier. "
I looked at him and sighed before turning to look at the dark dank tower that was looming off in the distance looking like a menace to my ninja training. "Well he was talking but it was more like yelling at Asuma for something and then he said that I was better off dead then a ninja and how I didn't have any real power of my own. I just lost control of my temper and said something that I should not have said but it was his fault."
I looked at him and anger flared in his eyes. I watched his hands snap close into a fist and his knuckles turned white. He spoke through clenched teeth "Why didn't you bring that up in the meeting your punishment would have been lessened."
I looked at him I didn't get why he was so angry all of a sudden. "I was so confused about Sasuke calling Kurenai sensei mom that I kind of got caught up in the moment. Sorry" I looked down at my feet and notice that Iruka stopped walking. I looked at him and he signed sadness shining into his eyes. "I'm not mad at you I am mad at Sasuke for his harsh words and rash actions you are not to blame for him losing his temper. He has never been the same since his family was killed. You know it was his brother that killed his entire clan." I looked at him my eyes widen in shock. "I didn't know that maybe that was why he was so testy. But how is Kurenai his mom?" I looked at him so many questions popped into my mind but I didn't know which one I should pick next. "Well, she I his adoptive enough question, for now, we need to get to the tower."
I nodded my head and walked towards the tower getting ready to brace myself for the annoyance that is Sasuke. But when I go to the tower there was no one there I mean that there were people there but not Sasuke or the senses. I sighed and walked into the building and the Hokage was standing there looking at me. "I will show you to the records room you will spend the day organizing them Asuma, Kakashi and Iruka will monitor you and make sure that the both of you don't start fighting again." I nodded my head at him were looking at my feet I could feel his glare on me it was burning holes in my back I was starting to feel self-conscious. "Alright let's start your punishment." He walked away going up the steps urging me to follow while speaking with Iruka about today's events and how no fighting will be tolerated. This was going to be the worst and longest day ever.
