Cha. 8

Naruto woke up feeling warm and comfortable. Pervy-Sage had allowed him a few extra hours to sleep. Naruto's thoughts shifted to Sasuke, then Sakura. Naruto let out a deep sigh, then started to get up.

'Where's the others?'

Enrik also woke up feeling warm and comfortable. However, the warmth he felt was not from the blanket. Quietly, Enrik slipped out of the bed. Thinking of everything other than the other person in bed. In all honesty, if his thoughts ever turned to the certain girl on his bed, he would probably fail to remain sane. After all, what kind of a healthy boy falls asleep alone but wakes up with a girl next to him? Enrik also sighed, then got to his morning business.

Enrik's thoughts drifted back to the day they left the village. He felt a pair of eyes on them. Or, more accurately, on Naruto. The stare, however, was not aggressive or anything along those lines. He only managed to catch a flash of blue hair before the figure disappeared. Enrik silently decided to talk to Naruto about this later. He finished what he originally planned to do, then stepped out of the room. He let out a sigh of exasperation at seeing Tayuya sleeping in the hallway. He carried Tayuya up bridal style and turned to exit the hotel. Enrik would make sure that she wakes up in front of her breakfast. However, what he soon saw caused anger to rise from deep within him.

Outside the hotel…

Many of the villagers had locked themselves in their dwellings. Only a few villagers stood outside, but still had their eyes downcast. A single man walked around them, a group of idiotic men stood behind him. Enrik rested his hand on his concealed pistol.

"Hey! You there! Bow down to Kandachi-sama!"

"First of all, I don't bow down to anyone. Except when either Tayuya or Yue gets pissed. Second of all, I'm gonna go ahead and eat breakfast," Enrik turned around and headed in the opposite direction of what he considered a group of mongrels. Just then, chaos broke out. Enrik ignored the commotion and kept on walking. Briefly hearing a sentence of "Even a Sannin is no match for me!" and something that sounded like a conch being summoned. Of course, that was of no concern for him. He knocked on the boarded up ramen stand and started requesting for a bowl of noodles. Tayuya still slept soundly while Enrik tuned-in to the fighting. Enrik listened with interest and a bit of a relaxed attitude. The match was shortly ended with a sentence declaring something that bore the name of "Big Ball Rasengan". The damage Enrik heard was obviously pretty serious. The noise also happened to wake Tayuya.

Tayuya rubbed her eyes. "What's going on sh*t-head?"

"Nothing much. Just waiting for a bowl of ramen."

"Oh."

"Mmhm."

"Say…"

"Yes?" Enrik tapped his foot impatiently.

"How'd I end up here?"

"I carried you."

"Oh."

"Mmhm."

"What's going on over there?"

"The manipulation of chakra into a large ball with explosive power. The power of the rasengan, which was used by Naruto, involved the compressing of oxygen and faint traces of…Er…Francium. I think. At the moment of release, the moisture in the air was gathered up and…"

"Speak human."

"There was a giant ball which exploded over there."

"Oh."

"Mmhm."

"Why didn't ya f*ckin' say so?"

"Ramen's done!" Enrik pushed the bowl of ramen towards Tayuya.

"Is that for me?"

"Yes."

"Thanks…retard," Tayuya lowered her face from view.

"Welcome."

Somewhere in the hotel…

"Hm…I smell something weird…Hm…Hm…" Suddenly, the voice turned dark. "Now then…I sure hope he isn't cheating on me so early in the morning."

Meanwhile, four people sat at the village's ramen stand. Each of them stuffing their faces with ramen. However, all four of them stood up at an instant.

"Feel the killing intent?" Enrik asked the other three.

"Yes."

"Yep."

"Yeah."

"We should run."

"I agree."

"The f*cking retard's actually making sense."

"What'd ya we start runin'?"

"Good idea. She's probably crazy right now," Enrik said.

"God. The b*tch is crazy again."

The four left some money for the vendor and sprinted off. The vender was shifting through the money they left when a crimson eyed girl flashed before him.

The girl lifted a pouch of coins before her."Where'd they go?"

"There," The vender pointed towards the direction they left in. Yue threw the pouch of coins at him and took off. The vender happily opened the pouch, only to find it filled with stones. "Figured that I wouldn't be so lucky."

A few minutes later, it could be seen that Yue was still chasing after the four. She quickly caught up though. With a leap, she pounced onto Enrik. She pushed him to the ground and pulled out her knife. The tip of her knife pushed against Enrik's cheek. "It's cute how you tried to run away from me."

"One can dream, right?"

"Well then, after I'm done with you, you'll never dream again," The knife's tip shifted to Enrik's neck when a sound alarmed the both of them. Their suits both began emitting a high pitched sound. Like a clarinet cracking at high notes. A single message was displayed when they looked towards their arm: "Incoming Call: Head Quarters".
