Naruko Reunited With Old Friends
(I know that after the 'search for Tsunade arc' team seven is sent to the land of snow but I'm not gonna do any of the movies for reasons you'll see later on well maybe except for the blood prison movie but instead of naruko going to the blood prison it's gonna be someone else I was thinking of maybe doing this movie with someone else as the main protest in it because I thought that it would be interesting and you'll see why it's someone else and not naruko if I end up making it like I said I'm not going to be doing any of the movies and as you can see by the title I'm actually going to be doing my own arc instead and keep in mind this takes place before the 'land of tea escort mission' that's all I wanted to say so I hope you enjoy.)
A bit after Tsunade became the fifth hokage, team seven was assigned to go to a town near by. There had been numerous reports of a group of thieves running around and stealing people's stuff so team seven was sent there to find out who these thieves were and apprehended them.
Once they got there kakashi had naruko, sasuke, and sakura split up so they'd have a better chance at finding the thieves. They're plan was to roam around the place and try to catch the thieves in the act.
After they split up naruko took off her headband to make her look like a random civilian. Naruko was walking around the town to see if there were anyone acting suspicious while trying not to draw attention to herself.
It didn't take long before she saw someone acting suspicious. She saw a guy walking around the town talking to a bunch of random people. This set off a bunch of red flags so she decided to follow this guy, suspecting him to be one of the thieves. Naruko couldn't get a good look at the guy since he was wearing a hoodie that had his hood up and a hat that was covering his face.
After a bit of walking naruko saw the guy walk into a cafe and decided to go in. She sat down and continued to observe the guy while making it look like she's looking at the menu.
Athough naruko couldn't help but feel sad, the town kind of reminded her of the village of light but it wasn't as big or pretty. Walking around reminded her of how her and her friends or family would walk around the village trying to find something to do, taking a walk, or for no reason but to spend time together. So being in a pretty town walking alone just felt wrong.
"Excuse miss" someone said bringing naruko out of her thoughts. Naruko looked at the person and saw the person she was observing. "Is there something you need?" Naruko said on edge. "I just wanted to ask if you're ok? You look upset" the person said. "I'm ok. I just miss someone" naruko said. "Oh I see" the guy said.
He then sat down only to immediately stand back up and said "I'm sorry is this seat taken?" Naruko giggled then said "no it's not. I'm here by myself." The guy smiled then sat down. Something about him was familiar to her, even his voice sounded familiar but she couldn't figure out what.
"Hey if you don't mind me asking what's your name?" Naruko said. "Just call me AA" AA said. "Ok it's nice to meet you AA. I'm naruko uzumaki" naruko said. 'Naruko. What a pretty name' AA thought.
There was something about this guy for some reason he made naruko's heart beat speed up a little and made her wanna stand up and hold him in her arms but she didn't know why. She couldn't put her finger on it.
After a bit of talking naruko stood up and said "I better get going." AA stood up and said "I better leave too but maybe we can meet here again tomorrow." "Yeah I'd like that" naruko said then left the cafe.
After naruko left the cafe she hid and waited for AA to leave. Once he did she followed him. After a while she followed him to a sketchy dark alley where AA met up with two people. Naruko hid and tried to listen to what they were talking about but she couldn't hear much because oh how quietly they were talking.
After they left naruko went to go find kakashi to tell him about what she found out so far. After finding kakashi and telling him about what happened before they entered the cafe kakashi was surprised and said "what happened when you both left the cafe?" "I followed him to a dark alley where he met up with two shady looking people. They were talking but I wasn't able to hear much" naruko said.
"What were you able to hear?" Kakashi said. "AA said something about paying his debt that's all I could hear" naruko said. "Naruko I want you to keep an eye on this AA person. From what you've gathered so far you could be right about him being one of the thieves" kakashi said.
"We'll be checking into an inn soon so meet me back here in a couple of hours" kakashi said. Naruko nodded then left. 'She's really taking this mission seriously, that's a first' kakashi thought surprised.
After a couple of hours, the sun began set. Naruko met back up with her team. They checked into an inn where naruko and sakura were going to share a room while sasuke and kakashi shared another room.
Sakura was disappointed. She really wanted to share a room with sasuke but she surprisingly didn't complain. As the girls made they're way up to the room naruko said "I'm surprised that you didn't ask kakashi-sensei if you could share a room with sasuke instead." "I thought about it but I figured that he would have said no. Plus I don't mind sharing a room with you" sakura said surprising naruko.
When the girls were in the room getting ready for bed sakura noticed that naruko was a bit distressed. "Is everything ok?" Sakura said. "I'm fine sakura. I've just got a lot on my mind" naruko said rummaging around in her backpack not looking at sakura. "Well what is it?" Sakura said. Naruko sighed and said "I ran into someone. I think that he might be one of the thieves but there's something about him." "What is it?" Sakura said. "It's nothing sakura" naruko said.
They were silent for a couple of minutes when naruko heard sakura giggled breaking the silence. Naruko looked at sakura and said "what's so funny?" "I was just thinking back to when we were younger and how we would never talk to or be around each other but here we are sharing a room together and even talking to each other face to face " sakura said looking at naruko.
Naruko thought about it for a bit then started giggling too. "I thought that you were annoying back then but after a while of working together it made me realize that you're not as annoying as I thought you were" sakura said. "Thanks sakura, you're not so bad yourself" naruko said.
"Hey remember when we were genin and how we reacted when we found out the we were gonna be on the same team?" Sakura said. "Yeah I remember. I also remember how happy you were when Iruka-sensei told us that sasuke was on our team as well" naruko said causing both girls to laugh.
Naruko then went back to rummaging around in her backpack. She pulled out the fluffy white hoodie that Akito gave her. She took off her jacket and put the hoodie on. "Why did you bring that?" Sakura asked. "Well… I've been using them as pajamas. I've been having trouble sleeping but when I wear this, while I'm asleep, it helps" naruko said. "Ok" sakura said confused.
Sakura wanted to ask naruko about why she's been having trouble sleeping and why the hoodie helps her but they were supposed to be up early so sakura decided to ask her later.
After a bit, both girls were in bed. Sakura was fast asleep but naruko just laid there thinking about AA, as a bunch of questions filled her head. 'What's with him? Why can't I stop thinking about him? And why does he make me feel this way? The only person who made her feel this way was… Akito' naruko thought.
After a bit of thinking "Could… could I be falling in love with AA?" Naruko said quietly enough not to wake sakura. 'N-no I can't be falling in love AA. I just met him, I barely even know anything about him but… why does it feel like I've met him before?' Naruko thought then drifted off to sleep.
