Well hello! Here's a new chapter of Naruko's secret-fanfiction, inspired by the Detective Conan- manga, Your Name-manga, and the Elena of the Avalor-series, which I don't own the rights to. I apologize for the shortness of the chapter. See you in the next chapter.
Naruko walked with Shion, and Shion's bodyguards in the forest of Oni no Kun until they arrived in front of a cave.
In front of the mouth of the cave in question was a red wooden gate with the Uzumaki-clan's emblem on it.
Naruko walked into the shrine, and saw a blue crystal, and a scroll on the stone table.
"So, the fifth 7-Mei is here," Naruko thought, as she touched the blue crystal which began to glow turning into a man dressed in blue armor, who was a spirit being.
"I am Ao, the fifth member of the 7-Mei. I have been waiting for you for a long time, descendant of Uzumaki Ashina. Once you find all of us members of the 7-Mei, we will lend you our powers at some point," Ao turned into a blue crystal that moved into the crystal of Naruko's necklace which now began shimmer.
Naruko picked up the scroll, then walked out of the shrine in front of Shion:
"Thank you, Shion-sama".
"Please," Shion said starting with Naruko, and Shion's bodyguards towards Shion's home. However, Shion couldn't help, but worry about Naruko:
"Why is Naruko's hair black now, and Naruko's more formal, than before?"
"An hour?! Did Naruko stand in the rain for an hour waiting for me to come here to see her?!" Sasuke asked Teuchi, and Ayame as he stood in front of Ichiraku.
"Unbelievable!" Sakura thought standing next to Sasuke not believing what she just heard.
"Yes. It was 3 weeks before Tsunade-sama sent you to Tee-land to protect a certain runner. Eventually Naruko passed out on the street, so we took her to our house to recover, and asked Shizune-san to check on Naruko's health. Naruko didn't catch a cold then, but she could have get pneumonia," Teuchi said.
"That thing embarrassed Naruko-chan so much that she didn't even want to talk about it," Ayame said looking at the letter Sasuke had just shown Ayame and Teuchi. "Sasuke-kun, Naruko-chan wrote that letter for you here, and said she would give it to you when you tried to get Kakashi-san to take off his mask. Naruko-chan put that letter in your pocket, when Ino, and her group left here. When Naruko-chan wrote that letter, and hid it in your pocket, I suspected it was some kind of love letter".
"A love letter?! But we were already friends then, so what did Naruko want to talk to me about then?" Sasuke thought looking at the letter written by Naruko in his other hand.
"How must Naruko have felt, when she waited for Sasuke-kun here, standing in the rain for an hour?!" Sakura thought.
Unbeknownst to Sasuke, and Sakura, a reporter was hiding nearby, and was eavesdropping on their conversation with Ayame, and Teuchi, writing everything he heard in his notebook.
"This article will be a real success. If there is even a little bit of substance to the story, then the story will cause a scandal," The reporter thought.
Naruko lay on the bed in the guest room of Shion's mansion, and thought about her baby:
"We need to start thinking about the baby's name and getting baby stuff. We should probably make a list of everything. We definitely need to think about the name".
Naruko rolled over in bed.
"I need to write a list of baby names for both girls and boys, and decide on a suitable name after the baby is born".
A little before falling asleep, Naruko thought about another thing:
"What kind of powers might the members of 7-Mei have, and what might be read in that scroll I found today? I'll examine that scroll in the morning".
The Konoha newspaper office was already preparing the next day's newspaper, which was meant to bring Sasuke, and Sakura into disrepute for, how cruelly they had treated Naruko.
"I didn't think that the story I wrote would really be the subject of the front page, but I'm just doing my job, and it gives the whole village quite a talking point. Could Sasuke be an outcast when that article is published in a new newspaper? The editor-in-chief of the newspaper was really happy with the article I wrote," The reporter thought contentedly, sitting on the chair by his desk.
