Well hello! Here is a new chapter of Naruko's secret-fanfiction. This chapter was inspired by the manga Sakurahime no Kaden-manga, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1-movie, Otoyomegatari-manga, and the Mahou no Chocolate-manga, whose rights I do not own. See you in the next chapter.
"I'm Karei, the first member of 7-Mei. Ashina-sama hid us in different parts of this world to protect his's offspring since that day, when her found us. Naruko-sama is that descendant, so we will do everything we can to protect her even from you," Karei said.
"Ashina?! Who is she?!" Sakura asked.
"She was Uzumaki Ashina, the leader of the Uzumaki-clan, and Naruko-sama's maternal grandfather. Do you know Naruko at all?" Karei asked.
"True! I haven't asked Naruko about Naruko's mother at all! I just know, that Naruko is the Yondaime Hokage's daughter!" Sakura thought embarrassed.
Karei raised her right arm higher, and a red glowing Kekkai appeared around the palace behind him. Then Karei disappeared, and appeared behind Sasuke knocking Sasuke to the ground, and then jumped away from Sasuke:
"You have caused Naruko-sama more suffering, than you can even imagine".
Sasuke stood up, and then looked at Karei:
"Why do you talk like that?"
"While in Naruko-sama's necklace crystal, we saw some of her's memories, and that, how you tried to kill her by piercing her with your Chidori, when you fought long ago in Shumatsu no Tani to get the Mangekyo Sharingan, so you could kill your brother Itachi," Karei said.
"Shannarooo!" Sakura tried to attack Karei by jumping high into the air, and punching Karei to grab the castle key from Karei.
Karei disappeared dodging the attack, and then appeared behind Sakura, and quickly knocked Sakura to the ground, where a large crater appeared, on the bottom of which Sakura lay, now covered in bruises:
"Sad. You can't see deeper than the surface. At first, even Naruko-sama, you only judged appearances, and based on the rumors you've heard, before you became friends, so what does any beauty matter? I tend to say things out loud, which i like, but I leave those things unsaid, which I don't like. Smug look, and a mocking look, with which some look at others has something, what i can't stand. Now I could make your face just as ugly, as in nature. Yes. I could make your face so ugly, that you could never even look at yourself in the mirror for fear of your ugly face. But Naruko-sama would not be happy about that, because he's not the type, who judges people only by appearance, but wants to find out for himself about people's nature".
"From Naruko I have learned, that you should find out about some things yourself," Sakura said standing up, and then jumped out of the pit. "And doesn't every woman want to be beautiful sometimes?!"
"I had once forgotten, that how shallow Sakura is!" Sasuke thought looking, at Sakura a little bored.
"That's not the right way to solve this battle test! Staringmakic!" Karei said, and a roll of paper appeared in his hands, which he quickly wrapped around Sasuke, and around Sakura's waists giving them a burning sensation, which ran throughout their bodies.
"Yeeeeee! Burning!" Sakura yelled.
(Flashback)
Sasuke, and Sakura saw, that they were now standing in a classroom at the Konoha Ninja Academy, and saw Naruko at the same time, and the younger ones themselves sitting on the chairs at the tables in the room.
Sasuke, and Sakura walked forward looking at the younger Naruko, who was staring at the paper on the table in front of her, and held a pen in her right hand.
"Why is this question like this?" Naruko murmured, and then looked at Iruka, who wrote the text on the blackboard:
"Who do you want to spend your last day with?"
Some others were already writing their answer on the paper on the table in front of them, but Naruko still hadn't come up with an answer.
"Whose name are you writing on that paper, Sakura?" Ino asked.
"It's none of your business!" Sakura yelled, placing both of her hands on top of the paper in front of her, blushing.
"Sakura will surely write Sasuke's name on her own paper with many, like other girls. That doesn't surprise me at all. It must be because of Sasuke's appearance, but his look is so sad, and lonely. I want to know, that why is he sad, and lonely, for my gaze is sometimes the same, like him, because I see that look, when I look in the mirror sometimes. Luckily I'm not the only one, who feels that way," Naruko thought, and wrote her answer on her paper:
"Uchiha Sasuke".
The landscape became different, and now Naruko was current Sakura's, and Sasuke's age, and looked at the paper, on which her had long ago written Sasuke's name, before placing the paper in question inside her diary, closing his diary while sitting on her bed. Then she hugged her diary. "Fortunately, books cannot beat people themselves, who read them".
(End of the flashback)
"So the paper we just saw is the same paper, which we recently saw fall out of Naruko's diary," Sasuke said.
"So Naru already wanted to be friends with you then?!" Sakura asked not believing, what she had just seen to be true.
"It's hard for you to understand Naruko-sama's feelings," Karei said disapprovingly. "Red Flower Destroy!"
The burning sensation intensified, and now caused Sasuke, and wounds for Sakura too.
"This is the feeling of disgust within Naruko-sama for the shallow way of thinking," Karei said.
"A very burning hatred for it, that some people think looks are the most important thing!" Sakura thought. Her felt really bad now, when her remembered, that how often her had criticized Naruko's modest dressing- style.
"I will destroy your way of thinking about it, that appearance is most important, Sakura! Inner beauty is the most important, for it is not a sign of complacency, which some people, who consider themselves beautiful carry in their hearts like you! I destroy everything, false beauty, who threatens Naruko-sama's safety! Ribbon technique: Crimson Rose!" Karei created several needles in the air, which he quickly threw towards Sasuke, and Sakura.
Sasuke suddenly disappeared, and then appeared before Karei, and took the castle key from Karei, surprising Karei:
"I understand, what are you talking about. I also hate superficial thinking. I could destroy all people, who think that appearance is the most important thing. I do know, that sometimes I might seem smug in Naruko's eyes, but I want to understand Naruko's feelings".
Sasuke jumped onto a tree branch at the same time, when Sakura, who had just been wounded by the needles thrown by Karei at Sakura, cut the paper around her hips into pieces with a kunai, and then started fighting with Karei.
"I know, that I used to be like that, who didn't dare to find out about some things himself, for I had not the courage before to take off my mask. That's why I sometimes ended up judging Naru only based on rumours, and by appearance. I understand, that she might be mad at me for it. But now I want to talk to Naruko. Her is beautiful inside and out, that outside, and I know she cares a lot about her friends, because her has often protected me too. So if I have accidentally done something bad to her, then I want to apologize to her," Sakura said.
"Resolving disputes is not always easy. For example, no one can interpret the hearts of their friends, so that's why we have to talk, and tell your friends about your feelings. And no one can interpret the heart of that person, who loves, unless I talk to that person," Karei said, disappearing, and the Kekkai around the palace also disappeared.
"Naruko must be bitter towards me, when I've criticized her modest dressing style so many times," Sakura said.
"Five for that. Let's talk to Naruko," Sasuke said walking towards the front doors of the palace, which he opened with the key, he had just taken from Karei.
The crystal enclosure around Naruko sleeping on the bed turned red as Karei moved into the crystal in Naruko's necklace at the same time, when a red blanket appeared over Naruko, and the pillow under her head turned red too.
"Naruko-sama, am I beautiful both inside, and out, that by heart?" Karei asked Naruko.
"Yes you are," Naruko said.
