Well hello! Here is a new chapter of Naruko's secret-fanfiction. See you in the next chapter.


"I found the 5th 7-Mei in Oni no Kuni. I've been thinking for a while about, what might happen, when I find all the members of 7-Mei. No one is a threat to Konoha's safety so far. I'm going to go to Nami no Kuni next. Greetings Naruko," Tsuande read the letter he had just received from Naruko, and looked out the window.

It was raining outside.

Tsunade then read the latest scoop from the newspaper on her desk again:

"A possible love letter!

Soon after that, when Tsunade-sama was appointed Godaime Hokage, Naruko wrote a letter to Sasuke, where Naruko asked Sasuke to talk to Naruko in Ichiraku about something, but Sasuke didn't show up for that meeting. Naruko waited for Sasuke for an hour standing in the rain of water, until Naruko passed out on the street in front of Ichiraku. Naruko could have contracted pneumonia, unless Ichiraku's owner Teuchi, and Teuchi's daughter Ayame would have taken Naruko to their home, and asked Shizune to check on Naruko. When Naruko woke up, she was really embarrassed by the situation in question, and didn't even want to talk about it. Was Naruko possibly going to tell Sasuke that she loved Sasuke then, for the daughter of Teuchi, Ayame had suspected that Naruko's letter to Sasuke was a love letter?"

Knock knock!

"In," Tsunade said, and the door of the room was opened, and Sasuke, and Sakura entered the room, and then Tsunade showed the article she had just read to the ninjas, who had just entered Tsunade study. "Perhaps your coming here concerns this article?"

"I want to talk to Naruko," Sasuke said looking at the article embarrassed.

Sasuke had become the subject of even worse gossip today, because of that article.

"Perhaps you intend to blame she for this scandal, whose gossip you have become. You are the type, who doesn't blame himself for hurting anyone's feelings," Tsunade said.

"Not at all. I want to know, that's why Naruko left Konoha," Sasuke said.

Sasuke then looked at Sakura:

"Don't you have something to say to Naruko too?"

"Yes. I want to apologize to Naruko for, that I haven't been a very good friend to she lately," Sakura said.

"Did you just notice that now?!" Iruka sitting on the couch asked angrily.

"Actually, I think I noticed it already a couple of months ago. I just didn't have the courage to face the truth, and talk about it directly with Naruko," Sakura said.

Sakura then looked at Tsunade:

"Let us find Naruko".

"Alright, but I won't tell you Naruko's location. It's up to you to decide, that where you go to find Naruko. For me, you can go through the whole Ninja-world, starting from any country, or from the village in any of your order to find Naruko, as you must not have been thinking about his feelings lately," Tsunade said.

"It may take some time, but I want to talk to Dobe," Sasuke said.

"You know, that's how much you mean to Naruko," Iruka thought.

Iruka knew very well that Naruko loved Sasuke, but that no matter how hard Naruko tried not to look heartbroken, which was due to, that Sasuke, and Sakura had started dating. That's why Naruko had often cried against Iruka's shoulder, before Naruko had left Konoha.


"It's still raining there," Naruko muttered, sitting on the futon on the floor of the guest room upstairs in Inari's home.

Knock knock!

"In," Naruko said.

The door of the room was opened, and Inari entered the room:

"Naruko-neechan, how long are you going to be here?"

"I do not know. But are there any shrine-like buildings here?"

"In this forest there is one, a shrine-like building. I can show it to you tomorrow," Inari said looking at Naruko's black hair curiously.

"Thank you. Good night," Naruko said laying down on the futon.

"Good night," Inari said going to her own room.
