Well hello! Here is a new chapter of Naruko's secret fanfiction. For which inspiration has been sought from My Little Pony: Best Gift Ever-movie, and Mahou no Chocolate-manga, When Marnie was There-movie, and Detective Conan-manga, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-book, whose rights I do not own. See you in the next chapter.
Naruko walked with Hotaru in the forest near Katsuragizan, until they arrived in front of the cave, before the mouth of which was a red wooden gate, which had the Uzumaki-clan crest.
"Thank you, Hotaru. Would you mind waiting here in the meantime, when I go to that shrine?" Naruko asked.
Hotaru nodded.
Naruko walked inside the shrine, and saw on the stone table there, yellow crystal, and black ninja armor, which was similar to, like Shizuka's armor. However, the armor in question was rusted in some places.
Suddenly, the yellow crystal began to glow, and turned into a spirit being, who looked like a little girl, who had yellow hair. The spirit creature bowed to Naruko upon seeing Naruko:
"It's an honor to meet you, descendant of Uzumaki Ashina. I've been waiting for you here ever since, when I was brought here. I am the third member of 7-Mei, Happī. When you have found all of us 7-Mei members, then we will lend you our powers".
Happī turned back into a yellow crystal, that moved into Naruko's necklace, which began to glow yellow as the armor on the table repaired itself, and then appeared on top of Naruko.
Naruko walked out of the shrine, then looked at Hoataru:
"I found this armor in that shrine. Does it look funny on you?"
"Doesn't," Hoataru said, looking with Naruko the stars in the sky.
"Great, if you're of the opinion. Now can we go back to your house, and I'll write a letter to Tsunade-sama?" Naruko requested.
Hotaru nodded returning with Naruko to Hotaru's home.
"So you broke into Naruko's house to find out, that why has Naruko been avoiding you, and you even read his diary," Tsunade said on the floor of her study, to the kneeling Sasuke, and for Sakura, whose hands were tied behind their backs. "That's already a violation of privacy".
Iruka looked at Sasuke, and Sakura angry after bringing them into Tsunade's study just now.
"I know it's an invasion of privacy. But I heard from Ino before that, that Naruko cried during the last festival at the Konoha playground, and that she cried against Kakashi-sensei's shoulder then. Ino even said so, that it would be Sasuke-kun, and my fault. I was completely out of my mind. Before that I had just thought Naruko had a cold. I began to suspect that Naruko had caught a cold, when I hadn't seen him in two weeks. After not seeing Naruko for a month, so I couldn't help but wonder about it. It seems like, that Naruko would have, avoided me, and Sasuke-kun," Sakura said.
"It was your idea to go to Dobe's apartment with your own permission. You even left the front door of Naruko's home open," Sasuke said.
"You too explored Naruko's apartment with your own permission," Sakura said. He found it surprisingly unfair that, that Sasuke now blamed Sakura.
"It took you two weeks, before you noticed Naruko avoiding you?!" Tsunade thought in disbelief to her ears:
"Naruko has left the village for a little vacation. She felt she deserved a vacation after completing so many tasks a month ago".
"On vacation?!" Sakura asked disbelieving her ears. "Doesn't sound like Naruko at all. She's always been so energetic, and brisk".
"Everyone needs a vacation sometimes. This way, Naruko gets a bit of her own time. Plus, Naruko is having a baby," Tsunade said.
"Baby?! But Naruko hasn't even dated anyone!" Sasuke shouted in shock. Suddenly, a vague memory began to enter Sasuke's mind, but it disappeared just as quickly, as had appeared.
"Indeed. In addition, Naruko plans to research information about her clan, and possible, Threats outside of Konoha reporting them directly to me as he sends me letters," Tsunade said.
Click click! Tsunade turned her gaze towards the window of her study, and saw the message bird sitting on the windowsill.
Tsunade opened the window, picked up the letter on the bird's leg, and read it:
"Good evening, Tsunade-sama. I am now in Katsuragizan, and I found here the third 7-Mein, and armor, which was corrected, and appeared to me, when the 7-Mei member I found in Katsuragizan transferred to the crystal in my necklace, which now glows yellow. I have remembered to sleep rest, and eat well. Hotaru is fine. For now, no one threatens the safety of the people of Konoha. I'm going to Tsukigakure no Sato next. Greetings Naruko".
The bird flew away, and Tsunade closed the window of her study:
"An interim report just came from Naruko. Everything seems to be fine".
"When Naruko returns to Konoha, so i help her clean her house, which already has a considerable layer of dust," Iruka said. "I'll even give him a present because, that she will have a child."
"But I guess we don't even know yet, is her baby a girl, or boy?" Sakura asked. It seemed incredible to him, that Naruko had kept it a secret from Sakura, because they were best friends.
"Now that I think about it, so the last time we saw Naruko was strangely quiet, though he did smile a little," Sakura said.
"You haven't seemed to think much about Naruko's feelings lately," Iruka said. "Is there Naruko friends".
"True. I haven't thought about Naruko's feelings in any way lately," Sakura thought embarrassed upon realizing that point.
"Is true, that Naruko cried on my shoulder during the last few festivals" Kakashi said as he entered Tsunade's study.
"Was he really at that festival?" Sasuke asked. He didn't remember seeing Naruko at that festival. "But Narukohan once said he hated parties".
(Flashback)
"I am Uzumaki Naruko. I like jokes, ramen, about practicing Ninjutsu. My goal is to become Hokage, surpassing all previous Hokages. My hobby is practicing Nijutsu, cooking, and growing small plants. I hate parties," Naruko said sitting Sasuke, and next to Sakura on the roof of the Konoha Ninja Academy, where they had just introduced themselves to Kakashi.
Naruko was wearing a black and white blouse, black pants, blue shoes, and Hitai-ate of Konoha. He had combed his hair into a ponytail-like hairstyle.
The others looked at Naruko a little curiously.
(End of the flashback)
"Maybe Naruko just said she hates parties. He was really at the previous festival, but later I followed him to the playground, where he sat on a swing after getting tired of the festival situation. She was wearing a yukata, and even put on makeup," Kakashi said.
"Really?! But he usually wears casual clothes! So casual, that even I have sometimes pointed it out! That's why I've guessed, that fashion doesn't interest Naruko!" Sakura shouted.
"Shut up! It's time to punish you for, that you broke into his house with your own permission! You may clean the Hokage's rock carvings as punishment for, that you broke into Naruko's home with your own permission," Tsunade said.
"Huh?! Didn't Naruko usually have to do that after pulling some pranks?!" Sakura asked.
"Did Naruko ever break into your homes of her own accord?! She didn't. And you know what? The last page of Naruko's diary was full of smudges, because Naruko had cried while writing the last page of her diary! You don't seem to care about Naruko's feelings at all! Such friends, and some, for other reasons people have hidden feelings, which they won't tell others for fear of getting reprimanded!" Iruka yelled taking Sakura away, and Sasuke to clean the Hokage's rock carvings.
"Huoh! Naruko's friends clearly haven't been thinking about Naruko's feelings lately," Tsunade stated.
Kakashi nodded.
