Well hello! Here's a new chapter of Naruko's secret-fanfiction, with some inspiration from the Detective Conan-manga, and the Sakurahime no Kaden-manga, which I don't own the rights to. See you in the next chapter.


Sasuke, and Sakura walked in through the outer doors of the castle, and looked at the interior of the castle.

The furniture was simple, but beautiful, and there were even some tapestries on the walls.

"Simple, but beautiful," Sakura said.

"Already forget your shallow way of thinking, and focus on completing the mission instead," Sasuke said.

Suddenly, a spirit creature glowing orange appeared in the room.

"I am Yūsha. It must be pointed out to you, that everything is not always what it is, how does it look like," Yūsha said disappearing.

"What was that anyway? Is there gold in that tapestry?" Sakura asked, moving the wall cloth aside.

"Don't!" Sasuke yelled, as he saw chakra behind the tapestry with his Rinnegan eye.

Sakura didn't listen, but continued to move the tapestry.

Suddenly, the chakra behind the tapestry turned into many shurikens, and before either could react, then the shurikens hit Sakura's clothes, and flew with Sakura to the wall behind Sakura, where Sakura got stuck, and Sakura received many electric shocks:

"Yeeeeek!"

Sasuke was running towards Sakura to remove the shuriken from Sakura at the same time, as Sasuke ran off the carpet on the floor of the room, but suddenly the carpet turned into thistles attached to the glue, the blades of which penetrated through Sasuke's sandals, causing wounds on the soles of his feet. Even Sasuke's shoes were now stuck in the glue and he couldn't move.

"Apparently traps can be anywhere now," Sasuke said.

"Well noticed. I already said, that everything is not always what it is, what does it look like," Yūsha said, appearing on the scene floating in the air. "Naruko-sama has also noticed it many times after stepping into a trap. But Naruko-sama cares a lot about her friends, and would never try to kill her own friends to get stronger, like you once tried to do to her, when you fought him in Shumatsu no Tani, Sasuke".

"I know, that I went too far then," Sasuke said after remembering that point.

"Then try to earn her forgiveness!" Yūsha yelled causing more electric shocks to the ninjas.

"Aah!" Sakura screamed, as her was electrocuted, and her hair also stood up big, as the orange Kekkai appears around the room.

"You are probably aware that, that words can sometimes make you angry, or offend. Well Naruko-sama has heard hurtful words from you too," Yūsha said.

(Flashback)

Naruko walked towards Ichiraku, where her had a meeting with her group soon after, when Tsunade had been appointed Godaime Hokage.

"Naruko should be more specific, and not coming to meetings just a little before Kakashi-sensei, is not that right, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked sitting with Sasuke on the seats of Ichiraku's stall.

Naruko leaned her back against Ichiraku's wall behind her.

"Her even clumsy, and sometimes dresses like a boy, so it would be no wonder, if anyone would mistake that baka for a boy because of her boyish way of dressing," Sakura said.

"Dobe is strong, but too loud," Sasuke said.

"So, Sasuke-kun! Heh heh!" Sakura laughed.

Sasuke showed no expression.

Naruko leaned her back against Ichiraku's wall behind her, and it seemed, that it was hard for her to believe the words her had just heard to be true. Then her cried a little, and looked angry.

After calming down, Naruko went home, and took the new clothes her had recently bought, a black and white blouse, brown shorts, and fishnet stockings from his wardrobe. Naruko put on her new clothes, then her threw her orange clothes in the trash, going back to Ichiraku sitting on the stool next to her group Sasuke, and with Sakura eyeing her new clothes curiously.

"My new clothes are nice, but simple ones. Fashion cannot be the most important thing, and everyone is clumsy sometimes. For example, Sakura slipped on the stairs yesterday while walking on the street near the Hokage-rock sculptures, and fell straight into the mud, and Sasuke also underestimated Kakaskshi-sensei in yesterday's Taijutsu training, and Kakashi-sensei managed to defeat Sasuke by throwing the training pillar on the training ground at Sasuke. Those two really have no idea, how quiet I can be," Naruko thought.

The landscape changed to Shumatsu no Tani, where Naruko, and Sasuke were fighting.

"You've been alone all your life! How could you know, how do i feel?!" Sasuke yelled at Naruko.

"I was glad to find someone like me, who, like me, was lonely. Which I would have dared to talk to you before. However, you were always better, than me in everything I did, even though i tried not to show it, that's how much it pissed me off," Naruko thought looking at Sasuke.

(End of the flashback)

"Did Naruko hear our conversation back then in Ichiraku?! No wonder he was so quiet that day!" Sakura cried out in shock.

"Brave Guard!" Yūsha shouted, and next to the tapestry, that Sakura had moved earlier, an opening appeared, from which appeared a long folding arm attached, red boxing glove, who quickly punched Sakura in the nose, and then disappeared:

"Well how do you feel now, when you get hit after saying something, that others don't like? It feels boring. You have done so many times to Naruko-sama, and you even did that, when you found her, and Saiken's jinchuriki Utakata from one village, where there was a battle going on against villagers under the control of a technology. Quite cold, and a carefree way of showing care. You are the type, who jumps straight into action without thinking about the consequences, and that's how you've hurt Naruko-sama very often".

"Ribbon technique: Gold Thurth!" Yūsha shouted, and Sakura, and Sasuke was hit with many, with fists made of wind, until they fell to the floor of the room.

"Is this how Naruko feels then, when i hit him?! Really scary, and prepared, as well as an irritated feeling!" Sakura thought.

Then the room was filled with screams.

"Coward!"

"Burden!"

"Clumsiness!"

"Familiar feeling, like when Naruko heard us talking about him back then in Ichiraku!" Sasuke thought after hearing the words just now.

"This is a familiar feeling to me, for some once spoke enviously of me, or anyway sadly, for I heard those words. That's why I think I understand, that how Naruko must have felt after hearing those words that some people used to say about him. It makes me feel really bad. If that feeling bothered Naruko, that much back then, so I hope I can make her feel better by apologizing to her".

"Apologizing isn't always easy," Yūsha said, disappearing.

Kekkai, and the traps also disappeared from the room, and Sasuke, and Sakura stood up on the floor of the room.

"I'll try to be nicer to Naru," Sakura said.

"Will it succeed, when you're so quick?" Sasuke thought.


The crystal case around Naruko turned orange, as Yūsha moved onto Naruko's necklace:

"Naruko-sama, do you think I'm brave?"

"Yes you are, Yūsha," Naruko said.
