Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ A Life for a Life ❯ Arrival of a lady...Part 1 ( Chapter 32 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

I do not own Naruto

Moiya Hatake, S.T Nickolian…Giggles and hands them stuffed plushies of Naruto, Arashi and Yukita. Yay! Someone has paid attention!

Rasengan86…-True he may be a one armed cripple but if I sound rude I don't mean to be. But Auron from Final Fantasy 10…he was one armed and look at what HE CAN DO! As to Danzou, it is because of the fact that there is so little. He is more secretive and no one really knows of his past. So I am just going to give him one :D

Fanfiction reader…I don't mind, your review is the type of criticism I can handle…makes me wonder. There is one thing it could be. You simply might be too used to reading the same kind of stories? What I mean by that same pairing…same overall plotline repeatedly? That would make anything feel wrong if you are used to one style and not another.

Chapter 32

Naruto was surprised as he looked over at the older man who had offered him something he never expected.

“You don't have to if you don't want to Naruto. It's just…It's a big house for just me…” The former Hokage said sheepishly as his hand moved up the back of his head.

“Can I think about it?” The youth replied slowly in response. His own shock at the question evident, Arashi can't help but smile gently and nod. Breathing a small sigh of relief, Naruto looks up at the older man with questions in his eyes.

“Now…are we going to train or what?”

Laughing a little bit in response to that slightly impertinent question, Arashi nods his head and starts to speak. The words flowing from his lips, he observes as his son listens carefully to each and every word…

“Now you remember I told you we would be defying the laws of nature right?”

“Right…”

“Well this will sort of be like chakra control son. You have to think this, feel this happen as you do it. If you are going to be as light as a feather, you have to make yourself become as light as a feather.”

“Wouldn't weights or seals do the same thing though?”

“In most cases yes, but in our limit Naruto, no, we need to not only think that till it becomes a second nature to us. Our blood carries the ability to do it from what I understand. Without the need for the weights…or seals…” Arashi comments with a grin. “Now are you ready to try it?”

As Naruto nods his head eagerly, Arashi starts to explain about a new meditation he wants Naruto to work on. He is to not only focus his chakra to parts of his body so that it remains equal. But he is to also shift his weight and perception of it alongside the chakra.

“This is going to be difficult isn't it?” Naruto grumbled as he started.

“It took me a long time and finding Chun-sensei on a mission, before I was able to do it Naruto. He was the one who sensed what I could do and this is how he trained me in it.” The older man chuckled. “And if you are truly going to surpass me son, you will do it faster then I did…”

As he hears that direct tone of challenge from his father, Naruto growls in irritation at the friendly insult. Still he smiles and laughs as he has indeed said that over and over again. Watching as Arashi leaves now, for him to mediate without interference, Naruto quietly debates his offer….

Several hours later…

Tired and irritated beyond belief as he feels he has gotten nowhere, Arashi approaches and reaches out to mess with Naruto's hair. Growling a little bit in annoyance, and exhaustion, the youth simply glares at his elder.

That is when something comes to him an idea…an idea on how to save Sasuke.

“….umm….”

Hearing a questioning sound emerge from the youth beside him, Arashi turns to find Naruto, with his hand behind his head scratching it as he seems lost in thought. “How am I going to ask this…without it sounding like a bribe or something?”

“Ask me what?” Arashi smiled, as he overhears the question. His warmth spreads a little more as Naruto was worried that he would think he was trying to bribe him with something.

“If I agree to live with you…would you besides training me in our limit…also teach me about seals?”

The messenger arrived at a small home about a two days walk from the Sound village. Bruised and battered a little bit from the constant traps around the path, which he had taken. The man approaches the home cautiously. His eyes alert for any and all devices or plants to grab him, he is surprised as the door opens and someone appears. Hidden by the shadows of the cottage, he could not see this person's face, but tell only by the voice that she was feminine in countenance.

“Why are you here?”

“I have been sent a message for you from Sasuke and Orichamaru-sama. You are to go to Konoha and spy upon a ninja there.”

“I refuse…”

About to protest, the figure steps out into the light, although young looking, she is in her mid to late 30's. Black hair and amber eyes, that reflect a cold persona, she glares at the messenger with hatred. “I am not doing it.”

“Kabuto-sama said you might think that so he told me to tell you this. If you don't…she dies.”

Giving a yell of frustration, the woman glares with hatred. “Fine then, tell him I'm on my way.” The woman replies as she slams the door in the man's face.

Her own emotions whirling she strides towards her bedroom where she begins packing various items. As she does so, she pauses as she looks at a picture. Beside her are four others. But her finger pauses over a figure she smiles sadly…

Grasping that picture and throwing it in her bag, as the only reason why she does this, the woman leaves the cottage with her chosen disguise on.

Red hair that curls so slightly, with deep green eyes…although her skin is pale, by the time she gets there it will be sun kissed and glowing with life.

Umiko Tanaka began to move.
