Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Bonds Of Brotherhood ❯ Mess and Mayhem ( Chapter 3 )

Notes: the muse has really got a hold of me with his one every time I leave my pc all I can think about is the next bit I need to write, this chapter was meant to make a big jump to the battle part of the exams but instead ended up leading to a trip to the Kage, good grief lol. I have also changed the category of this fic to include humour Aki was just meant to be a medium for exposition something to talk to for a nin on his own but that all changed. As to Iruca? Don't ask I don't know where that is going lol

 

Bonds of Brotherhood

Chapter 3

 

Daichi sat in the middle of a disaster zone, which was made up of the entire contents of his travailing pack, the remains of his lunch a fox and a 3 year old when Iruca walked into his room

Aki immediately went to say hello tripping Iruca who trying to reclaim his balance trod in a bowl of oil Daichi was using to treat and clean his kunai, fell knocking a table over as he did and ended up sat against the wall with a rather besotted fox in his lap, Haruko, the boarding house owner's daughter immediately leapt on him with one of the stray cleaning cloths yelling “Clean up” and started to wipe his face

Daichi smiled at the older man, sat with his arms rested on his knees a whetstone in one hand and a kunai in the other

“She got me twice already” he smiled “she's under orders from her mother to get who ever makes a mess to clean up, I didn't realise that meant a face wash”

From where he sat Iruca picked up the table and a peace of paper that had fallen to the flore, it was a photograph

“is this your Aunts place” he asked handing the photo to Daichi

Daichi nodded looking at the photo Iruca held

It showed a small group of assorted men with one blond going grey woman in the middle. All wore blank Wandering Nin forehead protectors. The woman's husky blue eyes looking proudly at the young boy stood in front of her with her hands on his shoulders. The boy was grinning broadly proud as can be with his hands supporting the blank bandana forehead protector.

“The day I was declared a Shinobi in training, I spent the next 2 years with Marac, he pointed to a big ox of a man to one side of the photo, before I could operate alone” Daichi sighed and smiled

“You remind me of one of my students at that age” Iruka looked about him “you remind me of him now” he laughed

“Come on Trouble” Daichi called to Haruko “best get this mess cleaned up, you helping?” he asked Iruka “or was there another reason to extend the amount of mess in here” he smiled

“Oh right” Iruca Hit his forehead with the heal of his hand “ the Kage and representatives wish to meet you

“Not now I hope” Daichi's cheerful look was a bit forced he know this would come, what with passed events involving the Sound and other parties, most Wandering Nin had gone underground and he was the first in 5 years to try for chuunin

“No tomorrow first thing in the Hokage's office, I will escort you there, well if you survive this mess”

The pare smiled at each other and were helped or hindered by Aki and Haruko, Daichi wasn't sure which, and managed to get the place looking back to normal before the mess was discovered

Daichi settled down to his meal and to gossip with the others when Haruko's mother gave a firm clearing of her thought and pointed at a very proud Aki walking it to the room with one of his Kunai in her mouth

“I allow the fox happily but NO kunai in the dining room”, she pointed her ladle at him fiercely

Daichi blushed and ducked his head swiftly diapering the Kunai into his currently empty leg holster

It had been one of his Special kunai, handed down tough his clan to aid with their bloodline ability, why was Aki carrying it?

Iruca stopped in a nearby ally after hi had left the occupants to their meal choosing not to stop this time, he reached for his belt pouch and came up empty, the unusual kunai he had swiftly pocketed during the clean up had disappeared, he sighed he had hoped it would be one of the clues to help him discover who this young man was, he sighed and headed home
