Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Kesenai Ai no Memories ❯ Remember ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter Five “ Remember… “

 

“ Have you send a scroll to that boy? “, Master Tsunade asked to Shizune who replied by nodding at the Godaime.

 

“ Can we trust him? “, Sakura asked in worried tone. The Godaime just smirked and said, “ Of course, I know once Naruto saw him he's definitely get surprise… “. The two just looked at each other, very confused to the answer of the Hokage.

 

 

It's getting dawn and that shinobi, together with some of his ninja wolves, has already found the place where the next Hokage hanged. A loud noise could be heard inside the creepy laboratory.

 

 

“ You son of the bitch! What do you want? Let me go!! “, Naruto madly hollered while he was trying to lose the tight knot on his both arms.

 

“ You better shut your mouth… Once I'm done on experimenting on you! You're a Jinchuuriki I need to find out more about you… if I succeed on getting important information about you… I can control everything even the world. Ha! Ha! “, The loony medic responded with an evil laugh but cut short when someone interfered.

 

“ You better knock it off! “, the shinobi said as he was standing on the door and his being was vague because the light was behind him.

 

“ What the— how did you know we're here? “, the medic asked in tremble posture.

 

“ I don't feel explaining everything to an old pea brain creature like you… release him or else you'll die! “, He warned while pointing to Naruto. The medic laughed again and stepped back trying to get something from his back.

 

“ Who do you think you're talking to? He-he… You'll regret for intruding in my place alone “, said by the crazy medic holding a very poisonous potion in his left hand.

 

“ Be careful!! “, Naruto shouted as the crazy medic was ready to splash the contents of the said pot to the intruder. Alerted, the shinobi quickly dodged it and kicked the old medic against the wall, which made Naruto gaped in astonishment at the same time.

 

“ His speed was faster than Sasuke! “, he thought. “ Do you think I'm weak and easily be killed by your lunatic moves? Hn! “, The shinobi asked and positioned himself for the next attack. The medic quickly got up and planned to run away but the shinobi moved faster than him casting a jutsu.

 

“ Multiple Fire shuriken technique! “, He shouted as his attack landed on the roof making it fell off and blocked completely the way. The said medic was now stumbled on the floor and stammered in great fright.

 

“ W-wait a minute… we can… t-talk this matter… t-tell me all the t-things you want…we can share anything about that Jinchuuriki 's power… Just let me- “ The shinobi just smirked.

 

“ Sad to say, I'm not interested about that… when someone told me an order… it must be accomplished not ignored! So, say your last prayer “, while being said the shinobi swayed his sword-shaped fire manipulation jutsu and stabbed to the medic killing him at once. Outside the lab could hear the loud out cry and the birds flew wearily around the place. Naruto turned frightened once he saw in his very own eyes the incident happened to the medic and his supposition vanished at once.

 

“ He's not Sasuke… who's he? Why is he helping me? “, Naruto thought on his own while still looking at the shinobi who stood few meters from him. Then, the said intruder was now looking at him and now, taking steps towards his place and said, “ Are you all right? “.

 

“ Ye-yeah! I'm fine… “, Naruto replied and deep within himself he was so scared this time as he saw that the shinobi was now taking a kunai out of his holster. His thought shaken when the said shinobi was now in front of him and their faces was now so close making Naruto blushed and again making stupid thoughts.

 

“He has many similarities with Sasuke… Wow! What a long eyelashes…he looks really good… hey, what am I thinking about him? There's no way he can be a like with Sasuke! Shut up brain! “.

 

“ Here you go… you're free! Let's get out of here now “, the shinobi said as he managed to released the knot around Naruto's arms but the blonde quickly stayed away from him hiding himself in the dark.

 

“ What's wrong? “, the shinobi doubly asked.

 

“ Who are you? Why did you help me? “, Naruto asked.

 

“ I'm Honoo Okami… a shinobi sent by Master Tsunade for your retrieval so, don't worry I'm not an enemy “, Okami explained and introduced as he started to walk towards Naruto 's place.

 

“ Stay away from me! Your job is done and I appreciate it so just go! “, Naruto shouted.

 

“ Nah-ah! I'm not yet finished in my task and for your information, I'd promise the Godaime Hokage to take you back home safe “, Okami reasoned out and he was really puzzled to Naruto's demeanor.

 

“ I can go home alone! Just go and leave me! “, Naruto shyly said persuading Okami not to take anymore steps towards him. Okami finally noticed something and chuckled.

 

“ Oh well, I know why are you acting like that”. While being said, he unzipped his upper garment making Naruto cringed and shouted.

 

“ What are you doing? “. Okami smiled and held out his clothes to the cute blond boy.

 

“ Here, wear it for a meantime… that's the only garment I could take off… if you stay undressed for a long time you'll definitely get some cold “, Okami offered. Naruto blushed again and he reached out the said garment hesitantly grabbing it off from Okami's hand.

 

“ Look that way! “, he commanded. Okami just rolled his eyes and mumbled, “ Come on, you're acting like a girl, huh? “.

 

“ Don't complain! Just follow! “, Naruto blurted and with a deep sigh Okami turned back getting some dry clean blanket near him.

 

“ Even the attitudes… were all the same with… Hey, here I am again… making comparisons! Tch! Could you please stop thinking about him brain! Hmp! Anyway, why am I hiding here… we're both guys…Sheesh! I really hate myself acting like this in front of him ”, Naruto annoyingly thought while taking the said garment on but figured out that it didn't cover all his body. His legs were still visibly seen so he requested something to the cool shinobi.

 

“ Hey, could you please look for my clothes out there? ”

 

“ Here, I've found this blanket… wrapped it around and let's go, shall we? I really don't feel to search for your clothes “, Okami impatiently said and he held the said blanket to Naruto which grabbed by the blond at once. After wrapping the said blanket around his body, Naruto started to take steps towards Okami but suddenly he stopped for a minute.

 

“ What are you doing? “ Okami was kneeling and his back in front of the blond and looks like the cool shinobi was offering a back ride.

 

“ We'll go much faster if we do this… “

 

“ What? That's gross! I don't want to! “, Naruto childishly pouted whilst he's blushing. Again, Okami rolled his eyes and deeply sigh mumbling, “ So stubborn!”

 

“ Are you saying something? “

 

“ I know… but do you think you can leap from tree to tree with that kind of clothes without any problems? … You'll definitely lag us down… This is my mission so I need to finish it within a reasonable time “, Okami declaimed.

 

 

Naruto sighed deeply and he took the offer. No choice `coz it was true it wasn't his mission after all so whether he like it or not… he should assent everything Okami asked for him to do.

 

 

“ I'll not forgive myself if I'm the cause…once that granny will scold you for being such a slow shinobi “, Naruto remarked and Okami just smiled at him.

 

“ Thanks for the concern… I know you understand the situation because you're a shinobi, too. “

 

“ Yea, so let's go now! “, Naruto happily said with a grin. On the way, Naruto didn't pass the chance not to get to know his hero.

 

“ Wait a minute… Hero? Yes, that sounds good for him to call since he really saved me from that loony bin but if I've only took precautions on accompanying that old medic this would never happens… It was my entire fault for having a trust on that man…on the other hand…I would never ever meet him… He looks interesting to deal with unlike Sai! “, Naruto blushingly thought.

 

“ You know what, you're a little bit heavy “, Okami seriously complained. Naruto flushed and retorted, “ This is your idea so take the consequences and it's not my fault if I'm heavy! “

 

“ Yea, right…dun! “, Okami chuckled teasing Naruto with his words.

 

“ What? Don't call me dun! I have my name you twit! “, He rant.

 

“ Okay, you don't need to be so rowdy… I can hear you and don't call me twit “, the black-haired dansei rebuked.

 

“ Hah! My name is Uzumaki Naruto; make sure you'll never forget to call me on my name… so I won't call you twit… Concur with that? “, He replied with a big smile. Okami ungracefully landed on a branch making the blond out-balanced from his back as he leaped again from it.

 

“ Why you! What's your problem? “, Naruto huffed.

 

“ If you don't wanna fall… better cling tight, dun… “, Okami just remarked.

 

“ I'm gravely mistaken that he is interesting to deal with! Tch! I'll definitely kick you ass off once we get back to Konoha you bastard! “, Naruto irritably thought.

 

 

It's a long route so Naruto couldn't manage to stay awake for a long time. In fact, he's really weary…after that stupid incident inside that creepy lab so…

 

 

“ Hey, Okami! You don't mind if I take a nap? “, Naruto asked with a yawn.

 

“ Go ahead, I'll wake you up once we arrive to our destination “, Okami replied.

 

“ Thanks… “, And with that being said Naruto quickly closed his eyes and slept. He never knew that their route towards the leaf village changed.
