You're not the only one.... ×Book 1×

65. Prove it

Brushed my teeth

Washed my face

Took a shower

Got dressed

and brushed my hair

Once I was done with all that, I slipped on my shoes, grabbed my weapons belt, and left the house. Naruto said if I can find them to come along. I don't know where they'd usually hang out at, but I might as well look for it. Taking a deep breath, I clipped my weapons belt on and began walking.

~Jirayia's POV~

Naruto and I are already here eating ramen. Hopefully that girl he always talks about will decide to join us. All he does is talk about her nonstop, maybe if my plan goes the way I want he'll successfully tap into the Nine Tails Chakra. I sighed deeply and crossed my arms.

Minato....forgive me for what I'm about to do

~Ruka's POV~

I've been walking for a while now and thought about giving up. I can't find him anywhere. I exhaled deeply and stopped walking.
Where are they? I frowned and looked around, trying to see or even hear any sign of Naruto.

Nothing.

Maybe they went into a forest or something. I turned back around, getting ready to walk off when....

SMACK!!

I stopped in my tracks and turned back around. Seeing where the slap had come from.

"NARUTO! YOU PERVERT!"

I watched as Sakura came from behind a corner and angrily marched off, muttering swear words under her breath. I walked over to where she had just left from and saw Naruo lying on the ground, twitching, as a man with white hair looked down at him and shook his head.

"All you had to do was hug her" the man said simply "you didn't have to do all that."

Hug her, Naruto was trying to hug Sakura?

I frowned slightly upon hearing this but regained my posture and walked over to the two. They looked up as I approached and Naruto immediately jumped up from the ground and hugged me tightly.

"Ruka!" He exclaimed happily "you found us!"

I blushed a deep red and looked up at the man with white hair. He was simply staring at me curiously, as though trying to identify me. Naruto stopped embracing me and turned towards the man with a wide smile.

"Pervy Sage, this is Ruka!" He said happily "and Ruka, this is Pervy Sage I'm always telling you about."

"It's Jirayia!" The man snapped, glaring at Naruto.

I stared at Jirayia for a long time then bowed my head as a sign of respect.

"It's good to meet you J-Jirayia" I said shyly.

He contiuned staring at me then smiled slightly.

"Nice to meet you too."

Before I could react, Jirayia punched Naruto hard in the stomach. My eyes widened in surprise and I screamed as Naruto made a gagging sound then fell to the ground unconscious.

W-W-What's wrong with him, why would he do that?!

Tears blurred my vision and I slowly began backing away from him as he frowned sadly.

"Please don't" I pleaded as his hand shaped into a fist.

He exhaled deeply then I felt a hard impact hit my stomach. I hunched over in pain and the last thing I saw was Jirayia picking up Naruto's body before darkness consumed me.

~Jirayia's POV~

I'm already starting to regret this. She seemed so scared and unsure of what to do....but I have to do this. There's no going back now.

~Ruka's POV~

"WAKE UP!!"

Cold water met my skin and I jerked awake as I felt Naruto do the same next to me. We both looked at each other, remembering the incident that had happen before hand. Naruto turned and glared at Jirayia angrily as he balled his hands into fist.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Naruto yelled angrily standing up "I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST YOU!"

I stood up beside Naruto and nervously looked around. We were in what seemed like the middle of a forest, and there was a giant cliff behind us that led to nothing but darkness. I whimpered in fear and hugged myself for comfort. I want to get out of here.

"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO RUKA!" Naruto shouted "SHE NEVER DID ANYTHING TO-"

"SHUT UP!" Jirayia shouted, causing us to jump "YOUR TRAINING ENDS HERE!"

Naruto growled angrily and clenched his teeth as he glared at Jirayia. I could see the anger practically radiating off of him.

"Until you learn to successfully use the Nine Tails Chakra I won't train you!" Jirayia explained as Naruto looked both disappointed and angry.

"Why not?!"

"Because what if someone's life was on the line!" Jirayia said "you once said you would protect Ruka no matter what didn't you?!"

I blushed and turned towards Naruto who was also blushing. Did he really say that? I turned away from Naruto and looked to realize Jirayia was standing right in front of me.

"I did" Naruto said firmly

"Prove it!"

We both stared at Jirayia confused as he turned towards me, then kicked me hard in the chest. I flew backwards and before I even had time to scream, I began falling down the cliff.....

"RUKA!"
