The Hotspring Demon

Chapter 7 (Grammer Check)

"If people are coming back left and right, it's only a matter of time before 'everyone' comes back!" Naruto explained. Tenjiro raised a brow as he asked: "What are you saying?"

"What I'm saying is that... what if... Yhwatch is reincarnated?" Naruto asked as Tenjiro dropped the stick in his mouth, "think about it. Unohana, Isane, Kirio, now Kenpachi, if this pattern follows it's only a matter of time bef-"

"IT WON'T HAPPEN!" Tenjiro shouted, "That Ichigo-brat and the traitor Azien got rid of that bastard years ago!"

"You told me that story, sensei! But listen to reason!"

"NO! He's dead! Deader than dead!" Tenjiro argued as Naruto sighed

"CAN YOU KEEP IT DOWN? I'm trying to relax," shouted a voice as Naruto turned around to see... a small orange fox with a folded rag covering its eyes. It looked relaxed as it leaned further into a Hotspring "This is the life," it said as Naruto turned his whole body

"Oi! Kurama! What do you think about this whole 'reincarnation' thing going on?" Naruto asked as Kurama waved it off

"Uh-huh, yeah sure, whatever you say," Kurama replied as Naruto sweatdropped

"You're not gonna get an answer out of him anytime soon," Tenjiro said as Naruto faced him again

"But what about the off chance he does come back, what do we do?" Naruto questioned as Tenjiro looked up at the steamy sky. He laid back into his chair and said: "If you're saying what I think you're saying... then that means we do stand a chance if he does,"

"What?" Naruto asked as Tenjiro pulled another stick out of nowhere and started to chew on it

"Ōetsu Nimaiya, Senjumaru Shutara, Ichibē Hyōsube; the rest of the Fourth Division. If they came back then we stand a chance. And if the rest of the shinigami come back, I'd say that we'd whoop his ass!" Tenjiro said with confidence as Naruto smirked

"Yeah, I guess we would," Naruto said

"Good, now stop worrying and get back to work! A medic's job is never done!" Tenjiro said as he kicked Naruto out of the mindscape. His smirk then turned into a frown as he looked at Kurama "You think he's gonna be ready?" he asked as the fox shrugged

"Only one way to find out... also, can you pass me my drink?" Kurama asked as Tenjiro looked down at a halved coconut with a straw sticking out of it

"How did you even?"

"Stop asking questions," Kurama replied as he stretched out a hand and grabbed a rock, threw said rock, hit a tree hard enough to cause it to shake, and a coconut fell in front of Tenjrio, "and enjoy it while it lasts,"

Later:

Mei was sitting at her desk as she looked at the paperwork she had done... and the paperwork she had yet to do... which towered over her like a pebble would a mountain. She banged her head against the desk as she grabbed her hair in frustration "This isn't gonna get done in time!" she shouted as an ANBU appeared in front of her

"Lady Mizukage! We've received news that a large group of Shinobi still loyal to Yagura are in the south!" he said as Mei looked up at him in surprise

"What?!"

"We need to send a team to take care of it, but we're stretched out thin as it is, as I'm sadly only 1 of 3 current Captains," the ANBU said as Mei sighed

"Get me, Uzumaki-san," Mei said as the ANBU nodded and left. When he was gone, Mei smirked to herself as she thought 'At least I get to see him again!' and a few minutes later, the ANBU appeared with Naruto. Naruto cocked his head to the side as he looked at her "Whatcha need?" Naruto asked as Mei straight up and coughed into her hand

"The south is under threat from Yagura Loyalists and we're spread out thin, we need you to help and support any available Shinobi," Mei ordered as Naruto nodded

"Alright, I'm Kirio though," Naruto replied

"Alright, as long as the job gets done," Mei replied as Naruto vanished.

Somewhere:

"These are called mint leaves and they have a cold 'heat' when you chew on them, so when you combine it with milk, heavy cream, and sugar, it makes nice ice cream!" Kirio explained as she was teaching Isane to make ice-cream

"Ohhh!" Isane replied as she watched the woman pour the said items inside a metal cylinder and put them in a bucket

"Now remember, when this stops spinning, that means it's done!"

"Okay, and don't eat it until after dinner?" Isane asked as Kirio nodded

"That's right! Now hand me the roast chuck!" Kirio asked as Isane nodded

"In the fridge?"

"Yup!" Kirio replied as she watched the little girl open the fridge. Kirio then heard the sound of wind in her ear as she saw Naruto giving Isane the Roast Chuck "Here you go, Isane-chan," he said as Isane tried to carry it.

"T-thank-you, B-bro!" Isane replied as Naruto looked at Kirio. He walked over to her and said: "We've got a job to do,"

"But I'm cooking dinner!" Kirio replied, "and I can't leave Isane alone with Unohana in the hospital!" she continued as Naruto sighed. He then vanished and reappeared as Mei fell to the ground "Watch Isane, will ya?" Naruto said as Mei looked up at him

"Excuse me, what?" Mei asked as Kirio handed her a piece of paper

"Here, these are instructions for the dinner I was planning on making! I've already set the oven and the vegetables are cut, just sprinkle salt and pepper over them and do whatever the paper says!" Kirio said quickly as Mei still had no idea what was going on

"WHAT?!" Mei asked as Kirio waved

"See you later!" Kirio said as she and Naruto vanished, leaving Mei alone with Isane. Mei stood up slowly as she looked down at Isane "Well... I guess I'm playing mommy for a bit," Mei said as Isane had sparkles in her eyes

"We're playing house?!" Isane asked as Mei smiled

"Yup! Now be a good girl and go play in your room," Mei said as Isane skipped to play with her toys. Looking down at the piece of paper, Mei walked in front of the oven and said: "Okay, I can do this... I can do this,"

2 Minutes Later:

"I can't do this!"

[Sorry if this chapter sucked and sorry it took so long to update. Laziness is a curse, but efficiency is just clever laziness, am I right? *Laughing to myself to make me feel better* Cut me some slack, please?]
