Saori P.O.V
- Yawn...Good morning. - Sakura said getting in the room.
- Morning. – we said.
- Naruto didn't come back again last night?
- He's been climbing trees all alone since he heard your story, he may have used too much chakra and died by now. – Sakura said.
- Great faith you have on your teammate, Sakura. – I said with a hint of annoyed.
- I hope he's alright, a child all alone at night in the woods. – Tsunami said.
- Don't worry. – Kakashi said.
- Naruto might not look like it but he's a great ninja, a strong one too. – I said.
- I don't know...it wouldn't surprise me if he was dead. – Sasuke said.
I sighed.
BONK
- Hey! – Sasuke said.
I raised an eyebrow and he stopped.
- Why do you keep hitting my Sasuke-kun? – Sakura said.
- To teach him. Why do you keep hitting Naruto even when he's nice to you? – I said.
She looked at me surprised with my comeback.
- I'm gonna go for a walk. – Sasuke said getting up.
I looked at him and he nodded which made me smile.
- Tsunami-san can I take a bit of breakfast to Naruto? – I asked.
- Of course! Here, tell him to be careful and work hard! – she said.
- I will. – I said.
- Sakura you'll protect Tazuna today again. – Kakashi said.
- Ok. – she said.
- You rest, I'll go look for them. – I said to Kakashi and he nodded.
*At the Forest*
- Hi there. – I said to Naruto who was now with Sasuke.
- Hi Saori-nee-chan! – Naruto said.
- Here, eat. – I said.
- Thank you! – he said.
- So, are you going to give me tips today? – Sasuke asked.
- US! Not only you! – Naruto said with mouth full.
- He's right Sasuke, I'll give you both some tips. – I said.
- Fine. – he mumbled.
I sweatdropped, this guy.
- DONE! – Naruto said.
- Geez, don't need to eat that fast! – I said laughing a bit.
He grinned at me.
- Ok then. Sasuke climb the tree. – I said.
He nodded and started climbing. Not bad but still he's using too much chakra.
- Ok. Naruto your turn. – I said.
- OKAY! – he said and started climbing.
Better, with some flaws but better than the other times.
- Ok. Both of you come here. – I said.
They came near me.
- I assume that both of you don't know what you're doing wrong. Correct? – I said.
They nodded.
- Okay. Sasuke you're using too much chakra, that's why your feet are leaving marks on the tree. As Kakashi said before it only needs a small amount of chakra but it has to be exact. – I said.
He looked at the tree and then nodded.
- Naruto, you're using just little bit of chakra. The amount needed is small but not that small. – I said.
He nodded.
- Now that I told you what's wrong try to climb again thinking about what I just told you. – I said.
They nodded and tried again.......much better, although.
I sighed.
- Come here again. – I said.
They did as I said.
- You guys are making an error. – I said.
- What? – they asked.
- Sasuke stop concentrating on Naruto! Naruto stop concentrating on Sasuke! You're both getting distracted by that and then you lose focus. – I said.
They glared at each other.
- Go on, try again. – I said.
They tried it.......I smiled.
- See. You need to concentrate in what you're doing. – I said.
*Next Day*
- Okay, you're getting better. Today let's try something else. Shall we? – I said.
- YES! – Naruto said excited.
Sasuke smirked.
- Okay. Remembered that usually ninjas gather chakra while moving, correct? – I said.
They nodded.
- You're training today is try to catch me without fall from the tree. – I said.
- How so? – Sasuke asked.
- We'll be running vertically on the tree while moving and jumping tree to tree while I throw kunais at you. – I said smiling.
- Sounds fun! – Naruto said.
- Agree. – Sasuke said.
- Ok. Let's start! – I said and started climbing.
*Some hours passed*
They were both on the floor panting.
I went near them.
- How were those falls? – I asked amused.
- Meany Saori-nee-chan! – Naruto said anime crying.
I laughed.
- What about you Sasuke? – I asked.
- Shut up. – he said glaring slightly.
I chuckled.
- Come on, let's go. You trained well today. You're improving a lot. – I said happy.
Naruto grinned and Sasuke smirked.
*Seventh Morning of the Training*
I was sitting on the ground leaning against a tree when.
- Where is Naruto? – I heard Sakura.
- He left again by himself last night. – I heard Kakashi.
- And Sasuke-kun and Saori-sensei left and haven't come back yet. – Sakura said.
- Huh? Saori, what are you doing here alone? – Kakashi said.
I got up.
- Yo! – I said smiling.
- Where's Na – Sakura started but then a kunai was thrown.
- Huh? – Sakura and Kakashi said and looked up.
- Hehe. – Naruto said from the tree.
- He can already climb that high? – Sakura said.
I looked at him and smiled.
- What do you think?! Look how high I can climb now! – Naruto said happy.
He was getting up when he "slipped".
- AHHH IDIOT! – Sakura said.
- Naruto! – Kakashi said.
I smirked.
- Just kidding! – Naruto said hanging upside down.
- Eh? – Kakashi said.
- Haha! You fell for it! – Naruto said.
- YOU SCARED ME! IDIOT! – Sakura said.
Kakashi was looking at me.
- What? – I said.
- What did you do? – he asked.
- Nothing! I trained him Kaka-baka! – I said.
- AHHH! STUPID NARUTO! – we heard Sakura.
Me and Kakashi looked...I widened my eyes....Naruto!
- AHHHHH! – Naruto said.
I was ready to jump when.
- You idiot. – Sasuke said hanging upside down grabbing Naruto's foot.
I sighed in relief.
- SASUKE-KUN! – Sakura said.
- So him too huh. – Kakashi said.
- They're both my students, I wasn't going to leave any of them behind. – I said.
Kakashi gave me a closed eyed smile.
*At Night at Tazuna's House*
We were now done eating dinner when.
- Oh, you guys are finally back. What's up with you? You're all dirty and worn out. – Tazuna said.
- Heh...both of us... Naruto started.
- ...Made to the top. – Sasuke finished.
I looked at them...Sasuke helping Naruto stand........Naruto...please be his light when I can't.
- All right! Naruto and Sasuke, starting tomorrow you 2 will also help protect Tazuna-san. – Kakashi said.
- OK! – Naruto said excited and fell along with Sasuke.
- Idiot! – Sasuke said.
I chuckled.
*After they eat*
Naruto was basically sleeping at the table, Sasuke almost when.
- WHY DO YOU GUYS BOTHER TO TRY SO HARD?! NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRAIN, YOU'RE STILL NO MATCH FOR GATOU'S MEN! NO MATTER WHAT GLORIOUS CLAIMS YOU MAKE OR HOW HARD YOU WORK...WHEN FACING THE STRONG, THE WEAK WILL ONLY END UP GETTING KILLED!!! – Inari screamed looking at Naruto with tears rolling down his face.
- Whatever kid. I'm not like you. – Naruto said bored.
- I'D HATE TO BE LIKE YOU!!! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, YET YOU'RE BEING SO NOSY! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?! I'M DIFFERENT FROM YOU! YOU'RE ALWAYS CLOWNING AROUND AND ACTING SO CHEERFUL, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HARD LIFE CAN BE AND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE TREATE LIKE TRASH! – Inari screamed.
I narrowed my eyes at him and so did Naruto and Sasuke.
- So...it's okay for you to pose as the star of a tragedy and cry all day? – Naruto said serious.
- Naruto! – Sakura said in a warning tone.
- JUST KEEP ON CRYING FOREVER YOU IDIOT! YOU CRY BABY! – Naruto said mad.
- NARUTO! You've said enough! – Sakura said.
- Hmph! – Naruto said and went to his room.
Sasuke got up and went as well.
I got up and went upstairs as well.
*In the Room*
Sakura got in minutes after.
- Naruto went too far this time. – Sakura said.
- Sakura...if you don't know things than you should just shut up. – I said serious.
- W-What? – she said.
- Do you even know why he acted like that?! – I said.
- Doesn't matter! Inari is just a child! – Sakura said.
- He said that Naruto didn't know what it's like to be treated like trash! – I said.
- And he doesn't! He doesn't have the life they have! – Sakura said.
- Do you even listen to yourself?! What do you think? That his life is made of rainbows and flowers?! – I said.
- He just acts like this because he doesn't have no parents! – Sakura said.
..................
- Do you think he chose not to have them?! What the hell is wrong with you!? – I said.
.....................
- His parents died on the day Kyuubi attack, they died minutes after he was born Sakura! – I said.
- W-What? – she said.
- Sasuke doesn't have parents either! I don't have parents either! Both of our parents were MURDERED! My bestfriend died as well! So Sakura tell me! Do you even know how hard life is?! What difficulty did you have until now?! Your parents not giving something that you wanted?! – I said.
She widened her eyes a bit.
- Naruto since he was little people treated him like trash, always putting him down. Since I came to the village people always said that they didn't want me there. Sakura...Naruto is the one that understands Inari the most! His life, Sasuke's life, my life, Kakashi's life is much worse! You're lucky but I hear you whine CONSTANTLY about this and that! Just GROW UP Sakura! – I said.
She looked down.
I went to the window and left and went to the roof.
Sasuke was there, I went to him and sat.
- What are you doing here? – I asked.
He didn't answer.
- Is it happening again? – I asked.
He simply nodded.
I sighed.
- I'm sorry. Is there something I can do? – I asked.
- No...thanks though. – he said.
- Anytime. – I said and looked at the sky.
- Saori. – he said.
- Yeah? – I said.
- I don't want to be on this team. – he said.
- Sasuke...come on now. I just gave a lecture to Sakura on how she should think and treat her teammates better and now you say you don't want to be in the team. – I said.
He looked down................
- Sasuke...it's okay to get attached. We won't go anywhere. – I said.
- But I need to. I have a goal. – he said.
- Sasuke we talked about this, that's not a healthy goal. – I said.
- I don't care...I want revenge Saori. He has to pay. – he said.
- Sasuke...you can't get consumed by that darkness. That won't take you anywhere, trust me. – I said.
- Saori...he HAS to pay. – he said looking at me with sad, mad and dark eyes.
I sighed.
- Sasuke...I get you, I truly do. But try not to get so consumed by all that darkness, okay? I'll help you in whatever you need. – I said.
He calmed down and nodded.
- Come on, let's go inside to try and rest. – I said.
He nodded.
- Don't kill Naruto in his sleep. – I said amused.
He smirked.
- Good luck with not killing your student. – he said.
I sweatdropped...true.
- Goodnight. – I said.
- Goodnight. – he said.
We both went to our respective rooms.
...............he's letting the darkness take over.......I just hope that it can be stopped.
