In the Hokage's Office…
Hiruzen leisurely puffed out smoke as he continued to look towards the direction where the sand village was vaguely located…
"Maybe Shizune was right!"
"I should not have given him the necklace!" Tsunade murmured.
"Tsunade..." Hiruzen exhaled some smoke out after taking a whiff from the smoke pipe in his hands…
"Naruto is stronger than you think, What I want you to worry about is how effective you will be in the upcoming battle…"
"After all, you still have it right?" Hiruzen asked, hinting towards her Haemophobia.
Tsunade looked at the floor with an expression of helplessness across her face…
Jiraiya comforted her by placing his hands around her shoulders…
"How is the Medical ninja development training going?" Hiruzen asked.
Tsunade looked at Hiruzen.
"I have recruited three girls from the nine rookies, although…" Tsunade paused.
"Although..?" Hiruzen asked…
"There is one more girl, who did not belong to this year's batch of the nine rookies..."
"Moreover, She's an Uzumaki!" Tsunade said.
"That girl!" Jiraiya exclaimed a bit, with a strange expression...
"Mm!"
"She was the first candidate that Naruto suggested…" Hiruzen said.
"Jiraiya!" Tsunade called out.
"What?" Jiraiya asked.
"Don't think for a second that I did not see that expression across your face,"
"Now tell me!"
"Who is that girl?" Tsunade said in a firm voice.
"Um…" Jiraiya fidgeted with his fingers…
Tsunade raised a fist against Jiraiya.
"Wait!" Jiraiya flinched.
"Who is she?" Tsunade asked.
"It's just that, we both assumed that she was Naruto's girlfriend… " Jiraiya pointed towards Hiruzen.
"…" Hiruzen stared at Jiraiya.
"What is he talking about?" Tsunade asked.
Hiruzen felt like a headache was on his way…
"You remember Minato's wife?" Hiruzen asked.
"Fourth's wi-" Tsunade paused, upon which the image match displayed in her mind…
"Minato and Kushina"
"Yellow and Red…"
"Naruto and K…a..rin…" Tsunade slowly murmured.
"Turned out she was not his girlfriend…" Jiraiya said in a sad voice.
"So does he have one?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes!" Jiraiya said.
"It's…."
"…." Tsunade stared at Jiraiya.
"It's…."
"Go on…" Tsunade persuaded.
"Tsunade!"
"Stop pressurizing Jiraiya!"
"We have more important things at hand!" Hiruzen warned them from getting off topic.
"Sorry!" Tsunade backed away from Jiraiya…
"Now then about the development…" Hiruzen asked following which, Tsunade talked about the critical things that were concerning the newly established Office for her use at the Hidden Leaf general Hospital…
———————————————————
On a certain bridge….
There were four people, One old man, two middle-aged men, one of which had his lower-half of the face covered by a mask and a young boy were crossing the bridge with a cart full of goods…
"Aren't you both supposed to leave today?"
"You won't be able to make it if you continue for the evening shift" An old man by the side talked to the young boy.
"Yeah!"
"You two deserve to have a week off!" The middle-aged man supported the old man's words…
"I think we should be able to make it in time…" The young boy smiled towards the other two; meanwhile, the one who wore a mask was walking beside the group silently,
....
"Thank You for your hard work!" A young woman greeted the group at the end of the bridge.
"Aren't you two supposed to leave for that place?" The young woman asked…
The man with the mask broke his silence.
"We are leaving right now!" He said, following which he turned towards the young boy beside him.
"Let's go!" He said.
The young boy and the man in the mask turned to walk across the bridge again…
However, before they could take a step further….
"WAIT!" The young woman called out, following which the duo turned around to see the young woman handing out a box covered with a napkin.
"Your lunch!" She said.
"Mm!" The duo nodded following which the young boy ran towards the young woman and collected the box…
"Take care of yourselves Hajime-kun and Arata-san!" The young woman waved from her spot, while the duo walked away…
...
A few minutes later…
At the bottom of a particular hill, The duo stared at two gravestones, one with a blade behind it…
The duo stared for quite a while…
"Are you content with your life?" Hajime asked.
Arata stared at the grave for a few more moments…
"I just feel that peace was not meant for people like us…" Arata said in a low voice.
Hajime stared at Arata.
"Zabuza!"
"Don't tell me yo-"
"IT'S NOT THAT!" Zabuza stopped Haku from continuing.
"I wonder what he is doing now…" Haku looked towards the bridge that was visible from the hill.
"Let's Go!" Zabuza said.
"Yes!" Haku followed Zabuza as they started to walk in the direction of the village.
While, He thought back to the time, where Zabuza's and his life changed…
———————————————————
Back on the battlefield, Chiyo breathed heavily, trying to chase after Sasori…
However, she was too old to recover her energy fast like the young ninjas….
Hah!
Hah!
Hah!
"Damn it!"
Hah!
Hah!
"I can.."
"Only hope that Rasa will be able to handle him for the time being…" Chiyo thought, while slowly walking towards the direction Sasori traveled in…
Meanwhile…
*muffled footsteps*
Sasori walked across the desert and finally stopped at a place, only to see Rasa and Sasuke barely making it away from the area of the explosion.
(BBBBBBOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(BBBBBBOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The two Jutsu's explosion continued to cover a wide area.
...
Soon…
A massive cloud of sand was spread across the area preventing anyone from seeing through the dust…
Kakashi felt a bit weak from utilizing his Sharingan for a long time…
However, that did not stop him from trying to observe the size of the craters which would be formed as an aftereffect from the explosion.
"Mine is going to be bigger in size!" Deidara said.
"No mine is going to be bigger!" Naruto interrupted.
Soon they both started arguing over the result.
Meanwhile, Kakashi kept observing the result from the explosion.
("From this high in air….")
("Those explosions seem to have the same area of coverage…")
("More like it was the same explosion that blasted at both places…")Kakashi thought as he continued to observe.
Soon… the dust cloud cleared up from the area…
"This…." Deidara and Naruto stared in horror.
"They are both of the same size," Kakashi said.
Deidara looked towards Naruto and smiled…
"My man, it seems we both are in a tie…" Deidara said.
"Mm!" Naruto nodded.
"Deidara!" Sasori called out.
"HMM?" Deidara looked out from the top of the bird to see an ant-sized Sasori on the ground.
"Sasori!"
"My man!" Deidara greeted.
"Where the hell is Orochimaru?" Sasori asked.
Deidara gestured the bird to land on the ground.
KYAROOO!!!!! The bird cried, following which it quickly descended the ground.
("What is the other Akatsuki member doing here?")
("Was that old woman defeated?") Kakashi thought upon seeing Sasori.
("No way, what is he doing here?")
("What happened to the others?") Naruto thought as he quickly tried to sense around.
("Whew!")
("Looks like everyone is safe, though what is Sasuke and the Fourth Kazekage doing?") Naruto thought as they descended towards the ground.
Soon…
The bird landed on the ground, following which the trio got up from the bird and jumped onto the field.
"Orochimaru fled away before I could try to catch him!" Deidara reported.
"What were you doing with these guys?" Sasori asked.
"Oh them?"
Deidara walked towards Kakashi and Naruto and brought Naruto out to meet Sasori.
Meanwhile, Kakashi who was tired of seeing everything through his Sharingan closed his left eye with the headband and took out a small orange book from his kunai pocket.
< Normal Technique - Reading Porn like a Gentleman! >
Kakashi started to read Make out Paradise…
"My man!"
"I met a guy who likes explosions!" Deidara pointed towards Naruto.
"Introduce yourself!" Deidara gave a push.
"I am Uzumaki Naruto" Naruto introduced himself without holding back.
"Aren't you a jinchuūriki?" Sasori asked.
("Shit!") Naruto's expression froze.
"So what if he is…" Deidara interrupted while placing his hand around Naruto's shoulder.
"He likes Art!" Deidara declared with a smile.
"Art is an explosion!" Naruto said with a smile while raising a victory/peace symbol against Sasori to prove Deidara's words…
"No! Art is something that lasts for an eternity!" Sasori argued.
"Hmm…"
"This is art!" Kakashi murmured as he continued to read.
Naruto, Deidara, and Sasori *TRIGGERED*
