บท 90: Valentines Special - Prologue Chapter
Prologue to an upcoming arc.
*SPOILER WARNING*
Valentine's Day Special.
—————————————
Amongst the streets of the Hidden Leaf Village…
Naruto chased after a particular figure.
"Karin!" Naruto called out.
"Don't follow me!" Karin rejected.
"Karin!"
"Please!"
"Only you can help me out!" Naruto continued to chase after her.
...
A few moments back…
*Sounds of writing on a paper*
"Mmmmm…." Naruto hummed along as he signed his name on the paper.
"Done!" Naruto stared at the letter he wrote.
("Hinata's dad is unpredictable!")
("I can't just sneak into their house.")
("It would be rude, not to mention father (in-law) might get angry at me…")
("Looks like I have to use a proxy to get this letter through.")
("Using Flying Thunder God technique is kinda unpredictable since Hinata might be taking a bath or dressing up…")
("Though, it has been a while since I have seen her like that…") .Naruto thought, following which he left the house along with the letter in hand.
*Sounds of footsteps.*
("Who should I give this letter through?") Naruto thought as he walked through the streets.
"BOSS!" A voice called out.
"Ah!"
"Konohamaru!" Naruto turned to stare at the figure behind him.
"What's that in your hand boss?"
"Is it a letter for the wife?" Konohamaru asked.
"EH?" Naruto was shocked.
("Wife?")
("When did he…")
"That's…."
"ummm..." Naruto struggled to come up with an explanation.
Konohamaru understood the letter was meant for Hinata.
"BOSS!"
"Unfortunately, I will not be able to help you…"
"Those two sister's dad is very strict."
"Even I don't have a chance to meet my girlfriend these days…" Konohamaru said.
"What?"
"Girlfriend?" Naruto stared at Konohamaru.
"It's your wife's little sister!"
"Though she is still not my girlfriend yet, I am this close to defeating her in battle," Konohamaru said.
"Hanabi-chan?"
"But how?" Naruto asked.
"Hehe!"
"Boss!"
"I am your rival!"
"If you can do it, then I can as well!" Konohamaru gave a thumbs up.
"Ah"
("The hell!")
("I forgot, Konohamaru always looked towards me for inspiration.")
("Sorry Hanabi-chan") Naruto felt apologetic towards Hanabi.
"Konohamaru!" Moegi and Udon called out.
"Looks like academy break is over Boss!"
"I gotta go!"
"Greet sister-in-law for me!" Konohamaru said.
Meanwhile, Naruto stared with his mouth wide-open at Konohamaru's departing back…
…..
"Who else can help me…" Naruto murmured as he walked along the streets.
(WOOF!) A ninja dog ran past Naruto.
"Kuromaru!" Kiba chased after the dog.
(WOOF!)
(WOOF!) Akamaru chased after Kiba and the dog.
"Naruto!"
"Help me out!" Kiba said.
"Mm!" Naruto nodded following which he vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of the dog.
*SCCRREEECCHHH!!!!!*
The big black canine dog managed to stop.
(Woof!)
(Woof!) it barked at Naruto.
"Caught you!" Kiba yelled as he pounced onto the dog.
(WOOF!)
(WOOF!)
(WOOF!) The dog tried to struggle out.
"Hey Kiba!"
"Can you help me do something?" Naruto asked.
"Sorry, Naruto,"
"It has to be later; I'm afraid I've got my hands full at the moment," Kiba said.
"Oh!" Naruto said as he watched Kiba struggle to pull Kuromaru away by the collar.
"Tell Shino; I owe you one."
"Maybe he can help you out!" Kiba said as he struggled to walk the dog away.
"Shino, huh?"
"Where can I find him now…." Naruto murmured as he started to walk away.
….
Soon Naruto walked by Yamanaka flower shop.
("Maybe Ino can help me out…") Naruto thought, following which he walked into the shop.
"I see you are spending all out on flowers today…" Ino stared at the person with a green flak jacket who was standing in front of her.
"Um…"
"Yeah…" The man scratched his head.
"That will be five thousand Ryo!" Ino said.
"All Right!" The man paid her the cash.
As the man turned to walk out…
"Say hi to Kurenai sensei for me!" Ino said.
Naruto walked into the shop just as the man was about to leave.
"Asuma-sensei!"
"Are those flowers for Kurenai-sensei?" Naruto asked.
"Not you too!!" Asuma was shocked.
"Naruto-kun!" Ino waved.
"Ino!" Naruto greeted as he stepped into the shop.
"What brings you here?" Ino asked.
"Um…"
"I was wondering if you guys do flower deliveries…" Naruto asked.
"Flower deliveries?"
"I am the only one in the shop right now!" Ino said.
("Ah!")
("Looks like they did not start the flower delivery idea yet at this point of time…") Naruto thought.
"Ino!"
"Can you give a letter to Hinata for me?" Naruto asked.
"You are straightforward, huh?" Ino stared at Naruto.
"Can you do it?" Naruto asked.
"Well, you could ask Karin. She's the one who seems the closest to her apart from her teammates." Ino said.
"Karin?"
"Where am I going to find her now?" Naruto asked.
"You're in luck!"
"I just saw her pass by the shop a few minutes ago…"
"She must be in the street nearby," Ino said.
"Nearby huh?" Naruto murmured.
"Thanks!" Naruto said as he ran out of the shop.
"Hey!"
"At least buy a flower damn it!" Ino shouted.
…
("Is it a good idea to ask her to help me out?") Naruto thought as he walked past a few streets to look for Karin.
"There she is!" Naruto spotted Karin nearby a clothing shop.
"Karin!" Naruto called out as he ran towards her.
"Naruto!" Karin was surprised to see Naruto running towards her.
Her cheeks became lightly red upon seeing Naruto continuing to run towards her.
"Karin!" Naruto arrived by Karin's side.
"I need a favor!" Naruto said as he handed over the letter to her hands.
"A letter?" Karin murmured as she moved her hands to open it.
"What are you doing?" Naruto stopped her from opening.
"Huh?"
"Didn't you give me the letter to read?" Karin asked.
"Umm…" Naruto struggled to speak.
"I get it."
"It's for her isn't it?" Karin asked.
*Naruto gulped.*
"Hmph!" Karin started to walk away.
"Karin!" Naruto called out.
"Don't follow me!" Karin rejected.
"Karin!"
"Please!"
"Only you can help me out!" Naruto continued to chase after her.
Karin was angered but also felt helpless…
"Fine!"
"I'll do it!" Karin said as she snatched the letter from him.
…..
A few moments later…
"What did she say?" Naruto asked after seeing Karin walk out of the Hyūga district.
"She said she will meet you there," Karin replied.
"Thank you so much!" Naruto ran to hug Karin.
"Hmph!" Karin kicked Naruto in the face before he could hug.
"Owie!" Naruto groaned in pain.
("Serves you right!") Karin thought.
————————————————
Inside the main branch's house.
Hinata was busy dressing up in clothes that were different from her usual ninja outfit.
It was a different ninja outfit with long sleeves and a tight waistline.
Hinata stared at a ticket in her hand and smiled.
*Sound of door opening*
"I'll be back later!" Hinata said as she closed the door of her house and walked towards the compound gate.
*Sound of footsteps a few meters away…*
("Hmm?") Neji who was walking towards the branch clan residence lifted his head.
("Hinata-sama?") Neji stared at Hinata who was in different clothes as she headed outside the gates.
("Something doesn't add up!") Neji thought as he quietly followed Hinata, out of the range of her Byakugan.
————————————————
Outside the Hidden Leaf mall…
"Mom!"
"See!"
"It's a detective!" A kid spoke to his mom as he stared at a red-haired girl near a street lamp in a detective outfit with a detective cap and sunglasses who was staring at a yellow-haired boy a few meters away…
("He is smiling like an idiot!") Karin thought as she stared at Naruto who waited for Hinata with a smile on his face…
…
A few moments later…
"N-Naruto-kun!" Hinata called out Naruto in a soft voice.
"Hinata!" Naruto turned towards Hinata.
("WHAT THE HELL?") Neji stared at Hinata who was smiling at Naruto.
("What is he doing with Hinata-sama?") Neji thought.
"Let's go!" Naruto held Hinata's hand and led her into the mall.
"Ah..!" Hinata became surprised.
("Naruto!") Karin screamed inwardly.
(Bang!)
The street lamp fell after Karin twisted the beam out of anger.
….
Naruto and Hinata walked into a theatre hall following which the man at the door blocked the entrance.
However, two people did not notice the man's existence and continued to go in.
"HEY"
"YOU TWO!"
"WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING?" The man asked in anger.
"Huh?"
Neji and Karin turned around at the same time.
"If you are going to watch the movie then buy the tickets." The man said.
"Damn it!" Neji and Karin cursed at the same time following which they noticed each other's presence.
The two ran together to the ticket counter.
"Five Hundred Ryo per ticket." The man at the counter said.
"500 Ryo?" Neji stared in horror.
Karin saw the look on Neji's face.
"How much do you have?" Karin asked.
Neji stared at Karin for a second.
"I have Four hundred on me!" Neji said.
"Fine!"
"You'll owe me a hundred," Karin said as she took out her purse.
Soon the two rushed into the movie hall to grab the seats that were about two rows away from Naruto and Hinata.
The movie played on for a bit.
("Where have I seen this movie before?") Naruto thought.
"Oy Naruto!" A voice called out.
"Sasuke?" Naruto stared at the boy in the front seat.
"Naruto?" Sakura who was sitting by Sasuke's side turned back.
"You guys?"
"What are you two doing here?" Naruto asked.
"Hmph!"
"You are a loser!" Sasuke said.
"Don't you remember what Kakashi sensei said?" Sakura asked.
(Slash!)
(Slash!) (Slash!)
The woman on the screen slashed at the puppets in front of her.
*Sh!* *Sh!*
More puppets stood up again.
"You Should give up!"
"You should beg for forgiveness, Princess Fuun" An Old Man with an evil grin said.
"I will never give up." The woman spoke in a bold voice.
"I will turn everything that I have into strength,"
"And I will show that I can cut a way open!" The woman said following which colorful Chakra started to burn around her body.
"The seven color chakra is burning." A man nearby said.
"Let's go!"
"We shall also burn our chakra!" A man wearing a long cap said following which his nearby allies agreed.
"ALL RIGHT!" The Old Man with the Evil Grin shouted as he started to spin his staff to generate a massive storm.
"Hah!" The old man sent for the storm towards the group of men who surrounded the woman with colorful chakra burning around the group.
(Clang!)
(Clang!)
(Clang!)
Puppets across the battlefield got destroyed from the massive storm that was reflected towards them by the burning chakra…
(Whoosh!)
The Chakra started to concentrate on a sword that was raised by the woman while the group protected her.
"AAHHHHH!!!!!!"
"Hah!" The woman aimed the concentrated chakra to blast off the old man in front of her with the sword.
"AARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!" The man screamed while flying away along with the attack towards the sky which blast opened the clouds with a formation of a rainbow…
"That actress…" Naruto murmured…
