Secrets and Truths

Chapter 9

The door opened to reveal a short girl that looked around Naruto's age. She had bright pink hair and green eyes that were a lot lighter than Ahymas. She was wearing a sort of deep red dress that had slits on the sides so she could move her legs around easier, along with black capris underneath the dress. It overall looked like a average female shinobi outfit, girly but appropriate for ninja duties.

But Ahyma noticed right away about the girl wasn't how she dressed, but just how pissed off she was when she saw Naruto standing there. Completely oblivious to Ahyma standing right behind Naruto, she started to scold him.

"NARUTO! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!" The pinkette yelled causing Naruto to take a step back. Clearly starting to fear the angry girl.

"YOU HAVE BEEN AWAY FOR ALMOST A WHOLE DAY AND YOU LEFT NO NOTE, NO NOTHING TO TELL US WHERE YOU WERE GOING!" She continued to scream at poor Naruto who just stood there and took it.

"Jeez Sakura chill out, I was just out working on my chakra training and accidentally fell asleep." Naruto explained as Sakura gave the boy a glare.

"After all, I'm here so that's what matters. Glad to know you were worried about me Sakura, seems you have a crush on me." Naruto winked teasingly which earned him a hard punch to the head.

Naruto let out a yelp and crumpled to the ground in pain as Sakura let out a angry huff. Her fist raised up with a bulging vein showing through it.

"Holy shit." Ahyma thought, clearly caught off guard at the girls bold movements.

"Her temper is about as worse as my moms when I forget to put my spoon in the sink." Ahyma shuddered while thinking about that time where she looked death in the eye that day. And how pissed off her mother was over a Spoon. A fuckin Spoon.

"Dont.Ever.Say.That.Again.You.Idiot." Sakura gritted her teeth and she raised her fist again to plummet Naruto into the ground when Ahyma quickly caught Sakura's fist in her hand.

The girls eyes went wide as she finally took notice in Ahyma's presence. Her fist was seized by Ahymas bigger hand forcing the girl to look up, her calm green eyes looked directly into Sakuras shocked lighter eyes. Clearly getting uncomfortable under Ahyma's cold gaze, Sakura gulped and took a step back.

"Wh...who the hell are you?" Sakura slightly stuttered are she reached for her bag. Clearly reaching for a kunai or some sort of weapon that the girl could use against Ahyma. Still unaware that Ahyma was not the enemy.

Ahyma held her hands up in defense, showing that she didn't mean any harm and wasn't planning on attacking.

"Sorry about that, I just couldn't let you beat up Naruto just for him taking an unexpected nap." Ahyma reassured and Sakura's hand halted on its journey to her bag, her green eyes nervously darting between Naruto and Ahyma.

"I was just helping Naruto get back here since I was training in the woods as well." Ahyma continued as the girl still seemed unconvinced

"I'm Ahyma by the way, nice to meet you Sakura." Ahyma finished while helping the dazed Naruto to his feet, but Sakura still looked weery.

"How can I trust that you? You could be an enemy that just wants to hurt Naruto and is just gaining his trust just to only turn on him later?" The pinkette shot at Ahyma to which caused woman sighed as she rubbed her eyes.

"I don't indeed on you to trust me, and you don't have to. After all I was going to leave once Naruto arrived safely. So you won't have to worry about me anymore." Ahyma said flatly while mentally rolling her eyes.

Sakura stared at Ahyma with uncertainty, and the woman brushed the dirt off Naruto who fussed under her care. Clearly not wanting to be treated like he was 5 in front of his assumed to be crush.

"Sakura, who are you talking too?" A sudden bored masculine voice broke the silence between the three.

Ahyma felt Naruto perk up at the voice, he was suddenly attentive yet nervous to whoever the voice belonged too.

Ahyma looked up to a man appearing from around the corner, he was wearing a normal leaf shinobi uniform which clearly means that he was the sensei Naruto kept mentioning.

It was hard to see his whole face since his headband and a black mask covered nearly his whole face expect for his right eye that allowed him to see. The only other thing that Ahyma could see of this mans physical description was his neatly kept silver hair.

The man looked at Sakura, who then followed her gaze to Naruto. Who nervously looked away from him, clearly worried about what his sensei was going to say next.

His eye then landed on Ahyma, who scanned her up and down. As if sizing her up in case she decided to pick a fight, analyzing her just be Ahyma standing there.

His keen eye then locked a gaze with Ahymas green ones, to which she boredly looked back at the man. Exchanging the same look he was giving her, a blank one.

"And who must you be?" He asked, never breaking eye contact with her.

"Ahyma." She answered flatly and the man only gave a small nod.

"I'm Kakashi Hatake, Naruto's sensei."
