The Lost Jinchūriki (Naruto Fanfiction)

Chapter 5: What if?

*Naruto's POV*

I soon woke up again, but I was glad to see it wasn't painful anymore. I was turned on my right facing the wall of katanas. But I felt something pushed against my back. Then it moved. So, I turned and saw a hump under the covers on the side of me.

It slowly moved up and down. Moving the covers, I see a small little girl who had to be a few years younger than me laying there asleep.

She had cool blue colored hair. Also, she had pink swirls on her tanned cheeks. She looked pretty cute.

I didn't want to wake her, so I started to get up from the bed slowly. But before I was up, I was pulled down by the little girl as I looked into her eyes. "Where are you going?" She asked me but I didn't answer as I wondered about her eyes. They were orange. It was kind of weird.

But out of nowhere, tears were seen in her eyes and they turned blue. I hated seeing her like this, I didn't even know her and yet it hurt so bad. I sat back down on the bed and held her close. "Hey, hey, it's, okay? Are you scared of being alone?"

She shook her head no and then moved away from me. "You think my eyes are weird, don't you?"

I sucked in a breath.'I did just say they were weird didn't I?'

She looked up at me and started crying again. I then picked her up and spun her around and after a few seconds she stopped crying and started giggling. It sounded so much better.

After some time, I stood her back on the bed and wiped away the liquid from her face. I noticed her eyes were yellow this time.

"Now, all better?"

"Mhm!" she giggled. "Mom and dad are making breakfast, we should go eat." she said looking at the door and smelling the air.

"Okay!" I said turning around. "Hop on!" She jumped on my back and once I knew she was secure, I started out the room, but not before this...

"And for the record, shortie, your eyes are amazing!" I said with stars in my eyes looking into hers. But when I turned to look at her, she was pouting.

"What?" I asked her. "My name is not 'shortie'. It's Sachi" She said with a 'huff' in the end. I chuckled at her expression.

"Well, 'Sachi', do you know guys have stairs in this...rocky house?" I asked her to look at the rock walls again. "It's a cave, Dobe."

I pouted at her saying this and saw that her eyes were black this time. I chose to ignore it and I airplane zoomed through the house (well cave) with her showing me the way of course. This cave is humongous. An owl could get lost in here. How did this little 6 year old know where she was going?

We soon arrived in the kitchen, the woman that took care of me was standing behind a stove cooking. It smelled delicious.

"Hello, mommy!" Sachi said from my back. The woman turned her way and her faced soured. "Sachi, get off of his back. He's still injured!" her mother scolded her.

"No, she's fine." I said walking over to the table.

"No, you just started to heal. You don't want to risk opening your bruises again." she said with a spatula in her hand.

"Nah, he's a trouper. Right, big guy?" Someone's deep voice from behind said, ruffling my hair.

I had no idea who it was until Sachi yelled. "Daddy!" 

I looked up at a man with a black spiky ponytail and brown eyes that were halfway open. He also had pink swirls on his tanned cheeks that matched Sachi's.
