Searing Love

Chapter V

Okay, Searing Love is updated. But, before we get into the good part, I have a few things I'd like to take care of. I've been writing since 2014, and have noticed something. There are a lot of people here who are very annoying. Correcting my grammar, correcting spelling, or correcting my Naruto logical by stating something something as trivial as saying that Sakura's mother's hair is not pink.

While I do value your opinion, I'd prefer for you to keep your trap shut. Okay? You have no idea how much it annoys me when I see an email that is telling me something that I already know. If I see five more emails, I am pulling the plug on the production of ALL Naruto fanfics. I don't want to, and you don't want me to do it. So, let's not let it get to that point. Got it?

Now, on a lighter note, I have an account on Fanfic Amino, you should follow 😄. I'll be posting inside details about my fanfics, and will be on most of the time, depending on that week's agenda. On to the good stuff, leave comments, not smartass comment or you know what will happen. Enjoy!

Tsunade took a sip of her sake and sighed. "Be careful not go over board, Lady Tsunade, you don't want to get drunk," Shizune reminded her teacher. Tsunade muttered something that Shizune couldn't quite understand.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door. "Come in," Tsunade called and the door opened. Kur walked in, still in his traveling clock, and nodded his greetings. "Lady Hokage, you wished to see me?" he said in a monotoned voice. "Yes, make yourself at home. You must be tried from your journey," Tsunade said.

Kur shook his head, no. "My apologies, Lady Tsunade, but I do not plan on staying long. Your messenger bird interrupted me in the middle of something," he said. "Sorry about that, I just wanted to meet you," Tsunade replied.

"You wish to speak about Naruto Uzumaki, I assume," Kur guessed. "I'm guessing Gaara told you?" Tsunade sighed. "Yes, he did. My lady, I really do hope that you don't plan on asking me to retell about Naruto's final days on this planet. It is very painful to speak of," Kur said calmly.

Tsunade glared at the man. "Listen here, Kur, I have every right to hear about Naruto's final days," she hissed. Kur laughed, "You truly are amusing, Lady Hokage, Naruto always said that you were amusing when drunk," he said. Tsunade slammed her hand on her desk and split it into two.

"You have no right to speak about Naruto as if you were so familiar with him!" Tsunade shouted. "You're a fool, Tsunade. Truly a fool. Out of everyone in the world, I have the most right to speak of Naruto so familiar," Kur said. "Why you," Tsunade growled.

"Please, you two, no need t-" Shizune started, but was cut off by a massive amount of KI. "Silence," Kur commanded. Tsunade leaped across the room and get ready to punch him.

Kur raised his hand and grabbed Tsunade's fist at a lightening fast motion. "Attacking a ninja of the Sand could be considered a declaration of war," he said in a matter of fact type of voice. Tsunade's eyes widened at the sight of the Sand shinobi's hand; it was made out of wood.

Kur seemed to notice her awestruck expression as his hand fell to his side. "I was captured by an enemy group of ninjas. I was chained, and tortured for days on end. My left arm ended up being chopped off, just for the pure enjoyment of my captors. It wasn't till Gaara found me and took me away from that place, did I become free," he explained.

Tsunade and Shizune were shocked into silence. Kur shook his head and took off his travelers' cloaks. He was wearing a red flack jacket and gray shinobi pants. Hanging off each arms, were three black bracelets. A set of three on rack arm. Placed on Kur's face was a blank ANBU mask. His head was covered up by a skin tight hood.
