Naruto~Trip Back In Past

Chapter Eighteen

Narumi looked at the sun that was peeking over the horizon from the large window in his room. She decided to henge her clothes from Jiraiya into the clothes she wore while in Sage mode she switched out the summoning contract with another large scroll filled with anything and everything she would need for her mission. She quickly left one of her permanent Kage Bunshin's in her place asleep on herbed while she slipped out of the window and leapt tree to tree in the backyard of the Senju estate. She had done some exploring when replacing the Hiraishin seals around the village and found a way to leave the village that bypassed the ninja's on guard duty at the front gate. She silently slipped out of the village and then took off in the direction of where the others were gathering.

It didn't take long even with running on water to reach her destination. Nami no Kuni [The Land of Waves]. Narumi laughed aloud when he stopped in front of the 'The Great Narumi Uzumaki Bridge' and he leaned against the railing, as this was the rally point to meet the others.

"You weren't kidding when you told me you had a bridge named after you." Gaara commented as he dropped down from a stream of sand, the Bunshin of Naruto disappearing as the One-Tails Jinchūriki stood next to the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. Narumi noticed that Gaara too had henged his clothes to the ones he wore during the war.

"Why would I lie about something like this?" Narumi smirked.

"I can't believe you are seriously assembling all the Jinchūriki's in one place, this is asking for an attack to happen." Gaara commented as he eyed the small island that Narumi chose as a rally point.

"If they followed my Bunshin's instructions then no one would even notice we are gone. Also if the Biju's and my Bunshin's followed my plan the others should have their memories back and this shouldn't be too awkward of a meeting." Narumi laughed before she was grabbed in a hug from behind, knowing the charka signature she didn't even bother to react.

"NARUMI!" Killer B laughed joyfully as he hugged the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki happily.

"Hey B, how ya been doing?" Narumi laughed as she let the taller man hug her before Naruto was dropped to the ground and Gaara was also pulled into a hug even through the redhead protested something fierce.

"Since Gyuki and your Bunshin gave me my memories and powers back, I've been great!" B said, his voice dropping as the three stood on the bridge waiting for the others.

"That's good, I'm glad you guys are back." Narumi smiled at the two Jinchūriki's who smiled back fondly.

"Us too Narumi." Gaara smiled and rolled his teal eyes at something Shukaku must have said.

"HEY YOU GUYS!" A female voice called out from above the group, the three looked up and smiled as a girl with short, spiky mint green hair with a Taki Hitai-ate on her right arm and two wings on her back as she flew down to greet them, a puff of smoke by her back showing that the Narumi Bunshin had disappeared.

"Fu!" Narumi smiled and yelped a bit when the girl let her wings disappear and she fell into the blonde's arms, hugging her.

"Narumi, Gaara and B! I'm so glad you gave me my memories and powers back, I swear I'll do my best to protect Chomei this time around!" Fu smiled brightly and determination glinted in her orange eyes.

"I'm glad you think so too Fu." Narumi smiled and patted the girl's head as she jumped up and landed on Killer B's broad shoulder and settled there, his hand coming to rest on her small waist to make sure she didn't fall off.

"I see I was not misled, you all truly are here." Utakata commented as the Bunshin puffed away as he joined the others on the bridge, his long brown hair still covering his left side of his face leaving his single gold eye visible.
