Aiko (Naruto/Boruto Fanfic)

Chapter 8 Shiori

Chīsai demanded to go out so I tooka stroll around the village with her. She becomes more quite when we leave our home, so there's not many people who knows that I have a talking wolf cub, it was only three people who knew and it was Yumi, Talia and Harumiko.

As I walked past the training grounds, I could the hear the new chūnin ninjas yelling at me, screaming foul names as usual. Chīsai started to bark at them but I picked her up while I was walking and gently covered her snout so she stopped barking.

I also did a big mistake to walk past the orphanage.

"Well looks who's back!" Said a boy from the orphanage as two more guys surrounded me and Chīsai.

"You left us for the second time, you should that you're not welcomed here!" I held the wolf cub closer as she started to bark again. I hushed at Chīsai but she wouldn't stop.

"Oh look! Shiori actually got a friend. It would be sad if something would happen to the little dog!" One of the guys tried to take the cub away from me but I kicked them on the chest so he couched as he backed away.

"Oh. You think You can take us all? Why don't we try and see what happens?" All three of the boys tried to launch at me at the same time but I jumped so they crashed in to each other instead. I hid Chīsai under my poncho so she tucked close to my shirt.

"Fire style: flame whirlwind!"as I got covered by a spiraling flame and shot the fire straight down on the boys. I fled as they were trying to recover by the fire, but it didn't take too long until I stumbled upon a even bigger guy who was after me too.

The bigger guy grabbed the collar of my shirt/poncho and lifted me up so my feet didn't touch the ground.

"You shouldn't have come back.." he said with a deep voice that made Chīsai tremble underneath my poncho.

He was about to punch me and I closed my eyes, but he stopped just an inch from my face.

I opened my eyes as he retreated his fist. Both Talia and Etsuko stood behind the guy, the had probably stopped him from beating me up.

"We all agreed. No more grudges on her" said Etsuko and he dropped me so I hit the ground.

"You know we can't forgive her!" The three other guys that got burned walked up to us.

"Once a traitor, always a traitor!"

"Stop being so childish! She might have left us but she hasn't really hurt any of us, right?" Said Talia with annoyance in her voice.

"We were burn-"

"It was self defense" I interrupted and got a hard punch from the biggest guy.

"You and your wimpy excuses.." he was close to kick my head while I was on the ground but Talia drag the big guy away from me.

"It's enough.." Etsuko helped stand up while the guys who hunted me, walked away.

"It surprises me you have the guts to walk by here" said Talia and watched as the bullies disappeared from sight when they turned to a corner.

"Chīsai seemed to want to walk this path this time"I let go of the wolf cub and let her walk freely. The cub barked happily as she saw I was pretty okey.

"Let me heal you" Etsuko laid her hand on my cheek and used some kind of healing technique. I didn't really recognize the jutsu, as it wasn't the classical "healing palm technique" or any sort of it.

"It looks fine now!" She said happily and gave me a hug.

"You should be careful next time" warned Talia and I nodded.
