Chapter 21: The Battle Begins!

Chapter 21: The Battle Begins!

Yawn...

"Ugh, did I miss lunch?" I asked myself, getting up.

I guess I slept not even knowing that I'm on the floor and I think I've probably slept for more two days or so.

"I better go and see the others..." I mumbled, still sleepy.

I walked to the next room and there I saw Tazuna, the team and a small kid probably his the one I saw the other day when we first arrived here in Tazuna's home. Couldn't walk any further, Naruto begins shouting at the boy and that boy does the same way. Naruto turns his back and leaves the table, heading outside, while the small kid sat down.

I walked a few steps and began scratching my eyes.

"Oh, Minori, you're finally awake!" Sakura approaches me.

"Good evening... Ugh, how long why I asleep?" I asked, yawning.

"About a day and or so," Sasuke answered.

"So, who's the kid?" I pointed at the kid who just argued with Naruto, not too long ago.

"My name is Inari, I'm the grandson of Tazuna," he answered.

"Hello and I'm gonna go see if Naruto's ok," I walked away, heading to where Naruto is.

"Good evening!" I greeted.

"Eh? Minori, you're awake!" he looked at me while I sat down beside him.

"What happened a while ago?" I asked.

"Oh, you saw that?" Naruto scratches the back of his head.

"Yeah, so what happened? Is it something about training and Zabuza?" I asked, again.

"Well, yes, Inari doesn't believe that we can take on him and he doesn't believe in heroes..."

"Eh, the kid doesn't believe in heroes? Hah, I guess he lost someone precious to him who's once a hero!"

"Actually that's it! Sakura-chan told me about him not too long ago,"

"Well, never mind that! The kid will know there is actually ONE who's a hero!" I looked up.

"Really who?" Naruto asks, happily, thinking he's probably the hero.

"Haha, I'm not gonna tell!" I laughed.

"Oh, come on, it's not Sasuke, is it?" he crosses his arm.

"Not really, Sasuke is just skilled. He has a reason why he fights and tries to get strong,"

"So, you know that Sasuke has a goal. What kind of goal?" he asked.

"Revenge..."

"Revenge?"

"It just feels like it but, you, you're different," I smiled.

"How can you say that?" he asked.

"Because you're a jinchuriki," I answered.

"A jinchu-what?" he asked, quite confused.

"Wait, you don't know that you have the-----"

"The Nine Tails sealed inside me? Of course, I know but what's a jinchuriki?"

"Umm, a jinchuriki is like a vessel or like an empty container. For example, you're like a bottle and the Nine Tails is the water which means that jinchurikis are those who can only carry or handle the Tailed Beast sealed inside them like a jar if you know what I mean!" I explained.

"Oh, ok then! Oh, by the way!"

"What?"

"How come you know my mom? What does she look like? Is she alive? Did you met her once?" he began asking me multiple questions about his mother.

"Don't worry, you'll meet her, someday!" I smiled.

"Oh, come on please!" he pleaded.

"Sorry, but it's for your own good!" I got up and walked back inside the house.

"Hey, wait, MINORI!!!!" Naruto shouted while I giggled and walked back in the room where I was sleeping in.

"I wonder if I'll see Haku tomorrow..."

The next day, morning...

The team and I just packed up and now, we're heading to the unfinished bridge now. Naruto and Sasuke has trained and has finally mastered their chakra control but Naruto was left behind.

"This time, we're gonna get him!" my fist pumps.

"It's too bad, Naruto couldn't come!"

"It's best if he doesn't come anyway! Besides, he'll just get in the way!" Sasuke said, kind of relieved of Naruto not being able to come with us to escort Tazuna to the site where the bridge will be built.

Minutes later...

We have arrived at the site and it seems like the mist is getting rough. Once we took a few steps forward, two figures appear up ahead and walked towards us.

"Zabuza..." Kakashi-sensei mumbled.

"I see you're ready for Round 2," Zabuza strikes Kakashi-sensei a glare.

"..."

"That masked nin...could it be...her...?" I mumbled.

"I guess we meet again, Mio..." the masked nin said.

"Minori, you know that guy?!" Sakura asked, confused.

"Maybe... Or maybe not," I answered.

"Come on, the REAL fun is just about to begin!" Zabuza chuckled, a bit.
