The Legacy of the Most Unpredictable Ninja

33 part 2

"Ah...nothing quite like a relaxing bath to let the stress of the day just...slide off, eh brat?"

Naruto didn't respond, he just kept staring at the water that he was sitting in, like a statue.

"But geez! This place has changed a lot since I've last been here! I mean how long has it been, really? At least a few centuries or so, but how long specifically? I couldn't tell ya. Time just seems to swim on by when you're having fun. But why was I not allowed to come by here last time...? Did it have something to do with that one lover I took and what we did to that shrine...?"

"Ok! Ok! I don't need to hear anymore!" Naruto cried out, covering his ears. Knowing instinctively that the damn old man was about to spill things he really didn't want to hear.

Azazel smirked at him, pleased that he broke his silence. "Thought that I had to go into detail to break ya. You're a pretty innocent kid, aren't you?"

The shinobi didn't even bother to respond to his charge, instead choosing to sink into the water to avoid looking at his smug face.

"Hoh...? So does that mean that you're a virgin?" the dirty old man pressed, that smirk growing ever wider.

The blond wanted to punch it right off his face.

"...Fuck you."

"Hah!" the fallen angel roared out, amused. "Well don't feel too bad brat, I didn't lose my first time until after I was a few hundred years old! So you're good."

An exasperated sigh escaped Naruto's mouth, wanting to be somewhere else besides here.

Currently, after the leader of the fallen angel somehow managed to track him down, the two men were in the middle of a hot spring. Ostensibly to relax and speak privately with one another.

There was a big hullabaloo earlier when the powerful faction leader first showed his face, scaring quite a bit of the yokai in Kyoto, as well as alerting Yasaka and his allies.

So right after his initial arrival, Azazel and Yasaka went to a private room to speak with one another -albeit with great reluctance on her part-, then she essentially kicked him out of their impromptu meeting in order to calm down her people.

Meaning that Naruto had the displeasure of seeing a half-naked Azazel waltz in on his relaxation time, an annoying development since he was thinking deeply on more important stuff.

But seeing as he's got no choice in the matter anymore, he figured he may as well find out why the hell he was here.

"Why the hell are you here?" the shinobi asked bluntly, not bothering to phrase it more politely. He really didn't have the patience for it.

"Well...I thought that you'd never ask!" the older man exclaimed, jubilant. "I'm actually here for..."

As he was speaking, he stood up puffed his chest out, leaving him in nothing but the towel that was wrapped around his waist to cover up his decency. "You of course!"

Naruto blinked slowly, staring up at him with a blank expression.

Only one word even bothered to pop up in his spiky-haired head.

"No."

The fallen leader faltered at the immediate dismissal. "Ah...wait, this is actually legitimately important, so hear me out before-"

"I'm not listening."

"Hey! This isn't a joke! Something big is about to happen and I need-!"

Naruto slowly stood up from the heated water, making sure the towel he had wrapped around his waist was stayed that way, and made to leave the hot springs.
