New Moon (Naruto various x F!reader)

Chapter 20- The forest of chakra

-Huh? Look, sensei's coming around- Naruto said as we entered the room Kakashi was resting in.

-Listen sensei, your sharingan is amazing and everything, but if it puts that much strain on you, maybe it's not worth it- Sakura concluded.

-Sorry- the jounin apologized.

-Well. He did take down one of the most powerful ninja assassin so we'll be safe for a while- Tazuna chimed in.

-Right but- Sakura started- you know that boy with the mask, what about him?

-He's from the elite tracking ninja unit of the village hidden in the mist- Kakashi stated- Those masks are only worn by the most elite shinobi.

-What exactly do they do?- the pink-haired girl asked.

-The anbu black ops also known as the infernal squad- Kakashi started.

-They destroy all traces of a rouge ninja's corpse- I continued- the shinobi's body contains many secrets. Ninjutsu, chakra, special medicines used on his body. These are the secrets of his village. If his enemies find them, his people will be in great danger. It is the sacred duty of the shinobi trackers to prevent this. To keep the village's secrets safe. If a ninja betrays his village the trackers hunt him down. Eliminate him. And obliterate all traces of his existence. That's their specialty.

-You're too clever for your own good, Ruri- the silver-haired man said.

-I never say anything that's out of importance. This time is no different- I said in a calm voice.

-W-What are you getting at, Ruri-chan?- Sakura asked.

I looked at everyone with a stone-cold face.

-Zabuza is alive.

Everyone widened their eyes.

-The tracker ninja's duty is to get rid of the rouge ninja's corpse. That boy. Should've done this on the spot.

-H-hey, I think you're exaggerating a little bit- Tazuna retorted.

-We don't know what happend with his body- I said.

-B-but you checked the pulse! He was dead!- Sakura shouted.

-The senbon needles are a special weapon. With them, you can put a person in a temporary death state.

-R-ruri's right- Kakashi whispered- Now everything makes sense!

The room was thick with tension.

-We've got to prepare for the upcoming battle. Fast- the masked man concluded.

-But sensei. You can barely move- Sakura stated.

Kakashi chuckled.

-I can still train you.

-Hold on!- Sakura retorted- a little less minute training won't make us strong enough to fight Zabuza! You could barely defeat him even with your sharingan! We have to be reasonable about this!

-Sakura- Kakashi said- Why was I able to stop Zabuza? Because... you all helped me. You've grown.

Naruto smiled.

-Things are going to get better now, believe it!- he shouted.

-I don't believe it- a voice sounded from behind us- and nothing's gonna be good.

We turned around to see a little boy with dark hair and eyes, wearing a big dark blue-white hat.

-Who are you?- Naruto questioned.

-Inari, where have you been?- asked a worried Tazuna.

-Welcome back grandpa!- Inari said while hugging the bridge builder.
