The Crystal Serpent [Naruto X Oc] |Book 1

Chapter 77: Naruto's foolish mistake

It had been a few hours since she left Jairya with Naruto and Tsunade as she walked around the town to find a place to clear her mind of the thoughts running through her head.

She soon came across a clearing near a stream and sat down against a tree with a deep breath, taking in the scenery around her.

'Oh Mom, what should I do? Even if Naruto doesn't hate me for my father. He won't be happy knowing I don't hate Father. I don't know what to do to handle this.' Kei thought, gazing up at the sky as her fingers brushed against her necklace.

She roughly pulled out of her thoughts as she felt a familiar charka from nearby and heard a familiar voice.

"Hey kid, there you are," Jairiya said, walking into the clearing where Kei was relaxing.

Kei just simply barely glanced at Jairya. "What do you want old sage interrupting my peace?" Kei asked in annoyance.

"Hey, I know you have stuff on your mind, but no need to be annoyed," Jairya said, holding up his hands."I just came to give you the key to your room at the inn we're staying at," He said, walking over towards Kei and handing her the room key.

"So I have my room this time?" Kei said, taking the key from Jairya.

"Yeah, I figured you would want time alone after everything that happened meeting Tsunade," Jairya said.

Kei nodded."Yeah, I could do with some space from Naruto, at least for now," Kei stated."So what happened between him and Tsunade?" She asked, gazing at her room key.

"He alive Tsunade didn't destroy him, but she did make a bet for him the Rasengan in a week, and she will give him the first Hokage necklace," Jairiya replied.

Kei nodded her head as she glanced down at her neck at the precious necklace.

"Well, I leave you to be just don't stay out too late and the inn shouldn't be hard to find the address on the key," Jairiya said, walking off and allowing Kei to be alone with her thoughts.

'Father, why do you hate the village so much? What happened with that guy I saw to make you change and hate the village?' She thought as her fingers brushed against her necklace, wondering what it all meant. The relationship between her father and Danzo was all she understood, and he was hurting from losing his parents and even more people.

Kei let out a deep sigh as she stood up and decided to head towards the inn to call it a night.

Kei was in her room, across from Naruto and Jairiya's room. She was lying down on the bed, staring at the ceiling deep in thought

'Father, why couldn't we be happily together as a family? Is there anything I can do to change the way you feel?' She thought, closing her eyes.

Kei eventually dozed on off to sleep with the only thing on her mind being her father and wondering what she should do after everything Itachi had shown her and wondering how he had access to those memories.

The following morning...

Kei woke up before the sun with a groan, still feeling mentally exhausted from everything that happened, and to go for a stroll.

"I just don't know what to do," She muttered, walking through the town once she was dressed out of her pajamas.

As she was walking, she suddenly came across Naruto, who passed out on the ground covered in sweat.

"Naruto, have you been here all night?" She asked, walking over towards him."It's not wise to train all night until you collapse. That's how you get wiped out by the enemy," She stated.

"Shut up, you traitor. Just get lost!" Naruto snapped, sitting up and glaring at Kei.

"What?" Kei questioned hearing Naruto's words."I see, so that's how you feel about me," She muttered, turning around and beginning to walk away from Naruto.

"Kei wait I di-"Naruto attempted to say however before he could complete his words, Kei was already out of sight and he muttered under his breath at the mistake he made with the very girl of his romantic dreams.

"You have done it, kid," Jairya said, walking towards Naruto, who was sitting on the ground."Act like this. You just lose the girl for good," he said.

"Pervy Sage, I didn't mean it," Naruto said, shaking his head."I was just frustrated at -"

"Don't call me that," Jairiya commanded."Your frustration that she has been mastering all her training with me because you believe she is only able to due to her father. No, she mastered it because she is intelligent and doesn't let frustration cloud her training. As well as the fact she chose not to share the fact she knew who killed the third Hokage, well, you prove her right to be afraid to tell you."

"I really messed with Kei," Naruto muttered in frustration.

"Yeah kid if you wish to not lose her suggest you apologize but do something to show her you mean it," Jairiya said walking away, leaving Naruto to his training.
