The Beast Inside (A Naruto Fanfiction) #Wattys2016

A visit

I wake up and started looking around, trying to remember what I was going to do today.

Oh yeah!

I hurriedly get dressed and wrote a note for the always sleeping, Kakashi.

"Dear Kakashi,

I won't be back for awhile, I'll be out and about doing things. I won't be back for lunch. I'll see you later.

-Semasu"

Now where do I put it, I need to make sure he sees it. On the door, on the fridge, in his bowl, in his book? I think as I try to find ways to make sure he sees it.

Oh ok, perfect!

I walk into Kakashi's room and place the note under his mask. I didn't see anything really, the only thing that I saw was the top of his nose.

I walk outside and start walking down the streets.

The sand was extra hot today. It was burning the soles of my shoes as I walk.

I walk down the streets of Suna, looking at the small shops and stands. I received a lot of looks from the villagers as I walked past them.

They don't even know who or what I am and they already giving me dirty looks.

I somehow find myself at my old training ground, with three tree stumps in the middle. I walk over to the middle one and sit on it, thinking deeply.

Does Sashu and Kinoma notice who I am? Does Baki? Does Gaara and Temari? Will I get caught?

Somehow someone came in and I didn't notice.

"Hi." A ruff voice said and I look up and see Baki.

"Hello." I said as I looked back down.

"Why are you here?" Baki asks be slowly.

"Just thinking." I said, not wanting to tell him too much information.

"Do you want to get rid of your thought with a little sparing match?" He asks.

"No thank you." I said still keeping my head down.

Suddenly a kunai is flung at me.

Move! Isobu and Matatabi shout together.

I jump off of the stump just as the kunai lands where I was sitting. I do a couple of back hand springs. I stop and glare at him.

"The rumors are true, you are fast. But you aren't showing me the speed you did in the arena, why is that?" He asked as he smirked.

"There is no need for that speed against someone slow in comparison to me." I said lowly and darkly.

"That was nothing." Baki said smirking.

I activate my Shiakumangan at medium speed and I run towards Baki.

I take out a kunai and stab him in the shoulder. He looked at me shocked as I deactivated it.

"That was nothing." I said mockingly.

He looks irritated. Then he smirks.

Baki emits chakra from his fingertips and materialises it into an near invisible speak of wind style chakra.

"Try avoiding this. Wind Style: Blade of Wind Jutsu." Baki said deeply as he threw the speak at me.

My Shiakumangan activates and stops the spear. I simply move a couple steps to my right and I continue time. Baki's visible eye widens.
