I'm With You (Naruto Love Story)

You bit the inside of you cheek, you were not expecting this. You stood there confused, disappointed and a bit frustrated. This must be what it feels like to be bitten in the ass, theoretically speaking.

The tension in the room was also unbearable, many were unsure how to proceed with the news while others preferred staying quiet. The office was filled with shinobi ranked from Chūnin to Jōnin with the exception of the Hisakage; whose patience was running rather thin.

“How Many times must I repeat myself?” Watanabe-sensei asked impatiently.

“My apologies Hisakage-sama, but I do not understand the reason for this transfer. Why not someone more capable?”

“It is simple Kasumi-san, The Leaf Village has a group that is reforming after two years and is missing a member, the Hokage personally requested you since you are familiar with them both and the rest of the shinobi of the Leaf Village. I do not see what is so hard to understand.”

“How long will I be away?”

“Until your purpose has been fulfilled or they find someone else to be a permanent replacement.”

Giving up in this futile battle with the Hisakage, you nodded and let your gaze fall on the floor.

“Come now Kasumi-san, this is an honor for our village. This is a chance to strengthen our alliance with the Leaf village.” Hisakage reasoned getting up from his seat and walking to you roughly patting your head.

“You will leave tonight, Understood?”

“Yes sir.” You said bowing.

“Good, now hurry off and gather your belongings, once you arrive at the Leaf village you will be greeted by one of their Shinobi and escorted to the Hokage. Dismissed.”

Everyone including you disappeared from the room in a mere poof. You ended up outside your house; you ran inside to gather what you needed for this journey and headed for the front of the village entrance.

 The Village hidden in the Caves; your home for as long as you can remember. Legend says that its tunnels were carved by the Sacred Earth users who learned from the moles. That’s why moles were the most sacred creatures in the Cave Village. It was not caveman style though; the cave was not one big hole anymore. Now instead of soil, grass resides under your feet and the sun now reaches the village with its warm rays of sunshine. The caves roof was like on big mouth; in the middle it had a large gap letting the sun through. All the after marks of the last great Ninja war.

“I heard that you’re going to be gone for a long time, take care of yourself Tanaka-kun.” Said one of your friends who were guarding the entrance; Akira Nonada. Compared to you she was very gentle, hence her calling you by your last name and with those horrific.

“You hear right Akira-chan; I’ll be son for a long time.” You said lazily, singing out the ‘L’ in ‘Long’

“Take care of yourself.”

“I know I know, I have to get going, I have at least five hours before I get there.”

With one last Bye, you departed, Akira was the only friend you had, her personality made it easy to get along with. Also since she was the only person willing to be your friend, others didn’t bother.

This would be interesting indeed, for you never thought of living in the Leaf Village. In its entire major event’s you were there, you met the gang during the Chūnin exams also with your now deceased squad.

The five hours came and went when you arrived at the Leaf Village gates, standing Proud. A small smile found its way on your lips, you still weren’t happy about being forced to live here, but it was good to be there after two years of not visiting. Everyone; including you, grew so much you probably won’t recognize them. Approaching the gate the two guard’s men requested to see identification, you let them now you were here by the request of the Hokage and that a fellow Leaf Shinobi was supposed to meet you here.
