The Guardian Angel (Naruto Fan fiction)

6.

Alexandra's/Manami's POV

I've been walking towards my destination for days now. I should get there around midday tomorrow. 'Jeez, I'm so bored. I wonder if I throw a rock, will Dwayne Johnson appear like a Pokemon? I mean, anything is possible right about now right? I mean.. I'm here aren't I?'

As I continued my journey, I came across a very small river. I was thirsty so I decided to take a break. Once I made sure I was safe from prying eyes, I took off my clothes and submerged in to the water.

My clothes consist of a black leather crop top that stops at my rib cage and has a hoodie. Underneath it I sport a half sleeved mesh shirt. Along with that, I wear black leather like leggings that end right below my knees. Top it off with black fingerless gloves and traditional ninja shoes and there you have it, my official outfit.

The water was quite refreshing, since it was kind of chilly in contrast to the warm weather.

Once I was done, I got changed and resumed my quest. That break was most definitely helpful for I was faster than earlier. If I'm lucky, I might make it there by midnight.

I was enjoying the beautiful scenery when I heard a rustle up ahead in some bushes nearby.

I ignored it and continued walking, knowing there was someone there. I just got my weapons ready for any attack.

Out came a guy and what I'm guessing are his men. There were about 20 of them. 'Piece of cake' I thought, internally smirking.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here guys. I think we just found ourselves some entertainment." He and his men laughed.

I narrowed my eyes at them and scowled. "Leave me alone. Or else." I warn them as I glared.

They laughed even harder and replied with a "Oh yea? What are you gonna do shrimp? Throw your little ninja toys at me?" and proceeded to laugh.

"Don't say I didn't warn you" I reply rather darkly. With that I threw 5 kunai at them which, if I may be cocky for a second, didn't miss a single target. They were stuck to the ground by their feet.

The men all stared at me in shock. Then they sprung into action. I closed my eyes and listened for their movements. I could hear 3 guys coming from behind me, 2 on each side, 4 in front of me, and 4 coming from above.

I smirked at their idiocy and opened my eyes. I immediately went underground and planned my attacks. Once I was satisfied, I jumped in on the action.

I grabbed two of their men's legs and dragged them down. Stuck. Then I proceeded with the 3 that were behind me by throwing kunai's at them, lodging them on trees.

Next up were the fools who were trying to capture me from above. I jumped up and kicked my legs into a mid air splits and kicked two of them in the face, then I ducked as the other two went in to punch me knocking themselves out cold.

I felt a presence behind me again so I kicked back high without looking as I carried on punching the guy in front of me. I was just about to turn around to fight the rest when I noticed they had all ran away, except for the leader.

Let me tell you, he looked pissed. I smirked at him fully knowing it was going to enrage him further. And guess what? It did.

"HOW CAN A LITTLE BRAT BEAT ALL MY MEN!? WHO ARE YOU!? WHAT ARE YOU!?"

Oh. He was making this too easy. I grinned at him evilly looking down, my bangs covering my eyes and replied to him, my summoning Akuma's voice mixing in with mine causing my voice to sound distorted and demonic.

"I'm your worst fucking nightmare dude. And if you were smart, you'd leave. Now"

I looked at him, finally showing him Tenshi's glowing red eyes that I had changed into just to creep the guy out. And it worked because as soon as he got a glimpse, he hightailed it out of here whimpering like a dog.

Heh, I did good! I mean not flawlessly but good. I did get some scratches, and a couple minor cuts here and there but besides that, I was fine and ready to go to Yume.

Once I was done treating my wounds (one can never be too careful when it comes to injuries y'know?) I headed out to my destination.

I was once again enjoying the scenery and once again I was being followed. 'Can't I just enjoy the scenery in peace!? Jeez!! I just want to get to my destination!! Is that so much to ask for!?'

Anew, I ignored it and kept walking as I put my thumbs in my belt loops and raised my head to look at the sky.

I heard a rustle behind me and stopped walking. I moved my head to look back and to my surprise, there, standing stoically, were Shikaku, Shibi, and Asuma. 'What an odd grouping. But who cares? I am in the presence of some of my many heroes!!'

I looked back at them in awe, pretty sure I must have gone chibi mode. ~\(☆ω☆)/~

"Excuse me misters. But are you ninjas!?" I asked them excitedly.

Shikaku-san and Asuma-san looked amused yet wary, while Shibi-san... Well... I couldn't tell.

"We are. And who might you be kid?" Asuma-san asked. I ignored his question for a couple seconds while I fangirled over them.

"Oh my Kami that is soooo cool!! I'm a ninja too but not as awesome as you guys!! Where are you from? Are you on a mission!? Is it done? Or are you barely getting there? Are you guys hungry? Cause I'm hungry! A little bit thirsty too-"

"Woah, woah, woah!! Slow down kid! I can barely understand a word you're saying! And what are you doing all the way out here on your own?" Asuma-san asked me, most likely trying to settle down the fangirl in front of him.

"Oh I'm sorry mister. I just love ninjas! And I'm on a mission! I'm a ninja too! I'm on my way to Yume to meet some people to finish my mission. Then I gotta travel around the lands to get stronger and- I probably shouldn't tell you all this stuff... Cuz you're strangers and could be out to get me!! Ahhhhh!" I started screaming running in circles around them with my hands in the air. Gotta play the dumb part. Best way to be undermined.

That was the plan anyway, until I ran into something. Or should I say, someone. I looked up to see Shibi-san looking down on me. I just stared back.

He offered me a hand, still silent, and pulled me up. He then pointed at my bandaged injuries and asked me quietly "Where did you get those?"

Sheepishly, I looked down at my bandages and replied quietly, a bit intimidated ngl. Shibi is pretty badass. "I ran into bandits earlier".

He nodded and looked back at his teammates. As if talking telepathically they all nodded in sync and looked at me. To be honest, even tho I know they're the good guys, this unnerved me a bit.

Shikaku-san was the first to speak. "Maybe when you do your travels, you can come to Konoha. It'd be nice to meet again... Uhh"

"Manami"

"Manami, what a beautiful name. Well Manami we have to go, but we hope to see you again sometime in the near future." Shikaku-san said. And like that, they were gone.

I smiled to myself thinking how I couldn't wait for when I had to go to Konoha and resumed my quest to Yume.
