Naruto's twin sister

(20) Siblings' Quarrel

Nikashi's POV

A few heavy pants escaped our lips once we reached the next nearest small town. I didn't have time to admire the town's view as I was busy roaming my eyes, searching for my brother.

"They said Naruto is with Jiraiya, right?" I said to myself out loud.

Sasuke briefly looked at me before continuing searching for my blond brother. "Yes." He answered absentmindedly.

"Based on what I know about him, he's a famed pervert. So clearly, if he's in a new place, you best be sure what he will come looking for first." I said with certainty. I made it look that I arrived to the conclusion myself but really I just saw what happened in the anime.

Sasuke looked at me intently as if realizing what I meant. "Women."

I nodded in reply. "Yes. So if he's out there looking for women, let's assume he'll go somewhere where underaged can't go."

"Which means he left Naruto somewhere." He concluded before grabbing my hand in urgency. "Come on."

We ran across town with urgency. We decided to ask around for Naruto's whereabouts, so we split up to widen our coverage.

I ran to the other direction while Sasuke took the other. I approached an old lady. "Good morning, Obaa-san."

"Oh, good morning, young lady. What can I do for you?" She asked with a smile.

"Have you seen a boy my age? With blond hair and a whisker-like birth mark on his cheeks?" I asked a bit urgently with a smile.

The old lady thought for a moment before she shook her head. "I'm sorry, my dear. I haven't seen anyone with that description. Does he have any specific description? Like a tattoo design?"

I looked up in the sky, trying to think of any other specific description on my brother. Tattoos? He doesn't have those. Well he did have a huge seal on his stomach-----

Seal.

I repeatedly facepalmed in irritation.

Upon realizing that I am still in front of the old lady, I stopped and looked at her. She has this slightly scared and weirded out expression on her face as she slowly backed away from me.

I chuckled sheepishly. "Gomenasai." I hurriedly ran away from her, activating the seal I put on Sasuke earlier.

The first thing I saw when I blinked was Sasuke's urgent yet angered expression.

Ignoring it for a moment, I placed my hand on his shoulder in a haste. "Sasuke."

Judging from sudden tight grip of his hands on my arm, he was about to fling me off the other direction but stopped when he heard my voice. He inaudibly sighed. "It's just you. Did you find anything?"

"No but I just remembered that I placed a seal on him." Ignoring his growing irritation at my poor memory, I looked at him seriously. "There's a possibility that we may face Itachi. Be prepared to fight."

His irritation at me diminishes as he looked at the three pronged kunai on my other hand. Suddenly growing serious, he nodded before his chakra spiked. "I'm ready."

I stared at Sasuke intently contemplating whether what I'm about to say next will anger him or not. "Sasuke. If we ever get the chance to fight Itachi, always remember that you have me to rely on. You don't have to do this alone."

He grew irritated as he gritted his teeth. "Are we just gonna stand here and wait for Itachi to harm Naruto?"

Is that really your goal here? To protect Naruto? Or just to fulfill your agenda?
