Torn Between Two (Naruto Fanfiction) *REWRITING*

Chapter 51

A week had passed since the festival. Obito and Kakashi both refused to look at me or talk to me and I deserved it.

I sat in my room, waiting on Kuroshi to come sneak through my window. It was morning, so he had to be careful who saw him. It's been ten days since we last spoke, so that means today is the day I face Nozomi.

It's either kill or be killed.

I went to my closet to grab a few more weapons.

"How long are you going to take?"

I just about had a heart attack. I jumped and turned around, seeing Kuroshi sitting on my window ledge with his arms crossed. He looked bored so I don't know how long he's been sitting there for.

He looked amused at my reaction.

"Hey, don't sneak up on me like that asshole!" I shouted.

He smirked, causing me to roll my eyes. "It's better than me being right behind you,"

"How long have you been sitting there for?"

"Ten minutes,"

"And you didn't bother to let me know that you were here?" 

"I wanted to see how long it would take you to realize," He chuckled.

I rolled my eyes and he turned serious.

"We better get going," He said. "With Nozomi's power, you're the only one who can take her down,"

I grabbed my ninja tools and leapt out the window with him. I closed it behind me and we started traveling to the Leaf Village's entrance.

"So, are you going to explain why I'm the only one who can take her down?" I asked as we took a back way to avoid being seen by others.

If a random villager saw me, it wouldn't be a big deal. It's just I don't want my friends to question me.

"Yes," Kuroshi said. "Later,"

When we were about to sneak out without a problem, someone stopped us.

"Going somewhere, Hana?"

My heart sped up.

Kuroshi and I turned around, seeing Kakashi and Obito. 

"It doesn't concern you, Kakashi," I dismissed.

Obito spoke up. "Hana, we know what you're about to do and I don't care if I'm mad at you. I can't let you get killed,"

Kakashi nodded in agreement. "And if we have to force you to stay, we will,"

Damnit. Of all times they want to talk to me, it's now? 

Kuroshi let out a sigh. "I knew telling them was a bad idea,"

"I'm going whether you two like it or not," I retorted.

"I guess we won't be going together then, Hana," Kuroshi said. "I was going to help you weaken her, but you go on ahead. I'll make sure these two don't get in the way and catch up to you later. I'll be done soon, so don't do anything rash,"

I nodded as Obito and Kakashi both got in a fighting stance. I quickly sprinted off, knowing the exact location where we could fight at.

"Hana I'm not letting you go!" Obito shouted.

He started running after me and I continued to run as fast I could. I decided I would try and throw him off guard by taking a different route. I was going to plan a stealth attack on Nozomi, but Obito got in the way of that and I wouldn't want him to get hurt by interfering.
