The Daughter of Kurama (Discontinued)

Chapter 22 - The Tiger Claw Force

Naruto's pov.

I was doing the summoning justsu for... What? The tenth time when I jumped out of my skin by a yell.

"N-NAAANIIII??!"

I jump and slip from my feet resulting me in falling into the river. My hand that was covered in blood hit my head and a tadpole once again is summoned.

I spit out the water that got in my mouth.

"WHAT?! WHO YELLED?! WHAT'S WRONG?" I yell while getting up.

I was mad, I was going to finally be able to summon a toad if someone didn't had to yell. Well if I was able to summon one.. Wait! Don't think like that Naruto! You're going to summon one! Yeah, believe it!

I turn towards the sound of the yelling with my orange jumpsuit tight on my skin drenched in water.

I saw Etsuko-chan with a surprised expression while the white fox she summoned seem to be... Bowing to her?

"HEY ETSUKO-CHAN WHAT'S UP WITH THE YELLING I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE YOU KNOW?!" I yell.

She flinches to my yelling and slowly turns to face me. She had a sad face as if she was sorry. I suddenly felt like my anger just vanished and then I saw that she was about to cry. Now I was the one feeling bad.

I dash towards her as fast as I could before she starts crying. Pervy Sage ignored her yelling and continue watching naked girls. Geese Pervy Sage isn't even training me.

I finally get to Etsuko-chan and hug her. I didn't even think about my drenched cloths.

"I-I'm sorry, so sorry... Please... don't hurt me..." I hear her whimper.

I'm confused as to why she said that. Nobody is going to hurt her. In fact we all love her and want to protect her. So why is she crying?

I then remember what she told me about her past and immediately felt really bad for yelling at her. Should be more gentle around her, she had it worse than me.

When she calms down she peeks over to the white fox.

"F-fusaaki how is it? How is it true? M-my father, for all I've known never ruled a kingdom, much less is the king of it..." She says.

Wait... Father ruling a kingdom? Doesn't that mean that she's a princess or something? No, she'll never lie so why would she keep it from me? No Naruto don't judge, wait until she tells it to you.

Fusaaki was still bowing down and I can feel Etsuko's-chan muscle tense.

"You can rise Fusaaki. I'm not royalty. We're friends, geese why are people always bowing?" She sighs.

Fusaaki gets up and stares at me curiously.

"Is this your 'friend'? Because you guys don't look like it." He says.

I immediately blush and let go of her. I then see her wet from me hugging her and her cloths were slightly constricted on her body.

"No. We're best friends. Anyway can you explain?" Etsuko-chan asks.

"Sure. But we have to go somewhere private. The perv. Is listening in on us as we speak. Even if he doesn't look like it.." He says looking at pervy sage.

I turn towards pervy sage and sweat drop. His mouth had drool in it and he was giving a dirty look.

"Nah, I don't think he's listening on us. Pervy Sage is to into girls right now to even care! Believe it!" I said glaring at pervy sage.
