The Ninja of the Night

Settling In

It was yesterday when Naruto, Sai, and Sakura had arrived in the Hidden Leaf Village. It was a surprisingly large town. Nothing compared to the little village where they had found Sasuke at. Once they had settled in, Sasuke informed them how to live and make it through this time era as they were getting ready for bed.The trio even had clothes that were fit for them in the era.

It was morning now, and the three were trying find out what their goals were as they got settled into the day. Naruto, Sakura, and Sai stood in the dining room as Sasuke was in the kitchen cooking.

Sakura wore a red zipped up sleeves shirt. Underneath, she knew the shorts fit like bike shorts and over the shorts was a pink-gray apron. On her elbows was matching elbow protectors and she wore knee-high gray shoes. Accompanying those were some black gloves. She sighed as she looked into the mirror at her clothes.

"I hope you guys like your clothes. They were surprisingly inexpensive. ." Sasuke shouted from within the kitchen. The three were looking at each other's new clothes. Naruto chuckled as a response. "I guess that means Naruto likes his. And you Sai and Sakura?"

"I think it is fine, thanks Sasuke," Sakura answered in a happy tone. It didn't have the same appeal as her modern outfits, but she had to admit, it gave her some figure to show. Plus, it was also very easy to move around in. It didn't feel uncomfortable or weird like she had imagined. So she felt relieved, much to her shock.

"I appreciate the gesture, but I hope you don't mind me adding some extra details or rather, removing, Sasuke," Sai spoke while cutting off the bottom of his long sleeved shirt. His pants were down to his ankle, and his sandals were the same as Sasuke's, but gray like Sakura's.

Sakura sweatdropped at the sight of Sai cutting his top, but accepted it. Of course he would do that. Sasuke facepalmed as he heard the scissor cut the clothing.

Naruto laughed once more at the sight. The blonde wore a black and orange zipped-up jacket. On the back was a red circle and on one of the shoulders was a white circle with wooden sticks on it and a white cord. His bottoms were orange pants that ended above the ankle. He wore black sandals and a pair of black goggles on his forehead. "Thanks, Sasuke!" he cheered. His grin only seemed to grow more.

The black haired boy nodded. "Glad you like it, so much, usuratonkachi," he replied. "I was thinking about having you wear a darker color, but I figured you might complain and want more colors, so I just grabbed something that was closest to what you were already wearing.."

The blonde nodded, still holding onto his grin. His eyes never looking away from his reflection in the mirror. The teen absolutely loved the color orange, and it made him feel comfortable and happy.

Sasuke was cooking in the kitchen, figuring he may as well cook for them since they were getting dressed. It was the three days ago that he had met them and it felt like he had already knew them for years. Especially Naruto. Something about him was something that he couldn't shake off. He had already contemplated last night before he fell asleep, but he drew no conclusions. There was no way they knew each other, right?

"So, what are we supposed to do? Other than looking for a way to return home, though," Sakura asked in a small tone. She sat down on a chair near the dining table and crossed her legs. "I can tell that you are up to something, Naruto."

The blonde nodded and switched to a serious look. "I think we should help Sasuke.. I don't everyone to think of him as a criminal or to have him die early.. It is obvious he was framed for a murder," he whispered. "I don't know how to explain it, but I think Sasuke and the reason why we are here are connected, y'know?"

"I can't shake off the feeling that he is innocent, too. So we should come up with a solution to keep him from being framed, right?" Sakura suggested. Sai nodded in agreement. "Do you got any ideas?"
