uzumaki shira | naruto

Act 28

The nightmares were getting worst even though she already confronted the ones behind this.

They said that the genjutsu is already gone and her mind is the one causing this.

It was horrible.

Her encounter with the Sound Four left the latter disoriented. Shira is the daughter of the Yellow Flash, she's as fearful as her father.

She would leave tonight, she decided and spend the day with her team. After all, it's her last day in Konoha.

"I need to talk to Hokage-sama." She muttered to herself as she stood from her bed at five in the morning. She took a quick shower and wore a jacket she bought a few weeks ago, a black shirt with the Uzumaki crest and a pair of black shorts. Shira fiddled with the Uzumaki charm on her necklace before holding it tight.

She flashed away to the Hokage's office.

oooOooo

"A hunting competition?"

Kakashi nodded. "What's that?" Naruto asked as he jumped and down on his place with a grin while Shira tried to calm down her brother. "I was just informed this morning. According to the Hokage, the ANBUs hid fake gems all over the village.

The participants in the hunting game are to gather at the Hokage building at two in the afternoon. It's a free for all competition. The winner gets to do whatever he wants in the village. Like, buy clothes without actually paying, buy weapons, eat all you can food in every stall, you get the gist, right?"

Sakura's eyes sparkled at the thought of buying clothes without spending actual money! Sasuke was thinking of restocking his weapon pouch just earlier and this is the perfect opportunity to do it. Naruto... you can guess what Naruto's thinking already, ne?

The silver-haired jounin smirked and his students noticed it. "However, the winner of the last competition will be allowed to disrupt every fight. Participants aren't allowed to attack her. If they do, they're marked and transported to the Hokage Tower and are then disqualified."

Sakura sweatdropped. "By marked, you mean..." And three pairs of eyes landed on Shira who gave them a small smile and a wave. "I'm looking forward to your disqualification." She said that with a happy smile, which made it the more sinister.

If there's anything they know about their friend and sibling, it's that she's incredibly fast and cunning. Yes, definitely cunning. And fast. Did they say fast and cunning? No, well, Shira's incredibly fast and cunning.

"Come on, I'm taking you guys with me." Cerulean blue eyes sparkled in delight. "Yes! We're going to use Nee-san's super duper awesome jutsu!" Sasuke paled at the thought. "I rather go there myself, Shira." Sakura remembered Sasuke's unfortunate experience with Shira's jutsu and shakily smiled. "Haha, me too, Shira-kun!"

Shira curved a confused eyebrow but shrugged her shoulders anyway. "If that's what you guys want. We're thirty minutes late already so I suggest you get moving now." She took a hold of Naruto and flashed away. It took the two a couple of seconds to register what she just said.

"What?!" Sakura snapped and looked for Kakashi but he already left. The pinkette growled. That bastard! She angrily thought. Without another second to waste, the two departed off.

"... collect as many gems as you can! The winner will be allowed to do whatever he wants in the village as long as it's within reason and definitely not illegal! Konoha's Hunting Event, BEGINS!"
