Chapter 88- Battle on Water!

'Normal thought...'

"Kyuubi/ Bijuu speech..."

'Kurama communicating with Naruko inside her head...'

'Kurama's thoughts, Naruko can't hear...'

"Normal speech..."

Jutsu name...

-----------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke narrowed his eyes as they ran after Idate. "I'm sure he has planned something. Otherwise, this wouldn't make any sense."

Sakura looked at him in surprise. "You really think so, Sasuke-kun? But he has to cross over the sea at some point in time."

Naruko bit on her lip thoughtfully before she narrowed her eyes. 'I don't have a good feeling... The enemy nin are probably already following us... Right Kurama?'

'How should I know?' The Bijuu shrugged nonchalant, not being able to really sense anyone when trapped in Naruko's body, well... except for the rare occasion when she uses his chakra or when he's not shackled to a human. But that's out of question at the moment. He has no will to take over her body and free himself, knowing he would only be trapped in another Jinchuuriki in a matter of time. So, why don't stick to a Jinchuuriki he is kinda okay with.

'You're not really helping, furball...' Naruko pouted at him before she looked back to her teammates seriously. "Let's just concentrate on catching up to Idate-kun." She told them before quickening her pace.

Sasuke and Sakura nodded at that and then tried to follow after Naruko, whose speed was at a really quick level right now.

"Yay~ We've finally caught up to you~" Naruko smiled cheerily as she was now running on the ground right next to Idate.

Idate just tsked and looked straight ahead while concentrating on running.

Naruko rolled her eyes at that. "So, why don't you finally let us in on your plan?"

"No, that's none of your business!" Idate snapped at her in annoyance.

Naru pouted at that. "Geez... Why are you being so cold again, Idate-kun?! We are only trying to help you here, ya know!" She huffed at him as they continued to race forward.

"Shut up! I don't need your help!" Idate sneered at her.

"Watch out!" Sakura shouted towards them, from the tree tops, but neither Idate nor Naruko heard her.

Sasuke tsked at that. "Those two aren't aware of it, are they?"

"'Of the Genjutsu?" Sakura asked and then sweat dropped... Oh, yeah... they are speaking about Naruko here, whose weak point is having no awareness of Genjutsu.

Down below them, Naruko of course didn't notice the illusion at all. "Oi, stop being rude, Idate! I swear I will beat you up if you continue with that attitude!" She snapped at him.

Idate just ignored her before he slowed down all of the sudden. "I've already been here?"

'Huh?' Naruko slowed down as well in confusion.
