Chapter 89- Rokusho Aoi and Morino Idate: What is their connection?

'Normal thought...'

"Kyuubi/ Bijuu speech..."

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

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

"Normal speech..."

Jutsu name...

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

Naruko, Sakura and Sasuke swam through the water towards the dry land. "Sakura, are you alright?" Naruko asked her in concern, she knew it probably was only a graze, but she still worries about her teammates, especially because they don't heal as fast as she does.

"Yeah. This is nothing." Sakura dismissed her teammates worry quickly. "But more importantly..."

"Those Ame-nin..." Sasuke looked back to them seriously.

Naruko bit on her lip at that. "They still are around here somewhere, huh? ...That's not good. And I'm also worried about Idate-nii, what if he runs into another enemy nin? I'm sure those Ame-nin we met in the Chunin exam aren't the only ninja the enemy hired..." 'Well, that's what my gut feeling tells me at least...'

'I guess, we should listen to your gut feeling then.' Kurama told her with a shrug, but he also got a similar uneasy feeling. 'Just stay on guard kit.'

Sakura nodded at that. "Or what if those Ame-nin went after Idate-san? We definitely have to find him quickly."

"I agree...- Kyaaa!" Naruko shouted in surprise as she was dragged underwater. Kurama's red eyes narrowed at that in her mindscape.

"Oi, Naruko this is no time to be goofing off-" Sakura scolded her, thinking she was just playing around.

"No, that's not it!" Sasuke interrupted her in annoyance and dived under water, just to see that Naruko was wailing in the grasp of two Ame-nin, trying to break free as she was being dragged deeper and deeper.

Sakura quickly dived into the water as well. 'Naruko...'

'Geez, what a handful...' Sasuke thought in fond annoyance as he tried to reach her, but suddenly, a crowd of Mizu Bunshin appeared around them and grabbed onto them as well before dragging them deeper underwater too.

Naruko opened her eyes and saw how Sasuke and Sakura also were getting dragged deeper. 'Those two idiots followed right after me into the trap... I would have been able to handle that myself...' She shot a worried look in their direction before concentrating. 'Kurama, ready?!'

'Of freaking course!' Kurama answered her with a dangerous smirk and Naruko smiled foxily before red chakra burst out of her.

'Wha?!' The Ame-nin thought in shock as the water around the blond kitsune started to boil after coming into contact with the red chakra. The three water clones that were holding onto her until now, were dispelled from the brute force of the release from the red chakra. 'What was that technique just now?!'

'Now!' Naruko narrowed her eyes utterly serious and formed a single handsign. 'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!' A mass of clones appeared beneath her, just before the real Ame-nin grabbed onto her to make sure she couldn't form any handsigns or swim away.
