Flowery Fox - 《[ NaruIno ]》[COMPLETE]

The Destruction of Konoha / 20

Several days passed quietly since Naruto left the village. No one has heard of him. Nobody knew where he headed or where he was currently. But currently the people had other problems to care about 

The cloud village and the mist village are not willing to negotiate with the leaf and the sand. The relationship between the villages is getting tenser and tenser. The hidden leaf originally did not have good relations to the cloud since they were the two most active forces during the Third Great Ninja War that costed the life of many shinobi but also many innocent people.

And even some ninja in the leaf had a hard time. Ino was still devastated that her boyfriend left without taking her with him. But she tried and forget the sadness as Naruto did all of this just to make sure she was safe. And she loved that about him. His desire to make sure his loved ones were safe. Ino felt happy that she was maybe the most important person to Naruto. He at least was to her. And she hoped that he'd come back soon. They were 17, nearly 18 years old and she wanted to spend the rest of her lifetime with Naruto.

But an annoying obstacle tried to hinder her. Sai. They hadn't had a normal conversation since she slapped him right in front of everyone to express her disgust of Sai talking badly about Naruto. Of course it hurt to see him leave without any traces but Ino knew that it was for the greater good.

Since he left, Sai would always try and advance on Ino and try to talk to her. Ino would always reject and avoid him and he would become furious. She wasn't afraid of him but she wanted to prevent any uncomfortable situations between him and herself. That's why Ino was spending nearly all of her free time with at least one or two of her friends so Sai's moves would be rather discrete and not that offensive.

All in all you could see that the entire village was tensed up and feared a sudden attack. And unfortunately their fears should be confirmed.

It was the afternoon. The streets of Konoha were busy as everyone had something to do whether it be work or getting groceries. And so no one noticed a strange figure passing through the crowd of people.

The stranger hid is appearance under a black cloak. He walked quietly past the people that were walking in front of him. He was avoiding every contact he could have had.

When he reached the middle of a crossroad he stopped in his tracks. This would of course annoy the people walking behind him but they didn't mind any further and walked past him. The stranger stood there silently and watched the flow of people walking around.

Soon... nothing would be left. Not a single person would be alive.

At least Rikuro divided it like that.

In an instant several explosions all around the area could be heard. And in an instant the people started to run around like wild chicken trying to find their way out of their cage and walk into freedom. The stranger showed barely any emotion. But he felt.

Soon those people would become lifeless corpses. Their spirits would have another chance at life.

As the people around him screamed like crazy and were afraid he slowly took of his hood and therefore revealed his appearance. And the only thing you saw was a bright orange flash as the person started levitating over the ground and towards the sky.

...-...

Ino stood there. Dumbfounded. Not knowing what to do. Several explosions went off and people were screaming and running out of fear. She felt the fear as well but couldn't move due to the shock. That was until her friends dragged her with them.

"Ino! Ino! We gotta go. We gotta move!", Shikamaru exclaimed.

Ino, Shikamaru and Temari were running. Ino didn't know where but she trusted Shikamaru.
