Konoha's New Prodigy: The Journey

33

"Suna?" Naruto asked with surprise. "I don't think so. She's not stable enough to be all alone."

"She won't be alone" Shinki replied. "I'll make sure of that."

"How?" Konohamaru asked. "Let's say you take her there. What will she do? She's not allowed to do missions. What if she has another breakdown?"

"I won't let that happen."

Konohamaru sighed "Is admirable what you're doing for her, Shinki. But you also have your own duties as future Kazekage. There will be times in which you'll be away from the ones you love most."

"Perhaps, he is right." Sasuke interveined, getting everyone's attention.

"Sasuke..." Naruto gave a warning look the Uchiha ignored.

"Himawari has always longed for freedom. Maybe Toneri's mind control of her has a lot to do with how far or close they're at the village. We extracted the serum from her back then, but...." he said before sighing. "Naruto. You know he had a huge influence on her life aswell on this village. A change of place will do good to her."

Naruto stood silent for a while, walking from side to side. Then he looked straight to Shinki's eyes.

'You know he's right brat'

'Shut up. You don't know anything dattebayo'

'Anything? ANYTHING?!?! HELL I'VE BEEN WITH YOU EVER SINCE YOU WERE BORN!! DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE OVER YOUR BODY?!?!'

'Okay, okay!! Geez...is just...'

'Just admit it. She's asked for this all her life. And finally someone apart from us is willing to do something for her and not for her powers'

'But what if he hurts her? Or worse, what if she hurts him or anyone at Suna?'

Kurama sighed, 'Look kid, I know Himawari is your daughter but. you know her powers are hard to handle. Maybe....maybe if that happens we have to take. ....drastic measures...'

"Fine, you'll take her on one condition." Naruto said to Shinki.

"What is it?" he replied.

"She will continue her medical treatment. She's allowed to train but not to do missions. Status report will be sent to Konoha once every month."

"Understood" Shinki said while bowing.

"And one more thing" Naruto said, stopping the young boy from leaving. "If something happens and nobody, not even I can't control her...."

Sasuke widened his eyes. ".....Naruto..." he murmured. Shinki took a big breath before nodding and leaving without saying a word.
