My Ninja Way

18

So far its been a total year since Naruto left to train with Master Jiraiya . I will admit, things have gotten a lot more boring with him gone. Everyone though, is still the same, but are still training extra hard. Sakura even wanted to train under Tsunade. Which, I'm glad to say, she's improved a lot over the past year. She still has a long way until, she reaches her true potential, if you ask me. Shikamaru really stepped up his game and took his job seriously.... Well kind of. Despite of that laziness of his... And everyone else is still the same, not that major in changes.

"Kairi, i have a mission for you." Tsunade said, breaking me out of my train of thoughts. I looked over at her, curiously along with Sakura. "I know you've been to Kumogakure and trained under the Raikage for awhile-"

She paused, when Sakura gasped. "So thats where you were?!" Then stopped and looked at Lady Tsunade in apology. "S-Sorry Milady."

"Now as I was saying. The Raikage deeply respects you and requested you for this mission." Tsunade smiled handing over a scroll. "Your due back in a weeks time."

"Sweet! I'll see you when I get back!" I yelled, slamming the door behind me and running back home to pack a couple of things for the mission. I was beyond happy, its been a long time since I've seen everyone. i wonder if they've changed a lot. If Omoi still over thinks things too much, or if Kauri is still the same way. What about KB? Or Old Man Raikage? I guess I'll find out, when I arrive there. I stopped and smiled at my bracelet and necklace. After I was finished packing, I locked my door behind me and continued out of the village.

I sighed, once seeing Kotetsu-nii and Izumo-nii sleeping on guard duty. They will never change. Throwing my hair into a low ponytail, I continued my way to the Cloud village.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*

After about a couple of days, I could finally see the gates of the village hidden in the clouds. Smiling proudly, I walked up to the villages guards and showed them my pass. After I gained entry, I entered the safety of the village. The scenery hasn't changed one it, though there were really dark clouds over the Raikages office.

'Im guessing Ai, is in a bad mood...' I sweatdropped.

Trust me I trained with him and I know what its like when he's in a bad mood. It's almost like Aunt Tsunade losing a gamble, while someones trying to ruin her mood. I sighed and rubbed the back of my head, debating either to go ahead and face the wrath of the scary Raikage or try to find some people that I know.

"What if the Raikage got so mad, that it continued to storm, filling our village in lightning! Causing us to be shocked to death, by his awesome strength!" I overheard a voice say ahead of me.

"God! Quit overthinking things you idiot!" A female replied, with anger.

I chuckled, 'I can think of two people that act like that.' Smiling I walked between them and wrapped both arms around their necks. "Now! Now! Your thinking to much about this Omoi. But I suppose Old Man Raikage could do it with his amazing power!"

"Huh?! Kairi?!" They yelled with smiling, as I released them and gave a peace sign.

"Yo! So whats up, ya know?" I asked as we continued walking down the busy road.

"We were just heading to the Raikage's office for a mission." Omoi replied, putting a new sucker in his mouth. "So what are you doing here?"

"I was given a mission as well. I'm heading to the office now." I replied."So do you know why why Old Man Raikage is creating a storm?" Nodding my head to the big dark ominous clouds.

"I'm not really sure. But I think it has to do something about Lord Bee." Karui said, as we began to enter the building. Omoi and Karui seemed to get more nervous, the more we came to the door. I looked at the questionly, before hearing a big yell.

"FIND HIM AND MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN!" a rough voice echoed, along with a panicked voice, it wasn't long before a fellow kumogakure ninja ran out shaking.

"Yikes..." I muttered, then turned to Karui and Omoi, who were now hiding behind me. Sweat Dropping, I turned back to the door. Okay, time to face his wrath! Smirking I walked up to the door and slammed in open, much to their horror. "YO! Raikage! Its a beautiful day, don't you say?!" I rapped, laughing in my head when his face was angry to full of surprise. Im guessing he thought I was Bee and was about to yell.

"Bee is a bad influence..." Ai groaned, but chuckled at me. "Well Do you have the scroll?"

"Yep." I pulled the scroll out of my pocket and handed it to him. "Say.. Where is Bee?"

"Probably making a another rap..." Ai sighed, shaking his head, reading the scroll, then looked up at me. "You're dismissed, Kairi. Though it's good to see you again."

"Same here" I smiled, then ran to the window and opened it. "Imma go find KB with a killa rap, ya see?" I rapped, causing everyone to anime fall, as I jumped out of the window. I paused when I stopped when I stopped falling and landed on a very enlarged hand.

"Bakayaro! Kanyaro!" I heard a familiar voice rap.

"I cant help it! I was born to fly just like a butterfly" I rapped after he set me down.

"Eh? Well what do you know. Its little Kai." Bee rapped, patting my head. Pouting I swatted his hand away.

"Dont do that!" I mumbled, but smiled up at him. Yep Bee was still the same, like the others. Im glad.

"So what are you doing here, Kai?" Bee asked as I fixed my now messed up ponytail.

"I had a mission to give a scroll to Ai, but unfortunately... I have to head back now." Sighing, I explained everything. By the time the sun was high in the sky, I waved to all of my old friends and made my way back to the village. I smiled before concentrating on the blue sky and a couple of birds flying above.

"This feeling I have is strange..."
