Reborn as Sakura and Hinata: Lost in the Wind

Making Trouble

I packed my bags as silently as I could, slipping the last of my sealing supplies into my backpack. I crept out of the door, pausing as I saw Lipstick.

"Keep Sasuke safe for me, okay?" I whispered.

Lipstick just stared blankly back, but I knew she understood.

I gave the house one more check to make sure that I was not forgetting anything, going back up to my room and to the window after I was certain that everything was in place. I stopped at the sill; was I really not going to talk to Sasuke before doing this? Images of him, groggy and snippy, came into my mind; I wouldn't be able to wake him up enough to get him to properly understand me anyways.

I leapt out of the window, hoping my silencing seals would work their magic once again and get me past my guards. I made it to the streets, not followed so far, before I began to sprint my way to Naruto's.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I knocked on his door loudly, him opening it a few minutes later in confusion.

"We're leaving now?" he asked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"You packed your bags right?" I pressed, wanting to get out of here before anyone found out.

"Yeah, I mean..." he turned to grab said bag, "I don't know what we're doing though."

"Just... come on, and I'll tell you what's going on." I huffed, grabbing his hand and pulling him out the door.

We began walking down the street towards the gates of Konoha, "This has to do with the tailed beast right?" Naruto asked.

"Yep," I nodded, "We need to get you to the cloud so that you can become more powerful."

"But I just got back." Naruto pouted, "How come I've gotta leave again?"

"To become more powerful." I repeated.

"But I've already done that." he frowned.

"Believe me," I insisted, "You can get a lot more powerful in ways you wouldn't know."

Naruto's eyes widened, "Whoa..."

I grinned, "You'll be mastering the nine-tails chakra in no time."

"But why are we leaving at night?" he asked, glaring up at the darkened sky.

"Because Tsunade would never allow me to do this." I mumbled.

"Wait... she doesn't know this is happening?" Naruto asked in concern.

"Nope! I'm kidnapping you!" I chuckled, "I'm probably going to be labeled an S-rank criminal after this."

Naruto stared at me wide eyed, "That's... bad."

I nodded, "Yep."

"Why would she not allow it?" Naruto's brow furrowed.

"Well, the cloud is our enemy." I began, "I'm a future seer, and you're the town's jinjuriki. This is honestly a disaster waiting to happen in Tsunade's eyes: two vital resources going right into the enemies hands."

"Oh..."

"But, I've been contacting the Raikage behind Tsunade's back, so we have permission." I chirped.

"That just seems like another reason for Grandma Tsunade to be mad at you." Naruto hummed.

We walked for a moment in silence.

"So, nobody knows about this?" Naruto seemed to be growing more and more nervous.

"Relax, we'll be fine!" I dismissed despite my own worries, "We're both... capable. C'mon, the gate's around the corner!"
