The Fox Spirit and The God of Yin

Ch.2 The Magician

"Naruto!" He snapped out of his thoughts, to realize that Sakura was standing at the bottom of the tree. With her hands on her hips and a pout on her face.

"Hey Sakura." He says with a small yawn at attached to it.

"Naruto, I've been calling your name for the past 30 minutes. What have you been doing?" He smiled nervously and scratched the back of his head.

"Sorry I was thinking about the day we first met." Sakura's pout turned into a soft smile remembering the time they spent with each other. It only lasted a few minutes till she remembered what she was here for.

"Oh Naruto! Now is not the time to be caught up in memory's. There's a Magician in town. He says he could do magic and I really want to see!" She said squealing in excitement.

"But why? I could do magic, we don't have to go to town to see a fake." Naruto said confused, as he jumped down from the tree. Landing on his knee, like a some superhero and got up, fixing his cloths in the process.

"Well that's not the only thing. I met Mr.Ibiki on the way here and he told me that Idate has come back from his mission! So he invited us for dinner!" My face light up.

"Really Idate is back! I thought he said he was gonna be gone for a month?" He asked impatiently. Sakura's pout returns as she eyes him.

'He doesn't act like this when I come back from missions. Humph, I'm a bit jealous right now!' She thought while Naruto was still eagerly waiting for a response.

"Well I asked him he said that the other party's decision was made quickly, so he didn't have to stay for that long."

"Well then? Let's go!" Naruto said as he rushed past her, out of the forest. Leaving Sakura behind.

"H-hey Naruto! Slow down! I can't run as fast as you!" She said running after him all the way to the town.

They two walk into town, well more like Sakura was pulling the blonde through the town. Apparently he lost his motivation and really felt like sleeping. He had this bad feeling all of a sudden. Like something was wrong he didn't put to much thought to it and let Sakura drag him.

"Come on Naruto! Hurry up!" She said pulling him through the town.

"I regret coming to the town now. I want to go home and sleep!" He said, exaggerating the end until he smelled the savory aroma of ramen.

"RAMEN! Hey let's go get some Sakura!" He said excitedly. Sakura huffed and rolled her eyes.

"No Naruto. I want to go to see the magician and besides we have to go to Mr. Ibiki's house for food and Idate, but mostly food." Naruto sighed and slouched down again. Letting the pink haired girl carry him a long. He looked around and saw many people in the town. Not like there wasn't many people on regular days but this is a small trade village, with a generals house was that was known to produced excellent soldiers for the Imperial family, but mostly traders and merchants. But this was definitely more then the normal. Which was weird.

'Is this Magician really that good?' He thought as he finally decided to walk on his own two feet but let Sakura hold his hand and guide him through the crowd. Soon they were stuck in a spot close to the front. Not too far back where you can't see anything and not too up front were you would get caught in the crossfire. As you might thinking yourself the perfect place to watch, especially being twice as late as most of the people here. In front was a cart all decorated with hands of different monsters and small bottles contained of different colored liquids. It all was so cliche, extra even. Naruto turned over to Sakura and she was clearly exited. He sighed.
