the great pretender

i'll leave

"nami, do you have to go?"
naruto asked the other blonde.  the sky was dark out, yet the lights of the many street lanterns laminated the village. naruto had his head against the door and his hand weakly laid over the handle. nami sighed, she wanted to say no, but she couldn't.

"y-yea..."
nami said. she reached over for naruto, but he didn't need to be touched to make him look at her. naruto turned around and nami stared at him with worried eyes. his cheeks were wet from the tears that had been rolling down.
"naruto..."

the boy took nami's hand and pulled her inside his house. he threw nami and himself on the couch and let the tears roll down. deep inside, he felt like he could trust her.
"nami, stay with me... please..."

nami watched him, not knowing how to reply. she wanted to stay, yet she also wanted to be alone. nami decided to stay with the uzumaki.
"alright, but not for too long..."
nami said under her breath.

she grabbed the handle to naruto's door and opened it, entering his apartment. she stepped foot and immediately noticed how messy it was, but it was also incredibly small. the "apartment" overall was tiny, maybe a third of her own apartment.

naruto led the way to his bed that was pushed near a wall and sat on it as he chilled, tears still rolling down his eyes. nami couldn't just leave him there, but she had no idea what to do.

"naruto, why's your apartment so small?"
nami asked the boy as she sat beside him and put an arm over him.

"this is what the hokage gave me..."
naruto said. he rested his head on nami's arm and closed his eyes.

"are you hungry?"
nami asked. she untied naruto's ninja headband and put it aside. the blonde wiped naruto's tears away with her free hand and smiled.

naruto nodded.
"there should be some instant ramen in the cupboard."

nami stood up and opened the cupboard, only to find a bowl on instant ramen and some expired food. she then opened the fridge out of pure curiosity, only to find more expired food that was starting to rot. nami grabbed a pan and began boiling water to make the ramen.

"naruto, do you want the beef or the chicken?"
nami asked the boy.

"the beef."
naruto replied as he walked over to nami.
"how come you're making only one?"

"i'm leaving. i have to talk to the hokage."
nami took the boiling water and put the noodles in, along with the powder. though it wasn't much, she handed it to naruto and the boy seemed grateful enough.
"i'll see you soon, naruto."

nami sprinted out the door and ran towards the hokage's office, catching the eye of a certain uchiha. sasuke noticed how fast she was running and began chasing her out of curiosity, but kept a distance between them to not get caught.

the blonde burst through the hokage building and into the hokage office without a single knock. in the room she saw kakashi standing in front of the hokage.

"nami, you have to start knocking."
the hokage said, but he could feel her anger rising.
nami walked past kakashi and slammed her hands over his desk.

"i want you to find naruto a better living situation."
nami yelled in the hokage's face, but hiruzen kept his perfect posture.

"nami, i don't think that's possible."

"naruto is 12 and he lives in a tiny apartment. over half of the food he owns is expired and he's constantly being hated on from the village. fix this, you old geezer."
nami roared. kakashi placed a hand on her shoulder and ripped her away from the desk.

"i'm afraid that's not possible."

"if you can't get naruto to get some respect from everyone around the village and give him a better house then i'll leave and he can take over for me."
nami said, but he voice sounded nothing but serious.

"for the last time, you cannot leave the village."
hiruzen said, his voice loud and stiff.

"i'll run away and find shisui, them all i own will go to naruto."

"nami, shisui's dead."
kakashi said slowly.
nami jolted her head backwards with pain in her eyes.
"then i'll leave and find itachi."
