Ninja In Love (Sasuke X Oc)

...❝The Assassin of The Mist (Part 1)❞...
SHIORI POV
Suddenly my body felt heavier. And I'm starting to feel a little dizzy. But I'm staying calm
"This mist is so thick, you can't see anything" Sakura whispered
"The bridge is not far now. Our goal is near. Land of the Waves" said the man who rowed the boat
"Hmm?"- Naruto
The bridge is starting to look. We all looked up, astonished
"Well! So big!" Shouts Naruto
"Silent. I told you, no sound. Why do you think we travel like this? Cutting machines and rowing? Moving through thick fog? So they don't see us" said the rower
'I feel hot'
Naruto closed his mouth, putting his hands on it
"Mr Tazuna. Before we reach the dock, I want to ask you something... The people who are after you, I need to know why. If you don't tell us, I'm afraid I have to end this mission when we drop you ashore" Kakashi Sensei explained as we looked at Mr. Tazuna
He was silent for a moment
"I had no choice but to tell you," he said
"No, I want you to know the truth. As you said, this is beyond the scope of the initial mission. The one who was looking for my life was a very short man, who made a very long and deadly shadow"
"A deadly shadow? Hm. Who's that?" Kakashi Sensei asked
"You know him. Least. I'm sure you've heard his name before. He's one of the richest men in the world. Shipment magnets, Gato" said Mr. Tazuna
Kakashi Sensei's eyes widened
"Huh? A gato? From Gato Transport? He's a business leader, everyone knows him" Kakashi Sensei said
"Who, who? What, what?" Naruto asked
"Gato. Is a very powerful tycoon of a well-known company it's true. But beneath the surface, with the same ruthless methods he used to take over business and the country. He sells drugs and contraband. Using gangs and ninjas. It was one year ago, when Gato first set his sights on the Land of Waves. He came to our island and used his vast wealth to take full control of our transportation and shipping. Anyone who tried to block his path simply disappeared. On an island nation, the one who controls the sea controls everything, finances, government, our own lives. But there's one thing he's afraid of, the bridge. When completed, the bridge will unite us to the mainland and it will break its control. I'm the bridge maker" Tazuna explained
"So that way, since you are in charge of the bridge, you are blocking this gangster" Sakura said
"You threatened his control" I said afterwards
"That means, the people we fought in the forest, they worked for Gato" Sasuke added
"Ahh, hmm" Naruto scratched his head, unable to find anything to add
"I don't understand. If you knew he was dangerous and knew he was going to send a Ninja to eliminate you, why did you hide it from us?" Kakashi Sensei asked
"Because the Land of the Waves.is a small and poor country. Even our nobles have very little money. Ordinary people who built this bridge, they could not pay for A or B rank missions, it was too expensive. If you end the mission when you drop me ashore, there will be no bridge. They'll kill me, before I get home ... Buuut, don't feel sad about that, of course my sweet little granddaughter will be angry, she will yell 'Grandpa, I want my Grandpa!'"
Sakura and Naruto stared at her, sweat falling
"Oh. And my daughter will curse Ninja leaves, denounce and blame you for leaving her father and living her life in grief"
We keep staring at him (😒)
"Oh okay. It wasn't your fault. Forget it"
We sighed
"Well, I don't think we have a choice. We should keep an eye on you" Kakashi Sensei turned to Mr. Tazuna, smiling nervously
"Oh, I am very grateful" said Mr. Tazuna
Pov Tazuna's '
I won *show peace sign*'
Shiori Pov
I can't take it anymore, my head hurts
"Sasuke" I whispered weakly while leaning on Sasuke
Sasuke looked at me worried
"Hey what's wrong?" She asked
"What's wrong with Shiori?" Sakura asked worriedly
"His face was really flushed" Naruto commented, a little panicked
Kakashi Sensei put his hand on my forehead
"You're overheated. You have a fever" he said
"Shiori's. Why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well before we left the village?" tease Sasuke
"But I feel fine before we get on the boat. I would never dare to go anywhere if I felt ill. You know that" I defended
"Then you must be seasick" said Mr. Tazuna
"No, of course not" I replied
"The only thing that puts you in this state is your allergy" Sasuke said
Sasuke turned to face the rower
"sorry. But are there sunflowers on this ship?" ask Sasuke
"Yes actually. Under your seat" answered the rower
"I know that. I should have realized it earlier" Sasuke said as he closed my nose
"wait. Shiori's allergic to Sunflowers?" Naruto asked
"Yes. Very allergic. So do something useful just once and get the sunflower out under her chair and put it under yours" Sasuke ordered
"Do it yourself!" naruto said, annoyed
"Cannot be. If I touch her, she might feel worse in particular. We're always next door, remember?"
"Just do Naruto!" Sakura whispered screaming
"Augh. Good" Naruto gave up and took the flowers under my chair
"Will he be okay?" Kakashi Sensei asked
"Not for a while. His allergies always make him feverish" Sasuke replied
"I don't think Shiori will be effective for now" Kakashi Sensei sighed
"I'm sorry" I said sadly, Sasuke's hand still in my mouth
"Don't worry Shiori. It's better" Sakura said in panic
"Truly everything?" Sakura asked as she looked at Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi Sensei, sweating
"Right" they nodded
"Thank you everyone" I whispered happily
"Leave it to us. Believe me!" Naruto nyengir
"Shhhh!!!" We sh Naruto, our fingers over our lips. I put my finger over Sasuke's hand, which covered my mouth and nose
"It's very good" replied Mr. Tazuna
The fog disappeared, and a beautiful land appeared. We stopped at the pier
"Yes!" Naruto said in surprise
Everyone get off the boat
"Come Shiori. Get on my back. I will carry you" Sasuke said as he bowed, his back facing me
"OK" I nodded weakly and did as he said
"That's how far I've been doing. Good luck," said the rower
Mr. Tazuna replied "Right. Thank you for taking such a risk"
"Be careful" he turned on the engine and left
"OKAY. Take me to my house, and I mean take me there in one piece" said Mr. Tazuna
"True" replied Sensei Kakashi
Kakashi Pov
"Hold on, okay Shiori?" I turned to Shiori and patted her head
He nodded
We started walking. Shiori's eyes closed, asleep. His face was buried in Sasuke's neck
'The next ninja they sent was not Chunin, but Jonin. Elite Ninja with deadly skills. Hmm'
Naruto Pov
I walk in front of everyone. Sasuke suddenly caught up and walked slightly in front of me
'I won't let Sasuke get all the glory this time. Believe that'
I ran forward. Look around. I hear voices
'There!'
I took out a kunai and threw it at the bush which let out a rustling sound
Sakura Pov
"Ahh" We looked at him with wide eyes
"Hm. It was just a mouse" Naruto said as he tried to act cool
"Rice? Yeah, true! Everyone can see your stupid actions! You're so obvious, it's embarrassing!" I said with anger
"Naruto, it's a kunai knife. It's dangerous" said Kakashi Sensei
"Grpr. Stop trying to scare me, you little messy dwarf!" Mr. Tazuna shouted
"Hey, is there anyone hiding in there? No, they're there. Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, right there!" Naruto said, throwing another kunai into the bushes
"That's Naruto!" I hit him on the head
"Why did you do that? Someone is really following us! I mean it!" Naruto said as he rubbed his head where I hit him
"Yes, right! Stop lying to us and acting like a stupid kid!" yell at
Kakashi Sensei went into the bushes and we followed. We saw a white rabbit, petrified. A kunai on top of his head
I'm panting "Naruto! Look what you're doing!"
"ah! A rabbit Ahh" Naruto walked forward and picked it up "Ahhh Oh, forgive me little rabbit! I'm sorry!" He said, hugging the rabbit, nudging his cheek with it
"All the fuss about these rodents?" Mr. Tazuna sighed
Kakashi Pov '
That's a snow bunny. But color. They only have white fur during the winter. When the days are short and have little sunshine'
Sasuke Pov
I felt Shiori hug my neck tighter
I looked at her sleeping face as I smiled slightly
Kakashi Pov '
These rabbits are raised indoors, away from light, which can only be for one purpose. Replacement technique's'
I turned my head in a certain direction
'So they're already here'
Sasuke Pov
"Revelation!" Kakashi Sensei shouted
A sword flew towards us. We're all ducks. I immediately released my grip on Shiori, I turned around, hugged her, and pushed her to the ground with me on top of her. He slightly snorted and slightly opened his eyes with great difficulty
"Sorry about that Shiori. You can go back to sleep now" I told her
I woke up and gently carried her on my back again
"No. I want to stay awake for a while" Shiori said weakly. His eyes were barely open, almost closed
"No. You need to rest" I told him with concern
"Please" he said even weakly
"*sigh* Just for a moment" I told him
He nodded
Kakashi Pov
We saw a figure standing on a sword in a tree
'That must be'
Pov Naruto's '
There goes. My time to shine. Believe that! I'm ready this time. I won't lose to Sasuke'
I thought as I looked back towards Sasuke
"alright. If it wasn't Zabuza Momochi. Red Ninja from Hidden Village in the Fog" said Kakashi Sensei
'Red Ninja? Anything. Nothing's gonna stop me. Ready, Go!'
I started running towards Zabuza, but Kakashi Sensei stopped me
"You're obstructing. Back," he said
"But why?" I asked
"He was not like any other ninja. He's in another league. If he's up against us, I'm gonna need this"
He lifted his headband, starting to reveal his left eye
"It can be dangerous" Kakashi Sensei added
