Ninja In Love (Sasuke X Oc)

...❝Tazuna's House❞...

SHIORI POV

I opened my eyes. Wake up from my sleep. I was in bed in a house, which I did not know. I felt a wet cloth on my forehead

I feel better than before

I looked around the room where I was

"This must be Mr. Tazuna's house" I said in a whisper

My eyes were fixed on Kakashi Sensei, who was beside me

"Oh Shiori, you're awake" he said

"Sensei?" I called in a questioning tone

"Both wake up? Are you both okay?" a foreign voice asked

"Yes. Thank you" I replied politely

"I've gotten better, it'll be a week before I can move normally" Kakashi Sensei groaned in pain while sitting up

"See. It's better if you don't move, so just lie down" he said

"mmmmmmm. Alright" Kakashi Sensei reluctantly did as he was told

Everyone goes into the room

"See. Shiori is awake. And Sensei's coming!" naruto said

"Shiori" said Sasuke, relieved as he walked towards me, bowing parallel to me and hugging me

"..." - ".I'm still a bit angry so I don't know how to react to him right now

Sasuke let go of his embrace and pulled me towards him making me lean on him

'Hmph'

"Listen Sensei. Your Sharingan is amazing and everything, but if it weighs you down, it might not be worth it" Sakura knelt between my futon and Sensei's futon

"Sorry" Kakashi Sensei apologized

"Do you feel better now Shiori?" Sakura asked with a worried look on her face

"Yes. I'm fine now. Thank you" I replied with a smile on her

"That's great. Your fever has gone down" Sensei said, putting his hand on my forehead

"Well, you did defeat one of the most powerful Ninja Assassins, so we'll be safe for a while" Tazuna said

"really. But, you know that masked boy? What about her?" ask Sakura

"Masked boy?" I asked, confused

"It's a long story" Naruto replied

"He's from the Village's Elite Tracking Unit Hidden in the Fog. The mask was only worn by the most elite Shinobi. The Anbu Black Ops, also known as the Inferno Army, destroyed all traces of the Red Ninja's corpse. The Shinobi's body contains many secrets. Ninjutsu, Chakra, special medicines used in his body. This is the secret of his village. If his enemy finds him, his people will be in grave danger. For example, if I were to die at the hands of an enemy, he would try to analyze my Sharingan. In the worst case, the entire Jutsu can be stolen and used against our home village. It is the sacred duty of Shinobi trackers to prevent this, to keep the village safe. If a Ninja betrays his village, the trackers hunt him down, eliminate him, and obliterate every trace of his existence" Kakashi Sensei replies to Sakura

...•~•~•~•~•~•👑•~•~•~•~•~•...

"Are you still feeling Shiori's dizzy?" ask Sakura

"A little bit" I answered

"Then, you better lie down" Sasuke said as he gently pushed me into the futon

Sasuke. I looked back at him with a frown

"What's that?" ask Sasuke

I turned away from him with 'hmph'

"Did I do something? If so, tell me" He told me

"Find out, asshole" I whispered loud enough to hear as I pulled the blanket over my head

SASUKE POV

Shiori has been cold to me ever since she woke up

'Ck. What's problem? What am I doing?'

Kakashi Sensei is sitting down. Thinking for a while now. With his hands on his head

KAKASHI POV

'What's this? If Zabuza is done. Why do I feel like this? Something is wrong. I think I missed something'

SHIORI POV

"Hey. Are you all right? Sensei?" Naruto asked

"Hmm? Oh. Yep. To finish what I said, the tracker ninja handled the body immediately, on the spot, so there was no room for error" he told us

"Is that really important?" ask Sakura

"try to think. Do you remember what that tracker did with Zabuza's body?" Kakashi Sensei asked

I lowered the blanket slightly to look at Sensei and Sakura's conversation. The blanket no longer covered my eyes and nose

"We don't know what he's doing. I mean, I think he took her somewhere" Sakura replied

"Exactly. Butwhy? He was supposed to work on Zabuza there, as soon as possible. Think of the weapon he used to drop. Do you remember what it was?"

"Throwing Needles" Sasuke replied

"No way" his eyes widened

"Exactly. Nothing has increased"-Kakashi

"He may still be alive" I commented.

"What are you guys talking about? You destroyed the killer" said Mr. Tazuna

"This is truth. Shiori's right. Zabuza is alive" Kakashi Sensei told us

"Huh?!"- Naruto, Sakura, Tazuna

Their jaws fell

"But we saw his body! Believe me!" naruto said

"Kakashi Sensei, you check it yourself! You said her heart stopped" Sakura added

"His heart has indeed stopped" Kakashi Sensei replied

"But. It was only a temporary state, to simulate death. The weapon used by the tracker is mostly senbon. They can penetrate deeply but rarely kill except regarding vital organs. Not in the neck. They are modified from needles used for medical treatments, such as acupuncture. Trackers are trained to know every detail of the human body. Causing the heart to pause while keeping the body alive is easy for them. First, he takes Zabuza away, though much heavier than he is. Second, he used senbon, which is the exact effect, but it is rarely fatal. From these two factors, we can conclude that the tracker did not attempt to destroy Zabuza. He tried to save her" Kakashi Sensei explained

Mister Tazuna raised her hand "Come on. You're thinking too much about this, aren't you?"

"I didn't see what happened but Kakashi Sensei's explanation alone made sense. That's logical" I said

"'After facing suspicion, a ninja prepared quickly. Doubt causes disaster' Every Shinobi knows this saying" Kakashi Sensei said

Naruto chuckles

KAKASHI POV

'Hm. She was actually happy to hear Zabuza was still alive. Now Naruto gets another shot at him '

SAKURA POV

"Sensei's. You said 'get ready fast'. But how can we do that when you can barely move?" I asked

Kakashi Sensei laughed

"Huh?" I looked at him confused

"Wait on! A little last-minute training won't make us strong enough to fight Zabuza. You can barely defeat him even with your Sharingan! We have to make sense about this!" yell at

'Are you trying to get us killed ?! Cha!!'

"Sakura, why can I stop Zabuza? Because, you all helped me. You're all grown up. Naruto!"

"Huh?" Naruto looked up cautiously

Kakashi Sensei smiled, "You've grown the most

Naruto laughed

' He does seem stronger and more confident, but'

"So, you noticed Kakashi Sensei! Now everything will be better. Believe it"

"I can't believe it and there won't be anything good" we heard the voice of a child behind us

"Hmm?" We looked towards that voice

A boy in a hat was standing in front of us

"Who are you?!" Shouted Naruto while pointing at the boy

"Argh. Inari, where have you been?" Mr. Tazuna asked with open arms

Inari ran and hugged him

"Welcome back, grandfather!"

The woman walked towards the two of them, with her hands on her hips

"Inari, that's very disrespectful. These ninjas helped your grandfather and brought him here safely"

Mister Tazuna smiled as she rubbed Inari's head "It's okay. Its alright. I'm also disrespectful to them *chuckles*"

"Mom, don't you see these people are going to die? Gato and his men will return and find them and exterminate them!" inari

Naruto stood up, "What did you say boy?" Naruto asked, annoyed

"Listen. Do you know what a Super Ninja is? Well, it's me, just a lot better. I'm going to be Hokage. This Gato or Blato or whatever his name is not suitable for a true hero like me" Naruto said confidently

'Super Ninja? Yeah right'

Inari looked down with a serious look, "Ha. There is no such thing as a hero. You're just full of stupid ideas!"

"What did you say?!"- Naruto

I held him down when he tried to get Inari

"Naruto! Relax!" I yelled at him

Inari looked up again

"If you want to stay alive, you have to go back to where you came from" he said and started walking away

"Inari, wait. Where you going?" Mr. Tazuna asked as Inari opened the door

"To see the ocean. I want to be alone!" He answered without looking at us

"I'm sorry about that" Tazuna said apologizing

A few minutes later, Naruto left

"I'll be right back Shiori" Sasuke said as he stood up. I didn't even look at him, I replied

He breathed and left with the others

"What's going on? You've been cold to Sasuke since you woke up" Kakashi Sensei said

"You saw it! Earlier. When you and Zabuza were about to fight...Sasuke's... Sasuke is about to kill himself!" I cried. Clenched my fists

"What about me? Did he even think about how I would feel if he did?! Is he planning to just leave me ?!" tears started to fall on my face

"I understand how you feel. But you and I both know that Sasuke was just trapped at the time. His fear appeared at that moment. He cares about you"

"I know but.just keep it. From where I stood, he was being selfish" I said slowly

"It's better to talk to him about it than to keep him inside yourself. Speak out"

"I think you're right"

"good. By the way. Shiori" Kakashi Sensei called out

"Yes?"

"You don't get sick anywhere, do you? Do you think you can move?" Kakashi Sensei asked

"I'm fine Sensei. It was just mild allergic fever. I'm fine" I replied

"You'll be able to practice then"

NARUTO POV

I climbed the stairs in anger

"Who does that think he is? I'll put him in his place now" I said, annoyed

I heard crying so I peeked into the room

'uh? She crying?'

"*crying*No papa No *crying"-Inari

I look down

SHIORI POV

"Sensei's. Can I come out for a second?" I asked

"Sure" Sensei nodded

I leaned over and left the room

As I walked along the hallway, I saw Sasuke in front of me by the window, leaning against the wall, his eyes closed and his arms crossed. I kept walking, not paying attention. I was going to pass her, then she suddenly grabbed my arm

I said nothing and sadly looked down at the ground

"What's wrong with you? You've been ignoring me since you woke up. What the hell am I doing?" He asked calmly with a hint of anger in his voice

'I've never put a brave face in front of Sasuke, even now'

I started crying again

"*Seeper*Shiori? Hey don't cry. I'm not that angry" he said, wiping away my tears

I fell to the ground. Sasuke sat down beside me

"You're going to kill yourself before" I told him

"Oh.that" he said, seemed unable to find the right answer

"I can't believe you're going to kill yourself. What about me huh? Have you ever thought how I would feel if you were to die? Or what will happen to me. I was so angry and afraid that you would leave me like that" I cried

Sasuke hugged me

"You're right. I wasn't thinking about you at all. I'm sorry" He hugged me tighter

"I hate you. I hate you" I said as I lightly hit her chest

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that"

"Don't do that again!" I was crying

"will not. I promise" She pulled away as she said this with a smile

I looked at her and more tears fell. I kissed her lips as more and more tears fell
