Weapons Known as Shinobi (Part 2)
SHIORI POV
Inari pulled me with her. Run
"Naruto and the others fought and risked their lives while the others did nothing. We also have to fight" Inari said
"Oh" I looked at him in admiration
I smiled
"All right then" I said
We stopped by a house and started knocking
"Hello" I knocked
"Uncle Kinshi. Hurry along! Come with me to the bridge. We don't have to hide anymore. If we all fight together, we can finally defeat Gato. And I know we can" Inari said
"No Inari. I've given up. Fighting is for heroes. Like dad. See what's the point of him? Isn't one dead hero enough?"
I looked at Inari sadly
"What will bring the battle now to us, other than more fallen heroes? And more regrets? No Inari, my heart is already full of enough regrets. To last a lifetime"
"yeah. I don't want to live in regret either. And that's why we have to fight! I know you care about everyone in the village and me too. You and your mom and grandpa and everybody. That's why we have to do it against" Inari said confidently
"All my life I've been a coward. But now I know crying and hiding from the things we fear doesn't make them go away" Inari said, then ran away from home
"Wait For Inari!" I said while chasing after him
"Quick! Come to the bridge!" Shouts Inari
"Please join us!" I scream “Come to the bridge with us”
We went to another house and knocked
"Is there anyone there? Huh hello? Come to the bridge with us and fight!" Shouts Inari
"Hello?" I knocked
"What are we doing now? None of them were willing to open the door to listen" Inari said sadly
"Don't worry about that Inari" I tried to cheer her up
"Then. If no one else wants to help"
Inari and I went back to their house
Inari picks up an automatic arrow and a helmet
"You didn't do what I thought you did, did you?" I said nervously
"Well, someone will do it" he replied, wearing his shoes
"Too dangerous. I'm going" I said
"I'm coming with you" Inari said in seriousness
"Don't be silly. You will not go to the bridge alone" Tsunami said
"We have to go alone because no one else will come with us. We don't have a choice"
"You don't have to go at all"
"Inari" I whispered as I looked at them
Inari took her arrow and walked towards the door
"Stop this. You're just a little kid. What do you think you can do?"
"You're right. I'm just a little kid. But a kid who knows what it means to stand up and fight. I'm my father's son"
"I'll look after him" I told Miss Tsunami
"No. Inari, Shiori, wait"
Inari opens the door. We would step out, when we saw everyone standing in front of us. We gasp
NARUTO POV
The Gato people are attacking us. We just stand here looking at each other
Then, a kunai landed in front of the tugboat. We looked in the direction where it came from. We saw Shiori, her hair dancing in the wind
"Shiori!" We shouted
“There's one little thing you forgot! Before you set foot in our village, you have to pass us all!” one of the villagers shouted
SHIORI POV
We're heading to the bridge. We saw a group of men attacking Kakashi Sensei and the others. I threw a kunai in front of them. They looked up and saw me
"Shiori!" they scream
“There's one little thing you forgot! Before you set foot in our village, you have to pass us!” shouted one of the villagers
"Yes!" The rest screamed
NARUTO POV
All the villagers lined up with weapons, Inari and Shiori in front and center
Everyone started cheering
"Come!" I was confused but glad to see it
“Hero usually appears in the last moments, you” Inari said with a smile
“They all came. The whole village” whispered Tazuna, crying
The tugboat began to doubt whether to attack or not
"Jutsu Clone Shadow!" shanky
"Jutsu Clone Shadow! Kakashi Style"
"Still want to fight?" Kakashi Sensei and his clone asked
The tugboats quickly ran into their boats
"Victory!" inari
Everyone followed with shouting and cheering
SHIORI POV
"I'm sorry I'm late" I said
"Yes. You can come faster” Sasuke smiled at me
We saw everyone quiet. We find out the reason and see Kakashi Sensei bringing Zabuza towards us
Snow started to fall
"No way!" said a villager in disbelief
"Huh? Snow all year?" the others asked
"Imust be!" said one of the villagers
“You're always by my side. The least I can do is be next to you in the end. I know it's impossible, but... I wish I could go where you're headed. How I wish I could join you there.Haku” said Zabuza weakly.
"He said. Where he comes from.. it always snows at all times” said Naruto with teary eyes.
"of course. His spirit is as pure as snow. You never know, Zabuza, maybe you'll join him there. Who said it" Kakashi Sensei told him
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
We made graves for Haku and Zabuza as memorials
"Is that really Kakashi Sensei?" sakura asked, kneeling near the cross
“Shinobi is just a tool in the hands of destiny. There is no point in wondering if it is right or wrong. That'sthat's all. It was the same in the Village Hidden in the Leaves"
“Well, if you ask me, if that's what it means to be a ninja, something's wrong. Ughh" Naruto turned to face us "That's why we went through all this training? Just to end up like them?”
"What's the reason for that?" ask Sasuke
Judging from what you told me about the two of them, I know how Haku feels, I said
"What do you mean Shiori?" ask Sakura
"You know, about a person's goals and how they live for someone else's dreams" I replied
Sasuke looked at me seriously
"Wait, are you talking about you and Sasuke?" Naruto asked
"Not really. I'm just saying you have a lot of respect for someone, you will follow their every command. There is someone like that to me in my clan” I said
“Can we stop talking about this now?” Sasuke said awkwardly
"What's the problem? Jealousy?" ask me to flirt
“Hn. No" Sasuke turned his face away from me
“Yeah, that's a question with no answer. And that is something that Ninjas have to deal with every day of our lives, like Zabuza and that boy”
"okay! I just made a decision! From now on, I find my own Ninja path. The right and straight way without any regrets. From now on, I follow Naruto's path!” Naruto stated
"Eh! *Chuckles*" Kakashi Sensei chuckles
"But I still can't believe Haku turned out to be a man. I'm jealous for nothing" I said
Everyone laughs. Except for Sasuke, who grinned
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
"We'll never be able to complete the bridge without you. I can't tell you how much we'll miss you” Mr. Tazuna told us
“Be careful” said Miss Tsunami
"Thank you for everything"
“Now now. Don't let it all falter. We will be back soon and pay a visit” Naruto told Inari, who lowered her head and cried
He shook his head
"You swear you'll do it?" inari asked, her voice trembling
"of course. You know, it's okay to cry if you want. There's nothing wrong with that. Go for it" Naruto said, becoming emotional as well
“Who said I wanted to cry? By the way, if there's nothing wrong with that, why don't you keep crying?” Shouts Inari
"No. You go first" Naruto tried to be tough
"Forget it" Naruto turned around and the two of them began to cry silently
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
We started walking from the completed bridge to the mainland
“Once we get back, I'll let Iruka Sensei make me a messy ramen to celebrate the mission over. Oho! And just wait until I tell Konohamaru about all my adventures! The boy will adore me" Naruto said
I chuckled
"Hey" call Sakura
"Yes?" Naruto asked
"It's not Naruto. Sasuke, when we get back, you want to go out and do something together?"
"I don't think so. Thank you" replied sasuke
"Oh. Okay" said Sakura disappointed
"Hey Sakura, we can do something together if you want" Naruto said
“Hey, that's a private conversation! Defeat!” Sakura punches Naruto
I approached Sasuke
“I have no plans to accept the invitation. You know that," said Sasuke, looking ahead
"I know" I answered
"Hei Sasuke" call me
"Yes?"
“I've been thinking. Can you help me?" I asked
"What's that?" He turned his eyes to look at me
"Can you teach me the Fireball Jutsu?" I asked
"Huh? Why suddenly?” aska wants to know
“I want to learn more Ninjutsu and become stronger. First I want to learn the key Jutsu of the Uchiha Clan. Besides, I need to learn it because I will become an Uchiha someday” I said confidently
“Hn. Sure, fine" Sasuke grinned
