Chapter 35 - Land of Waves [4] (1/2)
Knocking on the door of Inari's room, Naruto entered after the boy started saying that he wouldn't allow him to enter ''Yo, boy.'' he said.
''Don't enter! I don't want to talk with you!'' Inari shouted at the blonde teenager and unsurprisingly, Naruto wasn't affected by the shout in any means.
''I'll tell you a story, Inari. There was once a baby, he was the son of an important person but on the day of his birth, his parents were killed and so, he was alone. The baby was m.a.t.u.r.e compared to his peers, even when he was only 1 year old, he could think clearly, however, something happened.'' Naruto said as Inari flinched slightly at the tone that unwantedly became cold.
''People from his own Village started to hate him for no reason - No matter where he went, nobody wanted to give him food, nobody cared about him, instead, they shouted at him, they cursed at him, they tortured him, the baby then grew up to a young boy and at 3 years old, he met a kind man, that is his older brother, both of them suffered and so they quickly grew fond of each other, they found happiness even after everything that happened.'' Naruto said in a single breath before he added
''What I mean is, Inari, it doesn't matter what your past is, you should be happy from what you have right now, your mother and your grandpa, this is because they care about you, if even the boy could find happiness even after suffering so much, I believe that you can also do that, don't you think?''
Inari nodded as the many tears that gathered over his eyes dripped down his cheeks before Naruto trademark smile appeared on his face ''This is why I promise to you, I'll avenge Kaiza and kill Gato. I'll complete that promise because this is my Nindo, I won't ever go back on a promise!'' he said.
The young boy muttered while staring at Naruto departing location ''I believe in you, Naruto-san...''
Forest near Land of Waves.
''Inject your Chakra on that paper, Sakura.'' Kakashi said towards Sakura while handing her a paper, it looked ordinary by any means.
The pink-haired teenager nodded before injecting her Chakra and in a matter of seconds, the Chakra Paper became wet and stopped there, meaning her Chakra Nature is Water.
Kakashi nodded slightly ''You have Water Chakra Nature, huh? Well, it's good. Let's make a deal, Sakura, if you can learn the basics of Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Substitution Technique) and Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique) within a week, I'll get Naruto to teach you Suiton!'' he said.
The Ninja Academy did teach such Jutsu but not the actual application of it, as such, most Commoner Ninjas don't know even the basics of it, Sakura is an example of such Ninja.
'Oi, why should I teach her?' Naruto thought, wondering as to why he needs to teach that girl, to him, she's just an annoying fangirl that won't have much future, however, he agreed at the very moment that Kakashi said ''I'll go to Ichiraku Ramen for two bonus days in the same week.''
At his mindscape, Kurama laughed loudly 'HAHAHA! Kit, you've been bribed by Ramen!'
