[Naruto] Ninja Notes of a Fan Girl

"..."

Early in the morning, after having breakfast, my snow friend was lying on the bed, unconsciously in a trance.

"I'm telling you, no matter how free you are, you still have to help me wash the dishes!"

Saaki Aoga's voice came from the kitchen.

Xueyou turned over and didn't answer him, pretending to be asleep.

"Hey, you guy."

Can't hear, can't hear...

Snow friend closed his eyes, buried his face in the pillow, and simply slept.

"Snow friend."

"..."

"Snow friend."

"..."

Wearing plastic gloves, Saaki Aoga came to her room helplessly. When he saw the girl with her back turned to him, he said: "Even if you have gone to bed, you still have to get up and run."

"If you want to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., can't you wait a while?" Xueyou got up and said dissatisfiedly.

"That's not it." Saaki Aoga said sternly: "It's a message from our dear Godaime Hokage, wanting to see you."

"This……"

Yukiyo stared.

Not daring to delay, she got dressed and rushed to the Hokage's office building. The snow friend was still a little panicked. The last elevator was about to close in front of her. She ran over in a hurry. However, she was only a foot away when the elevator door closed. A seam remains.

Snow friends had no choice but to stand still and wait for the next elevator.

Then, the elevator opened again, and Shikamaru inside kindly extended his hand.

"thank you very much!"

She thanked her and hurried inside.

"You came here early in the morning. You must have been summoned by the Hokage, right?" Shikamaru asked with a hunch.

"how do you know?"

"It's true," Shikamaru said.

Seeing his nonchalant expression, Xueyou asked, "Are you the same?"

"Ah."

After getting out of the elevator, the two came to the Hokage's office together.

"Kakashi, please report to me. I already know that you are a member of the Uchiha clan. You have been anonymous for so many years. Thank you for your hard work."

"No, no..." Yukiyo said feeling guilty as he noticed Shikamaru's slightly surprised look beside him.

"But I came to you two, not for greetings, but because I have other things to say." Tsunade put her chin on her wrist and said very seriously: "Last night, Uchiha Sasuke, who is of the same clan as Yuki Yu, left After arriving at the village, we are almost sure to head to the Sound Ninja Village."

Hearing this, Shikamaru vaguely felt Sasuke's intention of leaving the village, but he didn't understand Sasuke. How could a normal genin defect to Konoha? So he immediately asked: "Left, why?"

Yukiyou remained silent, Tsunade glanced at her and said.

"Because I was deceived by Orochimaru."

When Orochimaru was mentioned, Tsunade's expression seemed to be that she had touched something hard to get rid of, and she was very unhappy.

"Wait a minute, please wait a minute, why was Sasuke deceived by such a dangerous guy?" The sudden situation made Shikamaru feel very strange.

"..."

It's for revenge.

Xueyou, whose expression became more and more profound, knew it well.

"Don't worry about why. Time is running out now. In short, I'm giving you the first mission as a chuunin. Yukiyo, as an Uchiha clan member, I hope you can assist Shikamaru." Tsunade said.

Although he had just let him go, the snow friend immediately replied: "No problem."

Although Shikamaru didn't understand the reason, he understood what Tsunade wanted him to do. He said, "Just bring Sasuke back?"

As long as there are no enemies, this is not a troublesome thing, let alone someone to help.

"Yes, this task is extremely urgent, and it may become very difficult."

"Eh?"

"Because Orochimaru's men may lead Sasuke." Yukiyo added on the side, "And his men are very strong. Many ninjas have learned from him during the Chunin Exam."

"However." The quick-thinking Shikamaru asked the question to the point: "For a mission of this level, a four-person team should only consist of jounin and chuunin, right?"

Tsunade breathed out: "This is impossible."

"what?"

Yukiyu and Shikamaru were both shocked.

"You also understand that now, except for those who stay in the village at least, all the jounin have been sent out to perform tasks." Her seat tilted, and the exposed half of her face showed fatigue.

"In this case...that is to say, except for Shikamaru and one chuunin, all the people in the team must be composed of genin, right?" Yukiyo asked.

"Yes."

In this case, it would be too difficult to handle...

Shikamaru gritted his teeth.

"Thirty minutes from now, gather as many outstanding genin as you can and leave the village immediately." Tsunade ordered.

"..."

"By the way, Tsunade-sama."

Xueyou was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"Who first discovered Sasuke leaving the village?"

At the beginning, only she should have known about it. If Kakashi or Konoha's guards had discovered it, they would have chased him long ago. Who could have known Sasuke's goal and discovered him so keenly, but yet Can't stop him?

"It's Sakura. She didn't persuade Sasuke to go back."

"..."

Sakura likes Sasuke, and even if she is not discerning, she can tell. It is probably hard to accept no matter what, letting the person you like leave you in front of your eyes and become a rebellious ninja.

Yukiyo wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. At the same time, Shikamaru raised his feet and walked towards the door. She had no choice but to bow to Tsunade and planned to chase Shikamaru.

"Although it's troublesome, after all, we are acquaintances, so we can't ignore it..." When he reached the door, Shikamaru stopped and turned back, smiling casually, he said: "Well, there must be a way to the mountain before the car. "

Tsunade smiled slowly and said, "There is someone I would like to recommend to you."

-

Naruto's residence

“What—you’re kidding!”

Seeing that Yuki friend Shikamaru had not even had time to be happy to visit him, something very shocking happened. When Naruto burst out in disbelief, Yuki friend knew that this guy would do this.

Shikamaru covered his ears with one hand, "This guy is so noisy so early in the morning."

Xue Youqian smiled and said: "It's normal to be shocked when you encounter something like this, right?"

"You're not."

"Eh?"

Sudden words.

Shikamaru pointed at her face and said: "This expression now is your shocked expression, right? In front of Tsunade-sama, you have always looked like a matter of course, as if you knew very well that this matter would come to this. For my sake.”

"..."

Unable to refute.

For this reason, there is no way to refute it.

"You are really good at discovering things from clues. Keep it up." Snow friend took a deep breath, pretended to be normal, and scratched his head with his hands.

Naruto reacted quickly. After learning the news, he went crazy for less than a minute. He threw Shikamaru and Yuki Yu at the door: "You guys wait for me, I will change my clothes right now!"

"The nightcap... fell to the floor."

Yukiyo picked up the hat he threw on the ground, leaned half into Naruto's house, and put his nightcap on the shoe cabinet on the left.

"Hey, aren't you afraid of him changing clothes in the living room?" Shikamaru stopped him, but it was already too late.

"No, Naruto will only change clothes in his room."

"Do you know him well?"

Shikamaru said, seeing Yukiyu's inexplicably confident look.

"Of course - no?"

It's like braking hard and then turning around.

Yukiyo was a little confused after saying that, yes, why did she look like she knew Naruto very well?

They have been teammates for a short time. Even though they are in the same class, they seldom communicate with each other and their seats are far apart.

why?

However, she had to think clearly why -

What stopped Yukiyou from continuing to think was the sound of Naruto's footsteps and the sound of the door closing in a hurry.

"Let's go!"

Seeing his anxious look, Xueyou focused on the overall situation and stopped thinking.

Running on the streets of Konoha Village, Naruto asked the two people: "So, besides me, among the outstanding guys, have you decided on any other candidates?"

"Ah."

Shikamaru and Yukitomo answered decisively.

"Shikamaru and I basically decided on the candidate on the way here...although he was probably the one who came up with it." Yukiyo said.

This guy's brain was too fast. When Yukiyo came up with a candidate, Shikamaru had already blurted it out.

"Oh oh oh! You guys are so good!"

Next, Yukiyu and Naruto saw Shikamaru using "the last potato chip" to force out Choji who was still sleeping.

"Chou and I have been working together as a team all year round, and he is the most comfortable to work with."

Recruiting teeth that you happen to meet while walking,

"Shino and his father are on a special mission and can't join, so-"

As well as meeting Neji and Xiao Li who had just recovered from a serious illness on the road, they finally decided on the formation of the team——

Shikamaru, Naruto, Choji, Kiba, Neji, and - Yukiyu.

"I have a question."

Yukitomo asked Shikamaru next to him when he was luring Choji with potato chips.

"what is the problem?"

"Inokacho, are there three of us, right? Why did you reject Ino when I first proposed it?"

Ah, it turns out she is still struggling with this matter.

Shikamaru replied: "Although the three of us can cooperate well, this chase battle is not necessarily a group battle. If it is one-on-one, if Ino joins, she will not be able to play a big role."

"That's it." Xueyou understood and nodded.

"And..." Shikamaru looked into the distance and said softly: "This kind of mission is very dangerous. We must find a reliable combat force that can both cooperate and fight alone."

Although Ino has grown a lot more than she expected, it is still far from enough to face this kind of task.

"You are very considerate of others." Xueyou said with a smile.

"cut."

Arriving at the main entrance of Konoha Village, Shikamaru called a halt together, "The time limit is up, and we finally found six people. Now let's formulate tactics."

"Shikamaru is showing off his chuunin power," Choji said.

Isn't that natural?

"They will basically prepare an ambush on the road, right? After all, Sasuke's departure from the village cannot be guaranteed, and he will be discovered sooner or later." Yukiyo said.

"According to the intelligence, there is a high possibility of being ambushed." Neji agreed with this statement.

"In short, since it is a rescue operation, we are the chasing party, which means that it is easy for the enemy to get the upper hand. Therefore, we must quickly respond to the enemy's attack. Next, I will formulate the formation. Let's say it first and ignore my orders. Act as you please——"

Shikamaru frowned. His words were short, but they were enough to make everyone present prepare. "We will all die."

Everyone's attitude was obviously correct. Shikamaru continued: "The lineup will advance in columns. First of all, the most important leading scout is Kiarai."

Ya was a little surprised. He never expected that he would take the lead. After all, there were stronger candidates in the team.

"That's it, Kiba. You have been walking with Akamaru all year round. You are very familiar with the terrain and geography of the Land of Fire, and you have a keen sense of smell. While pursuing Sasuke, you can also distinguish the enemy's scent and detect their traps as early as possible." Snow. Friends are responsible for additional explanations.

Yukiyo's explanation made Ya's expression soften a little.

"Yeah." Shikamaru continued: "In order to make up for the shortcomings of the front of the column being easily attacked from the front, you and Akamaru will double your efficiency together."

"The next step is me as the captain. Depending on the situation, I can give commands to my teeth in time, and I can also use gestures to command the team members behind me.

The third one is Naruto. Naruto has outstanding explosive power. He can quickly go to the rescue regardless of the front or rear, so it is suitable to be placed in the center of the team. You are the key to the rescue, and you also have a shadow clone. "

"The fourth one is me!" Yukiyo said, "I will cooperate with the cover and be responsible for conducting surprise attacks with Kiba, Shikamaru, and Naruto."

"Unfortunately, my friend Yuki just said that his flute was damaged and his most powerful skill cannot be used, so the fifth one - Choji, is left to you. Although his speed is not good, he is the most destructive one in the team. After the forerunner, I, Naruto, and Yukiyo make a surprise attack on the enemy, you give him a fatal blow. In short, you are responsible for chasing the poor bandits."

Next is the last one, "Finally, Neji, it's up to you. I want you to be responsible for the most difficult rear guard. You can always use your Byakugan to check the team's visual blind spots."

In fact, Shikamaru had decided on this position from the beginning. If he had not met Neji, his original intention was to let the snow friend with the Sharingan take responsibility. However, according to the snow friend's description, when the Sharingan is opened, it consumes a lot of physical energy and chakra. , easy to fall behind. Although the enemy's chakra can be seen, the capture range is not as wide as the Byakugan. It is better for Neji, who is older than them and has more experience, to do the job.

Yukiyo took advantage of Shikamaru's narration to draw a warning diagram on the side, and then handed it to him as soon as he finished speaking.

"Thanks." Shikamaru felt that with her on the side, it was not as troublesome as he thought.

No, maybe, not a trouble at all, but a powerful teammate.

In the forest of death in the second game of the chuunin exam, when she faced the sound ninja team alone, it can be seen that she has both courage and resourcefulness, but she still lacks combat experience, which is why she was defeated in the end.

Shikamaru opened the picture, Yukiyu handed him the pencil again, and he gestured to everyone: "Tooth and Akamaru are responsible for the front, and I am responsible for the front with a broader view. Naruto is on the left, Yukiyu is on the right, and Choji is responsible for the front with a wider view." , and then Neji, please use your Byakugan, and I’ll leave everything behind to you.”

"Also." Shikamaru said as he rolled up the picture: "I want to find out our general combat strength. Now take out all the ninja tools you each brought and let me check it. I will know better."

He put away the pen and paper and naturally stuffed it into the ninja bag on his waist, "Any questions?"

Xiao Li, who was standing aside, quietly marveled at his snow friend: "The team we just formed came up with the perfect formation so quickly!"

Yukiyo covered his mouth with his hands and responded in a low voice: "Yes, Shikamaru is really awesome!"

"Before I leave, let me make the most important thing clear. Sasuke is not a very good friend to me, and I don't like him that much. However, Sasuke is a ninja of Konoha like us and is our companion. , so we have to save him even if we risk our lives, this is what we do in Konoha." Shikamaru's eyes became more determined, "Moreover, even if I am afraid of trouble, but now your lives are all It’s in my hands.”

So, it means that I will definitely go all out.

Xueyou stood next to Xiao Li, looking at the teenagers in front of him, feeling very satisfied.

Kiba, who has always been conceited, smiled and said, "You're a little bit like a chuunin too!"

Dingci smiled and said nothing. He had always trusted Shikamaru and understood Shikamaru. He had grown up with Shikamaru and Ino.

"Then, let's go after everyone confirms the ninja tools." Neji said to everyone.

The snow friend stepped forward and took out the ninja tools with them.

Fortunately, she was wearing the clothes she usually wears for missions today, with a black lining, a dark purple long-sleeved jacket, and a ninja bag, a small weapons scroll, and a short knife around her waist. The lower body is a pleated skirt often worn by female ninjas in Konoha, and dark blue leggings underneath. The leg straps are wrapped around the shorts. There are ten thousand senbon and five shuriken hidden inside, and she just puts them in her coat. Playing the flute with two broken sections.

She revealed that her ninja tool bag contained four kunai, twenty special senbon with detonating talismans, twenty shurikens, and thirty detonating talismans.

"Yue Yu, have you ever been used to carrying so many ninja tools?" Naruto probed his head and glanced at Yu Yu's ninja tool bag.

He remembered that he only took many of them during the Chuunin Exams.

She doesn't seem to have the habit of carrying a lot of ninja tools.

"Because I don't know what will happen, I bring a little of everything I can use. There should be no occasion when I need it but can't bring anything out." Xueyou said with a bitter smile, "It's just that it's heavy, so you can't put it all in one place."

We can’t make Nakagawano’s mistakes again.

"What do you mean by not putting it in one place?" Ya asked.

The snow friend took out a small scroll from behind, "If you want to carry something heavier than yourself, naturally you have to use a scroll."

"Oh." It turned out to be this.

In fact, the number exceeded Tooth's expectations.

In full view of everyone, she pulled out five senbons from the soles of her feet, stood still and flew towards Naruto with her other foot, "Naruto, don't move!"

"What are you going to do-wow!"

Naruto was frightened by her flying kick and closed his eyes in cooperation, but of course she wouldn't do anything serious. After a second, he opened his eyes, and what he saw was a smiling face - and a close-up weapon. A blade as thin as paper is close at hand.

The blade is inserted into the tip of the snowboarder's shoe.

"This pair of shoes is specially made. Some of the mechanisms inside are at my disposal. Of course, this is not the only one for Dao and Qianbon."

Yukitomo retracted his feet, secretly admiring the shoes with "roots" on them while Naruto swallowed a gulp of saliva.

Although they are the same as ordinary ninja shoes, they have a hidden secret.

"You also have ninja tools hidden in your long sleeves, right?" Neji pointed out.

"That's right, although there are only a few light shurikens with detonating talismans... However, I only use the short sword behind me frequently. If you need a ninja tool, you can tell me." Yuki Yu said with a smile. .

How many coins——

With detonator——

Light shuriken——

Degree--

"Wait a minute, you haven't been back home since we left Tsunade-sama, do you mean you brought these with you?" Shikamaru asked with a frown.

"That's right."

Carry.

"..."

"..."

This woman must not be messed with.

You never know where she might pull out a ninja tool.

Everyone present was thinking the same thing at this moment.

Choji: I should ask my snow friends for advice on how to bring snacks another day.

After the snow friend showed off his ninja tool, everyone packed up their ninja tool bag in unison. Shikamaru said, "Okay, let's go."

Everyone was getting ready, and suddenly there was a call from behind.

"Wait a moment!"

The one who made the sound, the anxious pink-haired girl, walked towards them.

It's Sakura.

"Sakura?"

Naruto was a little surprised that she appeared here at this moment.

Shikamaru took a step forward and said: "My friend Yuki and I have heard about the situation from Hokage-sama. I'm sorry that I can't take you on this mission, because you haven't been able to convince Sasuke, right?"

"?"

What Naruto didn't expect was that Sakura had already met Sasuke.

"The only thing we can do now is convince him with brute force. Sakura, your appearance is over." Shikamaru said seriously.

Sakura lowered her head, listless.

Yes, you can't rely on her.

Although I was a little lucky to be able to intercept Sasuke just as he was leaving the village last night, there was no way I could stop him on my own.

Having said all that she could, Sakura thought about fighting Sasuke, but the disparity in strength between them was such that there was no chance of winning. If she called Naruto - even if it was Yuki Yu, would he not leave the village?

I won’t cry until I’m sobbing, I’ll just be sad alone.

Naruto asked: "So, Sakura, you have already met that guy Sasuke?"

Sakura was speechless and cried silently.

Yukiyo rummaged through his pockets. Ever since Saaki Aoga lived with her, he would always put a handkerchief in his pocket.

She remembered--found it.

Yukiyo quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to the crying Sakura.

"Yueyou...Naruto..."

Sakura tremblingly grabbed the hand that Yukiyu handed her the handkerchief, and said intermittently: "Please bring Sasuke... back."

"Please, bring Sasuke back...I can't do it alone. I can't keep Sasuke alone. He has become a human again..."

"Ugh."

Yukiyo sighed, letting Sakura's trembling hands clenched hers, took out the other hand, took out the handkerchief, and wiped away the tears on her face.

She said: "Don't be sad, Sakura. Sasuke is stubborn as hell. He won't look back until he hits the wall. Don't take it too seriously. He will definitely come back, I promise you."

Although it's not now, he will definitely come back.

"Naruto……"

Sakura looked at Naruto behind Yuki with tears in her eyes, "The only person who can bring Sasuke back and redeem Sasuke is you!"

Naruto seemed to be recalling something, and his expression gradually became calm, as if he hoped that Sakura could get comfort from it. He slowly raised the corners of his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and deliberately pretended to be relaxed, "Because of you, Sakura, I like Sasuke the most. I understand deeply how much pain and suffering Sakura is feeling inside now."

Naruto……

He pretended to be smiling, but he must have mixed feelings in his heart.

Yukiyo hugged Sakura's shoulders and started thinking.

Are defection and pursuit of power wrong for them?

They thought Sasuke's path was the wrong path, and that's why they felt so painful.

I……

Let Sasuke go. Is it wrong?

In the depressing atmosphere, Xueyou couldn't help but have questions.

Facing Naruto's reliable appearance, Sakura felt for a moment that she was forcing him to grow up, because Naruto had never shown such an expression in front of her. When they first formed a team, she even used harsh words to treat Naruto in front of Sasuke. People can't help but feel even more tortured.

But she.

can only be said.

"Naruto, thank you."

Such words.

Because of the rest, she couldn't do anything.

Before Sasuke left, he once said to her: They just chose different paths, each went his own way.

But Sakura feels that that path is one that no one understands or agrees with.

"I will definitely bring Sasuke back!"

Naruto laughed, gave a thumbs up, and said in a determined tone.

But who would have thought that after Naruto said these words, he would have been chasing Sasuke for a long time.

"Let's go!" Naruto was in high spirits and turned to leave first.

"It's a waste of time, let's go." Shikamaru also turned and left, and the rest of Neji, Kiba, and Choji followed the two of them one after another.

"..."

Snow friends are also planning to set off.

Sakura took her arm and asked the last question: "Yue Yu... Sasuke said before he left, 'Only when you see a wider sky can birds fly freely.' I don't understand what that means. ...I've thought about it for a long time...still...can't understand, Sasuke-kun..."

There were birds overhead that broke through the branches and flew past.

Xueyou was stunned. Her mind flashed back to the scene where she and Sasuke were sitting side by side on the pile of rocks.

this is not……

Her casual remark.

The snow friend followed the flight path of the birds above his head, as if chasing something important.

That sentence was probably the answer to my own doubts.

It's the answer you give yourself.

At the same time, it was also an answer that made Sakura extremely painful.

Yukiyu didn't intend to answer Sakura's question, but she said something else.

"Sakura, no matter what it is, you should not ask others to help you with important things, but master them through your own strength. You must also grow up and you cannot always rely on everyone."

Yukiyo put the handkerchief into Sakura's hand and spoke to her gently.

"Bye-Bye."

Yukiyo let go of Sakura, waved goodbye to Xiao Li at the door, and ran to chase the five people in front of him.

Sakura looked at her leaving figure uneasily, and then thought of Sasuke's departure. She couldn't help but twist her handkerchief with her hands and huddle up.

----

The night before defecting——

Sasuke prepared his luggage and walked alone on the road out of the village. It was such a heavy journey, but he actually felt a little relaxed.

“Only when they see a wider sky can birds fly freely. 』

What she said that day when he and his snow friend were sitting side by side on the pile of rocks.

Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar figure came from the darkness ahead.

He followed the sound——
