I felt like the world was suddenly standing still, only to continue spinning at a breakneck pace a moment later. Naruto next to me hopped up and down and grinned wider than before, Sakura also smiled broadly, if not as broadly as the blonde. Kakashi-sensei threw a questioning look at the Hokage, even Sasuke didn't look that disinterested anymore. Vulona was also very surprised to see the scene.
Just somehow I didn't know how to feel.
Happy because the Hokage seemed to trust me?
Afraid because I might run into Akatsuki?
Worried about standing in the way?
I nervously fiddled with my, uh, Naruto's shirt. Sensei seemed to have caught himself again, because he asked rather soberly: "What is the mission about?" "It is a C-rank mission that -..." "JUHUUUU!" With these words, Naruto mutated completely into a rubber ball and hopped through the relatively small office, fleetingly thanking the Gondaime "Thank you, Grandma." and still came to a stop at me, still hopping. Tsunade had interrupted her sentence and waited until The uzumaki had calmed down again. Then she finished her sentence. “It's still quite easy.” The blonde bobbed his feet impatiently. "You are to escort the daughter of an important feudal lord back into the realm of the rice fields. As I said, actually nothing difficult, but still be on your guard. All right, you can meet her at the main gate in an hour. You can go."
We weren't halfway out the door when the Hokage grabbed a vessel, which I identified as a sake bottle, and took a strong pull from it. Shizune, Hokage-sama's assistant, closed the door behind us and we stood in the hallway. But only for a second because the Chaos Ninja slapped his forehead with his hand. "Kari-chan, come on, we have to hurry up." And then I was pulled along again. Shortly after us, the others set off too.
Naruto dragged me back into his apartment and ran straight into the bedroom. It was clear to him how happy he was. I followed him carefully.
In the bedroom he was busy putting his ninja equipment in his backpack. When he saw me he looked up. "Duhuu ... could you pack some of my stuff in your backpack? Nothing fits in with mmir." Embarrassed, he pointed to his full bag. I nodded absently.
I quickly got the bag from under the bed where I had placed it last night. I remembered last night and I blushed. Without a word, I handed my teammate my own backpack. Only after he had stowed the rest of his luggage in it did he ask: "It occurs to me that you have no equipment or anything." I nodded slightly.
Naruto glanced at the clock and said: "There's no time to buy clothes, you will probably have to wear a little more from me.But maybe we'll make it to the blacksmith for a moment. "Without waiting for an answer, he slung the two full backpacks over his shoulders and we left the building.
When we got to Konoha's gate 10 minutes later, just on time, I was the proud owner of a handful of Shuriken, a couple of Kunais and 20 letter bombs. Kakashi-sensei came to us after another 10 minutes, accompanied by a blonde girl.
"Hi, so this is Princess Rin, the daughter of the feudal lord. Well, we have dawdled enough, we should go slowly." To everyone's surprise, Naruto did not respond to Kakashi's words, he was too busy staring at the princess. This in turn only gave him a disparaging look. Your interest was in Sasuke. She ignored me and Sakura at first. Maybe it was rash, but I didn't like the person.
Finally we made our way towards the land of rice fields. The whole time Rin tried to flirt with Sasuke. Sakura didn't like that at all and complained to the blonde. The object of desire deliberately ignored the catfight, just as the sensei did. Naruto tried by all means to get Rin's attention. Me and Onee-san watched the whole thing from a safe distance, under no circumstances did we want to get into the line of fire. After a while, I turned my back on what was happening and thought about my own thoughts. Again, images emerged from my dream. What if it wasn't my place to be a yumi? What if my parents were right? What if akatsuki was right too? I can only be used as a weapon. I'm so different from Naruto. Naruto ...
What is wrong with me?
"You're in love."
Wah, Onee-sama ...
"As always, your thoughts are an open book to me."
But I ... anyway ... I'm not in love ... what does it mean to be in love anyway?
"Yes, only you can know what it means for you."
Mh ...
Our mental conversation went unnoticed, I thought, but Kakashi had been watching us closely the whole time. He had quietly activated his Sharingan and overheard our conversation. As Onee-sama said, my thoughts were easy to grasp. Sensei now knew my dream, after all, I had pondered it long enough. Fortunately, I didn't know he knew him, otherwise I would have been terribly embarrassed.
"Hey, Rin. What do you like to do? I like to eat noodle soup, is there a good stand in the land of rice fields? Shall we go out to eat together?" "No, little one," answered the princess from above and tried to Sasuke again impress. Your admirer was disappointed.
I couldn't believe anyone could be so mean. I felt for Naruto and it hurt to see him like that. Also, I wished to be in Rins' place.
Was Onee-san right? Did i really fall in love?
