The Forsaken
(Don’t read the spoiler unless you’ve read chapter 320 of Naruto or you’ll ruin it for yourself.)
Spoiler:
Just finished up with most recent chapter and I was wondering what you guys thought of it. Actually, I found it to be quite funny, especially with the whole “Huuuuuuuungry…” part with Naruto. The baka looked funny with his head on the table, mumbling ramen over and over (funny and cute… Er… Yeah… Naruto fan…). Anyways, I think Kakashi is going to reveal something to Naruto about his (Naruto) past, why else would he put off the training. It wouldn’t be for a new jutsu (Naruto’s already learning one), and it’s not something about Sasuke (no point in that, Kakashi doesn’t know anything new about the Uchiha). Nor would he take off his mask (he said “tell” before saying “show”, and sorry rabid Kakashi fans). Anyways, I think it will either be something about Naruto’s heritage or the genin’s childhood (i.e. as a baby). Yeah… so that’s all. I’d like to hear your thoughts too, though.
The Trouble with Names
Leading his new friend into the stall, Naruto began to the people to introduce them to Nachi who politely greeted each of them. The other blond, who Naruto introduced as Ino seemed to be half interested in him but quick mumbled something about “her Sasuke-kun…” which Naruto’s Sakura-chan happened to hear it and turned around to start an argument. After identifying these two, Naruto pointed to one of the two shinobi at the end of the counter.
“And that’s… um… that’s…”
As the waterfall shinobi tried to respond, he was cut of by the number one ninja at surprising people.
“Wait!!!!!!!!!!!! I know you’re name!!!!!!!! No! Give me time, I beat I can get it!!!!! You’re… you’re… Matsumaru! Am I right, huh? Huh?”
“No you baka! Just shut up already! They’re from Waterfall country,” Ino shouted exasperatedly at the hyperactive thirteen-year-old over Sakura’s rant, which got him going on another spiel.
“Waterfall? Really? What’s it like there? Can you show me any really cool jutsus? That would be awesome! My name’s Naruto, what’s yours? I beat you’re really strong! How ‘bout we train together later? We can meet on the…”
The sound of the blonde’s voice faded out as Nachi’s attention drifted elsewhere; to the boy he thought he knew. A name came to mind, one remembered from the chunnin exams: Shio. He had been the only other Konoha ninja outside of the Team 5 group to make it into the finals, and his opponent for the first fight had been Nachi. If it was possible for Nachi to recall who the other was, then what stopped the other boy from naming him, let alone reporting him? No doubt there was a bounty upon Nachi’s head. The Uchiha clan would have made sure that, had he returned, it would mean his death. The bastard son of their blood was supposed to stay a secret as to preserve their arrogant pride. Nachi’s temper flared up at the though of the family he had never been a part of.
‘No… I have to calm down or the seals will break. I promised Yoshi-sensei I would keep the demon from hurting others. I will not go back on my word. The Houkou must not escape; I must keep my emotions under control.’
–FLASHBACK–
“Just remember, boy. This seal is not as strong as the one the Forth used on the Kyuubi. I don’t have the strength, nor do I possess the knowledge of how to perform such a feat. So do not underestimate the Houkou. Should you lose control of your feelings, it will escape. And no matter what, do not listen to its lies.
……………
I’m almost finished, but listen. When everything is done, remove your arm from the trunk and run as fast as you can; no matter how much it hurts, you must run. I cannot guarantee that the others will spare your life. They will see you as the demon itself and will not heed your words.
……………
This is goodbye, Nachi. Once I activate the seal, you’ll be on your own.”
–END FLASHBACK–
Returning the calm he had maintained before, the boy could feel eyes upon him. Realizing that the other nukenin (I’m guessing that’s what Shio is, seeing as he left with out orders) was looking at him, Nachi met his gaze and used some hand signals that most ninjas are required to know in order communicate in silence. He didn’t fear the others seeing, as their attention was on Naruto, but he made it as quick as possible. Four letters, one word: Shio.
(Sorry about that Dark, I couldn’t remember how old your character was but thanks for playing along with me. I’ll also take this time to apologize for stealing Silent Dream’s characters a couple of times, briefly.
And yes, in the flashback scene, Nachi hand his hand stuck in a tree. The Houkou is a tree dwelling spirit that looks like a white dog with five tails. It controls the five elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Lightening, and Wind. Basically, Yoshi and Nachi trapped it in the tree trunk, and Nachi (as Yoshi had to perform the jutsu) was forced to become the container for the Houkou. So now you understand his relationship with his demon, as it varies from the Naruto/Kyuubi relationship.
QUINCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -over reacts and glomps him because of sugar high-)
