Chapter 23 - Everyone’s day

"I'm so bored" complained Naruto as he laid on the floor in the hotel room

"Well if you want I could train you again, I've always wondered how much gravity you can handle now" said Hisui. This scared Naruto so much that he stood up straight

"Just kidding, I'm having so much fun. I'm going to go outside and explore for a little while" Naruto responded with a smile, running away

"How about you guys? Want me to train you during this month?" He asked. They all shook their head in fear

"I'll pass, I have somewhere to go" said Karin as she rushed out the room

"I think someone is calling me outside" Responded Haku while also running away

"I've got someone to meet" said Zabuza s he also left

"I guess it's just us three. Wanna do some spying on the ninjas?" He asked to Kimimaro and Shisui

"Sure sounds fun" answered Shisui

"if that is what you wish, then I shall follow it" replied Kimimaro

"Let's go then" he said

"No matter what, I will never go through that gravity torture again" mumbled Naruto to himself. He was walking toward his favorite place in Konoha, Ichiraku Ramen

"Oh Naruto your back" said teuchi the owner

"Of course, it's been 3 days since this month long break has started and I've been craving some ramen" Naruto replied

"Come sit down, do you want the usual?" Teuchi asked

"Yes please" Naruto answered. He then waited and he was delivered a nice bowl of miso soup ramen. "Thank you for the food" he mumbled then started devouring the ramen, in less than ten seconds it was all gone. "Seconds please" he said

"Coming right up" Teuchi answered. While he was eating an old man with long white hair, he entered the shop. Behind him was Hiruzen the third Hokage. They sat on the left side and right side of Naruto.

"Hello Naruto" said Hiruzen

"Oh it's you old man, I haven't seen you in years" said Naruto in a carefree attitude. Hiruzen is a little surprised but he nonetheless smiles.

"How have you been?" He asks

"Well I've been good, I have a family, a place I can call home, and I'm happy. Much more than I could say while I was here" he responded. That puts a frown on Hiruzen's face.

"Well guess who I brought, the man to your left was the master of your father" he said

"Hello young Naruto, my name is Jiraiya one of the three Sannin" Jiraiya said with a smile

"I know who you are, my godfather right? Well you're eight years too late. Also you Sannin aren't that strong, Orochimaru got beat by me when I didn't even activate 'that' power" Naruto says. His Bowl of ramen then comes and he starts drooling. After his thanks he start devouring it

"What Orochimaru was here? What happened? What power?" Asked Hiruzen

"Young Naruto I'm sorry I wasn't there, I didn't believe in myself in taking care of you, I blame myself for all that you went through" said Jiraiya

"Well I gotta go, see you later" said Naruto as he then Vanished in a bright light

"WAIT" they both shouted but it was too late.

"That jutsu, he mastered his jutsu" said Jiraiya in shock

"Orochimaru, so you're here?" Said Hiruzen in anger

"I'm sorry Hisui-sama, but I just can't go through that training again" says Karin in fear just remembering it. While walking around she saw two girls that looked familiar, walking up to them she said "Hello, I'm Karin Uzamaki".

"Ummm I'm Sakura Haruno, we fought remember?" Said Sakura in a bitter tone, after losing to one punch

"I'm Ino Yamanaka, my fight was right after yours" Ino replies

"Ooh I remember now, so what are you two doing" she ask them

"Well we're training, after the crushing loss we faced we want to get stronger" Sakura said

"That's nice" said Karin

"How did you get so strong?" Asked Ino

"Well Me and the others were all trained by Hisui-sama, it was torture" she shudderd

"Hisui? Who is that" asked Sakura

"Oh he is the leader of our country, The land of Nox. He goes by the name The king of Nox" answered Karin

"I've heard of him, the youngest ruler to ever live. There was even a myth that he conquered his country at the age of seven. He brought his group that had seven other members and saved the country and conquered it" said Ino

"Oh so you've heard of him. Yeah that was a pretty cool day" said Karin

"Wait so it's real, he actually conquered a country at seven years old?" Said Sakura with disbelief

"Yes, he did." Said Karin

"Wow that's insane. I want to become strong like him one day or at least you" said Ino

"I'm actually the weakest in the group, I'm the medical nin after all" she said

"WHAT, but you were so strong, how strong are the others?" Sakura asked

"It changes all the time, even now I don't know the ranking" Karin said "welp it was nice talking to you, don't give up on your dream and train hard" Karin said as she walked away

"I would rather avoid gravity training" said Haku as he walked around the village. He then saw a mask that caught his eye. He entered the shop in an attempt to buy it.

"Why hello there young lady, what would you like to buy?" Asked the shop owner

"I'm a boy" said Haku. This shocked the shop owner

"But you're so-, never mind. What would you like to buy" said the shop owner with a sigh

"That mask over there" said Haku while pointing to a white skull mask with red markings on the left side

"Oh this mask, it's a one of a kind mask, crafted an craved to be extremely durable" said the owner

"How much is the price" ask Haku

"Twenty thousand ryo" said the owner

"Here you go" said haku as he pulled out a bills worth twenty thousand

"Thank you for the purchase" said the owner as he handed the mask to Haku

"It's nothing, bye" said Haku as he left with the mask in his hand

"I'm here so what do you want" said Zabuza in a forest, as he stood in front of Anko

"I want to fight you" she says

"Why is that?" He asked

"To see how strong you are" she replied

"Oh is that so? Then come at me" he responded. She dashed toward him in an attempt to punch him, but before she could move his sword was already on her neck

'Fast' she thought to herself

"Are you satisfied?" He asked her

"I am" she said with a blush

"Why is your face like that?" He asked her with confusion on his face

"Your the first man who's caught my eye" she said while still blushing

"What?" Zabuza was still confused

"Sasuke,I'm going to teach you a jutsu, I want you to promise that you won't use it on allies" said Kakashi

"I promise" said Sasuke

"Can I learn it too?" Said Hisui who suddenly appeared, with kimimaro by his side and shisui behind him, wearing a mask

"It's you, The king of Nox" said Kakashi with anger thinking about Naruto

"Oh so you've heard of me? I'm actually kinda surprised, I found out that I'm famous" Hisui responded

"Why wouldn't you be, The man who conquered a country at the age of seven" said Kakashi. This shocks Sasuke greatly

'He conquered a country at seven years old? How powerful is he?" He thought

"Yes I did, fun times. Well I'm here to talk to Sasuke" Hisui said. Kakashi then put Sasuke behind him ready to fight Hisui

"You'll have to get through me first" said Kakashi with a kunai out

"I'm not here to fight, I'm just here to tell a story. The story of a man by the name of Itachi Uchiha" said Hisui
