Rejected Shinobi

Chapter 6 : Meeting The Crew

~Naruto P.O.V.~

I open the door to The Place and step inside. There was a staircase leading down, lit up by a few fairy lights. I step to the side and let my dogs in before closing the shed door. I begin to walk down the stairs, the only sound being my footsteps and the clicking of dog nails on the stone steps.

As we walk down the steps to The Place I begin to hear faint music and talking. I become more interested when I hear more than one voice. That must mean that the boy, Shoto, isn't the only one that comes here.

The talking becomes louder as we approach a door at the bottom of the staircase.

I opened the door and leapt into the room. "I'm back guys! And I brought company!" Six heads turned towards me and I gestured to the three dogs beside me.

"These are Katsu, Sho and Mio. I found them a few days ago and took them home. Doggies, these are my friend's. That's Shoto. You met him a couple days ago. He kind of lazy.

And next is Izumo. He likes to fight and train.

That's Haru. He's calm and is an amazing artist.

This is Fumito. He's amazing at singing and is really carefree.

He's Mitsu. Energetic and active are his personality traits.

And finally, Kaneto! He's a down to earth kinda guy."

I explained how they were all like me, hated by their village for no reason. The dogs seemed to like the crew, which was good so I left them to their own devices.

I went about my usual routine, played some games and trained a bit. It was hours before I finally decided to call it a night and left with the dogs following silently behind me.

I snuck into the village again, the dogs back in the modified backpack. Reaching my apartment, I closed the door softly behind me before letting the dogs out.

They stared at me with strange looks in their eyes before I left the room. I had a shower before getting changed into a shirt and pajama pants. Snuggling down into my duvet covers, I waited for the dogs to join me before falling asleep.
