Naruko Uzumaki: Believe it! {Book 1}

C-Rank Mission part 4

Nobody's pov

Sakura yawned and stretched while on the side she's mastered the tree climbing training so Kakashi told her to watch over Tazuna. "Are you always this Lazy" he said while walking up to her "Where's the weird blonde kid the one with the attitude." "oh!" She said sitting up "Their training."  "Too tough for you" he asked "Oh no actually I'm the best at it Kakashi told me to watch over you so." Sakura said proudly Tazuna looked at her "You're joking" Sakura got mad at that comment "Hey Tazuna" a man said walking up to him "What is it?" Tazuna asked turning to him "Listen I've been thinking about the bridge and I don't wanna he apart of it anymore" "What?! Your quitting on me!" Tazuna said yelling at the man "Look we're putting out lives on the line building this bridge everyday. Gato and his men are gonna show up eventually and kill you might as well leave this alive" the man said shrugging "No chance, our land is poor and it will stay poor if we don't connect this bridge to the mainland" Tazuna said Angrily "it's already noon let's go have lunch" he said walking away "oh and don't bother coming back after" Sakura was shocked about what she just witnessed but kept her mouth shut
Later in the afternoon
Naruko gasped while staring at the tree of marks she's left "Why is it so difficult?!" She yelled in her head stomping her foot on the ground. She glanced at Sasuke marks which were higher than her's leaving her even more stressed. She got up and started focusing her chakra to her feet she then ran to the tree and tried to get up as high as she can but dialed and fell on the ground "Damn it!" She growled   But she got up and continued to climb the tree
Back with Sakura
Her and Tazuna were on their way to their the grocery store. She looked around horrified at all the kids on the street "This place is horrible." She thought to herself "Welp we made it" Tazuna said going into the store. Sakura started looking around the store the shelf's we're mostly empty "This is a store? Theirs barley anything here" she thought to herself . A man walked behind her and looked at her purse. He grinned and reached for it suddenly Sakura turned around and kicked him in the face "YOU PERVERT!" She screamed. The man fell on the ground bleeding. When Tazuna was done with his shopping they left "Wow, you really surprised me back there." He said looking at Sakura "Girls around here don't fight like that." "They should something seriously is wrong her" she said angrily. She felt a hand tug on her dress and she turned around angrily. A little kid was their behind her Sakura looked at her. The little girl held out her hand "Please!" She said giggling Sakura reached into her purse and pulled out some candy and handed it to her "Here" the little girls eye lit up and she said "Thank you" and walked off "This is how it's been since gato got here" Tazuna spoke up Sakura whipped a tear away "The children suffer and the adults are to afraid to stand up to him, they've lost all hope that's why we have to finish the bridge"  Tazuna then started waking away. Sakura started looking up at the sky "Naruko Sasuke... we have to help them!"
With Naruko and Sasuke
Naruko and Sasuke started panting while looking up at both their tree marks. They both got up and started running up their trees Naruko fell and made a mark in her tree. Naruko looked up at her tree in desperation and looked over at Sasuke he was still running "How is he still going?!" She said to herself angrily. He than fell and quickly made a mark in his tree "Damn she's catching up to me inch by inch" Sasuke thought angrily while landing on the ground. Naruko growled and shook her head and focused on her tree "Don't worry about that emo worry about your task" she thought She started to censor herself and think about the tip Sakura gave her. She concentrated deeply at what she told her "Ok Chakra requires spiritual energy...so if I get all anxious and frantic it won't work...I have to relax and focus on the tree relax and focus on the tree" I could feel the chakra coming from my feet "Ok I got this!" I said while running to the tree before I could step my foot on there..."Naruko." Sasuke said making me lose my focus and concentration and fall on the ground "Sasuke are you kidding me Dattebayo!" I yelled sitting up and glaring at him. He scratched the back of his neck "Well. Uh, the thing is..." "The thing is what?!" I said crossing my arms "He never talks to me...What is this emo planning" Sasuke looked at her uncomfortably "Well Sakura gave you advice when she was here...Would mind sharing it with me" Naruko looked at him shocked but immediately went to a foxy grin "Oh is duckbutt spying on me now~" She said smirking big She could've sworn Sasuke turned red but he looked away and said N-No that's not w-what I meant! I-I just tell me the advice!" He stammered Naruko laughed uncontrollably but immediately stopped for how Sasuke was glaring at her "Ok ok I'll tell you" she said she began telling him about the advice
Back at the house
"This is amazing we've never had so many guests around our table before" Tazuna said happily. Naruko and Sasuke we're digging into their bowls because they were having a contest about who can eat the most food "More please!" They both yelled and glared at each other. Then puked on the floor "Don't eat so much if your going to puke it up!" Sakura yelled. Sasuke looked up "I have to eat" Naruko looked up too "And I have to eat more than him" Naruko said "It's the only possible way I'll get strong enough to beat him." "That's true" Kakashi said nodding his head "But puking won't help you." Later the dishes were put up and they were all drinking tea. Sakura was looking at a picture on the wall the right side of it was torn hiding a face of a man that was in it "This picture is torn in their a reason for that" Sakura asked "Inari you kept glancing at it all dinner" Inari Tanuza and Tsunami stopped what they were doing. Kakashi looked up "He was my husband" Tsunami said quietly "They used to call him a hero in this land" Tazuna said Inari got up from his chair and walked to his room "Inari where are you going-" but before tsunami could finish her slammed the door she ran to his room and opened the door and looked back "Father, you can't talk about him like that in front of Inari, you know that!" She said before going in and shutting the door. Everyone sat at the table quietly "Inari... what happened to him?" Sakura asked "There is a story behind all this" Tazuna said looking up "He wasn't his real father he came into our family a little later but he bought so much happiness." Tazuna started "Him and Inari were very close." He started shaking and we all looked at him in shock "And then it all ended he never laughs or smiles anymore, Ever since that day everything changed."
