Island's Love
Intro chapter
"How the heck do we pair these pairs together?" Tsunade asked exasperatedly. Tsunade was tired of the ninjas' denying. It was time to spice some things up.
Gai struck his pose and said, "We give them the lecture of youth! It would do them so much good." And he cried chibi tears. The other jounins shook their heads at Gai's behavior. He needed help.
Badly.
"We give them a cigarette?" Asuma asked as he smoked.
"Gosh Asuma," Kurenai said, "They are too young to smoke. They're only fifteen, for god's sake!"
"How about we give them each a copy of Icha Icha Paradise?" Kakashi asked, hoping that he would get a free copy too.
A vein popped in that lovely head of Kurenai. She said quite calmly, "Honestly, Kakashi. Tell me. Where do you spend the money you get from missions?"
Kakashi smiled at her through his mask. "On my lovely books, of course. But you are lovelier than my books." Kakashi winked at Kurenai. Kurenai felt her cheeks burning. None of the other people in the room noticed her, though.
"Your plan, Kurenai?" Tsunade asked lazily.
Kurenai cleared her throat. "Here's my plan. We trap the couples in an island."
"How?" Gai asked while scratching his head, "Give them the power of youth?"
Kurenai shook her head. She cleared her throat again. This time, it caught Kakashi's attention that was directed to his book. Kurenai said, "We give them a free trip to an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with only a single hotel with a few rooms in it. I use my genjutsu and make the place look like a beautiful butterfly garden. We leave them there until a month. We will face the consequences until then. Oh and yeah! We leave a note and tell them that they have a rooming arrangement. To make sure they don't disobey it, we use ninjutsu and it will not let any other person go inside their room other than their roommates. We have to monitor their behavior, right? We need to, so we put hidden cameras and watch them from here. I also know of a girl that can match Gaara's hardheadedness with her cheerfulness. Her name is Nakamura Yuriko. She is the exact opposite of Gaara. But opposites attract, don't they?"
"So we are going to a butterfly shop in the middle of the Pacific Ocean that suddenly popped out of nowhere?" Sakura asked as though the idea was absurd. "Isn't it one absurd idea, Kakashi-sensei? And how do you know about this butterfly shop?"
Kakashi sweat dropped. "Isn't it fun? My Hinata-chan and I are going to have fun. Right, Sakura-chan?" Naruto said cheerfully. Naruto and Hinata were officially in a relationship and Sakura agreed that Naruto treat her as his very dear friend.
"Yes Naruto-chan." Sakura replied.
"You really love each other, do you?" Kakashi commented.
"Yes!" Naruto piped, "I love Sakura-chan! She's a very dear friend to me!" Sakura rolled her eyes at Naruto's childish behavior. But she appreciated it all the same.
"Since when did you Naruto treat you his dearest and why?" Kakashi asked politely. He emphasized the word 'dearest' to let them know his meaning.
Sakura laughed. "Oh yeah." She replied, "It was the other day at the park. Naruto and I saw each other and we talked. We talked and talked about our life. Naruto was a single person with no best friends and I don't have a best guy friend so blah and blah and you know what happened."
Naruto pouted at Sakura. "Why didn't you call me 'Naruto-chan'? I thought we'd call each other that way, Sakura-chan."
Sakura sighed. Naruto can be such a pain. "Alright then, Naruto-chan." She sighed, "Are we going then?" Naruto nodded. "How about you, Uchiha-san?" Sakura asked politely.
Sakura had been a lot formal around Sasuke lately.
So damn formal. Sasuke didn't like it. But he liked the part when Sakura didn't chase him anymore. Sasuke nodded coldly. "Why won't I?" He growled. Sakura and Naruto giggled. "What the heck are you giggling about?"
"We are giggling about you, Uchiha-san." Sakura replied.
"Sakura-chan and I know that you hate being formal." Naruto added.
"So what?" Sasuke growled.
The Boat…
All the teams have decided that they go to the butterfly shop in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Even the sand siblings decided to go.
"Ano sa, Ano sa," Naruto said excitedly like a child in a zoo, "Sakura-chan, when do I get my ramen?"
Sakura sighed. "Naruto-chan, can't you stop eating ramen?"
Naruto shook his head. "Nope. So Sakura-chan, when do I get my ramen?"
Sakura sighed again. "Go to the kitchen. Open the third cupboard from the left and the fourth from the bottom. Then the next is heaven." Naruto bounced happily and dragged a blushing Hinata to the kitchen. Sakura sighed for the millionth time.
"Sakura-chan," Ino said, "Since when did you and Naruto treat each other like best friends?" So Sakura retold the story she told to Kakashi.
"Only friendly love." Tenten said.
"So you love each other as best friends, right?" Temari asked.
"Uh yeah." Sakura replied. She was getting nervous of this conversation. "Is there something wrong?"
"No!" Ino said. "It's right! Naruto and you should treat each other as best friends. It'll make his and your life happier."
"What are the other guys doing?" Temari asked. They looked at the guys in the room. All the guys were there except for Naruto who was currently in heaven.
Sasuke, Neji, and Gaara were glaring at each other as if their lives depended on it. Shino was looking at the sea quietly. Kiba held a barfing Akamaru. Kankuro was playing with his puppets. Chouji was eating his chips. Shikamaru was looking bored as usual. Lee was giving the speech of youth.
Suddenly, a girl climbed aboard. She had braided waist-long black hair. Everybody was looking at her (yep, even Gaara, Neji, and Sasuke). The girl was wearing a netted shirt underneath a green tank top. She was wearing a pair of pants under a plain skirt, which was flowing with the wind. It was an inch or two above her legs. She had both her arms wrapped in bandages. Mystery girl was looking at them with her cheery bottle green eyes. "Hey!" She said, "I'm Nakamura Yuriko." She bowed at them.
Everybody was shocked to see her there. That was the time when Naruto and Hinata chose to walk to the deck. They looked at the shocked people. They noticed that a dark haired girl was the center of attention.
"Hey there! I'm Yuriko." The girl said.
"Hey!" Naruto replied. He saw the girl's eyes widen slightly.
Yuriko said, "You look exactly like my brother who died in a mission. You look like Hideaki-nii-chan!"
For Naruto, this girl looked like no trouble for him. He even felt a little calm with her. Like she was his sister. "Then you can treat me as your older brother! Nobody would mind."
Yuriko was in a chibi form and blushing in those oval blushing thingies in her face. "I finally got a brother!" She cheered.
"In fact, you could treat us as your brothers and sisters!" Naruto said.
"Except Sasuke and Gaara, though. They won't like it." Temari said. So Naruto introduced everybody in the boat.
"Temari-nee-chan, why do you have a large, large fan on your back?" Yukiko asked in her chibi form again.
"It's a weapon." Temari replied. Yuriko's eyes widened.
"Oh." She said.
"You're a kunoichi, right?" Sakura asked as she pushed a stray strand of hair in her face.
Yuriko shook her head profusely. She said, "No, no. I'm not a kunoichi. I'm an assassin." All the girls looked sharply at her.
"You're an assassin?" Tenten asked.
A worried expression crossed Yuriko's face. "Yes. Is there anything wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing, nothing's wrong." Tenten said hastily.
"H-h-how come you're an assassin?" Hinata asked.
Yuriko was not in her chibi self and explained a few stuff. "Do you know what the Nakamura clan is famous for?"
"For assassinations, of course." Sakura muttered.
Yuriko nodded her head. "All the members of the Nakamura clan are assassins. We are allies of Konoha. We kill Sound Ninjas that attack the village. Our clan has a bloodline limit. But the whole clan was almost wiped out by a disease. My father, brother, and I were the lone survivors. Hideaki-nii-chan was a good brother to me while my father treated us as trash. My father eventually died of the disease and Hideaki-nii-chan taught me assassination. He was ordered to be killed by the Kazekage of Suna. I don't hold any grudges against Sand shinobis and people though."
"W-w-what bloodline limit does your clan have?" Hinata asked timidly.
Yuriko smiled at her. "We have the power to control elements. Our clan believes that four dragons guide our clan, which is true. The silent blue water dragon, the four-eyed land dragon, the seven-tailed wind dragon, and the fiery red fire dragon. Those four dragons were sealed inside Nakamura family members. Mother got the water dragon, which was the weakest of the dragons. Father got the land dragon, which was stronger than the water dragon but weaker than both wind and fire dragon. Hideaki-nii-chan was the one sealed with the red dragon, which was the second strongest and the wind dragon was sealed inside me. It was said that the wind dragon was the strongest of all the dragons. We also have a custom. When a family member with the dragon sealed inside him/her dies, the dragon goes to another family member. Since my father and mother and brother died, I have all the dragons inside of me. They are hard to restrain sometimes but I'm used to it."
The others looked unbelievingly at Yuriko as if expecting someone to shout 'April Fools'.
But no one did.
Yuriko sighed. Besides, who would believe her story even if it's true? She raised her hand and closed her eyes. Wind accumulated in her raised hand. The wind stopped. "Now, do you believe me?" She asked. The others looked more unbelievingly at her and she sighed again. She removed the bandages on her left hand and showed them a sign. It was a diamond with tear-shaped thingies on its four sides. She covered it with bandages again. "Do you believe me now?" The others nodded a little.
"That is the Nakamura clan's symbol." Temari muttered.
Yuriko returned to her chibi self and said, "I'm hungry!"
Naruto became his chibi self too and added, "Yeah! Ramen, ramen, ramen!" The other girls sighed.
"Do you like ramen?" Chibi Naruto asked chibi Yuriko.
"A little bit. I like miso." Chibi Yuriko replied.
"We are the same!"
"So troublesome…" The other girls quoted Shikamaru.
The Deck; After Dinner…
"I'm so bored." Naruto said.
"I'm bored too, Naruto-nii-chan." Yuriko added.
"I know!" Sakura said brightly, "Let's play truth or dare!" The others agreed and they sat in a circle.
"Me first." Naruto said. "Kiba, truth or dare?"
Kiba puffed his chest and replied, "Dare."
I'll teach you a new technique. Hand seals are bird, ram, monkey, hare, and horse. After doing those hand seals, shout, "Suspense no jutsu!"A/N: First chappy done. This is the intro chapter so it is supposed to be boring. I promise that the next chapters will be not be so boring. In case you don't know, Yuriko is the youngest among all the shinobis. Ciao!
