Itsuki (POV)
I was back in my apartment hanging out with Akari.
Akari- I'm surprised your home made it out ok after the attack.
Itsuki- Even if didn't I probably would've just crashed at Kaito's place. His parents adore me.
Akari- I see, well if you ever need someplace to stay or you just want to sleepover, my door is always open.
Itsuki- Sweet, I'll keep that in mind.
Akari- I also wanted to thank for helping me these past couple of days. Things have only gotten worse for me. With the people accusing me of conspiring with orochimaru to people wanting me gone from the village and getting pushed and shoved everyday, it hurts both physically and mentally but you've always been there. I thank you.
Itsuki- Nah, it was nothing.
Akari- It's not nothing. You broke the guy's nose when started talking bad about me.
Itsuki- That wasn't me. It was my Shadow Clone. I didn't do anything. (Goofy smile)
She chuckles and gets up from the chair and comes up to me.
Akari- Thanks for having my back.
Itsuki- Always......I care about you y'know?
Akari- I care about you too.
She pulls me up from my bed and pulls me into a deep hug. This goes on for about a minute or two before we just look into each other's eyes.
Itsuki- Hey........
Akari- Hey.........
She slowly starts to lean in.
KNOCK!! KNOCK!!! KNOCK!!!
The banging on the door made us jump and we quickly separated. I answered the door to find Gin standing there with a toothy grin.
Itsuki- Hey what's good big bro?
Gin- I need you to pack some of your things because you and I and two others are going on a little journey.
Itsuki- But why? Where are we going?
Gin- I'll explain on the road now hurry up.
Akari- Who is this Itsuki?
Itsuki- (turns around) Uh Akari, this is Gin. Gin this is Akari.
They shake hands.
Itsuki- Gin here is the guy who trained me during the month of preparation. It turns out, he's an Uchiha like myself and Sasuke.
Gin- The Uchiha Scroll is a dead giveaway.
Itsuki- So Akari, I gotta head out. I'm going somewhere with Gin and I don't know when I'll be back.
Gin- A week or two max.
Itsuki- Well there you have it.
Akari- Well ok then. I'll see you first thing when you get back. Stay safe.
Itsuki- I will.
She gives me a quick hug and leaves. I pack up some stuff in a bag and head out with Gin. We get to the village gate and I see Naruto and some other man.
Naruto- Hey Itsuki! Over here!
We walk up to them.
Itsuki- So I'm assuming you're the other two who's coming?
Naruto- Yeah. The guy next to me is the pervy sage.

???- Would you cut that out Naruto. Sorry about that young man. I'm actually Jiraiya the toad sage. I'm one of the legendary Sannin.
Itsuki- So cool.
Gin- How's it going Jiraiya? It's been awhile.
Jiraiya- That it has and I'm doing fine by the way. You ready to find her?
Gin- Oh she's gonna be a pain.
Jiraiya- You may be able to convincing her since you are her best friend.
Gin- Yeah but I haven't seen her in years.
Itsuki- What are we talking about?
Gin- I'll explain it later when we're on our way.
Naruto- All right! Let's go!
He takes a step and doesn't move.
Itsuki- Did you really have to bring your whole room with you in that backpack? Kinda reminds me of a certain someone on the fairy tail story.
Indigo: Quit breaking the fourth wall!!!
Seth: And you leave Erza out of this!!
Itsuki: I'm not sorry.
So we had to wait for Naruto to go back home and unpack some stuff and when he came back, we finally this mystery girl.
Indigo: That's the end of this one. Sorry you guys for not uploading as much as I used too. These past weeks of work have been extra brutal. I'll try to do better. Later indigo fam. Peace.
