Chapter 5
Hotaru P. O. V
I woke up with so much pain and soreness which made me sigh, I started trying to get up and saw Naruto sleeping on the floor which made me smile.
I decided to go and take a shower to see if the pain would stop for a bit and so I could think.
- Kurama?
- Please don't give me the silent treatment... I couldn't hurt her.
- WHY NOT?! SHE TRIED TO KILL YOU!
- I'm sorry... I just couldn't. I won't do it again Kurama... I promise.
He sighed.
- Fine brat!
I smiled.
- Thank you Kurama.
I was done and went to the kitchen to eat something.
- Good morning sweetheart.
- Good morning, you're up early. Something wrong? - I said.
Otou-san came towards me and hugged me which made me wince in pain since I'm really sored.
- Sorry. Otou-san said.
- It's okay.
- I'm sorry I wasn't there to stop her. - Otou-san said sad.
- You did stop her Otou-san, don't worry about it. I'm fine now.
- Why didn't you fought back or defend yourself? - Otou-san asked me.
- You taught us not to kill our team mates. - I stated.
- Well... at least one of you paid attention. - Otou-san said.
I smiled.
- Don't go away again.
- Otou-san... you know I can't promise something like that, but I'll try.
He sighed.
- Fine. Go wake Naruto up so we can have breakfast. - Otou-san said. - Hai!
I went to my room and saw him there, still on the floor.
I smiled.
- Naruto wake up. - I said quietly.
nothing.
- Nii-san... wake up. - I said a bit louder.
nothing..
I smiled evilly.
- Naruto... Kakashi-sensei is eating all your ramen.
- NO!!! - he screamed and immediately got up and went to the kitchen.
- KAKASHI-SENSEI!!!! WHERE'S MY RAMEN?! GIVE IT BACK!!!
- Huh? - Otou-san said.
I burst out laughing but winced in pain.
- Don't make me laugh, it hurts. - I said.
- What did you do Hotaru? - Otou-san asked lifting an eyebrow.
- I tried to wake him up, but he wouldn't so... I told him you were eating all his ramen.
He sweat dropped.
- Nee-chan don't do that again!!! - Naruto said pouting.
- Gomen. - I said poking his forehead.
I like this... just like we're a complete family, well a dysfunctional one... but that's okay!
*Meanwhile at the Hokage's Office*
Hotaru P. O. V
All the jounins and their teams were there.
- You are all here to know the truth so you know the situation. - Tsunade said.
- Are you okay? - Shikamaru asked me.
- I'm alive aren't I? Don't worry and thank you for yesterday, you too Kiba... thank you. - I said.
They nodded. Sakura was looking at me with anger.
- Sakura... do you need anything? - I asked coldly.
- What do you mean? - she asked with an evil voice.
- Stop looking at me with those angry eyes of yours. If you have something to say then say it. - I said.
- STOP! Tsunade said.
Otou-san putted a hand on my shoulder to try calm me down.
- Hotaru... how are you feeling? - Tsunade asked me.
- Sored and in pain, nothing to worry about. - I asked calmly.
By the corner of my eye I saw Sakura smirk.
- Very well, start from the beginning so that the others understand and know why you did what you did. - Tsunade told me and I nodded.
- After Naruto left to train with Jiraiya I went away to train for 3 years as well.
Sakura smirked and said.
- Great training.
Which made me smirk as well.
- It was indeed... I trained with the Akatsuki for 3 years.
The ones who didn't know widened their eyes including Sakura.
- Not so funny now right... Sakura? In order not to become a member I made a deal. - I continued.
- W-What deal... Nee-chan?
- I would go spy Orochimaru for 3 months.
- So that's why you went with him that day? - Yamato asked.
- Yes, the only way for him to let me be with him for that time was if I went to train with him. Unfortunately you guys were there as well which made me act in a cold hearted way, besides I was your best shot to find Sasuke and find out what he plans to do.
- Y-You talked to him?! - Sakura asked surprised.
- She doesn't have to answer you after what you did to her! - Kiba snapped at her.
- Kiba, it's okay... yes I did. We trained together actually.
- How strong is he now? - Otou-san asked.
- He's almost as strong as me. I answered.
They widened their eyes except.
- Yeah right! You didn't even dodge my punches and kicks. - Sakura said.
- Sakura that's... - Naruto started but I interrupted him.
- I let you do all of that. Do you think I would go to Orochimaru if I was weak?! I remind you that I was trained by the 3 Sannins and by S-rank criminals. Do you really think I'm weak?!

She glared.
- Tsunade-sama, I said everything I needed to. Sakura... I want a rematch and if any of you here want to see it come to the training ground where the survival test was held. And Sakura... be ready. - I said.
I teleported there and so did everyone.
- Revenge? You're not one of those kid, why now?
- I just want to show her how good we are, that's all.
- Hotaru are you sure? - Kiba asked.
- Positive, don't worry. - I said with a smile.
- We have to stop them! - Naruto said.
- No. - Shikamaru and Otou-san said in unison.
- Aren't you going to attack? - Sakura asked.
- I told you yesterday... I don't attack my team mates or worse... kill. But go on, show me what you got. - I said calmly.
She ran towards me and started attacking but... I dodge every single attack. I became really good at dodging thanks to Deidara since my training with him was... well... *Flashback*
- So what are you going to teach me? - I asked Deidara.
- Dodging quickly, hn.
- Okay...
Suddenly he threw a bomb at me and I barely dodged.
- WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!
Deidara laughed.
- You have to dodge those bombs I throw at you, hn.
- WHAT?!
Suddenly he threw even more bombs.
- H-HEY! W-WAIT! HAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! DON'T THROW SO MANY!
- Dodge or you will die, hn.
- YOU BASTARD!!!
- I dodged and dodged until my legs gave up and I stared panting hard, in that exact moment he threw another bomb... DAMN IT! HOW WILL I DODGE THAT ONE?!
The bomb never came, I looked up and.
- I-Itachi, hn. - Deidara said nervous.
I sighed in relieve.
-You're supposed to train her, not kill her. - Itachi said coldly.
- Look at the bright side she survived and dodged every single bomb, hn!
I narrowed my eyes at him.... I teleported to him and punched him.
- YOU FREAK! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME WITH THAT STUPID THING THAT YOU CALL ART!!!
- WHAT DID YOU SAY, HN?!
- ARE YOU DEAF?! DO YOU HAVE CLAY IN YOUR FUCKING EARS?!
We glared at each other.
*End of Flashback*
I sweat dropped thinking of that moment.
Sakura was now panting.
- Tired? I asked her.
- I'M NOT DONE!
Just a heads up: FindNovel.net is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!
She continue punching and kicking but I still dodged all the attacks.
- Just finish this brat... it's boring.
I smirked at his statement.
I was now with my back against a tree and she came towards me to punch me, but I reappeared behind her and putted my sword against her neck.
- You forgot that I've marked you in the chunnin exams... as you can see I could've win easily yesterday. Sakura... think before you act. You are a shinobi, so think like one. - I said and put down my sword.
- I forgive you though. I get it... so I'm not mad, just hurt... you know... because yesterday you beat the crap out of me!!! Get it?! - I said smiling and everybody sweat dropped.
- Why? - she asked quietly.
- Huh? I said confused.
- WHY DIDN'T YOU BEAT ME UP IF YOU'RE STRONGER THAN ME?!
I poked her forehead and smiled.
- You might be annoying and all but... we're team mates... we're friends. - I said.
Everyone was surprised and shocked.
- SMILE! You guys look like dead people! We're fine... I'm fine so CHEER UP! - I said putting a hand on her shoulder and smiled.
- I'm sorry. Sakura said quietly.
- Don't worry about it. Now... LET'S EAT!!! I said.
- RAMEN!!! - Naruto said excited.
Otou-san sighed but then said.
- Fine.
- YAY!!! OTOU-SAN YOU PAY!!! - I said and he smiled at me.
With that we all went to Ichiraku's to eat.
After that I went with Tsunade to her office so we could talk privately.
- What is it now Hotaru? - Tsunade asked.
- Well... you see...
- Just spill it out.
- I'm going to team up with Sasuke in a few days, but I'll still be available for missions here. He's almost ready. - I said and she got serious.
- Also... I think I found a way to fulfill Itachi's wish regarding his brother's sight.
Then I explained her.
- Remarkable... that actually will work.
- Good it took me 3 months to actually understand it. Regarding me going with Sasuke... just leave everyone out of it, they don't need to know. When the time comes just tell them you had a mission for me, I'll send a letter to the Kazekage so he knows about this.
- Very well Hotaru... I trust you. You can go now and spend the rest of the day with everyone.
- Thank you Tsunade-sama.
After I left I sent a letter to Itachi and another one to Gaara.
The rest of the day was just chilling out with everyone and enjoy the moment because in some days I'll go away... again... this is becoming a vicious cycle!
- Stop thinking brat!
- Why is that?
- I can see fume getting out of your ears and nose from so much thinking.
- SHUT UP FOXY!
He smirked.
- Thank you though.
Well... let's just wait and see what will happen from now on.
