Chapter 14
Naruto skipped into the house after dinner with the five, it was a very enjoyable time. He was glad that dinner wasn't so dull. "What rainbow did you eat?" Tsunade joked as she watched Naruto, slide into the kitchen. The boy always slides around on the polished wooden floors with his socks on. Somethings he would dive bomb for the ground and slide across the area, narrowly avoiding hitting walls or furnitures. Naruto beamed at her before turning to raid the fridge. "I'm going on a road trip with Itachi for the summer holidays." Naruto said, grinning, looking like he was holding back a squeal. He was bouncing up and down on the spot, every bit like a fanboy. Tsunade smiled at how excited Naruto was, however a tear still rolled down her cheek. Naruto gave her a sad smile, knowing exactly what she is thinking about. He was about to say something but she stopped him, wiping the tears away. "I know. I know. Don't say it."
It was now an unspoken rule. Naruto might not have much time left but there is absolutely no point mentioning it.
"Tadaima!"
"Welcome back ero-sennin." Naruto greeted, grinning at the white haired man. The older man put Naruto in a headlock, ruffling the untameable blond hair. "How dare you disrespect me gaki!" Jiraiya joked. "I have you know those are works of art!"
"Hey! I get credit too! You make me edit them and I even wrote some mini works that sells so much better than yours! Plus they don't contain all that smut!" Naruto declared proudly. Jiraiya playfully glared at Naruto and rubbed his head with his fist repeatedly. "Stop it! You're ruining my hair!"
"Well that's what you get for disrespecting such masterpieces!" Jiraiya said, grinning. Tsunade smiled at the antics of the two. The smiles, however, fell when Naruto started coughing violently. Jiraiya shifted his grip to steady Naruto as the boy cough into his own palms. Naruto removed his hands gingerly when he felt something wet, glancing at it subtly. Blood. Naruto hid the palm carefully from view. "I'm okay I'm okay." Naruto reassured the two worried guardians of his. Tsunade and Jiraiya looked at each other, worry gripping their being.
"Come. I'll help you pack for your trip." Tsunade offered, making her way up the stairs. Jiraiya and Naruto followed quietly. "I need the toilet, I'll be right back. You can start packing if you want." Naruto said and he walked away without waiting for a reply. Tsunade chewed on her lips, worry punching her in the face as she forced herself to move. She pulled out Naruto's duffle bag and began sorting out his clothing. Naruto had disappeared into the toilet to wash off the blood from his hand. He quickly scrubbed it away before rushing back out. Tsunade had laid out all the clothing that she thinks he might need, waiting for him to come back to approve. She was having a quiet conversation with Jiraiya, quickly and smoothly changing the subject when she spotted Naruto entering the room. Naruto started piling the clothes into the bag and all his necessities were piled on top. He bid the two of them goodnight as they said they were going to go to sleep.
"Did you remember to bring your medication?"
"For the 20th time, yes I did." Naruto said calmly, scrolling through his phone. Tsunade puffed her cheeks up, a habit of hers when she was worried or thinking hard. Naruto's hand dropped from hovering in front of his face, lowering his phone. "I will be okay Tsunade."
"What if it turns for the worse all of a sudden?! What if you collapse and no one is around?!"
"Itachi is always hovering around me if you haven't noticed." Naruto pointed it out, wincing slightly as he remembered what that meant. Itachi is going to hurt when he is gone. Better make some good memories for Itachi to remember before breaking it off. "Okay... okay... stay calm. You'll be fine." Tsunade muttered, mostly to herself as she paced the living room. Naruto stood. "Well, I'm leaving. I'll see you later Tsunade, Ero-sennin! You better stop perving on woman and take Tsunade out on a few nice dates!!!!" Naruto yelled out before he headed outside for his car. They decided to drive around japan, drive as far as possible before stopping to have a look or to stay for the night.
Naruto walked up to the front door of the Uchiha mansion. The door swung open before he could knock. "Hello Sasuke." the raven mumbled a hello back just as Itachi began pulling his bag out to load into Naruto's car. Sasuke realised with a jolt that Naruto called him by his name. He was about to point that out but Itachi and Naruto had already waved goodbye and sped off.
What the hell? There is definitely something wrong with Naruto... Why wouldn't you tell me Naruto?
