Chapter 22

A While Later - Anna's POV

"ANNA!"

I groan as I feel a crashing weight on me and I whimper quietly since I'm still not fully ok yet.

"She's alive!" The voice yells relieved and I sense the chakra after a moment and its Naruto on top of me.

I just hmpf and turn my head away making him cry.

"I'm sorry!" He cries hugging me.

I roll my eyes ignoring him.

"Anna, are you ok?" Sakura asks me worried.

"No, I have an idiot on me. I'm sore, my back aches and I'm not fully ok from the blow I received earlier." I say to her annoyed.

"Naruto, off, now. She's still in some pain." Sakura says to him and he gets off and I sense him grab my hand worry coming off him in waves.

I sit up with a little trouble but Naruto helps me up and I sigh. "Your mission? How did it go?" I ask and Sakura sighs.

"We brought Sora back to replace both you and Sai, just to finish the mission, and we can't even do that now either." Sakura says to me and I nod slightly.

"I see." I say and my stomach growls and I sweat drop. "I haven't eaten anything today." I say and Naruto gasps.

"We have to go get Ramen then!" Naruto says to me and Sakura sighs.

"Ramen sounds ok, I'm not sure I'll be able to leave yet though." I say to him with a sweat drop.

"Lady Tsunade says that if your fine, then get out." Sakura says to me and I laugh.

Sakura and Naruto help me off the bed and I put my ninja sandals on, grabbing my pouches and attach them as Sakura walks with me out the door with Naruto in front of us.

"Can we go see Sai real quick?" I ask.

"Sure." Sakura says to me with a bright warmness around her.

"No." Naruto says in a pouting mood.

I get confused. "What is the definite answer?" I ask.

"Yes/No." They both say at the same time.

I sigh and put my hands in my pockets and I wander aimlessly down the hall as the two fight.

I find Sai's room and I knock before entering.

"Hey Sai, you alright?" I ask him and I sense a warmness about him.

"I'll be fine, its just a broken arm." Sai says to me and I smile.

"That's good, at least you weren't impaled." I say to him and he laughs lightly.

"What happened to you?" Sai asks me.

"Oh you know, nearly get blow up, then attacked by my Moms Ex, he nearly kills me with a sword to my back, and if it wasn't for one of my Jutsu's, I would have died." I say and he hums.

"What were you doing?" Sai asks me and I smile nervously as I scratch The cheek that isn't injured, lightly.

"I have the right to refuse that question, I already told Sensei what happened in enough detail to determine what the fuck is supposed to happen next." I say to him and Sai hums.

"That's fine then, so, why are you here and not in a bed?" Sai asks me and I cross my arms over my chest.

"Sakura and Naruto are fighting, they were gonna take me out to lunch and then I asked if we could check up on you and Naruto was hungry so they had different opinions and are probably still fighting down the hall somewhere." I say and Sai chuckles.

"Yeah, they love each other don't they?" Sai asks me and I shake my head.

"No, Naruto loves her, she loves Sasuke, I love no one and Sasuke loves, who knows who, haven't been in touch all that much ever since he left, so, I can only assume he's a cold hearted bitch that I have to bring home for Sakura, of course, if I get injured again, that'll be hard." I say and Sai hums.

"I need to get some rest." Sai says to me and I nod.

"Then rest well Sai." I say to him and I turn around and I feel my way out of the room and I walk down the halls and to the outside door.

"Are you aloud out?" Shikamaru asks behind me and I sweat drop.

"I swear, you hate me don't you? You always catch me in here with some sort of injury." I say to Shikamaru who sighs.

"Your so trouble some Anna." Shikamaru says to me and I roll my eyes.

"Yes, I'm aloud out, I'm gonna go get food, I haven't eaten anything today so I'm starving, and I need to eat to stay healthy, probably why I got injured in the first place, because I don't have a healthy eating schedule diet thing." I say and Shikamaru chuckles.

"So troublesome, come on, you look like you need some support to Ichiraku's." Shikamaru says to me and I roll my eyes.

"I'll be fine, you should be trying to stop Naruto and Sakura's fight before it gets out of hand." I say and Shikamaru just shrugs and I roll my eyes annoyed.

Yeah I told him about my sight a while ago, after I saved his ass, he helps me now an then if I have no idea where I'm going and he just asks me simple questions if he's curious.

"I'm already heading to Ichiraku's to meet up with Ino and Choji, so stop being stubborn." Shikamaru says to me and I just roll my eyes, getting really tired of standing here.

"Fine." I say annoyed and I can tell he's smirking slightly and I end up putting my hand on his shoulder and we head to Ichiraku's.

"Is this a thing?" Ino asks me and Shikamaru.

"No, I got injured in the back so now I'm sore and Shikamaru decided, whatever goes through his head, I have no idea, Sakura and Naruto were originally coming with me, but they got in a fight and are probably still fighting." I say to her and I sense her shrug and I head inside. "Ayame, can I have my usual." I ask as I sit down.

"Sure Anna." Ayame says to me with a warmness around her.

Choji sits next to me and he orders with a warmness and I sense Ino and Shikamaru sit on the other side of him.

After I finish eating, I end up on a stairwell in the village and I sense Kiba, Akamaru, Naruto and Sora fighting, and Shikamaru and Asuma walk up behind me.

I sigh and just sit down on the stairs while the others do as they please.

I enjoy the breeze as it passes by.

"Anna!" Naruto cries latching onto me and I wince, but I just ignore him.

"She doesn't want to talk to you, you idiot." Sora says to him annoyed.

"I don't want to talk to either of you." I say as I slip out of Naruto's grasp and I walk down the stairs.

"I said I was sorry." Naruto says to me sulking and I roll my eyes.

"You left her to fend for herself at the hospital Naruto." Shikamaru reminds him and I sense him freeze before I dodge the idiot coming for me.

I hear him crash to the bottom and I jog down the stairs and I skip over him and I head back into town with my hands in my pockets.

"Anna!" I hear Sora yell.

I ignore him as I duck a sign. I head through the streets and I dodge people consistently.

"Is that her?" A woman asks someone quietly and they hum.

The woman confronts me and I just dodge her as well.

"Hey girl, you know a guy named Karma?" She asks me.

"I have no idea what your talking about, I've never done anything wrong to receive a punch from Karma." I say to her with a shrug.

"Smartass, I mean the dude." She says to me.

"That motherfucker? He can screw himself to hell." I say and I continue walking.

"Well I want to kill him." She says to me.

"Don't dare it, he's mine to kill." I say to her in a low tone.

"What? What do you have against him?" She asks me confused.

"None of your business, now, I have to go see my Hokage about my own problem." I say to her and I flicker from there to in front of the Hokage office and I just walk in.

"Would you please knock?" Tsunade asks me annoyed and I just shrug. "So, are you fine now?" Tsunade asks me.

"I'm fine for the most part, if I can walk then I'm fine." I say to her and she hums.

"Good." Tsunade says to me. "Now, as for what happened, Kakashi told me what happened, so your free to head home." Tsunade says to me and I nod.

I head home and I fumble with my key for a moment.

I open the door and head inside and a deathly silence goes through the place for no reason, at least, I hope no reason.

I suddenly get very worried and I get out of there because my gut says no. I close and lock the door and I head to a training grounds where I stretch for a few moments.

Just push through the pain, no matter how much it hurts.

I train for a while before I teleport to Fox Canyon and I sit in Legacy's den.

"Are you ok?" Legacy asks sniffing me over.

"Mostly, though that guy, Karma, he got stronger than he was when Mother fought him." I say and I sense shock from Legacy.

"He's back?" Legacy asks and starts to really sniff me.

"I'm alright, Tsunade healed my injury." I say to her as I pet her head.

"If you say so." Legacy says to me worried as I pet her.

We head to Mint and she nearly tackles me but I stay firm.

"Are you ok?" Mint asks me worried.

"I'm fine." I say to her with a smile as I pet her as well and I sit down with her next to me. "Guys, I need you two to do something." I say to Legacy and Mint who hum.

"What is it?" Mint asks me worried.

"We need to move Fox Canyon, Karma knows where it is and so does Deidara and his new partner Tobi. Karma was able to get up after I punched him full force, with chakra in my fists and Tobi has a strong chakra, it sounds ridiculous, but I don't want to take any chances." I say to them in a serious tone.

"MOVE?" Legacy and Mint bark at me.

I sigh and get up. "Yeah, I knew it was too ridiculous, I'm just gonna lay more traps and reinforce the barrier, maybe get more vegetation on the sidelines of the canyon and on the inside." I say as I start pacing and thinking of ways to reinforce something that I've reinforced a dozen times.

"You seriously thought moving would be a good idea?" Mint asks me and I bite my finger nail.

"Anna, you've reinforced that barrier a dozen times, nothing can get in or out." Legacy says to me and I frown.

"That's the problem, if someone manages to find a crack in the barrier, then how are you and the rest of the foxes supposed to get out? Elder can't fight, she's too fragile, your getting older Legacy and Mint along with a few others are only able to protect you guys for so long, there's also a lot of kits and older foxes, you don't have escape routes out of the canyon." I say to her as I pace.

"We don't need escape routes, we'll be fine." Mint says to me comfortingly.

I pet her head, while shaking mine. "I'm not taking any chances Mint, I know you guys are so used to doing as you please, but, I know my enemies better than anyone, because they are my enemies." I say to her with a small sigh.

"Would you stop this ridiculous folly Anna? Your worrying too much, we're gonna be fine." Legacy says to me annoyed as she bites my hand.

I sigh and pet her head and she let's go and I just use my flickering jutsu to teleport to my apartment.

I walk inside and I disarm whoever is in my apartment in a matter of seconds and I pin them to the ground, furious.
