I'm the Prophesied Princess in Naruto?! (Book 1)

(Natalia's POV Continued)

What the heckerballs was Jiraiya doing here?

Panting, Jiraiya replied to me, "I received word... that you... were in a coma.. and-" He finally took a real breath and started speaking normally, "and I got here as soon as possible."

I blinked, "well uhh, I'm not anymore... how'd you get to the Leaf so fast? You're usually out doing "research" in some random village or something."

He closed the door behind him and walked in, "I was, but it was a nearby village so I received the Hokage's message within the hour. Your mother on the other hand, well, who knows how far away she is. I suspect we won't see her for another couple days, but we'll just have to wait for her."

I asked him, "my mom? She got a message too? Hold on, I'm really confused."

"Um I am too, who is he?" Sasuke asked me. Oh right..

"He's my godfather. The one who told me everything about my true identity." I answered and he made an "ohhh" face.

"He knows?!" Jiraiya asked incredulously.

I nodded, "I've been living with him, so I didn't want to lie all the time."

His eyes widened, "this is Sasuke? Fugaku's son?"

I instantly noticed how Sasuke flinched at that.

I body flickered behind Jiraiya and jumped up to smack him on the head.

"OW!" He rubbed the back of his head, "you really have been training here...and why'd you do that?"

I gestured for him to lower himself so I could whisper in his ear, and he did.

I cupped my hand to his ear, "Don't talk so lightly about his family. Don't even mention them. It hurts him right now. And it hurts me too, so please don't talk about them." He sighed and nodded, and I walked back to Sasuke.

I sat down beside him on the bed.

Jiraiya seated himself in a chair in front of the bed, "look, the Hokage sent messages to your mother and I about what has happened to you. He explained all that you've been through, and believes you should leave with your mother now." My eyes widened at this. "I know it's a couple months sooner than planned, but I believe you should too.. And I don't think you have much of a choice in the matter, because once she gets here, she will for sure take you with her, as she'll think it's unsafe for you here."

My eyes teared up and I looked at Sasuke. He looked down, as he was sad too.

I turned back to Jiraiya, "b-but I don't want to leave him alone." He gave me a sympathetic look.

Sasuke surprisingly intervened, "Natalia." I looked back at him. "You've never met your mom, you should be with her. I'll be fine... remember what you said, it doesn't matter how far we are, we'll think of each other and have each other in our hearts. Y-you're alive..that's all that matters to me." My eyes went wide and I gave him a tight hug. He returned it and rubbed my back.

"So you two boyfriend and girlfriend or something?" Jiraiya annoyingly asked. Of course he asked that.

"Yea." Sasuke answered easily for some reason.

I released the hug with a very confused face, "huh? We didn't discuss that."

He blushed, "oh, I thought it was official with the kiss.."

"OHO kiss, eh?" Jiraiya laughed, intrigued at our little dispute. I rolled my eyes and ignored him.

"That's not how it works. Remember, I'm not a fangirl so I'm not just gonna claim you out of nowhere, we have to explicitly confirm it." I explained maturely.
