The Survivor {Naruto x Reader}

Chapter 9

"Listen Naruto; I'm sorry for acting weird today... I-I was just nervous I guess haha... I didn't get a lot of sleep yesterday, and it was probably affecting me. Everything will be back to normal tomorrow after a good night's sleep haha. Sorry if I was annoying or weird." I give him a genuine smile, and he lets out a breath of relief.

"That's all? That's great! I thought you were mad at me for something; I kept thinking what I could have done to anger you haha. I'm glad it's nothing serious! Tomorrow we reach our destination and if there is trouble, let's kick some butt!" We laugh at his declaration, and we walk back to our camp.

That night was much better than the one before it. I actually got some sleep, and everything was fine. Although, seeing Naruto next to me before I slept could have helped my relaxation. Kakashi didn't wait for long to make us move out and continue on with our mission. As soon as we woke up, we packed up, and we left.

We sped things up by running and jumping through the trees instead of walking. The faster we got there, the quicker we could solve the issue and send the report to Tsunade. She was very impressed the last time we finished our mission quick and clean. She might trust us more with big, important missions if she sees how good we actually are.

When we get there, I got confused... Kakashi says we arrived and we should keep our senses high and ready for anything. However, the location we are in... it's just a vast open land. It's like a carpet of grass was rolled out on it. I mean it was beautiful, but what are we doing here?

"A lot of people have said that they are spotting people in long black cloaks with red clouds on it. That description fits for the Akatsuki. If they are doing something here, we need to find it and put a stop to it!" Oh ok, that makes sense. One issue though!

"Who the hell are the Akasaki? Akasuki? Whatever they are called!?" I asked Kakashi. Sakura and Naruto giggled at the way I kept mispronouncing the group's name. "Akatsuki (Y/N). They are a group of nine members, all being missing-nin. They are going around causing problems in the name of world peace." World peace? How is that achieved by causing problems? "Well, those villages that the missing-nin belong to must feel troubled haha!" No one laughed... did I say something wrong?

"Uchiha Itachi is part of the Akatsuki, and he is from Konoha." Oh. You can always count on Sai to clear things up. "Sorry." I apologize since our village is involved, but now I have the urge to meet the Akatsuki so I can meet Itachi... I feel if I meet him, I'll be able to learn something. I wouldn't have gotten such an intense headache from his name if he didn't mean anything.

And that's when I sensed it! "Someone is here!" I warn everyone. As soon as everyone was ready, two people showed up. It was as the strangers described, long black cloaks with 'cute' red clouds on them. I had to add the cute, I mean they just look so fluffy!!

The two that showed up are a girl and a boy. The girl had short lavender hair with a rose bun? Ok... and she had bright amber eyes, they were almost scary to look at. The boy had spiky orange hair and brown eyes. However, he had weird black things all over his face. On his nose, and ears and even under his lower lip. That's a new sense of fashion... he would look so much better without all those piercings.

"Hatake Kakashi. Of course, you're the one to find us." Eh? They know him? "Pain. What are you planning this time?" Serious Kakashi? So much cooler than perverted Kakashi! I look at everyone and see how serious they are, even Naruto...

"There's no need for you to know. If you turn around and leave, things will be just fine." As if we're going to do that. Time to take care of this. "Hey, you! Piercings guy! I know a bad guy when I see one, and I can practically sense you from all the way over there. So how about you just turn around, get on your knees and put your hands behind your head and just surrender. Now THAT way! Things will be just fine!" I throw back his own words back to him.

"(Y-Y/N)! What do you think you're doing?" Sakura yells at me. "I'm telling him to surrender? They are the ones we are after right?" The atmosphere somehow got a bit heavier. "Heh. This is a new face." My face? Well, I know exactly what he means, but let's tease him a bit. Let's see if he has a sense of humor. "This face?" I touch my own face, "I don't think it's new; I've been wearing it for about fifteen years now." My answer left Mister piercings stunned and the Origami girl shocked. Mission accomplished.

I can see in the corner of my eye Kakashi face palming himself. Hehe, their expressions were worth it. Although what I didn't expect is the fly? I'm not flying! Mister Piercings is using some type of Jutsu to pull me towards him! I'm pulled directly into his hand! His hand was around my neck!

Ok. So he doesn't have a sense of humor!

"(Y/N)!!" I hear Naruto yell out my name. Even though his grip was not suffocating, it still hurt! I glare up at him, and his face has no emotions shown. "You seem to be a jokester. Do you think you're funny? You should read the situation better." Oh, boohoo. "Hah. It's not my fault you can't take a joke." My answer stunned him again. "You're different. I like you. Join us, and I'll spare you and your team." As if! "Over my dead body!" I manage to grunt out. He did not seem to like my answer.

A shuriken flies by his face. "Let her go!" Naruto screams again. I'm guessing it was his shuriken. He was about to answer when Origami girl came close and whispered to him, "it's been found. We don't need to stay." What did they find? What are they looking for?

The next thing I know my butt hits the ground and air is flowing through my throat again. *Cough* *cough*!! I look up to see them, but they were gone... how... did they do that?! "(Y/N)!!" Naruto runs to my side, "are you ok? Did he hurt you?" He helps me stand up and I assure him. "I'm ok. No, he just held me up. I swear, he has no sense of humor!" Naruto chuckles at my attitude. "Maybe you shouldn't talk to the enemy like that." 

We look around for a while to make sure we didn't miss anything. We meet up again and discuss what we found; which was nothing. Kakashi asks Sai to write the report and send it with an ink bird to the Hokage. That way we can take our time going back.

Then I realize something. It's too quiet, that shouldn't be possible. I look around and that's when it hit me.

"Guys... where's Naruto?"
