Konohagakure no sato :
Naka River :
Walking along the bank of the River , Naruto thinkss back to the defeated Gian , who was gazing the sky while lying down and others reaction towards him even Ino seems stunned and also keeping distance .
It's not Naruto's business really but looking at 11 year olds graduating after a year and becoming Hired killers , just brings bad taste in his mouth and
" Should have stopped after the First spar "
murmering along , Naruto walks along the river to look for the Iconic water-fall where stupidity ends and begins.
( it's really not your responsibility , if the kids live or die with that kind of mentality )
But the 4 kids and Gian's mentality towards shinobi career was really a wakeup call for Naruto , Kids worship Ninjas and don't really know about darkness behind .
( The powerful ones will protect their own while the fittest and luckier ones will survive )
Naruto was always practising day and night simply because of the fear . whether as Naruto the kid or him , even together the future is not certain , Sasuke is not really reliable and Naruto doesn't really wanna face Six path Sage .
" haaaaaaaaaaaaa Let's just do our best"
Naruto collects his thoughts as he gazes the small lake and the Iconic Waterfall
( Now the best place will be up there somewhere , I guess )
Naruto joggs around and approaches the uphill , moving up he suddenly comes face to face with a bear and then they both looked at each other , Even The ANBU following behind tensed up and ready themselves just in case.
" Roarrrrrrrrrrr"
The Bear roars and stands on two legs , Naruto takes a moment to run left side inside the forest , the bear purses the blond prey.
Moving along Naruto founds a suitable tree , he jumps and grabs the tree's branches left and right and directly climbs atop the tree and looks down.
The Bear following along gets confused at the disappeared pray , just when the bear decides to smell the prey , a Shuriken drops from above and hits the bear on top of his head .
*thud*
( what thick hide and skull )
Looking up and seeing the prey , The Brown Bear roars again and approaches the tree , the bear wraps his front paws around the tree and starts climbing .
( Got Ya )
Looking down Naruto smirks and then takes shurikens from his pouch and aims at The Bears Eye
" fuuuuu The first shot is the most important "
breathing out , Just when Naruto sees Bear in position with no branch under him or above he throws 3 shuriken , Because of the close distance and with Naruto's accuracy and power in the throw , 1 shuriken pierces the eye of the bear and the last 2 gets stuck in his head .
( The Bear moved but that's right even i close my eye and move my head becuse of some bug when On a bike )
from the 3 shuriken only one hits the eye , getting hurt the Bear felt enraged , it roars and starts climbing again.
" so you will not give up ......... we get along I guess "
Looking at the Bear getting to him , Naruto drops a Kunai while running sideways to the branch and jumps to the other tree , seeing this the Bear gets dumbfounded , Naruto throws a bunch of shuriken while thinking
( It's over )
The shurikens didn't aim at the bear but flies along and cuts some branches , the Bear suddenly felt tightened and bound by bunch of thin Ninja Wires and loses it's grip , falling downwards The Bear roars angrily at the sky .
" boom " * Thud *
Looking down at the ground and the not moving Bear bounded by Ninja wires Naruto reviews his plan
( The Bear is dangerous to get close with Kunai and his defense will make sure shurikens are just toothpicks and it's also strong , so that these normal Ninja wires will definetly snap in seconds )
That's why first create distance , make sure it's limbs are immobile and use the environment and Gravity for the finishing blow . Naruto looking downwards murmurs again
" hummm , I don't think it fell on that Kunai "
The kunai Naruto threw upside down at first was so when the bear falls , it fells on it but didn't seem to have worked
( not everything goes according to the plan I guess, Bears won't get easily damaged after fall but binding them and then throwing should work ? especially with that weight )
taking out his spare Kunai looks down to see The Bear stirring
" humm "
The Bear snaps the wire and wobbingly gets up on fours and looks at Naruto with his single eye , there are other shurikens sticking around his Body
" Roarrrrrr"
After roaring at him , The Brown bear stumbles , turns back and started moving away slowly
Looking at the bear moving slowly and going away , Naruto hardens his grip on Kunai then slowly loosens it
" Forget it , It's just a bear "
( I am here for Sign-in , this is his Home and it's not like The Bear is gonna go after my loved ones or other wuxia nonsense )
Moving along , Naruto goes back to his previous spot and reaches above and finally comes to the iconic Waterfall under the impressed eyes of ANBU.
" This is it , The Water fall "
( The view is amazing , no wonder Shisui chose this place before going blind )
Naruto breathes out and started to work
