Chapter 64: CH 64
Naruto snorted, "That's because his dumb ass was the one who broke it. The seal is dependent on the will of the recipient, he wanted to use the seal, you don't. It's that simple. He got drunk off of the power boost and called upon it, you just want the damn thing off. The fact that your model is shoddy when compared to the others means that he can't slip subliminal messages through to you to influence you either."
Naruto turned to leave when Anko called out to him, "Wait gaki! How do you know so much about these seals? The Uchiha is the only person you knew that had one and he didn't know a thing about it."
Naruto turned back with a smile, "That is a secret. Some things should just stay buried in some instances Anko. You'll never find out why because only four people alive in this village know, and they aren't very talkative on the matter. One might be, but you have to narrow down who it is first. Later." Naruto then proceeded to shunshin out of the area, leaving Anko alone.
XxX Naruto slinked back into his apartment later that afternoon before flopping face first on his couch, much to the amusement of the Suna kids... who were still there. Kankuro snorted in laughter as he saw Naruto's disheveled form collapse on his couch, "Long day kid?"
Naruto rolled over and gave him a dry stare, "Why are you still here? It's been a week..." He picked himself up into a sitting position on the couch, "And where the hell are Gaara and Temari?"
Kankuro opened a bag of chips from Naruto's freshly purchased groceries and sat on another couch, "I don't know. Temari said she was going shopping and Gaara... left to go do Gaara stuff."
Naruto nodded as he was facing the TV before something clicked, "Wait, shopping? How can you shop without enough money to even get a place to stay?"
Kankuro was sweating bullets after Naruto noticed his mistake, "Uh, we finally got paid by your village for helping out with the retrieval mission?" 'Please buy it. Please buy it. Please buy it!'
A hard stare was kept on Kankuro for a moment before Naruto relented, "Fine, whatever. But if you bastards are going to keep staying here you're going to start paying for your own stuff. Why are you still here, answer me."
Kankuro crunched on a few chips and passed the bag to Naruto who readily took a few for himself, "It's one of the conditions of our treaty with your village. We must lend out a genin team to help with manpower issues, and we ended up being the selected team since we're already here anyway."
Naruto rolled the bag up and stood to head back towards the cabinet he remembered placing them in at first, "All right, you guys can stay here for as long as you like, the company isn't that bad and my roommate is cute, things could have been worse, all things considered."
Kankuro shook his head amusedly, "You starting to dig my sister Uzumaki? You'd better watch yourself kid, don't overstep yourself on this one."
