Chapter 74: CH 74
The dark-skinned girl was about to draw her sword when the Kumo blonde walked closer to Naruto and stayed her from attacking with a movement of her hand, "Karui, Omoi, calm down." She looked the foreigner up and down, "You have a very short fuse do you know that?"
Naruto gave her a dry look, "I'm getting the third-degree from people I don't know, telling me that I'm doing something that I'm not. And they won't leave me alone, of course I have a temper, you're all pissing me off." He shrugged, "I do actually want to train, but there's no way a foreign ninja here on a diplomatic mission is going to be able to get permission to use the training fields for no good reason. I guess I subconsciously carried myself here, I was just wandering around."
Omoi pulled a sucker out of seemingly nowhere and put it in his mouth, "What kind of diplomatic mission would a Konoha ninja be carrying out here?"
Naruto shrugged, "How should I know? I'm just the muscle, the rest of my team are with the guy we're protecting."
This brought the lifting of a dainty eyebrow from Samui, "So you're a ninja sent here on a diplomatic mission from Konoha that just so happened to be let go from the rest of your group. That sounds somewhat familiar doesn't it?" Naruto let off a sweat-drop. It did sound familiar, because that was basically what Kumo tried to pull on Konoha years ago when they came to negotiate a treaty. One of the diplomats attempted to obtain the Byakugan for their village by kidnapping Hinata in the middle of the night. It was the story that Neji told during the chunin exams, and it almost resorted in another war when Konoha was still weak from the Kyuubi attack that had taken place three years prior.
'Do they really think this is some kind of revenge espionage kick?' Naruto really just wanted to knock them all out and go about his business, but that would probably make things worse before it made them better, "What do I have to do to make you all leave me alone? Seriously, I'm going to get in trouble if I stay here for too long without checking in." Omoi scratched his head and looked at his two female teammates, "Maybe we should let the kid go. I mean look at him, he doesn't seem dangerous at all, that scar is a nice touch, but he doesn't look like he can cause any kind of ruckus by himself, even if he was lying."
Naruto resisted the urge to roll his eyes, 'Gaara's smaller than me and nobody says that shit about him. Everybody's on pins and needles around him... why am I so short?'
Karui walked around Naruto, taking in his appearance, "Just because he can't be anything more than a genin doesn't mean anything. Look at him and his gear, you don't just carry a sword around unless you're pretty good at using it, it doesn't work like that. I can see some outlines of scars on his body through his shirt too, he's dangerous alright." Samui spoke up, "Maybe we should take him in just in case." The two others shrugged in agreement and Samui nodded as to confirm their plan of action.
Naruto sucked his teeth, this was not what he needed to happen. One day in a foreign village that Konoha wasn't on the best terms with and he already found himself in what could be a mess. It wasn't his fault damn it! He didn't do anything!
"What are you all doing?"
