'Scratch scratch scratch'
"Oucchhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
I woke up earlier than usual despite the fact that i just had a life and death battle last night because someone or somebunny decided that it is okay to scratch my face not once, not twice but three times!
"What's your problem Carrot! Im dead tired right now. Can't you just let me sleep a little longer." I said.
But Carrot didn't budge and pawed me over and over again this time.
"Dais-sama, dais-sama! Wake up! Wake up!" She said.
I opened my eyes and frowned at her.
"What do you want Carrot!"
"Your hair's very long Dais-sama."
I blinked for about 5 seconds before i realized.
"Oh Sh*t!"
I immediately went to the bathroom and tried to find something that can cut my hair but unfortunately there are none.
"What to do! What to do! Any minute now mom would come to bring Kuromaru or to tell me if she has a mission for today! I need to cut this hair back to its original length."
I then had a great idea. I channeled chakra on my finger tips and let my nail grow longer. After that i proceeded to cut my hair then i flushed everything in to the sink. Once it was almost as long as my previous hair i took off my bandages to see what my wounds look like right now.
It certainly healed a lot and i can feel a lot more power coursing in my body. I can also feel that my chakra evolved again. I went and took a bath then i bandaged my chest again.
I wore a long sleeve mesh shirt and then wore a closed black sweater then i went outside the bathroom just in time to hear a knock on my door.
"Goodmorning Little Devil, i need to go for a meeting at the Hokage Tower today for a meeting. I'll leave Kuromaru with you today since something bad happened in the Hyuga Compound last night. This way you'll be more protected from any attacks. I cooked breakfast in the Kitchen and i left some Ryo's on the counter." She said.
"Nani? What happened mom?" I said while faking innocence.
"It seems that Hinata was almost abducted by a Kumo ninja last night. If not for the help of an unknown ninja the Kumo Nin would have been able to leave the borders before Hiashi can catch up to them."
"Is Hinata okay?" I said.
"Well i don't know yet. I'll try to ask Hiashi about that later. Just be careful when you go out okay." She said.
She walked out of my room while leaving Kuromaru.
If you're asking why i didn't visit Hinata right now it's because Hiashi might connect the dots if he sees me and sense my chakra.
My chakra right now is growing by the minute due to the Zenkai Boost.
I went to the Kitchen to have breakfast when Kuro sat beside me and sniffed me like i'm some kind of bag with a bomb in it. He looked at my eyes and stared for a full minute before he growled like an wife.
"Why do you smell like blood." He said.
I paled when he asked me the million dollar question. I tried to fake a smile and told him. "What are you talking about Kuro?"
"Don't dodge the question Inuzuka Daisuke! Why do you smell like blood." He said with a growl.
Okay since i can't hide something from Kuro since he is the best tracking Nin dog in all of Konoha, i went out clean at him. I narrated what happened and mixed lies with what really happened so that he won't chew me as hard as possible.
"Are you that DUMB! DAISUKE!" He growled loudly after i finished my story.
"What made you think that you could match a grown low jonin adult in combat! I thought that you were smarter than this! For Kami's sake, your only 4 years old Daisuke!" He angrily finished.
Fortunately Mom already left and Hana has already went out for some training. If not they would come running on my room to ask what is happening since Kuro is so loud right now, he sounds like naruto when he is announcing that he wants to become the hokage in the anime series.
"Well i won didn't i. Me and carrot have trained really really hard this past 5 months in secret. The reason i went out to confront the enemy nin was because i was confident that if i couldn't save Hinata, I'm fast enough to retreat safely with her." I lied to lightly appease Kuro's anger.
"You could have just told your mom, or any adult in Konoha. They could have done the same thing or even better than what you did to save Hinata." He said.
"Well will they listen to me if i told them 'Hey mom i heard the Kumo ninjas conversation and they want to kidnap Hinata'." I said.
"Sigh! You'll just reason out your way out of this right?!" Kuro said.
I nodded on his words while i added. "Well i know that what i did was reckless and dangerous Kuro. But i needed to do something. Hinata is my friend and she needed my help. Carrot and i learned many different thing while we were training in the forest. I'm a lot stronger now compared to when i just started running with you around the village." I said.
He sighed again for about the 5th time with our little conversation. He looked at me and stared right at me without talking for about 5 minutes. Then he said "Okay i will let you pass this time. Now take of your jacket and show me your wounds."
I quickly did what he said and showed him my wounds. They are a lot smaller now. The slash looks like a thin line of wound now and the stab wound is like a bullet hole now.
If Kuro saw my real injury last night he would have just Gatsuga me to unconsiousness and then he will proceed to carry me to Konoha's Hospital to have a lot of stitches and rest. But since he just saw the aftermath due to the help of my Semi Zenkai Boost, Kuro just growled at me and said in a whispher "Lucky little demon the enemy nin was a weak jonin."
"Okay, you are grounded for the week." Before i could protest that he is not my mom, he continued and said "or do you want me to chase you around town while trying to bite you with multiple bloody wounds for the rest of the month?"
I paled and nodded. But then i remembered something.
"Wait Kuro, i promised to meet with a friend today is it okay if i'm let off just for today. Please!!!" I said with a puppy eyes.
Kuro sighed again and said. "Okay! But tomorrow you and i are gonna have spar so i can see what improvements are you and carrot so proud about." He said with a devilishly aura emanating from his back.
I silently prayed for my life tomorrow while finishing my breakfast.
After that i went out with Kuro and met with Naruto. He was surprised that i brought a large dog and a cute little bunny.
When we entered Ichiraku, after i introduced Kuro and Carrot with Naruto, Ayame, and Teuchi. Carrot was suddenly snatched from my head by Ayame.
She cuddled and squealed while rubbing his face on Carrot's face.
Carrot was flashing her eyes at me asking for help.
'Poor Carrot' i thought.
But when Ayame hugged Carrot on her chest.
'Carrot's a girl! Carrot's a girl! She's not lucky she's in that position!' I thought.
Both Naruto and i enjoyed my last day of living today since i am scheduled to die under Kuro's hands, well paws in his case, tomorrow.
When the day ended i said my goodbye to Naruto and returned home quietly with Carrot and Kuro while watching the sunset far out in the Horizon seemingly saying goodbye with its warm embrace.
