Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: The Old Story

As Naruto and Ryōshi were running they started to see hokage's building so they started to walk to Naruto's disliking.

"Ryōshi why can we just run in there and get it over with?" Naruto asked.

"Because is rude to just barging out of nowhere Naruto." Ryōshi replied.

After the short conservation ended it went silent. But it wasn't awkward silence it was a comfortable kind of silence. And only thing that can be heard was there foot step on the wood floor. But a few minutes later they are at the door. But before Ryōshi could even knock on the door Naruto kicked opened the door.

"Hey Gramps you have mail!" Naruto yell.

*Sigh*'How many times I told him to not to kick open the doors?" Hiruzen asked himself hold the bridge of his nose.

"What mail Naruto?"

"Well Ryōshi has mail for you."

"Oh, hello Ryōshi it nice to properly meet you." Hiruzen kindly said.

"I-It's nice to meet you too Hokage-sama, I-I have a letter for you."

Ryōshi starts walks towards me to hand me the envelope that she had in her hand. But she sounds more nervous then just be shy. Is she is scared of talking to me?

"Thank you for the letter but who it from?" I smiled.

"Y-Your welcome Hokage-sama and it's from my a-aunt Nya Inua.

"You two can go now if you don't have anything else to give me. Sense I have paperwork to finish."

"Alright, lets going Ryōshi since it's still morning." Naruto said grabbing Ryōshi.

"N-Naruto you don't have to pull me you know! B-Bye Hokage-sama, sorry if we interrupted you!" Ryōshi said waving at me as she was being pulled out the office by Naruto.

When they left the office I just sighed and went back to do my paperwork. And thought how those two are going to be great friends.

"That's the end of the Naruto tour with your tour guide Naruto Uzumaki." He says with a goofy smile.

"Well thank you for the enjoyable tour Mr. Uzumaki." Ryōshi chuckled.

"Haha, your welc-"

Naruto was interrupted by a surprisingly loud growl from Naruto stomach. And not soon after there was a small growl for Ryōshi stomach. It's not surprising that they were hungry since they been going around the village.

"Ha o-oops, I didn't realize how hungry I was. Do you want to come to my house Naruto, my aunt wouldn't mind."

"Alrigth Ryōshi let get go I'm straving!" Naruto laughed.

"Ok ok lets go, but it's going to t-take a 20 minutes to get there." Ryōshi stated.

"So lets get going before it's take any longer." Naruto said run the away they came.

"N-Naruto your going the wrong way, it's this way!" Ryōshi shouted while point that the other direction.

"Oh uh I-I knew that, I was just trying trick you, I guess it didn't work." Naruto chuckled.

"You don't think I know where my own house is Naruto?"

"W-well uh, never that let's get going I'm curious about what's your house looks like."He replies and grabs Ryōshi hand while looking away from her out of embarrassment.

"Haha sure thing Naruto, lets get go."

"Thanks you for Ryōshi." I thought.

"Yeah, I-I can't believe it either. I only been here for 5 days and I still not u-used to it yet, but lets go insides it looks way better." Ryōshi replied.

"Alright let go I'm starving!" I said with excitement.

"Naruto wait someone is t-!"

"The was that Ryō-!"

Not a second later Naruto was hit by a door hard since Nya is very strong for her age, so that send Naruto farther than possible.

"Ryōshi I'm so glad your ok? I heard about the fire were you were at."

"N-Nya-sensei?"

"Yes Ryōshi what is?" Nya replied as she crouches down in front of her.

"You a-accidentally slam the door into my friend Naruto's face." Ryōshi said pointing at Naruto who was face first into a big rock.

"Oh ahah thats why the felt heavy. Are you ok Naruto dear." Nya asked.

"No it hurts...a lot." Naruto replied.

"O-oh god, I'm so sorry Naruto! I did mean to I swear, h-how about I give all the food you want as a apology? Nya said as went to pick up Naruto.

[Some time later]

"This is so good what is it, I never tasted it before!" Naruto yelled.

"Haha it call spicy red phoenix, because of how the colors matchs a phoenix and how spicy it is. I'm impressed on how well you are held up." Nya stated.

"What Aunt Nya told me there use to be a festival every year for the great phoenix called the Kōun'na festival." Ryōshi claim.

"Oooh please please tell about the great bird. Naruto ask with excitement.

Nya: The story is passed down in a certain blood line that is a part Ryōshi and me share. My grandfather told me the story, but I don't know how correct the story is since some things are altered in the course of time.

It starts from the end of the first ninja war. A person named Akarui Inua, he loved to study chakra, ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, and many other things that involve all of ninja history. During his travels there was a very harsh storm and Akarui was trying to find a cave to take shelter but on his way there he heard a child who was screaming for help over and over so he helped.

To his surprise it wasn't a child it was a baby bird who was under the nest. But without hesitation he carefully picked up the hatchling and ran. So enough Akarui finds a cave that is near a small river, he goes inside but when he tries to breathe his hands start to hurt where the hatchling was. Akarui quickly put down the bird to look at his hands, they were heavily burned. He looked at the baby bird and it was standing in front of him glow like a bond fire.

It said "Thank you, thank you for helping me and I'm sorry about your hands!" Akarui was very surprised to see a bird talk before, but it was right there in front of him."O-oh you're welcome and don't worry about it. But what are you, I've never seen a bird like you before?" He asked. "Well I'm a phoenix duh. Why so surprised?" "Well I never saw a bird such as yourself during my trav-."

"Traveling! Can I come with you human please?! The hatchling interrupted. Akarui was skeptical of bringing it but he had an idea. "You can come with me but I want to learn more about you. Are you ok with that?" "That's fine with me, let's go on an adventure!

"From that day forward they explored the land and ending up settled down back at that place they met."

"That is so cool, a talking bird that is made fire. I have to meet somehow!" Naruto shouted.

"Ahah, yea very cool. Oh look at the time is get late, you should go home before it getting dark Naruto there's school tomorrow." Nya Claimed.

*Sigh* "Ok see you tomorrow Ryōshi and good night." Naruto said sadly.

Before Naruto left Ryōshi hugs Naruto tight.

"Thank you for everything Naruto it really means a lot me, oh and good night to you too." Ryōshi smiled happily.

"No problem, see you tomorrow. Naruto reply by walking out the door.
