The leader set a knife on fire before he threw it with precision at a red wooden circle 7 feet away from him which was hoisted in the air by… Thin air. The knife hit bullseye and the people cheered.
"Hmph, I could do that if I trained hard enough," Naruto pouted referring to the floating piece of wood.
The leader of the circus stared at Naruto before he laughed seeing the look of disbelief on Naruto's face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a volunteer!" He said pointing at Naruto.
"Wha-what?!" Naruto took a step back before the clown of the circus moved to grab him. He ducked under the huge, hideous man, running circles around him before the circus performer grabbed him.
The crowd clapped as Naruto was strapped on the floating piece of wood.
"Stop this instant!" Naruto yelled at the clown. He sighed when the clown ignored him saying something in that weird language he couldn't understand.
The leader smiled before he took out a set of throwing knives.
"Relax my dear sir," He said in his native tongue trying to ease Naruto's struggling form which had the opposite effect. "This is going to be over in a minute."
"Don't you dare, you fake!" Naruto yelled, trying his hardest to break free from the constraint when the Leader brought out a set of Knives, holding them up for everyone to see.
The only woman in the circus threw an apple in the air and a moment later, the apple was embedded above Naruto's head, the knife piercing through the wood.
"Oh fuck-" Naruto cursed when the knives in the leader's hands caught on fire. The crowd roared, some in excitement and some in fear, but they were pumped up for what was about to happen.
Naruto groaned when a particular memory hit him. "Stop!" He yelled in the native tongue of the people.
Everyone laughed at his poor accent, thinking his fear made him forget how to pronounce properly.
The leader, Fang, threw the first knife missing Naruto's crotch by an inch. Naruto doubled his efforts, trying to break free. The woman clogged his mouth with an apple to shut him up before another knife missed his feet.
Naruto groaned again as another memory hit him.
"Move! Make way!"
Four soldiers armed with spears in the same golden amour the guards wore pushed through the crowd searching for Naruto.
"That's him!" A red-haired young woman glared, pointing at Naruto crossing her hands over her bountiful chest.
Naruto sighed when he recognized the woman. "God I hate my clones sometimes," He said with a mix of anger and annoyance.
The four soldiers rushed to apprehend Naruto.
"Little help here, Furball."
"Keh!"
The orange fox inside Naruto refused to help.
"Hey! Kurama?!" Naruto received silence from the mountain sized fox.
Let it be known that Kurama, the Kyubi no Kitsune, the Almighty Nine-tailed fox, the demon fox, Hatred incarnate, Last born of the Bijū family, was never one to wiggle his tails every time his Jinchūriki was in danger.
"Damn it all!"
The crowd gasped when Naruto disappeared with a poof only to be replaced by a log.
"Where is he?" One of the soldiers asked.
The crowd parted and a crouched black-cloaked figure whispering a mantra of 'praise be the logs' trying to leave the crowd discreetly wasn't that hard to spot.
"Get him!"
Naruto yelped and ran for his dear life in an unfamiliar street while being chased after by soldiers in a foreign land.
He'd better get a medal of honor for this in Konoha.
(Earlier, with a Clone)
"Hehehehehe..." Naruto giggled pervertedly as he peeped on a red-haired woman taking a bath.
"This is gold!" He whispered like a certain white-haired Sannin would.
The lady stood up from the bathtub and reached for a bar of soap, bending her waist, giving Clone-Naruto a perfect view of her… Lower assets.
Naruto sported a nosebleed instantly and had a dopey look on his face.
"Kekekeke. Ero-Sennin, I'm a believer!" He yelled a little too loud.
The red-haired woman jerked her head around, looking for the source of noise she heard before releasing a high-pitched shrill when she saw Naruto.
"Oh boy." Was the clone's last words before he poofed out of existence.
(Back in the present in the Flashback) [A/N: I am making sense right?]
"Sir, he went that way!" The red-haired woman pointed at where she thought Naruto ran off to.
"Grrr… I'll just-" Naruto yanked at his hair before he breathed out his frustration. "Useless clones!"
He came out from where he was hiding, dusting the precious gift Yasaka gave him. The cloak reminded him about that one time he stayed in Yasaka's room Into the wee hours of the night. Well… That's a story for another chapter.
Naruto did the smart thing anyone could do in a situation like this, he turned around and moved the opposite way of his pursuers.
He ran for a few seconds and bumped into something strong.
"Oof- Watch where you're goi-!" Naruto's words of protest died in his throat when he saw the Impressive chest of the person he bumped into. He craned his neck upwards just to see the face of whom he bumped into.
Ba dump.
His heart skipped a beat.
When Naruto's blue orbs made contact with the handsome stranger's golden orbs, dressed in a white suit, his hands beside him trembled and before he knew it, His body sprung into action. He hopped backwards five feet away from the stranger, two kunais in reverse grip, his body already in a defensive stance.
The tall, handsome man raised an eyebrow at Naruto's behavior.
Stranger's POV.
"Your idea of fun is to peep on a damsel taking a bath?" I said looking at the sapphire-blue orbs of the stranger garbed in a black cloak. I found the cloak rather eye catching.
My eyebrows raised above my white-golden hairline when I didn't receive a reply nor did the blonde boy charge at me. His form was very impressive at least.
"You have not answered my question," I said with a warm smile.
A bead of sweat rolled down the young boy's face before he spoke in a foreign language, "Um, I'm not a pervert?"
