NARUTO: Demon's rebirth in Naruto

After saying that, Naruto turned and walked away. Sakura hesitated for a moment before taking a few steps in the opposite direction. Then she stopped, her curiosity getting the better of her. Turning her head slightly, she watched Naruto walking further into the distance.

Naruto, unaware of her watchful gaze, moved toward the cliff Sakura had pointed out. Upon arriving, he pulled out a scroll he had brought along with supplies from home. With practiced movements, he removed the junk stored in the scroll to make space.

Then, focusing on the grave marker, he performed the necessary hand seals.

Zabuza's sword vanished from its burial spot, securely stored within Naruto's scroll.

"Finally! I got this," Naruto muttered under his breath, a triumphant glint in his eye.

Not too far away from Naruto..A sneaky cat is watching him.

Naruto unaware of it, tried to do his things.

As he turned to leave, a flash of image, he seen somewhere caught his attention. As, he sees quite similar like object few inches away from him. Moving closer, he knelt beside a small flower blooming near the cliff. He took out another paper from his scroll, examining the description of pill ingredients he had written.

(Naruto has the habit of of writing important things, even in his past life. )

His eyes lit up. "Sakura flower," he murmured, recognizing it.

Carefully, he dug out the plant by its roots, mindful not to damage it. He placed the flower in a wooden box he had prepared in the scroll, infusing it with a small amount of true qi to keep it fresh.

Not far from the flower, Naruto spotted two mushrooms growing. Picking them up, he examined their shape and texture before nodding to himself.

"These are the mushrooms I need," he said, placing them in the same wooden box and once again applying true qi to preserve them.

Unbeknownst to him, someone was observing his every move.

Sakura crouched behind a nearby bush, her eyes wide with curiosity. She had followed him quietly, intrigued by his actions. she had seen him retrieving Zabuza's sword and now watched as he carefully handled the flower and mushrooms, his hands glowing faintly.

Sakura's curiosity grew stronger with each passing moment. She wanted to know, What Naruto is doing. Unable to resist, she crept closer, her footsteps as light as she could manage.

CRIP CRIP

The sound of a branch snapping under her foot broke the silence of the night.

Naruto's head sharpened, his body tensing as he quickly stashed the flower and mushrooms in his scroll. With swift movements, he left a few scratches on a nearby tree using his kunai, masking the area.

"Come out now," Naruto said, hearing those sounds.

Sakura froze, her breath caught in her throat. After a brief pause, she slowly stepped out from her hiding spot, walking toward him with hesitant steps.

Sakura says, "I am sorry, I followed you out of curiosity," rubbing her hand over the back of her head nervously.

Naruto's eyes narrowed as he asked, "Did you see everything?"

Sakura hesitated briefly before nodding. "Yes... I've seen you taking the sword and placing it in a scroll."

Naruto's thoughts raced. BAD... I seemed to be too excited about the sword to notice someone was following me. What should I do if she tells everyone I took the sword? What about those two items I picked? Did she notice them, too? Does she know how valuable they are?

Sakura, her face turning slightly red but her tone tinged with irritation, shook her head and said, "Then you picked a flower to propose to me!... What do you think you are?"

Naruto blinked, startled. It seems she misunderstood. And these items are not valuable to them... so she didn't recognize them. I've attracted quite enough attention lately—I don't need unnecessary trouble right now.

The tension on his face was evident, his troubled expression was noticed by Sakura.

Sakura then raised her voice, "I have feelings only for Sasuke! I don't have them for anyone else!"

Naruto says, " Don't worry! I don't like to propose you....This idea has not even crossed my mind. You can have your feeling for Sasuke "

Sakura got frustrated hearing this and raised her voice. "WHAT DID YOU SAY! "

Naruto didn't flinched hearing this

"Fine" she softened slightly saying. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone that you've taken the sword."

Sakura with a momentarily pause. "...But?"

Sakura smirked, a glint of determination in her eyes. "But there's a condition."

Naruto asks, "what is it?"

Sakura continues, "I have a request for you and you have to do it."

Naruto then replies, "what if I don't."

Sakura says, "Naruto you owe me....Remember."

Naruto with his voice commanding asked, "What if I don't consider it?"

The sheer authority in his tone startled Sakura, making her flinch slightly. Gathering herself, she raised her voice again, "Naruto, you owe me one... and what I want you to do is..."

She paused dramatically before declaring, "To take me as your disciple!"

Naruto's troubled expression gave way to intrigue, his lips curling into a faint smirk as he thought, 'Ohhh... interesting!'
