Description
Six Konoha genin are stuck in Suna during the rare rainy season, and arguing in the Kazekage's library over whose parents have the most romantic storyline. Ebizo finally settles them down by telling them a story of the most romantic couple, or what he feels is the most romantic couple - that of the relationship between Rasa and Karura. Disclaimer - I don't own Naruto. This is written for Wattpad's Just-Write-It for January 2006, and the theme is Firsts. I decided to focus on first love for this contest, and I decided to write a multi-chapter story featuring a pre-canon pairing for the first time. This story also uses the Story Within a Story trope. Orichimaru not receiving punishment at the end of the series broke Willing Suspense of Disbelief, so I'm not going to be using Mitsuki despite the fact I like his character, and the story runs AU to the epilogue due to both Orichimaru and Mitsuki's involvement in those story lines. Metal Lee is taking his place on Baruto and Sarada's team.
