"Good morning," said the young woman. "You know you'll catch cold if you sleep out here like that."
"Huh?" questioned Naruto ever so eloquently. "Who're you?"
"My name is Haku," she replied.
"Nice to meet you," said Naruto, sitting up and trying to shake out the cobwebs of such a rotten night of sleep. The first thing he saw was a beautiful young girl with midnight black hair and delicate features wearing pink kimono. Then he looked for the girls name floating above her head. Only one name and a level, 'Haku Lv 31'.
"So what brought you out here?" she asked, shaking Naruto from his curiosity of her name and level.
"Oh, training. I have to get stronger," he replied.
"Stronger for what?" she asked.
"My team is trying to help free this country," he replied.
"Oh, then you're here to kill Gato?"
"I wish," grumbled Naruto. "Nah, we're here to protect the bridge builder Tazuna so he can finish his bridge and free the people from Gato's tyranny."
"I see, so you're getting stronger to protect someone?"
"I'm getting stronger to protect everyone," he replied quickly.
"I see, then you'll become really strong in the future. I believe that when someone has something to protect they can become truly strong."
"Yeah," said Naruto, agreeing wholeheartedly. "So what brings you out here?"
"I'm gathering herbs for a sick friend."
"Oh, so you're an iryonin," said Naruto, figuring that with her level she had to be shinobi of some sort.
The girl suddenly jumped back away from him in a slight bit of fright. "How . . . how did you know?"
"It's not that hard to tell," said Naruto, trying to sound confident in the face of a now defensive shinobi that definitely outclassed him. "You wouldn't have been able to sneak up on me, even when I was sleeping if you weren't. Plus, I can tell, you're pretty strong." He may have lied through his teeth but it was believable enough and the girl didn't seem too concerned he might have been lying. He was more concerned with why she was suddenly so on edge.
"I see," she replied cautiously, one hand moving slowly behind her back as if reaching for a weapon.
"You're a bit uptight, huh?" he asked, trying to appear completely relaxed but feeling less so with each passing moment.
"I am your enemy, am I not?" One of her hands was not behind her back, probably pulling some manner of weapon.
"Are you?" asked Naruto, his own hand slowly moving toward his weapon pouch. "Mind explaining, why are you my enemy again?"
"I see, you really don't know. Well then Naruto-kun, I'll tell you. I am Zabuza-sama's tool. When next we meet we will most assuredly fight to the death."
Naruto's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "You work with that guy? And what do you mean next time?"
"He is my master," she replied.
"Oh, so you have that kind of relationship," stated Naruto, earning a severe blush from the girl and a lot of anger.
"I am a boy," the now identified boy stated, his eyebrow twitching slightly.
"Really? But you're like . . . pretty and stuff. You totally look like a girl right now," replied Naruto, clearly in disbelief of the Haku's statement.
There was the sound of branch snapping nearby drawing both Haku and Naruto's attention momentarily. When Naruto looked back, Haku was gone.
"Well that shit wasn't scary or anything," said Naruto. He glanced again at his health and chakra which were both down around twenty percent. Clearly he had trained too hard the night before. "She . . . he would have totally killed me if we fought now." He sat down heavily on the ground trying to calm his rapidly beating heart.
