He was a criminal, the most wanted and searched for, especially after he betrayed the Shinobi alliance after the fourth war. There wasn't anyone in the five nations that didn't know about him and a few people had even seen him as an idol. Someone that didn't always abide by the rules and brought change.
So when she encountered him, she was ready to fight for her life, even if she knew it was futile. She fell easily in her family stance, Byakugan activated, waiting for his move. He looked rather bored with the situation though and didn't move to engage her. Instead he simply walked pass her, as if she wasn't even worth his time.
It angered her immensely that he overlooked her so easily, but she knew it was better this way. With one last look over her shoulder, as he had walked into her blind spot, she sprung into the nearest tree and made her way to her destination. Thoughts occasionally drifting back to him.

It was clear to her, when she met him again near a bandit camp, drenched in blood, that he wasn't normal. Activating her Byakugan she was ready to face off against him, just like two years ago. Though just like at that time he disregarded her and made his way to the trees, before jumping onto one and practically disappearing from pure speed as soon as he let himself touch the tree.
This time he wasn't in her blind spot and she was amazed by how far he traveled in such short time, he was out of her reach in just under 20 seconds. She relaxed and took with her Byakugan a look into the bandit camp and it was just like she had anticipated, completely destroyed and no survivors.
Though all bandits were beheaded and it was a sickening sight, even to a Shinobi. She ventured into the camp, looking for signs of struggle, but there were none, meaning they hadn't even noticed him until it was to late.

When she was kidnapped by Toneri, a descendant of Hamura Ĺtsutsuki, she expected her sister and maybe her boyfriend Naruto to come for her rescue. But as she felt the dark Chakra and the pressure of it she knew it could only be one man, because the only other one that had such pressure to his Chakra was Naruto Uzumaki and his Chakra was far brighter.
The fight didn't last long, as she felt Hamura's Chakra spike in the middle of the fight, growing almost as big as that of Naruto Uzumaki as he used half of the ninth tailed beast. Then the fight continued as far as she could feel, the Chakra of both of them clashing again and again.
In the end she wasn't that surprised as she only felt the Chakra of him and the one of his opponent having ceased to exist. Though as fast as he had appeared, she had the wind knocked out of her, too sudden to react to it.
When she awoke, days later in the Konoha hospital, she could see again. She was confused why he had come, to save her and giver her back her eyes, but she was sure it meant something, if not to him, then to her.
And she would treasure that kindness that he showed to her, for a long time.
Line
Their next meeting wasn't like the others, more relaxed as she was again on a mission and walked into a bar to rest up for the day only to find him sitting there. He sat alone in a corner, inconspicuous and nursing a drink.
She sat herself on a table near him and soon a waiter was at her table, ready to take her order. She ordered a gloss of the whiskey for herself and for him. As he was handed his glass he glanced up at her and smirked, before sipping it and holding eye contact.
She flushed at being caught and turned her eyes to her own table. When she looked up the next time he had vanished, his glass empty and a note in front of her. "We are even now, little Hanabi?" was written on it and this time she flushed out of anger at being called little.
