Before the last phase of the Chūnin Exams, I needed to see Naruto.

I can't remember why, but I needed to meet with him.

However, I could not find him.

I explored the Hidden Leaf Village, but Naruto was nowhere in sight.

Time was running short and I needed to find him soon.

I needed a new strategy.

So, I stopped to think.

What was Naruto doing?

It was during the Chūnin Exams, Naruto was likely out training.

But where was he?

As far as I knew, he was with someone called "the Toad Hermit."

Maybe I could find Naruto if I found the Toad Hermit.

But how could I find him?

What did I know about the Toad Hermit?

Then, an idea struck me.

Full of hope, I ran towards the local forest.

Eventually, I reached a river.

The hope within me grew at what I saw.

A group of young, swimsuit-clad women was splashing in the water.

I excitedly looked around at the surrounding trees.

I knew little about the Ninja World at the time, but I did know one thing.

The Toad Hermit was a womanizer who liked spying on women.

He was likely going to be in places where there were attractive women.

If I found attractive women, I could maybe find the Toad Hermit.

If I found the Toad Hermit, I could maybe find Naruto.

I scanned the treetops once more before spotting something.

Someone was standing on a platform stationed in the trees.

I smiled in triumph.

Standing on that platform was Naruto Uzumaki.

Author's Note: If this piece of writing seems strange, I should note that it was based off of a dream that I had years ago in which I was in the Ninja World and was looking for Naruto. And just like the narrator in the above submission, I can't remember the reason why I was looking for him. No Flames please.
