Slowly the silver haired golden eyed angel like woman stood and gracefully glided over to the small puppy on the ground. She knelt down and softly in a light, clear, calm and bell like voice asked "Why do you weep, little one All is not lost for you still remain."

Then she looked up and fixed her liquid gold eyes on the blue-eyed white panther watching her closely. She smiled and said, "So then you have returned, Zendil. We must go to Konoha, For it's been so long since we've been in good company." Silently the cat rose and glared at the shivering reddish brown excuse for a wolf pup.

Zendil turned his eyes to watch the small woman and said, "This thing will slow us down, Halo." Halo smiled vaguely and replied, "I know you too well, my friend. I saw the look you gave her. That was the look you give to your students when you see great potential." Zendil growled and strode off grumbling about lack of manners.

Halo lifted the small puppy into her arms and followed her strange friend, smiling softly to her self.

As the three came the gates to Konoha, the panther sighed and said, "Halo, Must we really meet this Naruto Uzumaki. Honestly, I think he'll be stupid like that Minato was. Besides you shouldn't waste time on petty hu-"

"No! That' s enough, Zendil! They aren't petty. If they were he wouldn't have existed." Halo snapped her eyes suddenly filled with pain.

"Obito Uchiha" Zendil snarled and then froze looking at the angry girl beside him. Quietly they entered the village and Halo sighed looking anywhere but at her now silent and gloomy friend.

Because several years ago Obito Uchiha died and Halo lost the only human friend she had ever made. And in Zendil's mind if Obito Uchiha never existed then Halo wouldn't have fallen in love and then gotten hurt when he died.
