Whirlpool of the Leaf

Hey guys I'm sorry about not posting in over a month. I got my new computer a month and while I was completing it, my motherboard decided it wanted to fail. Yeah, my computer's sound card and Wi-Fi stopped working completely. So, yeah, I got a little frustrated and I want to say I'm sorry, but seriously how would feel if all the work at night was right there and you just couldn't do anything with it. You couldn't post it, move it to another computer, or anything and I really do not feel like rewriting 2000 words so yeah. So I got to thinking just today why not come back and give it a go, but give it some more story line. I don't know if I'll come back to what I originally planned or not because I believe this may help me with my problem with having more storyline than before. So I hope you enjoy.

Prologue

A boy and a girl were both standing before a grave. It held a piece of a very, very large butcher knife. The boy, Naruto Uzumaki, was a short blond boy with blue eyes and three whisker marks on each cheek. Naruto wore an orange and blue jacket with a white collar, a white swirl with a tassel on the left side, and a red Uzumaki crest on the back along with a large sword with bandages around it. He also wore orange pants with a shuriken holster on his right knee, blue sandals, and a blue forehead protector. The girl, Haku Momochi Yuki, was a few inches taller than the blonde. She was very beautiful, with a slender figure and C-cup. She wore a standard Kirigakure pinstriped outfit which stopped at her knees. She wore a green haori with white trimmings over that, and around her waist a brown sash with a fringed trail wrapped around her waist twice. She also had brown platoon sandals with straps in the same color as her kimono and nail polish on her fingernails and toenails in matching blue green color. She had her hair in a bun and a Kirigakure forehead protector on.

Haku's face was marred with tear stains for all her tears has long since dried up. They had been standing there for a long time just staring and remembering the time they had together and what happened on the bridge.

Flashback

"Hey, wake up or you will catch a cold," said a rather melodic voice.

"Wha…. who's waking me up. I know it's not Sakura-Chan or Kakashi-sensei since this voice doesn't…. screech as much or has a lazy tone. Sasuke-teme won't even give me the time of day, so who could be waking me up," said Naruto.

He opened his eyes to one of the most gorgeous girls he had ever met.

"Good morning, you're going to catch a cold if you stay out here like this," the rather beautiful female said.

Naruto got up and stretched before shrugging and saying, "I've never been sick before so no worries. If you don't mind answering, who are you?"

She blushed forgetting to introduce herself first, "Sorry, my name is Haku, what's yours?"

Naruto beamed and shot up screaming, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, the soon to be greatest Hokage to ever live." Surprisingly, Haku wasn't irritated in the slightest, in fact, she started giggling. Naruto was honestly startled, while it may me an insignificant action to anyone else, he had never had anyone react positively to his dream. Only sneers, glares, laughter, and insults were ever sent his way.

"Why," whispered Naruto with his eyes shadowed.

"Huh," replied Haku with confusion.

"Why aren't you laughing at me."

Haku looked up with surprise, "I'm pretty sure laughing at someone's dream is considered rude."

"True, but everyone else everyone else laughs or insults me since they think it's a ridiculous dream," replied Naruto while he was staring down at his feet not wanting to look up and see her sneer like all the villagers.

"I don't think your dream is ridiculous." Naruto looked up surprised and saw her smiling at him. Naruto couldn't believe his ears. This stranger, he only met not even five minutes ago, complimented him.

"What's your dream?" Naruto asked. Haku thought about lying, but for some odd reason when she looked into the blonde's sapphire eyes, she couldn't even think about lying to him. Snapping out of it, she noticed she was staring and looked away blushing before answering.

"My dream is to fulfill the dream of someone precious to me." Haku said still blushing.

"Who's your precious person?" asked Naruto. Haku hesitated for a second before answer, which Naruto noticed.

"My father, he's hurt and I'm collecting herbs to help heal him," she replied while getting up. Naruto caught on and got up as well.

"Do you need help with picking some of the herbs? Tenshi-chan," asked Naruto with a foxy grin on.

'No one's ever called me a Tenshi before,' Haku blushed and nodded yes. Naruto though this would be a good time to ask on herbs for cooking. He wasn't ever allowed into the Konoha Library which left him with no way to know what herbs he could get from the wilderness or from stores that would let him in for cooking. While he would ask for something on herbs for poisons, he didn't think a civilian like Haku would have anything on herbs for poisons. She started directing him to the herbs she needed and started to collect some herbs while making small talk. At the end of the day, they walked back to the clearing in a comfortable silence. When they got back to the clearing Naruto asked.

"Could we do this again?" Haku looked over in surprise.

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite get that." Naruto blushed and asked again.

"Can we do this again, but it's okay you don't have t-," Haku shushed him with her finger while giggling to herself.

"I was kidding Naruto, I would love to do this again tomorrow," she said with a blush.

"Okay, my team is probably worried about me so I guess this is bye for now." Naruto started to walk away, but Haku had other plans. She grabbed his cheek and kissed it before walking off leaving Naruto in a daze.

"Bye Naru-kun see you tomorrow," Naruto, still dazed, just waved with one hand placed where she kissed him on the cheek. She giggled and waved back. As soon as she was out of sight, Naruto grew a megawatt smile and started to walk back with a slight skip in his step.

Back at The House

"Kakashi-sensei, Naruto has been out since last night and its almost noon. Shouldn't we go out and find him," Sakura was beginning to get worried for Naruto. Which is a first. As soon as she finished, Naruto came through the door with his megawatt smile still on display.

"Naruto, your back and why do you have a big smile on your face," honestly, the team had never seen Naruto smile so much, and it seemed a little bit more…real.

"I've just been out training and made great progress," it was true, he was out training last night and got up a quarter of the way higher in tree climbing giving him the lead against Sasuke. Kakashi and Sakura were a little suspicious, but brushed it off as Naruto. Sasuke just plain didn't care on the matter. Though seeing the dobe smile like that was beginning to freak him out.

"Alright then team, time to train," said Kakashi with an eye smile.

"What! But I didn't get to eat anything yet." Naruto shouted.

"Then maybe you shouldn't have had stayed out all night," Naruto started to rub the back of his head with a sheepish smile on his face.

Outside

"Alright, my cute little genins, show me your progress in your training." Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto all ran up the tree at the same time. Sakura got all the way up, Sasuke got nearly half the way there, and Naruto had surprised him with going farther than Sasuke and almost reaching the top before he had to jump off from losing his grip.

"Okay, Sakura, I want you to run up and down the tree. Your problem isn't your chakra control, but the amount of chakra you have. I want to increase the amount of chakra you have without knocking off your control. Sasuke, finish the exercise by dinner time, then tomorrow we can start on another exercise tomorrow. Naruto, I expect you to finish in a few hours and I will start you on the exercise I will have for Sasuke tomorrow. Now get going."

"Hai," chorused Team 7 and they got to work.

Next Day: In the Woods

Naruto and Haku were laying down under a tree huddled against each other. When she arrived, they started to chat about their lives up till that point. Naruto told her all about his time in the village: all his pranks, precious people, and problems. Haku told him a rundown of her life without the bloodline part. That's how they ended up with Naruto comforting her from the pain off her past. Haku had calmed down quite a long time ago, but didn't want to leave his presence. It was so warm and inviting. She couldn't help it. She was falling for the blue-eyed blonde.

"Naruto?"

"Yes Haku?"

"How long can it stay like this?" Naruto just told her and honest answer.

"I don't know, with me being from Konoha, and you being with Zabuza, I don't know." Haku's head shot up hearing this.

"You knew!"

"I've known since yesterday. You were hesitant to answer my questions and Zabuza is obviously the guy you got the herbs for since he was injured from my sensei."

"Then why didn't you try to capture or kill me?" Naruto looked at her and smiled a genuine smile.

"Because I can't bring myself to harm or let anyone harm such a bright and beautiful girl." Haku had tears welling up in her eyes and she lunged at Naruto and kissed him with all her might. Naruto was surprised for a second, but gave into the kiss quite easily. They made out for five minutes before they needed air. They just laid there forgetting all their problems till it was time to leave.

Four Days Later

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura all made great progress with their exercises. When Kakashi deemed her reserves efficient, he had Sakura spar with a clone while tree walking to give her some experience in fighting on vertical surfaces. Sasuke and Naruto had already finished the tree walking and the tree sparring exercises. He now haves them on water walking. Though it seems this is going to take even longer due to their large reserves and emotions. Speaking of emotions, Naruto and Inari made up over the past few days. He had even started calling Naruto Nii-san. Now, they are on the last day before they face Zabuza and his apprentice.

"Team, this is the last day before the showdown. We will not be training today since we are going to need all our energy to fight them. Zabuza is a high Jonin so I can expect that his apprentice is at least mid Chunin," said sternly by Kakashi.

"Naruto, Sasuke, you both will take on the apprentice while I take on Zabuza. Sakura, you protect the bridge builder from all harm." Sasuke was shaking with excitement, Sakura was nervous but tried her best not to show it in front of her "Sasuke-kun", and Naruto wasn't looking forward to it at all. After all who would want to fight someone you fell in love with over the week.

"Kakashi-sensei, I'm going out, I'll be back by sundown." As Naruto was walking to the woods, Kakashi was getting even more suspicious. He did not want to do anything since he wanted his student to make their own mistakes, but it's been getting more frequent and longer that he would be out till well towards midnight. However, for the last time, he decided to let it go.

In The Woods for The Last Time

Naruto walked into the clearing he's been coming to for the past week, and there she was waiting on him.

"Naru-kun!" she came rushing and tackled him to the ground.

"We just saw each other yesterday, Haku-chan." He chuckled as both of them sat up.

"I know, but I always feel lonely without you." She pouted out before sitting next to him and snuggling up to him.

"You know this may be the last time we will be able to do this?" said Naruto somberly after a long silence.

"Yes, but I just want it to last a little bit longer. Please." She looked at him and gave him the puppy dog look.

"Fine, but I promised I'd be home by sundown."

"That's all I ask," and they there and just talked till the sun was nearly down.

"Bye Naruto-kun." Haku kissed him before hugging him then walking away to the hideout.

"Bye Tenchi-chan." Naruto stood there looking in the direction she went before walking away.
