A/N:Yay i finally found the time to write the second chapter for Existence! i hope you enjoy and don't forget to leave Review!!

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own naruto.

It had been a month since Kari's arrival into team 7. They were all quickly becoming fast friends with their new team member--save for Sasuke who could careless. This week in paritcular had been pleasently peaceful without any real danger presenting itself in Konoha.

Today seemed no different.

'He sure can talk a lot' Kari thought as she exited Ichiraku's. The young girl had agreed to eat lunch with Naruto, but she had never expected the boisterious blonde to bombard her with a seemingly endless conversation of...RAMEN!!

For almost two hours straight the blue-haired girl sat and listened to him talk so animatedly about every single thing that he knew about the simple dish while he repeatedly stuffed more and more noodles into his mouth.

Fortunately, the blonde excused himself and said he had some training to do. She said her farewell and even paid for his meal which he graciously thanked her for by hugging her until her face almost matched the color of her hair.

So now here she was was walking by herself in the busy streets of Konoha. 'It's always so sunny here...I miss the rain' Kari sighed as she briefly glanced up the sky. She continued to walk aimlessly through the village until found herself walking along the paths of one of the village's parks. She found a large a tree that overlooked a small pond and settled herself under it's comforting shade.

The Next day

Kari exited her apartment and headed for the Hokage's Tower. Today she had a mission to complete. The Mission it's self would be fairly simple seeing as she only had to deliver a scroll to some nobleman. She was sure she would be back by tomorrow morning maybe even earlier.

She quickly retrieved the scroll and thanked Tsunade-sama before leaving the village.

Kari was along the path back to Konoha alongside Mochi, one of her summoning animals, "My lady? Are you listening to me?" Mochi said but Kari was not paying attention as she could see a group of people at the gates. Finally, she noticed a familar head of blonde hair amongst the group of boys. 'Hmm? I wonder if they're all going on a mission?' She silently thought to herself.

The group of boys, Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba, Chouji, and Neji had all turned to leave when the spotted Kari walking towards them. Naruto then noticed that their was a fairly large animal walking along-side her "Kari-chan lookout there's a huge monster stalking you!!".

Kari was confused by her blonde teamates action as he ran towards her and pushed her behind him to 'save-her-from-the-monster' as he so bluntly put it. The blue-haired girl giggled as Mochi became furious at Naruto's comment. "Listen you punk, I certainly am not a monster!". By now the other boys were standing around them.

This in turn made Naruto mad and he was about to make slick remark back but Kari spoke before he could say anything. "Naruto , This is Mochi he's one of my summoning animals. He's surely no monster if anything he's a softie" Kari giggled as she heard Mochi scoff at her comment. "But he's so huge for a cat!" This made Kari giggle even more.

"I can alter his size whenever I like. I made him this big so i could ride on him. He's extremely fast." She demostrated by simply putting up her index and middle finger on her right hand which made Mochi shrink to his original size. He then climbed up her left leg and back before resting his body around her neck. "Oh and Naruto he's not a cat. He's a weasel."

Shikamaru then told Naruto that they had to leave if they wanted to catch up to Sasuke. With that being said they all said their farewells to the young girl and left.

'So he left...I knew he would'

Hours Later

Naruto and Sasuke were at the end of their battle at the Valley of The End. Naruto's rasengan colliding with Sasuke's chidori caused a great explosion. Both were still alive although Naruto was unconcious. Sasuke took of his headband and left to join Orochimaru.

Kakashi, finally, showed up but was too late as the only person he found was an extremely injured Naruto. Along with Pakkun he hoisted Naruto on his back and went back to the village.

"Well...this is certainly turning out to be interesting" said Zetsu as he slowly rose from the ground "Wouldn't you agree, little one?"

" Yes...I agree...

...Zetsu-sempai"
