Blue.

Her chakra was blue. Much lighter than her hair, but just as intense. Almost as intense as his own chakra, but not yet as much as his Rasengan. It was close though. Oh, was it close!

The first time he had seen his Blue Goddess had been many, many years before. During the Bikochu mission, a mission to find a beetle that could track the teme, he left camp to relieve himself in the middle of the night and came across a waterfall where a glowing naked and definitely female figure was dancing. Still sleepy and not anywhere near as alert as he should of been, something he himself - alcohol free - would never ever admit aloud in the company of others, he slipped and fell at the sight of her and splashed around in wonder, yelling out to nothing. Hormones, he supposed, could take the blame. After all, it wasn't every single day, or night to be exact, that one was able to view a naked goddess.

He cursed himself frequently in the years that passed that he hadn't taken the time that night to fully search her out. Sure, he had seen her several times since the first occurrence, but this was the closest he had ever gotten to her and the first time he had seen her in many months. He wasn't about to miss this opportunity. Licking his lips hungrily, almost able to taste her chakra, Naruto quietly moved forward. She had yet to notice him as she twirled about, sending gentle waves splashing about to the lake's shore.

The manner in which she used her chakra never ceased to amaze him! She wielded it in ways that he could only dream, even years of training would never allow him to be that graceful. The chakra of his Blue Goddess highlighted her curves and meshed with her body in a strong, calming glow. It infused the water she stood upon, wisped around her like the wind, strong yet gentle, and struck with such a deadly precision that any weapons master would find themselves jealous of.

It was breathtaking, to say the least. Anyone who witnessed it would be in awe, falling over themselves to get a better look and bask in her essence. Somehow, that thought made his insides twitch and bind in an uncomfortable pinch. He didn't want them to see! They weren't worthy of his Blue Goddess!

Growling softly under his breath as thoughts of others entered his mind, he crouched lower and moved forward once more.

Snap!

A twig broke beneath his feet and he silently cursed, glancing down at the broken fragments of wood. So much for super stealthy shinobi skills. Another not-so-silent curse permeated the now stilled air as all warmth left his body and the night grew dim, now minus a bright blue. The warm glow of chakra had vanished as did his Blue Goddess.

Deeply disappointed at the important missed opportunity to meet his Blue Goddess, Naruto Uzumaki picked himself up from the forest floor and made his way back towards the temporary camp he and the other ANBU had set up for the night. Maybe Hinata would have some ideas about how to find her. She was a girl and kind of a Goddess in her own right, after all.
