Bold jutsu and demon talk

Naruto heading out of the forest his team had used to climb the trees because of his sensei denying him how to do the chakra exorcise and headed to a forest far from them so he wouldn't get spied on to calm his nerves because of his ungrateful sensei praise sasuke for his quick thinking grate reflexes even when sasuke wanted to take his own life because of the killer intent but blamed Naruto for doing nothing to help his team. Naruto only sighed to himself as he arrive in a forest full of herbs that help heal numbness {books about herbs where in his family scrolls} and trees, looking at all the trees in the surrounding area and counted at least around a thousand of them while he set a invisibility seal on the back his hand like the one he had copied from the fake anbu. Then created around seven hundred and fifty clones and shouted out an order.

"Alright fellas activate the seal and start tree climbing again we don't want to lose all that chakra control we have worked so hard to achieved now do we?" receiving shouts of no boss and activated the seals and went to work climbing trees while the original took off his jacket and pulled up his shirt to reveal a seal on his heart and pulled out a scroll from a storage seal with a bit of blood and began to wrap some tape with weights around his wrists and ankle with the weight of 50 pounds and 100 pounds for his ankles. Then set out to work on the katas for the whirlpool family style which consists of speed and flexibility and was said could interpret in any kind of weapon with practice but Naruto had yet to find the right weapon {plus not wanting to get anything from the village not wanting their demon to get smarter or stronger or it will turn on them}.

**next morning**

"hey are you okay?" a kind girls voice asked echoing in his ears as he felt someone shake him awake "hey wake up or you'll catch a cold out here if you continue to sleep in the morning cold." Naruto opened his eyes and met chocolate brown orbs of a teenage girl his age before him, she had long brown black hair and pale skin like his if he deactivated his seal on his heel and a wore a beautiful pink kimono with swirl like patterns and a pair of sandals. "You ok?"

"y-yeah." Naruto blushed at the closeness of how the girl was as she smiled at him.

"That's good. You know, you shouldn't be sleeping outside like this at this time of day. You could get sick you know." Naruto shrugged as the girl looked away from him.

"I've never nor will I ever get sick. Its apart of my curse." Naruto muttered the last part but the girl frowned as she heard it.

"Curse?" he nodded.

"Yeah….let's just say I'm hated throughout my village for something out of my control." The eyes of the girl had soften and that's when he saw it, it was the same thing he saw every time he looked in the mirror. Pain sorrow, longing everything he felt he saw reflecting in her eyes "you're hated too…aren't you?" the girl had flinched back in surprise but nodded with a sad look on her face

"Yes, I was…but that's when I left my home village" he nodded. "My… my name's Haku." he kingly smiled at her.

"I'm Naruto." The girl now known as Haku smiled back and stoop up and offered Naruto a hand up. Taking the help he was pulled up with ease.

"Naruto-san would-"

"Don't call me san Please no honorifics." Haku nodded.

"Ok, Naruto….kun. Would you like to give me a hand? I'm looking for some herbs that can be used in medicine." Naruto nodded to her and rolled up his family katas and turned away from her briefly to lift his shirt and resealed it.

"Sure… in this vary field the pants here can help heal numbness"

While sitting back on the ground to pick herbs in silence but her curiosity was getting the better of her "Naruto-kun if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is your curse?" he looked up for a second before looking back down.

"I've been blamed for something outside of my control." Haku frowned as he had said that already. "They only see me as a reminder as a reminder of the kyuubi since I was born on that very same day." Haku only nodded in understanding.

"I was raised in a village not far from kirigakure." Naruto raised an eye brow and looked up at her. "during the time the current mizukage he had started a bloodline civil war. He had hated all bloodline users and wanted them purged from his country"

"Where you one of them?" Haku nodded.

"Yes, I have a kenkkai genkai."She had looked up at Naruto. "I had found when I was four." Haku had stood up and moved to another spot to resume picking herbs she needed and resumed her story. "when I showed my mother, she slapped me and told me not to do it again."

But someone else saw didn't they." Naruto asked as he stood back up and knelt down and faced her. Haku only nodded.

"My father. That night he had gathered a mob of villagers and stormed our home" he saw tears leak down the girls' eyes. "The villagers held her down while my father stopped her head in several times before they turned towards me before they could kill me my blood line activated and I killed them all." Naruto sighed and shook his head.

"Your blood line isn't a curse in konoha. If you were to live there you would live like royalty." Naruto only shook his head and stood up and looked to the sky. "I on the other hand will always be seen at the kyuubi who killed the fourth hokage." Naruto helped the girl back up. "Do you have everything you need?" Haku nodded.

"Yes… thank you Naruto-kun" he nodded and started to walk away. "Um…Naruto-kun?" Naruto looked over his shoulder at the girl. "Can….can I see you again?" Naruto sighed.

"I would get in trouble for meeting the enemy, hunter-san" Hakus eyes widened as Naruto smirked "but I sure wouldn't care though…so here tomorrow, same time?" Haku nodded and kindly smiled.

"How?"

"You gave me enough information to piece it together. The herbs and our story" Haku only looked at the ground. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about you. Besides." Naruto started to walk away making his voice slightly louder so she could hear him. "Those who are cursed should always stick together to fight those who try to put us down don't you think." Naruto exited the clearing with his weights still on happier than ever before while Haku had felt that exact way thinking of ways to heal her master with the herbs she acquired.
