Miya watched the boy attempt to follow Jiraiya's instructions on how to master a jutsu called Rasengan. The instructions were simple, yet vague, as most were when concerning jutsu training. Miya had no trouble following what Jiraiya was saying, but it seemed the boy, Jiraiya called Naruto, was having trouble grasping the instructions. She watched as he repetively tried to form the intricate ball of chakra. Eventually he gave up trying on his own and summoned a shadow clone to assist him.
While he struggled to gather chakra in his hand with the use of a shadow clone, which Miya thought was really cool, she noticed that Jiraiya slipped off into the trees. She knew she should follow the old pervert, but from the direction he was heading she knew he was probably going to peep on the girls bathing in the nearby hotsprings. Besides, something about the boy intrigued her. She couldn't place her finger on it but he seemed familiar to her. Instead, she decided to stay in the trees and observe Naruto's progress. As she watched, she mentally stored what she herself learned about the technique. It was a difficult jutsu, she could tell. It required a great deal of focus and power. She wasn't lacking in either area, so had confidence she could learn it with ease. Naruto, however, seemed to lack the necessary focus. She was impressed by the clever way he overcame his short-coming.
After several hours Miya's mind wandered back to the subject of her mission. She had to figure out a way to successfully gather intel on Jiraiya. Obviously, following him wasn't going to get her anywhere... at least not within an acceptable time frame. She couldn't confront him, not if he really was one of the Legendary Sanin. She had to come up with a plan.
She watched Naruto bury the fully formed Rasengan in the side of a tree causing it to explode. She nearly fell from her perch more from shock of its power rather than the force. She really had to try it out soon, she thought. Then the idea popped in her head. It was a brilliant idea and was surprised at herself for not thinking of it sooner.
She opened her senses to her surroundings and scanned the area for any signs of the pervert. When she was sure he was no where around she activated a technique that allowed her to negate soundwaves in her immediate vicinity. Once in place Miya snuck up behind the very distracted and tired Naruto. As she got within striking range Miya reached for her kunai... and felt empty space. Her pouch wasn't there! As her mind raced in panicked circles trying to figure out what to do next Naruto turned. Miya found herself nose to nose with the boy. they were so close she could feel his warm breath on her cheeks. His blue eyes widened with shock as he realized she wasn't his sensai.
'kuso!' Miya's mind screamed as she stared back at him, hand frozen over where her kunai should be.
Naruto jumped back to put some distance between himself and the strange girl. Pointing dramatically at Miya, in typical Naruto fashion, "Who the hell are YOU!?" He yelled waving his extended arm.
Miya didn't respond, her mind still reeling with shock she just stared at him. She desperately tried to remember where she had left her kunai. If Yota sempai had still been around she wouldn't be in this mess right now, she thought with self-disgust. She was always forgetting stuff or misplacing things.
Naruto began to get impatient when the female didn't respond. She just stood there looking at him with a blank expression on her face. He wondered if she was retarded or something. As his initial shock wore off he realized she wasn't going to move, so he took the opportunity to observe her. She stood about half a head shorter than him, and by her style of dress he determined she must be a konoichi. Her jacket resembled his except for the hoodie and that it was red where his was orange. He could see the traditional netted undershirt peeking out at the neck line, forearms where the sleeves were pushed up, and waistline where the jacket stopped. Her hair was blond much like his with red tips and it was sticking out in several directions from the hood of her jacket. He could also see a forehead protector on her brow but her hair hid the village symbol. The pants, also red, were bound from mid calf down, disappearing into her sandals. Her pants were low on her hips, lower than he had ever seen on a girl... he... he... could see her bellybutton and several inches below. It made his face burn, and he was sure his face had turned at least three shades of red.
Embarrassed, naruto began yelling at the kunoichi again, "And why the hell are you dressed like that!?! What kind of ninja are you anyway?!"
When he still didn't get a response he became exasperated and decided to use a tried and true ninja technique... he approached her and furiously waved his hand in front of her face, "Hello! Anyone home?!"
During this whole time Miya was searching her memory and had finally remembered where she had left her kunai.
Relieved, she abruptly turned waving her hand at the boy, "Nevermind," she said as she walked away.
It was Naruto's turn to stare blankly as he watched her disappear into the woods.
Naruto's eye twitched, '........ how... who... that was completely rude!' Naruto thought, 'How dare she interrupt his training and then just walk away after all that?'
"Hey!" he shouted as he took off after her.
"You can't just sneak up on a guy like that and just say 'nevermind'! What's wrong with you?!"
Miya wasn't sure if she should just knock the brat out or keep walking, remained silent. He was, after all, being far too loud and may attract the attention of Jiraiya. Before she could decide one way or another Naruto jumped in front of her blocking her path.
"Hey, i'm talking to you, Baka Onna!"
Miya stopped, her eyes narrowing at the insult. Using the advice Jiraiya gave Naruto, and her own observations Miya began to form a heavily concentrated ball of Chakra in her right hand.
"What did you just call me, you little hine daikon?" Miya asked in a low voice.
Naruto's eyes nearly bugged out of his head as he watched the Rasengan forming in her hand. How did she...?
"No one. No one calls me that, " she said, " EXCEPT MASA-C!!!" she yelled as she quicker than the eye called see rushed the brat ready to plant the Rasengan in his face.
Naruto quickly recovered from his shock in favor of survival as he dodged the blow. He could feel the sheer power of the chakra as it made contact with an object. He soon realized it was the tree that was behind where he was standing as he felt the splinters inbed in his flesh.
'Holy Shit!' Naruto thought as he spun around to form his own attack.
He quickly formed the hand signs for the shadow clone jutsu, saying, "So, you wanna play rough? FINE, I'll show you the power of the future Hokage of the Leaf Village... Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
He put out his right hand as one of the clones rotated his hands above forming the shape of his own Rasengan.
A sadistic grin spread across Miya's face, "Oh, entertain me, please," her voice oozed with vicious amusement.
naruto balked at her words, a sweatdrop sliding down his cheek.
'Who the hell was this bitch?' he thought with the beginnings of worry.
Miya just stood there absolutely still, looking very much at ease as she gazed up into the trees, almost looking bored. She waited for him to attack. The only visible sign of her emotional state was the angry emerald green burn of her chakra.
Naruto paused, second guessing himself. Her chakra was green! What the hell could that mean?
One thought crossed his mind, 'Where the fuck was Jiraiya?!'
