I ignored it deciding to come again tomorrow, alone.

"What is it Haru?" Naruto questioned. "Nothing, nothing." I said with a smile. "You get this far-away look sometimes, as if you're looking at something that isn't there." Naruto said a bit worried about ghosts probably. "I see ghosts. I thought you knew that." I said as if I was stating a fact. "No-not funny." Naruto shivered, barely getting a sentence out. And he followed me even closer than before. I never understood where his fear of ghosts came from. When I asked him he said that he was always scared of ghosts. It's strange, why is he scared of ghosts, anyway. We had no incidents with ghosts and stuff as far as I can remember.

We finally got home Naruto still strutting behind me.

"Cook something Haru." Naruto whimpered like a puppy. "You should cook, ya know. I cook almost every time. Also, if you're that hungry I bought some cup ramen with new flavors. It's in the cupboard." I said. Naruto made a YES pose and he went on a search for a ramen. After eating cup ramen we slept. With that our day ended.

The next day I woke up early and cooked up some curry for us. I wore some clothes for free movement and I took some gloves for my hands. After leaving a note for Naruto I went on my way.

Finding that place wasn't that hard it was a bit of a deserted place on the edge of the village. I think some clan used to live here, I think, dunno what happened to them. People had moved out deciding that this place was somewhat sacred or haunted. In a bit I was at the same place again. This was actually quite lucky since my sense of direction is somewhat horrible.

You have discovered Konoha dungeon (easy). Recommended level above LVL 5

Do you wish to enter?

Yes, I thought mentally. And I was transported to a barren place which made me feel a bit queasy. As far as I could see nothing was here the sky was blue, the ground had nothing but dirt, not quite a desert but close. Everything seemed so desolate, so lifeless. But I could feel that I wasn't alone. A creature came under the ground. It was like a worm, it had dirt colored skin, it had no eyes, no mouth, but it had a mouth gaping with teeth at what seemed like its' head and it almost one meter long.

I used observe on it.

Burrowing Cazador is a deadly adversary. Though not strong, through its' speed and with their sheer number they can prove deadly even to seasoned hunters.

Why can't it just be wolves or something normal I cursed inwardly. You have to admit that this thing is disgusting. I can stand Shino's bugs but this thing. This thing shall die, I resolved. I took a protective stance readying myself since I did not know anything about them. That one lunged at me trying to take a bite out of me. This thing was almost the same as my height. I caught it with my hands and crushed its' almost head, it wriggled a bit before dying. And I felt myself gaining EXP I guess. It first happened when I killed a rat. And I would gain a level if I killed 50 or more at this rate, I concluded. Not that many of them came, though. Some of them would occasionally pop out to be squashed. And after the first twenty or so a kunai dropped. I wanted to get one before academy. But only a legal adult can buy it. I'll find a way, dammit, or so I thought. Now with kunai Naruto and I can get into shurikenjutsu. Ninja has to be versatile which means we have a long way to go. Corpses didn't just go away it stayed much to my disgust. Four-year old standing alone amongst dead abominations is quite intimidating to be frank.

After gaining two levels I left the place. Next time I'll use weapons so that I won't be this dirty again. They started appearing more after my first level increase and it increased again after I gained my second level. I got bit three times. And it hurt, but it was not unbearable at least. Finally I decided to return after becoming more prepared against it. At this rate these things were going to appear a lot more than I can handle. I was gone for almost three hours, and Naruto was still sleeping.

I washed up and I felt clean again which was always great.

After Naruto ate I said "Hey, I have a surprise" with a smirk. "No, I don't want it" Naruto said with conviction. I cringed "Why?" I asked in surprise. "You look downright evil with that look of yours, Haru" Naruto told me. "Really, then have a look at this" I showed him the few kunai I got. In just a matter of seconds his eyes shifted through several emotions. First it was surprise, disbelief and finally happiness. "How did you get these?" he asked. "Good ninja doesn't reveal his secrets" I said haughtily. "You are stingy" Naruto said pouting. "Now, now I wouldn't antagonize someone who can get kunai." I told Naruto. "Have I ever told you that you are a wonderful person, Haru" Naruto said with a forced smile. "I know" I said arrogantly. "You are insufferable" Naruto sighed. "Enough about that we will try shurikenjutsu today" I declared. Naruto was pretty into it too. It would be great if I could interest him in this. Since he only did things that interested him. And his interest always waned really quickly which was a damn shame. He had some real talent in cooking at least.

And today we'll start training earnestly in shurikenjutsu.
