Chapter 14 friends :D

Enjoy!

Ch14

Hotaru sat on the floor as TChica sat next to her gapping at TFreddy, who stood in front of her nodding his head.

"Wow…that's a long time" said the blond ghost looking up in thought.

"At least we have company for how-ever long we're around" said TFreddy reaching forward and petting Hotaru's head with Nao eying him, watching him closely.

"Oh yeah!" TChica turned to Hotaru and grinned at her "TFreddy said something about possessing someone. Can I try with you?"

"Sure. I mean TFreddy did it, so I think if you did it be fine" said the brown haired girl.

"Yeah! Let's try" the girl floated up and behind her. Placing her hand on the smaller girl's back, then quickly pushed forward and vanished in a puff of smoke.

When the smoke vanished Hotaru stood there with a new outfit, that Naruto would probably have a heart attack if he saw her wearing it in front of him. Her top was almost similar to that of TChica's except hers was an off the top yellow top with the words 'Let's Party' on it (the same as TChica's) and frills on the end of short sleeves. On her wrists were white cuffs. Her pants were pink short shorts with frills at the bottom where her legs came out from. On her legs were yellow and white stripped stockings that extended to the middle of her thigh and on her feet were black cowboy style boots that had pink bows on the top each. To top it off some of her hair was tied in a small ponytail on the side of her head.

"You look so cute!" cheered TChica exiting Hotaru's being with a happy look on her face well holding her cheeks.

"Just don't let your father see you" said TFreddy with a sweat drop.

"I wonder what I can do…" said Hotaru as Nao barked on top of her head, he had been transported from her pocket to the top of her head when her clothes changed.

"What do you mean?" asked TChica tilting her head in confusion.

"Apparently when Hotaru wears one of our clothes it gifts her with strange abilities" explained TFreddy "For example when she wears my clothes, she gains the ability to lurk in the shadows"

"Wow, that's incredible" said TChica in amazement.

"I got it!" cheered Hotaru walking over to the window and stepped on the still gaining the attention of both Toy ghosts.

"Hotaru…what are you doing?" asked TFreddy wearily as the girl took Nao off her head.

"Be a good boy ok?" she smiled at him confusing the pup as well. She placed the puppy on the still then took a deep breath and…jumped.

"HOTARU!" both ghosts yelled floating outside. The girl got closer to the ground and pulled her fist back.

"YAH!" she yelled throwing the fist forward which impacted with the floor shocking the ghosts. She had made dust kick up and a mini boom ensured. When the smoke vanished Hotaru stood there looking at her hands in wonder. Around her was a crater with her standing in the middle of it.

"Wow!" she said in excitement.

"Hotaru!" she heard seeing Misaki and Hanabi standing there with gapping mouths.

"Hey guys!" she called then looked sheepish "Guess I got some explaining to do huh?"

"So this is the village" said Ino as she and Tsunami walked down the street towards one of the many shops the place had. Along the way the Yamanaka was looking around at the poverty that was surrounding them. Children and people begging on the streets dressed in rags.

"It's sad I know" said the woman dropping a coin in one of the children's hands "It's all because of Gato forcing his taxes on us" she hissed the word taxes out like it was venom.

As they walked a man who was walking across the street saw Ino's kunai pouch and smirked. He reached for it but over reached and accidently grabbed her ass. Ino froze mid-step and slowly turned around with a blank smile on her face making the man start sweating bullets.

"Did…you grab my ass?" the man shook his head 'no' vigorously.

"DIE PERVERT!" she yelled sending a kick towards his mid-section sending him to the other side of the street and crashing through some boxes. Ino stood there seething in anger well glaring daggers at the man.

'No-one touches my ass…expect my precious of course' she thought to her cheering herself up with the thought of the person who wormed their way into her heart.

"Are you alright Ino" asked Tsunami looking to see if the girl wasn't traumatised or anything.

"I'm fine" said the blonde flipping her hair over her shoulder "Will you be alright on your own Tsunami-san? I just need to run back and get something"

"I'll be fine" the woman smiled at her waving her off "take as long as you need"

"Arigato" the Yamanaka said taking off towards the house at a fast pace.

After a bit of running the girl made it to their client's house. Opening the door she found the house to be quiet so she assumed everybody was out. She closed the door behind her as she entered and walked up the stairs.

She entered the room where she and Satsuki were staying and dug through her bag. When she got what she needed the girl smiled pocketing her purse and closed her bag again placing it next to her sleeping bag. She looked over and saw that Satsuki's bag was open she looked left and right but didn't see any sign of the Uchiha heiress.

"Must be out training" she said to herself exiting the room and closing the door behind her. She walked past the bathroom and caught an odd sound emitting from behind the door.

It sounded like something was buzzing. She paused and turned to the door with a confused look.

'Is someone brushing their teeth?' she thought then heard another noise. Now it sounded like a…moan.

'Is someone hurt? No if they were then they would have been yelling. Kakashi-sensei is out protecting Tazuna, Inari ran off to go fish at the pier, Naruto's off on his search again and I just left Tsunami in the marker area…that could only leave Satsuki' she leaned against the door softly and surprisingly it was unlocked and slowly/quietly creaked open.

'Ok…weird' she thought pushing the door open slowly and looked inside.

The Yamanaka had to place a hand over her mouth stifle the gasp that would have alerted the person her presence. Her eyes were wide in shock at the sight before her, something she didn't expect to see.

There sitting on the closed toilet was Satsuki butt naked with her black panties and bra at her feet. The fact she was naked didn't shock Ino it was what the Uchiha girl was doing that shocked her. She had two egg-vibrators taped to her nipples that were vibrating at what, Ino guessed, was the medium setting since the sounds was louder now that the door was open.

The girl had her index and middle finger inside her hairless pussy, fingering herself vigorously with her eyes almost rolled to the back of her head. She moaned well her tongue was hanging out the side of her mouth.

"Holy shit…" whispered Ino making Satsuki's head snap up and towards her. Both stared at each other in shock. Ino opened her mouth so say something else but was cut off by Satsuki.

"GET OUT!" she shrieked shaking the house and making Ino run out and shut the door behind her. Inside Satsuki ripped the egg-vibrators off and turned them off. She grabbed her bra and panties then quickly put them on.

When she was partially dressed she ran over and ripped the door open to glare blood murder at the Yamanaka girl who had her hands over her mouth to prevent herself from laughing, loud.

"Now you die Yamanaka" growled Satsuki running at Ino who quickly took off downstairs.

Later the others would come home to see a bra and pantie cladded Uchiha and a Yamanaka with her clothes half torn clashing kunai.

"Hey Tsunami…" said Ino standing in front of a picture frame that had a piece torn out of it taking someone's face out of the picture "How come this picture is torn?"

The occupants who lived in the house stopped what they were doing as a depressing aura surrounded all of them.

"That's…a picture of my late husband…" said Tsunami gripping the sink tight, where she was washing the dishes from the dinner they just had.

"Oh…sorry…" said Ino dropping any questions she had.

"He was a hero" said Tazuna with a sigh taking a swing of his sake "his name was Kaiza and everybody thought of him as the hero of Wave"

"And what happened?" asked Naruto sitting at the table.

"He died. One day Gato's men came for him and he had him publically executed" they all turned their heads to Inari who had stood up and ran upstairs.

"Inari!" called Tsunami running to the stairs. She paused at the bottom step and sent her father a glare "You know not to talk about him in front of Inari" with that she ran upstairs to comfort her son.

"I'm sensing a story here" said Kakashi turning a page of his book.

Hotaru grinned at Hanabi and Misaki who stared at her with gapping mouths. The three were sitting in the main room of the house, all of them sitting in a circle both girls looking at their Uzumaki friend.

"See I told you ghosts did exist" said the brown haired girl looking pointedly at Hanabi.

"…I still don't believe that ghosts are real" said Hanabi shaking off her shock.

"WAH! But you saw what I could do!" yelled Hotaru standing up glaring at the Hyuga girl who also stood up and glared right back.

"Just because you can change clothes by a tug doesn't prove the existence of ghosts" she said folding her arms.

"What must I do to prove to you that TFreddy and TChica are here with us?" she asked both girls stepping closer to each other with sparks flying from each-other's eyes.

"Fine…if they're here then make them do something that will prove their existence" said Hanabi, and just after she said that a vase flew over their heads and hit the wall scaring the girls.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" Misaki screamed grabbing Hotaru in a hug the girl was blue in the face from lack of oxygen, for someone so small the girl was strong when she wanted to be.

"M-Misaki….c-can't….breath…." she choked out as the girl quickly let go and was blushing up a storm well apologising profusely.

"T-That doesn't p-prove anything" said Hanabi trying not to show how scared she was. Next thing she knew she was floating in the air with what felt like someone holding her under her arms.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" Misaki screamed again and grabbed Hotaru in another bone crushing/fearful hug.

"…Still…can't…breath…" she gasped.

"Ok! You win! Ghosts are real!" screamed a fearful Hanabi as she was put back on her feet. She ran over and also clutched Hotaru making the girl pass out from lack of oxygen.

"Hotaru!" the four people/ghosts called seeing the girl go limp.

"Let's take her to the hospital!" said Misaki as both girls carried their friend out of the house.

"OK my precious Genin…" said Kakashi standing in front of them with crutches helping him stay up. Next to him stood Keiko who had just gotten there that day after Kakashi sent a messenger bird to Konoha requesting help in the form of Team Seven's other sensei. It took her two days to get there.

"Now that our whole squad is here we can begin our training" he eye-smiled getting the attention of all three.

"Yes. We will be working on your chakra control" said Keiko looking at Kakashi who nodded his head then walked over to one of the trees and started walking up the side of it. His display shocked two of his students well the other took on a book to read.

"Just focus charka into your feet" was Keiko's vague explanation as she threw three kunai at their feet "It's advisable to get a running start since it's your first time trying this" she found one of the kunai buried at her feet.

"Sorry sensei but I have more or less mastered this and have moved onto water walking" said Naruto looking up at his team-mates who gaped at him, one of admiration and the other of concealed jealousy.

"I'll be at the lake if anybody needs me" he walked off with Freddy floating behind him.

'Damnit! Why can't I catch up to him?!' thought Satsuki in jealousy. Ever since they were put on the same team the girl had thought she would have Naruto begging at her feet to teach him about things. As it turned out the blonde was better informed/ more equipped than she was…and it made her blood boil.

After some training Naruto started heading back to the house, as he walked he heard the sounds of someone grunting. He stopped and turned his head to see his black haired team-mate still running up the tree. When she got to a certain point she crushed tree trunk under her foot. She slashed the tree and pushed off doing a backflip.

Naruto looked up at the tree and saw slashes adorning the tree's trunk. If could guess the girl had been doing the exercise for majority of the day by her only being clad in her bra and skirt with her top thrown to the side.

"Damnit" the girl panted glaring up at the tree. She made the ram seal and focoused charka into her feet; she then ran at the tree and ran up. She made it up halfway then her foot slipped. She started falling towards the ground and her body wouldn't obey her since she was suffering from charka exhaustion.

'Fuck, I'm done for!' she thought closing her eyes and hoping at she'd land in a way that won't be fatal.

After a while she opened her eyes to see she was in the arms of her blonde team-mate who was smiling down at her surprising her.

"I see you've working hard Satsuki-chan" the girl was too tired to talk so she chose to glare at him and discreetly snuggled closer to him. Naruto started walking towards the house with the girl's breathing slightly laboured.

The two walked in silence just listening to the crickets as the sun vanished over the horizon. Fireflies came out of the wood work lighting their path. Satsuki was amazed at the beauty of it all. She looked up checking to see if her team-mate was as amazed as she was by the beauty surrounding them.

Naruto kept his eyes forward and to the naked eye it seemed as though he didn't even notice the beauty of the night, but Satsuki had been around the boy long enough to know that he was discreetly taking in all the beauty with wonder.

The Uchiha girl gave a small smile and snuggled closer to her team-mate listening to his heart beat.

'I don't know how I could mad at you…' she thought wistfully remembering everything the blonde had done for her.

He stood up for her when the council wanted to turn her into breeding stock. He was her best friend, not that she'd admit it out loud, and the only person she could relate to about loneliness. He would steal the forbidden scroll for her sake even if it meant he'd been in huge trouble and give up his dreams.

Yes. The blond told her about what happened the during the Forbidden Scroll incident: how he was tricked, what he and the fake Mizuki spoke about, who the topic was about and how he'd do it again if it meant saving her from that fate.

'Huh…how about that…' she thought tiredly 'I'm falling for my…best friend' she had denied it for so long and now she finally accepted it.

Naruto heard soft breathing and looked down seeing the black haired beauty sleeping in his arms. He smiled at the peaceful look on her face then looked up at the sky.

"It's a nice night huh?" he heard above him making him crane his neck upwards to see someone sitting in the tree. This person was also looking up at the sky with a soft smile on their face.

The person was male with lavender hair that hung just past his shoulder, tied in a ponytail. He wore a formal dark purple vest with a black shirt underneath with the sleeves rolled up and round his neck was a red bow tie. His pants were the same colour as his shirt. On his right wrist were two metal bands; on his left hip was a metal chain that had metal musical notes on it and two metal rings adorned his pinkie on his left hand and his right index finger.

He turned his head and smiled at the blonde who looked up at him gaping widely. The man stood up and floated down till his standing in front of the boy who had to look up at him, since he was that tall probably taller than Kakashi.

'Hell, he looks as tall as Zabuza' Naruto thought in surprise. He looked left and right looking for any sign of Freddy but the former entertainer had run off earlier, saying he needed to do something.

"Hey, you can see me" said the man his magenta eyes shining in delight "does that mean you'll listen to one of my songs? Please? I haven't played a song for someone in a while and every time I play for someone that comes into the woods they run away"

Naruto didn't know what to say; obviously this guy wasn't human since he was floating so he had to be Bonnie, but which one.

"Before you do that would you mind if I ask you a question?" he asked calmly shifting the girl in his arms.

"Sure. Ask anything you want" the man looked happy and eager.

"Is your name, by any chance, Bonnie the Bunny?" the man looked shocked with his mouth hanging open.

"Wow, that's good. How'd you know that?"

"I know your friend Freddy" he said making Bonnie's eyes widen in surprise he started looking around rapidly.

"Freddy? Is he here?"

"He went somewhere for a bit but I'm sure he will be back if we wait" said Naruto sitting against a tree and positioning Satsuki so she could sleep against him without him holding her. He felt her shiver so he carefully took his jacket off and draped it around her making her smile.

Bonnie floated over and sat on the floor next to Naruto. Both of them looking up at the sky watching the stars shine in the cloudless night.

"…can I still play a song?" asked the lavender haired ghost, making Naruto chuckle softly.

"Sure. Just play one that's low key, because it seems as though people can hear your music but can't see you playing it"

"But how can you see me?" asked Bonnie making a red and white guitar appear. He started tuning it making sure it all sounded right.

"I'm…a special case" he said making Bonnie look at him from the corner of his eye with a confused look but ignored it and gave his guitar a few strums.

"Alright, I'll accept that" the lavender haired ghost said smiling.

Hotaru groaned well opening her eyes she blinked as her surroundings came into focus. She was in a hospital room with three other people there and Nao sleeping on one of their laps.

"She's awake!" she felt herself being caught in a hug by someone who jumped on her bed. She blinked as red hair came into focus.

"Misaki?" the little girl was sobbing into her shoulder.

"H-Hotaru I-I'm s-sorry" she wailed "I-I didn't m-mean it! I-I-I was ju-just scared!"

"Huh?" the brown haired girl looked confused until she looked up and saw TChica cooing at the cuteness of the situation the girl was in. The memories of what had gone on came back to her.

'Oh yeah, Misaki and Hanabi choked me out' she thought with a sweat drop. Well her best friend cried into her shoulder and kept saying how sorry she was.

"A-Are you ok?" she turned to the other side of the bed and saw Hanabi standing there looking nervous. Obviously the Hyuga girl wasn't used to this kind of situation.

"Yeah…" the girl softly removed Misaki who was sniffing with tears streaming down her cheeks "You know for two small girls you're really strong"

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" said Hanabi going from awkward to offend. Both girls giggled.

"Ahem" someone cleared their throat. All three looked over and saw Sakura standing there with a pissed off look on her face and Nao in her arms.

"You three have some explaining to do" she said tapping her foot on the ground. The look on her face made all three girls hug each other in fear.

"We're sorry!" they all screamed. Nao sweat dropped: humans are weird.

"Seriously, do either of you know how worried I was!" said Sakura holding Hotaru's and Misaki's hands. Hinata had come to get Hanabi the minute Hotaru was discharged. The three females were walking down market district as the sun dipped behind the Hokage Monument.

"Honestly! Naruto hasn't even been gone a day and you get up to mischief" Sakura was now talking more to herself than the two girls who were being almost dragged down the street.

"S-Sorry N-Nee-chan" said Misaki in a small voice.

"And you!" she turned to the red head who 'eep'ed "What if something happened to you? Mom would have killed me!"

Both girls hug their heads in shame as they stopped in front of the restaurant/apartment. Sakura fished out her keys to unlock the front door. Once it was opened the pinkette opened to the elevator as the two girls walked towards it like prisoners on death row.

Sakura locked the door and walked up over (more like stomped) to the elevator getting inside with the two girls and the dog. She put her hand against one of the panels and channelled her Charka into. When she removed her hand the panel moved to show a button which she pressed making the elevator go up to the fourth floor.

Once the door opened the older Haruno exited first and stood there with a frown on her face, followed by both girls who kept their heads down in fear of evoking more wrath from the pinkette.

"Both of you go to the room. You will only come out when I call you to come eat" Sakura said in a stern voice as the two girls nodded their heads indicating they understood.

When they entered the room Sakura sighed tiredly and leaned against the counter of the kitchen. She looked up at the ceiling feeling tired. The pinkette had been running herself ragged looking for the two, fearing the worse. One of the medical ninja had come and got her saying that Hotaru had been emitted to the hospital. She'd be lying if she said she didn't almost have a heart attack right there and then.

When the girl had come too Sakura have given them such a tongue lashing that had them white as ghosts.

"And now I'm here" mumbled the preteen walking over to the fridge. She looked inside, grabbed some meat and some vegetables "It's for their own good" she mumbled again placing the food on the counter and retrieving a frying pan.

"I'm back!" the blond ninja and lavender haired ghost looked up to see Freddy floating over with someone hanging over his shoulder. When he landed in front of them he dropped the person on the floor shocking Bonnie at whom the person was.

"Foxy?!" he yelled in surprise.

The man was as tall as Freddy with crimson hair and an eye patch covering his right eye. He wore a red pirate captain's jacket that had black shoulder pads, black on the rims in the front and on the cuffs, there was a golden coloured rope holding the jacket on his person (since he didn't put his arms through the sleeves). He had a sash around his waist with a black pirate belt holding it, and his pants up he had a red pirate shirt on that was open at the top. On the lower half he had black pirate pants and black pirate boots.

Foxy stirred and sat up with a groan. He opened his eye, which was bright yellow and looked around. His eyes landed on Bonnie and Naruto first then it landed on Freddy, at which he jumped up and brought his right hand up making his hook shine in the moon light, well he barred his sharp teeth.

"Fazbear…" he growled "Why have ye brought me here?" he asked with his pirate accent.

"You were just mopping around at the docks so I thought I'd bring you here, you know lighten up your mood" said Freddy with a shrug.

"Yar, I was not mopping" denied Foxy as he struck a pose with his right hand down and his left hand over his chest "I was remembering the times was on the seven seas ya scally wag" the other two ghosts sweat dropped at that.

"How many times have we told you, you're not a real pirate" said Freddy making Foxy take in a sharp intake of breath.

"Mutiny!" he yelled pointing at Freddy with his hook hand "Be gone with ye false truths before I make ya walk the plank"

"Foxy-" Naruto cut Bonnie off.

"Wait I got this" he stood up after placing Satsuki on the ground, who snuggled his jacket and sighed happily.

"What if I told you I could take you to a place that simulates be out on the open seas?" he asked making Foxy turn his neck so fast they thought his head would pop right off.

"I be listening…" he said trying to play it cool but you could tell he was excited.

"You see I have rebuilt Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria and I have dedicated a whole room to you. It's pirate themed and many of the children, and parents, have commented on how realistic the room is. Most of them claim it feels like their on the seven seas themselves" Naruto smirked at Foxy's shocked look.

"…and what be the catch?" the pirate asked with narrowed eyes.

"Simple. All you gotta do is fight alongside me until the day I pass on. Most of the time you don't even have to do any fighting" Naruto grinned widely at Foxy who looked up in thought.

"It does sound promising…" he looked down at Naruto who remained patient. Honestly the red haired ghost was getting bored of sitting by the docks all day and night, he wasn't actually thinking of his 'life as a pirate'. That's just what he does when he's bored. He created a world in his head where he's a pirate captain with a ship and a crew.

The chance to be involved in a fight, or just to be in viewing range of it, excited him. That and the chance to have his own room that simulates being on the seas? He was sold.

"Arrr, ya land lubber ye got a deal" he held out his right hook which Naruto grabbed around the metal. Next thing they all knew Foxy vanished in a puff of smoke that surrounded Naruto.

When the smoke cleared Naruto had a whole new wardrobe. He had a black pirate's tailcoat on with red on the on the collar, a red pirate shirt that had the top buttons undone. Instead of a hook for a right hand he had on black glove that had long sharp claws on the fingers, well his left hand had a fingerless red glove. His right eye was covered by an eye patch. His pants were dark brown pirate pants and he had black leather boots that went up to just before his knees.

Naruto shook his head as Foxy was shot out of Naruto's body and landed next to Bonnie who was stunned at the image in front of him.

"Wow…" said the lavender haired ghost.

"How did ye do that?" asked Foxy standing up.

"I'll let Freddy explain that" said Naruto grabbing his shirt and changing it to his casual clothes, that lacked the jacket since it was draped over Satsuki "I need to get Satsuki-chan inside before she gets a cold" with that he picked up the girl and walked towards the house.

"Welcome ba- oh dear is she alright?" Tsunami ran over and fretted about Satsuki who was still sleeping soundly a Naruto walked through the door.

"She's fine, just worked herself to hard" said Naruto seeing everybody at the table for dinner. He shook the girl slightly making her moan in protest.

"Satsuki-chan. Come on time to get up Tsunami-san made dinner" the girl's eyes opened as Naruto put her down on her feet. She yawned well stretching. Satsuki noticed that she wasn't wearing her normal top but something much baggier. She looked down and saw a black jacket on her person confusing her.

"How'd this-"

"You should hurry and get dressed Satsuki-chan…" she turned around to look at her team-mate who grinned down at her "or all the food will be gone"

The girl kept looking at him before nodding her head and heading up the stairs.

"Damnit Naruto stop being so greedy!" yelled Satsuki hitting the boy over the head as he reached for a second helping of food.

"But Satsuki-chan~ the food is so good~" he moaned rubbing his head looking at the girl with puppy dog eyes.

"She's right Naruto. With your appetite you'll eat them into bankruptcies" said Ino twirling a chopstick around her fingers making an amazing display.

"Please eat it's alright" said Tsunami with a smile "It's alright since you're helping this village restore itself to its former glory"

They all stopped what they were doing when Inari stood up from his chair making it clatter behind him. He was glaring at Team Seven, mainly Naruto.

"What do you want kid?" he asked with a bored look. Honestly he was getting annoyed with the looks the boy was sending them.

"How can you act like this!" he yelled shocking his grandfather and mother "How can you act so care free, when we're all suffering!"

Naruto didn't say anything choosing to let the boy have his say.

"You three don't understand our suffering! You probably never had a hard day in your life! You never lost anyone!" that statement made the temperature in the room drop several degrees. The three ghosts moved away from Naruto and Satsuki as they were leaking Killer Intent.

"You're all just gonna die, no one can beat Gato! So why don't you just leave! We don't need people like you!" he flinched back when Naruto looked up at him with hard eyes.

"Oh? I'm just gonna die am I?" he asked his voice dripping with venom "I don't know what suffering is?" he stood up as his charka became visible. It was dark brown in colour and shaped like Freddy, two eyes shone out of the shroud.

Everybody, who's never seen this were shocked and terrified at the entity staring down at them.

"Naruto…you might give them a heart attack" said Freddy. Naruto breathed out a softly and calmed down, making the aura vanish.

"Stop acting like a little brat…" he said after a while glaring at the boy "I don't know what you have against us and frankly I don't give a damn, but don't pretend to know our lives" the blonde reached into his kunai pouch and withdrew a photograph which he placed on the table face down. Everybody looked at it unsure what he wanted them to do about it.

"Look at it" he said with a mono-tone. Inari reached out with a shaky hand towards the photo. He looked up at Naruto again to make sure it wasn't a trap.

The blond boy just kept staring at him not moving an inch. The little boy picked up the photograph and turned it over. His eyes widened and a blush over took his cheeks.

On the picture was a smiling brown haired girl he didn't know, but he could say without hesitation the girl was pretty.

"That girl is my adoptive daughter" said Naruto leaning on the table with his eyes shadowing his eyes "What do you think she'd have to say about you wishing death upon her father?"

"…"

"WELL?!" the blonde yelled looking up making the others gasp. The boy's eyes had turn blood red with a slit down the middle of each eye.

"S-She wo-wouldn't be ha-happy" said a fearful Inari as Naruto slowly nodded his head.

"You know what it's like to lose a dad. Don't wish that pain on another" with that he took the picture back and walked over to the door "And another thing, I do know what these people in your village are going through. I just stopped bitching about it and did something" he looked over his shoulder at the people in the room "And one of us does know what it's like to lose a family member, hell she lost her whole clan. So next time think before you speak, or you'll get more than just a tongue lashing"

With that he left, slamming the door behind him.

A beautiful black haired girl was walking through the woods. She wore a pink yukata with a black choker around her neck and wooden sandals on her feet. She carried a basket on her left arm well humming a pleasant tune. She was really enjoying the outdoors.

She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw a blonde boy lying on the ground asleep and oblivious to everything around him. She walked closer being weary of her surroundings.

When she got close to him she kneeled next to him. She placed her basket beside her and reached forward towards his neck. At the last minute she directed her hand towards his shoulder and gripped there giving him a shake.

"Hey, get up. If you sleep out here you'll catch a cold" she said in a soft voice. The boy didn't show any signs of waking up making the girl sigh. She carefully lifted his head up and placed it on her legs so he would be more comfortable.

'I didn't really get in sleep…some shut eye would be nice' she thought closing her eyes going to sleep well half her mind stayed awake.

A half hour later Naruto woke up to see a beautiful face hanging over him well long black hair surrounded their faces. He reacted calmly and studied the face. It was obvious that the person was asleep by the soft snoring and the breath blown on his nose.

He kept staring at her making her stir in her sleep feeling someone staring at her. She opened her eyes and was met with cerulean blue staring at her. Instead of jumping back she smiled down at him with a beautiful/ disarming smile.

"Have a nice sleep?" Naruto returned her smile with the same type of smile, except it was charming/ disarming.

"Why yes I did, you are very comfortable" the girl giggled and lifted her head making some hair drag over Naruto's nose, making him sneeze to the side.

"I wouldn't get to comfortable if I were you" she said tapping the tip of his nose with her index finger making Naruto grin at her.

He defiantly got more comfortable making the girl giggle some more and let him get comfortable. The two sat in silence as they looked up at the morning sky.

"Are you a ninja?" she asked after a while of silence. Naruto didn't react like she thought he would. It almost looked like he didn't care.

"I am" he said staring at the clouds rolling by.

"So your strong then?" the girl asked now looking down at him.

"I wouldn't say strong…" said Naruto looking into her eyes "I just know what to fight for and I always keep my reasons close to my heart"

"Oh? So you have something precious?"

"More like people. I'll become strong enough to protect them. Even if I have to give up my life so they won't have to die" his statement made the girl blink in surprise.

'Such conviction…' she smiled a warm smile and grabbed his cheeks. Naruto blinked in surprise as the girl leaned down and kissed his forehead making him blush.

"Stay true to that and you'll never go wrong" she said parting from his forehead. When she was sitting up the girl slowly got up letting Naruto lean on his elbows.

"Until we meet again" she picked up her basket and started walking away.

"Wait…" she stopped "I didn't get your name"

"…Haku" she said after a while.

"Naruto Uzumaki" said the blonde lying back down and closing his eyes "Until we meet again Haku-chan"

"Yes…until then Naruto-kun" with that she vanished into the trees.

'So that's Zabuza's right hand/the blonde genin…' they thought at the same time both smiling '…I guess we will meet soon Haku-chan/Naruto-kun'

And that's chapter 14.
