Samui examined team 7 until her eyes met Naruto's, without the two of them noticing, their eyes turned gold and silver like they were resonating with each other. Samui started to feel a warm feeling in her chest and so did Naruto. The latter snapped out of it and turned to Tazuna. "Hey geezer, can we head out? Our sensei needs to lay down and we need somewhere to talk to our saviors."
"Ah sure, my apologies. My house is not too far from here." Tazuna said, leading the group. Samui walked up to Naruto and put one of Kakashi's arms around.
"I'll help out." Samui said in a slight warm tone, an unrecognizable tone surprising her team. Naruto gave her a foxy grin causing her to blush.
"Cool." Naruto responded, causing Samui to smile a bit. The two blondes then carried the unconscious man to their client's home. Kakashi woke up in the client's house and noticed the Kumo team in the same room. "Kakashi-sensei, this team was sent by jiji to help us with the mission."
"Really, well thanks. You saved us." Kakashi said.
"Don't worry, but I should apologize for stopping time to shine." Bee said.
"He means your welcome." Samui said.
"I guess introductions are in order. I'm Kakashi Hatake, sensei of team 7."
"Yo, when people see me, they flee, the jinchuriki of 8, you can call me Killer Bee." Kakashi gasped when he looked at Bee then at Naruto.
"Hello there, I'm Sakura Haruno."
"My name is Karui." the kumo nin said, folding her arms.
"Sasuke Uchiha." The kumo genin looked at Sasuke like they were studying him. Karui and Omoi look like they were excited to fight him. Samui sensed his chakra level and she knew he couldn't match her. Plus she was interested in the blonde. She walked towards Naruto and grabbed his hands and held it in a warm embrace.
"My name is Samui, I'm interested in learning your name." Samui said to Naruto in a monotone, warm way. Her team was now really confused. The cold quiet girl they knew was none existent compared to what they were witnessing.
"Naruto Uzumaki, future hokage and…" Naruto paused and looked at Bee and his own team, then Kakashi. He noticed Kakashi giving him a nod like he was reading his mind. "Jinchuriki of nine." Team Kumo, except for Bee, was surprised, they never knew konoha had a jinchuuriki and the strongest bijuu at that. Sasuke and Sakura didn't know what to say, they had never heard of a jinchuriki before. They looked at Naruto and he gave them a look saying they'll talk later. "Anyway, are we going to talk about how Zabuza is still alive?"
What do you mean Naruto? Kakashi-sensei said he was dead." Sakura added in. Samui walked up to the blonde and hugged his arm between her breasts, causing him to blush.
"Naruto-kun is right. The hunter nin used senbons on Zabuza. He most likely put him in a death like state." Samui added. Karui and Omoi were confused. They have never seen their teammate act like this. Naruto was blushing up a storm.
"Precisely, which is why I'm going to train you. Zabuza should be out of commission for a week. But first how about we get a feel of our allies' strength. We can have our strongest students spar." Kakashi said.
"Yo, for sho. That'll put on a show. Samui here is the girl for the part you know." Bee said.
"What?" Kakashi responded.
"He basically said that Samui-chan is their strongest and she'll be fighting." Naruto answered, surprising his team that he understood.
"Why can't you be like mr. nine, he gets my rhymes. You three are so lame, get in the game." Bee said.
Ignoring the rhyme, Sasuke stepped up. "Well if you want to fight the strongest on our team, I'm ready." the Uchiha said. Samui narrowed her and clicked her teeth.
"You're not the strongest." Samui said.
"What?" Sasuke said.
"I said you're not the strongest. You might be a Uchiha but your chakra signature puts you at chunin. And I can tell by analyzing you, that your training is mediocre. You're not the strongest, it's Naruto-kun." Samui said.
Sasuke was seething, while everyone else beside the kumo nin was surprised. Naruto smirked. This girl was strong, he could feel it and she was figured out he was the strongest. Even with his kekkei genkai, his team thought Sasuke was slightly stronger, of course he didn't give them a reason to think otherwise. Samui looked at him and gave a small warm smile. "You're wrong, no one can beat Sasuke-kun. He's the rookie of the year." Sakura preached.
"The dobe is not stronger than me. Fight me now and I'll show you the power of a Uchiha." Sasuke challenges. Samui was about to retort until Naruto gave her a light squeeze on the arm. She turned her attention to her fellow blonde, who was smiling at her.
"I'll fight you after, just end it quickly. I can tell you're much stronger than him." Naruto commented. Samui nodded and the group went into the forest after making sure Tazuna and his family were alright. Once they arrived Sasuke stood across Samui in the interceptor stance, while Samui took the Kumo academy stance. Sasuke, getting impatient, charged Samui and threw a roundhouse kick towards Samui's head. Samui, still with her monotone look, bent backwards slightly and dodged the kick. Saskue then threw a punch towards the blonde haired girl. Samui caught his fist with a bored expression. She looked at Sasuke's fist and turned to him.
"Is that all, Uchiha? Just so you know, I hate your eyes. I see greed, hatred and anger. There's no honor. You have too much pride in your name. You let the name become you, instead of grasping control. You have no heart in battle, only pride." Samui said. Sasuke snatched his fist away, seething at Samui words.
"You know nothing about me!" Sasuke yelled. Sasuke went through a couple hand signs. "Katon: Gokakyu no jutsu." Sasuke shot a fireball at Samui, who was unimpressed.
'That's a C-rank jutsu. That fack his chakra dropped a lot from that means he has no chakra control.' Samui thought before going through some hand signs. "Suiton: Suijinheki." Samui released some water from her mouth that blocked the fire attack. Sasuke landed on the ground panting. "You seem tired, so allow me to end this."
Sasuke gritted his teeth in anger. "I can keep going. You know nothing." Sasuke said, standing back up. Samui shook her head disappointingly and charged the Uchiha. "Lariat." Samui's arm was covered in lightning and slammed Sasuke in the stomach sending flying back and he slammed into a tree. Sasuke tried to stand up but lightning coursed through his body.
"Don't try, you're to damage and if I hurt you anymore, you won't be able to complete the mission. Which will look bad on my part." Samui said. Kakashi looked at his student and signed.
"Samui is the winner." Kakashi said.
"No way, she must have cheated. Right, Naruto?" Sakura said. Naruto shook his head.
"No, she was stronger. She kept her cool during the fight and not only that, she used the academy taijutsu style against him. Plus she beat him in one hit." Naruto explained, causing Samui to smile and Sakura to seethe.
"You're not going to defend your own team, you must like that blonde hair skank." Sakura said. But when she saw Naruto glare, she backed down.
"Watch your mouth, and as to liking her…" Naruto looked at Samui and smiled. "Maybe." Samui blushed. Naruto walked in front of Samui. "I guess it's my turn." Samui nodded.
"Don't be stupid Naruto, if Sasuke-kun couldn't beat her. There is no way you could." Sakura preached, annoying Karui.
"Wow, your belief in me is heartwarming." Naruto turned to Samui, with a challenging grin. Samui returned it and got in a tiger stance.
"Wow, she must think highly of this guy to use her original stance." Omoi said.
"Yeah, but it only guarantees this guy ass whooping." Kurui added. Naruto overheard the conversation and went into his dragon stance. Samui and Naruto started radiating white and gold aura. Soon both disappeared and collided with their forearms in the middle. Naruto tried to knee Samui, but she grabbed and used it to lift herself in the air. She then tried to kick Naruto, but the male blonde jumped back and threw four shurikens towards his fellow blonde. Samui took out her tanto and deflected it. Naruto smirked and pulled out his ninjanto. Samui charged the blonde and slashed at him. Naruto parried her blade with his own. They went back and forth until Samui kicked Naruto in the air, and went through some hand signs. Naruto recovered in the air and went through some as well. "Raiton: Gian." "Katon: Ryuuka no Jutsu."
Samui shot a stream of lightning out her mouth and Naruto shot a wave of flame. The two jutsu's collided in the air causing an explosion. Naruto landed across from Samui, both had smiles on their faces but what impressed the other genin were neither of them broke a sweat. They were about to continue, but Kakashi intervened. "Ok, the match is over. We don't want you to be tired before your training."
"I guess, that was fun Samui-chan." Naruto said, stretching out his hand.
Samui looked at him and shook it, with a smile on his face. "Thinks, you're pretty cool."
Killer bee chuckled. He never saw his cold student act this way. To grow close to a guy from another village was very interesting. He would definitely have to tell his brother about this. Kakashi signed and turned to Sasuke who was seething at the two blondes. He had to fix his ego. "Now that's over, now to train."
Sasuke's interest piqued when he heard this. Sakura decided to voice a question. "What are we going to be training in Kakashi-sensei? I don't believe a week will be enough to beat those two."
"Well, we're going to be tree climbing." Kakashi said with an eye-smile. Sasuke and Sakura gave him a confused look. While Naruto and the kumo team looked at Kakashi with boredom.
"But Kakashi, we learned how to climb trees in the academy." Sakura said.
"Ah, but can you do it without your hands?" Kakashi asked. He then proceeded to the tree and started walking up the tree. Sasuke and Sakura were amazed, but the others were just bored. "If you use too much chakra, you'll blow yourself off, too little and you'll slip. With this exercise, you'll be able to control how much chakra you put in a jutsu and it'll help preserve your chakra." Kakashi threw three kunai at his students. "Use this to mark your progress." Sasuke and Sakura grabbed the kunai and approached the tree, while Naruto stood with the kumo team. "Naruto, aren't you going to try?"
"No need, I know this exercise." Naruto responded.
"Really now?" Kakashi responded. This time Samui chose to respond.
"It's true, when I was sparring with Naruto-kun and the other one," Sasuke seethed, he felt like an extra. "Naruto performed a higher rank jutsu than moody-boy, but he lost less chakra. Plus he was using chakra to increase his speed." Samui said.
"If you need more proof." Kakashi turned to see Naruto standing upside down on a branch. Naruto then did a flip and landed next to Samui. "I also know the water walk."
"I see, well I guess you do whatever you want." Kakashi said.
"Well, little nine. How about you and Samui go into town, while Karui and Omoi get some training down." Killer bee said. Samui grabbed Naruto's hand, making both of them blush. They proceeded to look around. Karui approached her sensei.
"She's into him and she just met him." Karui said.
"Because she studied his eyes and when two warriors of equal strength fight, they can understand each other. Their hearts connected and I can tell little nine feels the same. Now, you two. You need to practice water walking."
Naruto and Samui were exploring the town to get an idea on what they were dealing with. The village was terrible, there were too many homeless kids and destroyed buildings. Many people were sick and hungry. "Gato will pay for this, he's too greedy. Robbing these people of their lives because of his addiction to power." Naruto said. Samui squeezed his hand gently.
"You are right Naruto-kun but how about we help the villagers?" Samui suggested.
"How?" Naruto asked, interested.
"Well, this village is surrounded by water. We could go fishing and cook them for the homeless."
"True, I heard Gato controls the harbor, but I guess we could kill him if he causes us trouble." Naruto said. Samui nodded.
"Excuse me, onii-san, onee-san?" Naruto and Samui turned their attention to a little girl. "Do you have some food?"
Samui approached the girl and patted her head. "We will soon."
Naruto follows up. "How about I show you a cool trick." The little girl nodded. Naruto turned to Samui. "Can you keep a secret?" Samui was confused but nodded. Naruto smiled and turned back to the girl. "Watch this." Naruto started to glow gold. He put his hands together and when he separated, there were butterflies made out of light. Samui was shocked, he had a rare kekkei genkai like her. The butterflies flew around the girl before turning into sparkles around the girl.
"That was amazing onii-san!" the little girl said in excitement.
"I got a trick as well, Naruto-kun, can you keep a secret." Naruto nodded. Samui stepped back. She was glowing white and summoned her white lightning. She used it to make a unicorn. It was running through the air circling around them. Naruto decided to up the game and made a pegasus(AN: I know they don't exist in Naruto). The two horse-like creatures clashed into each other, causing fireworks. A lot of kids were cheering. Samui and Naruto were staring at each other, smiling warmly. Some of the kids noticed.
"Are onii-san and onee-san going to kiss?" the girl asked. The two blondes blushed at the question but didn't respond. They both wouldn't mind if it. In fact they wanted to kiss the other.
"I'd rather take her out on a date first." Naruto said, giving hints and teasing towards his fellow blonde. Samui blushed and smirked.
"Aren't we on a date right now?" Samui responds, teasing back, causing him to blush. The kids looked between the two until.
"Onii-san and onee-chan are going to have babies!" the kids responded, making blood rush to both blondes' faces.
After going to get some fish for the kids, the two blondes headed back to Tazuna house. When they noticed, Naruto's team was covered in sweat and Samui's team was soaked with water. Kakashi turned his eyes from the book and greeted them. "Hey Naruto, you made it back."
"How was the date, Samui-san?" Karui teased.
Samui blushed and smirked. "It was cool, we entertained some kids and went fishing to feed the hungry." As she said that Naruto blushed up a storm, while everyone 's eyes were wide. 'She didn't deny it.' they all thought.
"We didn't bring a fishing rod." Omoi said. Naruto turned his head, while his face got darker because he was blushing up a storm.
"I know, that's why we dived in." Samui responded. Karui narrowed her eyes.
"But you don't have a swimsuit."
"I know, but it was only Naruto and I. so it was ok." Samui said with the same calm look, but a slight blush graced her cheeks. Once everyone processes her words. Kakashi let out a perverted giggle, Kirabi whistled, Karui blushed up a storm and Omoi sucker fell out his mouth. Sakura's whole face turned red, then she glared at the blonde.
"You pervert, how dare you peek at a girl!" Sakura yelled, preparing to slug the blonde but her fist was grabbed by Samui. The kumo blonde narrowed her eyes at Sakura, causing the pinkette to get nervous.
"I don't like it when Naruto-kun is hurt, I don't want you hitting him again. Am I clear?" Samui asked. Sakura nodded her head so fast. Samui let go of Sakura and sat back down next to Naruto, shoulders touching. Her team was shocked, their blonde cold teammate was crushing hard on her fellow blonde.
"I don't get it, why would you?" Tsunami's son, Inari asked, coming into the room. "You're going to die. Gato is too powerful."
"Yeah right, I'm a Uchiha, I'll kill Gato and Zabuza the next time I see him." Sasuke said. Samui looked at him in disgust but she was more disgusted with the fact that Sakura found this attractive.
"Don't worry kid, we will stop Gato and save the village. That's why we're here." Naruto tried to re-insure.
"There's no such thing as heroes. You're just wasting your time." Inari-said.
"You lost someone important to you didn't you?" Naruto asked. Inari looked up in shock. "You have the same eyes as kaa-chan. She lost her fiance and brother during a war and driven by sadness, she left the village. You're lonely, I get it. You're alone but you still have a family, until I was 7 yrs old, I had no one. I was kicked out of the orphanage and lived on the street for 2 years. I had to find food out of the trash can and was attacked, especially on my birthday. I was ignored, the hokage and ramen stand owner was the only one who cared for me until my tou-san found me." Naruto said, causing the girls to gasp and cry, while the jonin sensei looked down in sadness. Naruto walked over to the boy and gave him a hug, causing the boy to sniffle. "It's ok to cry." Inari started to cry and went to his room. "Naruto got up and walked out the door. "I'll be back."
"Naruto-kun, wait." Samui started but killer bee put his hand on her shoulder and shook his head. Samui turned to Kakashi. "Is everything he said true?"
Kakashi sign. "No, you just got the sugar coated version. Naruto life was harder than anyone can imagine." Kakashi said, looking down in shame. Sakura started to cry for her blonde teammate, Bee was quiet, since he understood the life of a jinchuuriki, Samui looked at the door Naruto walked out of, with her hand over her chest..
With Naruto
Naruto was laying in the grass, staring at the sky. "Excuse me? Are you ok?" Naruto turned his head to a black hair girl, wearing a pink kimono.
"Yeah, just thinking. I'm Naruto by the way." Naruto said, sitting up.
"My name is Haku, I'm collecting herbs for my father." Haku said, sitting down with a basket, putting herbs into the basket.
"Really? I never imagined Zabuza as a father when we met." Haku halted at Naruto's words and looked at Naruto, who was smiling at her. "I'm not going to hurt you."
Haku narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Why, I'm your enemy."
"I can tell by your eyes, you don't like to hurt others. You're gentle and been through pain. Your eyes are the same as mine." Naruto said. Haku lowered her guard.
"I saw you fight Zabuza-sama, what drives you to become strong?"
"I need to be strong, to protect my precious people. I was an orphan until 7 years ago when I was adopted. I was kicked out of the orphanage at 4 and hated by the villagers for something out of my control. But I refused to give in to hate and chose to become my hokage to protect my home." Naruto said.
Haku smiled at the blonde's words. "That's very admirable. I serve Zabuza-sama because he accepted me and gave me a purpose. I used to have a loving family until I awakened my kekkei genkai. When my father found out, he tried to kill me and my mother. You see, where I'm from, anyone possessing a bloodline is purged and looked at as demons. When my father killed my mother, I killed him. I was alone for a long time until Zabuza found me, I owe him my life."
"I understand, I feel the same way about tou-san. Haku-chan, I know we're supposed to be enemies but can we be friends. No matter the outcome of the fight, I can't bring myself to hate someone like you. You're a good person."
Haku looked at the blonde with a surprise expression and gave him a small smile. "I would like that and for the record, I'm a boy."
"Naruto chuckled. "You're a liar." they both shared a small laugh.
