Chapter 12: Making Enemies

Naruto's Island-Eight Months Later

Naruto was getting ready to depart for the mainland for a supply run. He had come far in his training but seemed to underestimate exactly how much he would end up eating. Learning to use Kurama's chakra took far more energy than he originally thought. He had made good progress though. He could use all nine tails in version-one cloak and was up to five tails in a version-two cloak. He only lost control twice but when he did he had caused some major damage.

He was currently making his way to the mainland heading to a town about 50 miles north of the Land of Hot Springs capital city. This is where he had bought supplies initially and he at least knew where to purchase everything he needed. The trip was uneventful and he made it to the town with no problems.

He got a few strange looks because of the cloak and black Wolf mask he had switched to after leaving Jiraiya in order to not be identified as a member of Konoha's ANBU. It frightened the owners of the store at first but when he paid for everything at asking price with no haggling and left them in peace the saw him as no threat. He figured it would only take him another four months to complete his training and then a month after that to finish the few missions Jiji had given him and he would be able to get home to see Hinata and Anko. He was beginning to think he was falling for both of them and it had left him very confused. As he was mulling the situation over in his head his return trip was about to get very interesting.

Kurama was simply laying in the grass in Naruto's mindscape when he felt another bijuus charka nearby. It was not headed for them but it would pass close by. He wasn't going to inform Naruto until he figured out who it was and what they were doing. As it came closer he realized it was Chomei and that her host was running with a tremendous amount of fear. Her host also appeared to be a young girl only a few years older than Naruto. Making up his mind he spoke to Naruto

"Kit you need to flare my chakra three times. Once quick, once for two seconds, and then quick once more."

'What? Why do I need to do that?' Naruto asked the fox confused at the sudden order.

"DO IT NOW! I will explain afterward" Kurama roared back. Naruto did so, not knowing what had gotten into Kurama, he never demanded such things. After flaring the chakra 'now do you mind telling me what is going on?' He asked the fox.

"My sister Chomei and her vessel are in trouble a few miles north of us. They are running from some people who are intent on killing them. The flare pattern let her know that we are here and will help."

'Oh, I get it. It was a signal. But what if her vessel is a criminal? I can't be killing her pursuers if she is the bad guy in this situation.' Naruto responded.

"We shall cross that bridge when we come to it. It is very painful to be unsealed because of a vessels death. I would save her that pain if I can." Naruto just gave an internal nod. He would try to stop anyone from hurting his own loved ones if it was in his power. So, he turned toward the presence he now felt coming towards him and waited while disabling his seals to put him at full strength but kept his chakra suppressing seal on like he did almost all the time now.

With Chomei-Five Minutes Earlier

'She can't keep this up. She has never used my chakra like this before and it's been three days. I just don't know what to do.' Chomei thought trying to come up with a way to help her vessel. Her vessel had been running for three days and nights straight after they had attempted to kill her for no reason. Now they were both at the end of their rope. She couldn't push much more chakra before it started doing more harm than good and their pursuers were relentless.

Chomei was about to give up when she felt a familiar chakra. Then she felt the flare pattern and nearly made her vessel trip after cheering so loudly in her head. 'Chomei what gives. Have you finally figured out a way to lose these guys?'

"Lose them. No. Get rid of them yes. When I tell you, turn south and sprint for everything you're worth. He is only two miles south." Felling confused she just nodded. She would take anything at this point to just to stop running. 'Wait. Who is he and what makes you think he will help us?'

Chomei's only response was "My brother would never abandon family." The way she said it made her vessel cringe a little. She knew what Chomei meant. Another jinchuuriki was there. "Now Fuu!"

With Fuu turned south and poured as much of Chomei's charka as she could handle into her legs and made for the other jinchuuriki. The moved surprised her pursuers who nearly managed to grab her when she changed directions. With how spread out the were she barely made it past the end of their line. If not for the Biju chakra they would have had her. She started to pull away from them but they knew it wouldn't last. This was the last-ditch effort to get away from them but with the amount of chakra she was leaving behind any decent sensor could follow her.

Just as she was about to the spot Chomei told her he would be, she stumbled and fell from the trees. Her legs had finally given out as she plummeted to the ground. She knew it wouldn't kill her but it would hurt and she was done being able to run. They would catch her, do kami knows what to her, then kill her and she would be too weak to resist. She closed her eyes and waited for the pain.

Instead of pain she felt two arms catch her and suddenly she was moving again and slowly descending through the trees until she knew they were on the ground. Not wanting to look at who her captor was she scrunched up her eyes waiting for whatever they had planned only to hear a deep and gentle voice speak to her.

"Are you ok miss?" Her eyes flew open to see a figure in a black Wolf mask looking down at her. She wanted to scream until Chomei spoke up "It's him Fuu. The one who contains my brother. You are safe he won't hurt you."

"W-who are you?" Fuu asked the masked man. "For now, just call me Wolf…" "Fuu" "Fuu-san. I will explain after we deal with our company." The man told her as they were surrounded by the men who had been chasing her. Wolf recognized them as Taki ANBU. During this happening Fuu had realized that he was holding her bridal style and clutching her to his chest protectively making her blush a little. It made her feel safe. After they had been surrounded one walked forward. He was undoubtedly the leader.

"Thank you for capturing the demon for us. If you would just hand her over, we will be on our way." Said the ANBU. Naruto growled behind his mask hearing what they called her. Only Fuu heard him though.

"What do you mean demon? And why, may I ask, were so many ANBU chasing just one girl?" Asked the mask man calmly while not moving.

"She IS a demon and is to be executed for multiple charges of theft and conspiring to corrupt our village leader." The ANBU replied full of confidence that the man would see things his way. And if he didn't it didn't really matter. The man was obviously no match for them his chakra level was that of a civilian and a weak one at that. Naruto always kept his chakra suppressing seal partially activated to fool people.

"Fuu-san here is no more a demon than a sealing scroll is a kunai. She certainly didn't seal the Nanabi inside herself." This caused the ANBU to back up. This man figured out his words immediately and even guessed correctly on which Biju she contained. "As for the thefts…" He looked down at Fuu for an explanation.

"It was only food since they quit selling me any three weeks ago. I didn't know what else to do. They wouldn't let me leave to go to a surrounding village to buy any food so I had to do something." She said meekly with begging eyes.

"So, she is to be executed because she refused to starve to death?" The question made the ANBU angry. He didn't like being questioned by this man and he certainly didn't have to answer him.

"She has also been corrupting our village leader. She uses he demonic ways to gain his favor." The man nearly shouted.

Sighing Wolf just said "you really are that stupid aren't." It wasn't a question. Enraged at the last statement he signaled another ANBU behind the man to kill him. The ANBU crept up and attempted to stab him only to hit air and the man was gone.

"I see words will not be enough." He said from behind the leader still holding Fuu who was confused at how they had gotten here. It was so fast she was only able to process the feeling of the wind then she was looking at the leader from behind. "Fuu-san here is now under my protection. Return to your village and we shall have no more problems. Take this" he took Fuu's waterfall forehead protector and threw it to the leader, "and tell your leaders she has retired and will not be returning. Leave now and you shall keep your lives. Try to take her and I shall return your heads to your leader." Wolf finished up his threat with an edge to his voice.

"Who do you think you are? We have orders and that little bitch is coming with us and for your little threat so are you. Maybe there's a good bounty on you." The leader sneered. Naruto just sighed and made a sealess shadow clone before handing Fuu to it. The sensor in the group went pale behind his mask. The man had almost no charka signature but in the moment, he made the shadow clone he felt his real chakra level. It was like he reached into a well that had no bottom and pull out the barest sliver in order to make a clone that he knew required a lot of chakra. It was a secret technique of the leaf village but only their strongest ever used it because it could nearly kill most chunins just to make a few.

"Hawk. We should listen to him." Said a rat masked man. Hawk being the leader. "What are you talking about Rat?" Asked Hawk. "His chakra. He is hiding it. When he made that clone, I felt it. Ten jonin using hero water would still pale in comparison to his charka levels." Rat told him hoping he would listen. "You must be mistaken. He is barley a civilian in terms of chakra." The Hawk masked leader replied thinking Rat had lost it completely discounting the part where he said the man was hiding his chakra.

"You should listen to your friend. If you attack me or Fuu-san I will not hesitate to end you. I am willing to let your earlier transgression slide if you just leave." Wolf told them. Having heard enough Hawk ordered four of the other members to attack. Three charged at him while one went for his shadow clone and Fuu. Wolf moved faster than they could see and soon there was four headless bodies on the ground and Wolf standing between them and the rest with a bloody sword. Fuu nearly threw up. The fact that she had only bile in her stomach was the only thing that stopped her. Looking at remaining 16 he asked "does anyone else feel like trying?" he asked only to see them all get into a fighting stance. "I was afraid of that. Fuu-san please close your eyes. I don't want you to have to see this." His voice was gentle but commanding and she closed her eyes.

Wolf quickly went through the hand seal for his newest jutsu and called out "Futon-Wind Blades" with the clap of his hands thousands of invisible blades of air sliced the ANBU force to nothing. They were given no chance to evade as the jutsu came at them much too fast. All Fuu heard were pained screams for a few seconds before everything went quiet. He quickly gathered up all the heads and sealed them away. The piled up the bodies and burned them with a Fireball Jutsu.

"Ok Fuu-san you can open your eyes." When she did she was surprised to see the forest in front of them was destroyed for 40 yards and there was no sign of the ANBU that had chased her here other that lots of blood on the ground.

"Are you injured Fuu-san?" He asked in a caring voice. Fuu just looked at him in awe. "Nothing that won't heal soon. Just really tired and really hungry." She said weakly. "Here," Wolf said handing her a ration bar, "it doesn't taste very good but it's the fastest way to get some nutrition into your system. I will set up somewhere for you to sleep. When you are rested we can talk more. After eating her ration bar and laying down in the tent that was setup for her she fell asleep almost instantly.

When Fuu woke up she felt a little sore but was otherwise doing much better. She saw that the sun had just risen a little over an hour ago, meaning she had slept the rest of the day and the whole night. She slowly made her way out of the tent smelling bacon. When she got out she saw the man she came to know as Wolf and finally took in his appearance. He had a black Wolf mask and was wearing a black hooded cloak. He turned to look at her and held up a plate filled with eggs, bacon and sausage. She hurriedly took it after Chomei once again assured her she was safe with him. After she finished eating she decided she needed to ask some questions.

"Who are you?"

"Call me Wolf for now. Chomei has no doubt told you I am a jinchuuriki as well. After we take care of a few things I will show you who I really am, until then please just be patient. It will only be a few days." He answered.

"What do we have to take care of?" She asked nervously.

"Well, first we have to go to Taki, make your retirement there official, then I will take you wherever you want to go after you know who I really am." He said calmly all the while noticing Fuu's increasingly frightened demeanor.

"But if I go back they will kill me. You saw what they tried to do before. I ran for three days straight without any breaks." She practically yelled.

"That is impressive." He said calmly. While she just gave him a look like he was crazy. "Running for three days non-stop." Fuu just sweat-dropped. 'That is what he got out of that?' she thought before Wolf continued. "But your worry is misplaced. No harm will come to you while you are under my protection. Not if those fools in Taki want to live." He said in a darker tone of voice.

Fuu just repressed a shudder. She didn't really have any friend but all the same she didn't want people to die needlessly. He assured her he would not harm anyone who didn't deserve it and the said no more before setting out for Taki.

Wolf sent a shadow clone telling them when he would be back in around five days and that he would like to meet with the council when he arrived. After some arrangement were made he said he would have a guest with him before he surprised them all when he simply poofed out of existence.

Takigakure-Five Days Later

Naruto had given Fuu a cloak and mask like his so she wouldn't draw any attention. Her cloak was lined with suppression seals to hid who she was. When they arrived, they were quickly brought to the main administration building in Taki. From there it was only a short wait to get into their council room in which all of them had been gathered. He had switched back to his white ANBU Wolf mask so he could more easily be identified.

"First off I would like to thank you for seeing me on such short notice and several weeks early. I had not planned to show up for about 14 days but certain event demanded I move up this visit. I am here as an emissary of the Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato, to discuss a possible treaty and alliance." Wolf started out in a polite while still commanding respect.

"Welcome to Takigakure…" started Shibuki the village leader. "Just call me Wolf for now." "Wolf-san is it possible for you to remove your mask. We would prefer to do business face to face."

"I am afraid I can't do that. I am actually one of two who hold the rank of Special ANBU and as such only my Hokage is allowed to view my face unless I am in his presence and he commands it."

"Very well Wolf-san what is it the message and terms you bring?" Wolf handed him a copy and they were all very pleased with the terms until they read that there was one to be named by Wolf after they decided if they could agree to the rest. It was also made clear that if Wolf's requirement was not acceptable they were under no obligation to keep to the other terms. It was quite generous and would benefit the village greatly.

After ten minutes amongst themselves Shibuki spoke again. "These terms are very agreeable. What is the one you preferred to deliver yourself?"

"It's simple. I just wish to meet with your jinchuuriki to see if they are in good health and being treated properly. If they are then all is well and it would have my approval." Naruto saw them flinch and could feel the awe inspired look behind Fuu's mask. He would have been here in two more weeks to make sure she was being treated properly. She couldn't fathom how someone she had never met would care about her. None of them spoke for several minutes. "Is this term a problem?" He asked in a neutral tone."

"Well, as of right now our jinchuuriki is currently out of the village on a long-term mission. We are unsure of when she will be back." Shibuki lied. Fuu couldn't believe what she was hearing. He knew she was being hunted, the chase had started in his office.

"That's ok. If you could give me the area of operation of her mission I will seek her out on my own. I am a pretty decent sensor and tracker." This made them even more nervous.

"I am sorry but we can't give you that information. We still have our village security to think about."

"When do you expect her to be back I could simply return at that time or just wait for her here if that is ok?" Asked Wolf wanting to see how far they would try to go.

"We do not know when she is expected back. It could be several months." Replied Shibuki starting to calm down. He would have months to think up a mission that would be dangerous and warrant a jinchuuriki being away for months. Then he would simply say she died on the mission.

"Well that is to long for me to wait. I should be able to track her down in a week or two. I will start as soon as we are finished here." Wolf just watched the sweat roll down the sides of their heads. They didn't want him poking around in this matter.

"But you could place her in unnecessary danger if you interfere. I must implore you to let her be." He really didn't want Konoha to back out of a deal that would make them very wealthy in a few years.

"Don't worry I won't put her in any more danger than she was." When the ANBU said 'was' several caught that and wondered just what he meant. Wolf just turned to Fuu and signaled her to remove her mask and cloak. Hesitating for a moment until Chomei reassured her she revealed herself to the council. "Now, would anyone care to revise their story?" This time he was not polite. The Waterfall council had no idea what to say. She had been standing there the whole time and heard every word of their deceit. Before they could regain their wits, Wolf continued.

"I found her being hunted by 20 ANBU from your village. I assumed they had to be traitors after speaking with them." He explained the entire conversation with them. "Am I to believe that what they said was the truth?" Fuu meanwhile had been in a nervous sweat. He was laying out everything they had just lied to him about and they could not refute it. She was worried they may have a violent reaction.

"And what exactly happened to my ANBU? The ones you describe have not been seen in over a week" Asked Shibuki a little upset that this emissary from another village would dare question how he ran his village.

"So, are you saying they really were following orders?" Wolf asked in a menacing tone.

Now Shibuki was not a stupid man. A coward maybe, but not stupid. "I am not about to release any information about any mission any of my ANBU may or may not have been performing." Replied Shibuki thinking that he had sidestepped the question.

"Well in that case if you must know they are all dead." Wolf replied with no emotion. Shibuki stiffened as did the rest of the council. Losing 20 ANBU in a village the size of TAKI was devastating. That was just over a fifth of the entire ANBU force. Wolf continued, "After I told them Fuu-san was under my protection after I realized what and who she was they attacked me. I reacted in self-defense. Nothing more nothing less. Here," he said taking out a scroll, "is a scroll containing their heads and masks. I destroyed their bodies to save you the trouble of having to send a team to do it."

"You have the nerve to come in here after killing over a fifth of my ANBU, bringing back only their heads, and ask for a treaty. Not only that but mislead us while you know all along that the person you seek is standing right beside you." Shibuki was now yelling.

"You, and they, didn't leave me much of a choice and you sat there and lied to my face about it. You are the only ones in the wrong here in any way. I gathered a little info before this meeting and I can say without fear of contradiction; you are a coward."

Having heard enough Shibuki exploded "ANBU SEIZE THEM. KILL HIM SHE IS TO BE IMPRISIONED UNTIL WE CAN FIND A SUITIBLE VESSEL TO HOLD OUR WEAPON." With that order 30 ANBU rushed them attempting to carry out his orders. Naruto knew he could not kill men simply for following the orders of a coward even though it seems he had already done so earlier which he now felt very bad about. He just put his hand on Fuu's shoulder and activated his eyes then whispered "Kumai."

AS soon as they became intangible several ANBU stabbed at wolf only to pass right through him barely managing to miss each other in their surprise. The two that tried to grab Fuu ran face first into each other almost knocking themselves out. After spending over a minute trying to touch the two in some way it became clear that it would not work the ceased their actions.

"That Shibuki was the action of a coward. Now if you are quite finished I would like to get back to business. Seeing as how you attempted to attack and kill me for my actions, even though I have the right to defend myself and I have diplomatic immunity not to mention this all took place in the Land of Hot Springs and not the Land of WaterFalls, I have some terms that you will agree to if you want to live to see tomorrow." With this he released his chakra masking seal and flared in making the floor crack. He also raised his killing intent so high all the ninja in the room had a hard time standing let alone moving while the civilian's minds couldn't handle it and the passed-out foaming at the mouth. They now understood just where they stood with this man and Fuu was absolutely astonished. He had been hiding all of this the entire time.

"I have offered Fuu-san a new home in Konoha if she wants, but promised to get her away from here no matter what. You will grant her a pardon and a free retirement from Taki's shinobi forces without prejudice so she may go where she pleases without having a price on her head or being considered a missing-nin. These are my terms." Fuu had started to sob and Wolf had turned away from Shibuki to comfort her.

"Fuu-san look at me. It's going to be ok. Sometimes we learn that people we thought cared are really just cowards with a title trying to protect their power." Fuu sniffled a little before responding, "it's not just that. This is the only home I have ever known. I really wanted to make them see me as something other than Biju sealed inside me."

"I know but sometime one door closes and a better one opens. It's just hard to see sometimes." Naruto comforted her.

"I can't just let you take the Nanabi from Taki. We would be without our greatest weapon." Shibuki managed to get out in between labored breaths.

"The Biju are not weapons. They are living beings that deserve respect. When Fuu-san dies of old age after living a long happy life surrounded by her friend and possibility family. If the Nanabi wish to return her it will." Wolf responded. "Besides you don't have a choice. You can't risk war with Konoha and it would just cruel to force Fuu-san to remain where only pain and hatred await her. Not to mention I am sure you would try to execute her before I even made it halfway to the border if I let her stay." He was once again flaring his KI to get his point across.

"Very well. I will release Fuu from her all duties and allow her to go free without prejudice. But I will also be declaring you 'persona non-grata' in the Land of Waterfalls. Should you set foot in our borders again after leaving you will be killed on sight. Do you understand?" Wolf just nodded and replied "You can try" much to the irritation of Shibuki and the others.

"Also, you will not allow what happened here to spread. If people in her new village find out about her I will know it is from this village and there will be hell to pay." Fuu was just in awe of what he was doing for her. He fulfilled every promise he made to her on their way there.

Quickly getting everything together for Fuu he had all the papers made up and signed. Within 20 minutes Fuu and Wolf were leaving the gates of the village. Fuu with a sad smile. Sad to be leaving the only home she ever knew and happy to be free at last.

"So, Fuu-san where would you like me to take you?" She was brought up short. She knew he said she would be free but she thought that meant free to join Konoha.

"Aren't you taking me to the leaf village?" She asked confused.

"I will if that is your wish but I will not force you. I told you before I do not go back on my word and I said I would take you wherever you wanted to go." That sealed it for her. If there were more people in Konoha like him then that is where she wanted to live. "Take me to Konoha."

"As you wish. I have a few months left of my missions and will only be able to take you as far as seeing the gates. I will send word of your arrival and have everything prearranged before we get there."

"So, will you show me who you really are before?" Fuu was really curious. IT also just now crossed her mind that Chomei had never said which Biju was sealed in him.

"Tomorrow after we are in Fire Country. We are being followed right now. Seems that coward really wants me dead." With that they increased there pace.

Outside Konoha- Four Days Later

Naruto bid Fuu farewell once they got in sight of the gates. He had shown her his true identity and told her the penalty for revealing it. She swore to never do so she was far too grateful to him for everything he had done. She was no longer sad about leaving Taki after he told her that nobody would know of Chomei unless she told them. He gave her two letters with names on them and said she would most likely meet them soon as they would be her new neighbors. He then gave her a scroll with a seal in the shape of a wolfs head to give to the gate guards and she would be let in right away.

So, she found herself approaching the gates when sure enough she was stopped by the eternal chunin duo:

"Halt. State you name and business here in Konoha." Called out Izumo.

"My name is Fuu and I was told to give you this and you would understand." She said handing them the scroll. They Instantly called forth a squad of ANBU. At first Fuu was scared until she heard the exchanged between them.

"She has a wolf scroll." Izumo said to the ANBU who just nodded and turned to the rest of the squad.

"She is to be protected at all costs and escorted to the Hokage." He turned to face her, "whenever you are ready Fuu-san I will happy to show you the way." Fuu was defiantly not used to being treated this way. She was not being stared at with hate or fear. She was being respected and considered important and she hadn't even actually entered the village yet. She just nodded to the ANBU and followed him not trusting her voice not to crack.

It was a decent walk through the village to the tower. She realized that people were smiling at her and some of the boys were even checking her out. She was rather proud of her figure. She was 16 and about 5'6" tall, toned like any good kunoichi, with a generous C-cup bust. Dressed in her usual outfit (A/N: If you haven't noticed I don't really describe anyone's outfits because as I read stories I find myself just picturing them how they are in the Anime and Manga. I only describe it if it is radically different and then only a brief description because everyone's imagination is going to be better than what I come up with.) which showed off her body she didn't know how to describe the feeling she got from it. She wasn't sure she liked it. Naruto had looked her over but she knew his had been a caring look and was mainly making sure she wasn't injured. Chomei snickered in Fuu's mind 'She doesn't even see she is getting a little crush on Kurama's vessel' thought the seven tailed Biju. Fuu just Ignored it as they were entering the tower.

After a short wait and being shown into the Hokage's office she saw him dismiss his ANBU and do a few hand signs before the walls glowed a light blue for a second. Then he addressed her. "You must be Fuu." He started in a kind old voice that made Fuu feel comfortable. She just nodded in response.

"Naruto told me you would be here today. He told me what happened in Taki and before. I am sorry you had to go through that." Fuu just quietly thanked him for his kind words. He didn't tell he was a little mad at Naruto for the whole situation but had none the less agreed with his actions.

"That leads me to the reason for this meeting. Naruto told me you might be interested in becoming a Shinobi of Konoha. Now before you respond know that you will never be forced to be a ninja. If you wish to remain a civilian and take up a normal peaceful life I will not stop you." He could see the confusion in her eyes.

"You mean you would let a jinchuuriki just be a civilian and not want to use them as a weapon.?" Fuu though all villages were like that. Heck Naruto was probably the strongest person she had ever met so she had no reason to think differently. He could see what Fuu was thinking.

"Naruto chose to be a ninja. It has always been his dream. He wants to protect his friends. But Konoha has never used its jinchuuriki as weapons. Not to brag but we have won all three wars and never used them to do it. I would never start now." He answered in a jovial tone.

"I think I would still like to be a ninja. I always wanted the respect and adventure that comes with it even if I have to deal with the not so glamourous parts." She said with a smile that slowly turned to a frown.

"Very well. Naruto has told me you were a chunin in Taki I am willing to give you a chance to earn that ranks here with a test. Of course, you will have a six-month probationary period just like anyone from another village would. It's not that I don't trust you it's just to give your new comrades a chance to get to know you and build trust in you. Beside because of some somewhat recent changes to our academy most our Chunins are about two years older than you and our academy graduates are your age." He just gave her a look that said don't ask when she went to question him on why. After giving her papers to sign and getting everything squared away he gave her the address of her new home.

She was shown to her new place and was rather skeptical seeing the outside. It looked old and run-down. She made her way to the top floor and it still didn't seem to look any better. She was beginning to feel like she had been fooled because this looked no better than where she lived in Taki. When she got to her apartment number and opened it she couldn't believe it. The inside looked like it was part of a brand-new building. Everything was new and all the furniture was there. She just stood in the door shell shocked. Why did the outside look so run down when the inside was so beautiful? As she was staring she became aware of a presence beside her and tapping her on the shoulder. "W-What" Fuu said as she became aware the person next to her was speaking.

"I said what are you doing here? This is a private building." Looking at the person she quickly realized this was one of the girls that Naruto had described. From the eyes, she determined it must be the former Hyuuga named Hinata. He never really elaborated on why she was a former Hyuuga. Hinata for her part was trying to stay calm. The Hokage had sold the building to Naruto a few months before he left and he made it a safe and comfortable place for all of them going so far as remodeling all the upper apartments and replacing all the appliances. Hinata and Anko had insisted on paying but he said he would just get his money back when they had all moved out and he rented it out.

"Oh, I'm sorry my name is Fuu. You must be Hinata." Hinata just gave he a curt nod. "Naruto asked me to give you this," she held out the letter with Hinata's name on it and it was gone so fast she didn't see Hinata move.

"How do you know Naruto and why are you here?" Hinata wasn't taking any chances when it came to her man. 'Wait when did I start thinking of him as "my man"?' She thought before clearing her head.

"Wolf rescued me and brought me here." That had been enough for Hinata to grant her a little leeway. She opened the letter and read it. With her Byakugan on so she could also see Fuu. It explained what happened that lead to Fuu being there when he would be back and it ended with 'I can't wait to see you and Anko again. It feels so lonely without you here.

Missing You, Naruto'

Hinata was so happy she could burst, Naruto would be home in a few months or less and really wanted to see her. She wanted to see him too. She did a complete 180 with Fuu and quickly welcomed her. She explained how only her, Naruto, and a Special Jonin named Anko lived here and that Naruto actually owned the building. Fuu was in shock. He set her up in a beautiful apartment that he owned and her new neighbors would most likely be friendly seeing as they were good friends of Naruto and it was obvious they knew he was a jinchuuriki.

Hinata help Fuu settle in and showed her everything in the apartment. She offered to show her around town when she wanted. After saying good bye to Fuu she headed back to her own apartment to clean up and make dinner all the while thinking about Naruto's return. She and Anko had a big surprise for him when he got home.

With Naruto

Naruto was heading this time towards Water Country. He figured that he could find a nice Island close to the Land of Noodles that was uninhabited and so he would have a shorter trip home. He also wanted to see if the civil war in the country was over. He found an island that seemed to be peaceful and deserted and set up his camp. Tomorrow he would start training again hoping to finish it soon. Little did he know peace was the last thing he would find in Water Country.

A/N: So now Fuu has been introduced. I had to write the Taki scene three times cause it just felt to contrived the first two times.

So, Follow, Favorite, Review. Let me know if you guys are liking the direction this is going. It's going to start getting darker around the (spoiler alert) first exams chunin exams which are still a couple chapters away.
