Day 3:

-Naruto's apartment

Miranda awoke to the sound of pouring rain. Naruto was sprawled out across the bed wearing the same orange jumpsuit he had fought Neji in. "In a strange sort of way, he is kinda cute. This could be fun." She tip-toed across his bedroom, quietly opened the door to the bathroom and peered inside. There were clothes scattered everywhere, which was to be expected given the state of the rest of his apartment. What was worrisome was the fact that his wardrobe seemed to consist entirely of that horrendous orange jumpsuit. "Well… at least he is consistent."

Miranda stripped off her clothes and stepped into the shower, jumping backwards as the unexpectedly cold water startled her, "This planet clearly hasn't invented instant water heaters." When the water warmed she stepped in and began to think. "Despite being amazingly strong, Naruto doesn't appear to have any friends. Other than Sakura dropping me off, no one has come to his apartment. Even after beating Neji, no one came to congratulate him." Miranda bent over to pick up a frog shaped bar of soap. "His loneliness might make seducing him a lot easier." A feeling of guilt swept over Miranda but she quickly dispelled it and carried on with her plan. As she began soaping herself up Miranda's hand traveled up her stomach, briefly lifting one of her large breasts and marveling at the pleasant weight of it. "Well I guess my genetically perfect body will come in handy."

Miranda turned off the water but didn't get out of the shower. She looked at her finger and focused, causing the tip to turn blue and allowing her to telekinetically poke Naruto in the face. She heard Naruto sit up, get out of bed and walk towards the bathroom. "This will be like taking candy from a baby." Naruto entered the bathroom and walked over the sink, apparently unaware of Miranda's presence. Miranda suddenly stepped out of the shower, soaking wet and completely nude. Naruto turned his head towards her, dropping his toothbrush as he caught sight of her. She pretended to be embarrassed but purposely took several seconds to cover herself as Naruto gawked.

"O my god! I'm really sorry about that, I didn't hear you enter the bathroom." A red faced Naruto stammered out something to the effect of "no problem" before quickly turning around and dashing out of the bathroom. "Well that seemed to have the desired effect." Miranda dressed herself and left the bathroom. Naruto was sitting on the edge of the bed looking rather uncomfortable. The only sound in the room was the pouring rain.

"Sorry, I didn't hear the shower running."

"Don't worry about it, it's no problem."

Miranda sat down next to Naruto. "So what are you up to today? I'm sure people must want to hangout with you after watching you defeat Neji."

"Uhh… no not really, Sakura or Kakashi will probably congratulate me, but I doubt anyone else will. I'll probably end up training all day."

"Wow, you must be really dedicated, that's impressive. Actually… I don't have any plans for the day so do you mind if I tag along?"

"Um… I guess not, it'll be pretty boring to watch though."

"Well I'm sure it'll be better than nothing."

Miranda waited for Naruto to prepare himself then walked out the door after him, following him to his training spot deep in the woods. The rain had stopped, which made the awkward silence that had followed them from Naruto's apartment more noticeable. They arrived at a clearing in the woods and Naruto immediately began his rigorous training. Miranda looked around, taking note of the kunai scars on the trees and burnt grass.

"How long have you been training here?"

"Since before I graduated from the academy. I like it, it's peaceful"

"Is there any reason why you picked this area? I don't think you need to travel quiet this far into the woods to find a peaceful clearing."

Naruto was silent for a while, but he eventually spoke. "When I first started training here everybody hated me. Training here was how I escaped from all that. I chose a spot this far in the woods so I would be completely free of all the people who made my life miserable."

"Is there any reason why you still come here?

"Mainly habit at this point."

Miranda sat down on a tree stump and looked down, watching a caterpillar walk across her feet. "I wonder if "habit" is the real reason why he comes here? It's likely that he comes here because he still doesn't have any friends. O well I shouldn't get to attached, just focus on the mission" Miranda looked up, watching Naruto train, hoping to gain some insight into how he defeated Neji. "Should I ask him about the nine-tails? No… that would be suspicious, I'm supposedly just a random civilian, I shouldn't even know about the nine-tails." Miranda didn't learn anything about the nine-tails but she did learn two other important pieces of information. 1) The only thing more painful than doing 500 squats, 1,000 pushups and 2,000 sit-ups, is the boredom of watching someone else do 500 squats, 1,000 pushups and 2,000 sit-ups. 2) Naruto seemed to be unnaturally driven for someone his age, it reminded her of herself at that age.

After what seemed like an eternity Miranda finally asked Naruto how much longer he was going to be. He paused then told her that he was about 1/3 done.

"Holy shit, maybe I really should have done something else today." 20 minutes of counting the beads of sweat on Naruto's forehead, did little to cure Miranda's boredom. "I could tell him that he looks strong enough already and that training more will only fatigue his body. No… he is too dedicated and stubborn for that to work. I could try sighing and looking excessively bored, passive aggression is always a good solution. But he is way too unobservant and socially clueless for that to work. What to do…?" Images of dirty ramen bowls lying around his room filled her mind. "It's a long shot, but he does appear to have an unnatural love for ramen."

"Hey Naruto, I'm kinda hungry do you wana eat?"

In a labored voice Naruto responded, "I can't eat until I'm finished training."

"I saw ramen packages all over your room. Do you wana go get ramen somewhere?"

Just as Miranda finished her sentence it began to rain again.

"Looks like the rain found us again. You sure you don't want to go get ramen."

Naruto hesitated, "I guess I've done enough for the day, so sure why not."

The two ran together towards Ichiraku Ramen Bar, dodging the citizens of Konoha as they charged down the street. As they approached it, Teuchi waved and called out to Naruto. Ayame was already preparing ramen in preparation for his order.

"So Naruto, are you going to introduce me to your new friend?"

"O yeah, sorry, the thought of ramen excited me so much that I forgot. This is Miranda, she is new to Konoha so I'm showing her around."

"Well you made a great choice, you can't give someone a tour of Konoha without taking them to the best ramen bar in the fire nation."

"This was actually her idea."

"Well I guess she has great taste." Teuchi turned towards Miranda.

"So what brings you to Konoha?" Miranda began to speak but Naruto interrupted.

"She is from a small village to the east of Konoha, they were recently attacked and she was sent to try and get help from Konoha."

Teuchi laughed, "And you're the help? I'm not sure if that's a blessing or a curse. Well, at least that explains why such a beautiful woman is walking around with you." Naruto looked like he was about to leap over the table and strangle Teuchi.

Ayame spoke up, "Father! Naruto is a great ninja and I'm sure he will be very helpful to them. Won't you Naruto."

"Yes, I definitely will." Teuchi and Naruto filled the next several minutes with small talk as the two of them finished eating. At the end of the meal Naruto stood and offered to pay, which was fortunate because Miranda didn't have any money that was accepted on this planet. Ayame smiled and waved as the two left the ramen bar.

"So father, do you think they're a couple?"

Teuchi laughed, "Not a chance, no way Naruto could land a woman like that."

In spite of Teuchi's opinion, Miranda and Naruto did unintentionally look somewhat like a couple as they walked back towards Naruto's apartment.

It was pouring now, but despite that the walk back to Naruto's apartment was much more pleasant than the walk away from it that morning. As soon as they were a good distance away from the ramen bar Miranda spoke up.

"Thanks for lying for me Naruto. Explaining the actual situation would have been complicated."

"No problem, I figured people might be suspicious of you if they knew that you were an unidentified foreigner."

Naruto saw Miranda shivering and the two increased their pace, quickly arriving at Naruto's apartment. Naruto opened the door and let Miranda in first, taking note of her soaking wet clothes.

"So… any chance you have a change of clothes?"

"No, I'm afraid I don't."

"You can borrow something of mine." Naruto smiled, "Don't worry, I have clothes besides orange jumpsuits."

Naruto opened his closet, taking out a pair of shorts and a white t-shirt with a giant green toad face on the front.

"Is this good?"

"Yeah that's fine. Thanks a lot."

Miranda went into the bathroom, taking off her clothes and slipping on the frog shirt. It was rather ridiculous looking but Naruto was the only one who would see her so she didn't care. She tried to put the shorts on but her hips were too wide for them. "I guess this will have to do." She had almost completely forgotten that she was supposed to be seducing Naruto but standing in her underwear reminded her. "Well, this will help with that particular aspect of the mission I guess." Miranda walked out of the bathroom wearing Naruto's shirt and her own underwear.

"Your shorts didn't fit, I hope you don't mind if I walk around like this."

Naruto blushed, "Of course not."

"At least the awkwardness is slightly less intense than this morning."

Miranda sat next to Naruto on the bed, the two made small talk for the rest of the afternoon and into the night. Miranda could see Naruto checking her out every time he thought she wasn't looking. Eventually, Naruto gathered enough courage to put his hand on her bare leg only a few inches below her panties. Miranda pretended not to notice, continuing the conversation as if nothing had happened. After several more hours of talking, Naruto finally asked Miranda if she had really lost her memory.

"Yes, I really did lose it. I'm hoping that it comes back soon but I'm worried that it might not. I like Konoha but I don't belong here, I need to return to my original village, wherever that is." It pained her to lie to Naruto but she couldn't compromise the mission.

"Your story seems pretty unlikely but for some reason I believe you. I'm a pretty good judge of character and I don't think your lying."

Naruto yawned, "I'm getting pretty tired, I think I'm gonna go to sleep."

"Yeah, me too." Miranda paused. "That mat was pretty uncomfortable, do you mind if I sleep in your bed?" It was her most aggressive push yet, but based on Naruto's ogling of her body she didn't think he would reject her.

Naruto seemed stunned, it took him several moments to manage a comprehensible sentence.

"Yeah, that's fine with me. Just don't hog the sheets."

Naruto took off his orange jumpsuit and climbed under the covers.

"Your frog boxers match my frog t-shirt."

Naruto turned his head to see the frog shirt tossed on the floor and Miranda getting under the covers wearing only a bra and underwear. He soon learned that it was difficult to sleep with a raging erection.
