Chapter 2

"Who are you...are you one of the grave robbers?" The blonde haired ninja asked while keeping caution to Fuka's coming response.

"My name is Fuka...and you should leave this area and find your friends. I don't want to hurt you but I will if you don't heed my warning." Fuka's response shocked the blonde haired ninja due to the fact of not expecting to hear such a thing.

"...My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I don't want to fight you either but my misson is to retrieve the stolen coffins of the members of the 12 guardians. And from that answer you must be one of the grave robbers...why are you doing this.." Fuka was surprised at Naruto's answer and was really expecting a arrogant and cocky response but instead got a caring and somewhat sympathetic one.

"Because I have no choice naruto...Furido-sama is all I have and I must do as he says..i guess we have to do this." Fuka now begun to stare at the ground not sure why she was feeling sad for having to fight an unknown ninja that she just met and do not have any knowledge of.

"Wait there must be another way..we don't.." naruto was cut off as the ground inches in front of him formed a spike and shot at his chest and narrowly dodged it."

"Please don't make this harder than it has to be Naruto-san"

They both got into ready stances with both bearing a look of guilt of what must be done for their duty.

Taju kage bushin no jutsu

A large number of clones now appeared in front of Fuka as she was still trying to comprehend the ability to create a mass number of clones.

"Alright here we go!" All clones shouted in unison as they charged Fuka. She begun to perform various swift and flexible strikes and dispelled a majority of clones until two clones managed to grab her heels and allowing another clone of naruto to deliver a strike to Fuka's stomach.

"Its over..Fuka..." Fuka's body fell life less into the blonde arms until shortly puffing into a replacement log.

Fuka reappeared standing on the ceiling of the corridor swiftly moving through hand signs that we hard to make out due to the speed of its performance.

Futon: Hanachiri mai

"A wind style technique I thought she could only use earth based attacks!" naruto had little time to think as the violent cyclone of sakura petals ripped through the corridor and due to its narrow spacing it teared through the clones in a swift moment.

The jutsu ended and it revealed walls shattered and petals softly flying through the breeze of the typhoon and a blond shinobi lifeless on the on the cold floor of the cave.

"n..n..naruto" Fuka dropped down from the ceiling by disrupting the flow of chakra in her feet and walked to the body cautiously hoping she hadn't killed her opponent in her petal storm.

She looked down at the unconscious blonde shinobi with a look of concern for his well being.

"Did..did I kill him." a small tear was beginning to form as she knelt down to check the pulse of Naruto.

"Hes...dead..im so sorry it had to turn out this way Naruto-san...i didn't mean to kill you..please forgive me." Fuka did not understand why she felt this way for naruto and was staring at his face closely for a longer than necessary period of time.

"hehehe...he was kinda cute...i wish I could hear your voice again naruto..kun." she softly chuckled to herself with guilt as to her sudden realization of feelings for the blonde.

"umm...kun" Fuka swiftly rose and turned around to see a smiling Naruto behind her.

"But..but..i..killed you..." Fuka was at a loss for words at the fact of naruto being alive after she checked a perfectly duplicate of him on the ground.

"hehehe I can use my wind affinity to control my clones resistance to dissipate and its breathing factors. And more importantly I didn't know you felt that way about me hehehe."

Fuka was beat red and was fuming at the fact of her falling for a trick and looked at naruto with extreme ferocity.

"Making me look like a fool. Your gonna pay for this Uzumaki!" Fuka charged at Naruto swiftly intent on beating naruto to the inch of his life but was stopped upon hearing a voice of a unknown ninjas approaching"

"Naruto are you ok?"

The voices revealed to be a kunoichi and 2 male ninja.

Doton ganchuro no jutsu

"Sakura,Sai, Yamato-Taicho" As if on cue a earth cage formed and trap the three and Naruto simultaneously upon finishing his sentence, Fudo and Fuen appeared next to Fuka revealing to be the cause of the stone pillar.

"Fuka finish off this little shit while we take care of the rest of them" Fudo said with a sickening tone as they walked passed Naruto's stone confinement to the cell of the other three captured shinobi.

Fuka was motionless at the situation now that she found herself in until a wall on the right of them was blasted revealing a boy in monks garb on top of the rubble"

"well looks like you needed my help after all." The boy had dark hair, short dark blue hair, and peerless brown eyes. He wore a monk's garb that was white and dark blue and common villager sandles.

"Sora you idiot what took you so long" Naruto shouted form the miniature stone prison only to be cut off by now the ceiling being blasted through causing Fudo to lose control over the technique and released the leaf trio and Naruto.

"We the fire temple has come to assist!" 8 monks dressed in similar garb that Sora was wearing appeared on top of the newly built hole on top of the ceiling.

"my my I think we bought enough time for Furido-sama. I say its time to retreat" Fuen said with a hand on her chin pretending to be not fazed by the situation they found themselves in.

"Ok lets move" with that Fuen and Fudo shunshined out of the area. Fuka gazed at Naruto somehow knowingly they will meet again and not on friendly terms and it caused her to have a look of sadness that was only noticed by Naruto and Sora. She swiftly shunshined after Fudo and Fuen.

"Oi you know her don't you" Sora asked naruto and gotten the attention of Yamato,sakura, and Sai.

Naruto was in deep thought about what will happen next time they meet and earned him a look of sadness and walked passed his team and out of the maze leaving everyone in question to what was now his ordeal.
