Whiteicewolf: I do not own Naruto
To the people who don't know who Yuki is. Yuki is the rabbit that Haku kept as a pet when he was traveling with Zabuza in the anime/manga.
Recap:
"He's coming towards us, and it seems he's brought something with him" Naruto said as he looked at Gaara who was now walking towards them while carrying an unconscious girl on his back with Yuki right behind him.
"Gaara" They all said in concern as they saw him walk into the cave with the unconscious girl and Yuki.
"Are you okay" Hinata said as she walked over to Gaara
"I'm fine, but I'm not sure about her thou" Gaara said as he put the girl he was carrying down.
"She doesn't seem to have a fever" Hinata said as she felt the girl's forehead.
"Where did you find her, Gaara" Kimimaro asked
"Well I was following Yuki and he led me to her" Gaara said as he pointed at the rabbit
"She looks like she's around our age" Naruto said. The girl had mint green hair and was wearing a dirty white t-shirt and baggy brown plants and black shinobi shoes
"So what should we do" Kimimaro asked
"Well we can't really do anything until she wakes up" Naruto said
"Hey Gaara did you manage to collect any firewood" Haku asked
"I managed to collect a little, since the rest got wet when it started raining" Gaara said as he took out the firewood he collected and showed it to them.
"I'll get started on making the fire, hinata you take care of her until she wakes up, okay" Naruto said, Hinata nodded. After Naruto finished making the fire the girl finally stirred. She opened her eyes to reveal her bright orange eyes, to them.
"You're awake" Hinata said
"Where am I" the girl said unaware of her surroundings
"We're in a cave right now. A friend of mine found you when he was looking for firewood, you weren't conscious, so he brought you here" Hinata said
"You're awake" Gaara said as he walked over to them
"This is Gaara, he's the one who brought you here" Hinata said
"Thank you" she said
"Don't mention it" Gaara said
"Come on I'll introduce you to the others" hinata said as she grabbed the girls hand and led her to where the others were
"Oh, you're awake" Haku said as he saw them walking towards them
"Is it okay for her to be walking around" Kimimaro asked
"Don't worry I'm a fast healer. Oh, my name is Fu" the Fu said
"It's nice to meet you my name is Haku , the one with the white hair is Kimimaro, the one with the purple hair is Ranmaru, the one with the blond hair is Naruto, and the one with the red hair is Gaara, but you probably already knew that" Haku said as he introduced everyone
"My name is Hinata it's nice to meet you" Hinata said as she introduced herself
"It's nice to meet all of you" Fu said and then bowed
"Now, now there's no need to be so formal" Haku said
"How about we have a nice chat over dinner, I'm sure you're hungry" Naruto said. Before Fu could answer her stomach growled.
"Come on let's eat" Naruto said as he each gave them a bowl of soup that they had prepared. A couple minutes later, Fu found out that Haku was not a girl, but a guy.
"T-There's n-no way I mean you don't look anything like a guy" Fu said as she pointed at Haku
"No offense" fu added
"It's okay, I get that a lot" Haku said
"Doesn't it hurt your male pride that you keep on getting called a girl" Kimimaro asked as he ate his soup
"More than you can imagine" Haku said as a depressing aura started to surround him
"Wow I didn't know it was going to affect him that much" Kimimaro said
"Um, is he okay" Fu asked
"Don't worry he'll snap out of it in a few moments" Naruto said as he continued to eat his soup
"Oh" Fu said then she went back to eating her bowl of soup
"So, Fu, where did you live before we met you" Naruto asked as he ate his soup
I guess its okay to tell them, Fu thought
"I used to live in the hidden Waterfall village" Fu said then continued eating her soup
So she used to live in Takigakure, wait back in the cave didn't I read something about that place, Naruto thought
"So how old are you, if you don't mind me asking" Naruto said
"I'm eight years old" Fu replied
"Oh, so you're around our age" Hinata replied
"I guess" Fu said
And she's around our age, wait! I remember now she's- Naruto thought
"So where are your parents" Haku asked
"I-I don't have any parents" Fu said
"You're" Naruto said getting everybody's attention
"Huh?" fu said
"You're the seven-tail jinchuuriki, aren't you" Naruto said. Fu fidgeted and then clenched her fist once she heard Naruto say that
He already found out, Fu thought
"Please answer my question truthfully" Naruto replied
"Yes, I am the seven-tail jinchuuriki" Fu said
Now they're going to hate me, just like everyone else Fu thought
"It's nice to meet another fellow jinchuuriki" Naruto said
"Huh" Fu said surprised
"I agree Naruto it's nice to meet another person who is like us" Gaara said
"Huh?" Fu said still confused
"Oh yeah, we never told you, did we. Gaara and I are jinchuuriki too" Naruto said, shocking Fu
"I hold the Ichibi" Gaara said
"And I hold the Kyuubi, you hold the Nanabi, right" Naruto said
"Yeah, but how did you know" Fu asked
"Yeah, Naruto how did you know that she is a jinchuuriki" Kimimaro asked
"Remember that cave that had information about the Bijuu and the jinchuuriki" Naruto said.
"Yeah" Haku said
"Didn't you guys read the information about the other jinchuuriki and Bijuu" Naruto asked
"No" they said
"While you guys were looking thru the scrolls and books I took a look at what the other Bijuu and jinchuuriki were" Naruto
"Oh" the kids said
"I figured out that you were the seven-tails jinchuuriki, because I read that the Nanabi was sealed inside a girl named Fu that lived in the Hidden Waterfall Village" Naruto said
"Um, if you don't mind me asking what is a bijuu" Ranmaru asked
"Oh yeah, we never did tell you what the Bijuu are, did we" Gaara said
"Nope" Ranmaru replied
"Well Bijuu are large tailed beasts that are basically living forms of chakra. People seal the Bijuus into people so they can use that person as a tool. They can seal the Bijuus into objects but there is only a limited amount of time before the object breaks and the Bijuu is released" Naruto explained
"My father wanted to create the ultimate weapon so he sealed the one-tail into me so I could be the ultimate weapon, but once he found out I couldn't control it he hired people to kill me" Gaara said
"The village where I come from they didn't want an ultimate weapon, they sealed the Kyuubi inside of me because Kyuubi was attacking Konoha and they needed to seal the Kyuubi into a child and I guess I was the only kid they could get on short notice" Naruto said
"Oh" Ranmaru said
"Come on it's getting late. We better get to sleep" Naruto said
"Okay" they said
"Um, Fu" Hinata said
"Yeah" Fu said
"I can lend you some clothes if you want" Hinata said
"I would really appreciate that Hinata" Fu said and smiled. Hinata then gave Fu a dark blue t-shirt and baggy black pants.
"hinata" Fu said getting Hinata's attention
"Yeah" Hinata replied
"You know that Gaara, Naruto and I have a monster sealed inside of us, right" Fu said
"Yes I know" Hinata answered
"Then why, why do you not treat us like everyone else does!" Fu yelled
"Huh?" hinata said
"WHY DON'T YOU TREAT US LIKE MONSTERS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!"Fu yelled
"It's simple, you are not the monster that is sealed inside of you, you are Fu and you are not the Nanabi" Hinata replied
"That's the first time I heard someone say that to me" Fu said
"Well, it's true, come on let's go get some rest" Hinata said
"Ok" Fu replied
The next morning
Fu stirred in her sleep until she finally opened her eyes to see Hinata.
"What" Fu said still half asleep
"It's morning, we made breakfast so hurry up and eat it before the boys do" Hinata motioned towards the boys who were devouring their breakfast of bacon and potatoes.
"Breakfast" Fu said fully awake
"Yeah so you better get up" before Hinata could finish Fu was already right next to the boys devouring a bowl of bacon and potatoes
She's fast when food is mentioned, Hinata thought then she joined the rest in eating breakfast. After they finished breakfast, they started to pack up their stuff. Then Naruto finally broke the silence.
"Hey Fu" Naruto said getting Fu's attention
"Yeah" Fu answered
"Since you're traveling alone why don't you travel with us" Naruto asked getting everybody else attention
"I don't know if that's a good idea" Fu said
If one of the ninja's from Takigakure find me with them, they might kill them, Fu thought
"If you're worried if one of the ninjas from the Hidden Waterfall Village are going to find you, don't worry. We can take care of ourselves" Naruto said
"And besides we've already faced two ninjas before" Haku said
"What are you talking about" kimimaro and ranmaru asked
"It's a long story" Haku said
"And besides I don't think your village is going to miss you if seeing that you ran away" Naruto said
"How did you know" Fu asked
"Come on, you were found by yourself collapsed from exhaustion, your clothes were dirty, and you look like you haven't had a decent meal in weeks" Naruto said
Wow, he's really observant, Fu thought
"You're right I did run away from Takigakure" Fu said
"I'm guessing you ran away because of the hatred the villagers had for you" Gaara said
"You guessed right, it's not surprising you would know why I ran away" fu replied
"So I'm guessing you're going to be traveling with us, right" Kimimaro asked. Fu nodded her head in response.
"Okay, now that we have that settled. Haku, how much longer until we reach the next village" Naruto asked
"I'm guessing about later this day" Haku said
"Okay let's go!" Naruto yelled and then ran off leaving a cloud of dust
"NARUTO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WAIT FOR US!" haku yelled as he ran after Naruto
He's smart, yet he's so immature, Fu thought
"Come on we better follow them" Kimimaro said as he started running after them while carrying Ranmaru
"Ok" the rest said and then started to catch up with Haku and Naruto
Later that day
"Hey Haku how much further" Naruto asked
"Don't worry it's not much further" Haku said then stopped
"Haku what's the matter" Gaara asked
"Uh, nothing" Haku said
"We're lost aren't we" Naruto asked making Haku jump
"No" Haku replied a little too quickly
"We're lost" the rest of them said
"I'm sorry" Haku said
"Don't worry. Since we're lost we'll split up into two groups. Kimimaro, Gaara, Haku and I will be one, while Fu, Hinata, and Ranmaru will be the other" Naruto said
"Ok" the others replied and then split up
"Here Ranmaru I'll carry you" Hinata said as she carried Ranmaru on her back
"Thank you" Ranmaru said
"So why can't Ranmaru walk on his own" Fu asked
"Ranmaru was born with a weak body so he can't walk on his own" Hinata explained
"Oh" Fu said then she looked at there surroundings there was snow everywhere and there were trees and bushes. A plant caught Fu's eye.
Camellias
With the boys
There were walking down the snow covered path and were trying to find out where they were.
"Hey what's that plant right there" Naruto ask while pointing at a bush that had white flowers growing.
"Those are camellias, Naruto, they come in colors of white or red" Haku said
"I never saw a plant like that before" Gaara said as he observed the flower
"I don't think this plant would have grown in the dessert seeing that it's growing in a place that's covered in snow" Kimimaro said
"This flower is different from the others the petals don't fall off one by one the whole flower does" Haku said
"Wow that's pretty cool" Naruto said
"AAAAAAHHHH!"
What was that? The boys thought
"Come on we better go see" Naruto said and the boys quickly ran towards where they heard the screaming.
