After Naruto and his new friend had left Sakura and the others behind, Sakura took the opportunity to examine the humongous monster they had left behind. The pink haired girl decided to collect some more samples so they could determine what exactly this thing was and what more they could learn about Naruto's new friend. Carefully checking if the thing was actually dead, she moved towards its stomach or what was left of it. Sakura grabbed a few vials from her bag, she then began collecting a few liquid samples. Kiba and Hanabi watched as the pink haired girl bravely went near the giant monster's stomach to obtain a bit of evidence, Kiba clutched his nose as the monster's stench was unbearable for his sensitive nose and his eyes were ready to burst into tears.

"Man, that smell! It's disgusting!"

"Well this should be enough, I'll get this to Master"

As Sakura safely placed the vials back in her pouch she motioned her team to move out. Hopefully they would give her some answers about the armored woman, she had yet to see the woman behind the armor but she could tell she wasn't someone Sakura could easily trust. The team nodded and fled the area, when Sakura and her team left the scene they failed to notice the Metroid babies moving towards the carcass.

Meanwhile both Naruto and Samus were making their way towards the village. Naruto with a big happy smile practically jumped around along side the 'Armored woman'. As Naruto blabbed about how excited he was to give her the tour of the village, Samus was checking up on her currents status. While in her suit, she scanned her energy reserves.

"Shields aren't too low but still my body feels worn out after that beat down I took..."

She sighed barely catching the blond next to her ask her something. "I'm sorry Naruto, I wasn't listening what was that?" Naruto pouted slightly, he had been ignored but that didn't stop him from smiling at her.

"I asked you if you're hungry"

Right that moment Samus stomach choose the wrong time to growl. Hearing her stomach growl through her suit made Naruto's smile grow even bigger into a mischievous one.

"Well that answers my question, trust me you are gonna love Ichiraku ramen! Its the best ramen shop you'll ever come across with."

Deactivating her suit, she nodded and gave him a small smile. "I'm looking forward to it" her eyes then laid at the open giant gates of Konoha. She was amazed at the size of the large size of them, Samus jumped as Naruto startled her. "We're here!" Entering the gates she saw what look like a village working hard rebuilding itself. She was about to ask Naruto when he beat her to it.

"The village is a bit in rough shape, hehehe... but don't worry its still a pretty damn strong one"

As they made their way towards the Hokage's office, the two chunnin guards saw them enter. Both Kotetsu and Izumo couldn't help but to gape at the pair.

"Since when did Naruto get himself a girlfriend?"

"After what he's done, I'm not surprised. I've heard he's got his own fan club now"

"Hah! Knowing Naruto, he probably is unaware of all the girl throwing themselves at him"

"Hope they don't get jealous they got competition"

Both chunnin laughed, the thought of Naruto Uzumaki having his own fan club was pretty hilarious. The thought of him actually having trouble with it was even more hilarious. Walking around the streets of Konoha, Samus was fascinated by this worlds culture everybody seemed very friendly. She noticed how everyone acknowledged Naruto with extreme politeness. Her thoughts lead her to believe he was someone very important, though at first look she didn't think Naruto would be like that. Maybe he was well known because he was very friendly and his personality was very warm. Both then blonds arrived at the Hokage's temporary office, Samus figured that the Hokage was someone of high authority, their leader. She was to be in her most well mannered behavior otherwise things would end up badly for her. Clearing her throat and straightening herself, she readied herself to meet this Hokage that Naruto talked so much about. With one foot to the door, Naruto kicked the door open, startling not only Samus but the blond chugging on a bottle of sake.

"Brat! What did I tell you about barging in here like that!"

"Oh Baa-chan, you just don't want anybody to see you drinking"

The blond waved off casually as the blonde woman behind the desk glared at him. Samus was completely shocked at Naruto's entrance and how he talked to his superiors. She then sweat dropped when she saw him on the floor with a couple of lumps on his head. "Looks like she's no pushover" Tsunade's attention was then adverted to the blonde woman standing in front of the door.

"Oh I'm sorry and who might you be?"

Samus shook her thoughts away and lightly bowed, she was then about to speak when Naruto jumped up and spoke for her.

"She is my friend, her name is Samus Aran and we both like ramen!"

Tsunade raised a her blond brow at this, she had never met someone who loved ramen like Naruto did. Her eyes then examined her attire and realize it was something she had never laid eyes on. Regaining her composure she cleared her throat and introduced herself.

"Please to meet you, I am Tsunade, Hokage of Konohagakure"

"She is not from this village or any other village Baa-chan, heck she's not part of this planet -ttebayo!"

Before Naruto could go any more, Samus decided to cut in. "Please Naruto," she placed her hand on top of his shoulder and gave him a small smile. "I can take it from here" she then stepped forward and properly introduced herself. "My name is Samus Aran, I am a bounty hunter. My mission was to track down a dangerous bio organism called a Metroid. I was eventually lead to this planet, where I encountered Naruto Uzumaki..." the blonde woman glanced towards the smile face Naruto gave her before continuing her story. "It seemed that the Metroid had attached itself to him, I was able to successfully remove it before it killed him"

"Yeah Baa-chan! She totally saved me from that thing!"

Tsunade lightly glared at Naruto for interrupting, the blond shinobi flinched before shutting up. Samus gave Naruto a reassuring smile at his words, then turned back towards the blonde woman.

"We eventually teamed up-"

"After so much begging!"

Tsunade having enough of him, tossed her empty bottle of sake towards the blond making him fall back and effectively shutting him up. The tremendous force Tsunade had put into the throw surprised Samus and mentally sweat dropped at the blond laying on the floor as he groaned.

"Together we were able to defeat the creature and complete my mission but then Naruto..." she hesitated, not really sure how to say her next words. "Invited me to...try out this village's ramen." Samus lightly blushed at her last words, Tsunade caught this and lightly smirked. Standing up from her desk, she walked around it and leaned on the edge of the desk. She crossed her arms and spoke with a serious tone.

"I see. The unidentified thing at the crash site then was that creature and you two were able to defeat it before it could cause any more problems." both blonds nodded, Naruto stood up next to the girl and smiled. "And you wish for permission to visit our village, correct?" again both blonds nodded.

"Well if Naruto trust you then I will do the same as well..." Naruto's eyes widen in excitement before Tsunade finished "You are welcome to our village, Samus Aran"

"Yosh!"

Before she could thank the blonde woman, Samus was suddenly pulled into a tight hug before she was spun around. Tsunade grinned at the girl's expression, she saw Samus stammer protest at being held too close by the blond ninja.

"Alright let's head to Ichiraku, ttebayo!"

"Naruto! She is able to go but you have yet to report! Where is the rest of your team?"

Naruto groaned, he forgot about them and not only that but he still had to get his arm checked out. He rolled his eyes before turning towards the blonde woman. Taking on a sheepish smile and scratched the back of his head.

"Well I kinda left them behind... Hehehe, but only because they were too slow!"

Tsunade gave him a sweet smile before she embraced him. "It's okay, I'll punish them for leaving you behind in the first place" she then looked over towards the bounty hunter woman who was carefully eyeing them, before grinning at Naruto she whispered to him. "First go to Shizune and get check up before going on your date" Naruto's eyes widen, a scarlet blush invaded his cheeks at the Hokage's words. She laughed at the boy and then pushed him towards Samus. Once they were outside Naruto sheepishly smiled at the blonde girl, his cheeks were a shade of pink.

"I just need to go with Shizune-neechan before we can go get that ramen. Hey while we are there she can get a look at you too!"

Before Samus could respond, she was once again pulled by Naruto, he lead the way towards the village's temporary infirmary. Upon arrival they came across a worn out looking Shizune, she gave her best smile to Naruto before greeting them.

"Oh Naruto-kun, good to see you back Lady Tsunade was very worried about you"

"Yeah we just came back from Baa-chan's, anyways she sent us to get check up before we can go to Ichirakus!"

Shizune raised a curious brow at the girl in blue, Naruto slapped his forehead at his stupidity before motioning towards her.

"This is Samus Aran, she's an awesome bounty hunter who likes ramen!"

Shizune nodded politely before extending her hand. "Shizune, please to meet you Samus-san." The blonde girl extended her own hand and shook the dark haired woman's. As soon as they got the introductions out of the way, they entered the small tent and Shizune began treat Samus first behind a screen so Naruto wouldn't see. She was amazed how her body felt more relaxed and her minor cuts and bruises had been healed. She was fascinated by how magically she had healed, apparently they used some strange spiritual energy called chakra. After she was done treating her wounds, Shizune attended Naruto next and unfortunately for him, his condition was much more serious than Samus.

"Naruto-kun, your arm..." she paused, looking at him with worry in her eyes. "You didn't use that Jutsu up close did you?"

The blond couldn't do anything but faintly smile at her, making Shizune sigh. Samus however was completely lost, she couldn't help but to worry a bit as she over heard their conversation.

"Well it isn't in a bad condition but I'm going to have to bandage it up. So please do be more careful and avoid using that Jutsu like that again!"

"Luckily the Kyuubi must of healed him before it could of done any permenant damage"

When Naruto came out of the screen he had his hand wrapped in white bandages. Shizune scolded him not to over exert himself, after they were all done she smiled and bid the blonds farewell. As they walked, Samus was concerned about his arm and decided to ask him.

"Naruto, your arm. Is it going to be okay?"

"Huh? Oh yeah this is nothing"

He winced when he carelessly slapped his arm, Samus noticed this but choose to stay quiet though she wished she hadn't. Samus didn't know how to handle this, she didn't know how to care for people.

Back in the Hokage's office, Sakura and the rest of her team faced a pissed of Tsunade. All were frighten by the Slug Princess' glare even Hanabi. Tsunade tired for the day sighed and slumped back into her seat. Sakura, being the team leader, carefully stepped forward to gain her Master's attention. The blonde woman narrowed her eyes as she rested her cheek on the palm of her hand.

"M-Master, I collected more samples that monster left behind." Sakura said, reaching into her pouch she pulled out three blood red vials. "Along the way however, they some how turned into solid crystals, I'm not very sure how this happened. These are very different from the samples I first collected back at the crash site"

Tsunade took the vials from Sakura, she closely examined one and noticed that it was a bright red crystal as if it was frozen liquid. The bright red crystal made her feel that it was a familiar chakra but not just any kind chakra, she felt demonic chakra. The Hokage's face then became very serious at this and look back towards Sakura and her team.

"Sakura, take this to Shizune. I want her to analyze these samples as well as the ones from before. Tell her I want results as soon as possible."

Understanding the seriousness of her words, Sakura nodded and left with her team to Shizune's camp. When they left, a woman with straight purple hair and a cat mask appeared before Tsunade.

"I want you to bring Naruto Uzumaki, this matter is urgent"

The Anbu woman simply nodded, "And make sure he brings the blonde woman with him, she is not an enemy so do not treat her like one but do be careful" with that being said the purple headed woman disappeared out of the room leaving the Hokage to her thoughts.

"Just what I need more trouble before a war"

Meanwhile finally arriving at the Ichiraku stand, Naruto screamed to the old man before noticing a girl sitting on a stool enjoying her meal. The girl with indigo hair however froze upon hearing Naruto's voice. Her pale eyes widen, she slowly turned trying her best not to faint.

"Oh, Hinata?"

The three just stared at each other before the old man appeared behind the counter. "Oh Naruto! What can I get you?" Naruto snapped out of his thoughts and answered him with two miso soup bowls to start. Then the blond turned his attention towards the girls.

"Hinata! Surprised to see you here!"

Naruto took a seat to Hinata's left while Samus sat to her right. The blond then remember he hadn't introduced them yet.

"Oh I forgot, Hinata this is Samus. Samus, Hinata."

"Hinata Hyuuga, please to meet you!"

The timid girl lightly bowed in her seat as she introduced herself. Samus noticed the girl's uncomforted look, nodding she introduced herself as well.

"Samus Aran, please to meet you friend of Naruto"

Before Naruto could speak, he was greeted by a naked brunette girl with clouds covering her privates. She pouted her lips and winked, blowing him a kiss.

"Mmm... Naruto-sama what do you think?"

Naruto's cheeks reddened at Konohamaru's bad timing, closing his eyes to mask his perverted excitement, Naruto hit the girl upside the head canceling his henge. Samus was surprised to see that the girl was actually only a boy in disguise. She then looked to see Hinata furiously blushing and staring intensely at her lap. While she smiled at the girl's cute expression, she couldn't help but also give a small giggle at both of the boys as Naruto scolded him for using that perverted form. The entire scene was very funny to her.

"Sorry Boss, I just wanted to show you my new and improved Jutsu"

Before he could say anything else, Moegi stomped inside and was radiating a large amount of killing intent.

"Konohamaru...!"

She shook in anger, scaring the boy he took shelter behind Naruto using him as a shield. As the orange haired girl chased around Naruto to get her teammate in a comical fashion, Hinata hesitated to converse with the blonde girl next to her.

"So-So how do y-you know Naruto-kun?"

"Oh we've only just met today" she nervously smile, trying to come up with a way to explain "I guess he assisted me on my mission"

"Konohamaru get your ass over here!"

Moegi screamed, Naruto then finally managed to get the boy away from him making him fall under Moegi's wrath. She grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and glared at him. He was about to get it. Pulling away from her grip, Konohamaru luckily slipped off but managed to bump into Hinata pushing her off her seat. Time slowed for Naruto, his cheeks grew red and he felt a small nosebleed coming. He witness Hinata had been pushed towards Samus, crashing into her making both girls lock lips in a kiss. The same scene when he was twelve was happening before his very own eyes except it was girl on girl not boy on Sasuke. Both of the girl's eyes widen before quickly pulling away.

"I'm so-so so-sorry! I-I didn't mean to- I-I was pu-pushed and I-I really didn't meant for that to...happen"

The dark haired girl trailed off, she felt like she could die in embarrassment. Samus however, didn't panic like Hinata she wore a small blush and told the girl it was fine. Naruto was about to give her a hand but Hinata quickly stood up and ran out of the ramen shack.

"Sorry about that I didn't-"

Konohamaru was bonked on the head by Moegi, she blamed him for making Hinata leave. Pulling on his blue scarf, the orange haired girl dragged the boy away to give him his punishment. Naruto could only scratch his head and wondered what had just happened. He sighed, turning to the only person left, he reached his hand out and helped her up.

"Sorry about that. Hinata can be a little weird but she's very nice and Konohamaru... Well his just a bit of a troublemaker who looks up to me"

"It's fine, I can see you have many friends"

Samus felt a bit of envy, Naruto seemed to have plenty of friends and many people who cared about him, while she didn't have anyone. Her attention was then caught by the whiff of the warm aroma.

"Here ya go, two miso ramen bowls."

Teuchi placed both bowls in front of them, Samus mouth started to water the food in front of her looked incredibly delicious and the smell was unlike anything she has ever smelled before. Both blonds reached for chop sticks only to touch each others hand, Naruto smiled and offered her to go first before he got his. Samus and Naruto were about to dig in until an ANBU shinobi interrupted their meal.

"Uzumaki Naruto the Hokage wishes to see you"

"Aww C'mon can't you see we're about to eat?"

"I am sorry but the Hokage stated this was a matter of urgency. She also wanted you to make sure you bring your friend"

Naruto groaned loudly and slammed his head on the table. He sighed and mumbled something about the day he becomes Hokage interrupting his meal would be illegal, he had no choice but to obey. Samus felt the serious tension the person in the mask made, she suspected something was wrong and it most likely involved her by the way the woman referred to her. The ANBU escorted both blonds to the Hokage's office where they were met with Tsunade and Shizune, both looking very serious. Tsunade looking a bit more serious as her fingers entwined, she stared at both blonds but more at the blonde girl in the blue suit.

"Baa-chan what's the big deal we were in the middle of our-"

"Tell me what are your true intentions with Naruto..."

The question made Naruto confuse, Samus was taken back by it however. She felt the atmosphere become much more tense. Did they suspect that she was going to harm the blond? The blonde girl was about to answer when Naruto cut her off.

"Ba-Baa-chan! What kind of question is that?"

Naruto stuttered, Tsunade noticed the pink blush spread across his cheeks. She wanted to tease him about it but she knew it wasn't a time for such trivial matter. Samus stood forward and told Naruto with a reassuring smile she could take care of herself.

"I know I am a guest in your village and I am to cooperate with you... But I don't see what you could possibly mean by that. Naruto and I are nothing but mere hunters who work together"

"Nothing but mere hunters who work together"

Her words hurt, Naruto was sure they had become friends and hearing Samus say they were nothing but mere hunters working together was very cruel. He decided to bit his tongue for now and get to the bottom of Tsunade's question.

"I see..." Tsunade and Shizune both saw the hurt expression the blond had when the girl had said they weren't friends, Tsunade sighed readjusted her attention to the girl.

"We are going to need you to give us a more accurate explanation of the creature you were hunting down." Tsunade saw the confuse expression Samus had. "We have found out through careful examination that the thing you call Metroid, evolved. Of course, you knew that already didn't you?"

"Yes Metroids do change form after they have drained an unknown amount of life force from living things. The one we defeated, however, evolved at an incredible rate. I am still not sure how it transformed in its final stage that quickly."

Tsunade nodded, it was beginning to make sense to her and if she was right about this then there would be more trouble up ahead. Signaling her old apprentice, Shizune held a tray with two samples for Samus. As she examined it herself she turned her suit on, amazing both of the women. Samus scanned both samples, she was familiar with one but the red one was something new. Tsunade cleared her throat catching her attention.

"As you can see one of these is obviously the same sample the Metroid left behind in the impact crater. The other one, the red crystal one comes from the monster you two defeated."

Samus scan showed that she was telling the truth, the red crystal seemed to have much different properties. It seemed that the parasite had lunched on something quite powerful. She was glad that the thing was good and dead now. Naruto stared at the females as they talked about the monster they had destroyed, he couldn't help but ask as this was confusing for him.

"Okay but this thing is dead so it doesn't matter anymore, right?"

"I am afraid that this thing is far from over"

Samus deactivated her suit, she had her full undivided attention now.

"We suspect that the Metroid had the chance to produce a small amount of offspring."

"It is possible that it could have produced more... I was careless. I should of made sure the area was cleared." Samus said, more to herself. Tsunade shook her head and told her not to blame herself.

"If there are more of those things out there then I suggest we work together to eliminate them. What do you say?" Samus felt she worked better alone and personally she didn't want to get mixed up with other people but seeing how she was way beyond that point she had no choice but to take her offer.

"I'll accept under one condition"

"And what would that be?"

"I would only like to work with Naruto Uzumaki"

This surprised Tsunade, what she was requesting was something she had planned anyways but was glad she beat her to it. Tsunade sighed beforegiving an all to familiar grin, she looked towards Naruto and saw him smiling as well. It seemed he had no objections with her request and was more than happy with it.

"Well then I guess that settles it then, Naruto Uzumaki and Samus Aran, your mission is to find and eliminate any remaining Metroids. This mission is S rank so Naruto, no goofing around go it?"

Naruto nodded making Tsunade smile in satisfaction, he then raised his hand as if he was in class. Tsunade nodded, motioning him to speak. The blond smiled sheepishly, putting a hand on the back of his head, he nervously scratched his head and spoke.

"Can we put the mission on hold until tomorrow? I mean its pretty late and I haven't ate anything...?"

The intense glare radiating from the busty blonde scared Naruto shut. Tsunade however sighed, she knew it was already sun down and sending Naruto out during the current state of the village would be too risky. She couldn't allow him to leave during the night without Kakashi or Yamato.

"You're right. At this moment it'd be too dangerous to send you out. And in your condition it'd be best for you two to rest and start fresh tomorrow" Samus didn't understand why they'd have to wait it out till tomorrow. She felt that she should just do this on her own and start her mission as quick as possible. She couldn't allow it to wait.

"Forgive me but I have disagree, if we don't begin now I'm afraid the Metroids might evolve by then."

Tsunade frowned, she was right the things could be feeding off innocent people. Something however made her doubt that they would grow quickly without that special host. Her eyes laid upon Naruto's confused look, she could see he was both excited and hungry. Figuring out a plan, Tsunade closed her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Please you two rest, Naruto needs it considering his current condition. As for the Metroids, I'll send a recon team and have them scout the area. In the mean time please enjoy Naruto's ramen invitation and relax for the moment."

Samus opened her mouth to speak but no words came. She didn't want to wait, the visit to the infirmary healed her body but she was pretty hungry and that ramen did look pretty damn delicious right about now. Closing her mouth, she slowly nodded with a stoic expression.

"Alright! Let's go Samus!"

Without warning Naruto grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the office, her face jumped in surprise at his sudden move. It seemed Naruto had a habit of dragging Samus without her consent, she stared intently at their hands she didn't really mind holding his hand she actually secretly loved this feeling. Without realizing it, they were back in the ramen shack. Taking back their seats, Naruto called to the old man and order once more like before. Samus decided to start a conversation while they waited for their meal, she had been curious since she had arrive in the village.

"Naruto?" she caught his attention and turned towards her "Yeah?"

"If you don't mind me asking, what is your position here?"

"Wadda ya mean? I'm a Konoha Shinobi"

Samus felt she could of word that better, Naruto being a little bit slow didn't really know what she was talking about. "Well it's just that people seem to be very fond of you. In some way you are a bit famous"

"Oh, that. I'm just really strong and everybody knows me because I was prankster back then. Hehehe"

Naruto masked his terrible past with that lousy excuse, he didn't want her to think he was a loser back then much less know his real status as a Jinchurriki. So he choose to lie and tell her about his recent victory.

"Yeah just a while ago, I defeated this guy who was really really strong like really powerful. That's why the village is a bit messed up"

Samus eyes lid up, she was impressed by his story and the way how he described the guy meant he was a formidable foe. She underestimated Naruto's power and after witnessing it with her own eyes she realized Naruto was indeed real strong. Snapping out of her thoughts she noticed the brunette haired girl behind the counter place the bowls of ramen in front of them. Quickly reaching for her pair of chopsticks, she grabbed a pair and split them apart. Dipping them in she picked up strands of hot noodles, she lightly blew them to reduce the heat before slowly slurping them. For a moment she paused, her mouth and cheeks full with noodles, the taste was out of this world. Samus reached for her spoon especially designed for soup and use it to try the broth. She closed her eyes at the warm taste, the blonde girl found this ramen to be work of heaven's food. In less than a minute she consumed every last bit of her meal. Naruto was right, the ramen wasn't like the regular cup of noodles or packaged ramen she had in her ship. She was about to call out for another bowl when she noticed Naruto was having a hard time eating his. He struggled holding his chopsticks with his left hand as his usual right hand was wrapped in bandages. Samus frowned, seeing him fumble with the utensils and fail to eat his bowl made her want to help him.

"Here let me help"

Without thinking Samus used her chopsticks and grabbed strands of noodles, she motioned him to open his mouth by saying "Ahh" herself. Unaware of her actions, she continued to feed him with a small smile on her lips. Naruto's cheeks glowed red at this, he didn't mind it being fed but was a bit embarrassed. As she blew on the other mouthful of noodles, he couldn't help but to stare at her moist lips they looked so...

"Kissable..."

Naruto without thinking slowly leaned in towards her lips, he's lips never made contact as he heard a loud girly squeal. "Oh my god, you two are so cute!" Naruto snapped out of his trance and looked away from the female in front of him. Samus oblivious to this only paid attention to the young girl over the counter with an eyebrow raised. Ayame waved it off and explained that Naruto usually never let anyone feed him. Samus looked towards Naruto to confirm but couldn't as he was avoiding her gaze.

"What the hell was that? She'd kill me if I actually tried to kissed her!"

After they ate, Naruto gave Samus a small tour of the village or what there was left of it. Samus had learned that the Hokage was indeed the leader of the village and that it was Naruto's dream since he was little to become the next Hokage. She saw that the current Hokage, Tsunade's face was on top of the monument along with the past leaders. She smiled inside, she could already picture Naruto's face up there.

"I'm sure you'll make a great Hokage"

Naruto gave her a foxy grin as he rested his head on his arms and nodded. Before they knew it, time had gone by quick and everyone was already heading off to bed. Both blonds stopped at a bench and sat as they enjoyed the night sky and the stars. For a moment everything was quiet, then Naruto broke it as he was a bit curious about the blond girl from another planet.

"Hey Samus?"

"Yes?"

"I was wondering, how's space like? I mean the planets, you visited different kinds right? How are they?"

Samus was surprised by his question but she figured he'd be a little curious since he has never traveled like she has. His expression was laughable, he looked like a excited child who was talking to an alien for the first time, which in a way it was. Samus looked up in thought and began to think how she could explain it.

"Well it really depends, some are dangerous and are very hostile" she paused and she then looked at Naruto with a warm smile. "Other planets are very beautiful and peaceful... just like this one"

Even with an imminent war coming, Naruto couldn't help but to agree. The moonlight bask them in a cool light as if putting them in a spotlight. They both shared a small laugh, both enjoying this, even though they had just met a while ago they were already becoming close friends. Even if Samus didn't want to admit it, Naruto knew they were friends now. It was late and they had a job to do early in the morning and more adventures waited for them ahead.
