BACKLASH

Chapter 5

Forest Meeting

"talking"

'thinking'

-FF/Change POV-

After Sasuke and Sakura left, Naruto decided that it really was the best idea to stay up in the tree so that Sakura wouldn't hit him. He fell asleep after about an hour or so, which is a really bad idea if you're up at the tip top of a tree in a very windy place.

The wind knocked the sleeping Naruto off the tree and onto the forest floor. Not surprisingly, This didn't wake him up. After all, being blown off a tree by gale force winds and free falling the 200+ feet you had climbed up to get there in the first place couldn't possibly wake up up. (Authoress Sarcasm)

Naruto was woken up by a soft voice saying, "You shouldn't sleep out here, you'll catch a cold." Naruto opened his eyes, looked up, and grinned.

"Hey Haku. How's it going?" Naruto said up and faced his friend. Haku smiled.

"I'm Fine. How are you? and why were you sleeping you here?" he replied.

"I'm great. And I was training. I just didn't feel like going back to get hit by that annoying pink haired girl." Naruto answered cheerfully. Haku shook his head.

"Wether it's true or not, you shouldn't tease your teammates." Haku scolded.

"Teammates? The only one who can qualify as teammate is Sasuke, and he's a revenge obsessed idiot." Naruto scoffed.

"Naruto..." Haku said.

"Why are you and Zabuza working for Gato?" Naruto questioned, quickly changing the subject to something that didn't make him want to punch a giant hole in the ground.

" Well, we needed work, and she suggested we take Gato's offer." haku said.

"Why?" Naruto raised his eyebrow.

"Well, first of all, she's her, and there's times where I have no idea why she does things."

"oh."

"and also, She wants to get rid of Gato. We're going to invade and kill him." Haku said calmly.

"A little community service?" Naruto wondered why they were helping out the crime-ridden Land of Waves.

"We're taking his money." Haku answered.

"ah. good." nevermind.

"She figures that if Gato trusts us, we can get into his base and kill him."

"Good thinking."

"well, it's her."

"oh, i'm sorry, duh."

"..."

"It's getting kinda late."

"Yep, I 've gotta go help Zabuza. He's probably awake by now."

"Temporary Death?"

"It's what's always gotten us out of trouble."

"Besides the rest of us."

"Yeah, besides the rest of you. Are your teammates aware of Zabuza and I?"

"Yeah. Kakashi figured out that you weren't a real hunter nin. Then he decided that you just put Zabuza in a state of temporary death."

"Ah. Well, Good bye."

"Good Bye."

Naruto watched has Haku left the clearing. When his friend had dissappeared, Naruto leaned against a tree and went right back to sleep.
