With a click, the door to Naruto's apartment unlocked, allowing them to enter.

"Well, this is my home, feel treat yourself to anything and do whatever you want," Naruto informed the very happy Haku.

"Thank you, Naruto-sama. How can I ever repay you for your kindness?" Haku asked.

"You don't have to. After all, I did kill Zabuza and I am very sorry for that," Naruto apologized.

"It was not your fault, Naruto-sama. It was your mission," Haku said.

"You can drop the –sama, I was never one for formalities," Naruto told Haku.

Haku obeyed. "Very well, Naruto." Naruto could only smile at this. He saved another person from giving up their lives. It was his goal to help as many people live their lives the right way, along with his dream of becoming Hokage.

"You're room is down the hall, the last room on the right. It's right next to mine which is right at the end," Naruto said as he was showing Haku around his abnormally large apartment. However, it's not very surprising considering he's done so many S-rank missions and his father is the Hokage. "You have your own private bathroom just inside your room and there's also a walk-in closet included. Feel free to look around and relax," Naruto said as he left Haku to do whatever she needed. Haku was feeling so grateful for being able to have Naruto care for her. Even Zabuza couldn't give her all this.

After unpacking, taking a shower and changing into a fresh new set of clothes, Haku was feeling very relaxed for once in her whole life. She walked out into the living room, past the kitchen, where she found Naruto cooking lunch. She walked behind Naruto and asked, "What are you making?" Naruto jumped in shock, not having seen Haku come into the kitchen.

"You scared me. Well, I'm making a special ramen recipe," Naruto said as a grin plastered his face.

"I can't wait to try it out," Haku said as she walked out into the living room where there were many pictures on one of the shelves. She noticed one of them was Naruto's old genin team photo. In the picture from left to right were Asuma, a younger Naruto, and Kurenai. Behind Naruto was his mother, Kushina Uzumaki. She was so interested in all the pictures that she didn't hear Naruto telling her that the food was ready.

"Come on, Haku! The food's going to get gold," Naruto yelled as Haku finally heard him.

"Coming!" Haku yelled back. She walked towards the dining table made for around eight people. There were two bowls of perfectly made ramen sitting on it. Haku quickly made her way to the food and started shoving all the delicious ramen in to her mouth.

"Slow down, you're going to choke if you eat that fast," Naruto said with a chuckle. Haku blushed in embarrassment as she slowed down.

"Where did you learn to make it," Haku asked with curiosity.

"It's my mom's secret recipe, she taught me the day I became a Chuunin," Naruto responded.

"What is she like?" Haku asked.

"It's hard to explain. She's many things. I'll introduce you guys sometimes," Naruto told her.

They ate in silence for the rest of the time. "Let's start some training now. I am your sensei now after all," Naruto said. Haku nodded and Naruto grabbed her arm. She blushed at his touch. 'Do I have feelings for him?' Haku wondered silently. A second later they were at a training field.

"Let's start with some ninjutsu. I want to see some of your jutsus," Naruto ordered.

Haku walked into the center of the training field and started gathering chakra. "Hyoton: Tsurara Tsubame (Ice Release: Icicle Swallow)!" Haku yelled as she jumped into the air and shot several needles of ice at the ground. "Hyoton: Hyogan Domu (Ice Release: Ice Rock Dome of Magnificent Nothingness)!" Haku shouted as a dome of ice surrounded her. She quickly let go of the jutsu as the ice disappeared.

"That's good enough. You can stop now Haku," Naruto said. He was impressed with the control she had over her kekkei genkai. 'This would make it a lot easier to train her,' Naruto thought. "You're control over ice is very impressive, Haku," Naruto praised as Haku blushed at the compliment.

"How about you show me some of your best jutsus? I showed you some of mine," Haku said.

Naruto nodded and said, "What I'm about to show you is something not many people know that I have. You are the one of the few people who will see it. I trust that you will keep this a secret," Naruto said. He walked into the middle of the field where Haku was previously standing. "Moku Bunshin no Jutsu (Wood Clone Technique)!" Naruto yelled as several Naruto shaped wooden figures emerged out of Naruto's body. They formed into complete copies of Naruto. "This is my kekkei genkai, Wood Release," Naruto said.

Suddenly, an ANBU appeared and said, "Lord Hokage has summoned you."
