Naruto sighed as he slumped down against the training dummy he'd been hitting for the past twelve hours. It'd been a long, hard, grueling training session, but he felt that it was very much worth it. After all, each hour he practiced brought him that much closer to being strong enough to bring Sasuke back.
As he rested, two things came to his attention, first was a girl with her blue-green hair pulled up into two pigtails. Second was that a glowing cube matching her hair was flying straight at his head. Flinging his arm up to protect his face, he was surprised when nothing happened for a full minute. Lowering his arm, he looked at the curious cube, which was floating right in front of him. There were two taps from inside, causing the side to bulge towards him. Blinking slowly he did what any normal shinobi might, well normal in his mind that is..
He poked it and sprang back as it burst open and a microphone was stuck out towards him, being held by a chibified version of the woman sleeping under the tree. It stared at him mutely for a minute before blinking slowly and looking around, after a minute it seemed to spot the sleeping girl and zipped over. It held out the microphone again, getting no response from her.
Before Naruto could suggest a course of action the little thing pulled out a leek easily taller than Naruto and brought it down on the girl's head. The girl let out a musical cry, before looking around and blushing. "Where are we?" it sang softly to the little box dweller that just broke a unnaturally huge vegetable over her head.
The chibi thing pointed the microphone at him, and shrugged. Naruto blinked as the girl slowly stood up and dusted off her gray blazer, and black/green skirt combo. Her warm, bright, beautiful smile seemed to trigger some part deep in his mind, suppressed for years by other matters.
"Hello, I am Miku Hatsune, and you are?"
"N...Naruto..." the poor blond squeaked, causing the girl to giggle softly. "W...where did you come from?"
"Oh... I am not sure... I just remember falling asleep under a peach tree and waking up here..." Miku answered while indicating the Sakura tree she'd woken up under. "Where is here?"
"Konoha... capital city of Hi no Kuni... I... I think you might want to go see Baa-chan... she'll know what to do..."
"Okay!" the melodious voice answered before latching onto Naruto's arm with a giggle. "Won't you sing with me?"
"I... I don't think that's a good idea..." Naruto stated nervously, remembering the last time he tried. The window shattering rang out in his mind to this day.
"We shall see..." Miku giggled while singing. Okay, so she sang... everything... no need to worry about her sanity Naruto. After all, look at some of your fellow ninjas...
Maaaake that all of them...
"Show me your song Naruto," Miku requested again while they walked through the market place. And for some strange reason, Naruto felt that he wanted to sing, but fought down that urge with a will of iron.
