Naruto needed one whole week to recover from whatever happened to him, with Tsunami taking care of him. His team was looking over him every time they didn't train or go to guard Tazuna at the bridge, but none of them knew medical jutsu well enough to say what happened to Naruto.

Right now, inside of room Naruto was resting in was whole team 7. They were sitting there quietly with Kakashi reading his book, Sasuke reading some scroll on fire jutsu Kakashi gave him and Sakura reading book with title 'Medical journal for beginners: How to identify different illness.'

Suddenly, the quiet atmosphere was broken by Naruto's groan and they all looked towards him. Naruto sat up slowly, in which Sakura needed to stop him from standing up. "Stop. When you came you had wounds on your chest and your neck was bruised. You came back at just right time and if not for Kakashi-sensei's medical knowledge needed for Jonins you would be dead. Kakashi-sensei patched you up but you will need to have a doctor to look at it." Said Sakura.

Naruto groaned at that and held his head. "What happened?" asked Naruto. Kakashi sighed and looked at him. "That's what we want to know, Naruto. You appeared out of nowhere, looking like you went through war. What happened? You said it will go without problem." Said Kakashi.

Naruto sighed as he remembered what happened. "That person appeared again. She knew of my heritage and from the sound of it I think she has some grudge against my clan." Said Naruto. Kakashi hummed at that and said. "I see. Did you find out anything else? Like something that could tell us who that person was?"

Naruto shook his head and said. "Nothing much. Before I could do anything, she was already close to cutting my jugular veins and I needed to teleport myself. Then someone else appeared in white cloak and gave me a scroll and said that I should give it to someone I can fully trust. I don't know what happened to him because I ran from there."

Kakashi sighed and rubbed his forehead. "So now we have two unknown people, scroll with unknown content and you are in bad shape. Anything I missed?" said Kakashi. Naruto groaned from the pain and said. "I finished the assignment. Gatō is dead and by now Zabuza should have find out."

Kakashi nodded and said. "Then we better prepare. The news of Gatō being dead will make his mercenaries go rampage and they could potentially attack village as means of survival. Zabuza probably won't be among them as he needs to know from his shinobi life that people like Gatō are backstabbing bastards. Zabuza maybe already thought of ways to turn on Gatō before Gatō turns on him."

They nodded their heads and Sasuke and Sakura took their things. Kakashi nodded his head at them and they left the room. Looking at confused Naruto, Kakashi said. "We will take care of everything, Naruto. You need to recover after your fight, so stay here and rest." Naruto nodded and laid down after Kakashi left the room.

Naruto's dream

Naruto found himself in completely white place, flying in air. He looked around to see if there is anyone else, but saw that only he himself was there. Then soon he heard a disoriented voice. "So we finally meet, young man." Naruto started to look around and said. "Who are you? And where are you? Show yourself!"

He could almost hear sadness in the sigh that came from the voice but before he could question it, the voice said. "You aren't ready to be told the truth. You, who lived his whole life in pain shall find a path of knowledge from a wise man. He shall open your eyes to knowledge and then you will see me." Said the voice. Before Naruto could say anything else, he was knocked back by some unknown force.

In reality

Naruto woke up from his dream with sweat dripping from his face. He didn't understand what was going on and what the voice was talking about but something inside of him told him that he won't be getting answers very soon. He stood up, even though his body was protesting, and jumped from the window of his room into forest.

As he went deeper into the forest, he sat down on ground into meditative position and put his fingers into ram-seal. As he sat there, he remembered the words of that cloaked female. 'What did she mean by being able to use only one of Namikaze bloodlines? Could there be more than the speed I read in that scroll? Maybe there is something I need to do to unlock those like how sharingan is unlocked.' Thought Naruto as he calmed his breath. It was his routine to sit down like this and circulate his chakra inside of him while he cleans his mind of any problem.

He sat there for few hours, practicing his control over his chakra. He was disturbed by feeling of something flying towards him, which made Naruto jump into air and was standing downwards from tree branch.

Looking around, he saw the same male in white cloak standing on ground, looking at him with his blue eyes. "So you aren't pure blood as expected." Said male. Naruto narrowed his eyes at him, saying. "Why are you here? And what do you mean by me not being pure blood?"

The man noticed something different about Naruto but answered. "I'm here to tell you that you don't need to worry about that woman coming after you in close future. And I'm not allowed to answer your second question." Said man.

Naruto only kept looking at the man, judging him for a while and then asked. "Then tell me who you are." The man looked him into eyes and said. "I'm not allowed to answer that either. My personal information is regarded as confidential for safety reasons. I can only give you some advice as of right now, young Namikaze. Don't be overly confident in your weapons. It's one of the reasons why you are the only Namikaze alive. I think you saw how that woman could see through anything you did. Until you learn more about Namikaze clan I can't tell you more. Farewell, young Namikaze." With that said, the man disappeared into nothingness.
