I really tried to get away. I really did. But somehow she managed to catch me.

"O-oh Sasuke-kun!" She said both shy and cheerfully, "I didn't see you there! We must be going in the same direction."

'Yeah right you stalker!' I thought 💭 with a scared expression, 'You hunted me down like...like a predator to its prey!'

"Hn." I said impassively.

"When are you going to reveal your gender?" Asked Tobirama.

"When I go rogue." I signed to him.

"Ok-! Wait what?!" Tobirama stuttered, "That means never! I don't want girls after my girlfriend!!"

Oh darling! It will be sooner than you think.

"I need to do something." I told Sakura, "Can you guard Tazuna while I go?"

"Of course!!!" Sakura squealed while fangirling.

'Sasuke asked me to do a favour for him!!' She thought happily.

"If we do it well then maybe he'll fall for us!!!" Inner said making her first appearance.

And off she ran to guard an old man. That rhymed...This is something Killer Bee would love to see!!

"That was easy." Sweat dropped Tobirama.

"Yeah...I'm going to go look for Naruto." I said sighing, "He's probably still trying to learn how to walk up trees."

Tobirama nodded, "I wonder if he's improved?"

I walked towards the forest and saw a tackily bright orange jumpsuit.

Haku stiffened when he saw me.

"Hello..." he waved awkwardly. I nodded to him in acknowledgment.

Tobirama was dead silent. He only glared at the poor boy.

"Teme?" Naruto said confused, "What are you doing here?!"

"Didn't you want to see who can climb better dobe?" I reminded him, "I came to see if you actually figured how to do it yet."

A tick mark appeared above Naruto's head.

"I CAN BEAT YOU WITHOUT IT!!" Naruto Yelled suddenly, "BELIEVE IT!!"

"Hn. I never said anything about not knowing how to do it dobe..." I sweat dropped.

Tobirama sighed, "Uzumaki... always with their  'I tell ya!' 'Believe it!'   I wonder what's next?!"

Both me and Naruto readied ourselves and charged at the tree. I walked up it with ease.

Naruto ended up falling.

Sighing I offered my hand once again but this time he pushed me away and refused.

"Keep it teme!" Scowled Naruto, "I'm going to be Hokage one day! I can't have you always looking after me!"

I retracted my hand with a sad sigh.

'Naruto...I won't always be here to help you up...' I thought with a barely visible sad smile, 'You'll end up spending a lot of time chasing after me.'

So...please don't push me away now.

I may not come back.

-

"Again!!" Naruto Yelled to me, "I want another rematch!"

I shook my head, "You keep on making the same mistakes..."

Haku watched in silence.

I was about to comment on his enormous chakra but Haku beat me to it.

"You have to put the right amount of chakra into it." Haku told Naruto, "You're putting too much. It's going to be hard since you have naturally large reserves but you just need to find the right amount."

Naruto nodded and readied himself once again.

Closing his eyes tightly in concentration he ran towards the tree.

To any normal person it seemed like he was about to run into a tree.

But to a trained shinobi he was almost flawlessly using the right chakra for climbing trees.

When Naruto opened his eyes he wasn't on the ground in pain from running into a tree. He was standing sideways on the trunk.

"I did it!" He cheered, "Believe it!!"

"Well what do you know..." Tobirama murmured, "He got it!"

I smiled slightly, 'That's our Knuckle Head Ninja...'

"Thanks lady!!" He thanked Haku who nodded.

Then Haku smiled and said as he walked away, "I'm a man."

All hell broke loose.
