He/She

"Then it is the wild animal that needs to be worried when it comes to take a bite out of Naruto. " says Hashimoto with a smirk as he is really curious how the fox is going to respond when a wild animal comes to eat its host.

"You have some confidence in your friend. " says Haku with a charming smile looking at Hashimoto.

"Confidence in him that is without a question if not what right do I have to be called as his friend but more than that I am confident in saving him on the worst-case scenario. " explained Hashimoto with a proud smile as he remembers his first marking if his Space-Time ninjutsu became Naruto not someone or something else, you need to be extra careful when you are worried about your friends.

"Are all Konoha Shinobi as confident as you are or is it only you? " says Haku giving him a charming smile.

"Your truly Sarutobi Hashimoto  is special. " says Hashimoto with pride as he pointed at himself while showing his teeth.

"My name is Haku. " says Haku with a smile hearing Hashimoto introduce himself but decided to hide the clan name which is still dangerous.

"Hashi what are you doing here? " asks Naruto with a confused face when he hears Hashimoto speaking with someone and making his wake up from his deep sleep.

"Talking to a beautiful girl what do you think. " responses Hashimoto with a smug face as he looks at Naruto.

"A beautiful girl in a forest, are you sure you aren't high in the m... " with disbelief Naruto jumps on his two feet to make fun of his friend only to discover there is really a beautiful girl next to Hashimoto which made him shocked to the core as he instantly dashed next to his buddy at an inhuman speed before interrogating in a low tone  "My God just Where did you find such a hot elder sister, Hashi? "

"By the time I arrived she was already collecting some medical herbs and stealing a few glances at your direction, maybe if I were a little let she would have already started a conversation with you and... " started explaining Hahshimoto with a smile.

"Damn you Hashi, if you know I would have a chance to score some good points with a beauty as her then why did you butt in inserted of looking from far, basterd just because you don't care about love, do you think it's alright to ruin the happiness of your friends. " cried out Naruto in anger and disbelief, come on I am unable to persuade Sakura to love me and here he is stopping a beauty, just whyyyy~

"Basterd here I am worried about you and you are sporting some bullshit, believe it or not I am more interested in love then you it's just I am never able to find anyone worthy. " says Hashimoto in anger before slapping Naruto's hand from his shoulder.

"Whatever I don't care. " announced Naruto with disbelief and disregarding Hashimoto dashed in front of Haku to introduce himself with a wide smile as if he wants to show how much his heart is beating for her "My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I will be the Hokage, believe it. "

"From how brave you are to sleep alone in the forest  I am sure you might but don't you think it's better to sleep inside a house instead of the open, since you will not only be attacked by some wild animal but you might also catch a cold. " says Haku with a smile feeling funny from the intersection between Naruto and Hashimoto which shows the close bond between friends.

"You are right it can be dangerous but the future Hokage can't be scared from some wild animal or cold can he. " says Naruto with confidence as he disagreed to Haku's complaints.

"I guess he can't and it's nice to meet you Hokage-sama. " says Haku with a smile looking at Naruto's face that slowly turned red.

"Look at your running after everyone like a wild dog the moment you get the opportunity, Naruto, Naruto how many times do I need to tell you, a man should never confess his love with words but only with his actions. " says Hashimoto with laughter before turning to Haku and saying "I am truly sorry if my friend has said something to make you uncomfortable Haku-san and I ask for your forgiveness since he is a fool. "

"Hey who do you think you are calling a fool and remove your hand from me you fool. " cried out Naruto in anger when he is again getting cut off from his opportunity to pursue beauty.

"No, no it's alright I am not offended anyway I am getting late, so I will have to say goodbye. " says Haku with a smile before leaving them as they start an argument among one another when Sakura comes to call them "The breakfast is ready and if you guys don't want to then feel free to argue I am returning. "

After eating breakfast it was another day of training for Naruto and Sasuke who are yet to master tree walk and water walk respectively since Kakashi is feeling a lot better after 2 days of resting he decided to help his student and not embress himself in front of another team and also joined Naruto and Sasuke to help with their improvement.

Kurenai didn't take her student in the forest and decided to help Shino with his Genjutsu and asks Hashimoto to help Hinata improve her Taijutsu by having a friendly fight with her, while Sakura went to guard the bridge builders from any kind of danger.

"Alright, Princess here I come. " says Hashimoto before dashing towards Hinata who has already taken a battle stance to block Hashimoto with her active Dojutsu to counter against everything that might come at her.

"Although I might not be the strongest but I will try my best. " announced Hinata with a serious face as she prepared to face him.

"Eight... "
