Karin And The Mask Storage Temple

Days passed by, Naruto kept on training with the help of the Shadow Clone Jutsu. His training in the Eight Inner Gates was also going well as he could sense his body get stronger and stronger. He could feel the benefits which he was getting from his other Shadow Clones.

Naruto was going in a beeline in the forest, without any proper destination. He still regretted that he did not stole a map but he was fine because travelling was fun... at least for him.

******

"Where is that sound coming from?" near the location of where Naruto was training, there stood a red haired Kunoichi, named Karin, from the Sunagakure Village.

The sounds were of huge grunts and moans. She started to go towards the direction where the sound was coming from.

After walking a distance, Karin saw a scene which could not be comprehended, a boy in orange clothes was walking down a path and behind him were many boys just as same as the first one; fighting, pulling rocks, shouting, or cussing at each other.

It was really incomprehensible.

But Karin found it interesting, she also wanted to know what this technique was that made so many material copies of a person and why someone would make those copies do something like this.

She then turned her chakra vision on. In this state, she was able to see any form of chakra and the chakra's state too. Her mother told her that this was a gift that the gods gave her but she never believed her. Since there were far more unusual things that is also like this.

"Hmm... WHAT!!!"

When she saw the clones in her chakra state, she could see that all the clones had chakra flowing through them and that of equal amounts. She was perplexed as this should not be possible. Clones were only decoys and immaterial without any independent chakra but these clones have chakra in them and they were materialistic too.

Soon her interest in the boy went over 9000!

She started following the boy who keeps surprising her. But after quite some time she observed that this boy did nothing except walking and sleeping and only his clones were the doing something, that too either shouting or pulling rocks with their bodies.

Suddenly Karin saw the boy looking towards where she was, she thought that it must be a coincidence that he saw in her direction, because she could completely hide her presence and not even Jonin level ninjas would be able to detect her.

But the boy kept looking towards her and soon he started walking towards the bush she was hiding at.

'No he must've not seen me, its just a coincidence, but the boy still beelined towards the bush she was hiding in.

******

"awww man, I really need to relieve myself, otherwise its gonna explode"

Naruto looked around and saw a bush. He looked around the bush to confirm nobody was there and started moving towards it, he was really in need of relieving himself. So without wasting any time he pulled his pants down and started doing his thing. But suddenly a cry came from the bush and a red haired monster came out of it.

"ahhhhh!!" the monster exclaimed

Naruto was also very scared because he had checked that no one was here and didn't find anyone but then suddenly a monster came crashing on him.

He realised that the red haired monster which came out of the bush was in fact a girl and he was dumbfounded by the fact that he had almost relieved himself on a girl.

But suddenly he sensed a murderous aura coming from the girl.

"I'LL KILL YOU, YOU DAMN IDIOT!!!" the girl screamed

Naruto knew that it was not a good time to stay around so he ran in the opposite direction and ordered his clones to block the girl. but the girl was too fast and her fist straight collided against Naruto's face, sending Naruto flying with a nosebleed.

"you piece of dump, how dare you show that thing in front of girl don't you have any manners?" Karin screamed at Naruto, she was really pissed and stomped his way towards him.

"wait, I could not sense your chakra and why were you hiding in a bush anyway, couldn't you had already told me you were there." Naruto refuted

"you!!!" but Karin soon realized that she truly was the one at fault here, she also reprimanded herself of not saying something to the boy.

"you better not tell a soul about this thing or you are dead" Karin said

Naruto also said ok so that things do not escalate.

"anyway what's your name and why are you in a forest like this?" asked Karin hoping to quickly change the subject.

"Im Naruto Uzumaki and I dont know where I'm going too, hee" Naruto said embarrassed

"You are also an Uzumaki!!!" Karin's eyes went wide because she too was an Uzumaki, she really did not expect to meet a Uzumaki in a forest like this.

"Wait a min, are you also an Uzumaki?" Naruto asked Karin and seeing her nodding he was really amazed.

With this they both started talking and Naruto found out that she was from some other village and was here to visit the mask storage temple, where the Uzumaki clan stored mask's of different reapers to use in their special sealing jutsu's, and from her, Naruto soon came to know about many things about his jutsu and he was also amazed at how Karin had the ability to see chakra and such, and they also discussed about his shadow clone jutsu.

Naruto also decided that he would just go to his ancestral temple and from there ask about the location of the nearest town from there.

So both Naruto and Karin made their way towards the Uzumaki clan's mask storage temple.
