Naruto was looking around the small balcony that was in the room…Naruto stared at Zabuza's figure that could be seen sleeping in about 40 meters…Naruto usually couldn't see that distance so clearly with the whole place dark, except Naruto has the Sharingan which allows him to see Zabuza's Chakra signature and at the same time the figure of him sleeping not far from the inn…

Naruto sighed as he looked at the sky…now Zabuza, Haku and him intended to head to Takigakure to deliver Kakuzu's head to his former village…but at the same time Naruto knew about that…he couldn't help but think about whether Akatsuki would go to that location waiting for them…or if instead of going to the hot springs village the same thing would happen…but as soon as that thought appeared Naruto nodded his head…since it was more likely that that wouldn't happen since there are more Jinchuriki around the 5 great continents they didn't have to focus on him alone…

Naruto heard the sound of someone sitting on a bed…he quickly turned to the location of the bed…Naruto couldn't explain what he just saw…since it's the first time he sees Haku so vulnerable…in short without a Kimono on and with few clothes on…

Why that thought?

Well the answer is simple, in bed you could see Haku's figure wearing an outfit that Naruto had never seen in his life... Naruto's gaze quickly went to her bare shoulders, her thighs and the smile she was directing at him...

Naruto gulped as he managed to calm down, but his gaze never left Haku who for some reason looked more beautiful than when he first met her...

Naruto's gaze couldn't take its eyes off Haku's figure for several long seconds... until he was able to calm down enough to remove the surprised look in his eyes and clear his throat to approach her...

Haku was blushing as she couldn't help but feel happy when Naruto's gaze was captivated by her, by her...

(I feel happy as well as embarrassed) – thought Haku with her cheeks flushed as she looked at Naruto who had already calmed down…when Haku saw him clear his throat to calm down for some strange reason she also calmed down…

Haku sighed as she watched Naruto's figure approach…she stared into his blue eyes without looking away she stared at what Naruto was wearing which was a black shirt, long black pants and a kind of hat on his head also black…for some strange reason they both wore the same color, Haku could feel how her cheeks were blushing and at the same time she became more aware of one thing…she was madly in love with the blond and she was not going to deny that…

Naruto approached the bed where Haku was… when he got to the bed he looked at Haku and decided to change direction and sit on the other side of the bed… Haku looked at Naruto as he walked to the other side of the bed… when he felt Naruto's weight on the bed on the other side he couldn't help but let out a smile… his cheeks reddened slightly…

When Naruto sat on the bed he briefly looked at Haku to ask him why he dressed like that… but before he could do that Haku stretched out and leaned back on the headboard of the bed and stretched out his feet and gave him a shy smile…

Naruto looked at Haku surprised for a few seconds before letting out a sigh… Haku smiled and could notice in Naruto's gaze that he wanted to ask him something…

Naruto looked at Haku before sighing and decided to ask a question… 

Why do you think Zabuza did all this? –Naruto asked Haku curiously to know why Zabuza did all this…also she was curious if Haku knew why…

Haku looked at Naruto after hearing his question she knew why Zabuza did that, but she decided not to comment on it…she was sure that Zabuza had noticed that she liked the blond or saw that she got nervous around him either of the two could have been Zabuza's motive or it could have even been both…but she wasn't sure about that and preferred not to mention it…

Naruto looked at Haku who had been lost in her thoughts…Naruto imagined that she was looking for some reason why Zabuza would do this…Naruto saw how Haku looked at him with a lost look…

I have no idea— said Haku while shrugging his shoulders…Naruto nodded at her before letting out a sigh… 

I see— Naruto said as he looked at her… Haku, upon noticing Naruto's gaze, only looked at him for a few seconds before shrugging and lying down on the bed… she quickly covered herself with the blanket and closed her eyes, but before she could start to sleep, the next thing Naruto said made her smile…

Good night Haku, rest well— said Naruto while on impulse he moved his hand while rubbing Haku's head in a loving way... the girl herself couldn't help but blush when she felt Naruto's delicate touch towards her... the girl's cheeks were quite red, but she still said her part...

Good night to you too – said Haku while fighting with her embarrassment... Naruto upon hearing Haku's statement stopped rubbing her head... Haku upon seeing that he stopped caressing her head managed to recover from her embarrassment and within a few minutes she fell asleep...

Naruto looked at Haku for a few seconds before smiling and getting lost in his thoughts to be precise... a thought which had been on his mind all day...

How strong would the other members of Akatsuki be… Naruto thought about it since he was sure that if he had faced Hidan instead of Kakuzu and Kakuzu had faced Zabuza and Haku… both Zabuza and Haku would be dead… which means that the people who accompany him will always be in danger… 

He nodded his head to dry that thought while he lay down on the bed and covered himself with the sheets…

........ 

Somewhere in the five elemental lands Kisame could be seen walking through the forest in search of a new member for Akatsuki…

I don't know why I accepted this— Kisame said to himself while he had his sword in his hands… to be precise the strongest sword of the five that the 7 swordsmen of Kirigakure have… of which Zabuza was a member… 

Kisame looked around with a bored look on his face…when he suddenly felt the rise in temperature…he looked in the direction of it and an army of lava was heading towards him…

Kisame quickly suddenly disappeared and appeared far away from the point where the lava was heading…

The lava left trails of destruction along the route it came from…he couldn't help but smile when he saw the ninja that appeared in front of him…when he saw the ninja he couldn't help but have a funny thought… 

He was going for a new member of Akatsuki and he ran into a Jinchuriki and to be precise the four-tailed one…Roshi a ninja from Iwagakure…who had the 4-tailed Bijuu inside him…also according to what he was informed that Roshi had the Kekkei Genkai of Yoton the same one that Zetsu informed him that it could be possible that the Jinchuriki of the 9-tailed also had said Kekkei Genkai, but he wasn't sure…

A maniacal smile appeared on Kisame's face as he raised his sword which was called Samehada a sword with the appearance of shark scales this sword was created not to cut or do lethal damage... but its main task is to absorb the Chakra of its enemies and with this heal its host or become larger and make its scales more resistant...

Kisame smiled...

I don't know who the hell you are, but you've been dead since you came in here— Roshi said while making hand positions... Roshi quickly prepared to fill the unknown guy with lava...

Kisame looked at him and gave Roshi an amused look before smirking... 

Dead— Kisame mocked as he made a single hand position and almost instantly beneath his feet an army of water appeared just the weakness of the Yoton element... Roshi frowned instantly... 

Kisame smiled amused as he suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of Roshi who quickly hardened his skin with Doton to block Kisame's sword, but it was absolutely useless as his barrier was instantly pierced and Roshi was sent flying into multiple trees and crashing a few meters away from Kisame…

Idiot— said Kisame amused… while Kisame mocked Roshi's stupid attempt to block Samehada… Roshi himself was just realizing who he was fighting against…

Kisame Hoshigaki the wielder of Samehada, it really was stupid to try to cover the attack like that— Roshi muttered as he stood up and looked around to see how far he flew… 

This is going to be a little difficult— he said in a low voice as he looked at Kisame who was around 200 meters away from him… 

Who of the two will win this fight?
