Chapter 36 : A Calm Day (Rewrite)

Konohagakure No Sato

2 Months Later.

Kirito was practising in his special training ground.

After Learning Hyper Speed, He took one month's break and then immediately started working on learning Hiraishin the next power which Minato had in his arsenal.

[Minato Template 50%]

Zabuza was his first kill and it gave him a massive boost to his template.

He unlocked Hiraishin and was eager to learn this technique soon.

Another Technique which Kirito wanted to learn was Edo Tensei which he will be learning the moment he is done with learning Flying Thunder God.

He also started teaching Naruto now because the Chunin was coming soon and he wanted all three of his teammates to be at their best.

Yes, three because Hiruzen Sarutobi ended up putting Haku on Kirito's team.

Kirito would have bet that Hiruzen would not let Kirito get too much closer to a girl who is not from this village but that old goat surprised Kirito.

Since then Haku has been working and training with Kirito and his team. At first, it was really hard for Haku to open up but with constant try and effort from Kirito's side she ended up opening but in the end.

She is still an introverted girl but she is much better now than she used to be in the past.

On the other hand, Danzo did not even receive a slap on his wrist.

Kritio doesn't care anymore about what Hiruzen Sarutobi do. He is not suitable to be the Hokage any more anyway.

Haku was looking at Kirito training. She was the only person right now who Kirito let to his Special training ground.

There were two simple reasons. Number one she is smart enough not to say about this place to anyone. Kirito trusted her as he already knew that Haku never lied to him since they came here.

Number 2 is that if there ever comes a time that she needs a place to hide from someone dangerous like Danzo for example. She could hide in here.

This place was secured and no one could find this place. Not to mention Kirito have rigged the place with multiple seals so even if someone finds this place. They would not like the outcome of entering a place where they are not allowed.

Allowing Haku to accompany him to the special training place also gives Kirito a training partner.

Today was a special day because Haku for the first time asked him to treat her a dinner.

He usually goes out with Ino regularly and eats. Normally Naruto also tag along and Kirito could say that that annoyed Ino a lot.

But Haku never really went with them. Today was different though. Haku accepted Kirito's offer after he pestered her for almost 2 months.

----

Later that day.

It was a pleasant evening in the Hidden Leaf Village, and Kirito had invited his teammates over for dinner. Along with his childhood friend Ino. Haku was with her all day long.

Shikamaru didn't come, he was getting nagged by her mother. Surely a motivation source for him to participate in the upcoming Chunin Exams.

As they all settled in around the table, Kirito smiled at the group. "Thanks for coming, everyone. It's good to be surrounded by family and friends. As you can see I was finally successful in bringing Haku here"

Ino chimed in, "Of course, Kirito Kun. You know I wouldn't miss this for the world."

Ino for some reason was not on good terms with Haku as time passed and it might be just Kirito's imagination but even Haku was a little competitive towards Ino.

Kirito did not have any idea what was going on but he did not care as long as they didn't cause problems.

Kirito nodded in agreement, "Same here, it's great to be able to catch up with you and get to know your friends."

Kirito smiled and turned to Haku, "And I'm so glad you could make it, Haku." Kirito said with a warm smile

Haku smiled back, "It's good to have you with me. I am sorry I did not accept the invitation before but I am glad to be here thank you for inviting me." Haku said in her usual polite tone. But gave a shy look towards Ino which Ino and Kirito both noticed but neither had any reaction.

Kirito was aware that Ino was a girl who might fight over petty things with her friends. She is not bad but it's pretty much what she is and after some time she would forget all that and turn back to normal.

But he was not expecting this farce to go on this long and even Haku to be involved in this much.

'What the hell is happening between them?' Thought Kirito.

As the food was served, they all dug in and began to chat about their adventures and experiences. Ino shared stories about her recent missions, Kirito talked about his battles while Haku and Naruto would also join in from time to time.

Haku listened intently and then spoke up, "You all have such interesting stories. I'm just a humble Kunoiche who is a fortune to have your all company."

Kirito smiled, "Oh, don't sell yourself short, Haku. You helped us out when we needed it the most. Without you now team 7 is not complete. You are already a part of the family. And I know you must have some interesting stories to share too."

Haku blushed, "Maybe another time, I would love to tell you when we both have some time."

Although Haku said that in Ino's ears, it was clearly said as "When we both are alone". That and the seductive smile he sends towards Kirito which he does not get at all and just smiles back with his warm mega-watt smile.

Usually, Ino would complain about how Kirito is dense but now she is really happy about Kirito's denseness.

Haku by now also understood that Kirito was dense as hell and day by day she was becoming bolder. This was the exact reason why Ino was on bad terms with Haku.

They never let show this publicly but the reality was very different.

As the evening wore on, the group laughed and talked until late into the night. Naruto and Kirito felt grateful for the company of his friends and family and for the chance to create new memories with them. As they said their goodbyes and parted ways, Naruto and Kirito knew that this was just the beginning of many more dinners to come.
