“Ne, Tsunade-baa-chan! What’re you doing here?” Naruto, the hyperactive, twelve year old blond we all know and love, was sitting in a hospital bed, bandages covering most of his face. It had been two weeks since the battle with Sasuke, and Naruto still had to stay at the hospital until who knows when.
“I’m assigning an ANBU to your room, brat.” Tsunade spit back, hiding a smile in her lips. “It was requested we get you an ANBU for about a week or so.”
“What?! No way, Baa-chan! I don’t need an ANBU!” Naruto shouted back, pointing a finger at Tsunade.
Tsunade grinned. “Maybe not.” She said. “But it was requested by a specific person you have one.”
“Whaaat?! Who?! I’m gonna kick their ass!” Naruto yelled, jumping up, only to get pushed down by Tsunade. “Was it Ero-sensei?! It’s gotta be Ero-sensei!”
“Sorry, but that’s classified.” Tsunade said, sighing. “Just get along with the ANBU. I’m only assigning one,” She said, smiling. “You two’ll get along great.”
Naruto huffed. “I still don’t need an ANBU babysitter.”
“Sure you don’t. H-san!” Tsunade called. “H-san! You can come in now.”
A tall, blond haired ANBU whose hair defied gravity entered the room. Naruto couldn’t tell the gender of his ANBU babysitter because of the dog mask that covered the persons face, but whoever it was, this person were definitely older then he was. Naruto could see all the cool weapons lying at the ANBU’s disposal. Wow! He thought. This might not be bad if this ANBU teaches me cool ANBU moves!
“Naruto, this is H-san. H-san will be your bodyguard until further notice. I’ll let you two get acquainted.” She said, leaving the room.
Naruto grinned. “Hi! I’m Naruto!” he said cheerfully. “I don’t like having an ANBU babysitter, but if you could teach me some awesome ANBU moves, that’d be great!” he said, his eyes shining.
The ANBU, H-san, didn’t respond. H-san stood there, unmoving.
Naruto sighed. “Geez, you’re boring.” He sighed. “How the hell did you get to be an ANBU?!”
H-san didn’t reply.
Naruto was getting irritated. “Come on! Say something!” he urged.
“…nice to meet you, Naruto-san.” H-san said quietly, a feminine voice. Naruto instantly recognized the voice as a girl’s.
“So you’re a girl, huh? That’s okay. Did you not want to talk ‘cuz you’re a girl?”
H-san nodded a bit.
“You seem a little spacy.” Naruto commented. “That’s okay, though.”
H-san nodded again, then reached out her hand. Naruto thought instantly that she was going to smack him, but H-san just scruffled his own spiked blond hair. “I might…..teach you a few moves.” She said slowly. “Later. When you get a little stronger. Okay?”
Naruto grinned. “Okay!” he cheered, pumping his fists in the air. “Then I’ll go and get Sasuke back with my awesome ANBU moves!”
If H-san was taken aback, she didn’t show it. “So you want your friend to come back.” She commented. “I heard about the whole thing from Tsunade-sama.”
“Really? Awesome!” Naruto grinned. “That means a lot of people know about me, right?”
“Yes….I suppose so.”
“Alright! One step closer to being Hokage!” Naruto cheered.
“So you want to be Hokage? That’s….a nice dream.”
“We’re going to get along great, H-san!”
“….yes.”
