Goodbye, so long...

Naruto's big smile was set on his face as he continued to walk through the main village, saying polite "hellos" and such to passerbys. He folded his arms behind his head and sighed happily. The sun was shining, and, even though a thick layer of snow covered the ground, it was still a beautiful day. Naruto was never too particular to snow, but he still enjoyed it to the best of his abilities.

He was thinking quietly when he suddenly bumped into someone who was walking. "Oh, I am so sorry," the girl said. He opened his mouth to apologize, but he suddenly blinked. The girl...she had such a mysterious aura around her, something suspicious...and her resemblance to Sasuke was remarkable...He blinked again, standing stupidly with his mouth agape. "Oh, sorry..." he muttered, not making any move to walk away from her.

Nice try, I'm gone...
The fox vessel blinked again, blue orbs piercing the new woman in front of him. " Hi, My name is Karin Yakushi," she greeted. He narrowed his eyes. It reminded him of Kabuto..."So you're the Fox kid. A friend told me about you."

His eyes widened. He swallowed slightly and tightened his fists. "What's it to ya, Yakushi?" he asked gruffly, his voice low and menacing.

You don't like being second, I don't like being wrong...
