"There's absolutely nothing to do today."
The young girl sighed to herself, looking around the area with a bored expression on her face. Satoshi wasn't exactly in town; in fact she was in a field with nothing but grass and trees, far from Konoha's gates. She had been training earlier, throwing shuriken after shuriken, trying to perfect her aim. The star-shaped weapons lay abandoned in the dirt now, glittering in the sunlight.
"Maybe I should summon Suko for some fun..." she wondered out loud, referring to the little blue owl she often teased.
Satoshi let out another sigh and sat down in the grass. She leaned against the trunk of a tree, paying no attention to the dirt stains that were spreading on her clothes. Her eyes slowly closed and she breathed in deeply, trying to relax. She smiled as a light breeze played with her short hair.

[Enter, Uzumaki Naruto]
Walking the outside Konoha paths, Naruto was returning a mission he had just completed. His black and orange clothes had thick mud splatters running up the ankles of his pants and his jacket had gained a few rips and bloodstains. His whiskers were entwined with scratches and dried bits of blood.
He walked off the path towards his favorite training area. He looked for the tree he always put his bag by. He needed to rest.
Someone at the tree...a girl? Gah, he didn't recongize her. A new ninja?
He walked towards the girl, eyeing her carefully and looking around, noticing shurikan laying about the ground. He was careful to remain silent, he didn't want to startle her.
He crouched down and poked the girl's shoulder.
"Oi, you shouldn't be so far away from the village alone. We still have bandits ya know."

She felt a small poke on her shoulder, and lazily opened her eyelids. She had drifted off, and she quickly rubbed her eyes as she tried to fully wake up. She squinted at the boy that was crouching next to her, trying to remember who he was.
"Hm?" Satoshi muttered, thoughtfully staring at his messy face. He didn't look like he was in the best condition at the moment with his scratches and dried blood.
"Don't worry about me, I may not look like much, but I can take them on." she replied with a large grin. "And besides, you don't look so great yourself." she joked, commenting on his unkempt appearance.
"Hey, wait. You're...Uzumaki, right?" Satoshi said suddenly, looking past the dirt and recognizing his blonde hair and the whisker marks on both his cheeks. Of course, she didn't know him personally. But she had heard about him and his pranks around the village when she was younger.

Naruto stood proudly, hands on his thighs. He pointed a thumb to his chest and smiled. His headband glimmered and he soaked into the limelight.
"The one and only, Uzumaki Naruto! Future Hokage!" He brushed off a bit of dirt from his jacket and snickered.
"Oh yeah! Who're you? I recognize the headband but not the person. New nin I sp'ose?"

'Future Hokage, huh? This guy seems pretty confident of himself,' Satoshi thought silently, watching him strike a pose. She returned his smile with one of her own. "Nice to meet you Uzumaki Naruto." she said politely, something that was quite unlike her usual self.
"Hey, you won't mind if I just call you Naruto, right?" Satoshi asked, this time choosing new words and changing her way of talking almost instantly.
"Oh, I'm Tsunaki Satoshi. Just call me by my first name." she answered. She raised her eyebrows when she heard Naruto's last statement. "I'm not exactly new. I graduated from the academy when I was twelve. I'm seventeen now, but I guess my height could tell you otherwise." Satoshi explained with a grin.

"Oh! Of course, just Naruto is fine!" He fidgeted as flakes of dirt came off his arm.
"Yuck, guess I shoulda cleaned up before I came out here. Hehe. You'd think a guy with a rank like mine'd be a be cleaner, but nah, not my thing." He stopped his sentence.
"Aaah, I'm rambling again. Satoshi huh? 17? Man, I really need to stick around the village more, I don't even recognize most of the ninja nowadays!" Naruto hoisted his bag back over his shoulders.
"Hey, you should stop by the Ichiraku Ramen later! You seem cool, it'd be nice to get to know the other ninja in the village. Who knows? You could be a future comrade!" He turned, waved and made his way back down the path towards the village.

Satoshi quickly got up and dusted off her clothes with her hands. It didn't help much though. She ended up smudging the dirt marks on her clothes even more, and now her gloves were filthy too. She made a face, seeing how messed up she looked.
"Alright, bye!" she shouted loudly, cupping her hands around her mouth. "Ugh..." she muttered, seeing that her face was now dirty. "Guess I should go back and take a shower..."
Satoshi leapt into the air, stretching out her gray wings to their full extent. She caught onto the wind and sped towards the direction of Konoha, leaving her shuriken behind on the field. She glanced down a few minutes later, spotting Naruto on the path below her.
"I'll see you around Naruto!" she called, speeding past his head.

Naruto took a second glance and looked back with a 'o-o' look.
"Gah, see ya!" He picked up the pace as he charged back to the village.
I hope this coupon to the Ichiraku is still good!
