The Lucky fox

Chapter 5

Naruto's POV

I sat on the edge of my bed, still toweling off after my shower, completely dumbfounded by the unexpected turn of events. The room was filled with a mixture of shock and awkwardness, as I tried to process the fact that a girl – a complete stranger – had just crashed into my apartment through the window, only to catch me in what should have been a private moment.

Glancing over at her, I noticed her sitting on her knees, head bowed in deep embarrassment. She seemed genuinely mortified by the situation, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for her. After all, I'd had my fair share of embarrassing situations, and this was certainly one for the books.

Clearing my throat, I decided to break the silence, hoping to ease the tension a little.

Naruto: (rubbing the back of my head) Well, this is... unexpected.

Her head remained down, and her voice came out in a small, apologetic whisper.

Fu: (softly) I'm really sorry about this... I didn't mean to intrude or... um, catch you off guard.

I couldn't help but chuckle at her choice of words. Catching me off guard was an understatement.

Naruto: (smirking) Yeah, I think you've got "catching me off guard" down to a T.

She finally looked up, her cheeks still a deep shade of red. Her expression was a mix of mortification and genuine regret. I could see that she was struggling with her embarrassment, and it made me feel a bit more at ease.

Naruto: (grinning) Don't worry about it too much. It's not like I haven't been in my fair share of awkward situations before.

Fu: (sighs) I know, but still... This was not how I envisioned meeting you.

Naruto: (laughs) Well, it's definitely a memorable first impression. Name's Naruto Uzumaki, by the way.

Fu: (smiling slightly) I'm Fu. It's nice to meet you, Naruto.

I pause for a second when she said her name, Fu like the Jinchuriki that ayame.

Naruto: Wait, you're the Jinchuriki?

Fu: How did you know that, I didn't told you.

Naruto: Well Ayame from Ichiraku told me there a cute girl asking about me that she was a jinchuriki.

Fu: (smile sheepley) Yeah, that's Lucky number seven!

she shows her finger counts with wink and smile with tongue out.

Naruto: Lucky number seven, guessing you were really lucky to see at right time.

Her face turn red I was teasing her. I laughed at her reaction.

Fu: (playfully) Oh, so you're saying I have impeccable timing, Naruto?

Naruto: (grinning) Well, I've got to admit, not everyone gets a chance to make such an entrance.

Fu: (rolling her eyes with a smile) Yeah, yeah, rub it in.

Naruto: (chuckling) I couldn't resist. But seriously, it's all good. Besides, it's not every day that I get to meet a fellow Jinchuriki.

Fu: (nodding) True. It's actually nice to meet someone who can relate to what I've been through.

Naruto: (nodding) Yeah. also, um, mind explaining how you ended up crashing into my apartment?

She looked sheepish, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.

Fu: (hesitates) I was trying to make an impressive entrance. Anko Mitarashi suggested surprising you through the window.
