In the wooden cone treehouse, Haku is pulling out her hairband as she lets her hair fall down.

She goes to the forest and picks flowers as the bird flies to her shoulder as she giggles it flies away as Naruto is lying on the ground as the birds land on him.

She remembers the boy from when he yelled at her.

(Flashback) Naruto: What's with you!?

She walks over to him to grab him as the birds fly away.

Back at the house in the Land of Waves Village.

Sakura: Good morning.

Sakura yawns as she sits at the table.

Tazuna's daughter puts a bowl for Sakura on the table.

Tsunami: Here.

Sakura: Thank you.

Tazuna: Naruto didn't come back last night, either?

Sakura: He's such a fool. He's been out every night, climbing trees. He might be dead already from using up too much Chakra.

Tsunami: I wonder if Naruto's okay. To think a child's out in the middle of the night.

Kakashi: Well, you don't need to worry. Although he may not seem to be, he's a full-fledged Ninja.

Kyllian: Yeah, but he's also very immature and irresponsible.

Sasuke: I wonder... That idiot's probably all pooped out right about now.

Sasuke gets off the table.

Sakura: Sasuke?

Sasuke: I'm going for a walk.

Sakura: But we're about to eat... That was fast!

He leaves the house as Inari hasn't even touched his food.

Kyllian: I'm going to look for him.

Sakura: Ok, good luck.

She smiles.

Kakashi: No getting into fights.

Kyllian: Yeah, i know.

Kyllian leaves the house to go look for Naruto.

(In the forest, Naruto is still sleeping, as Haku is kneeling over him).

Haku: You'll catch a cold if you keep sleeping here.

Naruto sits up and looks at Haku.

Naruto: Who're you? Uh... Did you wake me up, sis? I mean, what're you doing here?

Haku: I'm gathering medicinal herbs.

Naruto: Herbs?

Haku: Yes. For healing injuries,
sickness and the like.

Naruto sits across from her.

Naruto: You got a lot to do early
in the morning, sis...

Haku: You, too. What've you been doing in a place like this so early?

Naruto: Training!

Haku: Could it be that... you're a Ninja or something? What with that headband and...

Naruto: Is that what I look like? Is it? Yup! I'm a Ninja!

Haku: No kidding, You're great, aren't you.

Naruto laughs out loud.

Haku: But... why are you training?

Naruto: As for me, I want to get stronger!
