I looked out of my bedroom window and saw that the snow has risen to the very top of the ground floor window, and coming to an end. It wasn’t snowing anymore, but it was cold enough to where I knew it wouldn’t be melting any time soon.
I propped my window open and crouched on the ledge.
I knew there was nothing around my house other than the horse stables, and I knew I also had to feed the horses and give them blankets to drape over their bodies at some point today.
Then, I did a set of hand signs and muttered, “Fire Style.” a ball of fire erupted from my mouth as I spat fire at the snow. It melted instantly and water poured everywhere. Now I could see about five cubic meters of the ground. I suppose I would do that until my yard was all melted.
I jumped onto the lake of water and used my chakra to stand on it. I looked in the window and saw everyone gathered in the kitchen eating an early lunch.
I tapped on the window and everyones eyes darted to where the sound came from until they all landed on me. I waved with a close eyed smile. Gai stormed over to me and pointed.
“How are you out there?!” I heard him scream. Takashi came forward and opened the window for him so he could communicate more appropriately.
“I jumped. Now, who has fire nature chakra?” I asked. Kakashi and Jiraiya raised their hands. I nodded approvingly and pointed up. “Go into my room and jump out the window. I’ll give you further instructions after.” They nodded and jogged out of sight.
“What can I do?” Gai asked and Asuma rolled his eyes but went along with him.
“Gather up unused blankets, carrots, and apples with Takashi.” I decided after thinking for a moment.
“Okay!” he replied with much enthusiasm. I rolled my eyes and moved over so Kakashi could jump down.
Kakashi and Jiraiya jumped, and used their chakra to stay afloat also. I swiftly glanced at them and then turned to the snow, performing the same signs.
“Fire style,” I murmured again to myself. Fire came out of my mouth and blazed the snow. When I was done, I had about doubled our perimeter. I waved at the snow I just melted and smirked.
“Think you boys can handle it?” I asked teasingly. Kakashi’s eye rolled as he and Jiraiya nodded.
“Yeah, how much shall we do?” Jiraiya questioned and I shrugged.
“However much you can handle, dear.” with that, I disappeared over the snow, and used my chakra to stand on it.
It took some talent for one to stand on simply water, but it is much harder, and not very many people know how to stand on snow that isn’t packed in. They usually fall, and that is why all I could see were the mountain tops with familiar faces carved into it.
I walked around for awhile, heading towards the Hokage mansion. I had an excellent sense of direction when it came to Konoha. But when it came to anywhere else, well I might as well use a wrong map.
I tapped at the Hokage's office window, seeing that he was sitting at his desk sucking away at his pipe. He looked over surprised, but calmed slightly when he saw me. He waved me in, and I obeyed, opening the window and leaping in.
“Hello, Miss Teale. What can I do for you?” he inquired, rubbing his neck. I sat myself on his desk and curled myself up into a ball.
“Where does Uzumaki Naruto live?” I responded and his eyes narrowed suspiciously.
“Why do you ask?” I raised an eyebrow at him.
"So I can make sure he's okay. Perhaps bring him home with me." I smirked at him. "I won't bite," I reassured.
