Nozomi's pov

"Wake up you going to catch a cold sleeping on the ground like that"

  I feel someone shaking my shoulder.I open my eye and stair up at the person kneeling beside me. They are wearing a pink kimono and have long black hair and black eyes.
"What are you doing out in the woods?" I say as I sit up.
"I'm collecting herbs for my sick friend" They wave their hand towards the basket of herbs by there feet.
"Would you like some help" They nod their head yes and show me which herbs they needed to gather. I walk over to a patch of herbs and begin to help them fill there basket with the one they needed. After their basket is full I turn towards them and say.
"So how's Zabuza?" They looks shocked for a second then their eyes narrow.
"How did you..."
"You have the same chakra signature as the hunter nin that saved Zabuza. Don't worry I don't want to hurt you or Zabuza. I just want to make you a deal."
"And why should I make a deal with you"
"Because this deal will save your lives"
"What do you mean?"
"The person who hired you to kill the bridge builder Gato. Will kill you once you complete your job. I don't have any proof all I have is a gut feeling. All I ask is five minutes of your time."
They lean towards me and look me in the eyes.

"You have five minutes"
