Day 2
Naruto took Karin and Nagato to Ichiraku. Since they all loved ramen, he thought they needed to try Ichiraku at least once. Ayame told them it was on the house. After ramen, they went back to Naruto's apartment. They played games the whole night. Nagato fell asleep first, therefore earning himself a drawn on mustache. Naruto fell asleep next, also earning himself a drawn on mustache. The last one asleep was Karin, luckily staying mustache free. Nagato fell asleep on the couch, Naruto fell asleep on the floor, and Karin fell asleep against Naruto's shoulder.
Day 4
Naruto introduced Karin to Sai. He forgot to explain that Sai was weird and socially inept. Karin just stared at Naruto with the most please-help-me-what-do-I-do face. Naruto realized his mistake and guided her away. He then explained Sai and his weirdness. Karin punched him and the shoulder and caused a small wrestling match to start. Sakura approached them and tried to get Naruto to leave the "poor girl" alone. He stood up looked at her smugly. He explained that Karin was an Uzumaki and was staying with him for a while along with another Uzumaki, Nagato. During his entire explanation, the smug look never left his face once.
Day 5
Nagato wandered around the village. He looked at all the shops and businesses. He enjoyed talking with the villagers. None of the civilians recognized him and most of the shinobi were too young to recognize him either. He was able to walk around without having to worry about being bombarded with questions or threatened.
He just let his bangs hang over his eyes and walked around. While walking, he encountered a Jounin with sliver hair and stopped to talked to him. While talking, the Jounin caught sight of Nagato's Rinnegan and began questioning him. Nagato confirmed that he was indeed Nagato, leader of the Akatsuki. The Jounin was about to report him to the Hokage, but stopped when Nagato explained he was visiting Naruto. At that very moment, Naruto walked up to them and leaned on Nagato's shoulder. The Jounin off guard that his student was just so casually hanging out with the leader of the Akatsuki. Naruto explained to Kakashi that they were family and explained to Nagato that the Jounin was his sensei. Everyone was much calmer after they had an explanation.
Day 8
Karin accidentally met the Konoha Twelve around the village. She befriended Hinata after meeting her for the second time. They spent the afternoon walking around the village and talking. She noticed hinata would blush whenever Naruto was mentioned. After an hour, she confronted Hinata about it. She admitted that she liked Naruto but was too nervous to talk to him about it. Karin promised to talk to Naruto about it later. She knew she just gained a new best friend that day.
Karin finally got Naruto to sit down sometime during the afternoon. She asked him if he had a crush on anyone. He was very vague with his description, but he confirmed that he did like someone. She pieced together his description and figured out it was actually Hinata. He said she was "sweet", "kind", "powerful", "shy", and had "really unique eyes". She asked him if it was Hinata and he immediately went red and started stuttering. He was surprised she figured it because he thought she hadn't met Hinata yet.
Day 10
Karin met up with Hinata at the park. She told her that Naruto liked her and that she should really talk to him about it. They talked about it for a while before Hinata left with her team for a mission. Karin decided to go talk to Sakura before going back to Naruto's. She realized that this was the girl Sasuke always talked about. He had told to her that he really cared about a certain girl and he actually missed her, but made Karin promise to keep it a secret.
"Have you ever met him?"
"A few times."
"I really miss him sometimes."
"He looks like misses you too."
"What?"
"Just what I think. I need to head back. Bye."
"Okay. Bye, Karin."
Day 12
"Why are you so happy?" Karin asked Naruto as he literally skipped into the living room.
"I just went on a date." Naruto sat on the couch and smiled.
Karin grinned. "Hinata?"
"Yup! Thanks for telling me to ask her!" He said.
Nagato walked in. "Why is he so happy?"
Karin turned to face him. "He just got back from a date with Hinata."
Nagato smirked. "Oooh. So?"
Naruto didn't even respond. He just giggled and blushed. Karin kept teasing him for the rest of the day. She went to the park and just sat in the grass. She was enjoying the weather and watching clouds. She noticed someone getting closer. Said person sat down next to her. Neither of them said anything, they just sat in silence, watching clouds.
"So?" Karin prompted.
The other person giggled. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Glad I could help you, Hinata." She hugged her.
Hinata hugged back. "I'm going to miss you. You'll be back, right?"
Karin let go. "Of course. I'll come during October and May every year."
Day 14
Naruto, Karin, and Nagato spent the morning packing. Sakura came over around noon to say her goodbyes. She hung out for a bit until it was time for Karin and Nagato to leave. Nagato shook her hand and hugged Naruto before he left. Karin hugged Naruto before leaving. Naruto waved from his doorway while crying. Karin and Nagato also shed a few tears as they walked towards the gates. On her way out, Karin stopped to hug Sakura.
"I'll be back next year." Karin said
Sakura wiped a tear from her eye. "If you see him again, tell him I haven't forgotten about him."
"I will. Bye, Sakura." Karin began walking away.
"Goodbye, Karin." Sakura waved.
