The dessert shin obi ran through the green labyrinth of trees trying to find somewhere to help his injured new friend when he came across a wooden sign nailed to a tree ’Konoha straight ahead’
“Perfect! Hold on Hanakaze we’ll have you fixed up in no time” he said smiling in a determined attitude“You don’t have to do this, it’s just a scratch I’m fine ugh” she said still grasping her bleeding shoulder“Where I’m from if a lady’s bleeding she ain’t alright” he replied holding her tighter to him. Hanakaze though in pain still blushed with a bright pink colour on her cheeks *I wonder why he’s being so nice to me? He doesn’t know who I am or anything about me…yet…I like him already, he protected me back there from the most dangerous man around, he’s valiant and kind* she thought to herself as the two headed for the villages gates ahead of them.

A couple of hours later, Hanakaze laid in the hospital with her shoulder bandaged up. She was awake but still in a bit of pain. Moments later Shurshot entered the room holding a bouquet of flowers he’d picked “Good to see you’re looking better…um I mean less hurt, I don’t think you look better tan before…not saying that your not attractive because you and uh…I’m I still talking?” he said turning bright red in embaressment. Hanakze just giggled “You don’t talk to girls a lot do you” she said joking. “Hehe, not really” he said turning more pink than red now “At least not ones as pretty as you are” he said laying the flowers on her lap, Hanakaze blushed as she picked up the flowers “I can’t thank you enough…Shurshot? Was it?” trying to remember his name“Yep, Shurshot’s the name, number one Shinobi from the village hidden in the canyons, in fact…” he paused for a moment “…I’m the only Shinobi in my village…”he sid slightly disappointed. Hanakaze was slightly confused about “Only Shinobi? How can that be?” she asked as she sat up in the bed to lean further toward him. “It’s a long story…but to make it short, Shinobi arent very popular where I’m from for some reason, I’ve never been told what it was. I used to be farm hand on a ranch for a guy I worked for. Lifting hay, cleaning horses, all that kinda stuff. But one day a bunch of guys in black and red attacked us from nowhere. All I could was hide and watch the carnage. But then just when it seemed all hope was lost another guy showed up, this time to protect us. I don’t know who he was but he had silver hair and was wearing a mask over most of his face. From day on I wanted to be just like that brave guy who saved us. Unfortunately the rest of my town didn‘t like being upstaged by him, so they hated when me when I started training”. Hanakaze had wide eyes at this point *Silver hair and a mask?* she thought *Could he be talking about Kakashi?*.

Later on when Hanakaze was fit to leave the hospital, she thought she give her new friend a tour of the town, as well as meet her friends. The two began there tour at bar. Where most of the guys hung out. As they entered, drunken men-folk began whistling at the pair “Hehe reminds me of home” he said smiling, Hanakaze giggled back at him before noticing Naruto and Hinata talking at the drinks bar “Naruto! Hinata1 Hey guys” she jogged over to them as they to respond “Hana, good to see you!” Naruto yelled with a cheesy grin opening his arms wide to hug her, only to have her slide under him and stealing his seat “So what’s up guys?” she asked, Hinata noticed the bandaged wound on her shoulder “Did you hurt yourself training again Hana?” she asked concerned. Hanakaze frowned a little and shook her head “I was attacked…by the snake…” she said in a gloomy tone. Hinata gasped in shocked “You mean…Orochimaru!” she salpped her hands over her mouth knowing how much Naruto hated that name. Upon hearing those words Naruto’s eyes became angered as he growled faintly.
“Calm down Naruto, I was saved before he could really hurt me” she explain to him resting her soft hand on his shoulder. This relaxed Naruto as he unclenched his shuddering fists “Saved? By who?” he asked. Hanakaze pointed to the desert Shinobi that had valiantly rescued her from certain peril “Who’s that?” Naruto asked with a puzzled look. “His name’s Shurshot” Hanakaze replied “He scared him away” she added smiling at Shurshot, he blushed out of modesty
“Really its wasn’t a problem, I just needed to do the right thing, but anyway whats so bad about that pastey guy anyway, Orochimaru is it?” he asked, the three friends looked shocked at him “What? What’d I say?” he asked puzzled by their reaction.
“You’ve never heard of Oro…I mean…the snake?” Hanakaze asked, her hands were trembling slightly *So that’s why Shurshot wasn’t scared of Orochimaru, he had no idea who he was dealing with, he was in serious danger and didn’t realise it* she thought to herself “It’s a long story…” Naruto said, Hinata and Hanakze turned to him shocked that he wanted to be the one to tell him. “Orochimaru used to be on the side of good and one of the greatest ninja forces out there, in fact he and his team were known as the legendary three, but he became obsessed with power and thirsted for it and defeced from the ninja ways, he’s tried many times to take over the villages but we’ve delayed his efforts, he’s almost unstoppable…I find it very strange that he feared you for some reason” he told the desert shinobi. Shurshot was listen to Naruto’s explanation intently *Woah…what was I getting myself into?* he thought to himself. “But enough about that!” Naruto added “Point is you saved our friend and that’s makes you Ok in my books” he told him holding out his hand to him, Shurshot took his hand and shook it as a friendship gesture. “Oh where our manner’s?” Hinata said poking her fingers together “I’m Hinata” she said to Shurshot as she blushed faintly “And I’m Naruto, also known as the next Hokage, BELIEVE IT!” he said holding his chin to make a proud pose. Shurshot just laughed “Nice to meet you guys, you know, I’ll think I’ll hang around this town for a while” he turned to Hanakaze and smiled “Something tells me I’ll like it here” he added sitting down to order his drinks

Hanakaze blushed softly *He’s really nice, and though I’m a little embarrassed to admit it, but he’s a hotty too*
