Who is that guy and how does he know that Sasuke is the last Survivor of his clan and when did that happen, learn this now.

They pass a small pond with a small whirlpool in it and the masked guy answered a little distracted but not suspicious to that.

“Oh I’m sorry that you have to ask me for an introduction. I was just a little careful cause you looked so dusky especially your leader, the last Uchiha there.”

The mentioning of the last Uchiha surprised Sasuke and with a very surprised expression he asks how the masked one can know this.

“How did you know I’m the last Uchiha, I never saw you before and I didn’t tell it to you till now.”

Without breaking a sweat he confident tells him how easy this was to find out.

“Well this wasn’t hard you have the Uchiha crest on your clothes even it’s little it’s easy to see and tell for trained people.”

Then Juugo put himself in the conversation because he wonders how a random traveler can know of this.

“But this didn’t explain why you know the story of him being the last?”

The disgusted person sweats a little but answers without showing concern.

“True but even when they tried to hide the true it’s a well known secret among traveling-nins what happened and guessing from his age he only could be the surviving kid.”

The term traveling-nin let Karin wonder what this is and Sasuke explained it before she could ask.

“Traveling nins are also called free-nins. They do not belong to any of the villages but they are neither nuke nor missing-nins.”

This reminds Karin to what they are now.

“Kind of what we are now.”

But Suigetsu remarks the situation of Sasuke in that.

“Well, besides of Sasuke who left his village and went to Orochimaru and therefore is consider at least as a missing-nin if not a nuke-nin meanwhile.”

Now Karin is seemingly confused and ask what a free-nin is and how you can become one.

“But how became they free, I thought as soon as they leave the borders of their country they either missing- or nuke-nins?”

But Sasuke can also give a proper explanation of this.

“The leader of their village gave them free hand for their deeds, the bought themselves free or they kinda get kicked out of their village cause the suck too much in useful skills…”

Karin happily uses this to tease Suigetsu.

“Like Suigetsu got.”

For Karin disrupting him Sasuke became angry.

“Don’t disrupt me? Got that?”

Suigetsu grins (hehe scolded)

“Sorry…”

After that he continues the explanation.

“…or they learned their Skills out of a village reach. Like all you three.”

The masked one just simple agrees.

“Well that’s right. So let me introduce myself. My name is…”

Switch Scene to Naruto arriving Konoha.

Naruto heads to Konoha and is accompanied of a friendly breeze of wind which let him and his new cloths look really cool and then he arrives at the entrance of Konoha, or let’s say the entrance were most of all is still in tact.

Very eased Naruto enjoys the returning to Konoha.

“Aaaah finally there, Konaha is as beautiful as ever. I’m eager to show Kakashi-sensei what I learned at Myoboku mountain and that I even surpassed Ero-Sennin in the sage arts.”

Then he happily approach the north entrance of Konoha were the most beautiful and impressive trees of Konoha are located. Then he next thinks about Sakura and his friends.

“I also wonder how Sakura and the others will react if they see what I’m capable of now. Granny Tsunade surely will get mad if she learns that I surpassed Jiraya and even her in mutual strength at least while I’m in Sage-Mode. I just remember the first time we met Tsunade.”

Now a flashback of the scene where he and Jiraya met Tsunade rushes through his mind. After that he just laughed about it and proudly comments something.

“Hihi… something like hat will never ever happen again.”

Then he arrives at the north gate of Konoha but something isn’t right there but he not really thinks something bad could have happened to Konoha while he was away.

“That’s kind of fishy there is no one guarding the entrance and there are many big columns of smoke in the village. Hah I know, they already heard of my improvement and they party cause they know that I’m now unbeatable.”

Naruto steps happily in and a few steps later he sees the destructions… a despairing expression adorns his face while he wonders what could have happen here and worrys about his friends.

“What the hell happened here? It looks like there was a really big bomb explosion all what’s left of the center is a big deep and waste crater. I hope they are all right…”

Switch back to Hawk and the masked one.

The masked one just finished his introduction

“…and I’m a long time free Kunoichi.”

Karin is happy and surprised that the masked guy actually is a woman with a name she likes much.

“This is a nice name for a Kunoichi. My name is Karin, this is the annoying idiot Suigetsu, this big guy is called Juugo (careful sometimes he tends to go crazy and kill what he can kill until someone stops him) and that is the pretty, wonderful, godlike Ninja and the leader of our Team Hawk, the last, the one and only Uchiha Sasuke.”

After finishing this sentence she asks Sasuke if it was okay to tell her all their names.

“Is it OK that I told her our names including yours?”

Sasuke seemingly don’t care about this.

“I don’t really care, besides she already knew it.”

Karin happily thanks her beloved Sasuke though he showed no romatic, love like interest in her up to this point and then goes back to the woman.

“Nice to meet you, it’s good to have another girl around. This watery shit-head can really be annoying and neither Juugu nor Sasuke talks much and if, then they very coldhearted…”

“Nice to meet all of you too.”

After that Suigetsu compliments her for being that good in disguising herself.

“I must say you can pretty good disguise you. I had never estimated that this masked guy would really be a woman.”

The girl happily and proud thanks him for that.

Well As I said I am pretty long a Kunoichi even if I don’t look so and I’m a skilled one. Besides of my experience a free-nin is able to learn many things he or she couldn’t learn if stuck on only one village. You just have to put effort in it and never give up if it won’t work but I also had a good teacher in the past as well though he used this mostly as an excuse for peeping.”

This made Karin laugh.

“Pretty spirited you are but I kinda like this on you and we just met but somehow you just caught me.”

Now the woman becomes even prouder while she respond to this.

“You aren’t the first one; people say I’m just very charming for male and female alike.”

Well now we learned a little about this masked girl but what was her name and how will Naruto react if he hears what happened? You will see in the next chapter.
