Naori managed to regain her bearings slowly as she gently lowered Naka to the ground. She looked into the eye of the barely conscious Naka and ensnared him with a simple sleeping illusion forcing Naka to fall asleep instantaneously. Taking a deep breath, she turned to face the platoon leader once again, trying to shake off the sheer density of the chakra the platoon leader was using to saturate the air around him. The platoon leader looked at her with an impassive gaze before tossing his silver hair with a sense of finality. He waved his hand. Just as fast, other Kusa nin leaped forward, ready to apprehend her and Naka. Though they stood more than 50 feet away from her, they were making quick progress towards her. Naori clutched her sword tightly. But neither Naori nor the Grass nin would physically engage each other. As the Kusa nin made their way halfway through the field littered with bodies of the Uchiha clansmen, a body fell from the sky, landing in front of Naori and Naka with a sickening crunch.
The Kusa nin stopped immediately. Naori lowered her sword slightly. Both she and the Kusa nin gawked at the strange scene in front of them. The body in front of her was definitely a man. The man's blood-red hair seemed to blend in with the blood-soaked fields around him, taking in a deep saturation of the red color that Naori didn't think was possible. His hairy spikes stood up in an unruly manner, resembling the tall grasses that named the Land of Grass. With his hair color and the round face he had, the man also reminded Naori strongly of a tomato. The only thing that broke the resemblance was the long three whisker lines on the man's face that seemed to make him look vaguely like a fox. Wearing nothing but a fishnet shirt and orange pants, the man groaned and seemed to scrape at the ground to pick himself up.
The man picked himself up and groaned, clutching his bruised sides warily before noticing the spectacle around him. He suddenly stood up and looked around with a sense of both urgency and embarrassment. He rubbed the back of his neck as a blush seemed to force its way into his face. "Ah, this is embarrassing."
"Who are you?" The Kusa platoon leader growled out, his chakra presence becoming almost too stifling to bear for the tired and injured Naori. The redhead's whiskers wobbled a bit as his fox-like eyes narrowed a bit having evidently felt the growing chakra saturation being sent out by the platoon leader as a measure of intimidation. The redhead patted his back and let the dust on his shirt and pants fall down, shaking his body a bit. The redhead's azure blue eyes flickered towards Naori widening a fraction as they made eye contact. Naori didn't mean to do it, but she had been pushing chakra into her Sharingan in preparation for a defense and her Mangekyo acted subconsciously pulling the redhead into a genjutsu. Nothing happened. Naori's mouth fell slightly as the redhead turned to the Kusa platoon leader nonchalantly.
My name is Naruto Uzumaki." The redhead answered with an even tone, though it had a hint of steel in it. Naori grasped her sword tightly. With that hair coloring, she supposed she should have guessed the redhead in front of her was an Uzumaki. Yet still, Uzushio, the homeland of the Uzumakis had been wiped out by Kiri during the ending stages of the Second Great Shinobi War. As far as everyone knew, there was only one remaining Uzumaki who lived in Konoha. She knew that the supposed Last Uzumaki was the girlfriend of one of her cousin's sensei's. Of course, it made sense that some were still scattered throughout the nations, keeping themselves hidden. Kiri and even Kumo would jump at the chance to slaughter an uncounted Uzumaki. 'Yet this Naruto guy just gave out his name without fear….'
Evidently, the platoon leader recognized the name. His eyes widened a bit before he reined in the level of chakra he was leaking, plastering a diplomatic smile on his face. "Mr. Uzumaki. You have accidentally I am sure, stumbled into an official inquiry of the Land of Grass. Please make yourself scarce. If you wish for lodging and the such then Kusagakure is not far from here. Simply go north for a few hours."
