BOOK ONE | 87 Chapters | She's the girl who can't seem to have others keep their eyes off her. Not cause she's attractive, but because she isn't.
She's the girl that's constantly teased and denied of any meaningful friendships. Not cause no one refu...
Nia looked behind her to see Naruto running up to her. She allowed him to get in front of her but didn't say a word.
"Curly Brow," He started, "I'm sorry for what happened back there. I got carried away, ya know? I'm not usually like that."
Nia still didn't say anything.
"I don't feel what you think I do, all right? I'm not like Pervy Sage. I was just trying to keep my word to you, ya know?"
"Naruto... that's the problem. I never begged you to sleep with me. I just meant to say that I wanted you to sleep near me so you could keep me safe from the rats and spiders." The girl explained, "I was trying to tell you that yesterday but you wouldn't believe me."
"GWA! I'm such an idiot!" The blond now fully understood his mistake, "Curly Brow, forgive me! I only made that move cause I really believed that... you wanted to... do that stuff... with me and because... Pervy Sage always told me that..."
He then lowered his eyes in disappointment.
"I like you, Naruto." The kunoichi reminded the genin once more, "Maybe how I reacted was a bit too much. After all, it's my fault you got the wrong idea."
"Huh? You're apologizing?" The genin lifted his eyes back to the girl opposite of him.
"Yeah. I don't want there to be tension between us over a misunderstanding. I wanna stay by your side." Nia replied, "You've done so much for me so I have no right to be angry at you for something so little."
"C-Curly Brow," Naruto, overcome with relief, got on one knee then looked to the girl with exaggerated tears running down his face, "You're so gentle."

This only caused Nia to giggle, "It's all good, Naruto. I'm just really happy you just misunderstood what I told you and made me realize that you were only acting the way you did cause you believed I wanted to sleep with you. I'm really sorry."
"If I were to have done that to Sakura, I don't think I'd be alive right now, ya know?"
"She... would've killed you," Nia sweat dropped as she remembered all the times she witnessed the pink-haired girl threw her angry fists at the blond, "but don't worry. I wouldn't hurt a single hair on your head, kay?"
The ninja stood up and bowed awkwardly, "You really have gone soft. Curly Brow, you treat me like some kind of angel now."
