Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura took Tazuna back to his house and sent Naruto to go look for Himika because he volunteered. Naruto was speeding through the forest, trying to find the quiet girl who had run away.

'This forest is way too big to look for her alone.....' Naruto thought before getting an idea. 'That's it!'

Naruto quickly created about twenty shadow clones and sent them in different directions. Five minutes later one of his clones found her sitting in a tree, he started going to the right towards where his clone is. When he arrived he saw Himika sitting in a tree crying while her four purple tentacles wrapped around her body, almost like they were hugging her in order to provide some comfort.

"Himika?" Naruto called gently.

Her head sprung up quickly as she looked at Naruto with tearful eyes. Naruto climbed the tree using his chakra and was thanking Kakakshi that he taught them how to do it, he sat down on the branch next to Himika.

"Why are you talking to me? Aren't you scared?" Himika asked quietly.

Naruto sighed. "I understand what it's like being a monster, I have the nine tailed fox demon sealed inside me."

"But that's different, you have a monster. I AM a monster...." Himika muttered.

"But even if you are a monster, can't you talk to us? Maybe we could help you!" Naruto said, trying to cheer her up.

"How could you all possibly help me!?" Himika yelled in frustration. "Sorry Naruto, I shouldn't have yelled."

"I understand! You're frustrated! We've all been frustrated before, so let us help you!" Naruto replied.

Himika looked at Naruto with a small almost microscopic smile.

"I used to think of you as loud and annoying. But now I think you're my second friend." Himika stated.

"That's great! 'Cause you're my friend too!" Naruto said happily.

The two sat in silence before Naruto spoke.

"Can I touch them?" Naruto asked, pointing to her tentacle's.

Himika's eyes widened. "I guess so." She replied, moving one of her tentacles towards him.

Naruto stroked the purple tentacle as he thought about the weird almost scaly texture.

"It almost feels scaly." Naruto said.

Himika touched her own tentacle. "It is like scales." She murmured, never touching them before now.

"Will you come back to the house with me?" Naruto asked.

Himika looked at Naruto with a scared face, not knowing how to explain all of this to her team. Despite her fears, she nodded her head and slid down the tree, Naruto doing the same. Wanting to look less scary, she retracted her tentacles as they walked back to Tazuna's home.

When they got back to the house Naruto opened the door first, telling his team the news.

"I found her!" Naruto cheered, a huge smile on his face.

But as he moved aside and let Himika enter she noticed her team and Tazuna tense, Sasuke and Kakashi reached into their weapon pouches and kept a hand there.

"Himika." Kakashi said, his tone dead serious.

"Y-yes?" Himika muttered back, cursing in her mind about stuttering.

Kakashi felt bad for being so serious and scary, but in order to find out if she was a threat, he continued.

"We need to talk." He stated.
