Path not Taken 14

Azula

These Konoha guards are pathetically easy to evade.

Azula

Now, where is that loud-mouthed jinchūriki hiding today?

Uzumaki Naruto

Argh! I'll never get this right! How am I supposed to become Hokage if I can't even hit the target?

Azula

Your form is terrible. No wonder you can't hit anything.

Uzumaki Naruto

Whoa! Where did you come from? Are you a ninja too?

Uzumaki Naruto

Wait, I've never seen you around the village before...

Azula

Let's just say I'm a... visiting specialist. I lead my own village now, but I come and go as I please.

Azula

The old man Hokage doesn't need to know about our little... training sessions.

Uzumaki Naruto

You lead your own village? That's amazing! Will you teach me some cool jutsu? Nobody else ever wants to train with me!

Azula

I could teach you things they'd never show you in this village. Power they fear to give someone like you.

Azula

But first, tell me about that special chakra I sense within you...

Uzumaki Naruto

Wait... how do you know about that? Who are you really?

Uzumaki Naruto

(Something feels off about her... but nobody's ever offered to train me before...)
