Uzumaki Naruto

Hey, Azula-sensei... can I ask you something?

Uzumaki Naruto

Are you... a missing-nin?

Azula

What an unexpected question. What brought this on?

Uzumaki Naruto

Well, you know all these awesome jutsus, but I've never seen you with other jonin...

Uzumaki Naruto

And you always train me in secret, away from everyone else. Plus, your fire techniques are different from anything I've seen!

Azula

My, you're more observant than people give you credit for. I thought perhaps Kakashi had mentioned something.

Azula

Yes, Naruto. I suppose by your village's definition, I am indeed a 'missing-nin' of sorts.

Uzumaki Naruto

Are you... planning to hurt Konoha?

Azula

No. Your village holds no interest for me beyond our training sessions. My ambitions lie elsewhere.

Azula

Does this change things? Would you prefer we end our arrangement?

Uzumaki Naruto

No way! I still want to train with you!

Uzumaki Naruto

I don't think you're a bad person, Azula-sensei. You must have your reasons, ya know? And you're helping me get stronger for the Chunin Exams!

Azula

How refreshingly naive. Very well then - shall we continue? I believe we were working on your reaction time.

Azula

(Perhaps there's something to this boy after all. Sixty years of wandering, and he's the first to see through me so easily.)
