Naruto : Shadow King

There were many candidates which wanted to pull over in the merry band he was forming. However, finding them was a headache.

He had no information network to search them or anything. So he could only search for them himself.

Having no leads, he could only use his knowledge of the anime to track those people down.

Right now he was in the country of waves, becuase he might get a lead here for the first person he wanted to pull into his group.

"Hello, I am looking for a girl who should be around my height, she is slender with a beautiful face..." Shika asked around the country of waves, this was already the third day that he came here looking for that person.

Its not necessary that that person has to be here but he can't help it, this is the only place he could thing of to search for that person.

"Ah no, there are not many people who come this route since the big bridge was formed. You should check out the area around the bridge..." said one of the vendor with a little sad tone, though he was helping Shika but by his face it was obvious that the vendor was vending out his frustration about the shortage of the customers around his stall due to the recently build bridge.

"Ah thank you... by the way uncle what are you selling, mind if I take a look." Shika said but he already took out some Ryo, enough to attrack everyone's attention towards him, already planning on purchasing no matter what they were selling. It was all food items, he could stock it up for future.

Inside the special storage scroll, this rations won't go bad anyway. With that done he was already moving the opposite direction to where those vendors told him.

Of course he went to check the area near the bridge, those vendors weren't much help but still he got some fresh fruits.

'Maybe if my luck is good then I could find a devil fruit among them...'

"Man... I am beat, its been so long but there is no trace of her/him ? I don't know anymore." Shika complained to himself as he plunged down to rest.

Yes, Shika all this time was looking for Haku, in fact, even before he had idea about leaving the village and creating his own group to fight against Akatsuki, he had an idea to bring Haku to his side. The person was strong and loyal if given right condition. And though he might be a boy but even Shika can't argue that the guy was super easy on the eyes.

However, finding her was hard, he didn't knew much about Haku to track him down. A character who supposed to be dead a long time ago, but lived due to him intervening. How he suppose to find him ?

Now his only hope to find Haku was his Shikigami's. He spread them all over the land of waves in the hope of finding Haku, however that was 3 days ago, and there is no news from them yet.

"Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place, this place shouldn't hold any particular importance to him, so there is no reason to stay in the land of waves.

Maybe I can check out the place were Zabuza died, its not that far from here, and then there is the mist village as well, both Zabuza and Haku were from mist village so maybe its possible that he went back.

Now that the policy of the blood mist was eradicated by Terumi Mei, its possible that Haku goes back, she is the only remaining member of the Yuki clan, definitely someone like Mei won't leave such a potential outside her village...." Shika muttered to himself, planning where else he could look for Haku.

But that was when suddenly felt a tug at his Curse Energy. This was one of his Shikigami who was looking for Haku. He almost jolted up, he knew what this meant, one of his Shikigami found him.

And sure enough, he was found near the place were Zabuza was died.

"Has he been living there all this time ?" Shika slowly tab his finger on his forehead, thinking what Haku could have been doing there.

'If Haku is planning on living a normal life away from everyone else then it will be hard to bring him back. Sigh...' Almost instantly his eye changed colour and he open the portal. And the next second he was outside the land of waves, only a little away from where Haku was spotted.

'I better not alert him...' Shika didn't wanted to put himself in an hostile situation against Haku so he didn't directly went to him but teleported himself a little away from his place.

Then just like an traveller lost in his way, he slowly tumble upon haku.

"Who's there..." Haku who was livving alone for months now suddenly call out. Haku was basically in Isolation all this time, though usually he goes out to purchase some necessary things and earn enough money that he can earn his living.

After the death of Zabuza, Haku completely gave up on the Ninja profession. At first he was thinking about pursuing Zabuza's dream to save the hidden mist from the blood mist policy but that too was done by the time he went back to hidden mist, the village was already under Terumi's control.

Now he was unneeded, alone and of no use of anyone. In this situation what he could do ?

For months he just travel all over the elemental nations, aimless, directionless. And ultimately having nowhere to go, he ended up coming back here.

"Just a traveller..." a reply came which Haku actually wasn't expecting. Being living in in forest for long enough, its was natural that he encounters many wild beasts. Though he asked out of habit, but internally he knew that it would be the same this time as well, until he heard this voice.

There was an inevitable feeling in him that he has heard this voice before. But couldn't recall where ?

"Who are you ?" Haku now was more cautious and on defence. Wild beast are one thing, they are nothing in front of a ninja but human.

"Just as I said, just a traveller. Don't worry I have no ill intention towards you or anything..." Shika reply as he slowly came out of the forest with both of his hands visible to Haku to make sure not to trigger him.

He wasn't expecting but the moment Haku saw his face, his eyes shone with recognition. Clearly Haku remembered him, he wasn't expecting that but this made things a little easy.

"You... I feel like we have met before..." Shika too was a good actor, from now on it depends on how well he can convince this trap to trap him in his idea...
