The Lone Ranger

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

The island of Falskaar is located northeast of Whirlpool. Whirlpool was the home of the Uzumaki clan before the clan was wipe out. There are still few Uzumaki alive and some of them live on Falskaar. The Uzumaki of this tale is name Naruto Uzumaki and he wil become a hero.

A homestead located a day and half away from Amber hold. Two people live in this house. First, is a beautiful black hair woman in her early thirties? The woman has pale skin with charcoal eyes that made her look exotic. The woman name is Mikoto Uchiha and she is the last known Uchiha that is alive. Mikoto does not know if her son escapes Konoha.

The second is a young blond man that is between sixteen and eighteen years old. The Man's hair is short and a yellow blond hair color. He has tan skin with bright blue eye that made him look handsome. The young man is Naruto Uzumaki and he is respected on this island. Naruto likes living on the island with Mikoto.

Naruto is chopping wood with an axe. He lifts the axe over his head and brought it down on the piece of wood. Then he picks up a log and repeats the same action as before. Naruto is chopping wood for the long winter that is coming.

Mikoto is checking the generator to see it will run. She checking the spark plugs and cleaning them. As Mikoto let the old motor oil drain, she checks the gaskets. The young woman never thought she would become a mechanic. Mikoto let out a small laugh, as she put the oil plug back in. She made sure put oil and the spark plugs in the right spots.

Mikoto add the fuel into the generator. Then she put fuel cap back on the machine. Mikoto put on the choke and pull the pulley. The generator starts up, so Mikoto put it to run. The engine start smoking, then a loud bang s heard. When the engine dies and Mikoto lets out a groan.

Naruto yell, "Mikoto is everything alright!"

Mikoto yell back, "I am fine but the generator went out!"

Naruto runs over to Mikoto and sees the generator still smoking. He rubs his temple with two of his fingers. Naruto knew that a new generator cost them a small fortune. Mikoto pull out a rag from her coverall's rear pocket. Then she uses the rag to clean her hands.

Mikoto said, "I can try to fix the engine in generator. But, it will take me time to fix the engine

Naruto ask, "How much time will it take to fix the engine?"

Mikoto answer, "A month or two, if I have the right part. If I do not have the part, who knows how long it will take me."

Naruto sighing, "I hate ordering parts to the machines. Last time we order for a Machine parts. The machine parts took almost two months to get here."

After cleaning her hands, Mikoto at Naruto. He is wearing black coveralls with a blue long selves shirt. Naruto is wearing work boots and gloves. Mikoto feel a little blush on her face. Every time she looks at Naruto. Mikoto remembers the love, she felt for his parents.

Naruto look at Mikoto and a small blush on his face. Mikoto is wearing blue coverall with a black long selves shirt. She is wearing work boots and her hair is in a ponytail. Even with the grease smear on her face does not take away from her beauty.

Mikoto notice that Naruto is looking at her. She knew Naruto is slowly falling for her. While she had no problem with Naruto liking her. Mikoto has a son that is a few years older then Naruto. She wonder what would Itachi say if she dating someone that is Naruto's age.

Mikoto playful throws the rag into Naruto's face. She laughs at Naruto reaction when the rag hit his face. Naruto look at Mikoto, before he grabs her. With a quick move, Naruto had Mikoto over his shoulder. He walks toward a small pond and Mikoto sees what is going to happen.

Mikoto shout, "You better not throws me in the pond! I will punish you!"

Naruto toss Mikoto into the cold water of the pond. Mikoto let out a small scream as her land into the cold water. When she emerges from the water, there is Naruto laughing. The woman wipes her face then stares at Naruto.

Mikoto said, "If you are done laughing. Can you help me out of this water?"

Naruto calming down, "Give me your hand and I will pull you out."

Mikoto grab onto Naruto's hand. He began to pull Mikoto out of the pond. Then Naruto lost his footing and fall back with Mikoto landing on top him. Naruto groan, as Mikoto shake out the cobwebs. Mikoto look down at Naruto to see a red blush on his face. Naruto notice a small red blush on Mikoto's face.

Mikoto lean down toward Naruto's ear. Naruto's heartbeat quicken as the young woman got closer to his face. She notices that Naruto's heartbeat is racing. Mikoto let a smirk from on her face.

Mikoto whispers, "What kind of shinobi loses their footing?"

Naruto answer, "A dead shinobi."

Mikoto said, "Yes, but we are not in combat. So, you slipping and falling make you a fool."

Naruto let out a groan while Mikoto laugh at his failure. She leans back into a sitting position in his lap. He rises into a sitting position with Mikoto in his lap. They look at each for few seconds.

Naruto runs his fingers through his blond hair. There been a question on his mind for a while. He is worry that Mikoto might take it the wrong way. Naruto love her more then a parents. He wonders if Mikoto wants a mature relationship.

Naruto question, "Can I ask what kind of relationship we are in?"

Mikoto answer, "Two people, who care for each other. That is the best answer; I can come up with at this moment."

Mikoto thinking, "I do not want another relationship like I had with Fugaku Uchiha. That womanizer caused a lot of trouble for the Uchiha Clan. That's why I have trust issues with other men in a relationship."

Naruto kiss her forehead, "I will take that answer for now."

Mikoto hug him, "I am sorry, but I was burned by love before."

Naruto rub her back, "I know you had issues with your late husband. I saw how he treated Itachi and you. I will not let anyone hurt you again."

Mikoto said, "Thank you, can we stay like this for a while."

Naruto reply, "As long as you want my dear friend."

They stay there until the sun set. Naruto and Mikoto's legs went to sleep. They rub each other legs to get blood flowing again. Mikoto felt happy in a long time.
