[Do you know what a wind user does in the rain? She kicks up one hell of a localized storm just outside the village. She's no waterbender, but she's seeing if she can concentrate enough on those gusts of wind to send the water in whatever direction she deems necessary.

It's not all that productive -- after all, raindrops aren't the best weapon -- but focusing on her control is always good training.

Besides, she's just happy to play in the rain.

Later, she'll be found wandering the village, soaking wet and not going in any particular direction. She might stop in the bakery for something sweet and she'll be popping into Good Spirits a little later for something bracing to drink.

She'll even address the village at large, via an unfiltered message in the journal:]

I love the rain.

[So sue her. She's actually in a good mood.]

[He picks up the journal and just groans loudly. He dropped the balloons too.]

Uh... hello? This still on?

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

[Oh, look. Mud. That's a nice view. Temari waits a bit, knowing that sooner or later, Naruto will figure this out.

Well, hopefully he will.]

Still on. Hi. What are you doing?

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

Oh. I'm just-- [WAIT. Only Shikamaru and Chouji are supposed to know about this! He must quickly save himself!] --doing nothing! Kinda just... hanging out.

[With balloons and mud. In the rain.]

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. [She believes him. Really.] You're hanging out. Those balloons friends of yours?

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

[...] Yeah. [IT'S A SECRET, DAMMIT.]

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

... They must provide some scintillating conversation.

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

Balloons can't talk, Temari.

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. And they're your friends, apparently.

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

Well... I didn't really mean it like that...

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

So how'd you mean it?

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

I'm just using them. [And hanging out with them.] No big deal, right?

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

Using them for what?

[Voice] 1/2

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

Uh... [He can't just say a prank. It's supposed to be a damned secret, so c'mon. Think of something Naruto, you can't let people know. Temari might as well be an enemy of his master plan.]

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

[...] A party!

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

What party? I haven't heard of anything.

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

It's supposed to be a secret right now!

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

[Wow, Naruto. You're the ninja-est ninja that ever ninja'd.] Right now? So when does it become public knowledge?

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

Uh... You'll see. [She will definitely see. Because he is totally ninja.]

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

When will I see?

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

When the time is right!

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

Naruto. What are you talking about?

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

You'll see in a couple of weeks. [After he convinces Shino to do something for him, at least.]

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

[Heh. He's being difficult. Time for Plan A: Be nice.]

Ah, come on, Naruto. Maybe I can help out, yeah?

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

[He will not falter! He needs no help! Except for the help from the people he needs help from!] It's gotta stay on the down low.

[Voice]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

I'm a bodyguard for the Kazekage. I think I can keep a secret or two.
