send a clone to follow her (fail)

"She has yet to lower her guard so I doubt you could capture her easily," said Minato. "I don't know enough about ice style to know if she has a rapid movement technique. You should not follow her yourself if she sees you, she could lead you into a trap."

"So, I should send a clone," asked Naruto in his head as he gathered a few herbs.

"That would be the best. based off the basket she is using trying to change into an herb won't work. they could not see anything and if they can't pop without being seen it will be discovered as soon as she grounds the ingredients. "

"Got it," said Naruto. he moved near a large tree and made a clone that appeared behind the tree. the clone nodded at him and moved to hide itself. they spent another twenty minutes gathering ingredients before parting ways.

"Hope your friend feels better," said Naruto. "Not," he added in his head.

"Thank you for your help, Naruto Kun," said Haku she then turned and walked away.

"No problem," said Naruto. he then turned and started to walk towards Tazuna's. as he entered their yard he stopped, and a scowl appeared on his face. "Damn that will be annoying to deal with," he said. his clone had lost her as she made a series of ice mirrors and traveled between them a large distance while dispelling them behind her.

"Indeed," said Minato. "It could even be more deadly in battle so let Kakashi know what happened."

"I will," said Naruto. he finished walking to the house to tell Kakashi what happened.
