Naruto swam after him in a slightly slower pace. He had no real reason to rush, but he didn't lag behind either. The swim only took a couple of minutes but it was almost nice. He didn't get the chance to swim often, but he also wasn't looking forward to walking around in wet clothes.

Once he reached the other side of the river, he trudged out and began to wring the water from his shirt. "The town is just straight ahead a little ways. It won't take long to get there."
