"Come on, we can't be lost!"

"Check the map, weirdos."

"Hey, this place is big, ok?"

"Geez, it can't be that hard to figure out! It's a big village thingy, right? So there'll be a big sign! Anyone read and/or speak Japanese?"

"Nope."

"Figures."

The seven girls, and their "guardian," if you will, were on their way to Konoha. Well, actually, they were trying to find it first. Two days ago, they had all received letters asking them to come train at the ninja school there...wherever that was. Of course, they all accepted. Why? Two reasons...regular school was evil, and ninjas weren't supposed to be real...

Dalton grabbed the map from the youngest one and studied it. Then he slapped his forehead in annoyance.

"We're not lost, you numbskulls. We're a mile away from the main gate!"

A collection of, "ooh's" went through the bunch of girls. Dalton eyed the girls angrily.

"Ok, who said we were lost?"

A timid hand rose into the air, "I did."

This was 14-year-old Amanda, the paranoid one. She didn't really trust anything she saw, but laughed at the dumbest things.

Sayuri twitched, "This is the fourth time you've said that! Calm down, we're almost there."

Sayuri was usually kind, if you knew her, but is easily annoyed.

"Ok."

The group trudged on. In the back, two girls were talking.

"Oh, I can't wait to get there! I've never seen a ninja before!" The younger one squealed, "I wanna be a good ninja!"

"It won't be that easy," The other contradicted, "It takes a lot of work. You have to train hard everyday, and then you go on dangerous missions. You're far from being a ninja, Frankie-chan."

Frankie was the youngest of all the girls, but she wasn't picked on. Most of the time she was hyper, and she couldn't think rationally. The older girl was named Hunter. She was serious lots of the time, and laughed maniacally at random moments.

"Look!" Kate pointed ahead, "Is that a ninja?"

Everyone was immediately on their tiptoes, trying to see the discovered target.

The ninja, they saw, was wearing an orange jumpsuit. He had spiky blonde hair and blue eyes. On his cheeks were what seemed to be...whiskers? And he looked really ADD.

That suspicion was confirmed as the group watched him have a spaz attack.

Naruto's POV

Holy crap! Look at all the chicks! Look at all the hot chicks...Gah! Snap out of it Naruto! You're supposed to greet the guests, not drool over them...

I slapped myself out of my mental spasm and looked around. The group was approaching. Ok, just stay on topic.

"Hi!" I grinned and waved, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki. Believe it!"

The girls giggled. What was so funny?

"Cute name," One of them replied.

"Huh?" I blushed a bit, "Oh, thanks. How about you? What's your name?"

She smiled, "My name's Kate."

I looked at the others, "Ok, and who are you guys?"

"I'm Wes."

"The name's Hunter."

"Kaycie!"

"...I-I'm Amanda."

"I is Sayuri!"

"Teehee I'm Frankie."

I pointed to the guy, "So you're their sensei?" He had to be, he was the tallest.

He nodded, "By the way, my name's Dalton."

"Cool. Well uh, I'm s'posed to escort you guys to the Hokage...Let's go!"

Back to Girls'/3rd Person POV

Naruto turned around and disappeared. Everyone gasped.

"W-where'd he go?" Amanda stuttered, "I thought he was leading us!"

Then Naruto reappeared with a sheepish grin on his face.

"Haha, sorry guys. I forgot you weren't ninjas."

A vein twitched slightly in Hunter's head and she glared at him.

"Let's just go before I'm forced to act irrationally upon you," She laughed creepily. Naruto had a scared look on his face.

"God, she's just like Sakura."
