When Naru Uzumaki was thirteen, her whole life changed.

It took just one mission, one fight and one person to change her whole life, led to her moving to a different path. If Naru could have seen the future, could have known about what the fight with Sasuke would lead to then she had no idea if she would still have done it. She probably would have. If not because of what she gained then because of the promise she made to Sakura-chan, Sakura-chan who had asked, no, begged her to bring back their asshole teammate. Not once in her life had the girl ever asked her anything. Naruto couldn't say no to her friend's request not when she knew how much it hurt her friend's pride to ask her to bring back their teammate.

Till this day, Naru didn't blame Sakura for what happened nor Orochimaru even though it was his hickey that caused her beloved asshole of a teammate to do what he did.

She also didn't blame the bastard, believe it or not, even if it was his damn jutsu that changed her whole damn life (she lay the blame on the hickey mark on his neck). No one could have known that the clash of two powerful jutsu would have resulted of her being sent to some different world although it probably was in the academy textbook. She wouldn't know since she never bothered reading those boring school textbooks. If anything when Naru looked back at it, she was kind of grateful for Sasuke, for Sakura and even Orochimaru for what happened because if it didn't happen, she wouldn't have found peace, wouldn't have found acceptance and would probably still be her lonely self if she had stayed in Konoha, if they had found her.

What she did blame Sasuke for was wounding her chest! That was something she couldn't give him an excuse after all what kind of asshole tried to use a jutsu and wound their friend on the chest? She hadn't even realized this until she woken up in some deserted alley. It was after all the first thing she noticed beside the alley way, after all how could she ignore the fact there was blood dripping out of her jacket? Not only that, it was her favourite jacket, which was also the only damn jacket she had on her! If Sasuke had been with her, it was safe to say she would have punched and kicked the bastard before demanding he paid for the cleaning service.

Seriously did he know how hard it was to find a perfectly good orange jacket?

She had to take off her orange jacket, tore a sleeve off of her beautiful, only, black shirt before having to crawl to the shadier part of the alley because it hurt like hell for her to walk. Just trying to crawl was a pain in the ass for her with both her arms and legs aching from the attacks she had taken. Naru hoped the bastard felt the same pain she felt or something much worse because it annoyed the hell out of her that she couldn't walk properly just yet. She sincerely hoped her teammate was suffering in Orochimaru's lair and came to realization he was being an idiot and needed to go back to the village. She wrinkled her nose. Who knew what that creepy man was going to do Sasuke! He looked and acted like a damn paedophile when they met him the first time around.

Was his revenge so important that he would go to a paedophile?

If she ever got back home, Naru decided after she created her shadow clone who had specific orders to find out where the hell they were and the nearest country to them, she was going to drag Sasuke for some counselling. Being around a paedophile even for a minute must have done some damaged to his brain right? Hmm, her teammate was going to need someone to remind him there was still some hope or at least make him forget he had ever gone to a paedophile for power.

Taking off her shirt, she grimaced at the sight of her chest where she could make out a hole that was slowly being closed off. Taking in a deep breath, she wrapped her chest with the sleeve of her shirt before putting on her shirt again. She probably needed to go to a doctor about this but Naru didn't know how she could explain this wound to them. It wasn't like she could go around telling people that her best friend nearly murdered her with a jutsu or that he betrayed the village. To ninjas it didn't sound crazy but how could she explain it to a civilian who probably didn't understand these things?

Maybe, she should just ask for a medic-nin if they had one here.

Her thoughts were interrupted when a flood of memories of her clones rushed into her mind. Gripping her head, Naru groaned and closed her eyes before gritting her teeth at the information she just learnt. It seemed like she couldn't get a goddamn break today. If her day was bad before, now it was just plain old terrible. Why did bad things always happen to her? It seemed like she was the only one in the whole world who could get herself kicked to a whole different universe!

"Seriously, did I do something in a past life to deserve it? What god did I piss off in my previous life?" She ran her hand through her hair. "Of all the things to happen to me, it had to be this! Even being kidnapped by Orochimaru would be a hell lot better than this shit!"

Taking in a couple of deep breaths, Naru pushed herself up from the ground, hissing as she did so. Putting on her orange jacket and zipping it up, she made her way out of the alley. Before she did anything, she needed to find out more about the place she ended up in. It was one thing for her to get into trouble in Konoha, where she knew she could at least get the help of Tsunade and the others, but it was a whole different story for her if she got into trouble in this place. She certainly wouldn't have the Hokage backing her this time if she did something stupid.

It probably be a good idea if she got a job too because Naru doubt that her money in Gama-chan would be accepted by these people.

To be honest, coming to this world wasn't when her life really changed if you asked Naru. It happened right after she started to do her search for a job, it happened just as soon as she got out of the alley way. Her life changed the moment she stepped out of the alley and heard the screams of someone crying out for help, crying out for someone to save them and begging the attackers not to hurt him. She couldn't have ignored those cries, she wasn't heartless like some of the stupid villagers believed.

Even though she was hurt and knew she couldn't really run properly, Naru decided to follow those cries of help. Maybe if she hadn't followed those cries of help then her life in this world would have sucked, if she hadn't met him then she wouldn't have met the others, wouldn't have made the friends she had gotten. It was probably why she didn't regret what happened, didn't regret the choices she made even if he did. Till this day, he blamed himself for what happened, for what it eventually led to but he was an idiot because if it weren't for that day she wouldn't eventually have made friends, gotten the love she had always dreamt of.

She ran and ran, straining her ears as she tried to find the source of the screams. The louder the screams were, the faster Naru would run. She eventually stopped when she reached the playground, where several teenagers seemed to be surrounding a brown-haired boy. What kind of assholes would do this? Why the hell are they attacking this boy who looked so god damn innocent? She gritted her teeth and clenched her hands into a fist as the leader of the gang pulled the brown-haired boy up by his collar.

What happened next was what caused her whole world to change.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO HIM?" The leader and his gang turned their body around and stared at her while the brown-haired boy twisted his head around and gaped at the sight of her. She walked towards them with her hands on her hips and an ugly scowl on her face. "PUT HIM DOWN!"

"What happens if we don't?" The leader sneered at her. "Are you going to hit us…little girl?"

She grinned. "Yup so if you don't want to get hurt, drop him down and I won't hurt you or your pride. It'll be very embarrassing if a girl beats you in a fight."

"You think you can beat us in a fight?" She nodded, causing the teenage boys to laugh while the brown-haired boy looked at her with wide eyes. "How could a fragile girl like you beat us? I bet a girl like you have never been in a real fight before."

She twitched and gritted her teeth at the man's comment. No matter what world she was in, civilian men still looked down on females. Well maybe she needed to show the idiots why they shouldn't make her angry, shouldn't look down on girls. No one could insult her strength and get away with it, didn't matter if they were civilians or not! When it came to her strength, Naru didn't give a damn about who they were, they could be the daimyo of this place and she would still punch them.

Taking in a couple of deep breaths, she made her way towards the first gang member and punched him in the stomach. He promptly fell down to the ground, earning gasps from the other members of the gang. She tilted her head and gazed at the leader. "What did you say about me not beating you guys in a fight?" he stared at the fallen member of his gang. "It seems like I beat this idiot without breaking a sweat. Maybe it's you guys that can't beat me in a fight."

He glared at her before barking orders at the other gang members, who were staring wide-eyed at the sight in front of them, to fight her. They shifted their eyes to their fallen friend, then to her before finally resting their eyes at their friend before rushing towards her. Smiling, Naru avoided their attacks and gave each member a punch to the stomach, which promptly caused them to fall down the ground.

"Now are you going to drop the boy or not?" She asked the now pale-face leader.

Nodding his head furiously, he dropped the boy before scurrying away from her, not once did he look at his fallen friends. She grimaced. What a coward! He should have stayed and fight like his friends did! And how could he leave his friends like that? She hated low-life like him, hated how they abandoned their friends when they saw that they were no longer useful to them or could no longer protect them from harm. If it wasn't for the fact she was still wounded, she would have punched the bastard for doing what he did.

Shaking her head, Naru made her way to the brown-haired boy who was staring at her with such wide-brown eyes that just reminded her of a deer. "They were a bunch of assholes to surround you like that," she smiled widely at him and helped him up, gazing at the fallen gang members, "You aren't hurt are you?"

He stared at her with wide eyes before slowly shaking his head and muttering a word of thanks, which just made her smile. She couldn't help but stare at the boy, who had a hazy look in his eyes as he stared at her. There was something about the boy that reminded her of someone, something about him just made her want to protect him but most of all, Naru knew she couldn't leave him alone by himself. There was just something about him that told her she needed to be by his side.

There was just something in his eyes that told her he couldn't be left alone, something inside of her was telling her that she needed to stick by his side. Something was telling her that this boy in front of her was going to be someone important to her and that he may have the clues on finding a way back home.

"What's your name?"

"Huh?"

"What's your name?" She repeated herself. "My name is Uzumaki Naru but you can call me Naru, what's your name."

"S-Sawada Tsunayoshi," he muttered, "But you can call me Tsuna."

She grinned. "Hey Tsuna, I think you and me are going to be great friends."

"W-What? We just met!"

"That doesn't matter because I decided you're my friend now," he blinked and blinked his eyes at this, "I defeated a couple of bullies for you, the least you can do is become my friend."

And that was the day where Naru met Tsuna. It was after that day she started to live in his house after she fainted from her wounds and Tsuna had no choice but to take her to his mother to see if she could fix up her wounds. She didn't remember the exact details of how she started living there but she did know one thing that came from this event. If she hadn't met Tsuna then everything that was going to happen to her, both good and bad wouldn't have happened if she hadn't saved him.

To be honest, Naru didn't regret saving him.
