Fox's Moon.

This is set right after the Zabuza and Haku part and before the exams. (About Ep. 20?). I do not own Naruto; I only own my own characters. There can and WILL be a bit of OOCnes. This is my first Naruto Story, so please don't hurt me! Okay? Thanks!

A large village. Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi were sitting on a bridge, all were hungry, tired and in a bummed mode. They spent all their money, had not eaten in two days and it was not looking brighter.

"I'm hungry, I want some ramen." Naruto whined, Sakura gave him a look of spite, Sasuke shook his head and Kakashi just kept reading his book.

"Be quiet." Sasuke said, not wanting to hear Naruto's whining. The three students's turned their heads when they heard their teacher's stomach growl.

"I think we should try doing odd jobs, maybe we can earn enough for some soup." Kakashi said.

"Like what?" Sakura asked. They looked around and saw a person breathing fire, a woman selling paper flowers, and a person juggling knives.

"Well I don't think we could do some of those." Naruto said. A shimmer of silver caught Kakashi's eye. He stood up and tried to spot it again.

"Sensei? What is it?" Sakura asked looking around.

"Do you guys smell that?" Naruto asked. The rest of the group sniffed the air, it smelled of spices, jasmines and something else.

"It wasn't here a second ago." Sasuke said.

"Let's go." Kakashi said, the three did so with out compliant. They walked down the main street, the sent was still there. Kakashi and the others saw another flash of sliver. A male ninja stood in front of them, he had a long bladed weapon in front of him. Another ninja appeared and grabbed Sakura and appeared next to the first man.

"Kakashi of the Sharingan Eye I presume. I am here to kill your partner. Tell me where she is and I will spare the girls' life." The man said.

"Get back boys. Who are you and why do you think I know where she is? Haven't seen her in nine months." Kakashi said.

"Don't lie to us. Tell us now or else this girl is going to be dead." The first man said. Naruto and Sasuke were inching to save Sakura, but their master's arm blocked them.

"I said stay. Let the girl go. I have no idea where my partner is and if I did I still wouldn't tell you." Kakashi said, a smell came to his senses and he ran at the man holding Sakura hostage. In a blink of an eye, both men were tied up, Sakura was on her knees and Kakashi looked in the direction of the alleyway to their right.

"You can come out know." He said.

A female ninja came out from the shadows. She had sliver hair in a long braid, a few strands of pink here were present, green eyes, tattoos on her arms and she had a Hitai-Ate Leaf Headband on. From her neck to her nose was covered with white bandages. She also wore bandages on her legs, lower arms, and around her breasts, over that were short black shorts and a dark red tank top that stopped right below her breasts. She had a kunai knife on each leg and a chain on her waist.
