Hey! This doesn't necessarily follow the continuity of the Naruto Anima/Manga! So don't blast me out of the water if something doesn't fit right. I apologize in advance. Also, this is merely and introductory chapter, the next one will focus on one specific character rather than three. Other than that, enjoy, and review! Thanks for reading!

Enter: Three Kunoichi! The Scorpion, The Deer, and The Flower!

Naruto Uzumaki groaned as a loud knocking was heard on his door. He had just gotten back from his first ever real mission, and all he wanted to do was sleep. "Naruto! Wake up! It's Iruka sensei, there's something really important I want to talk to you about." He yelled through the door. Naruto crawled out of bed, what on earth could be so damn important? The blond haired ninja opened the door and glared at his sensei. "What the hell do you want?" Naruto snapped. Iruka only smiled down at him. He had a steaming cup of ramen in his hands.

"Let me in, I have some great news for you." The young boy groaned, but opened the door a little wider; Sensei had at least brought food with him. Naruto watched irritated as his sensei began to babbly on incessantly about something or other. "I'm really proud of you by the way." He said. "Kakashi told me what a good job you had done." Iruka nodded approvingly. Naruto said nothing; instead he attacked his ramen like a beast coming upon its prey after a winter of nearly starving to death. "Hey! Slow down, you don't want to make yourself sick do you?" Naruto only grunted. When he had at slurped the last of the ramen he eyed his old teacher. "So what's this surprise?" He asked.

Iruka only smiled and handed him a slip of paper. "You've had breakfast, now take a shower and get dressed, make sure it's clean clothes, there's a very special someone here to meet you in the village today, you don't want to disappoint them do you?" Naruto shot out of his chair. "Why didn't you tell me that earlier?" He yelled. "Oh man! Who is it? Is it some royal?" He asked. "Is it a hot princess asking for my hand in marriage?" A lecherous grin found its way to his face. "Not exactly." Iruka said, chuckling nervously. "It is a girl, and she is a princess in her own way, but I don't think you two will ever marry, at least I hope you won't."

"Is she pretty?" Naruto asked, getting more and more excited by the minute. "She's very cute." Iruka supplied. "Alright! What is she doing here for me?" He asked. "Get ready," Iruka said. "And everything will be explained to you all in good time. Oh by the way, she'll be a new team member as well." "Hm?" Naruto frowned. "I thought there were only allowed to be three per team, to you know, balance things out?" Iruka nodded. "Usually yes, but she's an exception to the rule. Also, there are two other very important Ninja coming to the village, they will be added to new groups as well." Naruto nodded. "Now hurry up, we don't want our princess to be kept waiting do we?"

"No! Believe it!" Iruka smiled as he watched the whizzing of blond hair all over the place.

Shikamaru groaned as his mother woke him up. "Shikamaru!" She snapped. "I thought I told you to clean this room!" Shikamaru winced. "I don't see why." He said. "It's not like Shikaru cares what it looks like."

"I don't care if Shikaru cares, that's your sibling and you are to give them a warm welcome! Clean this room up or I'll do it for you!" Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "How troublesome." He mumbled. A few moments later there was a knock at his door. "Come in." He said. Choji and Ino made their way into his room. "Wow, this place is a dump!" Ino scrunched up her nose and looked around. "Is it true?" Choji asked, getting right to the point. "Is Shikaru really coming back home?" Shikamaru nodded. "Yup, it's true."

"Do you think…?" Choji didn't finish the question. "I'm sure Shikaru will remember you, we talked about anything and everything in our letters." Choji let out a big grin. "Hey, who's this Shikaru person you're both talking about?" Ino asked feeling left out. "It's Shikamaru's younger sister." Choji informed her. Ino's mouth dropped. "I didn't know you had a younger sister!" She said. "Why didn't you tell me this?"

"It never came up." He said. "Besides, she's been gone for years now; I didn't know when she was coming back until last week."

"Ugh! You knew last week and you didn't tell me?" Choji whined.

Shikamaru let out a small smile. Shikaru had accepted Choji as soon as he had entered Nara's house for the first time, instantly calling him brother, and treating him like one. They had grown close as a result; he had been devastated when she left to go train specially. "And she's not only coming back big guy." He said, wrapping an arm around his friends shoulder. "She's going to joining our team." There was a moment of silence before the sudden outburst from Choji; he seemed more excited than the rest.

Maito Gai couldn't feel more energetic this morning. His students noticed, he was running them into the ground quicker than usual. "Yeesh Gai Sensei." Tenten said. "What's got you all excited?" A brilliant flash of white teeth nearly blinded her. "My daughter Juniper Lee is coming to train with us!" He said with all the excitement of a three year old getting the biggest ice cream scoop ever. "You have a daughter?" his three students asked. They thought about it, and basically came up what the female version of Lee, but with longer hair. Gai nodded. "She's three days younger than Lee!"

"That's great Gai sensei! When does she arrive?" Lee enthused. "Any moment now."

"What she like Gai sensei?" Tenten asked, she was excited to have another girl on the team. Gai bit his lip. Unfortunately, due to some maternal problems, Gai had only been able to spend one day a year with his daughter. Unfortunately, those days had been over shadowed by Juniper's delightful family, and he could only ever get two words to her. So he sat back and just observed his little girl.

"She's sweet." He said finally. "Very patient and she has a way with children, I don't know much about her ninja training, but I've read her file, and she's very good at what she does." He nodded, that was all he could give them. "I can't wait to meet her!" Lee said enthusiastically. "She sounds great." Gai let out another million watt smile. "She is great, you'll see!"

Naruto glared at his two teammates and his new sensei. "Hey! I thought this princess was coming to see me!" Naruto whined to Iruka. He smiled. "Yes, she is specifically coming to see you, but she has to see her new team as well."

"I don't see why that's so important." Naruto huffed. "You will once we get there."

"Hey Iruka Sensei, who is this girl?" Sakura asked as they headed off. "Um, I can't tell you that, she swore me to secrecy."

"Oh come on! We promise to act surprised when we get there." Naruto said. "I'm sorry guys, but nothing could make me tell you." And it was the truth. The Princess was just so damnably cute it would break Iruka's heart just to see her frown once. He knew that it was mostly because she had perfected the cute act over the years, using what was natural.

Sakura and Naruto moved back, crestfallen. "How long is it going to take?" Naruto said, changing the subject. "Not very long, that is if she hasn't misbehaved." Kakashi said. "What do you mean?" Sakura asked. "The young girl we're about to meet, this 'princess' is a very skilled ninja, but she's lacking in the most basic of training, such as focusing her chakra, or, focusing at all." Naruto's eye rose. "If she's such a skilled ninja, why is she having trouble with focusing her chakra?" He asked. "Because, she was specially trained in certain areas, and she's pretty much perfected everything else. Of course, her original Sensei could have trained her in basics, but she was adamant on…" He looked at Naruto. "Getting to know you." Naruto's face nearly broke in half because of the wide, goofy grin that had planted itself there. "What makes Naruto so Special?" Sakura snapped.

"Is that him?" A small voice said. The group turned. There was a wide eyed girl looking at them fearfully. She was clinging to Iruka for dear life. She had blond pig tails and large blue eyes. As if Naruto had come up with a more demure model for his Sexy Jutsu. She was wearing an orange tank top, with orange pants and the standard shinobi sandals; she had small earrings, and a hair clip to hold her bang from her eyes. "Yes that him." Iruka urged. The girl let out a large smile and hopped right in front of Naruto. "My Name is Nobu Uzumaki!" She chirped happily. "It's nice to finally meet you big brother!" She bowed and clasped her hands to her back.

The group stared at her. She was almost unbearably cute. "Wha-what are you?" Naruto asked. Nobu frowned and looked up and Iruka. He nodded his reassurance. "I'm your sister." She said, letting out a small smile, shyer this time. "Is this some kind of trick?" Sakura yelled. "Because this isn't funny."

"This is no trick." Kakashi said. "It's all real, that's really Naruto's younger sister, she was taken from the village for classified reasons." Nobu looked at the ground a small blush coming to her face. "I'm sorry." She said, sniffing, immediately turning her cute up to three hundred. "I didn't mean to upset anyone." A little choke was heard in her voice. "Gah! No, don't start crying!" Naruto said. "It's ok; I was just surprise that's all! I'm glad to have a little sister!" He began to dance around her like a puppet. Kakashi sighed, this was just one of Nobu's many abilities, she melted anyone, even the strong Shinobi with her crazy cuteness. And if that didn't work, she tried something else more deadly. Poor saps like Naruto just couldn't handle it.

"N-no, it's ok." She brought her hands to her face to wipe away a few crocodile tears. "I can go if you want."

"Wahh!" Naruto got more erratic. "No, I promise its ok. I was just surprise, really!" Nobu looked up at him, blue eyes sparkling. "Where you really?" She sniffed. "Yeah, really, Belive it!" Her face instantly brightened up. "Yay! I was hoping to surprise you!" She said. She took his hand. "I've always wanted a big brother you know!" She said. "And then one day poof! I found out that I really had one." She leaned in conspiratorially. "It made Tsuku-sama so mad, but don't tell him I told you that, he'd get really angry then." She giggled. Naruto let out a sigh, that had been easy, and who the hell was Tsuku? "Anyway, this is Sakura Haruno," Iruka said, interrupting them, "Sasuke Uchiha, and you're new sensei, Kakashi Hitake." Nobu beamed and bowed low. "It's a pleasure to meet you all." She said. "I look forward to training with you too!" She added. Naruto gave her thumbs up. "Yeah! Alright! I have a sister! Whoo hoo! I'm gonna be the best big brother ever! Believe it." Nobu looked on and clapped, joining in with his festivities. "I'm going to be the best little sister." She said giggling. If things got anymore cute, Kakashi was afraid he'd have a heart attack.

Shikamaru was getting irritated, Shikaru was never late, she was early for everything. He looked at his watch. One minute to eight, she was cutting it close. "Oi, Shikamaru, would you freaking sit down?" Ino commented. "He can't, He gets like this every time Shikaru-Chan cuts it close to her arrival time." Choji commented through a mouthful of food. "Really? Since when does her care about the time?" Ino asked. "Since he became an older brother. It may not look like it, but Shikamaru is really over protective of his sister." Choji confided. "Really?" Choji nodded. "Yeah, they're really close, they sleep in the same bed an everything." Ino scrunched her nose. "That's so weird" She commented. Choji shrugged his shoulders. "Shikaru's kind of neurotic." He informed her. "She doesn't like to sleep without someone, or something, in the room with her. Her mom wouldn't allow her any pets, so she just slept with Shikamaru."

"But that room is so small, how to they share it?"

"Shikaru-Chan is a minimalist." Shikamaru informed them. "She doesn't believe in excess of anything, unless its excess money, which I'm sure she has enough of by now, damn it she's late!" He pointed to his watch. It was directly on eight o' clock. "Relax big bro." A voice sounded, they all turned. "I'm right on time."

"No, you're late! You usually arrive early!" He snapped. Shikaru Nara let out a big smile. She looked exactly like Shikamaru, but with boobs, a curvier figure, and much longer hair. "I missed you too brother." The two siblings embraced each other. "H-Hey Shikaru-Chan!" Choji called. "Choji! My brother from another mother! What's up big guy?" She hugged him as well. "I missed you; we gotta a lot of catching up to do guys." She hung around their necks. Ino cleared her throats. "Oh, hullo." Shikaru said nonchalantly. "You must be Ino Yamanaka. Shikaru Nara at your service, but not really, because I don't like servicing people, it's usually the other way around.

Ino gritted her teeth, she already didn't like the over bearing girl. Shikaru smiled. "Don't look so fucking uptight." She said. "I'm only kidding yeesh!" She untangled herself from her brother and Choji. "come on, Lunch is on me, I heard they were doing this whole, 'all you can eat and its free' thing down at this barbeque place, I don't know about you, but I'm pretty fucking hungry."

Gai looked at the young girl in front of him. She took nothing from her father but the straight, jet black hair. The rest was nothing but her grandmother. Blue eyes, delicate frame, rosy cheeks, skin to die for. She was holding a small puppy in her arms. The rest of his students were flabbergasted. "I'm so glad you could make it!" Gai said. He flung himself at his daughter. The puppy barked a little. Juniper let out a small giggle. "I missed you too daddy." She wrapped her arms around him.

"These are my students!" He said turning around, not entirely comfortable with his daughter there with him. He never had this much interaction with her, and it was unnerving him, he wanted to seem like the coolest dad in the entire world. "Rock Lee, Neji Hyuuga, and Tenten!' Juniper smiled and bowed. "Hello, my name is Juniper-Lee Gai, you can call me Juni if you like." Lee was the first to bow. "It is a pleasure to meet you Miss. Juni." She smiled. "No, there pleasure is all mine, Daddy often talked about you guys in his letters. I hope you don't find this creepy, but I feel like I know you all so well already." She let out a smile and Lee's hearted melted. "No creepiness at all," Tenten reassured her. "It's nice to have you on our team." Juni smiled. "We were just in the middle of training." Her father said. "If you want, you can sit out for today." Juni shook her head. "No, I'd like to train too. And don't go easy on me because I'm you're only child." Gai flashed her his famous smile and thumbs up. "Alright! Lets do this!" She put her puppy down. "Oh, by the way, this is Kujo." She said. "I hope you don't mind daddy, little brother gave him to me." Gai nodded. "Not a problem, now lets get on with this training."

Nobu looked at the training ground, she had insisted on getting a grand tour of the village, the first stop had been a ramen noodle stand. "Actually." Nobu informed them. "Ramen makes me sick." Naruto looked at her, mouth wide open. "Well, there's the first difference." Kakashi observed. "What? But, ramen is the best thing in the entire world, how the hell can it make you sick?" He said. She shrugged. "I dunno, it just does, it's the same with barbeque." Dejected, Naruto moved on and showed her other things. She stopped at the flower shop for a moment, frowning. "what's wrong Nobu-Chan?" Sakura asked. Nobu looked at her. "Nothing." She said. "I just miss all my plants back home."

"I didn't know you were a botanist." Iruka commented. Nobu smiled. "Yup! And an Entomologist too."

"What the hell are those?" Naruto said. Sakura smacked him. "You're such an idiot Naruto!" She said. "It means study plants and bugs." Nobu told him. "I'm really good at it too!" She puffed out her chest. "I'm the best in the whole village! They called me Sakura Hime!"

"That's so cool. Did you just grow flowers?" Sakura asked. Nobu shook her head. "Course not, I grew a lot more than just plain old flowers, some breeds I even made up myself." Everyone looked at her. She blushed. "Sorry," She said. "When it comes to my plants and my bugs, I get excited." She explained. "They've pretty much been my life for the past couple of years. Show me the training grounds." She said, changing the subject. Naruto grabbed her hand and led her away, and now there they were. She looked over it critically.

"Um, ok." She said. "What's the matter Nobu?" Kakashi asked. She shook her head. "I'm not used to being trained someplace so…tame." She admitted. "What do you mean tame?" Naruto asked. "That's right, you and your team were trained extremely differently than everyone else." Nobu nodded. "How different?" Naruto asked, getting frustrated. "Um, well, very different." Nobu said. "I can't really talk about it." She said. "I'm not allowed, my Sensei told me that if I told anyone, I'd be dead in three point five seconds." The children gulped. "That's horrible." Sakura said. Nobu shrugged. "A small price to pay for power."

She walked around getting the feel of things. Sasuke had hung back the entire time, doing nothing but observing her, and he couldn't help but be put off, how the hell can such an impish little creature be a powerful Kunoichi? Like Kakashi had warned them earlier. His thoughts were interrupted. "Since we're here Nobu, why don't we start on your exercises now."

"But! Kakashi Sensei! She just got here." Naruto protested. "No time like the present!" Nobu said enthusiastically. "What would you like me to do?" She asked plaintively. "I want you to walk up a tree." He said simply. She glared at him. "You talk to Sensei didn't you?" She asked. Kakashi's one eye closed, indicating a devilish smile underneath his mask. "I have no clue what you're talking about." She sighed. "Fine, but be prepared to have a bigger training ground." She mumbled. Naruto looked at his new sister intently. "What do you mean by that?" He asked. "Just watch." She mumbled, looking for a poor innocent tree. She chose the biggest of the lot. She pushed her chakra down to her feet, but before she could even touch the tree, it shattered into millions of shards.

The group looked at her, astonished. "Sorry!" she yelled. "I can fix that!" She did a couple of hand signs, and before the last shattered piece of wood could touch the ground, the tree was put back together as if nothing had ever happened. "What that hell?" Naruto yelled. Sasuke's eye twitched, he had a feeling there was more to Nobu Uzumaki that met the eye.

Shikaru looked at the table, stuffed. "Oh man, that was fucking good." She said, and let out a long belch. "I didn't know girls could eat so much." Asuma, her new sensei commented. "If you think that's a lot," Shikaru started. "You should see my friend Nobu, she eats at least twice as much as Choji does on a good day." Everyone just stared at her. "Its true, and she never gains a freaking pound, it irritates me so much! I wanna pack that much food into my belly." Shikamaru groaned.

"So, Shikaru, how hard are you used to working?" Asuma asked. "I work full throttle at all times. However, depending on the situation, my full throttle can be lower, or higher that day."

"Your sensei sent me your file, in it, it states that you're good with the human body." She nodded. "The physicality only, I can't diagnose any of those diseases and crap, I can get you in the best shape of your life though." She beamed proudly. "That doesn't surprise me at all." Shikamaru said. "Yeah, considering you freaking tore all your dolls up when you were younger to look at their insides." Choji added. Ino looked at her shocked. "I can't help it, I love my fellow humans…" She paused. "Well, at least their insides." She smiled at Ino, who scooted a few inches away from her. "Anyway, what did you study?" Shikamaru asked. His sister shrugged, now that she was seat in between the two boys, Asuma noted how small she really was. He fired she barely reached his waist. "This and that." She said. "Mostly physical therapy."

"Yeah, ok, but, the last time we talked, you said you were on your way to becoming a great ninja, and you said you wouldn't be back until you reached that goal…" Shikamaru said. Shikaru smiled. "Ok, you caught me, I'm actually here on a secret mission." She confessed. "What is it?" Choji asked. "That's the whole point of 'secret' Choji." Shikaru said, and petted him on the head as he began to pout. "Don't worry Bro number two, if everything goes ok, there won't be any problems, and things will go off without a hitch." She said.

Choji settled for that answer, but Shikamaru wouldn't, he knew his sister better than that, something must be really wrong, or she was lying, and his sister never lied, she told the brutal honest truth. He would try to figure it out later, somehow, he would trick her into telling him.

Juni looked at her near dead teammates. She was still on her feet, and barely sweating. "Wow, you're amazing Juni-chan." Lee said. Juni laughed. "Practice." She said. "intense practice." Gai looked at her. "What did you practice Juni?" Tenten asked. "Stamina one oh one?" Juni laughed. "You won't believe me when I tell you." She rubbed Kujo's head. "Try me."

"Dancing." She admitted. "Dancing?" Tenten sounded incredulous. "There's no way you can get that into shape by dancing!" Juni smiled. "There is always a way," She said. "to do something you love, and use it to your fullest capability."

"that's my girl!" Gai said, clapping her on the back. "Working with what you have." She laughed. "I'm hungry daddy." She said. "Right! Stay here! I'll go get you something to eat." With that he was off. "Wow, he's enthusiastic isn't he?" She said. "Hey, Juni, can I ask you something?" Tenten said. "Sure go ahead."

"Well, I mean, you're how old? Thirteen?" She nodded. "And Gai sensei is twenty six…so…how can you be his daughter?" Juni smiled. "Obviously he's not my real dad." She said. "He adopted me a long time ago." Tenten nodded. "If Gai-sensei isn't your real father, why are you coming to live with him?" Neji asked. "Neji! I think that's over stepping our boundaries!" Lee commented. "I agree, you can't ask her that." Tenten said. Juni put her hands up. "Guys, it's alright, we're going to be a team right? You'll find out eventually. My mother…she um, found out that I wasn't exactly going to go along with her plans, and kicked me out."

"That's horrible!" Tenten and lee said. Juni shook her head. "No, what would be horrible was if I didn't have my daddy around, then I would really be in a pickle." She said. "This is true." Lee told her. "Wow, you look on the bright side of things don't you?" Tenten said. "I have no choice, I learned to do that with my friend."

"Friend? Who? What friend?" Lee asked. "Guys, honestly, I think we've grilled her enough." Tenten said. "I don't mind the questions." She said. "Her name is Nobu, she's a bright and cheerful young child, the most adorable thing you ever did meet." Juni explained. "You probably won't believe me when I tell you this. But She's Naruto Uzumaki's younger sister."

"What? No way!" Lee said. "that's impossible." Juni shook her head. "Nope, it's not. I can prove it."

"Then do So Juni-Chan!" Lee said. she smiled, keep up." She disappeared, knowing her father would be able to find her easily if he so desired. Her three new teammates followed her.

Nobu growled as she manage to put another tree back together. "This is so frustrating!" she growled. "I hate this." She's kick the three, but she figured it had put up with enough of her abuse. "Take is easy Nobu concentrate." Kakashi lectured her. "Concentrating on her chakra control has never been one of Nobu's finer points." Everyone turned to look at the new voice. There was Asuma Sensei and his team, with a new girl. She was extremely short, and looked exactly like Shikamaru but curvier with boobs. "Shiiiiikaaaaa-chaaaan!" Nobu squealed and ran over to the girl. "Nobu!" The new girl held out her hands to Nobu, picked her up and swing her around. "I missed you!" Nobu squealed. "We've only been apart for three days." Shikaru said. "That's three days too long!" Nobu whimpered. "I didn't know you were here either! How com you didn't tell me you were coming too?"

"Because we wanted to surprise you." A new girl came into view, she was with Gai's team. "Juuuniii!" Nobu made her way over to her and hugged her as well. "Hello Nobu, how have you been?"

"Good! I missed you too Juni!" Nobu said. "Oh, and I want you to meet my brother and new teammates. Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and this is Kakashi Hatake and Iruka Umino sensei." The two girls bowed. "I'm Shikaru Nara." The Shirt brown headed girl said. "This my brother, Shikamaru Nara, my other brother, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, and my new sensei, Asuma Sarutobi."

"And I'm Juniper-Lee Gai. Call me Juni please. These are my new teammates. Rock Lee, Neji Hyuuga, and Tenten, my new sensei slash father isn't here, but he's Maito Gai." Everyone exchanged pleasantries.

"Now that everyone is introduced to everyone," Shikaru wrapped her arms around Nobu's neck. "Did you give your brother and new sensei your dietary needs list?" Shikaru asked. Nobu looked down. "I forgot." She said. She reached into her pants pocket, and handed Kakashi and Naruto a list. "Unfortunately, I have to be fed on a regular basis like this." She said. "If I don't, stuff happens, and we don't want stuff to happen."

"Don't worry though." Shikaru said. "Those are only for missions so you can prepare properly, Shikaru and I have her dietary needs covered while she's in the village." Juni finished. "Nobu, this is a very expensive diet." Kakashi commented, looking over the list. "Extremely expensive."

"I know!" Nobu said. "What makes it worse is that I eat all that in one sitting." Naruto just looked at her. "You do not eat all of THIS in one sitting." He held the list in front of her. "Oh but she does compadre." Shikaru said. "she eats every last little bit of that, she's eat the bones from the meat if we let her."

"But you don't because that could be used to flavor other foods." Nobu said. "Of course Nobu doesn't have to eat all that in one sitting, she can moderate it throughout the day is she desperately needs to," Juni said. "But it's preferred to eat it all. Also, Nobu, this is for you." She handed her a package. "old Mrs. Wang wanted you to have it, it's all her tea recipes." Nobu squealed. "I love that old lady!" She snatched the package from her hands. "this is all well and good guys, but if you don't mind, I would like to get back to Nobu's training." Kakashi informed them all. Juni and Shikaru nodded. "Right! Nobu, a little tip, remember, you're not training like you used to," Shikaru said. "So you don't have to tap into your reserve at all."

"Also, underestimate your chakra use for now. On everything." Juni advised. "Adjust accordingly that way. "

"And go slowly, you know when you get angry you tend to rush things," Shikaru told her. "And that never ends up well."

"And above all else." The girls looked at their blond haired friend. "Good luck." They both gave her a thumbs up. Nobu nodded. "I could do it!" She said, and fist pumped the air. "Here, hold this." She shoved the box into her brothers hands and approached another suspecting tree. "Wait!" Juni said. "One last tip! Think about it like you're growing your plants Nobu-Chan! Life giving, not life taking." Nobu nodded.

When she was ready, she gingerly placed her foot on the tree, nothing happened, she placed another foot on it, nothing. She began to make her way slowly up the tree, leaving flowers in her wake. "What the? What's happening to the tree?" Naruto asked.

"Nobu is special." Juni said. "Very special. That's all." Naruto. "I'll say, first she goes from blowing trees up! To freaking growing flowers on them? What the hell." Shikaru looked at her. "Its, kind of awkward really." Shikaru said. "But, we'll leave that for another time. Word of advice Kakashi, reward her often with words of encouragement, and never yell at her, she hates being yelled at, but don't be afraid to push her, if she gets whiny, feed her, if she's still whiny taunt her." Shikaru shrugged. "Other than that, good luck to you man."

"We salute you for undertaking such an ardent task!" Juni said. "There was never a better or nobler man we set eyes on."

"hopefully you survive!" Shikaru and Juni saluted him, and walked off. All in all, it had been a pretty successful day for the people of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

Phew! First chapter down! Things will get more interesting, don't worry! (In case anyone was wondering the ships are as follows: NobuX Gaara, JuniXLee and Shikaru is as of yet, undetermined. Any ideas for her would be helpful.)
