A Kunoichi's Time:

This story begins during the beginning of the Chuunin Exams.

Scroll 1: Konohagakure Village

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Yukari Uzaruki groaned to herself as the pounding on her front door interrupted her snooze. She rolled over onto her back and let an arm flop over her opening eyes.

"GO AWAY!" The red-eyed girl hissed at the noise.

Fortunately, the pounding stopped. Pulling the pillow over her head, Yukari rolled back over onto her side. Sleeping was bliss. Was. Until she felt something heavy sit on the edge of her mattress. Sitting and…not sitting, but perched and moving.

"I swear; if this is some sort of joke…" Yukari sat bolt upright and stared into squinty blue eyes.

Six facial stripes sat on masculine cheeks as a smirking set of lips set off the rest of the boyish face. The blonde, spiky hair-style was held back by a navy blue headband with a metal plate on it; describing the village icon: a leaf. A blue collared, orange jacket sporting a swirled patch sewn onto the right shoulder came next. Orange pants covered the legs and then the feet sported dark-blue sandals as they continued to push up and down on the mattress, making it move like a waterbed. The same feet that belonged to the male shinobi that went by the name Uzumaki, Naruto. The fool was grinning at her as he perched on the end of her bed.

"Morning Yukari-nee-san." The blonde-haired teenager chuckled from his bedpost perch.

Stark-red eyes stared back at the blue orbs as Yukari gave this nut-case of an intruder five seconds to hit the road. Ideas of heartless and utterly mean torture ran through her head as those five seconds ticked by. Naruto remained perched on the end of her bed grinning like a fool. Yukari cracked her knuckles, growled and narrowed her eyes as Naruto caught on and sweat-dropped. A harsh beat-down was imminent.

On the street outside; a father and his daughter were walking by when they sounds of a brawl issued from the open-window above. The sounds of shouting, cursing, pounding and things breaking made the two villagers wince in awe.

"Daddy? Does a ninja live behind that window?" the brown-haired girl pointed innocently at the high window from which the noises emerged. There was a lull in the chaos behind the plate of open glass.

"Yes, Neiko-chan, a ninja has to live in there." The sandy-haired father placed a hand on his daughter's head as the smiled and went on walking down the path; moving on with their daily business.

Meanwhile, the ninjas gasped for air as they both fell onto the floor; landing on their rear. The young shinobi and kunoichi sported multiple bruises and cuts. Naruto had a few on his cheek and had a huge lump on his head. His blue eyes looked across the distance to his opponent. Yukari was wrapping her hand around a cut on her upper arm, smirking as she saw that Naruto had indeed landed a series of decent hits.

"Heh, I got you good, Yukari-nee-san." Naruto gasped as he reached up to adjust his ninja headband.

"Rrrr! Naruto, you jerk! What's with you sneaking into my room!?" Yukari glared at the blonde-haired prankster. "Aren't you suppose to be training for the last part of your stupid chuunin exams!?"

"Heh…I am." Naruto stood up and looked around to see their mess. "I just thought since you weren't doing anything, we could go see Bushy-Brows and Kiba in the Med-center. I know they might genin, but everybody else is too busy training."

"Lee-kun, huh?" Yukari picked herself up and smirked. "Are you trying to hook me up with Lee-kun!?"

"Huh?" Naruto, of course, looked clueless. Yukari sighed and shook her head.

"Never mind. So…I heard you got stuck training with the closet-pervert, Ebisu-sensei." Her hand went through her shoulder-length black hair to push the strands out of her blood-red gaze.

"Eh? I was until the Ero-Sannin came and beat the closet pervert, Ebisu-sensei, up." Naruto shrugged again as he took a seat on a chair he turned upright.

"Who?"

"Ero-Sannin. The pervy Toad Sage. He's an open-pervert. Heh…" Naruto turned his gaze towards his not-much older, feminine rival. "I got him good with the Sexy no Jutsu. I think you'd have him on his knees in mercy, Yukari. I know you can do the Sexy no Jutsu."

"How do YOU know!?" Yukari squeaked out as her face turned red.

"I saw you do it once." Naruto casually answered.

"Why YOU! HOW DARE YOU SPY ON ME!" Yukari growled, narrowed her eyes and cracked her knuckles; then advanced on Naruto. Beat-down was again, imminent.
