Chapter 1: Welcome to Konoha
Disclaimer: For all you people who think I own Naruto you are so wrong it isn't even funny, I would like Orochimaru and Tobi though!
'Thinking'
"Talking"
'Kyubi'
STORY
Sakura knelt before a body lying motionless on the battle field. She looked at the old worn orange outfit he wore. 'Naruto' tears fell onto his face, as she tried to heal him.
"He, he, he S-Sakura" she looked at the blond and smiled "You'll be okay Naruto, don't talk" he shook his head weakly "No, I'll die, Kyubi has told me so" more tears fell from her eyes, he looked over and saw his sensei (Oh, yes I'm keeping Jiraiya alive!) he was fighting with some sound Nin. Then he saw Sasuke, he took care of the Nin he was fighting and ran over to Naruto. Naruto smiled and closed his eyes. Sakura started screaming words no one could make out. Sasuke let tears fall from his eyes for the first time in such a long time.
Sakura finally got up and marked the place of her fallen comrade with a large stick which she stabbed into the ground. She would come back to him but now she needed to kill the one who killed Naruto. Her village also needed her to help. There were people who were still alive that needed a medical Nin.
Sasuke stood there unmoving as Sakura thrust the stick into the ground. His dobe was dead. Sakura could do no more for him. He stood there thinking about the dobe until a sound ninja stabbed him in the back with a kunai bringing him back to reality.
When the fight was over Sasuke and Sakura went to where Naruto lay. They found the marker stick and approached the area. But there were no bright orange clothes. Naruto was gone.
LATER
A mass funeral was held a week later. Naruto's name was placed on the "killed in action" grave stone. It was a very nice day for a funeral. There were a few clouds in the sky but mainly it was sunny. 'Naruto, why did you leave us?' Tsunade started to cry. When the funeral was over everyone left, except for Sasuke and Sakura. Kakashi walked over to them eventually coaxing them away from the head stone.
6 YEARS LATER
That was 6 years ago. Everyone continued with their daily lives', no one brought up the blond dobe that had made their days so exciting, for fear of Sasuke or Sakura breaking out into tears. Sasuke never really started crying but whenever Naruto or ramen was brought up he got all still and looked like he was going to cry. Sakura was more open and just started bawling.
"So you wish to join the village as a Hidden Leaf Jonin?" Tsunade asked a nod was the reply of the blond girl across from her. "What village were you apart of before you came here?" there was silence then a very quiet answer. "I'm sorry could you repeat that?" Man did Tsunade hate her job! "I said the Hidden Rock Village"
"Well I suppose, we could use more ninja and it just so happens we have a squad that needs another Jonin… alright" She reached into her desk and pulled out one of the many head protectors that she had in the third drawer, and handed it to the blond. "You'll just have to sign a few forms and answer some questions" The blond nodded.
"Shizune!! There's a new ninja here, I need you to help her fill out the forms!!" Tsunade called. Shizune came running in and smiled warmly at the new girl. She had long blond hair that went down to her hips put up in pony tails and wore a skirt that was cut on the side reveling that she was wearing black shirts underneath. Her shirt was made up of bandages and some fabric. The bandages went from her middle all the way up to her neck acting like a halter top while the fabric was slung over one shoulder, like a regular tank top missing the top left side (1).
"Follow me" Shizume smiled warmly at the girl. "Your new team will be the old Team 7" Shizume looked at the new girl; she looked scared and excited all at the same time.
They exited the room to go fill out the forms leaving Tsunade (and her sake) alone in the office once again. 'How strange, that girl reminds me of Naruto!' Tsunade thought
"Alright you fill out these sheets except for those ones" Shizune instructed the girl. As the girl finished filling out the sheets Shizune noticed how blue the youth's eyes were. 'If Sakura herself hadn't confirmed Naruto's death I would think Naruto was right in front of me' the girl looked at Shizune noticing how sad she looked. "Are you aright?"
Shizume nodded "Welcome to Konoha. There's an empty apartment on Delia St. I'll notify them your coming. Do you need directions?" The youth shook her head "I came here once when I was a Genin" Shizune nodded, "I'll send one of your new teammates over later to show you where the meeting place is and tell you when the next mission is coming up, I'm sorry… I don't believe I know your name" The youth was half way out the door when she turned around and smiled a very large grin. "Nami Umi" and she was gone.
Nami walked down the streets examining all the sights she had seen when she had been a Genin. She walked over to a clothing store, 'I think this was an apartment when I came here…' She couldn't help but feel a little sad to see the old apartment destroyed but that was in the past now, they had to make room for new things somehow.
At least Icharuka Ramen hadn't changed! She smiled as she approached the familiar old ramen shop and sat down in her old chair. She looked at the menu and noticed that there was one new item on the menu, The Naruto Special. 'After six years they haven't come up with more items?' she sighed.
"One Naruto Special please" the woman behind the counter nodded and started to work on it. "You're new here huh?" Nami nodded
"Just today" she smiled
"Here you go!"
"Thanks!" Nami looked at it… why was it called the Naruto Special when there was only 3 pieces of Naruto in it? It looked like the Ramen she had eaten everyday when she had visited here.
"Why so you call it the Naruto Special?" she asked while eating it.
"Oh, well we call it the Naruto Special because a young ninja named Naruto used to come by here everyday and eat ramen. That kind just happened to be his favorite" answered the waitress.
"I see where is he now?" She asked wondering where a ninja cool enough to be honored with Ramen was.
"He died in battle. He was always smiling and protecting people saying one day he would become Hokage, naming some ramen after him is what we do to honor his memory"
"I'm sorry" Nami said as she finished her ramen. When the waitress turned her back Nami put the money on the counter making sure to leave a big tip.
Nami smiled 'That tip was for telling me something painful I'm sure you didn't want to share'
As she approached her new apartment she realized it looked a lot like her old one in her old village except that it was green and had the leaf symbol on every door rather than just plain brown doors.
She sighed and spoke to the manager who gave her some keys and told her, her new room number. She opened the door; it looked exactly like her old room! Except it was in better shape!
She'd killed quite a bit of time on the way here so either Sakura, Sasuke or Kakashi should be coming any minute. Well, if it was Kakashi coming she still had a while.
As if on cue some one knocked on the door. Nami went and answered the door. She was greeted warmly by a girl with pink bubble gum hair 'This must be… Sakura… she looks so pretty!' she thought with a hint of jealousy.
"Hi, I'm your new teammate Sakura! Your other teammates are Kakashi and Sasuke. Come with me I'll take you to the meeting place, we're training today if you want to join" Nami nodded and followed Sakura out the door.
By the time they got to the bridge Kakashi was just arriving. After they were all introduced, they were paired up for training. Nami was placed against Sasuke.
They went to the old training grounds. Nami saw the old training posts that looked oddly familiar. Sasuke got into a fighting stance preparing for battle.
Nami just stood there with one foot placed slightly behind the other. "Now, just because I'm a girl you better not go easy on me" She called out to Sasuke. "Hn" and with that the exchanging of blows began.
AFTER THOUGHT
A/N
A lot of the stuff was hard to write so yah… if you want me to continue I need at least one review. This is my first fanfic. Flames will be ignored, constructive criticism is welcome though. I hope you enjoyed I have many more ideas for other fanfics so I might work on those first before I write the next chapter for this (only If I get a review though) thanx for taking the time to read this!
(1)- I didn't explain Naruto's girl outfit very well but I did it to the best of my abilities. So for those who didn't understand what I was trying to say (probably the vast majority of you) is that she is basically wrapped in bandages like a regular tank top, with… you know what Greek gods were like the open on one side shirt? One of those only it stops at her waist. If you still don't get it, it doesn't matter
(2)- I'm calling Naruto a "she" just to simplify things so I don't have to write he/she, him/her every time
(3)- what I mean by this is that Naruto had a favorite type of ramen and this looks just like his favorite kind when he used to live in the village
