Today was the day.

The day that he was returning to the Hidden Leaf Village. He was glad to be returning to his old friends, but what he didn't know about that day was he was going to be making a new friend.

As he and Jiraiya were walking to the village finally came into view. Naruto was so happy he could barely contain it.

"Naruto, you need to calm down." commented Jiraiya.

"I can't master. I'm just so happy I get to see my friend after 2 year!" yelled Naruto.

"Come on." Said Jiraiya as he started to run, which startled Naruto.

"Hey! Wait for me!" yelled Naruto when he heard something fall behind him.

"Huh?" and that's when he saw her. The thing that caused the noise. It was girl, about his age, was lying right in front of him. She had long, raven black hair, she also had long gray undershirt with a green vest over it. She had long black and green pants on with black shoes. She would have looked beautiful if her cloths weren't torn in places and had cuts in the open areas.

After looking her over Naruto yelled,"Jiraiya! Come back, I need your help!"

As Naruto waited for him he went over to girl. He noticed that she was starting to move so he said

"Hey, are you ok?" as he came closer he was able to see the wounds on her back better. There were a couple of deep ones that looked pretty bad.

Just then Jiraiya arrived and saw both Naruto and the mystery girl. He was about to ask what had happened when he and Naruto heard the girl say "Help….Me….Naruto." After that the girl passed out.

Naruto was in total shock. He had never met this girl but somehow she knew his name!

After that, Jiraiya came up behind him and said, "Watch out." Then he picked up the girl and said, "I will take her to Tsunade. You go say hi to your friends. Meet me at the Hokage's Office in a little while."

All Naruto could do was nod his head. He watched as Jiraiya took off, but all he could think of was what the girl had said 'Help….Me….Naruto'.

Then he relished that he was about to walk into the village. 'I want to surprise them' he thought.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya had arrived at the Hokage's Office with the girl. He looked down at her as he entered the building. He could see the all the marks from either Kunai's, a sword or maybe even both. She was barely breathing, which wasn't a good sing.

When the door he was looking for came in to view, he ran up to it and knocked. He heard "Come in!" from the inside.

As he came in side he said "Well it's been a while hasn't Tsunade?" while putting the girl on a coach near the Hokage's desk.

"It had been a while, Jiraiya. Who is this?" Tsunade asked while standing from her seat at the desk.

"I need your help. Naruto found this girl on our way to the village. Do you think you can heal her?" Jiraiya asked with no worry in his voice.

"I will see what I can do." Tsunade said with a little worry in her voice when she saw the girls face.

As Naruto went through the forest, Sakura was leaving a shop in town.

When Naruto saw Sakura, he waited till she stopped at a shop and turned his back to him.

While he waited, he saw that her hair was still short. 'Guess she didn't want to grow it out again' he thought to himself. She also had a different outfit from the last time he saw her. With the pink vest and skirt she looked a lot older.

When she finally stopped, he took his chance and came up behind her and said "Well it sure has been awhile hasn't, Sakura?"

Sakura couldn't believe she was hearing Naruto's voice for the first time in 2 years! As she turned around to her friend she couldn't believe how tall he had gotten.

"He Sakura, you alright?" questioned Naruto.

After another moment of silence, she finally said "What are you doing here?"

As Tsunade finished healing the girl she asked "Do you know who this girl is?"

"No" answered Jiraiya "But I have a feeling, from the look on your face from earlier, you do."

After a moment of silence, Tsunade gave her answer. "After you left with Naruto and I started to train Sakura, I gave Kakashi a new project."

"So this is Kakashi's newest student?" asked Jiraiya,"How is she doing?"

"She has mastered wind, water, fire and is the beginning stages of Sharingan."

"WOW. So she is a part of the Uchiha clan. When did he start to train her?"

"He started the day after Naruto and you left." As she finished explaining, the girl started to wake-up.

"Lady Tsunade? Wh-where am I?" the girl asked.

"Namine, you were discovered injured in the forest by-"

"Naruto, I know." said, the now named, Namine.

"OK. Do you know who attacked you?"

"The only thing I really remember was their coats. The coats were black with little red clouds on them."

Tsunade was in shock. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Namine was attacked by the Akatsuki, but why?

Tsunade was pulled out of her thoughts when Namine asked "Lady Tsunade is something wrong?"

"No, can you go out in the hallway while I talk with Jiraiya."

"Yes, Lady Tsunade." Namine said as she bowed to Tsunade and the turned to a still in shock Jiraiya and said "It was a pleaser to meet you" then made her way out to the hallway.

Meanwhile, Sakura was telling Naruto what he had missed since he left.

"So, Kakashi has a new student. What's her name?" he asked.

"All I know is her first name. Which is Namine." said Sakura.

"Well," Naruto was saying as he got up from the bench he was sitting at," I have to go see Tsunade, do you want to come with?" asked Naruto.

"Sure"

"Let's go"

With that, they were gone, on their way to Tsunade.

Namine sat outside of Tsunade's office. She was thinking about the people that had attacked her. The look on Tsunade's face after she told her gave Namine a feeling that this was something very bad, and she was in the middle of it.

She was pulled out of her thoughts when she a voice coming from the hallway. She got up just as the person or persons came into view.

She was shocked. It was Sakura and the boy had rescued her, Naruto. She could see the shock in Naruto's face when she heard him say,

"You're the girl from the forest!"

End of Chapter 1

WOW!

This was harder than I thought. To everyone reading this I hope you like the first chapter. It took me a long time. With the help of my friend, Ace Bellamanx, and his information, I have finally begun my story that I have been thinking of for a while.

If you guys noticed my OC's name: Namine. The name came from the Game: Kingdom Hearts. (I'm in love with SORA!) If any of you have played the game you will get that name.

I hope I will be able to update soon!

** With Love, KingdomHeartsandIchigoLover! **
