This tale started way back to the time Naruto was right before the grade of graduation.

The kids were all in the Ninja academy classroom; mainly almost falling asleep due to Iruka's boring lectures.

"Now class… today we are going to learn a very special technique! We are going to practice Shuriken throwing. The Ninja who gets the red dot first wins today's training."

"Iruka-sensei! Why Shuriken? I think kunai training would be far more persistent." Chiqua Uzumaki, mere age of 10 and Naruto's younger sister said.

"Well, Chiqua, I think you have a good point but Lord Sarutobi said that it would be far better if I got you guys started on throwing shuriken." Iruka said with a smile.

Deep down, he feared Chiqua because he thought that she was a clone of Naruto, and far more pushy. Thing is, she looked nothing like Naruto. This little Ninja was the second top of the class, and had short blonde hair to her neck and blue eyes exactly like her brother. The major thing that differed was the sibling's taste in clothing.

"Hey Azara, is it just me, or is this guy a little crazy to the head?" Chiqua asked her best friend, Azara.

Azara has a different story. She comes from the Nachata clan… one of the clans that originated from the Hyuuga and Uchiha clan, just; the Nachata clan was far pushier and a little more prideful. Azara had long blonde hair but normally kept down two strands in ponytails, leaving the rest of her hair up to her neck. Her eyes were green, and she was the top of the class, tied with Chiqua with just a .1 percent higher.

"Yeah, but then again, Chi, aren't we all?" Azara chuckled, and then glanced across the room to Shikamaru Nara. "Chiqua, he is so cute, but I do not think he will notice me no matter what I do."

"Quit freaking out, Azara. Shikamaru will too notice you. He's the boring kind, remember? Whatever happens, happens. That's his motto in which he uses everyday! Trust me, I think he has a thing for you too." Chiqua joshed, causing Azara to blush.

The entire class gasped to see the Third Hokage walk into the room.

"Excuse me, Iruka. May I have a word with you?" He asked.

"O-of course, Lord Hokage." Iruka stuttered and then stepped out into the hall.

"YAY! We can party now, believe it!" Naruto danced.

Chiqua rolled her eyes, and then glanced at the door, waiting for it to open. "I am so tired of this, Chiqua. I have to go and try to drag his attention!" Azara cried, and then walked by the table with Shikamaru and Ino.

"Hey, Azara. Can I help you with something pal?" Ino asked. Azara's face turned completely red all the way across, and she just fell silently onto the ground.

"Wha? How troublesome. Did you get hit or something?" Shikamaru asked with a yawn.

"No. But thanks anyway." Azara growled. "Hey Shikamaru, may I ask you something?"

"Mmm… I guess so, but it cannot be long because I am so tired." Shikamaru replied.

"Oh, ok. It will not be long I can assure you that!" Azara said quietly.

What should I do? Ask him out? No, no. Too risky! Ask him on a date? Same concept, idiot! Oh my gosh, I am so lost! What if in the end, he ends up hating me? Azara thought to herself, and then Shika frowned to see tears falling from her eyes.

"What a drag. All women are the same. You all cry, act nervous; sit quiet for the longest time. Azara, if you are going to ask me something, ask me. I will not get mad over it unless it is insulting or something, alright?" Shikamaru told her.

"Fine, I just wanted to tell you that for the longest time, I have liked-"

"Azara, Chiqua! Come with me." Iruka told the two kids.

"Real quick, tell me what you were going to say, Azara." Shikamaru begged.

"I-I-I am sorry! I wish I could, but it is too hard to say!" Azara said with sorrow, and then walked off with Chiqua.
