I do not own any rights to Naruto. First attempt at a story, but hope you enjoy!

"WAKE UP BAKA!" Naruto jolted awake at the sound of the familiar voice so early in the morning. Rubbing his eyes and pulling his black character hat off his head, he lifted up to see almost canine eyes staring back at him.

"What do you waaaaant Kiba?" he asked groggily

"Tsunade-sama has a mission for us. Well, you, me, Ino, and Kakashi Sensei. It's a weird team, believe me, Akamaru doesn't wanna be on a team with you anyways. But whatever. Everyones already in the tower. Get your lazy butt up." Kiba walked out of the room, and Naruto dragged himself outta bed. "What'll be in for me this time?" He thought to himself...


(A while later)

"Yamanaka Ino, Inuzuka Kiba, Uzumaki Naruto. You will be following Kakashi to pick up a very important person from the town of Hoshigakure and escorting them back here."

"But Tsunade a body guard? Really? All the crazy hard missions we've been on, the bad guys we've beaten, a wars going on! It's a waste of time to send us to escort some brat here, have Konohamaru's team go or something." Naruto complained.

"NARUTO. You don't speak to me with disrespect I'm the Hokage, and as great as you may think you are please don't forget technically you ARE a genin. And don't you think if it was that easy I'd have given someone else the job?"

He didn't even have a reply to that one.

"As I thought. So, to continue after being so RUDELY interrupted. The person you are bringing is Lumagaya Sinaka, and unfortunately this is a top secret mission so thats all I can tell you right now. I have chosen Kiba for his sensor-type abilities, Ino as the medical nin, and Naruto because I have nothing else to do with you." She was met with a glare from the blonde nin. "Kakashi, you know what to do from here." He gave a slight nod, and they exited the room.

"Hmph. This guy better be pretty damn impressive." Naruto pouted as they walked out of the village.

"Wait a minute, Hoshigakure...that sounds sorta familiar...do they have a special type of ramen or something?" Naruto questioned a day into their journey.

"No. We have been there on a mission before, it's the village with the star ninjas, who you helped destroy the powerful star for." Kakashi answered without looking up from Make out Paradise.

"Oh yeah! I wonder whatever happened to that guy Sumaru...last I remember he said he was gonna become the Hoshikage before me. Better not have!"

Naruto remembered that mission very well now that it was brought up. He had begged Tsunade to let him go with Lee, Tenten, and Neji because he thought Orochimaru was involved. They had gone to protect this star, which emitted a special chakra that the ninjas trained themselves to use, even though it eventually killed them. There was a lot of drama, and they ended up destroying it before Akahoshi, the bad guy, could fuse it with his own body. Sumaru was really powerful, and it was sad that they couldn't stop his mother's death.

The trip to Hoshigakure was uneventful, with the only exciting thing being Akamaru catching a baby bunny only to be attacked by a very mad summoning rabbit mother. After 3 days, they finally came up to the village's entrance.

"The person we are bringing will meet us out here. We are not to enter the village, for security reasons." Kakashi explained as they waited.

Naruto was disapointed that he wouldn't be able to see Sumaru, but there's always a next time. After about an hour, a very slight figure appeared almost out of nowhere, shrouded in a dusty brown shawl. It approached the team, and once there slowly lifted the hood to reveal startling purple eyes under long eyelashes.

"Hello. I am Lumagaya Sinaka, but you can call me Luma." Her introduction was met with a gaping stare from the younger members, for they had been expecting some burly fighter man, or maybe a wanted criminal, but definitely not this tiny figure, who's outfit gave her the look of a 12 year old. Kakashi was the only one unfazed, but then is he ever any different?

"Nice to meet you. I am Hatake Kakashi. We are the Konoha ninja here to escort you to our village."

"Oh, don't worry I know who you are. You didn't expect me to just waltz off with some strangers without checking up on them first now did you? Thats Naruto, the one with the spiky blonde hair, Ino with the long ponytail, and Kiba with the dog. Nice to meet yall." She replied unabashed.


At first sight, she seemed as shy and innocent as a young child. As she removed the hood, it became apparent that looks can be VERY deceiving. She had long brown hair braided to the side, and wrapped in a sort of shiny purple ribbon. Her face, while delicate, had a fierce intensity and matureness to it, and the second she started speaking you could tell she had never felt embarrassed in her life. She sounded comfortable already, like she had known these people her whole life. She spoke fast but firm, simply stating her thoughts and never stalling.

"Well, since you seem to know us all already, why don't we get started? Not to rush anyone, but we have very strict instructions on what to do." Kakashi urged them forward. Every other ninja had made their assumptions on what kind of person she was.

This girl...she seems not to have any manners at all...and that outfit! Honestly, my grandmother has a nicer shawl than that. But her hair IS really pretty... Ino determined.

I like her. She is as straight-forward as me! But so different from my normal teammate Hinata, she's as confident as a man. As long as she likes Akamaru, I think I can get along with this Luma... Kiba thought to himself.

She's pretty. I wonder what her favorite Ramen is! What's her background? I'm happy she isn't scared of us at all, that means she'll be fun! Is she a ninja too? I can't wait to question her! Naruto's mind, as usual, constantly jumped around.

There was just a sort of awkward silence at first, as they slowly ambled through the forest. Everyone had questions, but didn't want to scare the new girl so quickly. Only Kakashi seemed content, lost in his own little world, or book.

"So, not gonna keep any of ya wondering, you all wanna know who I am right? Like what your doing picking me up all the way out here? I can tell ya my life story if ya'd like, I'm not shy about it at all." She stated outright. Everyone still wasn't used to her manner of speaking, so could only manage an unsure nod, not knowing what to expect.

"I'll go ahead then." She took a deep breath, preparing for a long story.


"I was born 15 years ago in Hoshigakure to two very normal, very boring but loving parents who worked to upkeep the building where the star training took place. I'm sure you have all heard about that story, so I won't bore you with it. Well when I was 6, I started noticing that I could help them and be close to the star without getting sick at all, unlike some of the other kids. By the time I was 12 I could easily help out with the training, unaware what my actions were leading up to. The leaders of the village noticed as well, and decided to put me to good use. They immediately enrolled me in training, where I was the youngest but the most skilled of the children. I became close friends with Sumaru and Hokuto, who were only a couple years ahead of me. No one could understand why, (and honestly still don't) but I never ever felt the painful effects of the training everyone else seemed to have. I didn't think this was a problem.

After the big drama where you guys came into the picture, and the meteorite was thought to be destroyed, I thought I could just continue a normal life. I had no desire to be a ninja. Then, late one night I was walking around in the woods all alone, (I'm not a weirdo I just like nature) when I came across this beautiful chunk of glowing purple rock. Well, it was a piece of the meteorite that blew off during the battle. Unknowingly, I picked it up and held it tight in my hand, but when I opened it there was nothing. It had been absorbed, and it's powers became a part of me. I ran back to the village, and immediately told Sumaru, who wasn't thrilled to hear this. I thought I could be of use, maybe help in the war ya know? But he wanted to keep it very secretive, so he contacted your Hokage, Tsunade I think, asking for her help. He said that I was very powerful now, and I wasn't safe in his village as there were still those who wanted to take advantage of whatever power there was. That's why I just came sneaking out now, no one but Sumaru and Hokuto know that I've left, I even had to lie to my parents. Also explains why you couldn't stay any longer, sorry bout that. So thats my story. And don't ask for details cause I'm as clueless as you are." She finished, immediately lifting her eyes to see everyones reaction, expecting disapproval. She would never have guessed what would come next...

End of my first chapter, please review I want to improve my writing in whatever way I can. Working on the next chapter now! :)
