Through the Looking Glass - A (female) Naruto Fanfic with a splash of Naru/Sasu
Special thanks to Masashi Kishimoto for creating the Naruto series, fight scenes that people have come to know and enjoy, and most of all the characters with their own side storylines along with the main character Naruto.
This is my first fanfic, so I'm open to suggestions, criticism and the like. Go ahead and cut loose so to speak and enjoy if you like it.
Don't shoot me I don't own any of the characters .
Chapter 1
Mirror Mirror
Charging as he usually did, Naruto would end up tripping over his own feet hitting the ground, with a loud thud. "You ever do anything that doesn't make you look like an idiot?" Looking up from the ground, Naruto would eye the direction the voice come from, realizing it was Sasuke as usual. '..That Sasuke bastard, always dragging me down, I'll show him... I'll show all of them' Adopting one of his more signature poses as he angrily eyes Sasuke, shouting who knows what as all he got in response was what usually pushed him even farther.
A look of annoyance could easily be seen on both Kakashi and Sakura's face at the bickering these two had nowadays.
"Kakashi-sensei, you ever think those two will ever work together?" Sakura would ask, looking at the pair wondering when they would stop. It had been a month sense their C-Rank mission to the Land of Waves, and if things didn't start picking up with how the teamwork was going, she was fearful that the team would fall apart.
Thinking thoughtfully on the situation, Kakashi would call out to the pair as they continued to bicker "That's enough for today. Whatever happened to the teamwork the pair of you showed just weeks ago hmm?" A displeased look on his face '...whatever did happen, teamwork has been non-existent these past few weeks... the Hokage is going to have my hide if they don't start working together..' Pulling a blue book out of his weapons pouch, he would start reading not looking up but muttering just loud enough for Sakura to hear him "Let me know when those two are ready to move on hmm?"
Nodding in response, Sakura would look back over at the two, saying barely audible "I really hope they stop bickering, it's really getting out of hand." She may have said this but Inner Sakura was saying "Ooo, I'll kick Naruto so hard if he messes with Sasuke-kun. Cha!" Her eye twitching slightly as her hands went to her hips and called out to the two "Come on you two. We're heading back to the village; you can hold this argument for later."
Reaching the village gates as they walked through, Kakashi would move his gaze up slightly as a pigeon landed on his shoulder. Reaching up with a free hand, he detached the message and read it so soon...this doesn't bode well. "Well unfortunately I have to leave you three, you have the rest of the day off." he would say without another word as he disappeared in a whirl of leaves.
"Aww man. I was going to ask him to teach me a new jutsu." Naruto said, his eyes showing how much he wanted to ask him to train him. '..Always praising Sasuke. Sasuke this, Sasuke that... hmph who needs Sasuke.' Coming out of his own thinking process, he would turn in the direction of Sakura, twiddling his two index fingers together as he blushed and asked "Umm Sakura... would you mind maybe... umm..."
"No Naruto!" she would say without looking, her eyes on Sasuke as she leaned onto his back, asking the very same question in reverse. Today is the day... mission goal: First Kiss. Cha! She would blush as her inner self squealed with excitement. Looking back over to Sasuke she would wait for his response as she stood there, batting her eyelashes some to get the point across.
"Hmph, you should know better than that Sakura. I'm not interested in dating; the least you could do is train or learn some jutsu. At least Naruto puts some effort into team." he would say coldly as he stalked away for his apartment, leaving her speechless in his wake. Itachi, just you wait... before long I will find you and avenge everyone that you killed for I am an Avenger
Making his way to the Ichiraku Ramen Stand, Naruto would be brooding over what both Sasuke and Sakura said. Man... Never thought that both of them would act that way towards me. Sasuke I can understand but for Sakura to have that kind of reaction... it's... His thought process stopped as he noticed he was just in front of the stand. Moving the flap aside he would take a seat, looking at the menu of ramen for just what flavor he wanted today. "So Naruto, back from another mission I see hmm?" Teuchi would ask, dropping a basket of ramen noodles as he waited for a reply. "Always good to see you sitting there, but why look so glum something happen today?"
Looking down at his water glass, Naruto would think on his answer, screwing up his face into a smile to cover up how he was feeling as he answered back "It went great, mission was a complete success…" he would trail off, telling just exactly what had happened during the mission and how he was instrumental in its success. Much talk later, and many bowls of ramen near him, Naruto would let out a satisfied belch as he patted his stomach "Ahh... I don't think I can ever not eat ramen; don't know what I would do without it."
Meanwhile, Kakashi was having a meeting with the Hokage from the summons he had received. "So... the mirror wasn't destroyed hmm." Kakashi would say gravely as the Hokage got up, his pipe in his mouth as he spoke to Kakashi about the matter. "The point is the consequences can be very dire indeed if that mirror were to fall into the wrong hands. The last time this happened, was back before the first Great Shinobi War, and even then it was considered a harbinger of doom." He would say taking a long draw on his pipe before turning to Kakashi. "Your team will be dispatched as of tomorrow morning; I suggest you fill them in on everything, which includes the mirrors history."
"Hmm, I have absolute faith that my team will be able to handle this mission Hokage-sama. Although with Naruto on the team, it's going to be one long explanation." he would say with a half moon crescent on his face as he left in a whirl of leaves to inform his genin. Looking out to the window, the Hokage would look at the monuments, more particularly to the first of the four as he drew another long draw on the pipe, speaking to himself "It's much worse then you could possible imagine… and to think that you yourself had sealed it. Makes me wonder which fool unsealed that mirror after all these years..."
