"You may enter now." Said the person behind the door a young shinobi was about to enter. The shy girl entered into the big office like place. She looked around in curiosity until the loud woman broke the silence. "Um, hello, welcome to Konoha! I am the Leaf Villages leader, Tsunde. And from the looks of your papers you are…"

"Uchiha Nanami." She said cutting a Miss. Tsunde off.

"Correct. And how are you related to Uchiha Sasuke?" She inquired. She knew this was not the first time the black haired girl had been asked this.

"Um, from what I know and have researched I should be his second cousin on his mother's side." Nanami said carefully and proudly. "Though I can't wait to meet him, while traveling I have heard so many stories about him and his team. Is there any place I could go and meet him?" She said with a sharp look in her eye. No one had known how long she has been searching for a blood relative. It has taken her 3 years just to find this village and she was not ready to give up at any point.

Tsunde saw the look in the girl's eyes, very much like the look of Uzumaki Naruto. She looked to the side and made a deep sigh, blowing a piece of her blond hair out of her face. She slowly said, "He's not in this village anymore. He is known here as a Missing Nin. We have been looking for him for about 2 and half years now. He ran off to join Orochimaru so he could possibly gain power to kill her brother Itachi. And I think you know why."

The room was quiet for a moment as the now red-eyed girl struggled to say something.
"I see, Hokage-sama. Is… Is there anyone currently searching for Sasuke? If there are any I would love to help." The Hokage suddenly looked up considering that her apprentice and Naruto needed an extra teammate. "I see… Well I may have a spot open for you. The team Sasuke was on before he left is in need of another teammate. They have been searching for him for the last 2 years and are about to go off in search of him once again. Looking at your past records you have here, you are a very skilled ninja, common for a Sharigan user. Come back to my office when I ask of you in a few days and we can work something out." She said looking through papers.

"Th-thank you Hokage-sama!" Thanked the now black-eyed 15 year old.
"Oh please, my pleasure, just enjoy your days off for once your assigned you are going to have a lot of work on your hands. Enjoy your stay in Konoha and I hope to see you soon." She looked up and smiled at Nanami.

"Hai!" The short ninja said turning around and leaving the room softly shutting the door. As she left she had a bright smile on her face, one that had not been there in such a long time. As she walked down the flight of stairs, she bumped into a very bright blond-headed boy.

"Gomen!" She said. As the boy rose up, he was blushing as he saw her beauty.

"No problem it was my fault. Are you new here?"

"Hai, I am."

"Well it's nice to meet you! I'm uh…." He started but could not finish because he was so caught up in the girls big black dazzling eyes. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto!" He finally blurted out looking away.

"Oh I'm Nanami Uchiha. It's a pleasure to meet you." She said smiling but still quiet.
"Really?! Well it was nice talking to you but Hokage-sama has ordered me to see her. She's so mean at times…" Naruto said walking away. He turned around and waved at the Nanami.

She turned around and waved back at the spunky boy. "I think…. I'm going to like this place…" Nanami said quietly to herself as she walked down the rest of the stairs.
