It was a normal day in the village of Konoha. The sounds of children laughing, birds chirping, and the quiet chatter of villagers talking filled the town. The early morning sun shone brightly over the leaf village. Just outside the gates of the village, a few people were gathered there, seemingly awaiting the arrival of something or someone.
"Dad, exactly who are we waiting for?" a young boy, who was about five years old, asked his father. The older man turned to his pineapple-haired son and answered, "We are waiting for a few of my old friends, Shikamaru. They went to school with Inoichi, Chouza, and me. They brought their kids with them."
"What a drag," Shikamaru mumbled to himself.
"Oi! Shikaku! It'll be good to see all of them again, right?" a blonde man by the name of Inoichi said to Shikaku. Shikaku simply nodded his head and stole one of Chouza's chips.
A woman with her two children, Kiba and Hana, were standing a few feet away from the now bickering men. "Mom, are we waiting for those people too?" Tsume's son, Kiba, asked her. Tsume nodded her head and gave her kids a wolfish grin.
A few minutes later, yelling could be heard from inside the forest. "Get back here, Akari!" the angry voice yelled. An amused voice responded, "Hmmm, let me think about that… keep running and stay alive or stop and let you kill me…lets see…call me crazy, but I actually want to live past five!" A few of the shinobi from outside the gate chuckled.
"Akira! Akari! Stop running!" an older feminine voice yelled. All of a sudden, two almost identical girls ran out of the forest, one chasing the other. The girl being chased had bright green eyes. The other had sapphire blue eyes. The green-eyed girl was tackled by her sister and pinned there. Shortly after, a woman with sapphire blue eyes ran over to the twins and pried the blue-eyed girl from her sister. "Akari Sasaki! I don't care what you called Akira or who started it, apologize right this instant!" the woman said to the girl with green eyes. Akari stuck her tongue out at her mom.
"Yep, those are Rei and Hiro's kids," Tsume said aloud. The woman turned to Tsume and smiled. "Its been a while, eh Tsume?" Her light brown hair hung a little past her shoulders and matched both her daughters. Rustling could be heard from the forest and soon more people walked out. A man with dark brown hair and bright green eyes carried a young girl; about five like the rest of the kids and had the same hair dark brown hair and green eyes as her father, out of the forest.
A girl with pure white hair and shocking purple eyes was dragging her mom out of the woods. The mother had blonde hair and the same shockingly purple eyes as her daughter. Two more men walked out of the forest, one with black hair and stormy gray eyes and the other with medium brown hair and milk-chocolate brown eyes. Two little girls followed the men, one with chocolate brown hair and stormy gray eyes while the other had auburn brown hair and large, doe-like milk chocolate brown eyes.
Three final people walked out of the woods, one ten year old girl and one ten year old boy walking beside a five year old girl. The two girls had the same copper hair and emerald eyes while the boy had the same dark brown hair as his father and sapphire eyes as his mother.
"Well, well, the gangs all here!" Chouza joked as he put his hand on his son, Chouji's head. "Introduction time!" Inoichi said as he grabbed his daughter, Ino's hand. Shikaku pointed to the woman with sapphire eyes and light brown hair before introducing her as Rei. Inoichi pointed to the man with the dark brown hair and green eyes before introducing him as Hiro, Rei's husband. "I'm Akira," the blue-eyed twin announced. "And I'm Akari! That's Akai," the green-eyed twin said as she pointed to her younger sister in their fathers' arms. "I'm Kyo," the ten-year-old boy said. His younger sisters nodded their heads in agreement.
"My name's Mei," the woman with blonde hair and purple eyes said. "And this is my daughter, Kikyo." The small white haired girl smiled and gave a small wave.
"Hello! My name is Shigure and this is my daughter, Emiko!" the man with milk chocolate brown eyes said happily. His daughter, who had the same eyes, gave them the peace sign before hiding behind her father.
The man with black hair and gray eyes spoke next. "I'm Hatori. This is my daughter, Mitsuki. But she prefers Suki." Suki gave them a huge smile and waved like crazy.
The last person to speak was the ten-year-old girl. "The name's Yumi and this is Rin." Yumi's little sister, Rin, cowered behind her. Shikaku introduced himself and his family, as did Inoichi, Chouza, and Tsume.
The adults went off to talk, as did the older kids, leaving the five year-olds to entertain themselves. Shikamaru lay down on the ground and watched the clouds. Chouji continued to eat his chips while Ino picked flowers. Kiba and his dog, Akamaru, were playing. Kikyo and Suki joined Ino in picking flowers. Emiko, Akai and Rin sat down and ate food with Chouji.
Akari decided that she wanted to befriend Shikamaru. She lay down next to him and turned her head to face him. "What're you looking at?" Akari asked him. Shikamaru let out a sigh before saying, "What does it look like I'm looking at?"
Akari scuffled closer to him, eventually getting to the point where she was pushing him out of the way. "What are you doing?" Shikamaru asked, very annoyed. All annoyance, though, vanished as soon as she turned to him with wide, innocent green eyes. "I'm trying to see what you're looking at," she said in an almost too innocent voice. 'She practices this,' Shikamaru thought. 'So troublesome.'
"I'm trying to figure out what that cloud looks like," Shikamaru mumbled. Akari let out an understanding 'ah'. She stared up at the sky with a determined and concentrated look on her face. "It looks like a cloud!"
Shikamaru sweat dropped. "Um, Akari it is a cloud. I meant what shape." Akari nodded her head before saying, "Well lets just say it looks like a sheep and be done with it!" The two children were soon bickering on how it looks like a sheep and why Shikamaru wouldn't accept it.
"I'm out of chips!" Chouji yelled as tears started forming in his eyes. Emiko gasped before yelling, "Oh no! That's horrible! We have to go get some more! You poor, poor child!" The two of them then started running to the closest food store, leaving a confused Rin and an amused Akai behind.
As the two of them passed an alley, Emiko notice a little blonde haired boy sitting in the corner, crying. "Oi, Chouji, you go on. I'll meet you back at the gate." Emiko said as she approached the unknown boy. Chouji nodded and waddled away.
"Hi! I'm Emiko! What's your name?" Emiko asked as she sat down next to the mystery boy. "I'm N-Naruto," he responded shyly attempting to wipe his eyes before Emiko noticed. Although Emiko did notice, she kept quiet to keep the boy from being embarrassed. "D-do you like ramen?" Naruto asked curiously. The two of them spent the next twenty minutes talking about ramen. Emiko smiled brightly at him before standing up and brushing dirt from her bum. Naruto got a slightly panicked look on his face as he reached up and loosely grabbed her wrist. "I know I'm boring to talk to and all that, but please don't leave!" He said.
"I'm only getting up 'cause my butt hurts, Naruto. But I should be heading back to the gate soon…" Emiko trailed off at the end. Naruto's face fell as he let go of her wrist and tucked his knees under his chin. Emiko started to walk away. Once she was a few feet away, she realized Naruto wasn't walking with her. She turned around and said, "Are you coming with me or not?"
Akira merrily skipped over to Tsume. Wolves surrounded the older woman. Akira stopped right in front of one before petting it on its head. "Stupid! You don't just go up to a dog and start petting it!" Kiba yelled from right behind Akira, scaring the crap out of her.
"And why is that?" Akira asked slightly annoyed with the boy. Kiba rolled his eyes as if the answer was completely obvious. "Because," Kiba stretched out the first word, "the dog could be vicious and bite you!" He gave the now fuming girl a 'wow you are stupid' look.
"Didn't your family raise and train these dogs?" Akira retorted. Kiba mumbled, "I'm not talking about my dogs… just other peoples." Kiba stood right behind Akira and motioned for her to crouch down. He reached over and took her hand in his before holding it out to the dog. "You have to let the dog make the first move."
The dog sniffed her hand before licking it. Akira giggled. "It tickles!" She laughed. Kiba rolled his eyes at the giggling girl. Akira, who had calmed down considerately, looked at a small dog that a white mark on the center of its forehead. She walked over to it and reached out her hand. Kiba, who hadn't noticed which dog she was going to until now, looked slightly panicked once he saw it was Miho. The puppy wasn't what Kiba would call social… in fact she was the complete opposite, anti-social and border line crazy.
"Akira wait I wouldn't pet that-" Kiba started. He sweat dropped at Miho started licking Akira's hand. Of course the crazy and slightly psychotic dog decides to bond with her. Kiba had a bad feeling about the girl. If this puppy decided that she liked her, she couldn't be normal. But then again, the thing with Miho was that she was bi-polar. One minute she'd love you and the next she'd try to bite your hand off. Deciding not to test the dogs' patience, Kiba said, "Akira, you really shouldn't pet her! She might-" Kiba was cut off by a small yell from Akira. Miho was biting her hand. Kiba growled at the dog, sounding loud and scary. Miho let go of Akira and whimpered.
"Ow Kiba my hand hurts!" Akira sniffled. She had tears streaming down her face as she sniffled some more. She was more scared than anything.
"Give me your hand," Kiba sighed. Akira shook her head stubbornly. "Akira just let me see your stupid hand!" He growled. She still shook her head. "Nuh-uh it hurts!"
The two children then fought over her hand and how much of a 'butt head', as Akira so adequately put it, Kiba was being.
The parents then decided to check on the kids. The scene they found wasn't exactly the prettiest. Kikyo and Ino had gotten into a fight over which type of flowers were the prettiest which resulted in the two of them wrestling each other while Suki shook her head and attempted to break it up. Mei shook her head as she watched her daughter pummel Ino. Once Kikyo was fired up, she was hard to cool down. Shikamaru and Akari were still fighting over what the clouds looked like. Akari got so fed up that she preceded to call Shikamaru every colorful and horrible word she could think of. Rei covered her face and groaned at her daughters' choice in words while Hiro smiled and yelled, "That's my girl!" Kyo simply laughed at his sister's strangeness. Akai and Rin were trying to cheer up Chouji because he ate the second bag of chip already and was sobbing as anime tears poured from his eyes. Emiko was talking to Naruto as all the adults wondered when he had arrived. And finally Akira and Kiba were yelling at each other. Although Akira didn't use the same words as Akari, she was just as mad as her sister was. And, through the chaos and noise, everyone failed to notice the Hokage approaching them. All he could think was that Konoha was about to become more interesting with these girls here. A loud crash was heard as Kikyo punch Ino through the gate, followed by all of the girls laughter or screams. He also realized that he would need to stock up on Advil.
Hey everyone! I just kinda got an idea for this story and decided to post it. I may change the ages of some character when certain events happened but I'm not sure. Oh and the name of my story will be important in later chapters! I don't own Naruto but if I did team 7 would have stayed the same and Obito wouldn't have died! Anyway, please review! All reviews are welcome! If I get at least 2 reviews, I'll update sooner and the first reviewer will get a cookie! Well, review! Bye!
