Naruto no.1 b1 Them

Naruto looked up at the sky. The clouds moved by, as if they were nothing. He looked down from where he was standing, the streets of Konoha was packed with people setting up for the Neiyumi festival. Neiyumi is a blessing festival in which the gods and ancestors visit and bless the village for 50 years. Naruto clutched his stomach. (It even drives evil away…) (Hopefully…) Naruto thought. (Hopefully it's not me…) He was away training with Kakashi and the others until the festival came up and everybody was outside preparing for it, and Naruto was inside with nothing to do. Naruto sighed. He saw the poster for The Adventures of Princess Gale movie the other day and it was the one that made Yukie face her past and became the princess. He looked down at the streets of the village. There was a girl with red hair walking down the street. "Huh?" Naruto had never seen her before. She was talking to the Tazanaii woman across the street. The woman handed her a bunch of herbs and a bag of her own stuff that was in her shop. He continued to watch and wait impatiently. "Argh!! I can't take it anymore!! I'm heading outside!!" Naruto grabbed his jacket and went outside the door. "Naruto!!!" A voice yelled from below. "Sakura!!" Naruto recognized her voice. "C'mon, we're going now! We're going to see Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura yelled. "Hurry up!" Sasuke said. "Alright…" Naruto took a step back and jumped off the building. "Alright let's go!" Naruto said.

"Whew!" Naruto fell flat on his back and he was panting very heavily. Kakashi ordered them to stand on their toes with chakra on the ends almost an impossible task. "Can we please go now sensei?" Naruto asked. "Why?" Kakashi asked. "C'mon we been training all week, at least give us a break!" Naruto panted. "Alright." Kakashi closed his book and turned toward him. "And what exactly do you have in mind?" "How bout we go to the Neiyumi Festival sensei?" Naruto asked. "Well that's up to everybody else to decide." Kakashi looked over to Sasuke and Sakura. "I don't really care if we go as long it doesn't bore me…" Sasuke said. "I agree." Sakura said. "YESS! Let's go, Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto cried. "Whatever." Sasuke said without a tone.

"Um…Haruko where's Skahei-sensei?" 16 year-old Riku Tazanoriin asked. " Sshh! I am trying to get the last of this costume on. We don't want to disrupt the ceremony don't we?" 14 year-old Haruko Neiyumi said. "Uh-huh…" Riku nodded. "There you are! You guys didn't plan on leaving me here did you?" 16 year-old Skahei Tayashi said. "N-no sensei…" Riku blushed. "Haruko, get going they want you to lead them now." Skahei said. "Yes, sensei…" Haruko walked over to Riku. "Good luck!" She whispered. "Yeah." Skahei said. "…"Riku blushed. " Riku, are you okay? You look sick." Skahei said putting his hand over her head. "N-n-no…I'm okay…"Riku blushed even more. "Are you sure?" Skahei asked. Riku blushed and nodded. (He cares…!) She thought. Then she fell down. [Thud Haruko sighed. That was the fifth time that Riku today. "I guess she is sick. Riku!" Skahei said. Then she barely opened her eyes. blush Skahei was over her. Her face turned red and she passed back out. "Go on Haruko, I'll take Riku over there until she wakes up." Skahei picked her up. "Okay sensei." Haruko said and she vanished. Skahei took Riku over to the parade. She woke up and saw Skahei's face. (He's carrying me!) She realized.blush Skahei looked down. "Oh your awake now, Riku." Skahei said. "Y-You can put me down now, sensei…" Riku said. "Na, your light." Skahei said as he smiled. (He's so sweet.) Riku thought. "So,"Skahei started to say. "Do you guys want ramen tonight?" He asked. (OMG!) Riku blushed. "Um, sure…" Riku said. (Is…is it a date?) Skahei smiled. "I thought you might want some tonight. You guys love to eat ramen." Riku looked away red. She blushed silently to herself. "Are you okay?"Skahei asked. "Y-ya…I'm fine." Riku said. "Fine." Skahei turned back to the parade. "Look-Haruko is about to perform." Skahei said. Riku looked up to see Haruko and her parents walk up the stage.

"Everybody, welcome the Neiyumi family of the Kazaka clan!" Tsunade yelled. Everybody cheered. The music played. Then the dancers came out and gracefully danced all over the stage. The clan walked out to the crowd and talked with everybody. "Hey…they already started…"Sakura said disappointed. "Oh that's too bad…" Kakashi said without any emotion at all. "…" Naruto was speechless. "Well then I'm going to have a chat with everybody else so, Sasuke you're in charge while I'm gone…alright? So please don't get in any trouble now…won't you?" Kakashi smiled and vanished. "Yes sensei."Sasuke said. "You heard him right Naruto?" Sakura said. Naruto stared at the girl he saw earlier. However, this time, Naruto could actually see her face. Her dark red hair…nice light skin, a nice violet color for her eyes, and the outfit she wore was just as beautiful as she was.

(She is so pretty….) Naruto could feel his heart pound.

"Naruto." Sakura said.

"My own Princess Gale…" Naruto sighed. Naruto knew he was in love.

"Naruto." Sakura said again.

"Wow…" He breathed.

"Naruto."

"She's my own dream come true…" Naruto could feel his chakra go into his toes. Then he was barely touching the ground.

"NARUTO!" Sakura yelled.

"Huh?!" Naruto fell down; he was utterly shocked. "Naruto you need to learn to listen, especially when Kakashi-sensei tells us to behave." Sakura said pep talking to him.

"You always get us into trouble and then Kakashi-sensei goes on and on with training and lecturing us until we bust our butts for it—ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?! NARUTO--"

"I know…can we talk later? I'm busy y'know…" Naruto was in his-I'm-so-busy-to-talk-to-you-because-I'm-staring-at-this-girl-why-can't-you-see-it? look. "NARUTO! I JUST ABOUT HAD IT WITH YOU!" Sakura grabbed him by his shirt and yelled, "Didn't you hear what I just said?!" Naruto's face was frozen in a relaxed state in which it was completely in awe. Then Sakura noticed that he was looking past her head. "Naruto…what are you looking at?" Sakura asked. Naruto turned her head in the direction he was looking at. "…" Sakura was so shocked. He was staring at another girl with dark red hair. "Oh…" Sakura realized. She looked back at Naruto. He was smiling. (Naruto's in love.) Sakura realized. Then she felt guilty. Then she got an idea. "Hey Sasuke lets go introduce Naruto to the clan!" Sakura said. "Why?" Sasuke asked. Sakura pointed towards the red head. Then Sasuke stared in total awe. "…" Sasuke was starting to feel his blood pump. "Sure. Whatever." Sasuke shook off the feeling. "Alright." Sakura went over to Naruto. "On your feet." Sakura said. She pushed Naruto over to the girl and then smoke appeared right before they reached her. She was coughing and she passed out and she fell before Naruto's feet. "It's sleeping gas!" Sakura yelled. She covered her mouth. Every body else did too. Naruto could not take it anymore. His lungs were about to burst since he couldn't breath and his heart started to pound. He could feel the blood pump through his body. "Haruko!" A voice yelled followed by some coughing. A girl with jet-black hair was trying to help her friend. [Whoosh The smoke was blown away. "Talk about who needs a clean up." Temari said as she put her fan down. "Temari…" Sakura said. "Chat later kiddos—we have a mess to clean up right now." Temari said as she got in her stance. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke turned around. There were Sound ninjas everywhere. "I knew Orochimaru had something to do with this." Sakura said glaring at them. They were heading towards the brown-haired woman and the red head. "Oh no, you're not! You're not going anywhere with her--you son of a snake!" Naruto took a kunai from his pouch and charged at the Sound assassin. "Haaaahhhhh!" Naruto jumped over them and swung his weapon at him. He hit nothing but air. (It was a shadow Clone!) He realized. "Aaaahhh!" The black haired girl yelled as the Sound assassin grabbed her. He was going to kill her! Naruto kicked him and he tied him up. [Whoosh A poisoned kunai was heading towards her and Sasuke blocked it by throwing a kunai at it. "Thank you." She said. A Sound ninja with a large dark cloak came behind them and he picked up the red head's arm. "This is the last one. Get her up with the others." He ordered to a person in a dressed up in traditional assassin clothing. Sasuke saw him. "Damn!" He saw them pick her up. Then one of them appeared behind Naruto and was about to kill him with one sweep of an attack! "Naruto, you idiot! Look out!" Sasuke yelled. He started to run towards him. Then Sasuke saw a girl go up to the assassin and she put her hands together and with all her might, she punched through the Sound's body. Blood hit the back of Naruto as he turned around only to be met with the blood in his face--to see the Sound assassin fall down before him. He met with the gaze of purple eyes and very light colored skin stained with blood. She fell down into his arms. It was the girl from the street.

"Aaaahhh! Child of a Demon!" One of the Sound's ninja cried. "Demon!" The weak ninja ran away. Sasuke was completely frozen. He was amazed by what she did. (Wait…) Sasuke thought. (Who did the Sound take if the girl they wanted is still here?) "Is—she alright?" The girl with black hair asked. "I thought I told you guys to stay out of trouble." An angry voice said behind them. Sakura gasped. "Sensei!" She cried. Kakashi sighed. "I can't even leave you guys for one minute. I turn around and you guys already wreak havoc while I'm not looking." Kakashi said. "But, sensei! The Sound was going to kidnap one of the clan's kin!" Sakura protested. "Oh really? They already took most of them and wiped up our best guards." Kakashi said. "…" Sakura could not say any more. "Hmm…" The girl with red hair started to wake up. She looked up at Naruto. "Who are you…?" She asked Naruto. "Great we're going to have to clean up this whole mess." Kakashi sighed. "Hmm…" Kakashi examined the dead Sound's body. "Sasuke, great going you managed to kill one of Sound ninjas…" Kakashi said patting his head. "Huh?" Sasuke was surprised. "But--" "But also very bad. He could have been a clue to what Orochimaru had in mind. Great going...yeah." Kakashi said to himself. "Riku!" A voice yelled. "Sensei!" Riku yelled. "Hey, are you alright?" Skahei asked. "Yeah…but where were you sensei?" Riku asked. "I was making reservations at the local ramen shop." Skahei said. "RAMEN?!" Naruto's ears perked up. Then he started to drool. "I'm sorry if I left you guys in a big mess. It's my entire fault I put you guys in such danger." He hugged her. Naruto ran over to them. "Can I please come?" Naruto asked. "Um…" Skahei was surprised. "I'm sorry." Kakashi grabbed Naruto. "Um…he can come, with your permission." Skahei said. "Its alright we have somewhere to go after this." Kakashi explained. "Now, Naruto help me remove this body." Kakashi said. "I'll help." Skahei said as he walked over. Then he froze. 'What's wrong?" Kakashi asked. Skahei lowered his head. "Haruko…" He muttered. The red head had a scared look on her face. She stood up. She gulped. "Y-yes sensei?" She asked. He turned around. "What did we say about this justu?" Skahei asked.

"…I-I didn't mean to-" "THAT WAS A FORBIDDEN JUTSU!" Skahei yelled. Sakura shuddered. Sasuke barely even flinch. Naruto's mouth was open. (Forbidden justu?) Naruto thought to himself. "I…I'm sorry!" Her eyes watered. "Sorry? What happened to the last person when they did this justu?" Skahei asked. "…" She had tears coming down from her face. "He died…" She replied. WHACK! Naruto gasped. She was on the ground. Skahei had slapped her. She coughed. Then she got up. SPIT. There was bright red blood on the Village's ground. "Haruko give me a reason why this person died." Skahei said. "Because that person was foolish." She said. She placed her hand from where the pain had been burning. Her cheek was red. "Ahh…!" Naruto watched her be hit again. "Haruko! Answer me!" Skahei ordered. Sakura turned her head from this and hugged Sasuke tightly. "Aaaahhh!" Haruko hit the ground. Her arm was terribly scratched up. "Argh!" Naruto helplessly watched. "C'mon Naruto." Kakashi said. He took Naruto's arm. "No!" Naruto said as he shoved off Kakashi. He ran in front of Skahei. "What's wrong with you?!" Naruto shouted. "Naruto!" Kakashi yelled. "So what if she did a forbidden jutsu?! She saved my life!" Naruto said. "That doesn't mean you have to go around and beat her up for it!" "Naruto!" Kakashi yelled. "So what if screwed up?! You shouldn't pound her to death!! A sensei like you should at least not go and beat his students; a true sensei never lets his students feel like he let them down or-" "NARUTO!!" Kakashi yelled and grabbed him by the arm. He held him back. "Let me go!" Naruto yelled trying to pull away from him. "A true sensei…accepts who his students are and never let them feel bad. He believes in them and he loves all of the things that they do. A true shinobi…never rejects the fact that they fail at something for the life of others…he values them the way like a family would." Naruto finished. "That's it. I've had enough of this problem…" Kakashi said as he pulled back his arm and smacked Naruto in the back of his head. [THWAK!! "Ow…!" Naruto said and he collapsed into Kakashi arms. His head lowered. He didn't move. "I'm sorry, he never learns." Kakashi said. Haruko got up. "So I apologize, Mr. uh…" Kakashi said. "I'm Skahei…that boy is right it's just that we lost a village member to one of the village's justu once…he was one of us once…" "I understand…" Kakashi said. "I'll repay all of you and for that I'm sorry! The repayment is that we all stay one night at the Kazaka household, and we go pay our respect to the clan to cleans the sin that I have done…" Skahei bowed. "All right then…we'll join you…" Kakshi agreed. "C'mon along now children…" Kakashi said. Naruto woke up in Kakashi's arms and he saw the girl with red hair become almost faded into the distantance. She was sad and she had the look on her face that didn't want him to go. And he noticed that something like a shadow was behind her. Then he saw wet plips of water stream down her face. She was crying.

Wow. Tell me what you think about this and I'll surely hurry up and type the Second part.
