Chapter 1

Naruto was doing his own thing like he always does every single day. Today he was at his favorite ramen shop as he ordered Miso Raman like he always does as a smiled came across his face as he watched the cook make his order. As he looked around waiting for his order to come up when he saw a girl about 18 years old with jet black hair cut short with small looped earrings on both ears wearing a black sleeveless shirt with the green Chunnin vest wearing black pants with a couple of side pockets on both pant legs and a face mask like Kakashi-sensei's wears but dark dark blue with a dark green glove's the same as Kakashi- sensei's with her head protector on her right arm. Naruto blinked a couple of times.

"Wow I never seen her around here who is she? What is she doing here?" Naruto thought to himself as he continued to look at her though he knew that it wasn't polite to stare at her. Today was something, he saw someone that was from this village but he never seen her he wondered who exactly she was. He noticed the face expression on most of the villagers some of them with a look of surprised some of them went white like they seen a ghost or something or something came back from the dead Naruto continued to looked at the girl. As the girl continued to walk getting further and further way from where Naruto was at, she was near Ino's flower shop when someone stopped her from behind she knew exactly who it was she didn't need to turn around to see the face.

"Asuma-sensei it's been a while. How you been?" The figure asked in a gentle tone as she turned around and looked at him. Asuma looked at her with a cigarette in his mouth as he nodded his head a bit.

"It sure has been a while Chie, more to say 5 years. I've been good. You know everyone thought you've died." Asuma said in his normal tone with a bit of a surprised tone in his voice which you couldn't tell too much though you can tell it was there. He wanted to know why she was wearing the face mask and what happened to her 5 years ago. Chie looked at him her eyes looked a bit sad she noticed his tone she kept it to herself she wasn't going to say anything about it she wasn't the type to say stuff like that. Asuma looked at her he noticed the change in her though he keep that to himself.

"Well it's a long story. But I want the other's to know what happened to me during the 5 years that I was gone. Could you make a meeting for me?" Chie asked a bit of sadness in her voice. Asuma nodded his head.

"Sure I'll do that for you. Do you have a place and time?" Asuma asked. Chie looked at him and nodded her head.

"Ya I do. Tell them to meet me at the training grounds. At 1 o'clock." Chie replied. Asuma nodded his head as he left. Chie watched him leave as s a sight escaped her lips as she continued to walked around town she saw someone as she froze a bit she wasn't sure she should even say anything to him. She was about to leave when a voice stopped her.

"Chie is that really you?" Kakashi asked. Chie closed her eyes for a moment and opened them and turn around and looked at him.

"Ya it's me. I'll explain everything at the meeting." Chie said still bit sadness in her tone. Kakashi looked at her a bit expressionless as he nodded his head.

"Ya I heard about it from Asuma. Please I would like to know what happen to understand the situation more." Kakashi asked in a toneless voice. Chie look at him.

"Long story short I've lost myself and I finally found myself again." Chie replied. Kakashi looked at her you wonder what his expression is right now.

"I see well I'm glad you found yourself. The Godaime wants to see you after the meeting." Kakashi said a bit toneless. Chie looked at him with a surprised look as her eyes widened a bit. "What did he mean by Godaime? What happened to the Sandaime? What happened while I was gone?" Chie thought to herself though she kept her thought to herself. She would ask later about it at the meeting on what happened though she wanted to know right now but it wasn't the right time to ask. Chie nodded her head in understanding.

"All right thanks Kakashi-sensei." Chie replied as she was about to leave.

"You should see your little brother. He had a really hard time you know. You should go to him and comfort him." Kakashi said in a gentle tone. Chie looked at him she really hadn't realized how hard it must have been for him. Losing your parents and being with your sister then losing your sister then losing the only family you have. She nodded her head.

"I will don't worry Kakashi-sensei." Chie replied as she left. Chie made her way back home as some of the villagers looked at her as they thought it was a ghost but they realized that she was real. She made it to her house as she looked at it she breathed deeply as she walked into the house she smelled something cooking so she made her way to the kitchen and saw her little brother making lunch.

"Kaito I'm home." Chie said in a light tone in her voice. Kaito turned around as he looked at Chie as a stream of tears ran down his face as he dropped whatever he was holding and ran towards her and hugged her as tears continued to fall down his face as Chie hugged him back as she held him tight. As she closed her eyes she missed him and he missed her. It's been 5 years since they last seen each other.

Kaito knew she couldn't be dead something told him she was alive. He was glad to see her you can say a site for sore eyes. But in a good way but it had been a while. Kaito had to live on his own for a while it had been really hard for him. Though most of the teachers would come by and visit and see how he was doing. Some of them would stay the night to make sure nothing happened to him. But it wasn't the same for him though. He wanted his sister back he wanted to be with his family.

"Kaito I'm so sorry I won't leave you I'm going to be with you always I promise." Chie said in a gentle tone. He nodded his head as he held her tighter tears still continued to fall as her shirt was wet but she didn't mind it, it was good for him to cry helps you feel better after you cried a lot as she held back her tears. She had to be the strong one in the family she couldn't show any signs of weakness she had to be strong for the both of them. She looked down at him and smiled at him but the face mask hid the smile though you would wonder what her smile look like.

"There's a meeting I want you to come and listen." Chie said in a gentle tone. Kaito looked up at her and nodded his head. She smiled at him one would wonder again as he smiled back.

"Well I'll finish lunch you can go outside and play." Chie said he nodded as he whipped the tears off his face and went outside. She finished cooking. As she set up the table the images of what happened to her ran through her mind. Her face went pail as she shook her head as the images were gone she called Kaito in as they sat at the table as Kaito started eating. She was happy to see him. Kaito looked up at her and noticed she wasn't eating.

"Nee-chan why aren't you eating anything? Aren't you hunger?" Kaito asked her he also wondered why she was wearing the face mask. She looked at him her expression changed.

"I'm not hungry that's all." She replied he blinked a couple of times and continued eating. She couldn't show him she had to keep it secrete from him for now. Kaito had finished eating as Chie washed the dishes as Kaito watched her. He noticed she changed he was happy he had a family again he was so lonely. Time had past it was 1 o'clock. As they made there way towards the training grounds Chie thought that Kakashi- sensei was going to be late again like he always does. She gave a small sight as the two reached the ground. Chie saw that they were all there except for Hayate- sensei. She looked around as she noticed Kakashi- sensei was there she was surprised that he was actually there as they looked towards them Chie nodded her head as Chie and Kaito reached the others. The tension in the air was thick she didn't like it but she'll have to deal with it. Kaito hid behind her he knew them but the tension in the air gave him the creeps. Chie cleared her throat as she began.

"Thanks for coming. I bet you all are wondering what happened and why I called you here." Chie said Gai- sensei looked at her his expression annoyed.

"Of course now start explaining." Gai replied he wasn't in the mood when someone doesn't get to the point. Everyone had wondered what happened to her and why she was wearing the face mask though they thought she might explain it. Chie looked over to Gai- sensei and nodded her head and gave a small sigh she knew that Gai-sensei was going to be like that but she kept it to herself for now.

"Well I know everyone remembers the day when Orochimaru came and interrupted the Chunnin exam." Chie said as they nodded there heads.

"Well it happens that I went after his men after they put Sandaime in that barrier. Well I decided to go after them I followed them deep into the woods." Chie said.

Flash Back

Chie was following Orochimaru's men in the woods as they gotten father and father away from the village Chie being alone which she knew wasn't a good idea but she had to do something she couldn't wait for anyone else if they gotten father away they might not have a chance to get them. So she decided to go after them herself.

"Stop right there!" Chie yelled as she throw a kunai at them. As they stopped they turned around and looked at her as they narrowed there eyes towards her.

"You think you can stop us? Ha ha ha ha ha don't make us laugh." Sakon replied Chie narrowed her eyes.

"Don't under estimate her Sakon. She's a Jounin." Tayuya said as she looked over to Sakon. Sakon smirked as Chie grabbed her kunai and rushed towards them as she made copies of herself.

Near The Chunnin Exam

Sakura, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Pakkun went to follow Sasuke and Garra. After Kabuto and some other men from Orochimaru's group interrupted the Chunnin exam.

"When are we going to catch them up?" Naruto asked in whiney voice like always. Sakura looked at him and gave him a face.

"Don't whine so much we well catch up with them soon." Sakura replied.

"You know Naruto Sakura's right about that." Shikamaru said Pakkun sniffed the air.

"Stop your arguing. You have time to do that later." Pakkun said as they continued on.

"All right I just want to get this over with." Naruto said as he followed them. As a pack of shinobis jumped out as they tried to stop them. Shikamaru smirked.

"You guy go on a head I'll stop them from here now go!" Shikamaru yelled out as he used his Kage mane no jutsu. As the other went on looked on to find Garra and Sasuke. They went on their own way being separated. Naruto fighting off Garra as did Sasuke and Sakura but as Sasuke tried to keep the curse seal down that was given to him by Orochimaru took over him, Sakura watched Sasuke, she knew that he might change as Sakura tried to help him out as Garra attacked them in his demon form as Naruto finally able to bring him down as they were taken back to the village.

Somewhere In the Forest

Chie managed to do some pretty heavily damages to Orochimaru's men. They narrowed their eyes at her as they all engaged their curse seal. Chie noticed this and felt their chakra increase dramatically. She wasn't going to give up. Chie rushed towards them only go get beaten. As they slashed at her face leaving deep cut wounds on her face Chie jumped back as blood ran down the wounds as she narrowed her eyes at them as she whipped the blood off her face. Kidoumaru made his web arrow and aimed it at Chie and shoot it at her. Chie tried to dodged it but got hit as the arrow can bee seen on the other side as blood ran down her body as she was in immense pain. She continued to fight getting stabbed and cut. When Jiroubou picked her up as she tried to get out of his grip he drained all of her chakra as he throw her to a tree hard. Her head hitting the trunk of the tree hard as her body fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ha ha ha looks like we win." Sakon said in an evil way.

"Let's get going." Kidoumaru said to the others as they left. Chie managed to see them leave as she past out.

7 Hours Later

Chie heard some noise as she opened her eyes as everything still a blurry her head still throbbing she looked around and didn't noticed anything. She couldn't remember who she was or what happened to her and she doesn't remember how she even got here and where she was. All she knew was she was hurting all over. She tried to sit up as a voice stopped her.

"You shouldn't be moving now. You're wounded pretty badly and your wounds would open again if you move right now." Voice said. Chie looked at him.

"Who are you?" Chie asked the young man was about 16 his red hair spiked up wearing short sleeved light green shirt with dark blue pants his head protector on his head she couldn't tell what village he was from. His little brother came in and hid behind the young man. Chie watched this and blinked a bit.

"I'm Kure and this is my little brother Shu." Kure replied as he looked at him and then her.

"And who are you?" Kure asked her. Chie looked at him and tried to remember but she couldn't. Everything was a blank to her.

"I don't know..." Chie replied. Kure thought for a moment and thought that the hit to the head most of caused her to lose her memories.

"Well I guess we can call you Megumi." Kure said Shu looked at her and felt save something about her he liked but he was too shy. Megumi looked at Kure and Shu and nodded her head. Megumi felt so weak she tried her best to be relaxed. She really wondered what happen to her.

6 Weeks Later

Megumi was back to herself. She still had bandages around her body. Most of the villagers treated her like she was one of them. She looked over to Kure.

"Kure...could you tell me how you found me and if you can tell me what happen?" Megumi asked. Kure looked over to her. Shu came over to her and held onto her hand Megumi looked at him and smiled but her smile couldn't be seen since the bandage was covering her mouth he smiled back and Megumi looked back to Kure.

"Well when me and Shu were walking back to our village when we saw you lying on the ground. You were bleeding heavily and you would have died from your wound if we didn't come by and helped you." Kure replied. Megumi looked at him and then to the sky. She wanted to know who she was and where she came from. The only thing she has was the marking on her head protector which had the marking on where she came from but she still didn't know where.

"Kure...do you know where this village is by any chance I still don't know where it is?" Megumi asked as she showed him her head protector. Kure looked at it and didn't recognize it. He shook his head.

"Sorry I don't. Don't worry you'll remember everything some day." Kure said Megumi looked at him as she sighed a bit and nodded her head. Shu looked up at Megumi. Megumi wondered when will that day come that she would finally know who she was and where she came from.

"Megumi-neechan can you play with me please?" Shu asked Megumi looked at him and smiled.

"Sure I'll play with you." Megumi replied Kure didn't think she was in the mood but she wanted to keep Shu happy. He was kind of glad but she didn't want her to strain her body too much. Shu still holding onto her hand and took her to his favorite spot. While he took her she had a feeling she had this feeling before in her life with someone else. As Shu and Megumi played around Megumi stopped as Shu looked at her.

"Megumi-neechan what is it?" Shu asked Megumi held his hand.

"We better hid." Megumi said as she took him in to the bushes and waited. As a bunch of Shinobis came as they made there plan.

"You guys know what to do." Shinobi 1 said.

"Right get all the brats and kill anyone that gets in the way." Shinobi 2 replied. Megumi narrowed her eyes at them she turn her attention to Shu her eyes soften a bit. In a low tone.

"Shu I want you to stay here while I take care of them. If they came this way I wan you to keep low and head towards the village." Megumi said. Shu looked up at her.

"Megumi-neechan I want to be with you." Shu replied back. Megumi put a hand on his shoulder.

"I know but I don't want them to hurt you could you do this for me?" Megumi asked Shu continued to look at her then he nodded his head.

"Ok Megumi-neechan." Shu replied Megumi smiled her smile still covered by the bandage.

"Now be good and stay here I don't want you to get hurt and me get yelled by your brother for me getting you hurt." Megumi said as she left Shu did what he was told. Megumi slowly and quietly climbed a tree as she grabbed her kunai as she dropped down and attacked them. She wasn't going to let them do what they wanted to do, she wasn't sure why they're here. Megumi managed to take down the group. She went to where she left Shu and noticed he wasn't there. She then headed towards the village. She got there with in 15 minutes and what she saw wasn't pretty. As she looked around some of it jogged her memories but not enough. Body's on the ground blood everywhere houses on fire people screaming. Megumi looked around looking for Shu and Kure. She saw Shu crying by someone as he was about to get caught by a shinobi. Megumi throw her kunai at the shinobi as he fell to the ground. Megumi ran towards Shu and held him.

"It's going to be okay." Megumi said as she looked at towards the body and saw who it was her eye's widened she held Shu a bit tighter this might hurt Shu a lot. She wasn't going to let them get away with this.

"Shu I want you to hid for now while I take care of the rest of the men okay?" Megumi asked. Shu looked up at her and nodded his head as tears ran down his face as he left, while Megumi grabbed her kunai from her pouch and went to get back at the rest of the men. She found them and attacked getting cut and stabbed she took them down. She took every last one of them down as she fell forwards the ground and passed out.

3 Hours Later

Megumi woke up and looked around and saw Shu by her side asleep she sat up pain running down her body. When she was asleep she saw some of her memories but still wasn't enough she'll take care of Shu she wasn't going to let him be on his own. She really didn't want to leave him like this. She helped out the remaining survivors and helped them out as she walked around collecting the dead bodies as she made graves for each one of them. Shu helped her out in making Kure's grave. Something about this jogged her memory. Something like this happen to her. Someone important maybe her parents or something she really couldn't put a finger on it but it was something. She looked over to him.

"I know it's tough on you but now you'll have to live for his part." Megumi said in a gentle tone Shu nodded his head as tears ran down his face. She was right it didn't matter how tough it was he would have to live for his part. As some of the villagers looked over to Megumi she did so much for them and yet she was battered and bruised what could they do to repay her?

"Megumi if there is anything thing we can do to repay you." Villager 1 said Megumi looked over to him and gave a small smile.

"Don't worry about it. You guys let me stay in this village and I'm grateful for that I really don't need anything other then that. I wish I could have prevented this from happening." Megumi replied as she clenched her fist.

"You did what you could don't be so hard on yourself." Villager 2 said she nodded her head in understanding. She was going to do everything in her power to protect them and keep them safe from any other attack and keep Shu safe. She made this promise to them and herself that whatever happens she was going to make sure that the rest of them to be safe from any other attack from any other shinobi.

"Okay I'll make sure that I keep my promise and keep you guys safe from anything else in all my power even if it means I lose my life." Megumi replied as the remaining villagers nodded there heads in understand.

End of Flash Back

"Well that's pretty much what happened to me though you guys would of course think that I was dead after that. It must have been hard for my little brother being alone. Having your parents be killed by a monster and then living with you sister then having her be killed in a mission must have been really hard I know I would have been if I was in his shoe. As of now Shu is staying with a family here he's having hard time adjusting to the surrounding but it would be the same for anyone else. Though he still insists in coming with me and calling me Megumi-neechan I keep telling him I'm Chie but I guess once you get use to someone you be calling them by the name you always remembered them by. It was really hard for him to be alone his entire family gone almost like Kaito. " Chie said as a small sigh escaped her lips as Kaito still holding onto her.

"Well it was hard of everyone here to. Losing someone like you to the likes of him it was unbearable." Hagane said as he put his hand to his hip.

"So what happen to the village after that Chie?" Kurenai asked as most of the other members wanted to know also.

"That village was attacked every year and when I fought them I slowly regained my memories." Chie said. Everyone looked at her they couldn't believe the kind of life she was living during that time.

"So now are you going to tell us why you're wearing that face mask?" Genma asked Chie looked at them and then to the ground as she let out a sigh. As she lowered her face mask as they saw the scars on her face. Kaito looked up at her as his eyes widened, Chie lifted her head.

"This is the reason why I have a face mask. These wounds were too deep to heal well. I also have the scar that would have killed me if I wasn't found." Chie said. They looked at her there look was surprised.

"Well that would explain the mask." Gai- sensei said Chie sighed as she lifted the face mask back up.

"Yes I told you what happened to me now would you mind filling me on what happened on your end." Chie said they looked at each other as Asuma cleared his throat and looked towards Chie.

"Well while you were doing that Hokage-sama fought Orochimaru as you know well he was killed so was Hayate." Asuma said Chie's eyes widened when she heard this as she clenched her fist. Only if she was there maybe none of that would have happened. Kakashi walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder Chie looked at him she saw his eye expression of it's not your fault you did what you thought was right. Chie nodded her head.

"I see. Well to make up for what happened. I'll do whatever it takes to track Orochimaru and is men down." Chie said sternly as she looked at them. As Tsunade or Godaime stepped out as Chie looked at her.

"Heard a lot about you from everyone but who would have thought that a girl like you has so much determination." Tsunade said to Chie as she looked over to her.

"Are you the new Hokage-sama?" Chie asked at she blinked a couple of times Tsunade nodded her head.

"Yes I am. The stuff I heard about you most of them amazing. You being a Jounin at the age of 13 and being in the top 10 in your class." Tsunade said as Chie nodded her head.

"Well it's no that amazing. So I heard from Kakashi-sensei that you wanted to talk to me after this meeting." Chie said she nodded her head.

"Yes if you have the time." Tsunade said. Everyone looked at the two Chie nodded her head.

"Right well I have the time. I guess this meeting is over for now until next time." Chie said they nodded and left Kakashi, Tsunade, Chie, and Kaito stayed to talk.

"Well what is it?" Chie asked.

"Do you have any clue what Orochimaru wants?" Tsunade asked. Chie looked at her as she was in deep thought.

"Hmmm. Not really but I did hear his men saying something about his successor." Chie replied.

"His successor?" Kakashi said confused and curious in his voice. Chie nodded her head.

"Yes but I don't know who." Chie replied.

"Interesting. Would you look around I have a feeling that he's going to be back." Tsunade said Chie looked at her and nodded her head.

"Sure thing Godame-sama." Chie said.

"I'll take you two back." Kakashi said Chie looked at him and nodded her head.

"Take care and be careful." Tsunade said.

"Will do and don't worry." Chie replied. Tsunade watched them leave as Chie, Kaito, and Kakashi left. As they where taken back to their house by Kakashi. Kaito looked up at Kakashi-sensei as he walked.

"Is that bad man still around?" Kaito asked Kakashi looked over to him and tried to smile to him.

"Well he's around but you don't have to worry about it." Kakashi replied Chie looked over towards them.

"He's right though but you don't have to worry we will get rid of him." Chie said Kakashi looked at her he wasn't sure it would be that easy but they'll have to try. Kaito looked up at them and nodded his head.

"Neechan... Are you going to fight with him again?" Kaito asked she looked at him she wasn't sure what to say.

"Yes I am when it calls for it but I'll be back as soon as it's over." Chie said though she wasn't sure she should have said that. There could be a possibility she would be killed but she shouldn't think of it. Kaito nodded his head. Kakashi sighed and they slowly reach to their place.

"Well this is where we part." Kakashi said Chie and Kaito looked over to him and bowed.

"Thanks you and take care." Chie said as they came up from the bow so see him leave. She wondered what tonight will bring. As they went inside Chie made dinner as Kaito played around in the house. After a while they ate. Kaito stayed quiet Chie looked over to him.

"What is it?" Chie asked he shook his head.

"It's nothing." Kaito replied.

"Okay. Well you can leave the plate there and I'll clean up." Chie said he nodded his head and left Chie stood up as she collected the plates and washed them while she was doing that a cold shiver ran down her back. She wondered what it meant something wasn't right. She looked out the window.

"What could it be?" Chie said in a low voice maybe it had something to do with Orochimaru. If so she would have to hurry and get out and find him. Chie was told by Godame-sama to watch out she quickly cleaned the plates as she tuck Kaito into bed and made sure he fell asleep before she went out and looked around.

To Be Continued

What would Chie find in her search? Is it Orochimaru or is it his men? Is she getting herself into more danger? Can she keep her cool and fight? If she was in danger who would save her from it? Can she take down Orochimaru or his men if they where there at that moment? Would she be killed? Who could be Orochimaru's successor (Thought most of you may already know from this point if you read the manga or read it on-line but please bear it with me I'll try to get this part done as quickly as I can. I kinda wanted to make this take place after the exam.)? Could Chie keep her promise to Kaito though she already knew the consequences of what she said? Stay tune to the next Chapter of Once Lost Now Found. Please R&R I would really like it. I know this story might suck there might be better story then this but yeah. Well hope you enjoyed it and please stay tune if you want to read the next chapter.
