Sayaka Akira – Naruto OC Insert :D

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Naruto. This is merely an insert of my own character.

Enjoy! :D

IMPORTANT: I'm an absolute failure at drawing. My original plan was to draw Sayaka, but after failed attempts I've decided to just describe her now: Sayaka has waist long brown hair and round hazel eyes framed with thin arched eyebrows that make her look amused or happy a lot of the time. She has fair skin and a round face. In young years the cheeks are more puffy then they are when she's older. She is slightly shorter than most girls her age but it isn't a considerable difference. Her usual ninja clothes include the family shirt which is short sleeves, white and carries the family crest on the back. The crest consists of a yellow, vertical 4 vertex star (think compass directions) and a red diamond in the middle. Underneath she wears a fish-net type under armor for ninja. She wears dark grey ninja trousers (you know what I mean? The same as Tenten, kakashi, most chunin, but grey) with a shuriken/kunai holster. She wears a waist pouch facing her back for other supplies when needed in a mission, but she usually leaves this out. She wears grey sandals. In future she will tie her Konoha Headband around her left arm. I hope this is enough to give you a general image. Her mother looks very similar, but older, taller and has a lighter shade of brown for her hair.

Chapter 2:

I woke up to the smell of pastry. Yum. I brush my past-shoulder length brown hair and dress into my usual outdoor gear since I'm planning to practice some kunai tossing today and maybe try out some Tai-Jutsu chances. After all I don't have to wait for the Academy to teach. I look at the Akira family insignia on the back of the shirt. I'll make Dad proud.

I greet Mum and gasp very audibly. She had a bandage wrapped tightly around her head and she didn't look so happy. She was eating silently on a croissant (AN: They probably don't have Croissants in Naruto, but you know what? I like this particular good tasting fatty pastry).

"Mum, what's wrong?"
"Hello to you to, Saya-chan…"
"Oh right, Good morning! Ms. Inuzuka said you might have injured yourself during the mission."

"It's nothing really… Just does leaf village docs being a little bit extreme. I merely head-butted my opponent to allow my team to escape with valuable information without being detected. It was necessary at the time. You'll learn that when you become a ninja. Sometimes you have to take a blow for the squad to make sure the mission is a success."

"I'll be sure to remember that."

I sit down and munch happily on some more home-made pastry. I chug my orange juice and start preparing a snack in the kitchen.
"You heading out for training today?"

"Yes Mum," I reply, "By the way, how did Dad achieve his kekkei genkei?"

"Oh, I think he had a serious sparring battle with his Sensei at the time. It's dangerous, because you have to fight somebody who's stronger than you to bring out your true potential. You have to face enemy attacks straight on. Hence, why I believe you should still be a bit older before you attempt the conversion."

"Conversion?"

"The kekkei genkei changes the way you manipulate chakra and the way your chakra acts in its surroundings. And…Actually I don't want to ruin the surprise for you. It's quite curious actually."

Good job Mum. You just made it seem like it's going to irreversibly change my life. I pack my things and head for the door.

"Oh and Saya-chan! If you're going to play ninja with Kiba and his friends make sure not to use real weapons."

"How?" How did she know that…

"I'm a recon ninja. It's my job to know stuff." She waved to me and called "have fun!"

*(Sayaka walks through the village to the main gates)*

Watch me, as I adventure towards the perilous forests unknown and pioneer the way of the ninja! Now that's how to pump myself for training. I find a small clearing in the forest outside the village and start hammering kunai into a tree trunk.

I soon lost track of time, whilst going through the continuous mantra of throw kunai – collect kunai and throw shuriken – collect shuriken. Exhausted I started eating the sandwiches I prepared for myself this morning.

I saw some ninja running between some trees in the distance. I take a closer look and see that they must be leaf chunin or jonin. They sprinted UP a tree and started jumping from bough to bough. I want to sprint up a tree as well! I guess they gather chakra at their feet and just run upwards. I jump up and gather some chakra at my feet until the blue-ish vaporous energy was visible. I ran at a tree and… crashed right into it and fell down. Obviously it requires a bit more finesse than just ordinary chakra release. I stand up again and put on leg on the tree. I pushed chakra towards my foot. Just releasing it won't do the trick, so how about equally distributing it until I feel some kind of adhesion. Yeah that sounds about right. I decrease the amount of chakra at my foot and imagine it to spread out in a flat way so that it covers my entire foot, like rolling out cookie dough. Now come on Saya! Lift up the other leg and do the same. I lift up my other leg and surprisingly enough my tree-connected leg remained connected to the tree. I did the same process with my other foot and slowly started staggering up the trunk. This is so cool! Everything's side-ways… and making me dizzy. I jump off and try again and again and again until I'm able to sprint up the entire length of the trunk with ease. I sat on one of the top boughs overlooking the spread of forest on one side and the village on the other. I looked at the sun and realize it must already be 2 in the afternoon. I have only 1 hour until my ninja game with Kiba.

I started climbing down by hand. Wait. I can just sprint down. I smirk to myself and get that strong feeling of achievement. I run down the tree until I realize at the bottom that all sorts of twigs and leaves have threaded themselves through my hair. Oh well. Time to go home and wash it out.

After threading leaves out of my hair, I hear the door-bell ring. I run down to get it and see Kiba.

"We're going to meet at the outside the library, it's the best place to play. Ya commin'?"

"Yup. Just let me put my shoes…" I quickly slip on my sandals and bound outside.

*…Walk towards Library (Mostly in silence. I was too focused in holding Akamaru on the way there. His fur is sooo soft.)…*

As we approach the library I see a group of boys also my age. Kiba introduced each one individually to me; "The one with the pineapple haircut is Shikamaru. The fa- I mean chubby kid is Choji. The blonde kid is Naruto…" The names blended in with each other that I hardly had time to remember any at all. "Guys! This is Sayaka. She's a friend and will be joining us!"

The blonde kid jumped startled me by suddenly jumping right in front of me. Suddenly he screams; "I'm NARUTO UZUMAKI and I'M GOING TO BE HOKAGE SOMEDAY! BELIEVE IT!" Well he isn't in your face at all (note the sarcasm). How strange, but at least he has good ambition and life energy, unlike Shika-something or other who seems bored out of his mind and appears almost half asleep.

"Emphasis on someday." "Yeah, someday in eternity. Hahaha." Some of the meaner boys jeered. I saw NARUTO UZUMAKI's hand clench into a fist. I guess maybe I should break this up a bit. Break the ice perhaps.

"Let him believe what he wants to believe." I say loud enough for everyone to hear. "I came here to play some ninja so let's get to it!" Naruto smiled somewhat thankfully at me.

We ended up playing good ninja – bad ninja. Basically it involved me being a bad ninja along with Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji and Naruto and we had to avoid being caught by the good ninja, the rest. Using my new tree climbing techniques I quickly made sure nobody was watching and easily jumped up a, normally really hard to climb tree. I hid myself in the dense summer leaves and surveyed the entire scenario from above. Choji and Shikamaru got caught seconds into the game and were dragged to a chalk ring, where they had to stay until a teammate such as me would tag them to set them free. 10 minutes later Naruto was dragged in. Damn. Our team immediately loses when all participants are caught. Another 5 minutes and Kiba was brought in. The "Good-Ninja" were having a team chat.

"Do you think she ran out on us. We said to play only in a 100 meter radius. "

"Yeah. She probably wanted to cheat. After all she is a girl." A frowning tick mark appeared on my forehead as he said that.

Suddenly Naruto shouted from the circle, "HEY SAYA! IF YOU WANNA SET US FREE, THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD HURRY UP!"

But the "Good-Ninja" always have a person guarding the circle, so I would get caught the moment I set the others free. Then I remembered what my Mum told me this morning. "Sometimes you have to take a blow for the squad to make sure the mission is a success." I'm going to hate myself for this later. I jump down from the tree and run up to the circle tagging everyone in the process. They all looked up surprised, because they didn't know where I had come from. Kiba and Naruto immediately jumped up and ran for it, so they got away in time, however Shikamaru and Choji were a different story. The guard kid had now seen us and started sprinting towards us. I helped the two slackers up and pushed them in the opposite direction and confronted the guard. He tagged me, but I managed to hold on to him for a little while so that he couldn't run after the others. Shikamaru and Choji also got away, albeit slow and obvious. I sat down in the circle content with my actions and waited.

In the end we won and were all high-fiving each other.

"K' guys! Let's go eat!" Kiba shouts. "Choji's family is treating us for barbeque!"

"YAY!" Everyone cheered.

*…Eating and Walking Home…*

Kiba, Akamaru and I are on our way home after a massive barbeque feast sponsored by the Akimichi family. I think they ordered out the entire leaf village on meat. But it was tasty. And there was chocolate cake at the end. Choji and Shikamaru are actually really nice once I got to talk with them some more. So is Naruto, although he is a bit strange. Then again I heard he lives alone, so I guess his upbringing was poor.

We reach our respective house and Kiba turns to me. "The academy starts tomorrow. If you want I can collect you in the morning and show you the way there."

"That sounds awesome. Thanks!"

"No problem. Bye!"

"Bye Kiba. Bye Akamaru."

I kick of my shoes and run into the living room where my Mum was looking through mission folders. She looked up and smiled, "Did you have fun?"
"Yes! And I got to know a lot of people who will probably be in my class tomorrow. Oh and you're point of wisdom this morning came in very handy today!"

"Did it now? Already implementing such complex forms of moral! Good job!" Sometimes my Mum is very sarcastic so I don't know if she's being purposely condescending or not…

"I'll just get ready for bed. Academy starts tomorrow and Kiba's taking me there."

"Alright. And also, I'll probably be gone on a mission sometime soon so you might have to take care of yourself like usual, ok?"

" S'okay Mum! Night!"

I got ready and went to bed. Back to school tomorrow it is.
