Zilleraxe: sweet, the story is up for a few hours and I get one fav and 39 views, you guys are awesome, but no reviews yet so no cookies for you. Now, disclaimer time.
Naruto: why aren't I in this story?
Zilleraxe: because Naruko is.
Naruto: but the show is called "Naruto", not Naruko.
Zilleraxe: to bad she is here instead, probably because Kei would get along better with her and gets to be the protective one for her.
Griffon: Zilleraxe only owns his own character and all of the voices in his head.
Zilleraxe, how the hell did you get out, and where is the rest of your family, you guys are supposed to give me ideas for your book.
Garet: deal with it, we have things to do.
Zilleraxe: NO YOU DON'T, your characters in a book that can't continue because you're silent. Sorry 'bout that now on to the story.
I awoke in a soft bed with white covers draped over me. The blades were removed from my body and my wounds have been wrapped and a bandage covers my right eye. I sit up and hear people yelling. The door slams open and Naruko bursts in. She sees me awake and runs over to me. She seems to be all better and I smile at her. "You're up!" she exclaims. "I never got to thank you for helping me yesterday, or ask why you did." I was about to answer when a woman in white clothes walked in and saw me up. "Well it's good to see you awake. The Hokage was not happy when you passed out from blood loss. He had the ANBU that rescued you track down the people responsible and threatened to exile them if it happened again. Also you have visitors." She gestured to Naruko and to the door. I twisted out of bed, throwing the blanket away as I did and saw that I was in white pajama like clothes that were well fitting. The Hokage stood in the door a second later. I bowed to him in reflex. "Now now no need for that, after all you saved my granddaughter." (AN I know they aren't' related but he means they see each other as family.) "I have a serious question for you, would you like to attend the ninja academy with Naruko?" I heard her give an exited gasp and could feel her vibrating with joyous hope. 'I would be able to get stronger and protect Naruko, plus it might be good to learn in case I find the Yellow eyed man or Silver haired boy.' I thought as I nodded. The Hokage smiled in a warm way and I felt I had made the right decision. "Good then you can start as soon as you're healed." I chuckled. "What's so funny?" Naruko asked. To answer I began removing the bandages that covered most of my body. The wounds were nothing more than thin scars now. The Hokage started and Naruko gasped. "You heal as fast as me." She said happily. Then her face grew thoughtful. "JiJi, why do we heal so fast?" she asked seriously. The Hokage flinched at her question. He looked at her in a knowing way but then looked at me and said I have no idea, maybe you're just special." He said in a way that didn't convince me at all. But Naruko seemed to accept this and dragged me into a hug. The Hokage laughed softly at this. The nurse shooed her out so that I could be checked out, saying that she could wait outside for me.
I walked out of the building in a clean black shirt and grey shorts with the normal sandals when I was tackled to the ground from the side. Looking at my attacker I saw Naruko with a huge smile plastered on her face. The Hokage was sitting on a bench beside the hospital and waved us over. Detangling myself from Naruko I walked toward him. "Hello sir." I said calmly. He nodded in greeting. "Because you saved my granddaughter and because you are new in the village, I am going to fund your purchases so that you can get ready for the academy." He said quickly. I bowed and thanked him. He gave me a paper with a big red seal on it. 'Did he know I would want to be a shinobi or did he just do this?' I thought to myself. He then handed Naruko a large sum of money. She dragged me off toward the shopping district of the village to get my ninja stuff.
"And stay out!" shouted a store owner to Naruko as we left the building. That has been happening in almost every store we went to and it's starting to get on my nerves. At least I'm done shopping. I have the standard set of kunai and shuriken as well as a few fuma shuriken and ninja wire. For clothes I have a black short sleeve shirt with bandoleers for holding extra kunai and black pants that have metal greaves and also hold more kunai. My shirt has a scarf that I can wrap around my head to hide my face. On my feet I wear the normal ninja sandals. I walk with Naruko to her apartment and she invites me inside. The apartment is small but neat and everything seems to have a place. (AN so basically not like Naruto's apartment at all) She pulls two cups from a cupboard and fills them with water. Then she sets them on the oven and lets them heat up. I shake my head, dismissing the cups and turn to see her sitting on her bed. She pats the spot beside her in an invitation to sit beside her. When I do she leans into me and lays her head on my shoulder. "Thank you for saving me last night. I don't know why the village hates me but this keeps happening. They keep forming mobs and chasing me around the village, I've been almost killed on numerous occasions. The only reason I survived to meet you was because JiJi sends ANBU to save me when they get violent. But you helped me without being asked to. My shoulder felt wet and I knew she was crying. I put my arm around her and hold her, letting her cry for a moment before speaking. "When I saw you in danger it reminded me of where I've been for the last few years and I couldn't stand that the people here were trying to hurt you." She nodded into my shoulder. We stayed there like that for a moment but then her head shot up. "THE RAMEN!" she shouted. My ears rang as I watched her run over to the stove and turn the burner off. Then she threw a set of chopsticks at me and broke one for herself. She stabbed her chopsticks into one of the cups and walked over with one in each hand. She passed me the cup without chopsticks in it and I saw noodles in it. I smelled the cup and my mouth started watering. I used the chopsticks to pick up a bunch of noodles and slurped them up hungrily, realizing I haven't eaten in about twelve hours. The flavor is that of beef and tastes magnificent. I hear Naruko laugh beside me. I look at her and raise an eyebrow in question. "Looks like you just found out the magic of ramen." She said with a laugh. I nod.
After the ramen I head to the building the hokage said would house my apartment. It was close to and looked a lot like the building Naruko lived in. when I got to my room I flopped on the bed, noticing how bare the room was but not caring to night. Then the plain brown walls reminded me of my cell and I jumped up. I saw paper on a desk in the corner and hastily drew symbols on the paper before sticking them to the wall, covering most of it but not all. However, the walls weren't blank anymore and the image of my cell faded away. I flopped back onto my bed and fell asleep on the covers.
Zilleraxe: Yay, two chapters in two days, let's see if I can keep that up. By the way, I have decided to watch one of the Naruto episodes before I write each chapter, so If someone would like to list all the arcs for me I could keep things straight and get chapters out faster when I get stuck. Like I said last time R&R it keeps the doubt spiders away.
