Wow I was not expecting so many of you wanting me to continue this story. Thanks to all of you I am now working on nine stories so do not expect an update every other day. This makes me feel proud to write stories such as this.
I would like to point out that Sakura and Kakashi will not become Shaman's, Im not sure about Sasuke yet but he might be an evil shaman later. Also Anna may seem a bit OC and if she does please don't comment on it. Enjoy.
Naruto and Anna walked through the village. As they walked Anna saw the glares Naruto was getting and sent some of her own, thankfully it scared some off making her smirk in triumph "So Anna" said Naruto getting her attention.
"Yes? What is it?" she asked sternly.
"I-I was wondering how you have been. It's been five years since we've seen each other" he said.
"Im fine and my training was complete," she said. After a few minutes she asked "What about you?"
He smiled "I think you already know" he said. Her gaze softened at that but they continued to walk in silence. Eventually they came across a building about the size of an average compound "Ah it's good to be home" said Naruto walking up to the gate. He opened the door and walked in after letting Anna in first "Hasn't changed one bit" he said looking around.
"No it hasn't" She then looked at him "Now back to business" Naruto gulped at that "From the bell test I can tell that you haven't been using the training that I suggested to you. So I want you to go outside the village and run around it ten times"
"TEN!?" shouted Naruto but was silenced by Anna's glare.
"Fifteen" Naruto cried anime tears "Oh and I got you something" she said tossing him a box. He caught it but whatever it was, it was heavy because Naruto landed on the ground trying to breath with the box on his chest "I want you to wear those weights and don't take them off. If you stop for more than five minutes or take those weights off then you'll run another five times around the village" Naruto didn't move but then ran for his life when she shouted "MOVE!" She watched as he ran out the door, put his sandels on, and put the weights on all at the same time. She smiled as he left 'I missed you Naruto' she thought.
The next morning we find Naruto tired and sore. He managed to run around the village fifteen times and when he got back Anna shouted at him for not making breakfast. Right now he was walking to his teams meeting spot along with Anna "Remind me again why you're coming?"
"Because I am the only one who will train you. Besides I talked to the Hokage and he said it was fine," she said simply.
Naruto sweat dropped 'Why do I get the feeling that he was too scared to say otherwise' the second he thought that Anna stopped and looked at him.
"I can still read your mind remember," she said scaring him.
"Sorry!" he shouted. When they got to the training ground it was already nine in the morning.
Sakura saw them and shouted "YOUR LATE!" just as Kakashi got there.
"Do not talk to Naruto like that," said Anna.
"Who are you?" asked Sasuke in his oh so arrogant way.
"Guys this is Anna-" Naruto introduced but Anna finished.
"I am his wife," she said with a serious look.
"Huh?" said Kakashi and Sakura at the same time.
"His what!?" shouted Sakura.
"Did you say!?" shouted Kakashi and they both said at the same time "You're his wife!?" Sasuke was wide eyed at this but stayed quiet.
"At least I will be his wife eventually" said Anna calming them both down a little.
"What are you doing here?" asked Kakashi after he recovered from his shock. Kakashi and Anna walked towards the trees to discuss the training.
"Naruto is she really your girlfriend?" asked Sakura pointing to Anna.
"She's not really my girlfriend" no one saw a slight sadness go to Anna's eyes as she heard this "But I am hoping" whispered Naruto. Anna heard this, strangely enough at the distance between them, and blushed slightly as well as smile.
"Then why would she say that she's your wife?" asked Sakura again.
"Well I kinda promised her that I would marry her," said Naruto rubbing the back of his head. He saw Sakura's face and could tell she wanted to hear more, he also saw Sasuke's interested face "You want to know how that happened?"
"Yeah!" shouted Sakura eager for gossip.
"Fine" sighed Naruto "Well it was years ago. We were about eight then when I met her and it was outside the village. I went out there so I could train but some bad...people found me" he said nearly saying spirits instead of people "When they were about to kill me, Anna saved my life" he said smiling at the memory.
"How did she save your life?" asked Sasuke hoping for a new jutsu to get.
"She pulled me out of the way before they could hurt me. Just then a few ANBU appeared and killed those guys whilst taking Anna and I back to the village," he said lying about how it happened. What really happened was that Anna was surrounded by bad spirits. Naruto went in and took a few down but got hurt and almost died. Anna saw Naruto try to help her and so managed to make the spirits disappear.
"So instead of asking for simple things like a toy or sweets, she asked for you?" asked Sakura.
"Yeah that's basically what happened," said Naruto "I promised her that once I win the tournament I would ask her to be my bride"
"What tournament are you talking about?" asked Sasuke.
"That's a secret but if you must know then I can say that the tournament will decide everything" he said mysteriously.
Kakashi and Anna came back but Naruto paled when he saw Anna holding her beads. Looking he saw the beads were connected to Amidamaru "What the!?" shouted Naruto.
"She captured me!" shouted Amidamaru whilst crying anime tears.
"How is she doing that?" whispered Sakura to Sasuke who could only see floating beads so they just shrugged. Kakashi was also curious but hid it well.
"O-Ok team" started Kakashi "Today we'll be working on your strength and speed"
"Naruto come with me," ordered Anna.
"Yes Anna" said Naruto instantly as he followed her.
"Wait! How does that idiot not get to do training!?" screamed Sakura.
"He is getting training," said Anna "His training is just different from yours"
"Than you might aswell train me. That idiot doesn't deserve that kind of training, but I do because I am an Uchiha," said Sasuke.
Anna frowned and walked up to Sasuke. What she did next was something nobody was expecting, apart from Naruto. She slapped him leaving a red mark on his right cheek "It's the other way around you idiot" she said, "Naruto deserves this training more than any of you do"
Sasuke was now angry. He was about to back hand Anna until he was suddenly punched in the face "I wouldn't do that Uchiha" warned Naruto with an edge to his voice.
"HOW DARE YOU!" screeched Sakura.
Thankfully Kakashi put his hand over her mouth so she wouldn't scream anymore "Im sorry. Naruto, you and Anna can go. I'll handle these two"
Naruto nodded and followed Anna into the forest "That was fun" muttered Naruto sarcastically. Anna stopped making Naruto stop aswell "Anna? You ok?"
"Thank you" she said turning to look at him "Thank you for hitting him for me. If you didn't then he would have hurt me"
Naruto put his hand on her shoulder, shocking her "It doesn't matter. I would have hurt him if he even looked at you the wrong way" he said grinning.
Her eyes softened for a moment and she did something that made him smile, she hugged him "Thank you" she said. Then just as quick she pushed him away saying "If you tell anyone about that I'll double your weights and make you run around the village on your hands twenty times" Naruto paled at that and nodded "Good. Now we will be working on chakra control. I want you to gather your chakra on your feet and walk up the tree without your hands. And get it right because if you use too little then you'll fall off, too much and you will be blown off" She then remembered something "I forgot to mention. Not only will I be over seeing your training but I will also be going with you on your missions. Now I want you to put chakra into the weights that you have on"
"Why?" asked Naruto.
"It will increase the weights amount and make it heavier. Now move," she said and Naruto instantly ran up a tree. Amidamaru slowly began to float away but because of the beads Anna knew what he was doing "And where are you going?" she asked.
Amidamaru froze and began to sweat "I...uh..."
"You stay here," she ordered releasing him "Make sure he doesn't stop until he reaches the top of the tree"
"Yes Anna" said the Samurai ghost.
She then turned to Naruto "I'll see later this evening. Until then keep training"
"Yes Anna" he said whilst running up the tree and falling down.
She smiled and walked towards the village. To make sure that Naruto wouldn't stop training she summoned a few spirits to watch over him. As she walked she noticed a few people glancing at her curiously 'I wonder who she is' 'I've never seen her before' These were only a few thoughts that Anna could hear and they were giving her a headache 'Why won't they stop?' she thought holding her head 'It's getting worse' Thankfully the thoughts stopped giving her some relief so she continued to walk. After a few minutes of walking she reached her destination. Naruto's old apartment. She scowled when she saw the damage that was done to it. Apparently when Naruto stole the Forbidden Scroll people thought that he would either get executed or banished so they trashed his apartment. As she went in she noticed words like 'Demon' or 'Die' were painted on the walls as almost everything was destroyed.
She walked up to his cupboard that was barely standing and opened it. A tick mark appeared on her forehead when she saw the amount of orange jumpsuits that were in there 'I am going to hurt him' she thought. She was about to close the door but then she noticed that the back looked like it could open. She pushed it and it opened to reveal a small wrapped box with a little note attached. She took it and widened her eyes when she saw her name on it. She smiled 'That idiot' she thought. Anna put the box back and made sure it looked like it wasn't touched. Once that was done she then went through his apartment and took the things that she thought Naruto would like to have back and put all of his orange jumpsuit into a box.
(With Naruto)
Naruto panted as he knelt down. He was only able to get half way up. A ghost appeared in front of him "Oh crap, that's one of Anna's spirits" He was about to run up the tree again until the ghost disappeared and he saw Anna walking towards him.
"That's enough for today" she said "We'll continue this tomorrow"
Naruto walked to her and said, "I was only able to get half way"
"Don't worry you'll do the rest tomorrow" she said, "your team have already left for the mission hall so let's go" Anna then walked away with Naruto and Amidamaru following.
"I hope I get some good missions," said Naruto.
"You'll be doing D-ranks," said Anna.
"D-ranks?"
"Yes. They're nothing special just basic missions that you do in the village. You and your team will be doing them for a while until your sensei believes you are ready for C-rank"
"For how long?" asked Naruto.
"He is a lazy ninja so I bet a month at least"
"At least!?" shouted back Naruto "This month is going to be long"
(One month later)
"Are you in position?" asked Kakashi through his earpiece. Both he and Anna were leaning against a tree as Team 7 were doing a D-rank mission.
"Ghost here, Im in position" said Naruto through his earpiece.
"Eyes, It's in my sight," said Sasuke.
"Bubble here. Im with Eyes" said Sakura not even paying attention to the mission.
"Ok if you see the target then capture with caution," said Kakashi. The next five minutes were filled with screams as Team 7 came out of the woods. Sasuke and Sakura were covered in scratches and dirt as Naruto was perfectly fine and was also amused whilst holding the purring cat, Tora.
"Mission success Sensei" said Naruto presenting the cat.
"Good job. Let's go return Tora to the Daimyo's wife" said the Jonin leading them back to the Mission Hall. When they got there they were met with Iruka, a couple of Chunin, the Hokage, and a large woman who happened to be the Daimyo's wife.
"Oh Tora!" she shouted grabbing the cat and crushed him into a hug.
'That poor cat' thought Naruto, Sakura, and Amidamaru. Sasuke smirked at it, Kakashi wasn't paying attention and Anna just watched without interest.
"I can see that the mission was a success," said the Hokage "Team 7 now that you finished you can take another mission. You can: paint a fence, get the shopping for an elderly man, or-"
He was interrupted by the Daimyo's wife "TORA!" she screamed.
Sarutobi sighed "Or capture Tora...again"
Anna looked at him "We won't take any of those" she said.
The Hokage froze at that "But their only Genin" he said.
"I don't care," she said "Give them a C-rank" no one moved "Move!" she shouted.
Sarutobi paled and quickly went to the C-rank missions. After a few minutes he presented a scroll "O-Ok I have a mission" He looked at one of the Chunin "Bring the client in"
The Chunin opened the door and motioned for someone to enter. An old man wearing a large hat, who also happened to be drunk, entered the room. His name was Tazuna "What the hell?" he said "A bunch of kids? Im sure the Jonin there is good but the others look weak. Especially the one with the blond girl. She hasn't got any weapons," he said taking another drink.
Sarutobi, Naruto, Kakashi, and Sasuke all paled 'Uh oh' they all thought. One day Sasuke tried to follow Anna and insulted her again. It's like the saying goes 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' and Sasuke learned that the hard way. Naruto quickly grabbed Anna and caught her in a hug "If you value you life you run now!" shouted Naruto.
"Kakashi get him out of here!" ordered the Hokage. Kakashi complied in an instant by grabbing Tazuna's shoulder and disappearing in a puff of smoke.
"Naruto" said Anna slowly "Let me go" she ordered.
"Not yet" he said, scared.
Kakashi reappeared with a peace sign saying "Yo"
Naruto then leapt back saying "Sorry!" but stopped because he was confuced as to why Anna had a very tiny, almost unnoticeable blush on her face.
"You'll pay for that in your training" she said with a glare as her blush went away.
The Third coughed getting their attention "Anyway your mission is to escort that man. His name is Tazuna and he is a Bridge Builder. Your job is to make sure he gets to his home safely. The most that will happen will be bandits but be careful. You leave tomorrow at seven" he then looked at Kakashi "Don't be late"
That night we find Anna on the couch in her and Naruto's house watching a show "Are you ready for tomorrow?" she asked the second Naruto entered the room without even looking.
"Yeah Im packed. What about you?" he asked knowing she would join the trip.
"I packed when I came in" she said "You won't have any time to train tomorrow so everytime we take a rest you will train"
Naruto sighed as he sat down "Ok"
"And before I forget I got you something" she showed two boxes.
'Where the hell did she hide those?' thought Naruto with a sweat drop because they weren't there a second ago. She took one of the boxes and gave it to Naruto who opened "Is this my stuff from my apartment?"
"Yes it is. I thought you would want some of that stuff," she said.
"Thank you" Naruto said with a smile making her smile aswell "What's in the other box?"
"Let's go outside" she said taking the box as she went to the garden with Naruto following.
When they got outside Naruto was surprised to see a small bonfire 'How does she do this without me knowing!?' he thought with a BIG sweat drop. She then opened the box showing Naruto what was inside "My jumpsuits?"
"Yes your ugly jumpsuits. Apart from the cloths you sleep in I couldn't find anything else that you wear. Did you like this?" she asked pointing to the box.
"Yeah its got orange on it" he said not seeing any harm in telling her that. At least that was until she threw the box into the small bonfire "MY JUMPSUITS!"
(The next morning)
Naruto and Anna waited patiently next to the gate. Naruto however looked very disturbed as he kept muttering "My jumpsuits" That was how Sasuke and Sakura found him.
"Whats wrong with him?" asked Sakura. It was then that she saw Anna "What are you doing here?"
"Im here for with Naruto" she answered.
"But you can't come on the mission! You'll only get yourself killed," argued Sakura.
"Say's the useless banshee," muttered Naruto but everyone heard.
"YOU IDIOT!" screamed Sakura aiming to punch Naruto.
But he caught it without even looking "The only one who can hit me is Anna so shut up and leave me alone" he said glaring at the pinkette making her scared and nod "And she can come because not only did the Old man" seeing the confuced looks he said "I mean the Hokage allowed her but she would have followed after me anyway. She's not a ninja so she can leave the village whenever she wants"
Kakashi then appeared with Tazuna making a peace sign "Yo" he said.
Tazuna looked terrified as he approached Anna "I am sorry!" he said loudly whilst bowing.
"That's better," she said walking away.
Naruto looked at Kakashi "You told him what Anna would do didn't you?"
"Actually I told him what she did to me when I said no" replied the Jonin as he scratched his head. He then turned to everyone "Ok time to start the mission. This will take around two weeks so I hope you packed well"
(Half way through the journey)
They all walked along a dirt path with Kakashi at the front with Naruto behind him and Sasuke and Sakura at the back of the group. Both Tazuna and Anna were behind Naruto so the group could protect them in case something happened. As they walked Kakashi, Naruto, and Anna saw a puddle, which was odd because it hasn't rained in over a week. Amidamaru appeared next to Naruto as he silently said "Spirit form, unity" and they became one without anyone but Anna knowing. They walked and decided to wait to see what would happen. They didn't have to wait long as the puddle disappeared in a puff of smoke to reveal two missing Hidden Mist ninja connected by a chain from their large gauntlets.
They both raced past everybody and went straight for Kakashi as they wrapped their spiky chain around him. Once that was done they pulled so the chain ripped Kakashi into pieces "KAKASHI-SENSEI!" screamed Sakura who froze in fear along with Sasuke and Tazuna.
"Both of you's!" shouted Naruto in his mixed voice to Sasuke and Sakura "Protect Tazuna and Anna! I got these guys!" he shouted with them nodding, albeit slowly as they ran towards Tazuna. Without so much as a hesitation he ran towards the ninja "So I take it your the Demon Brothers?" asked Naruto taking a defensive position with his sword ready.
"Unless you and your friends want to die, you should run back home! Were after the bridge builder and that's all!" shouted one of the brothers.
Naruto smirked "That's all I needed to know" he said running at them whilst making two Shadow Clones. On clone went to one brother whilst the other clone went to the other. When the brothers went to dodge, the real Naruto went straight for the chain and slammed his sword into the ground effectively catching one of the links making the brothers stop. The second they stopped the clones dispelled and Naruto knocked one of the brothers out but the other one detached himself and went for the closest person he could attack. It was Anna. Without thinking Naruto instantly ran after. Seeing he wasn't going to make it he made a hand sign shouting "Release!" and all of his weights came off making him a lot faster. He ran in front of the brother and slashed him in the arm. Kakashi then appeared and knocked the guy unconscious "Took you long enough" said Naruto with Kakashi just laughing nervously. Naruto turned to Anna "Are you ok?" he asked in concern.
"Yes I am thank you," she said smiling slightly at his concern.
"Where's your concern for Sasuke!?" shouted Sakura.
"You both froze and the brothers didn't go for either of you. Are either of you injured?"
"Well no but-"
"Then I don't have to care if your ok or not" said Naruto cutting her off.
This caused Anna to smile 'I trained him well' she thought.
After tying the Demon Brothers up and Kakashi talking to Tazuna about the mission, the group continued with their mission. Now they are in the Land of Waves after a few days of travel and a boat ride. Amidamaru stayed in Unity with Naruto in case they were ambushed and Naruto kept his hand hovering near his sword. As they walked none of them could shake the feeling that they were being followed. Having heard something Sasuke threw a kunai into a bush. They all looked and then sweat dropped when they saw a scared white rabbit "What the hell man!?" shouted Naruto.
"Leave Sasuke alone!" shouted Sakura.
"Get down!" shouted Kakashi suddenly. Naruto quickly grabbed Anna and fell to the ground followed by Sasuke and Sakura. Kakashi did the same but not before grabbing Tazuna. A giant cleaver blade soared past their heads and slammed into a tree as a person appeared on it's hilt.
The guy had short spiky brown hair and wore bandages around his mouth and he wasn't wearing a shirt "Well, well, well" he said "Kakashi of the Sharingan"
'Sharingan!?' thought Sasuke.
"Zabuza Momochi, Demon of the Bloody Mist" said Kakashi "If your here then I will have to use it"
"It's an honour fighting the Sharingan," said Zabuza grabbing the blade and jumping away from the tree taking the giant sword with him.
Kakashi lifted his headband to reveal a fully matured Sharingan 'How does he have that!?' thought Sasuke in anger.
"Stay back" ordered Kakashi "If anything happens then Naruto your in charge, now let me handle this"
Zabuza chuckled and then it turned into a full-blown laugh "This WILL be a good fight!" he shouted charging at Kakashi as the Genin surrounded Tazuna and Anna.
Well I hope this was a good chapter like the first one. I know Anna seemed OC but in my opinion I think she can be nicer to Naruto than anyone else. Thank you for reading and please review.
