Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto!!

Okay, Naru admits it; she should have listened to Sorano. She was starving. And then, when she was finally able to sneak out of her own house and go to Ichiraku's the stand was closed. Oh, the horror!

So now, here she was dragging herself back home where she might be able to shake of her bad luck before meeting the incarnation of evil(A.K.A Arashi).

'Hmmmm…I really need to go cut myself…'

'Stop your whining, Kit. And aren't you satisfied from cutting your wrist last week?'

'Yeah… Maybe if this village didn't hate me so much I could buy some decent blades…'

'You're not listening to me, are you?'

"Hey there, Naru-san." Naru turned around while taking out a kunai, ready to kill the owner of the voice. However, when she saw that it was simply her academy teacher, Mizuki, she hesitantly lowered her guard.

"My my, Naru-san. Already acting like a Shinobi even when you failed the exam?" Mizuki chuckled as he jumped off the branch he was seated on and landed in front of the blonde. Naru rolled her eyes at the disgusted look that slid across Mizuki's face. Probably from being so close to the 'demon'.

"Hai, Sensei?" Naru slowly asked. There was something strange about Mizuki's grin. Almost like he was running in some sort of 'who can be the next Orochimaru's contest.

Before she could process what was going on, a firm fist pounded with her stomach effectively causing her to lose consciousness.

"I need you to come with me…Bakemono."

Iruka scanned the trees worriedly for a sight of Mizuki, Naru, or at least the forbidden scroll that was stolen. He gritted his teeth at the thought of what Mizuki so shamelessly did. You see, as all of the Chunnin, and Jounin were in the Hokage's office reviewing the team arrangements and instructors for the newly graduated Genin, when a shinobi had gotten into the Hokage's secret library-Mizuki. However, the charka alarm was soon activated, sending every shinobi in the building to the library. They would have successfully been able to save the scroll Mizuki was after, however, Mizuki had the Hokage's daughter fainted in his arms with a kunai to her throat. One wrong move could lead to the death of both the Uzumaki and Kazuma clan. With a Hostage like that, the shinobi were forced to watch as Mizuki made off with the scroll and Naru, while the ones that didn't care about the demon were held back by other shinobi.

Iruka finally made it to a clearing where he saw Mizuki on a tree obviously looking for something.

"Mizuki!" Iruka paused catching his breathe. "Where's Naru and the scroll!?"

"Well, hello there, Iruka." Mizuki sneered not giving his opponent the satisfaction of an answer.

Iruka looked around frantically for Naru before looking back at Mizuki. " Don't tell me she escaped." Iuka frowned.

"W-well…O-of course not!" Mizuki tried to sneer once more while Iruka sweat-dropped. Did Naru really outsmart him?

"She defeated you?" Iruka questioned suddenly losing every ounce of respect he had for his ex-assistant teacher.

"She bit me, Iruka, as soon as she woke up!" Mizuki cried as he showed Iruka a bruised arm. "I probably have rabies now! Then she took the scroll and left!" Iruka's eyes twitched. Naru sure had some weird battle tactics.

"And you still haven't found her? Couldn't you sense her charka?"

"She has no charka to sense!"

Mizuki grabbed his Shuriken and threw it at Iruka who immediately dodged and threw some at Mizuki as well. The Shurken hit their target only to have Mizuki poof away to be replaced by a disgarded log. Before Iruka had time to think, Mizuki appeared behind him and stabbed Iruka with one of his huge Shiruken (what are those called?).

"Gagh!" Iruka fell to the floor, sprinkling blood from the new wound across the lush grass.

Mizuki smirked at his success and raised up a kunai for the final blow.

Suddenly, two pairs of Shuriken flew from the trees and stabbed Mizuki's hand causing a trickle of blood the spew from his hand which let go of the kunai.

From the trees, both senseis saw a familiar blonde girl jump out and land next to Iruka with the forbidden scroll strapped around her back.

"Naru-san" Mizuki smirked as the blonde glared. "Here to protect your sensei?"

Naru didn't answer but got into her battle pose. "Ignoring me, are you?" Mizuki taunted Naru, not bothering to get into a battle stance.

"I don't need to answer to you."

(I'm sorry I don't think I'm very good at fight scenes so I'm skipping the Naru Vs. Mizuki fight. If you want me to, I might write this, but not for now. In this scene however, Naru knows that she has Kyuubi so she's not shocked about the news)

"Naru…That was a great battle!" Iruka beamed at Naru who was helping him stand up so that he could walk…er…limp to the hospital.

"Thanks?" Naru wasn't sure whether or not nearly killing her teacher was exactly 'great,' but nodded her head anyway.

"As congratulations… and thanks," Iruka blushed, still embarrassed that his student saved him, "Close your eyes."

"Eh? But…" Iruka just gave Naru a reassuring smile as she simply shrugged and closed her eyes. "As long as it isn't anything stupid…"

Naru heard small scrapes and nips and as she was just about to get impatient, she felt a soft cloth on her forehead. "You can open them now, Naru."

Naru opened her eyes to see Iruka smiling without his headband. Oh no… Hesitantly, Naru put her hands to her forehead and had to tuff her knuckles into her mouth to keep from screaming. Why the hell was there a hitite on her head!

"Congratulations, Naru! You've become a gennin."

"Wha-wait a minute! I don't wanna become a…" And that's all she got to say before Iruka passed out due to his back injury.

Sasuke felt his ears crumble at the scream that undoubtedly came from the banshee next to him. Why did he put up with these retarded nobodys?...Oh yeah, to kill Itachi that son of a- wait that would be insulting his mother, wouldn't it? Sasuke's killer aura increased as Sakura slung herself onto him trying to get a good spot on his lap.

"Sasuke-kun, aren't you mad that sensei and Naru still didn't come?" Sakura coated her voice with a layer of seductiveness but her curiosity still showed. Sasuke inwardly groaned. He'll be with this for the rest of his freakin' ninja career? No, he'll be with two of these… GIRLS!! Out of all the stupid teams in this village in the middle of no where, HE had to be the one stuck with TWO WOMAN! The DOBE , who could barely do a jutsu right, and the CHERRY TOP who…what could she do! Both of them would just be a hindrance. Did he do something wrong that karma dictates should be brought back to him in a thousand sadistic ways?

Before Sasuke could go back into his thoughts, the door finally opened to reveal a …(okay I'm too lazy to do the character description; long story short, it's Kakashi SHOCKER!) . Sasuke's eyes turned into icy glares directed at the man who came in so late. Considering his luck, this guy would be as weak as the Dobe or Cherry Top.

He looked over at Sakura who was turning her head around trying to get a good look at the man's face.

"My first impression of you… you're missing a teammate." No shit, Sherlock.

Arashi was leading Naru's future-to-be team down the never-ending halls of the Kazuma estate. He looked over at Naru's team noticing the way the Uchiha rolled his eyes in annoyance at taking a detour, Kakashi read his perverted books again, and the way Sakura marveled at the house while making sure to rub against the Uchiha every now and then.

"I'm extremely sorry that Naru has kept you all waiting I was sure I woke her up this morning." Arashi smiled warmly at Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi.

"No, we're sorry for taking you away from your paperwork to help us retrieve your daughter, Sensei." Kakashi answered putting away his book for later use as they stopped next to a door that had the words "KEEP OUT…This is a threat, you creepy, blonde hokage!!" Scratched on it. It was obvious who ever did this was trying to vandalize the door as much as they could. All of team seven raised an eyebrow.

"Naru, I'm coming in." And without a response Arashi opened the door and there in that room was a very AWKWARD sight.

Naru stood on top of a stool with a noose tied around her neck. A rope connected the noose to the ceiling and Naru's feet were crouched on the stool as if she was going to jump. That's right, people; Naru was getting ready to hang herself.

"Um…I can explain?" Naru awkwardly grinned

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Sakura began to scream and yell pointing at Naru as if she had gone crazy. Sasuke's mouth nearly fell open…nearly, while Kakashi's mouth did fall open (not that anyone could tell with that mask). Arashi simply smiled in a "we'll-talk-about-this-later" way.

"Ah…BYE!" Naru yelled above the screams and jumped.

And That's the end of this chappy!! I know, I'm evil.
