(Naruko's POV for the whole story, Sometimes 3rd Person POV)

"Naruto, get up!" I yelled into his ear.

He groggily turned to face me and opened his eyes slightly, "Mommy?"

I smiled at that, "No silly, Na-ru-ko. I'm your...big sister."

He didn't react for a little bit, probably getting out of his sleepy state. Then he shot up straight and turned to look at me.

"I have a sister?" He asked.

"Yep." I answered.

He put his hand on his chin and struck a thinking pose, "Then that means you'll make me something to eat right?"

"Of course. We couldn't have you going hungry." I grinned.

Naruto jumped out of bed and ran around in circles saying, "I have a sister who knows how to cook! I have a sister who knows how to cook!"

I laughed, "Alright Naruto, go take a shower."

"Okay." He agreed happily.

For a kid who as regarded as a nuisance and a rule breaker, he went along without any question. I brought out a pan, put it on the stove top and turned on the stove. I mixed Flour, 1 and 1/2 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of oil. I stirred the mixture until the lumps were all gone. Then I raised the mixing spoon out of the bowl and the batter slowly dripped down like a thick chocolate mix. That's when I knew it was ready to be baked. I took a measuring cup and poured as much batter as I could inside it.

Then I slowly poured the batter from the measuring cup onto the pan in a spiral motion. Then I let the pancake mix it until bubble formed all over. Then I flipped the pancake onto it's uncooked side and waited. When I had finished the pancake was a golden brown.

(I wish my pancakes looked as good as hers. They always end up burnt. -_-)

(3rd Person POV)

Naruto was in the bath making sure to wash himself clean.

"Nee-chan sure is nice to me." He smiled.

'But I wonder why? Everyone else hates me for no reason.' Naruto thought to himself.

"But she loves me. I wonder where she came from...Oh yeah! She said she had been traveling to the other villages. Why couldn't she have gotten here earlier?" Naruto asked out loud.

Naruto was very happy to have a guardian. The 3rd Hokage was fun to be around, but he couldn't always take care of Naruto, he had his own responsibilities since the 4th Hokage died.

"The 4th Hokage huh?" Naruto sighed, "Maybe if he was alive, he could tell me who my parents were."

Naruto grabbed an orange towel and wrapped himself in it as he got out of the bathtub. He put on a black shirt with a red swirl design on the front of it. Then he put on orange shorts and went into the kitchen.

(Naruko's POV)

"Those smell good!" Naruto entered the kitchen happily.

I put 2 of them on plate and handed it to him. He was about to start eating with his hands when I stopped him.

"C'mon now. There isn't even any syrup on it!" I exclaimed.

Naruto seemed upset that he had to wait, but his eyes got bigger as I poured syrup all over it. Screw being proportional and besides, it's only syrup. Naruto grabbed two chopsticks and was about to dig in when I stopped him again.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" I grabbed the plate.

He let out a dramatic huff, "What now?!"

"You don't eat pancakes with chopsticks!" I said.

He gave me a puzzled look, "Then what do you eat it with?"

(I'm not even sure how the Naruto World is positioned. Are all of the 5 Nations in Japan? In one episode of Naruto the kid series, I remember Ino having to take the place of someone as a look alike and she said she liked him because he spoke American. So I'm not really sure, but I'm going to assume that their is an America but still shinobified?)

"You eat them with a fork and knife." I told him.

"Fork and knife?" He asked.

I could not believe that he didn't know what a fork and knife was! Well, actually, I could. I went into my bag and brought them out. Then I showed them to him and his eyes glistened. He grabbed them out of my hands, but I didn't mind since he was a kid.

"How do you use them?" He wanted to know.

"You hold them like this," I put the fork in his left hand and the knife in his right hand, "And then cut like this."

I directed his hands and held both the fork and knife close to the pancake and cut a piece. By the 3rd cut, Naruto had gotten the hang of it.

"Awesome!" He yelled.

I laughed, "Alright then. Eat up and stay here. I'm going to go out for a bit, but I'll be back."

Naruto got a sad look on his face that he couldn't hide. He was obviously disturbed to hear that I was leaving. I ruffled his hair.

"Don't worry! I won't be gone long." I smiled.

"Will you come back?"

"Definitely."

"Pinkie Promise?" Naruto held out his left pinkie.

"Pinkie Promise." We locked pinkies.

I said goodbye and closed the door behind me. As soon as I was out in the open I spoke, "What do you want?" I asked.

He came out of the shadows, Danzo Shimura, The Shinobi of Darkness.

"So you sensed my presence? Well, you have skills as good as a Jonin. You should apply, maybe work in the ANBU. You would rise through the ranks quickly." He said.

"Thanks but no thanks." I denied the offer, "Now what do you want?"

"Where did you come from?" Danzo went straight to the point.

I smirked, "There's no reason for me to answer that. Either way, if you want to talk, let's do it somewhere else. I don't need Naruto coming out here and persuading me to stay."

Danzo agreed silently and I hoped over the railway and down on the ground. I quickly slicked past the building and ran up the side of another building. Within minutes I had hopped over Konoha's Village Walls and was out in the forest. I looked back and didn't see Danzo. When I faced forward there he was. I clenched my fists.

'This guy is the reason Naruto was all alone. I'm sure of it! He had better have something good to say, because when I speak, I'm really going to let him have it. He's the root of all problems for Konoha. And if he dares to lay a hand on Naruto...it won't be pretty.' I felt my blood boil.
