Second chapter of "Mooncat". I´m sorry it took so long but it´s I think double as long as the first and I did not want to split as I wanted to get the intro done. A great thanks to iciclefangAJ, I am happy you liked it so far.

Rise and repeat

'I feel like I was the ragdoll of the hulk. Maaaaan I don´t want to be a Loki. What happened?'

I sat up abruptly, my eyes shooting open as I remembered. Everything I saw was white.

'White? Please be no hospital.'

"MIZU-CHAAAAAN YOU´RE AWAKE!" I was tackled by very loud blond bolt.

"Moose get off me. I can´t breath." I got out with a lot of difficult.

"I´m sorry, bur we were worried." the blond mumbled as he released me and stood next to my hospital bed.

"We?" for the first time I really took in the whole room. True to Narutos words Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke and Sakura were in here, too.

"I guess we passed or else there wouldn´t be bundle of joy trying to squeeze the living daylight out of me?"

Kakashi´s visible eye closed in that upturned u-way, which meant he smiled under his mask.

"Hai."

"Say Kakashi-sensei could I ask you a few questions?" His smiled vanished and he regarded me with a look I knew meant trouble for me.

"Of course but I had a few questions myself."

"So we´re playing 20 questions? I ask you a question you answer it,then it´s your turn to ask and my to answer and so on." I explained as I saw his lost look.

'Didn´t he play that as a kid? …... I guess not he didn´t had much of a childhood.'

He shrugged, which I took as a yes.

"Where do I get weights which can be made heavier by chakra infusion?" If my question surprised him he didn´t show it.

"There is a shop near the smith." I nodded I knew where the smith was, Tenten´s parents worked there.

'It helps when you stalked all the important character at the beginning.'

"Where do you learn to use the Kage-bunshin-no-jutsu?" Not the first question I expected but well.

"Naruto-kun taught me." He opened his mouth to ask something but I just wiggled my pointer finger at him in the universal sign of no.

"Only one question at a time Sensei, you have to respect the rules." I grinned, that was so much fun right now.

"Second question, do you have chakra-paper?"

'Am I that predictable, he didn´t even blinked. I want to see his shocked face. Don´t be such a spoil sport.'

"I´ll give you some by our next meeting. Now say how did you know Naruto know this jutsu?"

"Rumours." I answered simply.

' I´m not going to make this easy for you Sensei.'

"Are there any dragon-summons?"

"No idea. When did you learn it?"

"After your little self-help-circle."

'Not going to be easy. Muhahahah. Hmm I little bit too much.'

"My last question for now. What is going to happen to our team? I mean we are four. Standard is only three and the Chuunin-exam is, as far as I know, only for teams of three allowed."

' HA! Answer that.'

"The Hokage and I will decide that after a suitable amount of time but nobody will be send back to the academy as you all passed my test." I sighed.

'That going to be such a drag but it´s not something I can change.'

"Now tell me Mizu-chan"

'Since when did he use that name. That can´t be good.'

"Where or how did you learn to use your chakra like that?"

'He get´s better at it. Well he´s a Jounin, it shouldn´t surprise me when he figures it out that quickly.'

"What do you mean Sensei she didn´t do anything." Sakura asked and Sasuke grunted in agreement.

'Don´t look at me like that Sensei, I will not explain it to them. Nooooooooooo. Pfffffffff Fine, whatever. I so hate you right now.'

"I used Chakra to strengthen my punches and kicks and make myself faster."

'I need a camera their faces are hilarious.'

"And somebody with your ninja level shouldn´t be able to manipulate chakra that good." Kakashi-sensei clarified.

"If I could do it that good I wouldn´t have fainted due to chakra exhaustion and a broken arm. And nobody taught me. I just love to read."

'I want out. I hate hospitals.'

I tuned out again as two of the three started to bombard Sensei with questions. I let myself fall back on the bed and threw an arm over my face.

I wanted to get out of this hell hole and be left alone and their arguing were getting on my nerves. A knock on the door silenced everyone in the room. A smiling medic-nin entered the room.

"Good news Mueko-san you´re cleared. It was only a low level of chakra exhaustion, but you should rest the next couple of days. It might not be too serious but you´re still young and we don´t want any lasting damage. You´ve got a check up in three days and if everything looks normal until then your clear for training again. Oh and you´re banned from mission duty as your arm needs time to heal properly, you will get the date for that examination next time you´re here." I stared at his smiling face.

'Are you kidding me? What the hell should I do in that time? No missions means no money and I need freaking money if I want to buy those weights, not to mention my apartment rent and food money.'

"Why I´m not able to do any missions? We´ll only get D-rank missions at the beginning, they´re not really life threatening." I said, forcing myself to be polite and not to curse the medic. It seemed that he was used to such answers from ninjas as he just gave me a shit eating grin and said

"Orders are orders and if you don´t follow them will force you to do so." and left.

'Well fuck you. I need to earn a living. And I doubt, that you´re allowed to do anything too serious to keep me from doing anything.'

I threw back my covers and tried to follow the medic-nin to give him a piece of my mind but I nearly fell down as I stood on my feet for the first time.

"Fuck this shit." I growled and righten myself.

'I will not be declared unfit for missions.'

A hit to my head stopped me once again. I wiped around, ready to rip, whoever it was, their throat out. To my surprise I came face to face with Kakashi-sensei or more like face to chest regarding the height different, even if I was taller than Naruto.

' Not much of achievement. I hate to be so short.'

"Watch your language, Gomizu. And don´t try to go against the medic´s order. They will lock you in a room and tie you down, if you don´t do as they say. They can be quiet drastic when it comes to the health of their patients." My pissed of look made it clear I would not be calmed down so easily. He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Myyy. Why don´t I accompany you to your apartment?" Even if he phrased it like a question, I knew that I had no choice as to say yes.

"Fine." I shrugged, still pissed of that he sided with that Kamidamn medic-nin. The other took that as the cue to leave, well Sakura and Sasuke did, Naruto was dragged out by pinky. I put on my shoes silently, with a little difficult as the heavy cast on my left arm threw me of balance. Once I finished I took my hitai-ate, forearm protectors and pouches from the bedside table and headed to the door. I didn´t put anything on as I was still not used to manage that with only one arm, furthermore I would not need for at least three days. It would only be a drag to remove them at home. Out in the corridor I turned towards the stairs, leading to the main hall, as I knew I had to fill out my release papers.

' It seems to be a good thing if someone has to stay in hospital for nearly a year. You get to know the ins and outs of the hospital´s police; and no getting lost,too.'

I stumbled down the stairs.

'Chakra exhaustion is a pain in the arse. Low level or not. Shouldn´t that pervert help me?'

I looked behind me to ask him, only to see that I was alone. Now that pissed me off more. I still made my way down and in the hall, grumbling all the way about unfair treatment, useless pervert Jounin and not being out of sugar. Finally I dragged myself to the receptionist to fill out that stupid form, but was stopped as the adult,I cursed not a minuet ago, stood in my way. I looked up at him.

"What now?" I hissed.

"My,my, don´t be so grumpy. I already took care of the paper work." I raised a brow at that.

'The infamous, always late Hatake Kakashi did the a paper work? The guy, who couldn´t even hand in a report in time even if his life dependent on it?'

"Come on." was all he said as he strolled lazily out of the hospital. Hanging my head in defeat I followed, noticing that it was already getting dark. We´ve walked for a while when he cleared his throat. I looked up at him.

'I still hate height difference.'

"Stop sulking. The medic-nins are one of the best. You´ll be able to join the team on mission in no time. You should use the time to think over your actions and place on the team." Now I was more confused than ever. He let out a sigh and closed his book.

'Shit got real.'

"Here I was thinking you was smart.", unfazed by my death stare he continued " You´re not adaptable when it comes to fighting, you only concentrate on one thing not the whole situation. Furthermore if you´re plan does not work the way you want you get distracted. Your laziness is not that much of a problem as the Nara-clan is known to be more or less the most lazy ninjas ever, but they have at least three different backup plans for their backup plans. You try to work in a team, I give you that, but you´re favouritism does you no good. You´ll have to get along with your team whatever your personal problems are with them. Now I think that was enough for a day. You have a lot to think over. You might want to give up on being a ninja all together. Even Sakura has better chances on becoming a great Kunoichi than you." I stopped dead in my tracks, we were only a block away from my apartment.

"I will do not do such thing." I gritted out between clenched teeth, so low that even Kakashi had a problem to understand me. My whole body shook in repressed anger.

"My, don´t cry." Kakashi-sensei tried to stop me from crying or so he thought or maybe he just liked to get me mad.

"I worked to damn hard to be here, I will not give up because a lousy, pervert Jounin tells me I should do so. I´ll make my dream come true whatever it´ll cost me."

"To be the dark knight this town needs but doesn´t deserve right now?" he asked me in mocking way.

"Pffff. Don´t make me laugh Sensei. I just said that shit to be left alone if someone want to know something about me their should get to me know me and don´t ask stupid questions."

'Yeah I know very ironical.'

"I´ll do whatever it´s necessary to save some people and stop the next shinobi-world-war."

'Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I shouldn´t have let that slip. Why the fuck do I always have to ramble when I´m angry.'

The look Kakashi send my way could have frozen the freaking Sahara and let my blood freeze to ice.

'I don´t want to meet Ibiki. I mean he´s awesome but as an ally not as an interrogator or in my case more like torturer. Think, think,... you don´t want to be on Ibiki´s list.'

"I´m sorry." I said before kicking him in the balls, let everything I had in my arms fall, turned around and ran.

'I´m fucking dead. I just kicked Kakashi-sensei in the balls, but I was panicking and that seemed to be a good idea at that moment. Oh I´m so screwed. He´s going to take me to Hokage-sama and then I´ll be dragged before Ibiki.'

I shuddered. I kept running. I had no idea where. The only thing I knew I needed to get at fast and far away as possible, which ,I should have realized at the beginning, was a stupid idea. I was slower than Kakashi even if I was at my prime. Right now not so much at my best. I was just releases from the hospital, had a broken arm and last but not least I had nearly no freaking chakra. That´s why is shouldn´t have surprised me that the one I ran from showed up right in front of me. I skipped to a halt but still knocked into Kakashi. He just gripped me around the waist before throwing me over his shoulder and heading of to Kami knows where. I was near a panic attack as I imagined what they would do to me.

'They´re still ninjas and I know more I should no. I´m dead,deaaaaaad …... After Ibiki happens.'

My thoughts were interrupted as I was dumped on something. A surprisingly soft something. I opened my eyes, which I had clenched all the way towards here, wherever here was. I looked at my bedroom?

'Wait what? Where´s the whole torture room with the gruesome tools?'

I was utterly confused.

"What?" I looked at Kakashi, who sat on my desk left from me. I could only assume how I have to look right now. Scared shitless was my guess, as Kakashi´s feature soften a little bit and he didn´t look like, he would kill me in the next moment

"How about you explain it to me and then I decide what I´m going to do?" he smiled at me and tried to ruffle my hair but I scooped as far as ways as possible without falling of the coach. He sighed and put his hand in his pocket once again.

"I´m going to tell you... but promise me not to take me to the Torture and Interrogation force."

"Why would I do that?" asked a puzzled Jounin.

"Because I know stuff I shouldn´t and I could be a threat to the village and I´m an outsider."

He smiled again, which didn´put me at ease in the slightest.

"My, you´re just a kid and times have changed. The village isn´t as hostile as before to strangers."

"Didn´t matter last time." I muttered.

"Just start at the beginning." I sighed.

'I don´t want to but I guess I have no choice. At least it´s not Ibiki.'

"Well I was found roughly six years ago, outside of the village. Don´t ask me about details, I have no memory of it; only the things the Hokage told me. The third Hokage let me stay in the village but only after I was in the hospital for nearly a year. You see I had no memories and I didn´t understand the people and couldn´t read. I relearned everything in the hospital. In that time I was visited by Inoichi Yamanaka, he should try help me remember and most importantly find out if I was a threat to the village. He was nice but it´s not really pleasant if I guy looks through your mind all the time. I was realised from the hospital as their observation confirmed I was no threat and I could understand most of what was said. I was given this apartment and since then I trained my reading and speaking abilities. The next year as I turned 8 I was allowed to enter the academy. I think it´s just to make sure I´ll be loyal to the village. After that I trained to be a great Kunoichi and started to draw, it calmed me down. I graduated was assigned to team 7 and so on." I looked up, I hadn´t looked up once as I spoke. I took a deep breath.

"The next part is not going to be easy to believe but please hear me out. …... After the hospitals I got those strange dreams... I was in strange world... There was nearly no nature only really tall houses, which scraped the sky, …... and the people wore strange things too. …...Most of the looked like civilian but there was so many of them …... at least ten times as many as here and I saw no ninjas... They´re technology was so much more advanced... First I thought it was just my imagination but as the dreams didn´t stop I began to research. It turns out you can only dream of what you have seen, consciously or not. …... Well I wanted to know what it meant because …... I had to been there once... I wouldn´t have had the dreams if not …... So I searched for a technique, which could let me remember... I found one …... I needed a few tries but …... I finally managed it. So I remembered...

I'mnotfromthisworld.I'mfromadiffrentuniverse,whereallthisisjustamanagcalled"Naruto". ." I finally said in a rush.

(I´m not from this world. I´m from a different universe, where all this is just a manga called "Naruto". I read It back then and now I know all the things that could happen and have already happened and I want to prevent some of those things. Mainly deaths and a new world war.)

A heavy silence filled the room. I didn´t even had the courage to lock up. Nearly half an hour we sat there before Kakashi cleared his throat kind of awkwardly.

"Well I believe you but you see I need proof, that story is so crazy it´s highly unlikely you just made it up. But I still need proof even if you seem to be telling the truth."

"You graduated at 5, became Chuunin at 6 and Jounin at 13. Your Sensei was Namikaze Minato, the father of Naruto. " if he was surprised he didn´t show it but I doubt it as he believed me beforehand.

After another long silence he stood up.

"My, you should rest. Meet us at the bridge after you´re cleared for training."

"Kakashi-sensei." I said before he could vanish."What are you going to do if I may ask."

"Nothing. As long as nobody knows about it you´re save, but be more careful about what you say." he smiled.

"So no telling Hokage-sama?" I asked unsure if I wanted to hear the answer.

"For now I´m going to keep quiet but you´ll have to tell him in the near future." was the last thing he said before vanishing in cloud of smoke. I stared at the spot where he vanished for quiet a while, until I finally started to calm down.

'Didn´t go as bad as expected. I should really go to sleep. It´s …... 10 pm..'

Without even as so much change out of my clothes I took the few steps to my bed and collapsed onto it. I managed to pull the covers over me before I drifted into sleep.

-öööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö-

I blinked a couple of times to pry my eyes open. I sat up and yawned.

'What a weird dream. Hehe I dreamt that Kakashi-sensei found about me being from a different universe. That can´t be. Our test is only today.'

I thought as I stretched my arms over my head, only to become aware of the cast I had on my left forearm. I fell off my bed abruptly.

'Fuuuuuuuck, that was no dream, calm down Kakashi said he would not tell anyone and he believed me... I´m going to wait the three days until my examination and speak with him again. Give him time to think over it. But if it goes bad I should pack an emergency back if I need to leave the village quickly. I´m rather a missing-nin than face Ibiki. Until then I have to act normally.'

I got up and notice to my misfortune I still wore the same clothes as yesterday, which were just yuck.

'Shower it is.'

I thought before dragging myself into my bathroom, which was opposite of the bedroom. It took me nearly an hour to shower and get dressed, as first I couldn´t get out of my shirt, the cast was too big to fit through. I had to cut my shirt open.

'I liked that shirt...Okay I´ve still got like a dozen identical shirts but still.'

Another problem was to shower and not get the cast wet as I noticed to late I should Have wrapped that thing in plastic or something else to make it water proof. Last but not least I had to find a shirt, which I could wear without destroying it. I had finally found a baggy, way too big black shirt. No idea why I had that. I looked at the clock it was now one o'clock, which meant I had slept over twelve hours.

'Chakra exhaustion sucks.'

As I didn´t want to push my luck, making myself lunch, I decided to went out.

'The emergency bag can wait. Now I´m hungry.'

I grabbed my keys and purse, slipped in my shoes and went outside. As I locked the door I tried to remember, where I had let my things fall down. It turned out I didn´t need to as I found them in heap next to my door. Unlocking my door I placed them on the table in my hallway, minus my hitai-ate, which I tied around my upper left arm. That difficult task complete I locked my door once again and headed to the little nice dango shop I knew. It took me thrice the time I usually needed.

'Chakra exhaustion is so annoying I even can´t do the most basic things.'

I took a seat near at the back of the shop, where I could observe the door and had a wall at my back.

I ordered some Mitarashi Dango together with green tea. At the same time as I received my order team 10 entered the shop.

'I want to know that earth jutsu that Kakashi-sensei used on Sasuke. Let me be swallowed by earth.'

It´s not that I don´t like the guys but Ino sort of considered me a friend. I had no idea why as I always tried to keep away from the girls my age. Except Hinata as she was the only one who didn´t always talk about how great Sasuke was. Fortuna had other plans for me due to Ino spotting me and went to sit at my table. Shikamaru and Chouji followed like two lost puppies.

"Mizu-chan. It´s so good to see you." I hummed at response, having my mouth full of dango. Ino sat beside me on the bank as Shikamaru and Chouji choose to sit opposite from us.

"What you´re ding here. Didn´t you say you don´t go here because dangos are bad for you diet?" I asked after swallowing my food.

"Well our Sensei have to treat us to lunch as we passed his test." answered Ino happily.

"Wouldn´t be the Yakiniku Q better?" I asked as I knew it would become their regular restaurant and Asuma did invite them there the first time they met.

"See I told you so." Chouji pointed an accusing finger at Ino.

"WELL we were there just yesterday, BAKA." Ino shouted back. They started to fight loudly and I tuned them out eating my dango and looking at the so interesting ceiling.

"Say Gomizu what happened to your arm?" Shikamaru asked suddenly, breaking up the fight between the other two immediately.

" Got it broken in the test." I answered as I ordered new dango together with the other three.

"So you didn´t pass I´m so sorry. Well I guess Sasuke-kun could have past without the forehead and the Idiot holding him back. My poor Sasuke-kun has to go to the academy again. Maybe I should go back to, so the forehead will not steal him away from me." Ino bewailed.

"Who said anything about failing. We all passed the test." I replied getting more and more annoyed.

"Who´s your sensei?" I looked up at that question, the voice was way to deep to belong to a twelve year old. In front of our table stood Sarutobi Asuma.

"Kakashi-sensei. Asuma-sensei I presume." he looked quiet surprise at my answer.

"Didn´t know they gave Kakashi a new team. You know kid, you´re the first team he ever had. Everyone else failed." he told me as he sat next to Chouji and Shikamaru.

"Wait so he broke your arm?" Ino looked furious. I shrugged.

"It happens and he didn´t intend to break my arm. It just happened." Asuma frowned at that.

"He´s still you´re Sensei, he should know the limits." he said.

I shrugged.

"You can´t change the past, only the future, so I have to make sure that it´ll never happen again. Well that and payback." I smiled.

"Oh yeah Mueko Gomizu." I hold out my hand so he could shook it, realising I hadn´t introduce myself.

"Sarutobi Asuma." he replied and shook my hand.

"Now I don´t want to interrupt your team bonding time. Farewell Lords and Milady." I stood up, tea already finished, put enough money on the table, took my two dango sticks, bowed to each of them and left the shop.

Humming and eating my dango, I headed to the market as I needed to restock my refrigeration. I could not live from take out all the time, it´ll be too expensive and I didn´t know when my next paid mission would be.

The dango shop took a hour and the market another four. It was getting late again.

'What a drag, that´s why I hate to wake up so late. You miss most of the day.'

The good thing was I got everything I needed and it would last two weeks. Except the fruit and vegetables but everything else would last that long. It was a good thing that rice and noodles was so common. It made the life easier. The only problem was to carry all the bags, being one handed sucked.

'How does Shanks manage that and still is so badass... Ben, without his first mate he would be as clumsy as ….. I´ve got no idea. Oh yeah Orihime, that was it.'

I finally rounded the last corner to my block and would have liked to turn around immediately but was spotted.

'Today is so not my day.'

Before my door stood the rest of team 7, I dragged myself towards them, fighting everything I had to not flee on side as I knew they were concerned about me. Well that was my guess, why else would they be at my apartment at nearly 7 pm. We were not really close friends. Come to think of it I had not a single person I would call that.

'Wow I´m a loner, never realised it.'

"What you´re doing here?" I asked as I was in earshot.

"Taking you to dinner, Mizu-chan." I very happy Naruto said. I looked up at the sky before taking the stairs up, towards them.

"Just let me put those away." I dumped my bags onto Sasuke and fished out my keys to unlock the door.

"And Kakashi-sensei I expect that you pay my meal. Call it apology for breaking my arm." I told him as I threw my keys onto the table, on which I had dumped my things hours earlier.

I took off my shoes before taking the bags and heading the few meters, down my hallway, into the living room with the kitchen. I don´t have both of them separated. I nearly threw the bags at the table in the middle of the room, after that I headed out again, plus my shoes, and locked my door once again.

"Now, where are we going?" I asked.

"Ichiraku. Their ramen are the best. You´ll see Mizu-chan." A very happy Naruto said as his teammates sighed in defeat, or whatever Sasuke equivalent was. I chuckled, they were refreshing after last night.

"Shouldn´t we be going then or there might be no place left if those ramen are really that good." I jumped over the railing onto the street.

'Stairs are for the boring people.'

"Mizu-chan the medic said you should rest and not do something like this." Sakura scolded me.

"Relax Sakura. I did that all day long. I´m going insane from boredom. A little bit of exercise has never killed anyone. You´re coming, or what?" I yelled at them and speeded of to Ichiraku, only to fall face down as I suddenly didn´t feel my legs anymore.

'Clumsy Shanks would be so proud of me.'

I looked around and let out a sight as I saw no one, who could have witness that. The others still have to reach me and I was in a back alley. I rose up and brushed off the dirt.

'I haaaaaaaaaate chakra exhaustion.'

To not faceplant again I continued in civilian speed. I finally arrived at Ichiraku´s. The others were already there.

"What took you so long?" Sasuke asked.

'He´s talking to me. I think that is the first time we spoken in forever.'

"There was that cute cat I wanted to pet but it ran away." I replied as I hived myself on one of the chairs.

"Ne, Mizu-chan I ordered you my favourite so you can eat the world most delicious ramen ever." Naruto told me.

"As long as Kakashi-sensei is paying." I said with a grin.

The ramen, which was served a dew minutes alter, was delicious as Naruto had said. The next quarter of an hour we ate and talked. Mostly Naruto and Sasuke fighting and Sakura taking Sasuke´s side. Then there was the up roar as Kakashi managed to eat his ramen without one of us seeing his face. I yawned.

"Well I´m heading home. Goodnight you four." I left them, paying as I highly doubted Kakashi would really pay for my meal. After arriving home I managed to make myself ready for bed before collapsing onto it like the night before.

-öööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö-

The next two days were similar to the first. I slept 10 hours due to the chakra exhaustion taking a toll on me. Made myself lunch and headed out where I wanted at the moment. I always had something to read with me and came back at it was 7 pm or later. My team visited me, in the evening, mostly to look how I was doing, but we didn´t eat at Ichiraku´s again as it´d be too expansive. Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke didn´t show up after the first time either. I abounded the idea of packing a emergency back due to the ridiculousness of that thought, if Kakashi would have wanted to bring me to the T&I unite he would have done it the second he had me and not days afterwards.

-öööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö-

The good thing was that those three days went bye in a blur and I could finally go to the examination.

That´s why I was dragging myself to the hospital so early it was still dark outside. I sighed.

'Why do they have to give me a freaking appointment in the middle of the night.'

The moment I entered I was ushered in a room by one of the nurse´s, who then began to do all sort of tests on me. After and hour of those she left and after further 30 minutes of waiting a medic-nin entered.

"Mueko Gomizu." she said, looking at a clipboard with, what I think was my test results.

"Everything looks normal as far as we can tell." she frowned and read something again.

"Say when did you break your arm?"

"Three days ago. Why?"

'Shouldn´t she know that?'

"Seems like your arm is healing faster then expected. We´ll be able to take of that cast in a week. Until then you´re allowed to train, but nothing that´ll put stress on you your arm. Furthermore you´re allowed to do missions as your Sensei put in a good word for you." I could have glomped that women right now.

"One last question. When was the last time you were sick?"

I looked at her puzzled.

'What does that have to do with me?'

"Can´t remember." I answered truthfully and she wrote something down.

"Can I go now?"

She looked up and smiled at me.

'Why does everyone smile at me. That´s creepy.'

"Yes and I should give you that." she said and gave me a small envelope. I raised a brow but took it and left, not wanting to be in here any longer. Once outside a opened it. Inside were two pieces of paper; one was blank the other had been written on. I read the that first.

Meeting place: bridge (You know which one)

time: 9 am

bring you´re gear

the blank paper is chakra-paper

Hatake Kakashi

I looked up at the sky, it wasn´t even dawn anymore, which meant I had only maybe a hour left to arrive at that bridge. I sighed.

'That´s going to be a drag. '

Non the less I set off to my apartment because I had left my gear there and hadn´t had any breakfast yet.

Arriving there half an hour later I burnt the not being paranoid and took out my chakra paper as I waited for the instant ramen to be finished. Concentrating on the chakra inside me I let it flow into the paper. Nearly instantly it became wet and liquefied.

'Water that´s awesome if I learn a few simple lightning jutsus I could use the water as a conductor to electrify my enemies. Furthermore there are a so many awesome water jutsus.'

I finished my ramen, thinking about the possibilities I had with water, before taking my gear and heading to the bridge on which team 7 always met Kakashi.

-öööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö-

I arrived a little bit after 9 am and unsurprisingly Kakashi wasn´t there yet but the rest of the team.

"Mizu-chan what are you doing here?" the hothead asked, jumping up and down in excitement.

"I was cleared for D-rank mission." Naruto grinned at that and the other two, even Sasuke, looked pleased.

"So how long do we have to wait until Kakashi-sensei shows up?" I asked, leaning on the railing of the bridge. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the few sunlight rays, which broke through the clouds.

"He´s always late." Naruto pouted. I grinned as I knew he just did that in memory of Obito.

The next hour or so we waited in nearly complete silence due to Naruto´s or Sakura´s rambling on about Kakashi-sensei´s unpunctuality. I opened my eyes as I could sense his chakra nearby.

"Sensei don´t you want to join us?" I yelled in the direction of the trees. Using Shunshin-no-Jutsu he stood on the bridge besides us in an instance.

"Yo... I got lost on the road of life." he told us his obvious lie as pinky and blondy yelled at him for being late.

"My, my. We should he really start on the missions. It´s getting late." he told us and headed of to the river.

"Moose, why the hell are you so excited?" I asked the still bouncing boy.

"It´s our first mission." I was surprised at that as I thought they´d a lot f missions until now.

"Kakashi-sensei said we should do our first mission with everybody participating." pinky explained.

We arrived at the river and had the enjoyable task to collect the garbage in it. As Naruto still argued about how that was no mission for the greatest shinobi ever, the rest of us got to work. After a few of hours in the icy water as it was still early spring we finally finished and could go eat lunch. After that we had to go shopping the town over and in the late afternoon we had to babysit a toddler as their parents went on a date.

'Seriously we have to make date nights possible. What a drag.'

Surprisingly nobody on my team could take care of the toddler, that´s why I was stuck with entertaining the little bundle from hell. After accomplishing, it was nearly midnight now, we were allowed to go home. Kakashi-sensei told us our payment would be delivered and we had the next four days off but we had to do missions on Saturday. I sleep-walked to my apartment and changed and slept like dead for the next 8 hours.

-öööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö-

Awaking at 9 am the next day, I decided to buy me the weights as I wanted to start training with them as fast as possible. I ate breakfast before showering and heading to the smith with 90% of the saving I had. It was a good thing my payment from yesterday had already been delivered as my yaw nearly hit the floor,seeing the prices. I knew from experience that ninja equipment was expensive but that was a fucking joke.

' 50,000 Ryo for one fucking weight (5,000$) and those are the cheapest. I have enough money but barley and I still want to have something left for emergencies.'

I left the shop with sagged shoulders, I needed a new plan to strengthen my chakra reserves and that pretty quickly. It didn´t work out as I planned as I ran into someone the moment I stepped out of the shop. I took a step back to balance myself and looked up.

'I hate heigh differences.'

In front of me stood Tenten looking mildly annoyed. Suddenly she smiled at me.

'Said it once, will say it again, it´s fucking creepy. I don´t gave them a reason to light up like that.'

"You´re one of the rookies, aren´t you?" I just nodded.

"What were you doing in there?" her distaste for the shop behind me showing clearly.

"Looking for weights, which can be made heavier by chakra infusion." she frowned, before gripping my wrist and dragging me behind her into the smith next door. She let me go once I stood in front of the counter and went into the back room. I looked around the room. On one side of the room were various close combat weapons displaced, which were not shinobi standard equipment. The other side showed weapons of middle to long range.

A few minutes later Tenten came back and put four weights on top of the counter.

"How much did they cost in the shop?" she asked.

"The cheapest 50,000 Ryo." she made a face at that.

"I´ll give you those for 40,000 each and their way better than anything those idiots sell next-door."

I grinned at her, they were still expansive but at least I knew I paid for good qualities.

"Deal." I said and gave her the 160,000 Ryo. My savings were now nearly used up but at least I still had a rest.

"If you´ll ever need anything, just come here. We´re the top weapon shop in Konoha." Tenten told me as I left the shop.

"I will and thank you." I answered waving at her. That done I took of towards the training grounds.

Once there I put on three of the four and began to make them heavier. It took me quiet some time to accomplish that. I had to find out the right amount of chakra to infuse, as I wanted to move unhindered by the weights but still have them heavy enough to be training. Once I was finished I began to ran laps around the training grounds until I ran out of stamina. Seeing as it was now nearly midday I ate my lunch, which I had brought along, and relaxed. After my little pause and being hydrated again I began to go through martial arts techniques, starting with basics as a warm up, which were getting more complicated the longer I trained. Stopping after an hour I took a breath and trained my accuracy with kunais and shurikens for another hour. Relaxing for ten minutes I began to do the techniques once again afterwards, repeating that circle until sunset.

Taking my things I headed home, where I made myself dinner and studied a few scrolls again about chakra control, to practise it the next evening. Finally finished I showered and brushed my teeth before changing in my PJs and going to bed.

I repeated that procedure the next few days, the only difference was, that I had more time and therefore I ran laps before and after my martial arts and accuracy training. My scroll studying was replaced by chakra control training as I tried to walk up my walls, which I did over my bed after the first few painful tries. I did not once take my weights off, except for washing, due to their fitting form. They did not get in my way as their were really slim and I could fit them easily under my forearm protector and bandages.

The Saturday we had to do missions was as uneventful as the previous and I used time afterwards to try my chakra control at the trees on the trainings grounds.

I fell back into my training routine pretty quickly, only once having it disturbed as I had my cast taken off. To my and the medic-nin´s big surprise my arm was not only healed fully but I also had not lost any mussel mass from not using it.

'I could finally wear my normal clothes again.'

Being cleared completely for training, I inserted into my training attacking one of the logs, standing on the trainings ground, to intensify my attacks.

The next mission days were the same as the other two and I began to get bored off all the routine. I didn´t really want to fight Zabuza but it was better than this routine off waking up, eating, training, eating, training, eating, more training and sleeping. Only to rise the next morning and repeat everything, sometimes infusing chakra in my weights before a training session. I knew I needed to train and I wanted to but it was so boring. The only time this boredom was broken was when I had either a mission or I took a day off once in a while to draw or hang out with Naruto and Sakura, sometimes combining both activities. Both of them were getting manageable once I told Sakura to shut up about Sasuke and I had always got along with Naruto better than with the others. Sasuke preferred to isolate himself further, that douche.

I could have thrown a party as after our fourth mission day I finally managed to walk up my wall, over the ceiling and down the other wall, in a slug like walk, even hanging from the ceiling for fifteen more minuted afterwards. That evening I decided to ask Kakashi-sensei on our next mission day if he knew any water-jutsus I could learn. Which was looking back a mistake as the next mission was that stupid mission, where we had to find the cat for the wife of the feudal lord.

The minute Kakashi announce the mission "Find the lost pet 'Tora'" I could have screamed.

'Why now after nearly a month of nothing are you kidding me, couldn´t that have waited after I learned a cool water-jutsu. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. But the money would be good, even if it´s only rated as C-rank mission and not A.'

I was so lost in thought that I didn´t hear the cue to jump on that poor little animal. Coming to my senses I jumped down and rescued Naruto from the cat, which surprisingly curled up in my arms and began to purr.

'Well that´s fascinating. Mr. Spock report to bridge. Hehehe'

"How do you that?" Naruto asked. "That thing hates me."

"First I don´t call it a a thing. Second I didn´t try to strangle it and third animals just love me." I told him as we headed back to the mission-room.

'Well I don´t know if they love as Tora is the first animal I had contact with in the last couple off years. Except for Akamaru, but he´s a ninja dog, he doesn´t count. It´s really surprising how few animals there are in the village.'

We arrived in the mission-room and I had to gave Tora back to his owner.

'Cats have slave but no owner,well I think he could be the except to that rule.'

"Shijima -sama if you would give Tora a little bit more freedom and not hugging him to death, he would not run away all the time. Cats are more like teenagers, they´ll come to you if they need comfort otherwise they´ll leave you alone but they still love you." I said to the feudal lord´s wife quietly and as polite as possible.

"I don´t need to be patronized by a little kid. Mind you´re own things peasant." she replied in a highly arrogant tone but as quietly as I.

'What did you just say. You old fat wrench.'

Kakashi grabbed me by my shirt and dragged me next to him.

"Behave yourself. Your a ninja." he said so low that only I could hear it. I gave him the evil-eye.

'I didn´t do anything.'

"Noooooo" Naruto yelled at the Hokage, who read out the next few D-ran missions available.

"No thanks to all of those. I want to do a more exiting mission. Choose something else." he continued making a cross with his arms this time. I sighed.

'If you only knew the consequences.'

"What´s on your mind, Mizu-chan?" Kakashi-sensei asked me all of sudden.

'I hate when he use my nickname it always means i´m in trouble.

"What do you mean, Kakashi-sensei?" I tried to play innocent.

"You were distracted the minuet I announced the mission. Tell me why?"

'He doesn´t make it easy, does he.'

"I know what´ll happen but I can´t tell you, if I do it might change things, well me being here is already a change." I sighed. "I´ll tell you but I can´t reveal details, it´d probably change too much."

I told him. He looked at me for a second longer before turning his attention towards Hokage-sama and Naruto as the latter started to pout.

"Okay I understand." the other three Genins snapped to attention.

"If you insist... I´ll allow you to take on a C ranked mission. It´s to escort a certain person." the Hokage continued.

"Really? Who? Who? The feudal lord? Or a princess?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"Don´t get so hasty. I´ll introduce him now. Can you please come in now?" Sarutobi-sama spoke up. We all looked towards the door. It opened and a heavenly drunk old man entered the room.

"What? They´re all kids!" he announced.

'Captain obvious in the flesh.'

"Hey, is the smallest one with the idiotic face really a ninja?" the drunkard continued.

"Who´s the smallest one with the idiotic face?" Naruto asked gleefully. We all took a step towards him, so he could see he was the smallest. Kakashi had to hold back Naruto or that idiot would have tried to kill the man we should protect.

"I am the bridge building expert Tazuna. Once I have returned to my country, I´ll have all of you protect my life with yours while I complete the bridge." he announced.

-öööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö-

'Am I the only one who´s puzzled how he got here if he was on the black list of Gato? Shouldn´t he be long dead?'

I mused as I headed to the gate of the village. After the announcing we quickly went home to pick up our things as we had to arrive at the gate in 15 minutes. I arrived at the gate and we headed out immediately.

"All right! Let´s go!" Naruto yelled a few steps outside the gage, he had turned around as he was the first our line.

"What are you all exited for?" a slightly annoyed Sakura asked.

"Because I´ve never gone outside the village before." he answered happily.

'I totally forgot about that. Come to think of it, I never left the village either. Okay I came from outside but I don´t remember anything. I should have been his friend sooner …... but that would have fucked up the whole thing with Mitzuki and the Kage-bunshin-no-jutsu, which´ll be one of his best weapons in the future.'

I tuned into the conversation again as the old geezer told Naruto he wouldn´t even take notice of him if he would be Hokage. I shook my head as I walked the few steps to the other, who had joined Naruto. Kakashi-sensei had to hold back Naruto a second time to not kill our client, who just kept on walking, drinking all the time. I looked up as I had the unnerving feeling of being watched and caught a glimpse of a cloak in one of the trees.

'So they´re already here.'

I frowned but started to move as the others were already heading of.

-öööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö-

We have walked for a while in silence until Sakura asked about ninjas in the land of waves and Kakashi´s explanation about all the ninja villages. I once again tuned out that conversation in order to observe our surrounding more carefully. After a little while we passed over a bridge, the river below was only at a third of his usually high. A good five minutes later I recognized the puddle of water on the street. I readied myself as I knew they would attack in the next moment.

True to my words they attacked in a flash. They wrapped Kakashi in their chain and ripped him into pieces right in front of our eyes. The remains landed in a heap a few feet next to us. As the other were shocked, I focused chakra in my feet. The two demon brothers appeared behind Naruto in a flash. As Sasuke fixated their chain on a tree, I charged at the brothers and dodged their swipes at me and punched them in the faces. A dull cracking sound was heard as their mask and,I presumed, jaws broke. That didn´t stop the from releasing their chain and one, Meizu, charging at Naruto and the other Gozu at Tazuna-san. Sakura stepped in front of the old guy, trying to protect him and Sasuke,too. Both were saved as Kakashi-sensei appeared out of nothing and interrupting their air supply as he had their necks pressed between his forearms and torso. I went over to Naruto.

"Hey you okay there?" I asked him,he looked at the tree lumps, which Kakashi had used as a replacement.

"Naruto, sorry for not helping out right away. I got you hurt. I didn´t think you wouldn´t be able to move."

'Is he serious, he didn´t even apologised for braking my arm. Jerk.'

"Anyway, Sasuke,good job. Sakura and Gomizu, you too."

I looked down at Naruto, who looked like he just saw the Jounins dancing ballet. I knew what he thought, but I couldn´t interfere as it was important for him, only the harsh words of Kakashi-sensei and the teasing of Sasuke, he wouldn´t make the decision to not be afraid again.

I casually walked over to Sasuke as he taunted Naruto for being a chicken and punched him in the arm. Judging by his face it still have to hurt, even if I had hold back, I grinned at him and stuck my tongue out.

"Show-off." I muttered to him as I went to Sakura and Tazuna, having missed what Kakashi told Naruto about the nails of those two.

"By the way Tazuna-san." Kakashi said, which startled the other man, who stammered out a

"What is it?"

"I need to talk to you." He only said and brought the two demon brothers to a tree. I gave him a rope and those two were safely tied to the tree. A little while later they woke up and Kakashi continued.

"These guy are Chuunin-class ninja from the Hidden village of Mist. They are ninjas knowing to keep fighting no matter what the cost.

"How were you able to detect our action?" one of the asked.

'No broken jaw then, but maybe the other one as he doesn´t speak.'

"Gomizu do you care to explain." I looked up at the Jounin´s question. I shrugged.

"You see the river back there was only a third of his usually height, which meant it had not rained in the past couple of days. Furthermore it´s really sunny today and therefore they should have been no water puddle on the street." I explained, the silver haired nodding in the end.

"Why did you let the kids fight if you knew that?" Tazuna wanted to know.

"If I was up to it I could have killed these two in a blink of an eye. But I needed to know who the target for these two was."the other one said with a suddenly serious face.

"What do you mean?"

'Civilian always making everything more complicated.'

"In other words, were you being targeted, or somebody from our ninja group? We had not heard anything about you being targeted by ninjas. You´re request was to protect you from armed groups like gangs and robbers. This is a mission that is about a B rank. Our job was to support and guard you until you completed the bridge. If ninjas are our enemy , this mission would have been an expensive B rank. It looks like you have your reasons, but it only troubles us if you lie in your request details. This wasn´t part of the mission." Kakashi explained.

"This mission is out of our league. Let´s quiet."

"And here I was thinking you´ve finally grown a back bone." I spit out, I hated her giving up nature, it this time. Sakura ignored me.

" We need anaesthesia to take out the poisoned blood out of Naruto, too. We need to go back to the village and see a doctor." she continued.

"This sure is burden. Let´s had back to the village to cure Naruto." he said after a little while of thinking. I could see the wheels turning in Naruto´s head and how he would not be a burden. To all of our surprise, well not me, he stabbed himself into the back of his hand, where the poise nous nail scratched him. He turned around after a few second.

"The missions is still on." he announced proudly.

"Naruto, it´s nice that you took out the poisoned blood so spiritedly..." the Sensei butted in,

"But you´re going to die from blood loss if anymore comes out." Naruto panicked at that.

'Could he really die? It doesn´t look that much. Wouldn´t it be right now that Gato meets Zabuza and Haku. It´ll looked like that in anime, but it can´t be right now as Gato know those two have failed. Maybe in a couple of hours, I doubt Gato has messengers with ninja speed.

Kakashi had managed to bandage the hand of Naruto, who jumped up and down in panic.

-öööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö-

As the trip would still be over a days walk, we more like Tazuna, decided we´ll stay in an inn for the night. We finally reached one short before dawn and rented two rooms. I and Sakura ad to share one and the males would take the other one for safety reasons. After dinner most of us went to bed right away like Tazuna, Sakura and Naruto.

'Kakashi managed to hide his face, no idea how he did that.'

I on the other and jumped up on the roof to look at the moon. In nearly a week it´s going to be full moon. I always had a longing for the moon it was even stronger than for the sun and it got stronger the nearer the full moon was.

'Maybe I´m a werewolf.'

"Hey." a voice ended my musing.

"Show-off what can I do for you?" I asked.

"What did you talk about with Kakashi-sensei the mission room?" he asked in sort of pissed off voice.

"If you want know the answer ask Kakashi-sensei. Now if you excuse me you ruined my mood. Night." I said, jumping down onto the balcony of mine and Sakura´s room. I finished my going to be routine and buried myself under the covers. Sleep overtook me in an instance.

AN:

Hope you liked it.

Next stop is the Zabuza arc and I´m still debating over letting Haku and Zabuza die.

You can tell me what you´d like to happen.

I had never ever had a broken arm that´s why I had to research most of it and I hope I got most of it right. I know it´ll take 3-6 weeks for a bone to heal completely but as Mizu has more than an average healing power, it only took 1,5 weeks. (I´ll say why in future chapters, but she´ll be no jinchuuriki.)

Next the currency, which is a pain in the ass to figure out due to knowing nearly nothing.

1 Ryo are 10 yen that´s why 1 Ryo are 10 cent. ( Kishimoto said that once.)

A D-rank mission 5,000-50,000 Ryo (500-5,000 USD) even if I would divide that through 5 and say 30% are taxes it´ll still be 70-700 USD for one D-rank mission.

You can do more than one mission per day and even if I say only 5 mission per week it´ll still be 350-3,500 USD per week and I guess it´ll be over 350 most off the time.

That´ll be a monthly payment of 1,400-14,000 USD.

I´ll just say for this story she´ll get something between 8,000-10,000. Which is still pretty much, considering one does only the lowest ranking of mission with a lot of free time in between.

I´m just guessing that the ninja gear and the rent is expensive and that ninjas do not do as many missions a month due to their training.

(monthly cost: → 3,000$ rent

up to 3,000$ if ninja to be replaced

food up to maybe 500$ as it is cheap as long as you don´t eat outwards all the time

500$-1,000$ other needed stuff

if any rest savings )

Furthermore the higher the mission the longer they take even if their better paid. For example the Zabuza mission has to at least be 2 weeks long, 1 week travelling there and back (they need 3 days to Suna with Ninja speed, so they´ll need longer with a civilian) and 1 week there .

That´s why I´d made the weights and will make her further equipment expensive as their custom made.

The apartment only consist of a bedroom, which is her little art studio and library at the same time, a bathroom and small living room combined with a kitchen. The hallway leads directly to the living room, left is the bedroom and right is the bath.

I know that Mizu trained the last years but I was just thinking she would intensify her training once she´s a Genin and after Kakashi´s little speech. Furthermore she has now the weights as extra training.

The chakra training I included as she wasn´t able to control it really good and even if she´s better at it than Sasuke and Naruto, Sakura is still better. Sakura was trained directly under Tsunade I highly doubt she´d would accept any average ninja with chakra control as her personal student.

I have a cat so I write about my experiences and for the feudal lord´s wife, I always thought they would still think they´re better than the rest. Even if their seem to be nice they wouldn´t listen to anyone, who didn´t have the same status as them or was something like a well respected person (Hokage or well known hero).

I do not know when I´m able to upload the next chapter as I´m under stress to finish a few little things.
