Chapter Three- Clothes Shopping, Photo ID and Stupid Counsels.

While Hiruzen showed the three where the Uzumaki compound was, he told Kushina and Naruto that they could join the leaf's shinobi forces. Both Kushina and Naruto agreed, but they wanted to be one Natsumi's team.

So Kushina was up and about, both she and Naruto would need clothes that would fit this era. That and Kushina wanted Natsumi to wear something that didn't scream 'kill me' or make her stand out. If she could get away from ANBU wearing bright orange then Kushina wondered who she could get away with wearing black.

Natsumi was having a bad dream, all around her were dead bodies and they were asking her, why she killed them… and that she was the demon that they called her. Never being one to show her fear, she didn't scream, but a calm voice pulled her out of her dream and she was looking into her sisters grey eyes.

"Natsumi what's wrong?" Kushina asked. She was worried when she saw tears forming in Natsumi's eyes, but she knew that the young girl would have had a horrible childhood.

"It was just a bad dream," Natsumi told her. This wasn't her apartment… it was nicer, and the room was bigger than her apartment, oh right, Uzumaki compound.

"If you want to talk about, I'm here," Kushina told her. Times had changed and Kushina was still finding things about it "Also we need to go shopping,"

"But why?" Natsumi asked. Didn't her older sister know that the only reason she wore this, was because it was the only thing that the civilians would give her… or she would have to waste money on clothes, since she would be overcharged.

"Naruto is wearing armour that father –Madara- wore, so it hasn't been seen since the 'waring era' or the first Hokage's time," Kushina said. That's when Natsumi looked at what she was wearing, black kimono which was made out of cotton and seemed to be heavy. The sleeves covered most of her palms and it showed of her large C-cup, which was due to Kushina having large amounts of chakra "And I'm wearing what the Akumu wore to battle, which is why most of my face isn't covered."

"I don't see anything wrong, with what you're wearing," Natsumi told her, Kushina smiled at her and she knew that Natsumi didn't quite get it. They were Madara's children and he was a traditor to the leaf, if the third was right, but Kushina knew her father had a good reason for what he did, he always did.

"It's from the wrong time," Kushina said as she sat on Natsumi's bed. How could she tell this to the young girl "We're from the past right?"

"Yes,"

"But the thing is… we don't want anyone knowing we're from the past," Kushina explained. She knew the girl was smart, but she had to hide it so people wouldn't think that she was the nine tails "If they did know, all three of us will have people trying to kill us, in our sleep,"

"Oh okay," Natsumi nodded she got it. Thinking back to what Kushina told her about clothes, maybe she could something that was a 'shinobi outfit' as much as she loved orange and she hoped that Kushina would allow her to wear some.

"Natsumi, wearing some colour isn't going to be bad," Kushina told her "Even I wore a dark red or dark blue, hell my brothers armour is a bright red,"

"Sure," Natsumi said. Getting out of bed, showing Kushina her nightgown. Kushina had to hold back her laughter when she saw that Natsumi wore a nightgown with frogs or toads on it, it was cute on her and her blonde hair went to the middle of her back.

"I'll let you get dress," Kushina said "I'll also make breakfast and get Naruto out of bed,"

"Kushina, don't hurt Naruto too much," Natsumi called after the raven haired girl, she knew that if Naruto didn't get out of bed, he was going to be in pain. Kushina's smile was too 'innocent' for her to be planning anything else.

"I'll try,"

When Natsumi was dressed, she went to the kitchen… she got lost once or twice, but she found it. When she entered the room, she saw that Naruto wasn't wearing his armour, but black robes with the Uchiha fan on the back.

"Where's Kushina?" Natsumi asked, before sitting across from him.

"I can't cook, so Kushina's making breakfast," Naruto told her. It was a habit of hers, since none of the Uchiha males could cook, Kushina took it upon herself to make sure they didn't poison themselves "None of us could cook, so Kushina will most likely be making lunch and breakfast,"

"I did make lunch and breakfast," Kushina said. She was holding two plates one she put in front of me and the other in front of Naruto "You know I don't eat anything I don't cook,"

"What is it?" Natsumi asked. The only thing she ate was ramen because it go out, it didn't rot and it was the only thing she could buy… so she didn't know what a lot of other foods looked like.

"It's my secret recipe for dumplings, and for lunch I made three lunch boxes," Kushina told her as she got her own plate "My father and uncle liked them, but it's okay if you don't,"

"No, there really good," Natsumi said. It was as good as ramen, and she loved ramen.

"I'm glad you like it," Kushina said.

"You always need to eat where you can," Naruto said. His uncle had given him the Uchiha robes when he moved in, since they were both about the same size "Also, since we're part of the counsel, there's another meeting later,"

"Oh joy," Kushina muttered "Now we get to get headaches from people who don't know the basics of sealing,"

Once they had finished breakfast, Naruto went to the place that the Hokage told them wouldn't over charge Natsumi and he gave them some money to buy clothes for the three of them. Both he and Kushina still had most of the weapons they took to the fight that day, and they liked to make sure they had more than they needed. Most couldn't do it, but sealing objects away was child's play for Kushina, even Naruto and he never made it pass the second level.

"Kushina, the Ho-"

"Grandfather," Natsumi reminded them. Natsumi thought of Hiruzen as a grandfather, since he treated her kindly and she saw the two Uchiha/Akumu as older siblings.

"Yes, he gave me a place that wouldn't overcharge Natsumi,"

"Good, because I'll hold my threat, even if they haven't heard it," Kushina said, then she remembered that there was a meeting tonight "They'll know soon,"

"I know it's great," Naruto said, they were almost at the location and Naruto was keeping an eye on Kushina "We won't get kicked out because Kushina killed someone,"

"Why would she do that?" Natsumi asked. Kushina saw the glares that people were giving her and made Natsumi walk in between her and Naruto, so they wouldn't hurt… well, without having to go through her or Naruto.

"No one messes with my family, Naruto would do the same," Kushina told her, glaring at everyone who dared look at Natsumi the wrong way.

"You're our precious little sister," Naruto told her. Once someone from the Uchiha clan become protective of someone… even the Akumu clan, if someone hurts them, they better run for their lives because they will get killed "Here we are,"

"Welcome to Ninja Supplies," A girl with buns on her head said. Both Kushina and Naruto looked at her, she was a shinobi if the muscle on her arms said anything. That and she was wearing a Chinese styled pink top and pants… Kushina thought they were grey, but they could be green.

"Do you have clothes?" Naruto asked. He hated shopping for clothes… when they had money for it, so did about everyone else in his family, so it was mostly left to their mother and Kushina.

"Yes, there at the back and I'm Tenten," Tenten said, as she showed them where the clothes where located "If you need any help, call out,"

"It's nice to meet you Tenten, I'm Natsumi," Natsumi told her, as she looked at the different styled clothes "And this Naruto and Kushina,"

"Thank you Tenten," Kushina said as the girl went to the front of the store, where the weapons where located "Since we're in the female section, we may as well start here,"

After an hour, all three of them had a different outfit. Kushina and Naruto no longer looked like they didn't belong in this era. They asked Tenten if they could change into what they brought and she told them they could, but they had to pay for them first.

Natsumi loved the outfit they got her. She was wearing a dark orange top with sleeves that went to her elbows and ended just above her belly button, Kushina made sure that her seal wasn't located there, but when she saw that it was located at the top of Natsumi's back, she was more than happy for Natsumi to wear it. She also had a black sleeveless jacket that she wore open, showing off her small C-cup. On her legs she had black shorts and black tights with flat knee high boots, Kushina had found a skirt that went to her knees, but she loved it, since the slit on the left had a dark orange trimming, even the hood on her jacket had a dark orange trimming.

Kushina was wearing a similar outfit, in fact the only difference is that she went for dark red, instead of a dark orange. Both Natsumi and Kushina agreed to wearing their forehead protector around their waists, it saved them money… since they didn't have to buy a belt.

Naruto never really cared for clothes, so Kushina had to make his outfit, which was black cargo pants with a short sleeve fish net short under a dark blue shirt, that showed a little of the fish net. He also had a dark grey jacket that he wore closed and black shinobi shoes. He wore his forehead protector around his upper right arm.

"Guess we'll gave to get our ID's done," Naruto said as they paid for everything they brought, they had the money Hiruzen gave them, and Natsumi was saving up for clothes so they had training gear as well. They knew that they might need other outfits, but for now the kimono's that Kushina always carried around with her would have to do.

This would be the only time, that he was glad that Kushina sealed everything she owned into a scroll and then into her wrist. They only had to buy Natsumi weapons, since he and Kushina had everything they owned with them, Kushina's paranoia had finally become useful.

"We'll be coming back Tenten," Kushina told the girl as they were leaving.

"Later, you should meet my teammates," Tenten told them. She loved it when females where taking the shinobi carrier seriously, and if her sensei can help them train, then she was sure that Neji and Lee wouldn't mind the extra training buddies, Lee would be happy to train with anyone if they gave it their all.

"We'd love to meet your teammates," Natsumi said.

"But now we have to get our IDs done, and then we have to put up with the counsel," Kushina told her "So it'll have to be another time,"

"That's okay, we might see you at the Hokage's tower, but todays out day off," Tenten told them. It was the only reason she was helping with her father's shop and she was glad that they came in on her day off "But come here at sunrise when you want to meet them,"

"Thank Tenten, but we have to go," Naruto told her.

Hiruzen was hoping that the three showed up soon, so he could get the meeting out of the way. Usually it was just him and the academy teachers choose the teams, but since most of the new genin where clan head children, he thought it was only fair that they have a say in their children's teams. Of course that meant calling all of the counsel.

"Grandfather!" Natsumi yelled. Pulling Hiruzen out of his thoughts, he was glad that his granddaughter wasn't wearing

"Why don't you get your photos taken," Hiruzen told them pointing to the man, who was waiting for the new Genins "While I call the counsel,"

"Okay," Naruto said. Walking over to the man who was reading an orange book, which was making him giggle over few seconds "Excess me?"

"Who's first?" The man asked walking over to his camera.

"I'll go first," Naruto said. He looked at the camera with a black expression, one that he had to learn at a young age. Emotions in war… they weren't any, some were foolish enough to keep them, but they had their uses.

"I'll go," Natsumi said. Hiro didn't care that the girl was the 'demon' of the village, in fact he never cared about what the village thought, to him he was just taking a picture of a smiling young girl, not a nine tailed fox.

"Mt turn," Kushina said. She did what her brother did, a blank face. Kushina didn't care what they thought of her, she was there to get the job done, not to be liked.

"Natsumi, Naruto and Kushina we need to go to the meeting room," Hiruzen said walking to the door. No one knew what the meeting was about, but they still had to come.

"Okay this meeting is in order," Hiruzen said. Natsumi was next to him, while Naruto and Kushina sat next to her. Naruto was sitting next to Kushina and the Nara clan head "We're going to talk about the new Genin teams,"

"Then why are they here?" Min asked him. Weren't they some of the new Genin, so why did they get to choose which team they were on?

"They're now part of this counsel," Hiruzen told her, he didn't need Kushina killing her because she didn't know what respect was.

"Troublesome, I think that the Ino-Shika-Cho group should be run this year," Shikaku said. They were here to talk about his son's team, not why the three were here "And Asuma should lead, since he knows all three clans,"

"Team Ten had been chosen," Hiruzen said. Writing it down on his scroll, this was why they were in a room with a table and not the normal meeting room. That and it takes more effect to get to another member…. Kushina.

"We'll need a tracking unit as well," Kushina said. She learned about different clans in fire country from her mother.

"Good idea," Tsume said. She wanted to have a tracking unit in the last bunch, but they didn't have the right students, now they did "Hinata, Shino and Kiba should be a tracking unit,"

"Team Eight has been chosen, but we need a sensei," Hiruzen said. He was looking at files for Jonins… but before he could choose one, Hiashi spoke up.

"Kurenai, she's the only one who can help Hinata," Hiashi said. He saw sure that the other wouldn't mind, but it just a suggestion.

"Kurenai is Team Eights sensei,"

"Sasuke-kun should be with Kakashi, as well as Naruto and Kushina in case he awakens his Sharingan," Min said. Hiruzen just sighed, why did almost every meeting had to be about 'Sasuke' and how they had to make sure he stayed.

"We're right here you know," Kushina growled "And we made a deal, we'll only be Genin for Konah if we're with Natsumi,"

"Both Kushina and I have no trouble, taking Natsumi and leaving," Naruto added "And we'll make your life a living hell,"

"Why would you want to be with that demon?" Min asked. Kushina was getting sick of this, so she unsealed a scroll, that she knew had her Katana and throw it at the pink haired women "Why did you do that?"

"But my Katana's sealed in it, so by your logic that means the scroll should have cut you," Kushina said crossing her arms over her chest an ANBU got the scroll and gave it back to her "But it didn't, because the scroll didn't turn into a katana, this is the basics for all sealing,"

"Natsumi isn't the fox, the fox is the fox and Natsumi is Natsumi," Naruto explained "May I ask you a question?"

"Sure,"

"Does Natsumi have nine tails?" Naruto asked.

"No," Min answered looking at the girl, no she didn't have nine tails, but what did that have to do with it.

"She is as tall as a mountain?" Kushina asked.

"No,"

"Then she isn't the fox, and trust me if she was, you'd be dead," Kushina told them, the civilians paled "The fox wouldn't have allowed itself to be attacked and if it take over Natsumi's body, you'd still be dead,"

"The person who did the seal, must have been bad," Naruto said. He didn't know who did the seal, but who it was wasn't a seals master, if everyone was doubting his work.

"No, he was a seals master," Min shouted. How dare they suggest the fourth was weak. They didn't know him.

"Then his seal would keep the demon at bay then," Kushina said. That made everyone quiet, they didn't think that calling Natsumi a 'demon' was doubting the fourths seal.

"Team Seven will be led by Kakashi, with Natsumi, Kushina, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke," Hiruzen said "We might as well, see how a six man team turns out,"

"Also Naruto and I won't be training this 'Sasuke' unless we want to," Kushina said. She was calming down, but the next person who pissed her off in the next five minutes was going to meet her food or fist.

"Meeting dismiss,"
