A/N: Hey I'm Back, I thank those people who read the first two chapters, and special thanks to Maelynae-san for liking my work enough to wait for future episodes. I do apologize for the long wait since real life's a drag. Anyway, without further ado here are the next two chapters.

Chapter III

"I WANT TO BE KONOHA"S FIRST FEMALE HOKAGE!"

Kushina slowly opened her eyes and looked around, everyone has their eyes on her and some are already glaring at her while others were whispering. 'Shoot! I must've overdid it, damn I screwed up!' were the thoughts that ran in her mind as she slowly sat down. She sighed, knowing full well that she just embarrassed herself in front of the class on her first day, of all times.

Minato looked at their classmates and then back at Kushina. He immediately felt that everyone was thinking badly of her so he tapped her on the shoulder and spoke with a smile."Hey, good job!"

Kushina glared at the boy who simply continued smiling at her. 'What is up with this guy! Is he trying to play goody-two-shoes or something? Geez!' were the thoughts that ran on her already tired mind. She decides to just play along. "Thanks." she replies.

"Next, Namikaze, Minato!" announced the instructor.

"Oh, I'm up, excuse me." Minato said as he stood up. He looked at his classmates then at his red haired seatmate and was surprised that the latter was looking at her curiously. 'Oh, she's interested in what I have to say, eh? Perfect!' thought the young boy.

Kushina looked at Minato while he stood silently. 'Well then Mr. Goody-two-shoes, let's see what you got,' she thought in anticipation. 'I bet you'll say something like I want to be like the 3rd Hokage, Ha! As if…you probably won't get past chuunin,'she added, silently berating the blond.

"Hey everybody, My name is Minato Namikaze, pleased to meet you all," said Minato as he introduced himself, while keeping an eye around for any reactions. 'So far, so good,' he thought. "As for my dream…"

Kushina moved slightly closer so that she could clearly hear him. 'All right, say something plain and be like any other kid around here, At least mine was unique,' she thought proudly.

"My dream is to become the Hokage…" Minato stated.

Kushina let out a small grin. 'See? I thought so! No originality whatsoever,' she thought triumphantly. She leaned back to her seat and shifted her interest somewhere else, assuming that Minato has finished his simple speech.

"I want to be a great Hokage that everyone in the village will respect," continued the blond boy. Kushina looked at the others and some were nodding in either agreement or appreciation while some females were whispering and giggling as Minato looked their way, some even winked.

'What the hell,' Kushina thought angrily. 'I say I want to be a hokage, I get glared at, when he said it, he gets cute winks and nods of agreement? Is it because I'm new to this village?'

Minato sat down and sighed, "Whew, glad that's over." He turned and looked at Kushina and was surprised that the female was glaring at her. "Uh…yes?"

"Hmph!" was Kushina's reply before looking away.

Minato chuckled as he scratched the back of his head, 'What'd I do?' he thought.

After everyone in the class recited, the instructor started the lesson for that day. After about three hours and several instructors later, the bell rang for lunch break; sending most of the students out to buy food while some brought out their lunchboxes and ate either alone or with a group. Minato himself took out his lunchbox and opened it, revealing a neatly prepared rice, egg and vegetable lunch. "Hey, Uzumaki-san would you like to…" Minato asked but stopped when he didn't see his see his seatmate. "Oh I guess she went out, it's a shame since I wanted to share my lunch with her, oh well," he added with a shrug, then started to eat. "Mmmm, tasty! As expected from mom!"

Kushina went to the cafeteria since she really didn't have anything to prepare at home being just moved to Konoha yesterday. She lined up at the cafeteria and ordered a simple beef ramen. She sat on a lone table near the door and started eating in silence.

"May I sit here?" came a soft feminine voice

Kushina looked up while still in the middle of eating her noodles and saw a female with dark hair and eyes, holding a lunch tray and waiting for her reply. She simply nodded, being unable to speak with her mouth full.

"Thank you," came the other female's reply and sat at the empty seat in front of Kushina. "You're Kushina Uzumaki aren't you? "

Kushina swallowed the ramed she was eating and nodded before replying, "Yeah, and you are?"

"Oh excuse me…" replied the other female apologetically, "My name is Mikoto Uchiha."

Kushina looked at the girl before her curiously, "Uchiha, you mean like strongest-clan-in-Konoha Uchiha?" Mikoto simply nodded and Kushina almost spat out her food.

"Are you all right?" Mikoto asked Kushina.

"Y-Yeah…" Kushina replied, "I'm surprised somebody from that clan is talking to somebody like me."

"Well it's not like I'm from the main family. Our clan is quite big so everyone simply assumes that all Uchiha are special." Mikoto replied "Some of us are really not used to that title. Anyway, what you said earlier was simply so amazing."

Kushina looked at her curiously, "Something I said?"

Mikoto nodded, "Yes, that part about wanting to be the first female hokage was so amazing."

"Ah, that…" Kushina replies sheepishly. "I just wanted to impress everybody that's all."

"Well you did make quite an impression all right!" came another female voice, this time, more rough and boyish sounding.

The two females turned to where the voice came from and saw a female with shaggy dark hair, narrow eyes and red markings on her face. The newcomer looked at Mikoto and slashed a grin "So you were with the new girl."

"Yes…" came Mikoto's reply "she's pretty nice and friendly".

Kushina looked at Mikoto's friend curiously. "Oh, this is Tsume Inuzuka," stated Mikoto as she introduced the other female.

"Yo, nice meeting you,' stated Tsume, showing a rather toothy grin.

Kushina nodded and smiled. "Nice meeting you too, I'm Kushina Uzumaki," she stated while shaking Mayura's hand. "Wait, you guys heard what I said earler, so that means…"

Mikoto nodded with a smile "Yes, we're in the same class. "

"Let's get along well", added Tsuma.

Kushina nodded with a smile. The three females chatted for a while longer before heading back to their room. When they returned, they noticed a crowd of female students gathered around a certain boy.

"Isn't that your seatmate Kushina?" inquired Mikoto.

"Yeah…" Kushina replied, "I wonder what the fuss is?" The three entered the room and observed the rather peculiar event.

"Can you hear them Tsuma?" Mikoto asked the Inuzuka Genin.

"Yeah…" came Tsuma's reply.

"What's it about?" asked Kushina.

"They're just questioning him about stuff, no big deal," came the reply. "Though I'd say they're just interested in the kid because he's a looker." Tsuma added with a chuckle.

"Pfft…" Kushina replied, "He looks like a wimp to me."

Suddenly, all the female genin gathered around Minato turned to Kushina's direction and glared at her. Kushina looked at them with a frown, "What? something wrong?"

"Aren't you being so high and mighty miss 'I want to be the first female Hokage'", Sarcastically replied one of the female students.

"She probably thinks she's better than Minato-chan here," added another.

"Of course I am…" Kushina shot back. "I'll prove it to every one of you guys!"

The girls surrounding Minato started gathering around Kushina's group, giving them thertining looks and insults. Kushina shot back with some insults of her own and soon after Tsuma and Mikoto joined and backed up their newfound friend. Soon, the remainder of the class were gathered around the group.

"H-Hey, can't we all just get along?" Minato interrupted the group before anything serious happened. "We're all classmates here, aren't we?"

Minato's groupies acknowledged "Minato-chan's" request and backed off. As the "leader" of the group passed by Kushina, she whispered softly to the red-haired genin's ear.

"Better watch your back, tramp."

"Why you little…!" Kushina exclaimed in rage as she tried to attack the other female, only to be restrained by both Mikoto and Tsuma.

"H-Hey! Calm down," Tsuma exclaimed.

"Let go of me Inuzuka-san! I'm going to teach her a lesson!" Kushina exclaimed as she struggled to break free from the two girls' grip.

"Kushina-san, please calm down…" pleaded Mikoto. "If you do that, the faculty will certainly punish you!"

"Yeah, just ignore her and her groupies!" Tsuma added.

Kushina calmed down after a few seconds and sighed, "Oh all right…" The two females slowly let go of the red-head's arms and sighed in relief. "Thanks, guys and sorry if I got you involved," she added.

"Nah, don't mention it." Tsuma replied with a grin. "I kinda know, some of those girls so if they ever trouble you in any way, just give me a call!"

"I'll also help out if I can, after all being an Uchiha does have its advantages," Mikoto added with a wink.

"Thanks guys." Kushina replied.

Minato looked at the three ladies and sighed 'Whew glad that's over, still I should apologize to Uzumaki-san for causing her and her friends some trouble.' "Um…" he stated as he approached the three ladies.

Kushina heard Minato's voice and immediately pointed at him. "YOU! I don't really know what you told those girls but whatever it is, I'm not going to fall for it. You think you're so special just because of your little speech and your goody-two-shoes smile? Well I, Uzumaki Kushina, will prove that you're just a flake and wimp. I'm going to get ahead of you in all our subjects so be prepared!"

Minato, as well as Tsuma and Mikoto, and probably everyone who was in the room at that particular time, turned and looked at the bold declaration made by the unknown red-head who just moved from another country in sheer astonishment. Kushina's two friends even had both of their mouths wide open in shock at her statement.

Minato looked at the red headed female student curiously, 'Great another challenge, this time from the new kid. And I thought Fugaku and Hiashi were the only pushy ones.' but somehow unlike the previous challengers, he felt that this was one challenger he absolutely could not refuse. He nodded and smiled at Kushina,

"All right I accept your challenge!"

A/N: Don't be too surprised if I used Kiba and Sasuke's mothers as Kushina's friends since they strike me as the first ones to befriend Kushina if ever (though I have no basis for this, just thought it was fun). So if you have any complaints, go cry to a nearby judge ^_^.
