~~Kononagakure no Sato~~
~~ (Time skip 2 years)~~
~~Hinedo Clan House~~
It's a bright, sunny morning in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The birds are starting to sing as villagers start to open up their shops for the day. You will find five year old Ayami peacefully sleeping in her bed without a care in the world. Nothing can seem to bother her while she relishes in her dreams. When suddenly a figure appears in front of her sleeping body. The shadowy figure stares at her before starting to perform hand seals.
"Suiton Taihoudan no Jutsu…" The person whispered while holding a dog hand sign.
A weak water gun shoots out of their mouth on to Ayami. She sputters awake jumping out of bed staring at the intruder. As she wipes the water out of her eyes she sees her best friend of two years Koyami standing there with her seemingly permanent cocky smirk. Even though there was so much going on only one thought stood out.
Koyami is an ass.
"Ah Yami-chan you should be more alert. You never know who is sneaking around you know?"
"Shut up! It's six in the morning, nobody is awake at this unholy hour. Speaking of that why are you here?" Ayami whines while changing in to something dry. Seriously she could have continued dreaming. The donuts were waiting.
"Aw Yami-chan you wound me. What happened to dropping me off to my first day at the academy. You were so excited yesterday. Oh well I guess I will head there without you." As she started to walk away Ayami immediately jumped on her back. Luckily with all her training Koyami was able to hold herself and Ayami up.
"Hehe right right! Let me get ready and we will head out. Is your family coming?"
"Ohta-neechan and Raiden-nii are downstairs with your family but Kaa-chan, Tou-chan and Sora-neechan are taking care of little Chiharu. She just turned two and got the flu remember?" Koyami told her while waiting on her now dry bed as Ayami finished getting ready.
"I remember. It's just weird to think Sora-nee and Raiden-nii aren't together. They always are."
"Oy just because their twins doesn't mean they are inseparable. Anyways are you ready? I don't want to be late my first day."
"Hai hai let's go." Ayami laughed as she ran downstairs to the kitchen with Koyami following behind.
So much had changed in two years. Koyami had started taking training very seriously and began to mimic her siblings in a lot of aspects from her mannerisms to her clothes. She now wore a dark red short-sleeve jacket with her clan symbol on the back, black anbu style pants and red sandals. Her training left her incredibly busy and barely having time for Ayami but it wasn't too bad considering she had started visiting Kumo, The Village Hidden in the Clouds, a lot in the last few years. Which meant she got to make another friend, Samui, the fourth Raikage's daughter. And then came Tomo, her cute little imouto, she like Chi-Chan just made two. All in all the last two years have been great but Koyami could be around more.
"Ohayo Yami-chan it seems Ko-chan finally woke you up. Are you ready to go?" Ohta smiled. She was always so nice to her and motherly even though she is only 10 years older than her.
Ayami nodded energetically. She kissed her mother and sisters bye while going on her way with Koyami, Ohta and Raiden. As they made their way through the village they would pass by villagers and greet them politely. They were from powerful clans so it was normal for them to get acknowledged by the populace. It seemed someone else noticed that too.
Konoha Academy
As the group walked up to the academy they noticed a kid probably around their age running towards them. He had spiky blonde hair with azure blue eyes. He was a simple white t-shirt adorned with the Uzumaki spiral, black pants and ninja sandals. He looked very energetic and Ayami was wondering how she had never seen him before.
"Yo my name is Uzumaki Naruto and I'm going to be hokage dattebayo!" Screamed the boy Naruto.
"Oh my name is Kazehaya Koyami and this is my best friend Hinedo Ayami. Are you enrolling today as well?" Koyami asked not really interested in his answer but wanting to be polite.
"No Hokage-jiji said I'm too young but soon I will and I'll become the best ninja ever!"
He sure is cheery. Maybe he and Ayami would get along well. After all Koyami knows she is busy quite often and wants her friend to have someone to hang out with that matches her excitement besides the Inuzuka gaki.
"Mm that is too bad. Ayami here is not entering today. Perhaps you both could get to know each other and meet me after my classes finish today. How about that teme?" Koyami questioned with her usual arrogant smirk.
"Sure Naruto we can hang out while this baka attends some boring class. Anywhere you want to go in particular?"
As the two started discussing their plans Koyami said her byes as she went off to her first day of class. Her first step into her kunoichi career. As she was walking into the academy Naruto and Ayami decided to head to his favorite restaurant first. Ichiraku Ramen.
Ichiraku Ramen
"This is my favorite place they have the best ramen in the world!" He exclaimed without hiding a hint of his excitement.
"Ah Tou-chan our favorite customer is back. Hi Naruto-kun, how are you and who is your little friend?" A young brunette woman asked.
"Ayame-neechan this is Hinedo Ayami and we just met. She likes ramen so I thought she should come here too. Can we have two miso ramens with extra pork?"
"Coming right up!"
The ramen was spectacular! Ayame and her father Teuchi were great people and made fantastic ramen. She would have to bring Koyami here to try it. Next Naruto wanted to go to the Hokage Monument before we head back to the academy. So far he is a really cool guy but the villagers don't look too kindly on him. It was weird.
Hokage Monument
"This is my favorite spot in the village. One day my head will be up here too just you wait!" Naruto seemed dead set on becoming Hokage but she could not understand why.
"Why do you want to be Hokage Naruto? You talk about it all the time but you never said why." Ayami was not prepared for the response she was about to get.
"So that will everyone will respect me and stop treating me like dirt! Once I become Hokage they will have to acknowledge and accept me!" He cried out without realizing how hard he screamed at her.
Ayami was taken aback. Here before her was not the goofball she was previously hanging out with but a boy who seemed lost and upset. Honestly she did not know what to do but one thing.
"If that's what you want to do then do it. I believe in you. I want to become a super strong kunoichi, even stronger than my mother the clan head. Everybody has dreams, who am I to tell you not to go after them." Ayami spoke with honesty. Koyami always encouraged her dreams so she would stand with Naruto.
Naruto was shocked someone believed in him. Maybe she would want to continue being his friend. Maybe he wouldn't be so alone anymore. Just maybe…
"Hey it's getting pretty close to the academy closing time. Are you ready to head back and meet with Koyami?'
Naruto looked up at her. This girl really wanted to hang out with him and invited him to return back to the academy with her. Things were looking up for our blonde knucklehead.
"Yosh!"
Konoha Academy
"Koyami over here!"
Koyami looked over when she heard her name being yelled. She sees Naruto and Ayami together waiting for her. It looks like they will get along just fine.
"Hey baka how was class? Make any friends?"
"Now teme do you know me to make friends so easily? The classes are easy, stuff I already know. You could probably breeze through it even with the half brain you have." Koyami loved to annoy Ayami. It was one of her favorite past times.
"Ah shut up baka! Come on I want to show you this ramen shop Naruto introduced me to. I think you'll really like it. I'll even be nice and let you pay for me!" Ayami jumped on top of Koyami's back and started leading the way with her poor dreadlocked hair.
As Ayami painfully pulled Koyami's hair like horse reigns the trio made their way to Ichiraku's Ramen. Naruto had never felt so welcomed by two people his age before. Life would certainly be different with these two around.
Koyami and Ayami have finally met Naruto. Looks like they will have a big role in his life.
