Times Child

Chapter 3

Ten year old Emi Uzumaki quietly jumped from tree to tree tracking her target, her opponent was crafty cunning and deadly. Emi really wanted to prank her target it was something of utmost importance. Stopping she crouched low and peered through the leaves, her target was in position. She smiled to herself and then threw two kunai with balloons filled with pink paint. As the kunai reached their target they fazed through before vanishing altogether. Seeing this Emi cursed and turned to escape, a voice stopped her cold.

"You know Emi-chan it's not nice to try play pranks on your father. Because of this have a taste of your own medicine."

That being said Naruto Uzumaki dropped the balloons on his daughter turning her clothes and hair pink. Emi groaned silently she made her way home to change. As Naruto watched her go he thought back to how fast she had grown. When she was a baby Hinata had helped him learn how to care of her when he really thought about it he was a totally clueless when it came to taking care of a child let alone a baby! It was a fun experience especially with Hinata's help, there was that one time…

(Flashback)

Naruto was stuck; Emi-chan would not stop crying, as Hinata-chan came into the room where Emi's crib was Naruto gave her a pleading look. Giggling Hinata took Emi from him and then held her for a minute. Realizing the problem she handed her back to Naruto and said, "She needs to be changed Naruto-kun." She said smiling. "Just remove her diaper clean her up and put another one on ok? I'm going to get her a bottle for later." Hinata was glad for an excuse to make Naruto do it himself she knew he could. Of course she still felt that way about him but he knew that until Emi was older she wouldn't have a chance, so until then she would try to become Emi's mother in a way. She giggled to herself how sneaky she could be for love!

Meanwhile Naruto was cleaning Emi after removing her diaper he turned to get a clean one while turning toward Emi who was giggling like crazy, then he felt a strange sensation it was warm and wet and it was on his face.

"NANI!

(End Flashback)

Needless to say that jumpsuit was ruined, although Hinata could not stop laughing, which resulted in a tickle fight which Naruto won using his shadow clones. Naruto sighed to himself little Emi had grown so much and her pranks weren't that bad either.

Emi after returning to their apartment and changing her paint covered clothes, jumped on to the rooftops and sprinted with incredible speed toward her secret training spot. She had learned the rasengan surprisingly at her age. The reason was classified under her father's you need for your "protection"/it's an awesome move. Emi wanted to perfect her own variation of the rasengan which Hinata and her father had encouraged her to do. She practiced in secret because she didn't want her father to see plus she wanted to perfect it using a shadowclone. Landing in her secret spot known as Training ground 32 she summoned a clone began to practice. It was an old training ground mostly forgotten; it wasn't that far from the forest of death and was almost reclaimed by the forest around it. The notable feature was the two rivers on either side of the training ground. The rivers speed created a fine mist that covered the grounds. The mist concealed a Kiri headband that glinted in the sunlight.

Ishi Daime was not a good ninja, even though he had made Chuunin most say it was through sheer luck or stupidity. He was an average looking guy with a Kiri chuunin vest and black pants, sandals and brown hair. Sure he was so clumsy he made klutz's look safe and he was not allowed to have exploding tags on his person in the village because he might have blown up the Mizukage's personal hot spring. This combined with the fact he constantly tripped and slipped and landed with his hands groping his fellow kunochi, which caused numerous pervert beatings. All this made Ishi a laughing stock among his fellow mist ninja. The snickers and whispers behind his back had irritated him to no end, but the last straw that put him on a quest for redemption was when his then girlfriend Yoshi Takanashi dumped him because in her words he was a "was a joke not a ninja." This is what caused Ishi to leave his village and travel to Fire country to find and bring back something that would redeem him in the eyes of his peers. That was why he was in training ground 32 he had found his target, Emi Uzumaki.

The mist was thick enough that Ishi was well hidden. Now all he had to do was knock her out and run to mist. He readied himself then, with one swift movement he sprinted toward his target.

Emi Uzumaki was not an ordinary academy student, she was rumored to be low chuunin high genin level but no one ever pays attention to rumors do they? She knew someone was watching and all she was doing was waiting for them to make their move. Sadly Ishi was in for a painful awakening, as he was about to strike the back of her head Emi threw herself forward planted her hand and threw her foot right into Ishi's jaw. The impact lifted him off his feet, recovering Ishi flipped backwards and landed a couple feet away.

"You are a lucky little girl aren't you? Well your luck is going to take straight to the hidden mist village!"Said Ishi

Smirking Emi replied, "Skill doesn't run out stupid, I heard you before u even got into position, You have no skill at stealth please leave I don't want to cause an incident by harming you."

Quickly making hand signs Ishi yelled "Quiet brat, your attitude well only make me hurt you before I knock you out! HIDDEN MIST JUTSU!"

Making her father's favorite hand sign Emi summoned 7 clones, she sent them to locate her enemy, smirking she waited for her opponent to attack. Ishi quickly found the clones annoying and dispersing them with taijutsu he charged toward where he knew she was. Locating her Ishi went into a taijutsu combo that Emi avoided with incredible flexibility. Seeing an opening in her guard Ishi threw a hard kick to her stomach which sent her flying through the mist and landing hard near one of the rushing rivers. Ishi watched as she struggled to get up and called out, "Ready to give up and go to your soon to be home?"

Getting no answer Ishi made several hand signs before calling out, WATER STYLE Water Dragon Jutsu!

The dragon surged from the river behind Ishi and with and roar charged the girl. Seeing the dragon rushing at her Emi signed and called out WATER STYLE Water Barrier Jutsu!

A large wave from the river behind her encircled Emi and took the full might of the water dragon. While the Wave still encircled her Emi called,"I only have one thing to say to you mist boy!"

Growling in anger at her arrogance Ishi yelled," Nothing you say will change your fate girl!"

While signing three times and holding the Ram seal Emi replied in a smug tone, "Really? Then try my First Original Jutsu!

"WATER STYLE Water Bullet Gatling! "

At that the wave surrounding her fired tons of water bullets at Ishi at incredible speed. Ishi backpedaled and dodged to evade the numerous water bullets coming at him. Unnoticed by Ishi he was being pushed slowly toward the edge of the rushing river. Seconds later the water bullets stopped coming, Ishi grinned and laughing heartily said, "Is that all you have little girl?"

Smiling Emi on the other side of the training ground Emi said, "No. but this is checkmate!"

WATER SYTLE Watery Grave!

Faster than Ishi could think a hand made of water came up from the river behind him and dragged him down. Emi sank to her knees and released her jutsu, Ishi's body floated to the surface and downstream. Minutes later Naruto and several ANBU dropped into the clearing only to discover a unconscious Emi and a water soaked Training Ground.

Done! Wheew sorry for the epic delay super bad case of writers block but I got it finally! Review PLEASE! Skysrpke out!
