Yumi wakes up from the sunshine and remembers she promised Naruto that she'll come with him on his mission. She shoots out of bed, runs passed Tsunade, quickly runs back and kisses her on the cheek and heads to the alley. "I'm so sorry I'm late." Yumi puts her head down in shame. Naruto walks up to her.
"It's okay, I should of came and woke you up." Naruto tells her.
"So you're joining us today?" Kakashi walks up to her. "You know these are Genin missions, you really don't need to help." Kakashi whispers in her.
"Yeah, I know. I came just for fun. Hah," They both laugh. Sasuke gets irritated.
"Hey Kakashi! Can we get going?" Sasuke shouts. Yumi looks over Kakashi's shoulder. Her eyes widen.
"Hi Sasuke!" She waves and runs up to him. Sasuke stares at her and smirks. He scratches his head.
"Hey Yumi." They talk. Sakura and Naruto are eyeballing both of them. Naruto get jealous.
"Why must Sasuke do this? He takes every girl's affection. But he's not going to with Yumi! I'll make sure of it." Naruto is listening closely. Sakura is getting furious.
"I thought we were friends! Why is flirting with him?" Sakura is listening closely as well. Kakashi just laughs under his breath and continues to read make-out paradise. Yumi turns around to see Naruto and Sakura looking at them intensely. She notices Sakura is very angry.
"Sakura what's wrong?" Yumi trips on a rock. Sasuke tries to hold it in.
"Haha! How did you trip on that small rock? Haha." He couldn't hold it in. Yumi get up and brushes off the dirt on her knees.
"Oh no! I got mud on my pink ninja outfit!" She tries to brush it off. "Thanks Sasuke for laughing at me, hehe." She shakes her head so the mud gets out of her hair.
"You know I really like you're hair Yumi. The lavender goes with you're pink ninja outfit." He whispers in her ear. They both laugh.
"She made him laugh! The only time he laughed was when…" Sakura tries to remember. "I don't remember." Sakura makes a fist. "I should make him laugh!"
"Are you okay Sakura?" Naruto touches her arm. Yumi looks over. Kakashi puts down his book to watch this.
"Right now this is a little more interesting than my book, hah." Kakashi just watches them.
"Why is he touching her?" Sakura notices Yumi is looking over with a nervous look on her face.
"Yeah, Naruto I'm just feeling a little sad. This weather is looking as if it's going to rain. I feel so depressed today," She holds his hand. "I'm glad you're here with me Naruto." Naruto blushes so red that Yumi can see it. Naruto clears his throat.
"Thanks Sakura." He smiles at her; Sakura looks at Yumi and smirks.
"All right she's going down!" Fire appears in the background. "She's messing with the wrong girl!" She yells. Suddenly, Kakashi who began to read his book again, gets hit by a blast of chakra, they all rush to him.
"Kakashi!" Sasuke yells out. Yumi and Sakura bump into each other. They stare at each with intensity.
"Kakashi sensei!" Naruto yells out. Sasuke and Naruto and reach Kakashi. Suddenly Jiraiya shows up.
"Why isn't it Orochimaru. Hah. This is going to be fun!" Jiraiya laughs while helping Kakashi up. Sakura, Yumi, Naruto, and Sasuke look up. They are all shocked.
"Hello Jiraiya. I have come to take Naruto Uzumaki…and to kill Yumi." They all turn around to Yumi. She just shrugs.
"Why Yumi?" Kakashi asks. Naruto looks at Yumi. She's getting nervous.
"It'll be okay Yumi." Sasuke tells her. They smile at each other. Sakura see that and pushes her. Kabuto arrives next to Orochimaru.
"Trader!" Naruto shouts at Kabuto. "He's a medical ninja, don't let him touch you!" Naruto shouts to the three.
"Because Yumi posses a certain power that is close to the nine-tailed fox. If Itachi were to get his hands on the nine-tailed fox and Yumi's power…everything will be wiped out. That's why I hired the sound ninjas to kill her on her arrival.
"She naturally killed them." Jiraiya laughs.
"You can't touch her!" Naruto runs up to him.
"Quiet Naruto." Jiraiya gets sucker punched by a ninja. Sakura and Yumi are the only ones who aren't in battle. They're battling each other.
"How could you Yumi? You know I like him!" Sakura shoves her.
"What are you talking about? All I did was talk to him and made him laugh…out of my own stupidity," She sighs. "What's you're problem?" She backs away from Sakura.
"You were flirty with him!" Sakura gets in her face.
"No I wasn't! I like Naruto!" Yumi gets in her face.
"…You do…I thought-"
"You thought wrong. I'm attracted to Naruto, more than Hinata…so I heard. I would never like someone who you like Sakura. You're my friend." Yumi hugs Sakura. Sakura feels like a jerk now.
"I'm so sorry Yumi that I accused you." She holds Yumi tighter. Sasuke and Naruto notice that the girls aren't helping.
"We could use you're help guys!" Naruto shouts. They stand in front of them. "Why were you two hugging?" Naruto asks.
"Because we're close friends now. What of it Naruto!" Yumi and Sakura jump into battle. Naruto and Yumi look at each other and they nod their heads. Naruto jumps in the air, he does clone ramming suicide attack and Yumi combines her multiple clone jutsu. They combined the two moves; Orochimaru crashes to the ground, Naruto holds Yumi in his arms.
"I'll be back for Yumi, then Naruto." He sinks into the ground. Everyone runs up to Naruto and Yumi. Yumi smiles at him. He blushes and puts her down.
"Good job everybody. Haha." Jiraiya congratulates everyone. Kabuto shoots out poison needles. Yumi shouts out, "No!" she stands in the way so the needles can't hit anyone. Naruto pulls her back. The needles hit his chest; he goes down. Yumi catches before he falls to the ground.
"Naruto…" Sakura covers her mouth. She looks at Yumi. "He'll be all right, right Kakashi sensei?" He nods his head.
"The poison is probably attacking his heart." Yumi holds him tighter.
"Hey…" Naruto opens one eye. "Its okay Yumi," Yumi helps him up. "Just get me to the hospital okay," Naruto faints. They all run to the hospital. Naruto is on Yumi's back. "You're going to owe me ramen." He holds his hand out. She holds his hand. They get to the hospital. Tsunade checks him out.
"He'll be all right. It'll take him three to five days. It was a good thing you brought him when you did, any later, he would have been dead. Those needles had poison that attacked the heart and lungs immediately," Tsunade pats Yumi's back. "I'll see you later hun." Tsunade kisses her on the forehead and leaves. Yumi leaves.
Next the unexpected twist to Yumi's seal...
