Nyoko Namikaze Point of View

"Wait out here Nyoko" Iruka commanded, then knocked on one of the doors next to the set of doors was a sign that read, 'Mission Assignments'. I sighed, as the doors opened, once again, Iruka standing there, motioning for me to walk inside.

Walking inside I saw the Hokage along with five other people I didn't know, they sat at a long table, that had papers, books and scrolls all over it. . The long table had a sign that read 'everybody do your best', I noticed above the green rug that I stood on was the kangi that read 'shinobi' printed on it. The five strangers I didn't know, each stared at me, with the familiar hatred and fear. I didn't acknowledge them. But I felt the hatred oozing off them, the same that filled most of the villagers, that made something, in me to growl. I had to assume it was the fox feeling them.

Also in the room were four people, the two of them looked at me. The first one I noticed looking at me was wearing a green jumpsuit, with strange hair and two fat, fuzzy caterpillars for eyebrows... Did he deliberately choose to look like this? He had a belt around his waist, with his leaf forehead protector on it, and a pair of orange striped leg warmers... Who was this weirdo? The other was a girl, The girl had black hair and grey eyes, he hair was up in two chinese styled buns on her head, her forehead protector around her forehead. She looked normal. On the other side of her was a fair skin and long black-haired kid, wearing beige-colored shirt, and dark brown shorts.

"Nyoko Namikaze" The Hokage introduced me, as I walked closer, standing alongside whom I assumed to be the sensei of the three shorter strangers, I looked at the Hokage, waiting for him to speak, explaining why I was here. "Nyoko, you haven't been given a team, due to you having the highest scores within your class, and your skill." He paused looking over the team of strangers that were beside me, "You'll be enhancing your skill for the time being training along with the members of team Guy; Tenten, Neji, Rock Lee and Guy sensei." I nodded, understanding, at least they were a team. "You'll train with them for the next few months."

I nodded once more, realizing I wouldn't be able to argue with him, or at least win an argument.

"You're all dismissed." He retorted. We then walked out of the room, once outside, Guy stopped, and so did his team, I however kept walking. I wanted to go train, punch a tree really hard, for like an hour.

"Nyoko" The deep weird voice of Guy said my name, I stopped walking looking back to see the sensei, looked like an older version of Rock Lee... Just with a jōnin green flak jacket that was unzipped, why did they look like that? "We will be heading to the training field, it will be a race" He was starting to get dramatic, "Let us see just how fast, you are!"He smiled, giving me a thumbs up, some how there was a gleaming shine coming off his teeth... "Nyoko Namikaze, I will pin you against my prodigy! For the sake of the youth of you both!"

"What?" How was I suppose to react to this guy? He was so weird, and I was meant to learn from him? About what?

Then Rock Lee rushed in front of me, making a fist and determined face, "I am the Handsome Devil of the Hidden Leaf Village! My name is Rock Lee." he was even more energetic than Naruto, who knew that was possible?

More like weirdo of the hidden leaf village... I nodded politely, "I'm just Nyoko Namikaze, I have no other titles."

"I've heard you are fast, I would like to race you, to test your speed compared to mine!" He went on to make a demand, "Please, race me!" his bug eyes burning brightly, with determination.

"Uh, sure" I wasn't entirely sure, what else to say, neither he or his teacher were afraid of me. They weren't treating me like the majority of the village. They were acknowledging me, as a person... What was wrong with him and Guy?

Guy then gave his thumbs up, "On your mark!" He ordered, Rock Lee, and himself getting into a place, "And go! Last one there will run around the village ten times! Ready?"

Rock Lee nodded, "Ready, Guy sensei!"

"As ready as we'll ever be" The girl Tenten stated, lining up with her weird teammates.

Neji, whom I've determined is a guy. At least from the front he looked like one. He just nodded, with a sigh.

"Go!" Guy then barked, bolting forward, with Rock Lee on his heels. I had taken back at their speed, Rock Lee was faster than Sasuke, basically going the limit I went, not using any of chakra. It was new, someone who was at my normal speed. I had to slow down every so often for Sasuke, as he didn't seem to have as much chakra, or control over it as I have. Maybe, I would be learning something with this team, at least work up some sweat.

Tenten smiled, softly "You don't need to run as fast as them, I doubt anyone could keep up with Rock Lee." She stated, as she started running forward, no where as fast as the other two, Neji ran after her, he was slightly faster than her.

I took, off at my normal speed, passing Neji and Tenten easily, as I glided over the ground as I ran, catching with Guy and ending up beside Rock Lee.

"You can keep up!" Rock Lee congratulated, "but is that as fast as you can go?" He was then picking up his speed.

I can easily go faster. I started picking up my speed, a notch allowing my chakra to flow faster, and slowly using more of my chakra reserves, focusing chakra to my legs, feet and my lungs, as Rock Lee tried to out run me. It eventually got to the point to where it felt like I was flying, off the ground, things, people and buildings were blurry.

Making it to the training ground, I stopped, leaning forward, hands on my knees, they were shaking slightly. It wasn't often that I could run so quickly, I've never needed to run so quickly. Usually, I just needed a quarter of my chakra. The last time I've used more chakra than that, was a few days ago, when I thought Naruto was in trouble. To escape Kakashi.

"You're a worthy rival, Kyoko Namikaze!" Rock Lee said, breathless, once both he caught up, I was just shocked he had caught up with me, even if it took him sometime, but he still caught up, quicker than I had expected.

Might Guy had shown up, shortly after, "May the power of youth flow through you, for years!"

They were fast, this was obvious. Here I thought Sasuke was the second fastest person within this village, it'd seem these pair of weirdos were the second and third fastest ninja within the village. Who else was fast? It then dawned on me, Itachi was fast, he was as fast as my younger self, even faster. He was the fastest ninja, he reacted faster than I could. Was he still faster than I was? Have I surpassed him? I rolled my eyes at my own internal questions, of course I haven't Itachi had his eyes, he would likely be able to copy my speed, reading my moves, even if I was moving my fastest. It was only a matter of time before Sasuke activated his own sharingan and could read my moves, that required chakra.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's Point of View

The Konoha Council walked into my office, I knew exactly what they were here for. To talk about the twins, Naruto and Nyoko, becoming ninja now.

"They are both a danger. The girl being more so." Homura retorted, "Giving her the same last name as their father, and now her becoming a ninja, it will put the village in danger, as the news of her existence, gets out."

Koharu nodded in agreement, "It was wise to give the jinchūriki differentiating names to separate them."

"Yes, and with the girl being the one with Minato's clan name, we had less risk of other villages capturing both halves of the nine tailed beasts." Homura added on, "Out of respect of our deals with Itachi, and you, we allowed the girl and boy to become ninja. Putting off the dangers, that are now going to arise."

Danzō then spoke, "The girl being in this village is a bigger threat, as other villages learn that, the Fourth Hokage has a daughter, they will learn about the boy, and the kyuubi they share. We need to deal with her now. Her being alike Minato doesn't help, the boy being alike their mother, while having her last name will, keeps his half of the kyuubi, from being sought out." I took a puff from my pipe as he went on, "we need to deal with the girl now."

I looked at the amoral Leader of the Root, "Her being alike her father is exactly what will keep her, her kyuubi safe, keeping the village safe. While having Kushina's looks Nyoko has her fathers spirit, and is as smart as him, even smarter than he was. Matching his physical prowess and chakra reserves, when he was her age. If we tell her about her father - "

"No! She would figure out the existence of her relation ship with the boy, if they both learned about their relationship, it would only be a matter of time before the nine tails would be unleashed." Homura snapped, intrrupting, "she's a threat to us just for having the Namikaze name. She, becoming a ninja will cause enough problems. Her and the Uchiha boy, both of them will cause villages becoming more intrested in this village, her being the daughter of the Yellow Flash will cause attacks. The masked man who fought to control the kyuubi, just being one threat."

Koharu then spoke up, " Mizuki, made things worse, telling Naruto that he was a jinchūriki, now he knows. How long before he realizes that he's only half of the beast? Will the beast awaken in either of them? Alluding to them being two halves of it." She paused, adding, "If he realizes he resembles the Fourth, strikingly, he'll ask questions. When Nyoko realizes she's related to the Fourth, and sees Naruto looks exactly like their father, there are so many variables."

"She's already knows Minato is her father." I informed them all, taking another puff of my pipe, seeing the shock of the elders,

"She knows? How!" Koharu demanded, in horror.

"You knew she knew? For how long!" Danzō questioned, glaring at me with his one visible eye.

"She found out the night of the Uchiha clan's death." I answered, going on to explain, "She asked Kakashi - whom found her - it'd seem Itachi did more than just kill the majority of his clan. He gave her information of her father."

"Does she know of the nine tails being within her?" Homura questioned, worried in his tone and face.

Danzō huffed in frustration, "Why did Kakashi not deny it?"

"I am unsure if she is aware of being a jinchūriki, as for Kakashi, I'm sure he had been caught off guard by the question. Wouldn't you be?" I let out a breath of smoke, "Nyoko isn't an idiot, I'm sure she'll connect the dots of why the village treats both her and her brother wrong."

"We cannot let that happen." Danzō retorted quickly, "we cannot risk it."

I looked at the old man, "If she trains, she'll grow stronger, and become an asset to the village, a remarkable Shinobi, she, and Naruto will become notable ninja, once they are fully trained."

"Or she could be a danger, learning she has the beast in her, and using her half to attack the village, and the villagers that have been fearful of her, and hate the beast within her." Danzō countered me, "Or she and the boy will connect the dots and awaken the beats they share, then we what will we do?"

I narrowed my eyes at him, "What would you suggest we do with her?"

"If it were possible, I'd suggest killing her." He answered simply, "But, with the beast being in her, we don't know what could happen if we killed her. If we kept her out of the village, that would only make it easier for other villages to get the beast."

"Nyoko, and Naruto are more than just the beasts they, Shinobi, of our village." I growled, in warning, "Nyoko, has already shown she is a skilled ninja, alike their father, she is basically him, just with her mothers looks." I then looked to the other elders, coming up with a solution, "I know what to do, to protect Nyoko, the village and keep the beast within her a secret."

Nyoko Namikaze Point of View

We had been training, I had been paired up to train against Rock Lee, who was just using Taijutsu, did he run out of chakra while racing earlier? I couldn't sense much, if any flowing through him. He must've been depleted of it all. To make it fair and easy for him, I decided to stick with Taijutsu as I fought him. He was an impressive Taijutsu user, better than anyone I knew, better than Sasuke and I, better than Itachi, I bet. He was so quick with his movement, he was obviously naturally fast, and had a hard hit. He managed to hit me once, knocking the air out of me and sending me flying backwards, I'm sure if there was a tree I would've died. I was pretty sure he was holding back as well, I was just glad I was a quick healer, otherwise I'm sure I'd be in bad shape. What was he like if he weren't holding back? He could hold my punches back, stopping me from landing any hits.

Tenten, was a weapons based ninja, she had perfect aim. She and her entire team were very capable Taijutsu fighters, Rock Lee being the best in my opinion. Neji, had his clans special eyes, the Byakugan, that increased his abilities with Taijutsu, but not as good as Rock Lee, he was faster, and stronger than his teammates, more energetic as well. He didn't even use hand seals, or Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. However, Neji was smarter than Rock Lee, and with his Hyūga skills, he was able to deflect most of Tentens weapons when she attacked, throwing them at him.

I jerked back, moving to the side as Rock Lee went for a blow to my jaw, his fist whizzing past my face, his bandaged knuckles were a blur going past my face, I could feel the force of his punch, I was glad to have dodged it. In the corner of my eye, I saw his other arm coming up at me. I ducked just in time, feeling my hair ruffle with the force of the first.

Dropping to the floor, I roll clear away from him and stood up looking at him, and proceeded to do the leaf whirlwind, lunging forward, spinning around and round housing him, but he had grabbed my leg. Good, having him be the support, I lifted my other leg off the ground, sending it to his head, he grabbed it with his other hand, as planned. I then bent my fist from under going for his jaw, however he threw me away from him, my fist barely brushing his nose. I ended up landing with my back towards him, crouching to the ground, breathing heavily, I could hear him breathing just as heavily. It was good to know I was draining his stamina as quickly as he was draining mine. I then could hear him moving.

I sidestepped, whirling around to face him, in time as he lunched. I avoided one flying fist, only for his other fist to collided with me. This blow hit my rib cage, knocking the breath out of me, I in the same instant jabbed at him, hitting his midsection. Pushing him back. As he backed off, I took a deep breath filling my lungs with air once more, I could feel the sharp and stinging sensation where he hit.

He then came at me once more, lashing out, kicking his leg out kicking me in the gut, my body seemed to react on its own, able to keep standing, without conscious or thought, I grabbed his leg, it felt heavier than it would've been, moving it to the right, and used his leg to swing him forward, sending him stumbling a bit, as I looked at him, holding my stomach, huffing and puffing. As I leaned forward resting my other hand on my stomach, where Rock Lee had kicked, three times, he's landed a hit on me.

And what was with his leg? It was heavier than it should've been, was there something to those orange leg warmers? Was he wearing weights under them? I stood up looking at him, seeing him breathing heavily, he was making his legs stronger. He was pretty fast as it was, how fast was he without them? Could he be as fast without them?

Standing up straight I moved, quickly, charging at Rock Lee like a bull, drawing my arm back. He had been caught off guard, he didn't respond quick enough, as I drove my fist into his nose, his head flying backwards, making his eyes lock onto the now violet sky, as he stumbled backwards. He didn't fall, he managed to stay standing, as he stood up, holding his nose. Oddly, he was smiling at me, even with blood seeping down passed his hand.

He held his hand, "Nicely done, Nyoko! You're stamina and your youth is remarkable!"

"Yes, now after a good workout it's time to get a well deserved meal and rest for tomorrow!" Guy retorted, "To restore your youth!" He walked over, resting a hand on Lees head, "Now Rock Lee, let us do ten laps around the village! Nyoko, Neji and Tenten, you're free to join us!"

I shook my head, "I'd love to, but I have a earlier engagement, thank you though. Next time, yeah?" I suggested. Then they both were off, running, and yelling about youth. What a weird pair, but they seemed all right. Rock Lee was definitely a rival.

"So, Nyoko, you're pretty good at Taijutsu." I looked to Tenten as she walked up, Neji doing the same looking at me through narrowed lavender eyes, "You managed to keep up and hit Lee, it doesn't happen often."

"I could say the same with him keeping up with me" I retorted, with a shrug, "It's different, usually I need to slow down, for others."

She nodded, "We could see that, on minute your behind us, the next, there is a red flash zooming past the two of us." She smiled, "It must be part of the Namikaze clan." I looked at her intently, what? I then looked to the rock face that was on the other side of the village, seeing my fathers face, was she right? Was speed apart of our clan? Were there more ninja of the Namikaze clan? No, I've never met anyone with the same last name, or seen anyone sporting the symbol of the clan, as I did on my skirt. Then I noticed how dark the sky was getting, Sasuke was probably waiting on my balcony.

I then smiled softly at Tenten, nodding, "I'd guess so, anyways I have to go. See you guys again." Waving them off I jumped to the nearest roof and used the body flicker technique, to move quickly, using my chakra to get him in an instant. I was right, he was laying on one of the chairs with an angry look on his face.

Rolling my eyes, I walked past him, going into my apartment, grabbing a salt shaker, and pulled out a small basket of tomatoes out from my small fridge. Grabbing two butter knifes, walking back out to Sasuke, whom was sitting up looking at me, as I set the salt, and the basket on the middle of the table, handing a knife over to Sasuke.

"How was the team?" I finally asked, as I plucked a tomato, peeling the skin off it.

He growled, "Terrible, our sensei was late, he had us sit on the roof to share things about ourselves. All I know about him after today, is his name is Kakashi Hatake " I looked at him, what a small world. "and two of his friends are on the Memorial Stone, that and he seems to be a way better ninja, than I would've thought."

"Reading that lame green book still?" I asked, taking a bite out of my now peeled tomato.

Sasuke looked at me, before biting into his own, "How did you know?"

"The day of well " I didn't want to mention the massacre "You know - he was the one that found me, and yeah he had that book." I didn't want to mention the time Kakashi had basically baby sat me, when Naruto was in trouble.

His eyes got darker, darker than any of his fangirls probably thought they could get. We then sat in silence, eating quietly.

That was up until a knock at my door, at the real entrance to my apartment. It was odd, the only person to ever use that door was the Hokage, and he usually didn't knock.

"Expecting someone else?" Sasuke questioned, sounding as curious as I felt. I never used the door, neither did her, we usually just used my balcony to get in and out of my apartment.

Shaking my head I got up, "at this hour? Nope." walking inside I looked through my peep-hole, seeing a ninja, with long, spiky, black hair and dark eyes, he had on a green Jōnin flask. Opening the door, I had a better look of the stranger, he had on a strip of a bandage running across the bridge of his nose. His black eyes narrowed and looked at me with a belittling look.

I narrowed my eyes at him, as he held out a small box, "Nyoko Namikaze, Lord Hokage wanted me to deliver this to you." His voice was rude.

Taking it, I then slammed the door in his face. I wasn't going to thank him for being a terrible person. I was one of him, I was a shinobi, why couldn't he be like Guy sensei?

"Slam the door why don't you, freak." I heard him say loudly through the door, hearing him walk away shortly after.

I rolled my eyes, walking to my desk, I set the small box down, opening it up, the first thing I saw was a piece of paper with a note on it;

"Let me know once you've learned the ninjutsu within this box. Have a good evening Nyoko."

Looking back into the box I saw three scrolls, pulling the purplish scroll, the label on it reading Space - Time Ninjutsu.

"Who was it? What's in the box?" Sasuke questioned.

I turned around seeing him leaning against the doorway that led to the balcony.

"Homework."
