"Naruko," Gaara says looking at her, "you have a letter."
"Thanks," Naruko reads it, "an invitation to come to the Chunnin exams, hm."
"Are you going to go?"
"We need to show people how strong we are anyway, I will get team nine ready and we will leave immediately."
"And who is going to run the village wail you are gone?"
"You are Gaara," Naruko says, "I am counting on you," she vanishes.
"Wait what?" But Naruko is already gone.
"Team nine," Naruko says looking at her team, "Ren Aoki, Isamu Hashimoto, and Daisuke Uchiha, do you accept the roles of representing our village in the Chunnin exams?"
"Yes," they all say together.
"Good, pack up, we leave now," They all vanish.
"You are getting a little ahead of yourself aren't you?" Pain asks.
"Nope, we are going weather you like it or not Aniki," she says smiling.
"You are taking Akatsuki with you to guard you."
"No."
"At least two members."
"No, I am going with team nine and Gaara and that is it," Naruko says, "see you in a few months."
Naruko sees Garra at the gates, "what took you so long?"
"I had to talk to my brother," Naruko says, "so who is watching the village?"
"Itachi and Obito, with any luck they will kill each other before we come back."
They go to Konoha, "stop, name and identification!" the guard says.
"Garra Sabaku," he shows the man his passport.
"Ren Aoki," she holds out her passport.
"Isamu Hashimoto," he holds out his passport and flips him off at the same time.
"Daisuke Uchiha," he holds out the passport.
"Naruko Uzumaki – Namikaze," she shows him the passport, "we are here for the Chunnin exams."
The man lets them in, "when did you start hyphening your name?"
"I just wanted to honor my dad wail I am here," she says and they walk around, "sand should be here too."
"Put him down," they hear a girl scream.
They all see Kankuro holding Konohamaru in the air, "put him down Kankuro," Gaara says.
"Gggaaaaarra," Kankuro stutters and drops him.
"Ren make sure he isn't hurt," Naruko says and Ren goes to Konohamaru, "so you like picking on kids Kankuro?"
"Thanks for helping me," Konohamaru says.
"Thank you," his friends say but the girl with them is silent and look shocked.
"Leave," Naruko says and the sand siblings leave, Kankuro and Temari.
"Who are you," Sakura asks looking at Naruko.
"You really do have cruddy memory Sakura, but I am Naruko, don't you remember me from the park?"
"N-naruko," she says shocked.
"He is ok, but he won't stop blushing," Ren says.
"Ok, well it was nice seeing you again," Naruko says and they all walk away.
"Wait," Sakura chases after them.
"Did you want something?" Naruko asks.
"She looks stupid," Isamu says, "Naruko – sensei, can we go now?"
"Be patient, they must be old friends or something, remember Naruko – sensei is originally from Konoha," Daisuke says.
Sakura smacks Naruko, "why did you leave?!"
Naruko holds her check surprised, Gaara, Isamu, and Daisuke looked irritated. Ren walks to Sakura, "why did you hit my sensei Sakura – san?"
"Ren, it is ok," Naruko pats her head, "it doesn't hurt too much. That was a very nick greeting Sakura, so where is everyone else?"
"You expect me to tell you anything you traitor?!"
Gaara looks at her, "she isn't a traitor you…"
Naruko puts her arm out, "it was just a question Sakura, and you don't need to be rude. Thank you for your time, team nine, let's go."
"You are their teacher, a dead last like you?!"
"Yes I am Sakura, the 'dead last' as you like to call me, is already a Jonin," Naruko says and they leave.
"I will sacrifice her to Jashin if you want me to Naruko – sensei," Isamu says and hold up his scythe.
"No thanks, we don't need to start a war." Naruko bumps into a white haired ninja with his face buried in his book.
"Sorry," Kakashi says, "Naruko, what are you doing here?!"
"Hello Kakashi, we came here for the Chunnin exams."
Kakashi nods and looks to see three boys glaring at him, "Rin."
"It is actually Ren," she says smiling at him, "Naruko – sensei, what is Icha Icha Paradise?"
Naruko looks flushed, "you don't need to know."
Isamu smiles, "it is a book for adults."
"I have seen my dad reading it a few times," Daisuke says.
"Yeah, he got it from my brother," she sighs, "It was nice seeing you again," they leave.
"Naruko – sensei," Daisuke says, "why does he have a sharingan?"
"He got it from Obito as a gift before he 'died'."
So that is why his mask has one eye hole, but he has two eyes, "ok," Daisuke says and they all get settled in.
Someone knocks on the door, Konoha Anbu, "Naruko Uzumaki," the man in the bird mask says looking at her passed Gaara.
"Yes," she walks to the door.
"The hokage wishes to talk to you," Naruko nods, "just you."
"I will be back in a few minutes," she leaves with them.
"We brought her," they say and then leave.
"Hello Hokage – Dono," Naruko says.
"Hello Naruko," the third says.
"How rude," she says, "you should call me by my title too, Hokage – Dono," she says teasingly.
"My apologize Kitkage – chan."
"Why did you ask for me alone Hokage – Dono?"
"I wanted to talk to you about your earlier disappears," he says, "when you were kidnapped by that traitorous brother of yours…."
"Nagato isn't a traitor, he did what he felt was best for us, I am happy he took me away from her when he did! DO you realize how many death threats I got each day, how many mobs chased me day and night? How lonely and afraid I was every day and night because one thought would go through my head when I was alone or in a crowd, 'when are they going to come today, where are they going to come from, how will they try to kill me this time, should I even leave the house today?!' You don't know how badly I would pray that someone would save me from my worries!"
"Naruko, I never thought it was that bad, you always smiled and…." He remembers reading some of the letters Kakashi would bring him.
"When I was taken by my brother, I didn't have to look over my shoulder very second of the day, I didn't have to worry about someone trying to kill me for being a jinchūriki!"
"You knew," he gasps, "Naruko I…"
"Do you know what it feels like to be scared, to be alone in your own home?! Do you?!"
"N-no," he says, "Naruko I never knew you were suffering so much."
"No one did, except for the people who wanted me to suffer," Naruko says crossing her arms, "so I will ask you again, why did you ask me here Hokage – Dono, why did you invite me to come here to watch the Chunnin exams with you, my village doesn't like people like you. Clueless leaders who don't even know what are going on with their villagers, a figure head for their council to lead around like a dog."
The third is shocked, "Naruko – sensei, you don't need to rip his head off," Daisuke says walking in.
"Even though he does deserve it," Isamu says.
"We are here for moral support!" Ren says and they sit in the corner of the room together.
"Go back to the hotel before Gaara comes looking for you three!"
"NO," they all say together.
Naruko sighs, "This is my team, Ren, Isamu, and Daisuke. Team nine, this is the Hokage. Now why did you invite us here?"
"To try to strengthen our village's relationship, sending one of our ninjas to your door was rude," he says still looking at team nine.
"They are at a high chunnin level so they will be fine in the exams," Naruko says, "in my village you can't graduate school unless you are at a chunnin level first. The Genin level students go missions with the school keeping a watchful eye on them."
He nods, "I hope you enjoy your stay in Konoha."
"Probably not but thanks for the words," she leaves and team nine stares at the Hokage.
"Is something wrong?"
"If you try to hurt our teacher," Ren starts.
"We will not," Daisuke activates his sharingan.
"Show you any mercy when we," Isamu says holding his scythe out.
"KILL YOU," they say together then leave.
Naruko walks back in, "you look like you saw a ghost," she grabs her jacket, "I can't forget this," she leaves. "You three made him look like he is about to have a heart attack, what did you tell him?"
"Not to mess with us ninjas from Jinchūriki," Ren says smiling.
