Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Chapter 3: Wave country and Sasuke knows

"Naruko! Wake up sweetie!" Naruko snapped her eyes open as she sat up fast.

"Huh?" She thought she heard someone. She went into her living room, kitchen, and bathroom, but no one was there.

"I could've sworn I heard someone." She shakes her head but was then startled by a knock from her living room door.

"Open up dobe!" It was Sasuke. She went into her living room and open the door. Sasuke saw her dressed in her pajamas.

"*Scoff* Hurry up and get ready." He said and Naruko nodded. She went into her room to get dress as Sasuke sat down on her living room couch.

Sasuke was not in a good mood. He just found out that one of his fan-girl stole half his clothes and he got a plate of cereal in his face this morning. He also ran from his fan-girls before he got here.

"NARUTO HURRY UP!" He froze. He forgot that Naruto was a girl name Naruko.

"O-Ok." He could hear her say with a stutter.

"Damn it Sasuke! Stop being a jerk to him-her!" Sasuke thought as Naruko was back in her jumpsuit and a stupid grin that was obviously fake. He saw the look in her eyes. It was pain.

"How did I not notice this before?" Sasuke thought.

"Lets go before we are late teme!" Naruko said cheerfully. Sasuke nodded while thinking of a way to cheer her up. The two left her apartment and headed to there usually meeting spot.

Team 7 Meeting Place

"NARUTO YOU ARE LATE! Good morning Sasuke-kun." Sakura yelled at Naruko and greeted Sasuke. Sasuke bad mood increased.

"How dare she yell at her for being late when it's the both of us that were." Sasuke that, while glaring at Sakura.

"Sakura, apologize to Naruto." Sakura raised a brow.

"Why? He was late-" "NARUTO AND I WERE LATE NOT JUST HIM!" Sasuke yelled at her, breaking his calm cool act. Sakura was shaking. She didn't think her Sasuke-kun will yell at her.

"B-but-""NOW!" Sasuke was not in the mood at all.

"O-ok. S-Sorry Naruto." Sakura apologized to Naruko with venom in the word Naruto. Sasuke caught it but decided to let go. He was not in the mood to yell anymore.

"It's ok Sakura-chan!" Naruko said but Sasuke could detect the pain in her voice.

"Just what has she been through." Sasuke thought. Just then, Kakashi appeared.

"Yo!" Kakashi greeted them. He could feel Sasuke anger directed toward Sakura and Naruko nervousness. He raised an eyebrow but shrugged it off.

"Now my cute little genin how about we go get a mission today." Kakashi said with an eye-smiled.

"Ok." The three said together. All four of them headed to the Hokage tower.

4 Hours Later At The Hokage Tower

"Team 7 retrieve Tora complete." Kakashi said. After going to the Hokage, team 7 and received some mission, Team 7 came back with Tora for the sixth time today. Naruko has a happy looking Tora in her arms.

"Tora! My sweet Tora!" A woman said as she snatched Tora from Naruko. She was hugging Tora to tightly against her.

"CHA! No wonder that stupid cat always escape." Sakura thought with scratches on her face.

"..." Sasuke has no thought."How is that cat still alive?" Kakashi wonder if the cat is immortal.

"Poor kitty." Naruko gave Tora a worried look. The woman paid Hiruzen and left.

"*cough, cough,* Well let's see what we have." Hiruzen picked up a couple of papers.

"Their is walking the Inuzuka dogs, painting fences, deliveries*TORA COME BACK TO MOMMY!* *sigh* and capturing Tora again." The 3 out of the 4 members of team 7 groan. Naruko didn't mind, just as long she gets the money for the rent.

"HOKAGE-SAMA GIVE US A HIGHER MISSION!" Sakura demanded. Iruka, who was standing next to the door way, sighed.

"You just became genin. You three don't have that much field experience for a higher mission." Iruka explained but Hokage has other Ideas.

"Now, Now, Iruka. I think we could give them an easy C-rank mission that will suit them." Hiruzen picked up a C-rank scroll. "Here you go. It's an escort mission to wave. Send the client in." Iruka nodded as he left to get the client.

While he went to get the client, most of the members were happy or bored."The first time Sakura big mouth was useful!" Kakashi eye-smiled at Sakura.

"CHA! NOW SASUKE-KUN HAS TO LOVE ME!" Guess who? "Is Naruko ready for this?" Sasuke looked at Naruko.

"A C-rank. Am I ready?" She is scare in the inside, but the outside shows him grinning.

Iruka came back with an old man who was obviously drunk.

"Huh? They are going to escort me? They looked pathetic to me." The drunk said, which gave Sasuke an annoyed look, an angry look from Sakura, An eye-smile from Kakashi, and a sad look from Naruko.

"Don't worry! I am a jonin, so I can assure your safety." Kakashi reassured the drunk. "If you say so." The drunk said. "I'm bridge master Tazuna by the way." Kakashi nodded.

"We are team 7! This is Naruto*Naruko waved at him*, Sasuke*Sasuke nodded*, Sakura*Sakura glared at him*, and I am Kakashi." Kakashi introduce them to Tazuna.

"We will meet tomorrow at Konoha gate at 8 p.m." Kakashi told them as left via shushin. "I need to learn that." Sasuke thought as walked out of the mission office.

"Bye jiji!" Naruto followed after Sasuke with Sakura leaving after them. Tazuna left as well, leaving only Iruka and Hiruzen. "Hokage-sama...about the mission." Iruka started. Hiruzen and said "I know. I got a bad feeling about it." He prays for their safety.

The Next Day At Konoha Gates 10:00 pm

All three members of team 7 and Tazuna arrived at the time Kakashi told them to arrived. The only problem is that Kakashi hasn't arrived. *Poof*"Yo!" Kakashi appeared in front of them.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Sakura outburst hurt everyone ears. "Sorry! I had to stop a bird and fish from having a thousand-year war!" He lied.

"LIAR!" Again ouch! "Meh! Shall we go!" He said as he started to walk to the outside of the village gate. Everyone follows in pursuit.

Naruko was both scare and excited. She always wonder what other places are like aside from Konoha. Sasuke was smirking, hoping to face strong enemy ninja if they crossed one. Sakura was frighten but she stayed strong for her Sasuke-kun.

As they continued to walk the trail, Kakashi notice puddle and looked at the sky. "Funny. It hasn't rained in weeks." He detected a Genjutsu but instead of disabling it, he decided to test his genins.

When everyone walked away from the puddle two men appeared out of no one and wrapped their chains around Kakashi, cut his body in half. They went after Naruko who froze on the spot. Luckily, Sasuke intercept their attack and broke their chain. The two men didn't give up and was about to launch another attack until Kakashi, who actually used kawamari, stopped them.

"The demon brothers, Gozu and Meizu. Why are two missing nin of Kiri attacking my cute little genin?" Kakashi asked with an eye-smiled.

"We won't tell you." Meizu said. "Oh! You won't then." Kakashi said. He knocked them out and tied them.

"Well since they didn't comply, then I have to take action in my own hands. Luckily, Tazuna should know they attacked us." Kakashi turned to Tazuna who was sweating bullets.

"Ok! I'll tell. My country is very poor so we didn't have enough money to afford a high level mission. We barely have enough for a C-rank." Tazuna explained.

"That still doesn't explain why they attack us." Kakashi said. Tazuna nodded.

"I was getting there. I'm a bridge builder in my country. I'm trying to build a bridge so we could get more exports from other countries, but the mad man, Gato, knows if I build the bridge them it will ruin business for him." Tazuna explained.

"Gato of Gato industrys?" Kakashi asked. Tazuna nodded.

"Yes. I am sorry for deceiving you but I understand if you want to leave. I just don't want to face my family when I return. Since Gato found out, then my poor daughter Tsunami will get raped

*Naruko stiffed when Tazuna mentioned rape, Sasuke notice this and realized she was rape or was about to be raped*

and my grandson Inari will say "Ninja let my grandpa failed" and he will lay on the floor with a severed head." Tazuna said as Kakashi thought "Guilt trip." It worked on Sakura and Naruko.

"We will continue the mission." Sasuke said as Naruko nodded in agreement. Although she was nervous, she didn't want any girl or women to go to the same thing as her. Seeing how her Sasuke-kun wanted to continue she agreed as well.

"Looks like my cute little genin want to continue. You are Lucky Tazuna." Kakashi eye-smiled at him.

"Thank you very much. I promise when Gato is gone, I will pay more than what it's cost." Tazuna thanked them as they nodded. But one question was in Naruko mind.

"Aren't their ninjas in wave?" Naruko asked. Tazuna shook his head no. "Well Naruto, wave is a very small country. Unlike the five nations which have their own kages and ninja. Most small countries are either trade villages or some have their own ninja but a village leader." Kakashi explained.

"I didn't know other village's have their own kages?" Sakura asked and Kakashi sighed. "Again. She is the one with book smarts." Kakashi eye-smiled at Sakura.

"They do Sakura. But it's only the five nations that have kages. Konohagakure has the Hokage, Sunagakure has the Kazekage, Kirigakure has the Mizukage, Kumogakure has the Raikage, and Iwagakure has the Tsuchikage. Overall, all the five nations has their own Kage." Kakashi explained as Sakura made an O expression.

"Now let's get going my cute little genin and Tazuna." Kakashi finished as everyone continued walking, leaving the tied demon brothers alone.

On A Boat Wave

Sasuke was looking at Naruko like she was interesting. Naruko was fidgeting under his stare. "Someone must have raped her or she was about to be raped." Sasuke thought.

"WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT TEME?!" Naruto shouted before covering her mouth. Everyone stared at her making her blushed. Kakashi sighed.

"Naruto, please try to stay calm and Sasuke, stopped staring at Naruto." Kakashi said but in his mind he was giggling like a little schoolgirl.

"YEAH NARUTO! KEEP QUIT!" She shouted as every shush her.

"We must keep quiet or Gato men will come after us." A man who was paddling the boat said as everyone nodded.

After five minutes, they arrived on land. As they continue walking, Sakura heard rustling from the bush, so she threw a kunai at the bush.

"Hm..." Kakashi went to check the said bush and saw a white-furred rabbit. Naruko, who saw the rabbit, squealed. She took the white-furred rabbit from Kakashi and hugged the animal close to her chest. Everyone sweat-dropped.

"She really does like rabbits." Sasuke thought.

"That is very creepy to see a boy doing that." Both Sakura and Tazuna thought.

"I forgot about her rabbit obsession." Kakashi wanted to smile but noticed the rabbit fur.

"It's not winter so..." Kakashi eyes widened as he feels something coming behind them.

"GET DOWN!" Kakashi shouted grabbing Tazuna and Sakura, pulling them down. Sasuke grabbed Naruko, pulling her down.

A large buster blade hit the tree, with man standing on top of the blade. "Well if isn't Kakashi of the sharingan." The man said. "Demon of the mist, Momochi Zabuza." Kakashi narrowed his eyes.

"I didn't think Gato will send you." Kakashi looks at his three students. "Manji formation!" He ordered them as they get into the said formation.

"Sharingan? But how?" Sasuke thought. He saw Kakashi raised his headband to revealed the Sharingan. "?" Sasuke eyes widened when he saw the Sharingan.

"Well let's get started." Kakashi said. Zabuza disappeared with the buster sword; known as Kubikiribōchō.

(An: I am sorry but this part was to stressful to right since it's basically the same thing as the anime/manga. This is the only I might do this. You could flame me if you want.)

Tazuna Home

"Are you ok sensei?" A worried Naruko asked. After the battle, a hunter nin intercepted and killed Zabuza.

"I'm fine Naruto." Kakashi reassured her. Naruko, Sasuke, Sakura, and Tazuna were in the room, waiting for him to awake. Kakashi eyes then widened.

"Zabuza is still alive!" Everyone are shocked by his outburst. "Are you sure sensei, I mean. That hunter-nin did kill him." Sakura said. Kakashi shook his head no.

"Hunter-nin are suppose to dispose the body on sight. Doesn't really matter who are watching, they are trained to dispose it on sight. They only need the head for proof." Kakashi gave them an upside down eye-smiled.

"Plus, the hunter-nin used senbon needles. Senbon needles does not kill the target but it puts them into death-state for a while." Kakashi explained.

Sasuke felt excitement inside. He froze during the battle when their sensei was caught in the water prison Jutsu. Naruko felt more nervous. She couldn't really face them a second time. The first time was hard enough for her. Sakura was downright scare. No explanation needed.

"Well then! I need to train you three to be ready for the next match." He said as he try to get up but failed. "Sensei you need your rest." Naruko lead Kakashi back on his back.

"Ok. But tomorrow, we will go train in the woods for a while." Kakashi said as he drifted into sleep.

"Well since your sensei is asleep, how about you three take a look around town." Tazuna said. "No thank you. I'm tired so I'm going to take a rest." Sakura left the three.

"Sure Tazuna-san!" Naruko likes to explore many places and a new village will be fun for her

In The Village Of Wave

Naruko and Sasuke were walking around the village and was sadden at the sight of the buildings torn down and most people were sleeping in the street.

"Hey Naruko." Naruko turn to Sasuke. "What is it?" She asked.

"Were you raped?" Sasuke straight up asked. Naruko stopped walking. She wonder how Sasuke could say that without a second thought and she wonder if she should tell him.

"...um...what makes you...ask that?" Naruko paused 3 times.

"Back when Tazuna mention something about rape, I saw your whole body stiffened and flash of pain in your eyes." Naruko stayed silent. Her being silent gave Sasuke an answer.

"Naruko..." He could see tears streaming down her face. "Sorry..." She ran off. Sasuke felt guilty. He didn't know what made him ask her that but he needed to know. He ran after her, to apologize for asking her a personal question. But he lost her. "I forgot Naruko is a very fast runner." Sasuke mentally groan and begin to search for Naruko.

Some Parts In The Woods

Naruko didn't know how she ended up here, but she ran from Sasuke. To avoid something from her past. She was henged to what she might look like when she return to her female form. She sat in front of a lake, watching the scenery. She close her eyes and let the wind blow her face. She always likes the wind. Mostly the gentle breeze. "Hm..." She hummed her favorite turn. She didn't know where she heard it from but she could here words in her mind.

Don't cry, just smile till tonight

Just smile till its bright

Live life till its right

Sasuke, who arrived to hear her sing. He was hiding behind a tree and just hid there, until she is finish singing.

I know its hard that we are not there but please don't be scared

You are strong so don't wrong

Just become who you are

Be brave no matter what

Because you are tough

Sasuke started to walked to Naruko.

Don't worry, we will see each other once again

When are souls are bend

I know its hard we are not there but please don't despaired

Just remember that we care

Sasuke kneeled behind Naruko, making sure she didn't notice.

Don't cry, just smile till tonight

Just smile till it's bright

Just remember that we care

Naruko stiffened when she felt a paired of arms wrapped around her.

"That was a nice song. Where did you heard it from?" Naruko looked behind her and saw it was Sasuke giving her a true smile.

"I-I d-don't re-remember." Naruko said with a tint of pink on her cheeks. She really doesn't get hugs unless it's from the Sandaime and Itachi.

"Well it was nice and your voice is very beautiful." Sasuke said as Naruko face became red.

"Th-Thank you." She thanked him and he chuckled. The two broke the hug and stood up. Sasuke remembered why he went to find Naruko.

"Naruko, I want to apologize for asking such a personal question." Sasuke apologized. Naruko shook her head and sat down. She motioned Sasuke to sit as well, so he did. They sat there for minute and enjoy each other company's.

"Sasuke..." Naruko started. "I was...raped." Naruko said with a sad smiled. Sasuke eyes widened.

"Naruko you don't have to tell me." Sasuke quickly said, but she ignored him.

"I was about five years old when I was raped, during that time I didn't what rape was until jiji explained to me." Sasuke continued to protest but Naruko continues ignore him.

"After I woke up, I told jiji that I deserved it, because I thought I did something bad." Naruko started to cry. Sasuke was pissed. "Who raped you?" Sasuke asked/demanded.

"A couple of drunk villagers." She said and Sasuke became more pissed. "Why will they do that to you?" He calmly asked. He clenched his fist. He notice her stiffened again.

"I don't know if I should tell you." Naruko looked away.

"But why?" He asked. "Because this is something I really don't want anyone to know. At least not yet." Sasuke sighed. "All right, but promise to tell me one day." Sasuke said and Naruko nodded.

"I promised." Naruko said. Sasuke got up and helped Naruko up as well.

"Lets head back to Tazuna." He said as Naruko nodded. They left the area, not noticing they were holding hands as well.

The Next Day

Team 7 were in the woods with Kakashi, who was using crutches.

"Now that mine cute little genin is here. We are now going to climb trees!" Kakashi eye-smiled at the confused genins.

"But sensei, we know how to climb trees." Sakura said but Kakashi still eye-smiled.

"Nope! This practically tree climbing exercise involve no hands." He still noticed the confused look on their faces.

"We are using our feet." He bluntly said. "But how?" Sakura asked. Kakashi eye-smiled at her question.

"Just put some Chakra below your feet and then walk on the tree." Kakashi simply said. Three nodded and did what they're instructed to do.

After a while, Sasuke was falling down, Naruko was able to get half up before falling herself, Sakura was the only one who made to the top.

"Well done Sakura!" Kakashi yelled. Sakura stuck her tongue out.

"Come back down." Sakura walked back with a big smile plastered on her face. "Congratulations Sakura." Naruko congratulate Sakura, who said thank you.

"..." Sasuke just continued the exercise. "CHA! Don't worry! Our Sasuke-kun will notice us soon enough!" Inner Sakura said.

"Well since you complete the exercise, you have the privilege to join me in guard duty." Kakashi cheerfully said. Sakura nodded and went to the bridge. Kakashi looked at Naruko and Sasuke.

"Keep doing this until you are at the top or ran out of chakra. Oh! Sasuke don't try anything funny." Kakashi left the confused Naruko and the blushing Sasuke.

"What does he mean?" Naruko asked Sasuke. "Forget about it." Sasuke said. The two continued tree walking for about an hour. Naruko was able to get to the top.

"I did it! I did it! I did it!" She was jumping up and down. She then trip and was falling to the ground.

"AHHHH!" She screamed. Sasuke saw her falling and walked up high enough on the tree to jump and catch Naruko.

Naruko has her eyes closed the time she was falling. She did not open them till she felt someone arms. She saw Sasuke face and realized he was carrying her bridal style. She blushed but snuggle close to him. She didn't realize she went into female form. Sasuke landed on the ground and put Naruko down.

"Thanks." She thank him for saving. "No problem. You are like a sister to me. I'll gladly save you." Sasuke smiled at her. Naruko froze. Those words he said. "

No problem. You are like a sister to me. I'll gladly save you." Itachi told her those exact words.

"Thank you Sasuke-nii." Naruko said with a smile that made him blush. "Damn! Why did I tell her that?" Sasuke thought. Unknown to them, Kakashi was behind a bush giggling madly. After that, they spend the day tree climbing.

Tazuna House

After a long day of training(for Naruko and Sasuke of course)team 7 are now eating dinner with Tazuna family. "Tsunami-san this is delicious"! Naruko cheered.

"Why thank you Naruto-san."Tsunami thanked Naruko.

Tsunami son; Inari. Stood up and glared at Naruko.

"Why are you happy? You're all just going die." Inari said. "INARI!" Tsunami shouted. Inari left the dining room. Tsunami sighed. She explained the reason for her son behavior.

Sakura was crying her eyes out, Kakashi and Sasuke has sad looks in their eyes. Naruko frowned. "I wish he could come back as a happy boy, but until Gato is gone..." Sasuke slams his hand on the table, which surprised the members of team 7.

"Tsunami-san. As a Uchiha, I promised to get rid of Gato and his goons and free this town from his reign of terror." Sasuke stated surprising Kakashi, Sakura and Naruko.

"I guess spending time with Naruko changed him a little." Kakashi thought feeling pride in his student. "Sasuke-kun is so cool!" Was Sakura thought.

"Sasuke..." Naruko gave a small smile. "This is not how a Uchiha is supposed to act! So why I am acting this way." Sasuke thought but smiled.

"Thank you Sasuke-san." Tsunami thanked Sasuke, who nodded.

The Next Day

Naruko was walking around helping the villagers. "So many innocents people poor because of Gato." Naruko thought with a frown.

"Naruko." She turned to see Sasuke running after her. She waved at him with a smile.

"I told you to wait for me." Naruko pouted. "But you took so long." Naruko said.

"*sigh* I guess you're right." Sasuke chuckled a little. Naruko noticed and gasp.

"You laughed!" She pointed at him. "Naruko. You're annoying." Sasuke was then glomp by Naruko from the behind.

"Get off me dobe!" Sasuke tried to shake Naruko off. Key word: tried.

"Nope!" She laughed at Sasuke. "I am a Uchiha. I can't be beaten by a girl in a henge." Sasuke thought, but gave up.

"YAY! Piggy back ride!" Naruko shouted. "This embarrassing." Sasuke thought, albeit he smiled.

"But I am glad she isn't depressed anymore. No matter what Naruko I will always protect you." He is proud of himself for making that promise.

"A promised of a life time." He headed the direction of Tazuna home, still carrying a happy Naruko on his back.

An: That is all. Sorry it's not good but I haven't been on here for awhile. I'll try to make it up in the next chapter. Also, sorry for not giving you the fight scene. I had an idea how I went it to go but I lost it and could've think of another so flame me if you want. Bye.
