Me: hello again!!!

Hiruma: she was too busy and stuff like that…..

Me: hey! I was too busy kay? Don't blame me when I didn't do ANYTHING!

Hiruma: see? Exactly!

Gaara: she does not own anything except the made up things she made and….yea….

Naruto: let's start the story!

Chapter 3: Secrets to Be Known?

Ichiri was groaning with frustration. Her idiotic brother won't stop talking and chatting with her long time friend, Gaara. He too was getting annoyed by the stupid blonde's mouth moving and moving and-you get the point right?

"I think you need to shut the hell up brat. You're getting on my nerves!" Ichiri growled warningly towards him. He turned to look at her with a frown on his face. Surely she didn't mean that right? He had winced as he stared at the evil face of his One-sama. Naruto sighed and decided to leave her alone and Gaara.

Ichiri was pissed off as it is already and wants to leave this damn fucking place by now! "I'm gonna train by myself. Enjoy yourselves 'kay?" she said dully and stood up with a half-eaten ramen bowl in front of her. Oh my god, Ichiri didn't complete her food; the world is dying NOOOO- ahem. Anyways as she left the Ichiraku ramen stand, Naruto was completely stunned at her impulsive leaving.

He was in sulking mode now. 'She left me and never says she was sorry about her sudden departure! Why did she change? What made her want to leave the village?' he had thought about asking earlier, but didn't get a chance to have a chat with his long lost sister.

Gaara was just shocked at the scene before him. Naruto's sister yelled at him and ignores him? That is something you never seen before. Gaara decided to comfort the sad blonde boy. "Don't worry Naruto, she'll be back sooner or later, I hope…." He murmured lowly. Naruto nodded and went back to grinning mode. He then asked Gaara, "How did ya managed to be Hokage?" he asked oh so curiously. Gaara blinked at the sudden change of mood then sighed, "I have too many paper work and my older siblings left me there to do all the freaking work. It was rather too tedious, but I kind of had fun once in a while you know?" he smiled at the astonished guy.

"Wow I just noticed something…"

"What?"

"You have become incredibly different!"

"Really?" he had raised his brow towards the now amazed Naruto. Naruto then exclaimed out, "HELL YEAH!!! You're more chatty and nicer ya know?" He grinned broadly and laughed a little. Gaara was surprised by his judgment about him. He by no means noticed about himself like that before…... "I….really acted liked that?" He pointed at himself questionly.

Naruto nodded yes but then frowned when he saw a livid gang of chuunin and jounin glaring at him. They look like they were ready to smother the poor boy. He blinked and asked, "Why are ya'll here? Did ya'll finish the dumbass conference yet?" He said casually. They glared harder and Sakura hissed, "Where did Ichiri go? We all have to talk!"

"Not me!"

"SHUT UP! YOU'RE GOING TOO LEE!"

"Why won't you, ya cherry mane petite ogre!"

Everybody gasped and turned their heads to see a fuming girl with her eyes overflowing with exasperation and resentment. She was really pissed off and moderately not ready to deal more tragedy and more frustrations in her life right now. "Fuck off, I'm not in the mood to listen to you're idiotic yelling and useless pity…" Haruna severely frowned and didn't want to sense like she was a hampered.

Ichiri then saw the sorrowful look Haruna had on her face right now. She twitched as she felt her guiltiness is building up already. "Look, I meant to say that I need some space and some air to breath in, 'kay?" they all nodded except Sakura, who is still wanting to talk with Ichiri. Naruto asked, "How come ya didn't tell me ya have a demon in ya?" everybody also looked at her, even Lee, TenTen, and Neji required her to answer, even though by now, they knew it.

Ichiri frowned and sighed, "I was terrified yall won't like me any longer, because of it, ya know?" Kiba chuckled and said, "No wonder my folks like ya so much, Ichi-Sama." The light joke seems to lighten the mood around them, making everyone else cackle along too. Kiba then said, "Seriously, do you think we would act like that around you? Why would you think like that?" Hinata decided to hug her, "We're friends no matter what, right guys?" "HAI!!!" ((Me: woot cheesy moment here! Lol))

Ichiri couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Wow, to think that I was afraid, ne?" Haruna smiled widely. 'She's back to normal again, I'm so happy, that I could squeeze her to death!' Ichiri was then compelling into a bone overwhelming hug, yet once more…….

"WOAH, TAKE IT EASY!!!!!!"

The ninjas all laughed again like good old times.

In the tower….

Tsunade was happy and joyful the kids were reunited, and friends again, especially Haruna and Ichiri, they had reopened their friendship and established the team once again. She chuckled as Jiraiya then asked, "What's so funny?" Tsunade smiled once again, "She reminds me of someone….." Jiraiya stared and asked, "Eh? Who is it she reminds you of?" Tsunade shooked her head and rubbed her temple, 'How dense is this baka?' "Never mind, anyways have you heard of anything from the Sounds during you're so called training and such?" He nodded intensely and said, "I heard that Orochimaru plans to capture the juuninshi's."

Tsunade groaned once more and said, "Doesn't he ever give up? What is he exactly doing, Jiraiya?"

"He plans to destroy the seal, and morph the demons together to create the Unknown Being." Kakashi and Shizune both gasped, as she fainted once more. ((Me: I don't hate her, its just I needed some humor in here lol!))

Everybody ignored unfortunate Shizune, as they continued their conversation, a nosy team of chuunin and jounin, also Naruto, Ichiri and someway Gaara was dragged captivated on this.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Other side of door….

The kids crowded around the door putting their ear on it to listen. Ichiri was on top of Kiba and Lee, as their limbs have intertwined to each other, as TenTen was then on the wall, hoping to listen onto the conversation too. Naruto was sitting next to a concentrated Gaara, as an Eyeball sand was in the room, with Hinata standing along side with Neji, both using Byakugan. Ino and Sakura were then both tried their best to hear what they were saying, while standing on Akamaru. Shikamaru was very keen to vibrations, as Temari also was very quite good at vibrations sent by the room. Chouji, well let's just say he was doing nothing and sitting on the ground, munching on his chips. Haruna was using her invisible jutsu to be in the room, not being noticed at all.

The talking was very solemn, and Ichiri had a bad feeling about this, "Hey guys, I heard they said Orochimaru's name…!" Kiba said, and then everybody shushed him, "SH!!!!" Ichiri whispered, "I think they said something about Unknown Being……whatever that is…." Sakura's eyes opened wide and gasped loudly, making Ino fall backwards, startled by the sound, tipping over on Lee's hand, as he yelped with Kiba being shoved and Ichiri collapsed on them. Temari was pushed harshly by TenTen, because of Lee's foot accidentally kicked her butt, which cause Shikamaru to topple down as well. Hinata, Neji Gaara, and Naruto were all staring at the other group, who had felled down and hurt themselves. The conversation stopped as Lee was about to sneeze, with everybody holding his nose to keep him from making other noises. Ichiri froze as footsteps were coming towards the noisy group.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Normal Pov.

The door opened wide and a furious Hokage was looking down at them, "What the hell are you all snooping around my place?" They were stiff and frightened at the old woman's face, as Jiraiya sighed, "Might as well tell them, Tsunade…." She also sighed and said, "Get up and come in kids." The group all stood up, brushed their selves the dust away, and walked behind the Hokage.

Haruna, who was now visible, was sitting next to a sleeping Shizune.

Tsunade sat in front of her desk with her hands crossed each other with a grim look on her face, "You may have known that around this year, Sasuke will be 'turned', right?" Everybody gravely nodded, as Sakura and Naruto hide their faces not wanting to show sorrow and sadness on their faces.

Ichiri broke the sad looks and said, "Go on, continue the explanations please." Jiraiya said, "Well, while you were sleeping Ichiri, I head to a bar-" "Which doesn't surprise me….." She raised a brow at him as he glared at her, "Anyways, as I was saying….I had went to the bar to hear rumors, and others talk for a price….." he coughed and blushed deeply red, as Ichiri choked on her water and gasped for air.

Others gagged and made a nasty noise as Tsunade's right brow twitched and hissed, "Get to the point ya old pervert!" He coughed again and turned to serious mode, "As I was saying, I asked many people in there if they had seen Orochimaru, but instead o an answer they gave me a riddle,

He has been made

A monster in him

Yet captured and tortured

The ones possessed

Will too be killed

What being it must be?

That's all that little girl had said, and disappeared with nothing left behind. Strange girl she is, ain't she?"

Ichiri frowned trying to decipher the meaning of the riddle then widened her eyes, "He's going to capture me and Naruto and Gaara?!" Naruto shivered and closed his eyes, he's really afraid of Orochimaru now, since he has Sasuke on his side, and he had over ten countries on his side.

Tsunade stood up and said loudly and clearly, "I want you all to prepare yourselves for the worst!" She banged the table with her fists, which cause it to crumble before the other shinobi's. Gaara held out the peace treaty to Tsunade, "I had made peace with other larger lands, even the Land Of The Mist!" She smirked at him and nodded at Gaara, "Good, we will need to prepare ourselves for the most evil; this might be the Fourth Great War!" The tensed Ichiri decided to hug her little brother and whispered to him, "It's okay; you were trained by Oba-Chan ne?"

Naruto nodded and grinned widely, "Yeah, I sure did One-Sama!" They both gave each other the usual grin and as they did, Kakashi coughed to get the others attention. The others looked at him with a 'what the hell you want' stare. "I'm pretty confident that you all have mastered the basic's right? Ok then, I'm going to gather up specialists from all over the countries to educate you all to the exceedingly preeminent."

Chouji chewed on his chip remarkably slow now, "How do we know which one is our trainer?"

Shikamaru also asked, "Yeah, how do we know if they'll help us in anyway?!"

"YEAH, why should we?!!!!" Kiba and Lee yelled with caution and in conformity.

Kakashi was about to oppose, but Jiraiya detained him, "You all think they will deceive us, like Orochimaru and that kid Sasuke?" He asked with a decayed face. The children looked at each other wondering what they just said was immoral?

Sakura frowned and said, "Well we don't even know these people that's why we can't trust them immediately…right?" He sighed and said, "If that's what you all think then I won't make ya trust them then….." He said in a formal and abnormal way, "Hey, ya here that guys? The teenagers don't trust ya!" The door opened to reveal a dark black hair woman, wearing a formal kimono and a fan was being carried by her side. Her hair was tied up in a pony tail, as another woman came behind her with long bangs and short hair behind her, wearing a short kimono that is white and red, with her katana on her back, and her piercing eyes was shadowy and vicious. Then, a blonde man with a cape, and a muscular shaped chest, with a built body and a young handsome face, his sword was also on is back, with its long and large formed weaponry, as his piercing blue gaze was shown in his eyes. He had a strange necklaces and jewelry around his neck, as his scarf covered his mouth to his nose. As he went to stand next to the ladies, a youthful guy, about Ichiri's and Temari's age was wearing armory and a red cloak around his built body, as his raven dark hair were making his tanned face exposed his bright demon like red eyes, as he grinned at them and yelled, "Wassup?!" he had a broken chain on his neck, dangling from his neck, and his sword was in his left hand, which his hand had a weird looking claw-like gloves, as his right arm is bandaged with a seal being covered(through Hinata's and Neji's eyes).

Ichiri was actually surprised by their unexpected appearance and fashion.

Tsunade smiled and said, "Shall we begin our introduction? This is Hiruya Ishida," She pointed to the pony-haired woman, who also smiled and bowed politely to them, "Nice to be meeting all of you!" So far, Ichiri thinks that woman is trustworthy, "Next up is Ryuu Tasaki!" The vicious girl was then staring at them and said, "I rather not say anything about this group…." Ichiri's and Naruto's eye twitched. 'It's just like she was mocking us or something', they both thought.

Kakashi shooked his head at Ryuu's rude talk.

Tsunade sighed and said, "Thirdly, we have Kiro Tasaki," He silently nodded and said, "Hello there….." He was very mysterious and very gloomy looking, better looking than his vulgar obnoxious sister! Ichiri glared at Ryuu, who is returning the favor with the same look. Naruto waited for the next person to talk, which is what Jiraiya is going to do, "This is my nephew, Toshiro Kuroskushi!" The so-called Toshiro grinned and said, "Hey there, the names Toshiro and I like big-boobed ladies!", as he earned a smack by Ryuu, who is now red and fuming. Kiro shooked his head at the fight in front of him, however Naruto found it quite amusing.

Tsunade yelled loudly, "ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The people stared at the furious Hokage, and decided to listen and be silent.

She sighed and said, "The training will begin tomorrow morning and you all will be assigned by drawing a number here….." She took out a hat, full of papers with numbers in it. "Hiruya will be number 1, Ryuu is 2, Kiro is 3, and lastly, Toshiro is 4." Everybody picked a number as they all had some relief faces, Ichiri yelled, "NANI!!!!!?!!?!?!?!? I HAVE THIS GIRL????????!!!!!!!!!" She pointed at the bored Ryuu, who is now thinking like it was the end of the world too.

Gaara rubbed his head, "This is going to be a long year of training….."

Naruto nodded, "Yes…it will…." As the fight was between the girls in front of him, causing more chaos, as Shizune woke up again moaning out loud, "What hap-EYAHHHH!!!!" She fainted again as a hot guy was in front of her, staring at her as if she was weird.

Me: so what do ya think?

Gaara: Causing more chaos…..

Ryuu: I hate you!

Ichiri: me too!

Me: Eh….well BYES AND REVIEW PLEASE!!!!
