"They're almost done." Tsunade told Koyuki once she arrived again on the training grounds. Koyuki watched her teammates with a smirk as she watched how they had made Kakashi use his sharingan and even put away his book.

He's actually getting a run for his money. She thought with amusement.

"Hey Kakashi-sensei, the book I just gave you...I know how it ends."

"Book?" she asked herself and then got it when Kakashi's eyes widened in terror. She looked over at Jaraiya and he nodded.

"Naruto gave his my newest edition, the original copy of course." Koyuki rolled her eyes and continued watching as Naruto and Sakura jumped towards Kakashi who was no covering his ears. Kakashi realized that because of his Sharingan he could also read Naruto's lips.

The main character is actually-

NO! He closed his eyes and that was it. When he opened them and took his hands away from his ears he saw them smiling triumphantly and holding a bell each.

"Hehehe" Naruto chuckled throwing the bell up and down. "Gotcha Kakashi-sensei. I never really read till the end, only the first ten pages. It was extremely boring."

He's defidently not denying he read porn. Thought Koyuki with a sigh. She looked towards Tsunade and she nodded towards team seven to which she took as a green light and she smirked under her mask. She disappear in a swirl of black petals just when Naruto threw the bell a little too high. Naruto closed his fist the moment he expected the bell to land but he closed his hand on air and he snapped his head towards his hand and sure enough it was empty.

"What the hell? Where did my bell go?"

"The timer hasn't rang yet Naruto. And if you don't get it in time you don't get to eat breakfast." Kakashi answered with a smile.

Naruto pointed at Kakashi accusingly but the jonnin shook his head. Sakura covered her mouth with one of her hands to stop herself from giggling but Kakashi saw her.

"I wouldn't be laughing Sakura your bell is gone too." Sakura looked at her sensei questioningly and when she checked her hand her own bell was gone.

"Hey!" There was the sound of air being cut followed by a tak as two kunais whistled past them and embedded themselves on the tree behind Kakashi. The looked behind them and saw an anbu with long silver hair tied up in a high ponytail standing on a thick branch ten feet of the ground, and in her hands were the bells.

"Hey what gives!" Naruto protested and the anbu simply jingled the bells at them.

"She is you next test. Get the bells from her and you pass." Kakashi said brightly and his students proceeded to yell at him.

"YOU NEVER MENTIONED THAT!" They yelled but obeyed all the same and attacked the anbu by throwing ninja stars and she took out her katana and blocked. A clone appeared behind her but she quickly turned her katana and stabbed him without even looking and the clone disappeared. Not a second later more kunais soared to her and she simply let herself fall backwards off the branch. Naruto appeared in front of her and aimed a kick but she blocked it by grabbing his ankle and Sakura attacked from behind but was unable to stop as the anbu twisted in mid air and threw Naruto at Sakura and both ninjas collided hard against each other. The anbu back flipped and landed on all fours like a cat while the other two fell hard on the dirt.

"Oh and I forgot to mention." Kakashi said as he took out his book and began to read. "You have to figure out the identity of the anbu."

Sakura responded by throwing two stars at him but he caught them with two fingers. When she looked to the anbu she saw the anbu stand up and quickly place her hair in a bun and Sakura mentally cursed.

So much for using her hair against her. Then she began thinking as she tried to untangle herself from Naruto. Okay so obviously we know her other wise there would have been no use in making us guess her identity. It can't be Ino her hair isn't that light and she's nowhere near the anbu level yet. Ten-Ten's hair isn't like that...but any girl I think of can easily do a transformation jutsu.

"You're thinking too much Sakura-chan." Naruto said and Sakura tilted her head at him who looked like he was thinking as well. "We just need to analyze her in body language and attitude and take off her mask. Watch."

Naruto ran straight towards her and when he was close enough and saw her get ready to defend he made six shadow clones appear last second and the grabbed her by the legs, and arms.

"See?" he said as he reached for the mask but her clones attack the others and when they let her go she kicked up and her foot connected with Naruto's jaw and sent him flying.

He landed at Sakura's feet and she rolled her eyes.

"It's obvious it's not going to be that easy Naruto we have to completely pin her down." With that Sakura pulled his up and they ran towards her again. This time the anbu didn't wait and grabbed her katana and ran towards both of them. Naruto dodge the blade and Sakura aimed a punch as she too dodged. The anbu ducked and swung her leg in a roundhouse kick and got Sakura on the side while simultaneously using the flat side of her blade to hit Naruto on his ribs. Sakura and Naruto twisted and fell on the ground while the anbu quickly threw a five shuriken with chains attached and they wrapped both ninja's and embedded in to the tree next to them. Then she aimed five kunais and got them exactly in the holes that were in the middle of the shuriken, making them shrink even deeper. Before Naruto or Sakura could even move the timer rang out loudly.

"Times up." the anbu whispered.

"I don't understand why I have to be tied up too." whined Kakashi as the anbu finished tying the knot.

"A bet is a bet Kakashi." the anbu said through the mask. "You lost the bells and I beat them." then she walked over to Naruto bend down to his eyes level and jingled the bell in front of him. Since all three ninjas were too tall for the stumps they had been forced to sit on the ground and be tied up.

"Looks like I win the bet Naruto, again." Naruto could hear the smirk in her voice and he opened his mouth to yell back but he stopped, his mouth still open. Then suddenly realized he was tied up in the same stump and this person jingling the bell in front of him brought a memory extremely similar to this one.

"What a shame, none of you caught bell except Koyuki." Koyuki jingled the bell infront of Naruto a slightly bemused look on her face. "Looks I win the bet Naruto I got a bell first…you owe me some ramen."

"How do I know he didn't just give it to you?"

"HA! Right like, he would just hand it over."

"No way." Naruto whispered as it finally dawned on him. He looked at the floor as if hoping the answer would be written there, then back at the anbu who had now knelt to his eye level, looking at him with a slight tilt of her head.

"If it helps." the anbu said through the mask. "You still owe me ramen."

"Koyuki?" The anbu laughed and took of her headband which had been wrapped around her left arm to show her birthmark. Sakura looked at the mark and her eyes widened. Sure she had overheard Temari and Shikamaru talking that Koyuki had been back and then showed herself and demanded to know where the little traitor was but both chunnin had denied her information. Now that Koyuki was there her anger had disappeared completely and she didn't even know why.

"Nice to see you again Naruto." she said as she grabbed her katana and cut both Naruto and Sakura's ropes. The stood up and Koyuki was unprepared as Naruto wrapped his arms around her waist and twirled her around in a giant bear hug.

"Naruto!" she yelled and his only response was to laugh. When he finally stopped and set her down she opened her mouth to yell but he put a hand up to stop her.

"Why haven't you taken your mask off yet Koyu?" the nickname made her flinch a bit though no one noticed. He placed his hands on either side of her the mask and took it off slowly. Naruto's blue eyes met with Koyuki's chocolate brown eyes and a thin smile spread on his lips.

"It's good to see you again Koyuki." he said but Koyuki looked down.

"Naruto...I'm glad to see you too." she smiled and wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug and buried her face in his shoulder. He was one of her closest friends and she had realized it the moment he had made her the promise of bringing her Sasuke back.

"And now I can invite you that ramen I owe you." he whispered and she laughed as she pulled away. Then her eyes met with Sakura and she gave a nod of acknowledgement to Sakura who nodded back.

"Sakura." Koyuki said a bit stiffly.

"Koyuki." Sakura answered back with a bit of ice in her voice.

"Okay now can someone untie me." Kakashi complained and Sakura untied him. Tsunade appeared along with Jaraiya and Shizune.

"Well done you two though it seems you still have a bit more to grow." then smiled at Koyuki. "Koyuki you seem to never stop improving."

"Thank you Tsunade-sama." then she turned to Naruto and motioned with her hand. "Lets go Naruto I'm hungry, and there's a lot we need to catch up on."

"Wow so you really went to a lot of places with Jaraiya." Koyuki said as she slurped some ramen into her mouth.

"It was amazing some of the villages have never even heard of ninjas before!" Naruto said. "The training was brutal, even the headband Iruka sensei had given me got torn and worn is had to change the cloth for this one." He adjusted his black head band and she noticed the cloth was quite long but in a way it suited.

"And I'm guessing the new outfit was due to that as well?" she asked. It was similar to the one he'd worn when he was younger but the pants were completely black while the jacket was black and orange and the material seemed less heavy than the previous one. He looked more mature she realized with a start and his hair was still blond and pointing in every direction but it looked more tamed.

"Stop staring Koyuki." Naruto laughed and Koyuki rolled her eyes.

"I'm not staring, just analyzing how different you look. But I would have to guess your personality is still the same." she smirked.

"You know it!" then he looked at his finished bowl of ramen in thought before finally looking at Koyuki. "Hey...how have you been?"

Koyuki finished eating and looked at Naruto, his eyes dark with seriousness and instantly she knew what he meant. She shook her head and stood up.

"This isn't the place to talk about it. Follow me." Naruto paid for the bill and followed her until he realized they were heading towards her house. The silence was eerie, and to him...slightly awkward.

"So, um..."he cleared his throat. "How did you end up with silver hair like Kakashi-sensei?"

Koyuki looked at her hair and then simply shrugged.

"I'm not completely sure, I fell asleep with dark hair and when I woke up next morning it ended like this. Although I'm starting to believe it changes during special circumstances and it's a gene that comes from my mother's side of the family.

"And what are those circumstances?"

"You'll see when we get to my house." she voice sounded a bit tight as she said it and Naruto wondered if there was something more to what she was letting on. Once they got to her front door she turned to him with a serious look.

"Okay, Naruto I need you to promise me something." Right away Naruto could tell he wasn't going to like this.

"O...kay..."

"This is serious Naruto no matter what you see and anything I tell you has to stay between us. You can't tell anyone at all...not even Sakura."

"Does anyone else know? Tsunade? Kakashi?"

"Yes...and so does Neji, Shikamaru, and the Sand Sibling...in fact they were the first to out."

"Okay what is it? Does it have to do with Sasuke?"

Koyuki hesitated and then nodded.

"Yes Naruto...it has everything to do with Sasuke." she opened the door and walked in with Naruto following behind her. In the living room there were a few toys scattered everywhere. Naruto looked at the toys in curiosity while Koyuki stood behind him.

"Atsuko I'm home!" Koyuki called and Naruto turned to her with a raised eyebrow.

"Who's Atsuko?" There was a soft thudding of feet as they came down the stairs and Naruto watched as Koyuki's eyes softened and filled with love. Confused her turned around, expecting to see Sasuke's replacement but there was no one. That is...until he looked down and saw a two year old boy looking up at him with sleepy eyes. He had hair similar to Sasuke but there were some natural brown highlights in it, his eyes reminded Naruto of Sasuke's and the features were everybit the same as Sasuke's. Naruto stood there with confusion written all over his face until the you boy tilted his head to the side in curiosity.

"Who are you?" Asked the little boy and Naruto looked at Koyuki who was now at his side. Koyuki looked at Naruto and gave him a small nudge, prompting him to speak.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto...what's yours?" the little boy looked at Koyuki for permission and she smiled.

"It's alright honey, tell him your full name." the little boy fidgeted with his feet before answering.

"My name is Uchiha Atsuko." Naruto froze, his eyes widened and all the color left his face.

"Uchiha...he's an Uchiha?"

"He's not just an Uchiha Naruto." she walked over to Atsuko and picked him up. She moved his bangs from his face and now Naruto noticed something he hand't noticed before. Every single feature of Atsuko looked identical to Sasuke's, but there were a few things like the lips, or the small expressions the little kid was showing...those reminded him of Koyuki. That's when he finally got it.

"Atsuko Uchiha...he's..."

"He's my son Naruto, and Sasuke's the father."
