Karura slowly waddled into the Wind Tower's shaded garden and sat down on a smooth stone bench with a high back and let out a content sigh. She slowly rubbed her stomach as she felt her third child kick against her and smiled to her self. She was quickly taken from her thoughts as a woman about a year her junior with the most beautiful red hair she had ever seen came stumbling out of the near by restroom. She was sweating and had a hand over her mouth wiping away. After a moment she picked her self up and noticed Karura watching her with a bemused smile. The red haired woman blushed and bowed at the woman. Karura laughed and waived the woman over. The other woman hesitated and then moved and sat next to her.

The red head spoke, "Forgive me Sabaku-hime. I haven't felt well."

Karura shook her head, "It's alright miss…?"

The woman spoke, "Uzumaki Kushina."

Karura nodded, "Yes I remember, you are a part of the Hokage's party."

Kushina replied, "I am off duty today and all the others are at the meeting. Although I haven't been feeling well enough to really take advantage of the time off."

Karura smiled, "Yes I know that feeling quite well the first time was by far the worst for me. How far along are you?"

Kushina shot the older woman a confused look, "What do you mean?"

Karura stared at the woman for a moment in surprise and then responded, "You're pregnant aren't you?"

Kushina blanched, "W-What?! No! I… I… oh Kami…"

Karura put her hand on the woman's shoulder as she bent over with her eyes wide, "Are you okay?"

After a moment Kushina stood up, "I've been so busy lately I lost track of… I'm off by weeks… How could I be so stupid?"

Karura spoke calmly, "It's okay it happens a lot more than you might think. I just assumed you were here as a prelude before you took on less active duties."

Kushina sat back down, "Oh man… I was supposed to finally get a genin team to test and …"

Karura spoke gently, "I take it you're not happy?"

Kushina looked at the woman and then shook her head, "Don't get me wrong I will be but I'm just shocked at the moment and I always wanted kids. I had just thought I'd be a little older before this happened… and married."

Karura spoke, "How will the father take it if you don't mind my asking?"

Kushina froze for a moment and then after a minute she smiled, "He'll be thrilled… the baka."

Karura smiled, "Then it seems to me you should be okay."

Kushina nodded smiling worriedly, "Yes, things will be just fine. If you don't mind my asking… is it worth it?"

Karura beamed, "Oh yes. Very much worth it. I used to think that I couldn't do anything more worthwhile than being the best kunoichi I possibly could be. That was before I had children."

Kushina stared in wonder, "Wow… I hope I don't suck at it."

Karura laughed at her bluntness, "You'll get the hang of it. No one is ever really ready for it."

Kushina nodded, "When is this one due?"

Karura replied, "The due date is February 1st but I think they got the conception date wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes in the next day or two with his kicking and as big as I am."

Kushina goggled, "Wow I didn't realize the time could be so screwy without something being wrong. … Could I feel him kick?"

Karura nodded and Kushina placed her hand on Karura's stomach. Feeling a strong kick Kushina pulled back quickly in shock.

"Wow! That was really strong! It hurts doesn't it?"

Karura smiled, "Sometimes but in the end it doesn't really matter because they are your child and you will do whatever you can to protect and keep them safe no matter the cost."

-January 10th: nine days before Gaara's birthday and nine months before Naruto's.


Sakura walked silently beside Naruto as they made their way from the restaurant. The boy had his hands behind his head and was walking quietly beside her. She was surprised at how well the boy had behaved himself while they were at dinner and how he had listened as she told him about her day. She was also stunned by his lack of talking so far this evening.

Speaking for the first time since they left the restaurant Sakura asked, "What did you think of the food Naruto?"

The dropped his arms and smiled, "It was good, not as good as the old man's ramen though, and I'm surprised at how fast it was."

Sakura nodded, "That was surprising I think they were expecting a really big group in a bit though. Nishimura-sama was to busy to come by and speak to me. When ever I go she usually stops by and we talk for a bit. Oh well that just means we can get back earlier and get more rest for the exam."

Naruto nodded with a slightly guilty look on his face which Sakura caught but she couldn't place what it meant, "Are you alright Naruto? You've been very quite tonight."

Naruto smiled, "Of course I feel fine Sakura-chan! Hey! Why don't we go set on that bench by those flowers?"

Sakura smiled and nodded. As the pair sat down they didn't notice the pair of sea green eyes of Temari focused on them. The girl had gotten out of her team meeting to see Naruto leaving his apartment and walking to meet Sakura outside of the girl's house. She had followed them to the restaurant and henged herself and watched the pair. Nothing of note had happened except Temari had noticed that the entire restaurant was extremely quiet and tense while the couple was there and as soon as they left the atmosphere lifted considerably.

The sky was begging to darken not only because of the quickly setting sun but also because clouds were rolling in and blocking the star and moonlight.

The pair was sitting quietly on the bench when Sakura spoke, "Oh I forgot to tell you I like your outfit."

Naruto blushed slightly. He had picked a white shirt with black trimming around the bottom and collar, short sleeves, and blue shorts, and around his neck he had his hitae-ate.

Naruto replied, "Thanks Sakura-chan. I'm glad you're feeling better tonight than you were this morning. You always look much prettier when you're happy."

Sakura blushed deeply while Temari scoffed in the back ground thinking, 'If that were any other guy I would totally say that was a line.'

Sakura replied, "I had a really long talk with my mother today. I've been so busy since we graduated that we hadn't really talked to each other like mother and daughter."

Naruto was confused, "How does that happen? Don't you see each other everyday?"

Sakura was silent for a moment thinking how to answer, "Well I do but usually I am rushing to finish a meal and get to training and missions, I am eating, or I am trying to get some rest before the next day. Then when we do talk we just talk about that particular day no real heart to heart talks."

Naruto didn't understand but replied, "What about your dad?"

Sakura smiled, "Well tou-san works all day sometimes I only really get to see him in the morning because by the time he gets home I am already asleep. He also makes trips to the capital a few times each year for weeks at a time for his trading company to look at books, but that might change soon because he may become manager for the firm in Konoha so hopefully I'll be able to see him more often. The more I think about things the more I realize how important family is to you."

Naruto shrugged, "I wouldn't know."

Sakura looked sadly at her teammate and asked, "I'm curious Naruto and you don't have to answer but do you have any clues about your family?"

Naruto was silent for a moment debating to himself and then he remembered some of the advice Temari gave him, 'tell her something no one knows' he then spoke slowly, "Actually… do you promise not to tell anyone?"

Temari's ears perked up and she waited to see the younger girl's response. Sakura could tell how serious the boy was and she nodded, "I swear."

Naruto looked up at the dark cloudy sky, "Every now and then I have this dream. In it I feel very small and I am very warm because these long slender arms are around me. Then another pair of arms lift me up. They're more muscular but they hold me just as gently and wrap me tightly and the blanket blocks most of my face and I can't see who picked me up. I am slowly turned back to the person who had been holding me and I can see their lips moving, but I can't understand what's being said because my hearing is muffled by something. I can make out who had been holding me. It was a beautiful woman with the most gorgeous red hair I've ever seen, and her eyes were a nice bright green not a jade like yours but similar. She looks at me and tears are streaming down her face and she says one last thing and then I wake up. I think that that woman was my mother…"

Sakura and Temari's eyes were watering at the story and Sakura was about to say something when Naruto just shook his head and chuckled, "That's got to be crazy though I've been alone at least since I was one and there is no way I could remember being a newborn."

Naruto stood up, walked over to some of the flowers, and turned his back to Sakura and she looked at him in a new light mixed with pity she began, "It's not crazy to dream about having a mother that loves you. Naruto… I know I'm not always the best teammate I can be but I want you to know that I am glad you're on my team."

The boy turned to Sakura and stared into her eyes with an intense gaze which threw her off but she continued, "You're a good guy Naruto loud, irritating, and immature but also brave, loyal, and from time to time you can be very sweet."

Naruto smiled at the girl with a slight blush and Sakura kicked herself, 'Damn it! I'm supposed to be letting him down easy.'

She opened her mouth to keep going but before she could go any further a terrible boom and flash of light cut her short and the sky opened into a torrential downpour. The two teammates quickly ran from the small park to a road that had closed shops with some tarps covering the fronts of them. Already they had been drenched.

Sakura spoke, "We're closest to my house. We can go there and I'll give you an umbrella that you can return later, and who knows it could stop raining by the time we get there."

Cursing as the pair ran ahead Temari removed her fan and placed it over her head slightly open and after debating whether or not to follow she decided that her curiosity over anything related to Uzumaki Naruto was worth getting a little wet for.


Haruno Gakuto sat staring at the clock on his wall with a small book on fishing that he had barely looked at on his knee. He had no luck concentrating while his daughter had been gone and now that it had started raining so hard he gave up all pretenses. His wife looked up from her own book of poetry and gave him a worried look.

"It's not even eight thirty yet… they probably just got done eating and might be waiting for the rain to stop."

Mei nodded, "I'm sure she's fine… I'm probably just being really paranoid… I mean if nothing has happened with that so far it's just not going to happen tonight right?"

Gakuto nodded and was about to reply when he heard laughing coming from the small laundry room that connected the front door to family room. In came his daughter and the white clad Naruto drenched to the bone with rain water.

Naruto and Sakura had laughed the whole way back because the closer they got to her home the harder it rained. As they stepped into the warm living room Naruto looked at Sakura's parents. Her father was tall and skinny with light brown hair and dark forest green eyes. Her mother was a bit shorter than Gakuto with a slightly fuller frame than her daughter but not by much. Her hair was a light red and her eyes were very pale green. Naruto thought that she was very pretty.

Quickly remembering what Temari said Naruto bowed and spoke, "It's very nice to meet the both of you Haruno-sama. You have a very nice home."

Sakura looked at Naruto surprised that he had actually behaved politely in a social situation. Shaking out of the stupor quickly she spoke to her parents, "Tou-san kaa-san this is my teammate Uzumaki Naruto."

Her parents smiled politely and her father shook the boy's hand while Sakura continued, "We were on our way back and the bottom fell out. I figured that we could give Naruto a towel to dry himself off and an umbrella so he could get home."

Her father smiled, "Good idea sweetheart. Why don't you go take a nice hot shower and head to bed and we will see that Uzumaki-san gets off okay."

Sakura nodded, "Yes sir." She turned to Naruto, "I'll see you bright and early Naruto. Thank you for dinner. It was fun."

She went up stairs followed by her mother and Naruto called, "Sleep well Sakura-chan."

The girl smiled at him and gave one final wave goodnight.

As the mother and daughter walked up the stairs Gakuto spoke to Naruto, "Would you like something to drink while Mei gets you a towel and umbrella?"

Naruto shook his head, "No thanks. I'm okay."

Gakuto nodded and motioned for Naruto to sit and the boy did so though on the edge of the sofa so as not to get it to wet. Naruto looked around nervously until Gakuto cleared his throat.

"So you like my daughter?"

Naruto nodded, "Yes sir very much. She's wonderful."

Gakuto smiled, "Yes she is, so you can understand why I want to protect her."

Naruto gulped and Gakuto continued, "I want you to understand Uzumaki-san that I don't think you are the demon and I honestly believe that you have the best of intentions toward the village. I believe that because I trust that Sandaime-sama wouldn't trust you other wise, and judging by how you look at my daughter I can tell you care very deeply for her. That is why I will hope you understand why I don't want you to continue and try to court her as a girlfriend."

Naruto was stunned, "W- What?"

Gakuto sighed, "Please understand. This isn't personal but you of all people know how most of the village reacts to anything related to the Kyuubi even if it is only in a secondary manner. How do you think they would react to her if she was with you?"

Naruto was quite a moment before responding, "I'm going to prove myself to all of them they will know that I only want to protect this village and them! When I do that they won't care about that."

Gakuto replied, "What about before you do that? Okay if you do all that what then? Say you do become Hokage, what kind of life could you really expect to lead with Sakura if you make it? Assassination attempts on you or her?"

Naruto replied, "I'd protect her just like I would protect everyone else!"

Gakuto thought quietly for a moment before he nodded and continued, "Do you want children?"

Naruto was stunned, "W-what? I don't know…"

"Sakura does, do you even know if you can have children, if they would be influenced by what you contain? Would you be willing to risk their lives if you become Hokage?"

Naruto was speechless. He could barely begin to process everything the man was saying and when he finally did he realized he had no idea what so ever.

Gakuto sighed sadly at the look on the boy's face, "I know these questions aren't easy and you probably haven't given them any thought, and I understand because I didn't think about things like this when I was your age. However you should know that being a ninja is a dangerous and uncertain life. It can also be a short life. I want Sakura's life no matter how short to be as happy as possible, and I don't think she could possibly be happy being insulted for being with someone she cares for and not know why. Or worrying that at any moment, not just out on a mission, that someone she loves could be attacked and killed."

Naruto and Gakuto stared into each other's eyes. They were drawn out of their staring match by Mei coming down the stairs carrying a towel and umbrella.

Mei gave a strained smile, "Here you are Uzumaki-san." After she gave him the items she took her first seat and picked up her book and pretended to go back to reading. Naruto held the items for a moment before getting up and leaving the items on the sofa. He quickly made his way to the door but was stopped by Gakuto's voice, "Please Uzumaki-san take the Umbrella at the very least, and please understand I wouldn't have you not be friends with Sakura-chan."

Naruto hesitated for a moment before he walked back and picked up the green umbrella. He once again made his way to the door and stepped out into the rain.

Mei looked at her husband and spoke, "What happened?"

Gakuto sighed sadly, "I had to break an innocent boy's heart."


Temari couldn't find a decent view into the house or a way to hear what was going on inside. Just as she was about to leave however Naruto made his way outside carrying an umbrella. What was odd was that he wasn't using it. Instead he was walking slowly down the street and making no effort to stay dry. Temari could only catch a glimpse of his face from the side but she swore she could see tears mixing in the rain. Debating as to whether or not to talk to the boy Temari finally came to the decision to leave him alone. He was obviously in no mood to talk and she was feeling extremely guilty for listening to his very private story. Besides she had to get back and rest for the exam in the morning.


Mitarashi Anko stared out into the pouring rain and growled to herself. The Hokage had informed her she would be shadowed by an ANBU team during the second stage of the exam so she wouldn't face Orochimaru alone. She rubbed the mark on her neck cursing the old man because he knew she wanted to face him alone… even if she died. She was pulled from her dark musings by her friend Yuuhi Kurenai returning from the restroom. The pair had gone to one of the many shinobi bars in Konoha to get a last bit of rest before the exams. Anko liked spending time with Kurenai because the woman didn't care about her past and they were good friends because they were opposites in many respects, but at that moment Anko wanted a larger or livelier crowd to drown out her emotions. Her wish was soon granted as Asuma, Kakashi, and Tenzou walked into The Sheathed Kunai. The three men spotted the women and took some seats at their table.

Anko asked, "Where's Uzuki and Gekkou?"

Tenzou responded, "He's gotten a positive check up. Hopefully he will finally be able to fully recover given a few more months, and Uzuki-san wished to make him a private meal to celebrate."

Anko drank some sake from her cup and motioned for more to be brought to the table speaking as she did, "Man, Gekkou must be one hell of a lover to make Uzuki become a domestic."

Kurenai blushed, "Or she could just love him."

Anko scoffed and Kakashi spoke while reading his orange book, "Uzuki doesn't want to do this forever. She graduated at ten and has given twelve years service. She wants to get married, retire from ANBU, have a kid, take a genin team, be a normal jounin for her last eight years of active service, retire for good with full benefits, and then have another kid or two. Not everyone wants to do this into their fifties and on you know. Of course it does help that Uzuki say's that "Gekkou knows how to rock my world.""

Kurenai blushed even deeper while the others laughed. The waiter brought more sake and the newcomers poured some drinks.

After a moment Anko spoke again, "So anything I should do to frighten you three's little students?"

Tenzou chuckled and Asuma laughed. Kurenai spoke, "I think you'll do fine on your own. You always do."

Anko grinned, "Ah you're the best Kurenai-chan." Taking another gulp of sake she continued, "Say how about you and I team up and give Asuma-kun a night to remember, or he could just watch, or we could just be by ourselves."

Kakashi giggled, while Tenzou chuckled. Asuma and Kurenai both became crimson.

Kurenai ground out, "No thank you."

Anko pouted, "Oh well another time maybe… What about you two? You up for a little devil's threesome?"

Tenzou spluttered but Kakashi responded calmly, "I don't cross swords with anyone.

Anko chuckled, "Well what about just you and me? I have some stress to work out."

Kakashi turned a page in his book, "I don't know, last month you told me not to sleep with you if you offered after you had been drinking."

Anko waved her and hand and spoke in a dismissive tone, "You know me though Kakashi, I always say the opposite of what I really mean and want to happen. I'm… what's the word…"

Tenzou spoke in his monotone, "Psychotic?"

The others laughed as Anko flipped off the Shodai clone. Kakashi responded in an amused tone, "Not here… tonight anyway… if we go to your place. That is if I agree. I have to get up early in the morning."

Anko pouted, "I do to."

Kakashi nodded, "True, but this is just the kind of situation that you would use to play a joke on me."

Anko opened her mouth to retort but after a moment she closed it, "You're right… What if I did that thing I do with my tongue to wake you up in the morning?"

Kakashi responded, "You do lots of things with your tongue."

Anko smirked, "The best thing I do with my tongue."

Kakashi was silent and then responded, "Let me have a couple of more drinks."

The other three at the table shook their heads in amusement at the pair's antics. The group settled into a short warm silence as they all drank a little more. After a little while Anko began to fidget.

"Oh hell! Kakashi please can we go? I'm so excited because of the exam!"

The others shook their heads while Kakashi replied slowly teasingly, "Now Anko I just got here. I've not gotten a chance to drink much."

Anko pouted and then brightened, "If we can go right now I'll give you a bottle of my gold label from Cha no Kuni."

Kakashi turned his head and thought for a moment but then pointed his finger behind Tenzou and asked, "Who is that?"

Everyone turned to where he pointed but on seeing no one the turned back to masked man who shrugged, "I could have sworn I saw someone. Anyway let's go Anko."

As the masked man waved to the others and began walking to the door the woman yelled in celebration and jumped clean over the table onto his back. He stumbled but retained his balance as they walked out the door into the rain.

Tenzou shook his head and spoke, "I'll never understand them."

Asuma puffed on his cigarette, "It's just the way they are don't try to."

Tenzou nodded and lifted his cup up to his mouth only to realize his drink was gone, "He stole my drink!"

Asuma and Kurenai laughed until they realized he had stolen their drinks as well.


Kakashi trudged at a reasonable pace with Anko on his back. He spoke to her jokingly, "You need to lay off the dango."

The woman responded with an emotionless, "Fuck you."

Kakashi was silent for a little longer, "Do you want to talk?"

Anko let out a short bark of laughter, "Don't ruin our good thing Kakashi. Besides I know you don't like to talk."

Kakashi was silent for a moment, "We've known each other for a long time Anko. As a friend I will always have my door open."

Anko sighed, "I want to kill him so badly… I don't care if I die or not… either way I'll be free."

Kakashi nodded, "Anko… Don't be like him. Trust your comrades and the Hokage to help you."

Anko was silent before she placed her forehead on Kakashi's left shoulder, "Kakashi if I died would you cry for me?"

Kakashi responded, "Like you Anko my tears have all been used up, but I would mourn you as sincerely as I mourn everyone I've lost. I would even miss your pranks on me."

Anko smiled, "If you don't spend as much time staring at my name on that damn stone as you do the others I'll haunt you into an early grave."

Kakashi nodded, "Hai."


Temari was leaning against the wall at the back of the first exam room watching as several groups mingled among themselves. Villages were keeping to themselves and they subdivided into age groups. Except for her team. The others from Suna were afraid of Gaara. Not that she really cared because they were just aquatinted. She knew a few of them and while they weren't bad ninja she didn't think they were chunnin material just yet.

Slowly and surely more people came into room including Ino and her team. The younger girl shot Temari an odd smile that made her think of a she wolf.

Ino walked over and spoke to them, "Hello Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara how are you."

Temari responded politely, "Fine."

Kankuro shot what he though was a charming smile to her, "Great."

Gaara merely stared at the girl.

Ino continued while Choji and Shikamaru joined her waving to the Suna group.

"That's good." Before she could continue the door then opened to reveal Team 8 led by Kiba. They greeted their former classmates and the Suna team politely. The six talked amongst themselves with the Suna team watching and listening in. After a little bit more time passed another team entered. A girl with her hair up in buns, a boy with huge eyebrows and a disturbing green spandex suit, and a male Hyuuga.

The girl with buns chided the green clad boy, "Don't pout Lee, Gai-sensei already forgave you even though he was right about you just wanting to show off."

Lee nodded, "I know that. I am upset because I did act foolishly."

Neji stopped by Hinata and bowed his head slightly with a blank expression on his face, "Hinata-sama."

Hinata smiled, "Hello Neji-niisan. I know you will do well during the exam."

Neji nodded politely but it didn't reach his eyes, and Hinata introduced them to everyone. Gaara and Neji's eyes met momentarily before they broke contact.

The group stood milling about for a few moments in relative silence when the door opened to admit team seven. Sasuke glared at Rock Lee, Sakura followed behind him weary that Sasuke would lose his temper, and Naruto brought up the rear. His face was set in an annoyed manner.

The group rookies and team Gai started to talk amongst themselves. Temari however walked to Naruto who was off by himself, which only Ino and Gaara noticed, and smiled at the boy.

"How was last night?"

Naruto startled out of his silence responded, "Fun…"

Temari could easily tell that he was lying, "That bad…"

Naruto huffed and turned his head away. Temari was shocked by how bad of a mood the boy was in. He had never been anything but friendly to her before. Their attention was turned away from each other by an older boy who had approached the larger group.

"Hello I'm Yakushi Kabuto. I would keep a low profile if I was a rookie like you. Some of the older test takers target first timers. Add in the fact that you are all very young and are already taking the exam some will take it personally."

Shino spoke, "Why offer us this advice?"

Kabuto smiled, "I remember how hard it was during my first attempt and I think how much I would have liked some advice."

Tenten asked, "How many times have you taken the exam?"

Kabuto rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "Seven but you shouldn't worry I specialize in medical jutsu not combat."

Sasuke responded, "What help can someone who's failed seven times offer us?"

Kabuto smiled and adjusted his glasses before he reached into his side bag, "Glad you asked. I have used all of my failures as learning experiences and gathered information. I have cards that when I infuse my chakra they reveal that information. I have a file on everyone that has competed before. I even have your information though it isn't very thorough because I haven't seen you in action. I only have what the villages have released about those new competitors. So please ask about whoever you want."

The group was silent before Neji spoke, "Uchiha Sasuke."

Kabuto chuckled, "Last year's best wants to know about this year's best."

Sasuke smirked as his information appeared.

Sasuke chuckled, "These haven't been updated in six months?"

Kabuto nodded, "Updated once a year."

Sasuke asked, "Hyuuga Neji."

Once again a card flared up.

Before anyone else could ask Gaara's even voice broke in, "Uzumaki Naruto."

Everyone was stunned and Temari's heart quickly filled with a terrible dread.

Kabuto frowned, "Suna is our ally but I don't want to betray a fellow Konoha shinobi."

Naruto spoke, "It's okay Gaara sees how good I am go ahead and show him.

Temari wanted to grab the boy and scream at him to leave and save himself but she didn't want to cause a major scene. Her mind went to work on how to save the poor boy.

The card flashed and what she read gave Temari hope that Gaara would lose his interest.

Temari was shocked by how poor Naruto's stats looked, but she was more shocked by charka level which was the same as some jounin and his apparent high level seal knowledge. Everyone's attention was drawn away by a booming voice that came from a trench coat wearing scared man.

"Alright maggots take your seats and shut up we are starting the exam now!"


AN: Alright! The exams start next time! Don't worry we won't see the first one and the second will be different from canon. After that we shall see. Anyway I believe that except for a few from the last chapter I responded to most of the reviews and those I haven't I will try to do that ASAP. It will be a little while before the next chapter because I have exams starting Wednesday until the fifth. Please keep me strong with your reviews. Don't be afraid to ask question or offer constructive comments. Thanks ahead of time. ~ AOTS
