Hi peoples. I think it has been a week since I updated this story and I am trying to get back in the habit of updating stuff so here is the new chapter! Yayz!! So how was your week? Mine? Well I screwed up my concert by continuously using the wrong note because somebody kept handing me the wrong one! (Screw you SHE-MAN!!!! SCREW YOU!!!!) But luckily the crow didn't notice that much of a difference. (Thank god.) But yeah I am starting to ramble so let us get on with the new chappie already! CHA!!!!!

Disclaimer: Pffft. The day that I acually own something like Naruto is the day where everyone will have become my legions of zombies. Hmm..... It may be sooner than I had though........ Kukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukukuukukukukukukukukukukukukukukuku.

Previously.....................................

"I disgraced you guys again." Sobbed Naru, trying to control her emotions but was failing horribly at it. Kushina and Tsunade merely chuckled. Naru glared at them when she heard them chuckle.

"What's so funny about this?!" Naru angrily asked before pouting cutely.

"That's what you always say. Really it's nothing big after the.........well I kinda lost count after the fifteenth or sixteenth." Explained Kushina before pulling Naru up and going back home laughing and the occasional teasing.

--

As the trio made it to their large estate, Naru's father, Minato was waiting for them, a huge grin on his frail face. Any ounce that was running through her veins instantly vanished knowing that she would disapoint her father. Her best friend.

"So how did it go Naru-chan? What did Ino-san say about you this time? Anything well that I should know about." Minato asked his daughter eagerly. His ocean blue eyes so bright and full of life, this was going to be the hardest thing that Naru would probably ever do. How was she shupposed to tell her dad that she had been banished from the place. That she was unsuitable to become a wife for anybody.

"Well?" Waited Minato anxiously for the news that hopefully would soon come out of his blonde daughter's rosy lips.

"I.......um.......have something of importance and utmost seriousness that I need to discuss with you." Naru informed with most serious and saddened face he had ever seen from his daughter. His smile quickly vanished, as if it ad never existed in the first place. It was quickly replaced with an indifference expression. Naru was about to tell her old man before noticing that her nosy mother and grandmother were still there.

"I want to talk to you ALONE." Said Naru, adding volume and emphasis to the last word. Tsunade and Kushina got the hint and quickly disapeared from sight. But if you looked closely around they were still there. Spying on the pair. Okay now that everyone else is finally gone, or so Naru had thought, Naru could finally start the conversation between her father and herself.

"What happened Naru-chan?" Asked Minato with such sincerity and kindness that it crushed Naru's heart.

"Well I tried to help Ino-san out since she fell and caught on fire......" Started the blonde-haired girl. Her father looked at her strangely. Okay, how much did he miss? Ino catching on fire? What else was he going to find out? What? Like Ino was a dude. No wait, the last one was actually plausible.

"And then I tried to fan it out, but the fire got even bigger. So I did the only other thing I could think of. I threw the rest of the tea in the kettle on her. The fire was gone but she was even more furious than I have ever seen her. And then she banished me, saying that I am unfit to be a bride." Naruto muttered the last part, but her father still heard it.

"............" Minato couldn't form the right sentences for this. Should he be angry that she ruined it, or happy because he will have his daughter all to himself.

"Naru, I love you with all my heart." Minato said so suddenly. Naru stopped her tears and gazed up at her father with the most mazing blue eyes anyone has ever seen. He then took her outside to the courtyard for her and him to sit on a bench under a cherry blossom tree. Naru looked the other way trying to avoid her father's similar ocean blue eyes.

"My my. What beautiful blossoms there are today." Minato commented trying to change the mood between the two somewhat light and airy. It wasn't working apparently.

"But look this one is late!" Minato pointed out as he looked at a bud, Naru looked up to see it as well.

"But, I bet that when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful one of them all." Said Minato as she smiled kindly and lovingly at his daughter before putting a cherry blossom into her golden hair.

But before either could say another word there was loud banging of the drums. Which meant one thing and only one thing. The Chinese army is here. Everyone hurried outside to see what was the problem. Kushina stopped Naru from coming any closer, for she was still considered a child, well to her red-haired mother. Naru pouted but Tsunade hinted her to climb up the small mount of boxes by the wall to see what was going on. She quickly climbed up and could see a few soldiers with a white-haired, middle-aged man on a black horse. He had the most sinister brown eyes she had ever seen her entire sixteen years of existance.

"Citizen's I bring a proclomation from the Imperial City." Exclaimed the white-haired man. People listened carefully, knowing it something of importance from their emperor.

"The Huns have invaded China!" Proclaimed the man. There were many gasps and screams coming from the people in the village, wanting to know more about the situation.

"By Order of the emperor, one man from every family must serve in the imperial army." Finished the man as he took out a scroll from his royal blue hanfu.

"The Shao family!" Ordered the man before a man with brown hair, and light green eyes came up and bowed to the man before taking the scroll from one of the soldiers.

"The Yei family!!!" The man once again shouted. This time a young boy with unruly light brown hair came up with his elderly father.

"I will serve the emperor in my father's place!" Exclaimed the boy before looking to his father for reassurance, and sure enough, he got it the approval he wanted.

"The Namikaze Family!" The man shouted with such authority and loudness that it made some people cringe.

'No!' Naru shouted in her mind before deciding to do something about it. Minato slowly limped over to the man with his cane in his right hand. As he stood right in front of the a guy whom appeared to be in the army, before bowing slightly before talking.

"I am ready to serve the emperor." Said one Minato Namikaze in a clear, loud voice for all to hear. Just then Naru jumped in between his father and the man whom was about to hand his father a scroll, enrolling him in the army once again.

"Father you can't go!" Naru then turned to the man. " Please sir, my father is ill and has already fought for the-" She was then stopped as the white-haired man came up to her and Minato.

"Silence! You will do well to teach your daughter in a man's presence!" Hissed the whitesh, silver-haired man before grouching about something and returning to his post.

"Naru, you may leave." Minato said in a cold, indifference tone. A tone that Naru had never seen her father use before. This brought the poor golden-haired girl to tears before making a dramatic exit. Tsuande quickly followed behind her grandaughter, wanting to see if she was okay from what had just occurred.

"You are to report to camp tomorrow by noon!" Ordered the white-haired man before he and the soldiers continued on with the list. Once they were done they left the small village to go to other villages before the days end.

--

Dinner was quiet that night. No talking amongst one of the loudest families in the village. Kushina and Tsunade were eating solemnly while Naru slowly poured her father some tea before pouring herself some. Naru just stared blanky at the small cup before slamming it, resulting the contents of it to spill everywhere.

"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO!" Yelled Naru glaring at her dad.

"Naru-" Kushina spoke softly but no one heard her once Naru started once again. Her father, Minato looked up at her with distant cerulean eyes like hers, but her own held a tremondous unamountable anger in them.

"THERE ARE PLENTY OF YOUNG MEN TO FIGHT FOR CHINA!!!!!" Screeched the golden-haired girl. Her father was still impassive about the subject.

"It is an honor to protect my country and my family." Minato stated as a matter of factly before taking another sip of his tea.

"So you'll die for honor?!" Screeched the golden-haired girl as she waited for any response from her dad. Her dad stood up and glared into her cerulean eyes before speaking.

"I will die doing what's right!" Shouted Minato. Naru tried to retort back but Minato wouldn't let her.

"I know my place!! It is time that you learn yours!" Shouted The golden-haired man before sitting back down at the table and resuming dinner. Naru ran out of the place as fast as she could. Kushina and Tsunade tried their best to ignore it, not wanting to pick sides on family.

--

It was pouring down rain heavily. Naru ignored it, as if not noticing that she was being drenched in the cold, freezing water. She was sitting on a statue staring into space thinking about all that has been said earlier. She looked down at a puddle to see her reflection staring back at her in despair. You could hear thunder booming loudly in the backround. Naru then gazed ahead to see her parent bedroom window. Her father was tying to talk to her mother. She didn't want any explanation, it seemed. And then Kushina seemed to run off to another room of the building. Then it hit her. She ran to the family temple. Setting her prayors before leaving without a trace, only Hinata watching her from afar, making sure that she's okay.

Naru was silent as a shinobi (2) when she solemnly tiptoed into her parent's bedroom and took the scroll and replaced it with her hair piece, letting her parents know that it was her. She looked at her parents lovingly before dispearing.

She went into her dad's room where he had kept his armor and sword from when he was in the army beforehand. Naru took her father's sword, on her knees, grabbed the sword and cut of her long, flowy, golden hair. The hair slowly drifting down to the floor. Her hair now a messy mop of golden laying on top of her head. It was shorter than her father's even, but it did seem important to her at the moment. She shed her clothing and put on one of her father's outfit before adding the armour on. She then went into the stalls where Kyuubi was currently resting in. He was startled by the stranger but after a minute he realized it was his owner, Naru. She took a good hold of him, jumped on and went into the night.

--

A bolt of lightning had woken Minato up in the middle of the night. He looked to his nightstand, to find his scroll to be replaced with Naru's hair piece. A startling realization hit him. He woke his wife up and Tsunade. They looked to find that his armour was gone as well as her horse.

"We have to get her, she could be killed!" Screeched Kushina crying into her husbands already wet shirt. Tsunade was crying as well, which was a very rare thing.

"No if they find out, she will be killed. Please, anybody help her!" Cried Minato as he hugged his wife, Kushina back.

--

Somewhere in the Ancestor temple a pink, dragon-like statue started to wake from its deep slumber.

"Ow! Who the hell decided to hang me up there!?" Whined a shrilly voice in the dark night.

--

"Sasuke, Are you paying attention to me?" Asked Itachi as he showed his younger brother the plan to counter-attack the huns.

"Hn." Was the oh so great response from the one known as Uchiha Sasuke. He had the darkest obsidian eyes you had ever seen, unlike his brother dark brown ones. His hair was around shoulder-length, the back of it curling up in a way while Itachi's was long and tied in a loose pony tail. Their complexions were that of an ivory color. Both Uchiha's were lean, but muscled at the same time. Women fawned over them that sometimes it was disgusting. Sasuke ignored all of them, so women didn't really matter to him, unlike his brother who takes the time to court and flirt with the women occasionally. On the exterior they looked almost identical, but on the inside they were like water and oil. Different but also alike in some ways.

"Sasuke, I will be gone trying to counter the Orochimaru and his minions against Konoha mountains. I am going to give you responsibility on handling the new recruits while I'm gone." Informed Itachi as he gave a smirk-like smile to his younger brother.

"Really?" Asked Sasuke as he raised a delicate black eyebrow in the process.

"I wouldn't have given you this job if you weren't ready. I trust you." Explained Itachi. Sasuke just stared astonished at his brother. His brother, his brother whom always called him childish, annoying, and so much other crap was giving him a huge job.

"I trust you captain." Said Itachi before he and his army left before the night, Sasuke actually gracing a smile on his usually stoic face.
