"Is that so" lord third took puff of his pipe and breathed out a slow cloud of smoke. team seven has arrived an hour prior to the village and are reporting to the Hokage.

"Yes, and I will write more details in my written report sir" Kakashi said

"Very well then Kakashi, I expect you to be finish by tomorrow. Team seven you are dismissed" The third said waving then to be dismissed

There was a knock at the door "Lord Hokage it's me" a clear female voice spoke through the door

"Ah, yes please come"

The door opened slowly, a teenaged kunoichi wearing the standard leaf shinobi outfit walked in she wore two necklaces a jade circled cut pendent on a string of brown leather worn down and an Uchiha pendent hanging on a silver chain, but the thing that stood out the most was the her dark onyx, pale warm skin, and black raven hair with a tint of blue in a pixie cut with spike bangs framing her feminine face.

"I have brought what you have asked for, lord third" she said with a small smile

"Kakashi who is she!" Naruto asked whispering at his sensei "She looks like Sasuke if he were a pretty girl and without the attitude". Sakura and Akane tuned in on Naruto's question also wanting to know who the kunoichi is.

The kunoichi turned to face the genins her eyes brightened up "Hello Sasuke, how was your mission? Kohana told me it was a C-ranked mission to the land of Waves, how did that go?" she said in warm tone

"Well… it's complicated, but it was a success" Kakashi answered

"Sasuke who is she?" Sakura asked whispering into his ear

Sasuke sighed "She's my sister"

"What!?" Naruto and Sakura said in shock

"Michiko, thank you for bringing these." the hokage smiled "And I will grant you to leave early, since you have most of the work done"

"Are you sure? We still need to sort the mission scrolls and mission reports" The kunoichi named Michiko said

"Don't worry Michiko, since you are the most hardworking I will make Akihiko do it since he slacks of the most" he smiled waving her to leave the genin

"Very well my lord, I will see you tomorrow" she bowed and left with the genin. They all began to walk down the hall in silence until she stopped in the hall

"So, Sasuke why don't you introduce me to your team" She smiled. Sasuke tensed and looked at the the floor

"They aren't that important Michiko" Sasuke said continuing to walk

"Sasuke, if you don't introduce them to me there will be no dinner for you when we get back home" she said with a playful tone smiling

Sasuke stopped and walked he began to introduce his team "That's Naruto, Sakura, and Akane. There I said let's go home" Sasuke began to walk again leaving them behind.

"Sasuke?" Sakura called out

"Sorry about that he usually doesn't act like this. He will open up more eventually" she smiled again "Oh, how rude of me my name is Michiko Uchiha, and like he said earlier I'm his older sister. I'm also part or soon to be part of hokage guard platoon."

"Wait what! So, you're Sasuke sister? Then why hasn't he mentioned you at all" Naruto asked

"Well I think it's because he hasn't got comfortable sharing information yet" she shrugged "but I hope that he will open up more and I trust that you all will be good friends for him" she smiled warmly again

"Don't worry Michiko-chan! I will make Sasuke not be an ass no more you can count on me because in order for me to become Hokage I need to keep my promises!" Naruto yelled giving Michiko a thumbs up. Michico looks awed and smiles

"Of course, thank you Naruto-kun." Michiko bowed "I have to go home now see you soon Naruto, Sakura, Akane" she bowed at each name. "See you soon Kakashi-senpai" she whispered gently. She bowed on final time and left

'He got you in that habit didn't he' Kakashi sighed


Outside of the hokage's building team seven was going to take their leave, but Kakashi asked Akane and Naruto to say back. Sakura hesitant to leave but Kakashi insisted she was not need to for the discussion. Kakashi gestured them to walk with him and they followed, walk down the main road.

"Kakashi-sensei what did you want to discuss with me and Naruto?" Akane asked she looked up at her sensei, who was taking his time to answer her question

"Well, you see Akane I want you to help Naruto with his academics and he will help you with taijutsu by being your sparing partner" Kakashi simply said

"Wait what?" both genin said in surprise as they both stopped walking. Kakashi turned around and placed his hands on their shoulders'.

"How about I start with Naruto" Kakashi said getting Naruto took look up at him. "Naruto even though you are strong young shinobi, you need academics to help you and I know what happened with Mizuki, he made it hard for you to learn, but that's why I'm having Akane help you" Naruto pouted. "Akane, you are quite skilled, your academics are exquisite, but your taijutsu looks as if you are always sparing with a dummy and it takes you awhile for you to change that form."

Naruto and Akane stood in silence taking in Kakashi words which were true. Akane was good with taijutsu, but if she were fighting with a practice dummy and it takes her while to change into sparing with a person. Naruto is smart but he tends to think with emotion rather with head, and what makes it worse was with the whole thing with Mizuki which set him back. Naruto improved a lot when he met Akane, but there still was a whole lot to improve.

"So" Kakashi said catching their attention "Since, you are both from the same clan and team, I think this is a good way for you two to bond" Kakashi said pushing the two together cheek to cheek " Tomorrow you will start your training, ok. Now I want you to have a good night's sleep and train hard" Kakashi let them both go and vanished

Akane sighed.

Naruto was deep in thoughts "Akane?"

Akane turned to him "What Naruto"

"Since we are from the same clan, I was wondering if you can teach me about it" He said "This is the closest thing I have to a family and I want to know more." his voice grew serious

"Meet me tomorrow here on the main road. we will got to the library, but first before we go to the library I need to run some errands and then we go to the library okay"

Naruto grinned "Yes" He saluted at her "I will see you tomorrow" Naruto ran home waving her


Sasuke arrived home he opened the door and took his sandals off at the entrance then he walked to the kitchen where he was greeted by Michiko

"Already home? I thought you would have came sooner" she said placing two bowls of rice on the table.

"I went for a walk" Sasuke sat down and folded his arm across his chest

Michiko set the food down and sighed "Sasuke I want you to be friendly with your teammates" Sasuke frowned at her "I don't know how they are right now, but you will have to work on your team work. Kakashi hasn't told you this,but the chunin exams are about to begin and having teamwork will make it easy for you to pass"

"Fine I will do it, but I still don't care for them especially Naruto" Sasuke said as he ate his rice

"Why don't you like Naruto?"

"First off, he's an idiot, he does not think before he acts" he says taking a bite of food

"But is he a good?" She asked

"Well his taijutsu has improved since the academy, but he still is rusty. It takes him a while to get used to the fighting. He can create around what appears to be one hundred shadow clones, but he's idiot so none of that works for him" Sasuke said

"I see, so he has improved a lot." Michiko folds her hands rests her chin on them and smiles "Are you a little jealous, Sasuke?" Sasuke frown once again looked away "Does this have to do with what happened in your mission? Tell me Sasuke, what happened during the mission to the Land of Waves" Sasuke sighed and he began to explain the mission.


The next morning, Naruto woke up early and headed to the main road to meet up with Akane. He was excited, he was going learn more about his clan, but to have someone who was close to being similar to a family. Naruto did not have a chance to ask Akane about the clan in the academy, since Akane looked intimidating thoses day and still does. Naruto smiled to himself 'Today I will learn more about my cool clan. I wonder what cool super jutsus that are secreted only for our clan' he giggled. He looked up and saw Akane who was also made it on the main road.

"Hey Akane!" he waved at her

"Hello Naruto" she greeted him

"So, what errands do you have to do?" he asked

"First I want to by sealing scrolls and a couple of practice scrolls"

"Scrolls for what"

"I want scrolls for storing things like clothing or weapons, and now that I have made some money I will by some scrolls to practice fuinjutsu since they are expensive"

"Fuinjutsu, that has to do will making seals, right?"

Akane nodded "Well at least you learned something in the Academy" Naruto stuck his tongue out at her


The both entered the shop and Akane bought two scrolls, five practice scrolls, a pack of fuinjutsu sheets, ink, and brushes. Akane finished shopping, Naruto and her headed for the library. Once they arrived, they walked towards the checkout table.

"Hello there is there anything you need?" the librarian asked

"Hello, and yes I would like to check out the Uzumaki history books and rosters of the clan members"

The librarian headed back into the back room and came back out, handing Akane one book. "I'm sorry, I can not give you anymore than this, the rest of the books are only for jonin" Naruto and Akane both thought of the same thing 'Kakashi'. "And no, you can not ask your sensei to check the books out for you. As for the roster, it's a S-ranked secret" Naruto pouted and Akane sighed

"Very well then, thank you for your help" Akane bowed and left with Naruto. They made it back to the main road. "So, where do you want to study that at your house or mine?"

Naruto placed his hand under his chin 'My place is a total mess, and I don't have much space to spare so'. "How about your house" He grinned. Akane nodded. The continued to walk down the road. People were staring at them and they began to whispering to each other. Akane ignored them, she looked at Naruto, who was looking down. the walk was silent . Akane apartment building was in view, they both walked up the side stairs and Akane unlocked the door. They entered the apartment and took off their sandals at the entrance.

"Wow, your apartment is big and clean too" Naruto walked towards the sitting area "Wow you also have a nice view, man I wish I lived in apartment like this, your parents must make a lot money to afford this place" Naruto sat on the couch and Akane stood behind

"Well, sort of my parents bought this apartment and intended to move in, but they did not get the chance" Akane said walking towards the window

"Wait, oh sorry I didn't know" Naruto started to feel embarrassed for his comment. he began to wonder what type of people her parents were. "So. what were your parents like?"

"My parents? Well, My mother was um… a skilled kunoichi, she serious, but she had a playful personality, she was also good at cooking. My father was … also a skilled shinobi, he was laid back, he joked a lot, and he liked to get on mother's nerves. I think that's what I can only say, they were always on missions and I was about four years old when they died, so I don't remember much about them" She looking out the window. "How about you Naruto what about your parents?"

"I-I never met them." Naruto said quietly. Akane turned to look at him, he was looking down and look back up, and then out of the window. "Old man Hokage said they both died when the nine tailed fox attacked the village" Naruto answered. They both sat in silence for a moment. Naruto breathed in and out and smiled "How about you start teaching me about our clan" Akane nodded she smiled a little, he reminded her of her father

"First we'll start off with our clan's abilities, as Uzumaki's we have inherited high levels of stamina, chakra, and life force" Naruto process this information and slowly he understood and began to make sense.

"I have a question, if we are a clan, then shouldn't there be more of us?"

"I was about to get there" she sighed " The Uzumaki clan is not originally from the hidden leaf. The Uzumaki originate from the land of whirlpools and we were allies to the hidden leaf. The Uzumaki clan was skilled in fuinjutsu, we aided the hidden leaf during the wars with our fuinjutsu, but during the beginning toward the middle of the second shinobi war, many villages feared our sealing abilities and gathered together and destroyed our clan. Some people did survive but they headed different paths after the destruction, My parent migrated to the hidden leaf after with a small group of survivors." Naruto closed his eyes and thought about Haku, they both were more in common than they originally thought. Naruto then remembered Zabuza's comment about Akane

"So, Akane, Zabuza said that you were an Uzumaki and that your hair made sense?" Akane froze, how would she explain this to him?

"Well, um… it's a common trait in our clan to have vibrant red hair" she blushed bright red

"So, I have a clan of tomatoes? great!" Naruto said jokingly and laughed, but stopped when he sensed Akane's demonic aura surrounding her she walked in front of Naruto who was trembling in fear of death. Akane cracked her knuckles.

"Don't ever compare me to a tomato, I hate tomatoes" she growled "Understood!" Naruto nodded rapidly. Akane let herself calm down "Let's start studying alright"


Kakashi along with the third Hokage stood outside of the apartment. The third took his pipe out of his mouth "I hope he learned his lesson, but I also believe this would be good for him is he survives"

Kakashi chuckled."Yes, I think with this little training they will be ready for the chunin exams. Have you informed the other jonin senseis about this"

"No, not yet until two weeks I will start to hand out applications"

"Very well, team seven will be there. I'm sure of it"

"You seem to have a lot faith in your team, Kakashi" The Hokage smiled

"No, I don't, but they are stubborn and when they put their mind to it they are committed " Kakashi crossed his arms nodded at the Hokage and both left the apartment


Author's Note:

Yay another chapter! I rushed to finish this chapter and some of the information might be incorrect (I tried, sorry). Any how I hope you enjoy the interaction with Akane and Naruto, it was tough to figure out without changing the character that much (If that makes any sense). Also Sasuke has a sister, I would say that she is 16 years old same age for Kohana as well. Also more explanation on the Uchihas will be more interaction with them and maybe some Saukra, maybe in the next chapter.

Michiko means 美智子 "beautiful wise child"
