Can you believe I have so many reviews so soon. I've never had so many reviews in my entire employment of writing fanfics (FYI I just said employment to make it sound cooler).

Thanks so much my loyal readers.

I also want feedback on your reactions to the pairings:

Zabuza/Yukie

I'm branching out with these. All of the other characters are open to pairing options. If you have any suggestions please review and tell me.

The Village Hidden Amoungst the Leaves. The centre of all shinobi activity in Fire country and the first ever Hidden Village. Founded less than eigthy years ago by the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan. The cultural hub of fire ninjutsu and bloodline limits.

Today the Hidden leaf village celebrated the one day a year when they remember th founding of their great village. But years ago it was a day of scorn for the Uchiha clan, who when still alive, remembered the day their ancestor and mighty clan were held down by the first hokage.

Fireworks had been illuminating the sky all week and the construction on Tsunade's head atop the Hokage monument was delayed for another week, until the celebration early.

In the hokage office an air of joy and happiness was emitted from the room, which is odd since usually Tsunade is throwing chairs and her desk out the window

The Lady Hokage herself was acting strangely.

She gave off a happy smile, without being drunk. She was doing her paper work laughing at every paragraph, she actually smiled at Danzo at the elders and she was humming a tune which sounded oddly like the Macarana. To say Shizune was scared would be an understatement. She was having minutre heart attacks all over the place.

Sandaime stayed away from the office for the safety and welfare of his heart and in fear of his life.

It wasn't just because of the festival that had Tsunade all happy and cheery. No. It was the fact that in one week it was the tenth of October and tomorrow she would start making her way to the land of snow, where hopefully her only grandson was and where she was going to meet him.

"Tsunade-sama we must prepare for your departure. If you leave to collect the jinchurikki then you must first be prepared to leave a suitable body guard and regent for when you return" Hiashi informed the Hokage who smiled dreamingly out the window.

"Just chill Hia-chan" she said to him as the other council memebers giggled at how she had addressed him. The Hyuuga heads eyes rose high in to his forehead with shock and embarassment plastered across his features. "I've got my body guard all sorted out and Sandaime and Kakashi will regent for me. Oh and they'll be answering Teuchi Ichiraku with any of our complaints. He's my main regent".

"BUT HE'S A RAMEN CHEIF!"

"So? He's more loyal than any of you. He see's past hatred and what other people say about certain individuals. Suprisingly he knows politics and he's there for the most important reason of all." Tsunade answered with a hint of evil in her voice. "Really Tsunade? And what reason may that be?."

Tsunade gave an evil sneer before replying.

"His appointment to regent..."

Everyone leaned in closer to hear what she had to say. Tsunade's sneer grew in intensity so much that it could be the sneer counterpart to Gai's good guy smile. She soon SHOUTED the answer to the council.

"...PISSES YOU ALL OFF!" she began to laugh as many recoiled in pain from her loud voice, before gaining looks of anger and malice on their faces directed at the lady hokage.

"Hey did you hear? That Teuchi guy is gonna be the hokage's regent"

"No way the ramen chef? What is the Hokage thinking?"

"His appointment pisses off the council. And apparently the rumours going around about him..."

"You heared thoses too?"

Ayame Ichiraku stopped dead in her tracks at what she had heared. Those rumors! No one had spoken of them in years. Back when she had been a little girl and her father had been...SHIT!

It was probably someone on the council who had leeked it out. If anyone found that these rumours were true then her father would be either put to death, imprisoned or sent away for the reward back to that place. Ayame had to warn her father. He was in danger.

The ramen girl rushed through the streets pushing and shoving people out of the way making it easier to get to the stand. She had to get there before someone got smart and drunk and did something regretful. Her brown hair trailed behind her and her eyes widened with every breathe.

Ayame was a sight to behold as she run. Like a true work of art.

She was to far away from the stand so the ramen girl decided to take a shortcut. It was an alley which led down to the highstreet and to another alley where Ichiraku was. However Ayame took a wrong turn and instead of seeing the other side all she saw was a black cloak.

The poor girl looked up in to the man's eyes. She could tell it was a man from the fact that his chest was so flat. "Ayame?" he asked curiously. The voice was famillier. It danced in the girl's head like a symphony of yearning. The beating of Ayame's heart increased it's pace, beating in tandum with the song that was whispering within her mind.

"You? What are you doing here?" she asked frightenedly. The stranger was about to reply when she started up again. "Never mind that! You have to get out of here! I'm already the daughter of one criminal I can't be seen as the ex-girlfriends of another."

However the stranger grabbed her hand as she turned. "Who said anything about ex-girlfriend?" he smirked. Ayame stood there flabbergahusted.

"Are you kidding me?" she asked scandalised. "Do you have any idea how much I worry that you're still alive? I have to worry about if they haven't found you yet and I'm always scared that they'll catch on to you". Tears appeared in Ayame's eyes. They cascaded down her cheeks like waterfalls on to her jaw line.

"So you tell me? Leaving me here without so much as a goodbye all those years ago. You told me what you had to do but you could have gotten away with it but I heared about it and it broke my heart about what I heared. You left me here and I..." the rest of her rant was cut off as a pair of lips softly crashed down on to hers.

The memories flooded back and engulfed her. The first time they met, their first date, their first date, their first time. The marriage proposal. Years and years flooded back before Ayame pulled away and slapping her "Ex-Boyfriend". "Baka" she told him. "Just because you kiss me to say sorry to me doesn't make up for all the heart ache. Come back when you can face me instead of just kissing me".

And with that Ayame ran.

Within five minutes she was infront of Ichiraku. But she was not alone. There stood Tsunade, Jiraiya, Sarutobi-san and Iruka each ordering a bowl of ramen each. Spirits seemed high with them, but Ayame knew what she had to do.

Naruto dodged Haku's ice sebon barage for the sixth time that day. The feminine boy had been ruthless in their training sessions. Zabuza had been teaching to show no mercy when faced in battle, especially in times of war. Haku, however, had taken these lessons to heart and attacked like this in every sparring match except against Isaribi.

Naruto growled out his jutsu just in time.

"Hyoton: Black Dragon blizzard jutsu", the black dragon rose from the ground and spiralled at Haku. The boy however was unable to dodge and was sent flying in to the wall of the Yukikage tower.

"You'll pay for that Otouto" Haku growled before moving at blinding speeds. "Shadow Clone Jutsu" Naruto cried multipying himself as Haku appeared behind one of the twenty-six Naruto. The ice user aimed a kick at the top of his brother's head only for it to make contact and send Naruto up in a puff of smoke.

"He,he missed Ku-chan" the Narutos teased.

Haku threw another sebon at the Narutos until all but one had dispelled.

"He, he. Haku-onichan you wouldn't hurt your otouto now would you?". Haku's eyes glowed evil as he aimed a kunai at Naruto.

It whizzed through the air.

Naruto ducked.

And Isaribi had a kunai flying straight for her face.

Her eyes widened in shock.

Haku screamed at her.

Naruto moved his hand as green chakra covered them. A vine spurted out of the ground and smacked away the kunai. Leaving Naruto, Haku, Isaribi and Yukie to marvel at the plant that now began to wrap around Naruto protectively.
