It's now 3 years later and it turns out my godfather Jiraiya was a good sensei. He taught me to perfectly enter sage mode within those three years… something that took him almost his whole life to partially complete. Jiraiya was still a good master, don't get me wrong, but I think I've surpassed him learning all of his secret techniques. As for Sasuke, he showed much promise with his Sharingan, mastering it and copying many jutsu to the tee. That was all within the three years of our training on Mount Myoboku. I even invented my own jutsu-Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. It was a good time, but I'm ready to see Sakura, Kakashi, and finally meet Sasuke's parents in their new mansion which is where I'll be staying until I'm 18. What more could a girl want?

"Race you to your house!"

"Hey, you don't even know where it is dammit!"

I ran ahead then climbed up a pole with my feet. Overlooking the village I searched for a really big house on this side of town.

"There, Sasuke!" I said, looking down and pointing to the distance. I then saw a girl who looked familiar walking towards us as she didn't seem to recognize who was in front of her. "Hey, it's Sakura! Hey Sakura!"

I then jumped down from my perch from on top of the pole and made my wind chakra take most of the fall. I could tell the boys were trying to look up my skirt as well. "Naruko?!" said the girl as she ran up to me and hugged.

"Hey, Sakura-chan." said Sasuke.

"Heh, I guess you've sure grown up. Hehe!" said Sakura, pulling him closer and bear hugging the both of us. "Is that your brother, Sasuke-kun?"

Itachi waved, "Hello." he said happily.

"Yeah, that's him… heh." said Sasuke.

"He's got to be ten times cuter than you. Nice to meet you!" she said as Itachi blushed at her.

"Hey, Tsunade-sama wants to see you two." said Sakura to us, specifically Sasuke and me I presume.

"Wha? Who's Tsunade?" I said, tilting my head with a question mark over it.

"My master and the new Hokage. She used to be one of the Sannin!" said Sakura.

"WHAT?! There's a new Hokage already!? That old bitch better not be a real girl, because it was MY dream to first female Hokage!" I said. I fake-cried anime tears and sulked.

"Sorry, Naruko… looks like you wer-"

"That's okay! I'll be the second female Hokage, and Sasuke and I will make the third! Then her daughter will be the Hokage-ain't that just great? HAHAHA!" I said.

Sakura twitched with shadows under her eyes.

Sasuke didn't look too thrilled by the prospect of making babies with me-I could tell by his sweat drop. "Didn't we agree that we'd be seeing other people three years ago?"

I put one hand on my hip and got into my cutest peace-sign pose and said, "I guess you'll just have to wait for me! Nya~!"

That's when I went to kick him in the stomach with my arms in the air as I put on an angry anime face. That all happened as I had said, "AND YOU WILL WAIT FOR ME!"

"OH boy… she's gotten ten times crazier living in the higher elevations, hasn't she." said Sakura.

Itachi shrugged, "I don't know, maybe a little bit."

They both anime sighed at the same time.

"Alright, we're going to this Tsunade-baa's office. See yah later." I said getting into another cute pose and waving good-bye to Sakura.

"She asked me to escort you once you got back… Kakashi, our new sensei is going to meet us there." said Sakura.

"Fine! Let's just go so I can take a hot shower that's not in a lake once I get to Sasuke-kun's house."

"Hm…" I said, getting into the scary woman's face unafraid. Tsunade looked a lot younger than someone who was supposed to be in her fifties.

"Um, Naruko! You might not want to get too close." Sakura said. But that made me almost want to press noses.

Tsunade just glowered folded her hands in front of her gritted teeth.

"This woman is the Hokage? Bah, Dattebayo!"

Tsunade stood up and slammed her hands on the desk. "If you'd let me speak."

"Oihoihoihoi! Oba-chan needs her nap."

"Naruto!" said Sasuke and Sakura while Kakashi covered his eyes.

"Hahaha! This girl's just like Kushina, full of spunk! Reminds me of the good old days." said Tsunade. She put her hands on her hips and gave a hearty laugh as we all sweat dropped with small mouths. "Call me Oba-chan again and you're dead meat, though."

"You knew my mom?"

"I was your mom's sensei."

My eyes instantly turned to stars. "Waahhh! Really? Almost makes me wish that you were my sensei!"

"Heh, kid, you got your father's skills. I can see it in your eyes. Jiraiya is much more suited to be your teacher. If you ever want to learn about medical ninjutsu however, consult Sakura."

I looked back to her with and awkward anime face and she stuck her tongue out. "Cool, Sakura, you're a med nin now!" I said.

"The best around besides Tsunade-sama." said Sakura as she put he hands behind her back and shrugged slightly.

"Well, turning to the business at hand…" said Tsunade as she sat back down. "You three, Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruko are still technically Genin."

"What? Wait… I forgot… but why is Sakura still a Genin?" I said.

"Because, I didn't want you guys to feel left out. I'm going to compete eventually…" said Sakura, looking drawn.

"Compete in what?"

"The Chunin Exams." said the entire room except me.

"Oh…" I said.

"But first we shall see an assessment of your skills." said Tsunade, "Because, maybe you weren't trained to do a whole lot. It's like we don't know if you're ready for such a task. Also… I should warn you, if Jiraiya has taught you that stupid Sage Mode, then you will not be able to use it in the Chunin Exams for any sort of-"

"No! I'll never be able to do it without my precious Sage Mode! You're asking too much, lady!"

"If you want to build some confidence in your own skills, then shouldn't I purpose that you use only your normal techniques to give you a fair gauge of what you're capable off?" said the lady named Shizune who was I now glaring at with a big demonic head.

"Excellent idea, Shizune."

I anime cried.
