Konohagake no Sato, home to none other than the village's unpredictable ninja, Naruto Uzumaki. As usual, the little blonde was doing his day to day training, well more like sitting around waiting for Kakashi to arrive but as usual, he was late. Naruto was the member of none other than Team 7, which consisted of Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. The members are 15 and have been under Kakashi's wing for some time now, and yet he hasn't once been on time for them. Naruto was leaning against a tree, observing his surroundings, Sasuke, meditating with left eye slightly twitching with annoyance from Sakura trying to gain his attention. She was a sweet girl, nice head on her shoulders, but Naruto knew she was useless. Instead of actually training, as any other sane kunoichi would, she was too busy gawking at the notorious emo next to her. And as for Sasuke, he wasn't bad per say, maybe a little revenge crazy, but somewhat decent when he wants to be. Naruto knew that you can't pick and choose your own members, but a revenge freak and a fangirl, he honestly believed that Kami-san hated him. Even though he understood the meaning behind having a three member team, their skills compared to his own was like a raindrop in a lake. Now he can't deny, despite Kakashi's lateness and that orange book he reads, the guy was good and knew his stuff. Though over time, not only was he training with Kakashi, when the perv wasn't too busy making up excuses to why he was late, he's also been learning from Nine Tail. The two have been working well together, despite days when the fox threatens to eat him, some strange way, it was their own communication of caring for one another.

"Where is he," Sakura complained as she sighed with frustration. She turns to see if Sasuke's paying any mind, to her disappointment he was not. She sighed sadly as her attention focused on Naruto only to witness her was fondling with his jumpsuit. "Oi Naruto," Naruto directed his eyes to the pink haired member. "Why do you always wear a jumpsuit," she scolded as her arms crossed her chest, " Don't you have any fashion sense?" Naruto mentally counted, not wanting to drop his mask. Of course, he would love to wear his actual clothing, but everyone has their secrets and unfortunately for him, he's involved wearing the baggy jumpsuit. Not wanting his useless teammate to keep pestering him, he fabricated an excuse.

"Because it's comfortable for me." He shrugged off.

"Hn. Dobe." Sasuke insulted. Naruto's eyes narrowed, snarling at the Uchiha.

"What was that teme!" Naruto fired back with a smirk, seeing Sasuke react.

"What was that dead last," Sasuke said as he got to his feet, standing over Sakura, who just sat there with hearts in her eyes.

"You heard me, you jerk!" Naruto is also on his feet, standing toe to toe with the fair skinned child. The two glared at one another, the electricity crackling between the eyes.

"You want to go, dead weight!"

"Bring it asshole!"

Kakashi soon appeared to see Sakura cheering on Sasuke, while Sauke and Naruto had each other in a headlock, on the ground. Kakashi sighed with utter sadness at his students. 'These three are going to be the death of me.' Kakashi walked past Sakura, who immediately stopped cheering. Sasuke and Naruto kept struggling when a shadow lingered over the two. Their gaze started from the feet, up the legs, to the torso and up until they met Kakashi face.

"Seriously Sasuke and Naruto...can't you two get along without wanting to kill each other," he sighed with his face resting in his hand and the other resting on his hip.

"But Kakashi-sensei it wasn't my fault! Sasuke-teme-"

"Naruto, you two will have to learn to get along sooner or later and since you two can't do it on your own, I'll make you." Sasuke was giving, 'what does that mean' look at he sensei while Naruto blinked in confusion.

Later on that day, Kakashi punished the team for their conduct. The punishment would've continued, but Kakashi might have gone too far with Sakura. Using a ninjutsu of a decapitated Sasuke was a little too much, he had to carry her home due to the possible development of PTSD. On the other hand, Naruto and Sasuke were left with sore and aching muscles. Since the two live in the same direction, neither one said a word to each other. Soon, Naruto was back in his apartment.

'Tired kit.' 'No, but my muscles are on fire. Stupid teme, getting me in trouble with Kakashi-sensei.' 'Haha, I'm taking care of it, just take a bath and rest.' 'Awe, I didn't know you cared so much about me.' 'Don't pout, it makes you look adorable.' Naruto laughs and continues to undress. Underneath the jumpsuit, was bandages around her chest and a curvy figure; the headband was undone, showing blonde bangs that framed her heart shaped face, as she undoes a hair tie, her blonde locks flowing down her back like a river, stopping just the lower of her back.

And just as suggested, Naruto took a bath and got ready for bed. 'You know, sooner or later they will find out.' I know, but not right now. Naruto yawned and slowly dozed off for the night.

The next morning, Team Seven were out on a retrieve and rescue mission. "Team Seven, do you have the target coordinates?" Kakashi squatted high in a tree, keeping visual of the target. Sasuke, also in a tree, searching with a pair of binoculars.

"Confirm, we have a visual." He says. Sakura peeked around the corner, ready to go at any time while Naruto was hiding under a bush, just a few feet away from the target. Kakahsi, seeing his team in position gave the signal. In a flash, all three make a run for the target, more or less. Sakura dashes towards the cat, but misses as the feline jumps and makes a sharp right just as her hands clamp together. Thinking that she is the only one, the feline rests; however, two hands wrapped around its body, startling the cat. Sasuke smirked at its defeat, which pissed off the feline.

The cat hissed and began to claw and bite at his hand. "Ouch!" Sasuke yells and drops the feline. Naruto sat on a log, and watched the scene before her. She really didn't know why, but probably since the sealing of the Nine Tails, she has always loved animals and feel as things right now, was stupid. Chasing a poor innocent creature, poor thing.

'Where's my sympathy?' Kyuubi grumbles. Naruto laughs at the pouting demon fox. 'Aww you're so adorable when you pout.' 'Don't ever call me that again.' Naruto just rolled her eyes, but feels sorry for the fox, taken under control by a Uchiha.

"...ruto...aruto...NARUTO!" She jumps, as her mind fades back to reality. "Catch it Naruto!" She heard Sakura shout from behind her. Naruto just stared at the feline, with a smile of pure joy and innocence. The feline, feeling no threat, meowed with happiness and jumped right into her arms. Naruto laughs pierced through the air, sending a vibe of peace, as the cat nuzzles her cheek. Sasuke's eyes soften at the image. Sakura only glared, for Sasuke never looked at her that way and Kakashi, smiling under his mask, enjoyed the peace.

"Come on you three...let's head back," their senpai instructed. The feline, hops on top of Naruto head, who gave a girlish giggled, but immediately covered her mouth, when she felt six eyes on her. "Ummm..."

"Naruto, did you just giggle," Sakura asked. Naruto's nervousness started to take over her, she needed something to happen and fast. Her heart rate increases drastically, just then a dog with white fur with brown over its ears appears and tackles Naruto to the ground.

Naruto laughed as the dog began to lick her face, the cat laid on top of her stomach, its tail swishing back and forth. "No...please...stop...it...tickles," she laughs, completely forgetting about the others.

"Akamaru!" Sasuke turns his head to see three other ninja come from behind the bushes. The owner of the dog, Kiba Inuzuka; Neji Hyuuga, and Shikamaru Nara. "There you are. Yo, dead last what are you doing with-"

Kiba words caught at his throat, as he watched Naruto play with Akamaru. Naruto's smile brightened the woods as her laugh brought peace to everyone around her. Her eyes shone with joy and happiness, that diverted their attention to Kiba. His cheeks dusted in a light pink as Naruto walked towards him with his dog, happily wagging its tail. Neji and the others could see the light blush over the Inuzuka face.

"Oh Kiba, here's Akamaru," she said as she handed him over to his owner, "he's so much fun." Akamaru barked happily as she petted him.

"Um t-thanks." Kiba stuttered. He was so nervous and didn't know why. Just when he was about to leave, a loud whimper was heard from Akamura. Kiba gazed down at his partner with confusion until he looked back at Naruto.

Naruto pets Akamaru with a friendly smile. "Kiba, if you don't mind, is it okay if I come over and play with Akamaru sometimes?"

"S-sure."

"Really!" Naruto face showing utter delight as he comes face to face with Kiba, who cheek darkens two shades. "You hear that Akamaru seems like I'll be spending time with you and Kiba. Thanks Kiba!" Just then her stomach growled, developing an embarrassing blush across her cheeks, that Kiba, along with Shikamaru, Neji and Sasuke found cute.

Cute?

'Heh heh. I'll be careful little fox.' Kurama teased, leaving Naruto lost. "Sorry, I guess I'm hungry." Her hand rubbing the back of her head.

"I can take you to Ichiraku, my treat," Shikamaru suggested as he grabbed Naruto's hand, and pulled her along. Sasuke scowled at the physical touch, wanting to beat the Nara heir into a pulp, Kakashi observes the boys and notices the hate glare towards the Shikamaru. 'Oh this is going to be so much fun.'
