Nyoko Namikaze Point of View

I sat next to Shino, one of the three sane unannoying people within this class. Just watching as Iruka sensei walked in with a tied up Naruto and proceeded to scold. The dumby lived up to his blond hair that was for sure. A pathetic excuse for a ninja, why was he even in this class? I let out a soft sigh, he was an orphan as well, with the way he was there was no way he was related to me. I felt bad for him, he was an orphan, he had nobody. At least I had Sasuke for the last six or so years. Naruto is treated terribly by everyone in the village. Like I was and still am. Adults still give me that look. I figured it was because they knew about the seal on my stomach. I placed a hand over it, gripping at the mesh fabric that I wore above it. At least Naruto didn't have the cursed thing in him.

"..Fine! Because you missed it, Naruto, everyone will review the transformation jutsu!" Iruka yelled, pointing at the entire class, causing us all to groan. That ninny was wasting everyone's time why was he even here?

Getting into a line between the annoying blond and Sasuke. Sakura Haruno was up first, the little moron had no instinct when it came to actual fighting, she was smart when it came to the books, but when it came to fighting, she was lacking severely. Not someone I would want to be on a team with.

Of course she perfectly transformed into Iruka, then turned around once praised to Sasuke, "Sasuke, did you see that?" She questioned, being desperate to get noticed.

I elbowed Sasuke's side watching him be called up next going before me. Now he was someone I'd be perfectly fine with having on a team, even preferibly. He was smart, but had the instinct to fight, and was good at it. A bit slower than I was but he made up for it in his own way. He was the second fastest in the class, after me of course. I looked to everyone in the line who else would be a good fit? Not Naruto, the doofus wasn't much when it came to instinct or brains. Shikamaru, he was the total opposite of Naruto, smart, and lazy. Always taking his time, which I wouldn't mind, but with Sasuke or I he was just to slow, I doubt he'd keep up with either of us on our good days. Ino Yamanaka, she was smart a better fighter than Sakura, but not by much. Shino, he was a smart fighter, he was sneaky when it came down to it. He would be an alright fit for a teammate, Kiba, he was like Naruto, loud. But Kiba wasn't the best when it came to strategy, but he is a good fighter, that was for sure, him and Akamaru would be my third choices as a teammate, after Shino and Sasuke. Hinata, well. I didn't know anything about her. Aside from what everyone knew. She was of the Hyuga clan, one of the oldest, along with the Uchiha clan.

"Nyoko Namikaze" Walking up, taking the place of Sasuke, I placed my hands together in the sign, not uttering a word as I transformed, into Iruka perfectly. It was a basic jutsu, it wasn't a hard thing to do.

"Good" He praised, writing it down in his notes. I then went back to my seat. A note flying in front of me, I knew already who it was from, Sasuke. Opening it up it read;

Sushi for dinner?

I wrote back on it;

Sure my treat, who would the third teammate be?

I then tossed it back, sending it flying quickly, in time to see Naruto turn into a girl, that had clouds covering her bits, what-the-hell. I closed my eyes pinching the top of my nose in frustration. That idiot!

At the end of class, Sasuke and I walked out of the academy, once we were out of the academy we bolted quickly, to ditch his little fans. Making it to the training grounds, where we always trained. For our warm up we practice our hand to hand combat, throwing punches, kicks and blocking each other. At this point we didn't need to focus on it we could evade and attack each other as we weren't going try-hard at the moment, just going easy. As we talked.

"I don't think I'd be able to deal with anyone else on our team" he stated, answering my written question.

I smiled, blocking his punch before he could hit my stomach, "I don't know Shino, Kiba and Shikamaru, seem to be decent, Kiba is loud, Shikamarus is lazy."

"Shino is creepy" Sasuke added his thoughts.

I shrugged, "Well, who would you not want on the team?"

"Fan-girls" He retorted, with disgust.

We go on like this for awhile, stepping up to actually fighting, throwing jutsu's at each other, him able to get me under a genjutsu for ten minutes, before I bit my lip making myself bleed. Going at it till it got dark. Ending up sitting at my balcony with some sushi sitting on my table as we sat and ate.

"If we're for whatever reason not on the same team" I started, but I stopped at him rolling his eyes, I narrowed my eyes at him, "I'll knock those out of your skull, keep it up"

He smirked, taking another bite of his food, "You're not getting sentimental now are you?"

I rolled my eyes this time, "Suppose I am, is it so wrong, to ensure, the slim chance if we're not on a team, that we still make time for sushi?" plopping an eel cumber roll in my mouth.

"There will always be time for sushi, rice balls and tomatos" He stated simply, "I'd assume you'd be the one buying the sushi, as usual"

Nyoko Namikaze Point of View

Today was the day, I stared at myself in the full length mirror wearing my ninja outfit, and tying my scarlet red hair up into a high pony tail, lettings the hair that didn't go into it frame my face, with some green fabric, putting on my black gloves. Quickly I tossed on my grey and black mesh shorts and sleeveless shirt. pulling on a blue skirt that went down to my mid thigh, a bit longer than my fishnet shorts, if it was any longer it'd get in my way while I ran. The blue skirt had an orange band, and the orange symbol of the Namikaze clan. My clan.

I paired the skirt with a similar sleeveless top, that stopped a few inches under my chest, showing the fishnet shirt underneath it. Sitting on my bed I proceeded to wrap my feet and ankles with bandages. Grabbing my shoes and my weapon holster, in it plenty of shuriken, kunai three, scrolls and various other ninja tools. I then grabbed my messenger bag, that had in it my lunch and homework. Grabbing my shoes, I held onto them, going to my balcony, I jumped down, angling myself forward to fall onto a roof, rather than the ground. I then proceeded to dash forward, I was a bit late. Not that I was worried, I was agile, I was faster then my class. In more ways then just running.

Jumping of the final roof, I walked into the Academy. Walking down the hall, just as Iruka was walking down the hall his brow raised when he saw me.

"Nyoko, you're late" He stated the obvious.

I gave a sleepish smile, "I'm arriving the exact same time as you though sensei, so am I really late?" I then moved, quickly getting into the classroom, as he opened the door, I looked at him, "It appears I'm even in here before you. Walking in I saw the only open seat was in the same row as Ino Yamanaka. I walked with ease behind her seat, taking a seat next to the blond girl. Looking at Sasuke, he was in the row next to ours, with Sakura on his other side, Ino on this side.

"You've finally made it tomato head" She mumbled trying too offend me.

I yawned simply, not paying any attention to her, I knew why she didn't like me. The same reason Sakura and the majority of the other girls didn't, I was friends with Sasuke, and he was friends with me.

"When your name is called, proceed to the next classroom." Iruka instructed, us all, "The test is on the Clone Jutsu" I smiled at the news, it was going to be easy, it was a basic thing compared to the other types of clone jutsu in the world. The Shadow Clones being Konoha's made one, from the second Hokage.

They went in order of our last names. Shino was first. Then the fat kid, Choji Akimichi, then a handful of other students. This was going to take awhile.

Deciding to waste time I pulled out a parchment, writing in it;

Yakiniku's for celebration? Or another sushi night?

Folding it up, I slid it across the table, using some chakra, as always to make it go faster, and to basically zip to Sasuke's elbow, making his dark onyx eyes look my way, I didn't turn my head either, just looked ahead with my purple ones, with a smile on my face, so he knew it was from me. Ignoring the dirty looks I was getting from Ino, Sakura and the other girl, sitting next to me that noticed.

Sakura was called out next, as Sasuke glided the not back to me. Ino, who tried to grab it missed. Hitting her hand hard on the table, causing others to look. When Hinata left I decided to open the note it read;

You should pick up, sushi, the usual order for me.

I wrote down in the note;

Good luck, Sasu!

When my name was called I dropped it onto Sasuke's table, walking down out of the room and to the examination room. In the room were Iruka and another sensei I knew as Mizuki, he had shoulder-length white hair that had a blue gleam to it and green eyes.

"Nyoko Namikaze, we've been asked, to request you to show us if you can pull off the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu" Iruka stated, "the request of the elders, do you think you can create enough passable clones to fill this room?"

I nodded, "Of course I can" I didn't know if I could, I've only ever made three clones, I've never needed more then that, I put my hands together creating the clone seal, and the tiger seal, my chakra flowing as I focused on how many I figured I would need to fill this room, thirty five maybe?" I proceeded to make more of myself. Opening my eyes, proud to see plenty of clones were in front of me, behind me and on my sides, I smiled to myself, "Sweet" I whispered lightly, a few clones looking at me smiling.

"All right, now tell us what is the first rule of a Shinobi?" Mizuki asked.

Poofing my clones away I answered, "A Shinobi must always hold allegiance to their Kage."

Iruka then asked, "Rule thirteen?"

"When in danger a Shinobi must not reveal anything involuntary" I answered his question, no thought needed to go into it. I've read the rules more then enough.

"Rule twenty-two?" Mikzuki asked.

An easy rule, I was an orphan, I wasn't attached to much, the only person I was attached to was Sasuke,"A Shinobi must never show attachment."

"What is rule number four?" Mikzuki asked once more.

"A mission always comes first, no matter what. A Shinobi has a duty to their village, our client and mission. We must comply to everything regarding it." I paused, as they took notes, "A failed mission can mean a Shinobi will lose their rank because they're not fit for the level."

Iruka nodded, "good, now, what are the four A-Ranked Jutsu of the Leaf?"

"The Mystical Han Technique, that allows the ninja to heal wounds by focusing their own chakra into their hands. Chidori, A technique where the ninja using it grabs their wrist, and then collects enough chakra into their hand that it becomes visible to the human eyes. Dance of the Crescent Moon, a sword technique which creates two clones that attack simultaneously to confuse the opponent. And lastly the Multipule Shadow Clone Technique. As you saw creates clones, up into the three digits."

Iruka then smiled, "Correct, now preform what you think is your signature jutsu."

I raised a brow a bit curious, the other student's didn't take this long. But without argument, I proceeded to show my Body Flicker Technique, using just a tad bit more of my chakra, allowing me to move quicker. for the time I decided to rush to the table, grabbed one of the forehead protectors, pulling out a green fabric, that I was planning to put the leaf ninja metallic protector onto the green fabric, transferring from the blue original onto my green fabric, that matched my hair tie. Once secure I then tied my forehead protector around my forehead, I then walked over, tying the original blue fabric around Iruka's neck, making it into a bow. Returning to my spot in front of them, I then slowed down, going back to the normal speed of everyone else.

They both looked down at the table, once they noticed the forehead protector, Iruka grabbing the fabric around his neck. I smiled at them rubbing my forehead protector.

"I planned to use a green cloth that matched my hair" I stated simply, "So, do I pass?"

Mikzuki looked at Iruka, "It's safe to say she has, don't you think Iruka?"

Iruka nodded, but stared at me, "last question, why do you want to be a Shinobi?"

I took a moment to think about my words, then I proceeded to answer the question, "Becoming a Shinobi would earn me the respect and recognition of my village, as my fathers legacy."

Iruka nodded, smiling, "Well Nyoko Namikaze, you're officially a ninja as of now" He praised, "You may go."

When were dismissed aloud to leave, walking out I crossed my arms over my chest, hugging myself, holding myself as I watched as all of the other newly made Genin with their parents being congratulated, being shown affection, the kind I wouldn't be getting. Ever.

Most of the parents were giving me the look. The look of disgust, a few even instructing me to get lost. Quietly and quickly I made it through the crowd of people, that were around the door. I then saw the only person that didn't get a headband, Naruto.

"Isn't that the boy?" A woman asked.

"Yes, and that's the girl!" Another responded. I glared at them both, turning my head at them. I then walked out to the blond orphan, that sat on a swing, just gazing at the families, and those that graduated.

I leaned myself against the tree next to him, "It sucks." I whispered.

"What does?" He asked, with a hopeless tone.

"Them, being so terrible. It's as if being orphaned at birth makes us monsters." I answered him, I looked up at the Hokage face mountain, looking at the Fourths face, "Would they still treat us like this if our parents were around?"

"I don't think so, I don't think I would notice anyone else, if my parents were with me" He responded softly. I felt guilty, I knew at least whom my father was, a great ninja. A hero. Naruto however didn't know his. Then again, he didn't have to worry about the thought of being a jinchūriki. That masked man from years ago, he was right about my father. The nine tails had to be in me as well, why would he need to lie, what reason did he have to lie?

"You'll get it soon" I reassured him, changing the tone, smiling softly, "You just need to focus and prove you can become a ninja"

"How?" He questioned with a hopeless tone, not looking away from the parents, "I haven't wanted anything more then this, this is something I want, without it I have no other way to, get respect from everyone."

I blinked taken back, I didn't think he would want respect like I do, was it an orphan thing, wanting to be respected? With his childish ways, he just seemed to want attention, I tilted my head giving him a bigger smile, "Then don't give up, don't go back don't slack, keep fighting to become one." I then raised a thumb, "When you do I'll take you out to eat, my treat, deal?"

His turned his head towards me his, blue eyes seemed to have hope in them, he nodded, with a smile, "Sounds like a deal!"

I then spotted Sasuke walking out of the crowd, with a forehead protector on his forehead, with Ino and a few other of his stalkers, who was hovering around him, I looked back at Naruto, "I got to go, let me know when you get your headband, yeah?" I then walked away towards Sasuke.

He raised an eyebrow seeing me, "Ready to go?" with a nod, we then left, moving quickly, easily ditching his little fans. Instead of training we went straight to sitting on my balcony with sushi.

"What were you talking to Naruto about?" He asked out of the blue.

I looked at him, "trying to be nice is all, he is like me" I whispered softly.

He rolled his onyx eyes, "No, you're not." He assured me, not that I needed it, "If you were I probably wouldn't be sitting across you eating sushi."

"He's an orphan, looked at like a monster, but the majority of, if not all of the village, like I am. The only difference there, is I had you for over half a decade" I retorted smiling at him, "I was just being nice, that is all."

He just rolled his eyes, and we went on eating quietly, up till he left. Leaving me on my balcony. When it got dark. The moon high in the sky, I stared over the village, the village. I was no longer a child, I was a Genin, a ninja of the leaf now. Officially, I was a ninja. Are you proud of me? I looked to the stone face that was of my father. I'm a ninja, just like you. I'll become a great one, a true shinobi. I'll live up to your name, and surpass your legacy.

Something caught my attention, a bunch of ninja - Chūnin and higher ranking ones - hoping over roofs, towards the Hokage building. What was going on? With nothing better to do, I decided to go check it out. Jumping down from my balcony, moving quickly, till I got to the last roof, over looking the Hokage and the Shinobi that surrounded him, kneeling down I listened to them closely

"That scroll contains secrets that were sealed by the first Hokage!" One of the men below stated, "Secrets of our village!"

"If it falls into the wrong hands, they could destroy our entire way of life!" Another stated, as two familiar Chūnin, Iruka and Mizuki.

The Hokage finally spoke, what he said was shocking to me, "All right. Bring Naruto here at once, he then added, ." the ninja all left,

Naruto? What has that numskull stolen? I jumped down to the ground where the Hokage stood. He looked at me intently, as I walked closer to him.

"What's happened, Lord Third?" I demanded, wanting to know what happened.

"Nothing for you to worry about Nyoko, now go home and get some sleep" He ordered, when I didn't move he spoke once more, "Go, I mean it Nyoko, you shouldn't be out at this moment in time. Go home, lock your doors and stay there."

I glared at him, "Sir, with all do respect this is about Naruto, - "

"Nyoko, go home now!" He ordered, that's when a ninja, a familiar one with silver hair approached, "Kakashi, you're late" The Hokage hissed at the ninja.

Hearing his name I turned to look at the silver spiked haired ninja, I knew him, I recognized him from the night of the Uchiha massacre. He looked the same as before, with only his right eye showing, the rest of his face was covered.

"Lord Third, Nyoko" He greeted us.

"Your mission Kakashi, is to escort Nyoko home, and sit on her, she's not allowed to leave her home till I give the word, is that understood?" The Third ordered.

I glared at him, "Sir-"

"Go Nyoko Namikaze, now!" He ordered, making me glare at him harder, I would be more useful helping to find someone my own age, someone that was in the same class as I was, we were both orphan that are treated terribly, it couldn't have been easily me in Narutos situation, "Go, or I'll take your Genin level!" He barked.

With a sigh I nodded, jumping the way I came down as I ran, jumping roof to roof till reaching my balcony where I sat Kakashi leaned against the wall into my home, with a book out reading it.

I stared off into the forest, thinking of Naruto, hoping he was all right. Please, be okay Naruto.

"He will be fine, as long as he didn't give the scroll to anyone" Kakashi assured me.

I rolled my purple eyes, "he didn't steal it" I stated simply. "He wouldn't" He wasn't smart enough, I doubt he knew the scroll existed before it being given to him... The real question now was who stole it and gave it to Naruto?
