Kaira-chan: **Baking frantically**
Dark Kaira: ...She didn't know so many people would get it right O_o
Naruto: It was because of the helpful little hint, YK.
Dark Kaira: ... Oh shut up you.
Naruto: Kaira-chan doesn't own Naruto, thought she does own the girls team mates, and anyone else who doesn't show up in the show...
~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaede looked at her father. "Seriously?" She asked. Maybe Konohamaru would come! That is, if he wasn't already a Chunin.
Her father nodded. "You three are to begin training at once," Her father said. Kaede nodded.
She grabbed Shinji and Kurumishi by the hands, and dragged them out. She wanted to get as strong as she could. If Konohamaru came, she wanted to be able to show him what she was capable of...
"Naruto-Niisan, shouldn't we be going?" Konohamaru asked, watching Naruto eating Ramen at Ichiraku.
"We have plenty of time Konohamaru," Naruto smiled.
"But Naruto-Niisan! We want to look around the village a little bit before the exams start!" Konohamaru exclaimed.
Naruto finished the noodles with a slurp. "Ok then. Let's go!" Naruto said energetically. Moegi giggled. "Let's see if we can beat Sasuke's team there? Ok?" Naruto asked. Moegi, Udon and Konohamaru nodded, as the four of them set off.
"Hey! Dobe!" Naruto heard a voice behind him. He turned his head slightly, to see his Sasuke and his team just a little behind them.
Moegi glared at the girl in their group, Kotori. Kotori glared back, sticking out her tongue, the jumping up to the lead of their group.
"Sasuke," Naruto acknowledged.
Sasuke laughed. "I still can't believe that the Hokage actually let you become a Jounin, let alone have your own team."
"Naruto-niisan is a great teacher!" Konohamaru yelled at Sasuke.
This only cause Sasuke to laugh harder. "You don't even have them respecting you!"
Naruto glared at him. Sasuke looked behind him. "Shikato!" Sasuke barked.
"Yes Sasuke-sama?" One of the boys asked, jumping up beside Sasuke.
"Nothing, I was just proving a point," Sasuke grinned at Naruto.
Naruto glared in return, and for most of the trip there, they traveled side by side in silence.
"Naruto-niisan," Udon complained. "I'm hungry."
Naruto smiled. "You should've ate before we left," he joked, but jumped into a clearing all the same.
The others, including Sasuke and his team follow.
Naruto looked at Sasuke and his team, cocking an eyebrow.
"My teams tired too, but their to well trained to complain," Sasuke said. Naruto glared.
Naruto turned to Udon and Moegi. "You two, go get some wood, ok?" Naruto asked. He sat down, and pulled the bag he had on his back off. Sasuke sat beside him, and Konohamaru sat on the opposite side. On the other side of Sasuke sat Kotori, then Shikato, and then his final team member, Taka.
"So, what's been new with you? I haven't seen you much since we became Jounin," Sasuke said, leaning back.
"Yeah, I've been busy, training my team and...stuff," Naruto smiled. "How about you?"
"Same thing..." Sasuke answered. "I hear you and that Hinata girl are going out," Sasuke said.
"Yeah, we are. How about you? You going out with anyone?" Naruto asked.
Konohamaru sighed, and hugged his knees. Naruto looked at him, and made a mental note to talk to it about it when there weren't a lot of people around.
Naruto had a feeling it had to do with a certain female ninja that Konohamaru hadn't seen in seven years. This was Konohamaru's first Chunin exam, and he was probably hoping she would be there. They didn't know what village she had moved too, so it was pretty hard to keep in touch.
"No, I'm not going out with anyone. But I find it weird you're going out with Hinata. The one you always called 'weird' back when we where twelve," Sasuke said.
Naruto smiled and nodded, and at that moment, Moegi and Udon came back.
"Here you are Naruto," Udon said, he and Moegi dropping a pile of wood at their feet. They looked at Sasuke and Naruto, then at eachother.
"Weren't they giving each other death glares when we left?" Udon asked. Moegi nodded.
Naruto laughed. He and Sasuke did have a strange relationship, one of those love-hate ones.
"Sasuke, would you do the honors?" Naruto asked, gesturing to one of the piles.
Sasuke nodded, and used a fire jutsu to light it on fire. Naruto grinned. "Want to send one of your team mates to get some water?" Naruto asked. Sasuke looked at him blankly.
Naruto pulled some cups out of his bag. "I brought Ramen!"
Naruto sat in a tree, overlooking their campsite, and the surrounding area. Everyone was asleep, he was on watch. Well... nearly everyone was asleep.
He hissed from his perch. "Pssst! Konohamaru," He whispered. Konohamaru jerked up, and looked around.
He had been laying on the ground, looking to be asleep, but Naruto knew better. "Up here," He whispered loudly. Konohamaru looked up.
Naruto gestured, and Konoharmaru jumped into the tree. His ninja skills really had improved...
"Something the matter, small fry?" He asked when Konohamaru had joined him.
"No...nothing," The teenager answered.
Naruto tsked. "You can tell me you know. What's bothering you?" He asked.
"Do...do you think Kaede-chan will be there?" Konohamaru asked. "I mean, I know she's probably forgotten all about me, but, do you think she'll be there?"
Naruto smiled. "We'll have to see when we get there, won't we?" Naruto said.
Konohamaru nodded and smiled. "Do you think she's forgotten me?" He asked.
"How do you expect me to know?" Naruto said playfully, shoving Konohamaru alittle. "Now get to sleep, we've still got more traveling to do tomorrow."
Konohamaru smiled and nodded, and jumped out of the tree soundlessly. Then he lay down.
Naruto smiled down at him from the tree, took a look around, and then looked up at the stars in the sky.
"Hinata...I wish you were here," He sighed.
