Of course, when Naruto and the others were going back to
Konohagakure, Kida decided to return to her old hometown. They were there
in surprisingly quick time. Naruto and Sakura were having a grand old
time telling her where everything was, but she was only half listening.
Kakashi nudged her side with his hand. "C'mon, we'd better inform Hokage
about you, huh?"
She nodded. "Hokage-sama. Hmm, I wonder if he'll remember me?"
"He's bound to."
-----
Kakashi stood to the Hokage, who was busy painting another large scroll. "Hokage-sama?"
He answered without turning around. "Yes, Kakashi, what is it?"
"I wanted to inform you that a former resident of Konohagakure has returned."
Hokage turned around and saw Kida as she kneeled on one knee. "Kida?"
She looked up and stood up. "Hiya Sarutobi-san!"
He smiled and stood up to face her. "You look so different now! Your parents would be proud."
Kakashi blinked and coughed. "Sir? I feel that it is necessary that we test her and see what level of ninja she is."
Hokage nodded. "Of course. Now then, Kida, we are going to perform a little test on you. It's basically to see how you will be used as a ninja. Kakashi, assemble some Chuunin and Jounin, also an ANBU."
Kakashi disappeared. Hokage approached her and nodded to a room. "Go there. We'll see how well you match up against our current ninja."
-----
Kakashi had gathered 3 Chuunin, 5 Jounin, and the expected 1 ANBU.
-----
Kakashi looked up impatiently at the clock. "They've been in there a long time. Should I check on them to see if they are done?"
Hokage nodded and puffed his pipe while Kakashi opened the door. A large cloud of smoke filled the room from the large amount of ninjitsu used. He coughed and squinted, trying to see something, and saw a single dark figure standing. As he approached, the smoke dissipated and he saw Kida panting, looking around at the current ninja on the ground. All of the opponents sent were on the floor.
Kakashi's eyes widened. "Wow."
"Very good, Kida. You did as well as I had anticipated." Hokage looked around. "You didn't-?"
Kida shook her head. "Knocked out, none dead. Oy that one in the mask put up a really good fight."
Kakashi sweatdropped. "The ANBU?"
She snapped her fingers and nodded. "Yeah, that's what they're called."
Hokage laughed. "Definitely worthy of ANBU/Jounin level. Now tell me, what kind of techniques did you use on all of them?"
She turned her arm over and revealed a black sign on her forearm. "I'm a Shadow Ninja, so I used a lot of shadow techniques." Hokage nodded.
"Of course. You may both go now."
Kakashi nodded as well as Kida, and they both headed out.
-----
Outside, they were greeted by Naruto. He seemed really excited about Kida staying. "Wow! You're gonna be an ANBU?! THAT'S AWESOME!"
Kakashi looked around. "Naruto, don't talk so loud. Anyways," he turned to Kida, "I'm gonna go get your stuff and put it in my house, okay?"
Kida nodded, and he jumped onto the roofs. She looked down at Naruto. "Yeah it is!"
He winked and gave her thumbs up. "You're like me! You're gonna do great, like an Uzumaki!"
Kida stopped moving. "What?"
Naruto blinked. "An Uzumaki, like me!"
Kida suddenly looked around. "Naruto, I, uh, I gotta go. I'll see you later." She ran back to Hokage's house.
-----
"He said his name is Uzumaki, Sarutobi! Why didn't you tell me?!"
Hokage puffed his pipe and looked down at the girl standing before him. "It was not necessary."
"It –IS- necessary! I have a right to know!" She stormed out of the hut, and Hokage sighed.
-----
Naruto looked up as Kida landed next to him. "Did I offend you or something?"
She blinked at him and shook her head. "Of course you didn't, Naruto. Uhm, Naruto, lets go for a walk."
"O-Okay."
They headed down the street.
"Naruto, you know the Nine Tailed Demon Fox resides within you. And you know that the Fourth Hokage sealed it within you, right?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you know what the Fourth's name was?"
"N-No?"
"It was Uzumaki, Naruto. Just like yours. And just like mine."
Naruto stared at her with his eyes bugging out of his head. "What?"
She sighed and stared at the ground. "Dad was so excited about you. All he talked about was how he could feel you were gonna be a boy. I came home the day after he and mom died, and after you were born. I kept looking for you, but I was told you were dead, Naruto." She looked down at him, crying. "And I'm so sorry, Naruto. I left you in a life all alone when I should have been there. I never dreamed you were still alive!"
Naruto stared up at her, and stood up hugging her. She hugged him too and kept saying. "I'm sorry, Naruto"
She nodded. "Hokage-sama. Hmm, I wonder if he'll remember me?"
"He's bound to."
