A/N: Hello again everyone, few things to say before the chapter gets started. Thank you to everyone who gave a review, special thanks to Chris who gave me some more tips on how to make my story better!

Chapter 4

Kiba winced as he heard the loudest scream in his life. "Man, and I thought Mom or Sis had loud screams..." Akamaru, who was placed in his jacket, whimpered softly while looking up at his master. "Yeah, you're right Akamaru, we should go see what happened." The two left the training grounds and followed the echoes of the scream to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Sakura, Ino, Tenten, and Hinata heard the same scream while doing their chores, and wondered what was going on. They all left quickly towards the hospital, each hoping that nothing had happened to any of the others.

Rock Lee and Neji, who were staying in the hospital after an sparring accident during training, located the room, and rushed in not even noticing the protesting ANBU. They found Naruto sprawled unconscious on the floor with a slight bit of blood coming out of his ears. The two genin thought the same thing while looking at the blonde, "This is bad..."

"Naruto-kun! Naruto-kun! What happened? Where is your fiery spirit of youth?" Lee cried out. Neji finally noticed a young girl that was sitting upright in the hospital bed.

Concerned about what happened to the girl, Neji slowly walked over to her and asked, "Are you the one that screamed, miss?" The girl trembled and did not respond, she simply continued to rock herself back and forth muttering something about being 13 years old. Neji sighed and sat down where Naruto had previously been. The Hyuuga put on a serious face, and quietly said, "Okay, tell me honestly, did Naruto try to do anything to you?" The girl froze and slowly turned her head to face Neji, then all of a sudden she began laughing.

"Na-Na-Naruto? You-you think Naruto tried to do something to me? HAHAHA! That's rich!" the girl began rolling around the bed, laughing so hard that she was crying. At first, Neji did not find it funny that this girl was not taking his question seriously, but as he soon thought of his energetic friend attempting to rape the poor girl he began laughing himself.

Lee on the other hand, was just getting Naruto to regain consciousness. "Naruto-kun? Naruto-kun, you are alright!" Lee cried, "THE POWER OF YOUTH PREVAILS AGAIN GAI-SENSEI!" Far away on a mission in the wind country, Maito Gai suddenly began to weep tears of joy for no apparent reason.

"Hey Fuzzy Eyebrows, you mind not shouting so damn loud in my ears?" Naruto muttered as he slowly stood up on his shaking legs. Kyuubi was wanting to rip Lee a new one too, since ear drums are so hard to repair even with his great demonic powers. Naruto and Lee saw Neji and Anko laughing hysterically about something so they began laughing too since it just felt like a much needed tension breaker. Everyone began to laugh even harder as Anko had rolled off the bed, and fell right on her ass,

exposing her kunai and shuriken panties temporarily before covering them up.

Kiba burst through the door with Sakura, Hinata, Ino, Tenten, Shikamaru, Chouji, and Shino in tow. Shino apparently had followed Kiba after hearing the scream as well, and Shikamaru and Chouji were eating at a restaurant as they saw Ino rush by and they followed her. Kiba flashed a large grin and said, "Yo guys!" Neji, Naruto, Lee, and Anko quickly became quiet. "What did I do?" he asked.

Sakura and Ino, pushed him out of the way running towards the purple-haired girl they saw on the ground next to the bed. "Hey, we have never seen you around before, did you just move to Konoha?" Ino asked.

"Well since you are new here, my name is Sakura!" the pink-haired kunoichi said giving a warm smile.

Unsure of what to say, Anko just stared at the two girls. "Um...I have always lived here..." Tenten came over and peered closely at the young girl, making her blush under the scrutiny of so many people.

"You know, I recognize your face from somewhere," Tenten said while tapping her cheek thoughtfully, "But I can't place the name...isn't it Anku, Anquo?"

"ARGH, why don't these kids fear me? I am the one and only Mitarashi Anko! I saw them practically shit themselves when I first appeared during the Chunnin Exam, and now they don't even so much as flinch!" Anko thought. "My name," the Jounin spoke through clenched teeth, "is Mitarashi Anko!"

Everyone in the room, except Naruto, gasped and Chouji stopped eating his chips for a split second before resuming. Ino practically screamed, "Oh wow Anko-san! Where did you learn such a high level genjutsu like Tsunade-sama? I would die to have that jutsu for my later years, so I may keep myself young and beautiful! Please teach me how to do it!" Anko merely stared in shock at the girl who had spoken faster than the speed of sound.

Shikamaru spoke up, "Don't worry, Anko-san, thats how Ino always talks, it's troublesome."

"Sorry to break it to you Ino, but this isn't genjutsu..." Anko said as she watched the young girl's fascination turn to surprise and then disappointment. Sakura, Shino, Neji, Hinata and Kiba quickly walked over to Anko and checked her to make sure. One by one they agreed, after each using their own abilities, that there was no trace of genjutsu being used. "Satisfied now?" Anko growled at the genin for making her feel like some sort of lab experiment. "Besides," she continued, "I suck ass compared to Kurenai-san or Tsunade-sama when it comes to genjutsu, it takes too much concentration, I just like to fight and see some blood!" With that statement, the girls backed away, afraid for their well-being, while Naruto and Kiba stayed nearby since they were use to close quarters combat and understood the adrenaline that comes after seeing blood.

Kyuubi even agreed, "Hey Kit, this girl ain't too bad, she has 'Killer' written all over her so she ain't some weakling like your precious Sakura-chan. I think you should go after her, she would be a good catch..." Kyuubi sent some images to Naruto that made his face turn red.

"GAH! Stop it you stupid fox, she is twice my age!" Naruto shouted back.

"Uh Kit, in case you haven't noticed, Anko is YOUR AGE NOW! Come on, you could get her, pretty easily in fact...heh heh heh. But seriously Kit, just spend more time with her and get to know her better, she would make a very good ally to have around, and plus she might be able to teach you some new jutsu." Kyuubi knew his jailer well, he could not resist the temptation of learning more jutsu.

"Hmm that is true, I think I will hang out with her then, it should be fun!" Naruto gave an inward fox-like grin as Kyuubi laughed at how easily he manipulated his Kit.

Meanwhile, Hinata was giving quick glances to Naruto, when he wasn't noticing, as he was staring into space. "His mind seems to be wandering again, I wonder why he has been doing that so much lately?" the young Hyuuga pondered. She noticed that his face had momentarily turned red as well. "I wonder what he was thinking about that made him turn red like that? Maybe...Maybe thoughts about a girl? I wonder who, though, since all of us are the room right now... Could he possibly be thinking about me?" A blush covered Hinata's face and she began to fidget with her two index fingers while looking out the window.

The door to the room had opened again, with Tsunade and Shizune entering cautiously. Tsunade was surprised as she saw that the rest of Naruto's friends had already arrived. "Shizune, if you would, please go check on Anko-san." the Hokage ordered.

"Right away, Tsunade-sama." She then left to give a quick check up to the Jounin. As Shizune pulled a cover around Anko in order to do the inspection, Tsunade called the rest of the genin over.

"I assume that everyone here has heard that scream?" Everyone nodded, Naruto painfully winced, trying to forget the pain that had been caused to his ears.

"Baa-chan, I don't think that Anko-san was in any pain, she was just extremely shocked at what had happened to her body."

"I understand Naruto," the Hokage replied, "But the rest of you do not understand why she is even in the hospital in the first place, correct?" Everyone nodded again. "Well, to give a quick summation, Anko was on a mission, something went wrong and we found her outside the northern gates severely wounded." A few ohs came from the group. "So now we are trying to find out why this happened."

"Tsunade-sama, Anko-san seems alright," Shizune and Anko walked over to where everyone was at.

Everyone became very quiet and gave quick glances towards Anko. Except Naruto. He just kept staring. The Hokage coughed, "Ahem, Naruto-kun we know that you are looking out for the best interests of your friends and comrades, but don't stare."

Blushing fiercely and backing himself to the wall, the blonde genin struggled to find an explanation, "Eh, erm, I was just trying to check if Anko had any unseen damage that Shizune-nee chan might have missed!" Everyone stared at the flustered boy, even Neji had cocked an eyebrow in amusement.

Tsunade coughed again to regain everyone's attention, "Ahem, so now that we know that you are alright Anko, let us hear exactly what happened on your reconnaissance mission if you will." Anko tapped her chin while looking up at the ceiling thoughtfully for awhile, everyone listening intently for what she was going to say, with silence reigning over the room.

"Well...I don't remember!" Anko replied with a cheerful grin. Everyone fell and began shouting about wanting to know. "Honestly guys, I don't remember!" Anko placed her hands in front of her while backing away.

Throughout the noise, Tsunade became frustated which eventually turned into anger, making a vein pulse in her forehead, she snapped and screamed, "CUT IT OUT!" The room became quiet once more. "Ah much better...Anyway, everyone, you are hereby dismissed and will not talk about Anko's mission with anyone. Furthermore, I want all of you to keep a close eye on her so she doesn't get into trouble. Right, Naruto?"

Naruto looked up at his baa-chan, "Eh? Why do you tell me that?" he shouted.

Tsunade sighed, "Because you were the one that made her scream in the first place, and you are the main troublemaker in the room!" Naruto quickly became silent and looked at the floor. "Now, even though Anko is now 13 again, this doesn't mean that she is not your superior, so you will still treat her with respect, got that?" Everyone gave an agreement. "Good, you may leave now."

Everyone left the room, chatting amongst themselves, except for Naruto and Anko. "Hey Anko, if you want, we can hang out today since I am free!" Naruto said with his trademark fox-like grin. "And maybe you can teach me some new jutsu as well, hehehe," He thought to himself happily.

Anko smiled and said slyly, "Are you sure you want to be seen with me Naruto-kun? After all, I am Mitarashi Anko, the former disciple of Orochimaru! Or do you mean," she said in fake amazement, "You want to go on a date?" The boy froze, not knowing what to think. Anko winked and replied, "I would love to kiddo! But first I am going to need some new clothes, so you are going to come with me to buy some new ones!" Still frozen in place, Naruto said nothing. Sighing heavily, Anko pulled on his arm and dragged him from the hospital to the clothes store.

Arriving at the clothes store, Naruto finally realized what was happening and began to wonder how this was going to work. "Hey Kyuubi, what do I do? I have never been on a date before!" Naruto begged his companion. "Well Kit, just go with the flow. Since she accepted, just hang out with her like you would any of your female friends." The fox replied with an unusual enthusiasm. "Hmm, so I should just let Anko-san buy clothes then go eat ramen and train?" the boy thought. "Ugh, Kit , you have a lot to learn about dating..." the fox replied while shaking his head sadly.

As Naruto thought about what his partner said, Anko began rushing throughout the store, finding things to try on, putting back the ones she didn't like, and placing what she did like in Naruto's arms. Soon, he was holding a gigantic tower of clothes that teetered ever few seconds. Naruto carefully walked over to the counter and placed the clothes down, giving the cashier a "Don't ask or I will severely hurt you" look. The cashier simply smiled brightly knowing there might be a bonus for her after having record sales for the day. Anko came out of the dressing room wearing some new clothes and grinned, saying, "You know, you are a pretty thoughtful guy, buying all these new clothes for me!" She was wearing a dark purple t-shirt that matched her hair, and beige shorts suitable for ninja since they had a lot of pockets to carry items.

Naruto simply frowned, looking into Gama-chan, his wallet, knowing that he would be able to afford it if he cut back on meals for the rest of his young life. He gave the cashier a wad of money and grabbed around 20 bags of clothing. Anko marched ahead, humming a cheerful tune with a smile on her face, leading him to her apartment where they dropped the clothes off. "Ah I feel so much better, don't you Naruto-kun?" Naruto hung his head sadly whimpering about Gama-chan. "I didn't expect to lose all of my money this quickly Kyuubi!" Naruto cried out to the fox. "Relax Kit, it will pay off in the end, trust me..." the fox answered giving an inward grin.

"So Naruto-kun, what do you want to do now?" Anko asked, cutting the boy from his thoughts. "Well, I figured we could do something fun!" Naruto exclaimed happily. Immediately, Anko was behind him whispering softly in his ear, "And what kind of fun would that be, Naruto-kun?" Naruto regret having said the word fun, but gulped and stared at the kunoichi. "Well, um, I was thinking about playing pranks on people like Kakashi-sensei..." Anko looked stunned for a second but smiled and said, "Alright lets do it! Let's get that perverted bastard!" Grinning, they sat at a table outside and came up with a plan on what they were going to do...
