CHAPTER TWO: NEW HOUSE, NEW FRIENDS?

Is that woman insane? Me, save this village from destruction, by becoming a ninja in less than 6 months? I am so far behind already; I could never catch up in time. I can't just leave them here helpless though either. I highly doubt that my efforts would be much help but I could add to the number of fighters…. Kisho, what should I do?

Jin was so caught up in her own thoughts she completely ignored Kakashi who was leaned against the building, an orange book in hand. He held up his hand lazily to say hello, but the young girl walked right past him, mumbling to herself.

"Yo" Jin was brought out of her thoughts as she saw the silver haired ninja infront of her.

Oh great, just what I need, a sarcastic, lazy, and extremely attractive ninja! Why are these people so weird? Popping out of thin air, scaring people like that!

"What do you want!" Jin stated a little more harsh than intended. Kakashi was surprised at her words.

"I am here to take you to your house, but if you would rather walk around by yourself that's fine too." Kakashi said emotionless as always. Jin was watching Kakashi's face she heard words but she did not understand a word. She needed to be alone to think things over.

"That's fine." Jin replied leaving kakashi standing alone in the middle of the street, looking confused and a little embarrassed. What just happened? Was I just ditched? This girl is something else.

Jin found herself roaming the streets of the colorful village watching the people go on with their lives and work. Little kids ran about the streets playing tag. There wasn't a calm spot to be found. It didn't help either that she was receiving both glares and stares. Then men of the village had acted like they had never seen a pair of legs before. One man even brought her a flower and professed his love to her. This didn't help her situation, this only mad people stare more. The women on the other hand were not as hospitable. They scoffed and made rude remarks about her clothing.

"Who does she think she is, wearing this kind of shorts in public" she heard one woman say. The younger girls were sending her daggers through their eyes. Jin would be dead if looks could kill.

Deciding to get away from the public eye she entered a ramen shop to her right. She took a seat and sighed at relief to see that no one was there.

"What can I get you?" a pretty girl said with her back turned towards Jin.

"Sake, please" As Jin waited for sake she had thought about what had just happened moments ago in the Hokage's office, "There's no way" she said aloud to herself.

Just then the blond haired boy came bursting in demanding ramen or there would be hell to pay. A boy with dark hair that accompanied the boy just rolled his eyes. Of course the old man had told him to shut up or he wouldn't a damn thing. That seemed to shut the boy up. Jin giggled at this, which didn't go unnoticed by the boy with blond hair.

"Hey! You're that girl from the Hokage's office!" Jin regretted letting herself be noticed. She turned to the boy and smiled "Naruto Uzumaki, right?" Naruto Beamed at her. He's like a little kid. She thought. "I didn't catch your name, sorry." Naruto didn't miss the chance to move right next her. Jin wasn't sure whether to be flattered by this or to just up and leave. She decided he was harmless.

"Miss" She turned to girl behind the counter to grab the sake. She poured herself a cup full and downed it like it was water. Naruto saw this and immediately thought of Tsunade and her LOVE for sake. He didn't dare say anything to offend this girl though.

"So what brings you to Konoha? I haven't seen you around. Where are you from?" he doesn't waste anytime jin thought. She smiled; she was greatful that she had someone to talk to other than herself. I was raised on the island east of here; I lived with the monks in the monastery. And as for me being in Konoha, the Hokage wants me to train with the top ninjas in the village." Jin's voice seemed to die off. How am I going to do this? She thought to herself. At this statement the boy with the black hair raised his head with interest

." GREAT! Then that means you'll be training with me! I'm one of the best if not the best ninja in this village!" Jin took another sip of sake as the loud man went on about his different techniques and his missions.

"So that's how I learned Resengan. So what about you? You must be a great ninja if she wants you to train with Konoha's top ninja. Do you have a blood line limit? What's your specialty, are you a medic or are you more into the hand to hand? Huh?"

Jin had never met someone so full of energy and SO many questions. They think I'm already a great ninja. I can't hold a candle to their skills. She sighed, and dropped her head, letting her bangs completely cover her face. "I have no ninja skills. I am a samurai trained by Kisho from the east, I don't have a bloodline limit, and I am not a medic. I am skilled with the sword and martial arts and that is it."

SHES NOT A NINJA! WHAT IS TSUNADE THINKING? SHE WON"T LAST TWO MINUTES WITH ANYONE OF US LET ALONE ON A MISSION!

Naruto thought to himself as he realized his gaping mouth had hurt the girl's pride. He was speechless, how was she supposed to become a ninja.

She downed the rest of her sake, and set it lightly back on the table. She brushed her long bangs to one side so they covered her right eye. She slowly got up and set money on the counter for the sake. She then turned to Naruto who had a confused and apologetic look on his face. "Thank you for the company Naruto, im sure I will see you around." And with that she walked out of the ramen shop leaving Naruto feeling guilty. He turned to the black haired boy, "A girl samurai? What was Tsunade thinking?" Saskue didn't say a word he just stared at the spot where the woman had sat. So she's the one Tsunade told me about. This should be interesting.

A poof of smoke was cause enough to make Jin let out a small yelp she stepped back in shock, her heart was pounding. This was too much in one day. The smoke cleared and Kakashi stepped towards her a serious look on his face. "Are you ready for me to take you home?" Jin was livid. He poufs out of mid air and scares me half to death just to take me home? What is wrong with these people?

" Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, but I have things to do and I would like to get this orientation over with." He leaned down to her height and looked at her with a questioning look. Jin calmed herself. "Don't feel that you have to escort me, you can simply tell me where it is and I can find it on my own. I wouldn't want to hold you up from anything important." Jin managed to stand her ground as to not appear nervous, which she certainly was. Kakashi straightened himself and put his hands into his pockets.

This girl isn't afraid to speak her mind but goes about it in a way as to not offend anyone. She has guts, I'll give her that, and those legs mmmmm. Kakashi let his eyes drop down and back up again, only to find a slightly annoyed brunette with her hands on her hips.

"your house is down this street, take a right and it's the first door on your left, on the 2nd floor, the one with the green door. The key is under the mat" He turned to leave and was walking away. Jin whispered a small thank you, not wanting him to hear her. She found her way to her new place.

The door was an emerald green. She lifted the mat to find a brass colored key. She put into the lock and turned the knob. The door swung open, Jin just stood there. She was sure she had the wrong place. She walked down a small hall way that led right into the living area. Hardwood floors covered the entire apartment.

In the living area there was a plush gold colored couch and a mahogany colored table place in front of it. On either end of the table there was a green armchair with dark colored paisleys planted all throughout the fabric. The bookcase in the corner had been well supplied. There were books on every subject, from medical books, to simple chakra use. Across the way was a small breakfast bar that was connected to the wall. At the end was the walk way to the kitchen.

The kitchen floor was white marble. There was a black fridge in the far corner and the left there was grey marble countertop that stretched all the way to the bar. All of the appliances were black. The cabinets decorated the room on both walls.

Down the hall there was a door to the right that opened to the bathroom. Aqua tile covered the floor on left there was a pedestal sink with a gigantic golden framed mirror with wall lights on either side. To the right was the glass shower. It had two doors that opened up. There was a small wall next to the shower that hid the porcelain toilet from view and on the far wall there was a door. Jin almost afraid to open it turned the handle to reveal a huge tub. It was at least 3 feet deep and about 6 feet across both ways.

Outside of the bathroom if you continued down the hall there was a door to the left. This was the master bedroom. Its floor was blanketed with a beige colored carpet. The walls of the room had been painted a golden yellow. A sleigh bed headboard framed the double sized mattress beautifully and was covered in white comforters and at least a dozen pillows. Covered in silks and other expensive materials.

This is the wrong room. This is too much for an apartment.

Jin ran to the door, and ran down the steps to the street and to the Hokages office. She was panting by the time she had reached the door. She took a minute get herself together and fix her hair. She knocked on the door. Almost immediately it was opened. Jin looked around to find a room full of men and women. All of them stared at her as is she had a giant spot on her face. Difficult ovaries

First on the left was a pink haired women with brilliant green eyes, she was of average height and was thin but her muscles were well pronounced to the right of her was a man with long dark hair and white eyes. He was a very slender man, not to say he wasn't well built he just gave of a more fragile appearance. Next to him was Naruto, Jin had only met him twice but was glad to see a familiar face amongst the crowd of strangers. . The silvered hair ninja, Kakashi was to the right of Naruto. Jin quickly moved her eyes to the next person; she was still feeling guilty about being so rude to him earlier in the day. Next to him was man dressed in a green jump suit of some sort, he had extremely bushy eyebrows which Jin thought looked like caterpillars, and right next to this man was a younger man who could easily be mistaken for his son. He also had bushy eyebrows and wore a green leotard. In the corner Jin noticed was the man she saw earlier at the ramen shop who accompanied Naruto, he has his hands in his pockets and just threw her a sideways glance. Jin found his aloofness to be attractive in the way she found Kakahi's nonchalant attitude charming.

After scanning the room, it was apparent that she had interrupted something. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to intrude. I just had a question for the Hokage." Jin was about to turn to leave when Tsunade stood from her desk and walked around it and across the room to greet Jin. "We were just going to send someone to get you" Jin looked at her with a puzzling look. "I would like you to meet a few people" Tsunade said and she herded Jin across the room. "This is Haruno Sakura; she specializes in the medical field." Sakura just stared at Jin with a look of disregard. "This is Hyuga Neji, his Byakugan is his bloodline limit, and this allows him to detect attacks from 360 degree view. He is also lethal with his tiijutsu. He is the most skilled in his field." Jin found Neji's stare to be extremely uncomfortable, it was almost as if he could see right through her. Jin bowed slightly to show her respect.

"I believe you have already met Naruto and have heard his "dream" of becoming hokage?" Tsunade rolled her eyes at the blond man in front of her. Jin smiled and raised her hand in casual hello. Naurto met her eyes and found himself blushing. Jin's eyes then fell upon Kakashi's one lazy looking eye. She just nodded in acknolegement as tsunade introduced them. Next were the two strange men dressed in green. "This is guy and his apprentice Rock Lee. They are masters of tiijutsu and know the true meaning of hard work. In unison both men winked and gave a big smile and a thumbs up. Jin could only suppress a laugh; they looked like a couple of clowns. They are masters of tiijutsu…haha!

Tsunade then introduced the dark looking man in the corner. "This is Uchiha Saskue." Jin founf his eyes rather frightening they were a dark onyx color, lifeless eyes. Tsunade went on "he is the last member of the Uchiha clan and possesses the Sharingan. He is one of the top ninjas throughout all of the Ninja nations.

He doesn't look that impressive. Jin thought to herself. She looked him up and down and just smiled. She went to meet his eyes but found his eyes tracing the curves of her legs.

"My eyes are up here." Jin said flatly. WHAT is it with these me!. They look at me as if I were a piece of meat. And this one, who does he think he is acting all high and mighty. He's just a ninja. Naruto bellowed out a laugh. Saskue glared in his direction and Naruto immediately shut his mouth. Saskue then found Jin's eyes. Only to find her giving him a "who do you think you are look" He smirked and just brushed it off as nothing. Tsunade could sense the tension and quickly avoided an argument. She pulled Jin close to her almost in a motherly way and walked her to the center of he room. "Everyone, this is Jin. She is here to train with us. She is to aid us in our time of need."

Hey wait a minute! I never agreed to do anything! I was supposed to be "thinking it over" These people just think they can do whatever they want.

Jin was about to let her anger known, when Tsunade revealed that she had no ninja skills and that they had less than 6 months to get her into shape. The under the breath chatter began almost immediately.

"You are to treat her with just as much respect as you do me. Jin is here because she wants to aid us in our victory. As such, we should treat her as a welcome guest."
"Jin these are the people that I will have you working with over the net few months. Each one is specialized in a different area of ninja tactics. You will spend two weeks with each and every one of them. They will teach you everything you need to know and will help you develop your skills." Jin looked at the people across the room. She found the eyes of the Uchiha, she found herself entranced by his black eyes. There was somethingaboutthis man. She didn't know if she liked it or found it completely repulsive.

"You are all dismissed. Sakura you will be here at 9 Monday morning for the first day of Jin's training."

Sakura nodded and joined the group of people that filed slowly out of the room.
Jin found herself overwhelmed. "Fifth, I came to talk to you about the housing arrangement. I think I have been given the wrong room. "Tsunade looked up "Is there something wrong with it? I had the best people prep the room for you. If you aren't comfortable we can always find a new place for you." Jin felt dumb now, of course they would give her such a lavish room, it was all apart of their plan to get her to stay.

"If you think that by putting me in a well furnished house is enough to make me stay here and go through your training, you are sadly mistaken." Jin put one of her hands on her hips, to show her agitation. Tsunade simply answered "We just wanted you to feel at home here in Konoha, with you having to leave your home, we hoped that by giving you a lavish room it would make your stay more enjoyable."

Jin once again was at a loss for words "sorry". "It's only natural for you too feel anxious, this is a lot to take in one day."

Jin wanted to yell at the women in front of her. Jin knew that he decision would b t agree to stay and strain there was never any doubt about that. She just wanted time to collect her thoughts and come to the conclusion herself instead of being put out there in front of a room full of strangers and being showed off like an exhibit of some sort.

"I think you should go home and get some rest. You've traveled quite a bit, and you start training the day after tomorrow. Be here at nine and not a minute later." Tsunade turned around in her chair so that her back now faced Jin. "You're free to go."
