"We're here!" Naruto shouts as they approach the gate

The rest of the team, including Kakashi and Tazuna, were already there before the twins.

"What took you two so long?" Sakura asks annoyedly

"Sorry it took me awhile to find my clothes" Aika apologizes

Sasuke glances at her "your clothes aren't important"

"but I look cute don't I?" Aika runs up to him

"hm" Sasuke nods

"I got the Sasuke approval" Aika cheers and Sasuke rolls his eyes

"what about me Sasuke?" Sakura asks hopefully

Sasuke just ignores her and takes Aika's bag "I'll carry it for you, your stupid brother shouldn't have made you carry it"

"Don't baby me" Aika pouts

"your hair will get in the way idiot" Sasuke scolds "I thought you put your hair in twin-tails"

"I usually do but I didn't have time" Aika looks away

"don't be stupid" Sasuke takes ties and puts her hair in her usual twin-tails "that'll help keep your hair back"

"will you stop being all friendly with her!" Naruto shouts at Sasuke

"I'm just looking out for her unlike you" Sasuke replies annoyed

"excuse me everyone" Kakashi calls out "if you're all ready let's head out"

"Alright let's go!" Naruto shout's happily

"What are you so excited about?" Sakura questions

"cause, I've never left the village before" Naruto says

"This is our first time leaving" Aika smiles

The group heads out into the forest and begin walking.

"Aika look at that" Naruto points to something excitedly and Aika runs over

Tazuna turns to look at Kakashi "Hey! Am I really going to be safe with these brats?"

"haha" Kakashi laughs nervously "well I am a jounin, don't worry"

"Hey old man! Don't mess with ninjas!" Naruto shouts at Tazuna "I'm incredible! One day I will become Hokage! My name is Naruto Uzumaki! Remember it!"

"Hokage is the village's #1 ninja and the most respected" Tazuna replies taking a sip of his sake "I doubt someone like you could become it"

"Shut up! I am prepared to do anything to become Hokage! Once I become Hokage, you will acknowledge me!" Naruto shouts

"yeah you tell him!" Aika shouts

"not you too" Sasuke grumbles "can you get any more annoying"

"oh yeah, a lot more" Aika walks beside him

Tazuna takes a sip of his drink "even if you did become Hokage, I'd still never acknowledge you"

Aika and Naruto growl in annoyance.

"You are dead!" Naruto shouts, lunging at him

"I said no" Kakashi grabs him by the collar "you little dunce"

The group began walking again with Naruto in front, Sasuke mostly kept quiet except for when stopping Aika from wondering off.

"Um, Mr. Tazuna?" Sakura turns to him

"what now?" he asks

"You come from the lad of the waves right?" Sakura asks

"What of it?" Tazuna questions

"Kakashi Sensei, are their ninja in that country too?" She asks

"no not in the land of the waves. But, as a general rule, even with all the differences that exist in local customs and cultures.." Kakashi looks at the group "most other lands have their own hidden village where a ninja clan resides"

Kakashi continues on to explain more but Aika got distracted by a puddle in the middle of the road. She looks up at the clear sky and looks back at it confused. She had her suspicions but just to make sure she stepped in it and she could feel a wave of chakra from it.

'damn it, I was hoping I wasn't right'

Sasuke pulls her out of the puddle "Idiot, if it's obvious that it's there don't step straight in it"

"Sorry sorry" Aika rubs her head then glances at Kakashi

The group continued walking.

"Hey idiot, try to teach your sister more useful things" Sasuke says to Naruto

"What! Are you trying to say I don't know how to take care of my sister?!" Naruto shouts

"That's exactly what I'm saying" Sasuke replies annoyed "why else do you think she always ran to play with me when she was a kid"

"Aika you ditched me for Sasuke" Naruto sulks

"Only when you were busy" Aika defends

"I didn't even know you two were friends" Naruto says

"Maybe if you weren't such a moron you would've payed more attention to her" Sasuke looks forward

"ugh" Naruto sulks

"it's alright Naru" Aika pats his back

Aike felt a higher level of chakra emitting from behind them and she quickly turned around. At that moment two ninja jumped up from behind and binds Kakashi with shuriken-laced chains, before pulling and ripping him apart.

The group screams "Kakashi Sensei!"

The two ninja appear behind Naruto.

"Naruto!" Aika shouts "Move!"

Sasuke quickly jumps forward and traps their chains with a shuriken. He then grabs them and kicks them forward, breaking their chains. One of the two continue to go after Naruto and Sasuke as the other one switch targets to Tazuna.

Sakura quickly stands in front of Tazuna, Aika's eyes turn red as she runs in and kicks the ninja full force into a tree. As the two ninja go to attack once more Kakashi appears and stops both of them.

"I'm sorry Naruto I should have helped you sooner before you were injured" Kakashi says "It never occurred to me that you would freeze up" he turns to the other genin "Good job Sasuke, Aika, Sakura"

As Aika examined the two ninja, Sasuke said something to Naruto that seemed to piss him off.

Aika turns to them "Sasuke please don't infuriate my brother, now's not the time for fighting, their claws are poisoned. We have to clean Naruto's wound as soon as possible"

"Yes, very good observation" Kakashi compliments then turns to Naruto "If we cut it open more deeply, the blood flow will wash the poison away. For now, keep as still as possible, so the poison doesn't spread" he turns to Tazuna "Mr. Tazuna"

"wha.. what is it?" Tazuna asks nervously

"I need to speak with you" Kakashi says

As Kakashi talks to Tazuna Aika runs over to Naruto.

"Does it hurt?" she asks worried

"a-a little bit" Naruto says

"don't worry, we'll take care of it" Aika assures him "you'll be alright"

"I know" Naruto looks down

Aika looks over at Kakashi as he turns to them

"Hm.." Kakashi looks at the two "Do we go back now so we can make certain Naruto receives medical treatment..?"

Naruto growls in frustration before taking out a kunai and stabbing his wound with it.

"Naruto!" Aika shouts worriedly

Naruto turns and looks at Kakashi "with this kunai knife, I promise you, I will protect the old man" he smirks "reporting, fit for duty Kakashi Sensei"

"Big brother you're so cool" Aika says admiringly

'...what is wrong with these siblings' Kakashi thinks to himself

"Naruto" Kakashi says "we needed a free flow of blood to clean the poison from your wound.. but you've exceeded the need" he smiles "you could bleed to death, I'm serious"

"What!" Aika and Naruto panic

"Show me your hand" Kakashi walks over to him

Naruto puts his hand out as him and his sister continue to panic. Kakashi stares at the wound.

"It's alright, isn't it?" Naruto asks scared "I mean.. you know.."

"It looks like you'll be fine" Kakashi says as he bandages it

Kakashi looks over at Aika who's eyes were back to her normal blue color.

"These two siblings..." Kakashi mumbles "what a strange pair"

"What?" Naruto looks at him

"nothing" Kakashi smiles "just talking to myself"

"that's a bit strange sensei" Aika laughs

"not any stranger then you two" Kakashi says

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Naruto and Aika shout together

Sasuke stares at Aika 'her eyes did it again, they changed to red'
