Flashback
"Naruto-sensei! Who are these people?!" the eight-year-old girl said as she ran towards her sensei. Naruto was standing next to a man with raven bangs covering one of his eyes, and next to him was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy who looked very much like Naruto. The man seemed surprised to see the girl.
"Granny put Pervy Sage and me in charge of watching these two, but Pervy Sage ran away and left me in charge. The strangers said they're traveling performers, but granny said they looked suspicious, so I have to follow them everywhere they go", Naruto replied to her. The little girl had golden-brown skin, red eyes, and blue-black hair in big, puffy pigtails. She passed by the two, intensely scrutinizing them before speaking to her sensei.
"I'm looking for Konohamaru. My mom said we are moving back to Iwagakure because there was an emergency, so I have to say bye! I have to say bye to you too!" she said to the blonde
"Oh. I'm going to miss you, Kazue. Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon said they were going to the woods to practice! Bye, Kazue! I hope to see you again!" her friend told her.
"Goodbye, Sensei! Next time I see you, I hope you are Hokage!" she told her young friend. She waved at him then took another look at the two strangers while frowning before running off to find her other friends.
Now
I was moving back to Konoha after 20 years away. I had decided to move there after my first book failed in independent distribution. My friend/ former agent told me that Konoha was a far more modern city, and I would have a better market to sell my books. It also had better publishing companies. I had been traveling to villages all over the Five Great Shinobi Countries and collecting children's stories. I wanted to become an author after researching my family history. I discovered the rumors linked to my family may have been correct. Stories circulated about the Second Hokage who had once lived in the village before becoming Hokage. He fell in love with a woman during his stay. He was called back to the Land of Fire suddenly and never saw the woman again. He didn't know that the woman was carrying his child, who she named Ryu Senjurama. Ryu became a Shinobi Hero in the Land of Earth and became an advisor to the Tsuchikage. His descendants carried great jutsu, and some were known for their Wood Release. The Senjurama Clan produced several strong shinobi and kunoichi who received outstanding honors during the Great Ninja Wars, but most were posthumous honors.
The clan slowly disappeared, lost to the various wars, until my father became the last man of the Senjurama Clan. One of our most distinctive features were the red eyes and red tattoos on our faces. The tattoos were a rite of passage for members of the Senjurama Clan. All of us would get marked once we passed our Chunin exams to symbolize that we took the first step towards continuing our legacy as great ninjas. My parents were already gone by the time I passed my Chunin exams. Still, at the time, I was set on becoming a great shinobi just like my parents, so I got the tattoos on my face. I also got it as a symbol that I was the last of the Senjurama and the last to carry that tradition.
I had started writing down all the stories I could find about Tobirama Senju told by the people in my village. Afterward, I started thinking of how I could take the tales and create a collection of children's picture books based on the Senjurama Clan history. I was able to find an independent publisher, but my first book did not do that well. After eight years of traveling, I had finally collected enough stories to start a series of shinobi hero children's books. I was also good at drawing and included pictures with my writing. Once I found a new agent in Konoha, I would try to get my book republished to a bigger market.
Before getting to Konoha, I decided to stop by the Ridge Tower to look at the scenery and sketch while I was up there. I stepped into the building and made my way up the stairs to the rooftop. I opened the door to the top of the tower, and there stood a man dressed in an all-black cloak with raven bangs covering one of his eyes.
"Can I help you?" the man said to me.
"I'm sorry. I didn't realize there was someone else up here. I just came up here to sketch before going to Konoha. I hope I'm not intruding", I said to the man. He looked to be around my age, a bit older. His visible eye was just as dark as his hair, and he had no expression on his face, but despite that looked really handsome.
"I am meeting a friend here. We'll be sure to get out of your way once he arrives", he said, then went silent. He was looking at my hair, which I realized was a bit messy, but I had been traveling all day, so that was expected. I pushed some of the loose curls behind my ears.
"I'm Kazue. Don't mind my hair too much. I've been traveling all day. I was just moving back to Konoha and decided to stop by here. Have we met before? There's something really familiar about you", I said as I extended my hand. He pushed aside his cloak and showed his missing arm.
"Sorry," I said, then switched the hands I extended.
"Sasuke. I don't believe I remember meeting you," he said, shaking my hand. He had warm hands.
"Oh. It was probably someone who looked like you. Sorry about that," I said. I placed my bag on the ground and pulled out my sketchbook and pencils. It was a cloudy day, and the sun was shining between some of the clouds, creating a beautiful effect on the scenery. I let my ponytail loose and gave my scalp a quick massage.
"Beautiful," I said to myself as I looked at the scenery, then opened an empty page in my sketchpad. I was about to start sketching when someone else appeared on the roof, startling me. The second man had blonde hair, blue eyes and was wearing the Hokage cloak.
"Naruto-sensei?" I said inquiringly
"I didn't realize there was someone else up here. Hello, I don't think I know you. I haven't been called sensei since I was a kid," he said.
"It's me, Kazue! You used to teach me, Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon, a couple of jutsus. I think we were eight or nine. I had two huge puffy ponytails. Let's see if I remember your best jutsu…" I said. "SEXY JUTSU!" I said, then at once transformed into a handsome, naked, male version of myself with a rose stem on my mouth.
"Yes! Kazue! Heh. I see you still remember that jutsu", he said while laughing awkwardly. Sasuke had a semi amused look on his face.
"Who could forget! I never could find a use for it in the real world. It was good practice on concentration for shadow clones. Got me up to three wood clones and three copies of other people".
"So, are you just stopping by Konoha?"
"I'm trying to get my book published, so I'm moving back! My friend/former agent said Konoha was the best place to look for agents with more influence, so here I am! Wow, I remember the last time I saw you; I told you the next time I see, I hoped you would be Hokage. Looks like you did! Wait, am I supposed to bow? Curtsy?" I asked humorously
"No. No need to do that. I'm just Naruto", he said as he gave me a closed eye smile while scratching the back of his head.
"Well, you must be the friend he was talking about, so I'll leave you to your meeting. I'm just here to sketch, so don't let me interrupt whatever the meeting is. It's good to see you again, Naruto-sensei. Really nice to meet you, Sasuke", I said and shook his hand again, lingering a bit longer than I should have.
"Stop by my office when you make it to Konoha. I'd like to catch up. I'll let Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon know you're moving back", Naruto said
"Will do! See you later, then!" I nodded and smiled at both, lingering on Sasuke's face for a bit longer than I should have, and bit my bottom lip before turning back to my sketching.
Sasuke POV
I sent a message to Naruto telling him to meet me at the Ridge Tower at noon. The time was close to noon, so he could be arriving at any minute. I heard someone open the door. A woman opened the door and walked through, then noticed me.
"Can I help you?" I asked her. She looked quite a bit younger than me, with black hair, red eyes, and red tattoos on her face. She had her hair tied in a ponytail with long curly hair and some loose strands around her face and that she pushed behind her ears. She looked a bit tired, and judging from her luggage, she was, but that didn't change the fact that she was beautiful. She was carrying what looked to be a big travel bag.
She apologized for intruding and said she was there to sketch. She had a sweet, calming but also cheerful voice. She said her name was Kazue and apologized for her hair. She also said she was moving back to Konoha and stopped here. I don't believe I remember her living here, but she said I seemed familiar. I definitely would have remembered meeting her. Maybe she lived here after I left the village. I'll have to move my meeting with Naruto elsewhere. She searched through her bag and pulled out a sketchpad and pencil. She then let her ponytail loose, and her curls cascaded beautifully down her back. She then massaged her scalp, then opened her sketchbook. It was almost filled to the last page. I wondered what she was sketching.
She turned around and looked over to the horizon and whispered something to herself. Right as I was about to ask what she said to continue talking to her, Naruto appeared. She looked startled at his appearance, then looked at him like she knew him.
"Naruto-sensei?" she said. Sensei? Since when had Naruto taught anyone. She said he used to teach her jutsus when she was eight and showed us Naruto's sexy jutsu. That stupid jutsu he used to distract Kaguya. That means she's at least 27 or 28. She looked younger than that. She looked even more attractive with her curls down. She was also a writer. I might have to look into what she has published. She told us to continue with our meeting then shook my hand again. Her hand was soft and warm. She held my hand a bit longer, but I didn't mind too much. As she was saying goodbye, she also looked into my eyes, then blushed and bit her lip. I'll have to avoid her. Her gaze and smile were stirring up feelings within me that I shouldn't have. Naruto and I went downstairs, and she turned around and went back to sketching.
"Looks like, at your age, you still have fangirls," Naruto said while laughing.
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, come on, Sasuke! You cannot be that blind! She was clearly very attracted to you. What did she say to you before I got there?"
"She just introduced herself and shook my hand."
"The way she was looking at you when she said bye. I can't imagine Sakura seeing her looking at you like that, especially with Kazue being that attractive and younger".
"Let's just go back to what we were meeting to talk about."
"Interesting. No response. So, you do think Kazue is attractive?"
"I'm not going to respond to that. We are here to talk about what I've learned so far about Kaguya".
I gave Naruto my updates and told him to apologize to Sakura for me. I took one final look at the girl on top of the tower, then decided to clear her out of my mind.
