(Bell's Point Of View)
Running... He was always running...
"You little demon! Down show your freakish face here again!" Angry Voices shouted at him, but he kept running. He kept his head down with his golden hair whisking in the air.
They started throwing sharp rocks which hit his arms and legs. They were throwing rocks because he was running to fast for them to catch him at the pace he is going.
My eyes narrowed because I knew that this always happened to him and this was the only treatment they gave him other then glares and calling him a brat or demon.
I see him turn and try to face the crowd of villagers, but right before he was going to say something, a giant rock hits him in the head which made him fall down with a hard thud.
I could see the blood falling from his face from the impact from the rock that hit his head.
The villagers caught up to him, but right before they touched him, I sent out a gust of wind which made them turn around to see me in an Anbu mask which made them freak out.
"Anbu-san! We weren't doing anything wrong... we were just trying to get rid of the dem..." I sent out another gust of wind which made villagers fall down and run away.
I start to walk up to Naruto and he starts freaking out, like I was going to hurt him. I slowly came into his line of sight and he saw my mask and called out my Anbu name which was "Risu".
I knelled down and hugged him as he hugged me back. We were about the same size but thanks to my strength, I was able to give him a piggy back ride.
"Why do you wear a mask all the time?" He asked me for which I giggled. "Naruto... haven't you learned about Anbu in the Academy? We wear the mask in pride to show that we protect our village... also, we just want to mysterious!"
He laughed and said, "Then can you tell me your real name?" I shook my head, "That's classified, Naruto, sorry..." He sighed but agreed and laid his head on my shoulder then spoke.
"I will get to see your face and know your real name, dattebayo. That's a promise!" I giggled at his promise as I walked up the stairs to his apartment.
I took out the spare key from my pocket and put it in the key slot then opened the door. I walked over to his room and laid him on his bed.
I went to his bathroom and grabbed the medical kit so I could treat Naruto's wounds. I came back to his room to see him on his bed looking out the window then smiled at me when I came into the room.
I told him to take off his shirt which made him blush, which confused but he did anyways and I saw bruises of when the rocks hit his torso. Luckily, I got there in time before they did any damage.
I put a special cream on his wounds then I lifted up his pant legs so I could look at his legs. They were also very bruised so I put cream on that as well.
I then looked at his head to see a deep wound near the forehead so I hurry and grabbed a rag and some water so I could clean it. He mumbled about it hurt which made me giggle.
I finished cleaning it, then I put bandages around it so it could heal. Though, knowing Naruto, it would all be healed by morning, thanks to the Nine Tailed Fox.
I put his shirt back on him then I tucked him into bed and was about to leave until I heard him say, "No, come back, I love you!"
I stopped in my tracks and turned to look at him with a smile on my face that he couldn't see. "I thought you love that Sakura girl?" He shook his head.
"I only pretend to love her! I really love you, and when I get to know you and your name, we will get married!" My heart was pounding out of my chest as he said those words.
It was true. I was in love with this little knuckle head since I started watching him but I was in Anbu, I wasn't able to do anything with him except to watch over him.
I walked over to him and lifted up my mask enough that I could kiss him on the forehead and he still wouldn't see my face. "Goodnight, Naruto..."
With that, I left him to sleep and I went to talk to the Hokage.
Once I made it to the Hokage Tower, I waited outside his window, until he called me in. We did this often, since I didn't like going through the door and seeing all those people.
I teleported in and knelled down in front of him for which he told me to stand. "So, how is Naruto doing?" I shook my head in disappointment which made him sigh and asked for my report.
"Sir, there were about fifteen villagers who attacked him... they chased him for an hour but finally got to him by throwing a rock at his head... I was able to stop them before any more damage happened."
He took a puff from his pipe and asked me if I healed him for which I nodded and he told me that I was dismissed, but I didn't move.
He looked at me with confusion and asked what was wrong. I knelled back down and look down as well, "Sir, is there anyway that I can protect Naruto, to be closer to him?"
He told me to stand and to take off my mask for which I slowly stood and took off my mask. He smiled at me, "Its better to talk to you when there is nothing covering that beautiful face of yours..."
I blushed at his comment and looked down in embarrassment. He rubbed his chin, thinking as I looked back at him with a straight face.
"So you want to be closer to him... any reason why?" I looked down as my heart began to race and I said that I just wanted to protect him better.
I looked back up at him and he was giving me a strange look for which I looked confused but put back my straight face.
"Alright, if you want to protect him so badly, then you can become a student at the Academy where Naruto will be staying. You will become a Genin with him, but you must keep your identity a secret."
I nodded with a smile but then I looked at my clothes to see that I only owned Anbu clothes. Lord Hokage smiled at me then laughed at my predicament.
"I will get you a fresh set of clothes at eight o'clock sharp, an hour before school starts, okay?" I smiled and nodded.
He motioned me to come over to him so I walked over to him and was sitting in his lap as he pet my hair. "I'm glad that you are going to the Academy. Now you can make friends your age and be with your crush as well."
I looked up at him and asked how he knew and he poked my nose, "I know everything, Bell." I hummed. "I haven't heard anyone call me by that name since came to the Anbu."
He hummed as well then made me look at him. "Well, from now on, you will be Bell Ciera! Got it?" I nodded as I thought of my new code name. Bell Ciera... Beauty Angel... I love it.
I jumped off his lap as I saw that it was ten o'clock so I had to check on Naruto before I went to bed so I said goodbye to Lord Hokage then I shushuned to Naruto's Apartment.
I looked through his window to see his hands over his head like he is on a roller coaster and his blanket spewed around him.
I shushuned into his room so I could put the blanket on top of him then kissed him on the forehead and teleported home.
Once I was in my apartment, I took off my sweaty clothes and put them in the washer to be cleaned. I put on a tank top and shorts then laid on my bed.
I laid there, thinking of what transpired tonight.
First off, Naruto said he loved me! Probably if he knew me without the mask on though then he would change his mind... Second, I am joining the Academy!
This would be my first time being around people my age except for Naruto so I didn't know what to expect but I knew that I was going to have a good time.
With that... I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
**********Time skip brought to you by this being the first time skip of the series!**********
I woke up to my alarm clock going off which made me groan but I was able to roll over and turn it off. I got out of bed and I took a shower which relaxed my aching bones from yesterday.
After my shower, I put on my Anbu clothing and put on my mask because that is the only type of clothing I have.
I looked at the clock to see that it was seven thirty, so I had thirty more minutes before I had to leave and grab my Academy needs from the Hokage.
I decided that I would go check on Naruto to make sure that he is okay.
Teleporting to his apartment window, I see that he is at the kitchen table, eating a piece of toast and some milk. I smiled, knowing that he was okay, so I didn't have to worry.
I ran across the buildings till I got to the Hokage Office for which I teleported inside and knelled down in front of him.
He hummed as he looked outside, "You arrive here at eight o'clock sharp every time, Risu, amazing." I giggled at his remark and he turned to look at me.
"Take off your mask Risu and face me properly." I stood and took off my mask then shook my head to get the hair out of my face.
He smiled at me as I was about to turn in my mask but he stopped me. "I still want you to look over Naruto at night, and do some off missions, okay?" I nodded and put my mask on my belt.
He nodded his head as he stood up and went over to the closet that was in the corner of the office. He opened it and I could see three out fits. "I want you to choose one then I will make copies of that out fit, got it?"
I nodded as I looked at each outfit.
The first one was a light brown and had a bowl shaped hood that covered the bottom half of your face. It kind of reminded me of the Aburame clan.
The second one was quite revealing so I knew that I wasn't going to choose that one.
The last one was somthing that caught my eye. It was a light blue out fit with boots that up to my thighs which made me proud to wear them.
I pointed at them and jumped up and down like I was a little child on sugar which made Lord Hokage laugh and take the out fit out of the closet and give it to me.
I ordered him to turn around so he wouldn't see me change which made him chuckle but turned around anyway.
I took off my Anbu clothes so I was just in the same shorts and tank top that I wore to bed last night. I put the fish net on first then the top of the out fit. Next I put on my new pair of shorts and my thigh high boots.
I told Lord Hokage to turn around and when he did he gasped and said, "Now I remember why I gave you the code name Bell Ciera..." I giggled and walked over to the mirror that was next to the closet.
I gasped as I saw myself for the first time in five years because Anbu weren't allowed to take off their masks.
I saw that I had light blue eyes that stuck out and straight black hair that went down to my shoulder blades. My face was a heart shape which got my thinking of who my parents were and who I got it from/.
I smiled, getting the depressing thought of my parents out of my head, and turned to see Lord Hokage pulling somthing out of his pocket. He pulled out something and put it in my hair so I looked in the mirror and gasped.
It was a blue flower that had two bead lines coming from the bottom. I turned and bowed, giving him my thanks.
Once I stood up, I felt a pair of arms wrapped around me which made my eyes widen. I have only gotten hugs from Naruto and that's when he has a nightmare or something along those lines.
I slowly put my arms around him and was there for about three seconds until the door opens and I heard a voice that I never wanted to hear again... Lord Danzo.
"What on earth is going on here? Risu, your supposed to be on duty, not playing dress up with the Hokage!" The Hokage stood and I stood behind him in fear.
"Danzo, she is not playing dress up. Bell is getting for an undercover mission at the Academy to protect Naruto Uzumaki." Danzo scoffed, "Bell? What kind of code name is that?"
The Hokage sighed as he walked over to his desk and told me to follow. He put me on his lap and spoke, "I chose that name because of her utter beauty... the kind of beauty that you cannot see, Danzo."
He scoffed then left the room which made me release the air that I didn't know I was holding.
The Hokage pulled out a bandage from his desk and told me to put this on over my Anbu Tattoo so no one would know. I nodded and wrapped it around the tattoo so no one could see and I looked at the sky to see that it was eight thirty.
"I'm sorry, Lord Hokage, but I need to head to the Academy now!" He nodded and told me that the teacher already knows that I'm coming to room B-3 then took me off his lap and I ran out the door.
Once I was outside the Hokage mansion, I walked through the streets of Konoha.
This was the first time in years since I walked like a normal kid in the village.
I see many of the villagers gossiping about me like they were jealous of me for some reason.
I finally made it to the Academy right when the bell rang for the kids to get to class. I walked to room B-3 and lightly knocked on the door for a masculine voice to say to come in.
Once I walked in, the kids were all standing up like they were in an army which confused me but I kept walking until I was in the middle of the room where the teacher was standing.
He took out his hand for me to shake for which I did told me his name. "Welcome to room B-3! My name is Iruka Umino and I will be your home room teacher. Please introduce yourself to the class!"
I looked away from the teacher and bowed to the class. "Hello! My name is Bell Ciera! Please take care of me!" I looked back up to see the class whispering about me which confused me but I ignored it.
"Alright Bell, you are going to sit next to Hinata Hyuuga then we will start our lesson... Hinata, please raise your hand!"
I see a girl with short, dark blue hair raise her hand at the top of the stairs so I walked up to her and took the vacant seat next to her then listened to what Iruka-sensei had to say.
He was talking about how Chakra is formed then looked at me. "Bell, could you tell us what Chakra is?" I nodded and took a deep breathe in and started to speak.
"Chakra is essential to even the most basic technique. Through various methods, the most common of which is hand signs, Chakra can be controlled and manipulated to create an effect that would not be possible otherwise, such as walking on water, exhaling fire, or creating illusions. Chakra is ordinarily not visible to the unaided eye unless it is highly concentrated or manifested in large amounts. This is rarely seen due to the restrictions of eight specific tenketsu known as the Eight Gates, which limit the amount of Chakra an individual can release at a single given time."
All the kids looked shocked from my explanation which took me by surprise because I would think that they would know this by now. Iruka-sensei smiled at me and continued his lesson.
Two hours later, the bell rang for lunch and my eyes widen because I remembered that I didn't bring a lunch so I looked down all depressed.
I felt someone tap my shoulder so I looked up to see Hinata looking at me with a curious look. "D-Did you forget your l-lunch?" I nodded and she opened up her bento and I could see that it was a nicely made lunch that was bigger then usual bento's.
She said that we could share so I smiled and stuck out my hand and she shyly grabbed it. "I don't think we have properly met, my name is Bell... Your Hinata right?"
She nodded and we let go of hands for which I smiled. "Do you want to be friends?" She looked shocked for a second then smiled and nodded.
We walked outside to where I saw Naruto on a swing all by himself so I asked Hinata if we could go meet him. She started to blush but nodded which made me smile.
We walked over to Naruto see him sadly looking at the ground as he sat on the swing. I said hello which made him fall off the swing in surprise then got mad and asked what the their problem was.
I looked down and scratched my head in apology. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I just want to say hello!"
He looked shocked but it quickly disappeared as he also rubbed the back of his neck in apology.
I reached out my hand to help him then I started to introduce myself. "Hello, my name is Bell Ciera! What's your name!" It felt wrong to ask that because I already knew more about him then he did himself.
He scoffed then pointed to his chest. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm going to be Hokage one day, believe it!" I nodded and told him that I believed it which made him shocked so I asked him what was wrong.
"Well, no one has ever told me that they have believed me before... its just stange..." I shook my head and told him that he seemed cabable enough to be one which made him laugh.
"You sound like my body guard, Risu!" My eyes went wide and I started to sweat while Hinata asked who that was.
"Oh that's my personal Anbu that watches over me! I am going to marry her once I get to know her and her name!" I was now really sweating and Naruto asked if I was okay.
I nodded and I said that I just need to sit down for which he sat me on the swing. Hinata looked at me strangely but then opened her Bento and gave me half while she had the other half.
I gave some to Naruto because he also forgot his lunch then the bell rang and Naruto ran inside.
I was packing up Hinata's lunch until she stopped me and asked me why I was freaking out when he was talking about Risu.
I gulped then took her hands and looked straight at her. "Your my best friend in the whole world, right! So I can trust you with a big secret, right!" She looked shocked but then slowly nodded.
I sighed and slowly took off my bandage to show my Anbu Tattoo. She gasped, knowing what it was, but I spoke for her. "That's right, I'm Risu... the Anbu child."
She was shocked as I wrapped it back up so no one could see it. She asked me why I was here at the Academy if I was an Anbu. I looked at her and sighed.
"I am on an undercover mission to protect Naruto... you must not tell anyone, not even Naruto because I will get in a lot of trouble, got it!" She quickly nodded then looked down.
H-He said that h-he want's to m-marry you... i-is that true..." I sighed and nodded and she slowly asked me if wanted the same which made me look down guilty.
"Yes... I... I have loved him ever since I started watching over him at the age of five... You like him to, don't you..." She slowly nodded and I smiled. "Well that's another reason we should be best friends, Hinata!"
We both giggled as we heard our name being called back into the classroom so we followed our teacher back into the academy...
I am happy now... I was a strong warrior with a best friend and a crush that I get to hang out with every day!
This is my life now... and I will cherish it... forever...
