Ch. 1: WWJD

"Ow! Hey! What was that for?!" a blonde ninja angrily yelled at his pink haired teammate. "That was for peeking in the girls locker room!" A blonde girl yelled from beside her. "Now get out of here!" The crowd of girls standing outside the locker room broke into an uproar of "Go away!" and "Yeah! Leave Perv!". Suddenly Naruto was running for his life from the angry mob of girls. "I'm sorry!" he yelled as he ran top speed towards the training grounds. As soon as he got there he jumped into the first tree he saw. The girls stood under the tree (still in their towels) and brandished their hair brushes and hair dryers. "And don't come back!" the pink haired ninja screamed as the mob headed back towards the locker room.

"Few, that was close," Naruto sighed as he rubbed the giant red welt on his cheek. He didn't think they would hit that hard. At least he got away before they could do any thing else to him. Naruto took that thought back, it might not be that bad being attacked by girls in bath towels. Naruto tried to formulate another way to sneak in, but coldn't think of anything. "Alright Naruto focus. Remember WWJD. What would Jiraiya do?" Naruto sat there thinking for a moment. "I've got it!"

Heather looked longingly at all the restaurants in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. She'd been out in the woods for two days and it starting to show. Her hair was matted and she was hungry. Suddenly she saw a huge crowd of girls running down the street. She waited in a shop window until they had all passed. Then she looked down the road from which the mob had come. "They looked pretty mad," the voice in Heather's head commented. "And most of them were wearing towels too. They probably came from a locker room of some sort." Heather nodded in agreement and set off in search of the locker rooms.

The shower felt so nice, and it was even better to get the whole room to herself. She pulled her favorite kimono out of her pack. It was light blue and had two orange koi fish swimming up its sides. After she had pulled it on and tied its light orange obi, she practiced her most begging faces in the mirror. "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" Heather asked as she admired herself. "Ha-ha-ha very funny," the voice said sarcastically. "You won't be laughing when you're hungry because you were to busy looking at yourself in the mirror." "Ugh! Don't say that. You'll make me remember," Heather said clutching her stomach, which growled obnoxiously.

Heather walked over to the restaurant she saw and gave the manager a pleading look. "Please sir, may I please have some food? I've been traveling and I haven't any money," she begged. "No food for beggars if you want food you'll have to pay for it," the manager said slapping Heather's hand. "It's alright Siffam I'll pay for her," said a strange man with white hair who was sitting at the counter. The manager rolled his eyes, but gave the cooks orders anyways. "Don't mind him he's always that way," the man said smiling at her. "You look like a nice girl. Here, have a seat." Heather nervously sat down on the stool next to his. There was something about this guy she seriously did not like. They both ate in silence. Heather practically swallowed her first serving of Ramen whole. While a cook refilled her bowl, she notice the man look over at her then turn back to his food and snicker. Then sundenly she felt a finger poke into her side. "Slap him!" the voice in her head screamed. "Slap him hard!" Heather instead calmly got up and left taking her refilled bowl with her. She had to find somewhere to eat away from that guy. Then she spotted a boy with blonde hair sitting all by himself at another Ramen stand. She quickly headed over and sat be him. The boy seemed extremely interested in his ramen, so Heather put down her bowl and started eating too. "Two more bowls please," the boy said holding his bowl in the air. As soon as the man behind the counter took the bowl away Naruto noticed Heather sitting next to him. "Oh hey, what are you doing here Tamari? I like the new outfit by the way," he said obviously a bit zoned out. "Tamari?" Heather repeated. "Oh sorry," the boy apologized. "I just thought for a second you kind of looked like her… So if you aren't Tamari what is your name?" "Heather."

"Nice to meet you I'm Naruto."

"Nice to meet you."

"So… where do you come from?"

"Oh, you know… just another village."

"Really? Cool! Are you here on business or just for fun?"

"Just for fun. Last place I traveled to was the Village hidden in the Mist."

"That's really cool, I've been there before too."

"Cool."

Heather was actually enjoying this conversation. Most people didn't talk to her because she was a bit of a prankster at home. She hardly even talked to her sisters that much. Now here she was talking to a complete stranger and having a blast. "Naruto," she said with just a bit of Ramen left in her bowl. "I'm glad I met you. You're much nicer than that weird guy over their." Naruto looked over at the stand she was pointing to. Then suddenly Naruto stood up from his chair. "Hey Jiraiya!" The man who Heather had talked to earlier turned around. Heather turned stone grey. "What do you want Naruto?" the man asked sounding a bit annoyed. "Nothing, I was just saying 'hi'." The man turned around and started laughing with some other men.

"You know him?" Heather asked Naruto in disbelief and hoping he would say no. "Yeah, he was my sensei for a while. He taght me almost all the cool stuff I know," Naruto explained. "I used to call him Pervy Sage." "That would explain a lot," Heather muttered under her breath. "What?" "Nothing. Um… I have to go." Heather got up and left. "Wow that was weird," Naruto said to himself then went back to eating.

Meanwhile, a cloaked figure silently passed through the streets of the Villiage Hidden in the Leaves. Covering its face was the distinct mask of the Anbu Black Ops. It held a map with notes scribbled all over it in its right hand, and on the top corner was a red circle and the name "Jiraiya".
