The group of girls, led by Naruto, were walking through the village. Naruto was pointing out various places along the way.

"Back there, where you came in, there's a forest where I train. If anyone wants to come and watch, feel free." He wiggled his eyebrows, "OOH! And right there, that's my favorite place in the whole world." Naruto stopped in front of a small building and grinned, "Ichiraku Ramen!"

The complex appeared small. There were banners covering the top half of the front opening, and you could see people from the waist down. Naruto started walking toward the ramen when Dalton grabbed the cuff of his jumpsuit.

"You're supposed to be taking us to your leader, little squirt."

Naruto pouted, "Oh yeah..."

He started to walk again, but stopped.

"Hey! I know a way to get there faster!" He turned around and smiled, "This'll be your first lesson to becoming a ninja. Running!"

"Uh, dork? We know how to run," Amanda pointed out.

"Pfft," Naruto waved his hand, "The way normal people run wastes energy, and takes twice as long to get to your destination. If you just leave your arms behind you," he demonstrated, "You'll go twice as fast!"

The girls looked at him suspiciously, but copied his movement.

"Ok, now...GO!"

Naruto took off, followed by the mildly shocked girls.

"Holy crap! It works!" Frankie yelled excitedly. She turned to her right to see that Hunter was running normally.

"Why don't you run like a ninja Hunter-chan?"

She grunted.

"I don't listen to blondes."

"B-but I'm a blonde..." Frankie sniffed, "You don't listen to me?"

"Mm...No."

A few minutes later, they found themselves outside the door of the Konoha ruler. Naruto knocked. "Come in," a voice called out. So they did.

First of all, no one thought it would be a girl leader. She was at her desk, which had stacks of paper on it, drinking sake (alcohol). She looked up at the girls.

"So this is the group I sent out for, huh?" The Hokage slurred slightly.

"Yes ma'am," Dalton stepped forward, "I'm Dalton, their escorter."

She nodded. He then pointed to each one of the girls and introduced them. She chuckled quietly.

"Oh, by the way, that's Granny Tsunade," Naruto blurted out, and the girls jumped. Everyone had forgotten he was there, since he had been quiet for once.

Tsunade shook her head at Naruto, then looked back to the girls and smirked.

"Of course, no one's going to call me that, right?"

The group shook their heads vigorously.

"Good." She stood up and walked out from behind her desk, "You lot shall refer to me as Hokage. That's it. Got it?"

"Yes ma'am," They said in unison.

Tsunade clapped her hands together, "Great! Now it's time to put you all in squads." She got to her door and turned around, "Shizune, tell the four genin leaders I want them to meet me outside the Academy. They're getting new team members."

Shizune is Tsunade's assistant, just so you know.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama!" She saluted her and ran out of the room.

Tsunade looked at them, "Coming?" Then she walked out the door. The group anxiously followed.
