Chapter 4

When they had finally reached Konoha, Tsuki's eyes swelled to the size of watermelons.

Wow! There are so many cool stuff here! Oooh, I want to do that and that oh and that one too! Oh and I want to buy this and that oh and I just have to get this one! Tsuki was exploding with happiness and was immediately filled with childish wonders.

Ugh, before we do any of that we have to first get our passports and papers verified by the Hokage. Sasuke said.

Oh, okay but I hope that it doesn't take long. Matte! There's was this really cute puppy over there! Oh I want to pet it! Tsuki said in a rush as she ran after the puppy.

Matte Tsuki! Where are you going! Get back here! You shouldn't get lost! Sasuke shouted to Tsuki trying to catch up with her.

Hello Puppy! I just want to pet you wait for me! Tsuki shouted to the frightened puppy. Then all of a sudden Tsuki accidentally bumped into someone.

Argh! Whoever did this is going to pay for knocking me down! Owie, now I have even more bruises, like I don't get enough bumps on the head from Sakura-chan. Said an extremely agitated Naruto but his expression changed when he saw the young girl.

Oof! Oh! Komenosai! Komenosai! I'm sorry if I bumped into you! It was just I was chasing after this really cute puppy I really wanted to pet but it kept on running so I went after it! I'm really sorry if I hurt you any way! Tsuki said as she begged for forgiveness. She hated having people mad at her.

Naw, Daizhoubudat. Its okay, I mean it was just an accident right? Naruto said succumbing to Tsuki's cute face.

Really? Tsuki asked with her signature crying puppy face.

Of course! I'm just fine! See? No bruises! A great ninja like me doesn't get hurt easily. Naruto grinned.

A great ninja? Tsuki questioned.

Yup! I'm going to be Hokage one day so everyone will respect me but before I do that, I need to train so I could find a friend of mine. Naruto said with a smug smile.

Who's your friend? Tsuki asked.

When Naruto was just about to answer, Sakura came running by.

Konichiwa Sakura-chan! Naruto said happy to see his friend cough cough crush cough.

Hi Naruto! Who's your little friend here? Sakura asked with suspicion.

Oh! We just bumped into each other and we started to talk! Her name is uh…um…ah…well I don't really know here name Naruto said with embarrassment.

Baka Naruto! Sakura said as she gave Naruto a good smack on the head. No wonder he's so slow sometimes. Loss of brain cells.

While Naruto sulked in the corner crying over the loss of his brain cells, Sakura introduced herself and Naruto.

Anyways, Sakura said, my name's Haruno Sakura and this baka here is named Uzumaki Naruto. What's your name?

Tsuki was about to say her real name until she remembered the identities they were supposed to keep. Oh um, my name is Fujiwara Maki.

It's nice to meet you Maki-chan Sakura said with a smile with a hand stretched out. Tsuki shook her hand and said the same.

Maki-chan, you aren't from around here are you? Sakura asked.

Hai, Tsuki answered.

Then we should get you to Tsunade's offices to verify your papers and passports. Sakura said.

Oh matte! I just realized I lost my brother somewhere. I must have lost him while chasing the puppy. Tsuki said. Ni-san must be very worried, plus he has all the papers and passports. What am I going to do! I can't find him in this huge village! I'm only one person! Tsuki said as her eyes began to water.

Aw, don't cry Sakura said as she tried to appease the crying adolescent. Naruto and I would be glad to help you!

Nani! Sakura-chan, I didn't say I was going to help! Naruto said, angry that he had no say in the matter.

Yes. You. Are. Naruto. Sakura said as she gave Naruto a menacing glace.

Hhhai Sakura-chan, Naruto mumbled. Just don't kill me.

I won't, just start making Kage-Bunshins so we can look for Maki-chans's older brother. Sakura said with authority.

Hai! Naruto said and in a puff of smoke, there were 5 Narutos.

Wow! How did you do that? Tsuki asked really surprised.

It's a really cool jutsu that allows me to make solid clones of myself. Naruto said with pride.

Okay, what does your older brother look like? Sakura asked.

Well, his hair and eye color are the same as mine and he's wearing a black short-sleeved shirt that's rather wide at the collar and white shorts. Oh and his name is Fujiwara Tobi.

Hn, Sakura thought. The clothes kinda remind me of someone.

Okay Sakura said making a mental picture in mind, Naruto send your clones to search on their own while you, Maki-chan and I look for Fujiwara-san together.

How come we have to go look together? Naruto asked as he sent out his clones.

Well, Sakura answered. I don't trust you going by yourself and someone has to go with Maki-chan but it also just so happens that I don't trust you to be alone with her.

Aw fine and Naruto gave in. But Sakura-chan doesn't have to be so bossy about it.

What did you say! Sakura was about to explode, she hated it when people called her bossy even if she really was sometimes.

Na na Nothing Sakura-chan, you are the most unbossiest person I know. Naruto said trying to get on Sakura's good side.

Good Sakura said with a smile and started to walk with Tsuki.

Man, Naruto thought, Sakura-chan's scary sometimes.

Is unbossiest even a word? Tsuki thought.

While Tsuki was meeting Sasuke's ex-best friends, Sasuke was trying to find Tsuki.

Urgh, where could that girl be? How stupid is she to just run off like that! This village is huge and its going to take forever to find her. Especially since I can't have certain people to see me or they might recognize me. Darn. Sasuke thought to himself.

Then the next thing he knew, Tsuki was running to him accompanied by the 2 people he didn't want to see at all.

Ni-san I found you like how a doggy finds their owner except I'm not a doggy. Tsuki said with glee. Oh and guess what? I made two new friends! They're so nice as to help me find you she said with a wide smile.

Oh great Sasuke thought. All that work trying to avoid them and all that work is wasted.

Nice to meet you Sakura said trying not to blush from the fact that Maki's brother is as cute as Maki herself. I think that we should take you to Hokage's office now to verify your papers and passports.

Okay! Tsuki said excited.

As they walked to Tsunade's office, Sakura was having thoughts race through her head.

Fujiwara-san is so cute! Inner Sakura thought.

But I shouldn't think that! Sakura said. I love Sasuke.

But come on! The guy left you unconscious on a bench and left you for revenge! He doesn't care about you. Inner Sakura said.

Not true! I mean he really does care about me! Don't you remember the time he told me not to enter the chunin exams because he didn't want me to get hurt! Sakura thought.

Oh come on! That was so long ago! Inner Sakura said getting annoyed by the fact that Sakura was so stubborn.

I still have feelings for Sasuke but I suppose it wouldn't hurt checking this guy out. Said Sakura as she gave in.

Chah! Inner Sakura said.

Um, Fujiwara-san, why are you and your sister here for? Sakura asked snapping back to reality.

Well, we came to visit a distant relative and to pick something up from him to give back to our other relatives back at home. Sasuke said trying not to be himself.

Oh, I see. Sakura thought as the group entered into Tsunade's office.

Kunichiwa Tsunade oba-chan! Naruto said.

Stop calling me that! Tsunade said with a temper. I'm not that old!

Yes you are! Aren't you 50 something by now? Naruto said trying to back himself up.

Argh, what do you guys want anyways? Tsunade said trying to control her temper.

Well, Tsunade-sensei, we have some friends here who would like to have their papers and passports verified. Sakura said.

Sensei? Sasuke thought, since when did Sakura get tutored by Tsunade? I couldn't have been away that long.

Oh great, more paperwork, Tsunade whined. Just hand them over so I can get this over with and you guys can go your merry way. After a few minutes of consecutive stamps, Tsunade was finished and handed the papers and passports back. Now off you go Tsunade said. Oh and by the way Sakura, did you finish your training for the day yet? Tsunade asked with a suspicious look on her face.

Of course! Sakura said with a reassuring smile, I cleared all the stages and was able to heal a few animals at the vet.

Tsunade was surprised that Sakura was so fast and efficient in her work. Well, Tsunade said, you have the rest of the day off.

Yatta! Sakura said! Now I can spend the rest of the day with my new friends!

Yeagh! Yeagh! Naruto said. I can show you around Konoha!

Oh great Sasuke thought sulking. The exact opposite of what he wanted to do.

Yay! Tsuki said with wide eyes and extreme enthusiasm. I would love a tour of this village! Its so cool! I can't wait!

Great Sasuke thought, neither can I he sighed.
