Yeah just a little note here! Okay so Kimiko is my OC for Naruto she is the same age as Neji, Lee, and Tenten. Also I don't own Naruto, just the story and OC's! I think I forgot this last time. Now let's go! Also it's set after Naruto returns and meets Sai, Yamato, and Sasuke, again.
The three friends clashed among the buildings and trees of there home. They stopped right by the foot of the forest. Three ninja stood there panting to catch their breath before they continued. The blonde let out a sigh as he looked up at his strawberry brown haired Kunoichi friend.
"Stopping in a tree, eh Kimiko? What ya hoping for? The high ground for part two." Naruto teased.
Kimiko laughed, "Not hardly if you remember I'm not about to lose to you and Lee."
The black bowl cut ninja let out a deep breath, "Ah but we have the lead."
Kimiko smiled as she turned her back to them, "Ah that you do so I get a head start on part two! Later!" She waved at them and vanished into the trees.
"Darn, I hate when she does that." Naruto muttered as he jumped up into the trees with Lee and the two took off after Kimiko.
Kimiko stopped at the memorial stone only to see Naruto's silver haired sensei, Kakashi. She smiled at the sight. Unlike her thoughts from earlier, she knew that no one forgot Naruto's eighteenth birthday. They were preparing his party.
"Well?" The one eyed Jonin was now looking at Kimiko.
"He's on his way with Lee right now." Kimiko answered him.
With in a second Naruto and Lee arrived. "Eh?! Kakashi-Sensei what are you doing here?" Naruto was confused.
Kakashi sighed, "Naruto what is today?"
"It's October 22." Naruto answered his sensei with a raised eyebrow.
"Exactly, more importantly it's your birthday isn't it?" Kakashi nodded his head at Naruto's answer.
"Yeah but you forgot!" Naruto yelled at him.
Kimiko and Lee started laughing at him. "What?!"
"Naruto what's the one thing Kakashi is known for?" Lee asked him.
"Being the copy ninja." Naruto shrugged.
"No, well yes but in this village." Kimiko shook her head.
"Oh being late! Which means this is my birthday…" Naruto looked up from the ground to see everyone there.
"Happy Birthday, Naruto!" they yelled at him.
Naruto felt so warm inside, and he also felt the tears welding up in his eyes, "Thanks so much everyone!"
Lady Tsunade walked up to him with a box in her hand, "A birthday is never complete with out a gift."
She handed the box to Naruto. "But Grandma Tsunade."
"Go on open it Naruto."
Naruto opened up the box to find a Chunin vest inside of it. Naruto couldn't belief his eyes this had to be a dream. He pulled it out of the box and put it on. If it was a dream he didn't want to wake up. Did he really become one step closer to becoming Hokage?
"This isn't a joke right Lady Tsunade?" Naruto looked up at her.
Lady Tsunade smiled at him. "I'm not that cruel Naruto, and no it's not a dream."
"Congratulations Naruto." Sakura smiled at him.
The Next Day
Naruto woke up with a head ache. He sat up and realized that yesterday wasn't a dream do to the Chunin vest he had fallen asleep in.
"Oh yeah! I'm a Chunin now!" he yelled as he pumped his fists into the air. "Watch out now Sasuke. I'm a whole level stronger than you now." As the words left his lips he sighed.
Naruto put on a smile as he walked outside. He locked his door and rushed off to Lady Tsunade's office to see what was so important that it couldn't wait a few more days.
