Earlier that morning a new comer had stopped right outside Konoha's gates. She was a few inches taller than Naruto and had the same blue eyes as Naruto. She smiled as she looked at the gates in front of her. She was finally home after eighteen years of hiding out in the whirlpool village. Her red hair was pulled up into a ponytail that was then braided. Even with her hair being up and braided it still reached to just above the middle of her back. As for her body the only way to really describe her, well she looked like Naruto's infamous sexy jutsu. Her ninja gear included a chain mail body suit that was sleeveless and came down about half way on her thighs, a red mini skirt, and a white jacket with red flames and no sleeves over it. Her boots were exactly like Sakura's and she wore black wristbands on both wrists.
As she walked into Konoha, she noticed that much had changed since she last saw Konoha. She smiled looking at the shinobi sleeping in the guard post. He was no doubt a Nara.
'He must be Shikamaru. If I remembering things correctly, Shikamaru Nara and Naruto should be the same age and this boy is around eighteen or nineteen.' She thought.
She sighed. There was no point to walk around right now. Her first priority is going to see the Hokage. She quickly made the sign of ram as she disappeared from the gates.
Meanwhile, Lady Tsunade sat at her desk trying to make a dent in the paperwork that seemed to pile up overnight on her desk. She stretched as a knock came from her door.
'Could that be Naruto already? I know he's just glad to get another mission so fast.' Tsunade thought.
"Enter." Tsunade said as she put down her pen.
Tsunade's eyes widen as the door opened, "It can't be!" Tsunade yelled as she stood up slamming her hands on her desk. "Mai?!"
The girl, or rather the young lady, smiled as she closed the door. "Um, I must say this is a shocker for me as well Lady Tsunade."
She giggled nervously as she and Lady Tsunade stared at each other.
'I can't believe that Lady Tsunade still looks the same as she did when I left the village. Let alone the fifth Hokage at that. I wonder if Naruto looks like father even more?' Mai thought.
"Well this is unexpected seeing you alive eighteen years later, Mai Namikaze." Tsunade said as she sat down.
"I know, but I…" Mai's smile faded, "Somehow I just knew that if I came back right away it would just be that much more painful for me to grow up. Besides I've had some time to myself to develop my ninja abilities and mature on my own." Mai gave Tsunade a goofy grin just like Naruto's.
Tsunade laughed, "I understand. I suppose you have some reason for coming back or were you just homesick?"
Mai sighed, "A little of both I guess. I didn't think that my baby brother would ever be a target for a group of evil ninja."
"So you do know about the Atasuki?" Tsunade asked.
"Yeah, how can I not? With one of my old teammates being a member of it." Mai sighed.
"I hope you are ready for a reunion with your brother soon." Tsunade mentioned.
"How soon do you mean?" Mai raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, any minute Naruto is supposed to come here for his next mission." Tsunade informed her. "I would suggest you use his last name."
"I figured I would use Uzumaki instead of Namikaze. " Mai nodded her head.
Meanwhile, Naruto on his way to Tsunade's office, decided to stop for some breakfast, which made him later than he wanted to be.
"Great me and my big stomach." Naruto muttered as he ran towards Tsunade's office. "Now I'm an hour late. Oh well, maybe I won't be the last one to get there."
Naruto didn't even bother to knock before he barged into the office. Naruto found himself inside Lady Tsunade's office staring right in the eyes of his sexy jutsu. Mai didn't think that she would be seeing her bother so soon. She like him found herself at a lost of words.
'I can't believe how much he looks like Father.' Mai thought as she stood staring at Naruto.
"Um, sorry I'm late Gandma Tsunade." Naruto smiled the same grin Mai gave her earlier. "So am I escorting her back home?"
"I guess you could say that, Naruto." Tsunade smiled at him "Naruto I would like you to meet Mai Uzumaki."
"Eh?! Uzumaki?!" Naruto gasped at Mai's name. "What kind of joke is this, Gandma Tsunade?"
"It's no joke Naruto. Mai is your older sister." Tsunade informed him. "She was thought to be dead, but as you can see she is very much alive."
"No way! Why wasn't I told I had a sister?!" Naruto demanded.
"Geez, didn't you listen to Lady Tsunade? She just told you that they thought I was dead cause I never came home after your birth." Mai rolled her eyes at her idiotic brother.
"Great I have an older sister who is like Sakura." Naruto whined.
Mai laughed, "Well I hope this Sakura chick has kept you in check Naru."
Naruto glared at her, "Don't call me Naru. My name is Naruto!"
"Touchy a bit are we?" Mai smiled at him. "So what ya say to getting some ramen and get to know each other?"
"No thank you I'm full and Lady Tsunade has a mission for me." Naruto rudely told Mai. "But it was a pleasure to meet you Mai."
Before Tsunade could chew out Naruto there was another knock on the door. "Enter!"
"You called for us, Lady Tsunade?" Standing in the doorway was two Kunoichi.
Mai smiled at them. One had pink hair and emerald green eyes while the other one's hair was more of a brownish pink and her eyes were aqua green. Even there outfits were quite different. The strawberry brown haired had a light green one strap shirt, green shorts with a pink skirt that was split into four panels, white elbow guards, and light green trimmed in green legwarmers. The other had on a sleeveless dark pink shirt, black shorts with a similar tan skirt as the strawberry brown's, tan elbow guards, and ninja boots just like Mai's. If the strawberry brown haired Kunoichi had let down her hair they could be mistaken as twins. Even the bands of their headbands were the same color, red.
"Wow if I didn't know better I would think that you two are twins." Mai laughed causing Sakura to laugh with her and Kimiko to glare at her.
Kimiko leaned over towards Naruto, "So is that the client?"
"Not exactly." Naruto started.
"Kimiko, Sakura I would like you to meet Mai Uzumaki." Lady Tsunade introduced Mai to the girls.
"Oh, and how are you related to this loser?" Kimiko pointed a finger towards Naruto.
"Hey! Kimiko, you know that only Sasuke can call me that!" Naruto fumed.
"Naru is my baby brother!" Mai cheerfully told them.
"Naru?" Sakura laughed at Mai's nickname for Naruto as she looked over at the angry orange clad ninja. "That's actually cuter than any of Naruto's usual nicknames. Well Mai it's nice to meet you. I'm Sakura Haruno, Naruto's female squad member."
Mai smiled back at Sakura, "Well didn't my brother get off lucky having such a beautiful teammate."
About then Naruto burst, "Oh just forget this! Grandma Tsunade just call me when you have a real mission for me to go on! Till then I'm off to train by myself!" Naruto yelled as he stormed out of the office.
"Naruto!" Sakura and Lady Tsunade yelled after him.
Kimiko smiled sadly at Mai, "Sorry about that Naruto's just been alone with no real family for so long that he really doesn't know how to handle this."
Mai nodded her head as she watched Kimiko run after Naruto.
