This the start of the next Arc in the story….The Wave Arc…this arc should last at a minimum…six chapters…hope their long…lol…yeah…GO! By the way, the Yamanichi's are now 12...

My name's...

Early next morning, Sasuke was walking along the training grounds. Though he had been followed for the last two months, he had grown fond of his home. He realized how much he had ignored three years ago. Orochimaru's dead...I'm closer to destroying Itachi forever...me and Naruto couldn't be better friends...and...I'm about to be Jounin...this is gr...good... Sasuke smiled and he walked away.

It was around 7:00 o'clock. Sasuke began to head for the gate. He had finished packing a long time ago. Fortunately, the old Sasuke still felt the urge to get their early...knowing that Naruto would be late anyway.

He saw someone wearing a blue shirt in front of him. He looked around twelve years old. He was wearing his equipment. Sasuke was curious. Wonder who he is... Walking up to the boy he said, "Hi."

The boy turned around. Sasuke continued, "My name is Sasuke..."

Sakura woke up around 7:15. She quietly got up, and began to pack all their stuff for the mission. They both thought about how cool it would be. Sakura wanted to know how it would feel to teach people who were as old as she was.

Rin wanted to meet new ninja. She just hoped that the famous medic-nin, Sakura Haruno, would be her siblings' and her guide. I hope it'll be a lot fun...I hope I learn a lot of new stuff as well...

The kunouichi finished packing, and she opened the door from her homes, and walked towards the gate of the village. Around 7:30, she saw a young girl who was wearing pink across the street.

Rin was very excited. She admired Sakura like a role-model, and she couldn't wait to meet her, when...there Sakura Haruno was...walking over to her...

Rin:OMG! THAT'S SAKURA!

Sakura: Wonder who she is...she looks like a genin...

She stopped, and said, "Hi. My name is Sakura..."

It was 8:15 when Naruto woke up. He yawned and began to stretch as he looked as his clock. Today's the mission...what time is it...hmm...eight fif...Naruto was alarmed...8:15! WHAT HE HECK! JEEZ! I HAVE TO STOP DOING THIS TO MYSELF...

Naruto jumped out of bed, and quickly grabbing his stuff jumped out of his window onto the roofs of the village, and began to run as fast he could to the village gate. A couple of roofs ahead of him, a young boy, around twelve, was jumping too. He was wearing a black shirt and seemed relatively fast for ...

He's pretty young...looks around twelve. Looks like he'll be on the mission with me, too...might as well get to know him before we leave... Naruto sped up and caught up to the genin.

"Hi," Naruto said, "I am Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki..."

"My name is..." the three genin began...

"Kai Yamanichi."-----------

"Rin Yamanichi."-----------

"Takeshi Yamanichi." ------

Having introduced themselves to each other, the three pairs made their way to the gate...or waited at the gate...and began to talk to each other...
"Your the boy who has the Mangekyou, right," Kai asked. "I saw you fight the blonde. Did you call him Naruto?"

"Yeah...to both of your questions," Sasuke replied. "Naruto's a very strong ninja-"

"Not as strong as you are," Kai interupted. "I've based part of my fighting style on what I saw. Your style is unique. It seems that you know what he's about to do before he does it.."

"That's actually what happens, thanks to my bloodline, the Sharingan. That's very impressive of someone your age to notice that," Sasuke complimented.

"I'm stronger then anyone my age," Kai grew a little cold. "I have to be...stupid people...like him... out there to ruin it..." he mumbled to himself. Sasuke thought he saw a glimpse of blue, green, AND red in his eyes...

Even though Sasuke couldn't here it, he got a sense of what Kai had just said. DEJA-VU...


Sakura and Rin were getting along very well. Rin's an excellent medical ninja. She knew quite a lot. Plus, her chakra control is quite advanced for a genin...probably greater then my own...

"So," Rin began, " what's it like being a full fledged ninja?"

Sakura frowned. "It's pretty hard. You have to fight all the time." She stopped, regretting what she said. "Nevermind, on the other hand, it's a lot of fun. You get to hang out with the people you really care about a lot more."

"That's true," Rin said. "I can't wait for the Chuunin Exams. I bet I could Ace it, easily."

Sakura smiled, but she thought to herself. The Chuunin Exams...everything changed then...we met Orochimaru...Sasuke began his defection...Naruto became the strongest ninja in the Rookie 9 and 8...so much happened...

All the same...stuff like that won't happen...we've got Naruto...AND Sasuke to make sure of that...they wouldn't want anyone to get hurt...plus...I'm gonna make sure I'm fighting right by their side...

The two kunouichi talked the rest of the way about GIRL stuff. At the gate, they, finally, met Kai and Sasuke...

Naruto and Takeshi had their talk, and surprisingly enough, they actually talked about being a ninja and stuff like that. Naruto pulled a mature one and told Takeshi that being a ninja was hard, but cool.

"Fighting for those you care for," Naruto began, "is the greatest thing you can do. Never let anyone hurt them, Takeshi. Cause when their hurt...or gone...your life doesn't matter anymore...it's all over..."

Takeshi, not surprisingly, just smiled. "No problem. I promise I won't let anything happen to them...And, I never go back on what I said. Like you, it's against my way of the ninja. When I say something, I keep it."

Naruto smiled. "Your not bad, kid. Your a lot more mature then I was at your age."

"Thanks," Takeshi looked around. "It's 8:45. We better stop walking and run."

"Leave it to me," naruto said smiling. He picked up Takeshi.

"What are you do-" Takeshi began. He yelled as Naruto ran faster then Takeshi thought physically possible.

Tsunade arrived at the gate at 8:46. ( Where's Naruto?) She smiled. " I told you he'd be late."

"What do you mean late?" A voice cried out from the roof top. A kunai landed in front of her, and a second later, Naruto, holding Takeshi, was standing in front of her. Takeshi looked he was about to barf. He climbed down Naruto and said:

"That's the last time you EVER carry me that fast," Takeshi huffed out. He collapsed and started breathing heavily.

The Yamanichi's just laughed at Takeshi, while everyone else just laughed at Naruto. When they finished, Tsunade told them to get started. Inari's mom showed up, and the door to the village opened.

"I'll see you guys in a month," Tsunade said. "And Naruto?"

"Yes, oba-chan," Naruto said.

"Don't use your Kekkai Genkai," she warned, "Only in an emergency, an extreme emergeny where not even Kyubi can pull you through..."
