Naruto was slurping up some ramen, Before he started his day with no missions. It was going to be boriiiing.

"Why be a ninja when I can't go on missions.." Naruto grumbled through his mouth full of food "Grandma Tsunade doesn't know what she's talking about"

He huffed and puffed his chest out "I don't need a day off!" Naruto yelled proudly as he remembered Tsunade's speech about how he was working himself too hard blah blah blah.

"I'll show her working too hard.." He mumbled as he slurped up more ramen.

"I'm sure, Naruto-san" Blue eyes looked up at the source of the female voice, Naruto watched as the red head sat next to him "..Eh.. Who're you?" He asked eying her suspiciously, The teen chuckled.

"It's understandable that you forgot me, I'm Sierra" Sierra smiled warmly as she ordered some beef ramen, Naruto watched her confused before realization dawned on him.

"Oh! Sierra! You're the girl that I had to escort for a mission!" Naruto looked over her. Her red hair had grown to her waist "Your hair is longer than Neji's now!"

Sierra chuckled "Yea, It has gotten longer I suppose." She looked over him while she smiled "You've gotten taller, I bet you've gotten stronger too" She began to eat her ramen gracefully.

"Hah, Yea!" Naruto laughed out as he finished his ramen, Sierra had finished her's quickly. Naruto walked out while talking to Sierra about his recent missions.

"You mean.. Chiyo-sama had brought Gaara-sama back from the after life?" Sierra asked amazed, Naruto nodded "Yea, Grandma Chiyo sacrificed her life so Gaara could live and stay the Kazekage" Sierra smiled softly at him. He really did grow up.

"Do you still aim to be Hokage, Naruto-san?" Naruto quickly looked at her, He smiled widely "Hell yeah!" He yelled out causing her to chuckle, They continued to walk down the street until they reached Naruto's apartment.

"Ah.." He scratched the back of his head "..I guess walking here after eating ramen is a habit" He started laughing, Sierra smiled "No need to be bothered, I don't mind this" She gestured to the building, Naruto smiled widely before remembering a faint rumor.

"Hey.." He frowned as he turned to her "Sierra.. Did..Didn't something happen to you?" Naruto asked looking confused, Sierra frowned slightly.

She stared at him before her eyes casted to the ground, She quickly flashed Naruto a smile "No, Nothing had happened to me" She laughed, But it was strained.

Naruto stared at her for a moment before he nodded "Well, I'll see ya later. Sierra!" He waved as he walked into the building, Sierra waved back then turned and began walking back to the gates.

Forgive me, Naruto.. A tear slid down from one of her gray eyes ..I wish I could meet you on regular terms.

Outside of the village stood two cloaked figures, Sierra walked up to them with her head bowed. "Did you get the trust of the Kyuubi?" The shorter one asked, Sierra nodded.

"Yes, He sees me as an old friend. I will have him lured out soon, Then you will have him alone" Sierra replied fighting back her tears, The taller one chuckled as he patted Sierra's shoulder causing her to tense.

"That's a good girl, Sierra-chan" She bowed her head more in shame, For she didn't want to do anything the Akatsuki had forced her to do. Now, She was probably going to be the cause of Naruto's death.

Don't loose, Naruto. Don't let them take you.

(A/N) Wow.. This made almost no sense O.o ..I was panicky about which character should be next, So I had asked my cousin (Michael) and he said Naruto. I originally didn't have anything planned out for him.. So, I just went along with whatever popped up in my mind.

It sucks, I know!
