When Naruto woke, she was back in the village in her home. Her dad was sitting on a chair next to her bed tapping his foot and chewing on his nail. She could hear the movement of Minato's tongue in his mouth and his heart beat and breathing pattern. She could smell things that she could never smell before and she could make out the individual stitches on her blanket. What was with the extrasensory abilities?

When Minato noticed that Naruto was awake, he jumped out of his chair and knelt next to the bed. "Sasuke and Itami told me what happened. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about Kazar. Are you ok?" Minato said quickly, worry shining in his eyes. Naruto tried not to wince as Minato spoke. He was so loud, it was almost like he was yelling.

"Yeah, I'm fine, but can you please tell me what actually happened? I can't remember much." Naruto said, rubbing her eyes.

"Well, um, Kazar, my brother, was the one making all of the disappearances happen. You, Sasuke and Itami took on Ichirou and Kazar and Kazar placed a curse mark on you." It took Naruto a few moments to realise what Minato had just said.

"What!? A curse mark? Where is it?" Naruto yelled. She had to see this. She leapt out of bed and raced to the bathroom where she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She had the same mark on her cheek as the one Kazar had on his forehead. Everyone would be able to see it and everyone would wonder what it was. Minato followed her into the bathroom and handed her a black piece of cloth that turned out to be a mask like the one Kakashi wears. She put on the mask. It didn't look too bad but it didn't suit with her long hair. She knew that she would much regret what she was going to do next but she did it anyway. She took a kunai from her pocket after gathering her hair up and she sliced right through it in a straight line. The blonde tresses fell to the floor in a yellow pile.

Minato didn't try to stop his daughter. If she wanted to cut her hair, she could. Although he wasn't too sure about what Kushina would say. Kushina liked Naruto's hair to be long while Minato didn't care whether it was long or short. Minato took the kunai from Naruto and began to even out her new spiky hair. Naruto's hair looked a lot more like Minato's now but hers was slightly longer. She then noticed that the top of the curse mark was showing from underneath the mask so she asked her father if he could cut a fringe for her. He agreed and soon she looked like a new person.

Naruto felt tired after that so she went back to bed. When she woke up again, she found Anko sitting on her windowsill munching on some dango.

"Hey." Naruto said, looking over at her purple haired friend.

"Hey, how ya doin'? And what's up with the mask and haircut?" Anko asked.

Feeling like she could trust Anko, Naruto spilled all that happened, excluding the whole awesome senses thing. She didn't feel like she wanted to share that with anyone. "Wow." Was all Anko said. They chatted for a while longer but Anko eventually had to leave and so she did, leaving Naruto alone in her room.

Naruto wanted to go out and do something but she was too scared to go out with the mask and new haircut. Even though Anko had said that the new style suited her she felt self conscious. She went into the bathroom again and took the forehead protector from around her hips and tied it around her forehead. She reckoned that it looked better with the mask and hair than it did around her hips. She gave herself a mental pep-talk and decided to leave the house before she lost her nerve.

Outside she got some weird looks from different people and it made her anxious. She didn't know what they were thinking and hated the way that they looked at her as if judging her. She was so glad when she found someone who wanted to keep their face too. "Hey, Kakashi." Naruto said, falling into step with the masked man.

"Hey, nice haircut, it suits you. I see I'm becoming a bit of a trend-setter with the mask thing." Kakashi said, smiling. Naruto was glad he didn't ask what she was hiding under the mask.

Naruto smiled back. "Yeah, trendy indeed. So how have you been as of late Mr. Copy-Ninja?"

"Well, the usual—" Kakashi was cut off by a loud bang that made Naruto's ears ring. They spun toward where the sound had come from, the Uchiha compound, and saw a massive plume of smoke rising into the air, tainting the cloudless sky a horrible gray colour. Kakashi and Naruto made their way toward the site and found many other ninjas crowding around something. They pushed though the crowd to find Sasuke and Fugaku facing off against each other.

"Sasuke, this little infatuation you have with the Hokage's daughter is a load of bullshit! You must marry someone within the Uchiha clan eventually so you should drop her sooner rather than later." Fugaku said while kicking and punching his youngest son. Sasuke evaded every blow.

"If you are going to marry one of your sons off, make it Itachi. He is the eldest therefore he is the heir. I don't have to listen to you and I only just turned eighteen will you get off my back about it? It's pissing me off!" Sasuke said, getting some successful hits on Fugaku.

"Sasuke—"

"No, why don't you just admit that you wish I was never born and that you think I'm a failure and that you wish that I was as good a ninja as Itachi? You know what? Itachi may be better at me than most things but at least he doesn't try to rub it in my face and put me down all the time. But you, you just will not stop until you have gotten me in a rage. But you can just keep doing that because I will not change for anyone. I am who I am and you are who you are: a selfish man who should not have the right to be a father. A father is supposed to love his children and care for them. Not push them and push them until they break with the pressure of trying to be better at everything. I hate you and your high standards! It's all a heap of fucking bullshit!" Sasuke yelled. All the sound was hurting Naruto's ears and the smoke was burning her nose but she ignored it.

By the end of his little rage filled speech Sasuke had pinned his dad on the ground. His knee was digging into Fugaku's solar plexus and his onyx eyes were filled with malice and hurt. Sasuke slowly got off his father and leapt away. Ignoring the crowd and their questioning looks, Naruto went after him.

The whole Kazar idea actually belonged to AndCueTheAnimeFreak. She gave me permission to use it but told me not to give her credit but I felt so bad for using her ideas despite the fact that i have permission that i had to gove her credit so:
