A tall blonde man walked through the market of Kanoha. He was in a white trench coat with red flames on the back, forming the kanji for "SIXTH". His name was Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. The Sixth Hokage of Kanoha and the most powerful ninja in the world. His Kage hat hung loose on the top of his back, being held up by a thin string around his neck. Naruto walked up to his favorite ramen stand and sat down on his throne (the stool he always sits on).

"Ah Naruto! How's my favorite customer and our beloved Hokage doing today?" Teuchi said, greeting the boy with a smile and an already prepared Naruto Special. "I'm doing good Teuchi. Besides the paperwork... I can see why granny Tsunade hated it so much." Naruto said, groaning at the thought of having to do more. Teuchi laughed and said, "It comes with the job I suppose."

Naruto chuckled and began to eat his ramen, not bothering to eat slowly. "Twenty seconds! New record!" Naruto said triumphently, placing his bowl out for a refill. "Remind me to put your name on the bulleton board... again." Teuchi said with a shared laugh between him and Naruto. "Oh ya before I forget, there was a man in here not too long ago looking for you. Said something he had to deliver for your eyes only." Teuchi said while he wiped the counter to the left of Naruto clean.

Naruto raised an eyebrow and said, "Who was it? What did he look like?" Teuchi curled his finger across his chin in thought. "He was as tall as you, spiky hair like your's, only orange and a little bit shorter. He was wearing a long black trench coat with long sleeves. He didn't give a name though, sorry." He said, finishing the counter and moving to the next area. "That's alright gramps. I'll go look for him in a liittle bit. But first..." Naruto said tailing off. Anyone who knew Naruto would have predicted what he did next. He plunged his face into his ramen and began eating vigurously.

A man walked through Kanoha's market, looking for the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf. He came to a stop in front of a stand selling fruits and various vegetibles. He walked up to the vender and held up a picture of Naruto. "Excuse me miss, but have you seen this man?" He said, looking the woman in the eye. "Ah yes, that's Naruto-sama. He is the Kage of this village." The woman said with a smile on her face.

"Can you tell me where he is please? I have a pakage for him and him only." The man said putting the picture away. "Well you could try the Hokage Tower. If not there then his faveorite ramen stand Ichiraku's. He practically lives there." The woman said with a giggle. The man nodded and started to walk off.

"Ichigo look! They have such cute kimonos here!" Called a girl from behind the man (now identified as Ichigo). Ichigo turned to see a girl in a similar black robe as he was. Her hair was orange and tied in a bun with loose strands sticking out every-wich-way. She had big grey eyes and a bright smile on her face. "Orihime we're not here to look at the clothes. We're here to find this Naruto guy and deliver the package." Ichigo said with a sigh. He walked over to Orihime and grabbed by the arm, dragging her off, much to her protest.

"Fine fine! I'm coming. So where is he anyways?" Orohime said, looking up at Ichigo with curiousity. "I don't know. Everyone I asked either tellls me the same thing or tell me nothing. Maybe we can find one of his friends?" Ichigo said, turning his head to look around. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a pink haired girl crouching over a little kid, a strange green light coming from her hands and enveloping the child's ankle.

Ichigo nudged Orihime and pointed to the girl. "What do you think she's doing?" He asked her in a whispered voice. "I don't know but it doesn't look good." Orihime answered back. They began to walk over to her when they saw the kid smile. "Thank you aunty! My ankle feels better now!" The kid said, getting up and hugging her. "That's good. Just be more careful when you play okay? Naruto would kill me if anything happened to you." The girl said with a smile on her face.

Upon hearing Naruto's name, Ichigo's eyes widened and he made a beeline for the pink haired woman. "Excuse me miss?" Ichigo said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Sakura." The girl said. Ichigo got a confused look on his face and the girl turned around. "My name's Sakura." Sakura said with a smile. "Okay then Sakura. Do you happen to be friends with this man?" Ichigo said, again holding up the picture of Naruto.

Sakura's features hardened when she saw who was in the picture. "So what if I am? What do you want with Naruto?" She said, getting into a fighting stance. "No no! It's nothing bad I swear! I just have a package that needs to be delivered to him!" Ichigo said waving his hands in front of his face. Sakura visably relaxed and she said, "ive the package to me. I'll make sure he gets it." Ichigo shook his head. "I'm sorry but it's only for Naruto-sama's eyes only. I'm not aloud to give it to anyone else." He said.

Sakura sighed and seemed to ponder this for a moment. "Alright follow me. What's your name?" She said, leading them away from the market place. "I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, and this is Orihime Inoue." Ichigo said, motioning to Orihime. "Nice to meet you!" Orihime said with a large smile. Sakura nodded and returned the smile. "Oh ya! What was that green stuff coming from yous hands?" Orihime asked curiously.

"Oh that? That was just a healing jutsu. Aren't you two ninja?" Sakura said, looking at the pair wlking behind her. "No. We're from something called the Soul Society. I am an ex-Hollowed Samurai." Ichigo said. "Hollowed Samurai!? Really!? We already have one of you guys here!" Sakura said, her smile widening. Ichigo's face hardened and he gripped the hilt of his sword. "Where is he!?" He said.

"Woah calm down. Do you not like them or something?" Sakura said, raising an eyebrow. "I hate them. They threw my best friend Kaidensi off his throne because he was too powerful. I refused to let that happen, so they killed my family and forced me to leave with him..." Ichigo said, gritting his teeth at the memory. "Oh... I'm sorry. But I do have some good news." Sakura said, stopping in her tracks. "What?" Ichigo said.

"Kaidensi is the Hollowed Samurai here. And it just so happens he is Naruto's apprentice." Sakura said, her smile returning to her face. "W-what!? Kaidensi is here!? He's Naruto's apprentice huh? Then this Naruto guy must be strong..." Ichigo said, loosening the grip on the hilt of his sword. "You don't have to tell me twice. He's the strongest ninja in the world right now. No one can match his power." Sakura said while begibbibg their walk again.

"I can sense him from here... he makes Aizen's power seem like an ant..." Orihime said, slightly trembling. Ichigo gulped and said, "Crap..." Sakura let out a slight giggle. "Don't worry, he wouldn't hurt a fly. But whatever you do, don't threaten his family, friends, or his village. If you do, he won't hesitate to drop you where you stand." She said in a tone that made Orihime shudder. "I don't know wether to be happy about us being safe, or mortaly terrified that he could do that to anyone he wanted." Ichigo said, a worried expression on his face.

"Like I said, as long as you don't threaten those things, he's the kindest person i know." Sakura said. The two behind her visably relaxed. Orihime stiffened and said, "He's coming this way at an incredible speed! There's someone with him and... it looks like they're being chased!" As if on cue, a yellow and purple blur went right by them, followed by an angry Tsunade. "NARUTO! KAIDENSI! GET BACK HERE YOU BRATS!" She yelled, waving her fist in the air. Sakura had to cover her mouth to prevent herself from laughing when she saw Tsunde's hair was a bright blue.

Ichigo blinked a couple times before saying, "What just happened?" Sakura sighed and looked on after the running trio. "It looks like Naruto and Kaidensi pranked Tsunade-sama again. There's no point in going after them. Once they start running like that, no one can catch up. Come on, we'll start walking towards the trainning fields. No doubt that's where Naruto will be after this." She said, motioning for them to follow. Ichigo and Orihime looked at eachother, shrugged, and followed Sakura towards the training fields.
