Kikiyo: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! GET AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEE!

Naruto: O_O what?

Kikiyo: *points in a sink* There! SPIDER! *cries*

Naruto: *picks up the spider* hehehehe…. :)

Kikiyo: … don't you dare…

Naruto: *walks closer to Kikiyo*

Kikiyo: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOO! *runs out the door*

Naruto: O_O wow… that was better than I expected :D well! Let's start the show!

"You two… those head protectors… could you two be ninjas?" The lady asked. "You noticed?! Yeah, we're ninjas!" Naruto said happily. "Wow, you're incredible. Why are you training?" she asked. "Because I want to become stronger!" Naruto replied. "Because I have a goal to succeed" I smiled. "Hmm… But you already look plenty strong." The lady smiled back. "No No! I want to become even stronger!" she looked at Naruto thoughtfully, "Why… is that?" she asked. "So I can become the best ninja in my village! I'm going to make everyone acknowledge my strength! And right now we need to prove something to someone." Naruto started pumping his fist into the air. "Is that for someone else? Or yourself?" she giggled. "Ha? What's so funny?" Naruto asked. "Do you… have someone who is important to you?" she asked both of us. I thought about it for a second. "When a person has something important to protect… that's when they can become truly strong." She said, looking a bit sad. "Yeah! I understand that very well." Naruto and I said, in sync. "You two will become strong. Let's meet again somewhere. Oh… and… I'm a boy." I felt my jaw drop. I was speechless. This is why I wanted to come into an anime world; you never know when some very cute, pretty, and polite lady is a dude. I just didn't think I would be meeting such a cute boy already. I looked over at Naruto and he had pretty much the same expression I did. Just then, Danny came running over with breakfast and Sasuke walking not far behind her.

"Where are they? Those three left again last night. And now Sasuke is missing too." Kaka walked into the area where we were training. Naruto threw a Kunai down to get Kaka's attention. Kaka looked up to see Naruto lying down on a branch, Danny and I were resting on a branch a bit higher. Naruto slowly got up, but slipped and started to fall. "Oh no! If you fall from that height…!" Kaka started "AWW!" Naruto screamed, but instead of falling Naruto flipped around and hung upside-down using his chakra to keep him from falling. "Just Kidding! HAHA You fell for it!" Naruto laughed. "Naruto! You used a lot of Chakra, if yo-" before I could finish what I was saying Naruto started to actually fall. Sasuke caught him, thank goodness.

At the top of the trees, Danny and I were watching the moon when Sasuke and Naruto finally made it all the way up, "Time to go back?" Sasuke asked. I smiled and said "Congratulations!" as Naruto panted, "Yeah!"

I was holding Naruto on one side and Sasuke on the other side as we walked back. "Tazuna-san noted on how filthy we looked as Kaka told Sasuke and Naruto that they were to also protect Tazuna-san starting tomorrow. I went upstairs to the washroom to wash my hands. Walking down, I heard several screams, mainly from the little boy. "You're always clowning around and acting so cheerful, you don't know how hard life can be!" I heard. Before I could walk into the room, I heard Naruto talk back to him. I knew Naruto had a really hard life, without any parents or friends. It was amazing that he was still standing from living such a lonely life. Naruto opened the door and looked at me. He closed the door as I said, "Naruto… want to go for a quick walk?" I tried to smile naturally, "the night air always feels nice." He nodded and we walked out, I talked about useless things trying to lighten the mood but Naruto seemed far away, we walked back and went to sleep.

In the morning, we left without Naruto, letting him sleep. But when we made it to the bridge, the people were all on the ground and all they mumbled monster. Mist slowly covered the bridge, and we heard Zaza's voice saying, "Long time no see Kakashi I see you're still with those brats… He's shaking again… poor kid." Zaza's water clones surrounded us and Sasuke said "I'm shaking from excitement!" "Do it Sasuke." Kaka said. The next second, Sasuke had gotten rid of all the water clones and we saw the real Zaza with the same person that took him away last time. "hmm… he saw though the water clones that brat has grown It looks like a Rival has appeared eh Haku?" He asked the masked shinobi. "It does indeed" The voice sounded familiar "It seems my thinking was right on the mark." Kaka said. "No fair Kaka, taking all the credit yourself." I said he chuckled and said "that masked one… he's obviously Zabuza's comrade, standing right next to him and all." I looked at the masked one that Zaza referred to as Haku. "Hey Zaza! That person next to you… is named Haku right?" I asked. He looked at me bewildered and nodded slowly while anticipating my next move. I looked at Haku and before I could continue, Sasuke said "I'll fight him. Tricking us with that stupid act… I hate people like that the most." "An impressive young man. Even though the water clones only have 1/10th of the strength of the original… Still very impressive." Haku attacked Sasuke and he defended. They were evenly matched in speed. Kaka said, "Danielle, Kikiyo! Step in front of Tazuna-san and don't leave his side. We'll let Sasuke handle himself." I quickly summoned Jyuubi, because it would be much easier with him there, and Haku used a one-handed Jutsu, which Sasuke dodged. It was quite smart actually, focusing his chakra in a certain part of his legs to increase his speed. Sasuke kicked Haku backwards and said, "Looks like I have the advantage in speed." I clapped sarcastically and said, "Wow. Are you trying to look cool, Sasuke?" He looked at me and noted "You're not calling me duck butt." I smiled and asked, "Would you like me to call you that?" "No… thank you." He turned back to Haku and Zaza. "I can't have you underestimating my team by calling them 'brats.' Sasuke is Leaf Village's #1 Rookie. Danielle is the smartest and most equally balanced in the village. Kikiyo is the strongest and fastest at summoning of all the rookies. And the other one is the show-off, hyper active, and #1 loudest ninja in the village. Kaka said dully. Zaza started laughing, "Haku do you realize? At this rate we'll be driven back." "Yea we can't have that…" Haku started to release a large amount of chakra and the water surrounding Sasuke lifted up into frozen mirrors. Haku stepped into one of the mirrors and was reflected in all of them. Kaka cursed and started to Sasuke but was blocked by Zaza.
