Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and nor do I make any money off of it. Although I wouldn't mind if I did... hint hint?


Yugito's back! I also really regret making this a romance fanfiction! I have a bunch of ideas, and I hate all of them! I really just want Naruto and Yugito to be friends. I know I know, party pooper. Don't worry, I'm still going to write a Romance... Unfortunately...


4:30 AM

A lone, shadowy figure stood atop Konoha's walls, a straw hat (sounds like luffy lol, but the straw hat is the one like akatsuki) on her head. A cloak billowed behind her as she stared at the quiet village below her.

The woman lifted her straw hat, revealing shining black eyes that pierced the dark morning like a blade of black light. A smirk graced her face as she leaped down the wall and silently landed on a rooftop.

"Naruto, you better be ready, because I'm coming for you."


7:30 AM

Naruto woke up in a room he didn't recognize. White walls, all around, light shining from outside an open window.

Oh god no. It can't be THIS place!? Why in the world does it have to be THIS place!? It... It can't be...

"THE HOSPITAL!?"

Naruto bolted up in a sitting position, causing the nurse diagnosing him to fall back in her chair in shock.

Desperate to get out, he threw off the covers, ripping off his bandages in process. Jumping out of bed, he found a clean set of clothes sitting on a comfy chair right next to him, complete with a T-shirt, shorts, and his weapons.

Faster than the eye could see, he changed and leaped onto the window sill.

"Leaving so early?"

Naruto turned around to see Kakashi leaning on the doorway, his right hand holding a copy of Icha Icha.

"I can't stand hospitals," Naruto replied, and jumped out the window.

2:30 PM

Team 7 was training together for the first time. To give them more teamwork, Kakashi set up an obstacle course impossible to complete with one person. Of course, that completely failed, with two arrogant kids and one... arrogant kid, teamwork was impossible. The obstacle course that Kakashi had taken 4 hours to set up was blown to smithereens by a combined force of Sasuke's Gokyakou, Naruto's Daitoppa, and Sakura's... Super Sonic Screeching Scream?

Kakashi groaned.

Well, at least they used teamwork to do it.

Naruto and Sasuke high fived.

A rustling sound came from the bushes.

Naruto tensed. His hand crept closer to his weapons, strapped to his right leg. He he glanced at Kakashi for confirmation, and the jounin gave him a look saying, "okay, but be careful."

Naruto's face and body relaxed, although he remained prepared to pull out his weapon.

"Hey guys, I'm gonna skip out early. Gotta get some ramen in my belly," He made an excuse.

"Naruto... you just ate 5 bowls of ramen 30 minutes ago," Sasuke said exasperatedly.

"... Thirty minutes!? I didn't know it was that long! I'm outta here!"

Naruto shunshined away. He didn't go to the ramen stand though. No use endangering the old man, and he couldn't fight with a full stomach anyway.

He stood atop a business building overlooking an abandoned alley.

He watched as a stranger garbed in a cloak and straw hat shunshined into the narrow passage.

Naruto smirked.

The with a twang, the sound of a tripwire being pulled echoed through the alleyway.

A hailstorm of kunai and shurikens rained down on the unknown figure.

Confused, he watched as the stranger stood motionless, as if waiting to die.

He almost realized what was really happening too late.

Quickly, he turned around just in time to block an attack from a mean set of claws.

The exchange continued for a moment, then both of them jumped back, in a fighting position.

"Hmm. You're pretty good. You strung 50 your kunai onto a string and connected it to a wire in half a second," She said.

A smile could be seen underneath her hood.

Soon, you're not going to be smiling anymore, Naruto vowed.

The blonde's clone appeared behind the stranger.

"Futon: Daitoppa!" the clone yelled.

The shadowy figure turned back too late. Her straw hat was blown off, to reveal a battle hardened, blonde woman with dark eyes and a Kumo headband.

That was all the proof Naruto needed. He could blow her up without regret.

In the next instant, two more clones shunshined behind her, working together to restrain her arms.

"Katon: Karyuu Endan!"

Yugito's eyes widened.

A giant, fiery (haha) dragon rose out of nowhere and roared before headed straight for her, closing in for the kill.

Yugito unsheathed her claws, popping the two clones in the process. She back flipped away from the dragon and kicked the roof of the building, allowing her to drop down into safety. Fear and mayhem ensued in the mall they stood atop, indicated by the screams and crashing everyone within a mile radius could here.

Naruto gritted his teeth. The dragon couldn't follow her there, where innocent civilians might be caught in the crossfire.

Naruto cursed and called off the jutsu.

His eyes widened when he heard a rumbling sound from below.

He jumped just in time to avoid a huge explosion that definitely could have knocked any man unconscious and given them serious burns.

Naruto took out a kunai.

Yugito jumped out from through the smoke, claws unsheathed, and engaged with close combat with Naruto. To the regular human eye, only a furious flurry of slashes could be seen.

Jumping away, both landed on opposite sides of the hole the explosive tag had made, slightly worse for wear than when the fight had started.

Yugito slowly lifting her head to face her opponent.

Yugito smiled.

"You," she started.

Naruto gave her a confused look.

"Pass."

Naruto looked bewildered.

"I what now?"

Yugito laughed.

"You pass. You passed the test. And with flying colors, so it would seem," Yugito gazed at Naruto with an infuriatingly superior face.

"If you're trying something, there are 10 anbu monitoring this, waiting to jump in if you gain the upper hand," Naruto growled.

She laughed again.

"You might want to take them to the hospital and give them an antidote for sleeping gas."

"That's all I can tell you. If you're interested, here."

She threw Naruto a kunai wrapped in a slip of paper.

He easily caught it in one hand.

"Well, bye! Come by if your interested. I'm certainly interested in you. Polished and cut, you could become the most beautiful gem ever seen."

Smirking, Yugito disappeared in a poof of smoke.

An ocean of thoughts swirling through his mind, Naruto jumped down to find 10 anbu snoring, sleeping on the ground in various positions. One of them in a tiger mask was sucking their thumb and muttering, "Your my teddy bear, aaaalllll mine."

3:00 PM

Naruto sat on his small and old bed, looking through bingo books and various village records.

All he could find was, Blonde hair, dark eyes, nails as sharp as swords. One of Kumo's "Perfect Jinchuuriki," Yugito Nii. Perfect control over her bijuu, which Naruto found to be incredible. An amazing feat, accomplished by years of torturous training. Oh wait, couldn't forget that she was the freaking jinchuuriki of the two tails! How come he could find more information on some stupid rapper called Killer Bee!? Ridiculous!

Naruto unfolded the sheet of paper that Yugito had given him.

"Team 7 training ground, 11:00 PM."

He folded the paper and exited his apartment.


Coming up with good ideas for this chapter is like pulling teeth. :( Forgive me if it sounds like rushed work, but I am now facing the the fact that i naturally suck at writing. Anyway, chapter has been revamped, as you have probably realized by now. Review! Again... Pleeeeeaaase?

Special thanks to my new beta, Neidres! Yaaaaaayy! :D
