Clutching her stomach, Aru stood. " I won't let it stop me." She charged at the tree, hit it in a series of points and huge craters were left. She kicked at large boulders, threw weapons at herself and blocked, and practiced every stance she knew.

" I will not stop until I kill the one called Orachimaru." she said," or until its me that's gone."

Naruto heard a lot of loud noises in the Forest of Death. He paused for a second and saw a very tall tree collapse. There was blood all over it. Was someone scraped against it? Did Sauske...

Something sent a huge boulder into him. He flew back. Something was moving at a lightining speed and things were disenegrating. The blood was dropping from the blur. " What the?" he said. The blur was flying at him. He heard the sound of handsigns. " Fireball no jutsu! " A female's voice said. A cyclone of fire appeared in front of him. Something jumped inside of it. " Multiple Weapons!" On cue, a wave of weapons went in every direction. Naruto barely jumped out of the way. " Crap!" he said," who is that?"

The cyclone stopped and a tired looking ninja landed in a three point position landed in front of him. Blood was dripping from her stomach. She was scowling and panting. " Dang it!" she yelled," I didn't get it right. She backed away from Naruto and did three handsigns. " Fireball no jutsu!" She sent about six cyclones in the air. Quickly, she jumped through all of them and the shower of weapons started again.

" Hey! Hey!" yelled Naruto, " I'm standing here! Are you trying to hurt someone."

The girl turned. " Yes, but I'm training in case I meet that person unexpectedly. She started swaying. " I guess my Numbing Jutsu's starting to wear off."

There was something powerful about the ninja in front of her. Aru knew this. Two types of chakara flowed through him. Red and yellow. " My name is Aru." she said, being polite.

The kid squinted at her. '' My name's Naruto Uzamaki!" he pointed to himself," I plan to become the next hokage."

" Hokage huh?" said Aru," my dream's not really any of your buisness. "

" Don't go Kakashi-sensei on me." said Naruto.

" Kakashi?" said Aru," he's here?" She clamped her fists together," Where?" Her eyes had a bad glint in them.
