Author's Note: Chapter Three! Sorryness for not updating for a few days. Had to write the chappy, get unbanned from the internet by mum (which im not. shes at the pub rite now), and had ALOT of homework + reports + assignments. Thanks to butaneng for the review. I'm happeh! I got my Term 2 Narative assignment results back! 100/100! Wooo... Also, any parts about Naruto's parents, are the work of research, and made up stuff. I used google to find things based on "uzumaki clan", which helps my story. It is all fictional. More into that in chappy four or five!

R&R peoples.


Chapter Three - Iruka meets Sayuri

While all this was happening, Iruka Uzumaki was sitting alone, in a tree. He was always in trees. Why, people wondered? Because trees were good hiding places. Iruka grinned at a thought, then spotted a running figure in the distance. He lept down a branch, where he had sat, day after day, night after night, waiting for her. Waiting for the Uchiha heiress.

He watched her running, faster and faster, till, like her mother, she tripped. Iruka grinned to hisself, and laughed in his head. His blonde hair hung limp around his head, and through the locks, he could see her cursing. Another Uchiha, another swearer. Iruka shrugged, and started to the bottom.

Iruka got to the bottom and stepped back, face to face with Sayuri Uchiha. "What the-" she yelped, jumping back as well. "Who the hell are you?" she yelled in his face. "I'm a guy?" answered Iruka, in his way. "Idiot. Who are you? You look ... like that Hokage in Konoha, Naruto Uzumaki." she said, angrily, yet, in a weird voice.

She wore black clothes, similar to the ones worn by Sakura Haruno, in her ninja days. A sword was strapped to her belt, and some knives, that Iruka also wore. She wore a pack on her back, and looked as though she was running. "Your Sayuri Uchiha, right?" he asked. "Yes, What of it." she snapped, sitting down, and checking her feet. They were cracked, and bleeding. Lost were the shoes that she had long ago shed.

"Let me help you, Uchiha." Iruka said, holding a hand out. It was just his nature, as a Uzumaki, to help others. And it didn't help to be the son of the caring Hyuga Heiress. "I don't need help." Sayuri said, showing her cold side, the Uchiha side. She kept on the ground. "I know you've run away from Konoha, from the Hokage's friendship, and from Kakashi Uchiha." said Iruka, holding out that hand again.

Sayuri's eyes flicked back towards the village. "Fine." she said, in a cold voice, as she gripped the hand, and was helped to her feet. Iruka grinned, and started walking. "Where do you live?" asked Sayuri. "With an old friend." replied the oldest Uzumaki boy.

A few days later in Konoha, Naruto Uzumaki was reading a letter. This wasn't just a letter, it was from an old friend of his, who lived alone, or so Naruto thought.

Dear Naruto and Hinata,
Hmm, it has been awhile since I wrote to you, hasn't it, trouble maker. I hope your well, Hinata, and I hope that your daughters and son are getting up to trouble. Opps, I mean, well, and being good. ... maybe.

About Iruka ... yes I have seen him. I promised not to tell you where he is, but, he's run off, so now I can slip it in. Iruka lives with me, in my cottage. He's scared of you, Naruto, scared of what you'll do to him if he returns. I mean, he is a criminal for godsakes! He killed Sakura and Sasuke.

He's going good, Naruto, Hinata. He wears those annoying orange clothes of yours, that I kept when you left them years ago. And, those goggles that the first Iruka told me about once, he never takes them off. His headband thingy, what is it called again? Oh yeah, that hitai-ate. Man, that thing pees me off. He's always re changing where he ties it. Most of the time, Iruka wears it around his waist, like a belt, next to his kunai knives.

It's later, I stopped writing before, because I ran out of things to write. Iruka's home again, this time with a girl.. Her hair is black, and her eyes are like Sasukes'. Naruto, she says her name is Sayuri Uchiha, do you know of her? Hinata, do you? She's wearing similar clothes to Sakura, and a sword, that looks familar.

Iruka's calling again, for some food. Damm, that kid loves ramen, just like you, Naruto. Hinata, I wish you the best, have fun with your children. Naruto, don't scare too many people with your ways.

Kakashi Hatake

Naruto dropped the letter, and Hinata picked it up, reading quickly. "What does this mean, Naruto?" she asked her husband. "That Sayuri has met her mother's killer." replied the golden haired Hokage.

Hinata stared out, at her twins, Narata and Sakura. Their younger brother, Sachi, was seated, with a bowl of ramen. Naruto spotted the ramen, smiled, and joined his children. Hinata sighed, and thought of her oldest. "Be careful, Iruka.. Sayuri." she murmered to herself.

Iruka sat at a wooden table, next to Sayuri. An older man, with greying hair, and a mask on his face, sat opposite, writing. "Kakashi-san, your always writing.." complained Iruka, as he finished his fourth bowl of ramen. "Iruka, don't interupt me when I'm writing. I already finished and sent off that letter to Naruto, now I need something to do." complained Kakashi, as he made a mistake.

"Kakashi-san, do you know who Father's parents were? I want to meet them." asked Iruka, as Sayuri watched him take another bowl of ramen. "I never knew Naruto's parents. He was an orphan. Rumor was, that he was the son of the Forth Hokage, but then, those are rumors. The Fourth, and Naruto both have alot, appearence wise, in common though.." said Kakashi, ending in a mutter.

"I want to find Father's belonging. Then, I can truely call myself a Uzumaki." declared Iruka, with childish innocence. The fourteen year old looked twelve, but acted like he was seventeen or eighteen. Kakashi shook his head. "And, you, young lady. What are you doing running away from Konoha." said Kakashi, turning his focus to the Uchiha girl.

She looked at him, with her black and red eyes. "I have to find the truth about the Uchihas. About my father, my uncle, and about Orochimaru. The curse seal ... they didn't know that Itachi had it, and it could be passed on by birth. I have that seal, though I no not of how to use it." said Sayuri, in a small voice.

"Well, I knew of Itachi and Sasuke. I personally knew Sasuke, he was a student of mine, with Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki.-" Kakashi started. "Hang on," interupted Sayuri. "Your a Uzumaki!" she yelled at Iruka. "Well yes. I'm Iruka Uzumaki." said Iruka, as he started on Kakashi's left over ramen. "You killed my mother and uncle."

"Your father killed thousands of people, Uchiha!" exclaimed Iruka, as he was eating. "You don't know what's its like to live in a house with Sasuke Uchiha, Uzumaki. I knew that my brother meant more to Sasuke, it's in the Uchiha blood not to. Mikoto was different, she was nice. But, then she disappeared!" screamed Sayuri.

"Mikoto Uchiha II?" asked Kakashi. "Yes! My half-sister, my father's other daughter, born by Ino Yamanaka. Ino liked Itachi only because he looked like Sasuke. They were married a long time ago, but my step-mother, Ino, escaped. She took Mikoto with her, but she still disappeared! Mikoto also has the curse seal, but according to Sasuke, mine is stronger!" yelled Sayuri, as she lept up, and started for the door.

"Wait."

Sayuri turned, to face Iruka. He was on his feet, a kind look in his eyes. "At least let me help you through the forest." he offered. "Thanks, but no." said Sayuri, as she bade him goodbye. "I have to find them myself." she thought to herself.

--

Iruka watched the spot where Sayuri had disappeared from. "I know where Mikoto is.." said Kakashi. Iruka turned. "What!" he exclaimed. "I know where Mikoto is?" said Kakashi. "Not that what. Where is she?" asked Iruka. "She lives by herself, under ground, under the forest. She lives with Ino." said Kakashi. "Mikoto's nineteen, right?" asked Iruka. "Yes, why?"

"Because, I've heard of her."
