L had arrived at the Leaf village the day before and spoke with the hogake about his job and where he would live. Today he would start his job at the ninja school where Naruto Uzumaki went, or so the papers about him, that Pein gave him, said. He was living in a hotel next to a ramen shop he he went there alot to eat but he hadn't seen Naruto there ever and it was his favorite shop.

In the three days he's been in the village he had asked around about Naruto and all they said was- he's a demon, loud, annoying, stupid, loved to pull pranks. The first thought that came across L mind was, 'I haven't even met the guy and I'm already tired of him.' He was alittle confused about why some had said he was a demon but never got any answers from them, he pushed it out of his mind and thought about Light and the Akastuki and how there connected.

He was now in his room at 7:30 sitting in a chair thinking about the Light thing before he had to go to work at eight. 'The Akastuki wants to take over the world. Light thinks he's God. So since the Akastuki wants to take over the world they must think there God and Light must be the leader.' After his thought was over he looked at the clock and seen it was 7:50.

He got up and walked to his job since the village people didn't have cars.

"Ah welcome Mr. L, do you like living here in the Leaf village?" Iruka had said.

L just nodded. He was working with Iruka in the school. He helped teach the kids and graded papers and anything eles Iruka didn't feel like doing. Right now him and Iruka was on break while the students eat there lunch. L had seen many faces and knew there names but he had not seen Naruto all day, he was going to ask Iruka about this.

"Iruka where would Naruto Uzumaki be?" He asked. Iruka stopped eating his ramen and put his chopsticks down looking at L. "How do you know his name?" He asked suprized and alittle cold. "I've heared about him around here." L said. "Well whatever you heared it wasn't right. Naruto doesn't go here anymore. He is in a three-man cell with there teacher Kakashi Hatake. He is now out of the village for two and a half years with Jiraiya." L stared at his cake he had gotten from a barkey and started to think.

'So, I'll have to wait two and a half years for Naruto to come. Looks like im staying at this village for awhile longer.' He took a bite of his cake. 'It has good sweets.'

L spent the two and half years working for Iruka, getting to know the village better, gathering information about the Akastuki, and sending the Akastuki information about the village. Today was the day Naruto would be back but he didn't know that. He was carrying lots of papers that were for Tsunade since Iruka was busy with other stuff and so was the other ninjas. He was almost there when three Genin bumped into him making him fall and the papers to fly everywhere. "Sorry mister!" A kid with short brown hair and a scaf around his neck yelled to him.

L sighed and started to pick up the papers but soon stopped when someone else started to help him. He looked up and saw a boy about fifthteen with blonde spiky hair, orange and black jumpsuit, headband with black ties, and he was every tall.

"Oi sorry about those kids. Here I'll help." He said. L snapped out of his thoughts about the boy and started to also pick up papers. Soon all the papers was picked up and the boy was standing infront of L.

"I've never seen you around this village before. Are you new here?" He asked.

L said nothing as he passed the boy and went to the hoagke. He handed Tsunade the papers and was about to walk out intell the boy walked in and bumping into L making him fall. "Oi we met again mister." He said helping L up.

"Naruto watch were your going cha!" A pink headed girl who L knew name was Sakura punched Naruto head.

'Naruto? So this must the Naruto everyone was telling me about.' L thought. He stared at Naruto intell he looked at him.

"Why are you staring at me?" He asked. L said nothing and walked out, but he didn't leave the buliding. He stayed outside listening.

"Naruto Welcome back to the village." Tsunade said.

"Heh thanks." Naruto said. The talk went on like this for awhile then something came up.

"Naruto you and Sakura will fight Kakashi." "Kakashi?! Are you sure Lady Hogake?" "Yes Sakura." "Oi lets make it tomarrow morning at the training field." That's all L needed to hear. He walked away to get ready for tomarrow fight.

--skip to tomarrow--

L was hiding in a tree with his legs crossed and a notebook (AN: no not deathnote) in his lap. He had followed Naruto here without him knowing. Now he was waiting for the Kakashi dude to show up. It was almost in the afternoon and he still hasn't shown up. He was staring to think it was a setup and leave but then Kakashi poped in on a fence that Naruto and Sakura was waiting by.

"Hey sorry I'm late see there was this cat an-" Kakashi tried to explain but his students cut him off by yelling liar. They walked to the training field and got ready to fight.
