AUTHOR'S NOTE: I AM SOOO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE!! YOU SEE I went to D.C. and didn't get back home till Thursday 4/19 soo I haven't been near a computer. It has come to my attention that what I titled the leader of Cloud should be changed. So I am going to just start to call the leader of Cloud by his name, so no one gets mad at me ). What I have also have decided is that this chapter will be romantic. So for those people who thought that this is going to be action packed I'm so terribly sorry but it isn't. ( . So now on with the story….enough chat!! ENJOY!!

And the librarian will be in bold

---------------------------------------------------

"Now that you all have meet the team you will face, River take your team back to train. I need to talk to Kakashi and his team.

"Yes Hiroshi-Sama." With that River and his team walked out of Hiroshi's office.

"Well Kakashi, you have arrived in my village rather early. Care to explain how you managed to get here 3 days ahead of schedule." Hiroshi said in a very intrigued manner.

Kakashi just smiled at Hiroshi. "You see Hiroshi-Sama, the reason why we came here ahead of schedule is because we did not encounter any trouble and it helps to have a good navigator."

Hiroshi knew where he was going with this. Sakura remembered the way here, not to shabby for someone who hasn't been here since who knows. For that Hiroshi smiled.

"And because you have arrived here three days ahead I will allow you all to rain for those days. Or do what ever you want, if you need any help ask the villagers or other shinobi around the village."

Kakashi took the long pause as a signal to leave the building. Once outside the team sat on a bench to decide what to do.

"Before we do anything. I need to talk to you……………………Sakura."

This puzzled everyone but none the less Sakura followed Kakashi to the light post. Naruto and Sasuke stayed at the bench, respecting their teacher's privacy.

---With Kakashi and Sakura----

Sakura followed Kakashi to the light post showing the most confused look on her face.

"Kakashi-Sensei……is something wrong?"

Kakashi just smiled at Sakura but then his face turned serious.

"Sakura I have something to ask. If it's to personal you don't have to answer."

Sakura was even more confused that before.

'What could he possibly mean?'

'Who knows with him.'

There it was again. Sakura went back to being dazed and Kakashi noticed it this time. He narrowed his eyes at her.

----Naruto and Sasuke---

"What could Kakashi-Sensei possibly want with Sakura-Chan?"

Sasuke himself found that he to was curious to why Kakashi wanted to talk to Sakura. It wasn't like he really paid attention to her that much.

"Dobe……I don't know."

Naruto gasped "the UCHIHA SASUKE doesn't KNOW! OH! WHERE IS A CAMERA WHEN YOU NEED ONE!!"

"DOBE! SHUT UP!!" Sasuke screamed.

----Kakashi and Sakura----

"Ummm……sure Kakashi-Sensei?"

"I have noticed that you have dazed out a lot during the mission. At first I thought you were just anxious to get to Cloud. But after yesterday, when Rain said that you "talk" to yourself I changed my mind."

'Oh NO!'

'WE ARE SO SCREWED!! HURRY UP AND MAKE UP SOEMTHING!'

'Like what? You know it would help if you helped me out too you know!'

"Like you just did. So I need to know if you are either tired and we should return to Konaha to see if everything is alright. Or you tell me what is really going on."

'So you weren't going to give me a choice were you.'

'OH MAN! WE ARE SOO DEAD!'

"KAKASHI-SENSEI! ARE YOU SAYING I'M PHYSCO?! FOR THE RECORD I AM AND………I don't know……"

"Sakura I suggest you tell me before I have to ask Rain."

'NOOOO! SHE WOULD RUIN EVERYTHING!!! SHE WOULD SAY I….I…………OH GOD DAMN IT! JUST TELL HIM!'

authors note: DON'T KILL ME OK!! I HAVE A VERY GOOD REASON WHY SHE IS TELLING Kakashi ok so plzzzz don't kill me!!! ( )

"If……If I tell you, YOU HAVE TO PROMISE NOT TO TELL ANYONE OK KAKASHI-SENSEI!! PLEASE!!"

'She makes it sound like it is the end of the world if she tells me.'

'get on with it!'

"Ok Sakura…I wont tell anyone."

Sakura took a deep breath in and out. Getting ready to reveal to her sensei that she had another mind, or alter ego, or something. Who knows……maybe Kakashi could help her with it.

"Umm… how can I explain it……well I have a ………another person inside my head. I'm not sure how she got there or why but she is like a part of me."

Sakura waited a few minutes to let her words sink in into Kakashi's brain.

'I don't know what the big deal is. All she has is an conscious that talks to her. It should be gone as she grows up.'

"Sakura tell me about this alter ego."

'Do you really want me to?'

'I guess. You already spilled the beans.'

"Ok. Well she normally is loud like Naruto and sometimes she gives me some advice that helps me get through things……Remember when those guys came into the forest? She fought the giant sword man dude and took over my body." Sakura said shyly

Kakashi's eyes widened at this information.

'This isn't just a normal alter ego. This one is different. But how?'

"Ok Sakura. We are going to head back to Naruto and Sasuke. I and you will not mention this conversation to them. Got it?"

"That's perfectly fine with me! THANKS KAKASHI-SENSEI! I knew you would understand!"

---Sasuke and Naruto---

They were both sitting on the bench watching Kakashi and Sakura's conversation. Trying to read their lips with no prevail. Then they saw Sakura hugging Kakashi!

------Kakashi and Sakura----

"Thanks so much!"

Kakashi just stood there not knowing what to do. It has been a while since any one has hugged him and strangely enough he didn't mind it.

'She is my student………but even thought she may think I don't pay attention to her…I do. I've seen how much she has grown without my assistance……and now she is asking me for help in a sense.'

Kakashi smiled at his thought and after Sakura broke away from their hug they went back to Sasuke and Naruto.

"Finally your back! Sakura-Chan why did you hug Kakashi-Sensei?"

"Oh he just helped me with something so I decided to hug him……why something wrong?"

Naruto was going to say "well you never cared for Kakashi so why all of a sudden?" but Sasuke beat him to it, with a different question/ statement of his own.

"You don't hug teachers Sakura."

Sakura frowned at Sasuke but ignored his statement. The stare he was giving her was enough to make her shut up. The familiar feeling of freight crawled back into her skin and all she wanted to do was get away. Kakashi sensed her umcomfortableness and decided to move away from this and get going.

"OK……well Sasuke come with me and we will train, since I know that is what you want. Sakura and Naruto train together but be back at the hotel room not to late..

Kakashi took out the extra card to the hotel room and throw them at Sakura.

And there is your key to get in and out of the hotel. See you guys around."

With that said Kakashi and Sasuke speed off into the nearest woods.

A few minutes later everything processed through Naruto's head and he jumped for joy. Finally he could hang around Sakura without the influence of that stupid Uchiha around. But recently Sakura has been acting different. Why? Naruto didn't know. It's starting to worry him a little but maybe that is part of her charm. Being able to change her emotions, so she isn't like some boring person with the same personality all the time.

"Hey Sakura-Chan! We get basically the whole 3 days together! Isn't that awesome!!"

Sakura smiled at the blond boy's thinking. Who knows maybe she could finally get to really see Naruto for who he is without Sasuke being around.

"Well I have to break it to you Naruto but we might want to train some. We don't know what we are up against."

"You got that right Sakura-Chan. But what could we do?"

Sakura's whole face lit up. Naruto decided then and there that he loved to see her look so happy and knowing that he was the one who caused it sent butterflies off in his stomach.

"I have an idea. Lets go to the library, get some research on new moves. Then we can practice them."

Naruto twitched "Why do we have to go to the library? It's so boring and quiet!"

'I guess he doesn't like quietness.'

'You got that right. But we should go……just to see him twitch! And to see how long it would take him to go crazy!'

Sakura smiled at her inner-self's words. And that smile had an evil glint to them, which went unnoticed my Naruto.

"Because Naruto we can get the less exciting stuff out of the way. Then move on to the fun stuff."

Sakura's explanation was good enough for Naruto and went along with what she suggested.

They then made their way to the library (AN: this should be interesting having Naruto in a library)

-----At the Library---

Sakura and Naruto got to the library after about an hour of getting lost, apparently having Naruto asking people of directions isn't such a good idea.

"Finally we got here!" Sakura said with her arms spread out as she pushed to big cherry oak door to reveal tons and tons of books. All lined up neatly on the shelves. "Where should we start first?" she said as she put her finger against her lip, like in a thinking position. Naruto just watched feeling that same butterfly feeling in his stomach.

"Lets just grab some book Sakura-Chan!" Naruto said as he ran around the whole floor grabbing any book that caught his eye, not worrying what the book was about of anything and threw them on the nearest table.

"SHHHH!!!" the ninja librarian said as she glared at Sakura and Naruto.

Sakura made her way over to Naruto and dragged him over to the table, which looked like something exploded there.

"Naruto! We have to be quiet or else we will be kicked out!" Sakura scolded Naruto in a soft whisper.

"But Sakura-Chan! That ruins all the fun!"

"SHHHHHH!"

"Please Naruto?" Sakura said with her puppy dog eyes. It may not work on the Uchiha but it will work on anyone else.

Naruto gulped and started to blush "S-S-Sure S-Sakura-Chan."

'AWW HOW CUTE HE WAS!!'

"Thanks so much Naruto!" Sakura said as she went to grab a few books to get them started. "Ready Naruto? All we have to do is skim through the books and look for anything that could be helpful."

Naruto just nodded and took a book net to Sakura and started to look.

----An hour later----

Naruto couldn't take it much longer. Here he was sitting in a library actually holding a book, he couldn't even get any entertainment from the brainiacts here in the library because they were the only ones here. Well along with that stupid librarian, how Naruto didn't like her at all.

'I don't know how much longer I can just sit here and read these books. THEY ARE HURTING MY HEAD!'

Naruto looked up from his book to see Sakura just staring at him.

'Why is she staring at me? IS THERE SOMETHING ON MY FACE?!'

"Sakura-Chan……is something wrong?"

Sakura giggled at Naruto and smiled. "No nothing Naruto. We just have an hour left till we can go and train."

"YEAH!!! FINALLY WE CAN GET OUT OF THIS HOLE!"

"SHHHH!!!!! IF I HAVE TO TELL YOU TWO TO SHUT UP ONE MORE TIME YOU ARE OUT OF HERE!!!"

Naruto sat back down into his seat and hid behind his books.

'He was twitching soo bad.'

'I know it was to funny to not look at him. His face was all ahhh!! And his eyes looked like he was about to scream!'

'Don't you think we are kind of mean. Using him for entertainment?'

'Not really look……we got all this research done. And surprisingly Naruto helped.'

'Your right.'

----Another HOUR LATER!!---

Naruto and Sakura stacked the books up in a pile so the librarian wouldn't kill them before they could get out of the building. Then they headed outside to go and find a nice training spot.

"FINALLY WE ARE OUTSIDE! I DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE CAN STAND BEING IN THOSE BUILDINGS FOR SOOO LONG!" Naruto said as he ran around the training spot like a little kid is sugar high.

"See I told you it would be better to do the boring stuff first and then the better things next." Sakura said as she sat on the soft green grass and laded out all the supplies for their training. All their research they did they wrote on scrolls and Sakura had a bunch of weapons in the bag as well.

Naruto sat next to Sakura and picked up one scroll and one star-like weapon.

"So Sakura-Chan what should we start with?"

"Hum……I don't know Naruto. Why ask me? Why don't you choice. I feel some what guilty for having to keep you up in a library for a while."

"Oh Sakura-Chan don't worry about it! I can get over it! (picks up a random scroll) Why don't we start with this one."

Sakura giggled at what seemed like the hundredths time that day. "Naruto do you even know what is in that scroll?"

"Umm………no…………why?"

"Because that is a scroll to teach how to disguise as a female."

"But I already know how to do that!"

Sakura gasped at this.

'what does he mean by that?!!!'

"What do you mean you already know how to become a girl?"

Naruto just realized what he just said and turned bright red. "UMMMM………..WHAT I MEANT WAS…………EWW I DON'T WHAT TO BE A GIRL!!"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A GIRL?!!"

'Oh no! Sakura-Chan is scary!'

"I meant nothing by it! Please don't kill me!"

Sakura couldn't hold it in any longer and so she bursted into a fit of laughter. Naruto looked so much like a little kid that got so sad that his puppy died, it was cute.

"I'm sorry Naruto. But now I want to now what you meant by already knowing how to become a girl."

'Oh shit!'

"Well Naruto?" Sakura said as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Ok! OK, OK, OK! I will show you…but you have to promise you can't kill me."

"Ok sure." Sakura said as she and Naruto stood up and got close to the edge of the river. (AN: their training spot is a huge green field with a huge river stretching from one side to the other side of the country)

Naruto got in his position and did a few hand seals and all of a sudden a poof of smoke came from Naruto. Sakura waited for the smoke to clear only to see Naruto now a GIRL with long blonde hair up in two pig tails. There were was smoke around "her" body.

'DOES HE THINK THAT ALL GIRLS ARE LIKE THIS!! THAT…….'

'PERVERT!!'

"NARUTO!! ALL GIRLS ARE NOT LIKE THAT! YOU PERVERT!" Sakura said as she charged at him

"Sakura-Chan! I told you to promise me that you wont kill me!!!"

"WE NEVER SHOOK ON IT!"

'Nice comeback.'

But before they both new it they both fell into the river head first. Sakura on top of Naruto. A few seconds later Naruto came up and looked around trying to find Sakura.

"Sakura-Chan! SAKURA-CHAN! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

'Oh NO WHERE COULD SHE BE? WHAT IF SHE GOT HURT! I HAVE TO FIND HER!'

Naruto started to move around in the water franticly trying to see if there was any place were a pink haired girl would be. But no luck.

"Oh man! Look what you did Naruto! Now Kakashi-Sensei and Teme are going to kill you. Well maybe just Kakashi-sen………"

Before Naruto could finish talking to himself he was pulled back into the water. Naruto thought it was a shark or something and kicked like there was no tomorrow, soon after he started to run out of breath and the "thing" let go of him so he could go up to the surface to get some air.

"hehehehehehe" Naruto is gasping for air only to hear laughing behind him.

When he turned there Sakura was all right and in one piece. Her outfit was soaked and floating freely with the current of the river. Her hair was soaked as well and little beads of water was dripping from her bangs to her face. Naruto watched as the water drops dripped from Sakura's bangs to her beautiful face and how they then slid down her smooth skin so easily.

"S-Sakura-Chan! You scared the crap out of me!"

Sakura tried to subside her laughter before she spoke to Naruto. "Sorry Naruto. I couldn't resist. THAT WAS WHAT YOU GET FOR thinking that all girls look like that. If you ask me it is QUITE insulting."

"I'm sorry Sakura-Chan……"

"It's ok Naruto……But since we are in the water……we might as well start to train."

"But why in the water? Wouldn't that slow us down?"

"Naruto…think of it this way…we can fight in the water making us have to try harder to move. Once we get out of the water we theoretically should move faster."

Naruto just nodded numbly. Having no idea what she just said.

"You didn't get that did you?"

"Nope! But that's ok, I'll get it later."

"ok what ever."

"What should we do in the water Sakura-Chan?"

"Hummm………I read that there was some jutsu that could mix water and the sky into a field that helps work on agility. Or we could spar in the water?"

"OH LETS TRY THE THING-A-MIJIG!"

"OK! Let me just go and get the scroll." Sakura said with a smile.

Naruto stood in the water and Sakura got out to go get the scroll. Naruto wasn't ready for what he saw next. As Sakura got out of the water her cloths were no longer loose, but they rapped around her tightly.

'Holy CRAP!'

Sakura grabbed the scroll and when she turned around she saw Naruto looking at her with widened eyes.

'What could he possibly be staring at?'

'Well lets see, there are trees here and a river, and oh yeah YOU!'

'Why would he be looking at me?'

'OH NEVER MIND! YOU ARE TO TOUBLESOME TO EXPLAIN TO!'

'You can stop sounding like Shikamaru.'

Sakura brushed off the star and ran back into the water.

"Ok well here is what it says (Sakura gets closer to Naruto so he could see what she was reading) we have to be in the water and trees at the same time. We need two people in order to do this and we need to have to pump chakra into our arms. The person on the trees has to jump out of the tree do the eagle, cloud, and seagull hand seals and push the chakra up from the arms into the ground below. The other person in the water has to go the whale, fish, and seahorse seals. If in the water you have to make you chakra sway with the water and surround it then have the chakra that is still in your arms plunge into the water. If done correctly both will feel their element surround them and out in front of them should be the sky and the water is what you will stand on."

"Woahh that sounds like a lot! BUT I CAN DO IT BELIVE IT!"

"I think we should practice it first without chakra. OK I'll take the trees……"

"NOO! I'll take the trees."

Sakura was a bit confused by Naruto's sudden reaction.

'No way could I be able to see that again.'

"Ok then?"

A few minutes later Naruto was on the trees and Sakura was still in the water.

"Ok…Lets see if we can do this at the same time……it says that we have to release the seals and chakra at the same time……if it takes me three minutes to do the seals and be able to keep in tone with the water……it should take you about……two minutes with all time to jump from a branch into the air, which would add to the downfall time to get the ground and do the seals…YEAH! (Sakura shouts to Naruto) OK WHEN I SAY GO YOU ARE OING TO JUMP AND FALL TO THE GROUND OK?!"

"OK SAKURA-CHAN!"

'I have no idea what she just said but that is just fine with me.'

"GO!"

---About five minutes later---

"Ok Naruto……(pants)……ready to try it for real?"

"Yeah Sakura-Chan!!"

"Ok"

Sakura got into a flexible stance an started to gather Chakra to go through her body with the rhythm of the river current. While she got situated so did Naruto, well not before he shot a glance at Sakura of course how he would of gasped if he wasn't in a tree were she could see him. Then Sakura and Naruto gathered Chakra into their arms and Naruto waited for the signal from Sakura.

"NOW!"

With that Sakura and Naruto did their hand seals. Naruto jumped out of the tree and twisted his body head first so his hands could land on the ground first. Sakura concentrated to keep her chakra to the current and the seals at the same time.

'Eagle……Cloud………Seagull!'

'Whale……Fish…………Seahorse!'

They both completed their seals at the same time and shouted "Element Water and Sky Training Field Technique!"

All of a sudden a huge gust of wind started to irrupt around their area.

"I think we did it Naruto!" Sakura shouted

"YEAH!" Naruto shouted, them both still in their ending position.

----With Kakashi and Sasuke---

Sasuke and Kakashi have been training non stop till the wind started to pick up violently.

"What is that huge energy coming from?"

"Lets go check it out shall we Sasuke?"

So they went off into the forest following the deadly strong winds. They ran fast against the trees trying to not feel the extreme force of the winds.

'Who ever made this wind is insane……what would you need this much wind for? COULD IT BE OR COMPITITION WITH THAT RIVER? IF IT IS THEN I HAVE TO TRAIN MORE!'

'This is strong winds……I wonder who is doing this.'

Kakashi and Sasuke stopped because they were right were the source was coming from. Sasuke went in front of Kakashi trying to see if he could get a better look. When that failed he turned on his Shuringan only to has his jaw drop to the floor. If he opened it any wider it could be letting flies in his mouth.

"What do you see Sasuke?"

Sasuke couldn't speak for his shook was taking over his body. "Why cant I see who it is?"

Kakashi just shrugged and looked at the huge whirlwind. But it stopped suddenly.

"Well that was weird. Maybe it is one of those weird weather patterns."

But Kakashi was going to have to swallow those words because once the wind dyed down they could hear………NARUTO?!

'NO! that couldn't come from just him!'

Sasuke wasn't going to believe his ears so he and Kakashi took off into a bush were they could get a good look of who EXACTLY was the causer of that huge wind.

"Holy Crap Sakura-Chan! That was humongous!"

"(panting) Y-Y-Yeah……you are right about that Naruto."

Sasuke couldn't believe his eyes! There Naruto and Sakura were. Naruto on ground his orange jump suit torn into pieces and Sakura was in the river. But what really got to Sasuke what was what happened next. Sakura was getting out of the water and again her outfit started to snug tightly around her. But there was a catch since the wind was strong it made the current of the river larger and the wind and water crashed against Sakura making her outfit even more ripped that Naruto's.

"Well Sasuke it looks like Sakura has been holding out on you and Naruto huh?"

Sasuke wasn't in the mood for Kakashi's tricks and he jumped out of the bushes scaring the crap out of Naruto and Sakura that Sakura threw a kunai at him.

"Nice shoot Sakura." Kakashi said as he saw Sasuke block the weapon that was centimeters from his face.

"TEME! YOU SCARD THE SHIT OUT OF ME!"

"Next time be more prepared. You both have to learn to watch your surroundings. If you don't do that you both are even more of losers that you already are."

"Why? Jealous that we could actually make a whirlwind and work together no problem?"

Everyone looked at Sakura. "Oh………Was that out loud? Sorry." She said with a smile.

'If that is just a taste of what she keeps to herself that I can only imagine what she says when she is angry.' Naruto thought still captivated by Sakura's wet appearance.

It took a minute to figure out what Naruto was looking at and yet again Sakura screamed and shouted "PERVERT!"

Kakashi just laughed at his team. "Why don't we all call it a day and pack up?"

"THAT IS THE BEST IDEA YOU HAVE HAD ALL IDEA!" Sakura said as she ran so fast dust came flying off the ground.

"But Sakura-Chan! We didn't get to actually make the THING work!"

Sakura stopped dead in her tracks "Oh……well we have two more days right? So we can do it tomorrow!" She finished with a smile

"YEAH!!!"

'Sakura-Chan actually wants to spend more time with me?! This is SO MUCH BETTER THAN A DREAM!'

'Why did you say that?'

'Say what?'

'That you and him will do it again tomorrow! DUH!'

'Well I don't know……you know everyone says he is a scatterbrain and I guess that is true a bit but he is really funny and not to mention entertaining. You even have to agree with that one.'

'Yeah, yeah, yeah.'

'I guess since that disturbing dream that my sister was going out with Itachi and then finding out that the dreams are really true has opened my eyes up a lot more.'

'Yeah and I thought we were just making things up but……after this morning where those three kids looked like the other little kids in our dreams were real…THIS MAKES LIFE SOO MUCH MORE INTERESTING!'

--------2 Days later----

"Welcome back Kakashi……I am sure your stay was good?"

"Yes it was Hiroshi-Sama."

"Ok……Then we will start the battles. River and his team will be over on the ledge and Kakashi, your team will be on the opposite ledge. But you may go to the other side if you wish. Nothing will stop you, just don't get in the way of the fights."

"OH I CANT WAIT TILL WE BATTLE AND BEAT THEIR BUTTS BELIVE IT!"

Sakura just laughed at Naruto's burst of energy. While the other girls snickered at Naruto's childish behavior.

"Well look Alli-Chan, it seems that pink-haired girl has a little boyfriend."

"They are perfect for each other! Look he is some freak that is high on what ever and she has a big forehead!"

"It's like a billboard! HEY BILLBOARD BROW! Why don't you and your BOYFRIEND go somewhere else. This isn't the place for you!"

'WHAT DID SHE JUST CALL ME?!'

'KICK HER ASS SAKURA!'

'THAT'S A NO BRAINER!'

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" Sakura said as she glared evilly at the two girls. "I AM SO GOING TO KICK YOUR ASSES WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR THE BATTLE! NEVERMIND THEN WHY NOT NOW?!"

And Sakura charged at Kimiko with the full instinct to knock her down and torture her till she would get bored of it!

To be Continued
