The Leaf Girl
Chapter 3: Wanted! The Last Haruno
XXX
Okay Naruto, you can do this! Naruto told himself. It will be a new step in life. A step that will change my life forever...
He looked at the stairs that led to the village above. He was ready to change his fate from being an outcast to being a hero that everyone loved. The blonde took a deep breath before taking his first step and smiled. His cautious steps quicken and before he knew it, Naruto was running up towards the light.
He sheltered himself from the light as Naruto finally made it to the outside wall of the Leaf. The village was different than he taught it would be, but he didn't cared. He was finally away from his rude villagers! He was going to make friends and become someone people would speak of in honor. All he had to do was find some comrades and help them out with whatever they needed.
"This will be as easy as pie!" Naruto laughed. "With my boyish cute looks, I'll be making friends without any trouble at all! However, I hope they don't know about my inner demon..."
He touched his stomach. Inside of him was a nine tailed demon that Madara used in war against the famous Harunos. However, the previous leader of the Leaf stopped the demon's rage by imprisoning the creature into a baby's body... Naruto's body...
"Snap out of it." He said out loud. "I'm sure no one my age knows... So I have nothing to worry about!"
Full of angry, he made his way towards the Leaf, seeing pictures of a missing man posted everywhere.

"Aw, look at these pictures they have up of Sasuke kun!" Cried a female villager.
"He looks so adorable!" Her twin sister agreed. "He better come back so that he can marry me!"
"No way! He's going to marry me to continue on his family's blood line!"
Her sister scoffed. "As if! Everyone knows I'm far prettier than your saggy old butt!"
"I'm only five seconds older than you, idiot!"
As the two girls bickered in front of a food stand, Sasuke was leaning against a wall, hidden from the crowds of people flowing in and out of downtown. As usual, he was covered up in his black cloak that disguised his face. Great, now Madara was putting up pictures for all of the Leaf to see.
Why would that man go through all this trouble just to bring me back? Sasuke thought as he made sure no one was around. What are Madara's plans?
Over by the twin sisters, two men who worked under the Uchihas walked up to them of a picture of a clan symbol.
"Hello, fair ladies." The tall guard intervened their argument. "We are looking for someone wearing a symbol like this."
He held up the paper for them to see. It was a red circle colored in that was familiar to Sasuke.
"That symbol..." The twins said at the same time. "It's no doubt, it belongs to that girl troublemaker!"
The shorter guard with brown hair stepped forward. "Can you please describe her to us?"
"She has long pink hair that's usually in pulled back pigtails." The older sister explained. "She's always steals food from Teuchi's food stand. Her name is Sakura I believe."
Sasuke's eyes widen.
"Oh," the other sister jumped in, "she's also a Charka User! She wears the green vest you guys wear."
"Thank you very much, Madara will be pleased with the information you two have given us." The guards bowed and walked away to inform the head Uchiha.
Impossible. Puzzled, Sasuke dashed away from the scene. That sign the guards showed them was a Haruno sign. The Harunos are gone! But again, it was on Sakura's back... What in the world is going on?
THUMP!
Sasuke fell over and looked over at the other person who fell as well.
"Dammit!" Cried a blonde haired guy around the same age as himself. "Watch where you're going!"
"Me? I wasn't the one who was running!" Sasuke shot back.
"We were both running idiot!" The stranger shouted. "Why were you trying to leave downtown so fast?"
"None of your business." Sasuke finally stood up, not realizing his hood had fallen back.
"You're eyes..." The man stared at the Uchiha. "They're as red as rubies... You're an Uchiha!"
A group of people twisted around as soon as they heard the clan's name.
"Hey, that's Sasuke!" Cried a commoner.
"He's back!" Cheered on another villager! "We must tell one of the guards!"
"Nice going moron!" Sasuke pushed away the blonde loser as he ran off.
"Wait up!" He chased after the fast Uchiha. "The name is Naruto, I have the goal of making some close friends and helping them out with any problems they have!"
"You're quick loser." Sasuke puffed, running as fast as he could. "And my only problem was you blowing my cover!"
"I didn't know you were in some kind of disguise!"
Both of the men continued to run until they reached some stone stairs that led to the homes of the higher ups. Around the stairs were high stone walls that made sure no one could watch the higher ups. Naruto and Sasuke were safe hiding behind the walls near the entrance way to the houses, for now.
They both sat down on the first step to check their breaths.
"Get that troublemaker!" Naruto and Sasuke heard a booming voice from the distance.
"Oh crap, they're after me!" They both said at the same time.
Doing a high back flip over one of the stone walls, a woman jumped down between the blonde and dark haired man. She spun around to quickly recognize Sasuke.
"Sakura?" Sasuke remembered her. "They're after you?"
"Yeah. Info came out about me and somehow, Madara got his dirty hands on it." Sakura looked over at the blonde. "Who's he?"
Sasuke looked over at the blonde to see him dumbfounded. "Y-you look just like the leader of my village!" He blushed. "But her chest is bigger than yours and she's a blonde..."
Sakura's eyebrow twitched at the boob comment.
"His name is Naruto." Sasuke interrupted him before he made matters worse. "And from the looks of it, he's in a pretty bad spot as us."
"Us?" Sakura crossed her arms across her chest. "The guards are after me, not you two."
Angry voices of the guards grew closer as Sakura tried to figure things out with Sasuke. He had no time to explain, they had to escape.
"I'll explain things later." Sasuke pulled Naruto up with him. "Right now, we have to leave the village before we get caught by them."
"But I'm sure the guards will be at the exits of the Leaf." Sakura stated. "We have nowhere else to go."
Naruto rubbed his head. "Actually, there is one place..."
"They lead us to it!"
Sasuke and Sakura followed Naruto as they ran for their lives away from Madara's goons.

"Madara sama, I was told that the Haruno girl had escaped."
Clenching to his throne of a chair, he muttered some bad words under his breath before talking to Deidara.
"And what about the rumors of Sasuke returning to the Leaf?"
"Not sure leader." He answered quickly. "A group of villagers said they saw him, but by the time the guards got there, he was gone."
Standing by Madara's side was Itachi who looked down at the floor. "Sasuke..."
"Don't worry yourself over him Itachi." Madara told him. "I've been keeping an eye out for him and I'm sure where he'll be heading."
Deidara asked, "Where to?"
"The only place he can run to," the man evilly smiled, "Under Konoha."
