Chapter Seven: Shopping Adventure

Disclaimer: I don't not own Naruto, I only own Alli.

Sakura dragged Alli to the nearest corner shop that held the finest clothes.

"Come on Alli, lets go find a good outfit, that suits you." Sakura spoke excitedly.

"Really?" Alli spoke. "I thought I would have to be stuck in this for the rest of my life."

Sakura, Alli, Naruto, and Sasuke walked into the nearest clothing shop, and Sakura shooed Sasuke and Naruto to the front of the store.

"Hey, I should back there with my sister!" Naruto yelled.

"Quiet dobe," Sasuke shushed.

"But it's true, teme" Naruto said to his best friend

"The reason why Sakura shooed you was because you're a guy, and not a girl. Duh."

"Oh!" Naruto said after he realized it, he blushed.

Sakura and Alli roamed around the back of the shop, looking for all types of clothes. Alli tried everything on, from shirts to skirts. She did find one outfit she loved the most, and it also fit her standards, comfy and flexible.

Her outfit was a huge plain light green shirt that was baggy but stylish, and underneath it was fishnet clothing, and she had black leggings on, and then her shoes were black sandals, like all ninja wore. She had that tape around her arm, so one of her arms would be that baggy.

Alli then looked in the mirror and was amazed on what she looked like. She twirled and saw fit that she could move around in everything she wore.

She looked over to Sakura and gave her a hug, and was glad that she helped her. She then picked out her pj's and some leisure clothes, for relaxing days.

Alli then paid for her items, and then ran and hugged Naruto and Sasuke both. Then she stood a few feet from then and grinned.

"How do you like my outfit?"

"It's awesome Alli-chan!" Naruto beamed.

"It's nice," Sasuke added.

"Thanks you two!" Alli said happy.

Naruto and Sasuke were glad to see Alli awake and happy, after all she has been through, she definitely knows how to keep a smile on her face, and neither one of them, could image living like that.

"Now, I'm going to stop by a barber shop, or a haircut place, whatever you guys call it, because I seriously need to cut my hair," Alli said while grabbing her hair showing to her friends.

"Why?" Sakura asked, "Your hair looks beautiful when it is long."

"Because, I never really liked long hair and it suits me fine when it is like shorter and besides, when you are in battle, or when it's a hot day, long hair can be painful." Ashlee answered Sakura.

"Oh," was all Sakura could make out.

"Well, can someone show me, or you all just going to stand there, and let me get lost in this village, and maybe get kidnapped, and never see you guys again?"

They seriously thought Alli was serious, so they escorted her to the nearest haircut place, and Alli went in and talked to the barber.

"Hello Sweetie," the barber greeted. "What can I do for you today?"

"I'm going to need a haircut, and I know exactly what I want it. I want you to, layer it, and have some side bangs. Could you curl long too, that would be nice." Alli told him.

"Okay, I can do that."

Alli then sat up in the chair and the professional do the work. After 30 minutes to and hour of sitting, she got out of the chair, and looked in the mirror. Alli was excited about her hair, and was very pleased.

She paided the guy 150 ryo, and headed towards her friends.

Alli twirled around her friends, "How do you like it?" she asked happily.

Sakura, Sasuke, and of course Naruto was amazed on what she looked like. She was very pretty after her haircut but different, but a good different.

"You look awesome!" Naruto cheered.

"Thanks bro," Alli said. "Now, what do you guys want to do?"

"Well," Sakura thought, "We could always give you a tour of Konoha."

"Oh Yipee! That sounds great!" Alli shouted with energy, "Now I won't get lost in this Village!"

Sasuke and Naruto laughed and Sakura just stayed quiet totally not understanding what all the laughter was coming from.

They walked around the town. Alli got smiles from tons of people around. Alli was glad, it was a nice change from her old living style. Naruto showed her Ichiraku Ramen, where the best Ramen was made. Sasuke showed her the Academy, and Sakura of course showed her where the Hospital was, although Alli already knew that, being there already. Naruto then showed her the Hokage Tower, and the Mountain. His dad's face was on there, so he was proud to show it off, and of course, it was her dad's face too.

Alli saw tons of kids running around, and she smiled, just happy for them, living a carefree life, like she used to have, before everything bad that happened to her.

Then Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, decided to introduce Alli to their friends.

Before all of this though, Sakura, and Naruto decided to call all their friends to meet Alli. Of course though, Sasuke had no idea, and decided to wait a little while before, she meets them.

So, they all walked to the forest and they were actually their first, they kind of finished the tour too early.

Well, since they were in the forest, Alli decided to climb trees, and not like a ninja, like a normal person.

"What are you doing?" Sakura asked.

"Climbing a tree, what does it look like I'm doing?" Alli asked, finally getting to a thick branch, where she can sit on.

"You know, since you have chakra, you could have just walked up the tree." Sakura pointed out.

"I like being original, can't I be that?"

"Well, sure, but, don't you want to take the easy way?" she asked again. Naruto and Sasuke seemed to agree with Sakura for the moment.

Alli shook her head, much to the gang's surprise.

"Why not?" Sasuke asked.

"The reason, is because there is no easy way to achieve anything in life," Alli stated. She knew this the hard way, and actually enjoyed living her life like this.

"Sometimes, I just don't understand you," Sakura said to her, not knowing why, she wouldn't take the easy way.

"Here, I'll make it simple, when you take the easy way, you may get far, but you won't know everything you need to know, but when you take the hard way, or the less chosen path, you gain the skills and knowledge you can use when you are older, and you would have more experience in life, and you would know how to use it."

"Oh, I get it," Naruto agreed with his younger sister.

"What, how can you get it, when I can barely get it?" Sakura asked, after all she was the smart one.

"Well, when I was younger Konohamaru, was trying to beat Grandpa Hokage by challenging him, but it never work, and I told him almost the exact same thing." Naruto replied.

"Oh," Sakura said, she now understood.

Then after a few minutes of waiting, which resulted, of Naruto sitting on the grass, and Sakura joining him, while Sasuke ended up climbing the tree, and resulted him and Alli talking to each other. Then Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Lee, Tenten, Neji, Kiba, Hinata, and Shino came walking up to them.

"This is so troublesome, I can't believe we are doing this," Shikamaru said.

"Come on Shikamaru, this is exciting, we get to meet Naruto's youthful little sister." Lee exclaimed in his youthful way.

"Why couldn't she just come to us?" Kiba complained.

"She would have probably gotten lost," Naruto said. Everyone finally acknowledge him and Sakura sitting on the ground.

"Where is Sasuke and your sister?" Ino asked. Of course she would have asked, she and Sakura still have that crush on him.

"They are up in the tree," Sakura answered her, sort of jealous that Sasuke didn't sit next to her.

The gang looked up to see Sasuke chatting with a young girl with red hair. They assumed that was Alli, and was shocked to see Sasuke even getting along with her.

"Can it be true, Sasuke is actually talking to another girl, and is not trying to get away from her?" Choji commented.

"I guess, Alli never really did attack him, like all the young girls did, when we were little," Naruto commented.

"What do you mean attack?" Sakura and Ino cried out.

Alli and Sasuke winced while they were in the tree; they just finished their conversation and now listening to the one down there. They did agree that Ino and Sakura have loud voices, and when they were combined, they were even louder.

"Well, to tell you the truth, you and so many other girls were squealing and stalking him," Naruto told the girls.

Sakura and Ino stayed quiet. They knew that used to stalk Sasuke everywhere he went. They were ashamed.

Alli and Sasuke ended up jumping down from the tree, and it startled the rest of gang.

"Woah," Sakura commented.

"Konnichi wa, my name is Alli." Alli greeted everyone with a nice smile.

"Konnichi wa, Alli," everyone said.

"Wow, this is so different," Alli thought.

The pineapple head person went to introduce himself first. "My name is Shikamaru from the Nara Clan." He then went and shook her hand, and Alli greeted him back.

Next went the person who was eating chips. "My name is Choji from the Akimichi Clan." He too did the same thing like Shikamaru.

"Ino Yamanaka," Ino greeted.

"Kiba Inuzuka"

"Hinata Hyuga"

"Shino Aburame"

"Rock Lee, but people call me Lee"

"TenTen"

"Neji Hyuga"

"Konnicha wa, to you all too," Alli said once everyone respectably gave their names.

"So, I hear you're Naruto's little sister," Shikamaru told me.

"Yes I am," Alli replied back.

"Are you planning to become a ninja?"

Alli froze in thought, she really didn't know. "Uh, I'm actually not sure, maybe not."

Everyone was shocked, they all wondered why.

"Why wouldn't you?" Naruto questioned. "It is like the best thing to be."

"I know that, but you know, I don't think I'm ready, I understand, that it would be for my protection to actually learn some ninja skills, or being a ninja, but I also, don't want to be watched 24 hours, 7 days a week, it seems, like I don't have any freedom. I'm still deciding."

"Well, I'd decide soon, because what ever the council members try to trick into doing, it won't be good." Shikamaru told Alli.

"I know, but it's a hard decision!" Alli whined. Everyone except Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto were shocked. They all thought Alli was bi-polar.

They ended up hanging out together for a few hours, and everyone went their separate ways. Naruto, ended up leading Alli home, for her first night in the Namikaze household.

"Mom, Dad, I'm home, with Alli this time!" Naruto shouted.

Minato and Kushina walked out from the living room, and hug Alli and say hello to their son.

"Welcome home Alli," her parents say to her.

"Thanks, mom, dad," Alli said to them. It was kind of awkward for her to greet them as mom and dad.

"We have an extra room for you to sleep in, Alli," Kushina told her. "We didn't decorate it, because we didn't know what kind of designs you like, so we decided to leave it alone, for you decorate it."

"Thanks, I appreciate it," Alli told her parents.

"No problem sweetie," Minato told his daughter. "I suggest you go to bed, tomorrow is going to be a full day for you, I hope. We have to test your fighting skills, and other important items we have to take care of."

"Okay," Alli agreed. "Well, I guess this is goodnight then."

"Night," everyone else replied, and Alli walked to where her room was, and laid on the bed, and fell asleep peacefully.

Well, I decided to update before I go camping for the rest of the week. I hope you guys like this. If you have any ideas how this story should turn out then tell me, but NO deaths I can't write those and they are painful to write anyways. Well, I'm tired, and I'm going to bed. Remember to Review!
