Well, here we are with chapter 11. Honestly, this story has hit a large popularity mark, higher then I ever expected it to hit. Needless to say, I'm extremely happy, and this story wouldn't be nearly as popular if not for all of you viewers. Thank you, every last one of you for continued support on this story, and I'll continue to write this story to the best of my abilities, though I really hope people continue to enjoy this.

On a side note, please review more, I enjoy hearing everyone's thoughts, and I do hope you answer the questions at the end as well, but let's get to the reviews.

Silly60: first off, yes, Kushina is the new jinchuriki, but the genjutsu that Mito used on Kasumi wasn't strong enough to knock her out for that long. No, it was the fact that someone she cared so much about died that she was unresponsive. In this sense, the genjutsu just knocked her out for an hour or two, while she became unresponsive due to grief. Hope this made sense.

Llyrica: thanks! I understand if you can't review wall the time, so I'll instead hope to hear more from you next time.

Angel4EverLostInLife: glad you liked the chapter, and I hope you enjoy this chapter as well.

Kani-leek-lover: 1): yeah, death is a major thing in this type of story, but the fact that it was mito, someone who Kasumi looked towards as she couldn't remember her actual mother... The death hit her really hard, and she'll be able to get through it, trust me.

2): Thanks. I honestly thought I would loose a lot of people explaining how the seal matrix worked an all, but it worked out well I see. With Mito, she didn't want to outright teach her, as the younger generation had a new outlook, which is how the seal inventing would be different, as she didn't want to influence Kasumi's thought process. In essence, the Uzumaki are all genius's in one sense, and that's with seals, so expect more from her soon.

3): really? Huh, well seals have literally an infinite range of possibilities in terms of use, so just because she's a medic-nin, doesn't mean that she won't create seals for other purposes, such as trap seals, new and improved versions of old seals, and even barrier seals. Seals are infinitely useful, but the more complicated the seal, the longer it takes to make. But with the medic capabilities, to which she wanted to figure out as much for herself as possible, thus turning down Tsunade, she would become better the Tsunade in the sense that her seals would help with the process. Nothing more or less.

4): Kasumi reminds me of Mavis vermillion from Fairy tail zero when she gets all logical. In fact, that's where I got that from. Kasumi just doesn't care about people trying to cheat people out of things they earned. So, the fact that she did that to the instructors doesn't come as a surprise.

5): That honestly was just an experiment, so when I got positive feedback from it, I decided I would do it more often, and try to have one at the end of every chapter I think I could fit it into. So look forward to more yeah?

Now onto the chapter!

There was a small break between the time of when the newly instated genin would get their team, and the time it would take for them to get their ID cards as it turned out. To say that Kasumi was surprised by this, would be an understatement. It also gave a her a headache, as Kushina reigned terror in the villagers for the time being, as she wouldn't have been able to pull pranks on the populous of Konoha anymore. That isn't to say she would stop her pranks, but to say she wouldn't pull them on civilians anymore.

Kushina was a bit of a devil in that sense.

The gourd of friends, however, decided to get together one last time before they actually became apart of teams, though int was obvious that certain people would be on each other's teams. Mikoto would definitely be on the same team as Minato, they going the top two in the class and all. The one who they didn't know with who was going on their team, however, was the Ino-Shika-cho heir's, and the youngest Uzumaki. Unless they broke tradition, it would end up being two boys with one girl, as was normal for genin teams. The fact that Shikaku and Kasumi were most likely going to end up on the same team, did nothing to distract them.

So instead of worrying about what team they were going to end up on, all of the Genin in the group got together for a party to celebrate passing the academy. It didn't matter that they would end up having to go and fight in the war not to long after, it was the fact that they knew this that helped with the party. They didn't know if any of them would die, as morbid as the thought was, so they were spending as much time as they could with each other before that fateful day that they are sent out into the world to fight.

The three seal users in the group, however, started to help each other even more, and Kasumi had even given the seal design for her own custom seal, before the party had winded down to a close. The seal was ingenious down to the last drop of ink, but before Minato could comment on it, Kasumi stated that she didn't want either of them messing with the design. It was her seal, and she would improve it, no one else. Both her sister, and her blonde friend reluctantly agreed to that, but they understood why. She worked hard for the creation of just that seal, it would be like cheating her if she wasn't the one to improve on the design of said seal.

The part lasted until about midnight before everyone went home to get proper rest, every single one of them excited about what was going to happen the next day involving teams. None more so then Kushina, however, as she was literally yelling happiness about the fact that she was going to get a jõnin sensei. It took Kasumi seven, seven, suppression seals to finally be able to sleep, and even then, Kushina was mumbling in her sleep.

Kushina was just that excited.

The next day, however, instead of excited, Kushina was nervous. Kasumi gave a deadpan look towards her sister's mood shift, but otherwise didn't comment on it. There was no reason for her to think to deeply about it. She was nervous to, no matter what anyone said, as she had no clue who she was working with, and that sent chills down her spine, and not the good kind either.

Kasumi had this same chill down her spine when Kushina was getting geared up for one of her pranking raids. Every time she felt it, something bad happened to her, and she just knew that whatever was going to happen soon, was not going to be. Fun for her.

This theory was quickly proven. It happened before the teacher even stated who the teams were! It all started with Shikaku getting hit in the head by a piece of rubber from Tsume. It caused a chain reaction fairly quickly, to which the Nara actually retaliated. The retaliation was through a simple leg being sent out, causing the Inuzuka to trip, and tumble. The tripped Inuzuka then fell into Aburame Shibi, who was sent crashing into Mikoto, who surprisingly let out a girlish scream. Said scream caused everyone who was falling sleep to jump up, which in turn caused Inoichi to tumble forwards, and hit his head against Kasumi, while his feet hit Choza.

All of that because of a single tripping movement, and Kushina was the only one who was spared.

In an instant, however, everyone froze, a chill going down their spines. Everyone, even Kushina, turned slowly to see a dark aura enveloping Kasumi. When she lifted her head, her hair started to lift up behind her due to her agitated Chakra, and her gaze locked onto Inoichi, who started to sweat under her gaze. Those Violet eyes were not something that you wanted turned towards you when either of the Uzumaki were mad at you. The fact she had a tiny bit of blood coming from her forehead did nothing to make her look sweet in comparison to what she normally looked when she wasn't angry. The blonde looked towards Shikaku for help, but the Nara gave him a salute showing he was on his own.

Turning back towards Kasumi, he gulped, while her look turned feral, and she punched on him. Sweet and hard to make angry aside, Kasumi was vicious when she did get angry, and the fact that her head had just been slammed into a desk did nothing to help the situation.

A few minutes, Kasumi gave a satisfied look, while she turned back towards the front waiting for their teacher. Behind her Inoichi was laying on his desk, a bunch of lumps on his head and face to show exactly where she had been beating him.

When the chunin instructor finally came into the room, he had a scowl on his face at the sight of Kasumi, but he didn't pay attention to her as he addressed the whole class "Alright, you brats may have passed the Genin exam, but you need to remember that outside of this room you are adults, and the village expects you to act as such. Your actions reflect the village. Don't screw this up."

His gaze lingered on Kasumi and Kushina for a second, before he began to red off the teams. Kasumi didn't pay to much attention at first, but the seconds she heard one of her friends name, she paid extra attention.

"Team 6, Namikaze Minato, Jinshu Ren, and Kitono under Jiraiya. Kyo. Team 7, Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto, and Uzumaki Kasumi, under Senju Tsunade. Team 8 Inuzuka Tsume, Aburame Shibi and Nezumi Kaito, under Hiroto Kunita team nine is in circulation still, so team 10 will consist of Nara Shikaku, Akamichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi under Sarutobi Junchi." The chunin stated with a neutral look, though the shock of some of the teams rippled through the class.

Kasumi was, to say the least, both shocked, and annoyed. She was shocked because it seemed they did forgo tradition in favor of keeping good teams together, and most likely because of the war as well. She was annoyed, however, was because Tsunade got the last laugh. No matter what she did now, she wouldn't be able to refuse Tsunade's help, as she was now her jõnin Sensei of all things. It annoyed her to no end, as she honestly expected Tsunade to not want to bother with Genin. Then again, the team was a complete team in terms of Kunoichi. It was literally a Kunoichi only team, and that seemed to be something that had sparked interest in Tsunade.

Letting her head fall against the desk once again, Kasumi waited in breathless silence, until she heard a familiar female voice say "I'm here for Team 7."

Kasumi's Violet gaze snapped up, into a flare at the greatest Kunoichi of all time. Her stupid smug look grated Kasumi's nerves. It seemed that Tsunade didn't know the meaning of the word 'No' in terms of training like she wanted. Kasumi wanted to test herself without help, but that was blown out the window the second she heard who her Sensei was.

Getting up with a sigh, Kasumi followed her sister, and her friend out as they traveled through Konoha a bit until she was greeted with a familiar sight of a certain park. The sight of it reminded Kasumi of what had happened between her and Shikaku here, and an almost wistful look came across her features. Shaking her head slightly in amusement, she ran to catch up with her team as they stopped near a small pond that had some ducks in it.

Tsunade turned towards them, a smile on her face "Ok, now, I'm not going to test you any farther, as I know both of you two, and I'm pretty sure the Uchiha wouldn't let the heiress out without sufficient school. I also know that you three are friends, so there is no need for a teamwork test. Instead we'll just introduce ourselves, how's that?"

Mikoto seemed to be the only one with a confused look, but seeing the either, exasperated or annoyed looks from the two Uzumaki, she kept silent about why they weren't being tested. Instead she asked "Um... Could you give us an example Senju-sensei?"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at the formal tone Mikoto gave her, and said "Sure, but please just call me Tsunade, those two are going to." She pointed towards the siblings, who stuck their tongue a out at her, or at least Kushina did "Ok, well, my name is Senju Tsunade, though I prefer just Tsunade. I like Medicine, Serious Kunoichi and Sakè. I dislike Fangirls, and perverts. My hobbies include finding new medicine, and gambling. My dream for the future has already been achieved as far as I'm concerned."

The Slug princess finished with a smile, before gesturing towards Kasumi, who reluctantly said "I'm Uzumaki Kasumi. I like my famil and friends, Ramen, Manjū, sealing, and medicine. I dislike Fangirls, and having others help me with my projects." She gave a pointed look to Tsunade who didn't look ashamed at all " My hobbies are studying medicine, and creating new seals. My dream for the future is to become a top class Medic-nin."

Kushina jumped up when it was her turn, as she enthusiastically said "My name is Uzumaki Kushina Dattebane! I like Ramen, my sister, and friends, and practicing with my sword! I dislike the time I have to wait for Ramen to heat up, people messing with my friends, and a certain flaky blonde. My hobbies include eating Ramen, making seals with my sister, and pranking. My dream for the future is to be the first female Hokage Dattebane!"

Kasumi and Mikoto both let out a laugh by how energetic Kushina seemed in general, but when they calmed down, Mikoto's calm voice said " My name is Uchiha Mikoto. I like Sweets, cabbage, and my friends. I dislike bullies and sour food. My hobbies include helping Kushina with her pranks, reading, and practicing. My dream for the future is to have a family."

Tsunade gave a small hum of acknowledgment at their words, before she grinned, and said "Ok, with how each other your skill sets work, this team will most likely end up as a front line team. Considering that Kasumi-chan wants to be a medic, this means I need to make sure that your just as battle ready, and I'm not talking about your seals either."

Kasumi raised an eyebrow at Tsunade, finally relenting to the fact that she was going to teach them, but she didn't know what Tsunade actually ment by 'battle ready' for a medic. As far as she knew, they didn't get into the fighting unless they needed to try and heal someone. Most of the time, medics were neutral as well, so they couldn't fight. The fact that she was saying that she was going to make Kasumi into a battle ready version of a regular Medic-nin.

"I bet your confused, aren't you?" Tsunade asked with a grin "how about a demonstration then?"

All three of the girls watched with renewed interest, as Tsunade walked up to a tree and made out like she was going to flick it. In an instant, all three girl's eyes widened to a marginal degree as the single finger flick caused the tree to splinter into pieces.

Needless to say, all three girls listened to whatever the slug princess had to say for the remaining time they had with her. It was a smart idea as well, as due to this the three learned that chakra control was the reason why she could do somthing like that. Kushina deflated at that, figuring out fairly quickly that she would never be able to learn it, what, with her huge chakra reserves? It was impossible. Mikoto seemed reluctant to learn it as well due to the fact that her chakra reserves, while not overly large, were still larger then Kasumi's, the one who knew for sure that she could learn it.

By the Time they actually started to train, Kasumi was extremely excited about what she was going to learn. This wasn't to say that the other two weren't excited either, but it seemed that they would have to seek out new jutsu on their own. Tsunade was going to be getting them into shape faster then anyone else could have predicted, with her chakra control exercises that she taught them, and the physical exercise they would go through, but the actual jutsu, they would have to find themselves.

Both Kushina and Kasumi, however, had a lot of Suiton and Fuiton scrolls left behind by Mito when they went through the house, and they knew that she left them there on purpose. She even left behind several seal formula ideas that she had for Kasumi, as the younger immediately grabbed the notes when she saw them, rushing towards her room. A lot of the seals were impractical, her own included, as they took anywhere from thirty minutes, to 4 hours to make simply due to the complexity of the sealing matrix, as some of the seals had a quad layer chakra compositor that prevented tampering with by anyone but the user.

Without a doubt, this was Uzumaki Fuinjutsu.

Other things the three girls learned that day was that all three of them would learn at least basic Iryojutsu. When questioned, e slug princess stated that it would probably save their lives one day, as if Kasumi was down, and there wasn't another medic-nin around, one of them would be able to patch the others up. Even Kushina could learn the basic's as it didn't take as much chakra control to coax tissue to heal. Wounds muscle deep or more, however, was something that actual Medic-nin's would need to be around for.

By the time they were done with the day, Kasumi had been thinking about something, and she had honestly been trying not to think about it, but now, she felt guilty. She had wanted to tell both Mito and Kushina about her past life, but she could never build up the courage, as she didn't know how they would react. The only reason why she even told Shikaku, was because he had an open mind when it came to things like this. She wasn't proud of that, but it was the truth. She was afraid of what would happen when she told Kushina, and she really didn't want to keep it to herself anymore.

With her having a team now, the sense of guilt was growing even more, as she was not only with her Aunt figure Tsunade, who was their sensei, but she had her teammates of a friend and sister. The whole thing just continued to add guilt onto the small read headed girl, to the point she was just about to break, but she held together by only thinking of her fear of rejection.

Now, however, she didn't think she could act like herself anymore while keeping this secret. So with a worried though, Kasumi said "Ano... Can I tell you three something?"

The three in question turned towards her with curious looks, while Tsunade's eyes narrowed slightly seeing the expression the girl was given "I don't see why not."

Shifting a little bit under the Sannin's gaze, she looked towards her sister and friend, before she spilled her guts, metaphorically. She explained everything, and even took the time to prove that she was telling the truth, but by the end, Kasumi was looking at the ground, tears threatening to break loose as she expected one of her friends to get angry with her, tell at her, or even attack her for keeping this. Instead, Kushina proved her unpredictability by hugging her sister. The action caused the smaller Uzumaki to freeze, but it was what Kushina said next that really got to her.

"I don't care." Was all Kushina said. Three simple words, that impacted Kasumi enough to actually start crying in relief. The third time in her life she cried, and it was only this time that the crying was because of happiness instead sadness.

When the two finally broke away from each other, Kushina sent a grin towards her sister and said "While I would have been happier if you had told me earlier, I understand. Don't worry though! Your my Imouto and nothing is going to change that 'ttebane!"

Kasumi laughed a bit at the verbal tick, before she gave a happy nod. Turning towards Mikoto and Tsunade, she saw that they had small smiles on their faces as well. The sight made Kasumi even more happy, as she ran over towards then with grins. It wasn't until latter that they decided to go home, though Kasumi said that she needed to get something from the store for dinner.

The girl was looking at a package of leeks with an annoyed look. The annoyed look grew when she saw the price, and she grumbled "Cheapskates... Who pays 350 Ryo for leeks?"

Putting the vegetables back onto the pile it was from, she turned towards the Potato's right as Minato burst through the door, a panicked look on his face. In an instant, Kasumi stopped what she was doing and looked at the blonde boy, just as he spoke.

"Kushina's been kidnapped!"

Omake: {Never prank Kasumi.}

Kushina was sitting down at her desk, her face down on the flat surface. Most people wouldn't care, as most tended to ignore her, or insult her hair, but the normally boisterous girl not being loud? That was abnormal. The fact that Kasumi wasn't around either just added to the worry, as the girl had never missed a day of school unless it was important.

The first to ask about what was going on was Mikoto, who asked "Kushina... Is somthing wrong?"

"I'm doomed..." The red headed girl let out, not even moving from her position on the desk.

The black haired girl sweat-dropped at the reaction from the redhead "What? Is there a test you forgot about today or something?"

Kushina moved her head slightly, shaking her head "Worse. I accidentally hit Kasumi with one of my pranks."

Everyone, absolutely everyone, in the room froze. At the exact same time, they yelled "You idiot!" Towards Kushina, who didn't even flinch, already expecting this.

Everyone in the school new the normally level headed girl. She wasn't all that dangerous under normal circumstances. The calm demeanor, however, hide a fierce vengeance streak in the girl when it came to non lethal things. There was a reason why Kasumi was on par with Shikaku in terms of mental ability, and the fact that Kasumi was hit by one of Kushina's pranks, made everyone scared.

The girl would probably think it was meant for her, and due to the competitive streak that all Uzumaki have, she would want to get back at the one who got her. The fact that it was own sister meant nothing in this type of situation. She would get Kushina back tenfold for whatever it was that said redhead did to her sister.

Shikaku just shook his head in pity "It was nice knowing you Kushina."

Inoichi gave a salute, along with fake tears "Your memory will be honored!"

Choza gave a salute as well, though he had his other arm out with one of his chip bags "Last meal for the lady?"

Kushina sent a death glare at her friends, as she said "Shut up. I'm not going to die from this Dattebane!"

The others didn't look all that convinced, though Minato was still silent as he tried to think of something, anything, to say to Kasumi before the prank could be set out, but even he knew that this wouldn't work. So with a sigh, he stood up to make his way to find said girl, when he felt something break. Looking down, he had just enough time to realize that he had a rope around his leg, before he was dragged upwards, a yell coming out of his mouth.

at the same time, Kushina was dragged upwards, a scream of fear coming from her. The two eventually collided, and the ropes around their ankles started to wind them up together in a cocoon of rope. Once they stopped spinning, a whistling sound was heard, as the two were then pelleted with balls of paint in various colors. To add insult to injury, most of it was bright neon colors. To top it all off, however, something hit the cocooned boy and girl, sending them towards the wall, only to hit a false wall, and fall into a pit of mud.

A clicking sound was heard not to long after, to show Kasumi standing over then, a camera in her hands, and a blank look on her face. The two cocooned ninja in training looked at her with wide eyes, as she said "Don't prank me again."

She waved the picture of the two in front of them showing her blackmail material, before she walked away leaving the two to find a way out themselves.

That is why you never prank Uzumaki Kasumi.

Dun, dun, duuuuunnn! Cliffhanger!

Sorry I had to do that, but I'm going to have a chapter dedicated to the Kushina being kidnapped part, as well as things surrounding it, such as before they find her, during the rescue, and somewhat after the rescue, so I hope you don't get to made about the cliffhanger. Being honest, this is the first time I've done a cliffhanger, so I don't know if someone will be annoyed with this or not, but I do hope that no one gets unreasonably annoyed, as cliffhangers are annoying, and I'm the one writing this!

Ok, now I wanna say this. Is story as gotten popular enough that there are close to a hundred followers, and favorites apiece, as well as two communities. The views are at over 5,000, so I wanna say this once again. I wanna see a story where it's like one of those 'Reading of' things involving this. Ill send you everything you need, drafts included, but if anyone is interested, and they don't have a project that they think is incredibly important, I would like to buff out details for it. Please PM me for details!

Ok, moving on to the questions.

What did you think of the domino effect that happened?

We're the team placements interesting?

What do you think of the little surprise I gave your with Tsunade?

What did you think of Mikoto's likes and dislikes?

Did the training regime make sense?

What did you think of Kasumi finally spilling her guts with her past?

Did what Kushina do make sense?

How do you feel about the cliffhanger?

What did you think of this omake?

Well, that's about it with this, so I hope people review, and enjoy this chapter!
