Chapter 3: Bonds

It's been three weeks since the arrival of Wendy and Carla and everything been going great. Wendy soaked up everything that Jiraiya taught her. Her charka control was amazing and her charka reserves were chunin level. Her taijutsu was that of a genin but she never really was a fighter since she mainly supported the mages back in Fairy Tail. Since it was obvious for many reasons that Wendy nature was wind she was learning wind jutsu. She was glad to know that her dragon slayer abilities still worked in this world. Even though it's a little weaker than before she wasn't worried about it since she could just eat the air or use wind charka to power up her abilities. She also had Carla with her and knew Naruto would protect her too since the blond promised and since the Hokage was going to make sure that any mission she was given, Naruto would be with her. It was like he was her bodyguard but she didn't mind that at all. She really liked having him around her. The two of them was pretty much un-separable. She felt safe with him. Of course Carla was there but that was a different story and another problem.

Carla was also able to use charka. Of course her reserves were way smaller but it would expand over time, but she seemed to have no interest in trying to learn how to use this new energy to them called charka. No matter how many times Jiraiya tried to get her to train with them, the stubborn cat would refuse saying it was beneath her. The only reason Carla had perfect charka control was because Wendy begged her to learn it with her.

The other thing was that Carla did not seem to like Naruto at all. Each time Wendy asked the Exceed about it she would reply with an answer like he smells like a fox or he is to dumb for his own good. Wendy knew Naruto can be slow at times but she really wanted her two best friends to get along.

Wendy, thinking about this problem, sighed. She was now sitting in Naruto's apartment looking for something to eat. When she got to his place, after a week of just staring at ramen, she went to get food for his place with the money the Hokage gave her to start off with until she went on missions. Naruto was not happy to find that he was, for now on, going to have a more balanced diet.

Wendy just finished her meal and looked at the clock to only see it was barely 3 o'clock. Carla was gone because she had a meeting with the Hokage and Naruto was off training for his match in two days. She hated being alone but she knew at the moment that it was necessary so deciding that she wanted to walk around the village for fresh air, she left.

With Naruto

Naruto was happy with his progress and was pretty sure that he would destroy Neji in the upcoming match. He now had better charka control and a ton of jutsu in his arsenal. He already had mastered wind charka thanks to tips from Wendy and had almost mastered water and fire thanks to Kurama. Naruto also learned some fuinjutsu. He was a not a master at it but he learned plenty of seals and even made his own seals. He was surprised that Kurama knew some things about seals and even taught Naruto one that he said his mother had taught him. After Kurama said that he started to soak up all he could about seals. He was now even able to make some of them without writing them down.

He had just finished training and his sensei left saying he had tomorrow off to rest for his match and left after that to probably peek on girls.

Naruto sighed. He really had a lot on his mind. He was wondering if he could really keep his promise to Wendy. He knew he would be able to protect her but he didn't know if he could get her back home. The only way he thought he could do that was by learning seals but even with that he wasn't sure. On top of that no matter what he did, that damn cat seemed to not like him at all.

With a sigh, he was off to walk around the village.

Within the village

Sakura and Ino was walking around the village arguing with each other saying who would see Sasuke first when he got back from training. As they was walking, they saw a pretty blue haired girl with hair all the way down to her waist with a white, yellow, and blue dress on with what seems to look like wings at her ankles that pointed upward walking towards them down the street with her head down looking like she was thinking about something.

The two girls looked at each other for a moment before Ino decided to speak in a hush tone.

"Hey who is she? I haven't seen her around here before."

Sakura looked on for a second and then remembered something.

"I'm not really sure but assuming we both never seen her before, she might be the girl that's staying with Naruto. I heard she had blue hair and was really pretty."

"Come to think of it I have heard about it. I think her name is Wendy. Let's go get to know her and invite her to lunch. I also want to know why she stays with Naruto."

Sakura nodded her head thinking why her blond teammate didn't introduce her yet and shouted," Hey you!"

Wendy was not sure where she was going. She had her head down trying not to make herself noticeable; she was still very shy and didn't really know many people in the village yet. She also couldn't understand why people looked at her the way they did. Their eyes were mixed with fear and concern and surprising disappointment at the same time. It was almost the same way that they all looked at Naruto. She didn't understand why when they didn't know her. It was very few but it was still disturbing. It reminded her to ask Naruto why they look at him in disgust. Her attention was brought up to shouting.

"Hey, your name is Wendy right?" the pink haired girl said.

Wendy looked up and looked around until she finally said, "Me?"

Ino and Sakura both laughed at the blue haired girl antics.

Ino stopped laughing and said, "Yes you. Your name is Wendy right and you stay with Naruto right?"

Wendy only nodded her head. She didn't know who the girls were except that she saw the pink haired one in a picture on Naruto's dresser. She thinks her name was Sakura. She remembered the things Naruto said about her. He thought she was very pretty, but Wendy didn't like when he mentioned that she would always hit him and for some reason felt jealous when Naruto said she was pretty to him. For some reason that also made her very mad.

"So how are you enjoying the village," Sakura said breaking her out of her thoughts.

"I'm-m-m enjoying the village. I'm learning a lot," Wendy said with a forced smile. She was still a little shy and didn't trust to many people. She knew she wasn't supposed to mention anything about where she was from. The only people she could talk about that with are Naruto, Jiraiya, and the Hokage.

"I'm glad you are enjoying it. I'm sorry you are staying with Naruto though. I bet that idiot is always ruining the day for you. I'm sorry about him," Sakura said feeling bad for the girl.

Wendy was a little shock to hear this coming from his teammate but before she could even say anything, Ino spoke up.

"I know right. He never does anything right and he is so weak. He always tries to do better than Sasuke-kun even though Sasuke is the best," Ino agreed with Sakura.

Wendy was about to say something but was stopped again by Sakura this time.

"I know right and he always tries to ask me out. Who would want to go out with an idiot that almost got my Sasuke- kun killed. I bet he was just doing the things he did to get attention. It should have been him that almost died."

Naruto was walking though the village but he saw Wendy talking to Sakura and Ino so he decided to eavesdrop on them. He heard every word that they said and with each sentence that came out of their mouths was like a slap in the face to him. He was about to walk away until he heard a voice surprisingly speak up.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!"

Ino, Sakura, and Naruto, who just came out of his hiding place, looked at the blue headed girl in shock. Naruto was behind Wendy so she didn't know he was there yet but Sakura and Ino saw him but paid him no attention.

"What the hell did you just say to me?" Sakura was fuming over this.

"I said shut the hell up. Naruto has been nothing but nice to me since I got here. He is a great person and nothing like what you two are saying. He always put others before him all the time and keeps his feelings to himself and I heard about that mission. While everyone else was fighting and as soon as you heard that Sasuke might be dead, you left the client that you was protecting and ran straight to Sasuke and cried putting the mission at risk of failing. You are the weak one, while Naruto is the strong one. You have no right to talk about him like you know him you selfish cold hearted bitch," and with that Wendy turned around and started to leave.

Wendy was surprise to see Naruto and she grabbed his hand and walked off pulling a stunned, and blushing, Naruto and leaving two shocked girls.

Kurama saw the whole thing and was laughing his tails off.

"So she can come out of that shell if she wants to. I'm also starting to think about something. I sense a great power from her. I know she uses something called dragon slayer magic, sky dragon to be more correct. I have to tell the kit to ask her about it another time. She does have my approval though. Maybe she is the so call dragon we are supposed to protect."

With that said, the fox went back to sleep.

After that Wendy and Naruto went to the Hokage Mountain and sat on the fourth's head. Naruto's favorite place to be when he is in thought and more recently Wendy's also. After a few minutes of a moment of silence, Naruto finally said something.

"Thank you," Naruto said to Wendy.

The young dragon slayer looked up at Naruto with a slight blush. She just nodded her head still not believing that Naruto actually saw her mad. She didn't mean to yell like that. She knew why she was mad but she never saw herself as the type to completely use such language like that. She felt like Naruto was rubbing of on her.

"No problem Naruto. Just make sure you win your match ok," Wendy slightly paused and looked down with her face feeling hot. "I will be cheering for you no matter what," she whispered hoping Naruto didn't hear her. Naruto, being a ninja, did hear her and said something.

"Of course I will win with you cheering me on. I feel when you watch me I can do anything. I will kick Neji's ass. Believe it," he said with his biggest grin looking towards Wendy.

Wendy instantly felt her face getting hotter. Wendy didn't know why she was acting like this. She wondered if Carla was home so she could ask her about it. She simply nodded again and they talked about their day just enjoying each other's company.

Hokage's office

Meanwhile a certain exceed was fuming. She really didn't like what she was seeing. She was sitting in the Hokage's office, after what seemed to be like years of talking about why she should use her charka and finally agreeing with him, staring at a ball that showed both Naruto and a very red Wendy talking on what seemed to be a mountain with faces on it.

The Third finally said something to her breaking her out of her trance.

"It's good to know that Naruto and Wendy are such good friends though it seems that Wendy might be starting to feel more with the blush on her face," he said while exhaling the smoke from his pipe.

Carla scowled at the mention of this which did not go unnoticed by the aged man. He looked at her and after a moment of silence decided to speak.

"Why do you not like Naruto? I noticed that you choose to avoid him instead of trying to get to know him. He really is a good boy. I do plan on him replacing me in the future," the third said eyeing the fuming cat careful for any body language that might tell him anything.

"For one, he is completely stupid. I really don't know who decides to be a ninja and run around in a bright orange jumpsuit. He can't seem to clean up after himself. The village doesn't seem to like him from the glares he gets and now those same people put their dirty glares on Wendy. I am simply upset and he smells like a fox."

The third was completely shocked at the white cat. She could smell the Kyubi. He might have to tell her about that right now but can't risk her treating Naruto bad, even worst have her have Wendy do the same.

"Naruto is a hero of this village. I can't tell you the reason why right now but he is. He always put others before himself and holds his feelings inside. He would even throw his life away for those villagers. He always does what's best and you should try to get to know him. He might change your mind during his match," the third said.

Carla thought for a few minutes and finally sighed for the second time today in agreement.

"I will see how he does and then I will make my decision about him" with that said Carla left for home.

The third looked at the retreating cat and took another poof of his pipe. "She must be her daughter. She was the exact same when she came here before she left." With that said he locked his door and pulled out a familiar orange book and started giggling like a certain perverted man. A certain anbu was looking and shaking her head thinking of ways to destroy all the books in the bookstore and a certain white-haired man.

Elsewhere

"Are all the preparations complete?" A dark cloaked figure said in a dark room with a single light.

Another figure came out and stopped so that his face was barely visible. This figure was no other then Kabuto Yakushi.

"They are complete along with my other surprise for them." He said with a smirk on his face.

There was a slight chuckle and finally the figure showed his face to only be no other than the traitorous snake bastard Orochimaru.

"Kukukukukuku. Excellent. You know your job. Now leave." With that said Kabuto left.

"The leaf shall fall before me."
