DragonStar22: Eye smiles, "Hey guys, here's Chapter three! I own everything!"

Lawyers show up glaring, "What was that?"

DragonStar22: Eyes widen, "Um, I was talking about my OC and the teddy bear. I don't own Naruto I never have."

Lawyers stare blankly, "and?"

"What, I have to say that too?", "Yes!"

Dragonstar mumbles under her breath, "Fine. Naruto is owned by Maasashi Kishimoto."

Summary: What if someone helped Naruto at the beginning of the story? What if he had a Guardian Angel? It'd be easy right? What happens when a Teenage delinquent from another world becomes the guardian Angel of Naruto? Specifically our world, should be a piece of cake right? It's not that easy as it seems especially since you're a kid half of the time. Oh, and a lot of people can't see you. "I don't know if it's more likely that I'm lucky or if I greatly amuse someone up there."

Chapter 3:

I stood in front of Naruto and caught the hand that was going to snatch him up.

...Well, that's what I tried to do. He sneezed really hard instead.

I sweat dropped, the guy's hand just phased through me. 'So I can't help him that way...DING! ... Ooh, this is a good idea - maybe a little childish, but eh, you gotta do what ya gotta do!'

I ran back and forth, waving my hands all through the guy, and making him have a sneezing and shivering fit.

I looked back at Naruto to see his face twisted in confusion, looking directly at me. 'That's right, he's the only one who can see me.'

"Hey, I'm giving you a distraction here! Go and hide in that alley over there before someone notices. I can't keep this up forever, you know."

My eyes widened a little. 'Man, so this is how my voice sounded when I was little...I didn't think it was that high.'

He looked at me warily, his eyes darting between me and the guy, "Why are you-"

I cut him off, my voice going in and out as I phased between the guy. "Hey...don't worry...they can't...see me. I'll explain... why ...you can...see... after you hide... Now go!"

He nodded and slyly ran out of the crowd unnoticed, into the alley across the street. I fazed through the guy a couple of more times; making faces at him before stopping. The villagers all looked at him in confusion. Then one yelled, "Where did the demon brat go?!"

"I don't see him; the little demon must've gotten away!"

I laughed and walked over to Naruto as they formed some kind of search party for him. 'Idiots. They want to start a search party over something so~ petty.' I grinned at Naruto. "Hehehe, that was kind of fun. You're safe now Naruto."

Naruto looked at me in confusion. "W-why did you do that for me? Who are you, little girl? "

A tic mark appeared on my head when he called me a little girl. 'I'm not little! Rico scare tactic.' My bear changed into a blue tiger striped 0.45 Desert Eagle. My eyes narrowed as I pointed it at him with one hand. Don't worry; I'm not going to shoot him with a dying will bullet just yet... just worry him a bit. "Hey, you don't have much room to talk! Besides, I'm only 3 years younger than you right now. So you can't call me little kid - or short for that matter." My eyes narrowed and I waved the gun vaguely. "Do it again and see what happens."

Naruto raised his hands in surrender. "Sure, sure! I won't call you little. Just put whatever that thing is away!" I smiled, and the gun changed back into Rico the teddy bear. Naruto sighed in relief and plopped down, throwing me a wary look. "So, who are you, and why'd ya do that for me? Don't you know I'm the demon brat?"

I scowled internally at the demon part; I could tell by his bitter tone that it really meant, 'Don't you hate me?' 'Damn villagers'. My face was a blank mask, but I quickly changed it, tilting my head with a small smile. "If I hated you, you would know. I actually like you. Trust me; I would've ignored you if I didn't. The name's Keiko. Congrats Naruto, you have now gotten the most badass Guardian Angel! I'm kind of like a ghost right now - that's why nobody can see me except for you."

Naruto's eyes widened, "WHAT!?"

I quickly shushed him. "Be quiet, baka, you don't want that mob to find you." He nodded slowly; I could tell that he wasn't as afraid of me as he had been. "Now, before you ask, I just became your guardian angel. If I was your guardian before now I would've helped you out when you were little. Sadly, that wasn't the case. But I'm here now, so know that I'll always be behind you if you need me. There are things that I can't do and there are some things you're going to have to do and deal with on your own, but I'll guide you all the way. I'm your friend and I would be even if I wasn't your guardian angel..." I trailed off, suddenly noticing how dark it had become. "Hey, it's getting late. How about we head home? We've got a lot of stuff to do tomorrow. We have to have a little fun and prepare you before the day of your test, don't we?" I smirked slightly. "You do want ta be a ninja right?"

His eyes lit up with determination and happiness and he smiled his signature foxy grin. "Right! I'm gonna be the Hokage someday, the strongest ninja in the village. And the villagers won't disrespect me - instead, they'll look up to me! Believe it!" He punched his little fist into the air, vibrant with energy.

I smiled. "It'll come true one day, Naruto."

'But I'll make you recognize the responsibilities and duties the Hokage has to bear before you take on that tittle. Right now, you only want the respect from your village that comes along with it, to be known as a powerful Shinobi that's not to be reckoned with. If that's the case, you could just be a Sannin. That seems to be more your speed... But maybe you'll change. And if so, I'll help you achieve your dream.'

2 Days Later...

Something was nagging at me, as Naruto and I arrived at the Academy. I think I'm forgetting something...shit!

The gennin test is today, and I totally forgot about it.

Face palming myself repeatedly, I stopped when I heard Naruto's name being called to take the test.

Shaking off my mini moment of stupidity, I followed Naruto into the testing room.

This part is going to go along exactly the same way it did in the anime. We didn't train at all; unless you count sneaking around the village playing pranks on all the businesses that kicked Naruto out once he stepped in the building as infiltration training. In that case we trained a whole lot.

Naruto got into position, "Clone jutsu!"

I sighed, my hand running down my face as I floated upside down next to Naruto when he did the clone jutsu. I stared balefully at the clone, which more closely resembled a corpse. 'Maybe we should've trained instead of pranking the Hokage monument... but then, he wouldn't be able to get the Forbidden Scroll. I need to copy some jutsu from it too, and I already told Naruto all about the fox and his parents yesterday, so there shouldn't be a problem when Mizuki says it.

I glanced at Mizuki, catching a slight smirk before it quickly disappeared. My eyes narrowed at him, I got a sudden feeling that he did something while Naruto was presenting his clone jutsu.

Iruka's lips and eyebrow twitches. "YOU FAIL!"

Naruto gritted his teeth, and walked outside of the Academy. Before Mizuki could suggest that they should pass Naruto to Iruka. I followed after him, glancing back to Mizuki as I passed him. That, went a little different than what I remember. Has my presence start to change things already? That got me think 'in about how different Naruto reacted to me telling him about the fox, as opposed to how he found out about it in the Anime. He was shocked; sure who wouldn't be, but since I told him told him calmly and comforted him afterwards he was alright for the most part. Don't get me wrong, he still has his doubts and worries about the fox, but he's not as worried as he was when Mizuki told him. Plus knowing that his parents didn't abandon him, soothed his inner doubts a little bit.

I turned myself right-side-up again, frowning. I still don't know why the old man didn't tell him. Being told who you are after years of wondering hurts so much more than biting the bullet and finding out early. If you ask me, the old man made it worse. Naruto easily could've turned his back on the village if he didn't think he had any ties to it.

Yeah, that's right, I told him about his parents and who they were. I didn't see the point in hiding it from him anyway. Besides, something tells me I did the right thing. All yesterday he seemed like a ton of weight had been lifted off his shoulders. I even convinced him to not hate the Kyuubi - to be honest, I think something happened to make it rampage through the village. I wouldn't be surprised if someone put a strong genjutsu on him to make him do it. Wouldn't it be a shocker if Tobi did it? Imagine Hidan's reaction, that would be hilarious.

A small, sniffling voice broke me out of my thoughts. "K-kei-chan, I failed. I failed you and my parents."

'Wha?...' My eyes snapped to Naruto. We were outside now, and he was sitting on the swing, looking at all the students with their parents. I guess I was too busy thinking about the Hidan's reaction to Tobi controlling the Kyuubi. I blinked in surprise before smirking at him. "Hey, who said you failed anybody? The story's just begun. Besides, I bet you'll become a ninja by the end of this day. Trust me." I patted him reassuringly on the back.

He opened his mouth to reply, but Mizuki showed up at that moment. I smirked, but my eyes narrowed at him dangerously as he pulled Naruto aside. I'll make sure you get yours when the time goes. I didn't forget that stunt you pulled today during the exam.' I knew that Naruto would be good on his own for a while, so I dashed off into the woods where I knew Naruto would bring the scroll, teddy bear on my head. I had some plans I needed to put in action. Plus, I needed to read that guide book Kazumi gave me. I needed to see if I could make my own special bullet. If so... then shit is about to GO DOWN!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ( Later that night: The Scroll~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sitting on a branch in a tree, I watched as Iruka came on to the scene where Naruto had been practicing the shadow clone jutsu.

Iruka walked up to him and put his hands on his hips, face twitching. He chuckled darkly. "It's all over, Naruto."

Naruto puts his hand on the back of his head, grinning happily at Iruka. "Iruka- sensei!" Iruka looked at him, confused. "Huh?"

Naruto smiled sheepishly, cutting off his laughter. "Caught me already? Not bad. You're quick, sensei. I only had time to learn one technique."

Iruka inspected him in slight awe and disbelief. 'He's been out here practicing! I can tell how hard he's been working.' Naruto was grinning and laughing without a clue of Mizuki had set him up for.

Naruto spread his arms wide. "Watch, Iruka-sensei! I'm gonna show you this amazing jutsu, and you're gonna let me graduate, and then everything will be okay! That's the way it works, right? Anyone who learns a jutsu from this scroll passes."

Iruka stared at the scroll in alarm, "Huh?! Where'd you get that idea?!"

'There's my cue!'

I jumped down from the tree and landed right next to Iruka. "From Mizuki," I answered.

Surprising a chunnin: not so wise. He jumped and threw a shuriken at me.

"Ha-ha I'm a ghost! That'll just go straight through me and out the back. I'll be fine."

I looked at the hole in my stomach and hunched over with a glare at Iruka. I was wrong, oh so very wrong. The damn thing went through me alright. I now had a hole in my stomach - not bleeding, more like the shuriken had just passed straight through - but hurting like...like... I don't know really. But that shit HURTS! Probably not as much as it would have were I alive, but it still HURT!

Naruto ran over to me. "Are you okay?!" I waved him off, still pouting, but starting to feel numbness instead of pain.

"I'll be okay. It still hurts, but the hole is disappearing, see?" I stood up straight and pointed to the slowly reforming hole.

"A-a ghost? Naruto, what's going on?" Iruka stuttered at first, watching my transparent form heal before his eyes. Well, transparent for him, anyway. I had found a spell in a book the last Ani-guardian had left in the pouch, which let people other than Naruto see me for 3 hours at a time. The downside was that I'd look transparent and my voice, no matter how loud I shouted, would remain a whisper. People also had to be slightly open-minded and well-meaning to see me in the first place, which was something I had added to the spell as an afterthought. I hope I did it right - I couldn't have someone like Danzo or Mizuki seeing me too soon, now could I?

I locked eyes with Iruka. "Never mind me, I can explain that later. The problem at hand is that Mizuki tricked Naruto into stealing the scroll."

Iruka opened his mouth to protest, and I spoke over him. "Naruto wouldn't have known about something like this scroll in the first place, much less where it was, would he? Someone had to tell him, and that person was Mizuki."

Iruka eyes narrowed. He straightened, going into lecture mode, but his eyes suddenly widened and his whole body tensed. "MOVE!"
