Hi sorry for the late update but I did try to write it in my creative writing class but my teacher made us do a poetry circle and I only got to write the first part of this chapter. When I got home I had to work on the fence all day and just couldn't get the time to write this.

So far no one has tried to guess what Umiko does for a living and I sort of realized that it might be a bit hard for you to guess right now so I'm giving you a clue. When Umiko meets with the rest of the Rookie Nine and Team Guy there will be clues that help reveal what she does and who she is. Also this contest will be over when Umiko meets Neji because at that point I'm going to reveal what she does, as for who she is…… well I won't reveal that until later.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

'Voices in Sasuke head/ inner Sakura'

"Bijuu speaking"

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Sasuke was getting pissed; it has been exactly thirty-five minutes and twenty-two seconds since Naruto and Umiko went to go see the Hokage (not that he was counting or anything) Somewhere in the back of his mind Sasuke was mildly impressed with how fast Naruto was able to get to see the Godaime when most people had to wait at least an hour. Still it didn't help the fact that Naruto had in all purposes left them there. They were his teammates; they had every right to know why the village hated Naruto as Umiko did. Sasuke could tell that Sakura was thinking along the same lines by the way she kept tapping her fingers and glancing toward the Hokage office.

Sasuke was jolted out of his thought coughgrumblecough when he heard Naruto yell "What the hell are you planning?!" followed by a red blur zooming past him crackling madly. Naruto followed shortly afterwards looking both frantic and worried at the same time chasing said red blur. Sasuke glanced at Sakura and saw her give a tiny nod back at him, he nodded back and together they went running after their teammate and his fiancée.

As Sasuke and Sakura chased down Naruto and Umiko Sasuke realized that whatever training Umiko had gone through it was a lot more than the average civilian, if she was able to just barely keep out of reach of the three genin. He noted that they were heading toward the Hokage monument and grew slightly worried about whatever she was planning. Still he couldn't help but respect her and grow just a little bit more suspicious of her when she scaled up the Hokage monument with nothing but her bare hands. When they reached the top he saw that Umiko looked slightly winded but over all just fine, she noticed them and flashed a quick grin.

"Umiko what are you planning?" Naruto asked somehow looking both serious and nervous at the same time.

"Oh don't worry I'm just going to use 'that'" Umiko replied and then let out a shrill whistle while digging into her pockets. Naruto lost his worried look and then let a large grin cover his face before he started laughing.

"What are you doing?" Sakura asked.

"Oh, just giving a welcoming back present to Konoha." Umiko said while pulling out a small brown bag and then turned to look at the sky. Sasuke looked upwards as well and noticed that a large multitude of birds were heading toward them.

"What are you planning?" He asked slightly curious as to what they were doing.

"Wait and see, I soo wouldn't want to be down there when they go off." Naruto said between laughs, it was then that the birds swarmed them and Umiko went to work. Sasuke and Sakura watched as she pulled out a loaf of bread and crumbled it, then she scatter the crumbs to the pigeons, she then reached into her bag and pulled out a handful of small explosives and started talking to the birds.

"Alright birds I want you to take these and drop them all over the village, make sure that there isn't a single place left untouched! Do you understand?!" Much to Sasuke surprise he saw all the birds nod their heads and then went up to her to grab one of the explosive in their claws and beaks.

"Okay you got ten minutes to get into position when the ten minutes are over I want you to drop the bombs no matter where you are, now go!" The birds scatter flying in all directions.

"So what do we do now?" Sakura asked worried about getting caught.

"We wait." Umiko replied.

"Aren't you worried about getting into trouble?"

"Not at all, if I'm going to get into trouble it might as well be for something that I actually did instead of something I didn't do." Umiko said with a straight face and Sasuke wondered if she got into a lot of trouble for things she didn't do and voiced his thought out loud.

"It's not so much that I get blamed for a lot of things, it's more like I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time. Still I don't really mind since I met Naruto that way."

'Why would meeting the dobe be considered being in the wrong place at the wrong time?' Sasuke wondered if it had anything to do with the 'big bullies' that she had mention before and decided that if he wanted to find out more about their relationship he was going to have to find out how they first met.

'Why are you even wondering about it? You should be focusing on getting stronger so that you can kill your brother.' For once Sasuke agreed with the voice. Still Naruto had access to a large amount of power and Sasuke wanted to know where he got it. Right now he wanted to know just what Naruto and his fiancée was planning so he leaned against one of the carved spikes on the Sandaime head.

Ten minutes past and Umiko let out a large grin before cutting a wire that had been previously well hidden, at the same time the birds dropped the bombs and a loud bang shook the village. Sasuke watched with some amusement as multi-color clouds began to billow around the village before a thought struck him.

'We were just invaded and everybody is still in high alert, so wouldn't these bombs cause some sort of panic to the villagers?' at the same time Sasuke realized something else. 'If the villagers are on high alert then the ninja would be on high alert too meaning that…….' Sasuke thought was interrupted by a loud cry of 'Sasuke-kun' that wasn't coming from Sakura and by some very loud swearing coming from Umiko.

"Kage Mane no Jutsu."

'….We are in so much trouble.' Sasuke had a strong urge to face palm but his pride demanded otherwise.

Shikamaru had been having a good day; the key term in that sentence was 'had.' He and Choji were at his favorite rooftop just watching the sky and munching on snacks and had been that way for nearly the whole day when Ino had found them and then started yelling at them because it had taken her hours to find them. That was something he couldn't get, he and Choji always went to the same rooftop so why the hell was it taking her hours to find them? He sighed and contemplated on rolling over or not when Ino grabbed the back of his jacket and pulled him off the bench and loudly declared that they were all going to the top of the Hokage Monument because "I saw Sasuke-kun head up there with fore-head and there's no way am I leaving them alone together."

Shikamaru sighed and then decided that it wouldn't be worth the effort to argue with Ino and decided to go with her. He followed her only paying a small attention to what she was saying while keeping the rest of his attention to the sky. He noticed that there were more birds in the sky then normal and felt a small unease form in his stomach. It wasn't until they got to the top of the Hokage Monument that he realized that all the birds were carrying small but colorful bombs and his sense of unease grew even larger.

Team seven had just gotten into sight and Shikamaru notice right away the new girl with them. He watched as she leaned down and deftly cut a hidden wire and right after a large bang shook the village.

Shikamaru heard Ino yell out to Sasuke and noted that the new girl jumped with shock which could have meant any number of things. It could have meant that she was a terrible ninja and let her surprise show, or it could have meant that she wasn't a ninja which her clothes were suggesting. Still Shikamaru couldn't just let her get away, he still didn't know what those bombs did and he needed to find out now. So he focused his chakra and flashed through the hand signs his dad had taught him so long ago before calling out his technique. He noticed that both Ino and Choji had taken their positions next to him with Ino slightly behind him and Choji in front.

"Kage Mane no Jutsu." Shikamaru could hear the girl loud swearing and feel the strain as she tried to break out of his jutsu. Shikamaru was slightly surprised when he realized that most of her strength was coming from her legs and arms and that she wasn't even trying to use her chakra to get out. He watched as Naruto and Sakura were yelling at his two teammates only adding to the confusion Ino earlier yell had cause. He briefly caught the words 'friend,' 'nee-chan,' and 'prank' and decided to end his jutsu already figuring out what just happened. Before he got the chance Sasuke intervened by saying,

"Let the dobe fiancée go." Shikamaru dropped the jutsu out of pure shock and saw both of his teammates stand frozen in shock as well. Ino was the first to recover and showed it by yelling out loudly "WHAT!!!"

Shikamaru sighed and glanced at Naruto now freed fiancée and saw that she was giving them a very calculating look which made him feel like he was being examined and mumbled a single word that summed up this whole situation.

"Mendokuse."

Umiko didn't know what to think, all she wanted to do was give Konoha a little welcoming back present when she found herself unable to move. Not being able to move is a scary experience for most people but it's downright terrifying for her. Being unable to move, to run, to stretch was the worst possible thing for her, it was one of her greatest fears; so to hide her ever growing panic she started to cuss very loudly and struggled with everything she had. She tried moving her arms and found that it didn't work and panic started to take over her mind and she tried to kick her leg but they weren't responding either. She felt panic take her mind as thousands of thoughts ran through her mind. What if she couldn't move again? Would she be stuck this way? Who was doing this to her, and why? Somewhere in the back of her mind Umiko realized that the one with the pineapple shaped hair was the one binding her and felt a surge of anger rush through her body. She was about to demand that he let her go when Sasuke said.

"Let the dobe fiancée go." She watched as the pineapple guy dropped his jutsu and vaguely heard his blond hair teammate yell "WHAT!!!" but she didn't care all of her attention was on the pineapple haired guy and trying to find out how he did that and the best way to get revenge. Their eyes met briefly and she heard him mumble something but was unable to make out what he said. Naruto nudge her in the ribs and she turned to look at him, he smiled and said.

"These are my friends from Team Ten Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru." He pointed to the blond one, the fat one, and the pineapple guy in order with their names. She saw that Choji had given her a small wave but Ino was staring at her like she had some sort of skin disease.

"What?" Umiko growled out at the blond.

"Why the hell are you marrying Naruto?" Ino asked with disgust in her voice.

"Why shouldn't I?" Umiko growled out and glared darkly at Ino hoping she could take the hint, but she didn't.

"Because he's an idiot, a numbskull, a dead last, annoying, orange wearing, ramen loving, disgusting fool!" Ino answered even though Naruto had been standing right next to Umiko. Umiko saw that Naruto had visibly wilted and whatever patience she had left for the trio disappeared.

"Maybe it because Naruto is an amazing guy!" She yelled at the blond who yelled back.

"What's so great about him?" Ino asked with clear disbelief.

"Lots of things like the fact that he likes gardening. Or that he really like coming up here at sunset and sunrise to watch the sun rise and fall. That he's always thinking about other before himself. That he never goes back on his word, or like the fact that he hasn't thrown a single punched at any of the villagers no matter had bad they treat him. That even after all this time, no matter how much pain he's in he still smiles to make everyone else feel better." Umiko could tell that she was crying now but she didn't care at all.

"I have to go now before some other crazy ninja tries to catch me. Bye Naruto, or and pineapple try that move on me again and I'll personally make sure you beg to go to hell."

With that said Umiko turned on her heel and dashed away as fast as she could not even bothering to look behind her.

Naruto was shocked, yes what Ino had said about him hurt but he didn't think that it would have affected Umiko that much. Still Shikamaru using his Kage Mane no Jutsu on her probably made her temper all the shorter. He noticed that everybody looked surprised but Ino looked hurt and Shikamaru looked confused.

'Maybe Umiko hurt her when she yelled at her?' Naruto didn't really get it but decided that he should at least try to clear up the mess Umiko had left behind.

"Don't worry about Umiko you guy just upset her too much, she should be fine tomorrow."

"How'd we upset her?"Shikamaru asked.

"Umiko afraid of not being able to move. Ever since I met her Umiko was almost always moving. She was always running, jumping, leaping, and rolling she never stops not even when she sleeps. So not being able to move is one of her greatest fears so you using the Kage Mane no Jutsu probably terrified her." Naruto was glad he was explaining this to Shikamaru now because he knew that Shikamaru would understand and never use it on her unless he really had to.

"Was what she said about you true?" Ino asked in a slightly shaking voice, Naruto gave a somewhat sad smile before replying.

"Yeah."

"Then why didn't you ever tell us!" Ino cried out sounding more hurt.

"You never asked. Now I have to go find Umiko and see where she's staying in the village." Naruto turned and left leaving behind some very confused friends.
