Well sorry for the long update but I've been busy. I was trying to finish my senior project and preparing for our art exhibition. I rewrote the last chapter so that now you'll have somewhat of an idea about what tricks Umiko performed with Lee, I deleted one of them because I realized that it needed three people to work so sorry about that. Anyway please put up with me and wait patiently for my next update. Also I'm thinking of writing another Naruto fanfic but this one won't have any OC for main characters. This one is entirely in the works so don't expect to see it anytime soon.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

'Voices in Sasuke head/ inner Sakura'

"Bijuu speaking"

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Umiko looked around at the small dirty hotel room that she had been staying at since she got back to Konoha and sighed.

'It's been three days since I returned and no one wants to hire 'the demon brat fiancée' I'm seriously running low on money. With the money that I saved up on the road and the cost of the hotel I could probably stay here for another week but if I don't find a job before that then I'm in a lot of trouble." Umiko growled and felt her anger resurface when she remember exactly why they had called Naruto that as a kid, 'Damn those stupid, narrow, minded idiots that call themselves citizens of Konoha! Why can't they see how great Naruto is? Why can't they realize how much their words hurt him? Why does the Hokage let this happen? The village has become to bold since I disappeared I think it's about time that I set up my next prank.' Umiko sighed again. As much as she wanted to prank the village again she was going to need the materials to do so and that would cost money, money that she couldn't waste right now.

Even as Umiko thought about all this she could still feel it, a warm tingling sensation in the back of her head, proof that Naruto had completed his part of the vow and a warning urging her to hurry up with her part of the vow. Umiko never told Naruto but there was a part of the vow that states that if one person was unable to complete their part of the vow within three years their partners completed theirs then they would die. She hadn't thought that Naruto would complete his part of the vow so quickly and that he would get a bridge named after him. When she first felt the warm tingly sensation she had been surprised and a little worried that it happened so soon but wasn't worried about it at all, she had three years to complete her goal and she was planning on coming back to Konoha a year before the dead line. The bridge changes everything.

'I understand why they would name the bridge after him but do they have to yell out his name as often as they do? Don't they realize what a danger they're bringing for Naruto?' Umiko thought to herself feeling worry creep over her.

'Of course not.' A high pitched voice whispered into her ear. 'Even Naruto doesn't know what danger he's in every time he yells his name out like that. Neither did the Sandaime when he let him keep that name. He would know what danger he faces if you told him but you're too much of a coward to tell him aren't you?' the voiced hissed at her full of accusation.

"Shizukane." Umiko whispered holding herself in a tight hug betraying her calm voice.

'Why should I? If this continues they will find and they will take him!' It yelled back at her

"Shizukane!" Umiko repeated louder her voice trembling.

'NO! I won't be ignored anymore! Do you wish to lose the only family you have left! Do you want to see him die because of you just like your Okaa-san did?' It yelled at her full with anger.

"SHUT UP!" she roared out her arms over her head as if to protect herself from a blow. Umiko didn't know how long she sat there with her arms raised above her head but she just couldn't bring herself to open her eyes and lower her arms.

'Blood calls to blood and I will not let my kin be destroyed by your cowardice. You will tell him.' It whispered in her ears sounding much softer than it was before. Umiko felt its presence fade from her mind and let out a sigh of relief. She reached down and lifted the hem of her pajama to expose her ankle and sighed when she saw large red scales that had started growing there.

'If only the villagers knew that the real monster was me.' Umiko couldn't help the tears that fell from her eyes. She didn't know how long she just sat there crying but when her tears stopped she stood and prepared herself for another day of job hunting. She pulled her brush through her thick red hair and changed into a simple light blue dress and a pair of light blue ballet slippers that were embroiders with red flowers. She pulled out a small backpack which she placed her wallet, identification papers, IDs, and anything else she might need during an interview. Umiko left the hotel determined to find a job not knowing that somewhere in the other side of town a certain group of ninjas were getting together.

Sasuke sighed and wonder what he was doing in Choji favorite BBQ restaurant watching Choji eat nauseating amounts of meat and rice while surrounded by the rest of the rookie nine and Team Guy minus Naruto.

'Right Sakura along with Ino showed up at my door step demanding that I go with them to meet up with the rest of the ninja in our age group and before I could close the door on them they pulled me out and dragged me her.'

'Being dragged around by a pair of fan girls how pathetic Uchiha.'

'Shut up.' Sasuke told the voice, getting annoyed by its many insults toward him. Briefly he felt his anger flare up when he realized that he was dragged around by a pair of fan girls who he had always thought to be weak. That was squashed down fast as he remembered that he no longer thought that way towards Sakura since he had woken up in the Forest of Death and seeing Sakura ready to sacrifice everything to keep him and Naruto safe.

'Still what am I doing here?' Before Sasuke could think of an answer Sakura stood up and cleared her throat.

"I hope everyone knows what we're all doing here." She called out looking over the group.

"Hell no! How was I suppose to know what's going on when Lee suddenly shows up out of know where and says that I gotta come here before dragging me off before I could pick up Akamaru!" Kiba yelled looking pissed off.

"Lee you baka you we're supposed to tell him." Ino yelled at Lee.

"Gomen Ino-san I was just so excited I guess that it just slipped my mind." Lee apologized and Ino huffed but didn't do anything else.

"Well we're all here to figure out Naruto and his fiancée." Sakura said to fill in the people that didn't know what was going on. As soon as she said it a bunch if whispers rose into the air and Sasuke felt his annoyance grow. He heard Shikamaru mumble "Mendokuse." And knew that he wasn't the only one to feel that way.

"This is stupid I'm leaving." Sasuke said as he stood up to leave.

"Ah, matte Sasuke-kun! Don't you want to know more about Umiko?" Sakura asked him trying to get him to stay.

"No, whoever marries the dobe is of no concern of mine. He can do whatever he likes, I don't care." Sasuke replied which was a lie but he wanted to find out everything by himself.

"Even if I told you she has fully developed chakra coils?" Neji spoke up stopping him dead in his tracks. Sasuke turned to look at him eyes questioningly.

"She has fully developed chakra coils?" Neji nodded causing another round of whispers to start again.

"Quite!" Ino yelled catching everybody attention. "I know that we all have a lot of questions about Umiko…"

"Like where's she from."

"Or how they met."

"How she knew how to make an unbreakable vow."

"Why she has fully developed chakra coils."

"How she was able to out run three genin even though she's a civilian."

Shikamaru sighed before slamming his fist into the table causing everyone to go silent. "If we're ever going to figure out more about Naruto and Umiko relationship we're going to need a plan and to make a plan we need to know what we know about them already. Every one of us have meet her before, now what did you notice?"

"She likes spicy foods and ramen; she also appears to be an old customer to Ichiraku." Sakura spoke up.

"Even though she's a civilian she was able to outrun me, Sakura, and Naruto and then scale the Hokage Monument with her bare hands." Sasuke added.

"She knows a lot more about Naruto then we do and gets upset whenever someone bad mouth Naruto." Ino added.

"She knew how to play with a diabolo and was planning on putting on a performance." Kiba said.

"I wouldn't be too surprised; she said she was a trapeze artist and that she knew how to use a diabolo. She also hates it when people disrespect her job Neji should know since she nicknamed him ASP." Tenten added with a grin.

"What does ASP stand for?" Choji asked.

"Arrogant Stuck up Prick." Tenten replied her grin growing larger.

"She has fully developed chakra coils and that her goal is to open up a circus here in Konoha." Neji said ignoring the snickering around him.

"So she's a trapeze artist who wants to make a circus here in Konoha, does anyone know why she left and why she returned?" Shikamaru asked.

"She left to go find a relative of hers and she came back to finish her promise with Naruto that she made via unbreakable vow." Sasuke told Shikamaru and Shikamaru frowned.

"What's an unbreakable vow?" He asked.

"I'm not entirely too sure but I do know that if either one of them breaks their promise then they would both die." He watched as everyone eyes except Sakura grow big and if he had been anywhere else he would have laughed at their dumbstruck expressions. Suddenly Shikamaru sat up straighter and asked.

"Does this promise have a time limit?" Sasuke frowned.

"No I don't think it does. Why?" Sakura asked.

"Because a long time ago I read that promises like the one you're describing was made with chakra between two people and in most cases if they didn't complete the promise in a set amount of time they would die."

"But Naruto already completed his part of the promise would he die to?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know there are too many factors here for me to figure it out. We don't know by what method they made this unbreakable vow nor do we know what exactly how this vow works." Shikamaru sat back down and went into his thinking pose, after a few minutes he opened his eyes and looked at everyone.

"Ino, Sakura, Hinata, Choji, and Shino you guys will be team A and go and track down Umiko and find a secluded place to question her. Neji, Sasuke, Kiba, Tenten, Lee, and me will be team B and find Naruto and question him as well."

"Why do we have to go after Umiko?" Shino asked.

"Even if Umiko is faster than the normal genin her strength is pretty low compared to the average ninja so it's wouldn't take much to keep her still. Meanwhile Naruto is not only fast but he's strong too. With his almost endless supply of energy it's going to take Lee speed, Tenten aim, and Neji and Sasuke strength to keep him down." Shikamaru explained.

"Then why are you chasing Naruto and not Umiko?" Shin asked.

"Because she hates me and if terrified of my Kage Mane no Jutsu." Shikamaru explained.

"Now let's go!" Everybody nodded and left the restaurant

With team A they had just arrived in the village square and were looking out for a blob a red in the crowds of people below them.

"Why are we here?" Choji asked.

"Because Shino bug tells him that she's here but he's not entirely sure where." Sakura told him, he nodded and looked back at the crowd while opening another bag of chips. The sat there scanning the crowds for a few minutes before they saw her.

"Look there she is she just turned the corner there." Ino yelled while leaping toward the south east direction. Everyone else hurried to follow her and in no time they had caught up to her. When they landed behind her they saw her jump before whirling around to face them.

"Oh it's you guys, what do you want?" She asked with a tired smile. Sakura felt a little guilty when she saw her smiling but quickly shook it off.

"We want to talk to you about Naruto."

"Naruto?" she asked with a yawn.

"Yeah, we realized that there wasn't really much we knew about him and we thought we should ask you what he's like." Ino said.

"Shouldn't you just ask him yourself?" Umiko replied with a long yawn.

"We would but we're kind of embarrassed." Sakura said while blushing and looking down.

"Well then that's your *yawn* problem. " Umiko said before turning to look at Hinata."You're Hinata right?"

"Um… hai." Hinata mumbled not looking at Umiko.

"Sorry, I'm not good with names, it took me three months to remember Naruto name.*yawn* you like Naruto don't you?" Umiko asked as she rubbed her eyes. Hinata turned a bright red but didn't answer; Umiko gave her a sad smile before saying, "I'm sorry." Before falling asleep and being caught by Choji. It was then that they noticed the small black bugs that were going off her body and back towards Shino. They all looked at him and he shrugged.

"It was the easiest way to get her to come with us."

Naruto had been having a great Saturday. He was currently curled up on his bed having a nice dream about him and Umiko (not that kind of dream you perverts!) when he heard a loud crash come from his windows. The noise snapped him awake and had him springing of his bed with his hidden kunai in his hand before he could register who had broken into his window. A blur of black ran across his vision and he felt a sharp jab in his neck, as he went down he heard a certain Teme say.

"Nice hat dobe." Before falling unconscious.
