Chapter3: Witness her first fight in Konoha.

Monday's first schedule for the future genins including Zen in class was basic ninjutsus taught by Sensei Iruka. And the first basic ninjutsu that they're going to learn that day was Kage Bunshin. Everybody was eager to learn that some of them were jumping and giggled.

"Now, collect your chakra as much as you can; do the hand insignia and say loudly "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" . I'll call one by one and you must do it correctly." Said Sensei Iruka and he was just going to continue talking until he saw a yellow haired boy with face marks that resembled whiskers on his cheeks jumping. Sensei Iruka sighed and said, "The first one would be…. NARUTO!" and with the call, the boy cheered loudly , "YATTA~! Now Sasuke, I'll show you how great I am. I'll defeat you!"

"Shut up, Naruto and go there!" yelled Sakura. Naruto frowned but then stuck his tongue out to Sasuke and ran near to Sensei Iruka. He started to make the hand insignias and said the keyword as loudly as he wanted. Then thick smoke engulfed him until the result of his jutsu was revealed. Sensei Iruka slapped his forehead while some other students laughed themselves out. Sasuke was smirking and Hinata hiccuped. It turned out that Naruto's Kage bunshin was failed and his clones looked like they just came out from some burnt chimneys. "What was that Naruto?" asked Kiba insultingly. Sensei Iruka sighed and called other children to test their Kage Bunshin until he came to Zen's name.

When Zen stepped to the opened, Sakura just remembered about her and raised her hand, "Ah, sensei. "

"Yes, Sakura?"Sensei Iruka asked. "Ano… Zen is ...I don't think she can do it, sensei."Sakura answered. "She's born special"

"If she's born special, she could do it then." said Sensei Iruka. "No, you don't understand, master. She's…."Sakura's words were cut by Ino, "She can't cope like us normal people, master. You need to explain more to her. Like Sakura said, Zen is born special."

Sensei Iruka gulped. Yes, she had heard about this problem from Sensei Kurenai and Todoka. He stood levelly with Zen's height and demonstrate again with words and actions. He did it repeatedly until Zen could master it. Suddenly, he felt unfair to the other children who failed, so he turned to them and asked them to repeat the ninjutsu again until they succeed. But Naruto, Zen and a boy named Rock Lee couldn't do it. Naruto kept having the same result no matter how much he tried, Zen was confused with the hand insignia while Rock Lee didn't have any result at all, no matter how correct were his hand insignias and how correct his keyword.

That afternoon, Naruto was sitting on a tree swing. He was watching people looking at him and bringing their children away from him. He could hear what many of them said from far away, Don't play with that monster, Don't befriend with him, they said and many more. It broke his heart, wondering what bad things had he done to deserve this kind of treatment. Then he decided that he'll practice Kage Bunshin and defeat the best of Sasuke.

From afar, the white eyed girl, Hyuuga Hinata was hiding behind a huge tree, watching Naruto practicing the Kage Bunshin which the result was the same, charred clones. She didn't know why but she had admired Naruto for so long and she watched him every time she sees him. Wonder what feeling she had for him. While thinking this she caught the sight of Zen standing near Naruto's area. She mumbled, "Byakugan" and saw that Zen was collecting chakra. What Hinata saw next was a clone. And Zen ran away from the clone. "What happened? Why did she run away from her own clone?" Hinata asked.

….

Naruto was glancing at his right and saw Zen doing her clone jutsu too. And what he's surprised of was... how come a girl with bad mentality made a perfect clone. Then he had a new determination, 'Have to defeat that retard girl! Have to.', he thought and collect another chakra but distracted by the sight of Zen running and screaming away. "What's up with her?"

….

Zen was so shocked and scared to see someone that resembles her suddenly appeared from nowhere. She ran and ran until she bumped into Sensei Kurenai. Then she turned her head to see her clone ran after her. Zen tremblingly hugged her teacher and cried. "What happen?" asked a masked grey haired man. Sensei Kurenai had no idea until she saw the cause that made Zen whimpered like a scared puppy. "Kakashi, check out that girl using your sharingan!"she said. The masked man named Kakashi nodded; then he opened up his mask that covers the other eye and activated 'Sharingan'. " Kurenai, she's a clone." He said at last. "Clone? Whose clone" Kurenai asked. "Obviously the girl you hugged." he answered. "It's her clone. So, do you want me to poof the clone?" Kakashi asked as he raised his right arm to 'kill' the clone.

Kurenai halted him and bent to Zen. "Zen you're afraid of her?"

Zen nodded slowly with a bit of tears. Kurenai chuckled and said softly to her, "Awe~, Zen. Don't be afraid. She's your clone."

"Clone?"

"Yes, Zen. Your own clone. Did you do the Kage Bunshin just now?"she asked and Zen nodded again. "You shouldn't be afraid of your clone, Zen. You should work with it. Watch me. KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!"

And there were Kurenai clones divided. Zen stepped aback and wide eyed. "You see, Zen. These are clones made in Kage Bunshin. Just like yours. Touch your clone there." Said Sensei Kurenai as she pulled Zen's arm closer to touch her own clone. Clone Zen expressions was as curious as the real Zen. Master Kurenai connect both hands of Zen's to feel each other whether they're real or not. And when their hands touched, both eyes widen in awe. Then Sensei Kurenai ordered Zen to make more clones. "Kurenai, shouldn't you do this at the field?"asked Kakashi.

Suddenly, the clone poof itself. Sensei Kurenai brought Zen to a training area. "Now, Zen make your clones again." Ordered Kurenai as she made her clones too just to demonstrate to Zen in case she had a short term memory lost. It was the contrary; Zen remembered how to do it perfectly because she's observed Sensei Kurenai's hand insignias. Sensei Kurenai was impressed with Zen's ability to make many clones even in her incapability to think normal. And Zen didn't even scared again with her clones but from her expressions, she was just clueless of what to do with them. Kurenai noticed this and had an idea. She taught those clones to jump very high and do a basic punch with with each other. She also taught Zen the concept of using clones that can collect memories from other clones that were disappeared in mass smokes. Kakashi who was tailing them was feeling impressed that his friend Kurenai could do this training with Zen.

Few hours after the Kage Bunshin training, Zen was walking in the middle of the crowd while Kakashi was tailing her from afar because it was what Kurenai asked him, to watch over her. It seems like forever to Kakashi because Zen hadn't stop walking until at last she stopped at a serene park that had only sitting benches, swings, tree logs for sitting and a small pool where ducks and birds were gathering.

Kakashi saw Zen going for the swing and played it slowly and silently. The silence was very sickeningly boring. Why must Kurenai asked him to do this? Then he saw Zen did something interesting and watched. Zen was taking out a tube of chocolate and poured some on her right palm. After that, she bounced those chocolates one by one into her mouth by hitting her right arm using her left one. 'Hmm…she got muscle problem? But she moved so fluidly. It must have been her habit then to eat her chocolates like that.'

As Kakashi intensely watched Zen eating without using his Sharingan eye, he saw someone sneaking out from a sitting tree log behind Zen. He prepared his kunai in case that sneaking person was an enemy but shockingly, that person was Naruto. Kakashi lowered down his kunai since he believed there would be no danger to his client.

Naruto sneaked out from the tree log and walked slowly behind Zen to grab her. When he was very near, suddenly his stomach was hit hard and he was thrown through the swing where Zen had occupied just now and hit the ground.

Kakashi watched in awe at the spectacular scene unfolded in front of him. As Naruto came near to his client, Zen, suddenly that girl elbowed Naruto's stomach very hard. Just when Naruto was holding his stomach, Zen gripped the swing's rope while doing a single very high back flip through it and with both her legs still in the air and her hands holding the swing rope, she kicked Naruto through. Naruto hit hard and far to the ground.

'Wow, look at that. ' he thought. He didn't expect the fragile looking and 'special' girl could do that. He didn't see Kurenai ever teaching her that. So how could Zen made that? Kakashi watched as Zen readied a foreign fighting stance while Naruto was standing up holding his bruised nose and face and also his stomach. Kakashi called Kurenai using his phone and a few seconds after that Kurenai came with a poof.

"Where is Zen?"

Kakashi just answered by pointing to the scene. Kurenai looked and gaped.

…..

Zen readied her Muay Thai stance in case the person in front dare to do anything to her. On the other hand, the person in front a.k.a Naruto felt angry and ran to attack Zen but failed because Zen could deflect him easily and counter-attacked him. This went on until Naruto's face became swollen and he gave up because of the pain. Zen surged forth to attack but was stopped by Kurenai. Kakashi went to Naruto's aid.

So chapter 3 had been replaced. Reason why I removed Moom from the story is because he's not trained in martial arts and I don't think he followed Zen to Japan. But while he's not following to Japan I think somehow he was given contacts to talk to Zen through her father. But he would make some cameos later on I think.

Anyway...I need some ideas for chapter 4. Whatever ideas you have, I'll consider using them. I may be use them partially..

Thank you for the patience.
