Here is Chapter 15! It's gonna be awesometastilistic!

Inner: And yet, people still think you're not stupid.

Me: *Summons the Shoop da Woop Mk. 1* This is one of my most favorite toys, and it's gonna put the thing that should be on your shoulders there: Nothing. *begins firing at Inner*

Inner: FUCK. YOU. YOU'RE A PIECE OF MOTHER-FUCKING, ASSTASTIC SHIT!

Me: I'm Barack Obama, and I do not approve this message.

Rule 9: Do something nice, and Kami-chan will reward you with a new friend.

I now had to go back to Earth for a bit. I was about to go through the hole when Kami stopped me.

"You still have to clean me." She said huskily. I grinned.

"I'll do much more than clean you. I'll scrub you until you're shining." I said. Then I picked her up and carried her bridal style as I ran to her house.

30 minutes later

She and I were both laying on her bed, panting.

"That enough?" I asked her. She could only nod. I got back up and got my clothes on.

"I'm going down to Earth. Be back soon." I told her. Then I walked all the way to the circle and jumped in. I plummeted down to Earth and landed in the middle of a ruined village of sorts. I looked around for a bit and recognized it as Anko's old village.

"Damn, I'm lucky." I said. Then I tried to find Anko's old house.

"If I remember correctly, it was in across from a ruined hut, and what appeared to be a restaurant." I said. So I walked around the village for a bit. After 10 minutes, I managed to find the restaurant that I had seen.

"So if that's the restaurant, then where's..." I traced my finger across from the restaurant and found Anko's old house, which had been smashed to pieces during the attack. I walked over to the rubble.

"Now, where would that old ragdoll be?" I asked, stroking my chin. I started walking around on the rubble, looking around for Anko's childhood toy. I stepped on a piece of broken roof, and I felt something else underneath. So I got off and lifted up the piece of the roof. I gasped. There it was: Anko's ragdoll. I quickly picked it up and ran outside the village into a forest.

'Kami-chan, can you send me back up to heaven?' I mentally asked.

'Sure!' Kami said with a giggle. Light once more shone down from heaven and I was carried through the clouds by an angel. I landed straight on my feet in front of Kami's house. I turned around and saw Kiba talking to Kami, saying things like, "You're so smoking that I need to call the fire brigade." I scowled and made the horse and tiger hand signs.

"Gōkakyū no jutsu!" I shouted. A huge fireball escaped from my lips and flew towards Kiba. He turned his head and his eyes widened. Everything was happening in slow motion. He jumped back as the fireball hit where he was standing.

"What the hell was that for?" Kiba asked me. I smirked.

"I told you that if you made comments like the first one about Kami-chan again, your ass would be next in the oven. This is the oven, and I'm the heat." I told him. I made the hand signs and blew out three more great fireballs. Kiba started shaking. The fireballs landed in front of him, but didn't hurt him.

"I'm letting you off easy." I said. He phewed.

"But DON'T let me catch you doing that again." I said, pointing a finger at him. He stiffed up and nodded. I turned to Kami.

"How much time would you say they have left to explore?" I asked her.

"They're actually out of time now. You arrived at the right moment." She told me.

"Could you go get them all?" She then asked. I saluted. I then walked forward a little and used chakra to amplify my voice.

"All genin from Konoha need to come here or else I will go Grand Fireball on them." I said. The genin immediately came running back in fear of what I could do.

"We have to go back to earth now." I told them.

"But whyyyy?" Naruto asked in a whiny voice.

"Because I have a date with Anko. If any of you make me late, I'll have to get the Shinigami." I answered, pointing my finger at all of them. They all stiffened up and I waved goodbye to Kami. Then one by one, we all jumped into the circle and slowly floated back down to Earth in the middle of Konoha.

"See you all later." I said. I waited until all the genin left, then I jumped on top of a building and began leaping from roof to roof.

"Man, he's pretty cool." Was the last thing I heard besides Lee shouting,

"His flames of youth burn bright like the youthful sun! YOSH!" I sweatdropped as I was still leaping. I landed on the ground in front of one of those shops that wraps gifts. I walked inside as a little bell jingled at the top of the door.

"Aaron-san?" A female voice called out.

"Ino?" I asked. Ino was standing there at the counter.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm just getting a gift wrapped for a friend." I told her. She nodded.

"Is it Anko?" Ino asked with a knowing glance. I chuckled.

"It seems you're up to speed on everything I'm doing." I said.

"Well, I know most things that go on in the village." She told me.

"That much I figured." I walked over to the counter.

"So what would you like wrapped?" Ino asked. I unsealed the ragdoll out of a scroll.

"This." I said, placing the doll on the counter.

"Aren't you a bit old to be playing with dolls? And a bit too un-girly?" She asked me. I laughed.

"If I had played with dolls at all, my adoptive mother would've slapped some sense into me." I said.

"No, this used to belong to Anko. She had it as a kid. I took it upon myself to find it so I could give it to her." I told Ino.

"Oh. Do you need it in a box?" Ino asked.

"If you could." She got out a tall thin rectangular box and set it on the counter. Then she pulled the top off and set the ragdoll inside. Finally, she closed the box and wrapped it up. Ino handed it back to me.

"There you go, Aaron-san." I placed twenty Ryu on the counter.

"Thank you Ino, and next time, just call me Aaron. I have no real need for honorifics unless it's in a relationship." I told her with a smile. Then I picked up my gift, exited the store, and started walking towards the dango shop. About half the way there, I was walking by a man when he looked at the box inquisitively.

"Is that a gift for someone?" He asked me. I nodded.

"It's for my girlfriend." I told him.

"And who might she be?"

"Anko Mitarashi." He started scowling.

"Why are you friends with the Snake Whore?" He asked me. I grabbed his shirt with a furious expression and slammed him into a stone wall.

"Do not call her that." I said while glaring.

"She deserves it, since she was working with the traitor Orochimaru." He retorted. I drew a kunai.

"She doesn't deserve that. She has been persecuted all her life because of him. I swear that if I ever catch you calling her the "Snake Bitch", or the "Snake Whore", the last thing you see before eternal torment will be the devil welcoming you to Hell." I said with a tremendous amount of KI bursting from my body. The man slightly trembled, but stood firm.

"She deserves those names for being related to that traitor." He pressed. I growled and bit my thumb. Then I made several hand signs and slammed my palm into the ground. Three clouds of smoke appeared, and out of them came Kumo, Aki, and Kage.

"This is Kumo, Aki, and Kage. They are my summons. Seeing as how you're a civilian, you can't touch me." I told him.

"Now, if I catch you calling the woman I love a bitch or a whore again, they will slowly chew on your limbs while you watch your most prized possessions burn to a fine crisp and turn to ash. Then I will send you to Hell." I told him. He started pissing his pants from the KI being released from me and the wolves.

"I'm going to let you live, but if you cross my path and call her those names again, I will fucking maim you." I said, letting go of the man's shirt. I sent away my wolves and walked away from the asshole. Then I got to the dango shop, and ordered 30 sticks of dango. I had them all bagged, and walked to the Forest of Death. As I entered, Anko's voice said,

"You're finally here. I was getting impatient since I want to torture you." I smirked and said,

"Well then, no dango or gifts for you." Anko appeared right in front of me and asked,

"Dango? Gifts?" I held out the bag of dango and the box with the ragdoll in it.

"Let's go find somewhere nice to sit." I told her. We both started walking to a clearing in the forest. None of the animals touched us. They could sense we had no harmful intentions and were the Alpha male and female. I think. Then we both sat down on soft grass and Anko reached for the dango bag.

"Ah, ah, ah. Your gift first." I told her. I handed her the box and she tore through the wrapping. When she pulled off the top, she gasped. Anko grabbed the ragdoll and held her out.

"Little...Sylvia..." Anko said. Tears grew in her eyes, and she tackle-hug-glomped me, laughing like crazy.

"I knew you'd like it." I told her. We both started wrestling around, laughing like a couple of maniacs in love. Which is what we were.

"How'd you find her?" Anko asked me.

"I know people." I simply said. She just hugged me in a vice grip. Suddenly, some bushes near us rustled. We both got up and drew kunai. We slowly advanced towards them, and I pulled them aside. There sat a girl, who looked to be 19 years old, eating some bread. She turned her head slowly, and her eyes widened. Then she dropped the bread and held her arms up protectively.

"Please don't hurt me!" She said. Anko and I both lowered our arms.

"We're not going to hurt you." I said. She lowered her arms a little bit.

"You're-you're not?" She asked us. I smiled.

"We aren't." I said in a soft voice. Then she lowered her arms a little bit more.

"What are you doing here? This forest is very dangerous." Anko asked.

"Um...well, I-I was looking for someone named Hiroshi Uchiha." The girl answered. Anko and I both blinked. She was looking for me?

"I'm Hiroshi Uchiha. But most people call me Aaron." I told her.

"Y-you are?" She asked. I activated my Sharingan.

"This answer your question?" I asked back. She nodded, transfixed on my Sharingan. I turned my eyes off. I offered a hand out, and she cringed.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"P-please...Don't t-touch me..." She said in a scared voice. I looked at her expression. She was probably remembering something bad that happened. I pulled my hand back.

"Sorry." I said, sheepishly rubbing the back of my head. The girl stood up, and bowed.

"What's your name?" Anko asked.

"Um..." The girl sounded hesitant.

"If you don't want to tell us right now, that's fine." I told her in a caring voice. She managed a small, timid smile, blushing at the same time.

"Look at that beautiful smile! I bet a lot of guys faint from how bright it is!" I said jokingly. The girl's blush grew darker, and we all started laughing. After a minute, we calmed down.

"So why were you looking for me?" I asked the girl.

"Well...I...I wanted to ask if...if I c-could be your a-apprentice." She said.

"My apprentice?" I asked out loud.

"I never really thought of having an apprentice." I said. Then I started sheepishly rubbing the back of my head again.

"I always thought I'd never get far in life." I said with a laugh after. The girl started giggling a little.

"If that's what you want, then sure." I told her. She bowed.

"Thank you, Aaron-sama." She said. I shook my head.

"No need for honorifics. I find that they always end up taking up more of your sentence than the words themselves." I told her. She bowed again.

"You are now officially my apprentice!" I announced, making some of the animals turn their heads towards me. The girl blushed at the recognition, even though it was from a bunch of animals.

"You must be hungry." Anko said. The girl nodded.

"Well, how about we get you some dango?" I asked. The girl gave a faint inquisitive look.

"What's dango?" She asked. Anko's jaw dropped.

"We need to get this girl a stick of dango, fast!" She said. We started walking. When we got back in the city, we ran into Naruto.

"Hey Aaron! Hey crazy snake lady! Who's your friend?" Naruto yelled even though we were right in front of him. The girl hid behind my back. I bonked him on the head.

"What was that for?" Naruto asked, rubbing his sore cranium.

"You're scaring her!" I told him.

"She's a little bit shy, and doesn't want to say her name yet." I explained.

"Ohhh." Naruto held a hand out to her, which made her cringe again.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention she doesn't like people touching her." Naruto pulled his hand away. He smiled.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, ramen lover, and future Hokage!" He shouted. The girl cringed even more. I whacked him on the head again.

"Ow! What makes you think you have the right to do that?" Naruto asked. I put a finger on my chin.

"Hmm, let's see...I have Jounin rank skill, I saved your brother from a whole base full of Oto-nin, beat our sensei on my own, and killed Orochimaru. What do you think?" I asked him. His jaw hit the ground.

"You beat Ero-sennin's teammate? I will do better than you! Dattebay—" A chakra enhanced fist slammed down on his head. The girl cringed again. I turned to Anko.

"Did you do that?" I asked her. She shook her head no. Then Sakura came over and stood over Naruto.

"You're too loud, baka!" She shouted.

"Ah, that would explain it." I said. Sakura saw the girl behind me and smiled.

"Hi! My name's Sakura!" She said cheerfully (as if that could happen when she's not around Sasuke.). The girl stayed silent.

"What's wrong?" Sakura asked.

"She's a little shy. She also doesn't like it when people touch her." I explained for the girl. Sakura nodded.

"Well, I hope we can get to know each other better in the future." She said. Then she started dragging Naruto's unconscious body behind her. We again continued walking towards the dango shack. When we sat down, we ordered a stick of dango for the girl. Anko and I watched intensely as she held it up. Then she put one of the dumplings in her mouth and chewed slowly. Her face brightened up a little, and she said,

"Th-this is good..." Anko pumped her fist in the air and said,

"I knew you'd like it!" The girl blushed again. I took a bit to look her over. She had black hair that reached below her breasts, her right eye was colorless, as though there had been no color there ever, and her left eye was a deep purple. She was wearing a black cloak of sorts that covered her mouth, which was tight around the top of it, but got loose at her hip and all the way down. She had bandages below her cloak at her stomach. Then she had a pair of very short tan pants, her right leg was bandaged up to her knee, and she had a weapons pouch also on her right leg. Finally, she had knee high dark blue shinobi sandals, and had a pure white Amegakure hitai-ate dangling from her neck. You could see that she apparently was pretty curved.

"You're from Amegakure?" I asked. She nodded.

"I know two people who are from there." I told her. She cracked an extremely faint smile. After she finished her dango, we got up and I told her,

"We have to go see the Hokage, and tell her about you, and you're most likely going to have to tell us who you are, and stuff about yourself. Is that Ok?" She nodded timidly and we started walking. When we arrived at the Hokage's office, Tsunade greeted me with a hello, and I said hello back.

"Who's that with you?" She asked.

"We don't know. We found her in the Forest of Death, and she said she wishes to be my apprentice." I told her. She made a serious face.

"Well, I can't have anyone running around the village without knowing who they are. Can she tell us who she is?" Tsunade asked. I looked at the girl. She nodded, and stepped in front of me.

"My n-name is Himawari Arine, th-though I prefer t-to be called Hima-chan, Rine-rin, or Myon. I did come here f-for the reasons I said. I w-wanted to be Aaron's apprentice, a-and he said I could. I am from Amegakure," She tried to continue, but Tsunade stopped her.

"You are from Amegakure? Have you heard of Pein?" She asked. Arine nodded.

"Yes. I like that he is trying to find world peace—" Tsunade scowled.

"ANBU!" She shouted. The room filled with smoke, clearing to reveal 20 ANBU.

"Get behind me!" I ordered. Arine hid behind my back and I held my hand up. A ball of energy the size of a yoga ball (I'm not exaggerating) appeared above my palm.

"None of you will take one step closer." I said.

"I don't care if she is from Amegakure. I don't care if she likes Pein's ideals. I don't give a FLYING FUCK if she even worships him! NOBODY IS GOING TO HURT MY FRIEND UNLESS THEY WANT FIND THEMSELVES IN A PLACE WORSE THAN HELL!" I yelled. Tsunade held a hand up, signaling the ANBU to not make a move. Arine had a dark blush grow on her face.

"I suggest you don't do anything. I have enough power to level the village if need be. I don't think Anko told you this, but one of your former teammates is dead, Tsunade." I said. She gasped.

"Jiraiya?" She asked.

"Not him. It's Orochimaru." I told her.

"How?" Tsunade pressed.

"Me. He tried to change one of my friends, and that was one of his biggest mistakes." I said coldly. She looked shocked.

"You actually..."

"A wise proverb is "A warrior neither strikes at the mind nor soul. He attacks the heart." I give no mercy to those who use that against me." I told Tsunade, sending enough KI into the room to make Arine nearly faint, to make some of the ANBU pee their pants, and to make Anko and Tsunade shiver. I stopped releasing KI and spoke again.

"I don't think she was finished. I sensed a but coming before you cut her off. Let her speak." I ordered. Tsunade ordered the ANBU to stand down, and Arine spoke again.

"A-as I was saying, I like that he is trying to find world peace, but I don't support him, c-considering he's a criminal." She said. The ANBU disappeared in clouds of smoke and Tsunade relaxed.

"Orochimaru also gave me a curse seal." I said. Tsunade's eyes widened.

"He did?" I showed her the side of my neck.

"I do not need to have it sealed. I will only use my seal if I'm running out of Chakra, or need to fly somewhere." I told her,

"Fly?" She asked. I activated my curse seal to show her my wings. She nodded and I turned the seal off.

"Now then, Arine, why did you want to be my apprentice?" I asked, turning to her.

"W-Well, I heard how y-you were always caring and str-strong, and p-protective of friends, and I wanted to be strong like y-you, so I-I could protect my friends." She told me with a blush. I smiled.

"Well, since you're my apprentice, I am going to take you on a training trip." I told her. She managed a smile that was a little bit bigger than last time. I turned to Anko.

"But first, why don't we take some time to get to know each other?" I asked her. She smiled.

"Okay!" Anko said. I turned to Arine.

"Does that sound OK?" I asked. She nodded with a blush.

"Then let's all go to the hot springs!" I shouted, pumping my fist into the air.

I hopes joo liked it! I am FINALLY (said with exasperation) back from my trip. My family had to take a car ride up to Pennsylvania, (we live in NC) and I didn't get any sleep the whole ride there. What's more, we had to take a bunch of family photos, and my baby cousin Aidan kept crying without my aunt, so that kinda sucked. But he's a pretty nice baby. Although for some reason, he likes to touch my face...Weird...Anyways, I am starting to type Chapter 16, and I hope I can get it out soon!

Until next time,

Ja Ne! *disappears in an explosion of rubber ducks*
