I'm baaaaaaack. Did you miss me? I know I missed you. Sorry for the wait. Enjoy, read, review and all that jazz.
'Sakura's inner self talking or kyuubi talking.'
'This is thinking.'
"This is talking.'
As the stopped at a lake, they could faintly hear the calling of Hitori to his men to retreat for the night and they sighed.
"Where…is… your… c…clone?" Sakura said between breaths.
"It's on the other side of the river." Naruto said and jumped over the lake.
His teammates soon followed after him but stopped as they saw naruto staring at the hostage, shaking.
"What's wrong?" but girls inquired but they were soon silenced as the viewed the blonde girl with whisker masks lying on the ground.
"I-it's you." Naruto said.
….recap…..
"Wh-where am i?" the girl asked as she stirred.
She slowly knelt down and shook her head. She gasped as she looked at the blonde male in front of her.
It seemed like hours passed before someone blinked.
"Who are you?" the girl asked, her eyes still glued to the other blonde.
"I…i…I'm Uzumaki naruto, believe it!" naruto said and grinned, holding his hand to her having been the first to regain his composure.
"m-my name's Hinata."
"I'm Sakura."
The girl nodded and shook Naruto's hand, sporting her own foxy grin.
(A/N shut up ya perverts, get your heads out of the gutter.)
"I'm Naruko." She said.
"Um, w-what's your last name? N-Naruko-san?"Hinata asked.
A dark shade came over her right cerulean eyes but in an instant, it was gone. Like it was never there in the first place. But naruto saw it but pretended he didn't.
'This girl, she looks exactly like Naruto's sexy no jutsu. They could even be twins.' Sakura thought.
"So, where are you from, Naruko? Naruto asked.
'Wow, it's like I'm talking to myself in the sexy no jutsu. How weird is that? What do you think kyuubi?' naruto thought.
'Don't ask me kit, how would I know?' the fox answered and grinned innocently, a little too innocent.
"Um, I'm from the hidden mist. Well I was but I was banished with a note to the hokage of the hidden leaf because of … something… where are you guys from?" she asked.
"We're hidden leaf Nin. But that aside, those men, what did they want with you." Naruto asked and hoisted her to her feet.
"revenge." Was the only thing she said and her face fell.
Hinata and Sakura gasped and looked at there blonde companion who practically had a depression cloud over his head.
'revenge…Sasuke…why are people all ways bent on revenge? First Sasuke,… then Nagato…why.' Naruto thought.
"naruto, are y-you o-okay?" Hinata asked as she placed a pale hand on his shoulder, gazing at the lost expression on his face.
"hm? I'm fine Hinata-chan." Naruto said and gestured to Naruko to continue.
'are you okay kit?' kyuubi asked.
'I'm fine.'
"so as I was saying, the leader hitori's brother tried to kill me, when some friends of mine came to help me. Long story short, they killed him and now he wants to kill me for it." She said slowly and sighed.
"oh." He said and the air lapsed into silence so uncomfortable kyuubi cried. (Just kidding)
"So, I guess you have to come with us then." Naruto said. Effectively easing the tension.
'Phew' kyuubi thought.
"Naruto, can I have a word with you." Sakura asked and walked away.
Naruto nodded and followed her while Hinata started tending to Naruko's wounds.
As soon as they were out of the others' talking range, Sakura kissed him and he died on the spot. (Kidding again, what is wrong with me today?)
As soon as they were out of the others' talking range, Sakura turned to naruto.
"You can't just tell some one we just met that she could come with us. We are on a mission remember?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah I know that but I can't leave her here either so she's coming with us." Naruto said and walked over to the others.
"Hey Naruko? What ninja rank are you? That is if you are a ninja." Naruto asked.
"Oh, I'm a jonin." She said and smiled at the astonished looks on their faces.
'Oh' they all thought.
I'm done, I'm sorry if it's a little short but I tried. Review.
