The next day our training began for the Chunnin Exams. We all agreed to sign up and we had to train separately for some time. Kakashi said he would teach me something called the Chidori. Naruko was assigned to that glasses bastard. (A/N:Lets let Naruko take it from here! Sasuke- fine by me. Naruko-WOOHOO!)
Naruko's POV
"No way am I training with Ebisu-Sensei!" I cried. Kakashi just patted my head.
"Naruko, he's a good teacher, you'll be fine."
"But he HATES ME!" I groaned.
"Just go." Kakashi pointed to Ebisu's house.
"Fine. But I'm not enjoying it." I walked over and Kakashi left to train Sasuke. I knocked on the door. "HELLO!? IT'S ME!" I yelled knocking harder. Ebisu yanked the door open and my next knock connected with his chest, sending him flying into the house. He stood up, face red with anger.
" IS THAT ANY WAY FOR A YOUNG LADY TO ENTER A HOUSE!?" he exploded.
"No! But it sure was fucking funny!" I laughed. He hit me in the head. "OW!" I screamed.
"Now, after training we'll work on your behavior." He said.
"I ain't got no problems with my behavior." I growled.
"And then your speech." He snorted. I glared at him.
"I always talk like this Ya' know! That's not gonna change!" I shouted before hopping off the three story building. Ebisu came down the stairs.
"Now now Naruko, I'm in charge for the next couple weeks." he smirked pushing up his glasses. I rolled my eyes and walked pass him.
"Let's get this over with." I groaned.
We'd been training for two days and accomplished NOTHING. All I learned is that Ebisu was a closet pervert. He pushed me way to far today. I was about to unleash if he called me 'Young Lady' one more time. When a man riding a giant toad flew out of the woman's bath. Other items were being flung at him.
"Research! It was for research!" he yelled. The owner of the bath was going out to see what was happening. He turned towards me and hit Ebisu who went flying into the river. It didn't take an ANBU agent to see he was unconscious.
"Hey! Pervert!" I yelled at the man. He had white hair and wore a red shirt and pants. He glared at me.
"Who you calling a pervert Girly!" He shot.
"You who else! Anyway, you better get ready cuz that was my teacher you just knock out! You have to train me now!" The shouted. The old man looked shocked.
"Look kid, I have no reason to train you, nor do I want to." He said before making the frog disappear. Must've been a summon... he walked away so I followed him. He had to make up for the probably days of teaching I'm going to miss out on.
For the rest of the day, I decided to work on my stealth. Where ever he went, I followed, when he thought he lost me I appeared again. Eventually, well, after I ruined his chances with two girls, he turned to me.
"KID HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA FOLLOW ME AROUND!?" he screamed.
"Till' you train me. I can't afford to lose the Chunnin Exams ya know!." I said crossing my arms stubbornly. He stared at me when I did that. For a while actually, it was weird. I called his attention by screaming out,
"Sexy no Jutsu!" In a puff of smoke I became an older version of myself, perfectly curved. "Please please please train me!" I begged, the old pervert's nose leaked blood, then I changed back. He stared at me in frustration.
"Fine! But I'm going outside of town for a few weeks." He said.
"That's all I need. I'll tag along." I said jumping on his back. He pulled me off.
"Quit it, geez your clingy. And stubborn." he said then he trailed off, "just like..." then he snapped back.
"Just like who?" I asked, he panicked then blurted out.
"What about your parents? You should explain where your going." I stared at the ground. "Well?" he said impatiently.
"I don't have parents, never have." I said sadly. But then I perked myself up. "But who wants parents anyway? All they do is yell and tell you what to do!" I fake laughed. This guy just stared at me before scratching the back of his head.
"Whatever. Let's go." He said holding out a hand. I smiled and grabbed it and we started to leave.
After I got my bag together I told him we had to tell Kakashi where I was going. Kakashi was no where to be found, so I told Asuma what to tell Kakashi. He waved us off as we left the village.
"Hey! Whats your name Ero-kun?" I asked, the mans face reddened at the nick name.
"Who am I? Well." He dramatically hopped and posed. I rolled my eyes and kept walking when he announced his name. "I AM THE GREAT SANNIN... THE ONE! THE ONLY! JIRAIYA!" he yelled. I continued walking across the bridge. Unfazed.
"Well who might you be." he growled.
"Naruko Uzumaki! Future Hokage!" I recited loudly.
"Naruko huh?" he smiled slightly. I rolled my eyes.
"So where are we going first!?" I yelled excitedly.
"To a city near here, it's a big place, so stay close or you'll get lost." he warned.
"Sure whatever." I shrugged as we entered the bustling town.
Half way into the city I got so excited about all the shops around me, I reached into my pocket and pulled out my froggy wallet. I reached in and pulled out a large wad of cash i'd been saving. I had to hold it with both my hands so I wouldn't drop any. Ero-kun looked at the money and his eyes lit up.
"That's quite the fortune you got there girly!" he smiled. I nodded.
"Yep! I've been saving from all my missions! I can't wait to-"
"Hold on, a small girl like you can't be showing off a stack of money like that." he said snatching it from me.
"Hey!" I yelled reaching for my hard earned money. Ero-kun pulled out a few of the bills and handed them to me.
"Don't go spending all you money at once kid." he said. By that time we had gotten to the hotel we would be staying at I shoved the money in my pocket and went over to watch the paper lamp spin over the lake. Ero-kun handed me a room key and said where to find him when I was out of money.
"Kay'!" I smiled. And ran off to every shop and food store I could find.
I ran out of money after buying some pocki. I chewed on them and went to the bar where Ero-kun said I could find him. I walked in to find my wallet empty. I stared at the lump that used to be occupied by my hard earned money. Hours of gardening, chasing pets, my raise from my last mission. They were all in that little frog. It was all gone. I couldn't help myself I screamed. The two girls that were hanging over Ero-kun back out the room in fear.
"Hey? What's the big idea Kid?" he replied angrily.
"You...YOU! ALL MY MONEY!" I shouted he seemed to understand when I threw my empty wallet at him. I rolled his eyes which made me even angrier. I let that weird purple chakra flare. His eyes went wide. I grabbed him by the arm and spun him around, flinging him out the bar with all my strength. Then men and woman in the bar stared at me in surprise. I went to beat him up some more when he grabbed the bruise mark on my neck.
"SEAL!" he yelled. The purple chakra disappeared and my world went black.
I woke up in our hotel room. I found a note stuck to my forehead. I grabbed at it and read it.
Naruko, That chakra's dangerous kid.
Anyway, I went out for a while. Practice your
concentration or something. See you tonight.
Jiraiya.
I groaned. He left me all alone. I walked over and opened the room window. The air outside was cool and refreshing. I did as I was told and sat on my bed. And started to meditate. I shook the feeling that I was being watched and continued. I unconsciously summoned some clones and they meditated as well. I opened my eyes about an hour later to see them snoring around the room.
"Who said you guy's could sleep?" I said plainly. I rolled my eyes and dispelled them. I heard a ruckus outside and looked out my window. It was Sasuke. What was he doing here? I shrugged it off, it couldn't be Sasuke, he was training with Kakashi, probably some one else. I heard a knock on my door. "Coming." I said. I thought it was Ero-kun, probably got dumped and came back. I snickered at the thought. The knocking got louder. " I said I was coming!" I yelled at the door before opening it.
Sasuke's POV
Earlier that day... I walked around the village, I couldn't find Kakashi anywhere. Or my Naruko. I decided to go to Kakashi's house after a while. I knocked on the door, when Gai answered.
"Where's Kakashi-sensei?" I asked. Gai didn't answer so I pushed pass him and found him laying unconscious on the bed. "What happened?" I demanded. Everyone was there, most of the Jonins, minus Asuma. "Why are all the teachers here?" I demanded again. No one said a word. They just sent wary glances to each other. Suddenly, another Jonin came rushing through the door.
"Is it true!? Is Itachi really back?" he exclaimed. My eyes widened.
"SHUT UP!" Kurenai yelled. The man didn't hear her.
"And is it true he's after Naruko?!"he blurted out. Gai covered his mouth. Then looked at me. My sharingan was spinning in my eyes. Kurenai spoke up.
"Sasuke calm down, we don't know where Naruko is yet." but then she stopped talking. What she said made me angrier. No wonder I couldn't find Naruko all day. I jetted out the door and to her house.
I banged and kicked the door of Naruko's apartment.
"NARUKO! NARUKO ARE YOU HOME!?" I yelled pounding the door. Sakura came up the stairs.
"Oh, Sasuke H-" she stopped when she saw my eyes.
"Where's Naruko!?" I half yelled. Sakura looked confused.
"She didn't come home?" she said.
'What do you mean?! You saw her today?" I demanded.
"Well, yeah. She was with a big White haired man they were talking to Asuma-sensei." She said. "And here I am with a bowl of my mother ramen just for her." she sighed. Then she opened Naruko's window and placed it on the dresser in front of it. After closing the window she left. I ran off to find Asuma.
Asuma was sitting on a bench watching Shikamaru practice.
"Asuma-sensei!" I yelled he looked over at me.
"Something the matter?" He asked.
"Where's Naruko!?" I exclaimed. He thought.
"Oh yeah. She and Jiraiya-san went to get Ramen after telling me he was helping her with training." he said. I didn't listen and bolted to Ichirukas.
I burst into the shop. It was empty. The man behind the counter looked over at me.
"Where'd Naruko go?" I asked. He thought.
"She and a white haired man left town a little bit ago, to the big shop place just north of the village." he smiled. I nodded and ran out the village. I didn't stop until I reached the town.
I searched everywhere but Naruko was no where to be found. Thankfully, a man at a candy shop said he knew a girl that fit Naruko's description perfectly.
"yeah, I believe she's staying at the hotel two shops over." he smiled. I nodded. Then ran for the Hotel, hopefully I wasn't to late. I walked into the hotel and rang the desk bell. A lady came out. I pulled Naruko's picture out of my pocket and showed it to the lady.
"have you seen her? Is she staying here?" I asked The lady thought.
"I might've seen her when I traded ships." she said. Then handed me a room number. Here, try this room. She said. I nodded thankfully. Hopefully I wasn't to late. I ran up three floors and four doors down the hall. Knocking on the door. It didn't open. I kicked it down.
"No one's here..." I said. Just the wind blowing cool air through some open windows.
Me- DUN DUN DUUUUN Thanks Jiraiya! That was epicness!
Jiraiya- Of course it was, the window's were a good touch.
Me- Yep yep!
Sasuke- DIDN'T YOU JUST READ WHAT HAPPENED!? WHERES MY NARUKO!? I'LL KILL BOTH OF YOU!
Me- *gulp* Heh heh... moving on. Read and Review please! Wai- Ahh! Sasuke! My...neck...
