Two green eyes opened as yawn escape her mouth. Pounding her hand down on her alarm clock as it went off, a twelve year old Sakura Haruno sat up in bed then head towards her kitchen. She looking around for a moment.
'Six years and I still expect someone to be here. Why I never know' she thought
She was a oprhan and had been one for as long as she could remember there was never anyone in this house she lived alone in. Shaking her head she decide now was not the time to think about this like always when this matter came to mind. Never once wonder why she only had this feeling for only half a decade rather then her entire life.
Eating her breakfast and cleaning up after getting dressed in her normal outfit. She locking the door to her house when she noticed Ino coming by. Glaring at the before talking amount to flick a hand through her long hair. Hair that they had both been growing for the past six years on the rumor that Sasuke like girls with long hair.
"Hey there Ino-pig" Sakura said greeted her.
"Yo Forehead" Ino replied back.
"Naruto-kun is my rival" a third voice said scaring the crap out both girls.
"Hinata, Stop doing that!" the both of the yell as the Hyuga girl just seem to pop up out of no where proclaiming her rivalry with the male blond ninja.
"Acknowledge that he is my rival and I will stop" she told her with the same blank stare she gave everyone but her father, siblings, Naruto, and Tenten.
"How many time do I have to tell you before it gets through that thick skull of yours. Seriously you are as bad as Naruto when it comes to listening. I DO NOT LIKE NARUTO, my love is Sasuke-kun" Sakura said.
"Stop lying to yourself both of you" the Hyuga said as she stared them both in the face before leaving.
"What a weirdo that girl is claiming that we do not love Sasuke-kun but maybe she right about you, Billboard Brow" the young Yamanaka said both noticing that annoyed stared on Sakura's face.
It was one that she made every time that she noticed Naruto was doing something reckless or stupid again. Seriously if the girl did not care for him as much she protest then why was she always one of the first people to find him after he pulled a prank or anger someone (it was amazing how he managed to fake out Jonin and above though but not Sakura). Hinata was just as worse with her own antics. She the self-proclaimed rival of Naruto who used to show the rather large scar she has on her chest to people. Claiming that the scar is proof of her rivalry with Naruto but she never go into detail just how she managed to get that scar. Nor would she ever explain just how it was connected to Naruto and he would never clear up the matter himself either when asked.
Elsewhere…
A twelve year old Naruto was hanging from a rope as he painted three of the four Hokage faces. Just how he was able to do this without attract anyone attention was unknown. You would think someone would notice paint appearing on the biggest landmark in the entire village.
"You sure you have been taking this prankster thing to the extreme," Kyubi said
"Hey, if you are going to do something, do it well. Me being a prankster is much better then staying in class where they are just trying teach me stuff I have know for years," Naruto said as finished up the his work on paint the three of the four Hokage's faces.
"Say, Kyubi, why can't I paint the face of the Fourth Hokage too?" the blond asked.
"Because I said so, that's why; if you want a further explanation, I tell you later. Now if you are done, you really need to get going" the demon fox said and Naruto just nodded in response.
Within his office the Third Hokage just sighed as Naruto had grown up to be a rather interesting individual. There was far more to him then met the eye but managed to fool pretty much everyone that did not know him well enough.
'If only he did not channeled his boredom into pranks though' the Hokage thought letting out a large sigh about Naruto's choice since it caused him no end of problems. Ones that he mostly had to deal with as result.
Summoning an group of Jonin, he order them to chase after Naruto for what he had done to the Hokage Mountain. Of course he did not expect them to actually find the blond but it was mostly for show as if Naruto did not want to be found. Only a few people could really go about doing so.
As the Jonins jumped through the village they managed to pass what seem to be normal wall and never managed to give it a second look at all. While the high ranking ninjas ingored the wall a pink hair girl came up to it and just stared intently at it.
She then threw a punch at the wall which seem to be rather stupid thing to do until her fist was caught. The camouflage dropped and Naruto holding her fist with his now opened hand. A glare appeared on her face she then moved to kick in the side watching him fall as he hit the ground a few feet away.
"Baka!" Saukra yelled glaring at him as he got up off the ground.
"I can not believe that you have done something so stupid as painting three of faces on Hokage Monument!" the pink hair girl yelled.
"That just goes to show everyone how great I am. Who do you know that is able to do something like this without anyone noticing?" he said dusting himself off.
"That not the po…." Sakura began before Naruto activating a seal freezing the pink hair girl and the world dead in it tracks.
"She sure is strange; it's been six years and not only she is still here, but she had grown as if she was still human," Naruto said looking over the angry girl currently covered in red tint that surrounding everything else in the area of the seal.
"Not only that, the flame within this torch has gotten bigger as well. In all my life I have only heard of two other torches to have this much power of existence within them. However, the Treasure Tool known as the Midnight Lost Child or Reiji Maigo was said to be the reason for at least one of the torches have so much Power of Existence within them," Kyubi told him.
"I remember you telling me that once, yet Sakura here is not a Mystes. Just a simple ordinary torch that should burnt out a long time ago" Naruto told him.
"That's the problem. This torch is an abnormality that seems connected to us somehow and I am sure something happened when you bumped into her while she was originally on the verge of burning out," the fox said.
"Well, until we figure out what it is, I guess I just have to keep watch over her the way I have been doing," Naruto sighed.
He then turned to what appeared to be nothing but a simple wall, but once he had jumped over it and landed on the other side, it could be since that Hinata was standing there watching him.
"Just what is with these two! They are always able to find me even when the Jonins cannot!" Naruto said loudly.
"Also, it appears she's really starting to notice something happening when she's caught in a seal," Kyubi said as the look on Hinata's face starting to show her acknowledgement over being caught up in a seal.
"Probably want to challenge me or something her dad wants from me" he said "more then likely the latter as if she wanted to fight she would have already came did so already"
Done having check on both girl Naruto moved back to the place where he was before activating the seal.
"….int! Now, come on! I am taking you to the Hokage for your punishment," Sakura finished once the seal was lifted.
"Okay, let's go" Naruto said
However Hinata appearing claiming she should be the one that take Naruto to the Hokage. As his rival this was something that only she should be allow do. The two of them ending dragging Naruto to the Hokage Sakura glaring at Hinata. While the young Hyuga just gave her usual blank stare.
