I do not own Naruto

..................

"Are you sure you don't want to come back to Konoha with us?" I asked looking up at my cousin.

He shook his head softly, "No, my home is here now, just like you I have people here that I care about. Although it would be nice if you visited some time."

I nodded as we turned to leave. "See you later then!"

..............

Three days of walking, three days of complete and utter boredom. Neji and Shino were of no entertainment either, and I think Kakashi is most likely annoyed with me by now. My neck itched like crazy since until we get back to the village I have to wear a neck brace.

"Are we there yet? I'm hungry and sick of crackers, some ramen would be nice." I whinned.

Neji sighed, "Stop complaining, we'll get there when we do, now-" He never got to finish his sentence as I shouted .

"There it is!" I took off running towards the village.

"I'll meet you guys in Granny's office!" I waved as I ran. Sighs of annoyance could be heard from the three males.

................

Making it to the office I knocked. "Come in!" Tsunade shouted.

Opening the door I smiled, but it turned into a frown as I saw a old man with bandages covering his left eye and a 'X' scar on his chin.

"Hey Granny, who's this old guy?" I asked pointing to him. "He can't be a ninja, maybe retired, he's kinda old. I don't think it would be safe to send him on any missions."

Tsunade sighed, although she did look amused. The old man looked at me oddly. Almost like he was trying to study me. I didn't like his stare, it made me uncomfortable.

"No, Yuki. This is Danso, he's the leader of the Foundation and Anbu who serve it." Tsunade told me in a 'you-don't-want-to-mess-with-him' kind of tone.

"Oh, well sorry old man. I didn't know you were so important. I'm Yuki Okami." I held my hand out.

"Okami huh? Your parents were Anbu, although they weren't part of the foundation." He left my hand hanging out to him as he walked to the door. "We'll talk later Tsunade, I can see you have this child to worry about."

After he walked out I glared at the door. "I already don't like him. When someone puts their hand out you shake it. How rude." I mumbled to myself as I turned back to a amused Tsunade. "Well Granny, the mission was a success."

"That's great Yuki, but may I ask why you have a neck brace on?" She looked at my neck.

"Oh, well you see..." As I explained everything that happened, she smiled at some parts looking proud, while others she looked a little angry.

She shook her head at the end of my story. "Yuki, I remember telling you that as a medical ninja, you are supposed to stay safe no matter what. If you have to fight, you must be the last one standing."

As she quickly healed my neck, I grinned. "Yeah, but Kakashi sensei also taught me that if you don't follow the rules you're scum, but if you abandon your comrades you're worse than scum. And Granny I don't plan of being worse than scum."

She blinked at me, then tried to hide a smile. "Well despite that, I'm proud you were able to do what you did. Even being able to heal lungs like that is very impressive for someone who has had so little time to learn medical ninjutsu. Maybe when you get back from your training with Jiraiya I can teach you some more. Sakura might be able to help too. Since I'm going to be her sensei for the three years that you and Naruto will be gone." Tsunade smiled sweetly.

I grinned, "That would be great!" Our attention was brought to the door as a knock sounded. The cough of Kakashi alerted us who it was.

"Come in," Tsunade answered, walking back behind her desk.

-That Night-
-3RD Person POV-

Two figures were chained down to the ground. Both showed no signs of remorse or regret, though they were annoyed.

The sun had gone down, and the cell they were placed in had no other source of heating or light. The moment the sun had vanished, the cell became a cold place that was pitch black.

"It's stupid." One growled, shifting slightly. The chains around his arms clicked as he moved.

"Hmm?" The other muttered.

"Omasu demands we help him, and we get caught as well." The first complained. "Now we're supposed to wait for another ally to come to our rescue."

The other shrugged, "Do you honestly believe we'll be rescued? We failed Omasu, it's not likely he'll have us rescued. We'll probably rot here."

Both men had yet to notice the figure that emerged from the air. His face was covered in an orange mask, only one eye visible to the world. One eye that was far from friendly.

"Rot?" The new comer muttered, his voice deep and intimidating. Both men stiffened and looked towards the new figure. "Like I'd let you rot in this cell."

Both blinked, the one who had spoken first smirked. "Took you long enough. Lets get out of here. We have an Okami to kill."

The masked man said nothing, only grabbing the two and disappearing. He had plans for the two ninjas. And it didn't involve rotting in a cell. No, that fate was far to kind.

These men deserved something much more brutal. Something far more terrorizing.

"Tell me." The masked man asked, appearing in a dark place that resembled a cave. "After I'm done with you, will you regret killing Imoto's clan?"

When confusion greeted him, he shrugged. "Oh well. I guess I'll never know." His visible eye narrowed down on the men. "Now then, how about some payback for imoto?"

-Yuki's POV-

I grinned as I stared at Kiba panting. Both him and Akamaru on the ground exhausted after fighting me.

"Wanna go again?" I asked pulling another kunai.

"N-n-not today... Y-Yuki you have a-as much energy... as Naruto." Kiba panted. "I-I can't even...move."

I grinned more as I ran over to them, picking up Akamaru, then running again. "Ha! My plan worked! Now I get Akamaru to myself! Whose a cute puppy?" I cooed as I ran.

"Yuki! Give him back!" I heard Kiba yell as he ran after me.

"Never!" I cried as I hugged the tired puppy to my chest running faster. Akamaru yipped licking my face.

"Awe! You're so cute!" I cooed again.

"Yuki!" I laughed at Kiba.

"Nope he's mine now!" I giggled as I took off on rooftops.

Villagers and other ninja's looked amused as I ran from a shouting Kiba.

'I should have known you would try to steal my dog! You do it every time! Why do I even train with you!?" He grumbled trying to run faster after me.

"Because you thought you could beat me and your man pride needed a boost,-" I stopped when my leg was grabbed by a swarm of bugs, lifting me in the air.

Akamaru was take from my hands by Shino, then handed back to Kiba. My eye twitched as the bugs crawled on my leg.

"Let me go Shino!" I shouted, he answered by staring at me, in a very creepy manner. Knowing he would not release me soon I took out a marked kunai, throwing it away from them. Releasing the seal I grinned as I was on the house next to theirs.

I gave them a peace sign before running away. "See you later!" I called as I ran for the hot spring.

"I could do for some relax-" I stopped seeing Jirayia siting by the womans hotspring giggling.

"Maybe not.." I paused taking a deep breath. "Pervy Sage! Stop peeping on woman you old pervert!" I shouted scaring the old man.

Woman screamed as they left hearing my shouting. Jiraiya cried as he heard them leaving. "Look what you did Yuki!"

I crossed my arms over my chest. "Well, as far as I'm concerned you should be ashamed of yourself! Peeping on females is wrong and very perverted! Didn't Tsunade's beating you not teach you a thing?"

He sighed, "Are you here to see if I will train you?"

"Well, at first no, but now that you mention it..." I smiled.

"Well I can't, I have a mission to do-"

"Then take my with you."

"No, you're only a Genin, this needs a Chunin at least if I'm even talking anyone with me." He looked smug as he crossed his arms.

"Well good thing I'm a Chunin then." I smirked.

Jirayia froze looking at me. "You're a Chunin?" His voice was flat.

My smirk grew, "Yup, I am."

He sighed defeated. "Fine, we are going to try to get information on the Akatsuki."

I smiled widely. "Great! Maybe I can add on to my Tensai, and if I get lucky I can kick some of their butts!"

"Yeah, yeah. While I tell Tsunade you go pack up." Jirayia walked away.

I grinned running back to my apartment, about half way I remembered the seal I had left in my bedroom. Quickly I released it as I appeared in my room.

I grabbed everything I needed, change of clothes, extra weapons, bandages, and other needed objects. After slipping on my Chunin vest and leaving my hair down I jumped out of my window.

Making it to the gates I was greeted by Jirayia and the remainder of team seven.

"Are you guys coming too?" I asked looking at Kakashi.

He shook his head. "No, we are going on a different mission. Although since you're going with Jirayia another person is subbing for you."

"Awe! You get better missions Yuki-chan!" Naruto whined.

I laughed, but that stopped when Naruto turned to Jirayia. "Don't be a big pervert, okay Pervy Sage? Also don't take advantage of Yu-" I cut him off my face burning with embarrassment.

"Naruto-kun! That's enough! Like I would let an old pervert do anything like that. Your lack of faith in me hurts." I smiled.

"Yuki we need to go now." Jirayia pushed looking slightly embarrassed.

"Okay, bye Naruto-kun, Sakura, Kakashi sensei!" I waved as I jumped for the trees.
