I do not own Naruto

"Yuki, get up." I groaned as my shoulder was shaken.

"Five more minutes." I mumbles as I hit the person's face.

"Ow, Yuki why did you hit my face?"

"God! Where the hell is the snooze button? I said five more minutes." I grumbles as I slapped their face again.

"Yuki!" I was thrown from my bed.

I groaned again, curling into a ball to keep warm. "Just five more minutes."

"We need to head out now!" I peaked a sleepy eye open to see Jiraiya and Arashi.

The crystal user had a red mark on his face, along with a very annoyed look as he glared at me. "Head out where?" I yawned as I sat up on the floor rubbing my eye. My long blonde hair fell into my face as I did so.

"To look for Itatchi and Kisame. Go get ready." Jirayia ordered.

"Oh! Why didn't you say so earlier?" I asked jumping off the ground. I grabbed my bag and ran to the bathroom. Taking out my clothes, two hair ties, headband, and weapons I quickly threw off my pajamas.

Shoving on my outfit I brushes through my hair, then put them up in their normal pig-tails. Adding my headband over my forehead I threw on my weapon pouch and shoes. After brushing my teeth and putting on my mother's necklace I ran out the bathroom.

"Okay, let's go!" I smiled as I patted both of their backs. Looking closely I smiled again as I saw my seal on both of their backs.

As we walked out of the hotel I looked at Arashi, "So why are you joining us today?"

"Just because, this is my village and if those two are a threat, then we need to get rid of them. I'm sure their the reason the genjutsu is allowing other ninja's to get through to the village." He nodded happy with his answer.

I nodded slightly, "Okay then, Pervy Sage, you got the sent?" I looked over to my right, he nodded and handed me the black cloth.

I bit my thumb then performed handsigns, "Summoning jutsu."

Ace appeared in a poof of smoke, seeing me he gave me a small wolfy grin. "Hello, Yuki-sama. What do you need me for today?"

I smiled back, "Why are you so happy? You never grin like that."

He sighed happily, "Just found out I'm going to be having pups." He paused, "Well, my wife is having pups."

I clapped happily, "Awe! So I'm going to have some little Ace's running around? Awesome! Anyway, here, were looking for Itatchi and Kisame again."

I placed the cloth down to him again, he took a sniff before looking around. "I don't seem to sense them around this time, I can try to trace their scent though." He started walking, Jiraiya, Arashi and I behind.

I sighed annoyed, looking around me all I saw were trees. "Ace, you lost their scent didn't you?" I asked as he stopped.

He nodded his head, "I'm sorry, it seems that the scent stops here. I think they used a telportation jutsu from this point. I won't be of anymore help if it comes up to more tracking."

"It's okay, thanks for your help anyway. You can go back." I looked at him as he started grinning again before poofing away.

"Well, it looks like they're gone, and we got no information." I pouted slightly.

"It's okay Yuki, I'll just get some information another time. I guess the mission is over then, and it was a failure." Jirayia sighed as I turned to Arashi.

"Do you at least want us to help put up another genjutsu, or barrier?" I asked looking over at the disappointed man.

"No I don't really need your help on that, but if you don't mind. I would like to show you a quick jutsu before you leave, if you want of course." He smiled softly as he crouched down to me.

My green eyes sparkled, "Really?!" Once he nodded I jumped up, "Okay, come on show me!"

He chuckled before performing a short set of handsigns, he showed them to me as he did each one, "Crystal sword." In his hand formed a jagged green sword.

My mouth dropped as I looked at the large sword, "Woah!"

He smirked as he stood up again, Jirayia chuckled before walking back towards the village. "When your done I'll meet you at the gates."

"Okay!" I shouted as I looked back at Arashi. "So I do these handsigns-" I did the handsigns I saw him do.

"No not that one-" He showed me the right ones again, I nodded and followed his example. "Crystal sword."

"That's almost it Yuki. You just need to add more chakra into it." Arashi smiled as he patted my head.

"Really? Okay, thanks again Arashi!" I paused. "Wait, why did you decide to teach me that, not that I'm complaining. But I thought Suki said you normally don't like teaching anything to outsiders."

He smiled softly again. "Because your mother and I were friends before she was moved to Konoha. That was the first jutsu I learned from her."

I smiled brightly, "So you and Mom were best friends? Wait, I thought all crystal users were moved away from the village."

He nodded. "Yes we were best friends. And yes they did move all the crystal users, but once they thought it was safe enough for us to come back I did. You mother had already had a husband and you then, so she stayed in Konoha and visited."

"Oh," I looked over at the setting sun. "Uh-oh, Grandpa Sage has been waiting by the gate, sorry Arashi I gotta go! I'll come and visit soon!" I waved as I ran for the village.

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

Jirayia stood at the gates as he wrapped his arm over a girl, grinning at her. My eye twitched as I ran up to him. "You ready?" My voice was deathly low as I looked at him. He turned pale as he looked over at me and quickly released the girl.

"Nice meeting you!" He shouted as she walked away, forgetting him right away.

I giggled, "I don't think she will even remember you."

"You're so mean to me, and to think I got you a present." He grumbled crossing his arms.

I blinked, "Present?" He nodded and held out a box. I grinned as I opened it. My mouth opened as I looked at the set of pink crystal kunai.

Looking up at him I smiled before jumping and hugging him around the neck, he chuckled. "Thank you! It's the best present ever!" I shouted as I laughed.

"This way you will always remember the first mission you and I went out on." He grinned poking my cheek. I laughed and nodded.

"I won't ever forget this mission, come on lets head back to the leaf. So when will we start out training?" I asked as we started walking.

"After we get back we'll get Naruto and head out." Jirayia answered before ruffling my hair.

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

Naruto, Jiraiya and I stood at the gates all backed up. I smiled at the Hokage's faces before turning to Sakura, who had come to wish us good-bye.

"See you later Sakura! I'll warn you with Granny, don't wake her up from any naps. She's really cranky then." I whispered to her, knowing Tsunade was also here to wish us good-bye.

I could tell Tsunade had heard seeing the anime vein she got looking at me. I chuckled quietly, "See you in three years Granny! Don't kill Sakura while we're gone!" Her eyebrow twitched, but she looked dumbfounded when I quickly hugged her.

"Thank's for everything, Granny." I whispered before jumping down next to Jiraiya.

After Naruto said his good-bye's we started to head out. Walking beside my friend I smiled. "Hey Naruto-kun?"

He turned to me, "Yeah?"

"I think you should make a new sexy jutsu. Since we're going to be with Pervy Sage I think it would come in handy." I laughed when he grinned and agreed with me.
