A/N: I skipped the cat scene and went to where Naruto was complaining that they weren't getting real jobs.

BTW Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

--------------------------------------------

"Listen!" The Hokage said to us I paid attention to all of it the first time. everything was so new, I couldn't follow anything! when he explained it the second time about how the jobs worked. Naruto then started reasoning he wasn't the same kid as before that he changed. the Hokage sighs and gives in. "very well. I'll give you a C-ranked mission by protecting a-"

"Who is it a princess? a lord? who who?" Naruto asked excitingly. I smiled at his energy and the Hokage explains that were protecting a bridge builder. I yawned another ninja notices my yawn.

"Are you bored? or tired?" he asked me. I got up alarmed and hit my head on something. "you alright?" he sweatdropped. I nodded my head

"Yeah I'm fine. just fi(yawns)ne" I stated. the Hokage, Kakashi, and the ninja shake their heads already knowing I was lying.

"How many hours do you sleep at night?" the Hokage asks. damn it! my face must have exposed my panicking because they all looked confused.

"Uh..um..."

"And do us all a favor and don't lie" Kakashi stated. I gave him a hateful look then I smell a familiar scent.

"My my lady Crimson is that you?" I hear someone say. I turn around and hug attack the old man standing there.

"Tazuna! I haven't seen you in ages!" I exclaimed the old man chuckles and pats my head.

"You've grown. how old are you now 17, 18?" he asks ruffling my hair I laugh and swap his hands away playfully. and pout.

"19! Nineteeen!"

"I see. So your a Jounin now huh? well congrats Rue must be proud" Tazuna said. I looked down depressed now it's been weeks since someone mentioned my village and there people. "hey something wrong? lady Crimson did something happen?" Tazuna asked me

"No everything's fine. I'll tell you later what happened to the village." my voiced cracked a little while I transported myself to my apartment.

Meanwhile third POV

"So you know Crimson?" the Hokage asked the bridge builder. the bridge builder nodded his head in confusion.

"Yes. I alway go there to build or fix a bridge there. but lately I haven't been receiving any requests from lord Kairio. I wonder why." the bridge builder named Tazuna said

"Okay guys go pack up your stuff" the masked silver haired masked ninja said. they looked confused but nodded there head and disappeared. "okay their gone" he says

"Alright. so mr. Tazuna you know Crimson since when?" the Hokage asked the bridge builder

"Since she was just a baby like my daughter. actually her mother found me and ever since we've I've been close friends with the family. why do you ask?"

"I just wanted to know. Crimson will tell you soon what happened in her village" the Hokage says all of them nod there heads and don't question his reasoning.

/\/\/\3 hours later/\/\/\ Crimson's POV

"Hey Crimson." I heard Naruto say as we were walking. I ignored him and continued on a few hours ahead. When I got away from visual shot and earshot tears start to form.

Why. Why did my family have to die? I quickly wiped my tears off and put on a brave face. I can do this. I can do this I thought. Soon I was attacked by ninjas. "Who the Hell are you!"

"Where's the bridge builder?" One of them asked I realized they were after Tazuna.

"Like Hell I'll tell you!" Then a claw jumped out of nowhere as I dodged it quickly. "Demon Fire!" Soon they were knocked out. But I was weary for blowing the fire as to only knock them out not to kill them.

"Lady Crimson?" I heard soon everything was engulfed in black.

Dream begin:

I see the man who killed my village snickering. "You can't run forever" he said as he attacked me with something. I flinched back engulfed in pure darkness that was total fear and sadness I didn't like it.

"Stop" I mumbled "stop" nothing happened. "Stop it!" I yelled

:Dream end

"We're here" I hear a voice say. I open my eyes and feel as I'm being carried. "Sorry I couldn't be more of assistance Tazuna." And with that the man was gone.

"You can put me down now" I whispered, soon I'm gently put up in a standing position. I'm wobbly at first but then walk fine the rest of the way. "Thank you" I said as Naruto caught a. white rabbit?

"Get Down!" Soon I was in a tree hiding my chakra.
