*~+^ Falling In Love With The Nine-Tailed Beast^+~*

"Oh that, I worked with Jiriaya too you know?"

You were walking to Lady Tsunade's office and knocked on the door. Your dad was right behind you as you both heard the quiet ' Come in! ' You opened the door and seen Lady Tsunade looking out the window. She turned around shocked to see you. You had grown a bit taller and had gained some muscle as your uniform was a bit tighter than normal.

She welcomed you with a warm smile but then immediately got to business. You pulled a chair over, And started talking with her about your training and what you did for the five months you were gone. About two hours had passed and now she wanted to test your skills. So she called in some ninja. Low and behold it was, Naruto, Sai, Sakura, And Shikamaru. You were so happy to see Shikamaru after five months of not. You had to resist the urge to run up to him and hug him as you needed to be professional.

You all headed out to the training ground. Kakashi, Yamato, Tsunade, And Shikamaru would watch over you as you fought the other three. You would fight them separately then all at once. You were nervous for the last battle against all three but you had no choice. You were getting ready for the first fight which would be You versus Sai. You weren't scared of him as you worked with him before and knew his every move. And you had beat him before. Kakashi came over and gave you a quick pep talk before lady Tsunade called him back. Then you went and stood about twenty feet from Sai. No later than three seconds you were both going at it. You pulled out your sword and he did the same. It was mostly swords clanking together for the first bit then as you both flew back a bit from the force of the swords colliding you pulled out your Jutsu. The first thing you did was the Chidori. This wasn't a surprise to anyone but Naruto and Sakura as they thought only Sasuke was the only other person to do it. You ran straight for Sai and was gaining on him fast. He was painting and created a bird as you hit the ground with the Chidori missing. This pissed you off a bit. You then used an array of Justu to get him out of the sky. You pulled out the Resangan which shocked everyone as they thought you couldn't pull it off.

You aimed it at the bird knocking Sai out of the sky. You ran over to him before he could get up and put your sword in the ground next to his head and the match was called in your favor. As you were recovering chakra Sakura and Naruto came over to you. "How'd you do that?" Naruto semi yelled. "Do what?" You asked wrapping up your arm from a cut. Sakura healed it a bit for you. "The Resangan!?" He semi yelled again. "Oh that, I worked with Jiriaya too you know?" You said after stretching a bit. He was shocked by your words. 'Pervy sage had a female student?' He questioned himself, He would ask later as You and Sakura were about to fight.

You headed back down to the field where you had been about a half hour ago. You would jump up and down a bit, causing you boobs to as well, Which caused all the boys but Kakashi to blush. This also pissed Sakura off a bit, but never mind that. It began the same way Your fight with Sai did but as soon as it began you were met with a punch to the face. And you were flung into a hill side. (You were at the waterfall Yamato made) It made the hill shake but you got up like it didn't do anything when in fact it broke your jaw. You ran back at Sakura with clones. You would all move around so quickly so she couldn't tell where the real you was. You then activated your Sharigan and put her in a Genjustu. It wasn't as bad as Itachi's but it was pretty bad. This wore her out but she got out of it. She then came at you again. Hitting every clone until you were left. They all had broken bones whenever their memories came back. As she charged at you again you jumped up avoiding her and landing on top of her pulling your sword out and stabbed the ground next to her head. This ended the match. It was 2/3 matches won for you. You helped Sakura up and brought her up with everyone else. Lady Tsunade healed your jaw the best she could before your next match. It was with Naruto. You were kinda scared for this one. You had herd the Nine-Tails had come out recently and you were worried it would trigger the Shikaku to come out. But none the less you had to fight him. And needed to win to prove you were stronger but without the Shikaku. So shortly after getting healed you headed back to your spot again. You stretched a bit and the Third match began. You headed straight for Naruto but dissappered out of sight of everyone. You came up behind him and hit him with the Resangan. This knocked him into the mountain but not before he sent out shadow clones.

He would use them to aim Resangan's at you but each and everyone of them missed as you took out the clones with one Chidori. He came at you blending in with more clones and did his 'Naruto Uzumaki Berage' This hurt a bit but you got ahold of the real Naruto. This would shock him as you threw him to the ground, They were about to call the match whenever a bit of the Nine-Tails came out. 'Oh shit, I'm fucked,' You thought. You signaled the rest of them not to intervene as you would take care of this. You went for Naruto aiming to knock him out. You would avoid his attacks as you were quick, But not quick enough. He hit your leg, Of course the previously injured one, And you fell to the ground. ' This damn leg and it not being healed.' You thought as Naruto came for you again. You got out of the way and went and grabbed his head slamming it as hard as you could into the ground. This put a dent into the ground and causing Naruto to go out cold. You and him were taken to the hospital. You were close to passing out, but you tried to stay awake as long as you could. You reached the hospital and gave up on staying awake. You passed out as you saw your dads worried face at the doors of a room.

You wouldn't wake up until the next morning. You were awaken by Sakura and Naruto talking. You looked over and saw Sakura cutting up some apples. You sat up and groaned as you did. Your leg ached as you did and your arms gave out from under you but you were caught? You looked up to see Naruto in front of you holding one arm as Shikamaru was holding the other. You slightly blushed being so close to Naruto's chest but thank the lord your mask was on. You said your thanks and laid back down, as it was the only thing you could do. Shikamaru caught you up on what happened and fed you some apples. You asked him to close the curtain so you could take off your mask as you didn't want them to see your face. He did so and you finally took your broken mask off and breathed fresh air.

Shikamaru looked at you concerned. "I'm fine Shika," You said smiling and eating another apple slice. He let out a sigh of relief and helped you sit up. You heard a knock at the door and put your mask back on and opened to curtain. It was Lady Tsunade. She came to check on you and Naruto so Shikamaru and Sakura left the room to come back later. She asked how you both were and you said you were in some pain with your leg, and Naruto seemed fine. She gave you some medicine and left to let you rest. You got under the covers and looked toward Naruto. "Listen, If I go to sleep you better leave my mask on or I will wake up and use my Chidori on you." You stated to him. He nodded kinda scared and you drifted into sleep. Little did you know, It wouldn't last long.
