The Untold Uzumaki

Chapter Ten: Battle on the Bridge! Zabuza Returns!

I sat against the wall, reading a book when Sakura walked in.

"Morning everyone!" She yawned.

"Here." Tsunami put a cup of tea in front of her.

"Oh, thank you." I smiled a little and laughed at a part in my book before closing it.

"Naruto's not here?" Tazuna asked. "Looks like he was out all night again."

"He's gone completely crazy, he's out climbing trees in the dark. He could be dead by now, you know, by using up too much chakra." Sakura replied with annoyance.

"Well, I certainly hope he's okay. A child spending the night in the woods alone.." Tsunami softly spoke.

"There's nothing to worry about. Naruto is a goofy kid, but he's also a full fledged ninja. He can handle himself." Kakashi probably smiled under his mask. Does anyone know when he smiles?

"Sakura's right. Naruto's such a loser..he's probably lying out there, dead somewhere." Sasuke added. I scowled, and stood up, putting my book in my purse.

"Shut up Sasuke. Just cause you're jealous of him doesn't mean you have to act like it." I scowled at him still. I grabbed a bowl full of food, and looked at Tsunami. "May I?" I asked.

"Oh, uh, of course!" She smiled a little. I smiled back and nodded, filling it to the brim, and holding it.

"Thank you. I'll be back soon." I said, and started walking out the door.

"Uh, Tessa! What about you?"

"I'll eat later. Trust me, I don't eat breakfast a lot anyway. See ya!" I said and took off. After a minute, I looked back, and Sasuke was behind me, following. I rolled my eyes with a smirk. "Duckass."

When I finally got to the spot where Naruto was, I saw a person with long black hair, in a kimono. I studied them while walking up to Naruto, and realized, its a boy. He seems familiar. I walked up to Naruto with a bowl of food, and sat next to him as the boy left.  Sasuke came up next to me and suddenly hit Naruto on top of his head.

"Ow, hey, what was that for, cut it out!"

"Hey twerp, did you just forget about breakfast? You're such a loser." I rolled my eyes.

"Just shut up already, big mouth." I said, and handed Naruto the bowl. "Here you go, Naru. Hurry up and eat it, so you can get strong and finish your training, okay?" I smiled. He laughed a little and nodded.

"Alright!"

I sat in the tree next to Naruto's reading my book, and heard Sakura yelling.

"Naruto?" She called. I peeked my head out and saw Kakashi standing with her. "Knowing Naruto, he could be anywhere. And Tessa and Sasuke hasn't come back either, I wonder where they are." I smiled as Naruto then sent a kunai perfectly straight in front of Sakura's feet. He laughed a little, laying on the branch.

"Whoa! Naruto can climb that high now, using his chakra? That's great!"

"What do you think, is this high enough for you guys? I mean it is a long way down!" He stood up, but then he slipped, and started to fall. I gasped, and started to stand.

"Oh no, Naruto!" Sakura yelled.

"Uh oh.." Kakashi started. I stood, and then jumped towards his tree, hoping to catch him fast. He continued to start to fall and Sakura screamed. I almost made it, when Naruto stood upside down on the branch, making me put my feet on the trunk, sighing.

"Haha, just kidding, you guys really fell for it! Hahahahahahaha!!!" He laughed.

"Why do I think this is going to end badly?" Suddenly, Naruto's feet pulled off the branch and he started falling for real.
