Yuko, child interrogator (muahahaha)

Idate's 'plan' to get me out of trouble!

Sorry readers I know I haven't been updating any of my stories like I'm should but finals are here and I have been cramming! I also have a question for you guys. should I have this be a prequel and just make another book about her life during the actual story or should I just continue on like this and make one Big story (not including shippuden because I have yet to deside if i go that far) ? Please I need ideas

After my little game of "tag" with Idate, we all sat around in a circle and they asked questions. Ikari-sensei wasn't very happy sense he wanted wanted to wanted to get the day over with so he would have to babysit anymore! 

Turns out that Ikari-sensei hated the idea of being in-charge of a genin team. It would explain why I don't here Nii-san talk about him much. Idate always went to Aoi Rokusho, a resident chunin instructor in the village, when he actually wanted to learn something besides increasing his speed. However Nii-sans teammates seem alright i guess, Tonbo seems to be a bit quiet and Sachi was friendly enough at first but she seemed to be extremely blunt. 

"So your the idiots precious imoto hu?" Sachi asked bluntly, "I don't see any relation, your scary and he's  a rude idiot who flirts with any living ting that may possibly be female."

"I DO NOT!" Idate protested, "and besides your  the rude one Sachi.  Seriously you just met Yuko, how could you call her scary! shes the cutest thing to walk this earth." I snorted as I gave my brother a i am now questioning your sanity  look. 

"Well maybe for your family she is." the konoichi retorted, "because honestly if you hadn't addressed her as imoto  I would have assumed she was a guy. Though I guess that's fair I mean look at how you turned out." 

As my big brother argued with his teammate Tonbo came and sat down beside me Placing a hand on my shoulder and gave me a sympathetic pat. I made a point to shrug to show him it didn't bother me too much, "don't worry i'm used to it, get worse at the academy." i briefly wonders how Sasuke was handling his fan-girls, than pushed it to the back of my mind and decided that a little fear was good for the soul. 

Turning to get a good look at the silent shinobi beside me i finally got a good look at him  at first i just thought he was short, now i realize he's actually tall for his age because hes maybe a year older than i am, one of those child protege's that graduated early would be my guess. I chose not to comment on it, after all if he's already a ninja he must deserve the title, especially at this age, even more so with the fact that we are not currently at war. 

Tonbo had dark, almost black, hair and two different colored eyes; one a honey color and the other a piercing blue. he was quite a bit taller than me, tall for his real age i guess, and a single sword strapped to his back over his jacket, a back scarf hanging around his neck which i don't understand as its not that cold out here.

"Alright!  just shut up you two. " their sensei broke them part. "How about something productive, you know good and well that the konoha chunin exams are coming up her a few days, foreign shinobi can start showing up any time now."

"Woah, woah, woah!" i shot a look at Idate, "You didn't tell me you were going to be a chunin"

He scratched he back of his head blushing a bit "You bettcha. your big brother is going to be the best, hehe"

"Idiot" Sachi smacked him, "You have to pass the exams first bozo." 

After Tonbo and Ikari-sensei got the other two wrangled into some kind of agreement we set off to work on D-ranks.

 Clean up a river, babysit a nobles kid, wash dishes at the local BBQ. My favorite was the last one, as the restaurant was owned by a couple of Akimichi's who happened to recognize me and insist i sit and eat all the leftovers and take home what i couldn't stuff down. "Your far to scrawny dear!"

It was as i sat there packing up my food, Idate's teammate had left as this was their last mission for the day and were doing personal training, when a familiar voice screamed from the other side of the glass window. "AH HA so this is where you have been hiding!"turning around i found a irked Iruka-sensei packing a tied up Naruto over his shoulder. 

"Shi--" i cut myself off mid word at the chunins glare. "Umm hey sensei. how you doing?" 

"Ok imoto I've got the whole day planned out an-"Idate blinked as he came around the corner from the bathroom and noticing Iruka "RUN! "

And so we did just that, Nii-san grabbed my wrist and took off. "I have a plan he'l never find you this way." looking ahead i quickly took note of the fact we were headed to the hot-spring.

"you know Iruka is stubborn he will just wait outside we cant be there forever." i explained. 

"I know" he smiled. "that's why you going in the boys section" 

"Wait.. What?"

"you heard Sachi right, you can pull off a boy fairly well. and this time of day there are only one or two people in their."  he continued pulling me along

"that's two people too many!" i protested.

"don't worry,despite that horrid training bra you had on this morning, you don't have any chest what so ever and wont for the next few years. We can put mud in  your hair so no one recognizes you." he suggested, "as long as you keep your head above the water and your towel on your waist no one will question it"

"IDATE!" 

"come on just listen to me" he said as we slid to a stop by  public faucet outside one of the market stalls. Turning it on to create some mud and than forcibly scrubbing it into my scalp. i did my best to fight but in the end Idate was a ninja and i was just an 8 year old."Iruka-sensei will go into the hot springs and ask who ever is at the front desk if they have seen a kid with orange hair entering the GIRLS side. "   he chuckled "They will never seen it coming."

I hated to admit it but, that was actually a smart idea. Next thing i know idate has paid the fee and dragged me into the male side of the hot-springs. Grumbling under my breath the entire time as Idate paid the lady at the front and forced me into the boys side.  i've never actually been all that self-conscious so i had no problem stripping down in-front of my brother who jut turns red and looks away, but the wrong side o the hot-springs, that's just embarrassing.  

"You are to never speak of this again am i clear." i mumbled angrily as i sunk down into the bath beside Nii-san. who gave me a mock salute letting me know i would never live this down. "Stupid brothers anyway"

at this he dramatically gasped "you , you just" i turned to look at him to see him surrounded by sparkles " you just called me your big brother!" he looked as if he were about to sequel.

Well ya i refer to him as my brother all the time, just um not to his face. i shrugged an threw my hand over his mouth. "shush. I think i hear Iruka" this exchange must have looked weird to the other men on the other side of the bath who couldn't hear us but within a moment i could hear the muffled words of Iruka-sensei talking to the front desk. And even as i listened i could hear the door to the women side open up and then shut again before the lady came to conferm that No there was not an Orange haired girl in the hot-springs.

after Iruka had left i nearly sagged into the water in relief before Nii-san caught me and hauled me  back up.  "don't get your hair wet " he reminded me. 

a few minutes later, we stayed as to not be suspicious, we got out and made our way back home, having enough excitement for the day and knowing Iruka still had people out looking for us. 

"We are home" Idate sounded when he noticed Pa was sitting on the couch, hum he must have gotten out early. pa raised a hand in greeting before seeing my muddied up hair and raising an eyebrow.  Nii-san opened his mouth to launch into the story when i glared at him.

"Not a word out of you" and with that i stomped off to the bathroom for a shower.
