Please Don't Leave Me

Enter Naruto Uzumaki!

(Kazumi's P.O.V.)

"Get back here! Naruto! Kazumi!" shouted the Jounin behind us, chasing Naruto and I with buckets of paint in both of our hands. I just knew if Sasuke saw me here with Naruto he would throw a fit, but in all honesty I didn't want to be part of this prank. I didn't even do anything really.

(Flashback 2 hours before)

I walked around the corner of the next building silently looking up at the not so bright sky. I usually wake up early and I decided to walk around the village given the fact it was mostly empty right now, I know that Sasuke was already up but he went out for some early training before we had to start heading to the academy. No doubt trying to get better with his chakra to surpass me, but as long as he has a goal then that's good.
"Kazumi! Hey!" I heard behind me, and when I turned around Naruto was already in my face with a big grin on his face.
"Hey, do you think you can help me?" he asked. I was a little nervous to ask what he was about to ask me to do because it wasn't like he always had a very good reputation of not pulling pranks. In the end I sighed silently and agreed to whatever he wanted me to help him with, I didn't like saying no to my friends unless necessary but he wasn't going to tell me much anyway. He told me he wanted to paint the Hokage's faces, I could only sigh at his stupidity but he told me I didn't have to help paint him but to help him swipe some paint and hold it for him while he did it.

After spending quite some time that morning, we found some paint near his neighbor's house where it was just sitting out there. He grabbed the paint and dragged me to the Hokage's faces while I held the paint. I got some on my hand but ignored it watching that idiot up there while he made weird designs on it.

"Hold it right there, Naruto. And you...Kazumi?!" one of the Jounin yelled at me and Naruto.
"Woah, woah. She didn't do anything, she doesn't need to get in trouble" said Naruto
"Yes, but she could've said 'no' and stopped you, so now she's responsible too. And look, she has paint on her hands" said the other guy next to him
"Uh-oh, this isn't going to die down any time soon. Oh well. Let's run for it!" said Naruto grabbing my wrists pulling me away really fast. He finally let me go when I started running on my own.

(Present time)

We jumped from building to building with both the Jounin hot on our tails, they still didn't believe I hadn't done anything because I had paint on my hands, finally we jumped down onto the streets and Naruto pulled me behind his camouflage to look like a fence. But like he always did, he didn't wait before he took it down too early.
One of my special abilities is knowing who and where someone is, I can smell their scent and know exactly who it is. That one I learned from Kiba and Akamaru with special chakra they showed me how to do, I became his friend not too many months ago. He and Akamaru took me to their training grounds and taught me how to sense someone and recognize them based off their scent which took me a while but I learned it eventually. Obviously, I was still nowhere close to their level, but I was still fairly good at it.

Of course Naruto didn't know Iruka sensei was standing right behind him.
"Hahahaha, that was too easy!"
"Oh yeah, Naruto?!" yelled Iruka scaring Naruto making him jump in the air and land on his butt turning around. He looked a little scared but lost it when he figured out who it was.

"Where'd you come from Iruka sensei? What're you doing here?" almost like he was scolding him.
"No, what're you doing here? And where's Kazumi? She wasn't in class with her brother" he said.
There really was no reason for me to be hidden anymore, it's either keep hiding and hear about this from Sasuke or go back to class and avoid him asking me questions later. I let the camouflage drop to the ground with me just sitting right there.

"Kazumi, you need to be in class. Sasuke is not going to be happy when he hears what happened" he said, he was right but I didn't need to say 'I know' and instead just stood next to him waiting to go.
"Come on, Naruto. WE need to get back to class." he said to him in a warning voice.
"No way, I don't wanna go back!" he yelled. Iruka sensei glared at him and soon enough tied up Naruto and dragging him back to class. I was right about Sasuke asking questions about where I went, and I was also right that he had definitely not been happy with me about pranking with Naruto. I'm sure he's going to be scolding me later. Iruka was standing in front of the room scolding Naruto but I was looking out the window not even paying attention.

'I wonder what he's doing right now. I miss you so much... are you coming back again?' I thought to myself.
"Fine! Because you missed it Naruto, everyone will be practicing the transformation jutsu" the entire class groaned.
"Why whine about it, if you want to be a ninja you have to be ready for all kinds of jutsus until you run out. If you don't want to do it that badly then why be a ninja?" I said quietly to myself.
"Hn, you're right though. These losers need to be ready for any kind of jutsu being thrown at us." said Sasuke, he heard me I guess. I nodded and we all line in in the front of the room. Sakura went first, I didn't really like her. She and Ino are the biggest stalkers of Sasuke's fan girls, I'm surprised she doesn't know where we live, even if it a little far from school.

"Alright, Sakura here. Let's do this" she said transforming into Iruka sensei.
"Transformed into me, good" he said.
"Yes! I did it! Yeah! Sasuke, did you see?" she asked.
'Why am I not surprised, she would dedicate her performance to my brother. Typical Sakura.' I thought bitterly
"Next up, Sasuke Uchiha" he said, he turned into another Iruka sensei. It was almost too easy for him to pass this transformation jutsu.
"Good, now next up, Naruto Uzumaki." he called, Naruto just came to the front.
"Transform!" he yelled. I expected a funny looking Iruka sensei to make him mad but instead there was a female version of Naruto with twin blonde pigtails and no clothes to cover up except for clouds around the lady parts. He just blew Iruka a kiss and Iruka was so shocked he went flying across the room with his nose bleeding. Naruto transformed back (thank goodness because if he had kept going all the girls would totally beat him up)

"Hahahahaha, got ya! That's my sexy jutsu" he said laughing
"CUT THE STUPID TRICKS!! THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING!!" Iruka yelled with two tissues up his nose to stop the bleeding in his nose.
"Hmph, whatever. Next up, Kazumi Uchiha" he called me up. Already, the boys were leaning in looking at what I was going to do. I made the jutsu sign and turned myself into the third Hokage. Not a wrinkle or nose hair off.
"The third Hokage? Very good Kazumi, you're just like your brother" he said. I smiled lightly to myself and stood back in line. Sasuke put a hand on my shoulder with a small smirk. I just smiled in return as the rest of the students went into transforming either dedicating their performance to me or Sasuke, save for a couple.

'Tch. Just imagine what the girls in town would be like if they saw him come back, he'd be more popular in looks than Sasuke. Only by a little though.... I wonder...does he ever miss us? Or think about coming back to the village?' I thought with a mental sigh

By the time class was over Sasuke and I headed to the training ground we shared. Tomorrow would be the final Genin exam to see who moves on or not and right now we want to get some extra practice in before tomorrow to ensure we'll pass. Even though I know we will, it doesn't hurt to keep practicing.
Sasuke stood on one side and I stood on the other.

"I won't go very easy this time, but I'll still hold back a little bit" he stated.
"Wouldn't want you to treat me special because I'm your sister, don't try to hold back what you got" I said back. We had a little stare down for a few minutes and he lunged at me with his kunai, I went right at him too with my katana ready. We both released a battle cry before we went at each other.


(Time skip to next morning)

When I woke up, I groggily looked out the window next to my bed to see that the sun was barely up. I left earlier than usual this morning. Sasuke doesn't really like it when I leave too early when he's training. Since training last night I gave up, given the fact we both had used up more chakra than we probably should have and we called it a tie. This was fairly normal for us, because while we had fairly different fighting styles, we matched each other in combat perfectly that it was very rare that we had anything more than a tie. I made my way to the Hokage's office and waited for him.

'knock knock'
"Come in" he said. I opened the door carefully because I don't think he expected me to be here so early in the morning, but he did tell me I could come by whenever I wanted. He looked up from his chair and looked at me with somewhat surprised
"Ah, Kazumi. Was there something you needed?" he asked, I looked up from the ground.
"Yes, Lord Hokage. I was hoping you would take time to train me today before the ninja tests started later today"
"Why is that? You already learned many lessons from me and Kakashi. There's no reason to practice before the test. You have more than a good chance of passing, you and your brother" he said
"I know Lord Hokage, but if we need to demonstrate a difficult jutsu I want to make sure I'm ready." I said
"Hmm, very well. Let's go then" he said. He sat up from his chair and we walked out, the rest of the way we were silent because I didn't talk much. Unlike what you may be thinking, having the Hokage train me, it was more like a session to see some of the problems I have with my taijutsu and ninjutsu. I ordinarily didn't go to him because Kakashi sensei would be the one to teach me but I haven't seen him for the last week or so, so until I can actually find him I would ask the third Hokage. But we didn't get to train for long until Sasuke came to pick me up. As usual, our walk to the academy was quiet but it was enjoyable. When we finally made it to the academy, students began to talk and laugh happily telling each other that they were definitely going to pass the exam. Not a lot of people really knew what was going to happen in the exam, but they at least knew that if you could get a few jutsus done, you could pass it easily. Iruka sensei walked in not too long after that and called for the class to be quiet.
