Hey readers so while your reading this update I have a question I would ask you to think about. Should I make a second book for once she graduates the academy and have this be a sort of prequel. Or should I just make one long big book and not separate them out? Anyway enjoy!

New picture of Yuko by the way.

After almost 3 minutes of slow walking, due to my injured state, I finally made it to the roof top where Shikamaru and Choji were waiting. "Yu-chan! Why are you so la-" the Akimichi suddenly cut himself off dropping his bag of chips and was on his feet in seconds. His odd actions catching the attention of the napping Nara beside him. "Oh Kami, your bleeding! What happened? are you ok? Should we get you to the hospital? I don't know what to do."

"How troublesome." Shikamaru sighed. "Calm down Choji, panicking isn't going to help anything. Besides I doubt she'd let us bring her to a hospital of all places."

"Darn right" i scoffed at the notion of getting medical attention over something so small. "Just help me sit down so I can dig the glass shards out of my feet." some prompting later and that's exactly what happened. After pulling out all the glass pieces from my feet, while Shikamaru tryed to calm down a squeemish Choji, I reached into my weapons training pouch for some spare bandages to wrap my arm up while letting me feet bleed a bit longer as to help wash out any gravel or dirt I had picked up on my walk.

"So ... Um what...what happened Yu-chan?" The now minimally uncomfortable Akimichi asked picking his chips back up and begining to snack once again. Taking this as a good sign Shikamaru turned his attention back to me.

I was secretly glad that Shikamaru had acknowledged I could take care of myself and that if I thought it was serious I would have gone to get help instead of joining them. But Choji's concern brought that warm feeling I always used to get around Kimi, when she would look at me with those big trusting eyes of hers, back before konoha.

"Just some idiot civilian with a weapon." I said taking a bite out of the rice ball I had stollen *cough* I mean acquired before this whole ordeal had begun. "He didn't seem to like my interfering with his violent expression of distaste." I said as politically as I could. "Here wanna see. I confiscated it under the pretense that a civi shouldn't posseses such a dangerous tool."

Pulling the whip off my belt I handed it over to the boys. "Is that ... your Blood?"

Nodding I set to inspecting my feet, pouring my canteen of water over them to clear away the blood so I can see the damage. I guess I could have done this to my arm as well but I wasn't as worried about infection with that one as I was my bare feet.

"Yup. Seems that it is coated with the hides from a variety of reptiles causing the scales to dig into the skin. Luckily it was handled by a untrained civilian or else the damage could have been worse." I stated, knowing exactly what I was talking about. After all chunin with leather whip was something I was all to familiar with.

"Ah" was the only response I got from the boy inspecting said weapon.

(Time skip)

It seemed coming back bandaged and blood stained set off red flags for Iruka-sensei and when I refused to got get checked out by the nurse he was forced by school policy to contact my guardian. AKA Pa.

Iruka-sensei wasn't exactly happy about this development but did so anyway as my bloodied appearance was not only a indication of injury to me but was mentally effecting my peers.

By the time Pa had pulled me out of class and got the story on what happened Iruka was furious. He insisted that the laughing interrogator should be more concerned over my health and take me to the hospital instead of just laughing his head off over the contradiction between my story and that of the rumors running around the village.

"Oh come on, cheer up Iruka. She's obviously not dieing and managed to get a reputation over the lunch period!" He laughed ruffling my pigtails with a wide grin.

"I did?" I blinked up at the large man

"Look behind you kid." He nudged me to do so and when I did I found a trail of blood red footprints in my wake. "You left a trail of those things all over the village. Chi no ashi (blood foot) is what the civis say. Ha cheesy so we'll have to work on getting you a new one once your a shinobi." (You know unless she makes a habit of walking through the blood of her enemies and walking around a bit before disappearing)

A wide grin spread across my face "cool." Was all I had to say while Iruka walked up behind me.

"Well what about this!" Sensei pointed out as he lifted my bandaged arm up for Pa to see. The blood that had seeped through seemed to have stopped and was now drying on the bandages. "This seriously needs looked at. It could get an infection and she'd loose her arm or-"

Yanking my arm out of his grip , abit painfully I admit, I scowled at his constant chattering of going to the hospital.

"Let me have a look.." Pa said almost boredly as I held out my arm with a scowl and let him unwrap it. "Well , once we get it cleaned up and maybe some alcohol on it," I outwardly hissed at this suggestion but made no other protests as he continued "it should be fine as long as it's kept taken care of and I must admit will make a nice scar to add to your collection..."

"S-scar. Ibiki I understand her others since we could do nothing about those but she's here now and we have medics who can prevent such things."

"Aw what's the fun in that" I complained " besides you gotta admit sensei. It looks pritty cool hu? I mean there isn't any point in getting a injury inflicted by a civilian fixed with ninjutsu right?" Pa snorted at my argument and flung me over his shoulder. Walking out in the opposite direction of the hospital ignoring irukas screams.

Time skip

It didn't take much to convince Pa to take me to the Hokage building. after all I still needed to give him my side of things on this matter, and with how fast these rumors spread best do so now before the civi council start screaming for blood.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took one look at my state and the bloody footprints I was tracking through the building and into his office and began rubbing his temples. "I have a feeling that the shinobi civilian confrontation report that landed on my desk about an hour ago had something to do with this."

"Well technically..." I smirked as irritatingly as I could muster. " No regulation headband so, not a shinobi."

Another exasperated sigh left the old man as he blew a ring of smoke, shuffling around a few papers on his desk " Yes well either way the paper here seems to insist on taking this up to a civilian legal counsel and judge."

" Sorry for the additional paperwork Hokage-sama but just for the record," Pa said amusingly glancing at my crimson trail," despite the more obvious signs of guilt. I'm filing a report claiming this a civilian to child damage report to exploit the fact she has yet to graduate and insure the moron gets his ass handed to him in court."

I scoffed at the idea " Pa it's going to be a civilian council. We are gonna lose anyway."

Said man blinked at me unimpressed " so I'll act as lawyer and glare them into submission. All charges dropped and life moves on"

"Ibiki." Lord Hokage started sternly "please refrain from frightening anyone outside of the ninja corps. It's not good for village relations and trust between those living in it. "

Yes this was a pointless filler chapter but I was to distracted by pointless things to think of something but now I am back in the game and have some ideas for the next chapter so you have something to look forward to
