The Uchiha (Itachi Twin Sister// Naruto Fan-fiction)

Chapter 28 [Courage]

Itsuko POV
It's been three years since Naruto been back in the village. About two years since I seen him. For the few days, Tsunade has been keeping me off from missions again. She said Naruto was going to be back soon and she wanted me to test them after Kakashi does, just like back when they just became genin.

She closed me in her office for the whole day. She was very convinced that Jiraiya and Naruto were going to return today. She wanted me to be there when they arrive.

I glared at Jiraiya, sitting down on the floor, crossing my leg. "What took you so long? I had to be closed here the whole day!"

"You could've just teleported away. Admit it, you want to see him again." Jiraiya laughed, jumping in from the outside window, sitting on the window.

I laughed sarcastically before continued glaring at him as Tsunade talked to him. Naruto and Sakura entered the office not so long after.

Naruto bursted in, excited as usual. He was the same. But he was taller and his face looked more mature. His clothes were, new. I won't say I like it, but it does fit him.

"Itsuko sensei!" Naruto and Sakura chorused upon seeing me. I don't know why it took them so long.

It's also been awhile since I seen Sakura. I've been on missions and haven't really been in the village until recently.

Tsunade started explaining to them about their opponent before Kakashi made his entrance, standing on the roof outside.

Opening the window, Naruto jumped outside. "Kakashi sensei!"

He handed a book over to Kakashi, he said it was a present. I recognised it by it's cover. Another series of the Icha Icha Paradise. The worst series of book published by worst writer alive.

"Does that mean you're my opponent Kakashi sensei?" Naruto asked, his face showing sudden realization.

"Not quite." Kakashi said, not looking up. He already started on reading his book.

"I'm your first opponent." I spoke, after a long time of silence, my existence probably being forgotten. The test they were going to go through wouldn't be just any test. It was also different from the one we did when they were newly genin. With their current ability, it probably wouldn't be hard if it were to be just landing one attack on me. If I still had my hands tied like last time that is. But this time, I've got something else planned for them and it's going to be competitive.

"Right. I'm after her. You're facing two opponents. Well, see you later!" Kakashi teleported off, his tone showing much excitement. In reading his book I suppose. It is Kakashi we're talking about here.

"Let's head over to the forest. I'll explain more when we arrive. Oh but first one there gets a head start for the test." I smirked, opening the window before jumping off. From the edge of my eye, I saw Naruto and Sakura follow after me. I leaped from buildings to buildings. They were far behind but they eventually arrived at the forest, taking the route I took. They were panting and tired. I would admit, they wouldn't have made it here taking that route if they were still as weak as they were. I specifically took the more challenging route.

"The test is like a competition. We take turns showing each other what we have on our sleeves. Every surviving turn, you'll get to ask a question about anything while I get to ask you one too. Shizune will keep count, questions will be asked after we have a loser. Now, I arrived first, so I'll start." I said. Naruto and Sakura nodded, standing in front of me. They grew so much.

"Fire Style: Fireball jutsu." I said, making the hand signs before sending a giant fireball in the air in front of me.

Naruto raised an eye brow, a smirked emerging on his face. "I can do much better than that!"
