Book One:
Deep in the Land of Fire, in the Hidden Leaf Village, the hero Naruto Uzumaki lives. But, what if he had a sister?
Enter Natsumi Uzumaki.
She's your typical twin sister- empathetic, responsible, and willing to do whatever it takes to prot...
"Sasuke here at Point B!" Sasuke whispered into his communication device from his position behind a tree.
"Sakura here at Point C!" Sakura whispered.
There was a long pause before Naruto spoke.
"Naruto here. I'm at Point A!"
"You're slow, Naruto!" Kakashi chided quietly from his own hiding place. "Alright, Squad Seven..." He paused. "Hm? The target has moved!"
A dark blur darted away into the trees.
"Follow it!" Kakashi whispered his order and the three Genin carefully converged on the location.
"Alright! It's over there!" Naruto drew closer to the target and peered at it from his new location.
Sakura and Sasuke joined him silently and remained still for a moment.
Kakashi covered his right ear and held the microphone to his mouth with his left. "What's your distance from the target?"
"Five meters. I can go anytime!" Naruto watched the target closely.
"I'm ready, too!" Sasuke said.
"Me, too!" Sakura added and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Okay..." Kakashi muttered, then paused. "Do it!"
The trio jumped out of hiding and Naruto grabbed the brown cat. It yowled and hissed in surprise, scratching at him.
"I got him!" Naruto shouted and held the cat tightly. It scratched at his face, hissing with its hackles raised and its tail puffed.
"Does he have the ribbon on his right ear...?" Kakashi asked. "Are you sure it's our target, Tora?"
"It's the target." Sasuke replied and turned away from the scene as the cat attacked his teammate. "No mistake."
"Alright, the mission to capture the lost pet Tora is complete!" Kakashi straightened and lowered his hand from his ear.
Naruto scowled as Sasuke took hold of the angry animal and he crossed his arms. "Isn't there a mission with a greater sense of urgency?!" He screeched into the microphone, causing an ear-splitting shriek into his teammates ears.

"Ohhh! My cute Tora! I was worried sick about you!" The fat woman rubbed her cheek against the cat as it struggled in her arms and attempted to escape again.

Naruto laughed to his himself and scratched his head as he watched the woman, muttering under his breath. "Serves him right, that stupid cat!"
"No wonder he ran away..." Sakura whispered and scratched her cheek.
"Now, then!" The Hokage held up a piece of paper and addressed the Genin from across the room. "The next mission for Kakashi's Squad Seven is..." He paused as he chewed on the end of his pipe. "An errand to the neighboring town to baby-sit the chief councilor's boy... helping with digging potatoes, eh..."
