The Little Senju (Little Senju Series Book One): A Naruto Fanfiction

The Little Senju and a Trip

Izumi's POV

"Why am I training with you again?" I smirked as my kunai clashed with Sasuke's with a loud clink, "You'd think I'd train with someone who's actually better than me!" A shiver suddenly raked through my body without reason causing the ravenette to overpower me. I quickly flipped backwards in time to prevent the boy from cutting me with his blade, Why do I have such a bad feeling...? I thought panting for breath as I brushed off the sleeves of my jean jacket, I must be imagining things... Everything's fine now! I reassured myself as I created a katana with a single hand sign.

"You know I'm a challenge..." the Uchiha teased as I sent him skidding backwards with a slash of my katana, "Somethings wrong..." he noted putting away his kunai before standing up straight, "I never overpower you this easily..."

"It's nothing!" I shook my head before readying my sword in from of me, "I just had a bad feeling all of a sudden, but it's gone now."

"I think now's a good time to take a break." Sasuke put in sending a glance into the clear, blue sky, "If you have a bad feeling then something is definitely up." our eyes focused on the bird that was circulating in the sky, "You see."

"I don't think that's related..." I allowed my sword to turn to dust, "You are right though." I nodded before stretching my arms over my head, "I could use a break. See ya later!" I made a quick hand sign and poofed away, "I think you should be meeting up with Kakashi Sensei, right?" my voice radiated long after I was already gone.

He's right... Though I hate to admit it. I thought standing atop one of the taller buildings near the center of the village, Nothing good can come of that feeling... I made a quick surveillance of the village, but nothing out of the ordinary caught my eye. Assuming that I had indeed been overreacting I made my way to a certain blond.

"Is there any reason why your not wearing clothes?" I smacked a hand to my face as I stood in front of the ramen shop unsure why I had thought that seeing Naruto would be good for my mental health, "If you're looking for your coupon you put it behind your headband..." I pointed weakly.

"How did you know?" the blond questioned pulling out the coupon before putting his clothes back on, "Either way you're a real life saver!"

"Earlier you said you were going to put it behind your headband, so you wouldn't lose it. How forgetful are you...?" I sighed sitting next to him.

"Can I get you anything?" the old man who owned the shop asked me, "Since you're friends with Naruto I'll give you a bowl for free!"

"No, thank you!" I smiled gratefully and watched as Naruto wolfed down his food, "I wouldn't mind a glass of water though."

"Coming right up!" the man grinned happy to be of service, "Come on in!" he insisted to a white-haired man that stood just out side the ramen shop.

"I had to see it with my own eyes!" Pervert-Chan chuckled, "You really do eat nothing, but ramen." Naruto and I stared at him.

"Hmm?"

"Pervert-Chan!"

. . .

"What no way!" Naruto cried as we walked alongside the older man, "How come we get stuck tagging along with you, while you do research for another of your pervy books!" I remained silent as a wide grin appeared on Pervert-Chan's face.

"Look kid I can assure you this isn't just another research trip... There's a woman I have to find!" he closed one eye, while holding up a single finger for effect, "A very remarkable woman!"

"Well count me out old man!" Naruto refused, "I don't have time to help you find a girlfriend!" he didn't let up as I wondered who the woman in question could be. It couldn't be the woman I was thinking of, could it? "I've got to get busy with my training!!!"

"What training?"

"It's time Kakashi Sensei taught me something new like that Chidori thing!" he placed his hands behind his head before glaring off to the left.

"I see..." Pervert-Chan thought for a moment, "You'd just be wasting your time. The Chidori isn't really your style." the blond seemed unconvinced causing the white-haired man to bite his lip nervously, "And besides that kid..." he had a new idea, "The woman we're looking for is really beautiful! I mean gorgeous!" no response, "Okay suit yourself..." he groaned turning away from his student, "And I could've taught you jutsu that made Chidori look like kid's stuff..."

"You're not going to make me go alone with that weirdo are you?" I questioned giving my friend large, puppy-dog eyes, "But, if you don't want to..." I sighed sadly as I followed after the pervy sannin.

Naruto's ear twitched at our comments, "Oh well... I'll just see if Sasuke wants to go..."

"Sasuke would never leave me alone with such a strange old man..."

"Right, when do we leave?!?" Naruto inquired dashing in front of us, while clenching his fists, "I'll go pack my bag! Stay right there Pervy Sage! Don't move!!!"

Pervert-Chan stood dumbfounded for a moment, "What a knucklehead!" he laughed scratching his head at the blond's over excitement, "Still you can't help liking him!"

"You've got that right!"I was finally smiling as I too left to pack my bag.

Naruto's POV

"Hah aha!" I chuckled as I packed my bag with all the things I would need for the trip along with a few goodies, "I'm going to learn a new jutsu!" I enthused continuing my task, "Maybe now I'll finally get Sakura's attention!"

"Is that all your worried about?" Izumi questioned as she perched on my window sill, "How long does it take to pack one bag?" she slipped inside and leaned up against the wall with a look that was impossible to read, "I left after you did and I'm already packed and ready to go."

"How did you know where I live?!?" I nearly had a heart attack at her unexpected appearance, "You're as bad as Sasuke..." I muttered quietly hoping she wouldn't hear that part. For some reason even the mention of Sasuke was a bad idea with her, "Besides, I'm ready now, so we just have to find Pervy-Sage!"

"You don't want me to answer that..." she sighed leaping back onto the window sill, "And never compare me to that pompous bastard again, got that?" she smirked as a shiver ran down my spine, "Let's go!"

"We could use the door, ya know..."

"That'll take too long..." I saw a flash of blue hair as she leapt down to the ground gracefully, "Meet me at the gates with Pervert-Chan, okay?"

Whoop, I turned in my paper so I'm done with classes until August. It's so nice not to have that stress now! I also had an idea of writing a joke chapter that's a training chapter between Sasuke and Izumi because I think it could be funny... Let me know if anyone would like to see that... If so I might actually try to write it. Anyway, until next time!
