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...
"Who would have thought that our next mission would have been this?" Sena smiled faintly and looked around at the tall dunes of the desert around her, nudging Natsumi's side. "It's not often that Leaf Shinobi get to come to the Land of Wind, even with our alliance."

"Not that there's really much here." Aito groaned, lifting his shades slightly to frown at the sand. "It's just one, huge, sandy wasteland. Oh, and it's full of quicksand, pitfalls, and giant insects that are completely dangerous. Don't get me started on the sandstorms, either. And, did I mention all of the sand?!"
He scratched his hair and clothes beneath his cloak furiously, then shook his head quickly. "Ugh! It's so annoying! It gets everywhere and always takes weeks to get off!"
Sena and Natsumi shared a look, then laughed.
"If you hated the desert so much, you didn't have to volunteer to come with us, ya know." Natsumi crossed her arms as a breeze blew sand into her face and knocked back her hood. "We could have gotten someone else as our third."
"Ugh." AIto sighed heavily, slouching forward as he trudged along. "I wish. But, even if I hadn't volunteered, the Captain probably would have assigned me anyway. She's still pissy about my performance on my last mission."
"Plus, out of everyone else on our team, he's the one who's been here the most." Sena whispered and held back a laugh. "So, he didn't have much of a choice anyway."
"Why does it always have to be me that comes to this hellhole?" Aito pouted and whined. "I'm not cut out for this environment. It dries my skin out."
"Now you sound like Ahmya." Natsumi laughed and took a sip of water. "You know, you never did tell us exactly what happened on your last mission. Why is the Captain so mad at you?"
Aito straightened and blinked, laughing sheepishly as he rubbed his head. "A-Ah... well... you know..."
"Nooo, we don't." Sena smiled and tilted her head. "That's why we're asking."
Aito laughed again, trailing off before his head hung in defeat. "...Fine. I'll tell you." He looked between the girls and pointed to them. "But this will not get repeated to anyone else, got it? She promised to skin me alive, turn my body inside-out, burn it, and then seal my soul inside of a used feminine hygiene product if anyone found out."
Natsumi snorted and covered her mouth. "That's... harsh."
"I swear to secrecy." Sena giggled and covered her own mouth. "I swear on my garden."
They looked at her, and she blinked and held her up hands to shrug.
"What? My garden is the thing I value the most, really."
"Weirdo." Aito smiled faintly, then let out a breath. "Okay, here goes..."
He kept his lips shut tight for a while as he walked, then blurted. "I said that we were a married couple when we were undercover!"
