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...
Sunlight streamed through the window and Naruto sat upright, yawning and stretching. He slouched forward with his eyes still closed, then rubbed them as he looked around his room at the books and scrolls he'd left on the floor. He looked over to Natsumi's neatly made bed and sighed.
"She's already gone again..."
He stretched a second time and slid out of bed, scratching his backside as he walked to the kitchen where he began to get his breakfast ready. He slowly chewed on a piece of toast when he reached out for the carton of milk and held it up to his ear. He shook it and sighed as the curdled chunks sloshed around. He set the carton back down and continued to eat his toast in disappointment.

He stood to dump the milk down the sink after he finished eating, then looked over at the fridge where a note had been stuck. He blinked and squinted at it as he read it.
Naruto,
Sorry to have to leave so early again.
I'll see you later tonight.
Don't drink the milk. You let it go bad.
I'll pick up some more on my way home.
He made a face and lowered his hand with a sigh.
"Too bad I didn't see this first."
He held it up again, noticing smaller writing on the bottom.
PS- clean up your own mess
Naruto made a face and crossed his arms. "It's only morning and she's already nagging."
He stood in place for a moment, pursing his lips before he narrowed his eyes at the mess on the table. After a moment, he cleaned it off quickly with a huff as he muttered.
"I only did it because I wanted to and that's it."
Naruto turned and marched into the bathroom, showering and dressing before stepping out of the apartment and locking the door. Reaching up, he tightened the knot of his headband and smiled.
"Here we go!" He stretched in various positions, then ran off quickly with a slight smirk. "I'm gonna take care of my duties with gusto again today!"
He ran faster toward Team Seven's usual meeting spot and laughed to himself. "Woah! Mach five!"

Sakura and Sasuke stood on the bridge as they waited; Sasuke leaned against the railing in silence as Sakura looked around impatiently for the other members of their team with her arms crossed. She closed her eyes for a moment to let out a breath, then opened them and turned as Naruto ran over.
