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...
Naruto swallowed and they nodded to each other. "Alright then, let's open them now."
Sakura and Naruto slowly unrolled the scroll, millimeter by millimeter, until finally opening it completely in a single, fluid motion as Sasuke watched carefully. Their eyes widened at the seals and Naruto squinted and leaned closer to look.

"Huh? What's this?"
"A man? A person?" Sakura blinked and read the kanji within the seal.
Sasuke's eyes widened further when the kanji bubbled and swelled, then emitted smoke. "This is... a Summoning Jutsu!" He stepped back. "Naruto! Sakura! Drop the scrolls, quickly!"
"Huh?"
"Right!"
They tossed the scrolls across the room and the smoke continued to billow out and fill the area. As it cleared, a figure could be seen through the cloud and they narrowed their eyes to see.
"W-What?!" Naruto's eyes widened and the corners of his gaping mouth lifted in a small smile.
"Y-You...?" Sasuke blinked in recognition and Sakura stared.
"I-Iruka-sensei?!"
"Hello, you three." Iruka's eyes opened up and he smiled at them and crossed his arms. "It's been a long time."

"What's going on?" Sakura stepped forward and asked.
"Judging by your appearance, you guys have had a rough time, right?"
"What?!" Naruto shook his head quickly. "Why did you get summoned when we opened the scrolls, ya know?"
"At the end of this second part of the exam, we Chunin are to welcome the test-takers. I just happened to be given the important task of being the messenger for you guys." He walked towards them several steps and Sakura blinked.
"Messenger?" She repeated.
Iruka reached into his pocket to take out a pocket watch and flipped it open to look at the time before sighing. "Just in time." He closed the watch and then smiled at them. "Listen up, everyone. Congratulations on making it through the second stage of the Chunin Exam."
