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...

Where did they go?
Natsumi's heart pounded as she looked up and down the hall in both directions.
There's no one around to ask, and it would take too long to ask around anyway.
She started down the hall and then stopped.
But which way?! I wish I had read that book with Hasu! There might have been a detailed map in there. How should I know where to even start looking?!
She took in a breath and clutched her chest, where her heart beat rapidly.
I have to calm down. I'll never find them at this rate. How can I find them before he does?
Her eyes widened slightly and she blinked, then mumbled under her breath. "One snake recognizes another..."
Of course. I'm such an idiot. Instead of trying to find them, if I focus on trying to find him instead...
She inhaled and exhaled slowly, closing her eyes as she concentrated.
I hate snakes, but if one snake recognizes another... then I'll just have to be a snake right now.
The darkness behind her lids was slowly illuminated by the faint yellow-black glow of Anko in the fighting area, and Natsumi turned until the eerie purple aura appeared in her sight.
I've got you!
Eyes still closed, she took off at a spring down the hall, shifting into smoke to rush through the various rooms in the building for the shortest route. She stopped in front of a heavy door and placed her hand against the smooth stone face.
You can'thide from me.
She hesitated and bit her lip.
What am I going to do? I'm no match for him, but...
She looked down at her palm, where a seal appeared and glowed.
But at least I can get Sasuke away from him if I need to... and Naruto and Hasu, too.

"Sorry for the intrusion, but..." Orochimaru's eyes turned to Sasuke. "I have no business with you, Kakashi. But I do with the boy behind you. I would be grateful if you stepped aside."

Kakashi turned fully toward the Sannin and furrowed his brows. "Why are you after Sasuke?"
"It's fine for you. You already have it, don't you?"
