Sato Sayaka, age thirteen, is assigned to learn the Rasengan from Namikaze Minato, the sensei of Nohara Rin, Uchiha Obito, and Hatake Kakashi. Obito is thrilled to have her on the team. Rin is glad that there's another girl to even things out. Meanwhile, Kakashi is angry to get her attention because she doesn't notice him at all, aside from being a teammate. With that in mind, Sayaka doesn't really like Kakashi because of his cocky attitude, although she is quite so cocky herself. And fan girls? I don't think Sayaka has that in her vocabulary. And a vow never to fall in love but only to strive to become the best?

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO. Tomiko Kobayashi was forced to leave her dead clan with a mysterious stone when a man named Yosuke Takeo invaded her land. He killed everyone but her.

He took a step closer to her and put a finger on her chin, lifting her face to his. A light blush creeped onto her cheeks after she saw how intensely he was looking at her, his eye moved from her delicate lips to her thin nose and rested on her blue eyes which were giving him a piercing stare. That static was back, the crackling in the air tingled through his finger tips as he held her more firmly. "...Your eyes," He whispered ever so lightly, sending her blush to another level. "They're so beautiful." -
