Author: well, what can I say, it's not as large as the story I'm currently working on, but it's better then nothing. This story itself is an experiment, to test the Naruto x Tsunami pairing. If I get enough good feed back, I may continue this story, if not, then I have others to focus on XD.

Something's you should know, first. One is that this is AU, very deeply so. I don't want anyone yelling about how "That shouldn't have happened." Or " That's not how it's supposed to go." To be honest, I don't give a damn and break the basic set up of things that are done in Naruto stories on a weekly basis. If you enjoy it, review if you want, if you don't, no one's forcing you to read. I hope that I'll be able to produce a great story from this, should I get enough good feed back for it anyway...

Let's hope so...even if I'm still working on the plot for the story, I have the basic's down in my mind. Sorry if it's not that long, but I wasn't able to come up with much for the beginning...hehe...

disclaimer: I do not own naruto

enjoy the fic.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The six great villages, once the most powerful nations, where destroyed by they're own rivalry in the great war. Many, both citizens and shinobi, lost they're lives, they're future's taken by the greed and lust for power. The legends among the shinobi's, those who were said to have conquered the mightiest of villages, vanished without a trace. With all six of the great villages gone, the survivors scattered, hoping to escape from the world that they once knew...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Looks like it's going to be another one fo those days..." The woman stated, sitting up on her bed and looking out the window. Yeah, the sky was just like yesterdays sky, full of nothing but dark clouds and the occasional thunderstorm. It was really not so bad after you got used to it, though she did miss the sun. To think, it had been three years since she had seen it. Getting up from the bed, the woman went towards her wardrobe and picked out a few piece's of clothing. Considering that all she had was a few piece's of clothing, it wasn't all that difficult to pick them. Taking the clothing, she left her somewhat barren room and went towards the bathroom, entering and closing the door behind her.

Around fifteen minutes later, the woman stepped out of it, changed and carrying her black nightgown. Returning to her room, she placed the gown onto her dresser and looked in the mirror.

A simple outfit, being a low cut strap purple shirt and a long dark blue skirt that almost reached her ankles. It wasn't much, but it showed her feminine curves and body quite well. Reaching for something on the dresser, she picked up a neckless and tied it around her neck.. The neckless itself having a small green crystal tied to it. Lifting the crystal up slightly, she smiled at it for a few seconds, before letting it drop back to hanging in place and moving over towards the bed to get her sandles on ( I know a lot of you probably want her to wear high heels, but... no). Once on, she left the room, going down the stairs, and made her way towards the kitchen.

Opening a cabinet, she took out an apron and pan. Placing it on the stove, she turned it on and went to go look for some ingredients in the 'fridge'. Bending down slightly, she opened it and looked inside, nothing out of the ordinary, little to nothing to use to make breakfast. Taking what little she could spare, the woman went over towards the stove and begin to cook breakfast.

" Good morning, Tsunami" The woman looked over towards the old man that was coming down the stairs, who seemed to have just gotten up.

" Good morning, father." Tsunami said, turning back towards the meal she was making. " It'll be done in a few minutes, so please take a seat at the table." You really didn't have to tell the old man twice, having not spent seven seconds to quickly sit at the table and await the meal. In around ten minutes, it was finally done, Tsunami placing a plate in front of her father, Said person began to eat as soon as he received the plate, though he took a second to thank her. Sitting done, she began to eat as well.

" You really shouldn't eat so fast." Tsunami stated, the old man looking up from his meal.

" Well, I have a meeting early this morning, so I need to rush." The man stated, Tsunami leaning forward towards her father.

"It's rare to have one this early in the morning, what are you going to be discussing?"

" Increasing military training." Tsunami sat back in her chair and continued to eat, the old man raising his eyebrow. " Not interested?"

" None what so ever, we already have enough people guarding the village as it is." Tsunami stated, thinking about it. " Ever since shinobi training became common knowledge, even to those that do not attend a academy, the village should be able to take care of itself."

" Against petty thieves and gangs, yes." The man stated, sighing. " but against true shinobi, we would be slaughtered."

" I already told you th- hold on." The person who tried to enter the room through the window froze, a kunai just barely hitting him and taking an ear off. Tsunami glared at the wannabe shinobi, flicking her wrist and having a whole set of kunai ready to throw at the man appear in her hand. " I suggest you leave before you lose something permanently, we're in the middle of a meal." The shinobi slowly backed out of the window, having yet to notice that he had pissed his pants. Satisfied, Tsunami turned back around and scooted her seat back to where it was. She then looked at her father, who could only blink at the scene.

" I'd say low level chuunin." Tsunami stated, starting to eat her meal again. The old man just shook his head.

" I wish you didn't have to do that..."

" Don't we all." Tsunami replied, looking up at the clock in the room. " Didn't you say you had a meeting?" The man looked up at the clock as well, his eyes widening at the time. Quickly getting up from his seat, he took his plate over toward the garbage can, cleaning it, he paretically tossed it into the sink and made a run for the door. Grabbing his coat, he turned towards Tsunami as he tried to get it on, said person watching him in amusement.

"I won't be getting back until later tonight, so please eat dinner without me. I'll see you...eventually." he stated, running out of the door when he finally got his coat on. Tsunami just stared at the door for a few seconds once her father was gone, getting up and taking her plate towards the sink, having finished everything that was on her plate Checking the plate her father had used, she was relieved that it had no cracks in it/ slash was not broke in the slightest bit. She had to wondered how he managed to do that, even with the slight training he had gone through. Looking up at the clock, she wondered about what she could do for her day off...I mean

There were endless possibilities, after all.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been a good day so far, no one had tried to hit on her, she managed to get some groceries at a reasonable price, and it had not rained at all today. Yes, this day was truly great for Tsunami, though she had to wonder when it was going to end. She was currently walking down the road in the village, various people going about they're business. The economy itself remained stable after the construction of the bridge, and the village was even able to make some what of a military force. A group of people given as much shinobi training as the village could provide, having them stationed through out the village. Yes, shinobi knowledge had become basic to even civilians now a days, but they couldn't do much of anything above basic. Medium to higher level jutsu's where still hard to come by.

" To think, the once great shinobi reduced to a simple police force." Tsunami stated, taking a turn at the fork and continuing her way down the road, now walking near a river. You see, the world of shinobi had become nothing more then police guarding cities and villages., now that the knowledge had become available without the use of academies anyway. They where commonly seen working for police and government officials in most to all populated areas now, no longer doing something like missions. Well, the average shinobi anyway, now the true shinobi...

" Hm?" Tsunami broke her train of thought, seeing someone laying on the river edge, apparently asleep. It was..strange, to be honest, and right out in the open too, for all thieves, pickpockets, (ect) to kill and take whatever they could from him. She couldn't see his face, no, he was wearing a large fishermen hat, along with a orange book covering it. He was also wearing a white shirt and a vest of sorts. The man was wearing pants, several bags attached to it, his fishing rod right besides him. He was apparently waiting for a catch, if that was even possible with these waters. On the opposite side of him was a large brown jacket, something wrapped up in it. Approaching the man, she intended to wake him up and tell him to return home before he was mugged by someone.

That was until she hear something "bahhhhhhhhhhh"

Startled, the woman pulled out a kunai and looked over towards the jacket. What had been wrapped in it was reveled to be a...sheep? Yes, now glaring at her was a pure white coated sheep, a small bell hanged down from the color around it's neck. The sheep 'bahhed' at her again, Tsunami wondered what it was trying to do.

" Relax, Savion won't bite, he's the sheep that seems to only know how to eat, sleep, and crap." The man stated, looking over at Tsunami. He tilted his hat up slightly, unable to see her face, but most of her anyway. Tsunami was able to see the mans face, but unfortunately it was covered by a scarf. The sheep 'bahhed', jumping out of the coat and playfully ramming into it's master. The man just ignored it and continued to scan over the woman. " Though, I'm impressed you we're able to see me..."

" It's kinda hard not to see someone when they're sleeping out in the open like this." Tsunami stated, the man laughing and scanning over her body once more. The man smirked, Tsunami in turn glaring at him. " You really shouldn't be sleeping out in the open, what if you were attacked?"

" I guess we won't know until it actually happens, right?" The man stated, setting Savion down and standing up. Grabbing his coat, he dusted it off for anything that might have decided to enter it while it was laying on the ground, before putting it on. Grabbing his fishing rod, he looked down at Savion, who happily 'bahhed' and walked over towards him. Turning his attention towards Tsunami, he lifted one fo his hands towards his hat.

" I think it's about time I left and found a new spot, if you've excuse me miss..." With that, the man lifted his hat slightly, and tipped it towards her. Making his way down the road with the sheep happily following along. Tsunami, who was taken back by the eyes of the man, just stood there and watched him leave. Shaking her head, she made her way back towards her house, not wanting to have something like this happen again today.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The man smiled a bit, looking up at the bright starry sky, thinking about the neckless around the woman's neck. Wow, it brought back memories for him. Maybe, just maybe, he would go visit her. It had been so long since he had seen his favorite student, might as well say hello while in the village. To think, though, he had wondered into the land of the wave, of all places.

" You've grown a bit better, Tsunami-chan." The man stated, looking down at the sheep. " Hey Savion, feel up to seeing a friend of mine?" The sheep wagged it's little tail in response, having no clue what it's master was saying but still happy to see it's master smile for once. Whistling a light tune, the man made his way from the road and into an alleyway. Who knew what you could find in the alleyway at night, even possibly some mindless gang that wants to mug him. That would be amusing, to an extent, for him.

The little sheep stayed close to it's master, apparently taken off by the sudden change in route. The man just looked down at the sheep, smiling at it. Savion just let out a small whimper, not knowing about what the man had planned. The man himself continued to whistle a happy tune, waiting for the people who had been watching them for the past few minutes to make they're move. Walking down the alleyway, Naruto came to a fork, unable to decide which one to chose. Either the happy go luck, clean route that was probably the safest choice, or the unclean, garbage everywhere one with a few cats walking around it, looking through said garbage for they're meal.

Choices, choices, ether way he'd be jumped, though.

Seeing at how Savion was reacting negatively towards the cats, the man made his way down the cleaner route. Besides, he didn't want to be walking through garbage, now would he? The sheep, after glaring at the cats, which where hissing at it mind you, he ran after his master and walked beside him once more. The man wondered if the brats where ever going to jump him, hell, he might actually make it to the end of the alleyway before they decided to strike. He could try to set them off, but what fun would that be?

Stopping for a moment, the man sighed, his sheep looking up at him curiously. He really didn't want to spend all night waiting for them, but he didn't want to start it. Maybe if he gave them a little more time, they would go ahead with it. Noticing how the shadows where moving, he took note that it wouldn't be long until they did strike. Taking in a deep breath, he looked down at his sheep.

" Well, shall we be on our way?" He asked, looking back forward. Not one step forward, and a kunai was launched at him. The man grabbed his hat, lowering it slight as the kunai breezed past him, barely scratching his cheek. He smiled, looking up at the now descending group of 'Shinobi'. " Let me guess, drop all my valuables and I don't get hurt, right?"

" Everything you have." The 'Shinobi' stated, the other two preparing they're weapons. " And the sheep." the man's smile brightened a bit.

" Oh, you guy's are so by the book. Why not be a little more creative with trying to mug me?" The man replied, looking around the alleyway. " Though, you do get points for taking care of this place, cleanest back alley I 've ever seen..."

" Shut up and just give us what you own." The Shinobi said, taking out his very long katana. " We don't have time to be dealing with you all night.." The other two beginning to slowly advance on the man, who just seemed to be enjoying this.

" Well, in that case, let me tell you something..." The Shinobi's looked in shock at how the man disappeared from they're sights. The sheep just sat down and continued to wag it's tail playfully, apparently not phased by the mans speed. " They used to call me The Legendary Spiral during the war..." The shinobi's eyes widened in fear, slowly turning to face the man. The man looked over his shoulder at them, his piercing blue eyes seeming burning through theirs and into they're very soul.

" Take that name to your graves..."

And so, the slaughter began...
