Flashback

(Scene Break)

Haku, Raja, and Naruto also known as Team 11 were sitting in a booth in one of the famous BQ restaurants of the Akimichi clan, near the entrance. They were enjoying their lunch as they had the day off. They just returned yesterday from a two week long mission in Wave Country. It was another C turned A –rank mission where they had to battle a missing Nin from Iwa and saved Wave Country from a midget named Gato. And Naruto got a bridge named after him for saving the country. Their total missions so far are 15 D –rank (all consisted of catching that demon cat, Tora), 20 C –rank (either it was an escort or delivering messages to different countries), 5 B –rank (killing bandits), 4 A –rank (taking care of annoying low rank missing Nins) and 0 S –rank.

Suddenly, Tora jumped onto the ground and caught Raja's attention.

"Hey Tora, come over here," Raja whispered loud enough to catch the cat's attention. "We will hide you."

It didn't even take a moment for Tora to decide what to do, before she hid herself between Raja and Haku. Raja handed the cat a small rib on a napkin for Tora to eat.

Not even a second later, members of Team7 jumped down from the roof, looking in every direction for Tora. They looked like they had been through hell. Dirt, leaves, and twigs covered them, making them look like they haven't taken a bath or a shower in weeks. They were also panting and ready to drop dead at any given moment… well, maybe except for Sai, the ROOT agent.

"Where did that blasted demon cat go to now!?" The pink haired banshee screeched. Even at a distance, her screeching was hurting the ears of Team 11.

"I don't know, ugly," Sai responded with a fake smile on his face, only to receive a fist to his head.

"BAKA!" Even if it was possible, the banshee's screeching got even louder.

"Enough, we still need to find the cat before we can finish this mission," Sasuke Uchiha also known as Duckass interrupted them with an annoyed expression on his face.

It was like someone had flipped the switch inside of Sakura's head, because the next moment, Sakura became nice and sweet and innocent as she acted like he just asked her out on a date. Within the next minute, they were gone in search for Tora somewhere else.

Turning back to her own plate of food, Bobby noticed out of the corner of her eyes that both Haku and Naruto were staring at her with no emotion on their faces.

"What?" Raja asked curiously. She didn't have a clue to why they would be staring at her like that.

Both Haku and Naruto shook their heads as Haku spoke up, "That was just cruel, what you just did right now."

Raja shook her negatively as Tom spoke up, "What would be cruel is to trap them in a genjutsu that has Tora a few feet in front of them and yet they can never catch the cat."

Raja's side added, "Besides Duckass and Banshee need the exercise, they are still weak. But Tom, we need to do that genjutsu sometime. It sounds like fun!"

Right was the influence of her older sister, Anko, coming out. Haku and Naruto exchanged looks as Raja and Tom continued to talk among themselves. Naruto remembered when he first met Raja and Tom in the local neighborhood park that was near the academy.

Flashback

Naruto just sat on the swing, watching the parents played with their kids with a sad expression on his face. He wished that his parents were alive, so they, too, could play together in the park. Or maybe, he could have at least one friend to play with. Naruto tried to play with the other children, but he was always chased away by their parents, who in turn tells their children to stay away from him as he was a very bad boy.

Suddenly, a shadow covered him, causing him to look up. In front of him was the strangest looking girl that he ever did see. Half of her was dark with an emerald green eye and the other half was light with a piercing red eye. She looked like one of these yin –yang things that Hokage –jiji told him about a while back.

"Hi, what is your name?" The girl even talked funny. It was like there were two people sharing the same body.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the future Hokage!" Naruto declared proudly and excitedly, causing the parents to turn and glare at him, but he took no notice of that as he was focused on the girl in front of him.

The girl grinned as she introduced herself, "I'm Raja Mitarashi and the white side is Tom. Its nice to meet you. We are going to be your right hand man or in this case woman. Want to be friends?"

Naruto grinned excitedly as he was happy that someone else accepted his dream and goal in life without making fun of him like people normally do. And the best part was that they wanted to be friends with him.

End of Flashback

Naruto was brought out of his thoughts when Haku asked Raja "Did you two ever finished that Jutsu that you guys were working on recently?"

Raja nodded as she answered happily, "We just finished it last night before going to bed."

"Good," Haku said as he smiled. Both Naruto and Haku knew that their friend/ teammate/ sibling had a hobby of creating new Justus whenever she had time. So far, Raja and Tom had created at least one other Jutsu.

Suddenly, Naruto remembered something that he had overheard, "Hey guys, did you know that in two months Konoha is hosting he chunin exams?"

Both Haku and Raja looked surprised at the piece of news. It seemed that Naruto had been spying on the Hokage, again, while in the air ducts.

"Who's coming?" Raja asked curiously, wondering if Naruto got that information as well.

Naruto nodded as he repeated what he had overheard, "A couple of teams from Kumo, Kiri, Taki, and Ame. Suna, Oto, and Kusa each are just sending one team."

"Wow, that's going to bring a lot of genin teams here to Konoha, then," Haku said in slight awe.

Raja nodded, before asking, "I never heard of Oto before. Is it a new hidden village that was just created?"

Naruto had become their informant and their spy Master when he accidentally came up with that Jutsu that causes invisibility and hides the user's Chakra, no matter how much Chakra that said person has. coughNarutocough.

Naruto answered, "Yeah, its new alright. Its called the Hidden Village in the Sound, Otogakure. Apparently, its located somewhere in Rice Country."

Raja stiffened when she heard that piece of news. She whispered to them, "We have to watch out for them then. Anko –nee –chan told us that there are rumors that Orochimaru started his own hidden village in Rice Country."

Both Haku and Naruto paled in fear. It was agreed that they should stay away and warn Team 9 of that as well. And also keep an eye on the Oto team that come for the chunin exams. And knowing Zabuza –sensei, he would have them on gate duty soon as possible, so they scope out the competing teams.
