Chapter 1 - When Purple meets Yellow

I DID NOT STEAL THIS FANFIC, DGJ IS LETTING ME TAKE IT OVER!

(AU) They always knew Naruto Uzumaki as the idiot or the dobe, what if a change in his life and a meeting with a certain ANBU helped change his life for the better? Yugao Uzuki has been suffering from the loss of her boyfriend, and cut people out of her life for the better, what if she met a young blonde who helped her heal her heart?

Author's note: Our first collab hope you all like it, reviews are always welcomed and appreciated. Naruto will be 13 while Yugao is 18 so the age difference isn't too bad, we don't own Naruto and if we did he'd actually be stronger and serious. Slightly OOC Naruto and Yugao.

When Purple meets Yellow

He felt numbness, as if his whole being had shattered. Not the attacks on his life, the hate, hell not even two Chidori's through the chest could make him feel like this.

No, this was much, much worse. He's changed enemies' hearts in battle, he's made friends of enemies, but he didn't even know if he could fix his own heart at the moment, himself.

It was ironic. The one who always tried to comfort everyone, now needed comfort, but no one was there. Not a single friend had visited him in the hospital.

The girl he's always loved. The one he's consistently put ahead of himself, her values over his… had just shattered his heart, his world.

Over a traitor…

FLASHBACK

"No wonder your parents left you! Who would want to have an annoying child like you? I don't want to see you anymore!" Sakura yelled out making Naruto flinch.

"Sakura I tried to bri-" Naruto was cut off by a hard slap across his face. This shocked him, Sakura had never slapped him. Sure she would punch him across a clearing but a slap? Nope, never.

"Don't you dare say anything, you didn't try to bring back Sasuke-kun, you were just jealous about how strong he was and you're weak, you'll always be weak compared to him!" Sakura shouted while walking out of the room and slamming the door shut.

"I tried..." Naruto whispers more to himself while looking down at his bandaged arms. Fighting down a stream of tears.

FLASHBACK END

WITH NARUTO

As he walked through the village not paying attention to his destination or surroundings the young blonde bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry for bumping into you." Naruto immediately said knowing the person would make a scene about this and try to get him arrested or banished for 'assaulting' them. He's been in that situation too many times to count…

"It's alright kid I should've been watching where I was going." A nice, soft and tender voice replied. One he didn't expect. Normally he'd be getting his ears shouted off of his head.

Naruto looked up and saw the person extending a hand out to help him up. He grasped it. It felt warm and feminine. Unlike a man's rough hands her's were soft.

"Uhm thanks I think?" Naruto half asked half questioned. Naruto looked up at the person helping him up and was shocked by her beauty. She was a young woman with long lavender hair, brown eyes, and a tattoo on her arm. She looked like a powerful kunoichi who demanded respect, her sword was seen strapped to her back along with armor on her arms, legs and chest.

"S-sorry, Kunoichi-san." Naruto blurted out while bowing down hoping she'd forgive him. He couldn't help but feel stupid for not paying attention to his surroundings and now he bumped into this Kunoichi who screamed 'respect me' or 'die'.

"Naruto-san I said it was fine, and don't bow to me it makes me feel like a stuck up noble." She giggled at the young blonde in front of her. She knew who this boy was and she didn't hate him or despise him, in fact she greatly respected him for holding back the Kyūbi.

"How do you know my name? I've never met you before and if I did I would know someone with purple hair since it's an exotic color." Naruto said with a hint of caution in his voice. It wasn't that he was scared it's just he didn't trust anyone, he tried trusting someone when he was younger and he regretted that mistake.

"Well who doesn't know the Prankster King from Hell, also you're quite popular around some of us Shinobi for stopping the Ichibi Jinchüriki from destroying half the village. If it wasn't for you more than half the village would've been destroyed." She said giving him a warm gentle smile with a voice full of honesty.

"Oh yeah, hehe those pranks were funny." Naruto chuckled out while rubbing the back of his head and giving the Kunoichi in front of him a fake smile, he finally realized what she said about Gaara.

"Wait how do you know about that fight? It's yes not public knowledge and only the people in that fight know what happened." Naruto questioned while being back on guard.

"Let's just say that I have the proper clearance Naruto-san, besides you probably don't remember me without my mask anyways." She said while smiling at him again. Secretly she was hurting she didn't want him to see that so she decided to put up a fake mask.

What she didn't realize was that he was doing the same thing...

Naruto looked at her closely trying to figure out who she was, the hair looked familiar for some reason but he couldn't put his mind on it. He tried to envision her with a mask and that's when it clicked. "Neko."

"From the look on your face you seem to remember me, since I can't have you calling me by that name you can call me Yugao Uzuki." She replied with a smile on her face, she looked him over and noticed a few things were different from his usual self.

For one he wasn't wearing that god awful orange jumpsuit that screamed 'here I am come kill me' she noticed he was wearing a black shirt with black anbu style pants and black steel toed combat boots. His Hitai-ate wrapped around his neck and but the one thing that stood out the most was a green chunin vest.

"Ah hello Yugao-san, it's an honor to meet you face to face now." Naruto chuckled while giving her his famed foxy smile that would make any girl blush if they didn't hate him. He knew he felt weird in the new clothes that Tsunade had gotten him and when she told him that Jiraiya had burned all of his jumpsuits he had shed a single tear but he was happy that she told him that she had bought him new clothes.

"So how does it feel to be a newly minted Chunin Naruto-san?" She asked him knowing that he deserved his promotion. He had basically saved the village from a rampaging Bijū and if that didn't get him promoted then she wouldn't know what would, "Sensei you would've been proud of him." Yugao thought to herself with a smile on her face.

"It's weird and the vest feels weird it's why I'm keeping it open, every time I zip it up it feels to stiff for me to move around and it makes me feel uncomfortable." Naruto said while smiling at the ANBU in front of him. He kept playing with the zipper uncomfortably while trying to avoid direct eye contact.

"So what are you up to today Naruto-san? You seem to be distracted and that's not usually you?" She questioned him trying to figure out what was wrong with the young blonde in front of her, she knew he wore a mask to hide the loneliness and hurt from everyone. On more than one occasion she heard the young blonde cry himself to sleep when he was young and it pained her to see that.

"Oh I was going to buy some groceries, and was trying to make a list and figure out where I was going to go. Everyone seems to overcharge me three times the price even if the food is expired it's kinda frustrating." He lies hoping she'd buy his lie.

"Hmm well we can't have that now can we Naruto-san, how about this I'll make you a deal. I take you grocery shopping and make sure that you get everything fifty percent off, but you have to take up Kenjutsu." She told him while looking at his shocked face.

Someone wanted to help him, HIM, he couldn't believe it he was shocked, speechless hell she said that she'd get everything fifty percent off and all he had to do was take up Kenjutsu. This deal was to good to pass up, no idiot would pass this deal up.

"You have a deal Yugao-san, but may I ask how will you get my grocery list half off?" He asked curiously while following her to the grocery store.

"That's a trade secret Naruto-san." She smiled while taking him to her favorite grocery store, the store itself was meant for ninjas it had food that provided the right amount of nutrients, fats, sugars, and calories. She didn't have to tell him that her friend owned the store, she'd get him to eat something else besides ramen and he'd learn Kenjutsu, plus he'd have a store to go to that wouldn't judge him.

"That's not fair you know, and are you sure they'll let me in? I mean because of you know the overgrown carpet." Naruto asked while looking down at his stomach, he was hoping that he wouldn't be kicked out just because of his tenant.

"I promise you Naruto-san that you won't be kicked out, I give you my word as a Kunoichi of Konohagakure no Sato that you won't be kicked out of this store." Yugao replied with a confident voice making him smile.

"Here we are." Yugao said, it had taken them about fifteen minutes to arrive at the store, and the one thing that was common was only Shinobi and Kunoichi were either entering the store or leaving the store.

"The Chakra Builder." Naruto said out loud while looking at the store, he had seen this store before but didn't know what it was so he never bothered to go in.

"Alright now let's get you some groceries my young blonde companion, we need to get you big and strong." She teased out making Naruto pout in embarrassment for being treated like a child.

The two walked in to the grocery store and Yūgao handed Naruto a basket and followed behind the purple haired Kunoichi, while she grabbed him some healthier food options like vegetables, meat, fruits, grains, dairy products and she even made him get a couple of different cookbooks saying that learning how to cook your own meals will help you save money in the long run.

Naruto looked down at the three baskets full of food and cookbooks, he didn't know how much this was going to set him back but he was happy that someone one was willing to help him out this much. To others it wouldn't mean anything but to Naruto who grew up alone it meant the world, it showed that a select few actually cared about him and wanted him to succeed in life.

"Alright I think you have enough to last you a month until you start taking missions again." Yūgao said while holding another two baskets in her arms as she ushered them to the checkout line. "Oh Yūgao-san how've you been? I haven't seen you in a while." An old man asked while giving Yūgao a grandfatherly smile.

"Hello Matsu-san, I've been around, right now I'm helping Blondie over here." Yūgao said with a smile on her face while pointing at Naruto, making him blush in embarrassment. "So Matsu-san whats the damage!" She asked knowing the old man would give Naruto the discount.

"Well for the young man who saved my shop how does fifty percent off of everything sound?" He asked making Naruto's eyes widen in shock, he didn't know what to say this was too much for him even though Yūgao said she'd get his groceries off for fifty percent off he was still shocked.

"No, I-I can't accept that I don't want to hurt your business, and besides that's too much of a discount. I'm sorry Yūgao-san and Matsu-san but I can't accept this, I'd feel bad if I did." Naruto responded not knowing what to do in a situation like this.

"It's not a problem kid besides you did save my life during that invasion, so I owe you a lot more than that." Matsu said with a smile on his face making the young blonde blush in embarrassment.

"Uhm thanks I guess, and you don't mind me coming back here even though I hold you know who?" A hopeful Naruto asked. This was one of those few instances that someone was actually being nice to him and showing him compassion and respect.

"I'd love if you come back for any of your grocery needs Naruto-san." Matsu smiles at him warmly "besides having you come in here will help you not only in getting the proper diet that you need but you'll have people not judging who you are as a person." He finished.

"You have a deal Matsu-san." Naruto said with a genuine smile, making Yūgao smile warmly at him.

WITH NARUTO AND YUGAO

After shopping for groceries, the two had headed to Naruto's apartment to drop them off. Naruto's somber mood had picked up. He was happy that someone was willing to help him like Yugao did. 'And she's pretty too' thought Naruto 'Way prettier than Sakura-ch-... No, I could care less about her now' he inwardly hissed at the thought of her 'Yugao is way stronger and prettier!'

He quickly shook himself out of his thoughts. It wouldn't do him good to think like that. He probably didn't even stand a chance with someone like Yūgao. She was the best of the best when it came to Kunoichi's. Sure, there was Kurenai and that crazy snake lady but Yūgao was an ANBU, an experienced one at that too.

"So since you kept your promise, I'll keep mine Yugao-san I'll take up Kenjutsu like you suggested." Naruto said while he was putting away his food and his clones were cleaning his apartment. Naruto was happy that he'd be able to go back to the Chakra Builder, he could finally buy food at the actual prices without it having to be expired or overpriced.

"I'll be taking you to Higurashi weapons shop, they have high quality Shinobi clothings, since the owner is an ex-Shinobi and his daughter wants to become a weapons mistress." Yūgao said while watching the creative way Naruto used his shadow clones. "How come I never thought about doing this?" She mentally face palmed.

"Alright Naruto-san you can have your clones clean up your apartment while you and I go looking for a Katana for you, and remember this: You don't choose the Katana, the Katana chooses you." Yūgao said while heading outside with Naruto following behind her.

"Hai Yūgao-sensei, I promise to take your words to heart, but what if I one doesn't choose me? Could I be able to make my own Katana from the bottom up, like the handle, the metal and material?" Naruto asked making Yūgao look at him with surprise in her eyes.

"Now you're talking like a true swordsman, not some wannabe who just swings one around so they can feel powerful, a swordsman is always calm and collected no matter the situation." Yūgao said making sure he understood what it meant to wield a sword.

"So what's it like to be in ANBU?" Naruto asked Yūgao while looking at her not breaking eye contact, he was curious about what it took to be in ANBU and he wanted to know if he'd be able to make it.

HIGURASHI WEAPON SHOP

"Remember what I told you ANBU is considered the elite of the elite, I'm not going to discourage you to join ANBU. I will let you know this ANBU is always looking for new people to join in the ranks, and we're here now. Let's go and find you a Katana and maybe some new supplies." Yūgao said while smiling at her young companion.

"Hai Yūgao-san." Naruto replied whole smiling at her as he opened the door for her. "Ladies first." Naruto said politely making Yūgao smile at him and ruffle his hair.

"Well aren't you just the gentleman Naruto-san, whoever you end up dating will be a very lucky girl." She smiled while walking inside making him blush in embarrassment at the thought of him dating.

"I doubt it Yūgao-san, no one wants to date the demon. I'll probably end up alone which I don't mind, besides no one will ever truly love me." Naruto thought to himself with a small sigh knowing that he would end up alone, pushing those thought to the side he walked inside after her.

The store was medium sized but it worked, clothes, weapons, scrolls could be seen everywhere. The store was nicely decorated, Katana's, sais, bostaffs, kodachia's, and other weapons adorned the walls while clothing was separated in two different sections for Kunoichi's and Shinobi's. Scrolls and books adorned multiple bookshelves, for some reason it didn't feel like a shop it felt homey for some reason.

"Hello welcome to Higurashi weapons shop, how can I assist you?" Came a sweet but professional voice. The girl had two buns on top of her head making it look like panda ears. She wore a pink Chinese style shirt and blue ANBU pants with blue Shinobi sandals.

"Hello Tenten, I'm here with a friend and he's interested in Kenjutsu. So we're here today to help him find a Katana or Kodachi." Yugao said with a friendly smile on her face while examining the blond walking around.

"Of course Yugao-san you're one of prized customers, so where is your friend and we'll help him find the right sword." Tenten beamed with a smile on her face while walking around the counter towards the purple haired woman.

"Naruto please come here." Yugao called out making the brunette girl blink in surprise. She in a hundred years would've never thought the blonde was into kenjutsu, she imagined him just swinging a sword around with no skill or talent.

Thinking that's what the blonde was going to do annoyed her very much, she knew that he was reckless and impatient. He probably didn't even know anything about kenjutsu and it irked her, as a weapons mistress she took pride in knowing how to use every weapon she used used in her arsenal.

"Coming Yugao-san." A voice called out as the young blonde came into view. Tenten has to suppress her blush when she saw the blonde in front of him. Never in a million years would she ever think that Naruto looked hot, he was extremely attractive in his new outfit and those whisker marks have him a feral and exotic look. He'd definitely be beating the girls off with a stick when he got older.

Gone was that god ugly orange jumpsuit and was replaced with a form fitting black shirt that seemed to cling to his chest like a second skin showing off his athletic build, muscles in all the right places he wasn't overly muscular but he was extremely toned and lean. Black style ANBU pants with his left knee bandaged and a kunai and shuriken holster strapped to his right leg, his anbu pants where tucked into his Steel toed combat boots, fingerless gloves adorned his hands with metal playing on the back, but she could also see some studs poking out around the fist for added damage.

But what stood out the most was an unzipped chunin vest that he wore, his Hitai-ate hung loosely around his neck and a beautiful green gem necklace could partially be seen under his Hitai-ate. His bright sunny blonde hair was hung loosely around his face from where he was standing the sun was perfectly hitting his eyes making them shine bright. It was like swimming in an ocean of brightly polished Sapphires the way they gleamed and sparkled would melt any girls heart.

"Oh hey your name is Tenten right?" Naruto asked while tilting his head slightly to the left in a confused manner. Now Tenten and Yugao prided themselves in being strong Kunoichi but the way naruto looked right now made them want to glomp the poor blonde and yell out 'Kawaii'.

"Y-ye-Yes N-Nar-Naruto-k-kun." Tenten squeaked out her face bright red putting Hinata to shame in terms of blushing. "Did I just call him Naruto-kun? I mean yea he looks amazing now, and those whiskers oh kami I wanna pet them!" Tenten thought to herself.

"Are you ok Tenten? Your face is red, I think you may be sick you should go sit down." Naruto said while placing a hand on her forehead, oblivious to Tenten's thoughts. His cerulean blue eyes were full of worry and concern making Tenten blush even more than before.

Yugao could only chuckle at this scene and couldn't help but feel bad for the young girl, even Yugao had to admit that the young blonde was extremely attractive, and when he got older he'd definitely be sought out. But why was she feeling this emotion, it wasn't powerful but it was there she could feel it. This feeling wasn't anger or sadness no she didn't like the way Tenten had looked over Naruto when she first saw him.

She knew how others treated Naruto and knew he barely had any friends, people would always blow him off it also didn't help that he wore that 'kill me' orange jumpsuit. But now that he was wearing an outfit that made him look like an actual Shinobi he's garnering more attention from the opposite sex, but why was she feeling these emotions while looking at Tenten stutter and blush around him.

"I-is this jealousy? No I'm being silly why would I feel jealous about this?" Yugao thought to herself while shaking her head.

"Alright if you two love birds are done flirting we should go back to our initial goal and that's to find Naruto-kun a sword." Yugao said unknowingly using the 'kun'. "Why did I say lovebirds for? Ugh I need to stop, he's five years younger than me and I-I can't ever forget Hayate-kun." Yugao mentally berated herself.

WITH YUGAO

She was a bit disappointed that none of the swords felt right in Naruto's hands, she told them that they'd keep looking for one that fit him perfectly. She knew that Naruto felt disappointed for letting her down but she told him not to worry about it and that they'd find one together.

Yugao had been walking around and saw her old captain reading his smut like usual, some things never change she guessed.

"Hello Kakashi-taicho, how are you today?" Yugao asked while walking up to her old Captain. She was under his command in ANBU before he decided to hang up his mask and take on a genin team, she knew of his past and why he did certain things the way he did.

"Hello Yugao, how've you been?" Kakashi asked while pulling his book down to look at the purple haired woman, he wondered what she wanted since she wouldn't really talk to him unless she found it necessary or important.

"I bumped into one of your students and he's interested in joining ANBU, I have to say that took me by surprise. I wouldn't mind if he joined ANBU maybe I'll ask Hokage-sama to place him under my command, maybe I can help bring out some of his potential especially in Kenjutsu." Yugao said giving off a subtle hint making Kakashi chuckle.

"I agree if he joins ANBU he'll gain more experience plus it'll help him mature a bit more, but I think after his last mission it already helped him mature in more ways than one." Kakashi was sad his sensei's son almost died at the hands of his traitorous student who almost killed him with a Chidori, a jutsu he taught Sasuke himself before the Chunin Exams.

"I support your decision Yugao, but if Naruto decides not to join please don't force him. He seems to trust you and you don't want to lose his trust." Kakashi said while giving her his patented eye smile.

"Of course Tachio, I won't ever break his trust." Yugao said with a determined look on her face.

WITH TENTEN

"Kaa-chan it's not funny, I mean this is Naruto. You know loud mouthed, ramen eating, Hokage spewing, kinda cute, gorgeous smile….." Tenten stopped and looked at her mom who had a smug look on her face.

"Oh please keep going, this is getting very good, I mean I wanna hear more of this Naruto who has you all flustered. Not even your teammate Neji never had you like this." Kira said with a smug look on her face making her daughter groan out in annoyance.

"I'm going to bed!" Tenten shouted making her mother laugh. Sure she thought Naruto looked extremely attractive when he got rid of all that orange, his smile was so radiant and warm it made you feel safe and secure. His blonde hair was so wild and untamed but yet it looked soft fluffy, but the thing that got her the most were his eyes.

Those bright blue eyes that looked like you were swimming in an ocean full of brightly polished Sapphire's, and the way the sun hit his eyes wasn't fair they just shone so brightly that it made her heart skip a beat. She wasn't able to get those eyes out of her mind, the way you could get lost in them and feel like you were swimming.

"Oh kami what am I thinking!" Tenten mentally shouted while blushing like crazy. She did not like Naruto and that was final, or maybe she did.

WITH NARUTO

"You seem distracted Naruto-kun, is something wrong?" A soothing voice asked while looking at the young blonde she views as a little brother.

"Ayame-neechan why are girls weird? I mean today I was hanging out with someone who actually helped me buy groceries and some cookbooks. Then we went to a weapons shop, where that girl Tenten was blushing, I told her she might've been sick but she kept denying it." Naruto stated while playing with his Ramen.

Ayame couldn't help but giggle at her little brothers density when it came to girls, she had to admit his knew outfit definitely made her ogle him for a second. He looked serious and the black enhanced his deep blue ocean eyes and his bright golden locks.

"What was she doing when you were talking to her?" Ayame asked her little brother, as much as she loved him she had to tease him since he didn't know this Tenten girl found him attractive.

"Well Yugao-san was talking to her while I was looking for a Katana, then she called me over and Tenten's face started going red. I mean if she was sick she should've gone home and slept to get better."

"Oh Naruto-kun, this girl found you attractive but I can't tell you this hehe. I'm going to tease you merciless now." Ayame thought to herself. "I don't know Naruto-kun maybe it's like you said she probably wasn't feeling good." Ayame said while giving him a warm smile.

"Hmm maybe I should make her some soup tomorrow so she can feel better. Wouldn't want her to get sick, especially if it'll affect her on a mission." Naruto muttered to himself, making Ayame agree with him.

"I'll see you later Nee-chan." Naruto said while placing his money down and walking back to his apartment. A few minutes passed and naruto made it home, after a quick shower and changing into a pair of boxers he laid in bed. A lot had happened today with Sakura yelling at him, with his meeting with Yugao and how she helped him feel happy after a shitty day, his meeting with Tenten still threw him off. He had one last thought on his mind.

'Neko-chan.'

WITH YUGAO

Yugao was laying in bed, thinking about her day. It was a good change, she thought. For the past month she had done nothing all day but wandering around the village, thinking about how she could've saved Hayate.

When she heard the news a month ago, she broke down. First her parents had died when she was younger, and now Hayate he was the only person she had left and now he was gone. She had her life planned out with him, she would've become an ANBU Commander and he would become an Elite Jounin, they would have kids and live happily ever after.

At least that's what she thought would've happen. Now she was lonely… she smiled though when she thought about the blonde enigma known as Naruto Uzumaki, from earlier. It's as if Kami sent him her way. He had certainly improved her mood today.

They had gone shopping and she enjoyed it, of course she was a fearsome ANBU Captain but she was still a young woman and liked doing things girls do. Like shopping for example, even though it was shopping for a blade. It surprised though how Naruto could turn someone's day upside down for the better. She might be one of the Ice Queens of Konoha but somehow Naruto had warmed up her cold heart.

Hanging out with him reminded her of Kushina when she was younger Kushina would often babysit her sometimes and they would practice kenjutsu together. Kushina's loud and happy go lucky personality had passed on to Naruto and she was glad it did, she was downtrodden when she heard that Kushina died during the Kyuubi attack.

She quickly put down those depressive thoughts to rest, she was already mourning her boyfriends loss and she shouldn't add to it. Although she still didn't know why she felt angry when TenTen was ogling Naruto earlier. It kind of felt like when girls would try to ask out Hayate, except on a lesser level. "I can't be thinking like that about Naruto, right?"

She then imagined him a little bit older and taller, and felt her face heat up. Yup, she was starting to develop something for Naruto. She didn't know what it was, but it made her stomach flutter a bit. She had only one thing on her mind as she let the darkness of sleep overtake her.

'Naruto-kun.'
