Yuri glared at all the hateful ninjas in the dark, damp alley.

"What did you want, Baka?" She spat the at a Boy with dark hair and blueish green eyes.

He simply replied calmly, "Rumors have it you have a new Jutsu."

"That's for me to know and for you to find out." She smirked.

She turned tail, her long pony tail whipping over her straggly clothes.

Some ninja pulled her back by the neck of her tunic.

She whipped around, using the momentum and moisture in the air to send the flying in the brick wall about ten yards back.

"Yuuji Uchiha! I have a little brother to get back to!" She yelled.

She never had the best temper.

"Yuri Uzumaki, I want to see your new jutsu." Unfortunately, Yuuji was the exact opposite.

"Why? It's a Jutsu you can't learn." She cried.

"Then show it to me." he demanded impatiently.

He didn't have as much patience as Yuri.

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"
"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Ha! You said no. Chow!" She gloated then disappeared in a smudge of black.

"Damn you, Yuri Kantana Uzumaki."

Only his voice sounded different.

It sounded fond and loving.

"Uchiha, sir. It's eight. Many of us have to train. Do you want group train or singular?"

He needed time alone.

So he could have an excuse for wandering off to spy on Yuri.

"Let's do groups, except I want to be alone. Everyone needs to work on Taijutsu."

…..

Yuri pranced into the small, badly built, makeshift house. Her little brother, Jiriya, who was four was playing with his blocks Yuri built him. She smiled and ruffled his hair. She took the pot out of the cabinet and set it over the fireplace in the middle of the room. She added the chopped carrots onions, tomatoes, and pieces of rabbit flesh she had prepared earlier to the pot she poured some water in and smiled, "Jiriya, do you want the honors?" "Hai, Yuri-nee-chan!" and he put his tiny hands out and a small but sparking flame admitted from them.

The wood was instantly ablaze. Yuri grinned. "Good boy. Now stay away from the fire and play with your blocks." She went to setting the table. She sat down and started to do her homework. She finished very fast, and went to stir the stew. She checked over her homework while she did this; final exams were near, then they'll start to get income. She smiled at the thought.

Even though she'll have to work twice as hard, she would be able to give Jiriya a better life.

She went to cutting wood. She stirred the stew again. She quickly hunted some fish, deer and rabbits. Then she stirred again. Finally she picked all the crops out of their garden and harvested the eggs of their two hens.

She smiled again,pulling the pot off the fire and putting it in the wooden bowls and pulling a little in each. Jiriya waddled over to the table and started to eat his stew heartily. I finished mine, utterly happy, but unaware of the person watching through the window.

…..

Yuuji looked through the window with interest.

She was always this busy?

He must have really put a dent in her time, but she looked happy nonetheless.

Finally she put the toddler with the ability to harness his chakra and produce fire at such a young age (which was extraordinary) to sleep and went outside.

He followed her, and she finally stopped at a small waterfall.

She stripped down, which Yuuji politely adverted his eyes, and walked over that water.

Suddenly, the water rippled around her.

The water rose in fell in spots and her dark blue eyes opened, revealing something disturbing, her eyes were tinted red.

She was struggling but she finally she just relaxed her muscles and danced about the water in tight, but flowing movements.

Yuuji gasped at the sight.

Yuri, the Yuri Uzumaki who got into fights, was this graceful!

But what she did next was the most amazing part.

She sank into the water suddenly, and Yuuji was up ready to rise to the challenge.

But Yuri popped above the water, controlling massive waves in the shape of a fox.

The fox roared, and it flew up into the air, reducing into droplets and rained on Yuri, reflecting a rainbow.

But she wasn't done yet.

She slid about the water in circles.

Each time the waters inside the circle swelled and increased, until giant cliff formed in its place.

Raising her hands the cliff levitated more and more upwards, until a ten foot man could fit under it with space to jump.

The cliff thinned out and enveloped her in a sphere like shape.

The sphere started the ripple, until finally Sharp water blades fanned out from all directions.

Yuuji ducked behind a tree, and when he came back out, she was gone.

And dripping ice kunais tinted with purple lay on each tree, right in the middle of a X.
