A/N: What's going on guys it's the Rice Man here! You all might know me as the guy behind Naruto's Lemon Adventures. I recently read a fic that pairs Naruto with Kurotsuchi called ''Love Your Enemy'' and I can say that has made me fall in love with this pairing. Honestly I think this pairing deserves it's own massive following because it is severely underrated and I hope my fic can help shine some light onto it. In my story however, Kurotsuchi will meet Naruto whenthey are both ten years old and we'll work from there. Here is my first chapter and I hope you enjoy. Also, this story will contain an OC sensei for Naruto and this is an AU.

Location: Iwagakure no Sato, Tsuchikage's office

It was around seven in the evening and we are taken to the office of the most powerful shinobi in Iwagakure, or simply the Village Hidden in The Stones. The scene shifts to the interior of the office and we see the third Tsuchikage, Onoki sitting at his desk and beside him was his son Kitsuchi, a Jonin of the village and before the two of them was their precious daughter/granddaughter Kurotsuchi.

The expression she had on her face was one of anger and annoyance and here's why..

''What?! What do you mean you're sending me to live in Konoha?!'' Screamed the girl.

''Kurotsuchi, Iwa and Konoha have never really gotten along since our villagers were founded years ago. I am hoping this little exchange between us and Konoha will at least keep relations stable. Don't worry it won't be permanent it will be just until you've made Genin level.'' Kitsuchi explained to his daughter. He hated Konoha with a burning passion but he was glad the Tsuchikage was finally trying to do something about the strained relations between the two villages.

''That's right Kurotuschi dear, the Hokage will send his grandson here as well as a student of the Land of Earth just as you will be for the Land of Fire.'' Onoki said.

''Screw Konoha and their little proposal! Who cares we don't need to be friends with them they're nothing but a bunch of Iwa killing scum! I'd rather be dead than go to their crappy village!" Kurotsuchi protested.

The Tsuchikage wasn't in the mood to argue. ''YOU INSOLENT GIRL BE QUIET AND LISTEN! YOU'RE DOING THIS WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" He yelled at the top of his lungs while using his Big Head Jutsu.

The force of his screams shook the whole room and was loud enough to scare Kurotsuchi causing her to fall on her butt shaking in fear. ''F-fine! I'll do it, but I won't like it!"

You don't have to like it dear, just deal with it. Who knows? You may like it later on.'' Onoki said with a smile, ''Kitsuchi, please hand her papers please.''

Complying Kitsuchi walks over to Kurotsuchi and hands her a folder containing her files that she was going to submit to Iwa's ninja academy. ''You and Chihiro give this to the Hokage when you get there. He'll know right away.''

Grabbing her enrollment papers Kurotsuchi proceeded to look at it. Her name was written in the middle of the folder and contained her papers for her to enroll at Konoha's ninja academy. Looking at Onoki she asked, ''So am I going as an Iwa or Konoha academy student?''

''Anyway you see fit dear. You could be an Iwa kunoichi living in Konoha and registered in their system but most likely you'll be wearing their headband.''

''Ugh, just what I need, living there is punishment enough but wearing their headband is just gross.'' Kurotsuchi groaned.

''At least you're a kunoichi regardless.'' Kitsuchi spoke up, ''When you graduate we will send you the Iwa shinobi outfit if you want or you can wear theirs.''

Kurotsuchi just sighed in defeat. ''So when do I go there again?'' She asked.

''You leave tomorrow morning dear, you will be brought there by my assistant Chihiro. After you've met with the Hokage you're on your own pretty much.'' Onoki explained.

''Yes, you should go get rest Kurotsuchi because you leave first thing in the morning.'' Kitsuchi added.

Nodding with a sigh Kurotsuchi left to get some rest.

''Kurotsuchi wait.'' Onoki said getting the girl's attention.

''What is it now gramps?''

''Who knows? You might also meet a guy you'll like there.'' The Tsuchikage teased with a perverted grin.

Kurotsuchi blushed and quickly left the room much to the amusement of the two older men. Now alone in the room the two men began talking.

''So you think this will really benefit us? I mean we do have the Hokage's grandson coming here as part of the exchange.'' Kitsuchi asked the elderly man.

''I'm sure, it's Hiruzen now so it should make the whole process of this exchange a whole lot easier and without me probably trying to attack the Yellow Flash in the face for what he did to us in the third war. And when you think about it Kumo, Suna and Kiri have been friendly with Konoha ever since they sent some of their shinobi there for the program.''

''If you say so Lord Tsuchikage. That traitorous bastard Deidara bombing us several weeks ago puts us in an even worse position.''

''You are right, it's also best for her safety as well.'' Onoki said

-Konoha Main Gate, next morning-

As the sun rises across Konohagakure two eighteen year old Chunin guarding the main gate awake from their unauthorized slumber. These two are Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane and they've been on guard duty for twenty days straight.

''Ugh, Izumo wake up it's morning and time to begin another boring day as gate guards...'' Kotetsu groaned as he stretches himself.

He reaches over and places a hand on Izumo's shoulder prodding the man awake. ''Yo, fucking let me sleep will you?'' Izumo grumbled.

''Sure, then let Lord Hokage catch you and you'd be demoted to a Genin.'' Kotetsu shot back.

This served to wake Izumo almost instantly and the man quickly grabs his hygiene kit and began brushing his teeth, combing his hair and washing his face with a sink he made appear from God knows where.

''What the hell? Where'd that sink come from?!''

''What you see is a genjutsu Kotetsu ooooooo!'' Izumo said trying to be scary.

''Shut the hell up and hurry up, we got another day of writing down traffic. Ugh, we always get stuck doing this shit.''

5 minutes later..

About a quarter mile out from the main gate we see the young Kurotsuchi and the Tsuchikage's secretary named Chihiro approaching the main gate. Chihiro looked to face the young girl and saw that she was dawning an annoyed expression on her face. ''What's wrong Kurostuchi? Aren't you excited to visit another village let alone live in one for a while?'' She asked the young kunoichi to be.

''No! I don't want to live in that poor excuse of a village. They're all murderers and deserve to be wiped out off the face of the Earth.'' Kurotsuchi shot back.

''Stop it, when are you going to understand that this is for our village's benefit? Do you not want us to at least be on friendly terms with Konoha or would you rather have the both of us hate each other forever and probably go to war again? You know we aren't in a position to fight another war Kurotsuchi, if another one broke out we would be annihilated. We've lost so many shinobi last time and we can't go through that again. Besides, think of it this way. You've already mastered your lava release correct?''

Kurotsuchi nods at Chihiro's question.

''Then you can add the element of fire to your disposal to make you even more awesome. Fire is probably the most powerful element and from what I've heard has some really good jutsu for it. So that's a benefit for you.'' Chihiro finished.

''And what other benefits are there huh?'' Kurotsuchi snorted.

''Besides being educated and taught in fire release techniques, you'll also be trained by the best academy out of the five great nations. Konoha is well known for producing excellent ninja and they're no doubt the best trained as well. So there's that.'' Chihiro explained.

Kurotsuchi's eyes turned into stars. 'She does have a point! I'm already awesome as it is but being trained by the best ninja...gross, I mean, being trained by Konoha's best is not too shabby at all. Learning fire release makes it even better too!'

''Hey, we're here.'' Chihiro said snapping Kurotsuchi out of her thoughts, ''Huh?''

''I said we're here.''

Kurotsuchi looks towards her front and sees the main gate of Konohagakure, open and ready to accept whoever walks through them. She had to admit it gave off a friendly, warm and welcoming vibe which was something that she wasn't used to. The two Iwa ladies then enter the gate and walk up towards the small checkpoint where Izumo and Kotetsu were.

''Hi, may I see your identification, papers, all those goodies?'' Izumo asked with a warm smile.

Chihiro reaches for her I.D. and hands it to the Chunin. Looking at Kurotsuchi she raises her eyebrow prompting the young girl to hand Kotetsu her exchange papers. The two Chunin then take the time to look over the documents before nodding in satisfaction.

''So I presume this young lady is part of the exchange program between our villages?'' Izumo asked handing the two ladies their documents.

''Yes, young Kurotsuchi here will attend the academy.'' Chihiro replied with a smile.

''Just my luck...'' Kurotsuchi mumbled.

''Oh come on little lady! The Konoha ninja academy is the best! We have amazing instructors and the student body is quite diverse. as it is already! I think you'll meet some good kids your age you'd get along well with.'' Kotetsu inquired.

''Yeah, whatever you say.'' The soon to be kunoichi groaned before receiving a tap on the back of the head from Chihiro.

''Heh, excuse her behavior she isn't feeling well this morning gentlemen! Would you be so kind to escort us to see the Hokage?''

''Sure.'' Izumo said before clearing his throat, ''Oh ANBUUUUUUUUUUU!'' He shouted in a sing-song voice.

And like that two ANBU agents appeared before the four of them. ''Could you guys escort these ladies to see Lord Hokage? The little lady there is an exchange student from Iwagakure.'' Izumo explained.

The two ANBU nod before motioning the Iwa ladies to follow suit.

''Man, she is a mean girl!" Kotetsu said once they were out of hearing range.

''She's from Iwa so it makes sense why she's acting like that so give the kid a break Kotetsu.'' Izumo said in a bossy voice.

''Well I sure hope she doesn't end up...killing some kids from our village considering that some bad blood still exists between us and them.''

''I agree.'' Izumo concluded.

The two of them were left to sulk in depression as another day as gate guards begins.

-Hokage Tower-

Chihiro, Kurotsuchi and the two ANBU are seen walking up the staircase towards the Hokage's office. After a few more minutes they finally approach the large double doors where the office is.

''Here we are, please go ahead and enter.'' One of the ANBU said.

''Thank for your escort.'' Chihiro said.

Nodding, the two ANBU then shunshin leaving the two ladies alone. Chihiro then bent down to where she was eye-level with Kurotsuchi. ''Now Kurotsuchi, I want you to be on your best behavior alright? For the love of Kami don't start anything with any of the young Konoha shinobi, don't pick fights and please don't insult the Hokage. That would be pretty bad since he knows the Tsuchikage's granddaughter is attending the shinobi exchange program.''

''I can't guarantee that Chihiro-san, my temper and arrogance gets the best of me sometimes so whatever I do you can blame the brats who pushed me.'' Kurotsuchi snorted.

''YOUNG LADY.'' Chihiro shouted as her eyes glow red sending waves of killer intent towards the little girl.

''Ung!''

''You're our representative for this program, since we are so low on shinobi we can only send you and you seriously better behave! Make Iwagakure look good you hear me? Most importantly, make Lord Tsuchikage look good.''

Kurotsuchi knew she was right, she can't screw up and now she had to throw away her hatred of Konoha aside if she wanted to even be a kunoichi. ''Fine, I understand Chihiro-san. I promise to behave.'' Kurotsuchi sighed with honesty in her words.

Chihiro smiled, maybe Kurotsuchi would pull through and get through the ninja academy without causing any problems. Getting up she balls her hand into a fist ready to knock on the door.''Ready Kurotsuchi? She asked turning to look at the girl.

''Yes.''

Chihiro then knock on the door three times as loud as she could. The two of them were greeted with silence before a voice spoke. ''Come in.''

Chihiro then grabs the door knob and turns it opening the door and they enter the office. Closing the door behind them Chihiro turns to face the Hokage and the two of them were greeted by an elderly man Kurotsuchi guessed was the same age as the Tsuchikage. He had a warm smile on his face and was smoking a pipe.

''Ah, are you the two lovely ladies from Iwagakure? I am Hiruzen Sarutobi and I am the Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato.'' He welcomed.

''Yes, I have brought young Kurotsuchi here to attend your academy as part of the Shinobi Exchange on behalf of the Tsuchikage.'' Chihiro explained.

Smiling, the Hokage looks at Kurotsuchi. The girl was a bit apprehensive but when she saw that his eyes had a look of calm and kindness in them she sighed in relief. ''Hm, and do you have your files? Any important documents you will need to enroll in our academy young Kurotsuchi?''

Nodding, Kurotsuchi takes her file out of her pack and walks up to the elderly man. Taking it from the girl Hiruzen then proceeds to look over her enrollment papers that came with the packet. Nodding in satisfaction he then places the papers on his desk. ''Well then, your grandfather must really want you to be part of the program. I'll gladly mail this to the academy headmaster and you will receive a letter in the mail that will confirm your acceptance.''

''Thank you Lord Hokage.'' Kurotsuchi said politely as she bows.

''Haha, no need for formalities young lady, today I'm feeling very jolly so just call me Hokage-sama okay?''

''Oh, okay Hokage-sama.'' Kurotsuchi chuckled.

''Ahem, now I will give you your address to the apartment complex you will live in with the other village exchange students. Don't worry about not being guarded because I have ANBU guarding the apartment 24/7 just in case anyone dares to try and attack children from other villages. Your safety is our utmost concern.'' Hiruzen said with a smile.

He then takes a pen and writes down the address to the complex before handing it to Kurotsuchi. ''There you go, that will be all. So do you have anything else to say before I send you off?''

''Nothing here for me to say Lord Hokage, thank you for having Kurotsuchi here in your village. I'm sure Lord Tsuchikage would be pleased.'' Chihiro said with a bow.

''No problem, will that be all?''

The two Iwa ladies shake their heads in response before Hiruzen dismissed them. They proceed to leave the tower and make their way towards the front entrance of the building. Chihiro bends down to Kurotsuchi's level to bid her farewell. ''Well Kurotsuchi, this is where I have to leave you dear. You going to be okay on your own?'' She questioned.

''Yeah yeah, I'm a big girl now so don't stress out. I'll find my way to the complex.'' Kurotsuchi answered with confidence.

''Good, be on your best behavior and we'll see you at graduation.''

Kissing her on the forehead Chihiro then waves good-bye before walking off and disappearing into the crowd. Kurotsuchi then looks at the paper with the address on it and begins making her way there.

-Apartment complex, 1 hour later-

Kurotsuchi spent over an hour looking for her apartment complex but it was no easy task. She got lost five minutes after she began her search. 'Man! Konoha is no doubt the largest village of them all! I never got lost in Iwa like this before.'

Walking into the door she shows the front desk receptionist her exchange papers and receives the key to her apartment. Thanking the receptionist she then makes her way up to the third floor where her apartment is.

''Let's see...C-1, C-2, Ah! Here is apartment C-3.''

Taking her key she unlocks the door and opens it. She was greeted to cool air to which she sighs in relief. 'Wow! The A.C. is already on!' She thought as she walks into the living room. Setting her pack on the desk in the kitchen she notices an envelope and a note on the table for her. Picking it up she opens the envelope and finds over $500,000 for food shopping and other necessities that she may need later on. Taking the note she reads it,

Dear Kurotsuchi,

This is a letter from me, Hiruzen Sarutobi and I just wanted to let you know I am glad that you have decided to attend the Konoha ninja academy on behalf of your grandfather Tsuchikage Onoki and the exchange program to help improve relations between our two nations. In the envelope if you haven't opened it yet contains enough ryo to last you the entire four years you will be in the academy. Please spend it wisely on things you will need such as food, clothes, hygiene, and cleaning products. Do not worry about bills because the power, water and other household utilities are free courtesy of me. Once again I thank you and welcome you to Konohagakure no Sato and I hope you enjoy your stay and your future career as an Iwa kunoichi in service to Konoha.

-Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage

Smirking, Kurotsuchi puts the letter aside and opens her fridge to find it stocked up! ''Holy crap! The old man planned ahead huh?'', Looking into the fridge's shelves she spots several frozen meats, Sriracha sauce, frozen yogurt, dumpling recipes and various fruit juices. Peeking at the top of the fridge she spots two gallons of water and two 24-packs of water bottles stacked atop one another. Moving onwards towards the counter she sees cooking utensils placed neatly and orderly. Taking a chair she climbs onto the counter-top and opens up the shelves and sees various cooking ingredients such as salt, pepper and everything you would want.

''You know, maybe being here wouldn't be THAT bad..'' She whispered to herself.

She then proceeds to unpack her bag and takes out a fresh pair of clothes to shower. Thirty minutes later she exits the shower and jumps onto the couch in the living room.

''The couch feels nice, much better than those old ones back home.''

Deciding that sitting and laying would be boring she decided that she might as well go out and explore the village a little since it's better to know it now than later so she doesn't get lost. Getting up she then heads out the door and begins her self tour of the village.

-Konoha Streets-

After over two hours of walking through the village and finding where the food, shinobi and clothing stores were she was starting to feel hungry and thought it would be a good idea to get some lunch. Checking her little watch she saw that it was around one in the afternoon. ''Hm, I wonder if this dump has any good places worth eating at.'' She said as she stops to take a quick look around. One stand catches her eye. A ramen stand that had a sign sporting the words 'Ichiraku Ramen!'. ''Well I guess ramen will do since it looks relatively friendly and cheap.'' She said to herself as she walks up to the shop.

Taking a seat she notices that the stand only had about twelve seats and was really small but had a really nice and friendly atmosphere to it. She spots a girl with brown hair who appeared to be a year older than her cleaning the dishes while an older man in his mid-thirties was seen prepping the broth for the noodles. She sat there silently before the girl spotted her.

''Hi! Welcome to Ichiraku ramen! What can I get you?'' The girl said in a very cheerful tone.

''Oh, um this is my first time here...actually this is my first time in this village so I don't really know what you have..'' Kurotsuchi replied.

''I think I can guess why you haven't been here before young lady. It's because you're in the shinobi exchange program right?'' The older man said without looking at her.

''Erm, yeah that's why. I'm from Iwagakure.''

''Iwa huh? Never met anyone from there before so it's a pleasure! I'm Teuchi and this fine little lady here is my daughter Ayame.'' Teuchi introduced with a bow.

''Nice to meet you!'' Ayame greeted.

''Kurotsuchi, likewise.''

''You know since it's your first time here I'll give you a free bowl on the house.'' Teuchi said as he dumps some ramen into the broth to cook.

''I mean, if you insist that is.'' Kurotsuchi shrugged.

''Hey it's on the house!''

''Oh fine. Thanks anyway.''

After about five minutes another person comes into the stall and takes a seat two stools away from Kurotsuchi. Looking out the corner of her eye she could make out a boy with spiky blonde hair about her age. Turning to face him completely she saw that he had blue eyes and whisker marks on his cheeks that made him look a bit feral.

''Oh! Daddy, Naruto is here!" Ayame shouted in glee.

''Get him his usual!'' Teuchi called out.

The blonde boy sat there with a huge smile on his face. Noticing the girl sitting close to him he turns his head and looks her way. The two lock eyes for a moment before Naruto gave her his trademark grin then turning away. There was something about the look in his eyes that got Kurotsuchi curious. While his eyes and smile displayed happiness Kurotsuchi saw a sense of loneliness and depression.

''Hiya! I'm Naruto! You can send the love letters later, nice to meet you!" The blonde greeted with his foxy grin as he looks back at her.

''Uh, yeah..'' She said as a bowl of ramen was placed in front of her, 'Oh dang, that actually looks really good!'

''Enjoy!'' Ayame said before giving the blonde his bowl.

''Thanks Ayame!'' He shouted as he goes to devour his bowl in 2.5 seconds.

Kurotsuchi was taking her second bite when she looked at the boy and her eyes nearly rocketed out of her sockets. That blonde had already eaten twelve bowls while she was only on her second bite!

'Holy crap, how the heck does he do that? No human on earth can eat that fast!' She thought with a deadpan expression.

Another five minutes would go by and when Kurotsuchi got halfway through her bowl she turned and looked and saw over twenty more empty bowls stacked up beside the boy.

'This guy doesn't hold back when it comes to eating huh?'

Picking up the pace Kurotsuchi devours her bowl just as Naruto finished bowl number twenty-two. Burping he turns to look at the girl giving her a grin. ''I see you trying to eat as fast as me huh? Think you can do better?'' He asked.

Kurotsuchi just scoffed before a second bowl was placed in front of her. With the utmost efficiency she managed to devour it in five seconds much to Naruto's surprise.

''Haha! That was fast but not fast enough!'' Naruto said as another bowl was placed in front of him and to Kurotsuchi's surprise he ate it in literally a quarter of a millisecond.

''What the?!'' She said.

Setting the bowl down the blonde turns to face the girl with his supposed signature grin. ''Think you can top that girly?'' He questioned.

With a tic mark forming on her head she pounds on the counter and screams ''Third bowl! Now!"

''Here you go!" Teuchi said.

Grabbing the bowl and putting it against her face she proceeds to devour it at a speed that was considered inhuman that even Naruto was once again taken by surprise. 'I won't lose! Kurotsuchi always wins because I'm the best!'

Two hours later..

After over two hours having a ramen eating contest neither of them were aware of the two of them had eaten a total of one-hundred bowls each and now they were on their last bowls as their little stomachs were on the verge of exploding.

''I...I won't lose to you blondie.'' Kurotsuchi moaned as she takes her chopsticks and takes a bite of some ramen.

''Y..yeah sure...I'm a natu-*Burp*-ral at this..'' Naruto groaned as he tries to take one last bite but before he could put the ramen in his mouth his head slumps forward and lands on the counter. His body seemingly unconscious.

''Yes!'' Kurotsuchi shouted with her arms raised.

Teuchi and Ayame couldn't help but laughed at the two children.

''Aaaaaand I believe the winner is the young Iwa exchange student!'' Teuchi declared while Ayame applaud, ''Congrats! Looks like Naruto has a rival!''

''W-whatever...'' Kurotsuchi said as she devours her last bowl before she performs a hand seal for a technique that allows her full stomach to immediately digest all the food. ''There, all better, thanks for the food old guy!'' Kurotsuchi says as she takes off.

Checking her watch she saw that it was about five in the evening and decided to go look around for the training fields. After thirty minutes of searching she found the Third Training Field where she hoped she could practice some moves in peace away from the bustling village. She enters the field and the sight was quite nice compared to the Iwa training fields. It was in the middle of a small forest with a large river cutting through the middle of it that led to a lake a quarter mile away.

''Huh, I guess this place is somewhat nice.'' She said to herself before taking out a small scroll from her small pack and focuses some chakra into her hand. Placing it on the scroll a sword materializes and she unsheathes it and begins practicing some Kendo techniques for over a few hours before deciding to head back to her apartment.

-Shopping District of Konoha, the same night-

It was around eight at night now and Kurotsuchi was walking the now semi quiet streets of Konoha. She was glad she was walking home at this time because during the day Konoha was jam packed with people moving around making it pretty challenging to walk the streets. Since it was eight now traffic had died down about 40% making travel much easier. She continued walking until she heard a huge commotion up the street and saw a mob of sorts doing what she believed was chasing someone.

''Huh, who pissed those guys off?'' She whispered to herself, ''Oh well, none of my business.''

She was about to turn the other direction when she heard what sounded like a child shout in pain, ''What the hell?'' She said before running towards the mob.

As she was approaching the mob she heard various sentences being said.

''Kill the demon!''

''You will pay for what you did all those years ago!''

''Time to die!''

She made her way directly behind the mob and spotted a mix of shinobi and villagers carrying various weapons such as pitchforks, katanas, kusarigamas and torches. Peaking through the gaps of their legs she saw someone familiar. It was that blonde Naruto kid from the ramen stand! The boy was in a fetal position cowering in fear before the mob. ''These idiots are picking on some kid? Well I'll show them who's boss!...Wait...I'll only cause a problem if I attack anyone from here..damn.'' She said to herself, ''Guess I'll just save the blondie and get out of here.''

With that Kurotsuchi then hops over the mob and lands in between them and the blonde holding her hand protectively in front of Naruto. Feeling the presence of someone looming over him Naruto opens his eyes and spots a person standing in front of him separating him from the mob with their hand held in front of him as if protecting him. 'It's that girl from the Ichiraku's!' He thought recognizing the girl

''Who the hell are you girl?'' One of the villagers asked.

''Why the heck are you picking on some kid? She replied.

''Don't protect that demon spawn! He destroyed our village years ago and now we will destroy him and avenge our fallen comrades!'' One of the shinobi yelled.

''You're all scum for picking on a defenseless kid. Especially you shinobi! You're supposed to protect your comrades not hurt them let alone a poor child!" Kurotsuchi spat before one of the Chunin charged forth with a katana ready to cut Kurotsuchi down.

''Oh man, just what I need.''

Kurotsuchi took her katana and swung it with enough force to swat the Chunin's katana right out of his grip catching the man by surprise. ''What the?!'' He shouted before Kurotsuchi karate chopped his temple knocking him out cold. Chuckling in satisfaction she turns to face the crowd, ''So who's next?'' She said challenging the mob to try her.

Just as she said that two more Chunin charged towards her with kunai in hand and like the one before she effortlessly dodged all their attacks and proceeded to knock one of them out before choking the other out cold. Tossing his body aside two villagers came at her and she performed a roundhouse kick knocking them both backwards against the nearby dumpster. After several more minutes of asskicking Kurotsuchi had managed to beat the mob leaving them beaten into unconsciousness. Naruto was just staring at her in awe.

Cracking her neck and her knuckles she lets out a sigh of content. ''Now that was worth the work out!'' She declared before Naruto started speaking, ''Wow! That was so cool! I've never seen anyone kick butt like that! You are really good!'' The blonde declared.

Turning to face the boy she couldn't help but smirk, ''I only beat them because shinobi in your village are weak, that's why they got what they got by a ten-year old like me. I'm awesome and they suck end of story.'' She boasted, ''So what did you do to make all these people want to kill you?''

''Urm, well I never really did anything at all actually.'' He answered.

''Suuuuuuuuuure.'' Kurotsuchi snorted, ''Well it's getting late so you should head on home.'' She ordered as she handed him a handkerchief to clean off his bloody nose. ''Clean that blood off your face, you look like a mess.'' She ordered before she turns to hop over the rooftops. Just as she was about to hop Naruto reached out and grabbed her arm.

''Wait!''

Turning back Kurotsuchi shot an annoyed glare at the blonde boy. ''What?''

''W-what's your name?'' He asked.

''Should I tell him my name or shouldn't I? Oh fine, I guess it wouldn't hurt. I mean it's only polite.'' She thought

''My name is Kurotsuchi.''

Smiling, Naruto gave her his trademark grin, ''I'm Naruto Uzumaki!'' He declared with a thumbs up.

''Um, you told me already at the ramen shop but whatever.'' She said before hopping away.

Naruto was left standing there in awe. ''She's cool...'' He mumbled to himself as a blush forms on his face.

He then begins walking home towards his apartment complex.

-Naruto's apartment complex-

Naruto was making his way up the stairs of his apartment complex before coming up to his door. Reaching into his pocket he takes his keys and unlocks his door and enters it.

Unknown to him however that during his entire walk back to his apartment Kurotsuchi was watching him from the rooftops. Watching him enter his apartment she then turns to head to hers. There was only one thought going through her mind.

Why was she feeling very caring towards him?

A/N: I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this story, I know it may not be perfect but it's a first chapter so there's always guaranteed to be flaws. So anyway, fave, follow, review and I'll see you next time. :D
