Book One:
Deep in the Land of Fire, in the Hidden Leaf Village, the hero Naruto Uzumaki lives. But, what if he had a sister?
Enter Natsumi Uzumaki.
She's your typical twin sister- empathetic, responsible, and willing to do whatever it takes to prot...
The three Genin watched in horror and anticipation as Kakashi's body fell to the ground. Just as it touched the earth, it vanished in a puff of smoke and revealed a small log in its place, with each of Sasuke's Shuriken and Kunai lodged deep inside.
Their eyes widened and Sasuke clenched his teeth, quickly relocating to another tree to hide his position. "Damn! Another substitution? He must have found out my location by now with those Shuriken!" He quickened his pace through the foliage. "He purposefully lowered his guard! It serves me right... I fell for the trap!"
"So, he's over there, huh?" Kakashi looked out from behind the dense foliage he had hidden himself behind and chuckled as he reached into his back pouch.

Sakura ran from her hiding spot to find new cover, looking all around her cautiously as she ran through the forest. "Sasuke... where are you?! Don't tell me... Kakashi-sensei already..." She blinked the thought away quickly and ran faster. "No. That couldn't happen to Sasuke, right?!"
She stopped on a sturdy branch and hid behind a thick cover of leaves, ducking down. She watched Kakashi carefully as he stood below, reading once more. "Safe! He didn't notice me."
"Sakura, behind you."

Her eyes burst open and she turned to see her sensei sitting on the branch behind her in a squat. Then, she let out an ear-piercing scream that echoed through the trees and disturbed the nearby birds.

Naruto remained grumbling to himself as he hung upside-down from his ankles in the tree, still in Kakashi's trap.
"What's up with that 'a ninja must see through deception' stuff?! Darn it! I'll never fall for his trap again!"
He retrieved a Kunai knife and lifted himself upward to cut the rope from around his ankles, freeing himself. He rolled into a ball as he fell and landed perfectly on his feet and grinned.
A second rope trap caught his ankle and pulled him up into the tree, flailing and complaining loudly. "Darn it! I fell for it again!"

Kakashi eyes Sakura carefully and brought his hands together in the Rat hand sign. The leaves around them swirled around Kakashi, blocking him from Sakura's view, and swirled up into the sky, leaving Sakura standing suddenly alone in a clearing.
She blinked slowly and she looked around, finding Kakashi gone. "Huh?! What was that?! Hold on! Where's Sensei?!"
Sakura tapped her chin in thought, noticing how the sky had darkened as if overcast and then resumed looking for Kakashi. "Huh?! What's going on?!"
A faint grunt came from the forest around her and she grabbed her hair in panic and turned her head toward the noise. "Huh?! What's that?!"
