The Hokage was just walking around taking in the imaginary that was right in front of him , two guards were with him. He still was worried that you weren't back, something told him that it was because of  your Kekkei Genkai. Maybe people were still after you and had managed to ambush and had  taken you with them. 

Even so, watching how happy people were only made him want to protect them. After spending sometime walking around to see how things were going he decided to go back to his office and so he made his way back with the two guards following behind. 

Soon he arrived and greeted his secretary but after he was close to opening the door he stopped; he heard some noises  and the guards heard it as well because they made their way the door. One guard standing at each side of the door, they looked at each other and nodded. Then they  both kicked the door and soon entered. Both had a couple of kunais ready to be used, but before throwing the kinais they stopped only to see the figure laying on the floor. 

The Hokage must have noticed that something was wrong because soon he was in the office doing what the guards were doing; watching the small figure. Realizing that the headband and the [hair color] hair, [Name] was the only name that came across the Hokage's mind. Without wasting any more time, he made his way to your unconscious form. He checked your pulse and after he found that you were still alive, he yelled at the guards " Don't just stand there, take her to the hospital quick!" He moved aside and one of the guards carefully placed you on his arms and made his way to the hospital. In no time they arrived there and placed you on one  of the beds. The doctors took you to the emergency room where they did what needed to be done. 

The rumor of the arriving of the injured [nickname] spread quickly around the village.  It was then that Naruto found out and headed to the hospital as soon as possible. He waited and waited for the news. After hours of waiting the doctor came out to the waiting room and as soon as Naruto spotted him, he approached the doctor. "How is she?! Will she be OK?!" He kept on going until the doctor answered. 

" Yes, she will be fine. She had a few injuries but  they were not life treating. She was found unconscious due to blood loss. There is no need to be worried. She will be fine and  she will be able to go home tomorrow but for now she needs to rest." 

Naruto frowned. " You mean I can't see her now?!"

The doctor just looked at Naruto. " Yes, that's what I said. You can go and visit her once she in released  from the hospital." And the doctor  left. Naruto Stood there for a minute but left; he was hungry and made his way to get so ramen. 

You laid on the bed when you woke up. You could still feel a little tired and a bit of pain from the injuries you received but even so, you could handle it. You just laid there thinking over what happened. The encounter with Itachi was something that you weren't expecting, and it was something that you wouldn't be able to forget that easily. Neither the last image that your mind was able to capture. The moment that you were ready to make your escape, Itachi seemed relieved. Why? You couldn't quick bring the puzzle together.

 You groaned. It was going to be difficult to find the real reason on why Itachi seemed relieved that you were able to escape and the fact that after getting out of the hospital you were expected to report to the Hokage's office to give details. You were not sure whether to give the details of what you last saw or not. Being concentrated on what you were going to do, you failed to notice the presence of the doctor. He clear his throat to let you know that he was there and after turning around to look at him. He just explained that  you were ready to go home, but you needed to rest. After he left and you got prepared. You just wanted to go home, you really hated hospitals. 

Next day

You were currently home, doing nothing in particular just resting. The first day you got home Naruto was the first one to visit you. Then you team followed, they just wanted to see how you were doing. As for the Hokage, he hasn't talked to you or hasn't requested your presence at his office. 

You heard a knock and stood from the chair you were sitting in. You opened the door to find the Hokage in the middle of two guards. You bowed. " Good afternoon Sir." 

He just smiled.  Then you moved aside to let him in. He entered and motioned the guards to stay outside. After closing the door you went to where you were sitting earlier, he sat next to you. You explained on what happened on you mission, he didn't talk at all just listened. After you gave the details of the mission, he just stayed there thinking but soon left. On his way out he told you that you were free from missions for now, that if he needed your assistance who would send some one to inform you.  

A  day later

The news that Naruto had stolen an important scroll spread across the village fast, that is how they reached your ears. Apparently a man  named Mizuki who was a supposed to be helping students at the academy convinced Naruto to still the scroll. This happened at night and you were not there to  stop Naruto, for two reasons one, your injuries weren't healed and two, it happened at night and the only person who knew about this was Iruka and Naruto and the man who convinced Naruto. 

Iruka  tried to stop Naruto from giving the scroll to the traitor. Naruto believed  in his sensei and of course the traitor wasn't happy about this and so he tried to kill Naruto. Iruka protected Naruto and almost got killed in the process. Naruto got angered and used the multi- shadow clone technique. At the end the traitor got beaten by Naruto and on the bright side, Naruto finally passed the test that he failed earlier, which is the one that he has now mastered. 

 Even if your injuries weren't healed yet  you made your way to where Naruto would be; the ramen shop.  At a slow pase you finally managed to arrive there, once you got close enough you spotted Irika and the golden locks that identified Naruto. Without a second thought you tackled Naruto forgetting about your injuries. 

"What th-" He was surprised to see you. " What is wrong [name]?"

Hugging him you scolded. " What do you mean what is wrong! You almost got killed last night and you're asking me what is wrong?!" You hugged him tighter, and he looked down at you and returned the hug.

 " I am sorry[name]. I shouldn't have done that." 

" Is j-just that I wasn't there to protect you, Naruto. If something bad had happen to you, I don't know what I would do." You closed you eyes. You just could not bare the thought of loosing someone dear to you again. 

"[Name], you know that you will not be there all the time to protect Naruto." Iruka interrupted. 

Opening your eyes you looked at him and without one  more word being said you understood what he meant. You just nodded and released Naruto and stood up, Naruto did the same. "True, but please be more careful Naruto." And so  the three of you stayed there chatting and you con-gratulating  Naruto for getting his headband. 

Some Time Later

Your injuries were fine now but still got no  missions. You just trained on your own or sometimes helped Naruto with his training.  Right now you were heading to the Hokage's office, he had asked you to come. He needed to discuss somethings with you. Reaching the building you headed to his office and entered. You bowed and stood in front of him. " Sir, I am here as you requested." 

"Have a seat, please." He motioned with his hand. "Thank you for coming [Name]. I want  to discuss some things with you. First of all, as you have already noticed, I haven't sent you on missions, the cause  for that is you last mission. I investigated and I have found out the the Akasuki weren't after you because of Naruto. From what I have found out they were after you because the leader wanted to recruit  you. He wanted you to be be part of the organization. I still don't exactly know how they got this information, there were a few who knew about you, those were some AMBU members and I was the was who informed them about it. This is why I have reached a decision. I want you to quit the AMBU. I don't want you to be part of it anymore. It would be too risky to have you go on dangerous missions. If  they get their hands on you they might use you  they might also use you as bait to get to Naturo and we don't want that to happen." He explained.

You stood up after hearing this. " But Si-"

 He didn't let you finish what you were going to say." I understand that you want to protect the village, but  I have something important for you." 

You took a deep bread and sat down on the chair. " What is it that you want me to do, Sir?"

" As you probably know,  it is time that the Academy's students  get into groups, which will be  happening today.  It would  better if you go into each group every now and then, so you can watch every teacher's way of teaching. You also have the choice to  choose whose group you want to go it's up to you. Later on, you may decide what it's best for you, either you teach other students or you go back to the AMBU. Do you understand? " He finished. It sounded like a good plan.

 " Yes,  I understand sir." A bit sad but nodded.

He smiled. " Good, now you may leave. I suggest that you go to the academy  right away and see who is on what team, so you can become familiar with them. You are dismissed" He informed so you could head to your destination. 

Without saying anything else you bowed and left; making your way to the academy. 

Arriving there to the academy only took you a couple of minutes, once you reached Iruka's classroom you knocked. Iruka opened the door and smiled. " Can I help you?". 

You nodded. " The Hokage  sent me here, I am supposed to see who is in each team. I will be going from group to group to see  the teacher's ways of teaching." You explained.

 He just nodded and moved aside. As soon as the students spotted you, were curious to know who you were. Some were thinking that it was a bit too late for you to go to the academy. (they were not able to see who you were when you substituted Iruka and at the time that you were the substitute. You suppressed you chackra; that is also why they don't know your chackra signature). 

Looking around you just stood next to the desk and waited for Iruka to continue what he was doing.  You stood there looking at what everyone was doing, it was the same as the day you were the substitute to this class; some students were sleeping others chatting and as expected some girls were still discussing who would sit with Sasuke. Naruto wasn't so happy and decided to get on top of the desk in front of Sasuke's and they just glared at each other.  One of the girls  Sakura as you recalled, scolded Naruto. 

" Naruto Stop glaring as Sasuke!". And the rest of the group of girls started to talk at the same time making it hard to understand what they were saying. 

Then a kid sitting behind Naruto moved bumping into Naruto then kid turned around, " Sorry did I bother you." He apologized.

 "What the-" Was all Sakura said as she saw the scene.Naruto and Sasuke were so close that when the  kid bumped into  Naruto,it  caused the accidental kiss between Naruto and Sasuke.   Oh, dear god, now what? You thought.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sakura yelled in disgust. Soon Naruto and Sasuke got away from each other coughing.  

Naruto turned around to find an angry group of girls. "Naruto you are so dead." The pink haired girl threatened Naruto. 

" It was an accident." He defended. 

Then Iruka interrupted. " As of today you are all ninjas. To get here you have faced difficult trials and hardships but that's nothing. What comes next is much more difficult, now you are only Gening first level ninjas. All of Gening will be teamed into 3 man squad.  Each squad will be lead by a Jonin,  an elite ninja. " He informed. 

You looked around and spotted Naruto who was beaten up but after he and the rest of students heard that they were going to be divided into a three man squad began to discuss who they were going to be with. As you suspected, some girls started to dicuss who was going to be teamed up with Sasuke. This started to irritate you. Your eyes rested on said boy. What does he have that all the girls are after him. you thought. To you he only looked arrogant and always kept ignoring people.

 He might have felt your stare because he directed his eyes towards you. You guys made eye contact but you didn't look away. He probably thought that you were another fan girl because he had an annoyed expression and looked away.  

Iruka kept informing. "We want each squad to have a balance of strength and abilities that is how we set them up. I will now announce the names of the squads. Squad seven Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha." Naruto was happy to hear that Sakura was on his team but at hearing Sasuke's name he got upset. Sakura was more than happy to be in Sasuke's team. 

"Next squad, eight ,Hinata Hyuga, Kiba inuzuca, Shino Aburame." Hinata seemed a bit sad and then looked at Naruto.

"Now squad ten, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi. Those are all the students, until then, class dismissed." 

You were getting ready to leave and wait for Naruto outside but a random student asked. "Sensei, what about her?" He pointed to your direction.

Iruka looked at you and a smirk adorned his face. " She is not a student anymore." He explained. 

" What do you mean?" another kid asked. 

"Well, you see she might be young but  she is already a Joinin." He informed. 

" Wait, but she is our age. She can't be a Joning already." Sakura complained , a hint of jealousy  in her voice. 

 Iruka laughed. " Well, why don't we let her speak for herself." He motioned for you to speak up. 

" Well, as you already know I am [name], a Joinin." You introduced yourself. 

"But why are you here if you are a Joinin." Another kid asked. 

" BECAUSE SHE IS ASWOME! SHE IS ALSO AN  EX-ANBU MEMBER! BELIEVE IT!" Proudly Naruto answered for you. 

"WAIT WHAT! " Everyone yelled.  

"That is not true Naruto, why would your girlfriend be an AMBU? She can't be THAT strong. Naruto is lying right Sensei?" Sakura coolly stated.

 Naruto blushed when Sakura mentioned you being his girlfriend. "Hate to disappoint you Sakura, but he is right. Let [name] continue." Looking at Sakura Iruka answered. Her mouth was opened with shock.  

You just continued. " Yes, I used to be a member of the ANBU. And as for Naruto being my boyfriend he is not, although there is nothing wrong if it were true, but that does not matter.I am going to ask you Sakura to please be respectful  to those above your level." She was getting on your bad side, and as for some students some looked shocked. " Now as I was saying, I am here because the Hokage has requested it. I will be seeing some  of the groups to see each of your Sensei's ways of teaching, but while I am at it I will gladly be willing to help the students. I think that is all that is needed to be said." And so you made your way to the exit. The students were also eager to get out of there.  

You leaned on the wall just right on the opposite side of the door waiting for Naruto. Some students spotted you they waited and seemed like wanting to ask something. Then Sasuke exited the door and glanced at you, but as soon as you saw Naruto who was right behind Sasuke you approached him. "Where are you going to go?". you simply asked.

 From the others point of view it  seemed that you were actually talking to Sasuke, who annoyed answered. " Why do you care? Get lost."

You furrowed your eyebrows. "What? Is there a problem? I wasn't talking to you. I was asking Naruto." You tilted your head. "Ready to go Naruto?"

 Many students gasped. " WHY YOU! HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE SASUKE?" Ino and Sakura screamed making Shikamaru wince. 

You turned  around to look at them. " I don't see what is so special about him." They fell flat on their faces and as for Sasuke, he  just 'humned' and left. 

 "W-well, I  was going somewhere else, if you don't mind."Naruto scratched the back of his neck.  

"Nope, not at all. Well see ya' later then." Without another word said you left.
