Blinding Love (Naruto Love Story)

11~ Chunin Exams (1/2)

A/N: I'm so excited to write this chapter. Finally for one moment Sakura isn't helpless (I still love her either way) and Yue can finally show how kick ass she is.

After coming back from their last mission everyone had been training harder than ever. Yue training with her grandmother would sound easy to others, but Gran did not go easy on Yue and training was much more exhausting than ever. With her hair in her signature half down and up in two pigtails, Yue walks to the meeting place she is supposed to meet the team.

"Did you hear there is a sale going on at Hana's." Yue stops hearing the two girls run past her. A sale at my favorite store! She was going to change directions, but she couldn't. But Kakashi would be late anyone, so she could just stop by the store and look around for a little. Deciding to do just that, Yue runs past the two running girls to get to the store.

The sale seemed to attract a lot of attention. Inside the store a lot of girls were inside running around trying to get clothes. I'll never get through this. "Yue, you're here." Yue looks behind her seeing Hana the shop owner walks towards her. "I didn't have time to tell you about the sell and you been away for a while so there was never a time to tell you."

"oh, it's okay." Yue smiles. "I just came to look. Gran says I should focus more on my training rather than my looks, but I can look good and train." Hana chuckles at Yue. Hana is around the same age as her mother, and she always loved when Yue would come by the store as she looked to play dress up with Yue. Though the young girl didn't need any help, Yue has a sense for fashion and always came in once a week to find something new to wear. However, now the young girl hardly ever stopped by, and when she did, she would buy a bundle of the same clothes, because her clothes were ruined on missions, training, or her younger cousin Yume had snipped her clothes for her dolls.

"I can't grantee anything will be left after the sale, but we are getting new clothes this coming week."

"okay, thanks Hana. Hopefully I can stop by later."

Just as she expected Kakashi hadn't made it to their meeting spot. Always late.

"Good morning Yue!" Naruto shouts seeing Yue walk up to the group of three. "What's up?"

"oh nothing. I stopped by Hana, sorry I'm a little late."

"that's okay, you're here now." Sakura looked between Naruto and Yue seeing the heart shaped eyes Naruto giving Yue which didn't go unnoticed by Yue.

Just as Sakura had been chasing after Sasuke, Naruto had been chasing after Yue. Of course, Yue knows about Naruto's crush on her, but she never thought anything of it really. To her she thought it was a phase or that Naruto only liked her because she is nice or more friendly towards him more than others. He was looking for someone to feel that empty spot of someone caring. A sister figure. Or so Yue thought.

"Hey Sasuke, why are you standing off by yourself?" Sasuke only looked in Yue's direction, gave a shrug, but never said anything. Jumping up onto the railing that Sasuke is leaning on, Yue swings her legs back and forth. When Kakashi didn't show up for another hour, the four grew tired of waiting.

"We do this to ourselves every time. Maybe we should just show up late." Yue sighs tapping her fingers on the rail of the bridge.

"Hey guys. Good morning. Sorry I'm late. I got lost on the path of life." The four look up seeing Kakashi squatting on the arch on the bridge. All four are irradiated by his lateness and his lame excuse for being late. Again.
