"You have got to be kidding me." Sumi groaned
"What?" Naruto replied. "He's a great teacher."
"I'm older than he is!" She complained. "And he's sleeping in the middle of the day."
"Trying to sleep, but it turned out to be troublesome." A lazy voice emerged from the figure on the ground.
"C'mon, Shikamaru." Naruto whined. "Granny Tsunade said you would do it."
"Ugh," Shikamaru grunted as he sat up. "Once again, women are troublesome." He turned his gaze on Naruto. "And you should have more respect for the Hokage. I don't understand why she lets you get away with calling her that appalling name."
"Wait a minute!" Sumi screamed. "What do you mean women are troublesome!"
"Eh!" Shikamaru huffed. "They just are." At the end of his statement, he was abruptly smacked in the back of the head.
"I'm sorry" The young woman stated. "He's like an old man, so set in his ways. I'm trying to break him of it, but he's as stubborn as they come."
"Temari, I told you not to do that." Shikamaru complained. "Why must you be so troublesome?" Even though he was whining, he did it with a grin on his face that said he meant otherwise. Temari reached over and ruffled his hair.
"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked.
"Gaara, Kankurou, and I had a mission to lead someone here." She explained. "Then we're supposed to stay and escort the circus back to our village when it leaves. So, of course I had to come visit this pain in the ass." She punched Shikamaru in the arm.
"Cut it out." He spat.
"Ah, anyway, it should be fun to teach some body. It should pass some time." Temari stuck out her hand to Sumi. "You know my name, so what's your's?"
"It's Sumi." She took the offered hand.
"She used to be with the circus, but she's decided on a change." Naruto explained.
"You can't just decide to be a ninja." Shikamaru stated.
"Actually, I'm not allowed to be a ninja." She exposed her arms. "I have tattoos."
"You did these?" Temari asked as she stepped up to inspect them. "Why?"
"It's a long story, but lets just say that it's kept me alive." Sumi responded.
"Well then, how about we see what you can do?" Temari took a battle stance.
"What?" Sumi gasped as Temari opened her fan.
"She's challenging you to a fight." Shikamaru explained. "Might as well, it'll let me get an idea of where you're at. Makes teaching you less troublesome."
"Hey!" Sumi shouted.
"I'm not waiting on you." Temari stated as she swung her fan. The air current pushed Sumi backwards.
"She's taking it easy on you right now." Naruto said. "You might want to start fighting back."
"That's taking it easy?" Sumi felt a little sick. "I'm gonna die!"
"I know you can do it!" Naruto shouted.
"I guess." Sumi took a deep breath, and the vines on her arms shot out through her hands. They dodged around Temari and grabbed her fan. Temari turned and tried to kick the vines away, but one just wrapped around her foot and held it in place.
The remaining vines snatched the fan, and shut it. Temari had managed to pull her foot from the one that had been binding it, but could not turn fast enough to retrieve her weapon. She was able jump out of the way as a dagger flew at her.
Sumi threw the fan well out of reach as Temari ran at her. Somehow dodging all of the vines along the way. Once she reached her enemy, she punched Sumi right in the face. The girl fell like a wet bag of sand. Temari stared blankly as Sumi's body hit the ground. The minute she made contact with the dirt, the vines and dagger returned to her faster than anyone could blink.
"I didn't hit her that hard." Temari whispered.
"How troublesome." Shikamaru stated. Naruto just stared with his mouth open.
"She didn't even dodge that fist," Temari stated, "it was almost like she couldn't even see me."
"Well, it looks like we'll have to start from scratch." Shikamaru whined. He walked over with Naruto to lift Sumi off the ground and attempt to revive her. Temari ran over to retrieve her fan. She brought it back and used it to start a small breeze to blow on Sumi.
Shikamaru smiled at her. 'Sometimes she can be really gentle.' His father's words came back to him. He had witnessed Temari leveling a whole forest with the fan that she was now using to help revive someone. He sighed to himself before he spoke.
"This really will be troublesome."

"It seems you have no hand to hand combat skills, zero sensory ability, and you cant even evade simple attacks." Shikamaru listed off the problems.
"Geez, rub it in why don't ya?" Sumi grumbled as she nursed her black eye.
"I see that hand to hand should be the first thing you need to learn, and I would have to say that Lee would be the best person to teach you, since Gai is currently running missions." He sat down on the ground and leaned against a tree. "At least then you'll be able to do something for yourself, though how you're going to protect Naruto is beyond me. If he could focus on his abilities as much as he focuses on Sasuke, then he would have a better chance of getting him back."
"You have no right to say anything about that!" Naruto stood and came face to face with Shikamaru. "If you think that's the problem, then I'll train right along with Sumi!"
"Eh!" He shouted back. "What good are basic techniques going to do you?"
"I'll build on them even more, even the Hokage needs to do simple things." Naruto huffed.
"That made absolutely no sense, but knock yourself out." He stretched. "Go find Lee, I'm gonna try and finish what you interrupted."
"Like hell you are." Temari jumped from the tree branch she was sitting in. "I'm hungry, so we're getting something to eat." She grabbed Shikamaru by the scruff of his neck and drug him off towards the center of the village.
"Wow! She's got him wrapped around her finger." Sumi said.
"The funny part is that she isn't even his girlfriend." Naruto stated.
"What?" Sumi was shocked. "They act like they're married."
"I know it's weird, but Shikamaru has a distinct dislike for women. Even his own mother, but if you think about it, Temari doesn't act too much like a lady." Naruto rubbed his chin. "I guess we better get some lunch too, then go find Lee."
"Okay, I guess." Sumi stood, and followed Naruto as he walked to the ramen stand that they had eaten at the day before.
~*~
"Oh, hello again." The waitress smiled. "It seems we have a new regular."
"Hello." Sumi replied.
The two made their orders and began their meals. After a second bowl, Naruto's stomach made a strange noise.
"I have to go for a moment." He stated. "Don't worry mister, I'll be right back!" He shouted to the owner. The only response was an acknowledging grunt.
Sumi continued to consume. She even asked for another bowl. She was digging into it when the curtain pulled back.
"Hey Nar....oh! I'm sorry." The man that had stepped in corrected himself. Sumi just blinked at him. She still had some noodles hanging out of her mouth as if she had stopped mid-slurp. "I heard the noise and thought it was someone else." The man explained.
Sumi sucked in the rest of the noodles and swallowed hard. She hadn't realized that she made that much noise, and was now embarrassed since a rather handsome man had heard her making them.
"Iruka!" Naruto chimed as he hugged the man.
"Oh, there you are Naruto." The man smiled. "I should have known this young lady couldn't have emptied all these bowls on her own. Would you care to introduce us?"
"Sure, this is Sumi." He gestured as he spoke. "Sumi this is Iruka."
"Hi." Sumi was dumbfounded.
"Hello." Iruka replied a little confused. "You were in the circus right? The illusion girl." turned to Naruto. "Did you pick a girlfriend up from the circus?"
"No!" Naruto shouted. "Granny Tsunade wants me to get her trained as my bodyguard so the ANBU can be used for other missions!"
"Sorry, my mistake." Iruka laughed. "It was nice meeting you Sumi."
"Hi." She repeated.
"Okay," Iruka said, "Maybe we'll have lunch sometime Naruto." He ducked out, leaving Naruto giving Sumi a strange look.
"Hi." She said again, still in a daze.
