A new story has arrived! This is my first attempt at a serious Naruto fanfic. I hope I won't disappoint! Actually, this is not exactly my style, so it probably won't be very good, but oh well! I just really, really had to write it! It's pretty much your typical 'the Naruto characters' kids' story. Anyway, please review with constructive criticism! Like all of my other stories, I have some form of vague idea before I write, but I mostly make up stuff as I go along. Enjoy!
Pairings: Well, my sister (TejiLuver) thinks that pairings are important to state before the actual story (especially NejixTenten), but I'm not her! Don't worry, most of the pairings are the popular ones. Nothing too strange (like TentenxKankuro or ShinoxSakura. Those are just a little too weird for me.)
Warning: This chapter is not very entertaining. It is kind of a prologue. If, at any point, you get bored, please skip to the next chapter. Chapter two is kind of the real chapter one (if that makes any sense to you). In my opinion, next chapter is MUCH more entertaining. I am not recommending that you skip this chapter without giving it a try, though. Please, read it if you can. I'm just saying that it does not represent the story to come. That is all.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or anything else mentioned in this story. In fact, I don't even know if I own the story…..
Norito Uzumaki: The Next Generation of Naruto
Chapter 1: Enter: The Uzumaki and Uchiha Families
It was a bright, sunny day in Konaha. Most people were out and about, going on with their normal routines, and some were even enjoying themselves. This only made the students in the Academy even more anxious and fidgety. Their teacher was a professional, and took notice of their behavior.
"Well, since you guys can't seem to focus, I guess I'll just dismiss class early today. Just make sure to get some practice in this afternoon!" said the teacher. He had grey hair, dark brown eyes, and a horizontal scar on his face. At these words, all of the students began packing up their things and heading out the door.
"Thanks old man Iruka-sensei!" said one student. He was twelve years old and had spiky blond hair and big blue eyes. Iruka looked at his student affectionately.
"Not at all, Norito." said Iruka. "Just go on home, and say hi to your parents for me."
"I will!" said Norito. He gathered his things and walked up to a girl. She had long, dark, purple hair and large, pale lavender eyes. She looked at him as he approached her.
"Are you ready to go, Usagi?" Norito asked, sounding just as excited as ever.
"Yes; let's go." said Usagi with a small smile on her face. The two walked out of the room together.
"So, where do you wanna practice today?" asked Norito as they were walking down the street.
"I don't care, what ever you want to do is fine with me." said Usagi.
"How about training field seven?" asked Norito.
"That sounds good." said Usagi.
"Old man Iruka-sensei told me to say hi to mom and dad for him."
"Alright" said Usagi, as they approached their house. It wasn't anything to big or fancy; it was just a normal house. To them, though, it was home. They opened the door to find their mom making tea in the kitchen, and their dad sitting at the kitchen table, with his head down.
"Dad's back!" said Norito excitedly. The two kids rushed to their father to greet him. He looked a lot like his son, with spiky blond hair and blue eyes. The only difference was the small black lines on his face.
"Hey kids." he said, lifting up his head. "How was class today?"
"Good! Old man Iruka-sensei let us out early today. Oh, he told us to tell you that he says hi." said Norito.
"Here's your tea." said Norito and Usagi's mom, Hinata Uzumaki. She looked like an older form of Usagi, with her long hair back in a pony tail. She put the tea on the table in front of her husband and took a seat.
"That's nice" said Naruto.
"Sorry we can't stay longer, but we need to go train. We'll see you guys later!" said Norito, heading out the door, with Usagi following him.
"Where are you going?" asked Hinata.
"Training field seven!" shouted Norito. Usagi popped her head back in the doorway.
"We'll be back by dinner." she said. Then she and her brother ran out of the house, and all the way to the training field. When they got there, they realized that they weren't the only ones who wanted to train there today.
"No! You're doing it wrong! Try it like this." said a boy Norito and Usagi's age with black, spiky hair and black eyes. He took in a deep breath, and exhaled a large amount of fire.
"Ok, I'll try." said a little girl. She looked to be about eight or so with long, black hair and large green eyes. She took a deep breath as well, but when she exhaled, only a small stream of fire came out. She seemed pleased with herself, though.
"Sachio, look, I did it!" said the girl excitedly. The boy sighed.
"Good job! But that's only a first step. You need to keep trying and trying, so you will be able to do like I can, Suki. You need to learn the Uchiha traditions." replied Sachio.
"Hey Sachio!" said Norito as he and Usagi walked onto the training ground.
"Hi Norito; hi Usagi." said Sachio coolly.
"Usagi-chan! Norito-san!" said Suki, running up to the two and giving them both a hug. The Uzumaki family spent a lot of time with the Uchiha family, mainly because their parents were really good friends.
"Hey Suki! Can we practice with you guys?" asked Norito.
"Sure; I've been in need of a sparing partner lately." said Sachio with a smirk.
"YOU'RE ON!" screamed Norito. Usagi and Suki went over to the side, and Usagi helped Suki with some physical techniques. In the middle of the training field, Norito and Sachio started fighting. It wasn't very interesting; just a bunch of kicks and such. Because they were such good friends, they went easy on each other. Norito punched, Sachio ducked and tried to knock Norito off his feet, but Norito jumped. This went on for a while. Then, one of the times when Norito had tried to knock Sachio off his feet, Sachio wasn't paying attention, and accidentally fell the wrong way, twisting his ankle.
"Are you ok?" asked Norito, going over to help his friend. Sachio took a deep breath.
"Fine; let's just call it a day." he said. Norito helped Sachio to his feet, and supported him as they walked over to their sisters. Suki was lying on the ground, panting heavily. Usagi was resting against a tree.
"I'm going to walk Sachio home. Are you coming with?" Norito asked his sister.
"Can't….. move……." said Suki.
"Sure. Suki, do you want to ride on my back?" asked Usagi, sounding concerned.
"Please!" said Suki. Usagi helped Suki on to her back, and the four made their way to Sachio and Suki's home. It was near the Uzumaki house, and it resembled it a lot, too. Once there, Norito knocked on the door. The door opened, revealing Sakura Uchiha. She had short, pink hair and big, light green eyes, like her daughter.
"What happened?" she asked, sounding concerned.
"We were just training, mom." said Sachio. "I tripped and Suki just got tired. That's all."
"Alright; come in." said Sakura. She led them into the living room. It was a very cozy room, with a fire going, a couch, and many chairs. Sachio and Suki's dad, Sasuke, was sitting in one of the chairs, reading over an official looking document. He looked a lot like his son, with black hair and black eyes, but he had many scars, including one that ran across his cheek. Suki was laid across the couch. Apparently, on the way over, she had fallen asleep. Usagi and Norito each sat in a chair. Sachio sat in a big chair, his leg being supported by a stood. Sakura pulled up a chair next to Sachio and she began to tend to his leg. Because she was a medical ninja, she was able to easily heal his ankle. During this time, Sasuke put down his papers and watched his family.
"What happened?" he asked when Sakura was done healing Sachio's ankle.
"I just tripped." said Sachio. He always seemed colder to his dad then anybody else.
"Be more careful next time." said Sasuke. He picked his papers back up and continued reading. The room was silent for a minute.
"Thank you for bringing them home. Why don't you head on back? Tell your parents we say hi." said Sakura to Norito and Usagi.
"We will." said Norito. "See you guys later!" He and Usagi quickly left the Uchiha house and ran to their home.
Sorry guys! I know this is a little bland, but it will get better! This chapter and next chapter are just setting up the characters. Trust me; next chapter will be lots of fun! You will get to meet everybody else's kids! You won't believe who the most popular girl in the class is! After that, we start setting up the plot. OOOOOOO! Won't that be fun? Next chapter should be out soon!
Also, I just wanted to clear up a few things. For those who didn't catch it, Norito and Usagi are twins, and Hinata and Naruto are their parents. Norito's best friend is Sachio. Sachio is about four years older then his sister, Suki. Sakura and Sasuke are Sachio and Suki's parents (so... many... S names...). Sorry for any confusion. Please review!
