The Bribe?
Summary: What happens if Kakashi actually begged the Hokage to make Naruto in his group? And for what reason would he ask for this? Find out.
I do not own Naruto. So the characters I use for this fiction are not mine.
Prologue
"I'm begging you Lord Hokage…have I ever asked you anything like this before? Please? Just this once?" The jonin whined but ended up just making the old man sigh.
"I don't understand why you would want Naruto to be on your team. I thought you hated 'loud mouthed brats' and he happens to fall into that category. Or is there a different reason why you would want him in your team?" Seeing there was no other answer the Hokage took a deep breath moving his long pipe to rest as he closed his eyes to think. "I suppose…it wouldn't hurt to have him in your group. After all you are one of the best…"
"Correction Lord Hokage if I may. I AM the best" Kakashi grinned
Shaking his head the old man stood up "Well I suppose I shall take you to where Naruto lives though he's in class…I have to tell you some things about him"
Happily the scarecrow savored his victory as he headed after the Hokage in a bouncy way making the Hokage regret what he was doing. "Kakashi, I don't know why you're so happy about this but…Naruto isn't an easy boy to manage." Opening the door he lead the silver-haired man into the room.
"Talk about dirty…" The jonin snorted smelling old laundry and leftover food on the floor. Walking over to a table he noticed a carton of milk lying on the kitchen table and stared at it "…it's over dated. What a nasty kid…Not that it matters…it'll all be worth it later on."
The two were quiet for a moment before the Hokage decided to speak once more "You're the best we have Kakashi and you have ways to sniff things out…so I guess this job would be perfect for you. Think of this as a mission to make this boy into a true ninja as he wants to become."
"And a hard mission that would be" The jonin sighed walking out of the room in distress. "It'll be worth it…it'll be worth it"
Later in a classroom…Naruto sat at an edge of his seat pouting after hearing about his groups. "Why do I have to be with that moron?" He shouted angrily as he pointed at the quiet Sasuke, who didn't seem so thrilled as well. "I don't like him! I don' t mind having Sakura on my team but…"
"Shut up Naruto! I want Sasuke on my team! The only person I don't want on my team is YOU!" The pink-haired girl cried in annoyance.
"ENOUGH!" Iruka shouted loudly "It doesn't matter, the Hokage chose these teams himself so if you want to go and complain go to him yourself. No 'buts' Naruto. Sasuke happens to be the best students in this class and if it weren't for you to pass the test you'd be at rock bottom right now. In fact its better for you to team up with Sasuke, that way you'll learn more things from him as a team."
"Try to keep up dunce" Sasuke smirked as he stared at a very angry Naruto.
The blonde once more stood up pointing his finger at the boy "What do you want to do? Start a fight?"
Sighing Iruka sat on his chair exhausted, but he was worth seeing Naruto being like this…and he wouldn't want to child to change. The boy was like a son to him…he couldn't help but worry about the group leader "Kakashi…who is that…I should invite Lord Hokage for lunch and ask him about this man…" Looking up he let out another sigh to see Naruto complaining still "All right class dismissed…" He mumbled "Don't forget to meet up with you group leaders now…" As everyone left Iruka watched Naruto leaving sadly, the nose-scared teacher was going to be lonely deeply. "I'll miss you Naruto…so be careful and not cause trouble as you always do." Smiling he sorted out his papers to prepare for his new class of freshmen's.
After all preparations were finished Iruka stood up to make an appointment with the Hokage, walking through the hallway the Chunin bumped into another man. "Oh I'm sorry." The teacher gasped as he turned around to pick up the book the person had dropped "I suppose I was in a bit of a hurry to see Lord Hokage that I wasn't…paying…attention…." He stopped talking once he saw the book he was holding "Icha Icha Paradise" a naughty book? Disgusted the teacher's face didn't change at all although his mind was wanting to get away from this person as quick as possible.
"Oh…its not big…deal" Kakashi's eyes laid eyes on the beautiful (in Kakashi's eyes) Iruka. "…I….wasn't paying attention to where I was going either." He felt lucky that he was wearing his mask or his red face would give away everything. "Um…" He also noticed the chunin's stuttering uses of words and smirked. The sensai MUST feel the same way for Kakashi….or was it the book? Sadly it was the book since Iruka was gone once the book was returned "That wasn't good…" Depressed the jonin walked his way, he was late to meet his team but it didn't matter…Iruaka didn't like him….
"Lord Hokage?" The young man peeked his head into the large office as the old man started his pipe. "May I ask you something if you don't mind?"
"Very well Iruaka…what is it?"
"I was hoping if you'd like to join me for lunch later today…will it be possible to arrange a meeting?"
Everyone in the room stopped to pay attention to the Hokage and Iruka, was he asking the old man on a DATE? Suddenly whispers roamed around the rooms while Iruaka started to shout "ITS NOT A DATE!! I JUST WANTED TO ASK HIM SOMETHING PERSONALLY!!" The room was finally settled as everyone went back to work.
Coughing the Hokage felt a little disappointed oddly but looked at the younger male "Very well…I shall meet you for lunch later on. I'm assuming its all about Naruto isn't it? And his new teams…"
"Yes Lord Hokage…I'm extremely worried about Naruto's future…so I have to know what kind of leader he has to become a true ninja. I don't want him to fail his dream on becoming the next Hokage…Not that I'm saying I want him to overthrow you but…I just want to see him achieve his dream."
"I understand Iruak…now go along and greet your new students…I'll meet with you after your new class if over with, is that fine with you?"
Smiling the dolphin man smiled "Agreed and thank you."
Note: I never read Naruto…maybe like the first three books of it….and I knew I liked the pairing Iruka and Kakashi…since I heard their little 'Tango dance' (they have nice voices). Anyway…Iruka is my favorite character, he's such a nice guy. Maybe a little too nice which is why I love him so much. The other characters…are a little out of my taste…
Please review…this is my first and last Naruto fiction…so if there are not reveiws the no more chapters and I'll just throw this away/
