Fine art: Resurrection
A small figure stumbled through the streets of Konoah. Blood leaking from his wounds. The senbon where dug deep into his back. His eyes scanned the area before him, making sure that the boy wasn't tailing him anymore. He was the lead designer for a plan to turn half of the Village in the Mist into a training ground. A while ago the Village in the Mist didn't need protection, because they had the sea and Fog. But now 'The Great Naruto Bridge' bridged The Mist Village and the other countries, leaving it open for attackers. This boy that attacked him, claimed that something he cared about was in the area that would be turned into a training yard.
The man fell at the gate of Konoah. His hands felt the dirt as tears streamed from his eyes.
"I can't…DIE!" The man yelled trying to pull himself up.
"Help! He-" He was cut off by a senbon piercing his throat.
"No one will help you" A cold voice sounded in his ear.
The man's eyes rolled back and he muttered one last thing…"You're just a boy"
Naruto felt his dresser for his alarm clock, finding it he chunked it out the window to hear a loud: OUCH! The blonde boy got up and took his nightcap off. His blue eyes scanned his room, and the sunrise piercing through his windows. He stumbled out of his bed, taking his sleeper shirt off he noticed his fine tan.
"Nice" he smiled, brushing his messy hair back. There was a knock at the door, making Naruto suspicious.
"Come in!" he barked. When in strolled…
"Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked, stepping back slightly.
"N-Naruto-kun th-they wanted me t-to tell you there is going t-to be a ceremony for the Chunin at the park" Hinata stammered.
"Okay" Naruto smiled. Hinata blushed noticing his shirtless-ness
"Um…Naruto-kun…" Hinata blushed.
"Oh, sorry" Naruto smiled He slipped on a sleeveless shirt and led her to the door.
"When is it?" he asked her looking into her clear eyes.
"T-tomorrow!" She smiled, slamming the door and slinking off into the staircase.
"Man I think she has a mental issue or something…she's paranoid!" Naruto yelled, throwing his hands into the air. He then he changed into his Blue T-shirt and orange pants, Today like the past few weeks was going to be extremely hot. Naruto stepped outside, looking at the clear blue sky. There was a gentle breeze blowing through. The village seemed normal and quiet…wait…quiet?
"Where is every one?" Naruto asked himself, looking around, his mind racing. "And who throws a party?"
------ELSEWHERE-----------------------------------------------
Hatake Kakashi stood up in front of Guy-sensei and the other teachers.
"But Lord Hokage, we're dealing with a very precise and dangerous boy who knows what he's doing" Kakashi stated.
"Yes but they NEED the training Kakashi-sensei"
"They HAVE the training Hokage-sama" Kakashi fired back.
"I'm not putting my students on a body guarding mission for the other 8 members of this….this…." Asuma looked around trying to find the word that would finish Kakashi's sentence.
"Construction team" the Hokage smiled.
"Sir my team has had experience with Ninja from the Mist village and this character seems like one of them"
"But Kakashi you said they where both dead" The Hokage insisted.
"They are Hokage-sama!" Kakashi retaliated before the Hokage replied: "Maybe this is a relative or-"
"In-correct" A loud voice butted in. Anko entered the room with Naruto.
"Anko-san brought me up here because I kinda ran over a chicken on my way to the ramen joint but-"
"-Naruto!-" Kakashi barley butted in before Naruto snapped at the Hokage…
"And old man Haku doesn't have any relatives!" Naruto yelled. " And why was there no one in the streets except Anko-san and Hinata-chan who vanished!"
"Naruto…The Hokage wants us to protect some construction workers passing through the village" Kakashi sighed.
"But what about the party?" Naruto asked.
"It's a ceremony" the Hokage corrected. "For all those who are going into the next stage of the Exam"
"But I'll miss the-"
"-Chance to kiss Hinata-chan?" Anko laughed. Naruto blushed and was about to launch into something when-
"Kakashi you will lead Hyuuga Hinata, Uzumaki Naruto, and Rock lee as they protect-"
"Hokage-sama I will be training the Uchiha boy" Kakashi replied calmly. Naruto's eyes widened but the Hokage got there first… "Okay…then they will be led by Might Guy!" Guy butted in standing up. "But Hokage-sama may I ask why them?". "yes. The Byakugan, Naruto's special abilities and cunning, and Lee's-"
"-Power of Youth?" Guy beamed.
"Taijutsu" the old man corrected. Naruto straightened his headband his deep blue eyes gazing over the teachers. "Come on Old man! I gotta' fight Negi soon I can't protect these people and answer me as to why-"
"-I told them to stay in their homes as we make the appropriate decorations to the Village" The Hokage sighed.
"And you can't protect these people?" The Hokage yelled stirring a little. "That's why you are-"
"-A tool?" Naruto lashed back his eyes set into a glare.
"That's all we are! Tools!" Naruto yelled. "But ya' know what old man…I'm gonna' protect them and I'll kick any one's ass who gets in my way!" Naruto finished leaving the teachers in shock. A cloud past over the sun causing eerie shadows to be cast over the Hokage.
"You all are dismissed" The Hokage whispered. The teachers bowing slightly and exiting the room. Anko shook her head and sighed. "I have to go" She smiled grabbing Naruto and yanked him into the hallway.
---------The Training Grounds---Memorial Stone-------
A evil looking figure leaned against the stone, His gray hands wrapped around the edge of it. His snake-like eyes glanced over it. His eyes glanced around. He was trying to avoid suspicion from the 2 Jounin standing around. This man had long black hair and a straw hat that made his face look black from the nose up.
"hey you!" one Jounin yelled recognizing his look. The man threw the hat off. He dashed at one, unsheathing his sword and slicing this man's side. The other popped a scroll out of the pocket as the sword dug through his stomach.
"My Katana could kill you and your fancy scrolls and kunai couldn't do crap" The man hissed. "My plan will soon succeed…I will rule these lands…"
