The jinchūrikis
Episode: I
Chapter One: Uzumakis
Over the years it wasn't uncommon for powerful clans to go extinct or to be on verge of utter annihilation. The Uzumaki clan was amongst the most powerful to join the many casualties of shinobi affairs. They were so large that they had their own nation and a heavy population to back it up. Uzushiogakure was located eastward of the Land of Fire. Uzushiogakure was made up of five islands. One large island to the north which was used for trading and farming. The second island is the main island and is the hub of all Uzushio. It is where all political affairs are settled. The three small islands are used Shinobi training, and ship making.
The Uzumakis were a proud people that fought alongside Konoha during the great shinobi war. They drove fear into the hearts of many they came into conflict with. Their skills in Fūinjutsu were unparalleled. These skills the sealing arts is what brought them to power. Three out of the five great elemental villages saw them as a huge threat that could not go unchecked any longer.
Before the attack on the island nation, Uzushiogakure sent Konoha a great gift, a person with such great abilities she could restrain a bijū of any tail. Her name was Uzumaki Kushina. A hotheaded, frightening young girl, that would one day take over as Konoha's new Jinchūriki. It would only strengthen the bond between the two villages.
After a couple months, after sending Konoha's new kyuubi container, Uzushiogakure found itself fighting once again. They were invaded by two of the five great nations, as they were caught off guard by Kumogakure no Sato, and Kirigakure no Sato with Iwagakure no sato expeditionary forces. Kirigakure had successfully navigated their way through the whirlpools and storms that gave Uzushiogakure its name. They were relentless with their invasion. They killed as many Uzumakis they could get there hands on. The victory did not come without a heavy cost. Uzushiogakure wasn't going down without a fight.
The fighting was long and very costly for all sides and the Uzumaki were for good reason feared throughout the world, the siege lasted for seven days. A week for all of you who likes conversion.
Seeing there was no way of winning they scattered, driven from their homelands, and forced to scatter all over the shinobi world. Changing their names dying their naturally bright red hair in order to protect their loved ones and themselves.
The official reports on the battle were destroyed and lost to time. It was hinted on by veterans of invasion that both Major hidden villages lost a jinchūriki each during the fighting. Another fact of the battle that surface in later years after the invasion was that the prince and his honor guard were never found.
Over the years the Uzumakis were hunted down and slaughtered like animals, until they were on the brink of destruction. Just when all hope seemed to be lost for the clan to retain their former glory a new hope gave way…
X-x
Uzumaki Naruto was once a hyperactive youth. He had so much energy that he put some low-level Jounin to shame with his raw endurance. Now days he seemed far more calm and collected and more aware. He still hadn't given up his dream of being accept in the village, he still wanted to be the Hokage. He just realized how much harder it was going to be now.
Then there was Uzumaki Fumiko. She wasn't like most of girls in her class. She was quiet and kept to herself most of time when she was not with her brother, but when he was with her she was easy going and cheery. She was incredibly fond of her brother as he would stand up for himself and her. She really didn't need his help when it came to bullies. She could handle herself fine, but she still appreciated his help nonetheless.
The Uzumaki twins. They both share bight yellow hair, sparkling blue eyes, and six whisker marks, three on each cheeks. Naruto has short spiky hair to his sisters long hair that she left a mess now compared to the dual ponytails she use to wear. His sister had taken a turn for the utter worse after a certain 'event' in the village.
Naruto didn't really have much but the one thing he did have, he placed it above his own life and would gladly die for it. His twin sister. It was the only thing he had left in this village. They were the most hated pair in the village before and after 'The Event'. It was hard to accept that people really hate them that much that they would do such a thing. They hated them for something that wasn't even under their control. Technically speaking they hated the bijū living inside of him. Well that was before the incident anyway. Now they didn't hate them, no they feared them to a large extent.
Back before the event had happened the villagers only hated him and allowed Fumiko to do whatever she wanted. She really didn't get the hatred that he saw on daily basis. That was something he was glad for. He never wanted her to experience the pain that he did. The people just sent him glares and told their children to not play with him. They had tried to raise the prices on items at their store at him to make him broke. That ended the day it happened. The Hokage had shut the place down as an example to anyone who would defy the Hokage's will. It never happened again. Even though it didn't happen again he decided he didn't want to go shopping any time soon.
Then 'The Event' happened four years ago back when they were eight. Apparently someone caused the apartment building that they were living in to explode. Well, that was what the Hokage had explained. He wouldn't budge any more on the topic which made him feel that there was something much more sinister had occured. The explosion killed anyone inside and around the complex. He had survived that due to the demon living inside of him. His sister had been lucky enough to be shopping when the building erupted into flames and debris. This was what led to him and his sister discovering the truth to the people's hatred towards him. He was a jinchūriki. A human sacrifice for a bijū. The scorn of the people.
However much to the surprise of everyone, both the twins had a part of the kyuubi inside of them. When his sister had reached the apartment complex that they resided, she went berserk. He didn't know what happened due to being knocked out by the blast, but what he was told was that Fumiko had gone on a literal rampage and attacked anything that moved. This was what cause people to fear them. They feared her. The villagers and shinobi population were afraid of his sister. Her killing intent was through the roof and washed over the village as four tails of the bijū's chakra had been unleashed. It had completely caused the downfall of his sister.
When he had woken up in the hospital and seen his sister next to him. He had a panic attack. She didn't have any skin on her. He still remembers hearing the doctors and how pleak the situation really was. When he started screaming he had shocked the whole room. No one had expected him to wake up anytime soon. Then he realized just how much pain he was in. He was covered in bandages, machines hooked up to him, his arm was in a swing. Yet that wasn't what made him cry. His sister condition had broken him. Her skin! It looked like something had burned all the skin off of her.
It was in that moment he knew he could never see her like that again. Never again.
The old man Hokage had explained to him that his sister had unleashed four tails of the beast before she was restrained. Hiruzen had also informed him that the demon's chakra had corrupted her mind. It had practically killed her. How she had managed to live through would always be a medical mystery. When she had awoken she had attempted to kill the doctors that were in the room. The use of a high amount of kyuubi chakra had caused her to literally lose her mind.
That is what caused him to grow up. He had to look after his sister constantly outside of their apartment. He didn't need her killing someone in a fit of rage or something. He always had to keep an eye on her. They had been attached at the hip ever since that event. He couldn't let her out of his sight in fear of her killing someone, and she couldn't let him out of her sight because someone might try to kill him again. They both had there reasons to look after one another more than ever now.
If only they knew how far gone Fumiko was.
Naruto sighed as he was still face down in the grass, "Can I stop now? Please sis?"
Fumiko didn't even bother lifting her head from the scroll she was looking over, "Naruto, we just started not even four hours ago…" She lifted her head to look at him, "If you can pull out one tails worth of Chakra I'll let you go, Poi."
Naruto groaned in disappointment, "Look, I'm hungry," He raised his left hand for empaths and added "And tired! There is no way I can get motivated to do any of this." He finally tried to stand up off the ground but she put her foot on his back to keep him put. He looked up at her with a raised eyebrow, "Really? You going to force me to do this? I'm obviously not ready yet."
Oh, that's what he needed 'motivation' well Fumiko knew just what kind of motivation he needed. She let a fake sigh escape her lips, "Well there goes all that free 'ramen' I said I'd buy if…"
Ramen? Say no more, right on cue there was a blur of orange right back in the standing position. Naruto slammed his fist in his hand, "Alright, let's take it from the top!" Naruto shouted then pointed at his sister. This was it. The only time that his sister seemed normal. When they were alone. There were a selected few in village that Fumiko didn't want to kill in a horrible way. As soon as they left their home logic went right out the window. Kyuubi's chakra had really messed up her mind.
She placed the scroll on the floor, her eyebrow raised in question to his gung-ho attitude but smirked nonetheless as she put her foot back down, "...Okay, find his chakra. Search deep inside yourself, Poi. Feel for your dark emotions. That is were he lays in wait, Poi." She instructed keeping a close eye on her brother. You see Fumiko had completely control over four tails of the Kyuubi's power ever since 'The Event'. She could teach him in the ways of using bijū's dark chakra.
"I still don't see it." Naruto chuckled, "Come on sis there's got to be more than just doing this!"
"Oh," she grumbled, "…you had a partial cloak before." She grunted crossing her arms.
"... Well that's easier said than done… ah… How does one find… Fuck! Wait a minute!" Naruto exclaimed as Fumiko nodded seeing Naruto's facial features change to be more fox like. "Haha! Is that all you got fox!?" Naruto laughed as the red chakra bubbled around him. "Woah." He could feel the hatred and malice coming from the chakra. It was powerful. Insanely so. "Fuck so much hate… I need to hit something."
Fumiko smiled sweetly at him which got Naruto to smiled at her. Well, he tried but the power that the kyuubi was giving him made it seem more as a sneer than a smile. "Good job, little brother! You finally got one tails worth of chakra under you control…" Her smile started getting creepy again. Oh, this was not good at all, "... Now you have three more to go to reach my level, poi, poi." The way she finished that last line sent shivers down his spine for more than one reason. "Then we can kil-"
"Let's take it slow for now," Naruto waved his hands in front of him as he cut the chakra off. That caused his sister to blink at him. "This is all I'm capable of for now. I'm sure Hiruzen will want to talk to us about my progress." Then he shot her glare, "What do you mean little brother! I'm the older twin by like five minutes!"
She gave him a sly grin, "Yes that is true, but you forget that I'm taller than you by four inches, poi!" She giggled playfully seeing her brother flounder for a comeback to that.
"That is besides the point, and no we are never going to follow your plan of killing everyone that said something bad about me either!" His sister looked shocked for a second, "Yeah, I knew what you were about say and I did cut you off for a reason, Believe it."
She pouted, "But brother… Gramps said I could if they try to harm us, poi."
Naruto facepalm, "I'm pretty sure he said physically, if they try to harm us physically. You skills of selective hearing are very impressive."
"Thanks!" She chirped happily at the false praise. Naruto was for sure she took that backhanded compliment as praise. One facepalm wasn't enough.
Naruto shook his head, "Okay, we better go see Hiruzen." He started to walk away from his sister to where he knew Hiruzen was waiting for him only to be stopped as something latched to his arm. He sighed to himself knowing who had him by his arm. "Fumiko-"
"Stay a little longer… Please." She sounded so desperate with that plea. Naruto turned to face her and grinned at her.
"Fine, we can rest under the tree, believe it. I'm sure Hiruzen won't mind too much. I'm sure Yamato won't mind reporting my progress. That and we still have time too." That had been the deal that the Hokage made with the twins. They could learn how to use the strength of the kyuubi as long as they were supervised by himself or ten of his ANBU. Today Hiruzen wasn't available to help with the training. Yamato was always one of the watchers no matter what. His wood release was invaluable to their training. That and the Fūinjutsu that they were taught would help should one start falling under the influence of the beast looked away. Who would have thought that the UZUMAKIS were actually FANTASTIC at their BIRTHRIGHT!
Hiruzen after 'The Event' had become more open to revealing more about the twins. The Uzumaki clan was just one of the many things they learned under the wise man. Hiruzen had explained to the two on his reasons of why he did the things that he did. It was all due to political reasons and trying to give them a normal childhood. That plan had quite literally blown up right in all of their faces. "The Event' had finally gave the Hokage a valid reason to bring the twins under his care. No clans would oppose him. Hiruzen had made sure to remind all the clans that Konoha no Sato was not a Democracy and he had the final say in all matters. He would not let anyone tire his hands again.
Fumiko gave a pleased smile. That seemed to do the trick as his sister pulled him over to the big Oak tree that was in Hiruzen's backyard. This was where they had lived ever since their old apartment had been blown up. The Hokage no longer saw it fit that they could live without a constant guard around them. They now lived with the old man.
Naruto laid against the hard dark brown bark of the Oak tree in the cool shade it provide him. His sister next to him with a content smile on her face. Her messed up hair hide her right eye from him yet he could tell her eyes were closed. He closed his eyes as well. The wind was cool compared to the heat of the sun on his skin. This feeling, Naruto smiled to himself, it felt great.
The smell of delicious aromas filled the streets of Konoha no sato. Villagers crowding the streets, entering and leaving shops, oh yes this was the typical day in Konoha. This was the last wave of villagers for day, until the night time hours.
Right on the coroner was a little family restaurant home of the world's best ramen makers. Teuchi had to be one of the nicest people in Konoha, he made life easier for Naruto and Fumiko, he made prices lower for them, and also gave them free ramon from time to time. He was in his early sixties, his hair was grey, and his face had some thicken wrinkles due to his age.
His daughter Ayame was a lovely girl who was in her early twenties. Brown eyes, with light brown hair. She was very talkative, and at times it sounded like she could keep talking. She did take her job seriously by helping out, and watching her father as he made ramen to the point it became a ramen competition between the two. Ayame took to the two young blondes pretty fast, she saw them almost everyday so they were like family.
And speaking about those two blondes and competitions, they had one, who ever ate the most ramen in one sitting would win, and the loser would have to pay the bill.
Naruto remembered the last time he beat her by five bowls and while he was cheering, she snuck away leaving him to pay the bill. Oh hell no. He was not going to get tricked again.
This time he had a close eye on her, she wouldn't get by him again.
"Look who's here." Their academy teacher walked into the small ramen stand. Umino Iruka has black hair that he keeps in a ponytail, a long scar crosses the bridge of his nose, and dark eyes. He was wearing the regular Chūnin outfit all leaf Chūnin wear, minus the partially rolled up sleeves. "It getting pretty late outside our you guys sure you don't want to study just in case?", He finished with a disapproving look. Iruka believed that all students should study regardless of how good they were.
They didn't respond which end up with a visible vein popping out on his forehead, "Are you two ignoring me?"
Both Naruto, and Fumiko finished their bowls and push them into an overgrown stack that been accumulating, "No Iruka sensei we're not. We're just a little busy at moment Poi." Fumiko finished with a smile looking up at Iruka.
"There is no need to worry Iruka sensei! I will pass that test for sure! Believe it!" Naruto turned in his chair and gave him a thumbs up with his signature fox grin to reassure the man, yet Iruka wasn't that easily convince.
"Yeah, we're as ready as we are going to get. You already know that he has the best taijutsu in the class behind Sasuke. He'll be fine poi." Hearing that made him feel a little better but not much, if Naruto passed Iruka would buy the two as much ramen as they could eat, Fumiko would deserve it for helping knocking some sense into him. Finally some good news.
"...But," Iruka froze in spot, "You should study some more when we get home." She locked eyes with her brother with a serious look.
"Oh come on! I have studied enough." Naruto argued not seeing a reason to study anymore.
"I'm sure the Hokage would love to see a henge of himself with giant eyes, a large beard, or a huge nose, then go ahead give it a try." She said sarcastically, which got Naruto to cross his arms grumble something about details.
"It's called a prank and you were laughing your ass of when I did it." His sister started choking. Then an idea came to him, if he was Hokage he would have people henge into himself, so that's why they were forced to learn 'Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)' by the Hokage himself! Jiji had a lot of explaining to do when he saw him next. Blackmail~
Iruka sighed mentally after hearing Fumiko's sarcastic remark. Yep, Naruto was still going to cause trouble for him. He had matured but somethings would never change it seemed. This was going to be their third time taking it. The first two times they failed was because of their teachers not letting them even take the test. They still wouldn't have passed even if they did take it. Well, Naruto would have failed those both times, but Fumiko would have passed after her second time with an average grade.
'Not again...' Naruto balled his hand into a fist, '...I can not fail if I want to become Hokage! I can't let Fumiko be on her own. I can't allow that no matter what. If we pass Hokage would no doubt but us on the same team. He knows just how unstable she is.'
'Not again...' Fumiko gritted her teeth, '...I will not be made into a fool again, I will not be held back again! Let someone stand in our way again, poi. I'll kill them. The Hokage had told us that we had been sabotaged the first few times we took the exam. There is no way we will fail.'
'Not again...' Iruka sighed, 'I don't think I could handle Naruto any longer. Oh Kami please let him pass I can't handle him another year.' He prayed in his head.
Iruka looked at Naruto and saw a fire burning in his eyes, Naruto jumped out of the ramen stand screaming, "I WILL PASS THIS EXAM AND BECOME HOKAGE! BELIEVE IT!"
This earn a deadpan expression from Iruka, he started shaking his head, he looked at Fumiko's face, it was a bright red. Was she embarrassed? That was understandable anyone would be after that, oh but he was dead wrong.
She stood up from the bar and walked outside, "NARUTO! YOU LEFT ME HERE WITH THE BILL POOOOII!" she yelled. This was Iruka's cue to leave, he quickly did a hand sign and disappeared in a cloud of smoke as Fumiko hurriedly pay the bill and gave chase. The streets cleared almost instantly as the yell echoed. No one stood in her way.
The Next Morning
"Oi! Naruto get up!" Fumiko yelled as she slammed his door close as she enters his room.
Naruto jumped out of his bed, "What the hell! Haven't you heard of knocking?" Naruto yelled in return to his sister's rude act. Damn what's her problem? He didn't do anything, did he? "What's the matter with you?"
"How could you forget idiot! You left me to pay the bill yesterday!" Oh, that's what he did, oops. She pulled a piece of paper out off her coat pocket, which most likely was the bill, "You owe me." She pointed at the bill.
"Oh really? What about that time you left me to pay the bill when I won fair and square!" Naruto barked.
"I outsmarted you fair and square!"
"I outdumbed you fair and square!" Naruto pointed out. Fumiko was still pointing at the bill with a deadpan expression on her face, as her right side eye twitched. Her hand crushed the piece of paper and threw it at him. Naruto pulled the covers over his head to deflect the paper.
She crossed her arms and walked down the hallway, "Just hurry up and get really." She called back to him. "If you're not ready in ten minutes I'm pulling you out of here with whatever you're wearing Poi."
Naruto made a fist for victory, he didn't get a win that much so he took what he could get, and this was a huge win to him, and a giant lose to his sis financially.
'WAIT ONLY TEN MINUTES!', yeah he needed to move or she would kick his ass. Naruto scrambled to get his things together and ran into the bathroom. Naruto took a quick shower and brushed his teeth. He had three minutes left. He threw his clothes on and adjusted his goggles on his forehead, and gave his reflection a grin, 'Time to pass this exam Believe it!'
Naruto ran out of the bathroom and stood by the front door and waited patiently for his sister. His sister's door opened and she walked out of her room. She saw Naruto at the door.
"Good to see that you're ready for once." She puffed, "Let's go Poi." she finished as they exited the apartment.
Academy: Iruka's Classroom
"Yeah, I'm so gonna pass this exam." Kiba said with an arrogant smile and a bark from Akamaru, Inuzuka Kiba has brown spiky, messy hair. He has an animalistic appearance with two red fangs on his cheek that represents his clan, he was wearing a dark grey jacket with a fury hood and dark green pants and black sandals, "Hey what do you think Shino?" he turned to look up at the boy called Shino.
Shino was the tallest in the class with tall messy brown hair, he was also wearing sunglasses and a sea-green jacket that had a high collar that covered half of his face, and his dark brown pants. "Why do you ask? You ask because you're scared and need reinsurance." He said calmly.
It took a while for Kiba to register the insult, well that how Kiba took it, "Hey, I'm not scared, take that back!" Kiba demand getting Akamaru to bark as he agreed with Kiba.
"Taking back what I just said would be agreeing with you, who is obviously at fault." Oh yeah, Shino was going ham on the poor Inuzuka, and he didn't even know it.
"Shino!" Kiba roared.
"Hey could you two calm down Shikamaru is trying to sleep." A boy from the back of the room said while stuffing his face eating a bag of fiery doritos locos tacos flavored chips. Akimichi Chōji has spiky, brown hair, swirl marks on his cheeks like the rest of his clan. He was wearing black shorts, a long white scarf, a short-sleeved, blue haori, over a white shirt with his clan's obligatory kanji for 'food' on it, small, hoop earrings, and his legs and forearms were wrapped in bandages. Oh and lastly he was overweight just a bit.
"No its fine Chōji." Said the boy that was sitting next to him with his head down, "I was gonna be woken up anyway by those two." He said in a bored tone. Nara Shikamaru has shoulder length black hair tied in a spiky ponytail and narrow brown eyes. Initially, he wore a simple pair of silver hoop earrings. He was wearing a green lined mesh T-shirt under a short sleeved grey jacket with green edges, adorned on both the sleeves and the back with a circle with a line through it, his blue, brown pants, and blue sandals.
"Those two?" His chubby friend asked not knowing who he was talking about.
"You mean the twins? Right." Kiba whispered thinking he answered correctly, but seeing the pineapple-shaped hair boy shake his head for no killed his attitude.
"No, I can deal with those two because their quiet and make everyone else so," He said with his normal lazy look, "It's Ino and Sakura. They're so troublesome." Just as he finished the sliding door to the classroom in the back opened up as a hand was holding it open. Fumiko entered while Naruto was holding the door for her. She sent a glare to anyone that looked their way. An ominous red eye peered over the room. Before Naruto got her attention Patting her.
"Why are you being so nice Naruto?" She said with her arms crossed.
Naruto was rubbing his neck sheepishly, "Well, I did make you pay the bill on accident so I thought this was a way to pay you back."
"How long were you planning on being nice poi?" She said with a raised eyebrow.
"Aren't I always?" He asked confused still holding the door in the hallway, while his sister's eye twitched.
"Wow no pranks, for a week? I can live with that." Kiba inserted himself into their conversation. Kiba always had a way of jumping into things he really shouldn't. There was a reason you didn't want to talk to the twins. It was mostly the sister but you get the point.
"Actually, I give up pranking from this day forward. I will not have time for such troublesome pranks, if I want to become Hokage! Believe it." He said with a gleam in his eye.
'Did he just say he 'won't have time for pranks'?' Kiba thought as his jaw dropped a little.
'Did he just say 'troublesome'?' Shikamaru thought as he lifted his head and stared at Naruto.
"OH MY GOD! IT IS CONTAGIOUS! SHIKAMARU'S LAZINESS IS CONTAGIOUS!" Kiba screamed waving his hands in the air while Akamaru barked at him.
"Calm down dog boy. It's not contagious. Your being loud, shut up or I'll rip your throat out." Fumiko assured him in a deadly way. Kiba had visibly flinched at the harsh words. He knew better than to mess with the Uzumaki. He had seen how vicious she could be.
Suddenly there was a loud bang down the hall. Naruto still being in the hallway, he looked down the long hallway and notice two figures approaching him fastly. Naruto's eyes widened as they somehow were gaining more speed at him. Then he noticed the red and purple outfits and knew exactly who they were. Naruto dived into the classroom, as the two figures were trying to enter at the same time and not succeeding.
"Get out the way Ino-pig! Naruto was holding the door for me!"
"In your dreams Forehead! He was holding it for me!"
Naruto poked his head out from under the table, "Actually I was holding the door for-" He never finished that sentence. Fumiko was growling. GROWLING!
"Stay out of this!" They yelled in unison, Naruto hide back under the table that he dived under. They somehow defied all logic as entered at the same time, "I'm here!" They said as their hands flew up and smacked each other on the side of their face like they punched each other.
Fumiko started muttering ways she would kill them but before she act on her thoughts, Naruto throw his arm around her and lead to their seats. Chōji stopped eating his cips, Shikamaru cursed "troublesome" seeing Fumiko's eyes going red and was wide awake seeing the danger, Kiba shaked his head moving away a little, Shino did nothing but push his glasses up, and Hinata just poked her fingers together nervously. At least some things never change right?
"I soo beat you here forehead!" Ino provoked the long pink haired female next to her with a smug look. Yamanaka Ino is a fair-skinned girl of average height with green eyes, long, platinum blonde hair, which is always seen in a high-ponytail with bangs covering the right side of her face. She was wearing a pair of small silver hoop-earrings and purple, fairly revealing clothing, a short purple vest like blouse with a raised collar, a purple apron-like skirt that is cut off on the sides and bandages on her stomach and legs. She also was wearing purple and white elbow warmers. One the prettiest girls in the class hands down, but she was loud and very bashful at times.
"Yeah, keep talking piglet." Sakura cracked at the long haired platinum blond beauty. Haruno Sakura has bright pink hair, large sea-green eyes, fair skin,and rather large forehead. Sakura was wearing a red qipao dress with white circular designs, without short sleeves, with a zipper, tight dark green shorts, standard ninja sandals, and a blue ribbon in her hair. Even though having a large forehead she was still pretty in her own right.
"Hey where's Iruka sensei?" Ino asked ignoring Sakura's remark, "I mean he should have been here by now." Ino said as she headed to her seat.
Naruto's time hiding under the table he left him believing that the dust bunnies were getting ready to mount an attack on Konoha. Really, the janitor must be a Nara. Naruto then dust himself off and took his seat next to Fumiko. Sakura was the last one to sit down she sat next to Hinata.
Hyūga Hinata has dark blue hair and fair skin. She also has the customary white eyes of her clan, her hair is in a short, levelled hime-cut style just above her forehead, with chin-length strands framing her face. She was wearing a cream-coloured hooded-jacket with a fire symbol on the upper right and left sleeves and fur around the cuffs and hem, with navy blue pants.
"Hey Hinata! How are you today?" Sakura smiled at her, which she jumped a little in her seat at her name being called, "You ready for the exam?"
"H-He-llo S… Sakura-san." she tried to greet her formally, but stuttered in the process, "I-I studied m-my best. I... just... ho-pe that Naru… Na… Nar-uto-kun did also."
"That baka does not even know the meaning of studying." Sakura said with a snort. She felt killing intent pour over. Shit. She was glaring at her.
Just then there was a 'poof' and a cloud of smoke formed from behind Iruka's desk. Iruka appeared holding a giant stack of papers in hand, he dropped them on his desk. "Alright class today's the day you will earn one of these," he said fixing his forehead protector, "let the exam… Began!" 'Ohyeah that line will never get old.'
Naruto found himself sitting in a empty classroom as everyone else was already finished with the test part. How the hell did Kiba finish before him? He will never know. He was just sitting there, he knew passed the test. That was a given. Well, this was just his start for his road to glory. He need to pass this he had to, he could see it now, Naruto Uzumaki the failure, the orphan, the hated, becoming the most loved and appreciated person in the village, Naruto Lord Hokage. Has a good ring to it doesn't it?
The classroom door slid open as Iruka stepped in, "Hey Naruto, you done yet?" He asked kindly.
"You bet Iruka sensei! I just finished I can't wait to show you what I got!" He pointed with his thumb to himself with a foxy grin on his face.
Iruka sweatdropped, "I can't wait." He said as he was waved the boy to follow him. Naruto hopped right out of his seat and jumped over the table. The attempt to look cool failed almost instantly as he fell face first on hard classroom floor. Iruka now had a deadpan expression on his face.
Naruto returned the same expression as he looked up at the man who watched the epic fail, "This never happened right?" Naruto pled Iruka to forget about his fail.
Iruka did have heart, especially for him and his sister and he smiled awkwardly at the situation, "What never happened?"
"This." Naruto said blinking on how Iruka could forget things that fast.
Iruka facepalmed, "Come on it's time to finish the exam." Naruto was still trying to figure out what the hell Iruka was talking about. Yes, very curious indeed.
"Very impressive Naruto," Iruka praised him, "Full points, now it's time for Ninjutsu part of the exam." Naruto had a gleam in his eyes at seeing the alone headband on the table meant for him in the middle of table between the two teachers.
Naruto nodded as he understood. "Alright, let's start with the Transformation Technique, transform into any of the Hokage."
"You can do it Naruto." Encourage the white hair shinobi sitting next to Iruka. Mizuki has shoulder-length, white hair with a slight hint of blue to it and green eyes. He was wearing the standard attire of the Konoha-nin and his forehead protector that he was wearing like a bandanna.
'Any Hokage hm… oh I've got it.' Naruto made the necessary hand seal to perform the jutsu, as he gathered his chakra and tried to control it to the person who was in his mind.
"Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)" He yelled. There was smoke covering the area Naruto just transformed.
Iruka had doubts in his mind, how was he going to look, a large nose, chubby cheeks, oh the suspense was killing him.
The smoke cleared and there standing in front of them was the fourth Hokage, if the two knew this was not a test or the fact that Naruto disappeared, they would have started freaking out.
"How is this?" The copy of Minato asked with a calm expression, not only did he look like him but he sounded like him too?! WHAT THE HELL!
"Naruto how did you know what the fourth Hokage sounded like?" Mizuki asked amazed but hiding his anger. Isn't it ironic that the boy picked him to transform into, or was that just him?
"Not what I was expecting but great job Naruto. A perfect transformation!" Iruka smiled as he wrote down the happenings, seeing giant progress with him. "Alright next we have… Body Replacement Technique."
Naruto release the henge of the great hero of the village, "Substitution Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)." Naruto succeed in replacing himself with the chair.
Iruka looked at Mizuki and he looked at Iruka and shrugged, Iruka nodded as he started writing something down on his paper he was holding. "Very good Naruto."
"Nicework… Okay and lastly the Clone Technique." Iruka mentally sighed this technique was the downfall of both Naruto and Fumiko, they just couldn't do it for some unseen reason. He was surprised to see Fumiko perform the shadow clone instead of the regular clone.
'Oh fuck I'm a goner, who was I kidding this Jutsu will screw me. Kami you bastard! You have done nothing for me but cause me great pain.' he knew it was his weakness in the academy. Naruto sighed "Here it goes, Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique)!"Naruto made the three hand seals as he tried to control his unyielding chakra, to no success.
On the ground the was a white dead looking clone sprawled out on the floor. Mizuki had a face that said 'good try' but like, 'what the hell is that thing on the ground.' Iruka's hand was buried in his face by his facepalm. Well his sister was no better off anyway.
"Hey at least it showed up. Believe it." Naruto joked trying to make lite of the situation.
"That's the spirit Naruto! Don't give up, just get better." Mizuki smile warmly at him once again encouraging him.
"You bet Mizuki sensei!" Naruto cheered.
"Naruto!" Iruka's voice sounded pissed, "This is not a joking matter! The clone technique is the most important jutsu on the test."
"Woah there Iruka sensei, I'm I able to use other clones or does it have to be the regular clones?"
Iruka blinked, "Any clone would do Naruto."
"YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT EARLIER!" Naruto roared, "Cause you got pranked. Pranked son!"
"NARUTO!" Iruka screamed.
"Here I go, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Jutsu)!" Naruto declared and Naruto was surround by ten of himselfs. "I think that enough to pass, right?" Naruto asked knowingly.
"You passed with a ninety-five percent. You scored a thirty-five, on the written, a twenty on Taijutsu, and a fifty on the ninjutsu. You gave me quite the scare there at the end." Naruto's chuckled to himself "but…" Naruto locked eyes with Iruka, "you pass come and get yo-"
Iruka and Mizuki found themselves in a tight embrace by a very happy Naruto. They looked at each other and then back at Naruto, "Thank you Iruka and Mizuki sensei you guys are the best," He smiled out of happyness, "I won't let you guys down."
Iruka started messing with his hair like how an older brother would. "Naruto you earned it." He placed Naruto's goggles around his neck and place his blue forehead protector around his forehead.
Naruto gave them his grin that they were so use to. "Naruto just to let you know I believed that you could do it." Mizuki returned Naruto's smile, Iruka gave him a confused look.
"But I thought you said-" Iruka found himself in a headlock by Mizuki as Mizuki gave Iruka a nuggy. Naruto thought the scene was very comical as the two older ninja were interacting like they were still his age.
"How about ramen to celebrate this amazing achievement of the the future Hokage!" Naruto yelled as he demand his rameny goodness right now. The two older shinobi looked at him, then grinned evilly at Naruto, who sweatdropped. Naruto knew what was crossing over their minds and Naruto would rather die than get nuggied "Oh hell no," Naruto made a hand seal, "Oiroke no Jutsu (Sexy Technique)!", Naruto transformed into a beautiful naked girl with long black hair and a couple of white clouds were hanging around her private parts. The two older ninja stopped dead in their tracks and flew back behind their desk, with two giant nose bleeds.
Naruto quickly departed from the exam room, to head back to the main classroom, Naruto was half way there until a giant head Iruka screamed at him "Naruto! You little brat!"
Naruto went from a run to a drop dead sprint to get away from the giant head of Iruka that was following him. 'How the fuck can he run with that giant ass head of his?' Not only did this defy gravity, but just plain weird.
Mizuki was walking home with a heavy burden on his mind, 'How am I going to get that stupid Scroll of Seals. Those demon brats they had to pass on me. Even after my best attempts to mess with their taijutsu. Well there is always a plan B. That just so hard though, if I get caught...' He stopped thinking when he heard his voice being called. He turned to see his childhood best friend Iruka running towards him, now his enemy. 'Uhg if it isn't the demon lover', "Hey Iruka, what's the hurry?" he asked not caring that much.
"Hey you wanna come to get some ramen with me, Fumiko, and Naruto?" He asked excitedly.
"Sorry Iruka I have to get home." Mizuki admitted with an apologetic smile.
"Okay, I will see you later." Iruka waved back at, "Don't forget tomorrow, we have planning for next year!" Mizuki frowned at hearing that, he despised this job. This job it's not what a true shinobi job is. He wanted to be on the front lines again he didn't see why the Hokage placed him here, but he despised him for it. The only good thing he got from this job was allowing that Kabuto brat to pass for Orochimaru, and getting that offer to join him. At first he was reluctant to join him after...
His hate for this village only grew stronger, he allied himself with Orochimaru to gain the awesome power that he said he would give him. Then he would join up with the snake, he knew he was a very dangerous man so he had be careful. He did a lot of his dirty work, but hey it was his kind of thing.
Mizuki hadchange his direction and now was heading back to the Hokage building, with one goal in mind. To take that scroll.
"Hey old man! You are looking at Konoha's new ninja!" Naruto exclaimed pointing at his headband.
"I'm very proud of you two. My number one customers are moving up in the world." Teuchi amused them.
"Naruto you look good in that headband." Ayame smiled, Naruto waved her off with little sign of a blush on his cheek, getting her to laugh.
"Well Naruto you passed, but your still shorter than me" Fumiko chimed in.
"Details, details, details that don't matter… Where's Iruka sensei." Naruto looked both ways in the stand and even stepped outside to see if he was coming. Naruto didn't get to look long enough as he was pulled back inside the ramen stand by his coat collar. Naruto looked up at his sister, she had an irritated look expressing over her features.
"Where do you think your going?" She asked/stated.
"I wasn't going to leave honest," He wave his hands in front of his face, "I was just looking for Iruka sensei!" He apologized, she sighed deeply.
"Iruka told me he was going to see if Mizuki sensei was going to come as well." Fumiko informed Naruto of Iruka's plan.
"Thats cool! I like Mizuki sensei anyway." Naruto admitted with a sparkle in his eye. He really didn't know Mizuki that well but he seem cool and nice so he was A-okay in his book.
They heard one of the flaps that was hanging over stand rustle which meant someone was entering, "Hey guys sorry I'm late, you guys didn't pig out without me did ya?" Iruka joked as he took his seat next to Fumiko.
"No we waited for you and Mizuki sensei, I guess he couldn't make?" Fumiko said a little disappointed on the outcome, Naruto didn't seem to bothered by it tho.
"Well that just means more for us." Naruto laughed. "I'll have four orders of the pork on the double!" Naruto yelled.
"Yep I'm broke and going to be in debt, after tonight." Iruka assured himself.
In front of the Hokage Tower
Mizuki was still thinking about just how his plan was going to work, he made sure that he was not followed or anything, but yet there he was standing in front of the building, just within the gates of giant compound, just standing there not moving. Until he felt a hand on his shoulder, Mizuki had a look of surprise, he turned to see a smaller man, but the most known man in the village, The Third Hokage.
"Hello Mizuki how are you this fine evening. Are you just as restless as me tonight?" He laughed with his pipe in his hand as walked away from Mizuki.
"Lord Hokage-sama! I wasn't expecting to see you?" Mizuki said with is a hint of shock.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was one of the greatest shinobi in the hidden leaf how in the hell was he going to get by him, simple he couldn't. Hiruzen laughed, "But I've been expecting you."
'What… th… there is no way! How could he know… about… it's that damn crystal ball of his… but I thought that it was just a myth.' Mizuki not wanting to be discovered so for now he'll play dumb, "You have been expecting me?" Mizuki pretended to be shocked.
"Still want to play dumb?" Mizuki's heart stop hearing the Hokage say that, well now he knew it was over for him, "but before you say anything, tell me do you know why I made you an academy teacher?" Hiruzen asked he wasn't smiling anymore the friendly setting was completely destroyed by Hiruzen.
"..."
"..."
"You put me there so you could take me off the front lines, even though I completed the mission, all because I killed my teammate that was going to die anyway." Mizuki said with is hands quenching into fists.
"So that's what you believe?" Hiruzen turned his back to him.
"No. It's what I know! Orochimaru was right, that why you did this to me, as a punishment."
"Orochimaru had a hand in this event also didn't he? So he influenced you too?"
Hiruzen sighed deeply at hearing his student's name, 'Even after all this time you still cause so much woe.'
"No he promise to give me power! So I did this act for him!" He barked. Yep, he was brainwashed like everyone else.
"Orochimaru does not care about you as soon as he gets what he wants he'll give you that power, but you will die either way. I asked you did you know why I made you academy teacher and you said I did it to punish you…" he paused, "I did it to help you."
"How is that so? How the hell is helping brats supposed to help me!" he spit.
"Simple I have give you the biggest thing any Kage could give you…" Hiruzen stopped hearing Mizuki laugh.
"Oh really any Kage, ha I guess you finally have lost your-" he shut up feeling a wave so of killing intent wash over him.
"MIZUKI! Listen to me! I gave you the future of the village! Those 'brats' as you call them are the future. You have been blinded by your own rage, and ambitions to realize the giant task you have been given. I believed you were not ready when I made Iruka a teacher, and when I did make you one I still believed you were not ready for you foolish hatred for the village. Don't listen to Orochimaru not just for just for your sake but also for Tsubaki."
Mizuki glared at him hearing Hiruzen say his girlfriends name, "Or are trying to get back at Iruka for surpassing you."
"That overgrown hype has never, and never will surpass me!" Mizuki growled in anger, "I'm-"
"You're confused I know, it's obvious if you weren't you would already have what Orochimaru wanted you to get for him. That is why I still have hope for you to change your ways and not follow Orochimaru for a means to an end."
"I don't understand why don't you just kill me, or beat the information out of me like with Ibiki." It didn't make any sense, he knew why he was here, yet he was giving him a second chance? Why would he do that? He was going to betray the village, how in the hell was there still hope for him?
The old Hokage just chuckled at hearing Ibiki's name, "So that's what you want alright I'll-" Hiruzen saw Mizuki's mouth drop.
"No I didn't mean it!" He shouted trying to take back his words.
"Mizuki there is still hope for you, do you know what makes people strong, and no I'm not talking about the will of fire either."
"..."
"The reason any of us Hokage are strong and powerful is because we fight for the weak, for the helpless, and continue to. We fight and give our lives to protect the village its people, all their lives are more important than mine. This is how I became strong by placing everyone else burdens before my own. True power is gained when you have someone or something worth dying for."
Too say Mizuki was shocked was a big understatement.
"Follow me." the Hokage suggested, "There is nothing outside in the dark for you."
Hiruzen sighed to himself and started walking back into the giant red tower, Mizuki hesitated to follow the great Hokage to the red giant tower, but he did eventually. Hiruzen smiled to himself as he was finally able to stop someone from joining the dark side. This was definitely going to be a long night for the both of them, but this was not going to be compared to how tomorrow was going to be. Long day indeed.
The next day
Today is the hottest day of the week. It didn't matter for the lightly tanned, boy laying underneath a tree and it's shadow covering his prone form. The boy has bright blond spiky hair, ocean blue eyes, a roundish face and three whisker marks on both of his cheeks.
This boy is known as Naruto Uzumaki or 'Oni no kyōdai', though nobody dared to call him that. Naruto is wearing a konoha forehead protector tied around his forehead with a black cloth, around his neck is a orange scarf given to him by his younger sister, a thin silk long sleeve black jacket which is open to reveal an orange short sleeve shirt with a black konoha leaf. His pants are black and baggy with many pockets to hold his equipment and two pouches are hanging off the back of his pants, on his right thigh is a kunai holster. To finish his outfit off are his black sandals that every shinobi wears, and black and orange fingerless gloves.
Laying underneath the trees is what he usually did when there was nothing to do, he felt it was calming for him. That or practice his fūinjutsu. Fūinjutsu was only as good as the mind of the user. The more creative of the person, the stronger they will be at fūinjutsu. If that was the case he was going to be a master at it, believe it. Sitting up to have his back rest on the rough bark of the tree, he turns to his left to see his sister's identical blue eyes staring back at him.
Her blonde hair is a… in the lack of better words, a mess. Her hair is swept to obscure her right eye, her long messy hair reaches her mid back. The right side of her face is framed by a long bang that reaches her lower chest and the left side of her face has a similar bang but stops at her neck. The same six whisker marks on her lightly tanned, roundish face.
She sat up and smiles sweetly at him, "Naruto."
This is Fumiko Uzumaki or 'Konoha no Oni', Naruto's twin sister. She is also the younger one by five minutes and forty-six seconds. Her outfit is similar to her brothers, her jacket is the same black but with a orange trim, the sleeves were also rolled up halfway up her arms. A orange with a black trim skirt-like apron, underneath the skirt, is baggy pants much like her older brothers but was rolled up to her knees. Her kunai holster is on her left thigh making her left handed. Her arms are covered in bandages from wrist up to mid-forearm, her legs has the same bandages from her ankles up to mid-shin. Having three pouches, two on her sides and the third one behind her. To finish her outfit is a pair of orange sandals.
Naruto simply grins at his sister, "Fumiko." Getting off the ground with a grunt of effort followed by his sister, though she got up more gracefully. He stretched his arms above his head releasing any built up tension in his arms, "Man oh man, I need that," he yawned putting his left hand to his mouth, "I think we should," She frowned but that went unnoticed by Naruto, "Head to the Shinobi Academy we don't want be late for team placement."
Turning to his sister he noticed her eyes lost that warmth they held in them, and became ice cold, "I don't understand why we have to be on a team with anyone else," She admitted disgruntled by the thought, "I'll just kill them anyway." Her voice became lower than normal almost sounding like an angry growl her eyes also flashed red before settling back to her blue ones.
Scratching the back of his head and sending her a nervous look, "I don't think that would be necessary, or smiled upon." He tried to calm her down.
"Like I care," She snorts in distaste and crossing her arms over chest at having to have a teammate other than her brother. It didn't matter who was placed on their team she hates everyone all the same, she hates this damn village. Only one thing matters to her, "I only want you on my team poi." She smiled at him.
"I know sis, I know." Naruto said softly placing his hand on her shoulder trying to calm his sister down, "Come on it won't be that bad," He assures her. She gives him a look that said she didn't believe him, "Trust me, Believe it." He said wrapping his arm around her shoulder.
She nodded reluctantly following Naruto's led. Naruto led Fumiko out of the shade of the tall oak tree. Even though Hiruzen lived close to the Hokage tower and the Academy doesn't mean they could escape this part of the day. It was this part of the day that Naruto feared the most. Walking in public. All it took was one person to start an unneeded life or death event. He had seen first hand what would happen.
As they became in sight of the public, the first people that took notice quickly alerted the others around them. The people around them gave them a wide berth. Their eyes fixed upon the two. Eyes filled with uncontrollable fear, staring at them. No not them, most certainly not him, but the one with his arm wrapped around. Her eyes were closed as they moved forward towards the Academy. Her hair shadows most of her face, her one seeable eye that wasn't covered by her hair opens showing a red slitted eye full of a murderous hatred glaring at them but at no one in particular.
Naruto sighed to himself knowing she could very well snap if someone was idiotic enough to look at her, but most importantly him, in the wrong way, he could feel her shoulders tension up "It's alright sis," His grip tightened on her, "I'm right here, no need to worry. I'm safe, believe it." He told her in the most caring way he could. He felt her lessen up in his grip,hopefully no one has to die today.
The Hokage Tower: Hokage Office
Hiruzen Sarutobi, is known as the 'Professor,' 'the God of Shinobi,' but most importantly 'The Third Fire Shadow.' Hiruzen is a dark-skinned man of below-average stature with grey spiky hair and a small goatee. He also initially has a single line running vertically under outer corners of each eye, which stretched down into his cheeks. His face has pronounced cheekbones, few wrinkles, a wart near his left nostril, and a few liver-spots. Hiruzen is currently wearing the official Hokage uniform — consisting of the customary hat and haori, along with a red, full-length kimono that is tied using a white sash.
In recent years the village became more chaotic, Orochimaru was on the move again, Danzo trying to have him assassinated twice by his root Anbu, the failed kidnapping of Uzumaki Naruto, Kumogakure no sato testing their borders to the north east, the constant threat of one of their jinchūriki jumping off the deep end and destroying the village, fear in all the villagers, a clan uprising, and an uneasy, unsettling peace in the village. Something was going to give.
But how long could that last before all hell would break loose? But more importantly how long could he go without getting a stress ulcer or having a heart attack?
Letting out a deep sigh and rubbing his temples, why is nothing ever easy especially for the Kage of Konoha no sato? Today is the genin team placement and like all the times before, the selected Jounin were all in his office reading over all of their academy graduates, well most of them anyway. Letting a smile form on his face watching over his sensei hopefuls, this was the best part of the job. Watching the young ones grow up to be successful strong shinobi and beautiful kunoichi of the village, watching them pass the 'real' genin exam. He chuckled at that one.
This year has been an exciting one, that was for sure. The entire class of this year passed and moved on to the second exam not that they about that of course.
Kurenai Yuhi is a fair-skinned woman of slender build. She has long, black, shoulder-length untamed hair, and very unique eyes that are red in colour, with an additional ring in them. She is wearing make-up consisting of red lipstick and purple eyeshadow. Her outfit consists of a red mesh armour blouse with only the right sleeve visible. A broad material which resembles bandages with a pattern on it similar to those of rose thorns. Her hands and upper thighs are also wrapped in bandages and wearing the Konoha forehead protector and regular black shinobi sandals.
Kurenai has a smirk placed on her lips, she has gotten a good team, oh yes. She finished reading over her team's portfolio with a pleased look. She looks over at the man's files standing next her. He had also gotten a decent team as well, looking up at the man's face with a rare small smile from the so called 'Ice Queen' which she quickly replaced with a twitching right eye in annoyance seeing a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, 'What a horrible habit,' She thought in disgust.
Asuma Sarutobi is a tall tan man, with brown eyes, short, black spiky hair, and a beard. His clothing consists of the standard Konoha ninja uniform with the sleeves rolled up half way, flak jacket, regular black shinobi sandals and forehead protector. He also is wearing a sash that has the kanji for "Fire" marked on it around his waist, a pair of black bangles and white bandages wrapped around the arms of his sleeves.
Seeing his unannounced girlfriend's reaction that everyone knew about out of the corner of his eye, he smirks at her displeasure as he continues to reads over his team.
Behind Asuma is a man with short, unkempt, dark-coloured hair and a relatively broad nose and well-defined eyelashes, that turns upwards at each end. He is wearing the standard attire of the Uchiha clan which includes a high-collared, dark-coloured outfit along with a tanto strapped to the right side of the back of his shoulder. He also has a tanish harness for his tantō which runs across his chest and fastened over both of his shoulders. His forehead protector covers the man's right eye.
A large grin on the man's face seeing his old best friend's little brother is on his roster. This is Shisui Uchiha, or better known as 'Shisui the Body Flicker'.
Hiruzen watches them, with a careful eye, "I see you all agree with the teams I have assigned?" He asks taking a puff of his tobacco pipe.
"Hai, Hokage-sama." two of the Jounin reply with the utmost respect.
"Yeah, yeah," He waves dismissively, "Hai, whatever pops." Asuma said dully getting an elbow from his girlfriend in the side making him grunt. Shisui merely rolls his eyes at the two, they were so obvious it wasn't even funny anymore. The Hokage chuckles at the three elite Jounin reactions.
"Then you thr-" the third pauses at seeing his door open. A fit and relatively tall shinobi, with spiky silver hair, and a dark-coloured right eye enters his office. "Ah Kakashi," Hiruzen sighs closing his eyes, "I'm glad you found time in your busy schedule to meet with us." Hiruzen said with clear irritation in his voice at the man's tardiness. The famed Hatake Kakashi or better known as 'the Copy Ninja', has a mask over the lower-half of his face. Kakashi is wearing the standard jounin attire: a Konoha flak jacket, black pants and a long-sleeve black shirt with the addition of wearing shorter, fingerless gloves with metal plates on the backhand. He also wears a chain necklace that is hidden well under his flak jacket. "You're about an hour and a half late, explain yourself." The old Hokage demands.
Holding a orange book in his left hand, and scratching the back of his head with the right giving them his nervous eye smile that only he seemed to be able to do. 'Here it comes.' Hiruzen thought. "Well you see Hokage-sama, there was this old man, who needed help reading some of the items in the grocery store that he needed, how could I say no? As it turns out the old man had made the wrong list so we had to go back to his place to make a new one. Then we went back to the store and got the items he needed. I of course walked him back home. He was really quite friendly." He shrugged in a questioning manner. The others gave him a deadpan look, at such a lame excuse and story.
"Very well, your team information is on my desk." The third motioned to it by waving his hand. Kakashi walks up to the older man's desk putting his book away in one of his jacket's many pockets. Grabbing the folder on the desk in front of him, he opens it. His visible eye widens for a split second, but Hiruzen saw it.
"The four of you will meet your teams in half an hour," Hiruzen informs them, before dismissing them. As the rest of the jounin sensei file out Kakashi starts his way out of the office behind them with a far off look in his eye before the Hokage called to him in a serious manner, "Kakashi you stay, we have somethings to discuss."
Turning half his body at the older Sarutobi while looking out the doorway watching the others leave. Once they were out of sight his head turns to Hiruzen fully, "Hai, Hokage-sama."
Academy: Iruka's classroom
"Let me be the first on congratulate you on becoming a shinobi of the hidden leaf village," A tan man acknowledge the young teens in his room. Iruka Umino. "But that doesn't mean it gets any easier from here on out. You will have to train your hardest to become the best. Nothing will be given to you just because you wear that leaf Hitai-ate or because your a ninja. You will have to overcome challenges that can make and break you. These are just some of things you are going to learn down your path of shinobi," Finishing his speech, he looks over his class seeing his student paying full attention to him well besides the lightly snoring Nara clan member. He was and is proud of them, they all passed and… two of his students were missing? Wait what?
Before he could continue with that train of thought and look over the student attendance checklist the sliding door opens revealing the missing two students. Naruto and Fumiko Uzumaki, had finally arrived and as soon as they entered the room, a chill rises up the spin's of the class in fear of the girl with the red slitted eye showing, "Sorry were late, Iruka sensei." The boy apologized.
"N-no problem, just take your seats." Iruka stuttered under the gaze of the girl. Her red eye vanished and became the icey blue once again unlike her brother's warm and calming eyes. Feeling relief that the girl was calm or at least under control. Naruto smiled at Iruka.
"Yes, sensei." Naruto bowed in respect before him and his sister climbed the steps of the classroom to a completely open desk in the back of classroom. They took their seats letting Iruka start announcing the teams.
"I'll now announce the teams that the Hokage has decided. Team one, Haruno Sakura, Rasiti Fuki, and Uchiha Sasuke-" Before he could finish his statement two squeals came from said girl's seats. This is Sakura Haruno, the smartest girl in the academy, but not the most physically fit like the rest of the girls. "True love prevails!" she declares jumping to her feet.
"Zip it Cerebrum!" A maroon haired girl insults her. Rasiti Fuki is a girl with maroon spiky hair that goes down her down to her shoulders and big brown eyes. She is wearing a blouse that is half green and half yellow along with a grey scarf and a pair of light-coloured pants. Her overall skills were average at best, but was given the nickname 'Deadeye' for her aim with kunai and shuriken was above excellence her aim only increase when her right eye is closed.
"What was that, bug eyes!" Sakura snaps at the girl glaring at the girl who return it back at her.
"Did I stutter! I called you Cerebrum because of you forehead, brainiac!" Fuki urged Sakura on by smirking causing said girl to snarl like a dog at her, "Who do you like better Sasuke?" Fuki asked sweetly as both girls looked at him.
His eyes were closed ignoring the two females that were fighting over him, but if you looked real closely you could see a hint of red on his cheeks, maybe.
Iruka seeing a break in their conversation/argument made some fake cough to get their attention, "If you ladies are done bickering I would like to continue," He replies with his left eye twitching and a large and very intimidating tick mark on his forehead. They quickly sat down and waited a couple of seconds, before Iruka restarted, "Your Jounin sensei is Uchiha Shisui."
That seemingly got Sasuke's attention, "Shisui is my sensei?!" The boy said with an uncharacteristic glee making every, well almost everyone to look at him with some form of shock and surprise at the boy.
"Uh-yeah…" Iruka confirmed with surprise on his face. Iruka shook his surprise off and started once again. Telling the others there teammates before he announced, "Team eight, is Aburame Shino, Hyuga Hinata, and Inuzuka Kiba, your Jounin sensei is Yuhi Kurenai."
"Team nine is…"
Hokage Tower: Hokage's Office
"Hokage-sama I don't understand how she passed the mental exam?" Kakashi stated his problem with the team he was given, "She's a psychopath."
"Kakashi," The Hokage said in distress, "We both know why she is the way she is." Rising out of his seat and turning to the window Hiruzen let out a sigh, "Kakashi, you know the predicament I'm in."
"Yes, Hokage-sama but-" Kakashi is cut off by the old man.
"Kakashi what do you think would happen if she didn't become a ninja along with her brother?" Kakashi not knowing what to say Hiruzen continues, "She would fall even farther down into Insanity." said with discomfort turning his a little and then turned back to the window again, "The only reason she hasn't snapped before now is her older being with her constantly. If we take him away from her, she would see it as an act against her and her brother..."
"And go on a killing spree." Kakashi answered with a far off look in his eye. He still couldn't believe that his poor sensei's daughter had turned out this way. If only he was faster he could have stop it from happening.
"You must stop blaming yourself Kakashi, there was nothing else you could do." Hiruzen stopped what kakashi was pondering, "But as much as it pains me to say it, yes she would." Hiruzen agrees with Kakashi looking down at the village, "And if Naruto didn't pass, it would be the same outcome." This caused Kakashi to lower his head and tighten his fists.
"You know," The older Sarutobi broke the silence that made its way into their conversation, "Naruto was force to grow up and mature to protect her and the village from his sister." No, Kakashi hadn't known that which cause his head to rise and look at the back of the Hokage. "Not that he minds. I trained them in my free time." He admits with a smile, shocking Kakashi. "Naruto knows how to suppress his sister, I assure you. She needs to make bond with other people Kakashi, or you know what might happen."
"I… I understand." Kakashi said weakly and out of character still in shock.
"After all," The Hokage turns to the stunned Kakashi, "I thought you would be happy training your sensei's children?" Hiruzen asks amused letting out a smoke ring from his lips.
After thinking about it for a bit his visible eye crinkle into a smile of sorts, "Thanks Hokage-sama."
Nodding in acknowledgment taking his seat back behind his desk, "You're dismissed Kakashi." Hiruzen watched the man leave his room in deep thought after all this was either the best decision he ever made or the worst.
Looking at the small stack of papers on his desk he eyed them curiously. Taking the first paper he began to read over the mission request, It was from the fire Daimyo's wife. One word popped up in his mind, 'Again?'
Academy: Iruka's classroom
"Team nine is Uzuki Ami, Uzumaki Fumiko, and Uzumaki Naruto, you're Jounin sensei is Hatake Kakashi." Iruka reveals.
Ami Uzuki has long purple hair styled in an asymmetrical cut with a high ponytail and brown eyes. Her outfit she is currently wearing consist of a dark purple, short sleeved kimono-like dress with white trimmings, with a black baldric over her right shoulder that holds a katana with a black and purple handle, the baldric has the konoha Hitai-ate in the middle of it. Her wrists and upper forearm are covered in black bandages, purple fingerless gloves, black leggings that stop at her her knees, a kunai holder on her right thigh, and black bandages that stop at her mid-shin.
Ami Uzuki is the youngest daughter of a very wealthy merchant family, that is head of the merchant guild in Konoha. They deal with some of the more powerful clans such as the Uchiha, Hyuuga, Inuzuka, and the Nara. Though the Nara only works with them because of something like them being the 'less troublesome dealers', clan leader's exact words.
Ami could feel the sympathetic looks people were giving her. She felt like crying out that she would be killed. Ami had tried to stay scarce around Fumiko. They were rivals at one time, but after the incident years ago, she's lucky she wasn't killed before this point. Looks like her luck has finally run out.
Naruto gave his sister's rival a couple of glances knowing full well of their past rivalry. It all started when Ami tried making fun of her with her friends, and Fumiko being the person she is stood up for herself. She kicked the crap out of her and her group of friends. Which in turn add the spark to their rivalry. He had never seen the girl so determined in anything but winning Sasuke over that it came to him in utter shock when the she threw herself at training to get better to beat Fumiko. They were at each other throats most days. Ami had gotten stronger because of his sister. Then that it happened which ended the rivalry on the spot. Everyone came to fear the girl, and no one dared to talk to either of them in fear of her attacking and killing someone. He could only hope that everything could turn out well, hope for the best.
Fumiko was taken back at hearing that her rival is on her team, a grin slowly makes its way across her face, killing intent starts to rise and the room temperature starts to drop. Before it could escalate any further she felt a strong hand grab her shoulder. Snapping her head to face her brother, he simply shook his head disappointedly at her. She lowered her head as the killing intent receded back into her.
Iruka finally announced the last group of genins, "Team ten is Akimichi Chōji, Nara Shikamaru, and Yamanaka Ino. Your Jounin sensei is Sarutobi Asuma." Iruka finished announcing the teams.
Chōji Akimichi has spiky, brown hair, swirl marks on his cheeks, and like the rest of his clan, he has a more robust physique. Chōji is wearing black shorts, a long white scarf, a short-sleeved, green haori, over a light-green shirt with his clan's obligatory kanji for "food" on it, small, hoop earrings, and his legs and forearms were wrapped in bandages. His forehead protector was styled in a manner that allowed two tufts of hair to poke out at each side. He was currently eating a bag of french onion chips.
Sitting next, or sleeping next to Chōji is Shikamaru has lazy or irritated expression on his face. He has shoulder length black hair tied in a spiky ponytail and narrow brown eyes. He is wearing a simple pair of silver hoop earrings given to him by his father as a way to pass on his will to him. His attire is rather plain, consisting of a green lined mesh T-shirt under a short sleeved grey jacket with green edges, adorned on both the sleeves and the back with a circle with a line through it, his blue forehead protector worn around his left arm, brown pants, and blue sandals. He was sleeping peacefully until he was elbowed by a pissed off angry blond girl sitting next him.
"Ugh! Why do I have to be on team with a bunch of lazy Losers!" She whined rather loudly crossing her arms on the desk and resting her head on them. This is Ino Yamanaka! Ino is a fair-skinned girl of average height with green eyes. Her most noticeable trait in her appearance is her long, pale blonde hair, which is seen in a high-ponytail with bangs covering the right side of her face. Her hair reached down to her waist. Ino is wearing a pair of small silver hoop-earrings and purple, fairly revealing clothing. Her outfit consist of a short purple vest like blouse with a raised collar, a purple apron skirt that is cut off on the sides and bandages on her stomach and legs. She also has purple and white elbow warmers, and her forehead protector around her waist as a belt.
The boy Shikamaru let out a sigh, "Why did we have to have such a troublesome loud women on our team?" Shikamaru groaned to no in particular.
Snapping her head up with a white eyed glare, "What did you say you lazy ass!"
Looking at the incredibly pissed off women, his father words came back to him. 'Troblemsome.' He sighed, "I didn't say anything." He waved his hands defensively. She looked away from him with a disproving snort. He sighed in relief all he needed was a girl to irritate or possible kick his ass, he muttered one last thing to himself and to his portly friend next to him, "Such a drag." The boy next to him couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Now that all the teams have been assigned please wait here for your Jounin sensei." Iruka informed the class full of Genin hopefuls, "They should-" interpreting Iruka was a man appearing in a swirl of leaves right next to him.
"Ahh, Shisui right on time as usual." Iruka greeted the Jounin standing next to him. Shisui smiled at the academy teacher. Some of the girls in class mumed about how cute the eighteen year old was.
"Hello Iruka-san," Shisui returned the greeting, "Hello, I'm Shisui Uchiha." He waves at friendly at the class, "If team one would follow me." Sasuke shot up out of his seat and quickly followed the older teen. Which made the teacher happy to see the usually quiet Uchiha so eager. The two girl immediately followed after the two Uchiha. Of course, they did.
Iruka went behind his desk and waited with the rest of the Genin patiently for their sensei. Soon enough Asuma and Kurenai arrived and took their teams to wherever. Some other sensei as arrived to pick up their new students hopefuls, this went on until only one group was left. Kakashi's group no surprise there.
