I have started a new story. Please Rate and Review after reading. I do not own Naruto!
The Zipper of the orange tent slowly opened and a blond-haired ninja stepped out with black circles around his eyes. A white-haired sannin was sitting by the fire and looking over the edge of the mountain.
The forest below was covered in fog. But the colors of the flowers still showed through. The surrounding mountains also gave off a blue light.
"Sleep well Naruto?"
"No, You kept me up giggling about your book!"
"Yea, sorry about that." Jariah smiled and busted out, "BUT THIS ONE IS THE BEST ONE YET. IT EVEN HAS PICTURES! Drew them myself! Kakashi will die when he reads this!"
"Yea, whatever you say. What are we doing today? Fight mountain lions with our feet?"
Jariah laughed, "Very funny Naruto. I know you hate the harsh training we had. But today is the day we go back home and hit the stores with our new book!" Jariah said the last part with a huge grin.
--At the Gate--
Jariah and Naruto stepped back inside Konoha and the first thing Naruto looked was Tsunade's face on the hokage monument.
"Hey Naruto, I have been waiting for you! Tsunade wants to talk to you!" Shikamaru said with a grin.
--In The Office--
"Are you serious! I am the only genin!"
"Well, there is one. But if you choose to compete in the Chuunin exams in a few weeks. You must be on a two-man team with them."
"Who is it? Is it some new guy who is super strong?"
"Well, not exactly. Come on in!"
The door opened to reveal a purple haired girl. It was none other than Hinata Hyuuga.
Tsunade quietly said "boom" as Hinata hit the floor.
Tsunade smirked, "That wasn't much of a surprise."
Naruto had a confused face on as he asked Hinata if she was okay over and over.
"Don't worry about it Naruto, I will tell her everything when she wakes up" Tsunade cleared her throat, "You see, with my permission, teams can be of two. I just have to sign this paper here with your names on it, and you guys are in it. Are you ready to team up with Hinata?"
"Yea, but, why didn't she complete the chuunin exams before now?"
Tsunade sighed, "Her father took her out and refused to let her train any further. However, we finally got to him and he broke down and said that she could enter as long as she never entered the Hyuuga compound again. I wouldn't talk about it front of Hinata if I were you. She is a little shaken up by it still."
"Sign the paper!"
Tsunade smiled and wrote both their names and signed her name at the bottom. "See you in a few weeks."
Naruto carefully stepped over Hinata as he left the office.
--Home--
Naruto entered his old house. It turns out that Tsunade ordered some renovations. The House was almost twice the size now.
"You should really lock your door."
Naruto jumped and turned around with his fists raised.
"Who's there?"
"You don't remember me?"
Naruto recognized the voice.
"G-Gaara?"
Gaara reached out and grabbed Naruto's throat.
Naruto was choking and Gaara was just smiling.
A girls voice came from the shadows, "enough scaring him, I am scared he's going to wet himself."
Temari came out of the shadows and Gaara let go and put a smirk.
Naruto was so confused, "Why did you do that!"
"Cause we wanted to scare you" said Temari
Naruto was about to say something when an insane knocking came from the door the door. He ran to the door and opened it. It was Sakura.
Naruto smiled but Sakura was ready to cry, "COME WITH ME!"
Naruto ran after Sakura. They got to a well and Sakura removed the cover and climbed down the ladder. They ran down the hall into a room with ANBU. They nodded at Sakura and let her and Naruto enter.
A man in all black and another boy were against the wall with their hands cuffed and the feet clamped to the floor. The man was screaming to let him go that he was harmless but the ANBU ignored him. His head was totally covered with a mask. He had a sand village headband covering his right eye. In his left was a sharingan eye.
"S-Sasuke?"
"I'm over here you dumb fuck!" The boy said with an angry voice.
The boy raised his head to reveal two sharingan eyes. Naruto knew it was him. He was shaking from anger.
Naruto thought he should address the man first, seeing as how Sasuke would just yell obscenities "What are you doing here?"
"I was captured by the sound. I escaped, I heard you want this boy back so I captured him and brought him here. ANBU stopped me and took us both." The man in all black said with a monotone voice.
"Who are you?"
"Irroke (E-Row-Kay) Hamada."
Naruto felt so weak. This man captured Sasuke and didn't have any cuts on him at all. Naruto almost died and didn't even get close.
"How did you know where to bring him?" Sakura asked
"Well, I watched Konoha. Our clan learned our jutsus from watching other countries; mainly the Leaf."
"I want to know why. Why did you bring him back? How did you do it? Why didn't you die?" Naruto said in an angered tone as tears filled his eyes.
"He tricked me," Sasuke said as he raised his head. He used some sort of genjutsu that I couldn't break. He made it look like he killed Orochimaru and before I knew it he had me trapped in a cage. It drained my chakra before I knew where I was." Sasuke said like he was disgusted with himself for falling for such a trick.
Sakura turned her head to Sasuke. She had been crying the whole time.
"S-Sasuke"
"Don't fucking talk to me!" Sasuke jumped out at her and katanas came out of the ANBU's sheaths.
Sakura put her hand up and the ANBU put away their weapons.
"You can break out."
Sasuke raised his head, "What do you mean?"
"You have the power. You have more than enough power to escape. Why do you stand here?"
"Because my life is for nothing now."
Irroke looked at away as he realized what he meant.
"Why is your life for nothing?" Sakura asked with a calm voice
"BECAUSE HE KILLED HIM! HE STOLE MY PURPOSE IN LIFE! MY LIFE IS FOR NOTHING! I STAYED ALIVE JUST TO KILL MY BROTHER! BUT THAT FUCKER OVER THERE TOOK IT ALL AWAY!" Sasuke said with tears filling his eyes.
Kakashi came out of the shadows, "So I finally get to figure it out?"
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN?" Sasuke lunged out again.
"Well from day one; I always wondered what you would do after Itachi died. I guess I am going to find it out."
Naruto looked back at Irroke, "You killed Itachi?"
"Yes, just barely. My brother and Sister helped me. However, they were injured and before I knew it another Akatsuki member had taken them. He wore an orange mask with one hole over the right eye."
Irroke scanned over the room, he took a bow and before anyone knew it he disappeared leaving a note in Naruto's hand. It read, "I will be seeing you again."
The ANBU put Sasuke in new cuffs to be transferred to a better holding facility. He looked back through the door to stare at Naruto.
"Come see me tomorrow. I have demands."
Naruto nodded and everyone left the cell. Kakashi walked beside Naruto. "When he gives you demands, tell him only if you can have a three man team."
"What? He has no control over whether if I am in a three man team."
"Oh you right, my mistake." With that, Kakashi walked off with a smile.
--Back At Naruto's house--
"Hey Gaara you still here?"
"Yea, I believe you wanted to say something before Sakura came."
"Well I just wanted to know why you're here."
"Me and my siblings are the exam proctors."
"Wow, which one are you."
"I'll be playing the mind games of course." Gaara said with a smirk
"You sure your ready for THIS!" Naruto quickly pulled up his sleeve and flexed. Kankuro had been standing in the corner and nearly fell in the floor laughing.
"Please don't do that again!" Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari then blasted out of the room in a flash.
Naruto grunted and went up to his room to finally get some rest. It was already one in the morning.
--Next Morning--
Naruto walked to the S rank holding cell where Sasuke was. He entered the room and sat at the table. He stared into Sasuke's eyes.
"So, What do you want?"
Sasuke smiled, "I want my record clean. I want to be entered in the chuunin exams as a single fighter. I want a home twice the size of yours and a new Konoha headband. I would also like some trust. I am no longer a threat to anyone. There is no point in my existence so I might as well just run my life as I please."
He wants to be alone? Naruto looked at Kakashi and realized what he meant. "Fine, you can be alone." Kakashi was slightly shocked. "One condition, when we meet in the final round, no kyuubi, no curse seal. You and me!"
"Deal!"
The ANBU went to the Hokage and quickly came back with a confirmation. She agreed to everything. The ANBU handed him a new headband and Sasuke just put it on his arm.
"When we meet in the finals, this will go on my head."
Naruto nodded and walked out of the room.
He wandered off into the training ground and saw Hinata training on a post. She was trying to break a piece of glass inside a log without hurting the log using her gentle fist.
Naruto smirked and started walking over.
--WOOT END!--
RATE AND REVIEW PLEASE!! IRROKE is my original character that I thought of and we will see more of him later. The next few chapters will just be the exploring the couples that are to be. Next Chapter will be Naruto and Hinata. Then Neji and TenTen.
