Ok, here we go… This is my first FanFiction, let's see how long it takes for me to screw it up.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Naruto Characters (There'd be more NaruHina-eeness), but I do own my OCs.
It was a strange sight for the two Ninjas guarding the Main Gate to Konoha: An abnormally tall person, wearing a long hooded grey cloak that covered their entire body. They looked about 8-feet. Walking along next to them was a young boy who looked to be around 3 or 4. The oddest thing was that the young one was completely green. Not just their clothes, but their hair and skin as well. As they approached, one of the guards called out. "Who are you and what is your business here?"
The hooded one replied, "My name is Grey, and my business here is just that. Mine."
"Who gave you permission to enter?"
Grey reached into a fold in his cloak, the guards tensed; it might be a kunai, or an explosive tag. He pulled out… A piece of paper. "Signed by the Fourth Hokage himself." The guard read it over, it seemed legitimate.
"How did you get his signature?"
"I gave him the paper, and he wrote it down, why?"
"Don't you know? He's been dead for 3 years"
"…That's a shame, he was nice. Anyway, are you going to let us in or what?"
"The paper checks out, welcome to Konoha."
Grey took the paper back, and led the green child into village.
As they left, the first guard looked at his companion. "Was it just me, or was the small one…?"
"Best not to think about it." Was the reply. "Although I might start doing less night shifts..."
As Grey and the green child walked further, Grey looked at his companion. "Well younger brother, what do you think of Konoha?"
"It seems to be a bit… Broken" Replied the child, waving his hand towards destroyed buildings and wooden patches.
"I heard they had some trouble with 9 foxes or something 3 years ago. They must have been quite large to-, ah, here we are." Grey stopped, and looked at a large group of buildings in front of him. I wonder if anyone else I knew has died…
"Brother, what is a Hyuga?" said the small one, pointing a nearby sign.
"A name." Said Grey, as he pulled his brother inside.
As the Hyuga clan debated on some matter the small one wasn't very interested in, Grey left him to stand by a tall potted plant, and knocked on a folded screen. Most of them looked at him with blank faces, but one, a very old man leapt up "You! What are-" but Grey raised his hand, and handed him a small scroll. He opened and read it. "Fine."
Grey walked over to the child. "It's working, you know where I'll be if it happens. Stay safe" and vanished.
10 Years Later
As Naruto lay bleeding after being beaten up by almost every girl in the class for stealing Sasuke's first kiss, Iruka walked in. "Class, I have a special announcement. I want you all to welcome a new student. He's been living in Konoha for a while now, but we've decided to wait until you were mature enough before we introduced you. His name is Green, come in now Green." The door opened, and a thin 13 year old boy walked in. He was wearing a green t-shirt, which was virtually hanging off him. There was a plain green scarf round the lower part of his head, even though it was a hot summer day, although he was wearing a pair of shorts that reached his knees, instead of the traditional sandals or trainers, he was wearing boots that reached halfway up his shin, as if he had been expecting snow. His hands were covered by ski-gloves, and considering the nearest snow-covered mountain was in a different country, this weirded out the people that noticed. Few did however, because most were having trouble getting over the face that his skin, eyes and hair were forest-green. After a period of stunned silence (outwardly and mentally) different thoughts popped up.
There's a boy that's thinner than me!
I wonder how much worse he'll be than Sasuke's
He's green…
Why is he GREEN?!
Are those ... ski gloves?
And out loud, from Iruka, "Green, why don't you tell the class a bit about yourself"
He seemed to take a second to digest what Iruka has said, and another to consider what he himself was going to say. When he did speak, he seemed almost asleep, speaking very plainly, with a look that suggested he was thinking about something very far away. Oddly, his voice didn't seem to be muffled by the scarf.
"Well… There isn't much to say about me. I like gardening and reading, and that's about it. I don't eat, so I don't have a favourite food, and I have a medical condition, so I can only drink water. I've never spent much time outside my home, so I don't really know anything about the village."
"I'm sure you'll get used to life here soon. Anyway, you're just in time to the announcements of the teams." As the man listed of names that Green had neither heard of nor cared about, he reached the bottom of his clipboard "Team 15, Green, Himo Iken and Gudah Izunaka." Green noticed 2 people stiffen as the names were called, the first, Himo apparently, wore a yellow shirt with a black flower on the back, and a short yellow mini skirt. Her hair was red, tied in a ponytail, and she didn't seem too pleased about being teamed up with Green. Gudah was a brown haired boy wearing a grey jacket and blue jeans. Like Himo, he too didn't seem thrilled by the prospect of being associated with the uniquely toned ninja.
"Well…" Thought Green "This is going to be… Something…" And let his mind wander away from reality for a bit.
The newly formed Team-15 assembled on a disused concrete training ground where the notes they had received had told them to meet. Suddenly blinding amounts of light burst from nowhere, and they were assailed with a man's voice booming into their ears. "Presenting the one, the only, the grand magnificent perfect shining example of all things wonderful, your new sensei, role model, idol of worship and more! Jinduh Ginfray!" A burst of multicolour smoke appeared, and faded away to reveal an average looking Jonin wearing a combat best, blue trousers and ridiculous smile, and striking an absolutely brainless pose.
Green clapped slowly. The other two wondered if a kunai to the throat would really be that painful. "Well at least one of you has some appreciation of genius." Jinduh sighed. "Might as well get this over with. Say some stuff about yourself while I think about interesting stuff… You first Himo."
Himo gave him a look that said something along the lines of "I will feed you to a bear".
"Well, I like shopping, shoes, flowers, I don't like mud, taijutsu or you guys. I want to be a great ninja so that everyone knows women can be powerful too."
Jinduh didn't seem to care that Himo had finished, the suddenly snapped back from whatever "interesting stuff" he'd been thinking about. "Oh, you're done... You next Gundam."
The brown haired boy looked annoyed, "It's Gudah!"
"I don't care."
Gudah replicate Himo's "Feed you to a bear" look, but seemed to mix in a bit of "And there will be fire" as well. "Ug... Why did I get teams with a pair of freaks...? Well, I want to be a ninja because all my friends do, and if they're ninjas and I'm some chef or something then I'll probably never see them again... I like football and meat, and I don't like cucumber or you two." At that last point, he pointed a finger at Green and Jinduh.
"What a nice little guy you are..." Jinduh said in response to the "You two" comment. Green didn't seem to be listening."You're next broccoli boy." Green didn't respond in anyway. "Hello...? Cucumber kid? Grass guy? He whos skin be that which is not not green?"
Himo punched him in the face "WAKE UP!" The punch seemed to be quite strong, as it left Himo unbalanced, but Green just blinked.
"Oh right... I don't re-"
"What is this stuff?" Himo interupted, holding up her hand, which had small amount a green liquid on its knuckles.
"That's my blood. It comes out when you break my skin." Green replied, pointing to a very slightly lighter patch on his face, which did seem to be dripping.
"I know what happens when you break-!" Himo yelled, the stopped, as a sudden thought burst into her mind. "Your blood... Is... on... my... hand... EEEEEEEW!" Then she started frantically wiping her fingers on the grass.
Gudah thought to himself, Why am I not surprised that his blood is green too...?
After Himo had calmed down, Green started his introduction again.
"I don't really have anything to say about myself... I garden and I sleep, and that's about it."
"Well at least that one was polite." Was Jinduh's comment. "Now get to know each other while I lie down with my eyes closed." He then closed his eyes and lay down.
"Green."
"Yes Himo?"
"Why are you wearing ski-gloves?"
Green looked bewildered. Or at least as bewildered as you could while wearing a scarf. He replied slowly. "To keep my hands warm..."
"But... you're wearing a t-shirt..."
"Well I'm not going to wear a jumper on a hot summer day am I?"
"But... You... Gloves..." Himo's brain didn't seem to want to risk sanity just to try and understand Green's not-logic. So she curled up and started thinking happy-thoughts. Gudah went to sleep without any declaration of his intent to do so. Green looked at the two sleeping teammates, and the curled up one mumbling about kittens, and could only think of a single comment.
Why did I get put on the weird team?
And that's chapter one. I'll start writing chapter two when someone reviews, so I know someone has read this.
Green pops out from nowhere. "Fluff, we did the chapter... Can we eat now?"
"No. Get back in your hole."
"... Kay"
