Title: A Different Story
Author: MichaelaTheUchiha
Rating: T for now, perhaps M in the future.
Warnings: OCs, mature content, lots of cursing.
Spoilers: Not for a LONG time, or unless you are only on the first page of chapter one.
Summary: Two other Uchihas were able to survive the massacre. One is Naruto's friend since childhood, the other is a sixteen year old Jounin on par with Itachi. How would life in Konoha have changed with these two Uchihas still alive?
A/N: This is AU, if only for the fact for my OCs. I hope they are not Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu, but you never know. Also, Naruto is fairly OOC, Sasuke and Hinata slightly as they have been affected by my female OC's presence. However, she is only friends with Naruto, Hinata and Shikamaru. And yes, they are Uchihas. However, I'm trying to play this in a hopefully non-Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu way. Once you feel that Miharu/Fuji has gone Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu (and wait until you can see more of their personality), please let me know. Every kind of review is taken into consideration aside from Flames, although I will read each Flame over to see if they do have anything helpful to offer. If not, then your review will be deleted. Well, it also depends if I will get a review, but that's beside the point. I hope you enjoy my story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto (that honor goes to Kishimoto), but I do own Miharu, Fuji, and any other OCs that I may make up on the way.
Miharu, a girl with black hair, black eyes, and wearing all black clothing, glanced around, left then right then left again. Just to be spontaneous, she added another right look. She then locked her apartment and made sure it was locked three more times, and then left the house. It was a ritual she had, ever since her apartment had been broken into for the hundredth time. And that wasn't a hyperbole. She walked next door and knocked on the door fairly loudly. There was a loud "thump" before yelling came from the other side of the door.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!"
The door opened to show a blond haired boy with blue eyes. His spiky, blond hair was pushed down due to the blue, Walrus cap that he was wearing. His blue eyes were half lidded as he had just woken up. His pajamas were wrinkled. Seeing who was at the door, Naruto turned around and walked back into the house without even bothering to close the door behind him. He knew that Miharu would come inside.
And come inside Miharu did, shutting the door behind her with an automatic leg. She glanced around the house, seeing that it was not a complete mess. Sure there were some clothes scattered around the floor, but it is certainly better than the mess yesterday with trash everywhere. Miharu walked to the kitchen and started taking out the necessary ingredients and utensils for cooking some breakfast for them both. Naruto walked to his bedroom and slammed the door behind him. Miharu could hear some rustling of clothes and concurred that he was changing his clothes. She started to cook in the silence of the house.
As she finished up, Naruto came out of his bedroom wearing a bright orange jumpsuit. Seeing it, Miharu rolled her eyes and sighed slightly, but didn't comment. Naruto walked inside the kitchen and grabbed two plates and two forks. He put them on the small table for four and sat down in one of the old chairs. Miharu put their breakfast, omelets with cheese and a side dish of bacon, on the table. She sat down across from Naruto as they both spoke a clear "Itadakimasu" ("I humbly receive") before starting themselves to the food.
-x-
Miharu couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of her cousin in lip lock with Naruto. Beside her, Hinata blushed at the shade of a tomato and she could even hear Shikamaru sigh from two rows behind her. She watched, amused, as Naruto and Sasuke grabbed their throats and tried to get rid of the taste of the other, although she could see a slight blush on Sasuke's cheeks. Must have been his first kiss.
The fangirls have thought of this as well and they are not pleased with Naruto, which is an understatement. With Sakura and Ino in the lead, they all started throw punches at Naruto. Deciding to intervene, Miharu calmly walked in between the punches and Naruto, slapping away all of the blows.
"Please apologize to Naruto this instant," stated Miharu coldly, her eyes flickering to each paling fangirl. She had picked up a reputation as a fangirl killer after all. "It is not his fault that the boy in front of him caught him off guard and accidentally shoved him into Sasuke, in turn taking both of their first kisses—" both Naruto and Sasuke spluttered, but it wasn't because of trying to get the taste of the other out of their mouths "—and in turn getting the SFC (Sasuke Fan Club) mad at him. That does not mean that everyone in the SFC can assault him. So, apologize."
The fangirls looked ready to argue when they realized that no, Miharu was not joking around and she had just blocked all of their punches before they could blink. She was also much stronger then them. In fact, the only ones that could beat her in a spar was Naruto, Sasuke, Shino, Shikamaru (although he often gave up) and Hinata. Each of the fangirls whispered small apologies aside from Sakura and Ino. The fangirls who had apologized left back to their seats, but both Sakura and Ino glared at Miharu. Miharu sighed slightly and was about to coldly rip them out when Naruto grabbed her elbow. Miharu glanced at Naruto and could see that in his eyes that getting most of the SFC to apologize was enough. Miharu nodded slightly and they both walked to their seats, although not without a wave to Sasuke from Miharu. Sasuke nodded in response to the wave before Sakura and Ino pounced on the seats beside him. Sasuke sighed inwardly, knowing it was going to be a long day.
Iruka had walked in, just as Miharu and Naruto got into their seats. He walked slowly, enough to gather some strange looks, but no one said anything. The only one who knew why Iruka was walking so slowly was Naruto, although Shikamaru and Miharu had made an educated guess. Iruka lectured them all on becoming a shinobi before letting everyone know of a little factoid.
"There is an uneven number of shinobi graduating today," stated Iruka, "and as such, there will be one team of four with two senseis." He then began listing all of the teams.
"…Team Seven consists of Naruto, Miharu—" Naruto cheered quite loudly while Miharu allowed a small grin onto her face, "—Sasuke—" Naruto groaned slightly and Miharu's grin grew wider, Sasuke in turn let out a contemplative sigh, "—and Sakura." The already called teammates let out a collective sigh as Sakura couldn't help but wonder if it was good luck that she was on a team with Sasuke or bad luck that she was on a team with Naruto and Miharu who had nothing but distaste for her. "Your senseis will be Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Fuji." Miharu suddenly cursed violently, loudly, as Sasuke paled slightly. They both had grown up to the weirdness of Uchiha Fuji and they know they were screwed. Naruto, who had heard horror stories about him from Miharu, closed his eyes and muttered something under his breath. The one left out, Sakura had a confused look on her face. Iruka continued to list off team names.
"Team Eight will be Shino, Kiba, and Hinata." Hinata looked sad that she wouldn't be on a team with her best friend and her crushed, but she was still fairly close to Kiba as they were playmates when she was small and she was willing to get to know Shino. Look at the positive side; at least she wasn't paired up with a fangirl. "Your sensei will be Yuuhi Kurenai."
"As Team Nine is still in circulation, Team Ten will consist of Ino, Chouji, and Shikamaru." Shikamaru sighed slightly and muttered his catchphrase of "so troublesome" as Ino let out a loud groan of having to be paired up with a fat-ass and a lazy-ass and not Sasuke, while Chouji just munched on his chips. He's okay with the decision, he's still with Shikamaru. "Your sensei will be Sarutobi Asuma."
Iruka nodded slightly to each of the teams. "Good luck and don't die." Iruka left the room, allowing the jounin who were already there to pick up their students. Hinata, after a solemn hug to Miharu and a small wave to Naruto, she left with her sensei. Shikamaru lazily held up a hand to Miharu and Naruto before slowly following after his own sensei. Others were being picked up by their senseis, but only Team Seven's senseis weren't there. Soon, it was only Team Seven left. They had been waiting for two hours now.
Sasuke seemed content with the almost silence as Naruto and Miharu were whispering with each other softly. Sakura fidgeted, not entirely used to it being so quiet so long. She then turned to Sasuke in order to start up a conversation. "So, what do you know about Fuji-sensei?" At this question, Sasuke paled slightly.
"You would probably be off asking Miharu as she is his sister," stated Sasuke with not a hint of the fear he was feeling right now. Sakura turned to ask Miharu then when Miharu shook her head vehemently. She had already heard the question.
"Trust me, Haruno-san can see Fujiko-ani-sensei's personality for herself," stated Miharu. "I have not even told Naruto all of my horror stories yet."
Naruto let his mouth open in shock as his eyes opened wider. "You have more? You've told me at a hundred!"
"I'm hurt Miharu-chan," said a voice behind Miharu with a mock wounded emotion in his voice. "Don't you love me anymore?"
Sakura and Naruto jumped ten feet in the air as Miharu and Sasuke turned to glare at Fuji.
"Damn it Fuji," growled Miharu, "stop doing that!"
Fuji had an innocent look on his face. "Stop doing what?"
Miharu opened her mouth to comment, but closed it and held her silence. She didn't want The Punishment down her throat after all. Sakura timidly but into the conversation.
"Are you one of our senseis?" asked Sakura. Fuji sent his signature smile to Sakura. Fuji had brown hair that reached up to his shoulders in a girlish cut. However, no one could really see his eyes as they were so small. He had a very slender, almost girlish body. He was also fairly short although he let out an air of mystery and a hint of something dark.
Suddenly, another man was beside Fuji. His sudden appearance caused Sakura to jump ten feet in the air, Naruto five, Miharu to turn her glare to the man and Sasuke to sigh slightly and wondered if he was going to get wrinkles within a month. The new man had silver, spiky hair that seemed to defy gravity. He was wearing the standard jounin outfit, as was Fuji. His face was covered by a mask and his left eye was hidden under his forehead protector. Only his right eye was shown and it was black in colour. His lazily raised a hand.
"Yo," he said in greeting, his eye glancing over each face. "I have to say, I don't like you all. Meet me on the roof in five." He then disappeared. Fuji shrugged although he still had the same smile on his face and disappeared as well. Miharu sighed slightly and got up. She then began walking to the door. Sasuke had followed her example and followed after her, causing Sakura to follow them as well. Naruto was behind her in the beginning of it all. They then began to climb the stairs to the steps. When they made it to the roof, Fuji and Kakashi were sitting on the rails of the roof. Kakashi motioned them to sit down and they all obeyed. Kakashi clapped his hands together.
"Let's start introducing ourselves!" Kakashi said cheerfully. "List your name, your likes and dislikes, your hobbies and your dream. I'll go first. My name is Hatake Kakashi; I have no intentions of telling you my likes and dislikes. As for my dream… I have a few hobbies."
Before the genins could react, Fuji started his introduction.
"Hello, my name is Uchiha Fuji. I like teasing Miharu-chan and Sasuke-chan and seeing people in pain—" Sakura gave a few shudders to that as Naruto glared at Fuji. Miharu and Sasuke had only sighed, still suffering from Fuji-ism. "—my dislikes are when someone tries to bother Miharu-chan and Sasuke-chan or try to ask either of them on a date—" with this, Fuji opened his cobalt blue eyes to Sakura scaring the shit out of her. As he continued with his introduction, his eyes were back to being non-existent. "—My hobbies are teasing Miharu-chan and Sasuke-chan and my dream is to tease Miharu-chan and Sasuke-chan forever." Fuji nodded to himself as if this dream pleased him. Miharu and Sasuke groaned in unison, as they usually do when dealing with Fuji. "Miharu-chan, go next."
Miharu sighed slightly. "My name is Mizushima Miharu, formally Uchiha Miharu. My likes…I do not really feel like sharing, same as my dislikes, my hobbies…are none of anyone's business and I do not really have a dream." Miharu glared at Kakashi, who in turn raised an eyebrow at Miharu. Fuji chopped Miharu lightly on the head.
"Really introduce yourself Miharu-chan," stated Fuji. Miharu sighed again.
"My name is Mizushima Miharu, formally Uchiha Miharu. My likes…I like training with Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata and Shikamaru (whenever I can get him to train). My dislikes are my brother Fujiko-ani-sensei—" at this, Fuji let out an anguished cry "—and fangirls. My hobbies are training and my dreams…I hope to help Naruto become Hokage."
Kakashi nodded before glancing at Sakura. "Pinkie, you go next."
Sakura huffed slightly at being called a pinkie, but introduced herself dutifully. "My name is Haruno Sakura. I like…" Sakura then glanced at Sasuke and giggled, causing everyone to sigh. "I dislike…" Sakura paused, glanced at Fuji, and continued on with the list. "My hobbies are…reading and my dream is to…" Sakura glanced at Sasuke and giggled and blushed. Everyone took a collective sigh. Fangirls.
Kakashi glanced at Sasuke. "Emo kid, you go next."
Sasuke scowled slightly at being called an emo kid, but let it go. Oh, he shouldn't have… "My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I like…training. I have too many dislikes to name, but mostly fangirls and Him. My hobbies are training and I don't really have a dream, it's more of an ambition, but there is someone I need to kill," stated Sasuke darkly which caused Sakura to swoon, Naruto to glance at Sasuke, Miharu and Fuji to share a look and Kakashi kept his emotions hidden.
"Blondie, you go next."
Naruto then grinned. "Alright! First off, my name is Uzumaki Naruto! My likes are ramen, training with Miharu, Hinata, Shikamaru and…Sasuke. I also like Hokage-jiji, the people at Ichiraku Ramen and my friends. I dislike the three minutes it takes for ramen to cook and fangirls. My dream is to be the world's greatest Hokage so everyone can acknowledge me for me!" Naruto blushed slightly as he rubbed his neck, a nervous habit he had naturally got. "My hobbies are…training and pranks I guess," he said in a more subdued tone.
Kakashi nodded as Fuji kept the same expression on his face. "Since we're done," stated Fuji, "we have a little…test that you guys need to do in order to be a genin." Sakura looked shocked while Naruto stood up in rage. Miharu facepalmed and Sasuke kept the same expression on his face.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN—" shouted Naruto before Miharu cut in. "Naruto, sit down. Do not start a fight with Fuji-ani-sensei. It is not a smart idea." Naruto turned to face Miharu. "But—" Miharu gave a sharp glance at Naruto. "Be patient, Fuji-ani-sensei or Kakashi-sensei will explain." Naruto sighed and sat back down. He kept on glaring at Fuji, however Fuji had disappeared. Naruto blinked in surprise and glanced at Miharu to see that Fuji was hugging her from behind and nuzzling her cheek.
"Aw, Miharu-chan protected my virtue!" exclaimed Fuji.
Miharu scowled. "Let go. Of. Me."
"You're so cute Miharu-chan~!"
Miharu grabbed Fuji's wrists used enough force break his hold on her. She then, using the hold she already had on his wrist, flipped Fuji over her shoulders. Fuji was slammed into the rooftop on his back. Everyone was fairly shocked and Fuji laughed. Miharu let go of his wrists and scowled.
"Bloody bastard," she murmured. She glared at anyone who looked at her strange, which was everyone aside from the still laughing Fuji, and crossed her arms. Fuji stood up, dusting his pants that had gotten dirty and sat back at his original seat, still chuckling slightly. Under the force of Miharu's death glare, they had all decided to move on from the brutal flip Miharu had given Fuji.
"So, what's this about a test?" asked Sakura to try and get things back to the flow of the original conversation.
Kakashi nodded. "As my partner-in-crime was saying, there is a test to see if you are going to be genin. It will be tomorrow on Training Ground 7. Oh, and don't eat breakfast."
Naruto blinked. "Why?"
"And what is the chances of passing?" asked Miharu.
Fuji changed his "I'm so innocent smile" to an "I'm sadistic and I want to see you in pain" smile. "Only three teams can pass; this test has a 66% fail rate." Now everyone looked fairly shocked.
"Oh, and the reason you guys shouldn't have breakfast?" cut in Kakashi. "You'll just throw it up. Meet us tomorrow at 9:00am."
Both Kakashi and Fuji disappeared. Miharu sighed and rolled her eyes at the dramatic exit.
"I do not know about anyone else, but I am still going to be eating breakfast," murmured Miharu, before standing up and glancing at the others. "Anyone want to get some training in before tomorrow? Nothing too strenuous though."
Naruto nodded, standing up. "I'm in." Naruto glanced at Sasuke. "What about you, teme?"
Sasuke sighed, standing up and dusting his shorts. "I'm in." Sakura, hearing her crush agreeing, cut in as well. "I'm coming too!"
Miharu sighed, knowing the real reason that she was going, but nodded. "Alright, but just to warn Haruno-san, our training is a bit harsh." Naruto grinned, deciding to prank Sakura one more time.
"I still have those bruises from when you sent the tigers on us!" exclaimed Naruto.
Miharu caught on quickly. "Not my fault that Naruto and Sasuke could not run faster."
Sasuke sighed, catching on. "And you had to wait until Hinata and Shikamaru were gone to unleash the tigers on us. And I nearly died too. I lost a lot of blood."
"So did I!" exclaimed Naruto indigently. "I probably would have died too…"
Miharu rolled her eyes. "Naruto and Sasuke are just lucky that I know a bit of medical jutsu."
At this point, Sakura had paled to the point until she was pure white. Her legs shook slightly as she wondered just how insane her new teammates were. Except Sasuke-kun of course.
"That really happened?" Sakura's voice was small.
Miharu, Naruto and Sasuke took one look at her face and started laughing. Well, Sasuke grinned slightly and Miharu chuckled, but still. Sakura got a very angry look on her face as she realized they were pranking her. Sakura's hands balled up into fist and she tried to hit Naruto on the head, he started the prank after all, but hit nothing but air. Naruto had been pulled towards Miharu when she noticed that Sakura was about to hit Naruto. Miharu had pulled him towards her by pulling his collar sharply, causing him to stumble back and dodge the punch in the meanwhile. Naruto was currently rubbing his neck and glared at Miharu. Miharu smirked at Naruto as Sasuke glanced at Sakura.
"But seriously, we usually run about five miles before doing muscle training and chakra control training and then sparring with each other," stated Sasuke. Sakura paled.
"Are you kidding again, Sasuke-kun?" she asked. Miharu shook her head. "No, this time it is actually true. And this is all before lunch." Sakura gaped openly at all three of them.
"Then we usually work on our jutsus," stated Naruto. Sakura paused as something suddenly didn't add up.
"Shikamaru-san sometimes trains with you guys, right?" asked Sakura. "Did he do the conditioning, as well as the five miles?"
Naruto laughed and Sasuke had to stifle his own laughter. Miharu sighed. "He did not at first, but then I brought out my secret weapon." Sakura was about to open her mouth and ask what the secret weapon was, but Miharu interrupted. "And trust me, Haruno-san does not want me to tell her what it is." Sakura closed her mouth hesitantly, as if she was still unsure if she wanted to know the answer to the question or not. Sakura decided that she didn't at the end, however.
Miharu tilted her head to the side. "So, what does everyone think? One mile run, then few conditioning and chakra control exercises then ending with sparring."
"Sounds good," stated Naruto. Sasuke nodded to show that the plan was good with him as well. Sakura was slightly hesitant, it seemed tougher then her training after all, but decided that she would impress Sasuke if she could finish the same training he did!
-x-
One mile later, Sakura was putting her hands on her legs and panting deeply. Her legs were shaking slightly. Sasuke brushed off the slight sweat on his forehead, Naruto was whistling as if had just been strolling calmly in a meadow and Miharu was bouncing on the balls of her feet. Feeling pity for Sakura, Miharu took out a bottle of water and set the shaking Sakura leaning on a nearby tree.
"Long, deep breathes," coached Miharu. "Short, shallow breathes will cause Haruno-san to hyperventilate." Miharu handed the water bottle to Sakura's shaking hands. "Take small sips and swirl it around, then spit it out. Then, take a few small sips."
Sakura nodded and followed Miharu's instructions. She felt a bit better, but she still felt exhausted. Miharu nodded to herself slightly.
"We will continue on with the training, but Haruno-san can relax for a bit if it is needed," stated Miharu. Sakura nodded and sat down, using the tree as a support. As she watched Miharu rip Naruto and Sasuke a new one, she hadn't even realized that she had fallen asleep.
-x-
Sakura woke up in her own bed with a confused look on her face. She realized that she must have fallen asleep last night while the rest of the tea was still training. She wondered who had carried her home and hoped it was Sasuke-kun. Although, she realized that it was probably Miharu instead. At least she wouldn't be the only girl on the team, which was a good thing. Sakura stretched before she realized that today was the day of the final test of becoming a genin.
A/N: And that's the end. To be honest, I really hate Sakura and I went into this going to bash her, but I decided that she pretty much bashes herself. Or it could be that I am too tired to bash her right now. 2:00am in the morning~! And I have to wake up by 7:30am~!
Oh, and the reason why Miharu talks to weird is because she cannot speak in contractions nor can she say the word "you". I meant change the former later since I think it's going to get annoying later on. I'll have to see.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
