A/N: Greetings one and all! I have returned with a new Naruto fic for you all! This story for anyone who has read Rise of Team Demon will be a sister fanfiction. It will still follow the Elemental Star requirements, but this time Naruto is male and he will be paired only with Yugito. Sorry to tell anyone who read my previous Authors Note for RoTD, but I'm placing everything on the back-burner for now except WWC which I AM working on… and my two Naruto fics.
Disclaimer: Consider this: If I owned Naruto, would I be wasting my time writing this story for a fanfiction site? I think not. I don't own Naruto.
Naruto Uzumaki could not keep the grin from his face as he sat atop the Konoha Shinobi Academy with his new teamates Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno along with their Sensei who according to Iruka-Sensei was named Kakashi Hatake. The young blonde listened eagerly as he awaited his new sensei to introduce himself as he had said he would.
Clearing his throat, the silver-haired cycloptic ninja that was Kakashi Hatake began to speak. "My name is Kakashi Hatake," He began, staring at his new genin team. "My likes and dislikes aren't any of your business. My hobbies? I have lots of hobbies. Dreams for the future...? Hm... I haven't really thought about it." He finished his 'introduction' with what was known as an 'eye smile'. Focusing his attention directly on the pink haired, green eyed genin known as Sakura, he told her, "Alright pinky, you're up first."
Despite Sakura's grumbling about not learning anything about her sensei besides his name, she stood up and prepared to give a proper introduction. "I'm Sakura Haruno. I like..." She glanced over at Sasuke blushing. "My dislikes are loud annoying bakas who don't know when to shut up and constantly pester me for dates," sending a glare Naruto's way, she continued. "My hobbies include flower arranging, reading, and hanging out with my friends. As for future dreams..." casting another glance at the brooding Uchiha brought yet another blush to her face before she sat down again.
"Well that was... informative." Kakashi stated, moving his gaze to Sasuke. "You next."
As Sasuke stood up to begin his introduction, Naruto heard a voice in his mind. 'Wow. Your sensei tells you nothing but his name and then your teammate insults you and all but proclaims her major crush on the brooding emo... nice.' The voice said. Upon hearing the voice, even though he knew to whom it belonged, having heard it ever since he was little, he leapt about a foot into the air, not having expected hearing from her.
Sasuke, who had just finished his introduction which was more or less exactly the same as Kakashi's; turned to glare at the blonde. "Dobe." He spoke before retaking his seat.
"Something the matter, Blondie?" Kakashi inquired, wondering what exactly had caused the genin to jump like that.
Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Oh, sorry Sensei I think something bit me is all." He lied. 'Yugito!' Naruto fumed in his head. 'Give me a bit of warning before you just pop into my head!' He shouted at his childhood friend whom he could tell was smirking at his reaction from the tone of her voice when she responded.
'Oh, sorry Naruto. I promise to warn you next time.' She replied, trying to keep the laughter out of her thoughts. 'Those aren't very good intro's though, wait just a sec and I'll show 'em how it's done!'
'Eh? Yugito, what do you mean by that?' Naruto asked her, wondering just how she intended to do that since he was the only one she could telepathically speak to, but his question was quickly answered when a flash of red and blonde streaked past him, landing the lap of a very surprised Sasuke, causing him to growl and Sakura to screech in outrage.
"C'mon, Emosuke! Lighten up and give us a real introduction! I'll even show you how." Yugito proclaimed, getting up from her spot. "A-hem. I'm known as Yugito Nii. I like Naruto and the rest of my friends as well as ramen. I dislike people who judge others before they get to know them and people who are rude to others. My hobbies are training, talking to Naru-kun, working with Kirabi-sensei to help me work better with my 'tenant', and playing pranks." She gave Naruto an impish grin. "And finally, my goals for the future are to become a strong kunoichi and prove that female shinobi are just as good as male shinobi." Her introduction finished, Yugito took a seat in Naruto's lap, playing with his hair and purring slightly.
Kakashi was for lack of a better word, stunned. A strange blonde kunoichi wearing a dark red shirt with black shinobi pants and a Kumo hitai-ite had shown up out of nowhere and introduced herself as Yugito Nii as if it were the most natural thing in the world, claiming to be friends with said blonde, and that she too had a biju sealed into her, before sitting in his lap purring of all things while she played with his hair. As far as he knew, Kumo and Konoha were not allied. So the question was, what was this girl doing here? "Excuse me, Miss Nii?" Kakashi spoke up. "Would you care to explain exactly why a ninja from Kumogakure is doing here?"
"No problem. I'm here on official orders from my Raikage as well as from your Hokage." The blonde female explained, removing a piece of paper from her pocket and giving it to the copy ninja.
'From the Hokage?' Kakashi thought as he opened the paper and read over its contents. What surprised Kakashi most about it was not what was written, no. What surprised him were the two seals stamped at the bottom of the letter which were the official seals of both the Hokage and the Raikage. The girl had not lied there it seemed. Reading it over quickly, it basically stated that Yugito and Naruto were now to be considered ambassadors between the villages of Kumo and Konoha and that due to these new circumstances, Yugito will be placed on Team Seven. Giving a sigh, Kakashi stuffed the paper in his pocket and turned his full attention to Yugito. "Well, it would seem I'm stuck with you, Yugito. Welcome to Team Seven."
Naruto let out a whoop of joy while Sasuke growled and glared at the Nibi Jinchūriki. Sakura however, vocalized her opinion. "Kakashi-sensei! Why does this Kumo girl get put on our team? I thought teams were supposed to be three man, not four!" 'Shannaro! That's right! No way this Kumo bitch is going to steal Sasuke-kun away from me!" Her inner raged at the very thought of it.
"Because it is a direct order from Lord Hokage." Kakashi said simply. "Blondie, I believe it was your turn to introduce yourself."
Naruto nodded and stood up, moving Yugito from his lap as he did. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" He declared loudly. "I like Yugito-chan, ramen, Jiji, leaning new jutsu, and playing pranks. I dislike the three minutes it takes to make instant ramen, Temes who look down on others, and people who judge others without getting to know them." Taking a breath, he continued. "My hobbies are training, playing pranks, and planning new pranks with Yugito-chan. And my dreams for the future: I'm gonna be the Hokage!"
At this announcement, Yugito grinned and Sakura and Sasuke rolled their eyes and groaned.
"You know Naruto," Kakashi spoke. "Being the Hokage requires a lot of hard work and dedication."
The whisker-marked blonde just smirked. "No need to worry about that, Sensei. I'll become Hokage no matter what, and I'll be the best one ever!"
Chuckling at his student's antics, Kakashi cleared his throat before speaking once more. "Right, I need to go speak to the Hokage. You are all dismissed for the day, but you are to meet at training ground thirteen at six tomorrow morning. Oh, and don't eat breakfast, otherwise you'll just throw it up." Leaving his students with that thought, the cycloptic Jonin vanished in a swirl of wind and leaves.
No sooner had Kakashi left then did Sasuke rise to his feet and stand in front of Yugito, glaring at her.
"Something the matter, Emosuke? You've been staring at me since I showed up. I get that I'm beautiful, but you're not my type." Yugito said, stretching out a bit as she rose from her seat.
"Fight me." Sasuke said simply.
The Nibi Jinchūriki pretended to think about it for a second before giving the last Uchiha a feral grin. "I don't usually fight losers, but since you asked so nicely, I'll make an exception. What're the stakes?"
"You and the dobe are the only losers here! If I win you and the dobe quit the team." The Uchiha replied, believing he already had this match won.
"Fine, and if I win, you have to go out on a date with Pinky here." Yugito stated her own stipulations, nodding her head towards Sakura who was conflicted about who she wanted to win. On the one hand, she hated the idea of her precious Sasuke-kun losing to anyone, but on the other hand, this could be her chance to get an advantage over her rival Ino and finally go on a date with her Sasuke-kun.
Not even bothering to think twice about the request, Sasuke agreed to the terms. "You're on. I hope you and the dobe have fun back at the academy." He sneered.
"You should start thinking about what you're gonna do on your date, Teme." Naruto added in his own two cents. "Yugi-chan and I will meet you at training ground six in thirty minutes." He told the Uchiha before he and Yugito left via leaf and lightning shushin respectively.
Meanwhile, across the village at the Hokage Tower, Kakashi had just arrived and been ushered into the Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat at his desk glaring down at the enemy of all Kage: paperwork, with enough killing intent to send even the most seasoned of ANBU running in terror. He had just been considering torching it with a Katon jutsu when Kakashi entered. "Ah, Kakashi, I've been expecting you."
"Lord Hokage." Kakashi greeted with a respectful bow. "I've come to speak to you about the new genin you added to my team."
Shuffling through his paperwork, Sarutobi pulled out the letter from the Raikage. "Ah, you mean Yugito Nii. Was there some problem with her?"
"Of course not, Lord Hokage. I was merely concerned with having more than one Jinchūriki on my team and the possible affects they she and Naruto might have on each other." Kakashi replied.
Moving now to take out his favourite pipe, he placed it in his mouth and lit it and was about to reply when another voice spoke up before him.
"Ain't no need to worry 'bout Nii and He. They'll get along just great, see." A large dark skinned man who had just appeared on the Hokage's window ledge rapped.
"Ah, Kirabi, I'd wondered where you wandered off to." The Fire Shadow said as he took a puff on his pipe.
Kakashi regarded this strange man for a moment before speaking. "What makes you think Yugito and Naruto will get along?"
"Listen well, Yo! I'm the man who floats like a butterfly and stings like a Killer Bee! The Jinchūriki of the Hachibi!" Kirabi introduced himself. "Listen up 'cause I'm only gonna say this once." He spoke before finally becoming serious. "Long ago, after the Rikudo Sennin separated the Jūbi's chakra and they formed into the nine biju we know today, several of them got together and actually mated. Two of which being the Kyūbi and the Nibi." He paused, letting this sink in with Kakashi. "Now, because of this, after the two of them were sealed, and after their Jinchūriki became old enough to become aware of them, they were granted an ability which allows them to speak to each other in something similar to a telepathic manner. This ability is similar to a mental link between them and allows them to tap into a read each other's thoughts and emotions. Should Naruto or Yugito wish, they can set up this link with any other Jinchūriki they so please." Kirabi finished his explanation and silence filled the room for a moment. "In short, ever since Naruto and Yugito were kids, they and their biju have been in constant communication with each other."
To say Kakashi was shocked by this information was an understatement as his visible eye widened quite a bit and he stood completely still as his brain processed this new information as the Hokage sat there chuckling. After about five minutes, the masked Jonin unfroze and nodded dumbly at the Eight Tails Jinchūriki. "So… what you're telling me is that those two can not only speak to one another in their heads, and have been doing so since they were children? This would mean they know all about each other and their respective jutsu, thus making them quite the effective team…" He said, going over the various possibilities of this in his mind. "Tell me, Killer Bee-Sama, would Naruto and Yugito be able to pass this ability on to non Jinchūriki such as myself and his other teammates?"
"Sorry to tell ya Hatake, but unless you got a biju sealed in your gut, you'd need to be a Yamanaka to be able to communicate like that." Kirabi said, his interest suddenly switching to the Hokage who was watching his crystal ball closely, laughing to himself.
With curiosity getting the better of the two Jonin, they joined him at his desk and peered into the crystal ball as well, surprised when they saw Yugito and Sasuke preparing to fight. "Well," Sarutobi said calmly. "At the very least this will provide us a chance to see exactly where young Yugito is with her skills."
"Hn," Sasuke sneered as his battle against Yugito began. "I'm going to end this with one shot." He declared, running through hand seals. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" From the Uchiha's mouth shot a massive fireball which raced straight towards Yugito and collided, causing a large explosion. "Goodbye, bitch." That said, he turned around began stalking off the field.
"Aww. Is that all you have, Little Emosuke?" Yugito's taunting voice called from behind Sasuke, causing him to spin around and see the Kumo Genin running through her own hand seals. "This fight… has only just begun!"
