Nobuki: Chakra Beast
The Four Tails Arc
Chapter 1- Enter the Hidden Leaf! I'm Nobuki Yoshida!
Nobuki walks in the hot sun down the dirt road. His skin shimmers as he is a black ninja like most of his fellow ninja in Kumogakure. Nobuki pulls his shirt sleeves back to his wrists and adjusts his Cloud headband while walking. His single katana was strapped to his back while his shoulder strap for his sack full of clothes was being held by his right hand.
It was mildly hot and Nobuki was almost sweating. Normally he would just use a transportation jutsu, but he was saving his chakra. Then, he walked past a tree and saw the North Gate of Hidden Leaf Village. Nobuki walked on until at the gate he met the Seventh Hokage, Konohamaru Sarutobi. Konohamaru looked like the Third Hokage in print. He had the same liver spots with the same pipe sticking out his mouth, but the only difference was he didn't have the beard and was a little bit paler.
"Welcome to the village kid. Follow me I'll set you straight," the Hokage said. Nobuki shrugged and followed the Hokage. Nobuki walked along and he passed a bunch of buildings. He looked at them and they looked brand new as if they were built yesterday. This was kind of true in a way because they did just finish rebuilding the village a decade and a half ago. The Hokage started to walk down a set of stairs and Nobuki hurriedly stopped. He was following the Hokage only by the sounds he made and when he heard the Hokage go down he stopped. Nobuki looked down and sighed as he saw the dome shaped walls of the Hidden Leaf Village. He saw the main village where the Ninja Academy was located.
The Hokage was at the bottom so Nobuki jumped over the set of fifty stairs and landed with a gentle touch of the feet. The Hokage looked at the jump and was mildly impressed as he walked forward a straight path. Nobuki followed and he almost lost the Hokage. The road was filled with people shopping, children running, and shop owners trying to advertise their products.
Nobuki decided to roof jump and realized he was being followed. Nobuki started to jump faster and then he found the Hokage at the Hokage Tower waiting. Nobuki landed next to the Hokage and looked around.
"We're being followed," Nobuki whispered to the Hokage.
"I know they're you're new teammates and my stealth group," the Hokage said loudly. Two teenagers a boy and a girl about Nobuki's age stepped out of the shadows of the tarps of the street.
"I thought you guys were stealthy I could hear you guys a mile away," the Hokage said.
"I know sir, but who could stay hidden from the Hokage and the living myth the No-Tail Chakra Beast," the boy said.
"No excuses come with me," the Hokage said dismissively turning his head as if he were a pouting teen himself. The girl punched the boy and started to whisper something as Nobuki turned to follow the Hokage up the outside steps. Nobuki turned back around and smiled.
"You get hit by the girls too?" Nobuki said smiling.
"Yeah, man! Every girl I meet does no matter in the village or outside it," the boy smiled back.
"If you boys wouldn't do such stupid things we wouldn't hit you," the girl said in her defense.
"Hurry up you three!" the Hokage called. Nobuki turned around and walked while the two followed.
"I'm Kohaku," Kohaku said behind Nobuki.
"I'm Haruko," Haruko said.
"Nobuki," Nobuki stated and the three of them walked inside and followed the Hokage. The Hokage opened his office door while the three of them walked up behind him. The Hokage walked in and Nobuki and the two Leaf ninja stumbled in. The Hokage sat at his desk with a view of the village behind him through his glass. The sun was up and was going down slowly.
"Well before I speak to my stealth duo I'm gonna talk to you," the Hokage said pointing at Nobuki," First off this is the village Hidden in the Leaves so treat this as your own village. Now that I made my first statement made the Raikage asked me to tell you that you will be training under this kid Kohaku, the Nine Tails Jinchuuriki…"
"Why'd you have to spoil my surprise gramps?" Kohaku asked in annoyance.
"Haruko please hit him," the Hokage said. Haruko hit Kohaku with such force that he slammed into the wall next to him. Nobuki winced knowing not to mess with her.
"Anyways yeah that is your master. I feel bad for you. Back on topic you guys will be a concrete team and will do regular missions like the rest of the ninja in this village. The Raikage did mention that you would be another Leaf ninja for the next five years under a big argument that I won, so begrudgingly he accepted my request and you will wear a Leaf headband at the Jonin level. I think I covered everything so Nobuki you are dismissed," the Hokage explained handing Nobuki the Leaf headband which Nobuki took.
Nobuki left the room with a nod of confidence to his new teammates returned with the same. Nobuki closed the door and sighed as he removed his Cloud headband and replace it with his new headband. Nobuki tied his Cloud headband to his arm and didn't feel as bad. He was a Leaf and Cloud ninja. Nobuki waited outside until Kohaku and Haruko walked out the room, Kohaku still rubbing his arm where he got hit.
"I don't know where to go to live," Nobuki said shrugging.
"Well the Hokage said you'll live in the big apartment building next to the Hokage Tower and asked us to show you," Haruko said walking forward her flowing curly hair bouncing. Her tan skin shone as she stepped in the sun. Nobuki's mouth dropped open and Kohaku closed it for him raising Nobuki's mouth his with his hand.
"Do you want to go to sleep? If she catches you looking at her like that she'll throw your key across the village burning it with a fire jutsu on the way over," Kohaku explained. Nobuki ran ahead and followed Haruko who raised an eyebrow and walked on. Coincidently, it was actually next to the Hokage Tower so they just showed him his room.
"Here," Haruko said unlocking his door and opening it. Nobuki looked in and it was equipped with a couple lamps a couch and a bed with a full stocked kitchen and bathroom.
"Ok I guess it'll work," Nobuki said stepping inside taking the key from Haruko's open hand. Kohaku walked past Haruko and entered Nobuki's apartment.
"Good thing I live next door I can come over here and watch television," Kohaku said looking at the television closely and walking out the apartment.
"Bye," Kohaku and Haruko said closing the door.
Nobuki sighed and the sun had set. He looked at his window right next to the television. The moon shone and Nobuki remembered how his mom loved to tell him about the Ten-Tails the original tailed beast and the Sage of Six Paths, and Naruto Uzumaki the most powerful ninja in the world. Nobuki dropped his sword and bag on the floor and removed his headbands and jumped on the couch.
"I'm going to be the most powerful ninja in the world," Nobuki said drifting off to sleep.
