Okay please bear with me as this is my first attempt at a fan fiction story.
So any comments, flame or just whatever, leave 'em. Thanks.
Chapter 1: Memories
A light breeze of little importance, moved lazily through the woods of the land of Fire leading the wind swept leaves to the gates of Konahoa. Or more commonly know as Village Hidden in the Leaves. Hidden in Leaves it was. Surrounded by a lush forest and only one dirt road leading to the main gate, makes it hidden till one is right there looking at the tall oak doors. Enter those doors and one is also welcomed to a busy community with well-built buildings spread a good long distance toward the side of a very tall cliff, where there are faces carved on the side. To the villagers it was a sign of respect to the former Hokages who has served and/or died protecting Konahoa and its people. However to those who know this it's not that interesting, just regular news that is almost similar to other Shinobi villages. And this story isn't about the Hokages. It is about a little journey that a future Hokage had that made a bigger impact on his life that what one would think.
"Oi Kiba-kun, have you seen Naruto anywhere? We have a mission and I can't find him," a young pink haired teenager, roughly the age of 15, asked while running up to another teen.
"Yeah I did Sakura-chan," the teen answered his green eyed friend. Kiba as he was called had a black coat that looked to be made of leather, over some black slacks that end above the shin, and black sandals. He had brown hair, red curved triangle marks on each side of his face right under the eyes, and had a bandana with a metal plate in the center positioned on his forehead. It bore a mark that basically shouted that he is a Konahoa ninja. The mark was a swirl with a triangle on the bottom left of the swirl, or as people would say, it looked like a symbol of a leaf. Which in fact it was.
"ARF!" A dog answered not wanting to be left out. This wasn't the typical run of the mill dog. It was a nin dog but larger than a great dane. Big enough to were Kiba himself can ride on him. Its name is Akamaru.
"You guys are life savers! Where is he?" Sakura asked. She her self had short pink hair that parted down the middle with a Konahoa headband place in the center of her hair as to keep it in place. She was wearing a red vest that ended at her waist where a mini white skirt was positioned. Underneath were black spandex, and black sandals.
"He was over in the big tree close to the south side of the gate. Looked like he was sleeping. I don't under stand him sleeping in trees, but have fun waking his ass up," Kiba answered with a smile on his face. He patted Akamaru's head and stared to go back to his little walk. Sakura turned around and ran down the street to get her loud mouth friend.
Just were Kiba described in a more than average size tree, sat the boy that Sakura was looking for. He had blonde spiky hair, whisker type marks on both sides of his cheeks, a black and orange top with orange slacks that were just like Kiba's. On his left leg a carrying case was attached. The Konahoa headband was also on his forehead. The young man's head got closer to his chest with the deep steady breathing that told everyone that he was sound asleep. And yes he was dreaming. However, it was not a dream about eating or nightmarish at all. In fact it was more or less like a flow of memories wove into a dream. One in particular, it seemed, made his eyebrows contort to the angry look. His mouth opened just enough to let out a low statement of, "I vow too win!" And just like it was nothing the moment was gone to another of a grief stricken facial expression. The arms that dangled to his side tensed up as his hands balled into tight fists. Another statement left his sleeping form, "I'll bring you back! Even by force if I have too!" those emotions soon faded away to more steady breathing and relaxation. Sadly the rest that he loved getting was in mortal danger due to the fact that Sakura was looking up at him with a twitching eyebrow.
"Why, of all the two people in my squad do I have to have the one that sleeps in trees in the middle of the day? OI NARUTO! WAKE UP! WE GOT A MISSION!" Sakura screamed making an echo reverberate around the area. Naruto on the other hand just scratched his head and tilted his head away from the shouting. This made Sakura's anger meter rise. "Okay, tried it the nice way Naruto so don't get pissed with me about this." She raised her fist, focused her chakra, and let the tree have it. The poor tree gained a crack that went straight to the top and split apart falling in two. The sleeping ninja awoke with a start meeting the ground face first. "Told you." Sakura muttered with a small smile.
"Y-You didn't h-have to do that Sakura-chan," a timid and soft voice said. Sakura turned her head to see Hinata Hyuga. She had long light black hair, that in the sunlight almost looked like it was a dark shade of purple, eyes that had no pupils but were a very light shade of lavender, a Konahoa headband around her neck, a dark purple and light purple jacket, with blue slacks just like Naruto's, and to finish it off black sandals. Almost the same pattern huh. A little hint of a blush could be seen on her fair skin as her eyes moved to look at Naruto, who was shaking his head and moving away from the destroyed tree.
"Sorry Hinata-chan, I didn't know you where there, but it was the only way I could get him up," Sakura replied with a small smile on her face.
"What in the hell was that all about?" Naruto called over still rubbing his head. "Geez Sakura-chan, can't I sleep with out you doing that?"
"Not when we have a mission. Kakashi-sensei, for once, is waiting for us. Sadly it is only a C-rank mission so it wont be tough. Anyway, sensei is at the gate waiting. Get what you need and get down there." Sakura finished and left the two shinobi standing there. Naruto just sighed and rolled his eyes. That's when he noticed that Hinata was standing there, and not blushing normally as she does.
"Oh hey there Hinata. I didn't see you there," he greeted with one of his famous giant smiles. Hinata's face flared up to its regular cherry color at his greeting.
"H-h-hi N-Naruto-kun, I-I didn't m-mean to interrupt you t-two.." She stuttered avoiding his blue eyes and trying not to faint nor blush more than what she was doing.
"Oh you didn't interrupt us. She was the one who interfered with my sleeping but oh well can't be helped. Anyways sorry to do this Hinata but as you know I am need. Got to show what the future Hokage can do." He gave the smile again and bolted towards the gate where he met up with Kakashi, Sakura, and Sai.
