Chapter 1 - Over by christmas...
Private Uzumaki Naruto. Sounds good doesn't it?! Captain Uzumaki Naruto sounds better, but it'll come. Perhaps even one day General? Maa, thinking a little far ahead there... besides what I really want is to become Uzumaki Naruto, War Hero! Yep today I joined up, I am now officially a trainee member of His Majesties Army, and the training starts tomorow. I can't wait!
Oh wait, you don't know what happened yet do you? Hehe, I guess I can be a little forgetful, although I'm not as much of an idiot as some people say. Well I guess it began a while ago, when that damned greedy immoral Rei-dono started building up his army. Rei-dono is the leader of the Akatsuki government in River country, and has always been jealous of Konoha's influence around the world. He wanted to build an empire bigger and better than konoha's, or that's what the newspapers say...
Anyway Konoha, feeling threatened, decided that it should form an 'Alliance' with Suna and Wave country so the three of us didn't feel so threatened, but then Rei-dono went and allied himself with Sound! Then things began to get really bad. Kimmimaro, the heir to the throne of Sound, was assasinated. Of course Rei-dono used it as an excuse to attack Konoha, claiming that the terrorist activity in sound was supported by us! With (the leader in Sound) Orochimaru's military help Rei-dono declared war! This was all 3 months ago, and King Jiraya has been getting us to sign up to fight for Konoha and I, Uzumaki Naruto, am going to become a war hero, like Yondaime who fought for our country and made Konoha great. That was back when Sarutobi was king.
Yep, I can just tell that I am going to do it, dattebayo! I best get through training quickly, I hear it's all going to be over by christmas!
"Naruto, be quiet! uh...so troublesome" The guy in the bed across from me yelled a bit. Well I can't help it if I cut my finger on the stupid bayonette blade, those things are harder to attatch to a gun than you might think. Captain Iruka, or as he lets us call him, Iruka-sensei, told me to practice doing that more. I guess I was doing it a little slower than some, but he didn't have to give me extra work!
Iruka-sensei told us he fought in the mist a while ago, and the generals noticed he had a knack for teaching others so he was put in charge of teaching this facility. He has this Huge scar right across his nose, but refuses to tell us how he got it, keeps saying it's a story for a rainy day, but it hasn't rained yet!
The government is trying to make joining up more fun, so some of us have been put in 'pal's battalions'. When I joined up a few guys I know from back home were put in the same battalion as me. There's Shikamaru, Kiba, Shino, Chouji and Lee. They all came from my village, went to the same school as me although Lee is a year older than me. I guess I should tell you I'm 19! Finished school when I was 16 and used to have a job as a farmhand, gave me some muscle if nothing else.
Chouji went off to become a Chef at a resteraunt in the capital, but came back to visit his family and joined up.
Shikamaru had a job at the bank, he was offered a place at University but his family couldn't afford it. He's been saving up, and was doing really well at his job despite being so lazy.
Shino is weird, I didn't really get to know him back in school. He ended up going off to college to learn about farm pests, really into bugs for some reason.
Lee worked on another farm nearby, I saw him occasionally but don't really know him. He has really weird looks, including super bushy eyebrows, but he's a fast runner. He won the local race several times.
Kiba is loud and annoying, he's the son of the local vet and knows loads about animals, especially dogs, he used to help out by training the farmers dogs to herd sheep, and taught the guard dogs. He had this amazingly big white dog called Akamaru that used to follow him everywhere, when he was a puppy he snuck him into our classroom all the time. Our teacher wasn't impressed.
We graduate training next week! after that we are getting sent to the 'front'. When we get there we might be given special tasks if we have the right skills. Chouji said he want's to be an army chef, so I guess he'll do that, and Kiba will probably end up working with the animals they use, apparently dogs are sometimes trained to carry notes, although pigeons are more common.
Maa, I can't wait to get to the front. They say there hasn't been much action yet, just a lot of sitting around making plans and digging trenches. When I get there that will all change. Uzumaki Naruto will charge in there and defeat the enemy. I will get to arrest Rei-dono and save Konoha!
Good plan, ne?
Eh well I guess I should find a bandage or something for my finger, hard to practice rifle shooting if I keep bleeding all over the gun.
Alright, more chapters to come, if you notice any mistakes, problems etc let me know, currently looking for a beta! message me!
