Well this is my first attempt at a Naruto fan fic. Naruto is 25 and a Jounin in this fic. The next couple of chapters or so will be the Introduction Arc. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, and never will!
1. Enter: Kurosaki Hiroshi!
The sun rose over a field of endless trees. The light tapped on a huge closed gate and wall, entering the village the great stone wall surrounded. Soon it crept up to a somewhat run down, old apartment building. The light then entered the window of one of the units, a big one room apartment with a bed in the corner with a sign of life to it. Hanging on the wall was a poster of a symbol of a leaf. Nearby was a table with four chairs, on the table were several empty bowls and an empty carton of milk. Suddenly the life form under the sheets began to stir and groan, sounding as the life form didn't want to wake up. Suddenly the covers revealed a man in his mid twenties, wearing a black shirt and boxers. His spikey, bleach blonde hair was messy as if it hadn't been combed in years, his eyes finally opened to reveal the ice blue color in them. The blonde yawned heavily and finally stood up and began stretching. He walked to the kitchen portion of the apartment, opening one of the pantry doors taking out a cup of instant ramen. He turned on the stove to begin heating up some water. Once it started to boil, the blonde poured some of it in the cup and waited. Three minutes later, he began eating it. The blonde decided to eat by the window for some unknown reason. He gazed out over the village which just came to life with people walking through out the streets. Suddenly the blonde heard a familiar bird call and slowly looked to the sky.
"Oh damn it, not now." The blonde said. He walked to his closet and took out some clothes and headed for the bathroom. He closed the door and a few minutes later came out wearing a black and orange jumpsuit. The blonde grabbed his keys, tied on his Konoha forehead protector and walked out the door. He decided to take the rooftops to the Hokage tower.
The blonde reached the Hokage tower and began walking down the hall towards the office. Once he reached the office, he knocked on the door.
"Come in." yelled a female voice through the door. The blonde opened the door to find some other people as well, including a very familiar pink-haired Kunoichi.
"Oh, hey there Sakura-chan." The blonde said with his huge grin.
"What are you doing here Naruto?" Sakura asked who was obviously annoyed.
"I was called here by the bird." Naruto responded still smiling at the pink-haired girl that was close to being shoulder length. Her emerald eyes twinkled, in Naruto's eyes anyways. She was wearing a sleeveless red shirt, pink elbow guards and a short pink skirt and black shorts underneath with her Shuriken holster on her right leg. Her red forehead protector was just above her forehead to keep some of the hair out of her face.
Sakura realized she snapped for no reason. "Sorry Naruto, I'm not having a good morning so far."
"Don't worry about it Sakura-chan."
Finally, an older woman with long blonde hair, light brown eyes wearing a grey, robe like shirt and black paints and high heels entered the room.
"You're all probably wondering why I summoned you all hear today." The woman said.
"Yeah, so Tsunade-baachan, what's up?" asked Naruto. The certainly caused a nerve to pop out of Tsunade's forehead.
"How many times do I have to tell you, Don't call me that!" she yelled. Soon enough, Tsunade regained her composure. "Anyways, I just wanted to inform you all this year you're getting students."
Naruto just stared, he had been had become Jounin about a year and a half ago and was yet to get students. A big trademark grin came across his face and while he stayed calm outside, he was jumping up and down and off the walls inside his head, happy as can be that he can finally have a team of his own.
"You're to report to the academy after lunch today to meet your new team. With that said, you are all dismissed." Tsunade said and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Naruto left the building with Sakura next to him, he was grinning like mad. Sakura noticed and couldn't help but smile herself.
"Wow, my own team." Naruto said. "I can't believe it."
"It's quite a shock; Tsunade-sama is actually giving you a team. I just hope you don't get them all killed." Sakura laughed, teasing. Naruto looked at her with semi-hurt eyes but mostly knew it was joke.
"Ha-ha, very funny Sakura-chan." Naruto spat back. "Well, I'll see you later Sakura-chan, I got some things to do before I head to the academy." Naruto took off running while waving to Sakura.
Sakura giggled. "Bye Naruto."
The morning sun shined brightly over the village. People gathered in the streets, walking into shops, restaurants, and other buildings. They were talking, laughing away without any care in the world, unless they bumped into a twelve year old kid running like if he was being chased by a whole bunch of S-Class missing-nins of some sort.
"Sorry." The boy kept repeating over and over after every person he accidentally ran into. The boy had spiky, medium length hair with a pair of goggles above his forehead. He wore a white t-shirt with the Konoha leaf symbol on the back as well black shorts. His green eyes shined when the sunlight hit them. Just then, the boy ran into what seemed to be the hundredth person today.
"Ouch, damn it Kurosaki!" yelled a bald older man wearing a white t-shirt and apron.
"Sorry about that sir, I'm in a hurry; I'm going to be late." said the boy.
"Just watch were you're going kid." Said the man still annoyed. With that, the boy bowed and continued running toward the academy.
"Ah man, I'm really late." The boy said. "Of all days, why'd I have to wake up late today?" He continued running and finally reached the academy. He ran into his classroom at high speed to see a man wearing his Chunnin vest over his black shirt. He had on black pants and his brown hair was tied in the pony tail at the back of his head. The man also had a very large scar across his face.
"You're late." Said the man.
"Sorry Iruka-sensei. I woke up late." The boy said apologizing.
Iruka sighed. "It's all right Hiroshi, as long as you're here." Hiroshi smiled as he was glad they hadn't started the class yet.
"I thought you weren't going to make it." Said a boy sitting next to him, "It would have been a shame if you missed today of all days."
"Shut up Shiro." Shiro just laughed. Shiro's rather long raven haired constantly got in the way, so you couldn't tell if he was laughing, smiling or even mad. He wore an unusual white robe that his family always wears along with grey pants. His eyes matched the color of his hair, some of the students were some what afraid of him, but not Hiroshi. Shiro and Hiroshi had been friends since forever since their families lived next door to each other.
"Alright class, you all know what today is." Iruka said. The whole class yelled some sort of word meaning yes. "The final exam will be on the bushin jutsu." The children mingled among themselves, all excited in to pass the final exam so they could become genin, at least that's what they thought.
"Ready for this test Hiroshi?" asked a somewhat shy girl sitting next to him on his left side. Her long lavender hair flowed down just like a waterfall. Her hazel eyes were no match for any of the other girls in the class. She wore a purple shirt underneath her black jacket that had the Konoha swirl on the back while the bottom of the jacket hung loosely over her black pants.
"Yes I am Himawari." said Hiroshi while smiling.
"Alright, when I call your name, please come forward." said Iruka. Iruka read off names, the people went to the front and did their bushin jutsu. Some did excellent, one actually didn't do so great.
"This is going to be simple." Shiro said.
"You said it." replied Hiroshi. Iruka read off more names until he started reading off the K's. Himawari and Hiroshi then gave their full attention to finally he called one of their names.
"Kubo Himawari, you're up." Himawari got up and stood in front of the class and made a hand seal.
"Bushin no jutsu." A cloud of smoke appeared and on both sides of Himawari, two exact replicas of her were standing.
"Congratulations Himawari, you passed." Himawari smiled and walked to the table that contained the forehead protector. A man with silver hair and wearing the traditional Chunin vest over his black shirt handed her one.
"Thank you." Himawari said and walked out the class room. Iruka called two more names and finally got to Hiroshi.
"Kurosaki Hiroshi, you're up." Hiroshi got up from his seat and walked to the front of the class. Hiroshi stood there for a couple of minutes and finally did the hand seal.
"Bushin no justu." Another cloud of smoke appeared and on both sides of Hiroshi, two replicas of himself.
"Very good, you did four clones, double the minimum." Iruka said while clapping.
"Thanks." Hiroshi said walking to the table where the silver-haired man stood and handed Hiroshi a forehead protector. Hiroshi took it and bowed a semi-silent thank you and stared at it.
'Wow, I did it. I became a ninja, I'll cherish this forehead protector.' Hiroshi thought to himself while walking out of the class room. Himawari was waiting for him.
"So you passed eh?" she asked.
"Obviously." Hiroshi responded while showing his forehead protector. Himawari had hers tied around her arm.
"Well, aren't you going to put on your forehead protector?" asked Himawari.
"I will later." responded Hiroshi. Just after saying that Shiro came out of the classroom, holding his forehead protector, smiling evilly while look at Hiroshi. "What?"
"I did five bushins." Shiro finally said. After the final exam was over, Iruka called everybody that passed back inside the classroom. Each student sat down in their chairs and awaited.
"Alright, now that you've all passed, now it's time to announce the teams before lunch." Iruka finally said. He looked down at his clipboard and began reading off a team number and three people to be on that team. It was a slow moving progress, but he was getting there.
"Team eleven, Kurosaki Hiroshi." Hearing his name called, he looked up. "Kubo Himawari and Suzuki Shiro, you three are team eleven." Hiroshi was glad that he'd have his friends as his teammates as well, it would be easier for him.
"Cool, we're a team." Hiroshi said giving a thumb ups to both Shiro and Himawari.
"Team twelve will consist of Kamizuki Ankoku, Botsuraku Aki and Burakku Shinji."
Ankoku was the badass of the class, though he was made fun of because of his lavender hair, but he didn't care. His brown eyes didn't go to well with it, but he still didn't care. He wore a black long sleeve shirt with blue pants. He was the quiet, back of the classroom type kids as well, but the badass type when it came to fighting. Aki had long, strawberry kissed hair; it was quite beautiful on her. It went well with her shimmering blue eyes. She wore a lavender jumpsuit type shirt with black pants. Shinji had messy raven hair, it looked as if hurricane force winds blew at it for days but he obviously didn't care much. His dark brown eyes showed a slight shade of loneliness. He wore a black shirt with black pants, the typical ninja attire.
"I find it amusing that the badass squad stays the badass squad." barked Hiroshi.
Himawari laughed and Shiro just cracked a smile. Iruka finally finished naming the teams and dismissed the class for lunch, but not before assigning each team to a classroom to meet their jounin sensei after lunch.
After lunch, Hiroshi, Shiro and Himawari reached the classroom their were assigned to so they could wait and meet their jounin sensei. Himawari and Shiro took a seat in the front row while Hiroshi went to the chalkboard and grabbed an eraser.
"What are you doing?" Shiro asked, slightly annoyed by Hiroshi's actions.
"You'll see." Hiroshi said within an evil chuckle. Hiroshi opened the classroom door slightly and put the eraser near the top and closed the door so the eraser wouldn't fall.
"You really think a jounin is going to fall for that?" Himawari asked, still slightly amused by Hiroshi's actions.
"Hopefully, I need a good laugh." Hiroshi responded. Himawari and Shiro got up from their seat and stood next to Hiroshi looking at the door, waiting for the moment Hiroshi was looking for. Soon enough, a hand reached through the opened space and the door opened, a spiky blonde haired head peaked inside only to have the eraser fall onto the man's head. Hiroshi was about to crack up laughing until the figure vanished in smoke. It was a clone.
"Crap." Hiroshi said, disappointed.
"Thought you could get me with that old trick?" A voice from behind the students said. Hiroshi, Himawari and Shino turned around to see a man with spiky blonde hair wearing and black and orange jumpsuit squatting on the window seal of the open window.
"Well I was hoping." Hiroshi said.
"Please, I did that same trick on my sensei when I first became a ninja. I won't fall for that."
"Damn." That was the only word Hiroshi could say. The blonde man just smiled.
"Come on, we're going to a favorite spot of mine so we can get fully acquainted.
Sitting on top of the fourth Hokage's head were Hiroshi, Shiro, Himawari and their newly appointed sensei.
"Alright guys, I want you three to introduce yourselves." The spiky blonde said.
"Well what do you want to know?" asked Shiro.
"Well the simple stuff, your name, hobbies, goals for the future, stuff like that." said the blonde.
"You go first sensei." Himawari said.
"Alright then, my name is Uzumaki Naruto. My hobbies are eating all types of ramen. And my goal for the future is to become Hokage." The blonde said with a big smile.
"Now let's start with you." Naruto said pointing at Hiroshi.
"My name is Kurosaki Hiroshi; my hobbies are training with my father and brother as well as traveling. My goal is to mainly to become as strong or stronger than my father."
"Interesting Hiroshi, how about you?" Naruto said pointing at Shiro.
"My name is Suzuki Shiro, I don't really have any hobbies and my goal is to make my parents proud of me as a Shinobi."
"Well, that really isn't much of a goal Shiro." Naruto said with some concern.
"I can always develop more later on." Shiro replied.
"Alright, you're next." Naruto said pointing at Himawari.
"My name is Kubo Himawari. My hobby is gardening with my mother and my goal is to become the strongest Kunoichi of all time."
"Well that was great." Naruto said. "Alright, tomorrow morning we will meet up again at the training grounds at five in the morning."
"Five in the morning?" yelled Hiroshi. "Are you freakin' crazy?"
"Five in the morning, that's that." Naruto said and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Son of a, that's too early." Protest Hiroshi, but Naruto reappeared once again.
"Forgot to say, don't eat breakfast, you'll puke." With that said, Naruto left once more.
"Damn it." Was all Hiroshi could say once again.
Night had fallen on Konoha, and a certain blonde ninja was once again at his favorite ramen bar. Hiroshi walked in and didn't notice Naruto right away until he said something.
"Hiroshi, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked.
"Huh? Oh hey Naruto-sensei. I'm here because my parents were sent on a mission, they left money for me to get food and stuff." replied a semi-upset Hiroshi. Naruto saw it in Hiroshi's eyes, a feeling Naruto knew all to well in his younger days. Loneliness.
"Lonely, eh kid?" asked Naruto.
"A bit, but I'm fine." Hiroshi said with a smile.
"That's good." Naruto responded. The two ate their ramen in silence until Naruto broke the silence.
"You should get home and get some sleep Hiroshi, tomorrow's a big day." Naruto said getting up from his seat placing money on the counter.
"I am Naruto-sensei." Hiroshi said also getting up from his seat placing money on the counter. "See you tomorrow."
Naruto waved him off as Hiroshi headed home. Naruto then turned around and started heading back to his apartment.
'Hmm, I wonder how much spunk that kid's got. I'll definitely find out tomorrow.'
