(Hi again! Sorry all through the first chapter I accidentally spelled Naruto's last name wrong…Not only that but I spelled it right in the title. Stupid huh? Anyway here's the second chapter. Now that Naruto's dream is ruined let's see how he deals with this crushing knowlage.)
Chapter 2: The Hat of the Huga Clan.
In the main household of the Huga clan Lord Hiyashi and his daughters Hinata and Anabi were eating dinner. Hinata looked down at her plate. She was thinking about Naruto and what happened at the naming ceremony. "Poor Naruto. That dream meant everything to him..." She said accidentally out loud.
"If you want my opinion, the kid's nuts." Said Anabi bluntly. "I don't know why Konahamaru thinks he's so great! I mean, look what he's teaching him! That kid got what he deserved. Sickening!" She shivered.
"Yes, but it's used to stun your opponent..." Said Hinata in a shy and hesitant voice. "I mean...it could be very useful..." She blushed embarrassed at what she was saying.
"It's a disgrace to women everywhere." Said Anabi.
"All right, enough of this!" Said Lord Hiyashi.
"Oh daddy. Your just embarrassed that you fainted too!" Said Anabi. "That was so funny your nose was bleeding everywhere!" (Ha ha! Strike one!)
"That's it! Anabi go to your room! And your not to come out till the end of the month! You can leave for training and meals, that's it!" Said Hiyashi, more embarrassed than angry.
"But daddy!" Anabi protested.
"No buts, GO!" Said Hiyashi.
"Fine! Mermmer mermmer mermmer..." She said, saying something to herself I'd rather not repeat.
"Father...don't you think your...maybe being...a little harsh?" Said Hinata.
He took off the hat he was wearing, and said. "Hinata what's this?"
"Um, the hat of the Huga?" Said Hinata.
"Yes, and what does it do?" Hiyashi asked.
"I covers your bald spot." She said as she pointed to his receding hair-line.
"It's NOT bald!...It's...thinning." He said. "Anyway this hat does more than cover a slightly receding hair-line. It holds power and knowledge that only the head of the Huga can know, if anyone else got a-hold of this it would spell doom for our clan. One day you will wear this hat..."
"I'M GONNA BE BALD!!" Hinata squeaked, thinking Naruto would never like her then.
"Thinning! Anyway you'll never lead the Huga clan unless you learn to be responsible, and run the clan with an iron fist. Like your father." He put something back on, but it wasn't the hat. It was a cushion. (Ya, and he had a proud look on his face too. Ooh, strike two!) Someone had used a form of substitution jutsu on the hat.
"Oh no! Umm father..." Said Hinata. She had noteced the switch right away.
"What is it?" Said Hiyashi, totally unaware that he was wearing a cushion. (Ooh strike three! your dense! -)
"Your umm hat is gone." Said Hinata in the sweetest voice she could.
Hiyashi took the cushion off his head. A look of horror was on his face."What the? THE HAT IS GONE!!"
"It's ok father we can buy you a new hat..." Said Hinata a little scared.
"DIDN'T YOU HEAR A WORD I SAID?! THAT HAT CONTAINS SECRETS KNOWN ONLY BY THE HEAD OF THE HUGA HOUSEHOLD! ME!!"
"But father...Why did why did you hide the secrets in a hat?" Asked Hinata confused.
"IT WASN'T MY IDEA! THIS IS BAD!! THIS IS VERY BAD!! IF THE THIEF PUTS IT ON IT'LL MEAN THE END OF THE HUGA!!"
Meanwhile Itachi Ran through the trees in his hands was the hat. But he didn't plan to put it on. No, he had other plans for it. As he ran he ran right passed the Irumishi Noodle shop, were Naruto was crying his eyes out. The square was bustling with the noise of celebration. Nearby some kids were being entertained by a man in one of those mascot outfits.
He was joined by Konahamaru who said the worst thing possable. "How's the 6th Hokage!" Naruto just cryed harder. "Wow.The pressure already setting in..."
"No Konahamaru! I didn't become Hokage!" He said, rather agitated at Konahamaru. Naruto felt embarrassed. He wasn't a kid. Why was he crying?
"What? But why boss?" Asked Konahamaru.
"Lady Tsunade says I'm a kid..." He said as he stopped crying all together, trying to prove himself right.
"A KID?! But that's like saying I'm a kid!" Said Konahamaru. (Actually, Konahamaru's still only 12 years old so technically he is a kid. Naruto's 15 so he's a teenager.)
"Here's your ramen kiddy bowl." said Ayame the owner's daghter who worked there.
"Umm, I'm suppose to get a toy with this." She through him a toy kunai.
"I'm going home..." Said Naruto.
"You sure?" Asked Konahamaru through a mouth full of ramen.
"Ya...I'm not in a ramen mood..." Said Naruto.
"Here's your triple pork miso ramen." Said the chef.
Naruto stopped...that was his favorite ramen. He didn't know why it was so good. There was just something about it...He turned back to the counter, and said. "A triple pork miso ramen bowl huh?...I guess I could use one of them..."
"That's the spirit boss!" Konahamaru said as he patted Naruto on the back. "Waiter! We need another one over here!"
They gave Naruto a bowl, and at the same time they scarfed the ramen down. "Boy, Konahamaru that hit the spot." Said Naruto. "Waiter two more please!"
"Umm dad are you sure that recipe is right?" Asked Ayame, looking at the cook book.
"That's what says. But I know there's something I'm missing..."
They ate their bowls down. "Oh waiter!"
They ate more..."Waaaaiiiiteeerrrrrr!"
And more."Waaaiiitooorrr!"
"WAITER!!"
"Uh-oh!" Said the chef. "Umm Ayame we've got a problem!"
"What is it father?" She asked
"Um you know that ingredient you were worried about..." Said the chef. He was sweating like crazy.
"The saki?" Said Ayame.
"Gulp! Yup...Um... Ayame..." Said the chef. "I think I made a mistake...you see every time I put the saki in last right?"
"Yes..." Said Ayame a little scared.
"Well It says here that I'm suppose to cook the saki with the ramen so it would burn up all the alcohol but still have the same taste...he he..."
"Well that explains that." Said Ayame. She pointed at Naruto and Konahamaru who were out in the street. They had grabbed a hold of one of the mascots in the street who was dressed up as a peanut. (Sorry! I couldn't resist! -)
"Hey everybody!" Said Naruto clearly drunk. Poor Konahamaru was even worse off than Naruto. "This little number goes out to my two bestest friends in the whole world! Kona...Kona... Konahamerfrssen...and this peanut guy! It's called..." Both Naruto and Konahamaru said it at the same time. "WAITER!!" And then they fainted.
The next morning,wile Lady Tsunade was giving Sasuke some advise on how to be a good Hokage. Somewhere else Naruto was waking up from his hang-over with a splitting headache.
"Hay...Kid wake up..." Said the chef. "Are you ok?"
"Ya...Umm" Said Naruto. He noticed that Konahamaru was asleep face down on the ground. "Konahamaru! Hay buddy!" Naruto noticed the time. "Uh-oh look at the time! I was suppose to show up for my missions an hour ago! Granny Tsunade will..." He squinted his eyes with hatred. "Granny Tsunade..."
Meanwhile, Hiyashi and Hinata rode in on a carriage pulled by deer. It stopped right in front of the of the door of the house of the Hokage.
"Stay in the carriage Hinata! This won't take long..." Said Hyashi, who was wearing another hat to cover his bald spot.
"Father please don't do anything rash." Begged Hinata.
But he ignored her. He stormed into the building, up the stairs to the room were Tsunade and Sasuke were.
"TSUNADE!" Yelled Hyashi.
"What is it Hyashi?" Asked Tsunade.
"You stoled the hat of the Huga you cannot deny! But clever as you are you left one cunning piece of evidence at the seen of the crime!" Hyashi held out a piece of paper. It was a note. Tsunade read it.
"I stoled the hat. SIGNED LADY TSUNADE!!" She yelled outraged. "You can't honestly believe I wrote that?"
"We'll see." He looked at the paper with his byakugan. Then he looked at her hand. "Ah-ha! Your finger prints are all over the note! And not just that..." He held out a blond hair. "This too was found at the seen."
"This is crazy! I DIDN'T STEAL IT!" She yelled. Just then the phone rang, but the answering machine took the call.
"Hello Tsunade. This is Zen, the guy you sold the hat to, Hyashi's hat. Anyway I just wanted to say thank you, for selling me the hat, Hyashi's hat, which is now in Hell City. Bye.
"Umm, wrong number." Said Tsunade nervously.
"THE HAT OF THE HUGA IS NOW IN THE FORBIDDEN HELL CITY!!" Yelled Hyashi.
"It's not what it looks like!" Said Tsunade.
"PREPARE TO DIE!!" Yelled Hyashi. Sasuke blocked him right in time and said. "Don't be so hastie."
"LET GO!"
"Please! I'm not a crook! Ask anyone they'll voudge for me!"
"All right." He turned Sasuke "Do you have anything to say about Tsunade."
"I, -burp- have something to say about granny Tsunade!" Said Naruto. He was standing in the doorway still pritty drunk.
"Naruto! You came here just in time! Tell Hyashi all about me!" Said Tsunade.
"I've known Lady Tsunade for many, -burp- years..." Naruto started. " And I always thought she was a great Hokage..."
"See a great Hokage!" Said Tsunade.
"But now I know that SHE'S A GREAT BIG JERK!!" Yelled Naruto. "I DESERVED TO BE HOKAGE! BUT YOU DIDN'T MAKE ME HOKAGE, CAUSE YOU THINK I'M A KID! Well I'm 100 precent MAN! And this MAN has something to say to yooouuu..." Naruto stuck out his tong and blew a big raspberry at Tsunade. "THERE! I think I made my point."
Tsunade stood there staring at Naruto. Her mouth hung open...
"Any other takers...No ok then." He positioned himself for the 8 trigrams maneuver...Naruto recognised this stance. He snaped out of it. Then the wheels in his head started moving again. If that move was used on Tsunade in her currant state. She would die.
"NOOOOO!!" He jumped in front of Tsunade. "I'm flattered you would do this for me. But being Hokage isn't worth killing Tsunade over."
"I'm not doing this for you! She stold my hat."
"Your...hat..." Said Naruto thinking. "Is this guy's nuts" "Umm Lord Hyashi. Don't you think it's a little harsh to kill someone over a stupid hat..."
"You don't understand! That hat holds the many secrets of the Huga clan."
"You put them in a hat?..." Said Naruto, still thinking he was nuts.
"It wasn't my idea!" Said Hyashi.
"Still...What if I got the hat?"
"YOU? GO TO HELL CITY!" He started laughing uncontrollably. "No one who's ever gone to Hell City has ever returned. What makes you think you could do it? Your just a kid."
"I'M NOT A KID!" Naruto yelled. "I've fought a lot of things. How bad can Hell City be?" Naruto thought.
"Move, so I can give this thife what she diserves!"
"NO! I WON'T LET YOU!"
"Fine then...I'LL JUST HAVE TO KILL YOU BOTH!!"
"FATHER!" Said Hinata, who was standing in the doorway. "Please I beg you don't do this!"
"HINATA!"
"Where's your compassion? Naruto is willing to risk his life to save Lady Tsunade! Can't you give him a chance?...May I remind you of your little problem." She took off his hat, revealing his bald spot. Naruto burst out laughing. "Your going bald now that's just hilarious!" He said.
"Alright! Alright!" He said as he took back his hat. "But when your little hero doesn't return. I'll kill that woman!" He turned to Naruto. "You have ten days!"
But Konahamaru poped up out of nowere and said. "He can do it in nine!"
"Eight!" Said Hyashi.
"Seven!" Said Konahamaru.
"Six!" Said Hyashi.
Before Konahamaru could say anything else he was tackled by Naruto and Tsunade.
"Six it is than!" Said Hyashi. "You can take one Ninja with you. Until the hat is returned the thief shall remain frozen were she now stands." He used a freezing jutsu on Tsunade and left.
Hinata stayed behind. "Naruto. I'm sorry my father was like that...-gulp-" Hinata was blushing. "The rode to Hell City is dangerous." It's the homeland of the Akoutskii...Demons and rogue ninja are said to line it's path. The Akoutskii leader guards the borders...Umm here take this scroll." Hinata handed Naruto a red scroll. "I stoled it from my father... It will take you back to the hidden leaf village...I have to go good luck Naruto" She ran out and the moment she reached the carriage she fainted...
Naruto tuned to Lady Tsunade. "It's ok Lady Tsunade Sasuke and I..." But Sasuke interrupted him.
"Naruto I can't go. If anyone found out what happened here there would be a riot. So someone needs to keep the village under check."
"O.K. then I'll ask someone else." Asked Naruto.
"No, you won't you can't tell anyone what happened here." Said Sasuke.
"Then what am I suppose to do." Asked Naruto.
"Take Konahamaru." Sasuke suggested.
"What?" Said Naruto, shocked.
"Yeah boss I'll do it I've learned allot since you taught me! I know allot of jutsu!" Said Konahamaru.
"It seems I don't have any other choice..." Said Naruto. "Lady Tsunade there's no need to fear your life is in good hands."
Lady Tsunade looked at them through the Ice. And thought to herself. "I'm doomed!"
