Chapter 2: Setting the Foundations
[The Next Morning]
Naruto woke up to the smell of pancakes, bacon, and eggs. He looks to see the girl wasn't in the bed she was sleeping in. Yawning, Naruto stands up and starts to stretch. *Crack* *Pop*. "Ahh... That felt good.", Naruto exclaimed as he rubbed his neck.
"You have a nice sleep?", a soft voice said behind him.
"Yeah. But it was a killer on the neck.", Naruto said as he turns around. Naruto freezes once he sees the girl that was knocked out the night before in nothing but an apron.
"You alright? Na-ru-to-kun~?", she purred.
Naruto's brain began to shut down as this girl, Momo was it?, stalked towards him.
"What's wrong Naruto-kun?", drawing ever closer to the point where her mouth is next to his ear. "Cat catch your tongue?", she purred into his ear. "Or would you say devil?" As her tail swung loosely to his cheek, slowly caressing it.
Naruto shivered in pleasure as her hot breath tickled the hairs on his ear.
Momo giggled at his reaction, glad that he found her attractive. "Don't get too hasty Naruto-kun, the f-u-n has just begun.", she continued as she caressed his cheek.
Suddenly, a breeze went by as Momo blinked, seeing that her 'prey' disappeared. *Slam!* She turned to see the bathroom door closed. Momo pauses before giggling a storm. "That was so much fun. That boy is... intriguing.", she said before continuing breakfast.
A few minutes later, Naruto walked out of the bathroom wearing orange sweat pants and a black t-shirt with a red swirl on the front. "That wasn't funny Momo.", he said in an annoyed tone.
She giggled. "But it was so much fun Naruto-kun!", she said.
"Just put some clothes on and we can talk.", he sighed as he sits down and pointing towards the drawer. She smiles and nods before walking towards the drawer, swaying her hips along the way. Naruto sighs and walks out of the room to give her some privacy.
She comes back a little bit later, in an orange tank top with black shorts. She then puts plates down, and they start to eat. A couple of minutes later, Naruto decides to ask some questions.
"So, who are you really and how did you end up in my bathroom?", he asked.
"Well I am an alien from the planet Deviluke. I am devilukien, the strongest race in the galaxy!", she explained.
Naruto took in the information for a second, before nodding. "That would explain the tail, but how and why did you come here?", he asked.
Momo pouted at the lack of enthusiasm. "Mou~! Why didn't you freak out like other boys would?", Momo asked.
Naruto shrugged. "I'm pretty good at telling if someone is lying or not. Comes with living on the streets for most of your life.", he said in a bored tone.
Momo was shocked at this revelation before mentally smirking. 'All the more interesting.', she thought. Momo was growing more and more interested in this boy since last night.
'I want to find all your little secrets Naruto-kun. And maybe afterward I'll give you a reward... Hehe', Momo thought, with a small smirk and glaring at him with a hint of lust.
Naruto shivered at the look. 'I don't even want to know what is going through her mind right now.', he thought. Naruto then looks at the time and freezes. He needed to meet with jiji this morning!
"Well Momo, I need to go! I have an appointment this morning with jiji so see you later!", he said before putting on his shoes and leaving. Momo blinked and then giggle at his antics.
[Hokages Office a few minutes later]
Naruto walked through the door of the Hokage's office. "Sorry I'm late jiji! I woke up late!"
Chuckling. "It is quite alright Naruto-kun. You're actually right on time.", he replied.
Naruto then notices several other people in the room. "Am I interrupting something jiji?", Naruto asked.
"Not at all, we were all just waiting for you Naruto-kun.", the old monkey chuckled. "Now onto business. Iruka, I want you to tell me Naruto's progress during the academy.", the Hokage asked.
"Well sir, if I were to put it into account. Naruto grades are abysmal compared to others. He was dubbed as the "dead-last" as he barely knows anything about history, theory, or other academic subjects. His bukijutsu is barely passable and his taijutsu is more of a brawlers than an actual style. Naruto's chakra control is also non-existent, but I blame his massive chakra. He also has a tendency to be loud and brash, and to resistant to authority.", Iruka said finally finished with his report.
Naruto's felt ashamed at this point and mad that his jiji would make Iruka-nii point out his faults.
The hokage nodded. "I thought so... I believe that it is mostly not his fault but how he was trained up to this point.", he said.
"What do you mean Hokage-sama?", Iruka asked while the rest of the people was interested as well.
"Naruto try telling us about your early life in the academy, before having Iruka as your teacher.", Hiruzen asked.
Nodding. "Well in most of my classes without Iruka-nii, I was either kicked out, laughed at and degraded by the teachers, or denied information. Each time I asked a question, I was laughed at by the teacher and humiliated in front of the class, he or she then kicked me out for talking out of line. They would also kick me out when important information like sexual education which I had no idea about until Ryouko-nee-chan and some of the nee-chans from the brothels taught me.", he said.
The room was tense after that, most of the others were glaring into the floor or at the wall. "Is there anything else Naruto-kun, what about your textbooks and other material?", Hiruzen asked trying to restrain his killing intent.
"Well, my textbooks for the most part were very old or ripped pages that withheld information. My kunai and shuriken were dulled to the point that they would bounce off if they didn't have enough power into them, messing up my accuracy. Other than that, my materials were fine. Though the teachers would tell me to do stances in one way while teaching the others in another. I tried to correct myself by watching the others, but they would punish me if I did that. I also noticed my test were considerably harder than the other student's test, and would cross an answer wrong if I get it right. It got to the point where I just gave up and ignored all that they told me. I did however got better in Iruka-nii's class but not to much.", he said, finishing his explanation.
Now the room was filled with killing intent from everyone in the room, but Naruto wasn't worried since it wasn't directed at him. "Naruto-kun why didn't you tell me?", the old hokage asked.
"Well you always helped me since I was a kid, and I didn't want to stress you out than you already are.", he responded. Everyone smiled at that, it was just like him to think of others and not himself.
"You should have said something Naruto-kun, but that's all in the past right now.", Hiruzen said. Naruto nodded. "Now Naruto-kun, you have to take remedial classes to get you caught up.", he said.
Naruto froze at this. 'Re-re-e-remedial classes?!', he thought.
"Now Naruto-kun, don't act crazy over nothing. This is to help you get caught up with the rest of the class.", he said, trying to calm the boy down.
The boy hesitantly nodded. "Now these will be your sensei during the next month before team placements.", he said. Naruto nodded at this, happy that he can have some actual training.
"Iruka and Ryouko will get you caught up on your academics from writing and reading to more advanced forms of learning as well as your diet", said Hiruzen. "Hey! What's wrong with my diet old man?!", Naruto responded. "Oh sweetie. It mostly comprises of ramen and while that has some nutrition, it is not good for a growing boy to constantly eat, but that changes now ok?", Ryouko said a sickly sweet tone. "Yes Nee-chan!", the teenager responded.
Chuckling slightly, Hiruzen continued. "The other person personally volunteered to teach you in bukijutsu, taijutsu, and basic chakra exercises to help get your control in check. She is advanced in all these subjects so listen to her well." Nodding, Naruto looked at the woman in front of him.
She was of average height at 5.5 ft (169 cm) tall. She had light skin, long purple hair that fell to her mid back, and charcoal eyes. She wore a grey standard konoha flak jacket that was open. She wore a black mesh armor with long black sleeves. She wore black Anbu pants and black shinobi sandals. Lastly, she wore a black clothed hiate on her right shoulder. She had an aura of coolness, but loving and warmth towards him.
"I may also teach you some kenjutsu if we have the time Naruto-kun. I owe a great debt to your mother as she was my jounin-sensei when I was a genin.", the woman said in a very smooth and polite manner.
'Wait! That voice, that hair. It's-', Naruto thought. "Neko-nee-chan!", Naruto said as he hugged the woman in front of him. The woman giggled at his enthusiasm. "Yes, Naruto-kun it is me, but don't call me Neko-nee-chan in public, my real name is Yugao.", she answered. "Okay! It's great to see you again.", he said.
"Wait old man, how am I going to learn all these subjects in only a couple months as well as fixing my bad habits?", Naruto questioned. The others were also interested in how they were going to cram so much knowledge into him in so little time. "Well Naruto-kun, to answer your question. We are using shadow clones to speed up the process. Remember their second ability.", the old hokage responded. "I understand jiji!", the blonde responded, as he is about to leave. "Oh jiji. I have another question.", Naruto said.
"What is it Naruto-kun?", Hiruzen asked. "If shadow clones are so good for retaining information, why don't you use them to help with your paperwork?", he asked.
...
...
...
"Umm... Jiji?", Naruto asked. He just sat there. "I think you broke him Naruto-kun?", Iruka chuckled.
Shrugging, Naruto walked through the door. "Just remind him when he wakes up.", he said with a lazy wave. The others chuckle at the boys antics.
"That boy will be the most unpredictable shinobi I've ever seen if he passes the test.", Yugao giggled.
"Well I look forward to to seeing him in action.", Ryouko responded.
"Well let's follow Naruto-kun's example.", said Iruka. They nodded and disappeared in a shushin. Iruka grabs Ryouko's waist before using the technique, causing her to blush slightly.
[Back at Naruto's house]
Naruto walks through the door and takes off his shoes. "Momo I'm back!", he said as he walked into the living room. Naruto then notices that the house seemed a lot cleaner than before. 'Did Momo do this?', he thought.
"Welcome back Naruto-kun!", Momo said from the couch. "Hello Mo-m-mo!", he stuttered as he took in the sight he was seeing. Momo lying on the couch in a black, lacy lingerie. Her tail was swaying back and forth.
"Is something wrong Naruto-kun?", she asked in false innocence.
Naruto just stared at her before blushing a storm. "Why are you in Underwear?!", he yelled.
"Mou~! Don't you like it? I was doing it as a way to thank you for taking me in. Don't you like what you see Na-ru-to-kun~?", Momo purred.
"No. No! I like it, but we just met Momo! We can't be doing this type of stuff.", he said trying to explain himself.
Momo giggles at his reaction which turns into full blown laughter. Naruto deadpans at her, before going to his room. "Wait Naruto-kun, I didn't mean it like that!", she called.
Naruto then comes out and throws some clothes at her. It was a black t-shirt with a red swirl and some black shorts. "Wear this, were going out today.", he said in monotone.
Momo frowns at him before puts on his clothes. "Look I am sorry for making fun of you Naruto-kun. I just wanted to tease you a bit.", she apologized.
"I know Momo. It is just I hate being manipulated. Ok? Sorry if it came out wrong.", he sighed before leaving the apartment. Momo kept her frown, but kept her thoughts to herself. A few minutes later, she walked out of the apartment building. Naruto, who was waiting outside, turned to her. "You ready?", he asked.
She nodded. "Good, Follow me.", he said as he started to walk through the busy streets. Momo follows in an awkward silence.
"...", Momo was having a hard time striking a conversation with the blonde in front of him. 'One moment he was fine and then he turns as cold as ice, blocking all emotions. No boy his age is supposed to have that kind of coldness in their heart. What could have in his past to cause him to become like that?', she thought.
"Momo are you coming?", Naruto called.
Momo notices that she was just standing there and sees Naruto a couple blocks away. "Coming!", she yelled as she runs to catch up with him.
"Just stay close. There are those who would do a lot of horrible things to a girl as cute as you.", he said nonchalantly. Momo blushes and stops at the unintentional compliment.
'What is this feeling?', she thought as she put her hand at her heart. She stares at Naruto for a second before continuing to follow him. 'You are interesting Naruto Uzumaki. I will enjoy figuring out all your secrets.', she thought.
End.
