Hope you enjoy the story. I want to say a couple of things about what's going to happen in this story.
1. A bunch of stories I read have something to do about bashing Sasuke. Hell, even my other story had Naruto be beating and making fun of Sasuke. So for this story a nicer Sasuke and NO Bashing of any character.
2. My OC version of Menma will be Naruto's brother but from an alternate timeline. My description of Menma is that he's like Naruto but much cooler and smarter than said boy. He was trained under my other OC, Izanagi, and is chunnin level.
3. The stories pairings are Naruto and Hinata, Sakura and Sasuke, Obito and Rin. The NaruHina pairing is first. If this story gets a bunch of reviews, then I might throw a lemon in a later chapter. Maybe between chapters 20 and 30.
4. I already have the plot ready for a Bleach story i'm making so i'm gonna need some ideas on if I should give Rukia a bankai and Ichigo a reigai character. Kon will also have a gigai with shinigami powers.
5. The OC, Izanagi, will be a major supporting character in this story as he is able to manipulate space and time as he is able to change events and bring people from different timelines into a certain point of history so it could change into a better outcome.
Enjoy the chapter.
Past, Present, Future.
Chapter 2
The academy.
All of the student in the classroom were either talking, playing, or just sitting down waiting. Most of the girls in the class was talking about a bunch of stuff like gossip, new clothes that just came in the store, and stuff like that. But the one thing they mainly discussed was Sasuke, who was sitting by the group.
Unlike the Sasuke in the canon, this Sasuke actually had a smile on his face. He wasn't always like this though. He used to be filled with hatred and had cold onyx eyes. Just like a bunch of Uchiha, he ignored a bunch of people's question and usually said 'hn'. That was until he fought Naruto's older brother Menma.
At first, he thought Menma was a goofball just like Naruto. But he's different. With that much strength, he shouldn't even be in the academy.
Flashback (It's not only Sasuke's)
Menma was walking to class holding Naruto by his orange jumpsuit jacket. Naruto was struggling to get out but every time he did, Menma caught him and ended up dragging him back.
"I still can't believe you did that." Menma said with a scowl on his face.
"But you gotta admit. It was funny." Naruto said with a smile as he was being dragged.
"You threw a paint bomb into a store." Menma said in a frustrated tone.
"So." Naruto said shrugging his shoulders.
"I was a weapon store. The guy was colored blue as he chased you and threw kunai and shuriken at you." Menma said raising his voice a little.
"It was still funny." Naruto murmured.
" *sigh*. The only reason i'm scolding you is because you could have been hurt. If you keep doing pranks like that, people will think of you as a nuisance." Menma said.
"OK." Naruto murmured.
"Besides, next time you do a prank, I have to be there so you can't get caught, got it?" Menma said with a smile.
"Alright nii-san." Naruto said with a grin.
"Oh. After we graduate say goodbye to your orange jumpsuit." Menma said.
"What! No way. This is my favorite color. You can't make me!" Naruto yelled.
"First of all, when we become ninjas you'll become a easy target for the enemy with your bright ass orange jacket. And second of all, since when couldn't I make you do anything?" Menma said. "If I wanted, I could take away your ramen."
Just then, Naruto's chakra spiked up a bit.
"You take that back." Naruto said in a serious tone.
"Relax you idiot. I'm not gonna take away your precious ramen. You'll 'die' if I do." Menma said.
When they made it to the classroom door, Menma lifted Naruto up, making the boy stand up, and slid open the door only to be knocked down as someone ran into him and Naruto from behind. He looked back and saw Sakura and Ino was both trying to make it in the room.
'I didn't even sense or hear them behind us.' Menma thought.
"I won. Now I get to sit next to Sasuke-kun." Sakura cheered oblivious to the fact that she knocked down someone.
"No I won. I get to sit next to Sasuke-kun." Ino said in an angry tone.
"You wish Ino-pig." Sakura said in an equal tone.
"What did you say, forehead girl." Ino said as her and Sakura budded heads.
"Hey Menma?" The both said in sync.
"Yeah." Menma said as he just got up.
He looked at them than started shaking in fear. To the other kids in the classroom, it looked like two angry girls. But to Menma, it looked like two foxes ready to kill. That look on their face could even make the nine-tailed fox shake in fear.
"Who won!" They both said in an equal angry tone.
"Hurry up and answer them. They look like they don't have time to waste." Naruto whispered to Menma.
"T-to tell you the tr-truth, I-ino won." Menma said as he swallowed the lump in his throat.
The girls then cooled down their attitude. Ino was happy and Sakura was frustrated.
"See. This is why I like you as a friend Menma. You always tell the truth." Ino said as she hugged his arm. "Now if you excuse me, i'll going to sit next to Sasuke-kun."
"No fair. The only reason you said that was because you have a crush on her." Sakura said talking to Menma.
"That's not true. The first person who came in was the one who bumped into me. Whoever bumped into me smelled like flowers. So it had to be Ino." Menma explained.
"It could have been me." Sakura said.
"But you smell like cherry blossoms." Menma said.
" *sigh* I guess your right." Sakura said before she walked away.
To tell you the truth, Menma didn't know who made it in the classroom first. He just lied and they ended up believing it. They won't find out though. He'll make sure of that.
"We should go to our seats before Iruka-sensei shows up." Menma said.
"Alright." Naruto said as him and Menma went to their seats.
"Oh and when we get home, i'm getting you some new clothes. Say goodbye to the orange jumpsuit." Menma.
"What! No way I like this jumpsuit. You can't make me." Naruto said crossing his arms.
"Bet I can." Menma said with a smirk.
Just then, Sasuke walked over to Menma and Naruto's row looking mainly at Menma.
"Fight me." Sasuke said in an ordering tone as he was talking to Menma. He looked confused for a second, then shrugged.
"Alright. Let's take it outside." Menma said as he got up.
Him and Sasuke both walked out the classroom heading to the academy training field in the back.
"Hey check it out. Sasuke and Menma are going to fight." Kiba said.
When he said that everybody in the the classroom headed out and went to the training field. Everybody except Naruto and another girl.
'I was right. Nii-san never backs down from a fight.'Naruto thought with a smirk as he stood up.
He looked around the classroom to see if anybody was here.
'I guess every one left to see the fight. Wait who is that?' He thought.
He walked over to the back row and saw a girl with short brown hair with asleep with her head on her arms.
"Um excuse me." Naruto said as he shook her a bit.
This was enough to wake her up as she looked at Naruto. When Naruto saw her, you could say he thought she was cute. She had purple, rectangular markings on each cheek and sparkling brown eyes. Naruto looked into her eyes and he saw that they reflected so much sadness into them.
"Yeah. What is it?" The girl said with a small smile.
He could tell the smile was fake but he didn't want to ask her about it.
"Are you coming to see the fight?" Naruto asked.
"Who's fighting?" The girl asked.
"My nii-san and Sasuke." Naruto said.
She thought about it for a second before she made up her mind.
"OK. I'll go see it in a second." She said.
"Alright see you outside um..." Naruto said waiting for her to say her name.
"Rin. Rin Nohara." She said.
"Nice to meet you Rin. I'm Naruto Uzumaki, the future hokage." Naruto said before he walked out of the class room.
'Future hokage huh.' Rin thought. 'Reminds me of him.' She thought in sorrow before she walked out the classroom.
SC
Menma and Sasuke stared off into each other's eyes. The former with boredom and the latter with anger.
"Go Sasuke-kun!" Sakura cheered
"Kick that guy's butt!" A fan-girl cheered
"Hit him with a 16-hit combo." Ino cheered.
'So I can't get a cheer or something.' Menma thought as he had a confused look in his eye.
"Kick that bastard's ass nii-san!" Naruto cheered as he came from inside the academy.
'Well. I can always count on my otouto.' Menma said with a smile.
"What's so funny?" Sasuke asked as he glared at Menma.
"Nothing really. Just excited that i'm able to face someone from the famous Uchiha clan." Menma said.
"Oh really. Than why don't you back out of this fight then?" Sasuke asked with a smirk.
"Because, I never back out of a fight no matter who i'm facing." Menma said before he got into a fighting stance.
'I tried to warn him.' Sasuke thought before he got into the Uchiha fighting stance. Just then Kiba came between those two.
"OK guys I want a clean fight. That means no killing or fatally injuring classmates. Other than that anything goes." Kiba said.
'The hell does this guy think he is.' Menma thought.
"Are both fighters ready?" Kiba asked.
"Yeah." Menma said.
"Hn." Sasuke said.
"I'll take that as a yes from the Uchiha. OK fighters begin." Kiba said as he jumped back.
Sasuke ran towards Menma and fired a right hook at Menma. Said boy dodged the punch swiftly and kick Sasuke across the field. Sasuke skidded across the field before doing a back-flip while holding his side. Sasuke ran towards Menma then jumped into the air aiming to kick the boy's head. But Menma grabbed his foot and threw Sasuke over his back. Sasuke hit his back against the grass and ended up rolling to a stop. He slowly stood up and did some hand signs.
"Fire style: Fireball jutsu." Sasuke said before he blew out a giant fireball out of his mouth.
The fireball flew towards Menma. Menma just looked at the fireball in dis-interest before it engulfed him.
Most of the girls in the class looked on in shock as the fireball engulfed Menma, possibly killing the boy. The only girls that weren't shock was Hinata and Rin. Hinata because she had her byakugan active and Rin because she could still sense his chakra.
"Can you see him Kiba?" Shikamaru said.
"It's hard to tell. All I could smell is fire and smoke." Kiba said.
" *sigh* Troublesome." Shikamaru said.
"Yay. Sasuke-kun won!" A fan-girl cheered.
"How could you cheer for Sasuke at a time like this? One of our classmates could of been killed." Ino said in anger.
"But Sasuke still won." The same fan-girl murmured.
"It's not over yet." Naruto said.
"How so? Kiba said.
"Look closer in the fire. You'll know what i'm talking about." Naruto said.
Everyone else except Hinata and Rin looked closer into the fire.
As the fire started to die down a little, Menma walked out of the fire with no sign of fatigue or injury on his body. The only effect the fire had on him was that his shirt was burnt off and some of the wrappings on his stomach. This caused some of the girls to blush as they saw his well-toned abs.
"Aw. That was my favorite shirt." Menma said as the fire died down. "You'll pay for that Sasuke." He said in a mocking tone.
Sasuke saw red as he ran towards Menma. He fired an uppercut at Menma's chin but he had to sidestep out of the way as Menma almost kicked him in his face.
"Sorry. I missed. But next time, I won't." Menma said with a serious face.
In an blink of an eye, Menma appeared in front of Sasuke's face. The Uchiha didn't even have time to look shocked before he was kicked in his face. Sasuke slid across the training field, hitting a tree. He coughed up blood and looked forward. Menma was already in his face. Menma readied a punch a moved his fist forward. Sasuke closed his eyes waiting for the impact. I didn't come. Sasuke opened his eyes and saw Menma's fist close to his face. Menma moved his fist away and moved back.
"I think it's time I got serious." He said without a hint of joking around in his voice.
"Just what the hell are you?!" Sauke yelled as he stood up.
"A human. Just like everyone else in this academy." Menma said. "Don't call me a thing just because I can beat you in a fight."
"Hey. Don't talk to Sasuke-kun like that!" Sakura yelled.
"Yeah. Don't talk to him like that because he's better than you." A fan-girl said.
"He's a big boy. I'm sure he can handle a couple of words." Menma said as he looked at Sakura. "And don't be such a fan-girl to a guy that looks down on you." He said to the fan-girl as he looked back.
A fireball was heading towards him. At lightning speed, he took out a tri-prong kunai and did some hand signs. Before the fireball could hit him, Menma pointed the kunai at the fireball causing it to stop. Seals appeared around the ball of flame, sending it somewhere away. The fireball ended up appearing behind Sasuke and went flying into the air. Everyone was in shock at what they saw: Sasuke's technique disappearing then re-appearing behind him.
"Space-time ninjutsu. It always comes in handy." Menma said while twirling the kunai before he stopped.
"Cheater. You used the fourth hokage's justu." A fan-girl said.
"Why can't you just fight Sasuke-kun fairly." Another fan-girl said.
"He almost burnt me to death with his clans' jutsu." Menma said.
"But you lived." A different fan-girl said coldly.
'What is wrong with girls these days.' Menma asked himself mentally. 'And did that girl say i lived in a cold tone? Oh well. At least she didn't think about killing me.'
" *sigh* Hey Uchiha. How do you deal with these fan-girls anyway?" Menma said.
He looked back and saw Sasuke running towards him with his fist cocked back. Before Sasuke could land a decent hit, Menma grabbed the fist with little effort.
"Give up." Menma said.
"Don't get so cocky." Sasuke said as he threw another punch.
Menma blocked the punch and kicked Sasuke in the face making him hit the ground hard. Sasuke sat up while holding his face.
"I'm done." Menma said dropping his guard.
"Done. What do you mean your done!?" Sasuke yelled.
"I'm done fighting you. I'm bored. You're boring me." Menma said as he walked away.
'Menma is calm, cooler, and way smarter than Naruto. I don't know why but I think they might actually be more than related. They both smell like fox but...' Kiba thought as he looked at Menma. 'He is on a different level than any of us.'
Sasuke growled in anger before he ran towards Menma, who had his back turned, with pure rage in his eyes.
'I won't lose to someone like him.' Sasuke thought angrily.
'I never seen Sasuke-kun so angry before. To be able to make the strongest one in our class seem so weak. Just how strong are you Menma.' Ino thought.
"Nii-san. Watch out!" Naruto yelled.
"I know." Menma said..
He stopped walking and turned around to see that Sasuke was running at him again. Sasuke threw a punch at Menma's head but the boy dodged it with ease.
"I said i'm done fighting you." Menma said before he punched Sasuke in the cheek, sending the boy a couple of feet away.
Sasuke hit the ground hard. If it wasn't for his sheer will, then he would have been unconscious.
'I can't move.' Sasuke said as he struggled to move his body.
'What power.' Shikamaru thought.
'Is this guy really Naruto's brother?' Kiba thought.
'How was this guy able to beat Sasuke-kun?' Sakura thought.
'Aw. I ran out of chips.' Choji thought with a gloomy look on his face.
"I told you I was done fighting you. I told you I was serious the minute you burned my shirt." Menma said with a stoic look on his face. "You ended up letting your pride get the best of you."
"How?" Sasuke asked.
"How what?" Menma asked.
"How are you this strong?" Sasuke asked.
"Because unlike you, I get my strength by training hard to protect my friends. You on the other hand, train and fuel your hatred for revenge. But you know, I know how you feel." Menma said with a small smile.
"You know how I feel. Don't make me laugh. You don't know how it feels to have your family killed in cold blood!" Sasuke yelled.
By then, Menma had a serious expression on your face.
"Don't act like you understand anything about me 'cause I know you don't!" Sasuke continued.
"That is where you are wrong. My parents were killed right in front of me. So like you, my whole family was killed." Menma said.
A bunch of classmates gasped in surprise. Even Naruto looked shock.
"But your different." Sasuke murmured.
"Not really. My parents were killed by an Uchiha, so was yours. I just didn't get consumed by hatred." Menma said with a shrug. "If I did have hatred consume me then i'll end up killing the rest of the Uchiha clan. Even you."
"So you just gave up on revenge?" Sasuke asked.
"What's the point on having revenge. If I do, i'll just end up as bad as he is. My parents wouldn't want that to happen and neither would yours." Menma said as he walked over to Naruto.
"I'm gonna go get a new shirt. Tell Iruka-sensei that if he comes here before me." Menma said.
"Got 'cha." Naruto said.
'I hope those words got through his thick skull.' Menma thought.
Menma then disappeared in a yellow flash.
Sasuke was still laying on the ground as he looked at the sky in deep thought.
"If you want to kill me, then hate. Let your hatred give you power. Run and cling to life and hope you can kill." Itachi's voice echoed in Sasuke's head.
'I won't waste my time on you anymore. I will follow my own path and you won't ruin it.' Sasuke thought referring to Itachi. 'I will avenge my clan. But not in the way you wanted.'
Flashback Ends
Sasuke was waiting for Iruka to come inside the classroom. Just then, Sakura walked up to his table.
"Sasuke-kun." Sakura said with a blush.
"Yeah. What is it?" Sasuke asked with a genuine smile.
This caused Sakura's blush to get darker.
"I was wondering if you could go on a date with me?" Sakura said as her face matched her hair.
Sasuke thought about for a minute. If he said yes then the fan-girls won't have a fight about who gets to go on a date with him ever again. If he said no, Sakura will think it's unfair that he went with the other girls except her.
"Alright. If it makes you happy." Sasuke said.
"Yay.!" Sakura cheered.
"But it's just a date. It doesn't mean we are going to be girlfriend and boyfriend." Sasuke said.
"Aw. But oh well. Atleast I got a date with you Sasuke-kun." Sakura said with a smile before she walked back to her table.
Sasuke always say the last part ever time one of his fan-girls ask him out. To tell you the truth, he doesn't really have any romantic feelings for any of them. He usually goes on a date with them as just friends. Other than that his fan-girls weren't really fan-girls anymore. The only girls that didn't ask him out was Hinata and the Nohara chick. Hinata because she's dating Naruto and Rin for reasons unknown.
Hinata and Naruto have been going out for three months now. Menma ended up telling Naruto that Hinata had a crush on him for some time. Naruto went over to Hinata and asked her out. Hinata face turned red before she fainted from shock. Naruto took that as a yes and waited until she woke up. After the first date, things started to hit it off between the two. Naruto gave Hinata a bunch of confidence, leading her to never holding back in a spar against her sister Hanabi (All of the time winning), and making her father have to use his Byakugan when they spar. She even stopped stuttering when she talked. When some girls in her class asked her why did she go on a date with someone like Naruto. Hinata said that Naruto may be an idiot sometimes but he's loving if you got to know him.
Rin became friends with Naruto and Menma after the fight between the latter and Sasuke. She opened to both of them, telling them both things about herself and telling jokes. She even told them that she was from the past and that she is the jinchuriki( I don't know if I spelled it right) of the three-tails, which shocked both of them. She smiled more and had less sadness reflecting in her eyes. She also hanged around Hinata, Sakura, and Ino the most. They went to the mall, movies, and hot springs together.
Menma grew his hair out during the past couple of months. His hair now reached almost to his shoulders and it almost covers his eyes. A couple of times he flirted with Ino to get her attention and each time she said she didn't have a crush on him but she keeps blushing when she looks at him. He trained Naruto to a point where he might give an experienced genin trouble. He also told Naruto about the nine-tails that was sealed inside both of them. Menma had the Yin chakra while Naruto had the Yang chakra. Because of the skills he showed during the academy exercises, he was recommended to graduate early from the academy. But since he thought he lacked the qualities, he declined the offer. The real reason was because he didn't want to graduate without his friends still here
"So you was asked on another date, huh Sasuke? Menma asked sitting next to Sasuke.
"Well what do you expect? It's not like I asked to have a fan club." Sasuke said with a shrug.
"True. But at least you went on a date with them so they won't have another fight involving you again." Menma said with a smirk.
"Anyway where is Naruto?'' Sasuke said.
"He went to Hinata's house to pick her up." Menma said.
"I don't understand why he takes his relationship with Hinata so seriously." Sasuke said.
"That's because you never had a girlfriend to help you understand." Menma said with a smirk.
"Oh shut up. You make it sound like you had a girlfriend before." Sasuke said.
"Actually I did have a girlfriend so I know a lot more about this than you." Menma said.
"Yeah right." Sasuke said.
"Alright then did you have a girlfriend Sasuke?" Menma said.
"Yes I did." Sasuke said.
"Alright then. What's his name?" Menma said with a smile.
"First of all, my girlfriend is a girl and second, her name was Mikoto." Sasuke said
"Mikoto what?" Menma said
"I forgot her last name." Menma said.
"Let me guess her last name is Uchiha and she's your mom." Menma said.
"Shut up." Sasuke said with a light blush.
"If you didn't have a girlfriend, all you had to do is say so." Menma said. "Just say the word and you'll have a line of girls waiting to be your girlfriend."
"You talk too much." Sasuke said.
"I didn't hear a no." Menma said with a smirk.
"And you also didn't hear a yes." Sasuke said.
Just then, Naruto and Hinata came into the classroom holding hands. They both let go of each other's hand and walked to a different table.
"Hey guys." Naruto said.
"Hey Naruto." Shikamaru said.
"What's up man." Kiba said.
" *munch* Hey. *munch*" Choji said.
"Hello." Shino said.
"Sasuke." Naruto said nodding at Sasuke.
"Naruto." Sasuke said nodding at Naruto.(Mutual respect)
"So how did it go?" Menma said.
"Hinata-chan was getting ready so I had to sit in the living room and waited. I think I earned Hiashi-san's respect." Naruto said.
"How so?" Sasuke said.
"He said since I gave Hinata confidence, she is able to become the rightful heiress of the clan or something. I didn't really know what he meant by that but I think it's a good thing." Naruto said.
"Duh. That means she has a better chance of becoming her clan's heiress because of you." Menma said with a smile.
"Just be happy you did something right this time loser." Sasuke said with a smirk.
"Shut up. Atleast I have a girlfriend." Naruto said with a grin.
"Why do you guys always make fun of me about that?" Sasuke said in anger.
"Because it's both funny for us and embarrassing for you." Kiba said walking over to the table.
Akamaru barked in agreement.
"You can't be talking dog boy. I haven't seen you with a girl either." Sasuke said.
"What did you say Uchiha!" Kiba said angrily.
"Can we just get off the subject about who doesn't have a girlfriend..." Naruto said.
"Sasuke." Menma murmured with a smirk which earned a glare from the Uchiha.
"And just talk about something else." Naruto said finishing his sentence.
"Alright 'boss'." Sasuke said.
SC
Hinata was sitting at her table. She wasn't really paying attention to what Ino was saying. It was only about clothes, gossip, and boy's(mainly Sasuke). Instead she was thinking about a certain blond haired boy in her class. His bright ocean blue eyes, defined whisker birth-marks, and tanned skin. Images of Naruto keep popping up in her head. To her, the first date was magical. Even though he ended up mixing orange in his outfit, he still looked perfect to her.
"Hey Hinata are you okay? You kind of zoned out for a sec." Ino said.
"Yeah i'm fine. I was just thinking about something." Hinata said.
"Does it have to do with a certain blond haired, orange wearing kid with blue eyes." Ino said.
When she saw the blush that appeared on Hinata's face, she decided to continue.
"I still can't believe you're dating someone like Naruto." Ino said.
"I can't believe you have a crush on Menma." Hinata said with a smirk.
"No I don't!" Ino said angrily with a blush.
"Relax Ino. It's natural for a girl to have a crush on a guy." Hinata said.
"I don't have a crush on Menma." Ino said in the same angry tone.
"They say if someone gets mad when someone else makes fun of who they like, then the former does like that person." Sakura said.
"But it's not true." Ino said.
"Then why are you mad?" Hinata asked.
"Because you guys are making fun of me." Ino said.
"That's a lame excuse. You make fun of me and you don't see me mad." Hinata said.
"That's different." Ino murmured quietly but loud enough to hear.
"How so? You make fun of how i'm dating Naruto and I make fun of how you have a crush on Menma. It's basically the same thing." Hinata said. "If you like him, just tell him how you feel."
"But I don't like him." Ino said.
" *sigh* Oh well if you don't like him, you don't like him. It's how you feel." Hinata said. "But don't lie to yourself about how you feel." She said which left Ino in deep thought.
SC
Rin was walking to class after she came from the memorial stone. When she was there, she saw an older Kakashi. Even though he knew she was alive, she didn't want him to see her. So she used the transformation and transformed into an older version of herself without the purple markings on her face. She walked over to the stone and search for a name, She saw the name she was looking for: Obito Uchiha. His name was carved into the stone right under some other ninja she didn't know.
"Someone you know?" Kakashi said talking to Rin.
"Yeah. An old friend." Rin said.
An awkward silence fell over the two as they looked at the stone.
"You know. You don't have to hide from me Rin." Kakashi said. "I been knew that you used the transformation jutsu when you came here.
"Well what do you expect. I can't face you after what I did." Rin said with a sorrow expression.
"Hey it wasn't your fault. You didn't have a choice." Kakashi said looking at Rin.
"But I forced you to do something you didn't want to do!" Rin yelled at the brink of tears. "You say I didn't have a choice but it was because I was so weak that those hidden cloud ninja captured. Because I was so weak I was captured by those rock ninja. If I was stronger, you wouldn't have lost your eye and Obito wouldn't have died." She said as tears finally fell down her face.
Kakashi had a look of shock on his face. He never seen Rin so upset in his life. Other than the time Obito died, he never seen her so broken. He did the right thing and put a hand on her shoulder.
"You're not weak. You're one of the strongest people I know. So it's sad for me to hear that you call yourself weak." Kakashi said with an eye smile. "Besides, how would Obito feel if he saw you like this?"
"Maybe your right. But it doesn't help the guilt that overcomes me sometimes" Rin said before she left.
SC
As she walked through the village some people were still in shock as they looked at her. What do you expect. Who would have thought a kunoichi that died long ago was just walking casually through the village. When she made it into the academy, she slid open the classroom door and walked over to Naruto's table.
"Hey guys." Rin said.
"Hey Rin." Menma said.
"Hey Rin-chan." Naruto said.
"So what were you guys up to?" Rin asked.
"The usual." Menma said.
"Making fun of Sasuke so you could see the look on his face when he's mad?" Rin asked.
"Bingo. It was even better today." Naruto said.
"How so?" Rin asked.
"They made fun of Sasuke about how he didn't have a girl friend. It was a troublesome idea but we all ended up joining in." Shikamaru said as he woke up from his nap.
"We?" Rin asked.
"Yeah as in me, Kiba, Naruto, Menma, and some other kids in our class." Shikamaru said.
"I kind of feel bad for Sasuke. You know not having a girlfriend is sad especially if he came from the powerful Uchiha clan." Rin said with a grin.
"Not you too Rin." Sasuke groaned.
"Sorry Sasuke. It was in the moment. Besides, they say it's fun to make fun of you so I gave it a try." Rin said.
"Why do you guys always make fun of me?" Sasuke said.
"It's funny." Menma said.
"It's payback." Naruto and Kiba said.
"It passes the time." Shikamaru said.
"It just happens." Rin said.
Sasuke then groaned in annoyance.
"I hate you guys." Sasuke said.
"We know. We just don't care." Menma said.
Just then Iruka came into the classroom.
"Alright class. Settle down and have a seat so we can begin." Iruka said.
As the class took a seat, he headed to the board.
"Today, we are going to have a battle royal. All of the girls will be facing off against each other and all the boys will be facing off against each other. The winner of each group will have a spar against me." Iruka said.
"I wouldn't do that last part if I were ya, Iruka-sensei." Menma said while twirling a kunai. "I might just kill ya." He said as he stopped twirling the kunai.
Iruka swallowed the lump in his throat unconsciously.
"What makes you think you're going to win?" Kiba asked. "Akamaru and I will win this for sure."
"I don't think, I know i'm gonna win." Menma said with a smirk.
"We'll see." Kiba said.
"Alright class. Meet me at the training ground in the back so I can explain the rules." Iruka said before he used the body flicker technique.

"OK class. This is how the fight goes." Iruka said as he pointed at the two circles on the ground. "If one of you is knocked out of the ring, unable to continue, or unconscious, then you are out. This is a taijutsu only fight so no kunai, ninjutsu, or genjutsu of the sort. The last person in each ring has to fight me at the same time. Got it?" Iruka said.
"Understood." The class said.
"Alright. When everyone gets in a ring then you may begin." Iruka said.
Menma got into the ring and waited for all the boys to come. When they did, some of them ran towards him. Menma kicked one of them out of the ring with little effort. He then punched the next one in the face, knocking a boy with short brown hair unconscious. Another boy threw a punch at Menma's head but said boy dodged the fist, grabbed the boy's arm and threw him into someone else, knocking two of them out of the ring.
"Sit this one out, Akamaru. I can beat this guy." Kiba said as he walked into the ring.
Akamaru barked before he went somewhere safe to watch the fight.
"So it's your turn Kiba." Menma said.
"If I beat you, then i'll be the strongest one in this class." Kiba said before he got into the Inuzuka fighting stance.
"If you can beat me." Menma said before he put his hands in his pockets.
"Don't get so cocky." Kiba said before he ran towards Menma.
Kiba threw punch after punch towards Menma but the red-headed Uzumaki dodged each hit. Kiba tried to kick him in the face but Menma ducked under it before he delivered a hard punch to the gut. Kiba coughed loudly before he passed out. It was weird because he sort of passed out like a baby when they sleep. Except he didn't have one of his fingers in his mouth.
"I need to stop putting so much power in my punches. Especially when i'm fighting one of my friends." Menma said, rubbing the back of his head.
He dodged a punch to his head before he sidestepped towards the end of the ring. He saw that Naruto and Sasuke was having a one-on-one. He looked at the rest of his friend and saw that they never entered the ring. Shikamaru laying down looking at the sky, Choji eating barbecue-flavored chips, and Shino finding insects for his colony.
"Hey Shikamaru. Why didn't you guys enter the ring?" Menma asked.
"It's troublesome to do that type of fighting in the first place. I'd rather sit back and watch the clouds rather than doing that annoying thing." Shikamaru said.
"I'm not too hot on fighting anybody either. So I was just watching you guys fight instead." Choji said while eating some chips.
"I just didn't feel like fighting." Shino said.
"Oh." Menma said before he looked at the fight between Naruto and Sasuke.
Sasuke appeared to have the upper hand as he punched Naruto in the gut. The blond-haired boy fell to the ground clutching his stomach in pain.
"Give up Naruto. You can't beat me." Sasuke said.
"Oh yeah. You'll see. I will beat you in this fight." Naruto said.
"Naruto. Quit joking around and fight seriously." Menma said.
"Are you sure nii-san?" Naruto said standing up like he wasn't in pain at all.
"Positive. Now hurry up so me and you can fight." Menma said.
"You heard him Sasuke. I guess I can't waster my time on you anymore." Naruto said with a smirk.
"Bring it loser. I can't wait to beat you when you're at full strength." Sasuke said.
Naruto ran towards Sasuke and punched him in the head. Sasuke blocked the punch and tried to kick Naruto in the chest. Naruto grabbed Sasuke's foot and yanked him back, causing the boy to land face first onto the ground. Sasuke stood up quickly and ran towards Naruto. Naruto punched Sasuke in the face and the Uchiha boy countered with a kick to the side. Each attack they used they both countered or blocked. They jumped back and looked each other in the eye.
"You're pretty good loser." Sasuke said as he was breathing hard.
"Right back at 'cha duck ass." Naruto said as he was breathing hard.
"Let's just finish this." Sasuke said.
Naruto ran towards Sasuke in blinding speeds. Naruto punched Sasuke in the face then kicked him in the chest. Sasuke flipped in the air before he landed on the ground inside the circle. Sasuke then ran towards Naruto and punched Naruto in the face before he uppercut him into the air, sending him flying up. As Naruto was in the air, he started looking down before he started falling down like a bomb. As Naruto fell, he balled his hand into a fist and punch Sasuke in the face as he landed. Sasuke stood up before he turned around. Naruto ran towards Sasuke before he kicked the boy in his chest, sending him flying out the circle.
"I told you i'll stop messing around with you." Naruto said trying to keep his cool but in his mind he was thinking 'Yes! I beat Sasuke. I'm the greatest. Woohoo.'
"You know. Since you won this fight, i'll watch you and your brothers' fight. I'll get you back when we have a rematch." Sasuke said as he sat on the ground.
Hinata hit a used to be fan-girl in the stomach with a gentle fist strike. She then kicked her in the stomach, sending her tumbling out of the circle.
"Well. I guess it's you and me Rin." Hinata said as she looked at Rin.
"Yeah. I guess so." Rin said as she stood up. "You know you have an advantage over me." She said as she dusted off her shorts.
"How so?" Hinata asked.
"You have a dojustu and an advanced taijutsu style. It will be very difficult to beat you in a straight up fight and stupid to fight you with just plain taijutsu." Rin said.
"You know a lot about my clan's jutsu." Hinata said with a smirk.
"I do my research." Rin said with a grin.
"Before we fight, let's relax and watch their fight."Hinata said referring to Naruto and Menma. "It's not everyday we see two handsome brothers fight." She said with a smile.
"Be glad they weren't shirtless. You'll probably die from your blush when you see their well-toned abs and chiseled chest." Hinata said with a smirk.
This earned a blush from Rin as an image of Naruto's and Menma's shirtless muscular body came into view.
"I guess you're not going to back out of this fight." Menma said.
"You already know the answer. I will win because I never go back on my word." Naruto said.
"Well good luck otouto." Menma said.
"You too nii-san." Naruto said
Then those two ran towards each other with determination filling their eyes.
Cliffhanger! I'm finally done. It took me a while but I finally finished this chapter. I would have finished earlier but my cousin kept asking for my laptop. I won't started writing some more chapters for a couple of days because I have to prepare for school. That's right i'm in school, middle school for that matter so my spelling is sometimes off. So see you guys next time.
