(A/N) Alrighty, here's the second chapter of Kits, this one is a little crazy, but keep in mind, I tried
my hardest to make it pretty realistic. I figure leaving a hidden village isn't nearly as easy as a
normal village would be. Anyway, have a good time with this chapter, I know I did...
Kits
Pairings: NaruKyuu, NaruSasu, probably NaruGaaSasuKyuu later on. I have a thing for Gaara, okay?
Warnings: Fuzzyheaded writer-ness, also, sakura-bashing, random flirting, and a little bit of a cliché ending.
Description: Kyuubi leads Naruto out of the village, Sasuke with them, only to have to flee rather quickly. It seems that leaving isn't nearly as easy, when one has ANBU after you...
Disclaimer: You see me? You see me not rich? I no owny Naruto.
Kits Chapter Two- Of Alarm Clocks Screaming
Kyuubi awoke them quite quickly however, when he suddenly disappeared, leaving Sasuke to fall, unceremoniously onto Naruto's stomach. This caused a loud "GERROF!" to sound in the avenger's living room, as he was roughly shoved off of Naruto's stomach, and an equally loud knock came on the door.
Sasuke, groggy, but instantly awake, due to years of Ninja training, was alert. He grabbed several of his kunai from behind the vases, one of several hideaways in the mansion, and disabled his traps as he went. When he got to the door, he noticed an equally alert, equally prepared Naruto behind him. He nodded silently to let the Dobe know he knew he was there, and then went to the peephole.
It was Sakura.
They both breathed a sigh of relief; it was only their classmate, probably there to get them for that whole Jounin teacher thing. Realizing what day it was, Naruto went back to the kitchen, and, grabbing some ramen, and a few of the pre-made Onigiri (Rice balls) from the fridge, and quickly making up his and Sasuke's lunches, while Sakura was greeted with a 'what are you doing here?'.
Naruto slapped himself lightly on the face, preparing to put his mask back on, and started grinning, right as Sakura and Sasuke appeared in the doorway of the kitchen. Sakura looked shocked, and Naruto turned around, grinning like always as he held out Sasuke's lunch.
"Naruto," Sakura started in a very dangerous tone, "One, what are you doing here, in Sasuke's house? And two, did you make that lunch!?"
Naruto looked at Sasuke, looked at Sakura, and then burst out laughing. Not quite at what most would think however. He was laughing because Sakura was still getting jealous of him. He wasn't even the one who hit on Sasuke first! It was Sasuke who started with the whole "Get the dobe pregnant as a last resort!" thing!
Sakura was fuming, and Sasuke had a slightly bigger smirk on his face. He was waiting to see Naruto's answers to her questions.
"N-no, Sakura! He made them, hee hee, all by him-himself. And I'm here, cause I figur-ha ha ha! fig-figu-figured that you wouldn't want to make two trips!!" Towards the end, it got a little high pitched as Naruto lapsed back into a fit of giggles. Sakura looked at him like he was insane.
"Well, anyway, you missed the announcement of the teams. It's us three, and we've got the rest of the afternoon off until three, when we meet our Jounin teacher." Sakura said, eyeing the onigiri. Apparently, she was hungry.
Sasuke took the onigiri from his blonde teammate, and threw it to Sakura. Her green eyes shone with some strange light, as if she were about to cry, as she hugged the onigiri to her. Naruto suddenly wanted to get as far away from her as possible, lest that...gooiness get stuck on him.
Sasuke went back and got another set of Onigiri, and then they left for the park. Naruto seemed a bit preoccupied, but Sasuke knew that was probably just from talking to Kyuubi. Sakura on the other hand, couldn't help but notice.
"Is something wrong, Naruto? You seem...preoccupied." Sasuke almost couldn't stop himself from slapping his own forehead. Way to state the obvious, moron! Naruto blinked out of it, and grinned back at Sakura.
"Huh? Oh, no, just wondering what our teachers gonna be like." This started Sakura on one of her rants, causing Sasuke to thank Naruto silently, as now they could both tune her out. Naruto nodded a silent 'you're welcome' before the three of them sat down to eat a slow lunch, Sakura blatantly hitting on Sasuke, Naruto blatantly hitting one her (messing with her mind...), and Sasuke silently laughing at both their antics.
Kit, don't you think you should let Sakura know she's gonna be on a team by herself soon?
'No, fox, because if I do, she'll tell the hokage, and Sasuke and I'll be put under observation. It'll make it harder to get gone.' Naruto answered in thought, knowing the demon fox could hear him. He mentally sighed, as his back ached increasingly. Random aches and pains were something he increasingly expected with pregnancy, due to the increasing amounts of them. He hissed a little, rubbing at his shoulder. When Sasuke looked at him curiously, he shook his head tensely.
Sakura, brilliant dunce that she was, missed the entire exchange in favor of glancing at the clock. It informed her that they were about to be late. So of course, she wrangled her teammates into going back to the classroom to finish their half-eaten lunches.
However, they really shouldn't have bothered, seeing as they got Kakashi, who was known for being at least two hours late to anything non-life threatening. This caused Naruto, who over time had evolved into Hormonal!Naruto, to play several really nasty pranks on him, with Inner Sakura and Sasuke both silently cheering him on.
This in turn, caused Kakashi to have the first impression of: "I hate you."
After that whole ordeal, they went through introductions on the roof.
All three of the team members sweat dropped as Kakashi told them nothing but his name. Then he told them to introduce themselves to him, starting with the blonde. (This is the order it goes, right? Blonde then Sasuke then pinky? -Otaku)
"Hi, I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I'm thirteen, I like Ramen, I hate the three minutes it takes for ramen to cook, ummm, I don't really have any hobbies except pranks, and my goal is to protect those that I love." He couldn't help straying a hand to his abdomen, which Kakashi noticed but didn't do anything to indicate he had, after all, the boy was probably hungry.
Next came Sasuke.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I'm fourteen as of two weeks ago, I don't have any likes. I have many dislikes, and I don't have hobbies, I train. My only goals are to recreate my clan, and to kill a certain man."
"Alright, Pinky, you're up!" Kakashi said, smiling his one-eyed smile.
"My name is Haruno Sakura, I'm fourteen, What I like...Well, it's more like a person...but...My dislikes? Naruto! My hobbies... well, a little of this and a little of that..., and my goals? Well, ummm..." WAY too many stares in Sasuke's direction for his taste. He turned his head away a little.
"Alright, now that we're done with introductions, go home and get some rest. There's a mission tomorrow to decide if you stay Gennin, or if you fail. Don't eat anything for breakfast; you'll just puke it up again. Bye!" Kakashi said poofing out of there as quickly as he could. He spent twenty minutes laughing.
He had a hyperactive prankster, a love-sick puppy, and an angsty avenger. This was going to be great! A wonderful time for his first ever team of Gennin! He was gonna have soooo much fun torturing these morons!
Meanwhile, Sasuke got up, and with a silent glance, told Naruto to meet him at his house later. They still needed to plan after all. Then he turned to walk away. Sakura immediately started hitting on him, and Naruto decided to help his friend out, so hit on the pink haired girl in turn. Of course, she turned him down, but it gave Sasuke time to get away.
After that whole ordeal, all Naruto wanted was to go get some ramen. So he did!
He traveled the well known shortcut to Ichiraku's ramen stand, and was soon sat down with a steaming bowl of the wonderful delight, swimming with the fishy little crackers he shared a name with. He tucked in, quickly finishing three full bowls, before he felt he was in the clear to visit Sasuke once again. So he bid the old man and his daughter goodbye, and set off for the Uchiha district. He ran swiftly through it, sad to see the grandest district, aside from the Hyuuga's of course, so silent and dark.
He arrived at the Uchiha mansion soon enough, and knocked loudly on the door, to let Sasuke know, wherever he was in the huge mansion, that SOMEONE wanted in. He waited a good ten minutes, studying the shrubbery (SHRUBBERY!!! been watching too much Monty python...-Otaku) until the door opened, and he was ushered into the huge mansion by his dear friend.
Sasuke looked rather bored, to tell the truth, and quickly sat Naruto down at the kitchen table, starting a pot of tea. He sat down and immediately started in.
"Naruto, for the remainder of our time here, you need to stop patting and rubbing your stomach so much! I'm sure Kakashi noticed it, as will any enemy we have. And as you know, I have a very
powerful enemy!"
"I know, Sasuke, I just can't help it though. It's still really strange, thinking there's this little person
growing in there." Naruto said, eyes wistful, as his hands strayed to his abdomen again. Sasuke smiled a little. At least his friend was taking his impending motherhood well. It, hopefully, would go smoothly for the blonde.
"We need to set down plans for our escape." Sasuke announced, breaking the blonde out of his thoughts. The jinchurikii nodded, and called out Kyuubi once again. The older-looking red-head glomped the two, an incredible feat, since the two were on opposite ends of the table.
"Alright! I'm getting out, more and more!" Kyuubi whooped. He was thoroughly happy, not only was he getting his very own kit, he was able to escape the dreary prison every once in a while too!
"Keep a lid on the chakra, Kyuu-chan, unless you want ANBU all over us." Sasuke said, in a bored tone. Kyuubi bristled at the -chan bit, but otherwise, brought his chakra under control.
"Alright, so, what do we need?" Sasuke, always the self-starter, prompted the two.
"Well, we're gonna need food, and supplies." Naruto said, thinking hard.
"No, we can get whatever we need from my compound. We still have a ton of weapons and journey rations from before the slaughter. We can take those tonight. Do you have anything you need to get from your apartment, Naruto?"
"A few things, some shuriken, a few scrolls, but other than that, not much."
"Good, than let's go get those, and then we can be out of this accursed village as soon as dark falls!" Kyuubi agreed, pleased with himself. Naruto and Sasuke got ready to go, while Kyuubi disappeared, going back to his prison inside Naruto's seal.
They slipped out the door, down the streets, and into Naruto's apartment with trained ease. They
spent a few moments gathering what Naruto would need, and then, Naruto bidding a silent goodbye to the place that had sheltered him for a very long while, they left, heading back to the compound. There, they once again summoned Kyuubi and set about gathering the supplies needed from this house and that.
Soon it was dusk, and they sat impatiently in Sasuke's hallway, waiting for the dark of night to fall
and give them a bit of cover. That's what they really needed, if they were to ever outrun the
ANBU that were sure to be after them. They would need every bit of cunning and trickery they had in the next few weeks, and they knew it. It was part of the reason they were so anxious to
get out. A new challenge, a new test of their skills. Were they strong enough, or would they
find themselves caught?
Finally it was dark, and they started their trek to the wall. The village's wall was of course, huge,
and they would have to find someway to get over it, for the gates were closed and wouldn't open
until morning. They wouldn't be able to get out that way anyway, not unless they had the hokage's permission.
They got to the wall, and, flinging grappling hooks over quickly, they scurried up, trying desperately to get up top before one of the guards found their hooks. They were almost up, when one of the guards yelled out. They had been caught! Naruto climbed faster, and Sasuke tried to as well.
They made it to the top, but the guard was coming too, and they had no choice. Sasuke made a split second decision. He pushed Naruto towards the side, while readying one of his best Jutsu's.
"RUN, Naruto, I'll meet you in the dark water!" Sasuke yelled, shoving his friend once more.
"But!" Naruto tried to argue with him, but the Ninja were coming, and he had no choice. "I will
find you again, Sasuke, I won't give up, so don't you give up either!" He yelled as he jumped
down, using the rope as a guide. He landed and took off running, trying to get as far away as
he could.
Meanwhile, Sasuke, as soon as Naruto had a few minutes head start, gave up and requested to
see the Hokage. Let's just say Sarutobi wasn't a very happy old man. Sasuke walked through
the early morning town, head held high, and sure that he would see Naruto again. After all,
Naruto had promised, hadn't he?
