Justify
Chapter 2
"Where are they? They were supposed to be here 15 minutes ago!" Yelled Naruto. He and his team were supposed to meet outside of the academy 15 minutes before 8. Now it was 8:01. Just what were his teammates doing? But when they show up he would give them a piece of his mind.
Apart from today being The Chuunin Exams, today was also the day Uzumaki Naruto will 'Reveal' himself.
"Calm down Naru-Chan. If you keep this up one of the other teams will attack you. You know how the Sandaime explained how most teams get all giddy and tend to attack." Said Kyuubi.
"I know Kyu-Chan, but we should already be inside! Inspecting the other teams! Observing them and how they might be! Were wasting time here with them not being here!"
-BAM!-
"NARUTO NO BAKA! STOP DAY DREAMING AND LETS GO INSIDE!" yelled one pink haired brat.
"Sakura this is no time to be beating me! Why are you and Uchiha so late? Huh? You should have been here almost 20 minutes ago!" yelled Naruto.
"Ahh is the Dobe mad? Come on Dobe get out of your pissy fit, and lets go inside." Said chicken haired Uchiha.
"Fine….only because we're about to take our first exam into going up in the ranks of shinobi will I let this slide, but next time you won't be so lucky."
"Ohh I'm scared, what is Naruto no Baka going to do to us Sasuke-Kun?"
"He won't do anything, remember he may be better than you Sakura, but he can't do anything to hurt me or beat me."
"We are wasting time here! Lets go inside already!" said Naruto.
"Don't let them get to you Otouto, you'll show them during the second exam what you are. And what you can do." said Kyu-Chan assuring Naruto.
"Arigato Aniki."
Inside the Academy with Kotetsu and Izumo
Naruto P.O.V
When we reached up to the second level of the academy, I noticed two chakra signatures. Kotetsu and Izumo…those idiots….
"Hey come on let us in!" said a girl with her hair up in a two buns.
"No way! We are doing you guys a favor…most people that take this exam either go insane or die….were saving your pathetic lives as shinobi you know that?" said the kid with the bandaged nose also known as Hagane Kotetsu.
"Yeah you guys should listen to him." Agreed his partner with his hair covering one eye also known as Kamizuki Izumo.
"Come on we won't know until we try it!" said a random shinobi gennin.
"We'll we've tried it before and we're still gennin. We quit before we died. And that was just the first exam."
"Come on you must be pulling our leg!" said the girl with buns.
"Oh sure…if we did were we would've already let you in you know that?" said Izumo.
Before any body else could reply the Uchiha spoke up.
"Hey you two drop the genjutsu on the sign, because if you haven't noticed this is only the second floor. And we want to get to the third floor. I'm sure Sakura with your excellent ability to see through Genjutsu that you would've noticed it already."
"Bleh that is the only thing she can do, and she still sucks at it." I thought.
"Yeah Sasuke-Kun is right! You should undo your Genjutsu right now!" said Sakura. "Wow Sasuke-Kun complemented me…he must be starting to feel something for me." Thought Sakura.
"Well I guess you figured us out, when now we have to take you out." Said Kotetsu running towards Sasuke ready to punch him.
"Like you could take me out." Said Sasuke who just took the Uchiha taijutsu stance and prepared for kick.
"Dumbass." I thought.
"Sasuke-Kun is so cool!" Thought Sakura.
Before either punch or kick could land on either opponent a green blur appeared and prevented both attacks.
"You guys should save this for the exam. You don't want to get disqualified do you?" said a kid with pale eyes.
"Hyuuga Neji rookie gennin from last year." I thought.
"Hey Lee I thought you said we weren't going to show our abilities yet." Said the bun haired girl.
"Gomenasai Tenten, but I don't want this youthful show of energy to go to waste with out a proper audience."
When every one finally turned to look at the spot were the Uchiha and Kotetsu were at, but saw that neither Kotetsu and Izumo were there.
"Hey where'd they go?"
"Maybe they went home."
"Nah I bet there up on the third floor already."
Was the conversation that everyone else in the room was having as they headed upstairs.
"Well I'd really like to stay and chat but we have a place to be." I said.
"Hey you with the blue shirt what is your name?" asked Neji.
"You do know its polite to give your name first before asking for your name." said Uchiha.
"Oh then why did your dumbass tell Gaara your name, huh?" I asked getting annoyed.
"Shut up Dobe."
"Hmm never mind…it seems between the way you and your comrade talk to each other you're a weak team, you seem to not be as strong as I thought, lets go Lee…TenTen."
I was pleased, Sasuke wasn't. It was a good morning for me.
"Why'd did you do that Dobe? They just underestimated us! They won't know what were made of! I should really beat the crap out of you."
"Yeah Naruto! You made Sasuke-Kun and me look weak!" said Haruno.
"Speak for yourself pinky…and plus isn't it better that they underestimated us? Remember they underestimate us…they still don't know what we are made of….so they might think we are weak….but are we? It'll be easier to kick there asses if they think we are weak you know." I said.
"Hmmm….I guess that was….a good idea…..isn't it Sasuke-Kun.?"
"Can't she ever think for herself?"
"Yes…yes it was….for once…the Dobe here did something that was impossible….he thought and it didn't hurt." Said Uchiha as he started walking upstairs.
"Keep thinking that Sasuke….every insult you and the bitch say to me will come down on you 10 fold."
With Kotetsu and Izumo
"Ohh poor Gakis…they don't know what Naruto is made of….especially when he is paired with Kyu-Chan, huh Izumo."
"I feel really bad for them….lets just hope Anko doesn't have to hear this….Remember that last time someone said these kind of things about him?"
A shudder went up and down there spine….that day wasn't the best day for that person….
In front of the doors of the Room for the First Exam
Naruto P.O.V
"Oh I'm glad the three of you came. Especially you Sakura." Said Kakashi with his weird U shaped eye.
"Why are you glad that I came Sensei?" asked Haruno.
"I can't believe it…she was the smartest one of our year! What the hell is our standard now?!"
"Well you see…only a team of three can take this exam."
"Then why did you say that it was our choice to take it."
"To see who would come…but either way if you didn't want to come, I'm sure Sasuke here would've tried to persuade you or forced you to take the exam if he knew the circumstances." Replied Kakashi.
Sakura gulped….was she in a pile of shit right now.
"Well come on Sensei! We want to take this exam now! So we could kick every one in there's asses!" I yelled acting like the old Naruto now. But hey who wouldn't act like that idiot mask of mine?
The adrenaline rushing through your veins….it just wants you to get something and rip it apart….like a person….especially the people that bug you….
Kakashi must of noticed the malice in my eyes, because he gave me a look and quickly said "Well good luck Team Kakashi. From now on you guys are too work together. Okay." With that said he moved out of the way and let us into the room.
But before I could enter he told me "Be good."
What did he expect me to turn into the demon that was sealed in me or something? So with a dead panned voice I said "Of course I'll be good Kakashi-Sensei."
Ohh I will be good. I'll be good enough to rid me of some people.
And I walked past him and into the room, the double doors shutting behind with a slam.
"Oh Sensei….what have I done?" said Kakashi looking out the window and into the sky blue.
Inside the room
Okay so far the people I have seen are the entire rookie nine and that Kabuto traitor dude. So I could let out my anger on someone and not get in trouble for it in this exam.
"Forget everything right now about your anger Otouto focus on the people in this room, and focus some of my chakra onto them….so you could get their information."
Yes….I also knew a way to use Kyu-Chan's Youki. I could very small partials of chakra and attach it to someone and when I command it to come back to me I get all of that person's information.
"Hai Aniki."
I let loose a very small amount of chakra and even that small amount I concentrated on cutting it up into even smaller pieces and attached it to the people in this room Except for the rookie nine and Kabuto. I've known there status for as long as I can remember. Most of them are weak.
Except for maybe Nara Shikamaru, Aburame Shino, Akimichi Chouji, and Hyuuga Hinata.
Yes Hyuuga Hinata. The supposedly 'shy' girl, the weak one of her clan. She's another person like me and Gaara, I could say.
Her family treats her like dirt and her father tries his best to try to destroy her refuge and make her into one of the branch family members. The only one her family that doesn't treat her like this is Hyuuga Neji and Her sister Hanabi.
Yes the Hyuuga Neji cared for Hinata. She came up to him one day and explained her situation to him, and he finally after many years understood that his own father choose his fate. One because of his Hyuuga Hiashi and Two to relieve him self of the damned cursed seal of the branch family.
Maybe it was then that Hiashi started becoming a bit cold, and distant, or maybe it was when his wife died, when he started discouraging and demanding more from Hinata. Neji finally understood her situation and helped her.
Nara Shikamaru: the supposedly lazy bum of the class, the smartest among all of them. He had an IQ over 200. A born genius. If he weren't as lazy as he was he'd probably even be stronger than Sasuke. But guessing his ways, he'd probably be the on planning all attacks on enemy Shinobi and putting together teams and how they will work out.
Akimichi Chouji: The laugh of all fat jokes. Didn't they know of his clan techniques? If he were shown other techniques from outside of the clan that guy would be a brute.
Then comes Aburame Shino the creep as most people would say. Why? Just because of his clan techniques and ways. Because of those bugs he uses all the time? Those bugs will help a lot. They could collect information with out you noticing. Then they would come back to him, and he'd tell his team of what the enemy is planning. A great asset.
"Hmm most of these people are weak compared to some of the people 'we' know. But apart from those people, a hand full of them could give you problems. So be careful Otouto and keep your mouth closed."
"Hai Aniki."
Now was the time to be serious…..unlike Sakura and Ino who were fighting over 'Sasuke-Kun'.
"They don't know do they? They are in enemy territory right now. Who knows what kind of whacko would attack them and kill them on the spot….though I wouldn't mind."
"Hey you two cut it out. From the way your acting you must be rookies." Said Yakushi Kabuto.
"Why would we do that?" asked Ino flipping her blonde hair out of her eye.
"Because there are people more powerful than you here, and you wouldn't want your pretty face to get scarred would you now?"
"I guess you do bring up an excellent proposition." Said Sakura.
"No duh! Maybe the only reason it is excellent is cause you don't want that 'pretty' face of yours scared now do you Haruno?"
"So what are a bunch of rookies like you doing here?"
"What does it look like four eyes? We're taking the exam….though I'm not sure about him." Said Kiba who pointed at me.
" Now Kiba the only reason Naruto no Baka is here is because you need a team of three people to be in the exam." Said Haruno.
"And you wouldn't be here if it weren't for that God Forsaken Sensei of ours Haruno." I said coldly.
The rooms temperature dropped a few degrees.
"Now does anyone want to add there two cents about me?"
Silence.
"I didn't think so."
"Anyway….this is my seventh time taking this exam, and I could give you rookies a hand at this game."
"Is it really that hard?"
"It must be or else he is really weak."
People around us muttered these things about Kabuto. He just ignored them.
"And how could you help us?"
"Well you see…with these data collecting cards….I have information from every country and every village from the past years." Said Kabuto pulling out a stack of cards.
"Hmm so you mean any information about anyone?" asked Sasuke.
"Yeah you just say the name and I'll have them."
"Then how about…Rock Lee, Sabaku no Gaara, and maybe the Dobe over there Uzumaki Naruto."
"If you call him a Dobe why do you want to know?"
"I have my reasons."
"Whatever it is your decision…." Said Kabuto.
With that said he got out three cards and channeled chakra into them.
"Well it says here that Rock Lee excels in Taijutsu, but has incredibly little to know no skill in Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. He has done 56 D-Rank missions and 5 C-Rank."
Muttering went around. Kabuto cleared his throat.
"Next is Sabaku no Gaara it doesn't really show his skills here but is says that he had 33 D-Rank Missions, 9 C-Rank and 1 B-Rank. It also says out of these missions he didn't come back with a scratch."
People were impressed for a Gennin to do a B-Rank and not get scratched at all is beyond good.
"Now Uzumaki Naruto. His skills here are hidden so I have no idea. He has done 32 D-Rank and 1 C-Rank mission."
"So the only one we got information from is Lee." Said Ino.
"Geez why would Naruto's skills be hidden? I mean look at him?" said Kiba. Akamaru just looked at me with a sad look in his eyes. I just starred at him then looked away and said…
"You know you shouldn't be saying things….you don't really know me….known of you do…except for some….so don't say shit….that you have no idea about." I said icily.
"Hah come on Naruto stop acting like this….if your trying to be cool….you'll never be that….and I've been with you for the past couple of months there is no way you can be strong." Said Haruno.
"Watch it Haruno….because there is no way for you to become strong. I say the only even having a chance to win Uchiha….is Yamanaka over there….because at least she….has her clan techniques….and what do you have? Those stupid techniques from the academy. So don't say things weakling…."
Everyone in the entire room was silent. They just starred. Sakura was with her mouth open. Shocked at what the boy she thought 'loved' her, said the cruelest things ever to her.
Before any one can say anything. I heard someone puking. I turned and looked at Kabuto there he was on the floor throwing is guts up. I looked up and there was the Oto Shinobi standing over him.
Before anyone can say anything….there was a large explosion and usage of smoke and about 40 Chuunins appeared. Along with the head of Interrogation and torture section of Anbu Morino Ibiki.
"We are in deep shit…" was my thought.
"Hey you two in the back! If you don't stop it right now you and your team are disqualified!" Barked out Ibiki.
"I am sorry sir….I just got excited from the activities among us that I couldn't help myself." Said the mummy looking Oto Shinobi.
"Control yourself….right now for not controlling yourself you're the weakest I have ever seen. Now everyone come up here and grab a number….you will be seated randomly amongst the Shinobi and Kuniochi here today, and will in no way be anywhere near your team."
"Hip hip HOORAY!!"
"Now hurry your asses up, so we could pass out the tests."
"Fuck…"
Now in the seating arrangements
"Oh Konnichiwa Hinata-San."
"Konnichiwa Naruto-Kun."
We greeted each other as Ibiki gave out the instructions to the test. I remember years ago he told me what he did to start the test and that was all. I also told Hinata and I'm guessing she remembered.
I was really jittery right now. I mean it's a written exam….I hate them….
"Naruto-Kun calm down….you don't want to do anything unnecessary before the start of the exam, now do you?" said Hinata.
"No I don't….but you know how much I hate written exams….they drive me insane!"
"I know…but you know you don't really have to do it right?"
"Huh why not?"
"Ohh lets just say, one of my fathers friends from the Anbu department came over and he was drunk…the drunk let some things slip from what Ibiki-San was going to do during the first exam so trust me, you don't need to worry."
"Arigato Hinata-Chan."
"Well you may begin!" said Ibiki.
And as Hinata said not to worry I fell asleep.
"When I said not to worry, I didn't actually think he'd fall asleep…" thought Hinata.
"Naruto no Baka what the hell!!?? Didn't you hear what Morino-San said?" Thought Sakura.
"So the Dobe gave up….guess this exam will really be up to me and Sakura." Thought Sasuke.
All the other rookie nine had the same thoughts that team seven will be the easiest team to defeat…except for a couple of bodies. Those bodies again Nara Shikamaru, Aburame Shino, Akimichi Chouji, and Hyuuga Hinata.
Kyu-Chan P.O.V
So I bet most of you are wondering Why are these 4 any different? Well maybe because Naruto didn't care about there differences.
That is why Hyuuga Hinata has confidence, when Naruto started talking to her she was the weakest out of everyone in the class; now look at her, her lavender eyes filled with confidence. Naruto let her know his secret, she didn't care. So while Naruto helped the others I came out and helped Hina-Chan here.
Aburame Shino; he admired Naruto. Maybe it was one day when he figured out my Otouto loved to Garden. Maybe it was then when he saw him having a conversation with the bugs, telling them to leave for a while, so they could have better looking home. Shino knew other people will just put bug spray to kill off the insects, but here was a kid he barely even knew, making a better home for his insects. He came up to my Otouto and asked him what he was up too.
My Otouto blushed, because no one….and I mean no one knew that he could garden. A keep a beautiful garden at that.
Nara Shikamaru he didn't find Naruto troublesome at all. He actually trained with my Otouto sometimes during the academy. Too think that lazy ass would actually move it….let alone train 5 hours straight with my Otouto, it seemed like a miracle. Since Naruto helped him train and learn a couple of outside jutsu from his clan, Shika-Kun here helped him out on the homework. Who knew that lazy ass could be super smart? Let alone a Genius?
Akimichi Chouji was probably the only one that could rival him in a ramen eating contest. He also trained with my Otouto along with Shika-Kun after the academy. Naruto would sometimes make fun of him because of his size….so before he'd get his ass handed to him he say 'Fluffy guys got more to love.' Chouji would stop his attack and start cracking up. I think that Naruto would one day only tell these guys about me.
But I'm not sure when. But I know it'll happen some day soon….
End of Exam
Naruto P.O.V
"Naruto-Kun…wake up…there about to give the last question." Said Hinata.
"Arigato Hinata-Chan for waking me up….if it were someone else….they would just strike me." I said.
Hinata looked a bit angry when I told her this but she said "Remember Naruto-Kun those that do things to hurt you, or say things to hurt you….those people will receive their punishment ten-fold."
I smiled. "Are you and my Aniki visiting each other? Cause I think she told me that today or was it the other day?"
"She has sometimes visited me at the compound for some last minute training, in other areas apart from my clan's technique."
"Hmm do you think I should tell the Shika, Cho, and Shino about her?"
"Well I know it will be my opinion, but I would say yes. Because they have been there for you even though no one else has. So telling them about her it will help you even more…when they know what actually happened instead of the lies they shoved down our throats." Said Hinata.
"Hmm I'm guessing I'll have to tell them during the second exam…"
"SHUT UP!!"
The room was in silence. Ibiki smiled.
"So now for the tenth question you will be a simple yes or no. But with different circumstances. If you fail to answer the question correctly you will be banned from ever taking the Chuunin Exams!"
"What?! But there are people here for there 2nd time!" yelled out a random person.
"Well you guys didn't get so lucky….you got Me." said Ibiki.
"Didn't he tell me that he failed his own brother?" I thought.
So as Ibiki started to explain the circumstances and people started leaving…..I thought….and thought….and I got an idea.
I slowly raised my hand up….I could feel the Uchiha and Haruno glaring holes into my back. 'Dumbasses….I'm going to try to keep as much of the enemy's around, maybe they could nick me a teammate or two…'
Ibiki smirked 'Hmm what will he do??'
As soon as my hand was all the way up….before the Chuunin could say a number, I slammed it down on the desk so hard there was an imprint of my hand…
"YOU KNOW WHAT!? YOU DUMBASS THE SCARE ME!! MAYBE IT DOES TO THESE SHITTY BASTARDS IN HERE! BUT NOT ME! EVEN IF YOU FAIL ME I'LL BECOME THE FIRST HOKAGE EVER TO BECOME A HOKAGE AS A GENNIN!!"
'Damn it…he wiped the fear out of every one that was just about to quit…I guess…I'll have to let them pass…'
"Congratulations you pass the First Exam!" said Ibiki
"What the hell is your problem? What the hell was this last question for?" Yelled out Kiba.
'If it isn't obvious we really have lowered our standards by a lot…'
"Maybe because once you become Chuunin of your group…you'll become a leader. In that case you have full responsibility of the lives of your team mates. Let say you and your team get an infiltration mission, you don't know the number of enemy's and traps around the perimeter of the area your supposed to enter. So do say no to the mission?"
At this point I could see a couple of ninja nodding their heads. 'it is not that simple, idiots'
"OF COURSE YOU ACCEPT THE MISSION!" Ibiki yelled, and took off his Hitai-Ate. Showing the scars, the all around his head.
"BECAUSE EITHER WAY…." As Ibiki started yelling this out I tuned him out…I mean my ears are bleed from all his damn screaming! So I took the pencil and wrote a small to him. 'Yakushi Kabuto…keep an eye on him…he has a stack of cards with information from every one in the chuunin exams and from other countries….' With that written down on my exam, I drew a picture of myself with the tongue sticking out and fox ears on the top of my head.
CRASH!!
"Hello! Gaki's! I am Mitarashi Anko Proctor of the Second exam and If you would please follow me!" said Anko with one of her hands in the air, and the other on her hip.
As everyone just sat their in shock about this psychotic woman just crashing through the window and telling them that she is the proctor of the second exam…especially with that big black cloak thing hanging from the walls stating what she just said.
"Way to grasp the atmosphere…" said Ibiki.
Anko blushed "Shut up…Well meet me tomorrow morning at 9 am sharp at training area 44. If you don't know where that is….ask your sensei's. Dismissed."
Everyone was still in shock…but got over it. As everyone stood up particularly the rookie 9, all of the them left together except for Naruto who went up to Anko and Ibiki.
"Wow look at Naruto no Baka, I bet he is going to be sucking up to them." Said Sakura.
"How about we watch what happens?" said Sasuke
"WHAT THE HELL IS YOU GUYS PROBLEMS!?! ARE YOU STALKING ME AT THE EXAMS OR SOMETHING?!?"
"Okay maybe he isn't sucking up."
PUNCH!! "WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM GAKI!! AS YOUR OLDER SISTER I JUST WANTED TO BE THEIR FOR YOU WHEN YOU BECAME A CHUUNIN!!" yelled Anko.
"THAT DOESN'T MEAN BECOMING THE PROCTORS OF THE EXAMS YOU KNOW!"
"You two need to calm down…" said Ibiki trying to be peace maker once again.
"BUT SHES A FUCKING PSYCHO!!! HOW COME JIJI LET HER BE AN EXAMINER!? SHES GONNA FUCKING GET US KILLED IN THAT DAMN TRAINING AREA!"
Now when the rookies heard this…they were rooted to the spot.
"Now Naruto-Kun…I wouldn't do that to a bunch of wanna-be-ninja. I don't need to summon anything to get any one killed. With all the tension in the air, and the area we will be in, every one will be killing each other. So you better watch your back. There could be an enemy ninja with a grudge or pissed off, they could come after you and cut you up into tiny little pieces with all the blood lust they have." Said Anko in a whisper that carried out in the room.
"Maybe it would've been a good idea if I raised my hand." Said Sakura.
She felt a glare upon her, and she looked at Sasuke he was looking Murderous.
"Yet you didn't do it? You wouldn't let me fail would you Sakura?" said Sasuke.
"N-never Sasuke-Kun."
"Are you guys in love or something….your making me sick." I said as I approached the Rookies.
"Naruto is that true…what you and those wackos were talking about?" asked Ino.
"No all of it is a lie! We just wanted to scare you. You'll see tomorrow. And don't call them wackos…you heard what my Nee-Chan said….enemy ninja would be thirsty for blood. For Blood to spill in that training area….you all should watch yourselves and be careful of what you say to people…they might be your friend….but they might end up stabbing you in the back…." I said with as much iciness as I could muster.
"Naru-Chan you over did it."
"It is not my fault this weakling fainted over what I said."
"Ino! Ino are you okay?" asked Kiba.
While the Kiba worried over her, I left and nobody noticed.
"Well I'll see you guys later." Said Shikamaru as he, Chouji, Hinata and Shino filed out.
"Hey Chouji, Shikamaru! Why aren't you helping your teammate?"
"Its too troublesome."
"I can't my mom told me I need to help with collection some herbs and spices for dinner tonight."
"Hinata! Shino don't leave me alone!"
"Ano Kiba-San you won't be alone. Sasuke-San and Sakura-San would be here with you."
"…."
Outside of the Academy
"Geez Shikamaru, Chouji, who would've thought you would ditch your teammate like that?" I said.
"I just don't want to here her yelling once she wakes up." Said Shikamaru.
"Same reason as his. Plus she'd be bossing us around, once she wakes up."
"Hinata, Shino? Your reasoning for following me out?"
"Naruto-Kun we just wanted to be with you. Can't friends do that for each other?" said Hinata with her hand on her hip. Her head tilted to the side as if daring Naruto to question or propose another reason for them following them.
"Ugh fine you guys want to come over my house?" I asked.
"Sure why not…maybe I could see that new collection of yours Naruto." Said Shino.
"You mean the garden and the 'interesting' bugs that are among my plants?" I asked.
If Shino could show emotion he would be a bit red right now.
"Ano…Otouto are you going to tell them?"
"It is a good time don't you think? I mean Orochimaru is going to attack the village…so why not tell them now??"
"I think I'll go ahead of you guys so I could prepare dinner…don't you think Otouto?"
"Hai…I'll see at the apartment."
"Did you guys feel that chakra surge right now?" asked Chouji who was eating barbequed flavored chips.
"Yes…it seems either some Jounins are sparring and its getting a bit out of hand." Said Shino.
"Troublesome."
'Naruto-Kun? Did you let Kyu-Chan out?'
"Hey guys the walk to the other side of the village is going to take a while so grab hands, I want to get there fast." I said.
So we all held hands. I closed my eyes, and imagined all of us at my apartment. There was that tugging feeling, the feeling of getting squished and not being able to breath. It ended as soon as it started.
"Here we are Home Sweet Home." I said.
The door from the outside was all white, with scratches imbedded into it. Making it look like if a wild animal tried mauling the door down. I stuck out my finger and followed some of the scratches on the left then I suddenly jumped to the right side and was muttering words that the others couldn't understand. As soon as I finished, from my finger a reddish light was forming itself into a thin string. I stuck the string in the key hole and the door opened.
"Ano…Naruto what was that about?" asked Chouji.
"I don't want people breaking into my home like in my old one." I said.
As I opened the door, they got a good view of the inside of my home, they saw the living room and commented on how beautiful it looked, I told them they haven't seen anything yet.
"So you guys take a seat I'll be in the kitchen getting some green tea, or do you guys want something else?' I asked.
"Green tea is good Naruto." Said Chouji
The others agreed with him.
So I headed towards the Kitchen while the others sat down, and started talking.
Kitchen
"Hey Kyu-Chan." I said greeting my 'older sister'.
"Hello Naru-Chan. Dinner will be ready in the next hour or so."
"Why so long?"
"Well one thing, you know I love to cook the old fashioned dishes and that's what I'm doing today."
"Ohh okay, so during dinner, I'll tell them. That is if they stay that long."
"Why do you say that Naru-Chan. Well you know how some parents are when their children are anywhere near me. Shikas' dad is cool with it. But his mother….she scares me. Chouji's dad….he's cool with it. Hinata….her entire family has ten foot poles up their asses, and Shino….his dad is like Shika's and Chouji's."
"Then I guess if their parents don't mind you for what you have, then they won't care for what you have. I bet it'll give them a better reason, to support you when your down or when your down."
I set up a tray and put 5 cups upside down, with a different tea pot in the middle. The cups had jagged lines running around it in circles with the colors red and black. The tea pot was in a similar creation as the cups.
"Call me when dinner is ready." I told Kyu-Chan as I exited the kitchen. I didn't notice the 8 tailed fox, that was at her feet just sitting there, hoping for piece of the food Kyu was cooking to fall, so it could have its snack.
Living Room
As I entered the living room, I set the tray on the coffee table. I pulled out a cushion from underneath the table, and sat on my knees. I started pouring the tea into the cups and handed each one to my friends.
I was nervous today was the day, that I would be testing their trust. Today was the day that I would find out if they were real. If they would stick with me to the end no matter what.
"So are you guys planning to stay for dinner?"
"Sure why not? I mean it beats having to train with our teams." Said Shikamaru.
"Or being locked up at home." Said Hinata.
Shino stayed silent. Chouji just kept munching.
"Dinner then will be ready with in an hour." I said.
"So Naruto how'd you get this nice place?" asked Chouji.
"You know Jiji he helps me out as much as he can, and I saved most of the money he gave me since I was small, so I got all this stuff for the place."
A smell went through the room.
"Hey Naruto, who is cooking?" asked Shikamaru.
"You'll meet her when we sit down to eat. I guess she was lying when she said it will take about an hour." I said muttering the last part to myself.
"Oh she is here? I guess I'll go ahead and help her. I'll meet you guys in the kitchen okay." Said Hinata.
"So who is she Naruto?" asked Shino.
"She is a person that has been there for me my entire life." I said.
