The Rain and The Sun Chapter 2

Naruto woke up in a room he didn't recognize. Not sure where he was he looked out the window that had a beautiful view of the village and the Hokage monument. Looking at the Sandaime's face all the events of the previous night came crashing down on Naruto. The mob, the man who had saved him, who had adopted him. Has he let those thoughts wash over him as he realized he was no longer alone. He had a brother! Naruto in is excitement hadn't noticed the knock on his door or his now surrogate-brother enter the room. "Well little maelstrom I see that your awake."

Naruto turned his head so fast that to Hariken that he looked like he must have gotten whip-lash. "NII-SAN!" Hariken chuckled at how loud Naruto was and before he knew it he was on the ground in a crushing flying hug

"Thank you so much hurricane-nii."

Now wearing a small smile Hariken said " Hey, no problem you're a good kid otouto, some people are just stupid not seeing that." Naruto putting on a fox grin says " Hey nii-san can you teach me that cool wind trick you did last night?"

Hariken laughs at this, confusing Naruto.

"Nii-san why are you laughing, what's so funny?"

Hariken stopped laughing and said "Well Naruto it's just, that is a master level futon manipulation technique. Pure chakra manipulation. You would have to train for tens of years to ever come close to that level of manipulation and that's if you even have wind nature chakra." Naruto looked a little down at that but then instantly cheered back up saying "Last one to the kitchen has to wash the dishes!" Hariken looked amused and counted on his fingers "1..2..3" "NII-SAN WHERE'S THE KITCHEN!" Hariken laughed at this point saying "I KNEW IT! WELL YOU'RE WASHING DISHES NOW" as he ran out of the room laughing.

"Hey nii-san, where are we going."

With out looking at his little brother, Hariken said " To get you some new clothes the orange jumpsuit is horrible." Naruto jumping to the defence of his favourite color says " Hey what's wrong with orange, I love orange!" At this point Naruto realizes that Hariken has stopped and is looking in a different direction.

"Nii-san?"

"Huh, oh sorry Naruto I just felt something off, and the reason is because the entire thing is orange and you want to be a ninja. Ninja are assassins of the night. Orange really sticks out in the night, honest to log little maelstrom think about these things." Naruto looks disgruntled at this comment and mumbles " Not my fault there's only three stores that serve me." Hearing this with his heightened senses instantly darkens his mood

"I really hate these people."

"Nii-san, you can't blame the ignorant, I don't know why they hate me but I don't hate them. Besides it would be really bad if the Hokage hated everyone in the village, believe it." Naruto said most of this with a straight face, ending with a smile at the last part.

"Dear log you've been going on about being Hokage all day ever since breakfast." Naruto turned to Hariken and yelled "WELL I AM GOING TO BE HOKAGE, BELIEVE IT."

"Okay Naruto calm down. Dear log child you are going to be the death of me." Naruto just crosses his arms and make a grunting noise and keeps walking, Hariken follows him as they head towards the shopping district.

"Ah. Here we go Higurashi Clothing and Weaponry. Everything a ninja needs to kill another day. Hmm catchy slogan." Naruto looked like he was about to say something but stopped and followed Hariken into the store. Looking around Naruto didn't really see anyone in the shop so he guessed he would be safe and left to explore the shop. Walking up and down he saw tons of weapons ranging from shuriken to a large naginata with a pure black blade. From the front of the store he can hear a bell ringing and thinks to himself "That must be nii-san ringing for service, I wonder if that girl Ten-Ten is here again?" Naruto was interrupted from his thoughts when he bumped into a raven haired girl he knew as Sasuke Uchiha. The second child of the clan head Fugaku Uchiha and his wife Mikoto Uchiha.

"Watch where you're going kid." Naruto not liking being embarrassed like that jumps up and instantly accuses Sasuke saying. "You watch where you're going teme." All of sudden something flies through the air and both the six year olds hear from the front of the store "No swearing Naruto!" Sasuke at this is at this point really confused because she had seen the now identified desk bell fly around the corner of the isle and hit Naruto on the head.

"What, how, when, HUH?" In the background of her confusion she can hear a maniacal laugh echoing.

"Just ignore it Sasuke, he's crazy."

" OWWW!" Screamed Naruto as another thing flew around the corner.

"I heard that Naruto." Naruto, who is now grumbling to himself about something that sounded to Sasuke as

"Stupid perfect aim."

Sasuke just stares at the small blond child with a poker face when a voice behind her says

" Huh he seems happier than before." Sasuke look's to his left to see a girl wearing Chinese clothing and had her hair done up in to buns.

" My name is Ten-Ten, you're Sasuke Uchiha right?" Ten-Ten seemed to be a year older than Sasuke and Naruto. She looked tom-boyish but the girl knew better than to point it out.

" So, is there any thing you need Sasuke-chan?" Relieved for the return from the crazy world she had just encountered.

"Well before that insanity, I was in here looking for basic supplies, I'm going to the academy in the fall so I thought I would get some kunai and shuriken. I also want a blade but my mother won't buy me one until I graduate from the academy." Ten-Ten took up a pensive look and said "Well, the kunai and shuriken are in isle three but we offer academy packs in isle 7. Anyways isn't your birthday in a week?" Surprised at all the girl's info Sasuke decided to answer the girl's question. "Yeah, July 23rd. By the way how do you know the layout of the store so well?"

"Because her dad owns the store." Looking to the floor both girls can now see an annoyed looking Naruto staring off toward the front of the store.

"Yeah he's right. Naruto you should probably leave, you know me and daddy are cool with you but my mom, it's just, well I actually don't get it but it would be really bad if she caught you in here."

By this point Sasuke had no clue as to why it would be bad. Naruto was annoying but he wasn't a bad kid, she just didn't understand.

"I'm not allowed, Hariken-nii said that if I meet any one who hates me for no reason I'm supposed to call and let him deal with it. He was really upset about how people in the village treat me." Sasuke still didn't understand and Ten-Ten looked confused as she asked "Who is Hariken?"

"Hariken is my older brother." Naruto answers with a smile.

"But I thought you said last time we met that you had no family?"

"I didn't Nii-san adopted me last night after he HMMP" Standing behind him was the purple haired nin with a jonin attire on.

"Now now Naruto ninja's don't go around talking about all their secrets. Well I'll be seeing you two later I'm sure. Come on Naruto now we need some new clothes.

"Let's see. We have clothes, supplies, weapons and food. Now I just have to get you that application form." Naruto was just ready to be done with it all.

"Nii-san when is it going to be over, I want to go home!" Exasperated Hariken looks at the whining child smiles and says "If you shut up and stop whining I'll buy you ramen." Hariken had quickly realized the leverage that ramen held over his little brother.

"Oh yeah! Come on lets go! Ichiraku's here I come!"
