Meh. Christmas is a hectic time of buying and selling. So I have been buys naturally. Here is the next chapter. Before you read tho. Take into consideration that I DO NOT like Sakura in her IC form. Actually expect a lot of oocness. Mainly for most of the Rookie Nine.
Naruto walked out of the forge carrying a Neginata. Naruto grabbed a pack of food as he made his way into the elevator. After the sensation of going down into the Earth. Naruto threw Sasuke a bottle of refrigerated green tea. "Sasuke...I need to talk to you" Naruto said solemnly. "Hn?" Sasuke said. Naruto unsealed nine yo-yo onto his fingers. "I need to rid you of your ambition" Naruto said. The elevator door shut close. "You can't stop me from killing my brother" Sasuke yelled with ire rising.
Naruto sighed and let loose two yo-yo that were bladed and were made for fast and intense spinning. They rocketed after Sasuke at a speed he couldn't match. Naruto weaved his wands making the yo-yo weave around Sasuke. The wire slashed at his skin as the yo-yo impaled the wall and effectively pinned him down. "Do you really think that Itachi killed the entire clan? Of around 400 people? He is no god" Naruto said.
"He was an Anbu Captain! By age 13 no less!" Sasuke retorted. "And 90% of the people in your clan were ninja many were jounin or Anbu. Your father was once the Anbu Commander!" Naruto shot back. "Itachi is strong. Maybe as strong as two of the three Sannin" Naruto said. Sasuke was going to nod off as he knew this. "A man named Hanzo beat the three Sannin, he is the one who even bestowed that title to them" Naruto said. Sasuke whipped his head at Naruto growling. "What is the point of this" Sasuke said. "Hanzo has been found critically wounded here in Konoha. He has about a month to live" Naruto said. "Who did it?" Sasuke asked slightly curious.
"A man named Pein, and Hanzo says that Pein didn't just defeat him but killed his supporters and family" Naruto said. Sasuke was shocked, Pein must be a god. "Pein is in the organization called, Akatsuki, which Itachi is in" Naruto said. Sasuke took a moment of silence to process this information. "You giving into your anger will not give you power. Pein has a purpose, he believes he is a some deity that is suppose to protect us from war. It makes him strong but it is only a false strength" Naruto said.
"If you truly succumb to anger you are no less that Itachi and are no longer welcome into my home" Naruto said. Naruto resealed his yo-yo and took the elevator up. Sasuke's feet gave way, so he sat for a while. He spent the night thinking about what Naruto said and he advice that he always gave. 'Naruto always said that there is always someone stronger' Sasuke thought.
Naruto's face contorted as he tightened a chakra enforced octagon bolt that was the size of pencil eraser. Sasuke sharpened the last blade while Shino inspected it. Naruto smiled as the last piece was finally complete. "So meticulous with your blades, Sasuke? Shino?" Naruto joked. "Naruto-san it is best to make even just prototypes the best possible quality" Shino explained. "Yes Slave master!" Naruto said.
Sasuke went into the forging room and hammered and folded his first O-Katana. Considering the length and the necessary force to create it, Shino felt it was necessary to do strength training with Sasuke before his attempt. Sasuke thanked Shino when Sasuke first had to do the first fold. Naruto was getting enraged by the springs and bolts for the new Fuuma Shuriken. Sasuke was hard pressed with his sword. Shine laid back on the couch and watched TV.
Naruto and Sasuke simultaneously jumped up and yelled "FINISHED!" Naruto put his hand into the central handle and unfolded the Five blades of the Shuriken. Sasuke pulled out the katana and went into a basic Samurai stance. "As much as you may want to celebrate by sparring we have class in about an hour" Shino said.
Naruto smiled and said "Just enough time!" Shino felt someone pulling his collar then the feeling of split second weightlessness. Shino forced himself to his feet and unleashed his Kikai Bugs. Naruto was spinning the shuriken like a madman shooting it at any target he could. Sasuke sweat dropped as he had to sliced multiple bugs and deflect a very sharp shuriken. "Screw you Shino! You made me sharpen the Shuriken TOO well" Sasuke screamed in frustration.
"And you started to listening to everything I say now?" Shino retorted. Naruto took the conversation to his advantage. Naruto had the shuriken to Shino's neck but had a sword tip at his heart. "Stalemate! Again!" Naruto said. "What do you expect? A master of puppetry and micro management fighting against a person who is quick and well suited for an assassin fighting against another person who is a powerhouse that flares his attacks" Sasuke admitted. "We are too specialized, we need to branch out more" Naruto said.
"I will ask ojii-san for some scrolls later" Naruto said. Sasuke and Shino looked at Naruto. "Erm the Hokage?" Naruto explained with confusion. "You call the strongest Ninja in the village Grandfather?" Sasuk questioned. Shino face palmed and looked to the heavens for help. 'Why did Naruto hafta be so thick sometimes?' Shino thought.
Omake in the Story:
Kami flipped her vision from Naruto to Sasuke. "I wish I could help..." Kami said. Karma walked by and said "Don't blame me!" Fate whistled and walked away. Kami glared at Fate who promptly ran away. Disorder was happily munching on some popcorn with Humility. "When do you think Kaa-san will figure out that we did it?" Humility asked. "When Fate starts to do her 'I didn't do it' teary eyed face" Disorder said. "I am telling your mother" said Death. Disorder and Humility ran away into their room and locked the door.
Omake Over:
Each went to their respective homes to shower and change clothes. The trio arrived almost late if it wasn't for Naruto's idea to make a hole in the wall to crawl into as they didn't have the time to go through all the hallways. The class wondered how they got from the ground level to the fourth story of the building.
Graduation Day
Shino tossed a test tube of a liquid to Naruto. "It is a wax that is expelled from one of our hive bugs" Shino said. Naruto pulled out some wax paper and poured some of the pasty liquid on it. Sasuke used a low level heating technique to dry it. Naruto picked it up and found that with a Non-Plutonium liquid. It could be a solid or a liquid. Who knows?
Naruto threw it in the air and nodded at Sasuke. Sasuke shot a stream of fire at the odd material. It exploded and threw Sasuke backwards. "Well...now we need something to contain this nice fluid" Shino said. Sasuke smiled and looked at Naruto. "I have been working on this spongy material made from all that forge soot" Naruto said. "It is carbon based so it would burn too..." Sasuke said.
"Anyways, you guys up for chakra control training tonight?" Naruto asked. They both nodded and went to their seats as they saw Iruka dragging two mighty Sasuke fan girls. Sasuke quickly put up a bunshin and swapped bodies with it then disguised himself with a genjutsu. "Nice" Naruto commented.
"I will now call out the teams. So, SHUT UP" Iruka yelled. Numerous students drowned out Iruka's noise until he called out their names. "Uniform Squad Seven is comprised of Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki-" Iruka said. Naruto nodded and smiled. The grin was wiped off his face however. "And Sakura Haruno" he finished.
Naruto and Sasuke looked like they were going to commit seppuku. Shino didn't know if he should of made a humorous joke or look sad because he couldn't be on his friend's team. Sakura was boasting to Ino and spouting some sort of nonsense about how Sasuke was going to propose to Sasuke. Sasuke heard all and visibly shook with anger.
"I am so tired of these girls that focus more on beauty than to protect village like Kunoichi are suppose to" Sasuke said. Naruto nodded as Shino said "These girls disgrace past kunoichi, current kunoichi, and the future kunoichi to come." Iruka finished calling out the teams and Sasuke finally exploded. Sakura had said "Only the prettiest Kunoichi gets to be on Sasuke's team Ino-Inu!"
Sasuke disengaged his genjutsu and let two shuriken fly. Sakura was sputtering as she found herself nailed to the wall. Sasuke had a kunai to her throat. "You are a despicable creature. I will never, would never, marry a child like you who wants to look pretty than think about the job! A job of a Shinobi is to complete missions for the village he or she is dedicated to. All you think about is about me and your life. What about the lives of shinobi who have died! You don't deserve this headband" Sasuke said vehemently.
Iruka was confused deeply, Sasuke was always a loner and rather not care about other shinobi yet here, Sasuke defended the name of Shinobi. The jounin watching were in shock. "Sasuke has been spending time with Naruto. He has changed him for the better" the Sandaime Hokage announced. "Really" Kurenai asked in disbelief.
Sasuke went back to his seat. Naruto gave him a friendly hug and patted his back. "I hope she dies" Shino said. Sasuke and Naruto amened to Kami for that statement. Iruka didn't bother and kind of enjoyed that fact that his students were growing up. Sakura was crying hard, or she would be if she wasn't unconscious. Apparently Sasuke used a little too much force and bashed her head against the wall.
A change was also occurring in Sakura's mind. That tiny voice in her subconscious was angry.
"So pathetic, you are here crying. Why don't you better yourself and prove him wrong" the voice said. "I can't! I am so weak and like you said pathetic!" Sakura screamed as he tears trailed down here face. "Fine I will be what you don't have, your spirit. Meld your mind with mine" the voice said. "Will it make me stronger?" Sakura asked. "No, as that so called 'nerd' whose name is Naruto said 'Strength comes from the strength of your will to protect the people you care for and hard work'. I must agree, you may be smart but you have never trained. If you actually ate then trained then that 'fat' would be burned away. You wasted such talent" the voice argued.
Sakura sniffled and tried to suppress her tears. "Fine I will meld with you" Sakura said. "Good" the voice said finally stepping out of the darkness in Sakura's mind. It was Sakura yet completely different from her. Her hair was darker in tint, her eyes were hardened and cold. Inner Sakura placed her hand on Sakura's forehead. Slowly they filtered into each other.
"The Haruno Bloodline finally activates, Nice Sasuke" Naruto said. "You knew this would happen" Sasuke asked slightly irked. "Kind of, the Haruno Bloodline is very strange. It comes with the pink hair. The tougher the Haruno the darker the hair. Sakura's hair is the lightest in her home. Now she is almost red haired. Those with pink hair have inner persona's that can meld with the person and change their personality and give them a boost in their abilities." Naruto explained.
Kakashi examined Sakura only to find opened eyes. "Pervert..." Sakura whispered in here breathe. "Oh good she's aw-" Kakashi was cut short as he got a fist to the chin. "Sasuke Uchiha..." Sakura said with her teethe grinding. Sakura pulled off a round house kick only to be caught by Sasuke's gloved hand. "You still must train a lot harder" Sasuke said. Sakura blushed and shrugged off the light grip on her leg.
"You knocked out our teacher" Naruto input. "Kuso" she said. Kakashi lazily got up ruffling his hair and re positioning his headband. "My first impression is...I hate you. Meet me on the roof" Kakashi said. "I would like my headband back" Sakura said. Sasuke threw it to her and looked at Naruto. They both vanished in a puff of smoke shaped as a fan with a spiral circle surrounded by insects. Sakura stared in disbelief as she had to walk up several flights of stairs.
