Play Pretend

Chap. 2

PLEASE READ!

This is the revised version of chapter two so look carefully for the revisions.

Iruka's POV

'Finally, they're graduating. I finally got rid of these brats!' I thought as I entered the classroom.

As I enter the classroom I saw the typical behavior of the girls nowadays. Beat Naruto to a pulp. Now before I start ranting inside my mind again how the villagers of Konoha implant the wrong ideas to the minds of the younger generations because most of the girls in my class are from non-shinobi families, I just stop to think for a moment of the times when we were all younger. I was a genin then and the times that I was with them I treasured them the most. I thank whatever God or Deity there is up there meeting Ryousuke-kun so young. I guess if I didn't then the villagers would have brainwashed me too to think that Ryousuke was the Kyuubi too. Well I'm going of topic; I gazed at the girls again and started thinking.

'Why are they beating him up again this time? Probably some stupid reason that the adults implanted into their brains agai-' and I stopped at that train of thought as I saw secret smiles on Ino and Sakura.

'Those two don't really know how to hide their amusement don't they?' I silently chuckled.

I shouted and use the Big Evil head no jutsu then the girls stopped and went to their seats. I saw Naruto looking like a dirty pancake.

'Hehehe poor Ryousuke-kun.' I thought

I started my speech…

End of POV

Naruto's POV

I was saved by Iruka-nii from the rabid fangirls of Sasu-chan. I, of course, understand. Who wouldn't want a piece of his cute ass of his?

"Today you all start…" Iruka starts his boring and long speech I heard Kakashi-nii-san complain to me about last night. Man… he's gotten boring ever since he began teaching… At least while in the academy… Hmmm… I always forgot to ask how he still functions like that since he's still in ANBU and most of the missions he gets there are either S or SS class. How the hell does he do it?

"… To protect our…" It really is boring. So very brain busting boring. I wonder when he is going to announce the teams. I'm not worrying, I'm 100 sure that I'm going to be teamed at least 1 of my sibs.

"Today, all of you will be teamed according to your grades…" Man, he's such a windbag! Announce the teams already!

"Team 1 is blah blah blah…" it was as if he read my mind. Damn.

"Team 7 Uzumaki Naruto…" Finally! "Haruno Sakura…" I cheered not only because I wanted to but my mask made it look like I like Sakura-neechan. She in turned looked dark, ready to kill, the seal making her do it. "And Uchiha Sasuke." "Iruka-sensei why you team me up with that teme!" at the same time Sakura shouted a loud cheer and saying. "See that Ino-pig! True love conquers all!"

End of POV

In the minds of the other Konoha nine (A/N: I want to call them that. I'm the author so what I say goes.) had lines of thought like…

'I knew there would be at least one of us but damn I wanted to be the one!'

'Damn! I didn't get Naru-oniisan.' That was Hinata.

'God Damn, Son of a female dog. What type of crap system are we following?!' Uhm yea just about like that. (A/N: Everything else goes canon)

(A/N: Almost forgot, everything goes canon almost, I repeat almost goes cannon)

The senseis of Teams 1 to 6 and 9 came and left with their teams. Teams 7, 8 and 10 waited until a man and a woman came. They thought "Yes! We got Asuma and Kurenai. I wonder who the third is."

"You nine follow us."

They simply followed looking confused (A/N: Please remember the seal.)

They all arrived into their training grounds.

The training ground was enormous it comprised of a wide range of different types of environments and terrain. A dessert, freshwater and saltwater lakes full of aquatic animals suited for the type of water including sharks, hot springs, rocky terrains, magma rivers, canyons, a jungle, the safari and even a mountain of never ending snow.

They gathered around in one of the larger clearings that were covered in grass, their usual spot in playing instruments.

A man with silver hair stood reading an orange book that they've seen Asuma, Konohamaru's, the grandson of the Hokage, dad read often, if not secretly away from his wife's eyes.

Then they heard a loud cry of a bird. An eagle, it was an eagle that was heading towards them.

"A-akumu! My family's m-messenger." Hinata gasped out. (A/N: The seal please!)

Tied on its leg were three familiar yellow ribbons

The group almost shouted for joy seeing the familiar ribbons, keyword almost meaning their mouths were already slightly open. The seal was weakening or else impulses like that were impossible.

The eagle landed on Kakashi's arm and stuck out its leg for so that it was easier to get the ribbons off the poor things leg.

Once the ribbons was out of its legs it flew off of Kakashi's arm

Kakashi distributed the three ribbons to Kurenai and Asuma. Then all three tied it unto their own wrists. (A/N: Try tying one on your own. It's really hard especially when it's short.)

The three then charged chakra into the ribbons and started to wave it into the air leaving yellow streaks of light. By the time the first word was made the genins asked "What are you doing?" they asked simultaneously and the senseis answered. "You mean you don't know?" By then the last stroke for the kanji for the word fuiin or seal.

Then a bright flash of light engulfed the area. On the places of the genins were them alright but one look and you'll say they weren't.

On the spot of Hinata was someone totally opposite of her while the seals were on. She wore leather leaving almost nothing to imagination (think catwoman), a body not of her age. Black crocodilian pelts stuck to her like second skin. A whip was also dangling on her left hip. Bandages wrapped her abdomen hiding senbon needles.

Next was Sakura, a forest green tank top with an open black cotton jacket that hung loose. Dark blue short pant that reached just below her knees and instead of her normally worn shinobi shoes, she used mud colored combat boots.

Then there was Ino, her hair was longer than ever. It was tied down in a crisscrossing pattern of black ribbons. (Think Kadsuki of the Get Backers). Bells hung on her hair just an inch above her left ear. Surprisingly she wore traditional clothes of oinin or hunter nin but instead of white were black and had black bandages on her fists.

Starting for the boys was Shino. He almost looked the same except for his spikier hair and smaller version of his shades (A/N: Here's another rip off from the get backers in 5…4…3…2…1…) and had violet hypnotizing eyes, the Jagan or Evil Eye.

Kiba had a violet tank top, silver arm bracers and black baggy pants. (A/N: Think Kai of the Bladebreakers.)

Shikamaru wore a black flowing shirt and black pants but it was tight enough to show rock hard muscles. A gigantic hammer hung from his back.

Chouji wasn't big boned anymore. Muscles replaced fat and he looked delicious. (A/N: lol!) He was wearing a black wife beater shirt and loose jeans but not that loose!

Sasuke wore a blood red shirt and a black sleeveless hoodie hung loose on him and baggy pants that had quite a few seen pockets and a lot of secret pockets that hid kunais, shuriken and scrolls galore!

Naruto had a TIGHT black tank top, a jean jacket looked like its sleeves were torn off and unconstricting pants.

They looked at each other and then at the top of their lungs yelled…

"YES!" which echoed throughout the whole desolate and empty training field, across the lave rivers, the lakes, the ice and dessert.

"Now Genin teams 7, 8 and 10 jounin instructors are supposed to give a second test to you but as we all know that you're all on par with the Sannins and have superb teamwork even if we switch your teams with someone else." Asuma said that still had a cancer stick on his mouth.

"Now, why don't we introduce ourselves? Your likes, dislikes, hobbies and dreams." Kurenai said

"I'll start. I'm Hatake Kakashi, former Anbu nin, son of the White Fang. I like my friends, the Icha Icha book series and being late for appointments. I dislike Gai, who proclaims himself as my eternal Rival. My dream is to one day marry a certain dolphin and have many kids." Then Kakashi's visible eye turned into an upside down letter "U".

"I'm Sarutobi Asuma, son of the Hokage. I love to smoke." Everyone started muttering at the same time. 'It's SO not obvious, NOT!' "Ahem… I love my son, Konohamaru very much. I dislike nothing. And right now my dream is that my son grows up to be a strong shinobi."

Somewhere…

"Achoo!" Sarutobi Konohamaru sneezed.

"Geez! Somebody must be talking or thinking about me. Hope its Hanabi-chan…" then he got back to looking for his playmates in playing ninja.

Back to the Training Grounds.

"I'm Yuuhi Kurenai, Konoha's Genjutsu Mistress. I like gardening, my friends, dango and an old book series from the old world called "Harry Potter" (A/N: I LOVE HARRY POTTER!). I dislike the blind villagers that see Naru-chan as the demon sealed inside of him. My dream is to one day meet a guy who'll love me as I am not because I'm physically beautiful but also inwardly."

"Ladies first." Shikamaru said

"I'm Haruno Sakura, only child of the Hokage's personal Anbu squad's leader. I like a certain green spandex wearing taijustsu user… (Everybody looked horrified) JUNIOR! I MEAN YUCK IF IT WAS GAI! Anyways… I dislike putting on the seal everyday, I mean we couldn't be our true selves, always living a lie. My dream is to change Lee-kun's style of proper hair and clothing and also to marry him!" she giggled out the last phrase.

"My turn! Name's Hyuuga Hinata! Don't you forget that! Anyways, I like music, torture and killing…" she stuck her tongue out playfully. "I dislike people that see Ryu-niisan as the monster that's sealed inside him. Oh! I almost forgot I love my family and Neji-niisan and that even though he hates me because Hizashi-otooji was supposedly sacrificed to Kumo because of the killing of their representative that kidnapped me that Kumo claimed to be innocent of and that blames the Hyuuga that we just killed him off deliberately.(1)" She ranted. "and I also like Kiba-kun! (Kiba blushed a tomato.). My ambition is to have his babies and of course marrying him. And my dream is to be in Konoha's Torture and Interrogation Unit."

"I'm Yamanaka Ino, 2nd generation Yamanaka in the Ino-shika-chou formation. I like a certain hammer-using nin. I…" she never got to finish her sentence as she was kissed by said hammer-using nin. "Uhmm… I uh dislike arguing with my best friend, Sakura. I almost forgot, I like using the wires inside these bells." pointing to the bells above her left ear. " as my weapons. And my dream is to become THE greatest female oinin."

"YO! The name's Nara Shikamaru. I love being active and a certain blonde and teal eyed girl. I dislike nothing. My dream is to be this village's top strategist and marry that certain teal eyed girl." He winked at Ino

"Name's Akemichi Chouji, my loves and hobbies are the same as they staying fit and finding ways to improve my family's fighting style. I dislike it when people see me eating a seemingly endless supply of barbecue chips. My goal is to improve the fighting style of my family as many of them die of heart diseases just to be able to use the family techniques."

"Aburame Shino the name and drums are my game, I love my bugs and I've given my inner poet a hug. I dislike bug spray; if you have one you better pray." (A/N: I like him, he's somewhat mysterious. BUT its fun playing with the character's characteristics and making them completely opposite, well somewhat, of their original characteristics)

"Inuzuka Kiba. Hate being loud, hurts my throat and sensitive ears. Likes dogs and Hinata-chan. Dream is to be a hunter-nin and marry Hinata-chan."

"Uzumaki Naruto, real name Kazama Ryousuke, son of the Yondaime Hokage, Jinchuuriki no Kyuubi no Kitsune. I like training with my siblings…" Everyone grinned at him. "Sasu-chan…" Sasuke blushed bright red from the cute pet name while the others were either howling of laughter: Hinata, Shino, and Shikamaru, Snickering: Sakura, Chouji, Kiba, Asuma and Ino or Giggling Kakashi and Kurenai. "Ahem! And my senseis too." He got a slap on the back from both Asuma and Kakashi and a kiss on the cheek from Kurenai. "I dislike looking like an idiot and the Akatsuki (2) except Itachi-niisan and fishface Kisame…"

In another part of the shinobi world…

"Achoo!" Itachi and Kisame both sneezed making their preys, some guards of a Lord that they're about to kill, run away.

"Someone's talking about us."

"Must be someone reading about us in the bingo books."

"Oh damn! They're gone."

"Well, we might as well rest for now." Itachi said leaning onto the trunk of the tree they were on and started snoozing.

Kisame just shrugged and followed suit on a higher branch and muttered. "Just hope it isn't that Ryou-brat calling me fishface again…"

Back to the Training Ground

"And-and- ACHOO! And my dream is to be Hokage." Then he mumbles something. They caught the words "hard-core" "nose bleeding" and "with Sasu-chan".

Sasuke blushed a tomato as he was near enough to hear. Sasuke then proceeded to bonk Naruto on the head and shouted.

"YOU'VE BEEN READING TOO MUCH OF KAKASHI-SENSEI'S BOOKS!"

Kakashi still had the decency to look sheepy.

Everyone else just laughed at their fallen leader.

"Anyways I'm Uchiha Sasuke, one of the last remaining Uchihas. Like Sakura I hate putting on the seal everyday. I love my mom and dad, my brother, Itachi and my other blood sibs and sibs outside my family and Naruto-kun even though he's such a pervert sometimes. I hate the Akatsuki exceptions being Itachi-nii and Kisame and I also hate the villagers that see Naruto-kun as the demon that is sealed up inside of him. My dream is to repopulate the Uchiha district with Naruto-kun."

Then Naruto moved close to Sasuke's ears and whispered, "You know, we can do that right now if you want to."

Sasuke simply grew new colors of red and had a slight nose bleed.

Everyone giggled knowing fully well what was said between the two.

"Ok, what the hell is going on here? Naruto being bold enough to say naughty things to Sasuke-kun? What the hell?" Inuzuka Tsume, Kiba's mom asked.

"Yes, I clearly remember him promising that he won't do those things until their first kiss?" Nara Shikato came into the clearing.

"Yes, I remember that promise and I quote: "I would never say or suggest naughty things to Sasuke until we kissed our first kiss which must be accidental." Hyuuga Hiashi and thought to be dead Hyuuga Hizashi also came into the clearing

Soon most, most because the others are away on a mission, of the shinobi clan heads and parents of the Konoha nine came into the clearing.

"Ooh! Father you won't believe what happened." Ino squealed seeing that her father came into the clearing.

"Oh really Ino-hime? What's so unbelievable that got you all excited?"

Then…

Naruto and Sasuke sitting in a tree

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

First comes love

Then comes marriage

Then comes the baby

In a big white carriage(3)

"Guys!" Sasuke once again demonstrated how to find new kind of hues for red.

Everybody else just laughed.

(1) Neji isn't privy to their secrets but Hanabi is.

(2) They knew of the Akatsuki remember in the 1st chapter?

(3) I don't know how they sing it in the states since in my country we stop at K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
