Ah, um… You see… I really liked your reviews, so… I decided to write more and maybe get a couple of reviews in return. They're really motivating. I also liked the favorites and alerts, thank you for the support.

Summary:

Naruto grew up in another village, a non-ninja village, where team Kakashi is coincidently having a mission.

Chapter 2

"Ah, Naruto-kun," Kakashi sang happily, at the little village's academy's open house. "What do you learn here?"

Naruto looked up at him with a smile, as he offered him some juice, which he gratefully accepted. "We learn stuff about the village, about the marketing and what to do, when the village is under attack," he answered. "We also learn about other villages and their history. We learn about the past and the present."

"Eh," Kakashi muttered, "wouldn't it be more awesome to be a ninja?"

"Actually, I would like to start my own shop one day, so I think this school is pretty fun," Naruto answered honestly.

"What kind of shop?" Sasuke asked, as he held some water up in a cup. "You don't have that many opportunities in this small village, right?"

W-What are they trying to say? Naruto wondered. "Um, I really want to, maybe, have a business going, where I get out of the village a little. Like, they order some stuff from me that doesn't exist in this town, and I travel to another village to get it. Like that?"

"How is that a shop?" Sakura asked, curious. It seemed like team Kakashi was interested in the boy.

A-Am I being attacked? He wondered, though with the suspicious thought he still managed to keep up a smile. "I could transport more items at once, so that I didn't have to make second turns. Like, I'll open the shop on weekdays, and close it to travel on weekends."

"Wouldn't you like living in a bigger village?" Sasuke questioned.

Naruto shook his head, no. "Though, this village is small and nothing interesting happens, everybody knows each other and we're all very happy," he replied with a smile.

"Sakura, Sasuke, over here for a moment," Kakashi ordered and they all moved away from Naruto and formed a circle while having their hands on their thighs. "The plan isn't working."

Sakura and Sasuke sighed. "Then how are supposed to persuade him to move to Konoha?" Sasuke asked.

"I'll use my feminine charm, I guess," Sakura suggested.

"We want him in, not out," Sasuke muttered.

"Rude," she said.

I-I can hear you, Naruto thought, feeling uncomfortable under their discussion.

"Naruto-kun, could you help entertain some of the kids?" one of the teachers asked him, whilst pointing at the bored group of kids. "It would be a great help, whilst we talk with the parents."

"Sure," Naruto replied and walked towards the kids, who brightened up at his arrival.

"Naru-pyon!" they cheered in unison and with a smile on their faces.

A girl with light brown hair and green eyes, stood up from the ground she was sitting on, and walked towards Naruto and pulled him with her. "Hurry, hurry! We're bored!"

"Haven't you talked to the ninjas, yet?" he asked. "I'm sure they could tell you tons and tons of stories."

"But," the little girl stuttered, "but we like Naru-pyon's stories… Like the one, where you and Tai-chan travelled out of the village for the first time and got lost! We want to hear that story again!"

He chuckled. "Alright then, Ann-chan," he agreed and looked at the other kids. "Sit around in a circle and you all got something to drink, right?" They nodded in unison, as they formed a circle, with Naruto. "Let's begin from where we were asked by Nakamura-san, Tai-chan's father, to get him some stuff from the other village."

"Skip it and go to the fun stuff!" a boy complained.

"Ah, we would like to hear, too!" the group jumped in surprise, when they saw team Kakashi behind them, all ready to listen to Naruto's tale. "The more the merrier, right?" Kakashi said with glint in his eyes.

That looks so evil, Naruto thought. "Well then, please join us, Kakashi-san." He did his best trying not to look terrified. "So, let's start from the fun stuff, as Shintaro-kun said."

Nakamura-san saw us off at the gate, with a smile on his face and a, just to scare us, a knife, which he uses to cut the watermelons with, in his right hand, whilst he waved with his other. It was a year ago, so it was when we were 11, Tai-chan and I that is.

We were naïve kids, so we didn't think that we would need a map, or anything. And by naïve, I mean that Tai-chan refused to use a map, saying that a real man go by instincts. That didn't go as well as he thought it would, because we ended up out in nowhere.

We didn't know where we were, or how we even got there, so I suggested that we asked the next person, who came by, but…

"I'm not sacrificing my manliness, just so you can sleep in a warm bed, tonight!" he yelled at me. "If we don't find the village before sunset, then we'll camp outside!"

Of course, I had to follow what he said, or else he would cut me open.

Shintaro laughed. "Knowing the sadist, Nakamura Taiga-san, he would do it in a heartbeat!"

"That's why my life was in danger at the time," I muttered, with a small laugh.

So, when the sunset came, I asked him once again, if we could just ask someone for directions, but once again…

"Do you wanna know why boys have a dick?" he asked. "It's because, if we don't do things our own way, it'll get cut off! That's the threat Kami-sama sent us. If we don't protect the women, boom it's off! If we don't fight for our village, boom it's off! If we ask for directions, instead of using our natural sense of direction, boom it's off!"

"You have no sense of direction!" I complained, but that didn't help. Rather, he became ghostly pale.

"If I have no sense of direction," he started out, slowly, "then I'll have to ask people for direction, and then my manhood will get cut off… I have committed a sin, Kami-sama!"

That night, we still didn't ask anyone for directions, and we had to sleep in the forest, which was quite scary, because of all the noises there were, but what never got me to sleep was the trembling Tai-chan, who was sleeping by my side, whilst clutching… downstairs.

"Would you stop telling embarrassing stories about me in front of the people?!" a voice sounded and Naruto turned to it, showing Taiga with his crutches. "Seriously, that's evil!"

"I-I didn't think you were coming, today," Naruto stuttered.

Taiga began poking Naruto with one of his crutches. "Huh, you're not happy to see me? Am I being a nuisance? Should I go home now?" For every question, he poked Naruto, harder and harder. "Or maybe you just wanted to tell more embarrassing stories about me, what about writing a book about me, huh?"

"Tai-chan," Naruto whined, begging him to stop. "Stop poking me!"

"Oh, you want me to stop poking you now?" he questioned. "That's funny, I wanted to keep going, because it's so freaking hilarious to see your face like that. Or hey, let's tell stories about your stupid face, stupid boy! You little bastard."

The kids around them laughed. "We've heard the story before, Tai-chan," Ann said. "It's nothing new!"

An angry expression formed on his face. "So now I'm nothing new, huh? Have you overused the story, Naru-pyon, huh? You bastard, you always overuse stories, how I hate that smile on your face, I know you're about to laugh, stop laughing Naru-pyon! Why are you laughing?"

"It's just," Naruto said between his laughter, "it's just, the crutches are poking my ribs, which feels funny…"

He then stopped poking them. "Well, are you going with them to Konoha, or not?"

I blinked. "What?"

"Tai-chan," Kakashi sang, "over here for a moment, Sakura, Sasuke, you too."

And so the four of them moved away from Naruto, once again, and formed a circle while having their hands on their thighs, except for Taiga, who was standing with his crutches. "The plan wasn't working," Kakashi said, with a sigh.

"What?" Taiga questioned. "What kind of ninjas are you if you can't even persuade a normal village boy to go with you?"

"We tried everything we could, but we're ninjas," Sasuke began, "not child molesters. You try persuading him, he's as stubborn as a brick wall!"

"I've already suggested using my feminine charm, but someone was rude about it," Sakura grumbled. "Though, he is stubborn."

"Alright, team Kakashi plus Tai-chan," Kakashi exclaimed, "let's start plan B!"

"I can hear you!" Naruto yelled, annoyed.

"Target knows the plan," Taiga said, "retreat!" And off they ran, well, as fast as Taiga could.

Naruto sighed. What do they want from me, seriously? He thought, with a second sigh leaving his mouth. I'm not going to Konoha! Why would Tai-chan even help them with that plan?

"Naruto-kun," a voice behind him said, and Naruto screamed in shock, "Stop screaming like a girl, you should be able to sense me." It was Kakashi.

"How did you get there?" Naruto questioned. "Y-You were in the opposite direction a second ago!"

"I'm a ninja," he said, bluntly. "What if you just travelled with us to Konoha for a while?"

"No," he said, sternly.

"You could take Tai-chan with you, if you feel safest like that."

"No," he repeated.

"We have lots of gorgeous females in Konoha," he tried. "Like the little Hyuga heir, she's your age! I heard she's a beauty."

"I don't want to," he said.

"You could make tons of friends!"

"I have enough friends here!"

"Tai-chan wants to go!"

"Then he goes alone!"

"Go with him!"

"I refuse!"

"You were so polite just a moment ago!"

Naruto gasped. "I'm sorry," he said, with regret as he bowed. "With no disrespect, but I would like to humbly reject your offer, I'm sorry."

Kakashi raised an eye-brow. "I don't think I could get over it," he said with a hand on his chest. "I'll forgive you if you go with us to Konoha."

Naruto was cornered. "B-But, Tai-chan is still in a cast! He can't go with us!"

"You think I'm a ninja for nothing?" he questioned. "I'll carry him, if it takes you to the village!"

He sighed, heavily. "Fine, I'll go with you," he said in defeat. "But don't you have mission to go on?!"

"You know how it's summer right now?" Kakashi questioned and Naruto nodded. "Well, we got a good laugh at who the culprit was."

"Who?"

"A magpie," he laughed. "Apparently, there are lots of magpies around the palace, and so they had gotten through security and stole lots of gold! You know how they love shiny objects, it also help that the gold are in tiny coins."

"A magpie?" Naruto questioned and Kakashi nodded. "A magpie?" He began laughing. "Whoa, this village wasted money on ninjas for a couple of magpies?! It would've been awesome if they were being controlled by someone to steal the gold instead, then we would've needed ninjas, but a magpie? I could've told them that!"

"So, we'll be leaving first thing in the morning!" Kakashi said with an eye-smile.

Naruto froze. "Morning? You leave that early?" he questioned.

Kakashi nodded. "Yep," he answered and waved behind him. "He said yes, they're coming with us!"

"Alright!" Tai-chan's loud voice yelled. "Naru-pyon's gonna be a ninja! I can't wait to see that!"

"What?" Naruto asked confused.

"Hm, how would Naruto-kun look with a headband?" Sakura wondered. "Sasuke-kun, could you show us?"

"Sure," he agreed and formed his hands into a sign while saying; "transform!"

"W-What?!" Naruto yelled as he saw himself, with the clothes he was wearing at the moment, but with a headband on his forehead. "What are you doing?!"

"Does it look good?" Sasuke asked with Naruto's voice.

"Whoa it would really suit you, Naruto-kun!" Sakura said.

"Whoa, Naru-pyon as a ninja looks cool!" Taiga praised. "But… the clothes… You need to chance your clothes; you have no fashion sense, Naru-pyon!"

"I'm poor, I can't afford it!" Naruto said, annoyed. "Change back, Sasuke-kun!"

Sasuke locked eyes with Naruto, and in a heartbeat, the two of them were having a staring contest. "Fine," Sasuke said as he gave up the staring match and changed back.

Taiga still had a grin plastered on his face. "We're going to have so much fun in Konoha! I've heard they have babes over there!"

That's how they tricked him, Naruto realized. "That's dirty, Kakashi-san."

"Dirty might not be my middle name, but it is written in my heart," he said. "He was easier than you, you should be proud!"

"Why would I be proud of that…"

So, please review, favorite, alert, some of those… If not, well, I guess it just wasn't your taste then…
