Chapter 2 – The day after and team 7
…Day 1 – after graduation exams…
Naruto woke up at the sound of the alarm clock and found himself in a huge bed. This was not the bed in the apartment which was given to him by the Sandaime when the orphanage in its infinite wisdom had thought the blonde was ready to leave a life on his own when he was five. The bed was in the house which he had come to call his 'Home' for the past six years after finding the most shocking truth about his life.
It was around a few days after his sixth birthday that Naruto had stumbled in this house while he was running away from a mob of dunk people. Normally people would mostly ignore him or look at him with those cold eyes or talk about him when he was in vicinity about the demon he was thinking he would not hear (?). But things would intensify around the Kyuubi festival as the mental abuse would intensify and a few times a few drunken people be a shinobi or a civilians had hurt him.
…flashback six years back…
Naruto was currently trying to catch his breath as he hid behind a tree which was situated in what looked like a huge compound. As he was hiding there his mind wondered why this was happening. He never understood why people looked at him with those mean eyes and why he was not allowed to play with other children.
But for the past few days things had turned worse since at first people would only look at him with those mean eyes but after the big festival which they termed as 'YONDAIME FESTIVAL' the mean looks had intensified and few even went on to throw stuffs at him.
But today as he was returning from Ichiraku ramen store he had lost his way and ended up in an alley way. There he had come across few people who smelled really bad as they talked out loud and laughed at everything. But as their eyes fixed on him their laughter became very loud which had scared him as they talked something about 'revenge' 'loved ones' 'kill' 'demon'. Soon those people started attacking him with the bottles they held and anything in their vicinity.
Somehow with tears flowing down his eyes and cuts and bruises on his small body he was able to escape them as they could hardly properly walk. When he thought he had escaped them he was hit by stones as he looked back to find them chasing him. He somehow was able to outrun them through the alleys and jumped over a compound wall to save him from those people. Even though tears ran down his eyes he was able to see that the moment he touched the compound wall a blue glow spread throughout the compound and what looked liked black lines spread along with it.
Meanwhile the group of people didn't understand what was going on since the boy jumped into the air and suddenly disappeared. They thought it was some trick of their eyes since they were heavily drunk. They walked off mumbling about missing the chance to kill the demon.
Unknown to anyone but a few the place Naruto disappeared was a clan compound which was hidden to all eyes unless you were member of clan or a friend. The compound was hidden with high level genjutsu and Fuinjutsu placed on it.
After about what seemed like eternity Naruto sneaked out of the protection of the hiding spot behind the tree. He decided to take a look around the place he was currently hiding. At first glance he could easily tell that this place was similar to one of the clan compounds he had heard the old man Hokage tell him about. But with the way the plants and grass had grown he could tell the place was abandoned a long time ago.
Gathering a lot of courage the young blonde made his way towards the only house that was in the compound. As his small hands reached he handle of the front door the same thing that had happened when he jumped the wall of the compound. A blue glow in shape of a dome became visible and black markings started to appear on the dome. A moment later the door to the house opened and it took a few minutes for Naruto to see it open and enter the house as he was awed watching the blue glow (after all he is a child).
He walked into the house and saw the dust that was spread at the very entrance and knew this place was not stayed in for years. He decided to explore the house and was awed at how awesome this place (the house is similar to the Hyuuga house i.e. Japanese style house) was even though it was dusty.
The house had a lot of rooms as and each and every room was spacious enough to accommodate the entire of his apartment which was given to Naruto by the Sandaime. He had also come across a room which had lot of toys and stuffs which young child would play with. He was really tempted to enter the room and play with those toys at his hearts content as he was never allowed to have them at the orphanage. But the blonde focused himself to the main task to find out the something about the people who lived here long ago.
Finally the blonde came across a room which was clearly the largest of all the rooms he had seen so far in the house no mansion. The room held a giant bed and behind the bed was a really giant frame with a picture of blonde haired male and red haired female as they held each other and were smiling at the camera.
Naruto didn't know what was going on with him as he in what he one could only describe as a trance walked towards the frame. His hands gently traced the two figures in the frame as h himself didn't understand what compiled him to do so.
After what soon looked like an eternity as he kept staring at the two people in the frame he finally broke of the stupor. He had a vague idea of who the blonde haired man was but he had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. His eyes finally landed on the table next to the bed to find a book laid on it. He picked up the book and read its title 'The tale of the gutsy ninja'.
…End of flashback…
Last night was a was a real turmoil in his view as he learned that there was someone other than the Sandaime who believed him but also learned it was a hard road to prove to all he was not the fox but Uzumaki Naruto. He promised himself to work even harder than before to achieve his dreams and also to make his parents, the Sandaime and Iruka proud of him.
Also last night he learned the Kage Bunshin no jutsu while he performed the advanced version of the jutsu trusting hi chakra reserves, the Tajuu Kage Bunshin no jutsu. He had also taken the note of the jutsus which used the similar applications as the Kage Bunshin no jutsu which he had decided to work on later. Finally there was the second jutsu he was learning before Iruka's arrival, he knew the day he would master the jutsu he will have a very powerful jutsu in his arsenal.
…Day 2 – after graduation exams…
Currently Naruto was in the Hokage's office submitting his ninja registration form. Naruto had put on his best ninja attire to look cool in the profile photo. He was currently wearing blue shinobi sandals, dark-blue cargo-shinobi pants with a ninja-belt strapped to it. The upper body consisted of a blue tee-shirt with dark-orange jacket over it with the back of the jacket having the Uzumaki spiral in dark red color. The hitai-te was tied to his right shoulder and his goggles were missing as the young Uzumaki decided to let his hair loose.
The Sandaime couldn't believe the boy in front of him was the same orange jumpsuit wearing Uzumaki Naruto. It was like looking at the past as he recollected young Minato and Kushina sitting there handing him their ninja application forms.
"Well everything in the form looks appropriate", said the hokage examining the registration form.
"It could have looked more awesome if I had applied some face paint", quietly muttered the blonde, but the hokage caught on to the words.
"Face paint?" said a surprised hokage.
"Yes, you know to look more badass; but couldn't get paint to match my outfit", said the blonde with a dejected look.
"Oh! I see", exclaimed the hokage with a big sweat drop.
Before they could continue their conversation, Naruto saw a figure of young boy enter the room to attack the old man yelling on top of his lung about defeating him. If that was not enough, the young boy tripped on his way on his very long scarf. He saw the look on the Hokage's face and knew it was a normal occurrence as he had heard from the old man himself about his grandson's attacks (?) on him.
The entire day than went on him helping the young boy learned his Kage-killer jutsu after the boy made him his boss because he punched the boy even after learning he was the Honorable Grandson. He learned of the reasons the boy whom he came to know as Konohamaru for attacking his grandfather. Than he went on to beat the crap out of the boy's special instructor with his new Super Kage-killing jutsu (Harem no jutsu) and giving a valuable lesson to a young aspiring child.
'I feel like an old man…' he thought as he cried anime tears.
…Day 3 – team selection day…
Naruto arrived at the academy early then all as he occupied a seat near a window in the class. The blonde was daydreaming of competing in a ramen eating contest as the class started to fill with students. As he came out of 'Oh! SO AWESOME DREAM', he noticed the seat next to him was occupied by Uchiha Hitomi and next to her sat her brother Sasuke.
Uchiha Hitomi and her twin brother Uchiha Sasuke were the lone survivors of the Uchiha massacre that happened about five years back. The genocide of the entire clan was carried out by their elder brother Itachi as he wanted to test his powers, was what Naruto had heard some jounin's speaking. After the incident the two were treated as royalties of the village as everyone called them the 'Last Loyal Uchihas' and in his views they got everything on silver, no, gold plates. In the academy almost every girl was a Sasuke-fan while no boy tried to hit on Hitomi as she had he reputation as the ice-princess.
There was only one thought going through the blonde's mind, 'OH! NO. IF…'
As on cue his thoughts were interrupted by a loud cat fight at the door of the class. The two fighters in question were Sakura and Ino as they came up to the seat the trio of hem sitting on.
"Naruto-baka, get up from the seat. I am going to seat next to Sasuke-kun", screeched Sakura.
"Sakura I came here before the teme, so why should I move?" asked Naruto in a calm voice as he really didn't wish to deal with the two especially Sakura today.
"Naruto no baka, how could you ask Sasuke-kun…"said Sakura fuming with rage but was interrupted by Ino.
"Shut it forehead, hey Naruto mind giving me the seat", said Ino (yes Ino is nicer to Naruto.)
"Sure", said Naruto and started to get up.
"What? How could you give Ino-pig your seat?" shouted Sakura.
"Simple; she asked, you ordered", said Naruto to Sakura as it was he obvious.
The class was enjoying the small show as they knew it surely would be more fun as time passed by. Hinata looked at the scene and felt a bit of anger watching the rudeness in Sakura's voice while Hitomi was inwardly laughing, but kept on reading the book in front of her as she had an image to keep. Chouji kept eating his chips; Shikamaru thought it was too troublesome to worry about as he knew the blonde would resolve the matter while Shino agreed with Naruto's reasoning but kept a stoic mask on outside. Kiba and Akamaru were trying to hide their laughter as Sasuke who was brooding thought for a second that it didn't cause him any problem but put aside those thoughts and returned to brooding. Meanwhile Ino was sporting a large grin of her victory while Sakura was seething with rage.
"Oi, Hitomi please can you lift the book of the desk", said the blonde.
Hitomi looked up from the book and saw the blonde sitting on the desk. She took her book of the desk, knowing full well Sasuke was not going to move much. At that very moment a punch flew past Naruto's head which he dodged on instinct but lost his balance because of his awkward position on the bench. He closed his eyes to lessen the pain of the fall. He didn't know why but his mind/heart screamed for him to close his eyes as he was going to be a lot of pain and he decided not to ignore them and closed his eyes.
Naruto's P.O.V.
The pain never came but he heard the whole class gasp as if something very dangerous or stunning had happened. He tried to understand why he couldn't feel the pain from the fall as his mind/heart screamed of. He felt that his hand had grabbed onto something soft but not only his hands but his lips had touched something soft and warm and his tongue had invaded something slimy. To know what it was he opened his eyes to see that his lips were on Hitomi's lips, his tongue had invade her mouth, to put it simply he was locked in a deep kiss with Hitomi and if that wasn't enough his hands were placed on Hitomi's breast.
'Oh I am so in trouble, she is going to beat me like hell… no I am sure she is going to kill me… but still to die finally having my first kiss, no, deep kiss and also getting a feel of those soft mounds… I can die happily…' he thought.
Hitomi's P.O.V.
Hitomi was also in her own thoughts as she was having a kiss, no not just a kiss but was having a deep kiss with Uzumaki. She didn't know how but his tongue had gained access in her mouth as she felt their tongues touch each other. But if that wasn't enough his hands were placed on her breasts. She knew it wasn't his fault, but how could she let this go by.
Sasuke's P.O.V.
He was busy brooding when he heard the entire room gasp. He looked up to see the reason of all the gasps but the scene he saw completely shocked him as the dobe – Naruto was kissing his sister. Only one thought rang through he is mind, 'if Hitomi doesn't kill you, I will surely kill you DOBE.'
Hinata's P.O.V.
Hinata was all red in the face as she couldn't understand was she angry or rather embarrassed. She knew it wasn't Naruto-kun nor Hitomi's fault as the one to blame was Sakura but seeing Naruto-kun kissing another girl was making Hinata furious and also embarrassed.
Normal P.O.V.
'Troublesome', thought Shikamaru seeing what had happened while Chouji had his mouth wide open and the bag of chips had fallen to the ground. Shino had his eyebrows raised over the glasses while Kiba was first dumbstruck at first, but when he came out of his stupor, he muttered, "lucky bastard", getting a positive bark from Akamaru (though nicknamed ice-princess – Hitomi was still famous and good looking). Ino couldn't understand what she was to think but felt a bit embarrassed watching them while Sakura was dumbstruck as it was her fault after all.
Naruto could clearly see the shock in the eyes of Hitomi and vice versa as he slowly was pulling out of the kiss. But his male nature took over at a time like this as his hands gave a gentle squeeze to Hitomi's breasts. His eyes met with Hitomi's eyes as he saw pure rage in those two black orbs.
'I am so dead', thought Naruto.
Meanwhile Hitomi was thinking to let it slide knowing it was not the fault of the blonde , she felt Naruto's hand squeeze her. She was now seething with rage. Only one thought rang though he mind, 'you are so dead, UZUMAKI.'
After 15 minutes we find a battered and bruised Naruto with Hitomi standing over him with her fist clenched in a punch. After that she went and took her seat as Naruto somehow got himself in a seat in back of the room.
5 minutes later Iruka entered the classroom which was filled with all of the graduates to be selected in their team. His eyes searched for Naruto but when he found the blonde in back of the class he looked as if he was badly beaten.
"Now someone mind telling me as to what happened to Naruto?" inquired Iruka as he seemed a bit worried.
"Nothing happened, Iruka-sensei", said Hitomi in a cold voice but Iruka saw a small tinge of pink on her cheeks.
"RIGHT Uzumaki?" Hitomi asked looking at the blonde with a menacing glare.
"Y… Yes… nothing happened… got my self hurt… while training", stuttered Naruto which surprised Iruka.
Iruka knew something had happened between Hitomi and Naruto as he looked at their small change in behaviour also the entire class would once in a while glance at the two. But at the moment he had more important matters to take care of so he let it slide for now. He took a roll call of all graduates to see if all were present for the most important day of their life. After knowing all to be present, Iruka gave a long speech about the life a shinobi and how the village expected great things from all of them. He then started announcing the teams that were formed and names of the jounin sensei of each team (no one knows who are members of team 1 to team 6 and no one cares).
"Now team 7 consists of Hanuro Sakura, Uchiha Hitomi, Uchiha Sasuke…" said Iruka when he heard a loud scream of joy and a bang on the table.
"True love wins. Take that Ino-pig", screeched Sakura.
"Now let me continue Sakura. As I was saying team 7 consists of Hanuro Sakura, Uchiha Hitomi, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, your jounin sensei will be Hatake Kakashi", said Iruka.
"Iruka-sensei isn't a team made up of 3 genins and 1 jounin?" asked Hitomi, which was the thought going through most of the students mind.
"Yes… but you see Hitomi as the class compromises of 31 graduates, either one student was to wait for next year's batch or a spot in one of the existing teams. Hokage-sama thought it would be unfair to a student who wouldn't be selected after all his hard wok. That is why there is an odd team formed this year", explained Iruka.
"I understand what you mean Iruka-sensei and I don't mind being part of a 5 man squad but why it has to be team 7", said blonde sounding a bit irritated.
"What do you mean Naruto?" asked a confused Iruka.
"I don't have a problem of being on a team with Hitomi and Sakura, but I know one thing for sure Sakura hates me. As for Sasuke-teme, I know he has a pole stuck in his back but still he doesn't get along with anyone other than his sister, but we two get along the worst", said the blonde making a face saying 'you-know-it'.
There was an uproar in the class at what the blonde said about Sasuke as the boys roared out in laughter of which Kiba was the loudest while the girls (Sasuke-fan-club – almost all girls) screeched as how could the dobe say something to their Sasuke-kun. The only girls not shouting were Hinata and Hitomi as Hinata was tying hard to hold back her laughter while Hitomi couldn't understand either to laugh or be angry at the blondes comment. She knew what he said was right as she was trying to improve her brothers attitude for long now but he was also in a way insulting her bother.
As for Sasuke he didn't care what others thought about him but still a scowl left his mouth hearing the blonde's words. But he also agreed with the blonde that they both never got together on anything and the more members on the team the more hindrance for him to achieve his goals.
Finally after calming down the class with his 'Ōgaku no jutsu (Big forehead technique)' Iruka spoke, "I wasn't the one who made the teams, it was Hokage-sama. Now continuing forward team 8 consists …" (they are the same team formations so no use to write).
…3 hours later…
It had been 3 hours since lunch break after team announcements as the 4 members of team 7 were currently sitting in the classroom waiting for their jounin-sensei. The other teams were already picked up by their respective jounins and had left, even Iruka had left. Sasuke was busy brooding as Hitomi was sitting next to him and reading some novel. Sakura had already given up on her attempt to ask Sasuke for a date (for now) and was busy looking at her self in her mirror while Naruto was reading a book on sealing arts. It was first time in his life that Naruto was feeling irritated even though he was reading a book on Fuinjutsu.
"WHATS UP WITH OUR JOUNIN-SENSEI", shouted the blonde startling the other occupants of the room.
"Dobe have some patience", said Sasuke.
"PATIENCE, teme, I had it for the past three hour", said Naruto. Naruto went up to the door and unsealed some stuffs from a scroll.
"What are you doing Naruto-baka?" asked Sakura.
"Simple I am going to show him what happens to those who irritate me for something so stupid. He is going to be a victim of one of my pranks -ttatebayo", said Naruto with an evil smirk which caused Sakura to shiver a bit.
"He is a jounin dobe, he won't fall for your stupid pranks", said Sasuke.
"Yes I know, but still worth a try", said Naruto still with the evil smirk on his face.
"You are an idiot even to think of doing it", said Hitomi at which the blonde looked at her direction his face had the biggest grin she had ever seen which caused her heart to skip a beat.
'What is wrong with me?' she thought.
…30 minutes later…
Hatake Kakashi was walking the corridors of the academy that led to the room where his team would be waiting for him. Today he was later than usual to pick his team as he had spend more time at the memorial stone because of the very team he was asked to take this year.
Finally he reached the room as he entered the class room opening the door intent to see the annoyance on the face of those fresh academy graduates. But the moment he opened the door a number of things happened one after another. First he was drenched in some sticky liquid, than feathers came out of no where and stuck to him and than an explosion above him sprayed a pink colored dust all over him.
After all the bombardment on him was over, Kakashi found Naruto was rolling on the floor laughing hard along with saying something like pink birdie. He looked at his other students to find a confused Sakura, a brooding Sasuke and surprisingly a giggling ice-princess Hitomi.
"Are you Hatake Kakashi, our jounin sensei?" asked Naruto.
"Yes that I am, and you must be team 7", said Kakashi. The four nodded to him.
Naruto was happy that he got the right guy. 'Serves him right', was his thoughts.
'Is he even a jounin…' was Sasuke thinking after seeing the said man fall for such a stupid prank.
"Sorry sensei, I told Naruto-baka to stop", apologized Sakura to Kakashi, but inner Sakura was shouting, 'CHA! That's what you deserve to be late.'
'That actually worked and to make him look like a pink-bird' thought a surprised Hitomi as she was still giggling.
"My first impression of all of you… I hate you guys. Now meet me on the roof in 10 minutes", said Kakashi in a bored expression to which the 4 face faulted at his words and attitude.
…10 minutes later, on the roof top…
Kakashi was sitting by the railing while the genins were sitting in front of him. Kakashi was sitting there completely clean as if nothing had happened 10 minutes earlier.
"Now, we should start with the introductions", said Kakashi.
"What do you mean by introductions, Kakashi-sensei?" asked Sakura.
'Did she just ask that', were the thoughts of all other 4.
"Well you know your likes, dislike, hobbies and dreams and stuff like that", said Kakashi.
"Why don't you start first Kakashi-sensei", said Hitomi.
"Ok." (I am not writing the introductions of Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke, they go as in the manga.)
Hitomi was a bit saddened by Sasuke's introduction as he was still determined to avenge the clan. She couldn't say anything against him on the matter as she too hated her brother for everything he did that night. She only knew it was Itachi her brother who killed all of the clan even their parents. Sasuke was the one who he had seen Itachi's acts of the night when he was put under the Tsukuyomi genjutsu.
'So teme wishes to kill his brother…' thought Naruto.
Kakashi pointed at Hitomi to introduce her self as he had already foreseen the types of introduction of Sakura and Sasuke. He was more curious about the introduction of Hitomi as he heard that she was not bent on revenge as her brother also how the blonde had grown as he until now had neglected his existence.
Hitomi came out of her thoughts and spoke, "I am Uchiha Hitomi. I love spending time with my brother, reading novels and training. I dislike perverts, people who don't take their ninja life seriously; especially girls who give kunoichis a bad reputation. My hobby is reading. My dream is to become a great kunoichi making the Uchiha clan and my parents proud of me and also to one day meet him…"
'She is indeed the reincarnation of the ice-queen Kurenai… Ice-princess they call her…' thought Kakashi slightly amused.
Sasuke nodded in agreement as he knew her like and dislikes after all siblings while Sakura was thinking along the lines as how cool both the Uchiha siblings were completely missing one thing hated the most – fan girl kunoichi.
'Typical of the ice-princess' thought Naruto.
'So it is as I heard that she is not focused on revenge as her bother but still there is a chance…', thought Kakashi as he pointed at Naruto to speak.
"I am Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen, especially the ramen at Ichiraku ramen stand and training. I dislike the 3 minutes it takes for ramen to be ready…"said Naruto.
'Does he always think about ramen", were the thoughts of other 4.
"And my dream is TO BE THE GREATEST HOKAGE, SURPASSING EVEN THE YONDDAIME", shouted the blonde standing up and pointing towards the hokage monument.
'A fools dream Uzumaki, but you are a fool after all' thought Hitomi.
"Hn…" grunted Sasuke.
'Naruto', thought Sakura. 'Cha! He is tying to act cool to make Sasuke-kun look bad', said inner-Sakura. 'Yes that's how it is.'
'His grown in an interesting way' thought Kakashi.
"Very good and your hobbies", asked Kakashi.
"Eating new types of ramen, pranks", said the blonde as it was supposed to be obvious.
'So I got a fan girl, an avenger, an ice-princess who is unsure about the biggest decision of her life and a ramen addict with a big goal' thought Kakashi.
"Now I would like to tell you that none of you are genin yet", said Kakashi.
"What do you mean sensei?" asked Hitomi.
"Yes we already passed the test", said Sakura.
"Well the academy tests were to determine who were capable of being genins. Tomorrow I will give you a survival training test to see are you genin material or not. Remember well out of all the teams, your chances of passing are only 33%", said Kakashi at which the genins paled. Kakashi continued, "Oh! And I suggest you don't eat before coming to the test or you might throw up. Meet you at 0700 hours at training ground 7."
Kakashi left by use of Shunshin no jutsu. The four genins left for their homes thinking of passing the tests for personal reasons.
END CHAPTER.
To note;
Hitomi is a carbon copy of her mother, a mini Mikoto. Her hair is long, reaching up to stomach area which is held by a single ponytail. She wears a bluish-gray top (no it is does not hug her skin), it has the Uchiha symbol on the back. The lower boy consists of black tights and above a dusty red colored skirt. She is termed as the ice-princess in the academy.
As for the girls I asked you to suggest for the harem, please be reasonable in suggesting. Don't go asking me to pair Naruto with a girl to old for him. I won't be reducing the ages of anyone else other than Yuugao.
