So anyway, I know I didn't inspire any witty banter last time, but hey, It's my first published Fanfic. I was so excited about this chapter that I had to release it within less than 24 hours of the first chapter. I think you'll like it.

Chapter 2

Hanzo & Kotaro: Warriors of Bedlam

After Hanzo finished his lunch he meandered over to the village gate. His mother and father were saying their goodbyes to Naruto and several other Konoha residents. Hanzo Crept up on the senior Nins, only being noticed once he was just beyond their circle. Ino was the first to comment.

Ino: Sakura, I thought you told me that you had a son. She's beautiful, and looks just like you.

Hanzo's face grew red with a mix of embarrassment and anger and Sakura stood waving her arms in the background trying to signal to Hanzo not to say anything. Unfortunately it was to no avail. Nothing was going to stop the injured Hanzo from defending his pride. Sasuke knew what was coming, but made no effort to prevent the coming retaliation of his son, simply smirking at the thought of what was to come. Hanzo composed himself and calmly explained.

Hanzo: I am a boy… you old Hag.

Ino's smile lingered for a few moments as Hanzo's comment sunk in. Then very suddenly she snapped having to be held back by her peers.

Ino: You little bastard who do think you are? I don't care if you are Sasuke-kun's kid, I'm still gonna kick your ass! Like mother like D-A-U-G-H-T-E-R!

Hanzo grinned cruelly, he had found her weak spot she was sensitive about her beauty and youth. Now all he had to do was exploit that weakness.

Hanzo: My gender aside, you're just jealous that I'm younger and more beautiful than you are or ever were.

Ino: Whaaaaat!?

Rock Lee and Choji could barely hold her back as she kicked and screamed. She calmed down after Sakura whapped him over the head. The ever childish Ino stuck out her tongue at the freshly scolded youth. Soon the two Uchihas were off back to Otogakure, leaving behind their son for the next year.

In the office of the Rokudaime Naruto began considering what he had seen the day before during the training he had seen. He remembered his own bell test.

Naruto: None of us could have even imagined getting that close to those bells. Perhaps…

Hanzo was out of breath, he still couldn't reach the bells. Closer and closer with each try, however he could never get close enough. Kakashi was too good. His years of experience trumped Hanzo's raw talent any day. Hanzo began performing hand seals but was interrupted by a voice just beyond the horizon.

Voice: Kakashi-sempai!

Hanzo stopped and his left eyebrow arched in query. Kakashi turned in the direction that the voice was coming from.

Kakashi: Naruto can't be serious. He's way out of his league here.

His shock was evident in his voice,

Hanzo: Kakashi-sensei, who is that?

The owner of the voice emerged and entered into the fields of vision of Hanzo and Kakashi, He was a young boy who looked like a certain other fox-boy with whom we should all be familiar. His spiky blond locks had slight tinges of black scattered throughout, unlike Hanzo's solid pink hair, which he wore like his father though his headband was worn in a fashion similar to that of his mother. The blond lad's crimson red jacket with a popped collar and matching red pants proved as the perfect foil for Hanzo's navy blue sleeveless cheongsam with the Uchiha crest emblazoned on the back.

Hanzo: Who's this tool?

Before Kakashi could answer the blond youth was within ear shot and was less than pleased with what he heard.

Kotaro: I'm Uzumaki Kotaro and if you're Uchiha Hanzo, then that makes us partners.

Hanzo was naturally shocked, and Kakashi was obviously upset at what he was hearing as well.

Kakashi: I can't believe this; Naruto must have lost his mind.

Hanzo: N-Naruto! As in the Hokage!?

Kotaro: That's right he's my father. And he wanted me to train with you to sharpen my skills. And I guess that means I have to call you Kakashi-sensei from now on.

Kakashi: I know Naruto thinks he can do anything, but Hanzo is far beyond your skill level, getting beat by such a wide margin won't teach you anything.

Kotaro: Well dad would seem to disagree. So what's today's training?

Hanzo looked at Kakashi his expression asking if this was just a joke, but Kakashi shook his head and began explaining.

The bell training had resumed and Hanzo was in a foul mood. He knew that the training had a new objective now, teamwork. Kakashi had slipped that the first time they had met for this training, but Kotaro disappeared on his own and Hanzo was biding his time, waiting to strike from the shadows. Kagemusha, shadow warrior, which was what he must be. Then he saw Kotaro appear before Kakashi. Hanzo didn't believe what he was seeing, he couldn't be that stupid.

Kotaro: Oi! I'm going to take that bell damn it!

Kakashi laughed and wiped a tear from his eye.

Kakashi: Where have I seen this before?

Hanzo wasn't at all interested in how bad he was about to get beat, but he was torn between helping him so that they may work together, building trust and eventually getting the bells. Or he could let Kotaro get beat so that he could learn his lesson and then Hanzo would help him up and following a short lecture they could pull together and get those damn bells. Kotaro threw shuriken at Kakashi only for them to hit a log. Hanzo knew were Kakashi was, but Kotaro was clueless. The former choice won out.

Hanzo: Kotaro, jump! He's underneath you!

Kotaro leapt to the left, but nothing happened. Kakashi appeared behind Hanzo. He wheeled around, striking at Kakashi with a back fist only to have it blocked. He punched at Kakashi's gut with his free hand but that was blocked as well.

Kakashi: It would seem that you gave away your location in order to save your comrade, while it's commendable the lessons in this for you and him are different. He is a mediocre ninja; he will at best be a Jonin at an average age. You, however, are trying to become an ANBU operative. And your missions are borderline impossible. You will have no one but yourself, and you were just caught.

Hanzo: No Kakashi-sensei you were just caught. You were ours the moment you looked into my eyes. Release!

The Genjutsu he had cast dissipated leaving him tied to one of the three stumps facing Hanzo and Kotaro. Both of whom were holding bells.

Kakashi: So sending Kotaro out to face me like that was a trap, and you gave your position away on purpose? But when, when did you make this plan?

Kotaro: The moment you gave in and decided I would be taking part in this training Hanzo cast a Genjutsu over me with his Sharingan and told me his plan.

An impressed look could be seen in Kakashi's eyes, and he lowered his head.

Kakashi: Good work, it would seem you both learned something important from this lesson. The real training starts tomorrow. For now let's go home and get some rest!

Kotaro and Hanzo began walking off back towards the village leaving Kakashi tied to the stump.

Kakashi: Hey! You two get back here and untie me! Hanzo!!! I Kirr you!

This would not be the last time Hanzo heard this angered Engrish phrase. But for now he was just happy to have his bell, so that he could continue his training and soon become a Jonin.

To Be Continued…

So... Pretty good right. Eh... Eh... Yeah I thought so. Please review. Arigato!
