A/N: Hello guys, forgive me for the delay, but now we're back and better than before, if any one would like to be my beta, give me a heads up id really appreciate it, so with out further ado, lets get started with the tale of a lazy ninja…
'yo' 'yo' –thoughts
"Yo" "Yo" – speech
Bone style-zero movement – jutsu
Chapter 2 – the bone, the solver and the lazy.
Our story continues with our hero, calmly eating his eighteenth bowl of ramen, paying his surrogate father, Teuchi Ichiraku "Thanks Oji-san, I appreciate it" Naruto spoke to the hold man with a constant grin that seemed tired "Hey I know its not really good to ask…but you know anywhere that sells good sake?" He asked to which a teenage girl glared at him.
"Oh no you don't Naruto, you're too young to drink" The girl yelled at him, making him pout slightly raising his hands above his head
"Alright alright nee-chan, I won't drink…"he looks away "Well thanks anyway ,I gotta get to the academy" He winks before disappearing into nothing, landing into the bathroom, checking his clothing again, wearing a black hoodie with orange fur on the rim of the hood with the Uzumaki crest on the back, as well as a red scarf, having a black pair of ANBU pants and a pair of black shinobi sandals, he finally decide to walk inside putting his hood on and lifting his scarf over his face, like a face mask, entering class the only distinguishable trait he had was his blue eyes.
Naruto walked his way up to the back of the classroom, receiving many looks ranging from confusion to intrigue, no one knew this masked stranger, they only knew that he was from the hidden leaf village, but it felt odd, Naruto's head band held this commanding look, almost threatening.
A pair of screeches were heard knocking Naruto out of his trance, looking at the door, two girls came out of it yelling.
"HAH LOOKS LIKE I MADE IT FIRST INO-PIG, THAT SEAT WITH SASUKE-KUN IS MINE!" Yelled the girl with pink hair, this was Sakura Haruno.
"Yeah right Billboard brow! I got here first" the platinum blonde argued.
Naruto decided he had enough and decided to speak up slightly bothered "Do you two really not have anything to do with your lives?" this got both girls glared at him only to paralyze in fear, cause they didn't see a boy, but a murderer, everyone in the room felt they're breathing stop, including the boy brooding in the corner, but it let up just as quick as it started. "Nah its too much wasted effort to have you bother me like that" Naruto said, laying back while the girls were terrified, however, Ino was intrigued as to who the boy was, so she strode up to him about to speak but he interrupted her "Don't even think about it Ino"
The girl stuttered looking at the boy" And what shouldn't I think about doing mister…"
He looked at her" Call me Bones…" He lowered his head looking tiredly at the front keeping his hood over his head, looking up front, tuning out everyone and looking ahead.
"And team 7 is…Sasuke Uchiha…Sakura Haruno…and Kiba Inuzuka" Naruto could hear three different things, a grunt, a screech about how love prevails and a growl about black haired bastards "And your sensei is Hatake Kakashi, team 8 is…Shino aburame." A boy with a long trench coat nodded. "Hinata Hyuga" a girl with a hime cut tapped her fingers together "And Choji Akimichi, your sensei is Yuhi Kurenai, team 9 is still in circulation so team 10 is Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka and Naruto Uzumaki, your sensei is Sarutobi Asuma" at the last name mentioned everyone seemed confused.
"Um sensei, how can Naru-Baka be on a team if he didn't even pass" Asked Haruno, she seemed confused at how the dead last she wish she had gotten rid of on a team.
"Well Sakura he was placed as a genin for misleading a traitor into a trap, I would say how but its not my place to say, so wait for your senseis and you'll be on your merry way"
There were two people who came in first, on the right was a slender woman with a battle dress that reached to her mid thigh, and to the left we could see a man smoking in the standard jonin attire, the only distinguishable part of him was his tan skin. "Team 8, you're with me." The woman called, the three teens left with her.
"Team10, meet me at training ground seven" Asuma called, both Ino and Shikamaru were about to leave before Naruto(not to there knowledge) grab there wrist, using his special body flicker technique at the training ground.
"So that was an obvious give away…" Naruto spoke, removing his hood showing the blonde everyone knew and sometimes loved with a bored expression and that tired grin again "So I guess I'm the sorta new and not so improved Naruto Uzumaki…"He yawned leaving a perplexed Ino and a knowing Shikamaru.
"Being honest it was kinda obvious" those words caused the Yamanaka to turn around fast enough to snap your neck. "I mean not at first…but when Iruka-sensei said your name and no one was wearing any form of orange, and you were the only one missing so yeah it was only natural." He shrugged while Ino gaped, but it left her with one question.
"Naruto, how did you get so scary?" She asked, looking at Naruto with answers, and he answered with a single word…or text…or hand signs? "Naruto, I'm going to say this once…what the hell is this?!"
"Wing Dings…solve the code and you'll know" Naruto said with a yawn, resting against a tree "Hey Shikamaru, can you tell me what you see through these?" Naruto handed a pair of binoculars, he saw the clouds and shrugged.
"Just clouds Naruto" was his short answer, he handed the binoculars back, Naruto had a smile while Ino was holding back a laugh. "What?" he asked, and moments later Asuma came to view.
"Oh, Shikamaru, I didn't know you wore make up" Those words scared Shikamaru, he ran to the river growling.
"NARUTO!" He yelled while the blond snickered "I'll get you back for this!"
"1 down, two to go" the blonde smirked "So are introductions necessary?" Asuma nodded as Shikamaru returns after washing his face. "Well I guess I'll start… Names Naruto Uzumaki, I Like Ramen, puns, pranks and making friends, I don't like Arrogant people, traitors and snakes, my hobby is making pranks and escaping the ANBU after doing said pranks, my dream is…to become Hokage…not for acknowledgement but to give those that are treated like outcast some hope…" he said while holding his hands together, the others gave a nod while Ino muttered something about acting cool like Sasuke-kun.
"Well this is too troublesome…fine, I'm Shikamaru Nara, I like cloud watching, playing shogi and taking care of the deer…my dislikes are anything that is troublesome, my hobby…well they are also my likes, my dream is to live an average life, marry an average woman, have two kids, a boy and a girl, the boy will be a successful Shinobi and my daughter will marry one,then when I retire I'll play my days away with shogi and die before my wife" Ino and Naruto dead panned at him and sighed.
"Now its my turn! My name is Ino Yamanaka, the things I like are flowers, fashion and gossip! My dislikes are Forehead and mysteries, my hobbies are reading about botany and gossip, my dream is to be the best yamanaka clan head ever." She yelled happily.
Asuma took his time evaluating the team and came to a conclusion, but first. "How would you restrain an enemy, that's lets say..Jonin level…" This question seemed to throw off the three ninja and after a bit, Shikamaru decided to speak up.
"Well, I'd go with out smarting him into a large shadow and eliminating his movement, though that can only go for so long" he yawned and looked at both Naruto and Ino, then she spoke up.
"Well I could use my mind transfer jutsu and keep him steady, and I don't have to worry about chakra…much." She scratched her head chuckling a bit
"But you fail to realize that you'd have to rely on your teammate to protect you if he called for back up…But I have an idea too…it's a jutsu of mine, it's called Zero Movement its effect is at it implies the name, though not one hundred percent…you see,I use bones for this jutsu to work, not your own but bones that I can make appear out of nowhere, forcing him to either stand still or get an uncurable poison stuck inside of him" Spoke naruto calmly with a dark smile, chuckling a bit he lifted his head "Or at least that's what its supposed to do."
"Well now I'm positive, this is the Assault/Capture squad" Asuma grinned while his smoke fell to the floor, with a nod Naruto stood up. "I expect you to be by the hokage tower early in the morning" the students nodded and left to do there activities.
With Naruto…
"Hey is the Hokage free at the moment?" the secretary looked at Naruto and nodded, muttering something about a demon, whatever it was Naruto tuned it out. "Oi, Jiji" Naruto called calmly, looking at the current Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Ah, Naruto-Kun, what can I do for you?" The old and empathetic professor spoke with a smile.
"…I didn't know we had guest…" Naruto looked towered the book case, he glared at it, both of his eyes had a sudden change,the sclera was entirely black with a red pupil in one eye and a blue one in the other, quickly a skeletal hand raised from the ground holding the person in place. "I thought the ROOT ANBU disbanded…no that's not right they are under someone's rule…but its not yours eh Jiji…" Naruto spoke, holding the ninja still, Hiruzen snarled and sighed "Should I kill them?" he simply asked, Hiruzen frowned and shook his head negetivly, hearing a small crunch, the hand dissipated into dust, leaving the unconscious ROOT there, close a window the Hokage put up a privacy seal.
As soon as he sat down, the Sandaime cleared his throat and allowed Naruto the word. "…I know who my parents are Jiji…" the Sadaime paused for a bit and sighed looking down in shame. "Now don't get mopy on me,if I was pissed I would've showed you a bad time… all I want are their notes and fighting styles, in exchange I'll tell you the trade secret to defeating paper work." The next action startled everyone in the room, twas Hiruzen grabbing Naruto by the shoulders and shaking him violently.
"REALLY, YOU'LL TELL ME!" The Sandaime roared, Naruto gave a simple nod. "Only for the notes of your parents." Naruto again nodded. "But that begs the question…how did you know?"
"Well…"
FLASH BACK
"Yo Anko-nee" Spoke Naruto to one of the Jonins that enjoyed his company, Mitarashi Anko. "Did you or do you know any 'Uzumaki' that lives or used to live here?"
"Hmm…"The snake mistress had her hand on her chin. "There was this one Uzumaki, beautiful girl, beautiful woman, she was the best sensei I could ask for at the time I returned, her name was Kushina Uzumaki…she was pregnant at the time she retired" Naruto nodded.
"Was she particularly close to anybody,or did ,you know, the boyfriend that knocked her up?" he asked with a hunch.
"Hmm…she was very close to the Yondaime…hell I could say they were dating even" She laughed as she ate her dango "But that's imposs…" Anko looked at Naruto with wide eyes while he made the sign for silence, walking away with a wave
"Thanks Anko-nee"
"I told you to call me Anko-chan!" Naruto laughed as he parted ways with the jonin.
FLASH BACK END
"And that's how Anko-chan discovered and I had a hunch that well, Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze were my parents…and that they sealed the nine tails into me with the trust that I could be strong enough to defend the village, and I hope I have your trust with that as well Hokage-sama" Naruto said with determination burning in his eyes, so strong one would be weary if it were true determination or blind recklessness.
"You do Naruto-kun, now…I assume you know what to do?"Hiruzen glanced at the portrait of the fourth hokage, a blonde man with blue eyes that Naruto could pass off as him for a day. Naruto reached and removed the portrait, seeing a seal array ,he drew some blood off of his thumb and dragged it onto the seal, using his chakra to unlock it, and with in that sealing array was lot of items, three hitai-ate ,the Yondaime's Jacket, two letters, a few keys, a box of scrolls and a small portrait of them with Kushina pregnant. "So now…let me seal those up so you can take them to your apartment, the reason im not giving you there house behind the mountain is because of the suspicion that will rise" Naruto nodded as he sealed everything up "Now,a little secret is in order…" Hiruzen smiled as Naruto came closer and whispered a few words and left his side "Thank you Naruto you may leave" with that out of the way, Naruto bowed and left the office bumping into someone.
"Forgive me old man…" Naruto spoke only to be glared down at the boy with a cold gaze.
"I am Danzo-sama and you will refer to me as such" He growled at the young Uzumaki to which he dead panned.
"Don't worry,I know who you are, and scum like you should've died with the war" Naruto placed his hands in his jacket "And next time you send your ninja, I'll send them to you in a body bag…" he left him to his thoughts as he disappeared with his body flicker.
'That boy will be a problem…' he mumbled as he entered the Hokage office "Hiruzen" he looks over at the unconscious body with indifference.
"Care to explain something friend, or is it something else…" Hiruzen spoke eerily calm as he sat down, removing the mask of said ROOT ANBU, a young boy with extremely pale skin,and jet black hair laid down adorn the young mans face. "I wonder whats this boy's name and who sent him…must've been a very good ninja if it escaped my ANBU" The Sandaime sat down holding the boy up with a glare.
Danzo however kept his face indifferent, though in his thoughts, he was seething,a child, a demon manages to stop his plans for information and threatens him. "Hiruzen I'm here to talk talk about that child" He spoke with some venom in his speech, causing the sandaime to glare furiously.
"Danzo I have already told you that I will not give you Naruto-kun, he is no longer a civilian, or to put it in Naruto's term… 'Its not your damn buisness'" Spoke the third Hokage standing up "Good day Danzo" Hiruzen spoke when Danzo was going to interject Hiruzen yelled "I said good day!" Danzo was escorted out by the ANBU he snarls.
" Damn you demon, don't worry…I'll get my hands on you and use you to be the leader of this weakened village…" the old man growled,not realizing that the secretary heard everything…that was only going to lead to one major problem….GOSSSSSSIP!
Now whats gonna happen now that Naruto has been assigned a team, will he show that he is the best or will he train in secret, find out next chapter of the tale of the lazy ninja.
