Okay everybody chapter 2 is now up and running, I've decided that Naruto is going to date Hinata soon, if you don't like it send me your comments and I will personally disregard your opinion.
Onward with the story!
Naruto smiled as Iruka handed him the headband and headed back to his seat, noticing sauke's jealous look. Smiling he took his seat next to Sasuke and stared at him. Sasuke stared back. "Is there a reason you're staring at me or are you gay like most of us suspect?"
That shocked Sasuke, the stoic look on his face crumbled and gave way to shock, his eyes somewhat bulging. "You guys think I'm gay?" he shouted to the class. All the guys nodded there heads while the girls screamed that there was no way that their Sasuke-kun could be gay.
Naruto continued, "I mean yeah of course they think you're gay, I mean you're always running away from all those fangirls, what other possible reason is there?"
For the first time since Naruto had met him he saw him shudder, "You have no idea, all they want is sex, they think that sneaking into my room and stealing my clothes and cutting off pieces of my hair to show to there friends is a way to show that they love me. Every day they follow me home, I have to henge every time i walk home to avoid bieng followed."
Naruto shuddered, that would be so bad.
But in an instant Sasuke reverted back to his cold exterior, and Naruto saw jealousy flashing in his eyes.
"Alright everyone tomorow you will meet with your jonin instructors and will be assigned into three man cells." he paused for a second and yelled in his patented big head jutsu "NOW GO HOME!"
Naruto simply stood from his seat and walked home.
Naruto wandered the streets, trying to buy some time before he went back to that hellhole he called his apartment. He looked to the west for a moment, saw the sun setting and decided it was time to head home.
As he walked home Naruto noticed a chakra signature following him, it was muffled and he couldn't determine who it was following him, but nkew from experience that it was a ninja trying to cover their chakra signature.
"Well Sauke do you want to explain why you're following me home." he asked without turning around.
If Sasuke was shocked that Naruto knew he was following he didn't show it as he jumped down from the building he was on and landed in front.
He stared at the blonde for a minute before speaking.
"You don't deserve that power." he said with a scowl "I need that power to kill my older brother and avenge my clan."
Naruto frowned.
"Now why is it that everything you say pisses me off?" he asked with a genuine look of confusion on his face, he began tapping the fronts of his sandals on the ground. "Well whatever, if it's a fight you want then that something I'm more than willing to do."
Sasuke said nothing, simply slipping into his family's taijutsu stance.
Naruto scoffed "You really think that pathetic clan taijutsu can defeat me," Naruto shook his head "whatever man it's your funeral."
Naruto shot at Sasuke without warning, throwing at punch at his head that Sasuke quickly dodged before countering with his own punch. Naruto knocked the punch away with his arm and kneed his in the gut. Sasuke doubled over, breathless.
'How could this dobe get so much better than me, he's the dead last!'
Naruto simply took a few steps back and waited for Sasuke to regain his breath.
"Sasuke stop, you'll only get beaten."
Sasuke got even madder and charged at Naruto.
"I see," said Naruto sighing "I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but if you won't listen to reason I'll just have to beat it into you!" Naruto disappeared for a second, reapearing in front of Sasuke before shouting "I'll stop you even if I have to break your arms and legs!"
Sasuke threw a punch at Naruto, only for Naruto to dodge it with ease, he brought his knee up to catch Naruto in his gut but Naruto's knee came up and blocked his. Sasuke threw a kick with his right leg but Naruto's arm caught it and pinned it to his side. Sasuke brought his left leg up in a kick, making his body completely parallel to the ground.
Sasuke swung his leg at Naruto's shoulder, hoping to shatter his collarbone.
Naruto blocked Sasuke's kick with his forearm, knocking Sasuke off balance. He quickly released Sasuke's leg and jumped backwards before Sasuke could launch another counterattack. Sasuke managed to righten himself in midair and landed lightly on feet.
Sasuke ran at Naruto once more, trying again to defeat the blonde.
Naruto simply looked down, his eyes hidden by his blonde hair. "fine," he said slowly "then let's finish this!" he shouted, looking up, his blue eyes shone with determination as he looked at Sasuke. Sasuke tried to kick Naruto in the head with a spin kick, only to have it blocked by Naruto's arm. Naruto punched Sasuke in the chest, sending the avenger back a few feet.
Naruto charged at Sasuke and puched him three times in the chest before bringing his right leg up in a spin kick that caught Sasuke in the chin. Naruto pivoted on his left foot, bringing his right foot down lower to cut Sasuke's legs out from under him. As Sasuke was in the air Naruto palm-heeled him in the chin, knocking him straight up into the air.
As Sasuke's body was parallel to the ground Naruto jumped into the air after him, kneeing him in the back so Sasuke was bent over Naruto's knee. Naruto back-flipped over Sasuke and delivered a crescent kick to his gut, sending him slamming into the ground. Naruto fell to the ground and landed next to the Sasuke shaped crater in the ground.
Smiling he looked down at Sasuke, "That 's my new technique Hurricane kick." leaning down he reach out his hand to help Sasuke up only to have Sasuke knock it away.
"There's no way I could have lost!" shouted Sasuke as he struggled to stand. "Has all my training been for nothing!" he glared at the ground. "how can I hope beat my brother if I'm this weak?" he asked softly. "Damn it!" shouted and walked away.
Naruto watched Sasuke walk away with an impassive face, only his eyes showed that he was truly sad. Naruto turned and walked away to his apartment. If Sasuke had chosen to look back he would have seen the blonde drag a hand across his eyes.
Naruto's apartment
As Naruto sat on his bed he thought about Sasuke's problem.
'To only want one thing in life, but to lack the power to accomplish it' he thought somberly.
He rolled over in his bed and fell asleep, his mind still troubled."
As Naruto sat up in bed he felt that something was different.He turned so that his legs were hanging off the yelped as they touched the cold floor.
He stood up noticing that he was at least 6 inches taller than he had been the day before. And most uncomfortably of all, that none of his clothes fit.
'Kyuubi what's going on'
'Uh, well, you'd better just go look in the mirror' Naruto was nervous, Kyuubi had sounded almost... scared. He shook his head, nothing could scare Kyuubi, he was the king of Hell.
He went to the mirror and what he saw made his jaw drop. He had gained 7' inches, making him 5'7, lost all traces of baby fat, making his face look more defined, almost regal. He now had a six pack and was much stronger than he could ever remember being before.
But on top of his head were to silver fox ears, his hair was now shot with streaks of silver, but swishing behind him was a silver fox tail.
'Kyuubi...," he thought slowly 'WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME!"
"Well, I guess when you absorbed my reiatsu it kinda provided a kick to your system and made you grow a lot faster than normal, as for the fox tail and ears, I guess that's because, well cause I'm a fox."
Naruto's breathing slowed back to a normal pace, "Okay, I'll just hide them with a henge. Naruto put his hands in a ram seal, "Henge!" there was a poof of smoke and the fox ears and tail were gone, "Okay, now all I need is a pair of clothes that fit. Naruto felt his hands move on their own, his body calling out the seals as he made them, "usagi, ryu, tori, hebi, hitsuji!"
There was a poof of smoke in front of him and a set of clothes appeared in front of him. a voice whispered in his head "just for the record I can do that whenever I want."
Naruto quickly checked out the clothes before putting each piece of clothing on.
Black shinobi pants with multiple pockets, the pockets had blank scrolls in them that had medical tape at the bottom .there wereblack combat boots, steel toed,with slots in the sides to hold kunai. the was a red shirt that showed off his new muscles, and over top of all that there was a black trechcoat. Naruto quickly slipped on the clothes but left the trenchcoat at home.
As he jumped over the rooftops on his way to the academy he reflected on his fight against Iruka the day before.
'Should I have really showed them that much of my power?'
"I wouldn't really worry about it kit, what's done is done."
Naruto nodded and moved even faster toward the academy.
at the academy
Naruto walked into the academy and took his seat next to Sasuke, ignoring the glares from the fangrils. He looked at Sasuke, whose wounds had healed up rather quickly. Naruto smiled at Sasuke, and then all hell burst lose. Sasuke smiled back.
Naruto yelled and ran under the desk "Sasuke smiled, it's a sign of the Apocalypse! Everyone, to the bunkers!
Everyone started screaming and running around like chickens with their heads cut off (AN: I hate chickens, those beady little eyes) Iruka burst open the classroom door "Alright everyone sit down and shut up!" Everyone quieted down and went back to their seats.
"Today," he continued "you will be split into your three man teams, your jonin instructors will be arriving shortly so I'll announce the teams now."
Naruto laid his head on the desk, waiting until his name was called, amazingly no one had noticed the changes yet.
"Team seven... Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto raised his head in aknowledgement, Hinata looked at his face and almost fainted, the blush on her cheeks at the moment could make a tomato run away in shame.
"Uchiha Sasuke," Iruka continued, Sasuke merely nodded his head, "and Hyuuga Hinata." Hinata gasped and actually fainted at the news, nobody seemed to notice except Naruto, he smiled faintly and looked back at Iruka.
"Team eight, Auburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba, and," he looked down at the list and visibly cringed, "Haruno Sakura." both Kiba and the normally stoic Shino slammed their heads down on the desks, cursing whatever kami had seen fit to punish them so severely.
There was a giant sneeze that shook the academy building.
Kami
He sneezed again and in a ringing voice exclaimed "I fucking hate flu season."
The academy (3 hours later)
Naruto groaned for probably the third time that hour. "Man this sucks, everyone elses sensei's came to get them two hours ago."
Sasuke nodded.
Hinata was still unconcious.
Naruto glaced over at her before looking back to Sasuke. "Do you think we should do something about her?" he asked, jerking his head toward Hinata. Sasuke shook his head, "Just leave her there."
Naruto just shrugged his shoulders and put his head back onto the desk.
Suddenly the door opened and a silver haired jonin stuck his head inside, "You guys Team Seven?" he asked. Naruto and Sasuke just nodded. "Roof, five minutes." Naruto sighed. With a grin at Sasuke he slung Hinata over his shoulder and shushined (sp?) to the roof. Leave poor emo Sasuke to walk to the roof all by himself.
On the roof
Naruto appeared on the roof in a swirl of leaves and set Hinata on the bench next to him and tried to wake her up. He tried shaking her, he tried shouting at her, hell he even pour water on her. Finally in a fit of desperation he said, making his voice high in terror, "Hinata help me, the evil pink hair bitch is trying to rape me!"
Hinata sat bolt upright, instantly awake, with her byakugan blazing in a complte jyuken stance. "Stupid banshee stay away from Naruto!" she shouted, only to find that there was no one else on the roof except for her and Naruto.
She cocked her head to the side in confusion, but before she could ask a question naruto answered her.
"Well I couldn't find any other way to wake you up so I sorta had to make something up." he said, chuckling nervously and scratching the back of his head with his hand.
Hinata sat upright and nodded.
Sasuke opened the door and stepped out onto the roof, squinting at the sudden sunlight.
He walked and took his seat next to Naruto and waited for their sensei to appear. Kakashi appeared in a swirl of leaves, much like naruto had. With his trademark eyes smile he said, "I'm bored come here tommorow around noon. Ja ne." Before either Naruto or Sasuke could stop him he disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
Naruto shook his head slowly "Do you mean to tell me that we waited three hours for this guy, and then he just up and leaves."
Sasuke nodded slowly.
Naruto erupted in a fit of cussing that made Hinata turn pink and put her hand over her mouth in astonishment at some of the words he used.
Naruto slammed his fist into the wall and for a second nothing happened, then the entire wall crumbled away under the force of his blow. "Screw this, I'm leaving." he disappeared in another swirl of leaves, leaving Hinata and Sasuke to wonder where he had gone.
Training gound 7
Naruto pummeled at the targets he had set up with a rain of blows that shook the earth that the posts were slammed into. with a final heavy kick he snapped the 3 foot thick post he'd tied the dummy to and sent it skidding across the training ground Why was he so angry, he didn't understand it.
"I can answer that kit" rang the Kyuubi's voice in his head "while our minds and body are connected our emotions are as well, I am angry at that man as well, and so it affects your anger as well.
Naruto now nodded understanding his anger now. he focused his anger into a point and used it to make himself stronger, felt it draining away as he pummeled dummy after dummy. He finished off a taining dummy with a rotating palm shock to the chest stopped. feeling a familiar chakra signature behind him he turned around and asked.
"Hinata, what are you doing here?"
Hinata stepped out from behind the tree she was hiding behind and stood in front of Naruto, fidgeting her fingers. Frowning he took her hands and put by her sides. her put his finger on her chin and pushed her up so that she locked eyes with him. He smiled, "That's much better." he said.
"Now," he said stepping back "Why are you here."
"You seemed to be in a bad mood so I decided to come after you." she stuttered out. Naruto frowned, she had a serious confidence problem, he would have to help remedy that. Once she had seen him frown she started stammering out apoligies, thinking that she had done something to offend him.
Naruto held up a hand to stop her stammering. He gave her a warm smile and held out his hand to her. "Hinata, would you like to train with me?" Hinata nodded, unable to speak at the thought that Naruto would ask her to train with him.
"Hinata, the best way to determine what I need to teach you is to figure out what you already know so, I want you to attack me." Hinata nodded shakily and ran to attack him, he dodged he first few strikes easily and could tell that her heart just wasn't into attacking him. He grabbed her hand as she attacked and set it by her side.
"Hinata," she squeezed her eyes closed and braced herself for the hit to come, the hit that always came when she didn't do something right. But the hit didn't come. She opened her eyes to find Naruto face to face with her with a look of concern on his face. "Hinata are you all right?"
Hinata was suprised "You aren't going to hit me?" Naruto's eyes widened and he asked in confusion, "Hit you, why would I do something like that."
Hinata shook her head in confusion, "But I failed." she couldn't understand.
Naruto's eyes narrowed, this girl had been badly mistreated. "Hinata," he said softly, causing her to open her eyes "I would never hit you, not ever." he straightened out to normal height and began again. "Come at me and fight." Hinata ran forward again, this time with more conviction in her eyes and Naruto was hard pressed to dodge many of her strikes.
He held up his hand, his assesment done. "Your style of jyuken is far different from any other style I have seen before and I'm hard pressed to figure out something that would help you."
"What are you talking about, there's only one style of jyuken."
Naruto shook his head, "There is one style but everyone uses it differently, it's the same style but everyone adapts it to their own style of fighting." He saw her nod and continued. "your style involves quick strike to vital body parts before spinning away and stirking at another section of the body. Your style appears to be the most effective style I have ever seen. Yours allows you strike multiple vunerable points all over your opponents while keeping out of the way of your opponents attacks."
Naruto smiled "That's why there only one technique that I can think of right now that would compliment your style, it's called the chakra scalpel. It's an incredibly damaging ability when used in conjunction with the jyuken, the chakra scalpel cut through the inside organs without rupturing the skin outside the body. coupled with the jyuken already striking vital points it would do massive damage to your enemy's internal organs."
Hinata was in shock, she would never have thought of combining the chakra scalpel with the jyuken stance, what was more impressive was that no one else had either.
"Now, prepare yourself, if you can land five hits on me then I'll teach it to you." he said slipping into a fighting stance. He would teach it to her even if she couldn't but she didn't need to know that yet.
And finally Hinata came at him with the intent to kill.
