Alright, and as I said, this will start at the end of the graduation exams, and the only one i'm gonna show dealing with his jutsu will be Naruto, mainly so I can show you how he makes up for jutsu when he doesn't really use them, so here is another chapter
===academy room I don't care which, you pick===
Naruto was staring down Iruka, and the man was waiting for Naruto to do the three jutsu, so Naruto tapped his cane, and fifteen shadows revealed them from no where, and they all began to rise from the floor and stand there, all looking like Naruto, except they all had pure white eyes, and when Naruto opened his eyes, so were they
"15 clones, now the transformation"
The shadows all started to swirl around Naruto, and when they were done, standing there was an exact copy of Jariya, although he was a bit more serious then the one Iruka knew... alright, so the facial expressions needed some work, but all in all, it was perfect
"Now do the replacement"
The shadows swirled around again, and when they were done, Naruto just stood there, and Iruka snapped the ruler on his head, but the ruler went straight through him, and he melted into a shadow
"Swapping places with a shadow? Impressive"
Naruto nodded, excepted the headband, and left, and was greeted by Hinata when he left, or at least tried to leave, if not for Sakura...
"Hey! Naruto! Did you say you did fortune telling?"
Naruto nodded
"Can you do mine?"
And after a shrug, Naruto holds his hand out palm up, as a deck of tarot cards fly into them from his other sleeve, show off
"Past, Present, and Future"
"First, lets see if you can really tell the future"
"The only way to know I'm telling the truth, is by allowing me to read your past and present. And if I'm right with them, I should be right with your future as well. Take three cards to begin."
As Sakura took three cards, she noticed that they all had a pentagram on them, not a picture or anything, just a pentagram on both sides
Naruto took the cards and flipped them around in his hand as he walked over to a desk,(think when Facilier does when he does his song)
"The cards will only show you blanks, you have to have a connection with my friends, before the cards will tell you anything, they only speak to me"
And with that, Naruto set the cards in a pile on the right side of the desk, and swiped his hand over them as they spread across the desk, (Naruto flips the cards, and it shows pictures that resemble Sakura's memories, exactly like with Facilier, and as he explains them, the pictures change to resemble what he talks about)
"In your past, I see you all alone, the sad little lonely girl, who gets bullied, but when a certain girl came into your life, your life turned around, but when a certain boy came into the picture, your new friend and you went different ways for him"
The card began with a pink haired little girl with several people around her pointing and laughing, but as he continued, he flipped the card again, and instead of pentagram that was on the back, it showed a blonde holding her hand out to the pink haired girl, and then when he flipped it again, it showed the pink haired girl and the blonde both holding a ribbon, as a lightning bolt that started at the two top corners, meeting in the center, a few centimeters above the ribbon, and traveled straight to the center of the bottom, and it had the sharingan eye, in the triangle that the bolt made at the top(was that a good description?)
Sakura was in shock, it was completely right, it even resembled her memories. Everyone stopped to see how well Naruto did, and were all shocked as well
"Your present however, your mind is strong, but your strength ends there, your obsession is at a scary level, and the one who you see as your hearts desire, is cold and cruel... I shall go out on a limb and say almost all of you girls will get this part of the reading as well"
Everyone watched as the card started out with the pink haired girl, now looking more like Sakura currently does, reading a book, with several piles around her, then switching to one of the same pink haired girl having trouble lifting something(use your imagination) then it showed her holding onto a black haired boy, which for some odd reason, had a blue head, then it showed the girl looking at the dark haired boy as he was surrounded by ice,
"And in your future, I see you at a crossroad, on one path there is a broken heart and soul, and on the other there is fear and despair"
As the card showed the pictures, it was the girl with pink hair that seemed to be older than Sakura, with short hair, and she was walking a path that went from the top center, to about the middle where it splits off and heads to the two bottom corners, and as Naruto tells her the first path, the girl is standing in the rain, looking miserable, and then the other one showed a chained up and bloody girl
Sakura backed away slowly from Naruto, and everyone backed away from her
"Your wrong"
"My cards have never lied to me before"
"Do mine"
Sasuke shocked everyone by coming forward, and Naruto smiled
"The future is the exact opposite of the past you know Sakura" he got looks that said 'no kidding'
"The past will never change, but the future is always changing, the question is not why were you there, the question is, where do you want to end up, the cards reveal you path's end, to prevent where your going, you must think about changing your present, just be careful where the present leads you, cause no matter what, the best description of time, would be tree roots, they pass through the ground no matter what, and every now and then, they cross paths, so you may end up back on the path you tried to get off, good luck in finding your safe path. Sasuke, if you want me to read your fortune, then I will need some money"
"You did her's for nothing, but I need to pay? Why?"
"Cause no one believed I could pull it off, and now you believe me, so I can request payment in exchange for allowing you to obtain the answers I can get you"
Sasuke pulled out his wallet, and gave Naruto a handful of cash, not caring how much he grabbed out, and after a couple of shuffling tricks by Naruto, and Sasuke taking three cards, and setting them on the table, Naruto repeated what he did with Sakura's cards, then grabbed the first one
"Your past is very dark my friend, you have seen the loved blood, and you went through it over and over again, not much of a past to speak of huh?"
The card showed a small Sasuke standing alone, surrounded by bodies, and blood, with the mangekyu sharingan eyes behind him, and then there was the same boy holding his head, and screaming as several pictures of different scenes, all dealing with murder, where floating behind him, the one common thing about the pictures, was the same tall dark figure, who was doing the killing, but there were doubles of several pictures, and they looked to be in a huge pile(imagine the pile of pictures you see when you dump out a box of them, except their all facing up)
Sasuke knew what that meant, Sasuke knew that the cards knew he went through watching his brother kill his loved ones, explaining the loved blood, then the repeated suffering and pictures were all the things dealing with the tsukiomi
"Your present isn't much either I'm afraid, the lonely prince, and a thirst for blood, but the wrong blood, now that is curious, the avenger is seeking the blood of a man who didn't do the crime, or was forced to, which one it is, I'll let you decide"
Sasuke was staring wide eyed at the cards, as it went from a picture of him, with a small crown near the top of the card, followed by the same boy, only with a sword, and stabbing someone, but there were three grinning shadows behind the boy, each with strings, and one of them only had one eye, but the strings were attached to Itachi, not him
"Time to foretell the future, the cards tell me you will be cursed, and that curse will lead to a crossroad, one path leading to betrayal, while the other leads to pain, and so, the question still stands, where do you want to end up?"
the cards showed a white snake binding Sasuke, and biting his snake, as an aura came from the two, while it showed the heaven's cursed mark in the background, and he also had the same picture Sakura had, only a different person, the first path showed Sasuke turning his back on a group of people, while the other path showed Sasuke grabbing his neck, while blood was coming from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth
Sasuke glared at the cards
"Explain where the betrayal leads"
"I'll leave you demanding me alone because of your little donation earlier, but demand me again, and I will not be so forgiving, but the betrayal is tied to a snake"
Naruto showed him the snake binding him again
"Find the snake before it finds you, and you will be able to prevent the curse from reaching you, changing your future"
"You give advice to Sasuke-kun but not me?"
"Your crossroad was of your own creation, you must change yourself before you can change your path, but Sasuke will be attacked by a snake, and while that happens, he will end up cursed, so the only way to prevent the curse, is to stay clear of snakes"
"Although" Shikamaru decided to add his two cents "You have to wonder about what the snake means, it's kinda hard to believe that a simple animal could curse someone, but then, you have how many people the snake could stand for, considering there are people who betray their friends, they are referred to as snakes, as well as the snake sannin, then there's his apprentice"
"Wow, it's funny how good surprises could be ruined by a genius, why not just tell him that the snake sannin, Orochimaru has been developing a seal called the curse mark as well"
"You said that on purpose didn't you?"
The deadpanned look Shikamaru gave Naruto was obvious
"Well, when you travel with Konoha's best espionage ninja, you kinda learn a thing or two, and reading between the lines, is sorta second nature"
Naruto left, with Hinata running a bit to catch up, and everyone looked at Sasuke and Sakura, all wondering how much of what Naruto said was reality, and how much was fiction, several taking his advise to heart
===later at the Hokage office===
"That team is obvious, but as Jariya said, Naruto is too powerful to place on a balance front-line team, Sasuke is right with Naruto at the top, so if I placed them on the same team, it would completely over power them. So that means that I will just have to do this then...
===next day at the academy===
Iruka looked at all his students, and goes through his heart warming speech that few if any at all cared about.
"Team seven is Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Kiba Inuzuka"
Sakura cheered, Sasuke was still lost in thoughts of the other day, and Kiba and Akamaru were whining about there ears.
"Team eight is Shino Aburame, Hinata Hyuuga, and Naruto Uzumaki"
Silence rained from the team, but from the grin on Naruto's face, the shy smile on Hinata's and the twitch of Shino's mouth, you could tell they were satisfied.
"Team nine is still active, and so, team ten will be the Ino-Shika-Cho recreation, which is Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Chouji Akamichi"
Ino groaned, Shikamaru mumble troublesome blondes, and Chouji just kept eating.
Before Iruka could continue, the door opened to reveal the one and only, Kakashi Hataki, and no one knew what the hell he was doing
"You have time backwards Kakashi, your extremely early, not late"
"Well, you see, this morning I rolled out of bed, and then I couldn't get back to sleep you see, so then I figured I would get ready for a day of rescuing old ladies from trees, and giving fish CPR, but on my way here, I ran into absolutely no trouble, not even a single meow for help, and so, I lost track of time, and thought I was late, but I ended up here now, and as you can see, I could not have been more off about the time, I thought I was late, but in fact, I'm early"
"But since I'm here, might as well spend some time with my favorite old buddy huh? So, I heard you had the Uzumaki kid, right?"
"If you wanna spend time with Naruto, you might want to go find him before lunch is over, him and Hinata, along with Shino have already left for lunch"
===around town===
Naruto decided to get to know his team better, so when he offered his team lunch, they both agreed, and as they were about to order something at a dango shop, when someone interrupted them
"Yo" Kakashi, bad timing
"Hello, weren't you the idiot with the long excuse that was obviously full of BS, that was flirting with Iruka when we left the class?"
"I'm not gay"
"I never said anything about you being gay"
Kakashi deadpanned as Hinata giggled a little bit, and Shino smirked slightly.
"Aren't you the writer of the Heart's Fortune, romance series? The one that is written along side the Icha series?"
"You stalked my team for that reason?"
Kakashi looked sheepish
"How about I pay for lunch, and you can chat with me?"
"Fine"
Imagine I put their talk here, and imagine Kakashi's questions, as well as how much he asked about the book series, as well as Jariya, and Hinata and Shino simply sat and listened, but would talk when talked to, so they had a nice lunch.
===four hours after Kakashi met Naruto/ three hours after they were supposed to meet their sensei===
Kurunai and Sasuke were pissed off, Sakura was Sasuke's problem, and Kurunai was mad cause her team had yet to show up, and yet, she already figured out what was keeping them, considering Kakashi's team was still there, Kakashi was messing with her students, Kiba was sleeping with Akamaru on his head
"Our sensei will be displeased with us" The calm cool voice must have been the Aburame
"The cards say that both sensei and team seven will be pissed, so be prepared to be bitched at Kakashi-baka"
"But Naruto, he is a sensei" Shino had to be a voice of reason
"He lied to us, and I didn't catch it, I should have never let him show me his collection of Icha Icha Paradise"
"But I had everyone of your books there as well Naruto-san, I like them almost as much as I do the Icha series, they are both romantic novels, yours just isn't only for adults"
Kurunai was pissed off even more, so much in fact, she would later proudly claim she did what she was about to do
Kakashi stepped into the room, and had to duck, as kunai went straight for his head
"Good shot Kurunai sensei"
The fact Naruto knew who she was, was questionable, considering she had never met him
"When Kashi-chan decided to make us late, which by the way, his clocks are all three hours behind, I checked with my cards, they said we were late, and before you ask how I know your name, that is thanks to research, the one to train the tracking team was Kurunai Yuuhi, fresh junnin, and the ice queen of Konoha, also one of the few junnin who focuses mainly on genjutsu, as well as one of the few female junnin"
Sakura had a twitch in her eye
"Are you saying women can't be powerful?"
"No, actually, if you have seen as many anbu as I have, you would actually notice, that about 68% of the village's anbu are in fact women"
"Really?" Kakashi was wondering about Naruto's sources
"Well yeah, although it was kinda strange Jariya knew how many women were ninja in the village"
Kurunai seemed to be upset, the damned ultimate pervert knew stuff like that but had trouble finding some stupid traitor? What the hell?
"Jariya-sama is extremely intelligent"
SLAP!!!!
Kurunai was beyond pissed off
"It's smart to know how many girls are in a single village, and what rank they are huh? What about how many women it would take to kill the man who wrote Icha Icha?"
Kakashi's eyes widened
"Naruto-san! Did you just hear what she said? She threatened your former sensei"
Kurunai looked shocked, she was training a student of the legendary sannin? It was possible for her to learn a thing or two from him, especially if the strongest of the three sannin trained him
"I honestly don't really care what you girls do to Jariya, but if you can get the information about where he goes to get his books published, I would be extremely grateful"
Kakashi looked at Naruto in shock
"What? All he did was try to figure out how my abilities worked, and honestly, I am the one who writes both mine and his books"
"What?"
The dark way Kurunai said that scared Kakashi so much, he gulped
"I write the book series Heart's fortune, a romance novel, but Jariya takes it and adds the smut, meaning I do all his work"
Kurunai, Sakura, and Hinata were all pissed off, Sakura because her teacher reads the damn smut, Kurunai, cause said smut was started, and is now being ripped off of her new student's book, Hinata, cause some old damned pervert was stealing her man's great book, and screwing it all up, she liked Naruto's book, and she would honestly want to keep reading it, but to know it's the base of the perverted smut that people like her father read, really gets under her skin.
Naruto was getting tired of waiting and answering pointless questions, and he decided to mention it
"Can we please get our team meeting over with?"
"Alright, team eight, let's go"
And with that team eight was gone, and Kakashi dragged his team away
And so, Naruto begins his adventures as a ninja, and what will happen with his friends on the other side? What are Naruto's secrets? What is Hinata's bra size in the shippuuden? Find out in the next chapter, everything will be answered, actually nothing will be answered, but you will eventually find out... all besides the last question, that I don't have the answer to
===end chapter===
the last bit was a shot a a joke, bad or good? I don't care, honestly, but I must ask, considering i'm getting complaints, does anyone wanna explain how the beta reader thing works, and who wants to be the beta reader? I got yelled at for bad grammar, although it was because of the lack of capitalizing... which I still say doesn't mean much, as well as them not seeing who is talking, and so, I shall go over my other two chapters to see where they went wrong, and try to fix them, for your happiness, are you all satisfied now?
Whoever . . . () is, as well as Jasonbobdude, both convinced me to get a beta, dot dot dot more then Jasen, although I don't understand Jason's complaint, but I think he is complaining... maybe
Psycho the Hedghog was nice about their complaints, so they gets hugs, and if this author is a she, kisses too, for I am not gonna kiss a dude, . . . could be a name for either, but I am about 90% sure Jason is a boy name, and I have met girls who call themselves Psycho on the net, and I rarely ever check out someone's profile, so if you want me to correct myself on your gender, don't be afraid to point out i'm wrong
