Disclaimer: I only own my OC
"Look kid, are you sure want me to take your picture like that?" Hashirama didn't know what to make of his friend. His own photo had already been taken, and ruined…by Naruto.
He'd been sitting in the chair and staring into the lens, when his attention had been grabbed by his moronic friend who was practising his poses for him own photo. So now his own picture was of him giving a mortified look to the left of the camera, his eyebrows drawn together in horror. The paint covered idiot even had the gall to say he looked stupid, like he'd never seen a mirror before in his life.
He'd tried to get the man to retake it, even tried to bribe him, but no. Apparently there was only one photo for each Shinobi. Hashirama didn't believe him for a second, there was no way Grampa wasn't going to make Naruto do it again.
"Hey Hashi! I'm done, let's go show the old man." He looked up, a dreaded look in his eyes as he saw the piece of paper in his friend's hands, with his ninja registration photo on it. They locked eyes, brown meeting blue.
"You know he's gonna make you retake it right? There's no way he's gonna let that pass." Naruto scoffed, not worried in the slightest.
"It'll be fine Hashi. Besides, even if he doesn't accept it, I'll just use my sexy jutsu on him. Hehehe". Hashirama rolled his eyes at his cackling friend. He'd be stupid to deny the fact that it might work. If Gramps didn't pass out before he was 'persuaded' that was. Which was unlikely.
Line Break
"Take it again." He snorted, told you so idiot. How Naruto still managed to be surprised at the Hokage's decision, Hashi didn't know.
"No way" Naruto yelled at the old Hokage, trying to glare a hole into his head. The Hokage glared back.
"We can't accept this Naruto. You can't even tell it's you." Naruto turned his head away, his bottom lip jutting out. The older Genin used this opportunity to launch his own complaint.
"Gramps can I do mine again. This stupid brat distracted me just as the photo was being taken," Hashirama pleaded with his pseudo Grandfather, not wanting himself to look like a moron in the photo that ninja across the Elemental Nations would see. The Hokage hummed to himself, looking at the boy's photo. A small smirk flashed on the legendary shinobis face so fast one would think it was there imagination.
"This is acceptable." Naruto immediately turned around and laughed at his horrified friend whose jaw now sat on the ground.
"Hahaha, sucker! Wait…you can't call me brat, your only a few weeks older than me!" he yelled in outrage, only just realising the insult. Hashirama turned his head and shot a fierce glare at the orange moron.
"Older is still older, and if you don't wanna be a brat, stop being such an idiot." He turned back to the Hokage. "And you! Damnit Grampa, you better let me redo the photo!" His fist was raised in anger and looked ready to punch in the closest wall. Hashi went to take and aggressive step towards the desk, but Naruto grabbed his collar and pulled him backwards.
Hiruzen frowned at the two boys frantically whispering to each other. He couldn't keep the concern out of his expression, who knew what kind of evil plan the two blondes were concocting. Naruto and Hashirama both abruptly turned around, a wide grin on Naruto face and a hesitant grin on Hashi's. They both simultaneously made the sign for the transformation jutsu. Hiruzen just had enough time for his eyes to widen in horror before the dreaded calls rang out.
"Sexy Jutsu!" A cloud of smoke surrounded in the young Shinobi, and suddenly, the space which once occupied an orange clad boy was replaced with a young and sensual blonde female, with little clouds of smoke covering her delicate areas. In place of Hashirama was a young teenage girl with light blonde hair and brown eyes, with her large breasts being her most prominent feature. She stood with her left hand on her hip and the other behind her head.
"Pretty please Lord Hokage?"
"Can I please re-do my photo Grand-fath-er"
Hiruzen stared in horror at the two blondes, and felt his body react to the two 'girls' teasing, before spasming and falling to the ground. Both boys released the transformation and stared at the old man collapsed on the floor.
"Tch, you are disgusting old man, have you no dignity?" Hashirama scoffed at the so called legendary Shinobi, before crossing his arms and looking away, his chin held high. Naruto looked away from the downed Hokage and gave his friend a dry look.
"Why's he the one with no dignity, you did the jutsu." Hashi turned and raised his fist threateningly, using his other hand to grab the front of the other boy's jacket.
"What was that ya stupid brat? Wanna try again?" Naruto raised his arms in front of him, waving them around in a placating way. He didn't want to get punched into a wall again. God that had hurt. The sound of a door slamming pulled both boys out of their scuffle.
"Todays the day I finally beat you Old Ma-" Bang! Naruto, Hashirama and the now seated Hiruzen sweat-dropped at the boy lying face down on the wooden floor boards who had been tripped by his own scarf. Hashi subconsciously recognised the boy as Konohamaru.
"Honourable Grandson! Are you ok?" Another figure appeared in the now open doorway to the room. The young boy shot up from his position on the floor before loudly declaring
"Someone tripped me!" He spun around the room, as though looking for the culprit, and seemed to find someone who fit the bill. A stupid someone wearing an orange jumpsuit. "It was you, wasn't it!? You tripped me!"
Hashirama didn't know whether to feel insulted that Konohamaru hadn't noticed him, or laugh at the situation his bunkmate was in. Naruto stood shocked for a second, before snapping into action. He reached forward and grabbed the younger boys scarf and raised his fist, imitating what Hashi had done to him just moments ago.
"What'd you say you little runt? I didn't touch you! You tripped over you own stupid scarf!" Hashirama crossed his arms, an amused smirk growing on his face. He stayed quiet and decided not to make his presence know, this looks like it's gonna be interesting, let's see where it goes. The other occupant in the room decided to voice his opinion on what was happening.
"Unhand the honourable grandson this instant! Don't you know who he is?" The ninja, who Hashi recognised as Ebisu, spoke again. "He is the honourable grandson of the honourable Third Hokage!"
Naruto eyes widened and looked at the boy in his hands, and his grip loosened slightly, but Hashi knew that was more from surprise than anything else. Konohamaru gave a cocky grin.
"Ha! You wouldn't dare lay a finger on me now would you? Not now you know I'm the Hokage's grandson!" A tick mark popped up on Naruto forehead, and he raised his fist.
"I don't care if he's you grandmother!" Bang! "Believe it!" Hashirama facepalmed and Hiruzen sweat-dropped. Hashi knew Kono could be a real pain sometimes, but punching him seemed to be a bit of an overreaction. He told Naruto as much, and was given a dry look in return, and a quiet murmur of "Hypocrite".
"Whatever, I'll see you around old man, you comin' Hashi?" He looked down at Konohamaru, a crumpled pile on the ground, Ebisu hopping around him like a kangaroo on drugs. He sighed.
"I'll find you later Naruto, don't worry about me." Naruto shrugged and left the room. Hashirama silently moved to the young boy's side. Ebisu stopped hopping around and observed the boy. He'd noticed his presence of course, he wasn't a Jounin for nothing. The boy had stayed silent though, seemingly wanting to watch the interaction between the two young boys, and Ebisu humoured him.
He recognised him of course, it was hard not to. The boy had an aura about him, one that was both cocky and confident at the same time. Ebisu had never properly met the young man before, but had seen him playing with Konohamaru throughout the village occasionally on his way to collect the honourable grandson.
He'd been confused by their relationship at first, but that had changed the first time he'd seen the blonde interact with Lord Hokage. He was treated and behaved like he was also grandson of the Hokage, despite his orphan heritage. Ebisu had questioned it at first, thinking such a relationship was disgraceful, but a stern talking to by Lord Third had stopped that. Now he just accepted the friendship both boys and Lord Hokage had, odd as it was.
An example of its peculiarity was right before him. Both he and Lord Hokage couldn't help but sweat-drop at the sight before them. Hashirama's foot was repeatedly hitting Konohamaru in the stomach, trying to rouse him.
"Get up you little twerp, your drooling on the floor boards! Do you know how hard it is to clean?" Hiruzen sweat-dropped, he spoke as if he had ever cleaned anything before in his life which, was very unlikely. Konohamaru shot up ram rod straight, just barely dodging another kick in the gut.
"Big brother Hashi! What're you doing here? Where'd the orange guy go? What-" Smack! Konohamaru's face swung to the side from the force of the hit.
"Stop asking me so many questions!" Ebisu facepalmed and Hiruzen sighed, pulling down his hat.
"Sorry big bro, where did that other guy run off to though?" Hashirama sighed, he couldn't deny that he was slightly jealous of how interested Konohamaru was with Naruto. He shook it off and pointed out the window.
"He left a few minutes ago, down the main roa-"
"Thanks Aniki!" Hashirama twitched at being interrupted, and gave a dry look at the boy now running out the door. Ebisu shot into action and raced down the hallway after the boy.
"Oh no! Honourable grandson come back!" Hiruzen sighed, how did he grow up to be like that?
"Ahem," he turned back to the one other person in his office, a devious smirk splitting his face. "About my photo."
Line Break
Hashirama stood behind a line of trees, listening to his friend lecture his little brother about there being no easy way to become Hokage. A proud smile snuck across his face. Naruto had really grown in these last few weeks. Hashirama had always seen himself as the older brother of the two boys, always doing his best to protect them and guide them where he could, but recently it had been Naruto leading him.
He couldn't help but be jealous of his friend's conviction. He was always so confident, and had a dream to work towards. Hashirama felt he had no conviction, and he knew he didn't really have a dream. The only thing he wanted in his life was to know his parents, to learn about or from them. He just wanted to know why he was alone.
He knew Naruto felt the same way, but they had always behaved differently when someone mentioned the unknown heritage of the two blondes. Naruto always smiled, tried to laugh off his pain, but Hashirama always turned to the casinos and tried to distract himself with outrageous bets, and when that didn't work, he'd mope.
He excluded himself from activities and stayed on his own. The only people who could pull him out of his depression where Lord Third, Naruto, Konohamaru and occasionally Asuma, who had been his uncle figure for as long as he could remember.
Hashirama regularly had nightmares about what his parents might be like. About why he was raised at an orphanage, whether they abandoned him, or whether they were dead. That was the worst part of being an orphan, not knowing.
Hashirama shook his head, trying to remove the depressing thoughts and peaked around the tree, just in time to see Konohamaru declare Naruto his eternal rival. He chuckled fondly, before turning and starting the hike back to his and Naruto's apartment.
A slight skip appeared in his step as he realised that come tomorrow, he could finally start his ninja career. Oh man, he silently giggled. I'm gonna be rolling in cash. I should go celebrate at the gambling house! The giggling escaped his mouth at the thought, and he quickly changed course, heading for one his most commonly visited places in the village.
Wow another chapter, man I'm great. I'm slowly making the chapters longer by the way, but this also means longer time before each update.
Quick question, what team should Hashi be on. I don't really feel like making OC's but I could make some for the team, they probably wouldn't be anything special though. If no one says anything then I'll probs just stick him with Kakashi.
Cheers
