Naruto: Ayatsuri Shigai

by DUke Aster Williams

Dear Reader,

Sorry for the late update, which was about four months. I had major writer's block for the longest time and this was written a few days, I got inspiration after watching some Naruto Abridge Series. I think I got all the main OCs in, there will be minor characters but they will appear later. I apologize for all the grammar and spelling mistakes (I hope I fixed most of them if I didn't then I apologize). I also apologize for the late update, I don't make any promises for the next one to be updated soon. This is a short chapter so don't expect anything much.

NOTE: I am not the best at dialogue.

Chapter Three: Introductions

One by one jonins collected their genins groups as the clock slowly ticked. As time passed, only three groups remained in the class room; Ayatsuri thanked the fates for letting his team be one of the teams left behind since the Uchiha's team was also waiting. Holding a small smile on his face, he looked at the ground and would occasionally look over at the door or his teammates who were getting frustrated. It had been only ten minutes though, so it wasn't that long of a wait. Ayatsuri frowned though, he wasn't sure if he was prepared to meet his jonin yet once he actually thought about it. What if he wasn't good enough to actually prove himself to his parents? What if everything starts to tumble down and he has to go back to his parents with nothing but shame. What if-

"U-Um…hello?" a voice asked as Ayatsuri was snapped out of his train of thought. Looking over, he noted that the voice was rather hesitant when they spoke. "O-Oh…hi I was just sitting with my teammates and was looking around and noticed you were sitting here alone," the voice asked as Ayatsuri blinked his eyes behind his headband.

"I am?" Ayatsuri questioned before noticing that Damiken had left his side and disappeared somewhere.

"Yeah…well I thought I'd come over and introduce myself, I'm Michi," the young boy said as he gave Ayatsuri a smile, though didn't know if the boy could actually see his smile.

"Ayatsuri," the albino smiled as he felt a small animal crawl onto his lap. Being a bit startled, Ayatsuri jumped a bit before lifting his arms up not knowing what to do.

"Oh, and this is Yoru my cat," Michi smiled as he guided Ayatsuri's hand to pet the head of the black cat. Ayatsuri smiled as he felt the soft fur underneath his hands and gave a small chuckle.

"I've never really seen a cat before," Ayatsuri said to himself as he ran his hand down the cat's back.

"Is it because of your headband over your eyes, I was actually a bit curious about that," Michi blurted out as he saw Ayatsuri's face slowly become a crimson red.

"AYATSURI! Let's go our sensi is here!" a young kunoichi said before heading out of the door.

"I must go…I do apologize," Ayatsuri said as he shooed the cat off his lap and bowed to Michi before following his teammates out of the door. Though, he took one last glance at the Uchiha before he disappeared out into the hall, not wanting to leave.

Meanwhile, Michi frowned a bit, feeling a bit disappointed that he didn't get to find out the reason why the albino wore his headband over his eyes. He remembered seeing the boy in class with a ribbon over his eyes before they got their headbands. Michi was always curious on why someone would want to blind themselves and he couldn't find any information on the mysterious albino. Yoru mewed as he climbed onto Michi's lap and rubbed his neck against the boy's stomach. Chuckling a bit, Michi petted the cat's head before he heard footsteps coming towards him.

"Michi! You left me with him!" a girl complained as she crossed her arms and pouted a bit.

"What's wrong with me?" a young boy asked as he stretched a bit and yawned.

"You fell asleep while I was trying to talk to you, Hachi!" the young kunoichi said as she practically yelled at the one named Hachi.

"Well, I was training during lunch and I was tired so I fell asleep," Hachi shrugged as he toyed with the small gourds on his side.

"Tch, what ever," the kunoichi frowned as she let out a sigh.

"Well Bara, if you must know I wanted to talk Ayatsuri to ask him a question," Michi smiled trying to cheer up the kunoichi.

"Oh and why is that?' Bara asked as she narrowed her eyes, a small bit of jealousy in them.

"Well, you know he has his headband around his eyes and I thought I would ask him about it," Michi shrugged.

"Did you find out why?" Hachi asked as he finished fixing his equipment.

"No…he had to leave before I could even get an answer from him," Michi frowned as he petted Yoru.

"Such a waste," Bara said while rolling her eyes.

"Team Six?" a cheerful voice projected loudly as three students raised their heads up before filing towards the door. Behind him they could hear a particular blond groaning and complaining how they were the last genins to be left in the room.

Ayatsuri fiddled with his apron as the three genins sat in a small restaurant, it was rather strange to be eating out with their sensi on the first day. Though, the female jonin sitting infront of them seemed a bit worried for some reason. She said that she felt that they would be more comfortable in a homely environment when getting to know each other. So, this is where team nine found themselves with their jonin. It seemed that the two kunoichis were getting along well as they both seemed to hold a conversation with each other. Though, he wasn't surprised since most females would find a conversation with another female less awkward than with a male that they first meet. With a sigh, Ayatsuri leaned against the wall a bit bored with what is happening. He kept one ear in the conversation though was mostly tuning it out.

"Maybe one day we could go to the hot springs to relax after a mission," Imari suggested as their sensi nodded with a smile.

"That would be nice, hot springs are very nice. So, Damiken and Ayatsuri was it?" their jonin asked as she focused her attention on her other students.

"Yes, It's a pleasure to meet you Leki-sensi," Damiken said before bowing his head in respect.

"Nice to meet you," Ayatsuri said as he snapped himself into a head bow.

"Ah, so tell me about yourselves I'm sure you know enough about me after my conversation with Imari," Leki smiled as she ate part of her ramen.

"Well, I'm one of the best genin here," Damiken smirked as Imari flustered and glared at her teammate.

"Oh really, I wouldn't be surprised," Leki smiled as she held up her empty bowl of ramen wanting another one.

"He isn't, he's just trying to impress Ayatsuri over there," Imari rolled her eyes at Damiken calling himself the best.

"No I'm not! I'm just stating a fact," Damiken said as he was getting a bit frustrated.

"Um…guys…" Ayatsuri said as he raised his hands unsure of what to do; though, he was a bit flustered by Imari's comment.

"Hey, no need to fight. I'm sure all of you are the best in your class," Leki said to calm her students down, she was a bit worried with them though. They might be more of a handful that she had expected.

"Tch, fine," Imari said as she tried to calm down but Damkien's smirk only fumed her anger.

"Anyway, Ayatsuri anything you want to talk about?" Leki asked as she shifted gears.

"W-Well…I like…flowers?" the albino said, unsure of what to say.

"Really, I enjoy flowers too," the young kunoichi said as she smiled at her teammate only to receive a small smile.

"Flowers?" Damiken asked, a bit shocked by his teammate's comment. He wasn't surprised about Imari's interest in them but Ayatsuri's. His only response was a simple nod and a red face.

"Is there a problem with flowers?" Leki asked as Damiken quickly shook his head.

"Ayatsuri-sama it's time to leave," a monotone voice said as everyone turned to see a rather tall figure looking down at them.

"Oh hello Hiroshi-sempai," Leki smiled as she looked up at the other jonin.

"Leki-san, I wasn't aware that you were Ayatsuri's jonin," Hiroshi said awkwardly as he moved to the side so the young genin could allow Ayatsuri to get out before continuing, "We are on a tight schedule so we must go. Please excuse us."

"I see, well we will see you tomorrow in the training grounds!" Leki shouted as they were leaving out the door.

Shifted his headband back into place over his mouth, the jonin nodded his head as he escorted the genin out. With that, the two genin and single jonin smiled and waved at the other member of their team. As the two figures walked away, the albino reached up to grab the jonin's black shirt's sleeve as a security. Meanwhile, the two other genins looked at each other in questions before they started to question their own jonin on what just happened.

Hiroshi frowned as he sat in the furniture of his own room, which was located next to Ayatsuri's. It was morning and the sun's rays were filling up the thin white walls with a hint of color. There was a small knock on the door before it slid open; a tray of food was set on the floor before him. With a small smile, he ruffled the albino's long hair before giving the young boy a thank you; in return he received a smile that was formed out of black stained lips. As the door closed, Hiroshi slowly ate the food presented for him before getting ready for the first day of training, rather a test all genins were to take to make the final decision if they were worthy of actually becoming ninjas. It was up for the jonins to make the decision; Hiroshi silently prayed for Ayatsuri's team to pass and thanked the fates for letting the young genin be with a jonin that wasn't the famous Copy Ninja. There were rumors that Kakashi Hatake has never let any one of his assigned genin teams to pass.

Picking up his dark green vest, he walked out the door to tap on the genin's door. Within moments, the door slid open to reveal a petite albino with his hood sitting on top of his head. Ruffling Ayatsuri's head, they both headed out to the training grounds were they were to meet up with their teams. It was only a few minutes before they were passing many genin teams with their jonin. Though, as they passed Kakashi's group he noticed that Ayatsuri turning to head towards the small trio. With a slight smile that could be confused with a smirk, Hiroshi knew that the young albino has always been interested with the Uchiha family. Ever since Ayatsuri heard of the Uchiha Massacre, the young boy felt a small connection with the survivor of the Uchiha Clan. It was unknown to Hiroshi why the young boy felt that way but he didn't question anything, knowing that mystery always found a way into Ayatsuri.

"Ayatsuri!" a stern voice shouted as Hiroshi looked ahead to see that Ayatsuri's other teammates have already arrived with their jonin.

"Ah, Hiroshi-sempai you are here too? Waiting for your team I presume?" Leki asked as the two jonin watched her team having a small conversation.

"Mhmm…take care of Ayatsuri, but don't go easy on him," Hiroshi said as he relaxed himself, he shouldn't show any attraction to the young genin with others.

"Of course, I don't expect anything less," Leki smiled as she left with her team to start their test that they didn't know about.

As they left, Hiroshi sat down with his back to a tree; propping one knee up he rested his elbow on it and leaned forward to cover his left eyes. Feeling the black fabric against his palm, he could feel the hole that was concealed by the black fabric. Taking out a cigarette, he pulled his headband down to his neck to inhale the tobacco drug after he lit it. Within minutes, he calmed himself down by telling himself that Ayatsuri was fine and that the boy was able to take care of himself. Leki was a compassionate and strong young kunoichi who was capable of protecting her students even when she doesn't believe it herself. Hearing some footsteps, Hiroshi pulled up his headband over his mouth again before putting out the cigarette and destroying it. Before him stood his students who were prepared for whatever was to come at them, though he noticed Suzuna Nara with a small smirk on his face with her arms crossed.

"So when is this test going to start?" she asked as her two teammates gapped at her question.

"In a few minutes, we are to move to a different location. Come," he simply said as he and his teamed walked down a small path.

They passed another Jonin who had recently moved up the scale from a Chunin. Taking a small glance at her, Hiroshi felt weary of her as she passed them. A dark aura surrounded her despite her soft smile, though he shook his head for such thoughts. The Third Hokage knew what he was doing and he, as a Jonin, shouldn't question his decisions. Walking away, he took one more glance at Suzume Kokutan before turning his head in front of him and preparing himself mentally for the test he was to make his students take.
