Chapter 3
[With Team 7]
After three hours of hard training and Sakura cheering her beloved Sasuke for getting more stronger than before, Kakashi called it quits.
"Okay. Sasuke, keep training and tomorrow, I will see how far you have progressed with the jutsu I taught you today. Sakura...keep doing what you are doing."
He then gave them both an eye-smile and flashed away, but the eye-smile was half-assed as his thoughts were on Naruto and wondered what mission the Hokage put him on, before thinking, 'The Hokage must have just pushed him into a room to get him out of the way. I'll get answers from him whenever I see him again,' He finished as he pushed Naruto to the back of his mind as he started to read his porn.
[On Training Ground #7]
Sasuke immediately left the area and Sakura trailed after him and bashfully asked, "Sasuke-kun, would you like to go on a date with me?"
"No," He bluntly stated with the unspoken words of, 'Now leave me alone.'
Sakura dropped her head in depression as Sasuke got out of earshot and she immediately screamed, "No Naruto-baka! I will not go on a-Oh..."
She immediately looked around the empty training ground and realized that Naruto was not here and what she did was purely on instinct.
'Stupid idiot...' She thought as she made her way back home. She would try again tomorrow, she would have her precious Sasuke-kun and then Naruto-baka would just be their mat for them to step on for greatness.
[With Sasuke]
He made his way off the training ground without Sakura following him and made his way to find the dobe's house before realized that he didn't even know where his house was. After asking one of the civilians after getting past their awe, raising his ego a bit of him talking to them. They pointed out his old apartment, making him leave without a goodbye.
Finally, he stood in front of the old building, run down and shabby, a perfect fit for a dead last like Naruto and made to enter the apartment and called out, "Dobe! I don't know how you convinced the Hokage to say you got a mission to miss out on practice, but you should know that it only makes you more pathetic than before."
His words echoed throughout the empty apartment building and he heard no footsteps nor shifting of anything, meaning the apartment was empty.
"Hn."
Sasuke took several steps forward before he fell into a wire trap, meant to strip him of his clothes, but he managed to cut the wire before it could take off his shirt and saw the trap was made to strip off everything he was wearing and force him into a diaper and toss him outside.
The last Uchiha hid a shudder and made to keep moving, looking for traps, but no matter where he looked, traps littered every corner of the apartment he was in. As he made his way deeper into his apartment, he found his respect for Naruto rise...just a little bit, along with my concern for his sanity on how he could make so many traps.
Some traps were designed for the complete embarrassment of the person, like the diaper trap or the trap that would have had him in a permanent wedgie that would have been hellish to get out of. Another trap was a combination of itching powder and bubble wrap, but Sasuke refused to ponder on how it could be an effective trap.
Another set of traps was solely for painful mutilation or to only cause pain that would last months, even if the person managed to get to the hospital. It went from simple kunai traps to various senbon traps aimed at the body's most sensitive points, before heading towards the random pitfalls towards rusted various dangerous items.
After barely escaping the pit of rusted beartraps, Sasuke finally made it to Naruto's room with his name carved into the bedroom door.
He said, "Nice try dobe, but you cannot escape an Uchiha."
When he tried the doorknob, he found that it was locked and when he tried to pull his hand back, he took the doorknob with him and it was connected to a string, when he tried to remove the doorknob from his hand, he triggered another trap, which was a boxing glove, hitting him right in the crotch, making Sasuke sing a high A.
He fell down, clutching his crotch before he felt his ankles get caught in a wire trap and he was dragged out of the apartment through a window, smashing the glass and he was smacked into a wall with the phrase, 'Ignorant fucks' was spraypainted on it and was dropped into a dumpster as the cover closed behind him.
Sasuke dragged himself out of the dumpster, his shirt was covered with spoiled milk and he had two ramen cups on his head as he looked at the apartment building in shock.
'How many traps did he set in there? Fuck it, I will find him tomorrow and I'll give him hell-' He took a sniff of his shirt and shuddered, 'And my fucking cleaning bill.'
[With Sakura]
When she left the training ground, she made her way to the beauty parlor, before coming across Ino who had just finished her team training.
"Forehead? What are you doing here?" She asked, raising an eyebrow
"I'm walking Ino-Pig, what does it look like?"
"Hmph...Anyways, I still have the best team, while you're stuck with stupid Naruto."
"But that's the good thing, here, Piggy. The baka is no longer with Sasuke-kun and I and we have Kakashi all to ourselves."
"What?!" Ino snapped
Sakura grinned, gloating, "Apparently the idiot got a mission and he was sent away from our team."
"What do mean the dobe has a mission, Forehead?" Ino quipped
"Exactly what I said, Ino-pig. Kakashi-sensei said that the Hokage sent that idiot on a mission."
"And you don't know what it is?"
"No. Kakashi-sensei wouldn't tell us, but told us to leave him alone or he would ban us from the chunin exam."
"Wow...Now I really want to find out," She grinned as she rubbed her hands together as she planned to find the blond.
"Well..."
"Don't tell me you are scared?"
"Of course not. Besides, that baka will tell me anything just get on my good side, who knows maybe I get a mission for Sasuke-kun."
"Is that so...Well, I'll find him tomorrow and he will tell me. It's not like he can say no and if you will excuse me, Forehead," Ino stated as she made to leave.
She shrugged her shoulders and made her way to the beauty parlor, not sparing Naruto any more thought.
[With Naruto]
Naruto changed into a pair of black shorts and a blood red v-neck t-shirt and stretched out his limbs before he heard everyone was coming back to the house and saw them through his window, some of them saw him and he shyly waved at them as they waved back with big smiles.
He caught the attention of Aizawa who nodded at him and Naruto nodded back as the tired-looking man made his way inside. When it was two o'clock, he made his way downstairs and he was pulled into the middle as everyone conversed and talked and Naruto found himself really comfortable.
After eating, everyone settled into the living room as Naruto sat on the couch between Tsuyu and Ochaco.
Aizawa was sitting in a puffy chair as he laid his head on his hands and said, "Now that everyone is seated, introduce yourselves to your new classmate."
"So you are the new student, my name is Yuga Aoyama, I hope we have a sparkling relationship."
Mina sighed, as she nudged Yuga making him fall on his face, causing a few laughs as she outstretched her hand and said, "Mina Ashido, it's awesome to meet a new person!"
Naruto shook her outstretched hand and heard, "Gero," from beside him and he looked to see a green-haired girl with her hair tied in a bow, "Tsuya Asui, but call me Tsu."
"Okay, Tsu-chan," Naruto smiled, making the green-haired girl grin.
A tall young man stood up with his arm raised and announced, "Tenya Iida! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Naruto grinned, "A pleasure to meet you as well!"
On Naruto's other side, a brown-haired girl tugged at his shirt, making him turn to her and she softly said, "Ochaco Uraraka."
A blonde resting on the couch waved his hand, "Mashirao Ojiro."
Another blond with a black strike in his hair, waved at him, "Denki Kaminari."
"Eijiro Kirishima!" A spikey redhead called out
"Koji Koda," A softer voice called out
"Rikido Sato," A deeper voice rang out, coming from a brown-haired teen
A silver-haired teen called out calmly, "Mezo Shoji."
A rather bored voice rang out, showing a black haired girl laying on the floor, "Kyoka Jiro."
A black-haired boy with a grin waved at him, "Hanta Sero."
"Fumikage Tokoyami," A black-haired boy with spiky hair and red eyes (He's wearing a genjutsu)
Naruto already knew who was coming next as the half-red, half-white-haired boy smiled at him, "Shoto Todoroki."
A black-haired girl with two large ponytails, pale skin with a sweet smile said, "Toru Hagakure." (A/N: I'm giving her an appearance and the ability to go between visible and invisible)
The ashy blonde who was leaning against the wall, glared at him before sighing, "Katsuki Bakugo."
"Izuku Midoriya," A green-haired teen smiled at him
A female with her hair rolled up to look like a perm said, "Minoru Mineta."
A black-haired girl with her hair in a spiky ponytail, "Momo Yaoyorozu."
Naruto smiled, "It's a pleasure to meet all of you!"
Most smiled back, while Katsuki sneered before turning away as Naruto thought, 'I'll apologize to him later. I'd rather not have another Sasuke situation here.'
"Naruto, come with me," Aizawa stated
"Okay," He nodded as he followed the man.
As people conversed behind him, he followed Aizawa to his office to wear he closed the door behind him and said, "You are probably wondering why I told them you were the new student, correct?"
Naruto nodded once and said, "Alright, pay attention."
[Flashback]
Hiruzen growled lowly...Measuring stick, my left asscheek
He then quickly went through handsigns, summoning a monkey who asked, "What can I do for you, sir?"
"Get me, Jounin Aizawa."
The monkey saluted, "Yes, sir."
After several minutes, Aizawa appeared and bowed, "You called me?"
"Yes, do you have space to train one more student?"
"Depending on the student in question."
Hiruzen stated firmly, "Naruto Uzumaki."
"The Kyuubi container?" He asked with slightly widened eyes
Hiruzen's eyes grew darker, "Do you have a problem with what he contains?"
Aizawa immediately shook his head no, "Of course, not. I just never met him in person."
He snorted, "Well, you will get the chance to. He is going to be in the forest resting, several miles away from the Konoha populace. I would want you to have him join your class and make him into the ninja that I know he can be. You can observe him from a higher vantage point and decide whether you want him or not."
"Isn't he Hakate's student?"
Hiruzen growled, "Not anymore, he wasted four months training only the Uchiha and Haruno, leaving Naruto up shit's creek, and I am not going to have him held back anymore."
"So you wish for me to catch him up to speed and train him the way he was supposed to be."
"That is practically the game plan. Do you accept?"
He gave a grin and said, "I won't go easy on him."
"I don't expect you too. Naruto needs a teacher that will push him past his limits, you were the first one that comes to mind. However, Naruto is in the midst of finding himself."
"Really~?"
"Yes, because you see, the loud, boisterous genin that is always in kill-me orange is not actually Naruto's true personality. It was a mask he created to both protect himself but train himself when the teachers in the academy didn't. He holds himself back and he may realize it now because he explained that he couldn't wear it anymore but I need you to make sure that he doesn't revert back to it. But along with that, his mask may hide his darker emotions I need you to help sort them out and find a way for Naruto to deal with them. No one could go through what Naruto has and still have all of his marbles."
"I see...So he hides his real personality. I get it, he hasn't shown his stuff yet, though? I mean, considering all the pranks around the village he has done. And to tell you the truth, he should be mid-genin in ranking?"
Hiruzen spat, "The civilian council in all of their idiotic glory to decided to put more emphasis on studies instead of skill."
'So that's how Haruno go the top spot...' He thought, before pushing the thought back for now.
"That and he should be the top genin, considering all the pranks he has pulled off, show skills that a dead last shouldn't have."
"People see what they want to see."
"That they do, but Naruto will surprise you. He has a heart of gold, but it is cracking due to all the bullshit he has suffered from. If you stabilize him and he creates bonds with other than myself, Iruka, and the Ichirakus he will become one of your greatest students."
Aizawa grinned, "Interesting, I accept."
Hiruzen let out a silent sigh of relief, "Thank you... Try to-"
"Don't worry about sir, they are my students, after all, most of them have faint ideas what Naruto holds considering the civilians aren't very subtle but they have no reason to care about that and if Naruto is as you say he is, they will have no problem with him."
Hiruzen nodded, "Dismissed, Jounin Aizawa and...take care of him." as Aizawa saluted him and flashed away to observe his new student.
[Present]
Naruto looked at him in slight shock, "He said that about me?"
"Yes."
Naruto looked down at his lap as he clenched his fists, 'You really believe me that much? I won't let you down, Jiji. I promise.'
He looked up again as Aizawa spoke, "So what do you intend to do? Are you going to trust me to train you?"
"...It won't be easy. I need help in a lot of places and ...a lot of shit that I need to sort out as well."
"It will be worked on in due time and I won't go easy on you. My training is rather grueling for those that have been my students for years."
Naruto gave him a slight smile, "It wouldn't be fun if it wasn't grueling, sir."
"Call me sensei for now."
"O-okay, sensei."
Aizawa got up from his seat and pats Naruto on the shoulder and said, "I'll allow you to get spend some time with your new classmates before I start training you. I will introduce you to the other teachers later."
"There are other teachers?"
"Yes, they are in a meeting out of the village now, but they will come back in a few days."
"Alright. Thank you, sensei."
Naruto then left the office and Aizawa trailed after him, leaning against his doorframe to see Naruto who got pressed against Kirishima and Kaminari as they loudly conversed and he watched Naruto's nervousness melt away as he got deeper into the conversation with them.
He allowed a smile to fall on his face as he made his way back to his office as he pondered the training schedule he had for everyone to complete, especially since Naruto was now a part of his class.
The man glanced at a picture that was on his desk, he was a rather cherished picture of him in his youth, it was him with Toshinori, Minato, Kushina, and Jiraiya. Kushina was hugging him, much to his dismay and Minato was giving a peace sign to the camera. Toshinori had just kicked Jiraiya in the balls for trying to write his girlfriend in the books and he was laughing in the background.
"I wonder, Minato...Who would you be more ashamed by, the villagers or your own student? It makes me wonder how Kakashi will feel once he realizes that the boy he has been neglecting has been his own sensei's son. Another to add to his list of failures. He's strong skill wise, but he's still weak where it counts."
The rest of the day was spent observing people get comfortable with Naruto and the spiky blond slowly lower his guard around them as he joined in the mischief and the barbeque to celebrate their new friend.
[Next Day]
Naruto experienced his first bout of deep sleep in what felt like forever as he didn't have to worry about anyone breaking in, most of the populace didn't know where the location, meaning very little chance of mobs.
He woke up at 6 o'clock and made to eat along with the rest who got up a bit earlier than he did before an alarm sounded, making Naruto flinch at the loud noise as everyone got dressed and made their way outside and climbed the hill where Aizawa was wearing his yellow sleeping bag and said, "Today's morning training consists of 20 hard laps around Konoha, after traversing the forest, before going through the obstacle course and then all of you will spar each other. Naruto, I will be the one to spar with you after you complete everything. Now go."
"Yes, sensei."
After five hours, everyone rested in the grass and Naruto was laying on his stomach as he was chatting with Deku as he never felt so tired, yet satisfied with training and he loved it.
He pulled himself off and followed several girls who wanted to change out of their sweaty clothes as he made to take a cold shower. After changing, he saw a messenger bird on his window seal and it had a note from the Hokage.
He made to find Aizawa, "I got a letter from the old man. I need to head over there."
"Do what you have to do. I will explain you need to work on later."
"Thanks, Sensei."
He then made his way out of the house and made his way towards the Hokage's Office, traveling via rooftop, before he caught the attention of Hinata who was walking with her teammates and pointed out Naruto. Kiba grinned and said, "We are going after him."
Hinata nodded and Shino went along with them before they came across Ino who dragged Shikamaru and Choji into the mess to try and get information about Naruto's secret mission given to him by the Hokage.
However, Naruto managed to get to enter the Tower first, making his way past the bitchy desk attendant, he found Hiruzen completely another stack of paperwork.
Naruto opened the door and shut it behind him as the two looked at each other silently before he said, "Thank you, Jiji."
Hiruzen only smiled, as he knew exactly what Naruto was speaking of, "No problem, Naruto. But I have several things that belong to you."
Naruto's widened as Hiruzen pulled out several books and one of them had it scrawled on it, 'Kushina's diary' and said, "This is your mother's diary. She wanted me to give it you when I felt that you were ready. It hurt me to hide it from you, but I didn't want-"
Naruto raised a hand, "Don't worry. I understand."
He took the diary and several books in hand and couldn't help but notice that his hand was trembling as he looked up, "Do you have any pictures of her?"
Hiruzen pulled two pictures, "This one was her pregnant with you and the other was her with her team."
"She grins just like me...and she looked so happy."
"She loved you so much, Naruto."
Naruto couldn't help the tears that fell down his face and felt a weight lifted off his shoulders before he blinked them away.
"What about my dad...?"
"Well, Naruto, all I can say is that he is closer than you think."
"Alright, thank you, Jiji. This is better than any present you could give me. Am I dismissed?"
"Yes, enjoy them Naruto."
Naruto smiled and made to leave with an actual large watery smile he hid from everyone else as he made his way out.
Hiruzen felt a bit of his guilt fall off his shoulders as he looked at the Fourth and said, "He will do great things. I know he will."
The Rookies were waiting until they finally saw Naruto exit with several books in his arms as they pondered why did he need any books. He then took off to the rooftops with them trailing behind him.
He immediately saw them from the corner of his eye and wondered why they were following him when they barely acknowledged him in the first place before he recalled all of their harsh words at the Ramen Shack. He made to lose them at the first opportunity when he took a dive into an alley and ran.
They tried to find him, only to find no one and made to search for him elsewhere, making him laugh, "And they call me the idiot."
He then made his way back to the house and into his room, where he was carrying the books close to his chest. He fell on his bed and made his way to the last page of his mother's diary were it had several drops of blood on it and he read it,
Hello my son, my baby Naruto.
If you are reading this and I am not with you, then, unfortunately, I am dead and your father has died as well.
But if you feel bad, I want you to stop that train of thought! Don't you dare feel bad for me, I gave my life to protect you and I expect you not to lose any sleep over it. When I first found out I was pregnant with you, I couldn't believe it, your father actually fainted when he was making dinner. As smart as he is, he's a bit of a dork, but he's a strong shinobi and saved my life plenty of times as I did with him. Now, I want you to grow up to be a lovely young man. Don't be picky and eat some veggies, no matter how tempting the ramen can be, trust me, I know and make lots of friends. Never take any bullshit, not even your own. Find a nice girl to settle down with or a guy if you swing that way. Or both! I don't really care, but if you like girls go nuts and I expect grandbabies and if you like guys well, I don't blame you considering that I am bisexual.
Naruto trailed off from there as his face was red as an apple as he decided to quit reading for now and go to the bathroom, fill the sink with water and cool his head off before he continued his mother's letter, which continued,
If you needed to retreat into the bathroom as you read this, then you really are your father's son. He even fainted when he walked in on me and (crossed out). Sorry, not something you should look into. Anyways, have fun and if you haven't met Jiraiya or don't know who he is outside of his sannin title, please do one thing for me? Crush his remaining testicle into dust for me and if you don't know Tsunade either, give her a black eye that she can't heal for a month and a massive assripping. Don't hold back just because she has a massive pair of tits. Remember that I love you when I found out I was pregnant with you, when I carried you in my belly for nine months and when I held you for the first time and I will always love you even beyond that. Now, I expect you to enjoy life the way an Uzumaki does and I don't expect you on puffy clouds until you are old, gray and have plenty of stories to tell me and your father.
Signed Kushina Uzumaki with a chibi of Kushina giving the peace sign.
Naruto felt tears fall down his face as a massive smile fell on his face, 'She's even better than I thought she would be and she loves me! She really loves me!'
He put the diary under his pillow and wiped his eyes with his arm and knew it would almost be lunch time and decided to read another book that Hiruzen gave him and said, 'I'll make you proud mom and you too, dad. I promise.'
He opened the book and the title made his eyes widened, 'The treasured weapons of the Uzumaki clan.'
Ending it! I am ending the chapter! I am really sorry for the long wait! The next chapter will be more interesting, I know that much. Now if you will excuse me...I have other chapters to write.
Thank you for the reviews:
LoamyCoffee - Thank you for the long wait!
eniox27 - Thank you and the battle with King Explosion Murder is always fun. Kakashi will get his. I won't bash him, but Naruto will tear him a new ass to shit through. I always hated the way he favored Sasuke and the way he leaves Sakura up shits creek, although I don't give any shits about Pinky. Because seriously, can you imagine Sakura as a fangirl on her first serious mission? She would be a snuff movie, screaming for someone to save her and nobody does. It was him trying to avoid another mob.
Pravus666 - Thank you and let me tell you now, Naruto will not forgive either Jiraiya or Tsunade. Although, Naruto will like Icha Icha and nope on the Jiraiya father figure. I don't feel like it would fit, especially when you see Naruto's growth and how damaged he actually is in later chapters, you will see why he will not forgive either of them and the father figure will not fit.
Nomadic Chaos - Nope! All quirks will be converted into family jutsus and bloodlines. Also, the weapons, which are the treasured weapons of the Uzumaki clan, I will not tell you, due to them being a secret.
Karlos1234ify - Thank you!
jbrew123 - Does this chapter answer your question? Seriously, most questions will be answers either the next chapter or the upcoming chapters that will be explained. Do you get it?
Raremist98 - Nope!
bladetri - Thank you!
BANKAIZEN - Thank you!
Brehze - Thank you!
Hanmac - Already done!
Greer123 - Thank you!
UzumakiBattleWolf - I do as well and trust me I'll do my best, but no promises.
EmeraldRaidenKyo - Okay...Your choice.
KronvarIn (guest) - You would think, but no. And thank you.
HadoFoxGodAsashi - Sorry for the really long wait.
Sn (guest) - Sorry for the long wait.
Guest#1 - I already am!
Guest#2 - My apologies.
Guest#3 - Already have.
