I winced at the sunlight streaming in the window.

'Morning already? But I feal like I just fell asleap.'

We probably celebrated too hard last night. Tenten's dad had introduced us to beer, since we were now considered adults by the community. Old enough to kill, old enough to drink, old enough to fuck, he said. So we drank. A lot. I wound up drinking them all under the table and was feeling it now.

Suddenly a class of water appeared on the table in front of me. I looked up to see a happy Naruto bouncing around the kitchen making… something. It wasn't ramen, but I wasn't feeling up to figuring out what.

"How can you be that enthusiastic? You drank nearly as much as I did." I reached out and grabbed the glass, downing the water in one go. I felt a little better, but not much.

As he walked over with a plate for me a smell hit my nose.

'Lucky bastard, nailing Tenten, while her father was passed out of drink.'

"Go shower, now."

He looked at me. "Why?"

"You smell of sex, and unless you want an overly protective father trying to kill you first thing in the morning, you will go shower."

He looked at the sleeping form of Tenten's dad. He was passed out in a pool of drool, with a mostly empty bottle in his hand.

Just then Tenten came down the stairs, looking like how I felt.

"Morning comes way too soon." She muttered as she sat down at the table.

Naruto was merrily humming as he set a plate down in front of her, which she ignored for the glass of water he put next to it.

"I know last night was fun, but there is no way you can be that happy." She said looking him over.

"I believe the damn fox drank the alchohol for him. He's just not feeling anything from drinking till he passed out. You meanwhile look about as alive as I feel. And you smell of sex."

She had the decency to blush unlike Naruto, who just wore his infamous fox grin, which could scare hardened Ambu into crying for their mother. (Actually happened ,and yah, it was weird.)

"Both of you go shower."

"But I don't feel like going up the stairs after I just came down them." She muttered rebelliously.

Naruto decided to be of assistance to her and picked her up bridal style and carried her up the stairs.

'Now he's going to shower with her, lucky bastard. Note to self, don't let them get anywhere near that drunk, ever."

I grabbed my fork and scooped up some of the breakfast Naruto cooked. I imeatiatly spat it out upon tasting it.

'Note, never let Naruto cook.'

I got up and grabbed the plates, scraping off the stuff into the garbage. After putting the plates into the sink, I looked into the fridge for something to cook.

Fifteen minutes later a real breakfast was sitting on the table as I set about cleaning the kitchen.

"Something smells good."

I looked over my shoulder at the two, now decent looking, individuals who were sitting down at the table. Finishing up, I dried my hands then went to get a shower myself.

I leaned up against the wall waiting for Tenten to lock the door.

"Alright let's go find out the rest of our future!" Tenten cheered, much more refreshed from the shower than I was.

"Quieter please, some of us are still hung-over." I said, sipping from my waterbottle.

"Sorry. You know what, you're the only person I've met who could drink my dad under the table."

"Thanks, I guess."

We walked quietly to the acadamey, each of us in the company of our own thoughts.

When we got there, I was amazed by how few of our classmates where there. I glanced at the clock as we sat in the front row.

'Ten minutes. I wonder how many are going to be late to the team assignments. Are any going to skip from hangovers?'

I winced as the door banged open and most of the class walked in talking excitedly.

'Talking that loud can get you killed.' I considered telling them such but decide against it in favor of trying to sleep off my hangover.

It wasn't until later that I noticed no one bothered Naruto about being there.

Right as ten o'clock came around Iruka came in and started talking, or so I was told later by Naruto. I was happily asleep.

I woke up with Tenten shaking my shoulder.

"Come on, we need to go meat with our sensei on the roof."

"Who?" I asked as I sat up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.

"Some junin named Anko." Naruto commented as he held open the door for Tenten as they left.

Grumbling about ungrateful wretches I got up and followed.


"Hello handsome." A voice whispered in my ear as I stepped out onto the roof.

"Not in the mood, Anko." I sighed, rubbing my temples, wishing I had the fox to get rid of the alchohol in my system

"Ah, what's the matter? Wake up on the wrong side of a hangover to find you best friends screwed each other all night long?" She asked with mock concern.

"Pretty much, but you forgot the part about the reason they're not dead is because I drank her father under the table."

Anko for once was speechless, blinking at me like an owl awoken at noon. She looked over to where Tenten was sitting in Naruto's lap laughing at something he said.

"Aren't they too young to be having sex?"

"I'm hurt; you didn't care about my age when you scared me that one night when you got to drunk."

She gave me a predatory grin, "You know you liked it."

Shrugging I walked over to where my friends were and flopped into the bench opposite them.

"How nice of you to show up. Now that we're all here why don't we introduce ourselves?" She said sitting in a bench that faced ours'. "What my name is doesn't matter as you'll be calling me Anko-sensei or Anko-sama. My likes are dango, red bean soup, sake, Erik-kun, and snakes. My hobbies, are torturing traitors and others that break the law, messing with little children's heads (here she gave me an evil grin), and training. My dislikes are traitors, idiots, sexists, and my sensei. My goal is to prove to everyone I am not my sensei. Your turn girly."

Tenten though a moment before starting, "My name is Tenten Johnson (I decided to just use the name I gave her father for her last name as I couldn't find an actual surname for her). My likes are my Erik-kun, my father, our shop, and Naruto-kun." Here they shared a smile, before I interrupted them with a cough. "My hobbies are training, watching the shop, watching my father smith, and hanging out with my friends. My dislikes, are sexists, traitors, idiots who can't tell the diference between a scroll with a storage seal and the kunai inside it, and Jiraiya, the perv." Anko blinked at this. "My goal is to prove that women can be just as strong as men if not stronger, then settle down and have a family with Naruto-kun."

"Why don't you like Jiraiya-sama?" Anko asked, confused as to why someone would not like her favorite author.

"His books are horrible. They are merely sex scenes with the tiniest hint of plot to connect them."

'She's got a point.'

"It doesn't help his case any that my dad was to pussy to give me the talk and instead gave me one of his books to read."

'That explains a few things.'

Anko sat contemplating what Tenten said, "You've got a point. Whatever, your turn blondie."

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. My likes are ramen, Tenten-chan, ramen, Erik, and uh… ramen! My hobbies are training, and hanging out with my friends. My dislikes are the same as Tenten-chan's. My goal is to become the next Hokage and then have a family with Tenten-chan. Believe it!"

"Not so loud, damnit. Not all of us can avoid hangovers." I complained.

Suddenly Anko grabbed me in a hug from behind, pressing her breasts into my back as she said, "Your turn, Erik-kuuun." Then she swung herself around the bench and flopped into my lap, arching her back to give me a good view of her breasts.

Sighing I said, "My name is Erik. My likes are my friends, good food, Champaign, and books. My hobbies are reading, practicing seals, playing shogi, and hanging out with my friends. My dislikes are the same as Tenten's, plus I hate the civilian council. I don't really have a goal."

Tenten looked at me and asked, "Why don't you like the council?"

"Erik-kun here has a bloodline and the council is trying to put him on the CRA." Anko answered for me. "The CRA, or Clan Restoration Act, allows those who are the last of their clan, or carry a bloodline, to have multiple wives."

Naruto raised an eyebrow at this, "And you call me a lucky bastard why?"

"Because you have a girl that loves you."

"What about me?"Anko pouted.

"You lust for me, you don't love me."

She continued pouting as she couldn't deny my claim. Deciding to get me back for that coment, she leaned forward, grinding against my now hard member.

"Meet me at training ground 7 tomorrow at 0500 for your exam."

Naruto was pissed at this, "Exam? It took me three years to pass the last exam and now you're telling me I have to take another? Why must we take another exam?"

By this point I was trying to push Anko off my lap and she let me push her forward a little, before pushing back, accentuating her grind.

"Get off me Anko, your twice my age."

"So? Anyway, that test was to see if you're qualified to become genin. This one is the actual test that determines if you become ninja. Oh, and don't eat breakfast, you'll just puke. I'll see you two later."

With that she grabbed me and we disappeared from there sight in a flurry of leaves.

Anko dumped me on her couch and sashayed into the kitchen, making sure to accentuate her hip movement.

"You hungry?" she asked stopping in the door way to look back at me. I almost said no, but my stomach protested, for it had been nearly six hours since I had eaten, so I nodded.

"Then get your butt up and help me make something, then you will eat me out to start off our day together."

"And if I don't want to?"

Suddenly I felt a snake slithering up my pants leg. I jumped up off the couch and ran into the kitchen to cook. I heard Anko laughing as I searched the fridge.

"I thought so," she said, pulling off her shirt.


Four hours later I stumbled into The Metal Claw smithy and weapons store, to see Tenten behind the counter ordering Naruto around while he cleaned up the shop.

"How you doing?" Tenten asked cheerfully, noticing my arrival.

"You abandoned me with that crazy snake." I accused, grabbing a stool from behind the counter to sit on.

"We couldn't really do that much about it, after all she is a jonin and she used a jutsu we don't know to leave before we could react." Naruto explained.

"What didn't you enjoy her?" Tenten teased.

"It's hard to enjoy anything when there is a snake on your leg ready to bite you in a very tender area if the person you're fucking decides you're not doing a very good job in bed." I said with a glare. Both of them paled at the image I presented them with.

"Is that Erik?" John called from the back. "Tell him I want to see him."

Tenten waved me into the back at that and as I left the shop she continued her conversation with Naruto.

The smithy was separated from the shop and stood completely by itself with at least fifty yards between it and the nearest building in case of a fire. Since John bought the place there hasn't been one but before that they were all too common. John waved me forward to join him as he headed back to the smithy to work.

"What's this about you having a metal affinity?"

"Ever since I was little I could get metal objects to do what I want. I quickly found out that no one else could so I kept quiet about it and never showed anyone it. Word got to the Hokage when one of the Anbu he sent to break up a mob that was after saw me take a kunai to the stomach, just for the blade to dissolve in me healing the wound and leaving the attacker with a handle."

Once we entered the smithy he walked over to a wall, grabbed a bar of metal and handed it to me.

"What is this."

"Iron, a weak iron that flexes a lot but can't keep an edge or work as armor for it's just too weak."

Grabbing another he tossed it to me.

"This is a strong iron, great for hammer heads as it will give more than it takes, but it breaks easily for it doesn't flex much."

He started tossing me bar after bar as I named what each one was.

"Nickle steal, great for swords weilders who wish to channel chakra through their blade. Wind and lightning chakra work especially well."

"Titanium, a hard to get metal great for swords users who don't channel chakra through their blade. However do to its high melting point it works fairly well with fire wielders."

"Brass, in a world of steal it's not much good for anything except throw away weapons."

"Do you figure that out just from your affinity, or do you have other sources?" He asked amazed that I named all of the metals he had by touch.

"Most of it by touch but you can tell different metals apart by weight, as each metal has different densities. Also the colors very if you know what colors to look for, but yes most of it is from my affinity."

He shook his head in wonder at me, "From now on, when you have spare time I want you to come here and work with me. I will teach you how to smith, for with a metal affinity you will be able to go far in the weapons-smithing world. And when you get famous, I'll get famous for being your teacher."

I bowed slightly to him, stunned by his generosity in teaching me how to smith. He hadn't taught Tenten anything, much do her annoyance.

"Thank you sir. I will come by as often as I can."

"I know you will, now go and have some fun with your friends. You never know what tomorrow will bring."
