Naruto: what you mean is that I will be kissing a lot of guys right .
Moonwolf: XD
Demon talk
Mind talk
Clone
Naruto walked past everyone with a bored look on his face, like he didn't notice how they were looking at him, some scared, some calculating, others in just calm surprise and acceptance. And then again there were some that were fuming. To be more precise, that would be Sasuke as he watched his blond team mate come over to them like he had no care in the world. That image was put even more to the point when Naruto's shoulders clutched and he yawned.
Taidana was rubbing his muzzle against the blonds throat and a snort escaped him "don't do that…it tickles" he muttered as he stopped beside Kakashi, leaning his back against the wall. The fox snickered but did as told, truthfully Naruto just thought he did it cause he was to lazy to really do anything else. Orochimaru, disguised as the Oto nin's teacher stared at the blond from the other side of the room, licking his lips. The Kyuubi vessel had the sharingan! A powerful one at that and with the combined strength of the demon… he smirked, it seemed that Sasuke just got bumped down from second best to last choice.
The blond was slowly petting Taidana, waiting for the volcano that was Uchiha Sasuke but Sakura beat him to it "N-Naruto where did you learn all that! And how do you have the sharingan?" she shouted. Naruto sighed and turned his eyes to her "why should I tell you that…" Sakura fumed "because a team should trust each other!"
That made Naruto snort, loudly as he pushed away from the wall, a glare fixing on his face "why should I trust a pink banshee that hits me at every wrong word or a sensei that plays favourite out of guilt…why should I trust a power hungry brat" his eyes turned to said brat "who has everyone giving him what he wants on a silver plate…" he murmured. Sasuke had had enough of the blond and aimed a punch at him, Kakashi moved to intercept it but Naruto came before him.
He caught the fist with one of his own hands, clenching it around it "don't…Uchiha if you knows what is best for you then you wont even try again" he said softly. Sasuke sneered "and what would you do huh dobe?" Naruto chuckled and pressed Sasuke's hand until the raven was kneeling on the floor, his face in pain. It was lucky for him that he already had his turn as everyone could hear the bones crack "that's enough Naruto" the Sandaime spoke up.
With a small snort Naruto let him go and moved away, stepping over to the Hokage and his guards instead. Taidana was snoozing on his shoulder "your such a troublesome guy Naruto-sama" he muttered quietly. Naruto just smirked and stopped beside the Hokage, leaning on the rail as he looked bored at the old man "it was highly unnecessary Naruto… you could just avoided it" the man looked slightly irritated . Naruto rolled his eyes "that would just made him mad…and caused a bigger fight…this way I set him in his place and got a few truths out…now about that bet of ours Hokage-sama?"
Sarutobi sighed, he really loved Naruto as a grandson but sometimes…Naruto could be a real pain in the ass "yeah yeah… we'll stop by my office after this then you get it…you pain in the ass brat" he muttered, sounding less like a respected Kage and more like a whining grandfather. From his position Kakashi was staring after the blond, a firm hand on Sasuke's shoulder to keep him from marching over to the blond 'Sensei…I failed you…Naruto…forgive me'
Later
The rest of the fights had been…interesting, Naruto thought though Neji and Gaara really did some numbers on Hinata and Lee. Naruto had been amazed at all four of them, the strength they had showed that he had not known that Hinata and Lee wielded and Neji and Gaara…well it had been informative for the chuunin exam he guessed as he walked side by side with the Hokage. The old man had been the only reason he had gotten away from all the questions…for now that was. He sighed and petted the fox hanging on his shoulder "something wrong Naruto?" Sarutobi questioned as he pushed his office door open and the blond shrugged "thinking about what I have to say to the others… I could lie but I'm still in team seven and a lie is going a little to far"
The honoured Hokage chuckled as he sat down behind his desk "that's what you get for hiding… how are you holding up Naruto" he asked as he saw the boy winch and rub his temples. Taidana jumped of and sat by Naruto's feet instead to give the boy a small rest "okay….the sharingan's still a pain though" he grimaced, cursing the council for sealing up the eyes so long ago for him not to reach it.
Sarutobi sighed "you know I'm truly sorry for that…if I had been faster…" Naruto waved it away "its fine… if they hadn't I wouldn't have become the person I am today" he smirked.
The old Hokage shook his head, even as a small smile formed on his face "now in regards of the bet…" he probed, wanting to know what Naruto wanted "I want to be removed from team 7 and go on solo missions…" he said and Sarutobi sighed "I'm not sure I can do that Naruto…your not a chuunin yet and its first then you" he was cut of "after the exam I will be…my skills say I cant be held down" Naruto's blue eyes flashed slightly. The thought of being held down was really bugging him.
The 'professor' of Konoha lent his elbows on the desk, put his hands together, twining his fingers together and closed his eyes, thinking it over. If Naruto went through with the exam he would let him but…he would lose the vital eye that had to keep a eye on the blond…just to be safe. He opened his eyes to look at a bored Naruto looking back at him, cocking a eyebrow "alright…I will remove you from team seven but…" he said quickly when the victories look entered Naruto's eyes "you will not be going on solo missions…. You will have a team mate" he stood up and walked to the window overseeing Konoha.
Naruto's shoulders slumped, he had been hoping he would get some time alone…but one team mate was better then a whole team "alright… I can deal with that" he muttered and stood to join the older one, watching the villagers "do you still want to be Hokage Naruto?" the man beside him questioned softly. The blond sighed "in a way yes… what I really want is acknowledgment. If I just become a powerful shinobi I will be perceived as a treat…but as Hokage" he looked up at Sarutobi with glittering eyes. The man smiled kindly at the boy and patted his head "your father would have been proud…now get, you have places to be" he chuckled as he ruffled those gelled blond spikes.
Naruto made a face before walking away, Taidana following in a lazy pace. He stepped out the door and closed it tightly, Sarutobi sighed "you heard all I presume?" he questioned softly as a black shape appeared in the window. It nodded and waited for orders "then you should be aware that if Naruto passes you will be placed as his team mate… now go back to work" the shape nodded again before disappearing
Outside the office
Naruto nodded to the secretary before catching silver shade in the light. His sky eyes Kakashi landed on , standing against the wall and looking straight at him, having waited for the boy to be done with . He sighed before walking away, wanting to go home even as the older man fell in by his side, walking with light steps beside his student. Naruto rolled his eyes "what do you want Kakashi-sensei?" he muttered, thought he had a really strong suspicion about what it would be. It was confirmed when the copy nin tapped his headband over where his eye would be.
The boy stopped and looked at him "…inheritance sensei…and if you want to talk more about it you will come yourself instead of sending a clone" the clone Kakashi sent the boy a sharp look before nodding and walking away, leaving Naruto alone…finally he could go home without anyone knowing where he lived. He sighed to himself and headed towards the shadier parts of Konoha… the slums
