Chapter 3

"Hey tou-san?" Naruto asked his father during breakfast. The older man calmly drank his sip of tea.

"Yes Naruto?"

"You know Hinata-chan?" The boy had a sly tone. Minato nodded his head, showing he meant yes and motioned his hand for his son to continue.

"Ergh...Her gigai broke and about that place you were always talking about...can we...well technically she...get a new one...if that's alright with you?"

The taller blond sighed and knew his son was nervous whenever asking something difficult. He put down his tea and stood up with a tired grin.

"Sure, we go in an hour, I think I might need a couple of new things myself." He immediately got tackled by a hug from the boy. "YOUR THE BEST DAD!" He chuckled. Just like his mother.

Naruto ran upstairs to his run, to see Hinata fast asleep on the bed. She's cute when she's asleep. He gently woke her up by a quick tug on her shoulders. She stirred then eventually woke up.

"Na-Naruto-kun...what's going on?" She had a tired voice. He grinned widely

"My dad is gonna take us to that candy place I told you about, and get a new gigai!"

She smiled tiredly. "Thank you, Naruto-kun." The white-eyed girl gently pecked him on the cheek, making it turn a shade of red.

An hour later

"Oi, open up you half-masked cheapskate!" Minato banged on the door five times.

Naruto and Hinata behind him sweat-dropped. They both had the same thoughts. This dump is the candy shop?

All three of them heard a click, the door slid open, revealing a man with an black shirt with long sleeves. On the sleeves shoulder top were red swirls. (Note: Just his regular outfit in Naruto but without the vest) He also had a mask to cover half of his face and his right eye. He lazily looked at the three with his hand scratching his natural gray colored hair.

"Hello..yawn, welcome to my sho-"

WHACK!

Minato was annoyed buy his lazy behavior and whacked the side of his face.

"Show some respect for your only loyal customer Kakashi...sheesh."

The man slowly recovered his face and spoke calmly after coughing.

"Sorry about that, spent all night making some new inventions, so Minato what's up?" Kakashi noticed Naruto and Hinata behind Minato.

"So you decided to bring Naruto-kun for once, as well as the girl." Minato noticed slight concern in Kakashi's tone of voice saying that.

"Let's just talk inside." Minato pulled the masked man's arm into the store. He looked back at the kids.

"You guys stay here, we're going to have a chat"

The tall blond closed the door gently and looked back at Kakashi with a stern face.

"Listen, we need a gigai for the girl and I have a plan to get our forbidden scroll back."

Kakashi also had a serious look on his left eye.

"Okay, the gigai for the girl is done...but don't tell me your going to tell her who we are and why we were exiled from Soul Society, then manipulate her to get the scroll back?!"

Minato slightly chuckled at his guess.

"Well, technically, Naruto is going to do all the work."

Kakashi's left eye slightly raised up.

"You have a point, he already knows about us, plus he's pretty loyal, but what about his striking resemblance to you?" He pulled out a notebook and pen. "You did have a big name for yourself back in Soul Society, yellow flash, and if they recognize him as your son, we're screwed." He began writing a plan.

Minato grinned. "Well, this is why we can use a mask to cover up my son's face, kind of like yours."

The gray haired man sighed. "Fine, so when the girl goes back, he goes with her?"

The grinning man nodded slowly.

"Might as well tell him now Minato, before he gets crazy."

A pale blond cat crept into the room between the men.

Kakashi picked up the cat and his left eye had a U shaped smile. "Ino-san, there you are!"

Minato crossed his arms. "So your still taking care of her?"

Kakashi put the cat down.

"Of course, she's just as physically old as your son, she depends on me a lot."

"She's mentally one hundred years of age you cheapskate!"

The masked man held his hands in defense and gave Minato a pill with a smiley face on it.

"This is the gigai." He noticed the cat tugged on Minato's leg.

"What's this Ino-san?" "You want to go with the scary man?"

Minato twitched.

"Why can't she ask me that herself, or at least turn to a human form?"

"She's been lonely lately, I'm sure she'll love Naruto!" Kakashi then pulled out a book with a cover showing a man chasing a woman.

The blond man twitched again. "Still reading those porno books I see."

He picked up Ino and slid the door open. "See ya around White Fang, I'll contact you when Hinata's about to leave back.

He went outside to find Hinata and Naruto playing cards. Ino slipped from his arm and went up to Naruto.

The boy looked at the cat with careful eyes. He picked her up.

"Hey, who's this?"

The man took out a box of pocky from his pocket and slid a piece in his mouth.

"This is the owners cat, he wants us to take care of her while he's fixing up the shop more, her name is Ino."

Naruto nodded and stroked the cat gently, making her purr. "Nice to meet you Ino-chan"

The cat went into his lapped and cuddled in it.

Minato twitched again. I forgot the girl's a pervert, and I'll probably catch those two in the shower making booms in a box..grr..that little demon better not reveal her real form to him...

Hinata heard a ring in her pocket. She picked up the mobile and opened to see a message. She looked back up at the 3. "Sorry guys I have to go now, my big sister's going to pick me up."

Naruto had a puzzled look on his face. "What rank is your sister?"

"Captain."

Both Minato and Naruto fell down anime style. Ino went next to Naruto and rubbed her head against his head.

They both got back up. Minato pulled Naruto and Ino into a nearby bush.

"Listen, I've got to tell you something Naruto."

Hinata sensed a reiatsu near her, it was strong. She went into Shinigami form quickly and stood still.

A woman with long, flowing pink hair and green emerald eyes wearing a different uniform compared to Hinata's. Beside her was a boy wearing an insignia on his right shoulder with two red marks down his cheeks. He had brownish hair.

"Hinata-san," The pink-haired beauty spoke, "It's time to go back."

Hinata nodded and followed them. "Wait, Onee-sama, what about the substitute shinigami?"

The marked boy spoke, "Yeah, Sakura-taichou, what about the new guy, he defeated a menos, and we also came to pick him up to test his skills remember?"

He received a bonk on his head. Sakura glared at him. "Don't question me Kiba, I know what I'm doing, sense his reiatsu level and find him, STAT!

Kiba nervously closed his eyes.

Back in the bush

"Ok, fine, I'll do it."

Minato smiled. "Good boy, oh and take Ino with you." He gave Naruto a black mask to cover half of his face. "Wear this at ALL times."

Naruto sighed and picked up the cat. They both left.

Naruto noticed two different people as soon as he left the bush. He went up to Sakura.

"Um, excuse me miss, are you Hinata's sister by any chance?" He started to become shy, she looked beautiful to him.

Sakura had an attempting uncaring look on her face. "Yep, and your the substitute kid?"

He nodded cutely, making her cringe. This guy...is cute. Even for a mask, this guy is pretty hot if you ask me...

Shut up!

"You uh, need me for something ehh..captain..." He didn't know her name.

"Call me Sakura-taichou, blondie-kun. He visibly blushed and looked down. "Yeah, the gotei wants me to test your skills, and see if your qualified to join our ranks."

He unwrapped his blade and got into a ready stance. Sakura had a blade behind her waist and pulled it out. "Ready?" Naruto nodded and said in another cute voice. "Yes, Sakura-taichou."

Her inner instincts were about to pop up and hug the boy to death, but remained calm on the outside.

She quickly disappeared from view. Naruto looked over his surroundings.

Shit, where is she?

Naruto...

Who...ZANGETSU, is that you?!

Yes, be careful, this girl's young look will fool you, she's very strong, I know you can feel her reiatsu, it's pretty huge.

Right.

A blade was coming to strike his face. Naruto looked up and blocked the attack quickly. He looked up to see a smiling pink haired girl attacking him. He blocked all of he attacks and attacked backed with flawless speed. Hey, I'm getting faster! He swung his blade down and forced her to block.

"Not bad mask-kun." she said as she held the blade infront of her face. Wow, this kid is good, maybe up to lieutenant level.

"J...Just call me Naruto, Sakura-taichou."

She nodded. "Okay, get ready." Hehehee this is so much fun, this boy's the first to stop my attacks and attack back, and make me block back, Kiba and the others are too scared.

"Scatter, Zenbonzakura." Many pink flower petals gathered in the hair and stood still.

Naruto's eyes widened as they began to close up on him.

He relaxed. Get ready, Zangetsu. Yeah.

"Such a beautiful blade, taichou, like the owner."

Sakura felt a warm sensation glowing on her cheeks and barely concentrated on her attack. Naruto raised his sword. Kiba yelled. "Hey, how dare you compliment Sakura-taichou you blon-"

"GETSUGA TENSHOU." A giant slashing light came from his blade and engulfed all the flower petals. Sakura was about to get hit by the attack but disappeared in front of it. Naruto looked for her again. He felt two pairs of arms wrap around his neck. Aww man, I failed.

She looked at his face and saw a sad look thinking about failure. She whispered on his ear softly.

"Silly Naruto-kun, you passed." His cheeks turned red. She nuzzled against his neck when Hinata and Kiba weren't in range.

"Really?" He had an innocent look.

I can see Hinata enjoyed staying here.

She nodded. Naruto looked down behind her waste to see the sword back in it's handle. Sakura saw Naruto look at her blade and gave a seductive grin.

"Like what you see, you little fox?"

Naruto immediately looked away flushing in embarrassment. Kiba and Hinata walked up to them.

Kiba crossed his arms. "So did he pass or what taichou?

Sakura walked up a couple of feet and stopped turning her back against Kiba.

"Yes, and now we are taking him back with us."

Kiba nodded and put his arm on Hinata's shoulder. "So what rank is he?"

The pink-haired captain had a thoughtful look, "Hmm, he's higher than you, that's for sure."

Dog boy sweat dropped and sighed.

"Looks like we got another newcomer with us, eh Hinata?"

"Yep."

The captain opened up the gate.

"Let's go everyone."

As Hinata and Kiba went in first, Sakura stayed behind with Naruto, holding Ino.

She whispered in Ino's ear.

"So this is where you were, about time I found you."

Naruto looked at Sakura. "You know Ino-chan?"

"Of course silly, she's a fellow captain friend of mine."

Kakashi's shop

"What the...SHE KNOWS INO?'

"Maa, maa, calm down Minato, Ino's are agent remember, she also keeps track and temporarily stays in Soul Society, nothing to worry about."

The Gate

"So Ino-chan, you can talk AND transform?"

The cat licked his cheek. "Yes dear."

"What squad number are you and Sakura-taichou?"

Ino answered, "Sakura is 6 and I was a formerly number 2, I don't feel like explaining the whole story."

"Fine.."

Sakura had an irritated look on her fast. Ino noticed and gave a sly grin. "Say Naruto, do you want to see my real form?"

"Sure."

"Wait a minute!" Sakura grabbed the cat from Naruto's hands. "Not until we get you some clothes..."

"EH?" Naruto panicked. "She was gonna be naked?!"

Pinky-haired sighed. Why did you have to be in cat form Ino, you were better off a pig...a filthy pig.

CHA!

Soul Society

A man with long hair and snake-like eyes looked around Sereitei, the place where all shinigami reside.

"Kabuto, it seems we have a change in plans."

Another man with gray hair and glasses appeared behind the snake man.

"Yes, it seems the boy is coming to us instead of we capturing him, this makes it indeed better, Orochimaru-sama, I believe it's time for the meeting to start."

Orochimaru nodded. "I guess it's time to take my squad."

Entrance to Sereitei

"So, what am I supposed to be doing now Sakura-taichou, and where is Kiba and Hinata?"

Sakura noticed those two were gone, so she took Naruto to her captain's quarters.

A room with a fridge, a traditional table in the middle of the room, a futon, and a TV. She brought Naruto to sit down at the table and sat next to him.

"They probably went to meet with the other vice-captains." Sakura said as she fixed her hair.

"So, Naruto-kun, welcome to my captain's quarters, what do you want first, bed, TV, dinner, or me?"

She blew in his ear. The boy twitched nervously while blushing. "Uh..."

Sakura gently placed her arms on his shoulders and curiously looked at him. Hmm...if he's cute to me with the mask on, then I wonder if...She placed one hand on his cheek ready to pull off the black clothing that covered his face.

Naruto cringed.

End.

Heh, sorry this chapter was kind of lame, I felt like updating the story in a fast pace, since I have a new 360, and some games are really filling me up.
