The Kyuubi's Gift
Chapter 3: The Discovered Loves: The Fear of Loss And The Confessions'
There where many whispers about my current living arrangements at school... it created some misunderstandings...
I was surprized at seeing Hinata get teary eyed and ran off the class room... I was never good at reading a woman's actions and behavior...
"Hey Naruto... how is it living with Sakura?" Kiba asked with Akamaru perched over his head
"Uh? WHERE THE HELL DID YOU HEARD THAT FROM?!" I yelled
"Damn it Naruto... I got sensible ears!" Kiba said... cleaning his ears with his fingertip "and I heard it as a rumor"
"Rumor uhhmmm? Oh Ino!! Sasuke asked me to tell you something about undying love or something" Naruto said
Ino knocked everyone to make way to Naruto "What did he say! What what?!" she said in a giddy manner
"Ninpo: Mind exploring technique" I said pressing my fingertips on Ino's forehead
I then explored the last 24hrs of memories that Ino had experienced... I then discovered that Ino was going to visit her... when she saw me carrying Sakura and dissappearing
"to late to do something to those memories... how did I not realize her being there?" I asked myself
"probably... because her smell... Sakura-chan smell... the smell I have burned in my mind... from the one I loved the most the one I lost but now I have found again"
"Just kidding Ino..." I smiled goofily
"this is going to hurt" I think to myself
"NARUTO NO BAKA!!" Ino said hitting me on the head
"Ino! Stop being mean to Naruto" Sakura admonished her old best friend
"Oh so you given up on Sasuke and trying to pick the runt of the litter?" Ino said smiling
" I forgot how evil Ino could be" I thought to myself
I pick myself up... and dust myself... "Just ignore her... you are the only one who knows just how strong I really am" I said smiling sweetly at Sakura... Ino seethed
"Loser!" Ino said to him as she sat on the back
In the moment two persons poffed into the room... one was... "Iruka-sensei!" I thought... a lone tear forming in my eyes...
(Flashback 4 years before the time travel)
"Konohamaru! Look out!!" Iruka yelled as he used Kawamiri on Konohamaru
"Iruka-sensei!! WHY!?" Konohamaru said teary eyed
"Because... the youth... is what will re-kinkle the flames from Konohagure" Iruka said
I ran as fast as I could and I see a sound ninja decapitating Iruka... I lost it...
"YOU ARE ALL DEAD!!" I yell as I turn into 4 tails mode... I wanted them all to die... I killed them... 30... 40... 1000...
I swatted them as if they where mere insects... bloody tears course trough my eyes...
after the massacre was over... I go to Iruka's head... and I hug it
"I am so...sorry... in the end... I was not there... to protect you..." I said as I fall into my knees... emotionally exhausted as I was
(Back to the past... witch is now the present)
And to help me instruct you all... will be Mizuki
"Hey kit... look who is here" Kyuubi informed me...
"Oh... so I need to do a repeat performance when I was in the academy correct?" Naruto sighted... this will be a long year
After classes that same day
"Hey... today... isn't it today the day when they cloud was supposed to sign the treaty?" I ask to my furry tenant
"Yes it is kit... so... what will you do this time around... will you save him... or rather... leave him be?" kyuubi asked me
"I will save him... but first I will need a disguise" I said
At Sakura's (currently as well as mine) house
"Uhmmm I see... I need to find those papers... where did I put those maps...ah! Here they are!!" I said triumphantly
"Let's see... if the Hyuuga compound is this way... and the kidnappers come over here... then I should intersect them over here... and be me the one who kills him... rather than..." I trailed off...
A familiar scent appeared to close by... I hid the maps... and made a kage bunshin to take my place on bed... while I used a henge and transformed into a a form he was most comfortable in...
"Uhmm... is good to be big again" I said as I flexed my muscles... although sighting since this was just an illusion... I had to grow back to my old self...
I escaped from the house... I left the window unlocked... so my clone could open it
I quickly jump the roofs on the full moon night...but the moon was red in color... trouble will be a brewing
Hyuuga compound
WEEEEEEWOOOOOOOOOH!!
The alarm goes off!!
"Someone has taken Hinata-sama... again (that last art was done in a whisper)"
Naruto then jumped an put on a henge mask to appear as an ANBU
"Hyuuga-san... report to me... what is going on" I ask
"Hinata-sama has been kidnapped" A Hyuuga said
"Witch way?" I ask... muscles tensed
"North northeast! Hurry please ANBU!"
With that I disappeared in a twirl of leaves
"Hinata... please wait for me!!" I said as I activate my kekei genkai
Everything was slowed down... everything was significant... my sight then expanded 200 percent... I scanned the surroundings... I found the familiar scent of Hinata... and her familiar chakra signature...
"Hey you!! Drop the girl on the floor and give up..." I commanded
"Who is there" The ninja from the cloud asked
"I am the protector of the villagers... I am the bane of their existence... yet I am the only one who contains the beast they fear... the one who was offered to obtain the power trough human sacrifice... I am Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto" He said dispelling his illusion
"Hehehehe... here I was worried... kid go home... you saw nothing" the ninja said
13 kunai fond a new home on his left leg
"GYAHHH!!" He yelled in pain...
"Kyuubi... come on out and play... your dinner is served" I said as I flash hand signs
(Flashback to before time travel... 3 hrs before time travel)
"Hey kyuu-kun... I know I am the last frog summoner alive know... but is there a way to summon your kin of demons? At least for a short while?" I ask
"There is... but it takes incredible amounts of chakra... but since you are going back... I might as well give you this... this are the hand signs to summon my kin... use it well kit"
(back)
"Demonic Summoning jutsu: Kitsune Youkai!" yelled as I slammed the palms of my hand to my navel
"Welcome... to the real world Kyuu-kun" I said smiling at the 40 foot orange demonic fox
ROOOOAARRRR!!
"Eat him... but leave a few pieces for the animals to finish it of... I wanna make it look as an accident" Naruto said to the fox
the fox nodded and spit a few bones with some blood
The fox the dissipated as it was fog... Naruto then begun to glow red... until it died down... he carried Hinata on his arms...
"Hinata-chan... hey Hinata-chan... are yo okay?" I asked her to wake her up
"N-N-Naruto-kun? Where am I?" Hinata looked around ...
"Naruto-kun get out! You are in danger..." Hinata said latching on me
"Hinata that's okay... I found you over here on my midnight stroll... they guy who kidnapped you... it seams he was food for an animal
I grabbed Hinata's head so she could not see the remains... I put her closer to my chest. I felt something wet on my shirt...
"I was so scarred... thought... I thought... no one would come... Oh Naruto-kun!!" She said...
"I am just happy you are alright... I was worried for a second" I said... only to be meet by something smooth on my lips
"Naruto... I was so afraid... afraid of never being able to tell you this... Naruto-kun... for a long time... I been seeing you from afar... always watching... Naruto-kun... I love you" Hinata said...
I was taken back by this revelation... as she broke the long kiss...
"Naruto... I love you more than anything... but... I-I know you like Sakura Haruno... but wouldn't you look at me... at least once?" She said that to me with teary eyes...
"Hinata-chan..." I said...
I carry her back home where the guards interrogate me on the circumstances... and they asked me why I was blushing madly
I then stealthily enter back home... as I enter a single light from the lamp-stand turns on... the clone was being held hostage by...
"Sakura-chan?" I ask disbelieving the current situation...
"Where did you go?" Sakura said popping the kage bunshin
"Well to tell you the truth... I was just going for midnight training" Naruto said smiling
Sakura gave me look over... "Fine... good night Naruto"
"Crap... now I got Sakura-chan mad at me..." I thought as I pull the covers over me
"Maybe you should told her about your exploit of today?" the fox said
"Yeah... that wold be oh so believable, hey Sakura-chan... I fought against a jonin from another village, summoned The lords of nine-tails
and killed him... oh... and Hinata confessed her love to me to me and she kissed me...(more like ravaged me)" I said to the fox
"Well when you say it that way... sheesh..." The fox said
"Yeah yeah... but... how will we deal with this?" I said to the fox
"Like we deal with anything else...we wait... we see and we act accordingly" The fox said
"Good night fox" I said
The Next Day
"Well today is gonna be really hard... we got to deal with this..." I thought out loud
"Deal with what Naruto?" I hear a voice
"AHHH!! Sakura-chan! I am still changing!!" I yelled
She looked at me while I was putting my pants on... her face then turned beet red... and she ran out of the door
"It's okay... I am decent now" I said as she peeked from the door...
She looked so cute... the redness on her face... it was priceless
"You ready for school kids!?" His dad yelled
"In a minute!" Sakura said
They both darted from home as I jumped the roof... the gentle cool winds signified the beginning of Winter as the Sun rose to the sky
They reached the academy... I used sunshin to enter the school... I did not want people thinking we are a couple... since they would torment Sakura to no end
The class was boring... Naruto knew all about this... he was bored the hell out of his mind... but he needed this...
"Naruto Uzumaki! Please come over here and do the bunshin jutsu" Mizuki said
"So... is the test thing again... gotta play along..." I thought to myself...
"Bunshin no Jutsu" I yelled knowing full well the futility of my being able to create simple bunshins
Simply put... I got so much friking chakra and that means I need more control in order to use simply techniques that require a little of chakra
..since I got to much... it would be rather difficult for me to use 1 spoon if I have an ocean of water
neadless to say the clones where less then perfect
... actually... they where horrible... they looked... dead
I smiled sheepishly... Iruka looked distressed
"YOU FAIL!!" Iruka said
I act down cast and after class I go to the school roof sighting... Mizuki then appeared smiling... hey there Naruto
"Hello yourself you backstabbing bastard... right now I want nothing more than killing you... but I need to redo this instance" I thought to myself
"Hey there Mizuki-sensei" I said with a little sadness
"I know Iruka is a bit thought but is just because he is like you... but how about I tell you a little secret" Mizuki said
Same day at night...
"Uhmmm I need that scroll... again... good thing Jiji is not around since he knows what is it that I am doing... well might as well learn something other than the kage bunshin... but what?" I said to myself...
The hokage then turns the alert to find Naruto who has "stolen" the secret scroll
A bunch of ANBU and jounin where on the seatch of Naruto
I always been an elusive little thing... truth be told... I had stealth skills of that of an ANBU since I was a kid... thought Iruka was the only person who could find me
I went to the forest... and started using the kage bunshin... I used 30 of them to learn a secret ninja art... the one that my father was famous for... the Hirashin... it was... to say the least... impossible to learn with only 30 bunshins...or in a few minutes...
I dispelled all the bunshins... and Iruka the popped up...
"Found ya" said smiling
"Man Iruka-sensei... I only got the chance to learn a single technique from the scroll... Mizuki-sensei told me that you would HAVE to pass me after that!" I said in a fake exited voice
"Mizuki said that?" Iruka said
"NARUTO WATCH OUT!!" Iruka yelled as he pushed me aside
A Fuuma shuriken then lodged on his back... he coughed up blood
"IRUKA-SENSEI!!" I yelled... memories of him dieing flooded my mind
"Iruka-sensei... don't move... I will take care of him" I said as I went for my Kunais...
"Naruto... do you know why the villagers hate you?" Mizuki said
"Because of the Kyuubi?" I said
Mizuki was taken back...
"I have known for a long time... it does matter... no matter what they think or say about me... I am nothing more than the jailer of their fear... but... I am not the demon... yet... I can wield his power AS MY OWN!!" I yelled as I charged at him
Mizuki barely had time to reach as a swift kick hit him right on the chest... breaking 2 of his ribs
"Damn you Demon!" Mizuki said as he fell back...
"Kage shuriken jutsu" I yelled as my single shuriken became many
"ARG!!" Mizuki yelled as he got skewered by the rain of shuriken
"Naruto..." Iruka said in amazement
"Stand up you piece of trash" Naruto said picking him up
Mizuki then took the chance to stab me right in the navel
I just smiled "uhuh... my tenant heals me... you gotta do better than that Mizuki"
"Damn you I WILL KILL YOU!!" he said charging up to me
"KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU!" I said
"What's the matter Mizuki?" I said
"are we to much to handle?" said the rest of the clones
"What?!" Mizuki said cowering in fear
"COME ON!!... NO? Then we are coming for ya!!" All of us said
Mizuki was unconscious after the beating
"Hehehe... how was that Iruka-sensei?" I said
"Naruto...close your eyes" Iruka said
I then fell the cloth being wrapped around my forehead...
"Congratulations...graduate" Iruka said
I begun to tear again... and hugged Iruka-sensei
"wanna eat some ramen?" Iruka said
"I thought you would never ask" I said smiling
On Ichiraku's ramen stand
"So Naruto... why did you never said anything about your...erm... burden to anyone... I am sure someone would have..." Iruka said only to be interrupted by me
"Iruka-sensei... can you really be that naive...? I mean... if they knew that I can actually control the demon in me... what do you really think it might happen...they want to kill me already...can you imagine what they would do... if they knew of that?" I said
"AH... you are right" Iruka said
"Your orders are up!" old man Ichiraku said
after eating his fair share of ramen... (roughly 8 bowls) he excused himself... as he went to Saudra's home
"Naruto!? Whats wrong? How did you fail? When you know an advance jutsu as kage bunshin?!" Sakura said
"Who said anything about me failing?" I said smiling while a hit my forehead protector
Sakura then smiled and hugged Naruto " Congratulations!!" she said
"Thanks Sakura-chan!" I said, "but let's take a shower... and go to bed... tomorrow is our team placement"
"Okay... but Naruto... you go first" Sakura said blushing madly
I leaned on her... and sniffed her... "You smell nice... you just took a shower right?" I said smiling
She had a terrible blush... just like Hinata had when she kissed me...
I took my time on the shower... and looked at my chest where the scar had been on my chest...
the scar from a chidori... Sasuke's chidori back in the Valley of the End
I sight... well... at least his familly is allright and will not turn into the little psycho... much...
I rinse my hair and step out of the shower... my thoughts are on one thing...
"Jiji-san better MAKE Kakashi our team leader... cause if it's any other way... this might not work at all" I mentally yelled
As I ponder on the implications I find myself face to face with Sakura... who came out for some milk...
In my shock I tripped... and fell over Sakura
"Okay... this is awkward" I said
Sakura's face was bright red... but her eyes... they where transfixed on mine
"err... I should get up now" said as I gather myself and dash for my room
Sakura was just speechless... as she moved... she did not know what possessed her to stay like that... could she really be...?
The next day
"Welcome this years Graduate students... I wish the first most apologies... Mizuki will not be able to attend today... for some... unforeseen events... but fortunately this will not impede the graduation... I will now say the team members and jonin sensei so please play attention... Naruto" Iruka said as the class laughed
"Team 9 will consist of Naruto Uzumaki, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke" Iruka said
"You jounin sensei will be Hatake Kakashi" he said... but Naruto was nowhere to be seen...
"Uh... where is Naruto?" Sakura asked
"YES!! YES YES YES YES!! OH THANK KAMI IN THE SKY YES!!" I yelled as I hopped over roof to roof
Needless to say... a LOT of the villager just looked at me and said... he finally gone nuts
"... OH CRAP!! I got to go and lay my prank for Kakashi!!" I said as I sunshin back to school
I decided as I stepped in to put a bucket with a little slime gooey substance and a few low level explosion seals
"Naruto... sensei is gonna get angry at that" Sakura
Sasuke just sighted and I heard a feint word... "dobe"
"Teme" I said without looking at him
"Naruto... don't be mean to Sasuke" Sakura said
"Be quiet I think he is coming" I said as I hushed her
Kakashi then opened the door ... he cut the bucket with a Kunming... but he got covered by the goo... then as he walked he tripped and fell into a trap that covered him in feathers... and then he spoofed
"Aww man... kawamiri?" I said disappointed that my prank was foiled
"Well.. the first thing that comes to mind is... I hate you all" Kakashi said
"Meet me on the roof at 3" he said and dissappeared
"Well... then that means we got till at the very least till 6" I said yawning
"Eh? Why do you say that?" Sakura asked him
"Well I train with him... and I know he suffers from CTD" I said
"CTD? Whats that?" Sakura asked
"Chronic Tardiness Disorder" I said laughing
"So... wanna go and eat Sakura-chan? Sasuke?" I said
"Sure... why not" Sasuke said shrugging a bit
Over at the restaurant a few miles from Ichiraku
"Wow Naruto... I did not know you knew a place like this" Sakura said
"Well I come whenever I can afford it...(and on a huge henge) the food here is really good... is very delectable..." I said... shocking both my new teammates
"What?!" I asked
"Who are you and what have you done with the dobe" Sasuke said
"Hey!.. I am smart... sort of... hey stop laughing Sakura-chan" I said pouting as Sakura laughed
"What will you and your friends order today... sir?" the waiter asked
"I will have the Peking orange sauce duck" I said
"I'll have Miso soup and ostion sauce pig" Sasuke said
"And you little miss?" the waiter asked
"I'll have the Caesar salad" Sakura said
"Very well your orders will be done in a few minute" the waiter said
The restaurant had fancy bread to eat... it had a garlic flavor... with buttery flavor as well... Sakura was addicted to those... Sasuke too... they where really addictive
a good 10 minutes after...
"dinner is served" the waiter said... as he served the dishes to each student
"Whoa!... this is delicious" Sakura said
"Wow... for a dobe... you know your stuff" Sasuke said smiling as he ate
"I'll take that as a compliment teme" I said smiling as I ate the duck
"Boys be nice" Sakura said
"Yes do as the little lady said" a male voice said
They turned around... and found...
"Kakashi-sensei?" I said flabbergast
"I am not amused of you missing the team meting" Kakashi said
"wait... you mean you actually got on time?" I said
"Ok... who are you and what have you done to Kakashi?" Naruto said
"Mah mah... I am the Kakashi... the one and only... or you want me to prove it to you?" Kakashi said
"Oh??how so?" I asked
"You wanna people to see my little orange book?" Kakashi said
"Whoah woah... Kakashi... man.. don't bring that out... we are minors" I said
"Well technically I am not" I think to myself
"wanna eat? You might as well order something" Naruto said
Kakashi blinked...
"Well... is not everyday I get to eat in a luxurious restaurant" Kakashi said
"You should get a girlfriend and take her here... I am sure it would be romantic" I said
"Well... great meal notwithstanding.. why don't you all formally introduce yourselves... give a bit of info about your likes and dislikes, hopes and dreams" Kakashi said...
"Don't bother asking him thought" I said "he will only tell you his name" I said deadpanned
"okay... how about you... the little dame... uhmm I am ordering the Sand dragon special waiter" Kakashi said... as his new team sweat dropped
"Well... I am Haruno Sakura... my likes... well... I am... undecided..." she said looking at Sasuke and then at me "My dislikes are people who don't take time to get to know someone before passing judgement and my hobbies are... taking care of myself... My dream for the future is..." She just blushed at the last part
"It seams as kunoichi are more focused on love than ninjutsu" Kakashi thought "Okay you... Naruto... you got... you introduced yourself... but introduce yourself to your teammates... Oh my god... the sand dragon is delicious... is like is melting in my mouth" Kakashi said as he ate his meal... the team sweatdropped
"Okay... uhmm I am Naruto Uzumaki, my hobbies are training and eating ramen...and pranks, I like ramen... and I dislike the 3 minute wait for ramen to cook... my dream is TO BE THE BEST HOKAGE EVER DATTEBAYO!" Naruto said
"interesting" Kakashi thought "Now you... the emo looking one" Kakashi said
"I am Sasuke Uchiha... my dream is to surpass all the Uchihas before me... my hobbies are training with my older brother... my ambition is to kill the one who tried to frame my brother..." Sasuke said
"Allright... I think we are about done... okay... tomorrow meet me at the training area 7 for our new mission" Kakashi said
"Yatta! What mission?" I said
"Is more of a test really... to see I you guys are ready to be gennin" Kakashi said
"Eh? And what about the academy test?" Sakura said
"well... those where to see if you had a chance out here, but this is the real test... to pass this test... you have to survive... me" Kakasi said
"This test has a 66 percent failure rate... oh... and if you don't like to trow up... don't eat breafast" Kakashi said with a smile eye of his "Dissmissed"
With that he left us to our own devices
"Well... I am off to train... coming Sasuke? Sakura-chan?" I said
"What can you do that might interest me?" Sasuke said
"I can beat you very badly" I said smirking
"Like a dobe like you could even touch me" Sasuke said smirking
"Oh? But Itachi-niisan said I am pretty good... he said if I keep training like I do everyday... I could surpass him in only a couple of years" I said
Sasuke was walking away... until he heard the last part
"Dobe... fight me" Sasuke said
"How about we make this interesting? If I win... you have to follow my lead tomorrow on Kakashi's little test... If you win... i'll follow whatever you said" I said
"WHATEVER YOU SAY!!" He said as he charged at me
I easily dodge him and I extend my foot and he trips... however he quickly recovers and gives me a roundhouse kick... it hits me square in the jaw...
I am send flying as Sasuke appears above me and kicks me to the ground... only to find a log
"Kawamiri" Sasuke then quickly spins to dodge a devastating attack from Naruto... his eyes go like saucers when he sees the crater from Narto's kick
"If one of those touch me... I am a gonner" Sasuke though as he got close to hit him with a punch
I spin as I catch his fist... then I jump over him and flip him over... then
"Katon: Gokakyu no jutsu!" Sasuke says as e blows fire at me
"Aww crap" was all I could say as the attack hits me by surprise
"Naruto!!" Sakura yells
"That was mean Sasuke!" I said as I walk in the flames...
"But now is my turn!" I said "Futton: Kaze no Jaiba!" I said as blades of wind cut Sasuke down to size
I dissappear from his view only for him to fell a kunai to his neck
"I win this round..teme" I said smirking
"you still a dobe...dobe... but a bet is a bet" Sasuke said
"Wow... Naruto was so cool like that... he is even better than Sasuke" Sakura said
"So this is why Itachi-nii said to be close to him... he is strong... perhaps he could help me with my goal" Sasuke said
"Sasuke-kun... do you wanna go on a date?" Sakura asked
"now if only I could pry this pink haired fan girl... and be left alone for a while..." Sasuke thought as he rolled his eyes
"No thanks... I got to train with nii-san... is his day off and he promised to train me... he rarely gets any days off and well..." he said as he say Sakura give him a puppy eyes
"Aww crap... not the sad puppy eyes... arrgg... man... why do girls are so good at using that ? No matter... training comes first" Sasuke thought
Inhaling "Sorry Sakura... but maybe some other time" Sasuke said "When you and Ino become normal and stop chasing me so much... I mean... I gotta use a disguse just to shop for clothing and weapons" Sasuke thought
"Oh... okay" Sakura said disappointed
"Hey Sakura-chan... why not train with me? I got a couple of things to show you" I said
"Allright... lead the way Oh great leader" Sakura said laughing
They both run to the forest as Sasuke dashed back home
