… STILL DON'T OWN NARUTO… SADLY.
Chapter 3: Teammates
Minato leaned against the large oak tree as he watched the younger children play "Ninja" outside the Academy. They threw rocks at each other, pretending they were fireballs and sticks represented kunai but suddenly an argument broke out between two boys.
"No, I wanna be Naruto! He's way cooler than Kakashi!" A boy with dark brown hair shouted at the other child.
"Too bad! I picked it FIRST!" The smaller child stuck his tongue out and ran off while the others chased after him, laughing and giggling.
Minato felt a smile creep across his face; these children were the sons and daughters, and even grandchildren of villagers who had once scowled at the sound of his father's name. Instead, now their kids worshipped him and thought he was the coolest guy ever, the irony of the whole thing was hilarious. He looked back at the old school building he once attended classes in and pulled so many fabulous pranks with his twin sister's aid. The building was the same layout of the school his dad, Naruto went to except that Academy had been destroyed when the Akatsuki member, Pain had attacked so long ago. Iruka, Naruto's favorite teacher here, still taught some of the classes but had been promoted to the position of Headmaster when Minato was 9. Iruka always seemed to harbor a soft spot for the Uzumaki Twins and just like their father, they had put him through a lot of trouble as kids.
"Minato-kuuun!" He turned in the direction that the voice was coming from and chuckled at the sight of his two teammates racing towards him.
"Minato, where have you BEEN!" A pale skinned girl wearing black shorts and a black tank top with bright red hair smacked him across the face, as the other girl with black hair and white eyes smirked at the exchange. "YOU MADE US WAIT 3 HOURS FOR YOU TO SHOW UP, BAKAAA!"
"Easy, Mari!" The white eyed female laughed darkly. "Last thing I want to do is explain to Hokage-sama how you killed his only son."
"SHUDDUP, MING!" Their Uchiha comrade exclaimed angrily. "HE DESERVES TO DIE!"
Oh boy, Ming thought silently as she watched her two friends (…well, actually it wasn't really a fight because Minato pretty much gotten beaten alive…), if only they had been blessed with the Hyuugas' peace and tranquility.
After Mari had gotten the anger out of her system, and Minato had become completely black and blue all over, did Ming try to communicate with her fellow shinobi. "Ok, guys; we've got a mission to get started on. Let's head up to the Hokage building."
"Hmph," Mari crossed her arms over her chest and walked away. "Whatever."
"Umm, does anyone wanna help me up?" Minato groaned from the ground, drowning a bit in his own spilled blood.
Kasumi stood outside her dad's office waiting for the rest of her team to show up, and was starting to get rather impatient with them both. After lots of begging, arm-twisting, and some ramen negotiating, she had finally gotten them a mission and they couldn't even show up on time?
"… Troublesome." She mumbled under her breath.
"Hey, what did I miss?" She turned to see a two figures walking toward her with onyx hair and eyes and a red headed, middle-aged woman in a jounin outfit stood next to him, purple glasses on her face.
"Hey Ren, hey Lady Karin!" Kasumi smiled. "Where's the blonde boy?"
"Behind you," a monotone voice spoke from a distance. "But you probably didn't see me over your giant forehead!"
"WHY YOU SON OF-!" Kasumi nailed him square in the jaw while the two Uchiha giggled in the background. "I swear Niko one day-!"
"Easy you two!" Karin chuckled quietly. "Let's act a little mature in front of the 6th today, okay?" The three teens looked at one another and nodded in sync. "All right we better go inside before someone notices the hole you created using Niko as a punching bag." She took a long look at the gaping fissure before turning her focus back to the teenagers who stared sheepily at the ground to avoid her gaze.
Naruto glanced at the Four teams gathered in front of his desk; there was team 14 with his daughter, Kasumi, Ren Uchiha, and Niko Yakamura, team 5 with his son Minato, Mari Uchiha, and Ming Hyuuga, team 8 with the Inuzuka Twins (Suki and Zuko), and Ando Nara, and last of all team 11 with Kyo (Rock Lee's son), Kita, and Obi (Chouji's son). Only one team was late: team 3, which was made up of three genins, Suya Uzumaki, Gakuun Nara, and Dima Inuzuka (Kiba's sister's youngest child). Naruto wasn't the least bit surprised; after all they were Kakashi's new team: knowing him, he was probably catching up in his Icha Icha history….
The Hokage shook his head once and sighed, he'd deal with him later. "Okay, so I have some news to tell you guys-"
"Oh, is it about the new entre they're serving up at Ichiraku's, Lord Hokage!" Obi grinned stupidly. The two captains of the Anbu (Sai) and the police (Sasuke) started to laugh as Naruto stared speechlessly at the boy.
"They have a new entre-? Forget it, more important stuff, kid!" The Hokage grunted in annoyance while Obi moaned about missing food for this.
"Quit being such a fat ass and listen!" Kita hissed angrily as the others began to snicker.
"As I was saying, you all have a big mission ahead of you." Naruto leaned back in his chair, a serious expression on his face. "From some of our Anbu reports, there appears to be a shinobi trespassing on Kohona land; your mission is to go figure out what he wants."
Ren Uchiha snorted. "Piece of cake!" His 18 year old sister, Mari glared menacingly at him and he shut up immediately.
"Not exactly," Naruto muttered. "We have been able to identify the man… He calls himself Madara Uchiha." Everyone went silent and stiffened, their focus completely on the Hokage.
"But I thought he was dead!" Sai whispered in shock.
Naruto shrugged. "So did I, but sooner or later we'll figure it all out," he looked back at the four teams. "This is why I'll be accompanying you as well…"
"This SUCKS!" Ren whined as Naruto led his squad into the woods. "I could be sweet talking some hot girls right now!"
Niko smiled. "Just what we would expect from the Uchiha Pussy, eh?"
"WHAT?"
"You heard me."
Naruto grinned at his students, remembering how his team used to act "back in the day". He had to admit, he never expect Sasuke's oldest son to be a perv, but maybe it was to be expected as he had corrupted the kid at a young age. However, he DID expect his little Kasumi to hit like her mother (which she did…) and Sai's son to be a complete insensitive jerk at times (just like his damn father).
"Okay you three, we gonna head back to the clearing to meet with others." The teens nodded and raced after their teacher.
"Perhaps you should stay awhile, Naruto." A barrier appeared and engulfed the four ninja. "After all, I would hate for you to interrupt Kabuto and Zetsu's plans involving your family!" A masked man walked over, his deep voice chuckling.
" What have you done?" Naruto growled, his orange and black cloak flying as a sudden gust of wind blew through. He tried to move but found himself paralyzed and at the mercy of the painfully familiar attacker. He looked at the others and saw that they were also unable to move.
"Have no fear, you'll see them soon," he continued calmly. "But I must make sure you act accordingly." He drew a kunai and pressed against the tan throat of his daughter.
"NO!"
"Now, now Naruto, no need to rush. After all-" he waved an arm, still clutching Kasumi, and a swirling portal opened up"-we're just getting started!"
"LET HER GO!" Naruto shouted helplessly.
"Nope; in fact I think it's time I gave her a History lesson." The man turned toward the angry blue eyes staring at him. "And for you, I've got some advice; stay out of my way and I may let some of friends live." And with that, he threw the young girl into the vortex. Kasumi's vision began to blur and just as her world went dark, she heard the anguish screams of her father while she continued to fall…
