From the Path of Darkness


This is a fanfic of my OC in series Naruto. I hope it's not OOC ^^'


Chapter 3: New team

This is around the time when Naruto and others graduated. So my OC Minori is at the same age as Naruto.


About a week after Minori became a genin, she had her first meeting with her team and teacher.
'I hope they aren't just a bunch of weak assholes', Minori thought while walking at the meeting place. 'Well, I'll have to get along with them, I own Jiraiya and Hokage-sama that much.'

She arrived at the meeting place first. Not long ago appeared two boys, her team mates. And a little later their teacher arrived.
"Hi! I'm sorry I'm a little late", he said looking a little embarrassed. He was a pretty tall man, maybe 30 years old. He had short black hair and he was wearing the usual jonin clothes.
"Have you gotten to know each other yet?" he asked.
"No, we just got here too", a boy with black, spiky hair, said.
"Is that so? Well then, we'll start with introducing yourself. Tell us your name and age and why are you on this team. If you want to, you can tell your likes and dislikes too", the jonin said.
"Lets start with the boy from right."
"Umm.. Okay. My name is Ryouichi and I'm 17 years old. I was training with my father away from Konoha, so that's why I didn't have a team yet. Hmm.. I like birds and dislike selfish people", Ryouichi said. He had a short gray hair. He was almost as long as the teacher and he was wearing a black, loose shirt and black jeans. His head protector was on his arm.
"Ryouichi, huh. Alright, then the other boy", teacher said.

"I'm Daichi, 16 years old. I had problems with my health when I was younger, so I got to graduate not long ago", spiky boy said. He was wearing a white t-shirt and black trousers. He had his head protector on his arm, too.
"I hope you are alright now, Daichi", teacher said smiling at him.
"Of course I am", Daichi responded with a wide smile.
"That's good to hear, now the girl."

Minori just stood there quietly when the others looked at her.
"Minori, 12 years old. I just moved in Konoha", Minori said while looking elsewhere. She wasn't wearing the same clothes that she had when she came. Now she had a black hoodie and black trousers.

"*Ack*. Twelve? Isn't she a little too young to be in our team?" Ryouichi asked a little surprised.
"Ryouichi is right! She is way too young! We're a team just so that we can take part in the Chuunin exams, right?" Daichi asked clearly shocked.
"Sigh. I knew it would be like this. Ryouichi, Daichi, it was Hokage-sama and others who made this team. They know what they do. Minori just happens to be a little younger than you guys but she's as strong as you are. That's why you got in this team.
And it's just like Daichi said. You formed a team just so that you can take part in the Chuunin exams. After that you'll be on your own. So we're not going to do missions and such.
My name is Takumi, or that's how you'll call me. That's not my real name, you see. Chuunin exams will be soon. You have a month to get to know each others abilities so that you can work as a team. It will be hard but do your best", Takumi said.
"Sigh. Alright, alright. I'm sorry I got a little angry with you", Daichi said to Minori. Minori didn't say a thing.
"Well then, we'll meet here again tomorrow. Then we'll see how your teamwork will do", Takumi said.
"Until tomorrow then, bye!" he said and vanished.
"Yeah", Daichi said and left walking.
"See you tomorrow", Ryouichi said to Minori with a little smile.
"Sure", Minori said turning away and left walking.

Minori walked through a park. She walked slowly and she was thinking of her new team.
'That man, Takumi, was definitely from Anbu. Ryouichi seems to be pretty strong but Daichi might be a problem if he's not completely healthy", Minori thought.

Suddenly she heard some voices from somewhere. She saw kids, maybe the same age as herself. There was a boy with black hair, a girl with pink hair and a boy with yellow hair.
"Aaaargh, that Kakashi-sensei is late AGAIN!"
yellow haired boy shouted.
'He sounds as annoying and troublesome as he looks like', Minori thought while walking closer.
"Gosh, I'm sick of his retards!"
The girl shouted. "What do you think, Sasuke-kun~ ?"
'Heh, she seems weak too', Minori thought when she walked closer to them. Then she noticed that the dark-haired boy, Sasuke, had noticed her. 'He looks interesting', she thought while looking at him. 'Not as weak as the others.'
"Hm?" yellow-haired boy had noticed her too. So did the girl.
"Sakura-chan~ Who is that girl?" he tried to whisper to the pink-haired girl.
"LIKE I WOULD KNOW!" the girl shouted back, clearly embarrassed because she knew that Minori could hear them. Then she hit the yellow-haired boy shouting: "Naruto, you're way too close! It's disgusting!"

Minori was just walking past them when the yellow-haired boy, Naruto, waved at her joyously. But Minori just kept walking. Naruto was shocked by the ignoring.
"Hey! That's rude!" he shouted and started to walk towards Minori.
*Ack!* The girl was shocked because Naruto was acting reckless.
"Oi, Naruto! What do you think you're doing?" she asked him while running after him. Now both of them were in front of Minori. Naruto looked angry and Sakura embarrassed.
"You know that when someone says 'hi' to you, you're supposed to answer!" Naruto said.
"Well, you didn't say hi. You just waved at me", Minori said calmly. This made Naruto even more mad and he said: "But it's still rude to just ignore me!"
"I'm sorry then. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to go home", Minori said.
"Why won't you go then?" Naruto said irritably.
"I can't when you two are blocking my way", Minori said.
"Ah, w-we're sorry!" Sakura said awkwardly. Then she started to pull Naruto away.
"Come on, Naruto. Let's go back to Sasuke", she said.
"Who are you anyways?" Naruto asked Minori.
"I mean, I've never seen you. Are you a ninja like us?" he continued now curiously.
"That's none of your business", Minori answered now a little irritated herself.
"Well you could at least tell us that much. What if you're a ninja from other country and you shouldn't be here? Then we have to stop you", Sakura said.
'Like you weaklings could stop me', Minori thought but didn't say it loud.
"My name is Minori and I'm a genin from Konoha. Good enough?" she said.
"Is that so? My name is Sakura, that stupid boy next to me is Naruto and that cute boy over there is Sasuke. We're genins who graduated not long ago", Sakura said.
Minori looked at Sasuke. He had been standing there all the time when they were talking. Minori was just about to say something when a grey-haired ninja came.
"Hi you all! I'm sorry I'm late. I had some paper work to do", he said.
"YEAH, RIGHT! YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY LYING!" Sakura and Naruto yelled at the same time.
"Now now, don't be so angry", the man said. Then he noticed Minori behind them.

"Hm? And you are?" he asked.
"Don't play dumb, Kakashi", Minori said to him. He had taught her some info about rankings and Anbu and Konoha.
"Hahaha", he laughed. "So you still remember me."
"How do you know each other?" Naruto asked looking at them.
"Well, Minori is new here so I gave her some information of our village and so on", Kakashi said. "This is my team. I guess you already got to know?"
"So this is your team? Hah, good luck with them then. It seems that you've got a meeting so I'd better go now", Minori said.
"Alright, see you again", Kakashi said waving.
"Bye!" Sakura and Naruto said waving. Sasuke just stand there looking a little impatient with the noise.
"Bye", Minori said to them quietly and then walked home.
