Chapter Two

Naruto wandered around the village looking as though he were lost in deep thought. His eyes were scrunched up against the bright morning light. He had been wandering around the village for what seemed like hours. He hoped that Iruka wasn't too angry that he had left without saying good bye or about stealing all of his ramen. He mulled over the dream he had had the night before unaware of his surroundings or where he was going. He sighed dejectedly as he watched shopkeepers set up their shops. The few people that were on the streets didn't notice him. He felt invisible something that he usually hated but right now he felt comfortable with the feeling. He stopped at sat down on a bench that was nearby a flower shop to rest his feet for a few moments. He was abruptly pulled out of his daze when Ino came out of the shops door carrying an arm load of roses.

"Hey Ino!" Naruto yelled. Ino turned around quickly when she heard her name called.

"Do I know you?" She asked curiously. The teenager in front of her wore a dark green jacket over a dark blue shirt and pants. His ninja head band was around his neck. She noticed that he also had blue eyes and blonde hair that hung slightly over his forehead. But when she noticed the whisker marks on his cheeks her mouth fell open.

"It's me, Naruto! You know the guy who pulled pranks in the academy?" Naruto said wondering if his new clothes made him look that different.

"N-naruto, you're Naruto?!" She yelled her mouth moving on its own. Naruto flashed his trademark foxy grin.

"Yes ma'am! I'm Naruto Uzumaki the greatest ninja that'll ever live!" Naruto answered cheerily.

"You're not wearing orange!" She stated incredulously. Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"So?" He asked bewildered by her response.

"You always wear orange! You not wearing orange is like saying that Sasuke-kun will betray the village!" She yelled.

"Well, Iruka-sensei bought me new clothes so that I wouldn't be killed on a mission and Sakura-san didn't seem to like it that much either." Naruto said in a saddened murmur mourning the loss of his favorite jump suit.

"Why are you calling forehead, Sakura-san not Sakura-chan? I thought you loved the girl!" Ino yelled once again feeling very lost.

"We kind of got into a fight. I think it's because we just received an A-rank mission and it stressed us out a lot. So I'm not going to call her "-chan" until we both calm down. Also she usually gets pissed when I call her that." Naruto said solemnly.

"An A-rank?" Ino asked skeptically. Naruto nodded.

"It was a C-ranked turned A-rank. The client lied to us but we stayed and helped him out like any honorable person would." Naruto said in a matter of fact tone in his voice.

"Did Iruka buy you a brain too?" She asked a smirk apparent on her face. Naruto just brushed it off considering Sasuke had said something similar before he left on his training trip.

"No, but he bought me a watch! And it's ORANGE!" Naruto yelled excitedly. Ino sweat dropped at his excitement over an inanimate object.

"Hey, Naruto! Can you do something for me?" Ino asked sweetly with an odd gleam in her pale blue eyes.

"I guess so." Naruto answered slightly nervous about the gleam in the other blond's eyes.

"Just give these roses to Hinata. And if she asks just say that you bought them for her okay?" Ino said trying to hold back a snicker. Naruto nodded seeing nothing wrong with doing the small favor Ino asked of him and took the roses out of Ino's arms.

"I'll be back after I delivered them! Bye Ino!" Naruto yelled as he took to the roofs running towards the Hyuuga compound ninja style. Ino couldn't help it, she started laughing.

"He's so dense!" Ino said to herself as she walked back into the shop.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Naruto was surprised at how easy it was to get into the Hyuuga compound. There were a few traps that were easy to avoid especially if one was a former prankster. There were also no guards at the front gates like Naruto had expected. In Iruka's words they were 'overconfident'. But to Naruto and possibly quite a few others they were 'pompous jack asses that thought to highly of themselves'.

"Who are you and what do you want in the Hyuuga Household?" A cold voice from behind Naruto asked. Naruto jerkily turned himself around and came face to face with a boy who looked about his own age and long brown hair and of course the authentic pale Hyuuga eyes.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I'm here to deliver these flowers to Hinata." Naruto said shoving the flowers under the other boy's nose. The Hyuuga's eyes narrowed into a glare.

"It figures that one failure would want to be with another." The boy said icily. Naruto ground his teeth together.

"Hinata is not a failure!" Naruto replied angrily.

"Once a failure always a failure. Am I right dead last?" He retorted his smirk growing in size as he watched Naruto angrily sputter out curses.

"Just show me where Hinata is you teme." Naruto yelled.

"I don't need to." The Hyuuga replied calmly and walked off.

"He's just like Sasuke-teme possibly worse." Naruto muttered to himself as he searched for the shy Hyuuga girl. He was about to give up when he unexpectedly crashed into the girl he was looking for.

"I found you!" He yelled triumphantly as he helped the heiress get back on her feet. Hinata's face went scarlet as she saw who she had bumped into.

"Y-you were looking for m-me?" She asked shyly.

"Yup! I have something to give to you!" He said his voice filled with excitement.

"R-really?" She asked quietly. She was certain that if Naruto came any closer she would faint.

"Yeah, but I ran into this jerk on the way here! He was calling you a failure too! I didn't get his name but he looked our age." Naruto said clearly frustrated with the male Hyuuga's earlier words.

"That was just Neji-niisan he's always like that." Hinata murmured softly. Naruto's mouth fell open.

"Y-you're brother and sister!? You act completely different, you're shy, nice, and pretty and he's cruel, egotistical, and ugly too." Naruto said growling like an angry dog.

Hinata's face flushed even more when she heard Naruto say that she was pretty. "Y-you think I'm pretty?" She squeaked out.

"Yeah but not like Sakura though," Naruto felt oddly guilty when he saw her crest fallen look and quickly amended his words, "Hinata don't look sad like that! You're pretty too it's just a different kind of pretty. Sakura is kind of like a fire work explosion and you're like a flower garden." Hinata's face lit up immediately. Naruto pulled the roses out from behind his back.

"Here you go!" Naruto said in an over cheerful voice quickly dropping the roses in Hinata's arms. Naruto turned around and ran back to the village with out turning back to see Hinata's reaction. Hinata was on the ground her eyes closed in a dead faint but her hands were still clutching the bouquet of roses to her chest.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Naruto jumped right in front of Ino effectively shocking her but not enough to drop the flowers she was carrying.

"I delivered the flowers to Hinata!" Naruto said apparently proud of himself. Ino tried not to laugh but couldn't hold it back.

"Why are you laughing?" Naruto asked getting the feeling that he was missing out on something.

"N-nothing!" She sputtered out between laughs. Naruto gave her a look that said 'I'm questioning your sanity'.

"Uhh okay I'm just going to visit the old man." Naruto said taking a few steps backwards.

"Bye Ino." Naruto added as an afterthought.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

The Sandaime Hokage was almost never surprised. Considering how old he was he had seen many things. Sure there was the time when Naruto used the Sexy no Jutsu but he adamantly denied it ever happened. He of course had refused to talk about it because he was more than sure that the villagers would lose a lot if not all of their respect for the Hokage. Also Jiraiya for one would never let him live it down. Lastly Naruto and his grandson would use it as black mail material. The other times when he was surprised were when Orochimaru betrayed the village, the Kyuubi attack, and Itachi asking that Sasuke be kept safe. For some odd reason he felt that today would be one of those days.

His suspicions rose when his secretary asked if he had the time to see Naruto. He nodded his head at the young woman and minutes later the blonde genin walked into his office. He was greatly amused by Naruto's new look. Plan get Iruka to buy Naruto new clothes, a success. The Sandaime thought victoriously.

While Naruto was on his first C-rank mission the Sandaime had brought up the topic of ninja apparel when talking to Iruka one day. He had told the man about the many people who had died by wearing outstandish or brightly colored clothes. The young chunin had paled dramatically and excused himself from the room. Some people would say that the Hokage had no shame. He would most probably reply that he was rambling about inconsequential things because of his old age.

"So what do you need Naruto?" The Sandaime asked kindly as Naruto sat down in one of the chairs on the other side of his desk.

"Well do you know of any one who could teach me about swords and how to use them?" Naruto asked meekly.

"Well I personally know three possible masters. One is my old student Orochimaru, who betrayed the village when you were very young. So of course he is not a possibility. Secondly would be one of the new jounin's named Hayate but recently he has come down with something so he's not in the best shape right now. And lastly would be a man named Rhoan but I wouldn't recommend him." The Hokage answered while he worked on the pile of paperwork in front of him.

"Why wouldn't you recommend him?" Naruto asked curiously. The Hokage smiled tiredly and answered the boy's question,

"First off no one has seen him in a little over a decade and he's a jinchuuriki like you." The Hokage stopped talking when he heard Naruto talking,

"So what? I'm perfectly sane and I'm a jinchuuriki too." Naruto looked up at the Hokage waiting for an answer.

"Yes I suppose you are right, but there is one large difference. Rhoan has actually become a half-demon. He merged with the Hachibi when he turned fifteen and now has the ability to actually become a wolf so of course we have our doubts." The Hokage answered throwing a mental party when he saw that he was coming close to the end of the stack on paper work.

"So he's not a bad person? Why don't you like him? Is he really strong?" Naruto atopped firing questions when the older man raised his hand.

"No he's not an evil person. Most of the time he's laid back but is easy to anger but he does a more humorous side to him as well. Yes he's strong. I don't like him because he's blackmailed me many times to get what he wants." The Hokage uttered the last part under his breath so Naruto had to strain his ears to catch it.

"Well then I'll find him and then beat him up until he agree's to train me!" Naruto yelled an eager firing setting flames in his eyes showing off his energetic youthfullness and…(Sorry if I scared you, it was just too good a moment to pass up )

"Here's a picture of Rhoan I'm sorry but this is all I have of him." The hokage said passing the faded picture to the eager genin. The blond ninja jumped up and raced out of the room not even bothering to say good bye to the Hokage…or pick up the bottle of ink that was seeping its way through layers of paperwork.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Naruto hummed to himself as he walked down one of the back streets that lead to one of the less used training areas. He slowed down when he heard the soft pitter patter of paws on the road. He turned around and came face to muzzle with the wolf he had met the night before.

"You didn't come to the bathhouses." The wolf stated.

"Nope!" Naruto answered as he turned around to continue his journey to the training field. The midnight black wolf strode up to Naruto keeping pace as they walked.

"Why didn't you come?" He asked curiously.

"For starters you're a friggen talking wolf (said wolf looked slightly insulted at this) also Iruka-sensei told me not to trust stranger's or go anywhere with them, or accept the candy they give you!" Naruto said apparently proud of himself for remembering. The wolf let out a bark like laugh,

"Damn it! I was going to push you into the girl's side of the bath house and get a laugh from your pain." The wolf muttered to the boy next to him. Naruto jumped back his eyes wide.

"T-that's evil!" Naruto yelled pointing an accusatory finger at the animal.

"My name's Rhoan and I'm warning you if you keep pointing that finger in my face I'll bite it off." Rhoan said with a menacing growl. Naruto hastily pulled his finger back.

"I'm Naruto- Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto answered back automatically.

"I over heard what you and the Hokage were discussing earlier and I have been looking for a person to teach my style too…" Rhoan said offhandedly his voice trailing off.

"Really!? Awesome! So are you going to teach me?" Naruto asked bouncing on the balls of his feet.

"Not yet. First we have to have my team mate Luna accept you." Rhoan said to the excited blond.

"So how do we find her?" Naruto asked impatient to start his training.

"Just look for the exploding building." Rhoan said in a sage like tone Naruto tilted his head to the side in obvious confusion,

"What exploding building?"

BOOM

"That one." Rhoan said smugly a smirk plastered on his face.

I also wanted to add my original Idea for Rhoan and Naruto's meeting my over seer (the person who makes sure my story doesn't absolutely suck) thought it should be put in

Naruto looked around curiously at the wolf sitting next to him. As promised Naruto had shown up at the bath houses at noon precisely after he had hid all the instant ramen that was in Iruka's house. He then sat down on one of the benches conveniently located right in front of the hot spring and waited. The wolf had shown up five minutes later and Naruto could've sworn that the damn animal was smirking at him. Naruto glared at the animal,

"Hey wolf, you said you were going to show me something interesting if I came to the bathhouses at noon so what did you want to show me?" Naruto asked as the animal scratched his ear with his leg.

"Alright first things first I have a name it's not hey you or wolf it is Rhoan but that's Rhoan-sama to you. Secondly I never said I would show you something interesting just that I wanted to show you something." Rhoan barked out at the blonde genin. Naruto jumped at the loud voice but calmed down. Rhoan snickered at Naruto's nervousness.

"I am currently looking for an apprentice." Rhoan said to Naruto which effectively stopped the blonde's oncoming rant.

"An apprentice? Why would a big talking black wolf want a human apprentice?" Naruto said scrunching up his face in confusion. Rhoan sighed exasperated.

"Shut up! You're not letting me explain a thing. Ok I need an apprentice to pass on what I know for obvious reasons, two most of the time I can roam around looking like a normal human, and three there is a certain Neko-chan after my fur and she has a soft spot for humans so I figured if I got an apprentice she would stop hunting me down." Rhoan said.

"What did you do to her?" Naruto asked.

"I stole all her manga." Rhoan muttered. Naruto's eyes narrowed.

"You bastard how can you separate anyone human or animal from the fine art of manga!?" Naruto shouted in outrage. Rhoan chuckled softly.

Meow. The sound of a cat made Rhoan's ears swivel in the direction of the noise. Rhoan turned his head to get a better look at the feline that had greeted them. Rhoan's eyes flew open as he stared in shock at the cat standing in front of him. His fur seemed to turn a nasty color of white. (If it were a crayon it would be Orochimaru white.) Naruto watched the scene unfold in front of him totally confused. Rhoan's fur bristled and he bared his canines at the feline in front of him.

"You know Tora!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly. Rhoan stiffened at the name.

"But I killed you! How can you be alive were you resurrected!?" Rhoan muttered. Tora smirked at his reaction.

"Payback's a bitch." Naruto rolled his eyes and picked up Tora. "If I take you to the senile old bastard's office now will I get paid?" Naruto muttered to himself before flinging the cat into the hot spring. Rhoan's mouth fell open.

"Did you just throw the demon cat into the hotspring?" Rhoan asked Naruto to hopefully clarify what he saw.

"Yup!" Naruto said grinning widely.

"I would sleep with a knife under your pillow kid." Rhoan said while shaking his head.

"How did you kill the cat?" Naruto asked not even slightly disturbed by Rhoan's warning.

"Well it happened about two days ago when I first arrived at the village. I was wandering around the woods minding my own business when that cat pounced on me! Usually I wouldn't care, actually nothing really bugs me except for my friend…and you, but anyway the cat covered me in its awful scent trying to throw off pursuers for some god damn reason so I chased it caught it in my mouth and well my wolf instincts took over and lets say the body was on one side of the forest and the head on another." Rhoan said acting out the part of tearing the cat's head off.

"That's great and all but I have some training to do so bye." Naruto got up to leave but was stopped by a Rhoan who was taking a bite out of Naruto's hand.

"What the hell?! Let go!" Naruto yelled.

"I never got your name kid." Rhoan asked blood dribbling down his muzzle.

"Uzumaki Naruto future Hokage of Konohagakure!" Naruto shouted.

"More like future patient at the insane asylum." Rhoan muttered to himself but Naruto still heard the comment.

"And you're a mutt." Naruto yelled back.

"I have many things that I could say to you but the author wants to keep this as T rated as possible." Rhoan muttered.

"He says I have to go to an asylum the idiot thinks we're in a book!" Naruto said to himself as he jogged off towards Konoha.

The original chapter was longer but I edited out a few parts leaving them for later chapters so that I can have a decent plot.
