A New Chance
Chapter 3: The Cyclops?!?
(Four Years Later, Konoha's Ninja Academy)
Today was the day that all the passing students got placed in their new teams. They were all 'politely' waiting for their team assignments, well all but one and their fox.
Hinata was sitting in the back right corner of the class, while Naruto was on her lap curled up; Hinata was just reflecting back on the past four years of her life, she could still remember the day after the attack quite well.
Apparently during the attack Naruto unleash a lot of demon chakra, thus scary everyone in the village making them think that Kyuubi had return to finish the job. Sadly because all traces of their attackers were all gone, no one believed her. Instead most of the village thought, she and that new fox, which much of the village thought it was Kyuubi's offspring, they were trying to destroy the village.
It didn't help either that the Hokage wouldn't say anything except that it was just training gone wrong. Since that day most villagers either stirred cleared of her or refused service to her. Some did try and beat her, only to find a very pissed fox with very sharp claws waiting for them.
For Naruto's part he was just thinking how he could have done this to Hinata. Every day now people grow more distant from her, even her own clan members; though Hinata just ignores this fact, at least that what Naruto thinks. Her father only pushes her harder and harder in training her forcing her to try and learn advance clan techniques, and her cousin Neji just puts her down every time she makes a small mistake. As for the rest of the clan they just glare at her, they still treat her as the Hyuuga heiresses, but that's about it. Naruto has said that he was so sorry for this, but Hinata just says it wasn't his fault. But he still blames himself in making her life as bad as his old one.
There were only a very few people that actually treats both of them normal. The first one being the Hokage, every now and then he would stop by and see how everything is going. He claims it's just to make sure nothing bad is happening, but both Hinata and Naruto have other ideas.
The next was Iruka-sensei; unlike all the other academy teachers he pays attention to Hinata. Naruto still remembers the first day Iruka-sensei got a good look at him, since Naruto tries and hides under the desk all day, it was just after class and Iruka saw Naruto on Hinata's shoulder leaving class. Well Iruka must of thought Naruto was playing some sort of prank on Hinata so he quickly walked up to the two and almost yell at Naruto for doing such a stupid henge. Needless to say both Hinata and Naruto were quit surprised at that, it took about a hour or so to explain everything but by the end of it Iruka was sad out how Naruto died but he did promise not to do anything against Sasuke. Ever since then Iruka started talking to both Hinata and Naruto after school when ever he could.
For the next person it was their trainer Tsume Inuzuka. She always treated them as if they were any other clan member from her clan, she would go through the exercises with them and teach them how to perform dual jutsu with each other. Of course she didn't show them any of her clan jutsus, but she did show them common known ones. Her son Kiba and his dog Akamaru would come over also to play with Hinata and Naruto, the four of them after some time became very good friends with each other.
The final people that were nice were Teuchi Ichiraku and his daughter Ayame Ichiraku. One day Naruto was starving for food after along day of training, and he couldn't wait to get back home. So he convinced Hinata to go to the Ichiraku Ramen shop, when they got there Ayame was about to take their order when she dropped her pen and paper. This got Teuchi attention and he looked what was wrong, he too dropped the bowl in his hands. They both started to remember their favorite load mouth customer. After a bit of explaining, they both understood what had happened. Luckily for Hinata's wallet Teuchi decided to give them an all you can eat night, by the end of it he truly wished he didn't, Naruto had eaten thirty bowls of all different flavors. After that Hinata had strictly limited him to three bowls a time.
They would have thought more, but Iruka came through the doors making everyone to look at him.
"Good morning class, I see everyone is here. Ok let's get started Team One your Jounin Instructor is…" He went on and both Hinata and Naruto just toned him out.
Iruka got through six of the nine teams when he had a slight frown form. "Team Seven your Jounin Instructor is Hatake Kakashi and your team members are Hyuuga Hinata, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke." With this it brought a frown on both Hinata and Naruto, Sakura of course cheered and then had nerves (or just plain stupid) to yell at Hinata not to try any thing to 'her' Sasuke-kun, Naruto just looked up and gave a load enough growl to Sakura to shut her up. Iruka seeing this gave a small chuckle and then went on. "Team Eight your Jounin Instructor is Yuhi Kurenai and your team members are Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino. Sadly since we do not have an even number of Genin you will have to wait for one to become available. Team Nine is still on duty, so the next is Team Ten. Team Ten your Jounin Instructor is Sarutobi Asuma and your members are Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, and Yamanaka Ino. Ok that's all the teams, everyone is dismissed for lunch. Please come back in an hour to meet your sensei."
(Current Day, School Lunch Grounds)
Team Seven decided to have lunch to gather, much to Naruto's great surprised. He thought for sure emo Sasuke would eat by himself and fan girl Sakura would try and catch him, leaving him and Hinata by themselves. But instead Sasuke asked if they should all eat together, that way they could get to know each other. Of course Sakura said yes the second he asked, as for Hinata, she just nodded and walked with them. They found an empty table and sat down. Sakura was the first to talk and surprising everyone there it wasn't about Sasuke.
"So Hinata, what's with that fox that you always have? I mean I thought only the Inuzuka clan had pets for ninja partners." Sakura asked.
"Oh well I found him when I was only eight and we just got along since then." Hinata answered.
"What's its name and is it any use in a battle?" Sasuke asked this time.
Naruto gave him a growl and Hinata talked. "His name is Naruto and he can do jutsu too."
"I didn't know anything but Inuzuka's dogs could do jutsu, can you show us one?" Sakura asked.
"Um sure, Naruto please make a wall." With that he got up on all fours and looked at the end of the table, with a quick bark a wall of chakra formed at the end of the table. Both Sasuke and Sakura got up and felt it, sure enough they couldn't pass though it.
"Wow that's cool! He can make a solid wall of chakra." Sakura said.
'Umf, these two might come in handing in battle.' Sasuke thought. "How big can he make it?" He then asked.
"If needed to he can make a seven foot radios dome around me or others." Hinata answered.
'Yep, those two will come in handy when needed.' Sasuke thought.
The rest of their lunch was uneventful; Sakura tried to ask Sasuke on a date, Sasuke just eating in silent, and Hinata playing with Naruto. The hour was coming up, so they went back to the class to meet their sensei.
(Current Day, Konoha's Ninja Academy)
Team Seven was waiting for their Jounin to come, everyone else had already gone. This left a very board time just waiting and waiting.
'Naruto can't you please tell me about Kakashi-sensei.' Hinata pleaded through their mental connection.
'No, I already told you that I can't because that would be cheating. And unless you order me to, I'm not going to say anything. Sides didn't I warn you to bring a good book just incase?'
'Well yes, but I never thought that I would have your old sensei.' Hinata gave up with a defeated sigh and just sat there. Naruto for his part sensing that Hinata was done curled up on her lap and began to sleep for the rest of the time.
-2 Hours Later
Hinata was just staring out the window hoping that this torture would end soon. She felt envies towards Naruto; he got to sleep on her lap while she had to stay awake in case Kakashi came. Oh how she wished she could be Naruto right now and just sleep it off, but no, she was a Hyuuga and had to be good at all times. Sometimes she hated being a Hyuuga; she sometimes wished she was a Nara or even an Akimichi. She was just about to give up and rest her head on the desk, when Naruto's ears perked up.
'Hey Hinata, Kakashi-sensei is coming. He should be in here in 3,2,1..'
Right on cue the door to the class opened; through the door came a man wearing a stander Jounin outfit with a mask to cover is bottom half of his face, he had his hitai-ite tilted to cover his left eye, and he had in his hands a little orange book.
"Meet me up on the roof." With that he disappeared in a puff of smoke and leaves.
The three Genin looked at each other with a face that said 'WE WAITED TWO FREAKING HOURES FOR THAT!' after that they just got up and left with that and headed to the school's roof.
(Current Day, Academy's Roof)
Team Seven got to the roof top and were greeted by their sensei and told to sit down.
"Yo, well then since I don't know you guys, you can introduce each other." Kakashi spoke out.
"Umm, sensei can you give us an example of what you want." Sakura asked.
"Ok. My name is Hatake Kakashi, I have many likes and dislikes, I have hobbies, and I don't really have a dream. Ok you with the fox, your up" Kakashi finished up, and then pointed at Hinata.
"Um, my name is Hyuuga Hinata, and I like my pet fox Naruto, I also like to pick flowers and press them, I dislike people who pick on others, my hobbies are playing with Naruto in the park, and my dream is to make my father proud of me." Hinata finished up.
'Hey Hinata, should we show them my other form. I mean if we are in combat and something comes up I think they be surprised seeing me change.'
'Well I guess your right but how are we going to explain it?'
'Leave that to me.'
'Ok' Kakashi was about to speak when Hinata cut him off. "Umm, excuse me but I forgot to tell you one more thing."
"Is it something we need to know?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes"
"Very well go ahead."
Hinata looked at Naruto and he ran in the middle of the group. Kakashi was about to ask what's up, but then a puff a smoke came. When the smoke cleared, out came a boy with a dark orange and black jacket and dark orange pants. He wore a leg holster on his right, a pouch on his waist, and a hitai-ite of the leaf only with black for the fabric. The only things that made Kakashi sure it wasn't some random shinobi, was that he had a tail and fox ears (think the Shippuden version only as a twelve year old). Needless to say everyone there, except Hinata, was shocked to see this.
"Umm, excuse me but who are you and why are you wearing that hitai-ite?" Kakashi asked.
"Well if the great 'copy-nin' can't even guess, then that's kind of sad. But to answer your questions; my name is Naruto, and yes I'm the same Naruto as Hinata's fox. As for the hitai-ite I'm a register shinobi of the leaf." Naruto proudly said.
"IF that's true, then why are you here? Shouldn't you be an assigned somewhere else? Also are you even a fox or just some person that is good at Henge?" Kakashi asked.
"Well to answer you yes I'm a fox, I'm just a 'special fox'. As for being with Hinata and being a real shinobi I have papers explaining everything signed by the Hokage." Naruto answered and gave Kakashi some papers from his jacket.
Kakashi didn't like what he saw, it was true. Naruto was a register shinobi, his rank would be what ever Hinata's is, and he even got an order stating that he will remain by Hinata. No matter how Kakashi looked at it, there was no way on arguing about this. "Fine, since your going to be with us you might as well introduce yourself."
"Well as you know my name is Naruto, my likes are being with Hinata, being scratch behind the ears, and ramen, my dislikes are anyone who is mean to Hinata, my hobbies are sleeping and training, and my dream is to show everyone that Hinata is a good person and not someone to be fear." Naruto said the last part with a bit of sadness. With that all done, he puffed backed into being his fox self and went to Hinata's side.
"Ok, now that is over your turn pinky." Kakashi said while pointing to Sakura.
"Well my name is Haruno Sakura, my likes," she turns to Sasuke and has a blush "my dislikes are anyone who is mean to Sasuke, my hobbies are reading, and my dream is," again turns to Sasuke and blushes.
"OK, your next." This time pointing to Sasuke.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I have a lot of dislikes and a very few likes, as for my dream, well, it's more of an ambition. I need to kill a certain man and revive my clan." Sasuke said in his usual emo voice.
"Good, now then tomorrow we will be doing a survival exercise in training ground seven at six in the morning." Kakashi was explaining.
"Um, sensei didn't we do enough survival exercise in the Academy?" asked Sakura.
"Well this isn't just any exercise, but you'll find out tomorrow. Oh and I wouldn't eat breakfast if I was you." With that he was off.
(Nightfall, Hokage's Office)
It was late at night and all but the Hokage had left for the day. Now one might think that this would be strange, but in fact its not. You see the Hokage usually doesn't leave until after midnight since of the p-a-p-e-r-w-o-r-k, but tonight was because of an other reason besides that evil never ending monster thing that people call paperwork. Tonight he was seeing someone that he needed to keep secret.
A knock came from the door signally that the person he needed to see had arrived. As the door opened it revealed a woman around in her mid thirty's, she had on a stander Jounin outfit with some sort of katana strapped to the back of her. But her most notable feature was her long red hair that reached to her waist.
The Hokage was the first one to talk after she had sat down. "Hello, I trust you know why I asked you to come here right?" The woman just nodded her head. "Good, then you know what to do then?" Again the woman just nodded her head. "Do you have any questions then?"
This time she spoke. "Just one, how am I supposed to tell him?"
The Hokage got a grin on his face. "That's for you to figure out. You had six years to prepare for this." With a slight sigh and a nod the woman was off.
(Early Next Morning, Hinata's Room)
Hinata was having a dream of a lifetime. She was dreaming that she just told Naruto about her true feeling and that he accepted them, he also to her great surprised returned them in a passionate kiss. Oh how she wish that the dream would never end, but then she felt something. Something very wet? She slowing opens her eyes to see Naruto licking her on the cheek.
"NARUTO!" She screamed while turning redder then a tomato.
"Ow … Hinata you know I have extremely good hearing. Why did you yell so loudly?" the small fox asked.
"Because you licked me!" Hinata yelled again, only a bit quieter this time.
"So, I had to get you up. I tried to pushing your sides, but you didn't respond. So the only thing left was to lick you, by the way you taste quite good."
Hinata got a weird look on her face. "You don't mean to eat, do you?" she asked somewhat scared.
"NO! I just mean that you have this sweat taste to you."
A small blush played on Hinata, but it was enough to distract her from seeing a larger one on Naruto. "Umm, let's get ready for the day."
"Umm, so. Let's get something to eat first."
"But I thought Kakashi-sensei told us not to eat?"
"He did, but he's going to be late as always."
"Umm, ok if you say so."
"Trust me; you thank me later for this." With that they got ready for the day and went to get a nice big breakfast.
(Ten o'clock, Current Day, Training Ground Seven)
It had been four flipping hours since Sasuke and Sakura both got there in the morning. During which time Sakura had tried and failed to ask Sasuke on a date, after which she spent the remainder of the time just trying to talk to him. He, through all of this just, either remained quiet or just did his "Hn" to her. Finally shortly before ten, both Hinata and Naruto showed up.
"Where were you two, you late like sensei is!" Sakura screamed out.
"Umm, well you see Sakura, Naruto said that sensei would be late again. So me and him got something to eat and took are time walking here." Hinata replied.
"Didn't sensei say not to eat breakfast yesterday?" Sasuke spook up.
"Nope, he said 'I wouldn't eat breakfast if I was you', meaning he never ordered us not to." Naruto spoke up, while still on Hinata's shoulder.
Now there was a tick mark on both Sasuke's and Sakura's faces. But before they could say anything a puff of smoke stopped them.
"Yo, sorry I'm late. But this black cat got in my way, so I had to take the long way around to get here. Hope I didn't make you wait to long." He said with an eye smile.
"No sensei, Naruto and I just got here." Hinata spoke out.
'Hmm, there's something about this Naruto. There's no way anyone would have know when I would've got here. Especially since I changed it up each year.'"Oh well that's good to hear, how about you two." Pointing to Sasuke and Sakura.
"We have been here since SIX in the morning!" Sakura yelled out.
"Sorry about that, now then before we can start we need to wait for one more person to get here." Kakashi informed them.
Naruto was surprised to hear this. He never had to wait for someone else; something was up, but what? But before he could say anything there was a other puff of smoke.
This time it revealed a woman with a Jounin outfit on. She had long red hair with a katana on her back. The woman had a smile on her face with her eyes also making a 'Kakashi's smile' smile. "Hello, my name is Namikaze Kushina, and I'm your co-sensei." The woman now known as Kushina said.
All for Genin jaws dropped at this. Sakura was the first one to recover and the first one to voice the question that was on everyone's mind. "Umm why are you a co-sensei, I mean is it only suppose to be just one sensei to team?"
This time it was Kakashi who spoke. "You see Sakura, the Hokage wants to see if having two different Jounin instructors is better then one. So as of now there will be two of us. Anyways on to the test shell we. Your test is simple really; all you need to do to pass is get one of theses two bells from me or Kushina. Whoever does gets to eat lunch with me and Kushina, the other/others that don't get a bell well be tied to those logs over there and force to watch us eat. Also before we start, whoever doesn't pass well be sent back to the academy for a whole year." Kakashi finished up with an eye smile. "Ready begin." With that both him and Kushina was gone in a puff of smoke.
"Hey guys, before you all leap off into different directions. I have a plan to get everyone to pass, so listen…" Naruto explained his plan. They agreed to it and set off to use it.
-Hour later
Kakashi and Kushina was board right now. It had been an hour now and not a single attempt had been made to get a bell. Kushina looked over at Kakashi.
"So you think they gave up Kakashi?" Asked Kushina.
"Hmm, will if they did that would make it easier for us." Kakashi said with a eye smile
Kushina just rolled her eyes while thinking how lazy Kakashi had become. Just then a small yellow fox came into view, it slowly approached both Kakashi and Kushina. 'Oh come on Naruto, you think I wouldn't know it's you. Here I thought you were better then that. But I'll play your little game, for now anyways.' Was nearly the same thought of both Kushina and Kakashi. Kakashi wanting to see what he was up to pulled out some food pellets that was laced with laxative and placed them in his hand.
The fox slowly wonder to him and stopped about five feet away just looking at Kakashi. 'So Naruto wants to play the part of a stray fox, will ok let's see if he'll take the pellets.' Kakashi placed the pellets on the ground and moved a good foot or two away, seeing this the fox slowly went over and sniffs the food. After a bit the fox turns its nose to the pellets and stares back to Kakashi. 'He must of smelled the laxative, oh well guess I should end this now.' Before the fox had any time to react, Kakashi was behind it and grabbed its tail. The fox let out a quick yelp of pain.
"Knock it off Naruto, I know it's you." Kakashi said lazily.
"How could it be me, if I'm standing right next to Hinata?" Both Naruto and Hinata came out into plain view. "By the way, I don't like having other foxes being hurt by you Cyclops."
Several thoughts ran through Kakashi head. 'Crap, did I just hurt a random fox. But I thought for sure it was Naruto, but he's over there. It can't be a bunshin since I see the grass lying down. Wait did he just call me a Cyclops?" Kakashi quickly put the small fox down and tried to pet it.
Meanwhile Kushina was trying her best to not to laugh at Naruto's new nickname for Kakashi. Sadly for her she was losing the battle and she started to laugh out loud. During this she didn't notice a certain raven haired boy come up to her and grabbed the bell from her.
Back with Kakashi, he was reaching down to try and pet the fox he hurt earlier, however the fox quickly bolted to his left side and snag the bell. It then ran to both Hinata and Naruto, and puffed into another Naruto.
"Wait, how, when. What the hell just happen here?" Both Kushina and Kakashi was completely confused; one moment there was a fox, the next was two solid Narutos and two missing bells.
"Here maybe this would explain things." The Naruto closes to Hinata said. He then puffed and he was gone, leaving just the other with the bell and Sasuke now coming up to him.
"A Kagebunshin, that's how." Kakashi said to himself.
"A trick to make me laugh." Kushina said to herself.
"Bingo, you didn't know that I knew it. So when the real me got caught by you. My clone and Hinata came out to save me. Then my clone made a joke about Kakashi-sensei's one eye to make you laugh so that Sasuke could get the bell from you. Then when you let your gourd down, I grabbed the bell and came over here." The real Naruto explained while grinning through the whole thing.
"Very smart, looks like you, Hinata, and Sasuke pass."
Both Hinata and Sasuke shock their heads 'no'. Then Sakura came out of no where. "Sakura I want you to have this bell, you deserve it more then me." Hinata spoke.
"No, Hinata you should have it." Sasuke said while handing his to Hinata.
"No, Sasuke should have it. He deserves it more then me." Sakura replied.
"Are you all saying that you're teammates deserves it more then each other?" Kakashi asked everyone. They all nodded their heads 'yes'. "Well then, I only have one thing to say…" He waited until everyone was looking at him. "You pass. So you came up with the plan?"
"Naruto." Everyone said.
"Well since you all passed why not I treat all of you out for lunch?" Everyone hearing this cheered loudly for a free meal.
Before Hinata and Naruto left how ever Kushina pulled them a side.
"I need to talk to you two alone, meat me at this location." She said while handing Hinata a piece of paper. With that she puffed away.
"Naruto what do you think?" Hinata asked.
"Well we need to find out why she has the same last name of me, so I say we go." Hinata nodded and Naruto changed back into a fox and jumped on her shoulder.
(Current day, Somewhere in Konoha)
Both Hinata and Naruto arrived at the place that the piece of paper said to go. They where now standing in font of a large clan house. The location was deep in the forest behind the Hokage mountain. The clan house looked bigger then the Uchiha's by a long shot. The outside showed gated fences that enclosed the estate from the surrounding forest. Then from the outside they could see that there was four one story buildings at each corner of the estate. After that there were small building that cluster the inner sides and then a huge two story building at the center of it all.
As they were about to enter the gates, Kushina appeared in a puff.
"Glad to see you two. Now before you ask me Naruto, for why I have the name Namikaze, it's because I'm….your….mom." Kushina said in the smallest of voice for the last bit.
Sadly it wasn't small enough as both Hinata and Naruto heard it. And both now had extreme bug eyes and jaws on the floors.
"Your…your…my…m-mom!?!?" Naruto yelled.
A/N: So sorry I didn't update this earlier but I couldn't decided on how the story should go. So I decided to be nice to Naruto and have Kushina join the story now instead of later. Also below is a map of the clan house. Also before I forget I would like to thank creitros for correcting me in 'sama' for the suffix.
