Chapter Four: Meetings, schemes, and genin tests
"What a drag" Shikamaru voiced as the little group sat on the roof of Naruto's apartment like they did twice a week. Spring Break was over and now they had to return to class to be assigned Genin teams, meaning this may be the last time they can hang out like this for awhile. Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Kiba, Hinata, Tenten, and Naruto were eating a special breakfast made by Hinata and Tenten that everyone was enjoying. "This is great Hinata-chan what did you use to make this eggs taste so good?" Choji asked as he was stuffing his face. Hinata giggled slightly, "Nutmeg and a dash of Cinnamon gives it that flavor" she smiled as she handed him another plate. "I can't believe bacon could taste so good, you guys have to do this more often then twice a week" Kiba voiced as he happily munched away with his puppy Akamaru. "Well maybe if we all get some time off we can do this again, I want to try Naruto-kuns double chocolate delight cookies" Ino smiled as she reached for a slice of buttered toast. "Yeah, even Shino would say they're the best" Tenten voiced as she finished up. "Well we've got another thirty minutes before we have to get to the academy so I say we relax a bit and play truth or dare" Hinata smiled and everyone agreed.
Uchiha District...
Sasuke was afraid, very afraid. Why was Sasuke so afraid? Well he had a certain pink haired obsessed fan girl outside his house waiting for him, a pink haired fan girl named Sakura, the president of his fan club. "SASUKE-KUN! COME ON WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" She screamed trying to get her beloved out of his house like she did every day. Sasuke refused to be seen with the fan girl, not when his dobe was still out there and running loose with the Hyuga, "Go away Sakura I am not decent!" he screamed. "Well then I'll come in and help you get decent" Sakura smiled evilly and started forcing the door open. Sasuke freaked and braced the door trying to keep Sakura outside. "COME ON SASUKE-KUN LET ME IN!" She yelled banging against the door. Sasuke silently prayed to kami to rescue him from this terrible fate but he won't cause Sasuke deserves to suffer cause he's Kishamoto's favorite.
Hyuga Complex...
For once in his life Neji had a real smile on his face. Today the new genin teams would be decided and he was hoping to be paired with the cute blonde Naruto. However knowing that Hinata would be one of Naruto's teammates made him slightly angry but he would deal with it when the time came. Also something was puzzling him this morning, why didn't Hinata ever return to the complex last night? He remembered that she was ordered to spend the entire day with Naruto but that didn't mean she slept over too right? Right? He'd deal with it when he got the chance but for now he'd deal with the awful knots that were in his hair that Tenten normally took care of every morning before training.
Academy...
Kakashi sighed as he look over the chosen pairings made by the Hokage and couldn't understand why Tsunade would pair up those three. He could understand Hinata and Naruto being together cause they helped each other out and were close friends but why she paired this person with them made him question is she was sane or not. "Well it should be fun to get their reaction" Kakashi giggled as he prepared for class in twenty minutes.
Naruto's Apartment...
"Naruto truth or dare?" Ino asked.
"Truth" Naruto answered.
"Alright, who is the person most precious to you" In replied
"That's easy, Tsunade is most precious to me" Naruto answered with a smile getting a sad smile from Hinata.
"Why?" asked Tenten
"She treats me like I'm her son and I look to her as my mother" Naruto replied.
"Well anyway we're about out of time so I suggest we get moving to the academy" Kiba voiced as everyone got up and gathered their things. The group split off towards their homes while Naruto headed towards the academy and all the while Naruto had a feeling things were going to be very unusual around here.
Five Minutes Later…
"Kami please kill me now!" Naruto screamed inside his mind as he was running from his many nameless fans while heading towards the academy. Apparently all these nameless fans were genin that had the chance of getting Naruto as their partner and they all wanted a piece of him a little bit early. Naruto cursed himself for wearing sandals today; he couldn't run normally in these things. He was saved when he rounded a corner and bumped into Hinata and Neji who were also heading to the academy. "Neji-kun! Hinata-chan! SAVE ME!" He screamed and ducked behind them just as the mob rounded the corner. "Hand him over Hyuga's and maybe we won't beat you up too much" one of the nameless genin voiced pulling out a kunai. "You shall never have him, fate will not allow it" Neji smirked as he settled into his normal battle stance. "And why's fate against us Mr. stuck up Hyuga?" a girl sneered at the brunette. "Because you failed the moment I stood in your way!" Neji shouted and charged the group.
"Hyuga Style Taijutsu! Eight Trigrams Storm Dance!"
Neji started beating the shit out of everyone as Hinata comforted Naruto but soon the group focused on her instead of Neji. "You won't get Naruto-kun!" she screamed and chakra started whipping around her.
"Rotation!"
A shield of chakra blew them all back while keeping her and the blonde Goth safe from harm. "Let's finish this Hinata-sama!" Neji called as he settled into his 8-Trigram stance, alright Neji-Nissan!" Hinata replied.
"Eight Trigram sixty-four palm!"
"Protected Eight Trigram Sixty-Four Palm!"
The two beat the group senseless and left Naruto starring in awe.
'Note to self, never piss of Neji-kun or Hinata-chan' he thought as they dusted themselves off. "You two were AWESOME!" he cheered as he hugged both of them making them blush. "Your welcome Naruto-kun just try to avoid fans in the future alright" Neji spoke with a small grin. "Yes Naruto-kun please come to us if you ever need help" Hinata voiced with a smile. "You got it" Naruto smiled.
Together the three marched to the academy, unaware of the events that were about to take place.
Everyone was here, today was the day they were put on genin teams and they couldn't wait. While everyone else was sitting and talking, Naruto was learning the basic gentle fist stance and moves from Hinata and Neji. After watching them beat the shit out of that mob Naruto wanted to learn Juken too so he could do that. The Hyuga were more then happy to help him learn, way too happy since they got to feel Naruto up as they helped him shift his body into the stances.
Kakashi came into the room with a smile on his face, or what looked like a smile thanks to that dumb mask of his. "Alright everyone settle down so I can announce your genin teams" he voiced and the room went quiet.
Team one through six we skip because we don't care about them.
Team Seven will be Sasuke, Sai, and Sakura, Instructor is Iruka
Team Eight will be Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji, Instructor in Asuma
Team Nine will be Neji, Lee, and Tenten, Instructor is Gai
And Team Ten will be the only four man team. Naruto, Hinata, Kabuto, and a new student named Taku. Instructor is Anko.
"Do you know Kabuto Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked her team mate. "Yeah he's alright, he uses medical jutsu and ninjutsu, and he's also very helpful and friendly" Naruto smiled. "Glad to know you think so highly of me Naruto-kun" a voiced said from the doorway. A silver haired teen stepped in wearing a purple shirt, cloth like belt and purple pants; he wore glasses and bracers on his arms. "Kabuto-kun!" Naruto cheered and leapt at him, giving him a cute hug that made most people furious.
"Nice to see you too Naruto-kun" Kabuto chuckled as he returned the hug and smiled at the killing intent coming from most people in the room. Releasing the adorable blonde Kabuto smiled at the two genin, "I was sent here by Anko-sensei to pick you two up, we have to meet her in an hour at the training field so let's go" he smiled and lead them out of the room. Leaving a seething Neji and a pissed off Sasuke.
Training field...
Naruto, Hinata, and Kabuto arrived at their assigned field to find there sensei and their mystery team mate waiting for them. Taku had long raven colored hair and charcoal colored eyes. He wore a standard black shinobi shirt and pants with what appeared to be Anbu class grey armor. On each of his sides was a silver katana engraved with black flames.
"Pleased to meet you Naruto, Hinata, and Kabuto. I am Taku" he bowed to the three. "Alright you little gaki's gather around and we'll get started!" Anko stated and the five settled into a small circle. "Alright you with the blue hair start" Anko pointed to Hinata.
"My name is Hinata Hyuga; I like Naruto-kun, pleasant music and reading romantic novels. I dislike pricks, and people who think they are better just because they are from a stuck up clan. My hobbies are practicing medical jutsu and learning medical skills, as for my dream... well I want to help restore my clan to its former glory and wipe away their stubbornness" she finished up with a smile on her face.
"Nice goal Hinata-chan, your family needs a serious kick in the ass, now you with the blonde hair go" Anko smiled.
"Yosh! I am Naruto Uzumaki; I like dango, writing, and developing new jutsu. I dislike perverts who chase me and those who would harm those who are precious to me. My hobbies are completing unfinished jutsu and making my special Chocolate Double Delight Cookies. My dream is to find my father and kick his ass for leaving me when I was born" Naruto finished with a look of anger on his face.
Anko felt for the boy, the council had destroyed all records of Naruto and his parents to "Protect" him from his father's enemies. She was also wondering if Naruto knew of his "burden but thought to deal with that when the time came."You with silver hair go" Anko sighed.
"My name is Kabuto; I like medical jutsu and studying various forms of medical practice. I dislike untrustworthy people and those who would not protect what is precious to them. My hobbies are training and increasing my chakra reserves, my dream is to surpass Tsunade and become the greatest Medic in the world" Kabuto finished with a smile.
'A medical ninja? According to the reports he's more suited in Taijutsu then medical jutsu. Perhaps the reports were wrong or they simply got the wrong kid' Anko thought as she eyed the silver haired youth. "Finally you the emo looking one" Anko chuckled.
"My name is Taku; I have few likes, many dislikes and no hobbies but training. I specialize in genjutsu and my goal is to become the greatest genjutsu master in the world" Taku finished up.
'This kid is so serious and I didn't learn shit from his intro but something seems off, he's masking his chakra too well to be a genin but according to the reports he was training under Itachi when he was younger. I'll have to keep an eye on him and Kabuto as well'
"Well now that we know each other I want you to meet me here tomorrow for your genin test, I suggest you sleep early and eat a decent breakfast cause with you being my first ever genin team I don't want you to fail" Anko smiled and poofed away.
Naruto left with Hinata to the Hyuga complex, Kabuto went to the hospital and Taku simply vanished.
"Soon Naruto-kun you will be mine, once I've gained your trust" A certain raven haired genin thought as his eyes flashed red.
The next day they were given Anko's test, well if you really call it a test. Last night there had been a change in teams and Kakashi was forced to take team seven as a punishment. Now Anko not liking perverts decided that her team was going to obtain Kakashi's favorite little orange book while she took care of an important task. They were currently speeding through the trees heading towards Training Ground Seven.
"How are we going to pull this off? Any ideas Kabuto? Taku?" Naruto asked as they slowed down. "Well I have a plan but for it to work the timing will have to be perfect and we may need to deal with Kakashi-sensei's team too" Kabuto voiced. "Please tell us Kabuto-san" Hinata asked. "Well first since he is a jonin I suggest we deal with his team and then deal with him, Taku can you handle them?" Kabuto asked looking to the raven haired boy. "It won't be a problem, they will foolishly fall for my traps" Taku smirked.
"Alright then, while Taku deals with them the rest of us shall locate Kakashi, Naruto and I shall engage him and Hinata will watch with her Byakugan and wait for a chance to snare his perverted book" Kabuto voiced. "A stable plan it is indeed, I shall locate and take out his team" Taku voiced and vanished in a puff of smoke.
Sasuke, Sai, Sakura...
"What are we going to do Sasuke-kun? If we don't get those bells we'll fail and won't become ninja!" Sakura screeched in her highly pitched annoying voice. "Shut up! I'm trying to think here!" Sasuke yelled.
Suddenly a very thick fog blanketed the area and a gust of wind blew the three genin away from each other. Up in the trees a raven haired figure smirked before heading towards his first target.
Sakura...
"Sasuke-kun where are you!" Sakura screamed and then froze when she sensed someone. Even with the dense fog she could make out a figure coming towards her. "SASUKE-KUN!" She screamed and glomped the figure without actually looking to see who it really was.
"How amusing" the dark evil voice said with a chuckle. Sakura froze and slowly looked up to stare into red Sharingan eyes. "You're not Sasuke-kun!" she screamed before she went silent.
Sai...
"This is annoying, I wish they would hurry up and fail us so I can go back to drawing" he sighed as he looked through his art book. He never noticed the figure behind him grinning evilly. (Sorry but I like Sai so I won't do any thing bad to him)
Sasuke...
"Damn it where the hell are they and what is with this fog?" he spoke to himself. He couldn't sense anything and hated the fact he was so weak that simple fog could be blocking his senses.
"How weak"
A cold, familiar voice spoke and Sasuke froze. Slowly turning around he gazed up into a tree to see a shadowed figure with Sharingan eyes. "YOU!" He screamed before getting slammed into a tree. "Why are you so weak? What have you been doing all this time little brother?" Itachi smirked. "Damn it, I'll kill you!" he screamed before flying through hand seals.
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!"
Sasuke fired a stream of fire at Itachi he merely vanished. "Genjutsu?" Sasuke voiced before expelling chakra from his body, "Release!" He shouted and the fog faded. There was no Itachi in sight and he spotted Sakura and Sai unconscious a few feet away.
"Shadow Clone Smash!"
The ground under Sasuke exploded and he was sending flying through several trees. Struggling to get up he looked to see Itachi with a frown on his normally expressionless face. "Why are you so weak? It is because you lack something that I don't" Itachi explained calmly walking to his fallen brother.
"You Lack Hatred and Something Precious"
Then Sasuke's sight went dark. "Henge Jutsu" Itachi voiced before transforming into Taku, "Kabuto-san, Kakashi's team has been dealt with. Proceed with your plan" he spoke into a small radio. "Roger that Taku, fall back to our location in case we need back up" Kabuto replied.
They observed their target; the small book was currently in Kakashi's hands while he was pretending to remain oblivious to his surroundings. He had sensed his teams chakra singles flare a short while ago and now he could sense three high level chakra signatures behind him plus a forth one on the way. He smiled under his mask; he was going to enjoy this and hoped he didn't have to hold back.
"About time you got here Taku, what took you so long?" Naruto asked the raven haired genin. "Got lost on the road of life" was his reply which made Kabuto snort. "Don't copy the copy cat Taku-san, now what do we do about Kakashi? He is jonin rank after all" Kabuto voiced. "I doubt a blitz attack will work against him, and I don't think we can catch him off guard" Naruto said as he watched his former teacher.
"I believe a simple answer for a complicated problem" Hinata voiced catching everyone's attention. "What do you mean Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked and Hinata got an evil smirk. "Naruto have you ever wanted to indulged into Kakashi's Pervertedness?"
Moments later...
'Are they going to wait all day or am I going to have to take action?' Kakashi thought as he turned the page. "Hey Kakashi-sensei!" a familiar voice was heard and he turned to see Naruto standing there with a smile on his face. "Oh Naruto-kun I'm surprised your here by yourself" Kakashi replied as Naruto walked up to him. "Hey Kakashi-sensei can I ask you a question?" Naruto asked turning his head to the side in a cute matter. "Of course Naruto-kun" Kakashi answered.
Can you lower your mask for a moment?" Naruto asked. "Now why would I do that?" Kakashi asked curious. "Cause I wanna give you something special" Naruto smiled. "Fine just be quick about it, I like wearing my mask" Kakashi sighed and slowly lowered his mask. The second it was lowered Naruto jumped Kakashi and crashed his lips into his in a passionate kiss. Kakashi was so surprised he dropped his book and wrapped his arms around Naruto as they crashed to the ground.
While Naruto and Kakashi were making out Kabuto came in and swiped the book while Taku took a photo of the two for blackmail later. Hinata was too busy also taking photo's with her digital camera to help. Kabuto and Taku poofed away as Naruto and Kakashi parted for air, "Wow sensei, your good" Naruto smiled, his lips red and bruised. "What was that for Naruto?" Kakashi said trying to catch his breath. "I always give kisses to those precious to me, you just joined the list" Naruto smiled before picking himself up and offering a hand to Kakashi. "See ya around Kakashi-sensei!" he waved as he ran off.
'Naruto Uzumaki, you are quite a surprise compared to others' Kakashi smiled before reaching to get his book only to notice it was missing.
"NANI!"
With Team Anko...
"I guess Kakashi-sensei noticed his book is missing" Kabuto voiced with a smirk. "Very nice job Naruto-kun, I will enjoy selling these photos to your many fans" Taku chuckled. "You wouldn't, I'd have every damn pervert in every elemental country after my ass" Naruto shouted. "Relax, just remember when I ask for a favor make sure you do it" Taku smirked. "Blackmail huh? Should have known" Naruto sighed.
"Well we have the book and got a great show and black mail so I'd guess when can say this is success" Hinata laughed "Enough with that now where can we find Anko-sensei?" Naruto voiced as they picked up the pace. "Knowing Anko, she is at a local dango stand" Taku replied as they headed into the village.
What happened to Sasuke and his pink haired bitch? Well Kakashi was so angry that his book was gone he failed them, Sai didn't really care cause he was secretly Anbu anyway. (I LOVE SAI!)
Dango Stand...
"So gaki's you finished the mission already huh?" Anko asked as her team walked into the building. "Mission successful sensei" Hinata smiled handing Anko the perverted book. "I shall enjoy using this against that perv and all four of you pass so report to the Hokage tower tomorrow at eight in the morning for our first C ranked mission!" Anko cheered.
"Nani? C ranked? But we just became genin!" Naruto gasped. "Listen gaki, when your my genin you don't so those crappy D ranked missions, only the best for my genin" Anko smiled as she ruffled his hair. "I think I'm going like having a psycho for a teacher" Naruto smiled as his team mates.
