Ch 4
"KAGE BUNSHIN no JUTSU!"
A multitude of smoke appeared and 101 Naruto's appeared surrounding Kakashi.
'So the rumors are true he can use Shadow Clones...and quite a bit too hmmm this should be interesting' Kakashi thought as he prepared for battle.
'Alright so far so good everything's going according to plan alright lets begin' Naruto thought as he ordered his clone army to attack.
ELSEWHERE
"Hmmm I wonder were Takeru-kun went, it sucks that I have to beat him to become a ninja but I..." Asuna thought out loud until she heard a twig snap "Who's there"
A shadowy figure slowly walked out of the woods and to Asuna's surprise it was a shirtless Takeru.
"Ohhh my...Takeru-kun you look sooo...hot" Asuna said dreamily
"ASUNA-CHAN I WANT TO BE YOURS AND YOURS ALONE" Takeru said in the smoothest voice
Asuna blushed heavily "Oh my..." see said as she watched the little sun spots glisten of his shirtless skin
Suddenly more and more Takeru's came out of the woods shirtless and all started walking up to her letting her feel their shirtless bodies. There were hearts in her eyes and soon it became too much for her and she let oh a loud girlish scream and passed out with a nosebleed.
Up in the tree the real fully clothed Takeru face palmed himself 'I dont know what's worse that she fell for my Harem Genjutsu or that I used a similar jutsu to Naruto...geez' He hopped down from the tree and proceed to tie her up.
Kirito was jumping from tree to tree looking for either his sister or Takeru, when he heard a loud scream. 'So he got to her first well that saves me the trouble of taking out my own sister now to just get rid of this clown'
He kept jumping for a while till he saw Takeru standing in a small clearing inside the forest. 'Oh he's going down' Kirito said as he pulled out some shuriken and fired them at an unsuspecting Takeru only for it to poof into a log.
Hidden in the trees above Takeru smiled "Gotcha baka KATON: HIBASHIRI (Fire Release: Running Fire)"
"Huh" Kirito looked up but it was too late as a long stream of fire was running down the side of a tree then on the ground headed for him. He tried his best to jump and dodge but it seemed like the fire was endless and locked on him soon he tripped up and landed hard with his back against the tree. The fire took the form of a dragon and headed right for him.
Hayate was sitting on a rock in the clearing waiting for a victor when he heard the second scream of the day. He chuckled to himself 'This should be interesting and I think it's just about over'. Sure enough Takeru walked into the clearing with both siblings tied up and knocked out, he sat them down and sighed. "So did I pass Hayate-sensei?"
TRAINING GROUND 7
They just kept coming Kakashi had to admit that as he kicked, punched and dodged many Naruto clones. "I wonder how long you can keep this up Naruto" he asked
"As long as it takes to get those bells" all the Naruto's yelled
Kakashi continued to be on defense suddenly two out of the multitude attacked him head on but there was something different about these two, they moved in sync. Kakashi caught ones leg as it threw a kick and then caught the other ones punch and pushed them both away. "That all you got"
One of the two clones he was just fighting performed a few hand signs and called out "KATON: GOKAKYU no JUTSU (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)".
"WHAT! Genin can't do fire jutsu takes to much chakra, there's no way" Kakashi seem truly surprised
That 'Naruto' blew fire from his mouth, it formed into a fire ball then the other Naruto yelled "WIND RELEASE: STREAM he inhaled a large amount of air and them blew it aimed at the fire turning the medium sized fire ball into a large one.
Kakashi's visible eye widened 'He really got the whole jest of if you're not prepared to kill me part' he thought as he sank into the ground as the fire hit the spot were he was standing.
All the Naruto's looked around and could find no Kakashi suddenly one of the clone's legs was grabbed and he was taken into the ground. This surprised all the other Naruto's and they jumped away a couple going into the water. Kakashi resurfaced and took out more clones then turned to the one in the ground as it struggled to get free.
"So which one are you real or clone" Kakashi asked as the clone poof out and Sasuke was left in place "Well well so you were the one who pulled that fire ball jutsu impressive"
While Kakashi taunted Sasuke, deep in the woods two figures were preparing their attack. The real Naruto and Hinata spoke softly.
"Naruto-kun...are you...sure about this...what if I mess...up" Hinata asked softly
"Hey you'll do great Hinata-chan I believe in you DATTEBAYO now lets go" Naruto replied and that seemed to quell her nervousness abit as she placed her feet in his cupped hands. Hoisted her in the air towards the clearing where Kakashi was.
While flying through the air she activated her Kekkei Genkai "BYAKUGAN"
"So you transformed into Naruto and thought to take me by surprise hmmm clever but it didn't work now I wonder where Naruto and Hinata are." Kakashi asked looking left or right.
"It's not over yet Sensei" Sasuke said with a smirk as he too poofed away
"WHAT..." Kakashi yelled till he heard something he looked in the sky as could see something but it was blurry do to the sun blocking a bit of his view. As it got closer he could see it was Hinata coming down like a missile with an open hand strike that glowed...
"Oh no that's the Hyuga Clan's Taijutsu" Kakashi said
"JUKEN" the young Hyuga shouted out she knew that her attack wasn't strong enough to do real damage yet but if it would help Naruto-kun's plan then she would use it. Kakashi jumped back before the attack hit him and Hinata almost hit the ground before a blur swept her away.
'Someone caught her' Kakashi thought still in mid dodge he hadn't landed yet but he noticed it was Naruto as he held Hinata up bridal style 'Awww that's cute and...' The sound of air whizzing by him brought he out of his stupor as he notice Sasuke passing him practically grazing his size going the other way both men landed and Sasuke was joined by his two teammates.
"Well you three seem to be on top of things but you'd better hurry it's almost noon..." Kakashi said as he noticed them just standing there all with a smile on there face "...what's so funny?"
Naruto nodded and both Sasuke and Hinata held up the two bells in their hands. Kakashi froze for a moment before his visible eye almost popped out of his head as he looked down at his side and sure enough they had gotten the bells he turned around an saw a clone standing on the water disappear. "WHAT! BUT BUT BUT HOW?"
Hinata started "This was...possible...because of...Naruto-kun's plan"
"Yeah the little knuckled head's plan actually worked" Sasuke smiled
"Oh really and care to elaborate on this plan Naruto" Kakashi asked smiling he was proud to have been slightly bested by his students
"Well this was actually Plan 2 of 3, we had no idea what you were planning so once I assessed everyone's strengths and weaknesses I improvised..." After explaining his entire plan to his sensei Naruto stopped with a smiled "...and that's how we got the bells from you.
Kakashi was utterly shocked his student had come with this plan to utilize teamwork to achieve their goal and the team executed it perfectly. 'Akoshi-san trained and raised him well; he put his brain to work and came out on top very good Naruto-kun'. "Well I must say I am very impressed with all of you. You worked together; you understood why we placed you on squads. This test was meant to test your teamwork and..." All three Genin awaited his next words on baited breathes. "You pass" Kakashi finished all three Genin froze before...
"ALRIGHT!" Naruto jumped in the air as Sasuke just smirked and Hinata held her hand to her heart.
"I passed...Im a...ninja now" she smiled
"We're all ninja now Hinata-chan" Naruto said still very much excited
Kakashi gave an eye smile "Im proud of you all you're the first squad that ever succeeded, the others did exactly what I said and fell into every trap. A ninja must see through deception, in the ninja world those who break the rules are scum that true, but those who abandon their friends are worst than scum"
"Hmph we're all on this squad..." Sasuke started
"...and we're...all in this...together" Hinata added softly
"That's right the three of us are one DATTEBAYO!" Naruto said excitedly as he wrapped his arms around his teammate's necks. Sasuke smiled but quickly pushed him off; Hinata on the other hand...fainted. Luckily it was a short spell and once she woke up Kakashi's smiled
"The test is over everyone passes Squad 7 starts its first mission tomorrow" Kakashi finished with a thumbs up "Lets go home."
LATER THAT NIGHT
"CONGRATIONS!" Rang throughout the Yoto house as the Yoto's, Hayate, Kakashi, Iruka and even the Hokage celebrated Takeru and Naruto.
"...And that's how we got the bells from Kakashi-sensei" Naruto bragged as Kakashi sweat dropped and the other laughed
"We'll its getting late but before we wrap up this party I think Akoshi-kun has something for both you boys."
"Alright today you are finally Konoha Shinobi the road will get rough so in order for you to be prepared for that road we give you these..." Akoshi started as he picked up a long case and handed it to Takeru along with a scroll. "...for my grandson a new jutsu and the Hikari"
Takeru opened the case and saw that it was a sword with a wooden handle and a straight blade not like a katana, suddenly tears fell slowly from his face "Ojiisan...this is..."
"Your mother's Sword I was instructed to give this weapon to you once you became a Genin and..." Akoshi was stopped when Takeru ran up and hugged him sobbing
"Thank you Ojiisan" Takeru said sobbing 'Kaa-san I promise to make you proud' he silently vowed to his mother as he wiped the tears from his face and took his seat.
"Now for Naruto-kun who has become a second grandson to me" Akoshi smiled "A scroll containing a new jutsu and..." Akoshi nodded and Maruya brought over a package and handed it to Naruto who quickly opened it and noticed it was a new outfit.
"We felt the need to give you some new clothes dear." she paused "No offense but a bright orange jumpsuit doesn't scream ninja" Maruya said pinching his cheeks everyone chuckled at his reaction. The outfit was...(Meh Im lazy so sue me lol anyway the outfit is pretty much based off Eren Jeager's outfit in Attack on Titan...if you haven't watched that show do it...it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE anyway check out the link on my page to get a clear view of the outfit. Make the jacket and the pants black, the shirt white, the straps orange and regular ninja shoes.)
Akoshi smiled "Dont worry there's an added bonus the jacket holds a Hidden Kunai Mechanism, its on a spring loaded wire just flick you wrist and extend or retract the kunai
"Awesome thank you!" Naruto said as he smiled a wide foxy smile
The night got late and soon one by one they flied out as Kakashi was leaving through the front door (I know I know totally ooc but just go with it) and much to his surprise Naruto was waiting for him leaning on a tree.
"Ahh my new student, what can I do for you Naruto." Kakashi said as he walked passed him and stopped an inch pass the tree.
"Sensei, were you ever in the Anbu Black Ops?" Naruto asked almost quietly
Kakashi paused "Hmmm not that I recall what makes you ask that"
Naruto sighed "Oh no reason, except I was just thinking about the past and the day me and Takeru were attack because of..." Naruto paused and looked at his stomach "...what's inside me and we were saved by the captain of the Anbu and he oddly enough had sliver spiky hair just...like...you...Kakashi-sensei"
Kakashi sighed who ever said this kid was dimwitted truly underestimated him "Hmmm it would seem you've figured it out well part of it anyway...look Naruto-kun yes it was me I was charged to look after you but that's all I can say for now and..."
"Thank you Sensei..." Naruto smiled another foxy smile "...that's all I wanted to say was thanks to the man who saved me and my best friends life."
'Naruto-kun...' Kakashi smiled as he turned around and with a chaste thumbs up and an eye smile replied "Yosh!" and disappeared in a smoke bomb.
Naruto smiled and then yawned and returned to his room after bidding everyone a goodnight, he settled in his bed and was soon fast asleep. Well within the night Naruto tossed and turned in his bed, large beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead as he heard a strange dark voice.
'N...A...R...U...T...O...'
'N...A...R...U...T...O...'
'N...A...R...U...T...O...'
Over and over the voice continued to haunt his dreams and he quickly sat up in his bed sweating huffing gasping for air.
'What the hell is going on' he thought wiping the sweat from his forehead, he laid back down and tried shifting his thoughts to his new life, his family, his friends and his new teammates. He found it a bit easier to sleep and slept the rest of the night unmoved.
TWO WEEKS LATER
After doing several very unpleasant D Rank missions, Naruto and the gang were finally given a C Rank mission and Naruto was preparing to leave for that very mission. He pulled on the final sleeve to his new jacket; he waited till his first out of village mission to wear it.
"So after all that time yelling about wanting a bigger and better mission you have one, are you ready?" Takeru asked his little brother while handing him the last of his ninja gear for his backpack
"Are you kidding me? Im more than ready Im excited..." Naruto said putting his backpack on "...is everything in here?"
Takeru smiled "Yep and a little something extra should you run into trouble...be careful Naruto and dont go dying on me, ya hear" he said placing his fist out
"Hey Im Uzumaki Naruto I wont die till I've become Hokage DATTEBAYO!" he replies bumping fist with his brother "...same goes for you Nii-san"
"Of course" Takeru smiled and with that Naruto left for the main gate and then left with his team.
Takeru went out for a walk through out the village, he was wearing his ninja gear as he had a training session with his sensei/godfather in a couple of hours so he was trying to find away to past the time. While he walked through the busy street's he noticed something, some people were glaring at him and murmuring to each other while doing it. Takeru wasn't stupid he knew why they were glaring and it truly pissed him off.
'Fucking Baka's this is the same look they give Naruto-kun because of the Kyubi, and do it me, Ojiisan and Obaasan because he's become part of our family...well fuck them all' he thought as his feet had unknowingly taken him to Yamanaka Hana (Yamanaka Flowers). He smiled as the thought of seeing Ino made him...happy. He walked into the shop and noticed Ino's beautiful platinum blond hair behind the counter; she hadn't noticed him so she decided to surprise her.
"Excuse me miss" he said masking his voice
"Just a second sir" she replied
"Im looking for a rare flower see it's for someone special" he continued
"Awww that's sweet, who for" Ino beamed but was still attending to the flower she was handling with her back turned
"Well...she's a ninja, with the most sparkling teal eyes, she loves purple, oh and her platinum blond hair is truly amazing..." he paused
Ino stopped messing with the flower and smiled as she begin to recognize the voice
"Oh and most importantly she is beauty personified" Takeru smiled wide
Ino turned around and her thoughts were confirmed it was indeed..."Takeru-kun" she said blushing thinking about all he just said
"Ahh and I think I've just found the rarest flower of them all, good morning Ino-chan" he smiled
"Good morning, what are you doing up so early?" she asked giggling at the slight corniness but she still thought it was cute
"Well Naruto-kun left for his mission about 20 minutes ago and since I had a training session in a couple hours I didn't see the need to go back to sleep and I decided to go for a walk and somehow ended up here" he replied
"So you didn't come all this way to see me?" she asked hoping that wasn't the case
"Maybe..." he smiled "Im just kidding I hadn't seen you since orientation and I wanted to so...here I am" Takeru said blushing a bit "So how are things with your team?"
Ino sweat dropped and sighed "Asuma sensei is really cool and laid back, Choji always has his hand deep in a bag of chip and Shikamaru...well he's as lazy as ever"
Takeru smiled and laughed "Yea that sounds about right for Choji and Shikamaru seems some things will never change"
"You're right so what about you how are your team?" Ino asked while giggling
"Oh...I dont have a team" he said nonchalantly
"Huh I thought you had those siblings on your team?" Ino asked confused
He smiled "Well Squad 6 was a...special case my Sensei was to find only one candidate to train to become a Tokubetsu Jonin and we had to fight against each other as you can see I was...victorious" he gave a thumbs up
"Wow that's cool"
He sheepishly rubbed the back of his head "Well yea but that means Ill be skipping D and going straight to C and B rank missions"
Ino looked at his eyes "…are you scared?"
"Who wouldn't be, but as a Shinobi of Konoha I will place my fears aside for my village" he said smiling sounding noble
'Takeru-kun…' she thought concerned for him
He then chuckled "Plus I feel that knowing I have something or someone to protect and come home to helps me fight better"
"Oh and who do you have to come back to?" she asked wondering who he would say
Takeru smiled he could hear the flirtiness in her question "Well there's my grandparents, Naruto-kun, my sensei and fellow comrades…and well...you" he blushed
Ino's face turned a deep shade of red and she saw that he saw it 'Me…' quickly trying to find some way to change the subject and regain her composure. "…Come train with me" she blurted out
"Huh" he asked with a face of pure confusion 'Wow a girl that actual wants to train…that's hot' he thought with a small blush
"Come train with me…my team had today off and I'm pretty much done with my duties here so I have the rest of the day to my self and…I wanna train plus it would loosen you up for your session" Ino said calmly
"Alright lets do it sounds fun…but don't think I'll hold back on you just because you're beautiful…" she blushed as he walked to the door "…meet me at training ground 6 in 10 minutes see you there" and with that he left.
Ino quickly shot up stairs to her room and looked for something to wear. 'What should I wear?' she searched and searched till 'Oh…that should do the trick' she smirk a most devilish smirk.
10 Minutes Later at TG 6
Takeru made it to the training ground quickly, thanks to the training to increase his speed Hayate was giving him so he sat under the shade of a tree in mediation waiting for Ino. Suddenly he felt a chakra signature closing in on him but he recognized it and didn't tense.
"Glad you could make it Ino-chan" he said surprising her he still had his eyes closed
She smirked 'So he sensed me coming well then this should get him back' "Told you Id come so are you gonna open your eye's or not"
He opened his eyes and was shocked at what he saw. Ino was wearing purple training shorts that came up to her high inner thigh and a white sports bra that was very…tight needless to say he was speechless.
'Oh wow that's priceless he's speechless well good to know I have that effect on him' she thought "Take-kun are you alright" she asked in an innocent manner.
Quickly trying to stifle the oncoming nosebleed he quickly stood up and turned to cough "Umm yes Im fine so ummm…what did you want to train in" the black haired boy asked taking off his sword and setting it against the tree still not turning around.
"Well I wanted to work on taijutsu, mine...it pretty much sucks right now and you scored the 2nd highest grade behind Sasuke so I figured you could help me out us being friends and all." Ino said beginning to stretch her body and limbs
Takeru smiled and slowly turned around wishing he didn't as he immediately saw her bending over to stretch her legs and was giving a very nice view of her ass. Ino knew what she was doing, she had been flirting and now has shifted to seducing not that she need to as it was evident to both parties that they liked each other...she just thought it was fun to mess with him.
Takeru quickly wiped his nose while she finished stretching. 'Hmmm two can play this game although she is...in the lead' he thought as he undid his obi and removed his sleeveless jacket leaving him shiftless as he reached into his bag. Ino finished her last stretch and turned around and nearly melted, she stared at his shirtless back as he wrapped his arms in ninja wraps.
'Oh wow all the training he does, does him...very well…I wonder how it'll look when he's older' she thought then quivered as he turned around and exposed his chest.
"Hey do you want some bandage wrap..." he paused and saw her staring "...Oi Ino-chan...Ino-chan Oi!"
Ino snapped back from her...lustful train of thought "Oh ummm sure" she said embarrassed at having been caught staring, she caught the wrap and begin to wrap her arms while they walked to the middle of the clearing.
"So how about we get started" he said getting into a simple stance
She followed suit and got into the academy taijutsu stance "Wanna make it interesting?" Ino asked cockily
Takeru's eyebrow quirked "Im listening" he said as the two Shinobi circled each other
"If I can land one hit on you or pin you to the ground first then...you...ah I know you have to take me out on a date for a whole day next time we're off" Ino said smiling sounding confident
Takeru chuckled "Hmmm sounds like fun...but what I do I get if I pin you down"
Ino smirked "Well what to you want Take-kun?"
"I'll tell you after I win now lets..." he inched back a bit "...begin" he called out as he dashed towards Ino. It startled her for a bit and all she could do was evade and dodge.
"He wait a minute you're going to fast" Ino yelled
"What happened, Ino-chan you sounded so confident a second ago...I thought you wanted me to take you out?" Takeru mocked
Ino took that to heart and attacked him sending him on the defensive, she threw a series a punches and kicks and he dodged them all. "Grrrrr Im going to get you" she yelled as she readied her 'final blow'...
In the next instant she was on the ground, her hair up heaved, her hands constricted by Takeru's hands, his face only inches from hers and his body hovering over hers. "Wanna know a secret Ino-chan..." he leaned down to her ear a red blush upon her cheeks at how close he was to her, she squirmed trying to get free while on the other hand she secretly enjoyed this.
"Both Naruto-kun and I promised our grandfather that'd we'd hold back our level of taijutsu while training in the academy..." Takeru whispered in her ear her eyes widened "...that's the only reason Sasuke got the number 1 spot"
Ino gasped still squirming under his grasp "Just...just how strong are you?" she asked
"Its not about how strong I am, I...we trained hard everyday under the teachings of the academy and our grandfather, we trained hard so that we would survive in this ninja world...we trained hard so that one day we could both achieve our dreams." he paused "Having the motivation, the will to achieve our goals is what drives us."
"And what is your dream Takeru..." Ino moved by his words asked staring deep into his eyes
"Simple...to become a great Tokubetsu Jonin and...to be strong enough to always protect my precious people" he smiled but the tone in his voice sound so serious and sincere "By the way Ino-chan...I win"
'Wow his words were so serious he means to achieve his dream no matter what...could I have the same motivation...do I even have a dream' she silently pondered an then in a innocent voice asked "Yes...you did...so what do you want from me"
Takeru leaned in closer the faces only inches away "Well...I was already going to ask you out on a date had you won or not but what I really want..." he paused and she gulped "...is a kiss."
They finally closed the gap between their lips, Ino's eyes widened 'My first kiss...Takeru is kissing me...his lips...so warm' she relaxed and quickly joined in the kiss. Takeru released her hands as she snaked them around his neck pulling him more into the kiss. 'Her lips are so sweet and soft' he thought as they continued their first kiss need for air was too great and they parted lips.
"That was..." he started a heavy blush evident on his face
"...Amazing..." she finished her cheeks a shade of red "Take-kun w..."
"Ino-chan will you be my girlfriend" he asked quickly
She smiled softly her face getting even more red and nodded her head "Yes I will...what took you so long" she asked regaining a bit of her fiery side, a side with Takeru adored
Both Genin smiled and kissed again quickly this time, Takeru stood up and helped his girlfriend up off the ground. "What If I helped you with taijutsu on our off days whenever I have the chance, you can never have too much training."
"I'd like that..." she paused and blushed "so I guess this mean we're dating now" she giggled
Takeru had a blush on his face as he rubbed the back of his head "Yes I guess it does...so ummm the next time were both off from training and missions I spend the entire day with you" he said regaining a bit of his smooth composure.
Ino practically squealed and wrapped her arms around her boyfriend...finally she had gotten her prize she was going to start another make out session until a certain someone cleared their throat followed by a cough. Takeru and Ino turned around to see Hayate leaning against the tree coughing but with a clear smirk on his face. Ino turned 5 deep shades of red as did Takeru from being caught by his godfather.
"Ummm uhhhh Good morning Tou-san...I mean...Hayate-san...I mean Hayate-sensei" Takeru greeted obviously flustered. Ino slightly hiding behind her boyfriend giggled at his antics.
"Good morning Takeru...and to you *cough* Ino...mind if I ask *cough* what's going on here?" Hayate asked in a deep voice clearly enjoying messing with his godson
"Takeru here was ummm...just helping me with my...taijutsu training yea...that's it Taijutsu training" Ino blurted out trying to hide her embarrassment "Ummm I think Im going to just leave now...goodbye...Take-kun"
"You're welcome to stay and *cough* watch our training session *cough* if you'd like" Hayate said moving from the tree towards his godson and the young Kunoichi.
"I'd like that but I need to get back home...thanks for helping me today Take-kun" she quickly runs up and places a kiss on her boyfriend cheek and saunters off knowing that out of the corner of his eye Takeru was looking.
Once Ino had left Hayate placed his hand on his godson's shoulder. "Well then it's good to see you helping your fellow comrade *cough* and Im sure it had nothing to do with the fact *cough* that you like her"
"Uhhhh yea sure what do you say we get started, besides you said you'd teach me my first kenjutsu technique, the new jutsu jii gave me was much easier to master thanks to my training with the Raikyu"
"Alright then *cough* lets get started *cough* oh and by the way...we're going *cough* to have a 'talk' afterwards *cough* about you and your...girlfriend
Takeru's only response was audible gulp. 'Uh oh!'
A WEEK LATER
Naruto and Squad 7 returned from their mission with new perspectives about the lives of Shinobi. Once in the village Kakashi told them they had the next two days off and vanished to go report to the Hokage. Sasuke went off somewhere to sulk about what happened during the mission leaving Hinata and Naruto alone, he offered to walk her home and she nervously obliged.
"Finally were home I can't wait to get some ramen, how about you Hinata-chan" Naruto asked with a foxy grin.
Hinata blushed as he attention fell on her "Umm...I...Im...glad...were home...too"
"Hey Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked walking
"Y..yes Naruto-kun" she replied
"I was just wondering why you stuttered like that, I mean you were so brave on the last mission and you've gotten stronger I just wondered that's all" he asked unaware of the thoughts going through her head.
'Naruto-kun called me brave and strong, he thinks Im brave but I'm not I can't even admit my feelings for him. Why cant I, he standing right next to me, he's on the same team as me so why cant I tell him I like him' she was brought out of her train of thought by Naruto placing his hands on her shoulders shaking her a bit
"Oi Hinata-chan are you ok...hello" Naruto asked
Hinata blushed at his touch "Umm y...yes...Im...f...fine...Naruto-kun...oh...we...w e're...here"
Naruto looked behind him to see the Hyuga Estate "Oh yea you're right, well I guess I'll see you later then" he said not minding that she didn't answer her question chalking it up to her being nervous about something, he then brought her into his embrace for a short hug then releasing her and run off waving goodbye.
Hinata stood in a petrified state 'Naruto-kun just hugged me' was all that went through her mind over and over again. The young Hyuga heir took several slow steps as blackness threatened to over take her eyes but she fought it long enough to make it to her room and faint.
With Naruto
Naruto after making a quick stop and dropping something at his old apartment (now used as weapons and items storage for him and Takeru) he headed home, he was greeted by Maruya.
"Naruto-kun you're back..." she paused to yell out to the back yard "Oi Take-chan Naruto is back, so how did the mission go?"
"It went well Baa-chan, we got the bridge builder back home safe and sound and protected him while he finished." Naruto explained shortly before Takeru entered the room the two brothers' bumped fist
"Welcome back Naruto-kun" Takeru smiled
Naruto chuckled "Glad to be back Nee-san"
Maruya smiled at her two boys "Yosh you two go up stairs and get relaxed Akoshi-kun will be home shortly then I'll get dinner started"
Both boys went up stairs and chose to chill in Naruto's room, while Naruto changed shirts Takeru sat on the bed.
"So you gonna tell me what really happened on the mission" Takeru asked sternly
"What do you mean I just told Baa-chan what happened" Naruto explained
Takeru sighed "No you didn't you just told her a non detailed version...I can see in your eye something happened...something major now tell me"
Naruto sighed there was no getting past his brother; he let his mind wonder back to the beginning.
FLASHBACK
"So as we were walking the old fart back to the wave we continued to walk and idly chat, while I ignored the old man and his constant short jokes well I tried. After we walked over a wooden bridge we walked upon a small puddle in our path it was easy enough to walk past it but I noticed something...amiss, it hadn't rained in that part of the land in a while so why would there be a puddle. Suddenly we heard a loud noise and turned to see two ninja covered in a black cloak coming out of the puddle one was quickly heading for us, he shot some sort of chain from a contraption on his hand. They wrapped it around Kakashi Sensei...
"Huh ugh" Kakashi groaned as the two ninja's spiked chain wrapped tightly around his body
Hinata gasped is a soft voice "Oh no!"
"Hey what the..." Naruto begin to scream before he saw Kakashi's visible eye wink
Both ninja pulled tightly and sliced the Jonin into little bits and pieces that just slumped to the ground, everyone was in shock.
"KAKASHI SENSEI!" Naruto yelled out but soon stopped as the two ninja appeared quickly behind him.
"Now it's your turn" one of the ninja said as the were about to attack Naruto
"NARUTO-KUN!" Hinata yelled worried
Naruto smiled "SASUKE NOW!" he yelled as the ninja attempted to slice Naruto down to size. The boy poofed into smoke and they saw it was a shadow clone but it was to late, as Sasuke jumped in the air, grabbed a shuriken and kunai and threw the shuriken into the middle of the chain lodging it into a tree he then tossed the kunai into the shuriken hole securing that it wouldn't move.
"I can't get loose" one ninja said as he attempted to yank his self free. Sasuke landed on the two ninja's metal arms and used one as leverage to kick both in the face. While they fell they released the chain and quickly ran towards the bridge builder, Hinata bravely stood in front of them.
'I have to be strong' she silently prayed as she held a kunai in front of her "Stay behind me Tazuna-san" she said as the ninja got closer and with incredible speed Naruto out of nowhere stepped in-between Hinata and the oncoming ninja ready to protect her. The ninja closed in fast only to be stopped in his tracks by a close line from Kakashi choking him, who stood there with the other ninja already dispatched.
"Hi" Kakashi greeted like nothing even happened
'Kakashi sensei he's alive thank Kami' Hinata silently thanked
One single thought was on both Sasuke and Naruto's mind 'SHOWOFF'
'They protected me after all hmmm' the old man thought
Kakashi gathered his team around "Good job you three very smooth, and Naruto good job noticing my sign and playing the part."
"Just doing my job sensei" Naruto said smiling at the praise. Hinata smiled and Sasuke smirked
"Well then here's a new job, if I am gone or incapacitated you are in command of team 7..." he turns to Sasuke and Hinata "...that's mean you are to follow his lead understood" both Genin nodded and Naruto was in slight shock that Kakashi would trust him with this much responsibility. "Now Mr. Tazuna...we need to talk"
"As we reached the shore and made our way to Tazuna's house we were almost beheaded by a large Zanbato it belonged to Momochi Zabuza. He and Kakashi Sensei engaged in an awesome fierce battle while we protected the old man, Kakashi showed off his Sharingan but soon got captured in a Water Prison jutsu and Zabuza came after us but I had a little surprise for him thanks to you Nee-san"
Naruto looked around at his situation Sasuke was just getting up from being thrown back by the Zabuza clone, and he had ordered Hinata to stay close to the old man and his headband...was still under that monster's foot.
"I am a ninja now, I WILL NOT RUN AWAY" Naruto charged right for Zabuza only to be knocked back
"NARUTO-KUN!" Hinata yelled again
"Naruto No!" Kakashi spat out while trapped
Hinata looked down at him "Naruto-kun...why d...did you...do that" she asked then she noticed he had his head band back 'The headband...that's what he wanted oh Naruto-kun'
Naruto stood up with blood dripping down his chin "Now that I have my headband back we can really..." he smirked wiping the blood away "...get this party started"
"You're a cocky little brat aren't you" Zabuza he was starting to kinda like this kid…kinda.
"That because I'll never back down, My name...is UZUMAKI NARUTO DATTBAYO..." his face turned serious and his toned darken almost as if dripping with blood lust "and Im the one who will become Hokage."
Everyone noticed it but Zabuza actually flinched at the tone, he shivered 'This kid, those eyes, that tone hmmm I like it'
'There's that tone again looks like he's about to get in gear I just hope they can pull it off' Kakashi wondered
"Team 7 Formation Alpha 5" Naruto order to his teammates. Hinata remained in front of Tazuna with Kunai in hand she activated her dojutsu and kept a scan of the area, Naruto jumped back behind Sasuke as he took the front point. "Alright lets get WILD Sasuke go"
Sasuke quickly moved to attack Zabuza and was quickly knocked back; Zabuza followed and slammed his elbow in the boys gut.
"Get away from him KAGE BUNSHIN no JUTSU" Naruto called out as about 45 clones appeared surrounding Zabuza
'Hmmm Shadow Clones and there's quite a few of them' Zabuza thought
"Here we go" All the clones called out as they jumped Zabuza giving Sasuke the time to escape, the clones were no match for Zabuza as with one swipe of his sword destroyed them all.
The real Naruto grabbed something out of his bag "SASUKE NOW!"
"I've got it" Sasuke said as he grabbed the Fuma Shuriken 'so that's the plan huh not bad Naruto'
"Huh" Zabuza said
"FUMA SHURIKEN" Sasuke called out as he opened the windmill like weapon
"Shuriken…you'll never touch me with that" Zabuza mocked
With great speed Sasuke disappeared and reappeared in the sky and tossed the massive shuriken towards the Demon of the Mist. The Zabuza clone stood there till he noticed it wasn't coming for him but headed for the real Zabuza.
"So you passed the clone and aimed for my real body…smart…but not smart enough" he said as he caught the shuriken dead in its tracks. 'Huh…' he gasped as another shuriken was headed his way "A second shuriken a shadow of the first, the shadow shuriken jutsu.
'The second shuriken is sure to hit, he can't catch this one' Hinata thought, as both Naruto and Sasuke looked on to see if there plan worked. The shuriken got closer until…Zabuza jumped over it.
"I told you shuriken couldn't touch me" he mocked
All of team 7 smirked as the shuriken flew past him and poofed into Naruto who then threw a kunai headed right for Zabuza.
"Eat this FUTON: REPPUSHO (WIND RELEASE: GALM PALM)" Naruto shouted as he clapped his hands together and compresses the wind into a powerful gale increasing the speed of the kunai 10 fold
"WHAT!" Zabuza was shocked as the kunai ripped across his right eye socket, Zabuza howled in pain as he released the water prison jutsu.
"After that he and Kakashi re-engaged in battle and Kakashi-sensei had the upper hand till a masked kid claiming to be a Anbu from the Hidden Mist swooped in and seemingly killed him, afterward Kakashi collapsed from over used and we had to take up refugee at Tazuna's house while there we trained in learning Chakra control and because of Ojiisan's teaching I helped Sasuke and Hinata with it. I met this boy out in the forest and we talked he seemed nice, soon we found our selves face to face with Zabuza again on the bridge along with the masked kid who turned out to be the same boy I met. The guy had a rare Ice Kekkei Genkai and trapped me and Sasuke in some kind of mirror he fired a fatal blow aimed at me but...Sasuke took the hit...and something...happened"
Naruto grunted as rolled on his side he could feel the needles from earlier sticking in his body, his plan hadn't worked. He looked up to see two sights the one called Haku was down on the ground and in-between the killer and Naruto stood Sasuke bruised but still standing.
"Hng your plan failed...Naru...to...it seem...hng...you still...get in my way..." the Uchiha smirked as he struggle to stay up. He wouldn't admit it out loud but in some form he came to respect Naruto for his ability to form plans to work, it just seemed that this opponent was out of their league and that stung Sasuke more than all the senbon needles in his body.
"Sasuke you got...him" Naruto stopped as his eyes widened at the amount of needles in his teammates body
Sasuke turned his head and Naruto could see the blood dripping down his lips "You...should see...your face right now"
"Why did you save me...that... that wasn't apart of the plan" Naruto asked shakingly
Sasuke grunted "I dont...know why...I just...did" he flashed back to all the memories of him and Naruto and their rivalry "You...I hated...you...but then...we became...team 7 and...you showed...your...determination."
"Damn it Sasuke I didn't ask for this...I didn't asked to be saved" Naruto yelled out
"My body...just...moved there...was no...time to...think...Naru...to" he gasped as he fell backwards only for Naruto to catch him
"SASUKE!" Naruto cried trying to keep his teammat...friend alive
Sasuke looked Naruto dead in the eyes and for the first time Naruto could see the pain...the pain of loneliness and suffering, a pain Naruto knew all too well. "He's...still out...there...my brother I promised my self...Id stay alive...until I...killed him..." Sasuke eyes quivered as he spoke his final words "...Naruto dont let...your dream...die" and with his final breath Sasuke was gone.
Naruto eyes widened as Sasuke hand went limp and his head fell to his side, he eyes swelled with tear he brought the boy into his embrace. Haku slowly rose up and looked at the sight before him.
He recalled the moment before this 'He found the strength he didn't realize he had, why because of a certain person who was precious to him to save that person he rushed in knowing it was a trap...he was a true ninja worthy of Honor.'
"Is this the first time you've seen a friend die in battle, this is part of what it means to be a ninja" Haku said as he began to merge back into his mirror
"Shut up..." the blond Genin replied his voice dripping with blood lust, he turned to his friend placing him down on the ground slowly "I hated you too Sasuke and yet...you'll pay...for this" he said as steam began to form around him.
'Huh' Haku gasped
The steam filled the entire Mirrored arena and the steam swirl surrounding Naruto turned into red chakra. The chakra surged he ran through the ground cracking it, an ominous feeling permeated the air. Naruto body trembled, he then lifted his head up his canines elongated, and his whisker marks now broadened...his eyes blood red with a slit in the middle. "IM GONNA KILL YOU" his voice now pouring over with hate.
The red chakra expanded more. 'What is this chakra...Chakra can not be seen yet it's clearly visible...it's something ghastly I can feel the wrath, the blood lust...like evil its self' Haku thought, he then saw something disturbing. The chakra swirled and formed an image...of a fox, soon all the needle were pushed out of the boys body and his wounds began to heal as his nails turned into claws. 'His hand is healing and changing...this boy what is he.' Naruto turned his head and his red eye locked on to Haku and growled.
Outside the mirror both Zabuza and Kakashi felt the power surge.
"Is Zabuza creating this...?" Kakashi asks himself then he realizes it "no he's not I know this chakra...there's no way!"
"What is this energy its something fowl...Kakashi no it too powerful even for him, where's it coming from" Zabuza asked searching all around him
'NARUTO! This puts everyone in danger why now of all times the seal is broken I have to stop it' Kakashi thought
'The blood lust in his eyes...this is no longer a child Naruto growled as his stance lowered putting him on all fours, Haku prepared a defense and with that Naruto dashed forward. Haku threw more senbon but Naruto just roared and they were blocked by a force of red chakra, Naruto continued his advance only for Haku to move to mirror above his view
'His chakra grows strong by the second I must strike now' Haku said appearing in all of the mirrors and throwing multiple senbon into the boy's body. He took the attack and his chakra simply expelled the needle from his body. Naruto then located the real Haku and ran at full speed smashing the mirror with his fist. Haku taking this as a chance to finish it swooped down with senbon in his hand aiming to kill the boy fast, only for Naruto to spin his body out of the way. Haku tried to get away quickly but Naruto was faster and grabbed the boy by his wrist.
'Those eyes' was the only thing going through Haku's mind
'Could it be the seal has been broken...no it's been loosened and a glimmer of the Kyubi's chakra has slipped through, but the seal still holds' Kakashi thought to himself.
Naruto's grip on Haku's wrist tightened as more chakra seeped out shattering some of the mirrors. 'I...can't...his energy...is too strong' Haku thought as Naruto clinched his fist powering it with chakra and punching Haku right in the mask. The boy was sent flying through one of his own mirrors it shattered and he landed rolling a couple feet away, his mask cracking. Soon the mirrors and Haku's mask being to crumble one half of if fell to the ground.
'Zabuza I am no match for this boy...Master...I have failed' were Haku's thought as the boy closed in with another powerful punch the other half of his mask fell revealing his face.
"After I saw his face we talked and he was... he had felt...the same loneliness...until Zabuza came along. He wanted me to...kill him because...he had failed his so called master, I tried to talk him out of it but before I could get through to him he went an sacrificed his life and took the blow Kakashi was about to deal to Zabuza and like he meant nothing to him Zabuza was ready to strike him down in order to kill Kakashi. Soon Gato and his thugs appeared they were there to betray Zabuza and take us down, Gato walked over and kick him placing his can on his face defiling him. I snapped at Zabuza and he said… that my word cut deeper than any blade. He told me that even though we try to escape our feelings deep down all Shinobi are still human, he then asked for my kunai I gave it to him and at blinding speeds attacked Gato and his men taking heavy damage but he targeted Gato and thrust my kunai in his heart knocking him off the unfinished bridge he then passed out. It turned out Sasuke hadn't died and just when we thought it was over the rest of the thugs were about to charge. Suddenly the village people showed up their honor renewed and fear gone, I saw the sparks in there eye it reignited mine and I cast my shadow clone jutsu but only five appeared as I was low on chakra. Kakashi joined in however and cast the shadow clone jutsu to calling it "Kakashi Style" and they all went overboard screaming in terror. While the villagers celebrated Zabuza wanted to be by Haku's side and asked Kakashi to place him there, he died beside his comrade. We helped them finish the bridge and came home.
End Flashback
As Takeru and Naruto sat in his room, Takeru was completely in awe of his younger brother's experience.
"Naruto that was an amazing story but is that all we as Shinobi are used for" Takeru asked
Naruto sighed "That's what Haku died believing, but beside their graves I made a vow to follow my own ninja way a way that's straight and true and with no regrets that's what I vowed"
Takeru smiled "Fine then follow my own ninja way as well and together we'll pave the way for a new Ninja World" Naruto smiled and nodded bumping fist with his brother soon Maruya called them down for dinner.
Later That Night
As all mostly all of Konoha slept one Shinobi did not. At the Yoto's residence in Naruto's room the blonde haired boy tossed and turned in his bed. Images of his recent mission fluttered through his head, all the pain and suffering and torment and the emotions plagued his mind. He then focused on the battle between him and Haku and the feeling of hatred, despair and loneness he felt and that power where the hell did that come from…he was about to get his answer.
He sudden sat up wide awake, he noticed two things one he wasn't in his bedroom and two there was water everywhere on the ground. He stood up and walked around this foreign place if he could call it anything he would say if looked like a sewer. Naruto kept walking till he came to giant bars with a slip of paper on it.
"Where the hell am I" Naruto asked no one in particular
Sudden a low ominous chuckle was heard coming from behind those bars.
"YOUNG BAKA CANT EVEN RECONZIE HIS OWN MINDSCAPE"
Naruto froze 'That voice…I've heard that voice before it's…'
Emerging from the murky shadows behind the bars a very large fox with orange fur, large teeth, eyes full of hatred and 9 long flowing tails stood before Naruto.
Naruto's eyes widened "The Kyubi!"
