Naruto age 6
It had been a little less than a year now since Naruto activated his flames.
Flame training continued to be the highlight of his day. No matter how much he used them he could just keep going. The old man and Yugao though could only use their flames for a limited time. Yugao though was beginning to increase the amount of time she could use her blue flames.
It was discovered that regular metal couldn't handle flames, but chakra metal turned out to be a great conductor for flames.
Naruto had to admit having Yugao around all the time watching over him was great. Their bond had only grown stronger since it formed, and they could now feel each other's intent. But still he couldn't help, but feel left out. Just a few hours ago he had walked by and saw a group of kids playing ninja. It would have been great to join, but the old man said that he couldn't risk touching other people's flame. He was starting to feel lonely again even if he did get to talk to more people now.
He heard a splash to his left while walking past a river bank, and looked down the hill. There was a small dock with a boy on it. He could see the boys flame. It was a dark purple three inches large, and looked so ready to just break apart.
Moving down without even thinking about it Naruto approached the boy.
Sasuke didn't know what to make of the kid standing in front of him. The blond hair, and orange jacket the boy stood out, but not nearly as much as the boys bright blue eyes. They were like a reflection to his own eyes. Anger, Sadness, and loneliness were prominent.
He watched as the blond haired boy reached out, and touched air in front of his chest. Suddenly, Sasuke didn't know how, but purple flames came to life around him, and he felt a connection form between the blond boy and himself. He just knew that they would always be able to watch each other's back, and not have to worry about being hurt.
"Naruto"
"Sasuke"
Reaching out the two boys clasped hands, and grinned.
Yugao felt when Naruto gained someone else. She still didn't know what the bond between her, and Naruto meant, but she new it was special. Whenever she felt down or alone a surge of warmth would fill her, and she would find herself thinking of the little whiskered faced boy who had activated the flames she now wielded.
The flames were different then Naruto's or the hokage's, but she loved them. The blue flames couldn't fly, but instead had a calming or draining affect depending on how much of them she used at once. They reflected her better she thought then the orange flames that the other two used. Orange flames seemed like something that should be free or wild reaching out to all with their influence. While her blue flames were more like going with the flow and staying level headed.
Yugao probably should have reported the new connection to the hokage, but like Naruto she had started to feel illatease around him. It seemed like she was slowly starting to see Naruto as the more important one even if he wasn't the leader of the village.
Instead Yugao left it alone, and figured she'd meet the new bond in time. She was right as not even two hours later she watched as ANBU teams started to converge toward the academy where a large smoke cloud had enveloped the building.
The dynamics between Sasuke and Naruto were strange to say the least. Ever since Naruto activated his flames Sasuke started seeing things differently. He felt the other bond between Naruto and Yugao, and automatically she became family. Family was very important, and now he had a new brother and a older sister. Family needed to be taken care of, protected. Without even realizing it Sasuke forgot about his brother, and instead focused on Naruto, and the warmth that could be given off whenever he felt down.
Naruto and Sasuke were seven now, and the ANBU were in a up roar again. Ever since they had meant Naruto was always pulling Sasuke around. It didn't matter if it was for flame training which was kept away from the old man, eating ramen, or playing pranks on the ANBU.
Naruto through constant training and experiments with the old man could now use his flames, but keep the changes to the orange coloring in his eyes. He now wore black shades to cover his eyes from view so others wouldn't know.
Sasuke had started training with Naruto to understand his flames, and Yugao had become his unofficial trainer due to Naruto and her not wanting to show Sasuke's flames off to the old man. They soon learned that Sasuke could increase things with his flames. Sasuke found it easiest to increase his body or what ever he was holding at the time. Body augmentation was what was most used as the flames could be held within the body not giving away that he was using them. He'd also started to wear black shades to cover his eye color change, and Yugao had pointed out that when he activated his Sharingan it would be to his advantage to not let others know he had it.
Yugao watched in amusement from the top of the hokage tower. She was currently speaking with Naruto and Sasuke on a three way radio she had gotten for them. The two had become quite the pranksters, and had just recently painted R&D department orange. The three of them had started making it a game of how long the two could evade ANBU. Naruto had just jumped out of a high building window. It was all part of the plan as Sasuke was currently running with another ANBU team chasing him right toward where Naruto was going to land. "It looks good you two, Naruto you should slow down for a few seconds, and then drop heavy. Sasuke there's an alley two buildings from Naruto's you should go down."
Naruto laughed as he plummeted from the fourth story build he'd just jumped out of. Hearing his look out to slow down, and then drop heavy was all he needed to follow her instructions. After all she was his flame just like Sasuke, and they would never tell him wrong on purpose. Looking down he saw Sasuke blow by, and added weight to his body, while reinforcing his body with a shell of gravity for protection.
Sasuke smirked as he heard the boom that went off behind him. Doing as his instructor said he ducted into the alley, and waited. It was all part of the plan. The ANBU were well trained ninja, and even with flames they would be caught far too fast for their liking. So Naruto came up with the idea of asking Yugao what to do to avoid being caught too quickly. She had suggested making the ANBU teams distracted long enough to get away. It took months, but now Naruto and he with Yugao's help were running ANBU to mistake after mistake. "Alright Sasuke Naruto is running by the alley now you know what to do." Sasuke's smirked widened as he ran back the way he came. He jumped out using flames to increase his body all around.
Bird was having a shit day. Then again he had one of those at least once a week, and it wasn't even caused by bad missions. In fact these days it might be very well safer outside of the village. The reason for this would be two brats that should be classified as demons. They didn't even have chakra yet, and yet the two made ANBU look like fools. Demon one was codenamed fox due to the whiskers on his face, and with how tricky he could be. Fox somehow seemed to defy the laws of gravity even more than regular shinobi already did. It had been reported that the fox could jump great distances move without touching anything, and seemed to be able to speed up or slow down mid air.
Bird had just seen the latest example of it as fox plummeted down right into the ANBU squad chasing the second brat codenamed raven due to his black hair and loner personality when away from fox. He felt bad for his friend Duck who had just been blown away into a fruit stall by fox hitting the ground. Landing Bird and his team took off after fox only to trip up as the raven jumped from an alley to his right. The boys foot tapped his mask before he was gone. His stopping caused his three teammates behind him to collide with him. "Yup just another shit day."
"You say something Bird?"
"No Duck I was just thinking about the day. Any idea which way they went?"
"Nope, but Lizards team has been called in, and I see a bar across the street that is just calling to me."
Duck nodded, and followed Bird toward the bar only to be blown backwards by an explosion in front of him. Getting up Duck looked around to see fox behind them laughing uncontrollably while raven smirked with a smoke bomb in his hand. Stepping forward Duck prepared to chase them only to feel a click under his boot.
Bird was still disoriented by the air bomb that had gone off in front of him. He had no idea how the demons had gotten ahold of ANBU bombs, but would bring it up with his superiors. Who in their right mind would ever give the brats more weapons to work with. He was almost standing when he heard the click from behind, and by reflex born from hearing that sound far too much this year dove straight into the bar in front of him.
It seemed his fellow ANBU with the exception had taken cover while bird was still stuck on the mine he was on. "Duck don't move!"
Yugao was currently cracking up uncontrollably as she watched her fellow ANBU stay frozen. She still heard her fellow pranksters talking though.
Walking down another alley with his hands behind his head was Naruto, "Hey Sasuke how long do you think it'll take before Duck steps off?"
Sasuke's smirked widened as he remembered the last mine Naruto had planted. "Well considering the last mine caused a whole team of ANBU to be painted with orange paint that had catnip mixed in I would say at least a night. On that note Yugao did say that the cat Tora was free again."
Naruto giggled evilly as he couldn't wait for the ANBU to step off, only to find that nothing was going to happen.
Lizard soon appeared in front of them from across the street waving a large white flag.
Sarutobi looked at the report in front of him, and then at the three ANBU teams in his room. "Lizard do you see a problem here? Cause I see a report with no problem causer in front of me. Three days after you were sent out. "
Lizard nodded and shrugged helplessly. "Sir to be fair Duck couldn't move until about three hours ago, and when I saw the two responsible for the break into R&D run away from me I figured it would be less dangerous to just write my report."
Sarutobi sighed, this was sadly going to be a problem. It was ok when his ANBU could actually catch the two responsible, but now they were failing at that. It would seem he was going to have to put more measures into effect to hopefully slow the boys down.
"Could someone explain and get duck to stop shaking at least?"
Bird shuffled, and said, "we've tried, but ever since Gai kept running past him after losing to Kakashi again he can't seem to stop shaking."
Sarutobi just looked down, and Lizard could swear he heard the hokage say, "They just don't make them like they use to."
Even if he heard right Lizard wasn't sure if he was talking about Gai or the ANBU.
And so started what would become the worse mission available to ANBU. They called it demon watching. The official title was Special Supervision.
Tenzo looked at the file in front of him. He'd just gotten back from a four year undercover mission, and had asked for a mission that would be in the village.
"Sir is there any other mission available?"
Dragon looked at one of his better operatives, and smiled behind his mask. "I'm sorry to say, but all other operatives are either too under qualified to do this mission or have requested long term missions outside of the village. There was two others, but for some reason they decided to retire early, and have become gate guards. Your it, and no you can't decide on another mission. It's become a rule in ANBU when you pick the file up your it."
Tenzo looked down again at the first line before even the general info or pictures.
'Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha age eight ANBU breakdowns to record have been twenty-two and a half.'
"Sir, can I ask about the half part?
Dragon laughed while scratching the back of his head, "Well you see we had one of the Akimichi ANBU watch them for a while, and when he came in he weighed in at hundred in twenty pounds, and is now working on diet foods."
Tenzo looked back down to see two boys wearing glasses the blond one the left was smiling while the other had a self satisfied smirk behind them was a pile of ANBU.
I really hoped you enjoyed this chapter as I had quite a bit of fun writing it.
