Chapter 4

Lightning

Naruto and Sasuke walked up the stairs to the roof top. Both of them were still gloomy because Hinata was not on their team. How can this happen to them! They were the best friends! And they separate them?

Naruto opened the door to find Sakura sitting down on some stairs. Kakashi was leaning on his back against the rail.

"'Bout time you showed up." Kakashi joked.

Naruto and Sasuke didn't reply. They both sat down on the stairs and waited for the former ANBU captain to speak up.

"They are still depressed." Kakashi thought.

"Let's get to know each other. Tell me your name, dislikes, likes, hobbies, and dreams." Kakashi said as he shook away his thoughts.

"Why don't you go first sensei?" Sakura asked.

"Fine," Kakashi said, "I am Hatake Kakashi, you don't need to know my dislikes, or likes. My hobbies and dreams are none of your business."

"We only learned your name.." Sakura said.

"Your point?" Kakashi said.

"I already know you Kakashi-Sensei." Naruto said. Sasuke nodded.

"Pinky, you go first." Kakashi said as he pointed to Sakura.

"My name is Sakura Haruno. My likes are," she looked at Sasuke, "My dislikes are," she glared at Naruto, "My hobbies are," she looked at Sasuke again, "My dreams are," She looks at Sasuke.

Sasuke rolled his eyes in annoyance. Naruto chuckled. He knew how Sasuke was always annoyed by fan girls. It annoyed Naruto too.

"Another crazy fan girl. Just as I predicted." Kakashi thought.

"Naruto." Kakashi said.

Naruto looked at Sakura. Kakashi and Sasuke already knew him, so there was no point looking at them.

"I am Naruto Uzumaki. My likes are, my friends, and training. My dislikes are annoying fan girls. My hobbies are training and hanging out with my friends. My dream is to be Hokage and the best Elemental Master there is."

Kakashi nodded. Sasuke nodded as well. Sakura was just confused. What was he talking about? Elemental Master? What's that?

"I will explain later." Naruto said as he noticed Sakura's confusion.

"Sasuke." Kakashi said.

"I am Sasuke Uchiha. My likes are, friends and training. My dislikes are annoying fan girls. My hobbies are training and hanging out with friends. My dream is to help my friend become the best Elemental Master there is. My other dream is to revive my clan, and kill a certain someone."

"You just copied Naruto," Sakura stated, "By the way, you want to go out later?"

"So,?" Sasuke shot back, "It's true! No by the way."

Sakura became silent, tears streaming down her face.

"You got to go used to this..." Sasuke and Naruto thought.

Kakashi decided to break up the drama and said, "Tomorrow morning meeting me at Training Ground 7 at 8 a.m. Do not eat breakfast or else you will throw up." Kakashi disappeared in a swirl of wind and leaves. Naruto and Sasuke nodded to each other. Naruto disappeared in a swirl of wind. Sasuke disappeared in a swirl of fire, leaving Sakura alone. Sakura felt left out walked out. So un-ninja like.

Naruto and Sasuke appeared where Hinata goes where she usually is sad. The forest next to the park. The trio found a small cave and marked it their own area. The mark was the Uchiha fan. Where the fan was was a swirl representing Naruto. Representing Hinata was a the Hyuuga symbol, surrounding the fan. They carved the symbol into the rock with a kunai.

Naruto and Sasuke went inside the cave, and found Hinata sitting down in a ball position, crying. Naruto immediately leaped to Hinata and hugged her like he did in the Academy. Sasuke sat down across from them. They sat in silence for a few minutes.

"Hinata-chan," Naruto started to say, "Even though we are in different teams, we can still hang out together."

Sasuke nodded in agreement.

"I know that, it's just that," Hinata cried, "I-it's so s-sad a-and disapp-pointing that we a-are i-in different t-teams."

"I know. Me and Sasuke are sad too," Sasuke nodded, "We just got to deal with it. We can handle this." Naruto said.

"I agree with Naruto." Sasuke said.

"If you guys a-agree, then I-I can a-agree." Hinata stuttered.

"Now that we got that out of the way, how about you tell us about your team?" Naruto suggested.

"H-Hai!" Hinata said.

The trio talked for hours until the best friends fell asleep.

Next Day

The sun shone down on Naruto's face, waking him up. Naruto's eyes fluttered open. Today was the day for Kakashi's test. He didn't know what it will be, but he knew it was going to be hard. Kakashi was always saying: "Look Underneath the Underneath."

Naruto did his normal routine. Took a shower and got dressed. Naruto disappeared in a swirl of wind, heading to Sasuke's apartment. Once he got there, Naruto knocked on the door. Sasuke opened the door and let Naruto come inside.

"Why do you have breakfast out?" Naruto asked as he walked into the kitchen, noticing the breakfast layed out.

"Kakashi-Sensei is always two hours late. Since it is only 7:00 right now, I might as well eat." Sasuke replied.

"Can I have some?" Naruto asked.

"Sure."

Naruto took a seat across from Sasuke and started to eat. It wasn't ramen, but it is better than nothing. About 30 minutes later, the two friends finished. Sasuke put the dishes beside the fridge, and left with Naruto.

"So what are we going to do now?" Naruto questioned as Sasuke locked the door.

"Let's go to the training ground to warn Sakura. She will have to know about Kakashi's tardiness." Sasuke suggested.

"Weird," Naruto said, "I thought you hate her."

"I do, but we are teammates." Sasuke stated.

Naruto nodded. Naruto and Sasuke sprinted to the training field. When they were running threw the village, some of the villagers were giving glares to Naruto. Neither Sasuke nor Naruto knew why. Once they arrived at the training field, they saw Sakura leaning against a tree. The most surprising one was, Hatake Kakashi! He was actually there on time!

"Shimata..." Naruto and Sasuke thought.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I am just a clone of Kakashi. The real Kakashi got sick. The test will be held tomorrow." the Kakashi clone said. The clone dispersed.

"Well this was a waste of our times." Sasuke said.

"Sasuke-kun," Sakura asked, "Do you want to go on a date with me sometime?"

Naruto rolled his eyes.

"No." Sasuke said.

Sakura started to run home crying. She should be use to this! She asked Sasuke out, like, 100 times already! Literally!

"Let's go check on Hinata-Chan." Naruto said. "We can all go training." The Sakura incident seemed like it didn't even happen.

Sasuke nodded. "Let's go."

The two disappeared in a swirl of fire and wind.

With Hinata

Hinata walked along with her team, bruised. A LOT! Hinata, Kiba, and Shino barely passed their test. Kurenai made a genjutsu which made the Kyuubi pop up. When they get hit, it wasn't an illusion hit. It was an actual hit.

Shino noticed that something was off. The forest where they were all suppose to meet up only had about 20 apple trees. Kurenai said there was only 30. Kurenai also said that if something was not suppose to be there, you are in a genjutsu. Once Shino found that out, they began working on a plan. It took several minutes, but the team managed.

Hinata had her Byakugan activated, but she couldn't find the weakness. Kurenai-Sensei explained yesterday that, there were layers of genjutsu. The more layers the user applies, the harder it gets to crack it.

Once the team were near Ichiraku, the team departed. Kiba went to go to his house, as well as Shino. Hinata stayed at Ichiraku, waiting for Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto and Sasuke suddenly appeared right in front of Hinata, startling her. Naruto quickly apologized.

"Hinata-Chan," Naruto said, "Wanna go training?"

Sasuke quickly said, "I don't think she can't. She seems very wounded."

"I-I'm fine." Hinata said, "I am just tired."

"Your well being is important than training Hinata-Chan." Naruto said. "Go to the hospital and get your self fixed up."

Hinata was disappointed, but nodded. Hinata limped to the hospital. Naruto looked at Sasuke and said, "That just leaves us." Naruto said. Sasuke nodded and the two headed to the forest.

In a few hours, the two best friends were seen heading towards Ichiraku Ramen Shop. Once the two sat down, the two of them both ordered Miso Ramen.

In a couple minutes the ramen arrived. The duo dug in the ramen. In a few minutes, Mizuki arrived. Mizuki breathed deeply and sat down. He pretended to act like he cared.

"I see you guys are still down about the whole Hinata thing." Mizuki said.

"Of course we are," Naruto said, "We are the best friends."

"I know, so I decided I should help you guys." Mizuki said.

"How?" Naruto questioned.

"Well," Mizuki started to stat, "If you can steal the forbidden scroll, and learn a jutsu, you can have Hinata on your team instead of Sakura."

"Really?" Naruto yelled. Sasuke didn't say anything. He kept a close eye on Mizuki.

"Something's up..." Sasuke thought.

"Yup," Mizuki said, "Just steal it and give it to me and I will report it to the Hokage."

"No problem!" Naruto yelled. He grabbed Sasuke's wrist and sprinted out of the shop. Mizuki noticed a suspicious look Sasuke gave him before he left.

"No problem," Mizuki thought, "There are only genin." Mizuki then left the Ichiraku shop with an evil grin.

Hokage Tower

Naruto and Sasuke slid past the Jonin guards, undetected. Naruto and Sasuke ran up the stairs, and opened the door a little to sneak a peek inside. No one was inside.

"No one is inside," Naruto said, "Let's go."

"I still don't think this is a good idea." Sasuke said. He was worried. Something about Mizuki made him feel... suspicious.

"It's ok!" Naruto said, "Mizuki-Sensei even said so!"

Naruto and Sasuke slid past the door. Sasuke activated his Sharingan to see if he could find a chakra signature. Pretty soon, Sasuke found a safe inside the wall. Sasuke broke the safe open, and told Naruto he found it. They both dashed out the door and headed to the forest.

The Third Hokage, also known as, to Naruto, 'old man', walked into his office. He just got back from talking a stroll threw the village. It was a beautiful night, so the Hokage decided to take a walk. When the Hokage sat down in his chair, he noticed something was off. He quickly realized what it was, and pressed a button, summoning Anbu and Jonin and a few Chunin.

"The scroll of forbidden seal has been stolen! Get it back at once!" Sarutobi demanded.

"HAI!" The ninja group yelled out. All of the ninja quickly jumped away, not knowing it was Naruto and Sasuke who stole the scroll.

Naruto and Sasuke

Naruto and Sasuke were sitting down looking threw the scroll. The had no clue that dozens of shinobi were out looking for them. They both had now clue that they are the most wanted people right now. Naruto was now seen looking threw the scroll with Sasuke right beside him. Sasuke found a cool fire jutsu and decided to learn that. He still didn't like the feeling he was having. Naruto would have noticed it too, but he was to excited. Naruto found a jutsu and started to copy the seals. When Naruto was about to finish the hand signs, Iruka arrived.

"Naruto?" Iruka asked.

"What's up?" Naruto asked.

"Why do you have that scroll?" Iruka screamed and questioned.

"Mizuki-Sensei said if me and Sasuke can learn a jutsu from here, Hinata will be on our team."

Iruka looked at Sasuke, to find him nodding.

"Dammit Mizuki." Iruka thought. Before Iruka knew it, he felt a very sharp pain on his back. He slowly turned his head to find a giant shuriken stabbed in his back.

"Your too late now Iruka!" Mizuki yelled out as he jumped out of the trees. Iruka felt weak and started to fall to his knees. He fell flat on his face.

"Iruka-Sensei?" Naruto asked as he fell to his knees. He glared at Mizuki and yelled, "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!"

Mizuki didn't respond. He dashed to the scroll. Once he was in arm's reach, Sasuke tackled him to the ground.

"Naruto!" Sasuke yelled out.

Naruto nodded and created a clone. He told the clone to go grab the scroll and get out of here. The clone nodded and dashed off with the scroll in his hand.

"NO!" Mizuki said. Mizuki ran to the clone.

"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"

A blast of wind made Mizuki slam threw a couple of trees. Mizuki stood up and got rid of the wood sticking out his skin. Mizuki dashed to Naruto, fist raised. Naruto didn't respond.

"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!"

A fire ball hurled toward Mizuki, making Mizuki changed course. He jumped up and attached himself to a tree.

"Rookies of the year are proving their title." Mizuki stated.

"Hn."

Naruto decided it is time to get serious. This will be his first real fight.

"Time to bring out Red Death." Naruto thought. Naruto bit his thumb and made blood leak out. Naruto applied the blood to his seal on the wrist. Suddenly about two yard scythe appeared in Naruto's hand. Naruto swung his scythe about his head and got in his special stance.

"MIZUKI!" Naruto said as he charged.

Mizuki was surprised at the sudden show of weaponry. Mizuki got out two kunais. Sasuke did the same as well. Mizuki dashed to Sasuke, deciding he will be the easiest. He ignored Naruto for now. It was difficult to fight two rookies of the year at once. Mizuki ducked and kicked Naruto in the stomach sending him flying to a tree. Mizuki charged at Sasuke. Sasuke, with his Sharingan, managed to invade all of Mizuki's attacks. Sasuke ducked and swung with his right hand, making a dash appear on Mizuki's shirt. Mizuki quickly got back on his move and attacked Sasuke. Naruto tackled Mizuki to the ground and got ready for his fight.

Mizuki got up and swung. Naruto blocked it with the butt of his scythe, and swung the blade at Mizuki's head. Mizuki ducked and swung at Naruto's shin. Naruto did a back flip and ended up at Mizuki's back. Naruto quickly put the curved part around Mizuki's neck. Sasuke appeared in front of Mizuki, and stuck out his two kunais.

"Done." Naruto said.

"Give up." Sasuke said.

"Heh," Mizuki said, "DIE UCHIHA!"

Mizuki poofed out of existence.

"Clone." Naruto and Sasuke thought. Before Sasuke knew it, he had a giant shuriken sticking out of his back. Sasuke struggled to stand up, but lost. He fell to his knees and fell flat on his face.

"Sasuke!" Naruto yelled. "Get up!"

Sasuke didn't reply.

"Get up Sasuke!" Naruto pleaded.

Nothing.

"SASUKE!" Naruto cried.

Naruto steadily got up, with his fists clenched. His body was shaking. This was to much to handle. Naruto felt something change in his body. He felt like something new happened. Before Naruto knew it, he screamed out in pure rage, body crackling with electricity.
