Three years later
All of them are twelve now and let's just say, that they have grown. Toshiro is about five foot exact and Naruto is four foot ten from proper dieting and exercise. Hinata is four foot ten also along with Maya being an inch taller than her. They all look very fit and muscular for a bunch of preteens and all of them (including Hinata) had a lot of confidence in them now. They were all prepared for the genin exams; they have all trained tirelessly for this moment for years and they were prepared to destroy them.
They walked in together and immediately they sat down in their seats and waited for the exams to begin. Iruka walked in and wordlessly just handed out the exams as they're so many of them and so little time to waste. Toshiro flashed through it along with Maya and Hinata. Naruto took his time, but he eventually finished. They were then instructed by more academy instructors to come outside for weapons and the taijutsu portion. Naruto and Toshiro threw perfect marks in even the senbon while Maya got a nine in senbon and an eight in kunai. Hinata got a ten in shruiken and a nine in the other two.
In the taijutsu portion, Toshiro got absolute perfect marks in it and defeated his opponent in seconds. Naruto got the second highest marks, followed by Hinata and then Maya. The four then proceeded to finish the genjutsu detection portion in which Toshiro and Hinata did it instantly, then Maya in two seconds and Naruto in eight seconds. Then Toshiro effortlessly completed all three ninjutsus without hand signs and he had been give his head band along with perfect marks and rookie of the year title. Maya had completed the clone without hand signs, but needed to use them for the other two. Hinata then used hand signs for all three, but still got high marks. As for Naruto he did everything perfectly an even managed a decent bunshin which passed anyway. Now everyone had sat down and prepared for Iruka to speak.
"First, I would like to congratulate all of you on your performances on this exam. Many of you have done excellent in these phases of the exam. I am proud to have been the sensei to such gifted young shinobi; you may find all the final class standings on the door. The last things I must say is that the rookie of the year is Toshiro, top kunoichi is Satsuki Uchiha and the number third standing member is Maya Senju. Your new senseis will come tomorrow so please be here same time as usual for them to arrive. I wish you all the best of luck, and I hope you all make me proud", finished Iruka with a smile.
Everyone had rushed over to the door to look at where they stand in the class for the final time. Maya is seething in anger at being ousted by her rival no less.
"I don't get why she's above me! I'm better than her!" she said angrily.
"Because I'm just more superior to you baka", the person of interest had suddenly said coolly to her.
"You're not more superior to anybody you emo bitch! Why don't you get over your families death already and stop pissing people off!?"
"What did you say about me and my family you whore!?"
"That's it! I'm beating you into the ground right here!" said Maya full of rage.
Toshiro then got in front of her and held her back from the front as Satsuki then brushed her large tits up against his back. This caused some turmoil for both personalities at feeling two woman's bosoms sandwiching him from the front and back. Naruto just stood there as he didn't want to get pound by two girls who could both probably whoop his ass. At least one of them can and that he knows for a fact. Toshiro finally had enough of being sandwiched by the two and he shoved Satsuki back, revved up his buzz axe and waved it in front of him defensively.
"Now cool it both of you. This isn't how a shinobi acts in the slightest. I am deeply ashamed at both of you for your actions and Iruka-sensei will be ashamed as well."
"So your friends with a Senju now?" she asked mockingly.
"I'm trying to be neutral here because I care about both of you."
"You don't care about me in the slightest!"
"I do; I tried to comfort you about your clan's death, but you waved me off and slapped me away. So I stopped trying and decided to give you some space and that didn't work. So then I just left you be because obviously you didn't want me around anymore."
"I did want you around and I still do!"
"Then why didn't you say anything to me!? Why did you have to wait now when this could have been settled years ago!?" he yelled to her as he lost his cool now.
She then turned around and left, but many could see that she was crying as she left the classroom. Toshiro can even see the tears falling as she ran out of the room.
"You two were friends?" asked Maya.
"Yes we were friends. I've been meaning to befriend her again after we all made genin because I thought she would be the old Satsuki if she got the promotion, but I guess not. I'll go apologize to her later."
"Don't bother Toshiro. She doesn't deserve such a nice person like you in her life."
"I think she's lonely; I intend on befriending her again and no one is stopping me", he said firmly.
"Fine", she huffed annoyed.
She then left the classroom without even saying goodbye.
"She'll get over it. Let's see what rank you got Naruto."
"Yeah, I'm eager to now too."
They went over to check his scores and he got seventh place. He mostly outclassed most people in taijutsu, bukijutsu and ninjutsu. But he had horrible genjutsu detection skills, didn't do too great in the test portion and combine with only a slightly above average report card and that's got him seventh. They also found that Hinata is fourth of the class which made the two boys smile at their friend's success.
The two left because it seemed that Hinata left early which was a shame, because they both wanted to congratulate her in her test scores, making genin and making fourth of the class. They then decided to go out to celebrate at Ichiraku ramen where Toshiro had to pay for the bill. Thankfully it wasn't too high as he had Naruto cut down on the ramen over the years. Now he only eats about two and maybe three bowls if he has the appetite for it. He now eats mostly meat that he hunts himself or with Toshiro and plenty of vegetables while keeping low on the carbs. Although he doesn't eat high fat like Toshiro because he refuses to drink pure animal fat no matter how good it tastes to Toshiro.
They then departed as Naruto had suspected that there was going to be a test of some kind that he'll be put through and he wanted to be prepared for it. Toshiro however had plans to see a certain Uchiha. He first got out a metal gas mask with both eyes visible. It had a strap that went around his head and over it until the straps met up in three directions. The mask would turn put a genjutsu on him that made him seem bald and have a tanner complexion. He found that mask in his father's old storage seals and he decided to wear it whenever Sensō came out. It was for no particular reason other than that Sensō liked it and it brought out his "inner meat".
He arrived at her apartment and knocked on her day. She opened the front door and looked at Toshiro with her eyes puffy, red and tear marks on her face.
"Hello Satsuki. Can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Why should I talk to you after you made me cry?" she said emotionally.
"I'm sorry I have made you cry. It wasn't my intention; I came to extend something out to you."
"Come in."
She then opened the door and let him and the apartment didn't look too bad. It wasn't fancy or it would be favoritism on the Hokage's part; it was something more average, but still homey to fit a family in. She closed the door and got in front of him and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"So what did you want to extend out to me?"
"An olive branch."
"You want to give me just an olive branch?" she asked with intense force in her voice.
"It's a metaphor for renewing our friendship."
Satsuki looked stunned at the thought of having her former friend back, but then she had a question that needed to be asked.
"Why did you wait until now?"
"Because I thought you would have moved past the death of your family when you achieved genin."
"What if I told you I still haven't gotten over it?"
"It doesn't matter to me. I want you as my friend again and whether you moved past it or not doesn't matter because I miss you and all the fun times we had. I would like to bring back those moments I've had with you and create even better ones with you", he said thoughtfully.
Satsuki smiled at him a true smile and he smiled back. She then gave him a hug around the neck and buried her face in his chest while he hugged her upper back.
"I missed you too Toshiro and I would love to be your friend again. I always wanted you as my friend, even when I slapped you I wanted to still be your friend. The reason I never said anything earlier is because it looked like you moved on with Maya and then Hinata. So I let you be because I thought you were happier without me."
"I was never as happy as when I just had you Naruto as my friends. Sure they made me happy, but they were never able to fill the place that you had in my heart. You're my second friend after all and I still considered you a friend after that incident. I just put you on hold and waited until you were in a better place."
"Hehehe. You really are a sweet guy and I appreciate your honesty and thoughtfulness."
"So we're friends again?"
No words were needed as she nodded her head furiously and the buried her head in his chest in order to feel the heartbeat that he had. She suddenly felt it pick up a lot and she stepped back to get a look at him and he dropped on his knees and held his.
"LET ME OUT LITTLE MAN! I WANT TO MEET PRINCESS OF FANTASIA AND IT'S TIME FOR MY MEAT JUICES TO TAKE OVER!"
'Hold on Sensō! Let me just explain to her about you and my predicament.'
"YOU DO ENOUGH EXPLAINING! LET ME EXPLAIN OUR STORY OF BONES AND DECAY!"
"Toshiro what's going on? Are you okay?" Satsuki asked worriedly.
"I have no time to explain, but basically I have two personalities inside my body. One is me and the other is Sensō. I come out during the day while he comes out at night. Right now it's his time to come out and he really wants to meet you", he explained to her hurriedly.
"That's unheard of. I always knew something was up with the fact that you could never hang out at night and ran off whenever night was approaching. But I don't judge for it in the slightest and I'm glad you told me now rather than back then. Because I never would have understood you and possibly not have been friends with you anymore."
"He's co-
He then went silent as he slumped forward and he wordlessly took out a metal gas mask with two open holes that looked very intimidating to her. He then put it on his face, then suddenly his hair disappeared and his skin tone got darker. He then rose up and she immediately noticed that his entire demeanor changed. This one had a more primal demeanor and unlike the calm and thoughtful demeanor that Toshiro excluding. She also noticed that his eyes didn't shine with that same intelligent gleam that Toshiro's had. He even seemed very psychotic and unstable. He just stared at her as if analyzing her every move; like a hunter hunting its prey.
"Hi", she said shyly.
"Hello!" it said in a loud psychotic tone.
"You must be Sensō right?"
"Yes I am princess of fantasia!"
"What!?" she said furiously as she hated to be called names.
"I didn't mean to get the blood pumping through your meat sack! I meant it in a plotuonically!" he stated with some difficulty.
"You mean platonically?"
"Yep yep yep! My meat smarts can't pronunce some of your meat tongue!"
"So you can't actually say some words?"
"Yep yep yep!"
"Okay. You can call me whatever you just called me."
"Thank you princess of fantasia!"
"You're welcome. Now how did you exactly come to be?"
"To protect the little man from having his poop chute penetrated by the evil man's meat snake!"
"So basically you protect him from harm?"
"Yep! And I provide the meat to his devouring's while he eats the gooey fatty stuff and those horrible plants! I hate plants!"
"It doesn't surprise me in the latest."
"I would love to doing the meat chattering some more, but the hunt cannot wait any longer. There's meat to hunt and meat TO EAT!" he said as he shouted the last part.
"Not so loud baka! You'll disturb the neighbors!"
"Sorry! I get full of jolliness when I think and chatter about meat!"
"I can tell. Tell Toshiro I said goodbye and tell him I hope to see him on my team tomorrow."
"Yes princess!"
"Hehehe, you're both so adorable. Goodbye Sensō."
"Goodbye princess!" he said in a somewhat of a smooth way.
She blushed as he left the apartment because she noticed that subtle smoothness of his voice.
"Ahhh, what did I get myself into kaa-san? The boy that you would like for me to date is crazy, but he still has a heart of pure gold in both of his personalities. Would you still love me if I didn't avenge you and instead chose him?" she asked to no one in particular.
Suddenly a poster had hit her window what she saw on it had shocked her. The first word she read was yes followed by some other crap, but the most noticeable word is yes. From that moment on, Satsuki began to believe in the super natural. As an answer to her question had been answered.
"I'm glad you would accept me if I chose him over you, but I'm still unsure about myself around him. I don't know whether I want to be dealing with someone of his problems."
Nothing replied back so she just decided to head to bed and prepare for what tomorrow would bring to the table.
The next day
Toshiro made his way to the academy with a new attire. He had on a white and blue tank top, black anbu pants and a belt which held his pouch and his mask which was strapped on to his left thigh. He also had his buzz axe and tachi on his back and his wakizashi was nowhere to be found. He took confident steps as he knew of what lies ahead and was ready for it. He could feel that three figures were watching the academy. He had a feeling they were the instructors of the three teams that would pass. Yes he knew exactly about the true genin exam and that only nine genin can actually make it out of the twenty seven or thirty genin that were around.
He made his way inside and to the classroom. He walked in and saw Satsuki and immediately gave her a wave and a smile. She did the same to him. They both then felt a cold chill come over them and so did the other former classmates that arrived. Maya was standing at the top of the stairs leading to the desks and she looked furious. She stormed down the steps and in front of Toshiro.
"So are you and her a thing now!?" she asked rudely.
"No we're not a thing, we're just friends."
"What did I tell you about being her friend!? You're too good for someone like her!"
"Oh and you think you're better for him!?" asked Satsuki.
"Yes I do! Because I didn't push him away like you did and I always stayed loyal to him unlike you!"
"She's was a different place then and now she's back, right?" Toshiro asked Satsuki.
"Right."
"Why the hell are you defending her over me!?" she asked angrily.
"Because she's my friend and you're attacking and insulting her right now."
"How- Uuuugggghhh!"
She stormed out of the room and then they could hear the sounds of ground being pounded over by the academy training ground. Toshiro tried to go, but felt three hands grip him by the shoulder. He turned around to find Iruka, Satsuki and Naruto grabbing on to him.
"Don't go Toshiro/Toshi-chan", they said seriously.
"She's in a very foul mood and you're the center of it", said Satsuki.
"I don't want my prized student to be killed so early", said Iruka.
"Just leave her be. She's jealous that her rival is friends with you and thinks she might ruin her chances with getting with you."
"Wait! Maya likes him!?" asked Satsuki and Iruka as well as some nearby classmates that heard it.
Everyone immediately perked up at this and started to really pay attention to the conversation.
"We don't know that for sure Naruto."
"Toshi-chan its right in front of you! How can you not see that!?"
"Naruto has a point. Now that I think about it, his analysis is right. You became the center of her world the moment she met you and that was why she chose to sit with you over anyone else", said Iruka.
"Anyways, sit down and we'll get started on giving out the teams. That goes for all of you trying to get a peak on our conversation."
Everyone then went to sit down and Maya had just arrived back, but she still looked furious and she refused to even acknowledge Toshiro's existence at the moment.
"Alright. Now that you're all here, let's get started on teams. Team one is…"
The first six teams had flew by quickly, but the next few teams ha popped up.
"Team seven is Naruto Uzumaki, Satsuki Uchiha, Toshiro and Sakura Haruno."
Toshiro and Naruto high fived each other, Satsuki smiled, Sakura looked excited and Maya just let out a low growl that only Toshiro could hear. He was starting to think that Naruto is right about her liking him.
"Your sensei is Kakashi Hatake. Team eight is Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyūga, Shino Aburame and Maya Senju."
Maya looked relieved that she at least gets to be with one of her friends. She'd rather be with Toshiro ad Naruto, but she can deal with being with Hinata. Kiba only gave off a feral grin at the thought of being with two beautiful girls and Shino only nodded. Although he despised the fact that he would be with a moody Senju, a feral dog man and a girl with zero self-confidence when it comes to feelings. But he predicted that he would end up with them to form a tracking team and to have a medic and protégé to their sensei.
"Your sensei is Kurenai Yuhi. Team nine is still in rotation and team ten will be Ino Yamanka, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akamichi. Your sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi. I again wish you all the best of luck and your sensei's will arrive here shortly."
Elsewhere
Kakashi Hatake is currently on the roof of a building and watching Iruka give out the team names. Today is the day that he decided to put past his grief and his failures. This time, he had to be at his utmost attention. He has to deal with the son of his sensei and the nine tails container. He had to train the last Uchiha and convince her to not go rogue or try to go after Itachi. Then he had an insane young boy who drinks animal fat and eats vegetables at night, then eats tons of meat during the day. He had to bring him back to sanity and get rid of this alternate "personality" of his. The last person is a total loser and he doubted that she would be able to pass his test.
He saw Iruka finish his dialogue and he shunshined into the room.
"Team seven, come with me to the roof", he said coolly.
He then waited as his students had come down the steps. He couldn't but see a white haired girl that looked vaguely like Jiraiya and a lot like Tsunade glare at Satsuki and then give a look of sadness Toshiro. He stored it away for later as both of them should now of her jealousy and infatuation with Toshiro. He then guided them to the roof and he sat on the edge while his students sat on a bunch.
"Alright, now that you're all here. Let's get to introductions. Who would like to start first?"
"Can you go sensei so we can get a good idea on what to say?" said Sakura.
"Sure thing pinky. My name is Kakashi Hatake my likes: you'll find out later or if you're worthy. Dislikes: same as likes, hobbies: same as the other two, dreams: I don't think to the future. I know all kinds of ninjutsu up to jonin and my affinity is lightning, but I know jutsu in water and earth. You're next blondie", he said cheerily.
Are you kidding me is the thoughts of all them, but Toshiro as he knew he did it for a reason.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. My likes are ramen, Toshi-chan and my friends as well as training and getting stronger. Dislikes are people that insult and hurt my friends, rapists, child molesters and some psychos out there. My hobbies are training and working out. My dream is to become Hokage! I know taijutsu, ninjutsu and two bukijutsus. I don't know my affinities but I can use jutsu in wind, fire and earth."
Kakashi was taken aback by those statements. 'Man. Who's training this kid? He's learned more than I can possibly hope for' he thought to himself.
"You're up pinky."
"My name is Sakura Haruno. My likes are strong willed people and my friends. My dislikes are Naruto and Toshiro!" she said fiercely to them. Naruto growled at her while Toshiro just gave her an impassive stare.
"My hobbies are tending to my flower garden. My dream is to be as strong as Satsuki. I know taijutsu, ninjutsu and some genjutsu. I don't know my affinities yet."
'Figures you won't know much'.
"You're next guy with the tank top on" said Kakashi. 'I can't think of a name to call him that isn't racist' he thought.
"My name is Toshiro, my likes are vegetables, training, my four friends and eating. My dislikes are rapists, child molesters, some psychos and people who harm others without reason. My hobbies are getting stronger, learning and creating new jutsu and training. My dream is for a world where children will not be raped and/or beaten by their parents. I know all the types, but fuinjutsu. They're all up to genin level, but the highest is jonin level and that's in two types of ninjutsu. I don't know my affinities, but I do know jutsu in all five types of elemental ninjutsu."
"Which elemental ninjutsu is the easiest that comes to you?" asked Kakashi.
"Earth is first and then water."
Kakashi suspected that he's hiding something from him in some way, but he definitely did tell the truth so he dismissed it for now.
"Last, but certainly not least. You're up mini Izuna."
She gave him an angry glare at being called a "mini Izuna", but she dealt with it.
"My name is Satsuki Uchiha. My likes are training and my one and only friend. My dislikes are people that are loud and obnoxious, cheaters and being called names. My hobbies are learning more types of ninjutsu and training. My dream… I don't exactly know for sure anymore as I'm stuck in between two of them. One I will not say and the other is avenging my clan by killing my brother. I know genjutsu, ninjutsu, taijutsu and bukijutsu and I only have one affinitie as far as I can tell. And that's in fire and I only know fire ninjutsu."
'Okay… so three of them know elemental ninjutsu already while the other is way behind them. There's no I can keep a fourth one without stunting the other three's progress. Three of them are excellent prodigies beyond belief and they deserve so much better. Maybe Sakura will be terrible at the exam so I can drop her from these three.'
"Okay… so it looks like you three are way ahead of Sakura, but that's okay. I'm sure you can catch up", he said, but the other three knew it was a flat out lie to her face.
"So now we will be doing a little test."
"Test!? What test!? We made genin already!" exclaimed Sakura.
"Ma ma Sakura. This test is to determine whether you've earned your rank as genin. If you fail, then you will go back to the academy or you can chose to just to drop out of the shinobi corps. Now the test is survival training. I'll explain more at training ground seven."
With that he shunshined. Then Naruto and Satsuki shunshined and Toshiro who really didn't want to, had picked up Sakura (who protested loudly) and shunshined over to training ground seven.
Alright guys! So I just checked my other story and it's still getting a load of support so I think I might put this story on hold until I finish or stop with it completely. I'll post one more chapter of this and I'll put down my final decision with it. I'm sorry if I disappointed any of you, but it's just the way things are. Take care guys and have a good day/night!
