Chapter 4 the Savior
Disclaimer: Again? Oh well….I again do not own anything... =(
*edited for adding names that me and my beta missed while going over. I will update soon tho ^_^*
The soft morning sunlight seeped through the rust stained windows of the small apartment and woke the slumbering blonde from a peaceful slumber. Naruto slowly opened his shiny blue eyes and got used to the sunlight.
He looked around his bedroom and noticed his once bight green plants were turning a droopy faded green. 'I have to water those soon and get ready for the mission.' Naruto started thinking while figuring out what else he had to do today.
Naruto had got out of bed and looked at the clock, 5A.M., "I have 2 hours to get ready, that's plenty of time." The blonde spoke aloud to the eerie quietness of the sunrise.
Naruto walked into the bathroom and got into the shower, letting the cold water rush down his lithe body. He could see his ribs as he looked down. The blonde got out of the shower and quietly got dressed in his usual orange jacket.
The blonde ninja made his way to the kitchen to get the watering can. He made his way to the gray colored sink and the faucet turned on with a "squeak", and filled the can to the brim with water.
"Okay, let's do this." Naruto shouted to the plants. As he watered the plants he talked to them, even if he did get a little sidetracked with the conversation.
"I had this wonderful dream, it was amazing. Kakashi-sensei and I spent some time together and we had a blast."
'Kit, that actually happened.' Kyuu chuckled at the now shocked and shuttering blonde. "W-was it really r-real?"
'Yes, brat it was real.'
"Was it a trick? I mean why would he do that? Shouldn't he be more interested in Sasuke?"
'Kit, you are asking so many questions. He may be staring to realize something, just open up your heart, start letting more people in.'
"Kyuu, I don't know if I can, I can try but last night was fun and I want to do it again."
'Ummm, you know you should probably pay attention to what you're doing.'
"Huh? What do you mean?"
'Look at the plant.' Kyuu was roaring with laughter as he was watching Naruto pour so much water on one plant that it started to overflow onto his green carpet.
"Ahhhhhh, Mr. Snowdrop I'll add more soil and put you in a new pot right away." Naruto shouted at the baby Silverbell sapling. He went to find a new fresh pot and searched the kitchen for food.
"I can't wait for this mission, as soon as it is over, I can at least buy some food." He found an apple and a small box of rice in the deep back of a cupboard and started cooking.
He finished the food and left for the team's meeting spot to get the mission. It was 6:30 and he was already busy.
He could see the red railing of the bridge coming up on the horizon and he saw Sakura and Sasuke waiting for the silver haired jounin.
"Hey guys!" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs, with a smile plastered on his face.
"Hey Naruto…where were you yesterday?" Sakura asked shyly.
"Yesterday…Oh sorry Sakura I was really busy." Her blonde teammate rubbed the back of his head and laughed.
"Naruto, just in case Kakashi didn't tell you, don't mess this mission up, you're stupid enough to mess up a simple "D" rank."
Sasuke glared at Naruto who looked like he had no emotion.
"Don't worry Sasuke, I won't." His face still showed no emotion, yet his voice had an angry tone in it.
Kakashi decided right then to but in before things got even worse, he popped up with another excuse, "Yo, sorry I'm late, I found this bright yellow cat and I had to help him find a home."
"Liar!" Sakura yelled. She noticed she said it by herself and looked over at Naruto and saw that he didn't have any expression on his face, and that scared her.
"Okay guys, let's start this mission. Today we are babysitting." Kakashi eye-smiled and looked cheerful.
"Hn" Sasuke looked indifferent to watching over some other person's brats.
"You're so cool Sasuke-kun!" Sakura looked like she didn't care and would rather watch Sasuke.
They arrived at their client's house. It was a huge, old warm-gray stone cottage with a beautiful front and backyard with a lot of space.
"Haru, Mai, May, come here and meet the team who is here to babysit you while I'm gone!" Mrs. Hatomi yelled to her five year-old son and her twin three year-old daughters.
The three kids came running towards their mother's voice and when they arrived, they acted shy and behaved like little angels.
"Hello, I am Hatake Kakashi; this is Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uzumaki Naruto." Their sensei pointed to the respected genin.
"Okay, I should be back by 2 P.M. Lunch can be made from whatever that is in the fridge." Mrs. Hatomi kissed her kids goodbye and left to do whatever she needed to do.
As soon as the mom left, the kids went crazy.
"Come back here Mai!" yelled Sakura chasing after the small three year old. "I'm not Mai! I'm May!" The dark haired girl screamed.
"I'm Mai!" yelled a similar dark haired girl in the kitchen messing with the soon to be lunch. "Nooooo Mai!" Sasuke could be heard yelling for the first time at the young child.
Naruto and Kakashi sweatdropped while watching the two thirteen year-olds run after the three kids. Sasuke got fed up with babysitting and left with out saying anything.
"Sasuke-kun, what's wrong?" Sakura yelled running after Sasuke to see what was wrong, leaving Naruto and Kakashi alone with the three little devils.
Kakashi was having a little panic attack in his head as he has never really done this before without totally screwing up.
Naruto just calmly walked to the kids, and said something that Kakashi couldn't hear and like magic the children began to behave. Kakashi couldn't believe his eye, Naruto got them to calm down and was reading a story and making them lunch at the same time with shadow clones.
"How did you do that?" the silver haired jounin asked the cooking blonde haired genin.
"My secret." Naruto replied while chopping up some leaks. "You're really good with kids, Naruto."
"Thanks Kakashi-sensei."
"Lunch is ready!" he shouted to the three kids and put a plate down for Kakashi as well. "Eat up, I promise it is really good." Naruto smiled as he started to see the reactions on the kid's faces.
"This is really good, aniki!" Haru exclaimed
"Can we have this again nii-chan?" Mai and May shouted together.
"Well, I can give the recipe to your mom, but then it's up to her kay?" Naruto replied with a self-conscious grin. "When you're all done eating, we can finish the story, okay?" Naruto looked at the three kids who were talking with mouths full of food.
"Aniki, why aren't you eating anything?" Haru looked at Naruto with questioning black eyes.
"Oh, its okay, I'm not totally hungry, so eat up."
"Okay." Haru continued to eat.
While Naruto was talking and paying attention to Haru, Kakashi ate half of the curry and passed the rest to Naruto.
"What's this Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto looked at the plate of food. "The chef should at least eat some of the meal he prepared."
"Kakashi-sensei its okay, just like I said to Haru, I'm not hungry." Kakashi looked into the pot Naruto cooked in and saw that it was empty.
"Naruto, if you do not eat it, we will need to have to have a talk after the mission is over." Kakashi threatened lightly as not to gain the attention of the three eating children.
"Fine, I'll eat it, okay?" Naruto ate some of the food off the plate and looked to the children.
"Okay, is everyone ready to for me to finish the story?" The blonde asked sweetly to the children.
"We are!" both Mai and May agreed and Haru just cheered. Naruto got three small cartons of milk and made the kids get into bed and handed them the milk.
"Okay, let's continue… "Oh, Beast don't die!" she cried, "You are so kind, and I do love you! You are ugly, but your goodness is easy to see!" With Beauty's words, the beast changed into a handsome prince. "An old fairy turned me into a beast to teach me a lesson," said the prince, "I was so cruel to animals that I thought ugly. The spell would be broken only when someone grew to love me in spite of the way I looked." Naruto looked at the three children in bed and they had fallen into a deep sleep, hopefully dreaming of their own princes and princess.
"Their mom should be home soon, you're perfect at handling kids, totally opposite of me." Kakashi confessed.
"Really? I didn't know that. I wouldn't expect you to not know anything about babysitting. You always seem so perfect." Naruto was got off guard with Kakashi talking about himself.
The mom came home soon after the kids were put to sleep. "Oh my, what did you do, to make them sleep! And wasn't there four of you?" Mrs. Hatomi asked the two shinobi left.
"It was really easy, I just read them Beauty and the Beast." Naruto explained.
"As for the two others, they had some other business to attend to. I am truly sorry for that." The jounin had explained this time.
"Oh, its no problem at all, I'm just surprised that only two people were able to handle them, I hope I can count on you guys when I need them babysat again." had become a new long term client.
As they were dismissed, they left to go to the hokage to give the report and get paid. They jumped from building to building in complete silence. They walked inside the double doors and knocked letting Sarutobi know that they were there.
"Come in." the half team entered and Kakashi gave the report, telling the hokage about Sasuke and Sakura leaving at the beginning.
"It is dully noted that those two will not receive pay for this mission. So you two will split it."
The amount was $50, so here is $25 for you and you." the hokage handed them the money and dismissed them.
"Bye Kakashi-sensei, I have to go do a couple things."
"Bye Naruto, I will see you tomorrow for training." Naruto and Kakashi split up and went their separate ways.
Naruto went to the nearest grocery store, to stock up on some food. He had $25. 'That's enough for twelve boxes of cup ramen, five apples, a bag of rice and just enough for a box of pocky!
He went down the aisles, not caring about all the glares he was getting and got all the stuff he could afford. He walked up to the cashier.
"I would like to buy this please." Naruto stated politely.
"Yeah, yeah." The cashier rudely sneered at the young costumer, as if Naruto was interrupting him from something important.
All in all, the shopping trip lasted ten minutes, and all his money gone as they charged double for him. As he walked back to his apartment he saw a help wanted sign in window of the slummy bar halfway from his apartment.
'I could go there in a henge to get another job. With everyone charging me extra, I can't afford anything.'
He unlocked his old apartment door and put the groceries in their rightful places. He locked the apartment back up and henged.
The now long white-haired, blue-eyed twenty-six year-old man strolled confidently into the bar.
"Hey, can I speak to the manager." "Yeah, sure thing." the man behind the bar had left to get the boss.
"Is everything okay?" the manager asked in an official tone.
"Ya, I was just wondering if I could get the job."
"What's your name, son?"
"Toh Kashi" The henged Naruto replied.
"That's a very unusual name."
"Why, thank you, sir"
"Now, sonny, do you have any work experience?"
"No, but I am a very fast learner, so I can get it down in about an hour." Naruto had stated calm and composedly.
"Okay then, we can try you out, can you start right now?" the boss had questioned.
"Of course, but ummm sir, what do I call you?"
"Oh, sorry about that, can't have you keep calling me sir all the time, my name is Daichi Ren, but you can call me Ichi." the man in the tux swished his hand around.
"You can start with collecting orders and cleaning up dirty and used tabled." The boss's jet black hair swayed as he turned heading back to the end of the bar, where there was a small brown door that read 'Managers Office'.
"Okay thank you sir for giving me a chance!" Naruto (Toh Kashi) bowed as Daichi turned back to look at the newbie.
Naruto went back to the man serving drinks behind the bar. "Here Toh" The brown haired man threw an apron at Naruto.
"Thanks, but how did you know my name?" Toh rubbed the back of his neck.
"Sorry, 'bout that, I listened in, you know a new guy may be working here and all, wanted to find out your name. Oh by the way the name's Takahashi Sakemoro."
Takahashi dried a shot glass with a piece of cloth and put it on the table. The two employees shook hands.
"It was nice to meet you Takahashi!" Naruto plastered on a bright smile and the bar's dim light proved worthless against his shinning smile adding warmth and color to the dull old-styled bar.
"T-thank you Toh Kashi, the pleasure is mine." The bartender stumbled over his words as he focused on Naruto's smile.
"YO WAITER!" a blonde haired man yelled from a corner booth. "Toh, that's you, go see what the man wants." The veteran bartender ordered.
Toh Kashi strolled over to the obviously drunk man. "Yes sir? What may I get you?"
"Ya, I want a vodka on rocks and make it snappy." The blonde put his head in his arm and put it on the table.
"You're order will be here soon." Naruto looked around and noticed how many people were at the bar and they all showed very different emotions. He turned back to the blonde and noticed he was no different.
"Sir, would you like to talk about your problem?" The blonde looked at the 26 year old.
"No' im fine, the stupid bitch left me again, that's all."
"Toh! Here's the order." The bartender had gotten the attention of the new worker.
Naruto went and got the drink and gave it to the man. "Here, you go. Maybe you should try talking with her, you know. Im sure she will understand." Naruto started talking with the blonde.
"No, I can't go back, I messed up big time. She hate's my guts now." The man had started to tear up.
"Look, in life you are bound to make mistakes, but the people close to you should be able to forgive it. If you guys talk about it and listen to each other, you will find the answers. In this world, the people closest to you should be the most important, no matter what happens." Naruto looked into the man's eyes.
"Yeah, you're right; I should go talk to her. Thank you." The man drank the shot in one gulp.
The man got up a little wobbly, but found his legs. The blonde paid for the drinks and even gave Naruto a tip for the advice.
The night continued on with Naruto collecting orders, cleaning tables and giving occasional advice. As the clock stroke two in the morning, the manager came out.
"Toh Kashi! You did an excellent job tonight. I welcome you aboard. You're shift would be from 10:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M., Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays." Daichi patted Toh's back and made Toh go forward with every tap.
"Thank you sir! I am glad that you are allowing me to stay." Naruto bowed as a polite way to say thanks.
"Ahhhh, kid you don't havf'ta be so formal." The manager continued to beat him on the back.
"You are also able to add or get rid of days as this is a civilian and ninja bar, so I know how some employees may need some special shifts.
"Thank you again Daichi!" Naruto put on his smiling face.
"Toh, you don't have to keep sayin thank you, and just call me Ichi, got it?" Daichi stopped pounding his back to grab onto Toh's shoulders.
"Okay Ichi, thank you, I get it." Naruto left with the bartender and manager laughing and saying "What're we gunna do with him?"
"I have no clue sir, but im glad you hired him, we needed the extra people."
The bartender went back to behind the bar to put up the apron. "Bye Ichi, have a nice night."
"Bye Takahashi, see you tomorrow." As the two waved, a new group of people arrived to start their shift, as the bar was open 24 hours.
Toh Kashi was walking towards his apartment and dropped the henge when he got far enough from the bar. Naruto realized how the dark of the night and the bright of the moon contrasted each other so nicely. They went together like a soft, hot steaming piece of pecan pie that just came out of the oven and a nice big heaping scoop of fresh vanilla bean ice cream.
He looked up at the giant moon and let the pale glow of the light wash over his features, showing how delicate and weak Naruto has gotten. The blonde trudged on and reached the staircase to his apartment.
He unlocked and opened the door allowing the cold from his house merge with the freezing cold from night and walked in. "I'm so tired." Naruto talked to the darkness within his run down home.
As he started getting ready to try and get some sleep, he smelled a distinct odor. "Ahhh that stinks, it smells like smoke and liquor." Naruto pinched his nose.
'Hey Kit? Was that really a good idea? I mean you will reek of cigarettes and liquor, you'll have less time to sleep and what about training?' The giant furball bombarded Naruto with a huge mass of questions.
"Kyuu, it's going to be okay, I can handle it, besides you know I need the money!"
'Okay, but when things look to me that you can't handle it and become chaotic, im'a take over you and take you some where to get help, you got that brat?'
"Yay, yay. I get it. Hey Kyuu…, you think that you can help me with my jutsu and genjutsu, that way I can stop things at the bar if I need to?" Naruto asked nervously quiet expecting a big NO.
'Sure kit, I will help you, but only in the morning before the team get's to the training spot, you need your sleep. Okay?'
"YEAH! I GET TO LEARN A NEW JUTSU!" The small blonde cheered.
'I said in the morning remember, now get some sleep Kit' The giant fox was starting to get a little headache from the loudness, but he was happy to see his kit this cheerful for once in Naruto's 13 years.
"Awwww Oh Kay, but can we at least start tonight?" Naruto pressured the fox.
'Fine, let's see, do you have some chakra paper on hand? If you do, put your chakra into it and we can see your affinities.' The fox boomed his voice within his host's head.
"Ummm, I think I have some in the draw along with my sealing supplies." Naruto rushed to the kitchen, got on his knees and looked under a table.
On the floor there was a circular seal painted in wired letters and symbols that looked like it took hours to complete. Naruto undid the seal and looked around the little cubby that popped out from the floor. The blonde found the chakra paper and redid the seal.
He casually walked to the couch and sat down. "Okay, now to put my chakra into it." As he started to slowly put his chakra into the small square paper, it cut into two pieces and one side burned to a dark crisp ash and the other side got all soggy it crumbled into itself.
"Heyyyy Kyuu? Was it supposed to do that?" Naruto looked confused and thought he did something wrong.
'Well, that was interesting. Kit, it looks like your affinities are wind, fire and water, but if you work hard and combine wind and fire, there may be a chance for you to get lightning as well.' Kyuubi grumbled about him giving fire affinity to the young host.
"Soooo, is that good!" Naruto jumped up and down like a little kid getting a huge rainbow lollipop. "Huh? HUH? Is it!"
'Ya kit, it is really amazing, that means you can learn even more.' The fox stated sarcastically and continued to mope about giving fire to his kit and about that it's not fair how he was fire and yet the blonde had at least 4 elements he would be able to control.
"That's sooo cool! I can't wait to try them out!" Naruto continued to jump up and down until his mind and body gave out from all that happened today and crashed on the couch easily drifting into a restless sleep, the last thing he saw was the dull blue clock staring at him, shouting the time. 3 A.M.
~~~~~ Now 5 A.M. ~~~~~~~
Naruto awoke to the feeling of dread filling his being. "Ugh! I still smell like that terrible smoke…."
The small blonde got off the older than the hokage couch and began to get undressed. As he walked to the bathroom the ashy smell followed the frail looking blonde.
Naruto stepped into the small shower and began to scrub away at his contaminated skin. "It won't come off! No worries though, im sure no one will notice very much."
Naruto toweled off and headed to his bedroom. He found his usual orange jumpsuit and put it on. He gathered his supplies and went to the front of the house and locked the door.
Naruto leaped from house to house not wanted to be spotted this early in the morning.
He arrived at the training field and no one was there and all he could hear were the young birds calling for their mom to get food.
"Hey Kyuu, wake up! You said you would help!" Naruto yelled to the sleeping fox.
'Okay you don't have to scream I already have a headache.' The kitsune grumbled not happy to be awoken from his peaceful slumber.
Naruto made 100 shadow clones within a blink of an eye. The furry tenant told the blonde the basics of the jutsu's and Naruto sent his clones off to do what the fox had mentioned. Each group of 10 clones succeeded in learning the very basics of the jutsu's. They continued until they could tell it was about 6 in the morning and Naruto was already breathing hard.
'Okay kit, just keep practicing what I helped you with, but let's get to work with the gen jutsu training as that is your lowest skill.' Kyuubi huffed as he was a powerful genjutsu wielder and his host barley had any skill of it at all.
"Fine let's start." Naruto was not looking forward to what that giant furball had up his sleeve.
'Kit, I have a serious question….Do you trust me?'
"Of course I do you're the only one I have!" Naruto shouted at the fox.
'Okay, I'm going to cause you to be under a genjutsu and you have to gather up your chakra and push it from your body causing it to escape.' Kyuubi explained to the blue-eyed kid.
"Kay…im ready for anything Kyuu!" Naruto was excited and nervous at the same time. Naruto's head bobbed up and down showing he was ready.
Kakashi had appeared from behind some trees and Naruto was afraid that he may have gotten caught trying to practice genjutsu as his sensei was walking closer and closer in his direction.
"Oh hiya Kakashi-sensei!"
"Yo Naruto, how are you this morning." Kakashi began his usual banter.
"I've been good, just a little tired?" Naruto rubbed the back of his neck while he answered.
"You know how we have been becoming closer as a time right Naruto?" Kakashi eye-smiled and began to step closer and closer to Naruto, until they were a few feet apart.
"Ya, I guess, but why are you here so early, you're never on time. Is everything okay?" Naruto became flustered and was worried something serious might have happened.
"Yes Naruto, everything is fine, but I knew you would be here early today and I wanted to see you." Kakashi had looked straight into Naruto's bright blue eyes.
"Why Kakashi-sensei, the team would be getting together in about an hour."
"Naruto I needed to see you alone." The one eyed jounin had suddenly become serious.
The blonde was confused with his sensei's actions. 'Why would he want to and need to see me when I am alone?' Naruto pondered the question and heard Kakashi faintly mumble something.
"I hope sensei will forgive me." Kakashi looked towards the hokage monument and spotted the fourth hokage's head.
"Forgive you for what Kakashi-sensei?" Before Naruto realized what was happening, Kakashi had pulled down his mask and smashed their lips together in one motion.
"This." Kakashi breathed into the blonde student's lips.
Naruto froze. 'What is going on, wait is he kissing me?'
As Naruto began to comprehend, he started to kiss back, moving his lips with the older mans, forgetting all about the training.
They broke for air and Kakashi began to kiss his jaw and lick his neck to the blonde's ear and he softly blew on Naruto's neck and felt his student shudder. "K-Kakashi-sensei." Naruto whispered.
"Hmmm." Naruto never realized how deep and mysterious his sensei's voice was until now.
"We shouldn't be…" Naruto's voice got caught off as Kakashi passionately kissed Naruto, licking the blonde's bottom lip for permission to enter. Naruto allowed the man to easily enter without a struggle.
Kakashi began to explore the younger's mouth coaxing Naruto's tongue to explore as well. Naruto easily gave in to the elder's demand, and the tongues began an extravagant dance, Kakashi always having the upper hand.
While they were kissing, the silver haired jounin began to take Naruto's jacket off and begin with his shirt. They broke for air before they had passed out and Kakashi took the opportunity to take Naruto's shirt all the way off exposing the small sun tanned skin.
"K-Kakashi-sensei I really don't think we should" Naruto's voice hitched as the cyclops began to continually kiss down from his neck to his sun kissed navel and the Kyuubi's seal.
"Kakashi-sensei…" Naruto looked at his sensei and realized he actually wanted this, he really did love his teacher, but he didn't deserve it, after all everyone hated him for being a monster.
"Yes Naruto?" Kakashi breathed into Naruto's ear making the blonde shiver.
"What about Sakura and Sasuke?" The student continued to look at Kakashi trying to think of anything that will make him stop before his sensei would do anything that he will later regret.
"What about them?" Kakashi didn't stop in his kisses, nips and licks exploring the student's lithe body.
"What if they see?" Naruto looked shocked and was trying to stay focused as Kakashi started moving down.
"Let them, who cares if they see." Kakashi replied huskily and gazed at the small blonde. 'This is crazy! Why is he doing this? Im not worth any of it.'
Naruto began to panic as Kakashi continued to go lower and lower.
'Wait a minute, what if this is the…..oooohhhhhh that would explain why he would be doing this!' Before Kakashi could reach the prize, Naruto gathered chakra and released it. "Release!"
With that his teacher disappeared with the wind and Kyuubi could be heard having a howling laughter inside the host's head.
'Took you long enough kit, I thought you were about to give in to your sensei.' The fox was trying not to pull a muscle from laughing so hard.
"You know, you could have told me THAT was the genjutsu." Naruto was fuming and embarrassed that he was tricked and now he wasn't sure of what to do. He knew that he liked his sensei, but didn't think he was worth his teacher's time especially when he was just a demon.
'Well I would have told you, then what would have been the point of even putting you under one?' The fox became defensive.
"Ya, ya, I guess that's true, ummm Kyuu is it weird that I like Kakashi-sensei? I mean he is a man and I'm a man to….." Naruto broke off and looked nervous.
'No kit, there is nothing to be embarrassed with, you never experienced this before and love is love no matter what, that is why I keep telling you that you should open that heart of yours. Hey, but lookie there now you know how to release a genjutsu.' Kyuu changed the subject, as he didn't want to explain what happens when two people fall in love just yet.
"Ya, I guess that's good, is it about seven yet?" Naruto still looked red and confused.
'Hmmm ya. Oh your team should be arriving soon.' Kyuubi was grateful that he didn't have to give the talk even if he did start it with a genjutsu.
Sasuke and Sakura came on time at seven, and now the game began with the three man team waiting for the always late sensei of theirs.
"Hey guys!" Naruto bounced back and tried to hide what happed with a wide fake smile that he knew they wouldn't be able to tell.
"Hey what are you doing here so early Naruto?" Sakura started a small discussion with her blonde teammate, while Sasuke would just go "Hn".
"Oh I just got here myself." Naruto laughed and rubbed the back of his neck smiling cheerfully at Sakura.
Kakashi had once again shown up an hour late and tried to get away with being late y using another excuse. "Yo team! Im sorry I got lost on the road of life and on this road I saw an old lady trying to get a cat from the tree, and you can't leave a defenseless old lady by herself so I had to help." Kakashi eye-smiled at his team.
"Ya right!" Sakura commented by herself.
"Okay, so let's start this training session." Kakashi looked at his three students and noticed the blonde had a slight twinge of red and was looking the other way.
"Is everything okay Naruto?" Naruto suddenly turned towards his sensei.
"Ya, im fine, I just think I got a slight fever right now, nothin' to worry about." Naruto turned back the other way. Kakashi began to worry and was concerned inside his head but continued to show a straight face.
"Well if you need to Naruto, go home and get some sleep, okay? I'll authorize it this time and right after the training session, I'll be there to check up on you." Kakashi smiled underneath his mask and let the blonde know that it was okay to leave.
"Thank you Kakashi-sensei, im'a go to sleep." Naruto turned to leave and started walking towards his apartment.
'Kit, why did you do that?' Kyuubi became very concerned.
"I can't do this right now, I can't be around him. I know they hate me and that hurt's especially when they and you are all I got!" Naruto started to tear up halfway to his apartment and saw the bar.
"You know what? I might as well use this free time to get some more money."
'Kit, shouldn't you be getting some sleep? I mean your running on two hours, plus your sensei is coming to check on you.' The overstuffed furball plushie tried to coax Naruto into going home instead of the dangerous bar.
"Kyuu, I can't sleep right now. I don't have that time; you know how everyone treats me unfairly and overcharges me." Naruto rebuffed to the tenant's concerned statement. Kyuubi instantly became quiet after agreeing with the blonde's argument.
Naruto started to henge back into Toh Kashi and walked into the bar.
"Welcome Toh!" Daichi was working behind the bar this morning.
"Hi Ichi, may I work right now? I have some free time right now and am not needed." Naruto scratched the back of his head swishing the white hair behind him.
"Ya sure, it's fine. Not many people are here this early in the morning, so if ya want I can teach the ropes of being the bartender, so you may work in that position as well."
Ichi had a bright smile for someone surrounded by drunks 24 hrs a day. "That's awesome! Thank you boss!" Toh exclaimed.
"Yah yah, okay let's begin. First, take that black apron and put it on and then come back over here." Toh grabbed the apron and threw it on. "Kay."
"Good, okay the hard liquors are on the right, the medium drinks are in the center and the softer gentler drinks are on left."
Daichi Ren explained the procedures, the mixtures of the beverages they offer and ones that the public requests. As they were just finishing up, a young woman walked in and sat down at the bar stand. "Here's your chance Toh, show me what you learned."
"Hi ma'am what would you like to drink?" Toh flashed a bright smile and the girl looked up. "Yeah, I would like a margarita."
"Okay your order will be done within a minute or two." Toh left to set up the beverage and came back with a margarita in hand.
"There you go miss." The young woman stared at Toh. "Thanks."
"Your welcome, just call me over here if you need anything else."
"Okay." The woman began to drink the beverage of her choice.
Toh walked back to the manager who was smiling and looked very pleased of his new rookie. "Good job Toh! I will place you as a bartender during your work of today. You will still have your previous job, but you will also have the option of bartending. Understand?"
"Yes I firmly understand my new duties."
"Good. Now you may continue to work until you have to leave." Toh continued to make drinks all the way passed 12 in the afternoon.
'I suppose the training session would be over by now.' Naruto thought of how Kakashi said he would check on him after it was finished and blushed. 'Could that mean he does care?' Toh sustained the blush on his face until he heard faint voices trying to get his attention.
"Sir, can I get a shot of Tequila!" a VERY loud yell could be heard from one of two people.
"Hey you order to, this is the springtime of our youth to be out drinking with a friend and my eternal rival." The tall man talked to the other man beside him.
"I don't want a drink!" The silver haired man protested.
"Bartender bring two of those shots!" The giant green best continued to yell.
"Okay sir, your order will be done soon." Toh acknowledged the new order and started to pour the shots.
Toh brought over the two drinks and out of shock he almost dropped the drinks from seeing the two senseis at the bar.
Hiya People! Sorry for the late update, i kept feeling this chapter was too rushed, but my beta say's "it's just fine" and "that it's good". Oh and "KEEP TYPING! IMA SHOVE THIS SHOE UP YOUR ASS IF YOU DON'T CONTINUE!" With that "great motivation" and your reviews i stayed up til 3 in the morning typing this out, and keeping an eye out for that beta of mine. . . I hope you guys will forgive me for not updating for awhile. I still feel like it's rushed, but i felt that i might as well update it. Please continue to review and i will try to reply back to them. I am sorry but i do not plan to write an actual lemon in this story as this is my first time even trying to write a fanfiction, but i am changing the rating to "M" just to be safe or if i decide otherwise. Oh and please continue to review and give me pointers and tips of what to do and not to do. Thank you! Now, i hope you enjoyed this new chapter of The Savior!
