Academy Year 2
Byakugan and Sharingan!?
The wind blows through the forest, making the leaves fly on their branches. Two blurs dahs through the leaves at high speeds. In front is Hinata, who dashes from tree branch to tree branch with Amir following behind. The two have been moving non-stop since they left Naruto to hold off the Kunoichi. Finally the two are nearly out of the forest.
"Hinata, up ahead!" Shouts Amir as Hinata sees the evening light breaking into the forest. With a surge of chakra, Hinata dashes out of the trees and skids to a stop.
Iruka has been outside the forest since the beginning of the Survival Test and widens his eyes at the sight of Hinata and Amir.
"Iruka-sensei!" Calls Hinata before explaining the situation and handing him the documents. Iruka grits his teeth and looks to Amir.
"Amir, you give this to Lord Hokage." Orders Iruka before looking to Hinata who pants.
"Hinata, you stay here." Says Iruka making Hinata widen her eyes.
"N-No, I'm coming with you," says Hinata, taking a stand, surprising Iruka and Amir, "besides you don't know the way." Iruka sighs before rubbing his head.
"Ah, forget it, show me the way!" Exclaims Iruka as Hinata nods her head and takes off. Iruka follows while Amir heads to the Hokage Residence. Iruka trails behind Hinata who hurries to the location. Iruka looks up at the fading sun and clicks his teeth.
"Damn it." Curses Iruka, making Hinata look back to him.
"I-Iruka-sensei?" Says Hinata, making Iruka look to her.
"I was told that a battle occurred near the place I sent you three but I was assured that the enemy was defeated." Says Iruka, disappointed in himself for sending his students into danger.
"Because of me, Naruto is in danger." Says Iruka while Hinata looks at him with no idea what to say before she giggles.
"Hinata?" Says Iruka as he looks at her giggling face.
"Sorry, it's just I was thinking what Naruto-kun would say if he saw you like this." Says Hinata with a smile while Iruka sweat drops and thinks. He sees an image of Naruto with folded arms and a stern gaze.
"Idiot, it is the job of us ninja to take on dangerous missions when no one else can." Says Naruto with a calm expression.
"So stop feeling sorry for yourself and get to work!" States Naruto bluntly as Iruka sweat drops and laughs sheepishly.
"Yeah, he would definitely say something like that." Chuckles Iruka with a smile. Hinata giggles and nods her head with a hum. Iruka hardens his eyes and the two pick up the pace.
"I just hope nothing bad happens." Thinks Iruka with some sweat running down his face. The two dash through the forest as the sun goes down.
Naruto OST 1 - Bad Situation
Naruto and Sasuke stand side by side as the three Kunoichi stand side by side. The stare down continues as the two younger ninja hold their weapons. Sasuke has a chokuto strapped to the back of his waist.
"How did you find me?" Asks Naruto as he glances at Sasuke who glances at him.
"I heard the commotion from my camp and decide to investigate." States Sasuke as the three Kunoichi glare at the newcomer.
"Where did this brat come from?" Growls a Kunoichi with short light brown hair.
"My, my, this village sure knows how to make cute young boys." Says the Kunoichi with long dark brown hair.
"It doesn't matter," says the silver haired Kunoichi with narrowed eyes, "since we lost the documents, we take the red haired boy as compensation." The other two Kunoichi nod at the words while Naruto hums.
"Well I guess we should start this." Says Sasuke as he looks to the Kunoichi with Naruto sighing.
"Just don't get in my way," says Naruto before glancing at Sasuke, "if you do… I can't guarantee I won't kill you by accident." Sasuke glances at Naruto as the tension rises.
"Funny, I was about to tell you the same thing." Says Sasuke before he smirks, making Naruto smirk. The two groups narrow their eyes before the silver haired Kunoichi looks to Sasuke.
"I'm guessing you won't turn around and leave?" States the silver haired Kunoichi as Sasuke looks to her.
"Not a chance." Says Sasuke, making the silver haired Kunoichi sigh.
"Fine then," says the Silver haired Kunoichi before glaring at Sasuke, "you'll just have to die."
End Song
"Well then," says Sasuke as he draws his chokuto and enters a stance, "shall we?" the silver haired Kunoichi snaps her eyes wide with strains converging on the pupils. She flashes through hand signs.
Naruto OST- Heavy Violence
"Katon Renkeijutsu (Fire Style: Synergy Jutsu)," says the silver haired Kunoichi as the two others follow her lead and weave hand signs. Naruto and Sasuke widen their eyes, "Karura (Garuda)." The three Kunoichi, each breathe a long stream of intense fire, which combine to form a flaming dragon. Sasuke narrows his eyes and flashes hand signs before looking to Naruto.
"Naruto!" Shouts Sasuke making Naruto click his teeth and flash through hand signs.
"Don't order me around!" Says Naruto as the two breathe in.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu)!" Shouts Sasuke as he breathes out a large fireball at the incoming fire dragon.
"Fūton: Daitoppa (Wind Style: Great Breakthrough)!" Shouts Naruto as he exhales a strong gust of wind that picks up dust in its path. Sasuke's fireball becomes empowered by Naruto's wind Jutsu and creates a blazing inferno. The two Jutsu meet and cause a blinding explosion that kicks up dirt and rocks. The forest shakes from the blast as Iruka and Hinata widen their eyes.
"Naruto-kun!" Shouts Hinata as she moves faster. The rocks fall from the sky as the three Kunoichi stand unharmed with the silver haired Kunoichi looking on. The forest is burning now from the attack with several trees on fire. The three widen their eyes when the dust clears and they see no sign of the two boys.
"Where did those brats go?" Asks the light brown haired Kunoichi as she looks around.
"Did they flee?" Asks the dark brown haired Kunoichi before the silver haired Kunoichi looks up.
"Above us!" Shouts the Kunoichi as Naruto and Sasuke come down with their weapons. The three Kunoichi separate. The silver haired Kunoichi evades by jumping forward, while the light brown haired Kunoichi evades by dodging to the right and finally the dark brown haired Kunoichi evades by dodging to the left. Naruto and Sasuke slam their swords down on the branch before Naruto glances back at the silver haired Kunoichi.
"Damn brats." Growls the silver haired Kunoichi before landing on a branch and jumping at them. Naruto throws a kunai at the Kunoichi who scoffs.
"Not good enough!" Shouts the Kunoichi as Naruto smirks. A close up of the kunai shows a sealing formula on the handle that glows before the kunai separates into four kunai, all attached with chakra.
"What!?" Shouts the silver haired Kunoichi in surprise as she is wrapped with the kunai and falls to the ground after hitting several branches. She groans and attempts to move but she is electrocuted by the chakra strings wrapped around her.
"Damn it!" Curses the silver haired Kunoichi as she reaches for a kunai and begins to slowly cut the rope. Looking from above is Naruto who looks to Sasuke.
End Song
"It won't hold her forever," says Naruto making Sasuke nod his head as they both turn to the two Kunoichi, "we need to finish these two."
"I'll take the one with the long hair." Says Sasuke, making Naruto nod his head.
"Good, she's a bit weird." Says Naruto as she remembers the woman licking him. The two nod and dash at their opponents.
Souten Kouro- Lu Bu Theme
"Come on!" Shouts the light brown haired Kunoichi as she throws several shuriken at the incoming Naruto. Naruto skillfully evades and weaves through the barrage of shuriken while blocking them. The branch begins to crack as Naruto moves.
"This branch won't hold." Thinks Naruto as he dashes closer to the Kunoichi. He looks around and sees a dead tree that has yet to be touched by the fire. The tree just so happens to be behind the Kunoichi.
"That'll do." Thinks Naruto as he gets closer to the Kunoichi. The Kunoichi sees him getting close and pulls out her sword. She swings but Naruto ducks and grabs her legs before pulling her down and over him. In the maneuver, Naruto gets on top and punches the Kunoichi in the face as the two slide on the unstable branch. Naruto raises both hands and brings them down but the Kunoichi sees it coming and blocks. As she does, the two fall right off the branch. In mid-air, the Kunoichi punches Naruto before Naruto grabs her head and slams her into the trunk of the dead tree.
"Bastard!" Growls the Kunoichi she pulls out her sword and thrust. Naruto evades the sword and attacks with his own but the Kunoichi parries. The two slams against the inside of the tree as Naruto realizes for the first time it is hollow. Naruto parries a strike before the two slam into the trunk and breakthrough the trunk. The two ninja land on a branch with several groans. The Kunoichi quickly stands and throws several shuriken before forming a ram seal. The shuriken multiply, making Naruto click his teeth and block them with his sword.
"Too many!" Thinks Naruto before he looks down to see a hollowed out hole in the tree. Naruto evades and slides off the branch and into the hole as the Kunoichi looks down the hole.
In the hole Naruto is having a tough time as the smoke is suffocating him. His eyes begin to hurt really badly and he loses his grip on the surface and falls deeper. He quickly latches onto the wall with chakra to stop his fall. He enters a coughing fit as the smoke assaults him. It gets to the point where Naruto can't even open his eyes.
"This is bad," says Naruto as he coughs and rubs his eyes, "m-my eyes!" Naruto thinks back to the lessons from Hiashi.
End Song
Flashback
Naruto sits in front of Hiashi who looks to him with a stern face. The two have been training nonstop and Naruto has yet to win a single match against the superior man.
"Naruto, why do you think I win all the matches we fight?" Asks Hiashi as Naruto looks to him.
"You are more experienced and you also have the Byakugan." States Naruto, but Hiashi sighs.
"It is true that I have more experience than you but," says Hiashi as he looks to Naruto, "The Byakugan is not the reason for my victory." Naruto becomes confused at the statement.
"What do you mean?" Asks Naruto with a curious expression.
"The difference between us is I don't just use my eyes to see." Says Hiashi, further confusing Naruto.
"You don't use your eyes to see?" Asks Naruto with a tilted head.
"Use your senses Naruto," says Hiashi as he stands, making Naruto stand, "don't trust your eyes, they can deceive you." The lights in the room go out, making Naruto look around.
"Wait, I can't see! How am I supposed to fight?" Asks Naruto to the darkness. Naruto is suddenly hit from behind, making him groan. He gets up and enters a stance.
"Your senses are far greater than those around you," says Hiashi as his voice echoes in the shadows, "you can smell, taste and feel your opponents."
"I don't know how to do any of that!" Exclaims Naruto, a bit of his mother's attitude breaking through.
"Focus, Naruto!" Says Hiashi as he hits Naruto three times before Naruto swings and misses. Naruto looks around but sees nothing but darkness. Naruto closes his eyes and begins to focus on his other senses. He uses his ears and picks up the slight sound of floor boards creaking. He then uses his sense of feel to feel the slight tremors of movement in the ground. Finally he uses his nose to sniff out his opponent. All of these combined paint a picture of Hiashi moving towards him. However, the picture is like an X-Ray and he sees the chakra pathways of Hiashi.
"Defend!" Shouts Hiashi as he thrust with a palm and widens his eyes when Naruto blocks it. Hiashi attacks again with a flurry of japs, pokes and palms. Naruto blocks or evades the blows while attacking. Naruto pulls back his fist and throws a right that Hiashi blocks with both hands. Naruto tilts his head and applies more power. Naruto's fist emits a low burst of intense chakra that stuns Hiashi as Naruto punches him back. Hiashi falls to the ground before looking up to see Naruto's foot in front of his face.
"Well done." Says Hiashi as he stands and the lights come back on. Hiashi smiles when he sees the bulging veins around Naruto's closed eyes. Naruto opens his eyes and the veins vanish but Hiashi sees the trademark pupils of the Byakugan before they vanish.
"Always remember Naruto; use your other senses to see your opponents." Says Hiashi as Naruto bows his head.
Flashback over
Naruto OST 1 - Naruto Main Theme
Naruto holds onto to the wall before closing his eyes. He drowns out the nose from the fire and creaking tree. He focuses his hearing on the breathing of the Kunoichi. He sniffs the air and filters out the smoke to smell the Kunoichi. As he does this, the veins around his eyes bulge before becoming more prominent.
"Byakugan!" Shouts Naruto as he opens his eyes. Naruto looks around with his new eyes and takes in the wonderful sight of nearly 360 degrees. He sees Sasuke battling his opponent and they seem even in combat. He looks around some more and spots the silver haired Kunoichi still struggling to cut the chakra wire. His eyes then show all these images at once while Naruto tilts his head. He stretches his senses further and spots Iruka and Hinata running to this location. Naruto looks up with a smirk at his new found sight. Above him stands the Kunoichi who looks through the hole.
"Slippery little bastard." Says the Kunoichi before she sees the light reflect off of something. She widens her eyes and lifts her head just in time to evade a single kunai. The kunai goes straight up before losing momentum and pointing down. At that moment the kunai separates into dozens of kunai and the Kunoichi realizes they all have paper bombs on them.
"Son of a bitch!" Shouts the Kunoichi before looking to the hole and growling. She jumps down the hole as the kunai explode above her.
"Where are you?" Asks the Kunoichi. Naruto pulls himself up and flips before channeling chakra into his feet and launching up the hollow trunk. The wood beneath him cracks from the force. The Kunoichi looks around before she spots Naruto coming towards her like a rocket.
"Oh shit!" Shouts the Kunoichi as Naruto spears her back up and through the explosion and smoke. The back of the Kunoichi's flak jacket is burned and smoking as they both land on the branch. Naruto mounts her and throws several punches that make the Kunoichi cover herself up. She finally reverses their positions by grabbing Naruto's arm and flipping him on his side. She mounts him and raises her sword but Naruto sees it coming.
"Onmyō kenhō: Tenketsushin (Yin-Yang Fist Art: Chakra Point Needle)." States Naruto as delivers a barrage of two finger strikes at the Kunoichi. Despite only using two fingers to attack, Naruto using his enhanced strength, smiles when he hears the breaking of several bones. The Kunoichi screams out in pain as her bones break.
"Fly away." Says Naruto as he unleashes a double palm to the Kunoichi's gut. The sound of cracked ribs makes the Kunoichi yell out a she flies back. The woman rolls to a stop before spitting up blood. Naruto stands and unsheathes his katana from his back. He holds up a ram seal in front of his face.
"Konoha-Ryū: Kumotta Gekkō (Leaf Style: Hazy Moonlight)." States Naruto as he swings his sword in a circular motion, leaving a trace of afterimages behind. This Jutsu was created by studying, Neko's Hazy Moon Night and Hayate's Moonlight. Naruto has created a form that makes his sword difficult to follow as well as himself. The Kunoichi stands but her body is not responding correctly, making her growl as blood leaks down her mouth.
"What's going on?" Thinks the Kunoichi as her body is having a delayed reaction. Unknown to her, when Naruto attacked her with Tenketsushin, he also disabled the flow of chakra and slowed the signals from the brain to certain regions of her body. She pulls out her sword and growls before dashing forward as fast as she can but to Naruto she is full of openings with her body not responding correctly or fast enough. Naruto dashes forward with immense speed, leaving an afterimage trailing behind him.
"Die!" Shouts the Kunoichi as she swings but Naruto was already sliding in a 180 degrees spin.
"Konoha-Ryū: Hyaku Hachi-jugiri (Leaf Style: 180 Slice)." Says Naruto as he is crouched while facing the Kunoichi's back. Due to Hazy Moonlight and Tenketsushin, the Kunoichi could not follow Naruto and his sword or react in time.
End song
Naruto stands and sheathes his sword as the Kunoichi shrieks as blood spurts from her wound. She stabs her sword into the tree trunk to keep herself up while Naruto looks to her. Naruto notices the branch is unstable as the fire burns it.
"I w-will not lose to some brat!" Growls the Kunoichi as she turns around while using her sword as a crutch.
"Give it up," says Naruto as he knows she can't fight anymore, "the longer you continue to fight, the more pain you will be in." Naruto can see the bones her broke and the bleeding of her wound. The woman takes a step forward, making Naruto narrow his eyes. He hears and sees the cracking of the branch.
"Stop, anymore and you won't survive." Says Naruto as the Kunoichi still moves forward.
"You've lost." Says Naruto as the Kunoichi stops and looks at him before her eyes turn to fury.
"Raargh!" Growls the Kunoichi as she jumps at Naruto who back flips and lands in a crouch. The Kunoichi lands and the branch snaps under her, making her eyes widen. She then looks to Naruto who widens his eyes before she falls and is consumed by the flames on the forest floor. Naruto turns his head away with sigh before turning his attention to Sasuke who appears to be having trouble.
Sasuke pants with blood running down his face and minor cuts on his body. His opponent isn't faring any better, as she has blood running down her arms and face.
"I've gotten sick of you, boy." Says the Kunoichi with narrowed eyes as she stands straighter. Sasuke smirks and places his sword in front of him.
"I've been sick of you." Says Sasuke as the Kunoichi narrows her eyes. The Kunoichi sheathes her sword and smirks.
"Very well then," says the Kunoichi as Sasuke narrows his eyes, "I guess I'll show you terror."
"Is that right?" Says Sasuke with a sarcastic tone as the Kunoichi smirks and blushes before looking her fingers.
"I love it when boys like you scream out in horror and beg me to end it." Cries the Kunoichi with a lustful look in her eyes.
"You are very sick." Says Sasuke as he dashes forward. The Kunoichi flashes through a couple of hand signs before Sasuke's vision becomes blurry.
"Magen: Shin no Jigoku (Demonic Illusion: True Hell)." Says the Kunoichi while licking her lips. Within the Genjutsu, Sasuke relives the worst night of his life. But instead of being a spectator, he is the victim. Everyone killed that night, Sasuke takes their place and experiences the emotions of someone about to die… over and over again.
"Ahhhh!" Shouts Sasuke while writhing on the ground as he holds his head. The Kunoichi blushes as she gets off on his screams.
"Yes, just like that!" Shouts the Kunoichi as Naruto lands on a branch overlooking the area. He widens his eyes when he sees Sasuke yelling out. Within the Genjutsu, Sasuke thinks about asking for it to stop with blank eyes before the sound of faint yelling reaches his ears. He follows the yells to a room where he spots the dead bodies of his parents and Itachi standing over them with his Sharingan blazing.
"Foolish, little brother." Says Itachi, making Sasuke widen his eyes before they slowly narrow in rage. The walls within the Genjutsu begin to crack and Sasuke snaps his eyes open to show a fully matured Sharingan.
"Wake up, dumbass!" Shouts Naruto as Sasuke stands and glares at Naruto. The Kunoichi widens her eyes at the boy standing.
"Shut up, loser." Says Sasuke with his Sharingan active. Sasuke then looks to the Kunoichi who stands with wide eyes.
"H-How did you-." Starts the Kunoichi before her vision distorts. She suddenly is reliving the worst day of her life. She screams as various men converge on her. Outside the Genjutsu, Sasuke and Naruto stand looking down at her.
"She still alive?" Asks Naruto with folded arms.
"Yeah but… her mind is gone." Says Sasuke as he sheathes his sword. Sasuke looks at Naruto's eyes while Naruto looks at his.
"Your eyes are weird." Says Sasuke, making a tick mark appear on Naruto's head.
"Like you're one to talk you jerk!" Growls Naruto with some of his mother side coming out again. Suddenly the snapping of a branch makes the two look over their shoulders with a blank stare. Standing on a branch is the silver haired Kunoichi who looks positively murderous.
"You, you… you." Rants the silver haired Kunoichi as Naruto and Sasuke simply look at her blankly.
"You worthless little brats!" Shouts the silver haired Kunoichi as she draws two swords and attacks. She clashes with both the boys and they skillfully attack each other with Kenjutsu. Sasuke parries a strike before Naruto kicks the Kunoichi back. The Kunoichi flips and tosses shuriken that multiply. Naruto slams his hands together and a group of roots sprout from the ground to block the shuriken. As the roots go down, the Kunoichi dashes forward. However she widens her eyes when she sees Sasuke inhaling air. Naruto produces several shuriken with a smile on his face. The shuriken float next to him as he weaves hand signs.
"Fūton: Kaiten Shuriken (Wind Style: Rotating Shuriken)." Says Naruto as he infuses wind-natured chakra into the shuriken, which fly towards the Kunoichi.
"Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu (Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu)." Says Sasuke as he blows out several small fireballs that overlap Naruto's shuriken. The Kunoichi skids to a stop as the fireballs reach her. The explosion rocks the area again as Naruto and Sasuke look on. Naruto looks up and spots the Kunoichi flying out of the smoke cloud. She has several shuriken in her shoulders and burn marks over her body. The Kunoichi growls before flashing through hand signs in a pattern that makes Sasuke widen his eyes.
"Naruto, water!" Shouts Sasuke, making Naruto glare at him.
"Give me an order again and I'll deal with you first." Says Naruto as he dashes in front of Sasuke and weaves three hand signs.
"Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu (Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu)." Shouts the Kunoichi as she breathes out a stream of fire.
"Suiton: Suijinheki (Water Style: Water Wall)." Says Naruto as he blows out a large wall of water that rises forward. The two attacks collide and steam blows into the three. Iruka looks up to see water falling from the sky and spots the water wall.
"There!" Shouts Hinata as Iruka moves forward. The steam disperses as Sasuke and Naruto look to the Kunoichi who seems to have become even angrier.
"Naruto-kun!" Shouts a voice, making Naruto behind the Kunoichi to see Hinata and Iruka.
"Hinata, Iruka-sensei." Says Naruto before he widens his eyes when the Kunoichi turns and throws several kunai with explosive tags.
"Hinata, dodge them!" Shouts Naruto but the tags go off and engulf Iruka and Hinata. Sasuke and Naruto vanish in a Shunshin with Naruto catching Hinata and Sasuke catching Iruka. Hinata is barely breathing while Iruka coughs. Naruto grips his hands tight and glares at the Kunoichi who decides to attack.
"It's over!" Shouts the Kunoichi before Naruto turns and dodges the sword strike. He then slams his fist right into the face of the Kunoichi. The face caves in before she is sent flying back and through several trees. The trail can be seen from above the trees before she stops after hitting a boulder. The Kunoichi coughs up some blood while her nose bleeds and her face is disfigured. Naruto turns of his Byakugan and looks to Hinata who breathes shallowly.
"Hinata," says Naruto before he takes of his ninja gauntlets and presses her hand to her mouth, "Hinata, I need you to bite me." Hinata looks up weakly and coughs but can't bite down.
"Hinata," says Naruto with some worry before he clicks his teeth, "don't be mad but this is the only way." Naruto then kisses Hinata, making Sasuke raise a brow. Hinata feels something warm on her lips and her body begins to heal.
"W-What is this?" Thinks Hinata before she opens her eyes to see her favorite red head, kissing her. Hinata's face and body turn as red as Naruto's hair. Naruto opens his eyes and sees Hinata before letting go of the kiss. He has a small barely noticeable blush on his face as he looks away.
"Ahem, it seems you're better." Says Naruto as steam rises from Hinata's head.
"Now before you say anything I want to defend myself by saying it was the only way to save you." Rants Naruto with a faint blush. Hinata continues to steam as Naruto talks before she says something she can't take back. Though she is not in her right mind after Naruto kissed her.
"N-Naruto-kun!" Calls Hinata in a shout, making Naruto flinch.
"Wh-What's wrong?" Asks Naruto while trying to avoid eye contact.
"W-Well, I was w-wondering… ifyoucouldgotothefireworksfestivalwithme!" Says Hinata, really fast. Naruto looks at her before looking to Sasuke who smirks his cocky grin. If he weren't in such a position, Naruto would sock that smirk right of his face.
"Um… I…," starts Naruto as he begins to sweat like he was in a written exam, "the Fireworks Festival huh? Well… I guess." The last part was in a whisper. Hinata turns beet red before fainting.
"Oi, Hinata!" Shouts Naruto as he holds her. Iruka looks on with a smile while Sasuke folds his arms over his chest. The Anbu arrive on the scene and take the Kunoichi away. Two are still alive while the third is burned badly. Naruto looks to the sky and sighs.
"I have no idea how to have a date." Says Naruto while rubbing the back of his head.
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I sure did when writing it. So Naruto has activated the Byakugan and I know; it's suppose to manifest at a young age but who cares?! Sasuke has gained his Sharingan and it is fully matured.
