Chapter 4
"Were going to be late!"
"Hurry up then!"
"You hurry up!"
Akira just sighed to himself as he slowly got ready for their first team meeting. His two brothers insisted on fighting on every little thing, of course ignoring the fact that he usually joined them. "Guys, I'm going to leave without you."
Yuu, who was on top of Naruto, looked up at Akira and gave a slow nod. "Fine fine, but Naruto, that's four times today I've won."
Naruto also picked himself up and grabbed a glass of juice. "It isn't fair, your bigger than me."
"Excuses, excuses."
Finally the three of them were walking towards the bridge where their team was told to meet. There were having an argument… again.
"Listen guys. I created you two, so how does it not make sense that I walk in the middle?" Naruto calmly explained to the two fuming next to him. "Say for example, that this entire universe was actually some random person's creation. And that everything was actually like a book or comic…"
"Where are you going with this?" Yuu asked.
"Then I would be the main character! Duh!" Naruto finished with a triumphant look.
"Yeah okay, and then next you'll tell me that you'll be taught how to summon toads from some random, perverted guy, with long white hair." Yuu said sarcastically.
Naruto and Akira gave him a weird look.
"What? Can't a guy joke?" He asked, looking uncomfortable.
"Sigh, so why would you be in the middle, "Mr. All Knowing"?" Akira added mockingly.
"Because I'm the biggest!"
"Wha…?" Naruto looked confused.
"Look!" Yuu then stood right next to Naruto and demonstrated how he was taller than him.
"Oi! That's like, half an inch!"
"But I have more muscles too."
Akira just looked at the two bickering in amusement, until he decided that it was time he made his claim. "Look guys, both your reasoning's are stupid." Naruto and Yuu glared back at him in anger. "You're no "main character" Naruto and Yuu, so what if your slightly larger? That makes like no difference." Akira's tone was matter of fact.
"Then why do you think you should be in the middle?" Naruto eyed Akira suspiciously.
"Well, that's obvious." Akira looked smug. "The person who looks the coolest should be in the middle, and well, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I don't think either of you can compare with this awesome cloak." For added measure he waved the bottom of his attire. Naruto and Yuu stared at his cloak drifting with obvious envy.
"S-So what? Its not like anyone cool ever wears a cloak." Yuu was pulling at straws trying to bring down Akira's confidence.
"On the contrary, there is just one insy little person that wore one."
Naruto looked dubious. "Who?"
Akira smirked at him and Yuu. "The Yondaime."
"LIES!" They both yelled at him.
"How do you know?" Yuu asked.
"Cause, I read it in "The Kage's of Konoha". It was a little old, but it made do. … … Why are you guys staring at me like that?!"
Both Naruto and Yuu had frozen with the mention of the word "read". Finally, Naruto broke the silence.
"What do you mean you "read"? You're not talking about like actually reading right? Like something that has more words than pictures?" His tone was one of absolute disbelief.
"Ye-yeah, so what?" Akira asked nervously.
Yuu continued staring at him in shock. "Dude, that's just.. like it's.. It's just no."
"Where'd you get the book from anyway?" Naruto asked.
Akira looked surprised at the question. He hesitated for a moment, then replied. "It was in one of the shelves at our house…" After seeing Naruto share a quick nod with Yuu, Akira quickly spoke up again. "Hey! Don't even think about touching them! There's some good material there!"
"Fine fine, we won't touch them, will we Naruto?" Yuu nodded towards the blonde. He just smiled back in response.
Akira stared at the duo with suspicion as they neared the meeting grounds.
What is taking them so long! Sakura thought furiously. Is Naruto even coming? And what gives Kakashi the right to be two hours late?!
Sasuke could sense the anger radiating off of the young kunoichi, but even though he was also irritated at his teacher, he decided to remain relaxed on a tree branch.
Sakura continued pacing next to the bridge, waiting for one of the two late comers to arrive.
Finally, she could hear someone coming from the direction of the bridge. Wait, that sounds like more than one person…
It wasn't long before she could hear the voices.
"Didn't we already decide I would be in the middle?"
"When did we do that? Don't make up crap!"
"You calling me a liar?"
"So what if I am?"
"You little-"
Sounds of scuffling could be heard, until eventually three figures could be seen walking towards the bridge.
Naruto was in the centre, arguing with a dark haired boy walking next to him. Accompanying the both of them was someone who seriously digged the colour green.
As they got closer, Sakura couldn't help noticing that the two boys next to Naruto looked suprisngly attractive.
No! Sasuke is the only one for me! BEGONE EVIL THOUGHTS!
"Ummm, Sakura-chan, you okay?" Sakura quickly snapped out of her thoughts.
Naruto and the two boys were staring at her awkardly. Oh my god, I didn't say anything outloud did I? Play it cool Sakura, these guys are hanging out with Naruto, they must be dorks. It wasn't until a few moments later did a small thought creep in. But… Wouldn't that make you a dork too- BEGONE EVIL THOUGHTS!
Naruto, who had decided Sakura was just having an off day, decided to introduce his two brothers.
"Oi, Dweeb, who're the two walking colours next to you?" Sasuke interrupted Naruto just as he was about to speak. He then also inwardly chuckled at his own joke.
Yuu quickly spoke up. "You wanna go, dark haired emo!" That rhymed. I am awesome.
Sasuke quickly scowled. This wasn't too difficult, considering he was scowling anyway.
Naruto took this chance to speak. "As I was about to say, Sakura, Sasuke. Meet Yuu," He pointed towards the redhead, "And Akira," He pointed towards the cloaked boy. "Long story short, I did a really super awesome Jutsu, which was forbidden by the way, and made myself two brothers." Naruto finished happily.
Sakura and Sasuke stared at Naruto with their mouths agape. (Well, Sakura did, Sasuke just dropped his scowl.)
"Wa-wait, wh-what do you mean?" Sakura finally mumbled.
"Ehh… I dunno really. The important part is that they're all a part of Team 7 now!"
Once again, the other two members of team 7 were dumbfounded.
"But that doesn't make any sense!" Sakura looked hysteric. "We can't have a team of five genins! Right Sasuke?"
Sasuke quickly broke out of his shock. "Yeah, who told you they're on our team Naruto?"
"The jiji!" Naruto said.
Jiji? Both Sakura and Sasuke looked lost.
Akira just sighed and then spoke up. "He means the Hokage-sama himself. I know it might be a bit unbelievable, but Naruto is telling the truth."
"No!" Sakura all but screamed. "You're lying! All of you!"
"Unfortunately… They're not." A small voice said, right behind Sakura, who jumped and quickly looked behind her.
Kakashi was looking as laid back as always and if Sakura wasn't mistaken, she could have sworn she saw actual tiredness from their lazy sensei.
"Kakashi-sensei, what do you mean!" She had forgotten all bout accusing him for being late.
"Well…" Kakashi turned his head in thought. "Long story short, Naruto did an extremely irritating and annoying (yes Sakura, I know they both mean the same thing,) jutsu, which was forbidden by the way, and he made two more menaces Konoha will have to face."
Sakura looked lost for a while. Kakashi counted down in his head. 3, 2, 1…
"THAT DOESN"T EXPLAIN ANYTHING!"
Kakashi looked at her in amusement. "Listen, the entire thing is basically an S-class secret anyway, so all you guys need to know is that those two will be part of our team from now on. You should be happy, really, now that we have two more members, our team is stronger than ever."
Sasuke scoffed. "If they were really made by the dope, then what difference are three dopes going to make?"
Yuu was about to reply with some choice words when Akira cut him off. "If you don't think having us two will make a difference… Then how about we try it out?"
Naruto quickly caught on. "Yeah, us three versus you, right here, right now."
Sasuke looked amused. "That's fine by me, it's been a while since I've smashed your face in anyway." He gave a look at their sensei.
Kakashi thought for a quick moment, and then decided. I've been curious about Yuu and Akira's combat potential for a while. Let's see how this plays out. "It's fine by me, just try not to beat up each other too bad, we have a whole lot of weeding to do after this."
AN-
Sorry for the massive delay, and this somewhat filler chapter. I'm trying to make things as in character as possible, and well... that's taking a while.
First taste of combat next chapter, look forward to it!
I haven't edited this chapter yet, so please do inform me of my mistakes, and if you like it, please review! It really does help me in writing faster.
