Konoha cemetery night, after Narutos fight

Kenji was walking through a row of headstones. He stopped at one that he visited almost every week for the last year. He placed the flower bouquet on the grave, stepped back and said a short prayer. "Hey, sorry I missed my usual visit; this week has been a bit hectic first my little brother finds his way back to Konoha, and then I find out that he is stronger than all ninja in this village. I think you two would have gotten along."

Kenji ran his fingers over the name engraved in the stone. "Ren Jinsho" it read, Kenji and Ren got together a few weeks after their mission dealing with the three Kumo hunter ninja. It was actually Itachi who set the whole thing up, they spent the next two years together and finally they admitted their love for each other.

Flashback

Kenji was waiting at their usual meet up stop, which was in the park under an old oak tree. He was leaning against the tree with his hands in his pocket when he felt cold steel against his throat, when he turned he saw Ren with a big smile on her face "Gotcha."

Kenji smiled and pulled her into a deeply passionate kiss, it was innocent at first but Ren wanted more and made it more heated, soon they were battling for dominance and Ren was straddling Kenji. Kenji pulled away "Maybe we should go to your place."

Ren nodded and ran Kenji to her place, she was an orphan so she lived alone. When they got inside they continued they kiss. Ren moaned into it and soon was laying on her bed with Kenji over her, Kenji again pulled out of the kiss. "Ren I need to tell you something"

"Can it wait I really want this right now."

"No, it can't." Kenji got off her and sat at the foot of her bed. With a groan Ren followed suit.

"What is it?"

"Ren, these last two years you made me really happy, and …"

Ren was hoping that he was finally going to say those three faithful words to her.

"I… think I … love you Ren."

Ren threw herself at him and gave him an even more passionate and wet kiss than the one they shared before. "I love you too Kenji." She whispered in his ear. Kenji was probably the happiest man in the world at that moment, but Ren wanted to make him even happier. She kissed him again and started to strip down. That night Kenji would never forget.

Flashback end

Kenji couldn't help but let a tear fall from his face. They were so happy together, but that snake bastard had to take her away from him.

Flashback

Kenji was running full speed through the forest, they just found out that Rens medic squad was attacked while deployed to help a nearby village. The combat ninjas who joined them sent a messenger bird to call for reinforcement, but what they didn't know was that the snake sage Orochimaru was the one attacking them. When Kenji got to the battleground the battle was over and all of the villagers were gone. He searched for Ren and found her in one of the shacks that he guessed was used for operations. He tried to wake her up but she was already dead, a hole was blown through her chest and her eyes were removed from her skull. Kenji left the shack and vomited, then fell on his knees and started to cry. "Why her" he repeated over in his head.

End flashback

Kenji swore that he would avenge his mate, even if it would cost him his life. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to find his mom. "It's cold out here, I'm sure she wouldn't want you to catch a cold for her sake." Kenji nodded and left.

Morning Narutos room

Naruto woke up and went about his morning routine, which consisted of reading a few chapters in his Icha Icha book, then "using the bathroom" and finally taking a shower and getting dressed. Naruto walked down the stairs and saw his sister Akane talking to a giant man with impossibly big muscles. "Good morning Kuro-san, can you make me an omelet and some ramen please." The giant figure nodded. Kuros name means ninth son and he was in fact the ninth born in his family, they all became master chiefs that specialize in one or more things, Kuro specialized in almost 6. Ramen, sushi, eggs, bento, dumplings and most fish foods.

Akane looked at Naruto, then asked him what he wanted. Naruto simply looked at her and said "Deer meat." He wasn't familiar with food outside of whatever herbs or animals that lived in the forest.

Akane looked at him confused. "Okay, do you want that pan fried, roasted …"

It was Narutos turn to look confused, but they couldn't tell because of his mask so instead he just stared at her. Then it hit Akane like a ton of bricks, her brother never ate at a village, even when he was traveling with Jiraya, why else would he ask her if he had to hunt. "Otouto, you never ate in a village did you?"

"No I haven't."

The cook had a gleam in his eye "Then I will make you what every Namikaze is addicted to, my special ramen!" Naruto just nodded, but Akane looked exited.

"Kuro-san, you're really going to make it"

"For Naruto-sama here I will."

Akane frowned "Just for Naruto!"

"Of course not, I will make some for everyone."

Naruto and Akane sat down at the table and waited for their food to be prepared. About 15 minutes later, Kuro came back out with two bowls filled with ramen. He placed one in front of Akane who wasted no time to dig right in and the second in front of Naruto. Akane stopped eating and Kuro stared intensely at Naruto. Naruto picked up his spoon and tried some of the ramen; he froze then dipped the spoon in again with slightly more ramen and took another bite. Maybe he doesn't like ramen thought Akane. Kuro smiled he noticed the freeze in Naruto and how he took more ramen in his second bite, it was a typical thing for people of higher class or manners to do when they liked something.

Naruto was going to get seconds, but he was thought never to fill himself up because he never knew when his next fight was and a full stomach would work against him. But that didn't stop Akane; after she was done she said to Naruto "To-san wants your decision before nightfall, so you should think about it. And I'm off today so I'll show you around the village, maybe it'll help you decide." Naruto nodded.

Konoha streets

Akane walked Naruto over the landmarks, parks, and other significant places, but Naruto barely payed attention and read his book. They were on their way to what Akane claimed to be the second best ramen stand in the world, when Naruto bumped into a small figure. Naruto has the constitution of an iron wall and was still upright while the smaller figure falls to the ground. When Naruto looked down he thought that he looked into the eyes of an angle, she had beautiful pearl colored eyes, long dark blue hair, high cheek bones, pink puffy lips, and amazing long eyelashes that made her eyes look bigger than they really were. Naruto looked her over and saw that she wore a very baggy hoodie, but her pants were very tight on her and he could see that she had the thighs he liked in girls, big and strong.

The female figure blushed when she saw who she bumped onto; Naruto held out his hand and helped her to her feet. She blushed even deeper at the contact and how close she was to the man. "Umm… I a-am very sorry, I-I wasn't p-paying attention."

Naruto shook his head "No, it was my fault; I was reading by book when I should have been watching where I was going."

"O-okay, aren't you Akanes b-brother?"

"Yes I am."

"W-well I should go." She started to leave, but was stopped by Naruto gently touching her shoulder.

"Wait, can I know your name?"

"O-oh, how rude of m-me, my name is Hinata H-Hyuga." With that she took off.

Akane jumped to the roof and watched as the young love unfolded before her. She jumped down and teased her brother "Looks like you're in love with Hinata."

"You know her?"

"Yea, she is my best friend. Kami knows that she needs someone to help her forget about her family."

Naruto kept that mind then continued to follow Akane.

Soon, the sun was going down and he had to make up his mind, he really couldn't concentrate on that because Hinata just came up in his head. God damn she was hot thought Naruto. When they arrived at the Hokage tower Naruto made up his mind, they walked into their father's office and he greeted them. "Hello Naruto and Akane," he looked at Naruto "so have you made up your mind?"

Naruto nodded "I want to be ANBU"

Minato nodded, he expected as much "Okay, I'll tell the mask master to make you a new mask-"

Naruto interrupted him "New mask? I can't keep my own."

Minato nodded "Yes, every ANBU has their own customized mask, and yes if you want to be ANBU you have to wear it while on duty."

There was an awkward silence in the room, a minute later Naruto spoke again. "I change my mind; I want to be a Jonin."

"Are you sure?"

Naruto nodded.

"Okay, it seems that we are down one Jonin teacher, from today on you will teach team 10, they are new Genin fresh out of the academy and on top of that you will participate in missions with Jiraya when he requires it."

Naruto nodded, he didn't like the first part, but he was looking forward to the second part.

"Good, team 10 consists of Hanabi Hyuga, Konohamaru Sarutobi, and Nikuyuu Inuzaku. You will meet them at 9a.m tomorrow."

Naruto did his signature nod then left.

The next morning, 9:30a.m

As Naruto was going about his morning routine he couldn't help but shake the feeling like he was forgetting something. He strapped on his scroll and tightened his mask then went down stairs. He saw his mom sitting down in a couch. "Morning Kaa-san"

Kushina turned around and said "Shouldn't you be at the academy."

Narutos eyes widened and he flash stepped out of the window shattering it and made his was towards the academy. When he got there he asked the woman at the front desk where to find team ten, she pointed down the hall. When he opened the door a log came down in an arch that led to the center of his chest. Looks like there is a prankster in this group thought Naruto, he help up his palm and the log stopped then shattered into a thousand pieces. Naruto looked at the three almost Genin, the first resembled Hinata, she had the same eyes, and hair color but a stern expression. The next was a girl that had a small blue and white wolf pup on her head, and the last was a guy that was wearing black pants, a blue scarf, and long brown spiky hair.

I see, two have a Kekkie Genkai he thought. Normally the Inuzaku clan could only train dogs, but once in a generation a child was born that could tame wolves, and everyone knew of the Hyugas eyes. He looked at the Hyuga and asked "You are Hinatas relative?"

She nodded "Yes, she is my older sister."

Jackpot. "Roof, now."

Naruto was waiting on the roof, he was reading his book when the three finally came out.

Naruto said "Why don't we get to know each other, I'll go first. My name is Naruto Namikaze, I like a lot of things, and I also dislike a lot of things, my dream? Well I don't have one."

Hanabi and Konohamaru jumped up "That didn't tell us anything!" they shouted in unison.

"Okay, if you think that you can do better then you will be the first to start Konohamaru." Naruto read their minds, Konohamaru liked Hanabi and Hanabi liked Konohamaru, but Konohamaru thought that Hanabi would refuse and Hanabi thought that it would be better to wait until Konohamaru asked her.

"Fine, my name is Konohamaru Sarutobi, I like my grandfather, bento boxes, and girls, I dislike cigarettes and vegetables, my dream is to become the Hokage."

"Well that's some dream, there is no shortcut to it and you will have to put in a lot of effort."

Konohamaru always had Ebisu telling him that the shortcut to becoming Hokage was with him, he knew it was a lie but there was no one who would tell him otherwise. But his new sensei sounded like he knew what he was talking about. Naruto knew that he earned Konohamarus respect.

Next he pointed to Hanabi. "My name is Hanabi Hyuga, I like cinnamon rolls, and my sister, I dislike people that make fun of weaker people, and my dream is to relieve the branch family of the curse mark."

"I see your stern like your father, but your intentions are pure like your sisters." Hanabi liked the way her new sensei talked to her, he didn't talk like their superior, but instead like a family member. Naruto also earned her respect.

Naruto pointed at the last member of his group, she nodded. "My name is Nikuyuu Inuzaku, I like dogs, wolves, bones, and my wolf; Fang. I dislike people who hurt any kind of animal. My dream is to raise a pack of wolves and make the Inuzaku clan well known."

"Well, then I will act as your catalyst and make you stronger so you can achieve your goals." Nikuyuu very rarely trusted people after their first encounter, but her sensei just had an aura around him that said you can lean on me. Naruto earned her trust.

"Well I think that we know each other well enough, meet me tomorrow at 12p.m I have a test prepared for you. Two Genin walked away leaving Naruto and Hanabi by themselves. Naruto asked Hanabi why she didn't leave she responded by saying "I have to wait for two guards to pick me up, you like my sister don't you?"

"Yes, I do."

"She likes cinnamon rolls and is really clingy, also try and avoid talking about family."

"Thank you for the information Hanabi."

Hanabi nodded, she hopped that her sensei could lift Hinata out of her depression. Hinata always put other people first no matter her own situation, she even went as far as letting Hanabi win their matches so she was seen as weak and not Hanabi. What the Hyuga elders didn't know was that Hinata was one of the strongest Hyugas alive, only surpassed by her cousin Neji, who was also helped by her.

Eventually the guards came and escorted Hanabi back to the Hyuga estate, Naruto went to look for pastry shops in the area.

That's another chapter, I got a suggestion to make my chapters longer, but it takes about 4 hours for me to write these chapters, on Saturdays I should be able to make these about 5,000 words, but I can't make any promises. Thanks to those who commented about my sort of emo post on my last chapter, you guys gave me hope that this story has a chance of doing relatively good. I was going to do a lemon in this chapter, but I'm not sure if it is allowed on fanfic, if someone could tell me it would be appreciated.
