Teen Titans: Naruto Style!
It seems lately I've been lazy with the updates and writing stories... so now here am I, catspee, back in action after a long hiatus of thinking too deeply, school and Church. It's time to get back to writing... and I promise to make the chapters longer and longer and deeper with more Nihongo in it.
3' o clock, on the road...
"Are we there yet?" Naruto blurted out. The ninja squad, Sakura, Kakashi, Gaia, Rock Lee, Neji and Ten Ten and Beast Boy following behind him gave a sigh... for the past few hours they've been walking on the road to get to the sand nation to figure out who kidnapped Gaara and to put an end to the case.
"No, Naruto," Kakashi told him politely, being the first with the courage out of everyone to do it. Sakura held it in tightly to not punch Naruto.
"Now?" Naruto asked, he grinned and gave a small chuckle. He was doing this on purpose, but of course some people didn't realize his intentions or share his sense of humor. Sakura just raised an irritated eyebrow.
"No," Kakashi told him again. He sighed and went back to reading his Ichi Ichi Paradise book once more and blushed as he looked at all the cute girls in it...
"Kakashi, you perv," Gai told him.
"Uh! Shut up Gai," Kakashi snapped at him... he felt embarassed when people talked about his romantic tastes, it's a topic on the list of personal subjects of Kakashi-sensei.
"That girl with the short brown hair is cute," Gai added.
"Oooh, I must see!" Rock Lee blurted. He tried to look at the book but Kakashi pulled it away from him.
"You are too little to see these kinds of books," Kakashi told him.
"Awww come on, I'm good enough! Right Gai-Sensei?" Rock Lee asked.
"Kakashi is right Lee. You are too young. I do not want you to become one of those ninjas who believe that's there's only money, women, and missions in the life of a ninja. You are too special and unique to be like that to even think about women! So much heartache!" Gai told Lee, and patted his head. "Wait a few years to settle down."
"Alright Gai-Sensei, I will!" Lee said.
"Gai-sensei, have you ever loved a woman?" Ten-Ten just asked. Kakashi looked in the floor and started to chuckle...
"Uh... that's classified information Ten-Ten," Gai told her.
"Ohhh pleaaase Gai, classified my butt! You had all of Konoha knowing who your woman was!!" Kakashi blurted out and started laughing. The young ninjas stared at him, they never saw him laugh so much.
"Shut up Kakashi!! Not everyone is as COOL as you are!! I'm pretty sure there's someone you love!!" Gai snapped back at him.
"Kakashi, do you love someone?? Who do you like??" Naruto's eyes were filled with interest, he definetly wanted to see who this person was that captured the heart of his teacher.
Kakashi sighed. "No one."
"Really?" Naruto asked, he was surprised... surely once in his life, his sensei Kakashi must have liked or love someone...
"...The person I loved, and who I should have taken great care of is... dead," Kakashi said.
"Awwwww," Ten Ten and Sakura stated at once, they were suckers for love tragedies. Kakashi looked at Sakura.
"She was someone I never realized, until she was gone for good that I loved... someone sweet, caring... always willing to be there to love me... but I blew it, thinking I was too cool. She should have been with the man who actually did love her... but... he's dead," Kakashi expositioned. The girls looked with intrigue, including Beast Boy.
"Awwww Kakashi, I'm sorry you had such a miserable love life! Tell ya' what, we're going to Tanzuka Market one day and maybe you'll find the real love of your life!" Gai told him, he patted him on the back. Kakashi moved quickly...
"I'm not that kind of guy, Gai... anyways, sorry to depress you all. Gai, you should tell them the story of Mizu," Kakashi told him. Gai blushed with embarassment at the story...
"Alriiight fine!" Gai stated.
"Gai liked MIZU!!!" Kakashi yelled and started to chuckle.
"Shut up Kakashi!!" Gai yelled back at them. "Here's the story... one day, when I was a young chuunin, about your age I fell in love at first site with this young, beautiful girl named Mizu..."
Sakura and Ten-Ten gave awwws and interests, romance was their thing.
"Except Mizu had the face of a beaver and had all sorts of weird, eccentric hobbies such as sumou wrestling, tennis, football... did I mention she was fat? Yes, Mizu was a fat girl who had all sorts of magical abilities," Kakashi stated. The guys chuckled at the word fat...
"You jerks!! You shouldn't laugh or judge someone who's fat!! Girls are really sensitive to these subjects!!" Sakura yelled at them. The guys stopped laughing.
"I agree... and despite her body, I loved Mizu with all my heart. I loved how strong she was and how athletic she was despite her size. She was like Chouji, but womanly and had bigger boobs and a great big butt.... mhm..." Gai said... the teens all cringed at the thought of Gai's sexual thoughts.
"So then one day Gai and Mizu met, it was love at first site and they started dating. But the problem was Mizu was like 25 years old and Gai was 17. It was like staturary rape so their whole relationship was a secret at the time, I didn't know much but was shocked at whenever Gai would reject a sensible, young woman," Kakashi said. Sakura and Ten-Ten wondered what woman out there would love Gai's bushy eyebrows.
"This of course was before I had my bushy eyebrows, for you see my love Mizu had bushy eye-brows... that's why I grew them, because I always wanted to be reminded of her and love her!!!" Gai cried.
"But how could it be a secret if everyone in the town knew about it?" Neji asked. Neji too, was piqued in Gai's love story.
"As soon as I turned 18 I gave a huge party to everyone announcing to everyone I was dating Mizu!!!" Gai cried.
"But no one was happy for him, they all thought he was insane," Kakashi told him.
"Shut up Kakashi!! I'm just as cool as you," Gai told him.
"As you wish," Kakashi replied back.
"And now... here is the tragedy," Gai said. "One day, while I was on a mission... my Mizu disappeared, vanished like thin air. Like she never existed at all...."
"What happened??!! Why??!!" Ten Ten asked.
"She got ashamed of who she was dating and fled far away," Kakashi blurted.
"Ughhh shut up Kakashi!!" Gai yelled at him.
"Yeah, Kakashi-sensei, leave Gai alone!!" Lee told him.
"That's a-good Lee," Gai proclaimed, he patted Lee on the head. "Anyways... she's been missing ever since... and it's been so hard trying to move on, my life has been so difficult because of it.... I've practiced my taijutsu more hard than ever, changed my whole outlook..."
"But that's good Gai-sensei, you are a great taijutsu martial artist I greatly look up to now because of it. I believe some day you will find Mizu!! I want to meet the woman you love," Rock Lee told him.
Gai looked down and sighed. "Some day I will son, some day I will."
For the rest of their walk that day they reminscied and talked about their lives and a variety of topics.
Kakashi during the trip couldn't help but look down, look at Sakura and be reminded so much of his old love... 'Sasuke you idiot, you better come back to her.'
"Huff.... puff... where are we going?" Cyborg asked Iruka-Sensei. They walked through a long forest following Iruka-sensei.
"The secret hideout," Iruka told him.
"But how far is it? I'm tired dude!" Cyborg told him.
"Cyborg, pull yourself together, we have to go there," Robin told him.
"Ughhh! Fine, but when we're getting there I want some waffles! Yum!!" Cyborg cried.
"Heheheh," Iruka laughed. "You guys are a funny team. I like you all."
"Awww, thank you Iruka-sensei. I like you too," Starfire told him. "How much farther is this hideout?"
"A few more hours... its in the Village Hidden in the Mist. A few of the people there are in debt to us after a deep mission Naruto, Sakura... Team 7 went," Iruka told them as they walked.
"Hmmm a mission, eh? I'm actually glad Naruto is a ninja," Raven said. "This place worries me."
"I'm worried too friend, this place has all these strange and magical ninjas," Starfire assured her.
"Don't worry guys, I'm pretty good for a ninja myself, I'll protect you... besides, you have all these cool powers, I'm sure any ninja would be wiped out with your skills," Iruka told them.
"You're right, thank you," Starfire told him.
"I like this place... I have some use and powers now," Robin said. "Sometimes it's a drag being the only one with no special powers."
"But Robin, you're the smartest and most skilled out of all of us... you're our leader!" Starfire told him. She grabbed him up and gave him a great big hug. Robin blushed. "Thanks... Star... I like the way you shoot... starbolts." Starfire giggled.
Raven rolled her eyes... she thought back to Sasuke, how good it felt when he held her.... 'No, Raven! You can't think these thoughts and let you feel things... you don't know what'll happen...' she told herself.
'On the contrary, you have every right to feel what you want to feel...'
Raven looked down on the ground, shocked... it was her father, Trigon. Everything around her then went white as she went into a daze....
Raven found herself face to face with her huge demon of a father, Trigon... big, gigantic, and red with horns on top. You could see his abs, his legs... the only thing that covered him was his huge lion cloth covering up his groin no one needs to see.
"What are you talking about father?" Raven asked him. "What are you doing here talking to me anyways? Go away.... and I thought I killed you!!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, silly Raven... don't talk to your dad like that! ," the monster told her. Raven rolled her eyes. "You see, I disappeared... I technically only really exist as a memory, that's all. That is why you still have your powers. A part of me still exists within you, you will always have my essence within yourself. That is why I can still talk to you, and I am still here."
"I see... that... explains a few things," Raven told him.
"And besides, if you're ever stuck in a bind, really pissed off, about to die... I will lend you my strength and you'll live through it," Trigon told her.
"Um... thanks? But what is all this about feeling things? If I feel emotions I can explode stuff... cause some serious issues," Raven explained to him.
"That I am aware of... however feelings of love and lust do not count, infact... I implore you to have those feelings," Trigon told her.
"Okaaay.... I never expected this from you. Just please. PLEASE. Do not give me the sex talk. The guards of Azarath have given it to me millions of times... but I never knew it was okay for me to do it," Raven told him.
"Yes pleaase... I could always use another offspring," Trigon grinned.
"You bastard, I think I know what you're planning..." Raven told him, she got mad at the thought.
"Hahahaahaha!!! Anyways my dear Raven, be careful in this town.... the very fact I exist may be the reason why all these troubles you are facing right now in this strange new world... ta-ta Raven, adios!"
The area then went white and Raven found herself back in a misty bridge of some sorts.
"Uh. It's misty," she blurted out.
"Wow, I wonder where your head has been Raven, good to hear you talk," Cyborg told her.
"Whatever..." Raven told him. Robin looked at her strangely. Raven raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"Nothing... we need to talk," Robin told her.
"Later," Raven replied. "What is this misty bridge?"
"The great Naruto bridge!" Iruka cried. Raven cringed at the name. "Naruto?"
"It's because of Naruto we have this bridge," an old man told them from behind. They all looked behind at the man.
"I'm Tazuna, I was that kid Naruto's client a few years ago... some creeps were after me because I was building this great bridge, the company who owned this village was afraid to lose money because of it... and let's just say Naruto and his whole team, despite being a drag was very helpful . I owe it to him to give him or his friends a hand... even though he's a bit of a nuisance," Tazuna told him. "My grandson Inari idolizes him, he'd be joyful to see some of his other friends..."
"I'm honored to be considered one of his friends, sir... I will treat this Inari kindly," Starfire told him.
"You don't have to worry about that beautiful, Inari is a very kind and humble young boy these days, we'll be glad to help you out. Our whole village actually," Tazuna told them.
"Thank you very much sir for doing this, I'll do whatever you ask and if you need help..." Robin told him, he bowed to the man.
"It's alright kid, don't worry about it... just be strong ninjas and protect us from any trouble, got it?!" Tazuna barked. The Titans nodded. He laughed. Iruka smiled. "Well, we're almost there..."
Way far back at the beginning of the bridge Sasuke stared long and hard... thinking of his past... thinking of Naruto, thinking about this particular mission where he and Naruto almost died. 'Don't think about such thoughts. You are a real, grown man now... no use to think about pathetic fools like him. You have a serious mission to get to first... Raven... get to her before Itachi. I can't let that jerk win.' Sasuke thought. Behind him Orochimaru placed a hand on him.
"Don't worry Sasuke, we'll get her first..." he told him.
Elsewhere, Itachi and Kisame were hiding about in the village itself, in the deep woods, eating on some fish.
"Hey Kisame, your old country... you miss this place?" Itachi asked him.
"Not at all," Kisama replied. He took a fish and gobbled it up. Itachi sighed.
'Little brother, I know you're coming here... but I know you're not ready to know the truth... not yet.... please forgive me when you do though,' Itachi thought to himself, sighed and continued to eat.
