Naruto: Ayatsuri Shigai

by DUke Aster Williams

Dear Reader,

I added a "Bonus Chapter" because this is a short chapter and I had a small writers block and just wrote down what came in mind; which was high school since it's one of the most cliché alternate universes that fanfictions are based around. I would like to note that the Bonus Chapters won't happen every chapter, they will only appear when I have writer's block.

Still accepting OCs, antagonists are needed.

Chapter Seven: "Super Special Awesome" Mission Request + Bonus

Takeshi Kurai sat next to Iruka Umino as he watched the genin teams go in and out of the room; he would wave at the students he knew and would silently wish them luck even if they didn't get the missions that they wanted. He remembered when he was only a genin and his first mission was to help find a lost pet dog that had escaped an elderly couple's home. His lips twitched upwards into a smile but he suppressed the action, there was no need to smile at the memory. It was getting close to midday and he hasn't seen any of the new crops of genin, well except for that Uzumaki blond who was always an interesting sight to see. Sighing, he leaned back as they waited for anyone to appear through the door; the day was going slow and he was getting a little bored sitting around. A small alarm went off as a signal for a lunch break before the mission headquarters would open again; Takeshi was happy that someone had heard his boredom. Pushing in his chair, he started to walk out the door before he heard someone call his name.

"Takeshi!" a voice said, catching the jonin's attention. Turning around, Takeshi found two shorter chunins standing side by side with a smile on their faces.

"Iruka. Urufu. What is it?" Takeshi asked as he awkwardly stared down at the two chunins.

"Well we're wondering if you would want to join us for lunch," Iruka asked with his bright smile.

"…Sure…" the jonin said after thinking for a moment.

"Great! We're going to…where was it again Iruka?" Urufu asked as he looked at the brunet chunin.

"Ramen Ichiraku!" Iruka exclaimed as the three walked out the door.

"Isn't that the place you always go for food?" Takeshi asked.

"Yep, they have the best ramen in Konaha," Iruka said proudly as they walked out of the building and waved at the citizens of Konaha.

They entered Ramen Ichiraku and sat down to be greeted by the owner and his daughter. The three had a nice chat about their life and how they hope everything will go well for the genin on their mission, though they doubt that any of them would fail these simple missions. They were worried about the time for them to take on high level missions when they get older, even the C rank missions made them worry. Since there is always danger where ever they go, it is hard for them to let go of their bond with their students that they have created. After having a short ramen lunch break, they made their way back to the mission headquarters to sit there for hours on end.

-Team Nine: Ayatsuri Shirai, Imari Shoton, and Damiken Hinoiri-

Imari sat under the large tree that was located in the garden that they were currently in. It was rather hot out for working in the direct sunlight, other than that it was rather a pleasant day. The trio had taken a short break from helping an elderly citizen plant their garden. It confused her on why an old man wanted to have a garden that he couldn't even take care of himself. Sighing, she figured that it would make him happy for a few days until he may decide he actually didn't want it at all. Shading her eyes, she looked up at the sky before lying back on the grass; there were barely any clouds out so there was nothing to entertain her with. Next to her, their sensei, Leki, was braiding some flowers into Ayatsuri's hair, who didn't seem bothered by it at all. Damiken on the other hand had climbed the large tree to sit in a more comfortable spot, which only confused the kunoichi.

"Well, we should get back to work soon," Leki said as she finished with her small project and patted the top of Ayatsuri's head telling him that she was done.

"This is kind of a lame mission," Damiken said as he lied on his stomach against the branch.

"Yes, but I did these kinds of missions when I first started too," Leki smiled as she started to sweat a bit, she knew how boring these missions where for her and knew how her students feel.

"Yeah but still, I wouldn't mind doing simple missions if they help improve our skills but these don't do anything for us," Imari said as she played with a piece of grass between her fingers.

"I understand but we must learn to help out our clients no matter what it is, that is our job," Leki noted.

As the three students got up to their feet they started to finish the garden they were to build for the elderly man. Leki smiled as she saw Ayatsuri helping Damiken plant some flowers and Imari was rushing over with a new tree to plant in the center of the garden. Petting Nao, her dark brown ninja cat, she watched her students to make they completed the task with as few injuries as possible. The sun was getting closer to dark and it took them hours to clear the garden and get most of the plants planted into the ground. Though, by the time the sun was setting they were finished with their work and the three genins collapsed onto the ground exhausted from the amount of work they did and the heat that was beating down on them. Imari was the first on to stand up, with the help from Leki, and helped her other two teammates up.

"Man, that was exhausting," Imari noted as they walked down the streets.

"Eh, it wasn't that bad," Damiken said as he placed his hands behind his head and stared up towards the changing sky.

"Well, planting a garden is hard work," Leki noted as she walked behind her students.

"Mhmm, but it was more of a chore than anything else," Imari frowned.

"When are we getting a real mission Leki-sensei?" Damiken asked as he looked back at their mentor.

"W-Well, this was one of your first missions so…maybe another week or two?" Leki tried to lie knowing that they had to start off with a few more D-rank missions before they were ideally allowed to move to C-rank missions.

"WHAT!?" Imari and Damiken shouted as in disbelief, Ayatsuri lowered his head in disappointment.

"I've completed many D-ranked missions, it isn't that uncommon actually," Leki smiled trying to calm her students down but it seemed to have the opposite effect.

"Wait so we are stuck with D-rank missions for a long time?" Imari asked as Leki felt a bead of sweat drip down her face, her conversation was getting nowhere.

"U-Uh…why don't we ask for a higher ranked mission when we get there," Leki awkwardly smiled, hopefully that would calm her students down.

Within a few minutes, Leki's team entered the doorways to find the Third Hokage, and those whom accompanied him, sitting at the long table. Iruka gave his former students a quick small smile as the group entered the room to collect their ryo that they had earned. The elderly man thanked the genins and jonin before handed over 5,000 ryos which wasn't very much, but it was more of a chore mission than a real one. When the man left Damiken was about to speak before Ayatsuri interrupted him surprisingly.

"U-Uh…I don't mean to be rude but…we were wondering if we could have a…higher ranked mission," Ayatsuri asked softly, catching his teammates and mentor off guard. The room fell silent as the Hokage was taking his time thinking before answering the question.

"Hmmm…Naruto's group came in here earlier demanding a C-ranked mission so we do not have another one currently," the Hokage said as the team's spirits dropped.

"Maybe next time," Leki stated as she looked at her students but only met defeated looks.


Bonus Chapter: Konaha High Part I

High school, it's full of romance and back stabbing. It is the gateway to real life where you are only a few years until freedom. It is the last keys you need before you unlock the chains that had kept you away from the outside world. Ayatsuri sighed, he was starting high school today and he was only a mere freshman. Coming from a rich family, he was the obedient perfect child that any parent wanted their child to be. Gathering his bag full of the required books he looked up at his personal butler, Hiroshi, and gave him a weak smile before stepping into the black car. Despite all the money his parents had they lived rather a simple life, but of course they had their traditions that they keep. Ayatsuri looked out the window to watch local students walking to school with their friends and having conversations that was interesting for them. He frowned, he didn't really have many friends; he use to have a childhood friend but they had moved to a different school and Ayatsuri couldn't keep in touch with him, he had even forgotten his friend's name.

Hiroshi pulled up to the school and opened the door for Ayatsuri, whom had gotten out and thanked his butler. Walking away from the bowing Hiroshi, Ayatsuri entered the schools gates as people looked at him and began whispering to each other. Adjusting his uniform, Ayatsuri pushed up his sunglasses and pulled his bag closer to him. He was feeling awkward since he was sure that the conversations where about him since he was the mysterious kid who was chauffeured to the school with bowing employees. Even so, Ayatsuri made his way to the office to pick up his school schedule which contained four classes excluding lunch; his school was rather odd since it had adopted a western style schedule instead of the traditional eastern schedule. Looking at his classes he had physics in the morning, agriculture for an elective, first lunch, writing, and then math to end the day. As the bell rang, he headed for his physics class which he wasn't very excited for.

Upon entering the room, Ayatsuri noticed that the desks were conjoined to hold two students, unfortunately everyone was sitting with their group of friends and there were a few seats with only one person. Sighing, he saw a particular person that he had admired for a long time, the one and only Sasuke Uchiha. Cool and collected, the Uchiha was the silent ideal person that had a mysterious vibe which attracted many females. Unluckily, Ayatsuri was one of the few males, and perhaps the only male, that was captivated by the Uchiha. Walking over he was fighting with himself to build up the nerve to talk to his idol but ended up asking the male in the next table to sit with. Luckily, the boy was nice and let Ayatsuri sit next to him without any complaints. Though, as the teacher walked in, Ayatsuri's confidence in the class starting well turned around 180 degrees.

"Hello class, my name is Ms. Senju and I'm your physics teacher. Now since I don't want to deal with your chattering I have assigned a seating chart for all of you," the large busted woman said with a harsh tone. Ayatsuri felt a sweat drop crawling down his face at the terror he had just heard and the voice of hers made him tremble in fear. Ayatsuri nervously grabbed his bag and got up to stand in the back of the room with the other kids before they got their assigned seats. Glancing over, he saw the Uchiha was standing only a few people down from him, though he was surrounded by a group of girls who fawned over him.
