Chapter 7: A Shocking Past
The hokage sighed after Anko picked up Hikari once again. There was a knock on the door, "Come in Kakashi." The white haired jounin came in without his book. "Hokage-sama. About Hikari, she seems to er, well, sway personality wise. She goes from happy to killer mode to a complete mental case. I'm not referring to PMSing either. Er, this is awkward isn't it?" The hokage held back a giggle.
"Maybe she's hit puberty. I mean isn't Sakura a bit like this?" Kakashi stared. This topic just wasn't comfortable for him even if he is a pervert. The hokage was good at making up excuses. Clearly, it distracted Kakashi.
I tell him the truth. The time traveling jutsu is the real problem, though puberty may be one as well…I'll have to ask Anko. When Hikari was waiting for Anko a couple of weeks ago, she spoke about how the jutsu is mentally effecting her, driving her insane, but the kyuubi should keep it in check. I can't believe they trusted me enough to tell me why the kyuubi attacked…
Flashback
Hikari stared down the hokage after her team left. "Old man, Kyuubi has given me permission to tell you why he attacked Konoha." The hokage let her continue.
"A long time ago, he was once a fox happily skipping and living. This was millennias ago. During that time, there were no ninja but simply very holy people. He once came across an incident where his mate and kits were murdered by humans. Then someone stabbed him and left him to die but he was saved by Tenku. Yes, one of the two Gods, granted him the power to look out for people who worship his own power, fire. He was given no choice. He contains half the power of the Tenku. So he became the fox spirit demon. Since he hated humans, because of what happened, he left them be. There are those few with enough wisdom to seek out his help. If Kyuubi deemed worthy, he shall grant it. All fire power is said to be demonic. He is the reason why. So anyways, once someone came to make a deal with him. This person came from Konoha which was just made. He asked for the power of revenge, a family matter. The Kyuubi was intrigued and granted a deal. A couple of decades later, descendants of the human began to neglect the enternal deal. The Kyuubi was in enraged and went to break the contract. This has happened thousands of times throughout the centuries. People came to fear the kyuubi as a natural cause. The Kyuubi didn't care for humans so any humans in the way were destroyed. The Tenku was sealed away long ago and didn't control the kyuubi anymore. When he attacked Konoha, his mentally gave way for carrying so much power. He saw humans, attacking back. His memories from his past were brought back. All he saw was red, then the Shinigami giving him a sorrow look. He saw a blonde man crying and a baby coming closer and closer. He was confused for years. Who was he? Where does he belong? He detested humans and that was all he could think of. It only took Hikari Uzumaki Kazama to change him, slowly but it happened. He showed compassion once again, as if he gained a precious thing back. And so here he is, trying to be what he was chosen for. Not a demon, but a spirit watching over Konoha, and his kit. He hopes to one day let her continue the legacy he's trying to built. All people need to do is forgive. A second chance. No one ever does things for no reason. However, I still think otousan is hiding something from me…" The hokage watched stunned. Now he was the one confused as Anko took Hikari. The hokage wanted to do something for the Kyuubi. He decided to give the Kyuubi a symbol of loyalty to Konoha, a ninja forehead band.
End of FlashbackThe hokage shook his head. He'll ask Hikari if Kakashi and Iruka can know the story. Good thing he already recorded the real history of the Kyuubi no Yoko. Now, the truth will never be lost. The hokage knew one thing. There is a clan in Konoha which fears its history and wants it to remain a secret.
Kakashi was still rambling about 'girl issues' and the hokage laughed, "Aren't you a pervert." Kakashi looked down, "I'm afraid to ask Hikari or Sakura. Women get vicious when you insult their pride. It's worse than an Uchiha's pride. They get revenge with harmful punches, or threaten your manhood…" Both men in the room shivered remembering such past experiences. The hokage specifically remembered two of his students, Tsuande, the one who constantly abuses his perverted student. Jiriya, probably became a sannin of living through Tsunade's hell punches for being a pervert. It's a wonder he's alive.
"So, are you entering your team in the exams this year? I heard there is trouble, be cautious. Orochimaru is on the move." Kakashi nodded, "That's exactly why I'm entering them. They are more than ready, and I believe Hikari needs to talk to the snake, before she makes a nice purse." The hokage raised a brow, "Her exact words?" Kakashi shuddered, "I said a cleaner version…" Women They both thought.
Sakura was angry. Kakashi isn't here okay. Naruto doesn't seem to come on time either. But her Sasuke-kun?! He wasn't here either! She notices that after two hours, three figures appear, her Sasuke-kun, the idiot, and cute LITTLE Ramen.
"Ohayo! Sasuke-kun! I've been waiting for you! Did the baka make you late?" giggled Sakura. Both boys rolled their eyes. Ramen growled at Sakura and leaped into Sasuke's arms. Once again making Naruto fuming but this always gave the Uchiha a pleasant response. Sasuke truned to Sakura after settling on the bridge, "Simple, I figured that since Naruto and Kakashi are always late, why bother staying here for two hours? So, when Kakashi says a meeting is at 8am, then its actually at 10am." Sakura blushed, "You're so smart Sasuke-kun." Naruto grinned. Sasuke knew perfectly well it was three hours not two. Evil bastard, in a good way.
"Yo! Guess what?" asked Kakahi as he popped into view. Naruto smirked, "The new porn series came out." Kakashi teared, "How cruel, Naruto. No, my dear hero didn't finish. And here I was going to recommend you for the chunin exams." Naruto bit his lip to not laugh.
Sakura squealed, "Don't mind that baka! Of course we're thankful to be in the exams!" Naruto snickered, "Well, I never thought that you, a female, would be praising a porn series in which it degrades women to a point where they're nothing but a sex toy." Kakashi protested, "NO! This book has action too!" Naruto had a dsisguisted face on, "Then fuck the book! It's obvious you're so horny and so not a ladies man."
Sakura wanted to be in the exams, "What are you talking about?! I'm a woman! I'm allowed to insult myself! What about your own self?" Naruto says, "You're crazy! I respect women!" Sasuke laughed, "Then what is your sexy no jutsu about?" Naruto glared at Sasuke. How badly did Naruto want to kill Sasuke for remembering that. Wait, Naruto could spin this in his face, "Oh? Are you thinking about it now? Need a cold shower?" Sasuke's sweat dropped and he completely turned his back to Naruto. Naruto blushed seeing as his left foot was shaking?
Kakashi cleared his throat, "Sexy no jutsu?" Sakura yelled, "Yeah! He turns into this blonde female who's naked! He used to throw himself at Iruka and that form as a prank." Kakashi blushed beet red. Damn lucky Iruka! Kakashi grinned. He knew he will get hit badly later, but it will be worth it, "Hey, Naruto! I want to see that jutsu! It's an order! NO, a mission!" Naruto shot out killer intent which mixed with Ramen's. Kakahi shaked but held his ground.
"Sexy no jutsu!" There poofed out an older version of Hikari, stark naked. Damn lucky Uchiha! I know she likes that boy! Grr. Aww, crap. She's my sensei's student. I think I should lay off the books.
Sakura turned to see a paler than normal Sasuke and Kakashi passed out with a red mask. Naruto grinned evilly; he started to beat the crap out of Kakashi. Sasuke paled. Sakura cheered him on. Cha! He so respects women! I knew Sasuke-kun was no pervert either. Kakashi is very corrupt.
Naruto came back with three passes for the chunin exams. So, they walked off as a team, leaving the bloody jounin on the bridge.
Meanwhile, the hokage wondered what is taking Kakashi so long to come back and report. He sent ninja to get him. What he got was a bloody jounin with a little note in Hikari's handwriting. Ji-chan, the pervert MADE me use sexy no jutsu. The hokage evily grinned at the unconscious form. Oh, Kakashi thought the punishment was over, how wrong he was.
Back with team 7, Sasuke was twitching and Ramen's purring wasn't helping so he dropped him. Ramen jumped in the air and onto Naruto's shoulders. "Oh kit! You wouldn't believe it! The uchiha got a nosebleed! Sure, it was small but was still there. He probably got an erection too! I mean his body is so sweaty! It's like he's nervous but hey you were more than likely the first one to do that to him!" Naruto was blushing and trying to hide it. Luckily, everyone was in their own world and didn't notice.
"Hey Boss!" yelled the Konohamaru. Naruto and his team mates turned to see the Konohamaru corps. "Yo! Long time no see!" yelled Naruto waving. Moegiran faster and squealed, "Aww! Who is this cutie?!" Sakura giggled, "He's Ramen! Team 7's fox-nin!" Konohamaru looked at the fox, "Boss, you never told me you had a fox." Naruto laughed, "You don't know everything. I found him after I graduated?" Sasuke sensed a lie in that but ignored it for now. Sasuke really didn't have time for all this, "Hey dobe! You can repay that favor by keeping any fan girls from me all week, I need to prepare for next week."
Naruto hmpfed by agreed. "Okay, but I'll start tomorrow, I promised to play ninja with these guys." Sakura chuckled, "Aren't you a little old for that?" Naruto smirked, "I like kids. It's fun to play with them. Clearly it's too childish for you. Are you going to leave your kids bored if you have any?" Sasuke was still in hearing range as he walked off. Sakura was cherry red, "NO! In fact! I'm playing too!" Cha! I'll show Sasuke-kun I'm a great mother!
So they all played until Iruka gave them a test to see if they were ready for the exams. They were.
The next following day, Sasuke and Naruto were walking beside each other. Naruto was bitchy to Sakura if she came near. Sasuke was shocked yet happy about it. The Konohamaru corps. Came by and started to tease Sasuke because Naruto was his body guard.
This lead to the Uchiha losing his cool while Naruto stating, "Little kids aren't fan girls."
Eventually Konohamaru bumped into a ninja. The ninja picked up the little boy and hissed, "No respect kid. I'll teach you." Ramen growled. The two sand-nin looked to see two little kids and two ninja. "I suggest you let go of the hokage's grandson, " camly stated Sasuke. Kankuro laughed, "As if I care what a bunch of genin say. And I'll kill that whimpy fox if it growls one more time." Temari shrugged, "Whatever, you take the responisblity." Naruto and Sasuke each grabbed a kid and backed away. Kankuro smiled, "It's good you know where you are." Naruto stuttered, "Um, I'm not afraid of you. You insulted Ramen." Kankuro raised a brow, "Ramen? AHHH!!!"
Ramen bit the ninja hard on the wrist letting blood flow. Konohamaru was dropped and he ran to Naruto. Kankuro was running in circles screaming, "Please stop! This fucking hurts!" Temari sighed, "That's what you get for being an ass!" Ramen soon looked sick and jumped off. Naruto started laughing hard. Sasuke asked, "What did Ramen say?" Naruto chuckled, "The ninja tasted like rotten flesh and sour blood. It seems he wasn't very tasty. Oi! Hey! You ninja! Try lavender soap! Ramen hates that stuff! And don't insult him!" Kankuro wrapped his arm in a bandage and growled. Sasuke twitched at the soap comment.
Kankuro was about to attack again when Gaara appeared, "Enough! Let's go Kankuro! You're being a disgrace to our village. If you do that again, I'll kill you." Naruto looking oblivious screamed, "HI NINJA! What's your name? You sound like a fun guy! Wanna play ninja?" Sasuke hit his head mentally at Naruto's stupidity. Gaara glared, "I'll kill you." The three ninja walked off after learning Sasuke's name and Naruto shooing off the sand ninja that flirted with Sasuke.
When the two were walking back home, Naruto sighed loudly. Sasuke ignored it. Naruto sighed louder. Eventually, Sasuke couldn't take it, "WHAT?!" Naruto smiled, "Nothing. Why'd ya yell?" Sasuke twitched, "Need something?" Naruto thought, "Nah, I was just thinking how maybe instead of a guy warding off fan girls, why not have a girlfriend do that? I mean couldn't you just choose one from the whole club?" Sasuke turned away his face but spoke, "Oh? Are you saying I'm gay?" Naruto turned to face the back of his head, "Well, considering you're single and avoid females unless nessacary, yes, yes I am."
Sasuke glared as Naruto ran ahead with Ramen. Naruto won this round, but he'll get him back, somehow.
Soon the chunin exams came up. Naruto spent a lot of time training with Kyuubi and had a lot of feminine lessons courtesy of Anko. The only things she needs left were cooking and sowing. Funny, considering she wanted to learn those things first.
Team 7 entered to see a genin being bullied by other genin. Sasuke smirked, "Oi! Let down the genjutsu! This is room 201! Not 301! Sakura, I'm sure you noticed, care to elaborate?" Sakura's eyes glimmered because her Sasuke-kun acknowledged her. "Well, o course. This is the second floor, the test is on the third. You two are clearly chunin testing us."
Everyone was shocked then a guy in a green jumpsuit walked up, "Ah! My beautiful Sakura-chan! You're as smart as ever. Please be my girlfriend! I will protect you with my life." Sakura was appauled by his appearance. She twitched as she said, "No." Naruto grinned, "Hiya fuzzy-brows! You know you're just like Sakura-chan! She chases after teme who always rejects her cold! And you're chasing after Sakura who rejects you cold! But you won't quit." Sasuke smirked at the irony. The guy turned to the smirking ninja, "I am Rock Lee! I challege you for Sakura's heart!" Sasuke spat in disgust, "Have her." Sakura teared but sucked it up.
"Lee-baka!" said Lee's girl team mate while hitting him in the head. So, the teams were introduced and then they went. Lee wanted to fight the Uchiha and won. Gai-sensei showed up and scarred team 7 for life. The team registered and went into the exams room. Kakashi was blocking the door. He gave his speech. As Hikari walked in, she gave Kakashi a soft look. Kakashi sighed. He was already informed of the truth. Kakashi smiled and nodded giving Hikari the approval she was looking for. Naruto ran to catch up with the team.
"Oh look! There's the baka!" yelled Kiba. Akamaru barked, "Yeah!" Naruto backed away. Holy crap! I understood what Akamaru said! "Yes kit. After getting your first tail, you learn the universal language between all animals." So would Kiba understand you? "No. Akamaru speaks dog to him while random comments are made in universal. So Kiba thinks that he heard a yeah from Akamaru, but it was just a bark. It comes from bonding I guess."
Team 7 surveyed the room. There was rookie 9. Hinata was looking down. Choji was muching chips. Shino was quiet. Kiba was blabbling. Shikamaru was looking lazy and yawning. Ino well…
"SASUKE-KUN! I waited so long for you!" screamed a blonde banshee. Sakura latched on Sasuke's other arm and yelled, "BACK OFF! He's mine Ino-pig!" Sasuke was pleading mercy in his head while showing no emotion on his face. Naruto flew two feet back. He got up rubbing his head (where his now sensitive fox ears were).
"SHUT UP! Ouch! That hurt! Sasuke your fan girls will be the death of me!" whined Naruto rubbing his head. The two girls glared then ignored him. Sasuke said, "You owe me. I said no fan girls." Naruto smiled, "Where you enjoying luxury? It's been a week." Sasuke had the 'oh shit' look. Sakura stopped flirtling to say, "Hey Naruto! The test will be soon! Where's Ramen?"
Everyone stared at Sakura. Was she spending too much time with Naruto? Sasuke noticed that too and said, "Naruto, if we're taking this test as a team, then we need Ramen." Everyone was confused. Was ramen a drug? Normally only Naruto was a ramen addict, but now Sakura and the UCHIHA?! Naruto squirmed, "I don't think Ramen is a good idea right now." The rookie 9 looked on. Wow! Naruto not wanting ramen? Sakura pouted, "Why not? Kiba has Akamaru! With Ramen, we can so have an advantage. Besides, Ramen is a real cutie to have around." Sasuke nodded, "Dobe, I want MY Ramen." The rookie 9 were thinking. WTF? Naruto sighed hoping certain people won't notice and obliged. "Sho! Kitsune no HAI!"
Ramen yipped. The rookie 9's face faultered. Ramen was a fox? Naruto picked him up and gave him to Sasuke, "You asked so you can keep YOUR Ramen for the test." Sasuke frowned. Damn. He got me again! Sakura came to Sasuke and started to pet Ramen, "Hey cutie! I haven't seen you in a while! Look we're at the chunin exams! Be a good fox and help Sasuke-kun okay?" Ramen yipped and observed the people around him.
Ino squealed, "AWW! Sasuke-kun your fox is so cute!" She came to pet him. Sasuke was getting glomped by fan girls and Naruto snickered. Kiba came with Akamaru, "So you guys have a pet? Heh. It's nothing compared to Akamaru, he's a nin-dog." Sasuke heard this and dropped Ramen. He grabbed Sakura and Ino and threw them towards Naruto and followed. Everyone thought that was weird until…
"AHH! Holy crap this hurts like a bitch! What in hell did I do?! Get your fox off my ass, Sasuke!" yelled Kiba while Akamaru barked. Sasuke smirked, "It's Naruto's fox." Everyone turned to see Naruto scratching the back of his head, "It's Kiba's fault. Ramen has the pride of an Uchiha! You diss his pride, you get bit. Kiba should've listened to Akamaru's warning." Ramen got off and jumped back into Sasuke's arms. Kiba held his bottom.
"Wait. Naruto you can understand Akamaru and me?" asked Kiba. Naruto smiled, "Only when he talks in the universal language. And may I say good job on corrupting your poor puppy." Kiba looked confused as Naruto went up to whisper to Sakura and Ino. They girls became red and punched Kiba very hard, "PERVERT!" Naruto laughed, "Don't worry. I won't say what Akamaru said. Although, the banshees might." Sakura and Ino were angry. They tried to punch him too, but he dodged, "You miss!" Naruto kicked them back away from Sasuke and Ramen. Sasuke cheered Naruto on inside his mind.
Naruto grabbed Ramen from Sasuke and walked up to Hinata, "Hey Hinata, wanna pet Ramen? He's isn't as bad as Akamaru." Hinata shyly petted Ramen and giggled as he licked her face. Kiba growled. Akamaru barked, "Show off fox! Why don't I tell master about that fox smell coming from Naruto?" The fox jumped out of Naruto's arms and went to Akamaru, "YOU HARM MY KIT AND I'LL PROMISE YOU THAT I'LL MURDER YOUR MASTER SLOWLY WHILE YOU WATCH!" Naruto panicked, "Calm down. Akamaru is a loyal dog. Aren't you?" glared Naruto as he walked away and placed Ramen back in Sasuke's arms.
Kiba looked at Akamaru. Akamaru barked. Kiba sighed. So, insulting foxes just isn't a good idea. Looks like Akamaru called him fuzzy and got bitched! Damn foxes.
Soon, a man with glasses came to the group that was bickering.
