Chapter 9: Meetings
There was one week left before he found out who his team would be. He was a bit nerves, only because he didn't want to be with the Konoha princesses. He wanted to talk with Inu, but he hasn't seen him or anyone that could be him since that day.
-Flashback-One month ago-
Naruto was going to the meeting place to see if Cat or Beaver were there. He started to get along with Cat after she found him singing. She said that it was calming. When he arrived he didn't expect to find Inu, it was a relief for him. After all he hasn't seen Inu in who knows how long.
"Hey there Naruto long time no see." Said Inu.
"I know, where have you been? I´ve been wanting some advice now, or at least some new tips." Said Naruto.
"Well then before I can help you I need to know what you can do now. If I find out that you haven't improved anything since I left then I´m going to use you as my training dummy. How does that sound?" Said Inu.
"Ok, bring it on then!" said Naruto excited to spar with someone.
-After Naruto´s asskicking-
"Well then you have gotten stronger, really shocking since you don't have a real sensei to train you." Said Inu as he watch Naruto with bumps and small bruises lying on the ground. "You even got a couple of hits on me."
"Yeah well I´m still on the floor getting my ass handed to me." Said Naruto still not moving from the floor.
"Well what did you expect I´m ANBU, but I´m serious your good, probably good enough to be chunin. Sigh . Listen Naruto this might be the last time we meet, I´m getting pulled out from ANBU and getting a team this year. The good news is if they fail then I return to being ANBU." Said Inu while Naruto turned his head to look at him.
"So will we ever meet again? You know like face to face, and me knowing it´s you?" asked Naruto in a downcast voice.
"Maybe, later Naruto. Good spar." And with that Inu left.
-Present-
Maybe Inu would pull another string and have him on his team. "That would be awesome."But a part of him knew that it would be impossible. If Kushina wanted him on a team with her daughters then it will happen, after all her husband was the Hokage. His only chance was if Sasuke and Sakura passed and the jounin asks for him.
"I´m screwed" he thought "Might as well go and get ready for my dinner date." Izune and him had been dating for 4 months and she wanted him to meet her parents. Tomorrow he would be single again.
-Around 5-
He was told to go early so he was walking towards the house right now. He was wearing a black with white vertical stripes dress shirt, some black jeans, since he didn't have anything to fancy and black sandals. To think all of this was after people heard him singing in the library. He found out that the rumors Iruka told him were true. Some girls would come up to him and ask him to sing out of the blue. Some tried flirting with him but in the end he would roof jump, or he would cave.
He then arrived at the address that his girlfriend gave him. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. To his relief Izune was the one to answer. "Good you came just in time." She said with a smile, she gave him a quick peck on the lips. "C´mon my parents are in the living room" "Here we go" was all that he thought and began to fallow her. He entered a pretty normal looking living room, furniture, coffee table, TV set and pictures on the wall. Her parents were sitting on the sofa while they motioned him to sit down, and along with him sat Izune.
Her father was average height, brown short hair, was in good shape and was in casual wear. Her mother was thin had a darker shade of brown, she looked to be a couple of inches shorter then her husband, and was in a black dress.
"So you're the one dating our daughter." Said Izune´s father.
-Some minutes later-
After a while of them asking questions and him answering Izune and her mother went to set the table, he was left alone with her father. He knew that this moment was going to come, her father would then tell him to stay away from his daughter and what not. But after like a few seconds he didn't here anything. "Are you ok with me dating your daughter?" Naruto finally asked.
"No. But I really don't like any guy dating my daughter." he said while still looking at Naruto.
"What I mean is….well you know the fact that she is dating me….the container." Said Naruto hesitating a bit.
"Listen kid I know who you are, so does my wife. A lot of people know too they either chose to be ignorant, while others see you as the forgotten so…..savior of Konoha. Then there are others who hate you, thinking you are what…is inside." He said calming down Naruto a bit. "If you try anything with my daughter though I´ll castrate you, with a butter knife." He added at the end.
They had a good dinner they asked a few more questions. And the topic of him singing was brought up, he told them that it was true, but to him it was more like a hobby. A friend of his had inspired him to start. They would then embarrass their daughter by telling them some old stories when she was younger; he would laugh but would stop when he saw the glare that Izune was giving him. It was an event full dinner, but he had to leave. He said his goodbyes and on the porch he kissed Izune goodbye.
-Next day-
He was going to the training grounds to meet up with Kurenai. Apparently this would be their last training day together for a while; she too was going to get a team. He saw her on the in the field waiting for her, he decided to place a genjutsu on her.
"You still need to practice more in order for me to fall in one." She said easily dispelling it.
"Can´t blame a guy for trying right." he said as he walked up to her. "So what are you going to try out this time?" he asked.
"Well I was hoping that instead of training we could just spend the day getting to know each other better." Said Kurenai with a small smile.
"Bullshit" "You want me to sing don't you." Said Naruto rather than asking. "I´m going to take a shot in the dark here, there are people in the trees."
Kurenai for her part had a sheepish grin while shrugging her shoulders. Three people then appeared next to her, they were all female. One had brown hair tied in a ponytail and had triangles on her cheeks. The other was only wearing a trench coat with a fishnet under, and had purple hair in a bun. The last one was one he already knew, Cat.
"Seriously this is getting really….tiresome." Said Naruto.
Naruto had to sing ten different songs. They either asked him to really politely or they threatened him. But after a while he made up an excuse that his voice would get sore and the next day he wouldn't be able sing. And if that happened he would never sing again if fear that he would lose his voice. Of course they didn't believe him but they let him go. When Kurenai was about to leave he asked her to hold up for a minuet.
"Hey since you're going to take up a team, do you know who I´m going to be with?" He asked.
"From what I´ve heard your going to be put under Kushina and with her daughters. You´re lucky, the team that she had before became legendary well each. Yu….I mean Cat, she´s one of the best AnBu. Itachi Uchiha, well he is self explanatory, and well the last one you wouldn't really know of but he was from her clan and went back to their village. When they fought together they were practically unbeatable. They were always compared to the team that the Hokage once had." Said Kurenai, she noticed that when she mentioned that he was going to be on their team, he looked down. "Why do you look so down?"
"Well let's just say I don't feel really comfortable being around the Namikazes." Was all that he said. "Anyway thanks for telling me see you soon, I hope." And with that he left towards his apartment.
-Night-Naruto´s dream-
He was walking down the same corridor from last time he could see well but this time he started to faintly hear a female voice. "Come here…..closer…. I´m waiting…" as he was about to push the door he once again woke up. This time he woke up just as the sun was rising.
He got up and decided to go spend the rest of the week with his girl; after all he was going to have a team soon, one that he didn't like, but a team none the less.
-One week later-
Naruto was walking towards the academy, he felt like a death row inmate. He was going to get place with them. This sucked beyond anything he could imagine. He was walking towards the room Iruka told him to go to. He opened the door to see he was one of the few to be there. There was some kid with weird hair looking out the window and next to him was a girl that looked like him, maybe his sister. Another was a kid with glasses and a heavy looking coat, an Aburame. In the front desk was probably the sensei of this class. "What was his name…..Mizuki" Thought Naruto, he went to the top corner away from the window and sat down.
After a while everybody had showed up, a lot more had passed this his class. Some people glanced in his direction and while others would just keep on looking. He knew that there were two girls that would look in his direction and would turn around before they would make eye contact. His younger sisters Yuki and Fuki.
"Alright class today will be the last time we will see each other in this class…
Naruto zoned out not really caring after all he´s already heard this. He then started to pay attention to him when he heard names being called. "Team one will consist…." He didn't care none of the names had caught his attention until, "Team seven will consist of Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and…."
-Jounin lounge-
Kakashi was reading his favorite book, while he was hearing what his fellow Jounin were saying about their team. Some wished that they would be the ones to teach at least one of the Hokages daughters, only a couple wanted Naruto. Then everyone went quiet when Kushina came in and walked over to Kakashi.
"Why did you do that?" Asked Kushina in a fiery tone.
"Do what?" said Kakashi while putting his book down; after all he didn't want to disrespect the wife of his sensei.
"Why did you request Naruto to be put on your team, I already asked for him." She said
"Well because the team that I had in mind would be better suited for him, a heavy assault team, while your team was too overpowered. Besides blame the Third Hokage, he´s the one that made it so that balanced teams always come before requested ones." Said Kakashi
Kushina didn't know what to say, he was right after all. She just walked out the door to see if her team was ready. Maybe she could convince Naruto to sign a transfer so that they could be together. Her plan was simple, get him to like his team, then one day bring him to meet his father, reveal to him that he is their son, they would make amends with him for leaving him and he would accept them.
-Academy-
"…..Naruto Uzumaki they will be under Kakashi Hatake." Naruto had a huge smile on his face he couldn't believe it. His sisters on the other hand weren't so happy; they knew that he was their brother and wanted to get closer to him. "Team 14 will consist of Yuki Namikaze, Fuki Namikaze, and Satsuki Uchiha they will be under Kushina Namikaze."
After the last team was called the first Jounin were arriving, the first one was well known, Kushina Namikaze. She walked up to Mizuki and whispered something in his ear; he then nodded and stood up. "Naruto, Miss Namikaze would like to speak to you."
Naruto got up and followed her, there wasn't anything she could do right now, he wasn't under her tutelage. Everyone else in class was looking at him while he walked down. Kushina for her part had already gone to the hallway, and he followed out.
"So Miss Namikaze what do you want." Naruto said not caring if it sounded disrespectful.
"Call me mom" was what she thought "Well I want you to sign this paper so you can get transferred to my squad."
Naruto however thought "fuck that shit" "Miss Namikaze I like my squad that I have been so wisely been placed on." He said while smirking in the inside.
"Under my tutelage you can become one of the greatest Nins this village has ever produced. You along with your si….squad can go down in history as the greatest team." She said trying to come up with an excuse.
"I´m sorry but I don't want to change teams I thank you for the offer though." "I´m sorry, thank you, what the fuck did I say that for" He then turned around and walked back in. He started to walk in when he heard her say, "Can you tell my team to please come outside."
When he walked in he saw that everyone was looking at him, and it was annoying. "What the fuck are all of you looking at. Whoever is with Miss Namikaze, you should go outside." As he finished saying that he went and sat down. Now all he had to do was wait for his sensei some Kakashi.
-2 hours later-
Naruto was annoyed his teammate Sakura kept asking some stupid questions and kept fawning over the Uchiha. At first he could care less then she said he better not get in the way of Sasuke´s way. That he was better, and some other stuff. Stupid fan girls, well the really dense ones. He had some but god damn she beat them all hands down. Not even putting his headphones on gave her the clue that he didn't want to listen to her.
Right when he was about to retaliate, someone walked in. "My first impression of you is…Your all boring. Now meet me on the roof." And with that he vanished. Naruto had a single thought in his head "his hair is weird" and had a huge smile on his face.
-On the roof-
"Finally you all got here. Well let's start of with introducing each other" Said Kakashi while he eye smiled. "Um what do you mean sensei? Why don't you go first" said Sakura.
"Wow your dumb; just say your name and what ever else you want to add." Said Naruto in an annoyed voice, while he kept staring at Kakashi´s hair.
"Here let me put an example. My name is Kakashi, my likes….not important, my dislikes…..not your business, my hobbies…..not old enough, and my dream….well that's for me to know. You next pinky."
"Well my name is Sakura Haruno, my likes are (looks at Sasuke) and reading, my dislikes is this blond idiot." "What the fuck did I ever do to you!" "My dream is to one day be married (looks at Sasuke) and be famous mednin."
"Next the…" "What´s with your hair." Said Naruto interrupting Kakashi and looking directly at Kakashi. "It's all grey and spiked up."
"As I was saying your next." Said Kakashi pointing to Sasuke.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I like my living family, I dislike a few things, my hobbies…not saying with her around" he said while pointing at Sakura "And my dream….no my ambition…" "What's with your hair too, how much gel do you use? How long does it take for you to get it that way?" Said Naruto once again. "MY Ambition is to kill a certain man and to make a certain someone shut up." "And finally you" said Kakashi while pointing to Naruto.
"Well my name is Naruto, my likes are singing and going out with my girlfriend, my dislikes are a certain family, my hobbies are singing and writing songs. My dream is to….well I don't have a long term dream, but my current goal is to make sure his last ambition doesn't happen." Said Naruto while pointing at Sasuke.
"Right well tomorrow meet me on training ground 7 and don't eat breakfast" Said Kakashi as he was about to disappear he heard Naruto say something. "Ok, Inu see you tomorrow." Kakashi just smiled.
AU
So the teams will be the same, except team 14 will be the new addition. Hopefully this will be the last slow chapter. I can't wait to write out the Chunin exam, the return of Angel and the appearance of the Third child, Akatsuki and the new organization. And at the end of this Chronicle will be the retrieval mission.
bankai777 the whole prank thing sounds awsome but I already made some plans and Minato needs to be Hokage, awsome idea though.
