Chapter 10: The team

Naruto was just arriving at the training field that they were told to go to. He saw that Sasuke and Sakura were already there. "How long have you guys been here?" Asked Naruto.

"Since 7, where have you been, you're an hour late." Said Sakura.

"Me, I was eating, and for why I´m late, on Thursdays and Fridays I always start my training at 8" said Naruto while he sat down under a tree. "I forgot that you guys don't do as much training in the academy."

"What do you mean by that?" Asked Sasuke "didn't you just graduate."

"No I graduated a year ago, but because there wasn't enough to make another team I was on my own." Said Naruto while resting against the tree.

"So you did missions all by yourself?" Asked Sakura.

"I guess you could call them missions." Said Naruto "and before you ask I didn't have anyone to train me, some AnBus would just sponsor me in a way. I only got some advice from them."

They sat there for a couple of minutes in silence, then the minutes turned into another hour. For a while Sakura would ask a question and he would answer but they were mostly yes or no. Sasuke wanted to ask him why the wife of a Kage would want to talk to him.

"Hey idiot why did Lady Namikaze want to talk to you the day of team placements?" Finally asked Sasuke.

"Well bastard, she wanted me to….." Naruto couldn't finish that sentence when suddenly their sensei appeared.

"YOU´RE LATE" screamed Sakura while pointing a finger.

Kakashi for his part was rather calm "besides I got a good excuse for why I´m late" the three then looked at him curiously. "I got lost on the road of life." He said simply.

Sakura was about to scream but Naruto covered her mouth, "What are we going to do?" he asked while Sakura kept squirming trying to remove his hand.

"Well I´m going to give you all a test. A simple survival exam, where you need to get a bell" he then showed them two bells. "Whoever doesn't get one will be sent back to the academy. Oh right, you only have until noon. Start!" was all that he said when he jumped back so he was in the middle of the field. Sakura dove for some bushes, Sasuke went into the trees, and Naruto just casually walked into the trees. Kakashi was a bit taken back by what Naruto did, he expected him to go head first.

For a couple of minutes there wasn't any movement from any of them. Kakashi knew where each of them was.

Then two Narutos jumped over the tree line and started to throw shurikens. He easily sidestepped them and threw two of his own. As the shurikens were about to make contact three Narutos came at him from the tree line. "How about we go threw the lessons Naruto: First taijutsu." He took them out easily, he expected to find the real one but he only sent clones.

"Second lesson: Ninjutsu!" he heard from the trees "Shadow clone jutsu." Like last time clones came to fight him. "Wind style: minor wind bullets jutsu" "that's new" thought Kakashi as small wind bullets came at him. "Earth style: Mud wall jutsu." And a wall of mud rose to protect Kakashi.

"What…how does he know that jutsu?" Sasuke asked himself as Naruto did shadow clones; he used to do shadow clones.

"Wow" was all that Sakura said as she saw Naruto attack their sensei.

"Fuck, why aren't they getting the hints. I´m giving them plenty openings to attack." Thought Naruto as he sent another round of clones to attack, two went to go look for his teammates.

He then went to the clearing hopefully they would get the message. He didn't have a choice any more they were running out of time, he had to go in. Naruto went throw some hand seals "I hope they get the messages." "Water style: downpour jutsu" said Naruto, hoping Kakashi didn't notice the clone that actually did the jutsu, he could really do it since he was to far a way. Water from the river started to make a cloud over head and quickly began to rain.

"What is he planning thought" Kakashi as he started to get wet from the rain.

"Hey Kakashi, what´s rain without some electricity?" Yelled Naruto. "Lightning style: electric current jutsu." Naruto was using the best technique he had; it was a bit of a double bladed sword.

Kakashi easily evaded it with a log, but Naruto had yet to find a way for him to not get affected after all this was the first time he tried it out. Naruto got paralysis for a while.

By the time the clones reached his teammates he already got shocked. Sasuke was a bit hesitant and Sakura said she would do it if Sasuke went first. When Sasuke saw what Naruto did he decided to help, only to see that Kakashi had left.

"Hey there Sakura." Said Kakashi, while she was going to go see if Sasuke was going with the plan. She was then put under a basic genjutsu, one where a beaten and bloodied Sasuke came to her. She was about to scream when something caught her eye, a kunai was going directly into his heart, it should have killed him on the spot. "Release!"

"Interesting" Was all that Kakashi was thinking, he thought that she would easily fall for that.

He then headed to see where Sasuke was at, until he heard something "Wind Style: minor wind bullet jutsu." "Fire style: Phoenix Flower jutsu" he saw that the flames started to get bigger when they combined with the wind bullets. "Finally" was all that he said.

Just as they were about to connect he replaced himself with a log. Only to hear something flying towards him, he turned around to see shuriken and kunai going towards him. He easily dodged them, "Fire style: grand fireball jutsu." "Water style: water wall"

"Keep attacking him." Said Naruto to his teammates. "We almost got him."

Then everything went quiet when they heard a ringing sound. The timer had gone off, they ran out of time. "Well it seems you guys have failed to obtain a bell." Said Kakashi as he walked towards them, they where in the same spot that they had started. "But you guys got the real meaning of the test. Teamwork." He said with an eye smile.

"Are you serious, I thought you were testing them out to see if they were meant to be Genin. Since I´m already one I thought it was for them only" Said Naruto.

-Kakashi goes into the whole teamwork speech-

After Kakashi dismissed them, Sakura and Sasuke saying their thank god finally being able to eat, Naruto decided to train some more today. He made a lot of clones and had them attack him.

"It would be more interesting if you had real people sparring with you." Said a voice from behind him. He turned around to see that it was the princesses and Sasuke´s sister.

"I know but sometimes you just have to do with yourself." Said Naruto, after all he didn't have anything against this girl.

"True…." Satsuki started but was cut of by one of the twins. "Why didn't you take my mother´s offer?"

"Who are you? I can´t tell you two apart." Said Naruto.

"I´m Fuki" said the one that spoke before. "And I´m Yuki." Said the other. The only real difference between the two was the fact that they wore hairclips differently. Fuki had hers on the left while Yuki on the right. They both had their mother´s red hair; they had their father´s skin tone, and wore some kind of AnBu style clothing.

"Well as for why I didn't take your mother´s request was simple, I don't like her." Naruto said slowly the last part. Fuki then glared at him, and got pissed over what he said next. "Besides why would I want to join her team she´s just a simple bitch."

Yuki saw what her sister was planning she was mad too, but could tell he was baiting them. Just as she was about to grab on to her sister, she charged at him. Naruto saw the attack coming, he grabbed her fist, fell backwards, and kicked her over him. "Shadow clone jutsu" And two more appeared besides him. "Watch over those two." Was his simple command.

He then turned his attention towards Fuki, who already had recovered. She then got ready to throw some shurikens; Naruto only had a few left grabbed one, and did some hand seals. "Lightning style: Magnetic repulse." She threw around ten shuriken towards him, he threw his one and like the jutsu said all of the shurikens were repelled. "You have to do better." Said Naruto in a mocking tone. She charged at him again but this time instead of grabbing her fist he sidestepped her and smashed his elbow into her face, and let her fall to the ground.

She was even more pissed of she couldn't land a single hit on him. She got up and started to do hand seals but Naruto beat her "Wind style: minor wind bullets." She jumped back to where he team was at. "Yuki we´re doing that technique" she said in a commanding tone.

"But we don't have it mastered yet." Yuki said to her sister. "I don't care! DO IT!"

They both put out their hands and started to form a sphere of chakra. Naruto didn't care what they were doing he wouldn't let them finish it. "Lightning style: magnetic attraction." He threw the last 5 shurikens he had, as they passed over the ones that were on the floor they got attracted. They took the shape of 8 bladed shurikens coming towards them. "Lightning style: electric current" and electrified the shurikens for added measure.

"Earth style: mud wall" was the only thing they heard was before the shurikens got any closer. Naruto turned around and expected to find Kushina, but it was Kakashi. "Kakashi" was all that Naruto could say.

"You know Naruto what happens when you attack a fellow nin?" Asked Kakashi.

"I know, but she attacked me first, then they were about to do the Fourth´s technique." Said Naruto simply, he was only defending himself.

"Well then" he turned to face his sensei´s daughters. "I should tell your father about this. Naruto go home, you too Satsuki you may leave."

With that Naruto left not really caring anymore, he defended himself, sure he goad them but they were ninjas now they had to keep calm. He decided to go eat then go out, after all it was around 3 p.m. "damn tomorrow more D ranks"

-One month later-

When Sasuke and Sakura started to do D ranks, they realized what Naruto meant when he said they weren't exactly missions. Naruto would usually make a clone do the work for him while he would practice something new or reading, and sometimes he would just lie around and do nothing.

Pretty soon they got sick of this and each time he would make a clone they would punch it or throw something at it. So he was forced to do the work, which said it wasn't fair he had already done this for a year. But they would just ignore him.

So today was the day that each of them complained to Kakashi about getting a better mission. After a full hour of nagging he set ok and they went to get their first C rank mission.

-The whole Tazuna thing happens (he calls Naruto dumb looking instead)-

"Tazuna may I have a word with you" said Minato, just as everyone was leaving the room. Tazuna gulped he hoped that they didn't figure out what he was hiding.

"You´re lying about the mission rank are you" started Minato.

-At the gates-

Kakashi was the last one to arrive; Tazuna was still sitting down though. Kakashi was about to tell him that they should get moving, but Tazuna beat him to it. "We have to wait there is another team coming." When those words were said Naruto got this bad feeling in his stomach.

And sure enough a couple of minuets later Team 14 showed up. Fuki was out right glaring at him, Yuki was talking to her mother, who was glancing at him, and Satsuki went and greeted her brother. "Damn should´ve stuck with D ranks."

-Down the road-

Kushina suggested a formation to protect Tazuna, Kakashi in front followed by Sakura, Sasuke on the left, and Satsuki on the right, Naruto behind him followed by Kushina, and with his sisters on either side of him. Naruto said no that they should split up one team should go with Tazuna, while the other was tailing them, or in the forest so that if they get attacked they would have the drop on them. Kakashi had to agree with him, since this was now an A rank mission, they needed every advantage they can get. Well mostly the genin since he could hold his own against most missing nins, as could Kushina. She wanted to argue but couldn't after all Kakashi was leading the team, he was the one that got the mission.

-Speeding up a bit-

Naruto and Sasuke both took out the demon brothers with out much trouble. Kakashi was about to take them out but saw that they did an excellent job. He congratulated them, Sasuke got a small cut on his arm, but Sakura knowing a few medical techniques took out the poison. Kakashi was really proud his team when needed worked great together on missions.

Kushina saw what happened and was sad yet mad at the same time. Her son was getting really strong without a lot of help, with out the help of his family. She was mad that he should have teamed up with one of his sisters they could have done a better job.

-Fight with Zabuza-

Kakashi was trapped in the water prison, and his genin were to far off to do anything. Well Naruto knew how to water walk, but he couldn't take him out. Naruto and his team were thinking of a way to help him out, but they then saw a red blur go towards Zabuza. She easily took him out, she was about to cut his head off with her katana when senbon got embedded into his neck. Some Hunter nin came and took him away.

-After the whole Inari talk-

Naruto decided to go out and see if he could calm himself, he decided to go and take a walk in the woods. He didn't know that he was being followed. He kept walking deeper and deeper, not really caring, where he ended up. That kid had brought up bad memories; Inari had a mother that loved him. He had a family that abandoned him. Supposedly he didn't know what it was to suffer.

"You know you shouldn't go out and walk at the woods at night." Said a voice behind him, he recognized the voice and turned around to face Sasuke´s sister. "It's really dangerous."

"Probably but I feel better out here." He said. "Besides not a lot of things I can't take out here."

"True…..Hey do you have issues with the Namikaze family? Asked Satsuki.

"Do you have issues with your older brother?" Naruto answered with a question of his own.

"Satsuki go back to the house" said a different voice, this time Naruto groaned. Kushina was right above them hearing their whole conversation. "Yes sensei" was the black haired girls answer.

"So what can I do for you Miss Namikaze." Said Naruto knowing that he wouldn't get away this time.

"I wanted to talk with you; I wanted to ask you why you are so hostile to me and my daughters?" Asked Kushina.

"I´m not hostile to just you, I don't like your husband either." Said Naruto.

"Why, what did we ever do to get such disrespect, we have never done anything bad to you. I offered to train you a long with my daughters, do you have any idea what people would do to get that opportunity?" She said not knowing that Naruto already knew that they were his family.

"WHAT DID YOU DO? ARE YOU SERIUSLY ASKING THAT? Listen to me, Kushina Namikaze," she seemed to shrink a bit by that last remark "Your husband screwed my life over before I was even a day old. Do you see why I don't like your family!" said Naruto as he stared at Kushina. "He screwed me over I have no parents, there are only a few people I openly trust, and a portion of the village can´t stand me." Naruto kept walking into the forest; he didn't care what she wanted to say anymore he needed to get away.

Kushina for her part was in a huge turmoil, part of her was telling her to grab him and tell him the truth right there. Tell him that she left him out of fear, and safety of her daughters. Another part of her said if she did that then he would hate them more, after all he has never showed anymore signs that the Kyubi could take control or even used its chakra. She went back to the house and talk to her daughters, maybe they were the ones that would bring back Naruto to the family.

-Ame capital-

Angel was in a meditating position with his wings behind him tucked. His brother said that what their father told him wasn´t all of the truth. The 20 winged dragon did have some power with it; other wise there wouldn't be a seal on him. He needed to come to terms with it and to do that he needs to come in contact with it. But it was seemingly impossible right now.

"Angel this is soooooo fucking booooring. Let's fight or something, how else will you control that power if you don't train with it." Said a teen he had red hair, with a blue shirt and some jeans, and some sneakers on.

"Damn it Syko how many times do people have to tell you, just because you can control your fucking spirits more after you fight, doesn't mean it works with other people!" Said Angel clearly annoyed.

Then Syko threw something at Angel. It was a screw, that was spinning at a fast pace. Angel didn't even bother to dodge it; after all it was metal no point in dodging. "I swear if you threw one more screw at me, I´m going to beat the shit out of you." Said Angel in the calmest voice that he could. There was a reason Syko was called a psycho, partly because he had 4 different spirits in him, one was completely unstable, and he did things people would call crazy. You told him not to do something he would either do it, punch you, or something that wouldn't be expected. So he didn't throw another screw at Angel, he threw ten and all of them at vital areas, well anyone who couldn't absorb metal.

"THAT'S FUCKING IT" Angel then put out his hand, it looked like he was holding an invisible ball. "Angel shot." White lighting took the form of a ball in his hand, and was shot at an incredible speed. Syko dodged it "Finally some excitement!" He took out more screws and was about to throw them when he heard someone.

"Syko what have I told you about bothering people" said another person from the door way that led to the room that hey where in. He was tall he reached 6ft, had brown reddish hair slicked back and had a suit on. He was Syko´s older brother and the only one able to make him do anything.

"Not to do it" said Syko in a childish manner. "Angel, Gabriel is looking for you. He said that you need to start your training, meet him at the usual spot."With that Angel left, Syko´s older brother then turned towards him "and you, you said you were bored. I guess its time for your training as well." He then started to change. His Hair started to become green from the tip to a couple of inches from his scalp. His face started to change, mostly around his mouth two scars extended from the edge of it making it look like he had a deformed smile. Syko for his part looked rather calm "that's bullshit you know I can´t beat your dormant spirit."

"Too bad" Said his brother, and took out some kunai with explosive tags on them.

AU

I just wanted to say thanks for all of the reviews, forgot to mention that, and keep them coming.
