(Authors Notes)
Welcome minions, and minionettes! To chapter 12! (And the crowd goes wild) another long chapter for ya'll. I'd like to bring up something from my last set of author's notes, about the face time Kensei will be getting as of right now. This chapter has more of Kensei as well as Hana. It's pretty much date night i guess you could say and I wanted to break up Kensei's date thing with Hana, up with Naruto and Hinata's date along with Naruto's lil chat with Hiashi. Naruto and Hinata's night will be pretty long too so that is why it is split up the way it is. Anyways! Enjoy!
I don't own Naruto or any of it's characters, I do happen to own any of the OC's that i put into my story.
Deeper Than He Really Seems
Naruto woke up bright, and early at 7:30am the next morning so that he could be up, and ready to head out of his apartment to meet up with Sasuke for their morning training session. Getting dressed in his usual attire, and walking into the kitchen he saw a note on the kitchen table. Upon reaching the table, and grabbing the note he saw that it had been written by Kensei. "Dear little shit."
Naruto got a tick mark on his forehead upon reading his brother's beginning to the note. "The old man Hokage summoned me a little bit ago while you were asleep, I'll be back in a couple hours. When you get done with your morning training with your pal, your ass better be at the apartment. You'll find out why later. Hugs n Kisses XOXOXOXO Kensei." Naruto just blanched at what his brother had said in the note to him. "That dumbass.." Naruto grumbled to himself.
Crumpling the note up and throwing it in the trash can, Naruto made his way through the kitchen to make some breakfast real quick before heading out. After deciding on what to eat, he munched down on some heart healthy cheerios with low cholesterol *shakes head* i mean Wheaties *shakes head again* I mean eggs, and toast that he made with some of the groceries that Hinata had managed to sweet talk him into purchasing the day before. Naruto set out for the training area that Sasuke and him would meet up at.
"At least Sasuke won't be trying to kill me with a giant fireball for being late today like yesterday.." Naruto said to himself as he locked up the apartment before taking off to the roof tops like some par-core athlete. He may be a ninja, and all but come on.. he ain't no Brent Stephenson. (Hahaha good for you if you know what I'm talking about.)
Arriving at the training field he noticed he was in fact a little bit earlier than expecting to be. After warming up with some stretches for a few minutes he saw Sasuke walking up to the training field where their training would be taking place.
"Your early." Sasuke said simply.
"Yeah, I figured dying earlier than expected today was not a good thing.." Naruto said, effectively bring up the memory of him having to talk, and deal with Hinata's dad later tonight.
"What do you mean "earlier than expected" Naruto?" Sasuke questioned.
"Oh, well i guess you can say I'm dating Hinata now, and that I have to meet with her dad before we can go out on our date tonight.." Naruto shivers slightly at the prospect of what he was expecting to happen tonight.
"Hn. It's about time you noticed her. Seriously everyone knew that she liked you, except for the one person who really should of known to begin with... you really are dense sometimes.." Sasuke said trying to rile up Naruto before they began their sparring.
"Hey how was I supposed to know she liked me with all the stuttering, and fainting she did around me whenever i tried to talk to her huh?!" Naruto paused for a minute thinking of something else. "And why didn't anyone tell me about this?" Naruto said finishing what he was saying.
"It was non of my business, beside I don't have time for gossip, or dealing with who likes who, and stuff like it." Sasuke said as if it was the simplest thing in the world.
"Fine.. lets just get started with our training, I apparently have to do somethings afterwards."
"Like what? I'm sure you already are planning on taking Hinata to Ichiraku's for dinner tonight, so I highly doubt you have anything else to do later." Sasuke said throwing a jab of words at his friend.
"Uh.. yeah I was planning on taking her there.. but I really do have things to do afterwards. I'll tell you after we spar for a while ok?" Naruto said hoping to get training out of the way for the morning.
"Fine, taijutsu sparring first, then the fun stuff." Sasuke said with a smirk adorning his face.
"Ugh... your still mad about me being late yesterday, aren't you?" Naruto said but couldn't get an answer as Sasuke immediately charged Naruto with a fist flying towards his face.
With Kensei
Kensei has been at the Hokage's office for the past hour, or so talking to the Hokage about a couple of things of importance to the young Uzumaki Heir. And quite frankly Kensei was bored... borderline falling asleep where he was sitting, which was right in front of the Hokage, and next to a younger looking Jounin that had long slightly spiked dark browning hair and red eyes, almost looking like a Sharingan. Currently he was listening to the mission details pertaining to his, and Naruto's trip to Uzu.
"So is that acceptable for you Kensei?" The elder Sarutobi asked.
"Uhwhahh?" Kensei said clearly not paying attention. "OH! Yeah that should be fine with me Hokage-sama." He quickly replied trying to regain what little respect he had from the woman in the room who was going to be leading the escort team on their trip.
"Very well then, miss Kurenai Yuhi here will lead her squad of genin, team 8, consisting of Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, and Hinata Hyuga, along with you on your trip to Uzu Kensei." Hiruzen explained to Kensei.
"Whoa whoa whoa, slow your roll for a second.. Kiba? and Hinata?" Kensei said quickly not expecting this. "Why do you hate me so lady luck! WHY!?" Kensei said while dropping to the floor from his chair face first.
"Something wrong with my genin coming along on this mission Kensei-san?" Kurenai asked the boy, who was still on the floor cursing lady luck for this turn of events.
Picking himself back up, and plopping back into his chair he turned to Kurenai. "Um no, not really.. just kinda wasn't expecting my little brother's girl friend, and my i guess girlfriend's? little brother to be tagging along with us.. ugh.. Kiba's never going to leave me alone now... shit.." Kensei complained.
"Little brother's girlfriend? I didn't know Hinata was dating anyone... Let alone Hana?" Kurenai said slightly amused at Kensei's misfortune of having to deal with Kiba for a while with nowhere to escape to, but Hinata dating Naruto now? That was a new one to her, she was kinda saddened that Hinata hadn't told her about this yet, seeing how they were like sisters to each other.
"It's complicated, and I'd rather not waste the breath to explain it, sorry." Kensei said offhandedly.
Narrowing her eyes at the dark haired Uzumaki she was about to say something to Kensei, but was cut off by Hiruzen.
"Now now, before this gets out of hand, I'd like to finish the mission details. Now you said you'd like to go retrieve your belongings, rather sooner than later correct young Kensei?" Hiruzen asked.
"Yes, if at all possible Hokage-sama."
"Very well I shall arrange the mission to be bumped up to next monday if that is ok with you."
"That'd be great... i want my own damned bed... the couches... the couches haunt me! THEY HAUNT ME SO!" Kensei said hysterically while waving his arms about.
"Riiiight..." Kurenai said, while asking herself what did she get herself into by agreeing to take this mission.
"There, i set it all up for you, team 8 will escort you while scouting the areas around yourself and Naruto while you are on your trip. Traveling anywhere these days, one cannot be too careful while going place to place over long distances. You will be charged for a basic C-Rank escort mission that you will pay for along with your house upon your return. Speaking of your house i believe I have found one just as you have described that will suit your needs and be to your liking.
It just so happens that it is in between the shopping district of the village, and the Inuzuka Clan's compound."
"Oh fuck me running.. Tsume will surely kill me now..." Kensei said fearfully with wide eyes.
"And why would you be worried about her Kensei?" Kurenai asked plainly.
"Simple... if she ever wants to find me, and kill me... she will now I'm not very far away from her... *sniffs loudly* I don't want to die any time soon.." Kensei said dreading the thought of being woken up by an enraged Tsume in the morning.
"I'm sure you will be fine as long as you don't upset her to begin with young Kensei. Now onto the final matter before you leave Kensei. I will be holding a council meeting this afternoon pertaining to your arrival into the village, as well as who you are and such, I'd like you and Naruto to be there. Is that acceptable for you?" Hiruzen asked not really leaving any room for Kensei to complain about it.
"Fine.. as long as I'm not expected to reveal any information about my Clan's jutsu's, bloodlines, past history, and fortune, and other stuff like that." Kensei said waving his hand around lazily.
"Very well, you both are dismissed." Hiruzen said before reaching for his pen to return to his paperwork for the day.
"Thank you Hokage-sama." Both Kensei and Kurenai said at the same time bowing slightly to the older man in the room.
"Well i gotta go meet up with Naruto, and take care of something that has been needing to be taken care of for a very long time..." Kensei said to Kurenai as they were walking out of the Hokage's office.
"And what would that be?" Kurenai asked curious as to what Kensei was talking about.
"Simple... burning those god awful orange jumpsuits... If he's going to represent the Uzumaki clan as he should, seeing how him and I are the only ones left. He's going to have to look the part." Kensei said while pointing to the attire he was currently wearing.
"Ah i see. Good luck with that." Kurenai said after hearing this, and reaching the exit of the Hokage's tower. "See you around." She said turning down the pathway in the opposite direction where Kensei needed to go to get back to Naruto's apartment.
"I don't need lady luck to be on my side, I'm better off without her because she's a BITCH to me! And if he doesn't listen to me.. then I'll just simply kick his ass.." Kensei said to nobody with a devilish grin on his face, as he ventured back to the apartment in which he was going to.
With Naruto
After sparring with Sasuke for a couple of hours in several mock battles with either strictly one type of attack style, or an all out battle. Naruto made his way back to his apartment to see what Kensei wanted him there for, as mentioned in his note that he left this morning. Reaching the front door to his apartment and unlocking the door, and stepping inside he saw a daunting sight before him...
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Naruto yelled as he bee lined it to the back door where Kensei was seen with a metal trash bin, stuffed with his beloved orange jumpsuits, with a small can of lighter fluid next to him, and holding a match over the metal trash bin, on the outside porch.
Hearing Naruto's outburst, and being caught in the act, Kensei slowly turns to Naruto with a scary grin on his face with almost demonic looking eyes bored straight at Naruto.
"In the name that is just, and holy unto this world! Begone retarded fashion sense that screams! "IM GAY" to the world!" Kensei said while dropping the lit match to the trash bit while rolling away from it as the bin exploded upwards incinerating the offending orange jumpsuits of his little brother.
"Amen." Kensei said with a nod after standing back up when the explosion cleared.
"KENSEI! WHAT THE FUCK!?" Naruto screamed at his older brother. Causing the people walking the streets below to pause whatever it is they were doing to look up to see what the commotion was all about.
"I'll tell you what the fuck!" Kensei yelled back effectively shutting his little brother up. "Sit down. Inside." Kensei ordered, while pointing back into the apartment.
Going back inside the apartment, and with the two sitting on the couch Kensei started.
"Naruto." Kensei said with a serious voice. "You need to get rid of those god awful jumpsuits you are always wearing. One your too easy to notice, and way too big of a target for someone to go after if they wanted to kill you." Kensei said. Seeing how Naruto was giving him his full attention Kensei continued on.
"You need to take things more seriously now little brother. No ninja in the world wears a bright orange outfit, and that doesn't mean its not "Cool" by yours or anybodies standards, its just impractical. You need to think about this for a second, you and I are the only two Uzumaki's alive to this day. With those jumpsuits on, I can guarantee you that on your first serious mission, that I'd be the only Uzumaki left." Kensei finished.
"Your joking.. I'm sure someone else out there in the shinobi world is wearing orange just like me." Naruto said trying to defend himself.
"No there is not, and shut up, because I will not let you get your way out of this." Kensei said in a threatening voice. Quickly remembering yesterday of Kensei fighting Tsume in just taijutsu, and that massive wind style attack, Naruto wasn't about to interrupt again.
"Now, seeing how you, and I are the only Uzumaki's left. You are going to have to look the part, and I will not take no for an answer. We will represent our clan, and our clan's homeland to the world to show that our clan is not in fact dead like everyone believes. Now..." Kensei said dropping his threatening facade to that of a mischievous one. "Stand up." He said.
Naruto doing as ordered by his older brother, Naruto did so without any thought. Quickly regretting not remaining sitting down a moment later. Kensei after seeing Naruto stand up quickly grabbed Naruto by the shoulders hard with fist fulls of his jumpsuit, and quickly tore his hands away from his brothers shoulders, effectively tearing his brother's clothing away from him, leaving his little brother in nothing but his frog printed boxers.
Quickly feeling cold, and noticing he was damned near naked, Naruto quickly shot out. "WHAT THE HELL!?"
"Deal with it. Go in your room and find a t-shirt and some shorts. I'll be waiting here... and if you leave..." Kensei's face darkened, "I will kill you..."
"Y-y-yes Nii-san..." Naruto stumbled out before taking off to his room to change real quick.
After seeing Naruto disappear into his room, and forgetting to close the door, Kensei figured his scare tactics worked pretty well seeing how he can see if his brother takes off or not. After waiting a minute Naruto returns back into the living room with a pair of black shorts, and a black shirt with the Uzumaki swirl on the front in red.
"Now that's better! But you will need the right clothes to wear on missions and such. Lets go. You lead us to the nearest clothing store." Kensei ordered once again serious.
"Hai.." Naruto quickly said
Walking into the shopping district Kensei was filling Naruto in on the updated situation of their trip to Uzu, and the unfortunate turn of events that was team 8 being dragged along for the ride. Kensei also told Naruto about how the Hokage had found them the perfect house for the two, and told them that the sooner they get back from their trip, the quicker they can move in, and get all settled into their new place. Finding a clothing store that was more suited towards the shinobi, Kensei held Naruto by the shoulder, and marched him into it.
After searching for a bit around, taking note of the clothes that the seller had on the shelves and racks, Kensei approached the guy behind the counter.
"Good morning, I was wondering if you did custom made clothing?" Kensei asked the man.
"Yes we do. Was there something in particular that you were wanting young man?" The man behind the counter asked the oddly dressed shinobi in his store.
"Great. Naruto come here." Kensei ordered, Naruto looking at a few shirts on a rack near by quickly abandoned looking at the shirts, and made his way over to his older brother.
"And who let you in de..?" The man behind the counter started to ask.
Kensei quickly realizing that the man had an issue with Naruto quickly turned to the man with a death glare filled with blood lust, that would of made the Hokage shit himself.
"I.. did... Is there a problem with that.. sir?" Kensei spoke dangerously. "Seeing how he is my little brother, you would do well to remember that I will not tolerated people treating him poorly. Do you.. understand?" Kensei finished with his eyes still born into the man behind the counters skull.
"N-n-no.. there's n-n-o problem... and i-i-i do understand... just p-please d-d-don't kill m-me.." The man stuttered out.
"Good.." Kensei said releasing his glare, and letting off on the blood lust that was rolling off of him in waves of red that pulsated from his body.
"I'd like you to custom make an exact replica of my outfit that I am wearing now. Same crests, same design, same colors. I'd like 4 sets for myself, and 5 sets for my little brother in his size. Can you do that for me... sir?" Kensei said the last part once again glaring dangerously at the man.
"Y-yes o-of course. I just need to take both of your measurements real quick, and I should be able to have all of them done by 3pm or so today. I just need to dye the vests the same color grey as the one you have on now, and make the crests and put them on.. the rest of the outfits i have in stock.." The man quickly shot out.
"You have my thanks. Now how much will this be?" Kensei asked oddly enough with a happy smile on his face.
After Naruto got his measurements taken, and Kensei paid for the sets of clothing. How Kensei did, Naruto didn't know but he paid for them non the less. The pair of Uzumaki boys left the shop to take care of Kensei's other "Order of business" that he mentioned to Naruto while looking for a clothing store from the apartment.
After being told to head to the nearest park with some shade by Kensei. The two found themselves at a local public park with a large playground filled with young children playing on the play equipment, and having a good time. Taking his older brother's lead after arriving to the park, Naruto followed his brother to a near by shaded area under a large oak tree, and sat down.
"Now Naruto. We have started the first part of making you a true Uzumaki." Kensei said.
"What do you mean a true Uzumaki? I already am one?" Naruto questioned.
"No, not yet you are not. Right now, you are still just some 13 year old blonde haired genin, who used to dress like a walking traffic cone, and ran around yelling to anyone who would listen to him, and claimed to be an Uzumaki." Kensei said confusing Naruto.
"I still don't get what you are trying to get at?" Naruto said simply.
"Simple little brother. One, you do not look the part to be apart of our clan, and two, you do not act like one that is apart of our clan. While i may not be the perfect example of how the people of our clan acted, I know enough to teach you to be as you should. I just act the way i do because i know i can get away with just about anything usually... most of the time..." Kensei faltered, trying to remain on topic.
"What you need to understand is simple. You need to learn etiquette. Your girlfriend is from a highly noble clan here in Konoha, if you show up at her clan's compound tonight acting like a moron, and being disrespectful to everyone, its a sure fire way to get yourself killed, or in the best case senario where no bodily harm is brought onto your person, driven away from Hinata which I'm sure you don't want to happen." Kensei explained.
Naruto just nodded his head slowly understanding what his brother was saying.
"It's not fun to have to be all uptight, and polite to everyone around you, but it is something that needs to be done. We can't come across as two complete jackasses who don't give a shit about what anyone says or thinks about himself. That's my thing, and one of us needs to be normal here.. and i don't wanna do it. I SAID I DUN WANNA!" Kensei yelled causing Naruto to sweat drop.
"For the next couple of hours or so I am going to teach you how to speak to people appropriately, and teach you the ways of showing proper respect to those around you. Don't argue, just sit, listen, and remember everything. I can almost guarantee you that if you do this. Hinata's father will in fact "NOT" kill you tonight when you go over to the Hyuga compound to pick Hinata up." Kensei said with a small smirk on his face.
"You really think he won't kill me tonight if I am able to learn all of this?" Naruto asked unsure if Kensei was being serious or not.
"Yes I know so little brother." Kensei said trying to make Naruto understand that this is not just about him living another day after his first date with his girlfriend, but about their clans image they need to rebuild.
"Just remember, this isn't just about you when you are learning this Naruto, this isn't just for you to use so you do not get killed tonight, but you will need to remember this for whenever speaking to anybody.. and i mean ANYBODY!" Pausing for a second so Naruto understands how serious he is about this. "You and I are tasked with rebuilding out clan's image, as well as the clan itself. And it has to be up to par with what our clan's image once was. Respected above all others, knowledgeable, and most of all... feared..." Kensei finished, taking in Naruto's facial expression, and body language, he smirked and thought to himself. "Now he is ready." After seeing Naruto's look of determination on his face.
"I will make our clan proud Kensei-nii." Naruto said with a fire of determination in his cobalt blue eyes.
And so the task of un-idiot-ify-ing Naruto started.. leaving the two Uzumaki's under the nice cool shade, that the large oak tree provided. Kensei pounded everything he could remember of etiquette into his younger brother for the betterment of themselves, and their clan as a whole. One this Kensei quickly realized was.. "This is going to take for fucking ever!" groaning to himself upon figuring out that Naruto was not in fact a quick learner when it came down to learning by words..
Inuzuka Compound
The Inuzuka compound was peaceful this afternoon, the puppies were all yipping happily at each other while chasing each other around inside of their pens, the birds were chirping, and singing their joyous songs of the warm summer day up in various trees around the complex, and other small wild life that ran about the compound were scampering about, carrying on with their lives. The compound was finally back to what it once was before yesterdays events had been brought about. All was peaceful, and calm as time lazily seemed to pass by just as the clouds do in the mid summer...
"WHAT THE HELL MOM!?"
A scream rang out from inside the main building of the Inuzuka clan compound. Effectively destroying everything that nature had tried to do to calm the area that was known as the Inuzuka compound, as the clan's ninken, and puppies all started barking wildly, and howling occasionally, while the ninken's owners were all yelling at each other, and the dogs to make them all shut up... yeah lady luck was not on the Inuzuka's side today it seems..
Moments before the peace was destroyed Hana, and her mother Tsume were talking about a certain black haired Uzumaki boy, who had made quite the impression on the Inuzuka matriarch.
"Hana, lower your voice. Now why are you so riled up over something so simple as birth control?" Tsume said point blank.
"I'm getting riled up, MOM! because there is no point in it! I haven't even mated yet, let alone even thought about mating with Kensei. So quite badgering me about it!" Hana said as she huffed, and crossed her arms in front of her well endowed C-cup breasts pushing them up slightly, causing them to peek out more than usual from under her Chuunin vest.
"And that right there is why you need to be on it Hana!" Tsume said pointing at her daughters chest. "You may not know what you are doing, or how it will affect near by males, but by doing that you can give off the wrong signals to the wrong people! If someone were to take advantage of you and..." Tsume was cut off before she could say the next part.
"I'm not going to be raped mom." Hana said with a serious tone that had covered up most of her nervousness of the topic at hand. It was fairly rare for an Inuzuka female to be raped by a male thinking he was an alpha, but it did happen from time to time. Enough times to put all of the females on edge, and start taking birth control for safe measures.
"But you don't know that! Just by crossing your arms like that, can give a horny male the wrong idea, and force you to do something that you don't want to happen. I just want you to start taking it now so that if anything like that does happen, or you and Kensei start mating, that i don't end up with grandchildren at such an early age." Tsume said finally getting her point across.
"Fine... I'll take the stupid birth control..." Hana said reluctantly, still not seeing the point in it. In her mind, Kensei and her were far from ever having sex, they just met yesterday for crying out loud! so it shouldn't matter...
"Good. Now i want you to come with me to the council meeting that has been called for the clan heads by the Hokage." Tsume said switching gears.
"What? Why would I go to the clan head meeting? Yeah I'm the heiress, but shouldn't i be excluded from something like that?" Hana said clearly confused as to why she was asked to go with her mother.
"Well i just thought you'd like to go to the meeting seeing how your boyfriend is the topic at hand, and will be there at the meeting. Weren't you two going to do something together later this afternoon?" Tsume asked
"Uh... yeah.. why is Kensei apart of the meeting?" Hana questioned back.
"My guess would be for a formal introduction to the village to the clan heads, so that his appearance, and name are known to the villagers, and shinobi alike. Seeing how he dresses slightly different, it's probably a good thing. I mean my first thought of him talking to you the other day was that he was an enemy shinobi that could of been about to kill you or something." Tsume said.
"I guess i see your point mom. When's the meeting?" Hana asked.
"It's in twenty minutes, so get ready."
"Yes mom." Hana said with a sigh.
With Naruto
Hamming in etiquette into his younger brothers head was a lot harder than Kensei had originally thought. After three hours or so, a lot of yelling, four fist fights, a game of enie, meanie, miney, moe, chasing a garbage truck driven by the incredible hulk, and a stamped of rabid fan girls who had found Sasuke hiding out in a set of bushes near his apartment as he ran by the two Uzumaki boys, Kensei was finally about to wrap things up as Naruto was finally understanding it all. Well to a degree, but he was getting it non the less.. its all one could ask for when teaching an incredibly dull subject to your ADHD younger brother.
"And that is how you determine whether how far you bow to a person you are either beginning or finishing up a conversation with. Remember the more important the person, such as how influential they are, or their standing in a village, the lower the bow." Kensei said finally finishing up his long winded speech.
"Alright i get it now i think." Naruto said while rubbing his temples with his index fingers trying to sooth the headache that was pounding through his head.
"Good. Now try, and remember all of that for tonight, and tomorrow if we get the chance I will go back over it with you if you do not remember." Kensei said.
"Hey Naruto? what time is it?" Kensei asked
"Um almost 3pm, why?" Naruto asked
"Well because our clothes should be done any time now. I want you dressed in your new outfit for tonight, and on wards. Got it?" Kensei ordered.
"Yes nii-san" Naruto said while he bowed lowly at Kensei just to aggravate him.
"Hoh? Already putting to use our manners are we? Very well then.. make sure to keep those on the front of your mind as we go and pick up our clothes." Kensei said to his little brother.
"Ahh... damn... why do i have to use them now?" Naruto whined.
"Cuz you suck. haha, you need to get used to acting politely." Pausing for a moment so he can finally get what he really wanted to start doing soon. "Just so you know Naruto-otouto, the next part of being a true Uzumaki, is know how to fight like one, and learn our families jutsu's..." Kensei said with a giant smirk on his face, knowing that Naruto will go bat shit crazy at the thought of learning let alone any jutsu, but his families jutsu's.. oh man Kensei was sure Naruto was going to get a 3/4 chub off of hearing that one.
"REALLY!? WHEN CAN WE START! OH MAN I'M GOING TO BE SO KICK ASS, ALMOST AS BAD ASS AS YOU NII-SAN! I CAN'T WAIT!" Naruto said while jumping up and down clapping his hands like a little school girl.
"As soon as you are far enough along on your training in etiquette, and do well with it, and look the part of an Uzumaki, and well.. not get killed tonight..." Kensei paused trying to make sure his little brother understands his conditions, "If you manage to do those, then i will train you in our clan's ways when we are in Uzu, but only once we are in our clan's secret vault I will tell you about the our clan's secret jutsu's and secrets such as.." Kensei rubbed his hands together knowing this will set Naruto over the edge. "Our families Kekke Genkai." Kensei finished knowing that Naruto couldn't resist having to wait any longer.
"YOU GOT YOURSELF A DEAL NII-SAN!" Naruto yelled once more.
"Ok ok ok calm down spazz.. Lets just go get our damn clothes already." Kensei said as he stood up, and began walking away from the large oak tree they had been sitting under, towards the shopping district once more to retrieve their clothes. Naruto quickly realizing that he was behind, ran towards his brother, back to the store they had bought their clothes from.
Arriving at the clothing shop they quickly noticed a few more customers in the shop purchasing clothing from the same man they had bought there's from. Quickly noticing the two Uzumaki boy's walk in the people in the store all stopped what they were doing, except for the man behind the counter, and either glared at Naruto or grumbled under their breath about, "Damned demons" or "Kyuubi brat."
Naruto being somewhat used to the treatment turns his head to his older brother with a sad smile on his face, trying to brave this situation out until they managed to get their clothes and left the store of hateful villagers. But Naruto noticed something off about Kensei, he was tensed up.. all of his muscles that were exposed from his cut off shirt were all flexed bulging out slightly with a vein popping out and running down his brothers left shoulder muscle to his bicep. Gulping at the prospect of his older brother pissed off Naruto backed away from Kensei slightly.
"Excuse me?" Kensei said darkly to the people in the store who were shooting glares at Naruto. "Care to repeat that for me?"
"I don't see why any of us should." A random man who was in his mid twenties, and obviously was a shinobi said, narrowing his eyes at Kensei.
"I think you should let me know exactly what you were just saying." Kensei said walking forward to the man who spoke to him.
"Alright fine mr. tough guy. I was saying that damned demon shouldn't be let anywhere near the human populace of this village. That good enough for you, or do I need to say it louder... little boy.." The man said while walking towards Kensei's approaching figure.
"Well now that "IS" unfortunate for you dick weed, because that "Demon" as you so kindly called him, is my little brother..." Kensei said arriving face to face with the man. "And I don't like people treating him like shit."
"Is that so?" The man chuckled. "And just what are you going to do about it you little dark haired shit stain?" The man said to Kensei's face.
Naruto really not liking where this was going silently crept over to the counter where the man who got their clothes for them was at looking on at the scene playing out in his store in fear of a fight breaking out.
"I'm sorry about this Shopkeeper-San. We really don't want any trouble, we just would like our clothes, and we will be on our way." Naruto said to the business owner trying to use his newly educated mind, hopeful that it will help in some way.
"O-oh! Right, lemme go grab them real quick... and please Naruto-San... don't let them wreck my store while I'm away for a moment." The shopkeeper said, hopeful that his store would be in tact when he returned from grabbing their clothes from the back room.
With the shopkeeper in the backroom Naruto looked back to Kensei and the man who was mere inches away from his brother's face as they talked back to one another.
"And I told you I will say whatever the hell i want about that damned demon child over there, and nothing you say or do will stop me. I'm a jounin of this village for a damned good reason little boy." The man shot out trying to intimidate Kensei.
Kensei looking around to see if anyone else in the small clothing store who offended him by talking down to his brother in whispers, was wanting to get in on this little charade of idiocy. Seeing no one else Kensei quickly smirked at the man in front of him.
"Nothing I say or do will change your mind eh?" Kensei questioned point blank to the man.
"That's right, now beat it before I tear you limb from limb!"
"Oh that's too bad... BECAUSE I'M GOING TO FUCK YOU UP!" Kensei shouted as he flashed through a couple hand signs. "Uzumaki Arts: Chakra Coil Destruction Seal!" Kensei once again shouted as he threw his open right palm that was glowing red at the man's stomach.
Clearly not thinking the black haired boy in front of him was really going to follow through on his threat, and thinking that if the boy did attack him, that the attack would be of no consequence to himself, and wouldn't hurt him at all. The supposed Konoha Jounin was unprepared for the on coming.. and until he saw Kensei's open palm glowing red, he knew that it was going to be the opposite of what he was thinking..
Slamming his open palm into the man's stomach, the man quickly dropped to his knee's clutching at his stomach in sever pain.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!?" The man screamed as he tried to concentrate on figuring out what the attack had done to him. Looking up at the still clearly pissed off boy in front of him, who's once soul piercing bright blue eyes were now glowing blood red directed straight at his downed form.
"What... you didn't hear what I did to you? You must be retarded or something.. some Jounin you are.. I simply put a seal on you." Kensei said to the kneeling man before him.
"My chakra! why can't i mold my chakra you little fucker!" The man yelled back at Kensei.
"That's because the seal i placed on your stomach over your core will kill off any chakra you are trying to mold you ass.. The more chakra you try and force out, the less you can mold, effectively ending your shinobi career." Kensei finished still looking menacing as ever.
"B-b-but that's not possible! No seal could ever do that!?"
"Ooooooh yes there are... you'd be surprised at the other lovely things i could of done to you with the other seals i know." Kensei said kneeling down to the man before him.
"If you ever... and i mean EVER! TALK ABOUT MY LITTLE BROTHER IN SUCH A WAY AGAIN! I.. WILL.. KILL YOU.." Kensei threatened the man. "And that goes for all of you too!" He pointed out to the other retards in the store. "GOT IT!?" Seeing the others in the store nod their heads in agreement Kensei walked away from the downed man and over to his little brother.
"Sorry about that Naruto.. You know i have to look out for you as your older brother right?" Kensei said while putting a hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"Yeah i know.." Pausing for a second recalling what his brother had just done to the Jounin still kneeling on the floor pissed off that he couldn't do anything to Kensei for what he had done. "Did you really kill off that guy's chakra forever?" Naruto asked Kensei.
"I sure as hell did.. He's lucky that is all i did to him too... Nobody talks shit about my little brother... nobody.." Kensei finished with a dark tone to his voice.
"I-i-is it o-over? Is i-it safe to come out now?" The shopkeeper said peeking around the corner of the door leading to the back.
"Yeah everything is fine, sorry about that." Kensei said apologizing for causing a scene in the man's store.
"Well, seeing how my store is still in tact, you have my gratitude for that. Here are your clothes boys." The shopkeeper said quickly.
"Thank you very much Shopkeeper-San." Naruto said with a small bow.
"Yes thank you." Kensei said simply.
"Your very welcome."
"If you wouldn't mind, would it be alright if we came here for any other clothes we may need in the future?" Pausing for a moment. "I'd rather not have to do that," Pointing to the now standing Jounin who was obviously still in pain holding his stomach. "every time we go to a store." Kensei said pleading his case.
"Yes that would be quite alright with me. I could always use good loyal customers." The shopkeeper said
"Well thank you again mister." Kensei said while grabbing the bags of clothing they had purchased.
Heading out the door of the shop the two were met by an anbu agent who apparently had a message for them.
"Uzumaki-san, yourself and your little brother have been requested by the Hokage to appear before the council in 15 minutes." The anbu spoke to the pair of Uzumaki boys.
"Very well thank you anbu-san. We shall be there for the meeting." Kensei said, while Naruto bowed slightly to the anbu before he shunshin'd back to wherever he was prior to relaying his message he was ordered to give.
"Well lets get back to the apartment quickly so you can change, and we will head to the meeting. Remember everything i hounded you about in proper manners Naruto, you will need them very soon." Kensei said. "By the way your starting to get good at them. Keep it up."
"Thanks Kensei-nii." Naruto said with a smile on his face, happy with the praise of his older brother.
Hokage's Tower Council Room of DOOM!
After racing back to the apartment and Naruto getting changed quickly the two Uzumaki boy's made their way to the Hokage's tower for the meeting, trying to figure out if this will take long or not. Seeing how the two had made plans prior to go out with their respected girlfriends.
"I sure hope I'm not late... I don't want Hinata-chan's dad killing me for being late, rather than killing me for well.. whatever it is he is going to kill me for.." Naruto said with anime tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Oh put a crab in it blondie, you will be fine. Remember. You have an image to uphold now, a noble and powerful image to uphold. While you may not be overly powerful now, your image has to be that of one that is. Now get over it and lets get on with this.. shesh.." Kensei said trying to comfort and shut his brother up.
Arriving at the secretaries desk in the Hokage's office Kensei spoke to the lady at the desk telling her they were summoned for the council meeting.
"Ah yes, they have already begun a few minutes ago. Head up the stairs and take the second door on the right. Be sure to knock, and show proper respect to all in the room." The lady said while glancing at Naruto.
"You have my thanks." Kensei said simply bowing slightly. Following his brother's lead Naruto did the same before tailing his brother up the stairs to the meeting.
Arriving at the door Kensei knocked twice on the door waiting for permission to enter. "*Sigh* I really hate council meetings... they are soooo boring.. blah..."
"I wouldn't know.. this will be my first..." Naruto said quietly.
"True. But don't worry about it. All we need to do is answer some simple questions, and get the hell out of here." Kensei said stopping any further talking hearing permission to enter. Leading the way Kensei opened the door slowly and entered the room with Naruto following closely behind.
Once in the room Naruto, and Kensei quickly went over in their minds the people who were in the room that were all sitting around a large round table. Taking note of each perspective clan leader, and the three village advisers to the Hokage sitting next to Hokage himself. Looking around the room again Kensei quickly saw Tsume sitting on the left side of the table eying him, in between a man with long blonde hair tied into a pony tail who Kensei remembered as Inoichi, the guy that mind raped him when he first arrived to Konoha Kensei quickly. As well as Hana who was giving him a soft cute smile, sitting slightly behind and to the right of her mother. As he looked for the place he and Naruto was supposed to sit he spotted two open chairs, unfortunately for him which were right across from Tsume. Sure of the fact that is where him and Naruto were expected to sit Kensei went over to the chair that was more directly in front of Hana, rather than Tsume and stood behind it waiting to be told to sit.
"Small victories Kensei.. small victories.." Kensei muttered under his breath thankful he didn't have to look at Tsume completely the whole time the meeting dragged on.
"Ah Naruto-kun, Kensei-kun, So glad you could join us. You may sit down." Hiruzen said with a smile.
"Thank you Hokage-sama." Naruto, and Kensei said at the same time while bowing deeply to the Hokage, effectively making all of the clan heads raise an eyebrow at Naruto being polite, and not outspoken, and calling the Hokage "Old man." As well as his current outfit matching Kensei's down to every little detail except that Naruto was wearing a black t-shirt rather than a cut off v-neck muscle shirt like his older brother.
"Now I have called this meeting between the clan heads so that they may be made aware of your arrival, as well as who you are and such. Please introduce yourself to everyone Kensei." Hiruzen said
Nodding his head to the Hokage, Kensei stood up from his chair bowing once more. "My name is Kensei Uzumaki, please to meet you all." Kensei replied to all in the room.
"Thank you Kensei you may sit down again, now that you have properly introduced yourself, the clan heads will all do the same to you, so you may know who each of them are and the clan's they lead. Lets start with you Hiashi-san." Hiruzen said giving the floor to the Hyuga patriarch.
"I am Hiashi Hyuga, leader of the noble Hyuga clan here in Konoha, pleased to meet you young Uzumaki-san." Hiashi said while looking over at the two Uzumaki boys, but was really looking towards Naruto with a small smirk on his face, seeing Naruto with wide eyes starting right back at him.
"Now let us continue with the introductions. Choza, if you would." Hiruzen said.
So the introductions went around the table before they got through all of the clan heads, but stopped at the last and final village elder.
"I am the last of the village elders to be introduced, I am Danzou Shimura, sole survivor of the Shimura clan." Danzou said simply narrowing his lone exposed black pupil at the black haired teen.
"Thank you everyone, now Kensei-kun, some of the clan heads are curious about a few things, and would like you to explain a little further on them if you wouldn't mind." Hiruzen said to the young boy.
"That will be fine Hokage-sama." Kensei answered.
Danzou was the first to come out of the gates with a question towards the teen, "You are claiming to be a true blooded Uzumaki is that correct?"
"Yes I am, what is so hard to believe about that?" Kensei asked clearly not liking being accused of him lying about his heritage.
"And how do you intend on proving this young Kensei?" Danzou questioned further.
"Well that's simple really. One i say so, and two just ask that random Jounin, who i took down at the local shinobi clothing store with just one of my clan's sealing techniques." Kensei said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"You do know that it is illegal to.." Danzou was cut off by the Hokage before the meeting was turned into an interrogation session.
"Now now danzou, I am positive young Kensei has a very good reason as to why he acted in such a manor." Turning to Kensei. "Isn't that so Kensei-kun?"
"Yes Hokage-sama, The man, and around 6 other people within the store were all glaring at my younger brother in a hate filled way, while muttering things such as "demon," and "kyuubi brat." I won't stand for such things to be said about Naruto, so i took the appropriate actions to make sure that they do not say or do stupid things while I am around. I do however apologize for ruining one of your Jounin's shinobi career though, he really just managed to get under my skin, and wouldn't back down from me." Kensei explained to everyone.
"And how did you manage to end a seasoned Jounin's shinobi career, if you don't mind me asked you?" Hiashi asked putting in his thoughts on the conversation.
"I put an Uzumaki, chakra destroying seal on his core." Kensei shrugged as if it was child splay to do such a thing.
"You destroyed his chakra network?" Hiashi said stunned that Kensei managed to do something his clan has yet to do, even with their superior doujutsu and Juken taijutsu.
"Yep, pretty simple for me really, any thing else?" Kensei said trying to move the conversation to the end so that he can leave.
Meanwhile Hana was just staring at Kensei amazed that he not only bested her mom in a fight, but ended a seasoned Jounin's career in just two days time. Leaning forward to her mom she whispered.
"Mom, just how powerful were the Uzumaki's when they were all still alive?" She asked.
Tsume hearing her daughters question moved her heard back to her daughter and responded to her eldest in a whisper.
"They were the most feared for a reason, thus why it took 3 large nations, and some smaller ones to destroy them, and their homelands Hana." Tsume responded seriously thinking of the prospect of what the shinobi world would be like with the Uzumaki's still around. Not hearing any more questions from her daughter Tsume resumed her attention to the meeting at hand.
"Yes Kensei there is. The clan heads would like to know why you say that you are Naruto's older brother. Can you explain to them how this is?" Hiruzen asked.
"Sure, When Naruto, and I's parents died we were separated. Myself being found by a couple near the ruins of Uzu, and Naruto taken to the orphanage here. Seeing how we are brothers, and both Uzumaki's, and myself being the oldest, and heir to the Uzumaki clan. Myself and Naruto plan on rebuilding our once great clan, with honor, and respect." Kensei said hopeful that he spewed enough shit out of his mouth to seize the questions of the council in the room.
Shikaku, Shikamaru's father as well as Hiashi was skeptical at what the boy said, and were about to bring up their questions about the topic, but Shikaku beat Hiashi to the punch. Thinking he will wait until later tonight to question Naruto, he just let Shikaku get whatever it was he was going to ask first.
"Naruto is this true? Is he really your brother?" Shikaku asked skeptical, and thinking logically as ever.
"Yes Nara-sama, Kensei-nii, and I are true brothers, we are having a blood test to confirm it here pretty soon." Naruto lied smoothly to play along with Kensei's story.
"Good enough for me, if Naruto believes it, then I see no reason why to deny him the chance at having whoever he wants to call family." He said ending his question, but still ever skeptical over the whole thing. Thinking it was just too troublesome to talk anymore about it.
Meanwhile Danzou remained silent. Knowing that Naruto was an only child from his birth, he played around with the thoughts of how Kensei was a true blooded Uzumaki. All of them were destroyed right? So the next logical thing that was coming to him was that Kensei was a lost cousin of a survivor of the attack on Uzu, and had managed to locate the boy. Telling himself to investigate this matter later, and to think of a plan to persuade Kensei into joining his root program, he thought the boy would be a great asset to his shinobi forces once persuaded. A young 16 year old, able to disable, and cripple a seasoned Jounin with just one seal? Along with the closeness of the boy to the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki made the benefits of him joining too great to pass up. With those thoughts dancing through his mind Danzou remained ever aware of the meeting before him once again.
"Very well that should be all for now, I will make a formal introduction to the people of the village so that they may know who Kensei is, and his relationship to Naruto, as well as how he will act if anyone speaks badly about his little brother." Hiruzen said with a smile, trying to end the council meeting before too much information on Kensei and Naruto start going out of the window, and made public. "Now is there anything else you'd like to add to this meeting Kensei before I dismiss everyone?" Hiruzen asked
"No Hokage-sama. I'm good." Kensei replied simply.
"Alright then. Everyone you are dismissed." Hiruzen said with finality.
As the room was dispersing, Hana separated from her mom after talking to her for a few seconds, and made her way over to Kensei.
"Kensei." Hana said closing in on the distance between the two. "You did surprisingly well considering you seemed half asleep the whole time." Hana said while giggling after speaking.
"Yeah" scratching the back of his head before finishing what he was going to say. "Meetings of any kind are not my thing ha ha..." Kensei said
"I could see that." Hana said with a smile on her face.
"Well seeing that your here, and so am I... you wanna give me that tour of the village, and get some dinner with me afterwards before it gets too late lovely lady?" Kensei said with a genuine smile on his face to the girl in front of him.
"I'd like that." Hana said before walking next to Kensei, and taking hold of his right hand with her left. "Lets go." She said as she lead Kensei out of the Hokage's tower.
"Who said you could hold my hand?" Kensei said teasingly not forgetting about how she bested him last night into the holding hands thing.
"I did, now shut up and lets go." Hana said as she tugged on Kensei to keep up with her.
Meanwhile Naruto was having a conversation of different kind, which was not as happy as Kensei and Hana's. After the Hokage dismissed everyone in the room Hiashi walked over to him.
"So you will be at the compound in an hour or so to pick up my daughter Hinata, Is that correct Uzumaki-san?" Hiashi questioned Naruto.
"Y-y-yes Hyuga-sama. That is correct." Naruto said while shaking like a leaf.
"Very good. I'm sure my daughter has already told you, but i wish to speak with you before you, and her depart for your date tonight." Hiashi said clearly amused by how nervous Naruto was acting, seeing how he was perfectly polite and reserved during the meeting, but now the boy was terrified.
"Yes she has Hyuga-sama, and I will be there early so that we may speak together." Naruto said trying to keep his nerves in check.
"Very well, i wish to see you there in 45 minutes." Hiashi said before turning, and leaving the council room.
"Holy hell... I don't know how much more of this stick up the ass politeness I can take before I snap..." Naruto said under his breath, as he followed Hiashi out of the room.
With Kensei
As Kensei and Hana were walking around the village, Hana was pointing out the tourist sights, and attractions, that everyone who didn't live there would go to, such as the Hokage monument, and the other clan's compounds, chatting away with Kensei as they made their way along the streets. As they were making their way hand in hand through the shopping district Kensei told Hana to take the next left after they passed by a very packed restaurant with a huge waiting line to get a table that lead out of the door. Taking the left turn as told by Kensei, the two made their was down the street of houses. Confused as to why they were walking down the street Hana spoke up.
"Why did you want to take this street Kensei-kun?" Hana asked.
"Well, the house I'm buying for Naruto and myself, should be coming up here on the right in a couple houses." Kensei explained to his supposed girlfriend.
"Your buying a house? How exciting, and it's close by my clan's compound too." Hana said happy that Kensei wouldn't be too far away whenever they met up.
"Yeah I'll just be happy to have my own bed again, and my own room." Kensei said with a smile.
"Your sleeping on a couch now aren't you?" Hana said thinking nothing of it.
"THE COUCHES! WHY DO THEY HATE ME SOO! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO.." Quickly seeing her boyfriend freak out Hana let go of Kensei hand, and slapped him across the face lightly but hard enough to break him out of his ranting.
"Ow... why did you slap me Hana-chan?" Kensei said rubbing his stinging cheek.
"You were freaking out and I didn't know what else to do to make you stop." Hana said amused at what her boyfriend was freaking out about.
"Oh.. sorry about that.. It's just couches and me really don't get along with each other..." Kensei said with his head down.
"You know its unhealthy to have such a hateful relationship with inanimate objects right?" Hana said with a smirk on her beautiful face.
Kensei just shrugged his shoulders, "I guess so. Never really thought about it that way." Kensei said simply. Reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small piece of paper with an address written down on it that he had gotten from the Hokage earlier this morning, he read it and memorized it he stuck it back in his pocket looking for the matching address on the house that he was buying. Seeing the house he stopped in front of the sidewalk leading to the porch.
"Holy..." Kensei started
"Shit..." Hana finished for him.
Seeing the house that the Hokage picked out for him caused both teen's mouths to drop at the sight before them. Reaching into his pocket once more he had to double check the piece of paper to see if it was the correct address and upon re-reading it, it was.
"This can't be the place... its.. too nice?" Kensei said.
"Well lets go check out the place." Hana said grabbing a hold of Kensei's hand once more dragging him along the pathway leading to the house. After walking around the place and seeing that it was still locked up with no way inside the couple took in the sights of the house. It was a very large three bedroom, two bath house, with a large back yard, and two stories tall. Plenty of space in the living room as far as they could tell from peeking into the largest window. All in all the place was very nice, and from the outside it had a very welcoming feel to it. It seemed perfect to Kensei.
"It's a very lovely house, don't you think Kensei-kun?" Hana asked.
"Yeah, but not nearly as lovely as yourself." Kensei smoothly said with a small smirk on his face.
"That was so corny, but thank you." Hana said before she kissed Kensei on the cheek once again. Effectively stunning the older Uzumaki brother.
Seeing that Kensei went ridged for a moment she spoke up again, "Whats wrong Kensei-kun?"
Still holding Hana's hand he walked her over to the front steps of the house and sat down, indicating to Hana that he wanted her to sit down as well.
"Well.. nothing is wrong really. I just wanted to talk with you. Not like casual talking like we have been doing, but like talk talk, ya know?" Kensei said trying to get what he was thinking into words.
"Ok then, what did you want to talk about?" Hana said with a smile on her face.
"Well i kinda know the basics about you. But i want to get to know the real Hana, the things that make you tick, what makes you happy, and what makes you sad, stuff like that. And I will tell you about myself in the same way... I don't know really what I'm saying so I'll go first." Kensei said with his arms extended backwards supporting his weight on the porch.
"There is a lot you don't know about me, that much is obvious. But i feel like you should know the real me, and not what everyone see's on the outside." Kensei went on.
"Ok, I'd like to know the real Kensei Uzumaki very much, if he is anything like the Kensei that I know so far, I'm sure ill like the other you even more." Hana said with a smile still on her face.
"*sigh* ok, well as you know I was separated from Naruto when i was three years old, I guess i can start there. I was raised in what used to be Uzu by a nice older couple that found me. After getting to the age of 15, i was told that I had a little brother that was with me when i was found. I was only told this when the lady that found me was on her deathbed, she couldn't tell me a description of Naruto because she passed away before being able to do so." Kensei sighed once more after finishing. Lying to Hana was the last thing he really wanted to do but seeing how he is taking on his role as Naruto's older brother seriously, and very few people knew that in fact he wasn't made it to where he would have to have a back story of some sorts like this anyways.
"Anyways, after being told that Naruto would be here in some sort of stupid riddle, i managed to get taken hostage by Naruto's sensei, and brought here. I wasn't made aware that Naruto was in fact my younger brother until i was released from custody. Being with Naruto makes me happy. Happier than I have been in a long time, and seeing people here treat him like he is garbage makes me sick and boil over in rage... I may be loud and obnoxious at times, but i really just want what is best for my little brother seeing i wasn't around for the first 13 years of his life." Kensei said in a voice willed with emotions that rolled off of every word he spoke.
Hana listening ever diligently waited for Kensei to finish his story about himself, and was genuinely interested in what Kensei was saying. Leaning over on her side she laid her head on Kensei's left shoulder as he spoke with her eyes closed listening to every word the boy next to her spoke.
"When you asked me what was wrong when you kissed me on the cheek, i really meant nothing was wrong. I... I've never been kissed before, nor have I even dated a girl before in my life. My life has been... complicated I guess you can say. I never really had an opportunity to even look for the right girl I'd want to be with. I always saw dating in more of an old fashioned way i guess you could say. I couldn't date anyone unless I can see myself being with the for a long long time. I guess that's my Uzukami blood for you." Kensei said chuckling "Always loyal to the end.. that's just how my people were." Kensei said with a sad smile.
"Your clan sounds a lot like mine in that retrospect Kensei-kun, we see loyalty as a means of respect towards one an other, it's what makes us Inuzuka such a close family I guess. As you said as far as dating, the females in the Inuzuka clan usually don't date more than one man in their life. Giving their loyalty and being forever faithful to their mate is what makes the relationship flourish and grow, creating a bond unlike any other. Or at least I've been told so. Pretty old fashioned if you think about it." Hana said with a smile with her eyes still closed, and her head still on Kensei's shoulder.
Thinking at what Hana had said Kensei quickly realized something.
"WHAT!?" Kensei shouted causing Hana to open her eyes, and take her head off of his shoulder and look at Kensei strangely.
"Something wrong Kensei-kun?" Hana asked clearly confused as to what that outburst was about.
"Y-y-you s-s-said... y-you said.. females in the Inuzuka clan only date one man in their life?!" Kensei said tripping over his words.
"Yes I did, what of it?" Hana said raising an eye brow.
"But... but.. but... oh Kami please take me into that bright yellow lighted portal of doom once more! please!" Kensei said in a panic.
"What are you freaking about now Kensei?" Hana said dropping the suffix on his name.
"If you only date one man in your life... and your dating me now... that means... means... m-m-m-m..." Kensei muttered out the last part under his breath.
"Marriage." Hana finished for him not seeing what the problem is in the word.
"But! ugh... That means you want to marry me? what the hell?" Kensei said confused, and somewhat interested at what Hana's answer would be.
"I don't know Kensei shesh.. I just met you yesterday.. don't you think it's a little too early for that?" Hana said sort of amused at how Kensei was acting now.
"WELL YEAH! IT"S MARRIAGE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!" Kensei shouted but was shushed by Hana.
"Geez you want everyone to hear what we are talking about... we don't need rumors flying around now do we?" Seeing Kensei violently shake his head no she continued. "What i will say is that by you beating my mom yesterday, she see's you as a true alpha. One who will always put his family before his own needs and desires, protecting his home and his loved ones with everything he has. That in itself is a quality i am looking for in my mate, and you so happen to have that one. You also are pretty cute too so that helps too." Hana winked at him. "Like said about your clan's ways of loyalty, the Inuzuka's look for loyalty above everything else, especially when finding a mate outside of the clan. Usually the Heiress of the clan is obligated to only find a mate within the clan, but I have decided to give up my title as Heiress, and let my brother take on the role of heir to the clan when he turns 16. I really just want to become a vet to the village and take care of my clan's puppies and other animals that are brought to me." Hana said with a smile. "Seeing that you are like myself in terms of loyalty, you have another point in my book." Hana said thinking about what to say next. "Lets just see where this goes ok? I really don't want to get married any time soon, so you shouldn't worry about it, I like you, and you like me right?" Hana said waiting for Kensei's answer, seeing him nod his head yes she continued, "Then lets just have fun, and enjoy the time together we can get, and if the time comes when we are older, then we will think about marriage ok Kensei-kun?" Hana said ending her mouthful of emotions.
"I can do that. Like i said earlier.. I'm new to the whole dating thing.. and while i like you, i want to make sure you are happy above all else, and.." Kensei said but was interrupted by Hana.
"Then you have nothing to worry about. I am happy right now just from talking to you like this." Hana said with a smile.
"Alright Hana, if you don't mind taking this one day at a time, and be patient with me while i learn all this stuff, would you.. like to be my girlfriend?" Kensei asked nervous about asking the pretty girl next to him.
Hana just smiled hearing Kensei actually ask her to be his girlfriend. "Of coarse Kensei-kun. I'd like that very much, and you don't have to be so worried about messing things up, I've never dated anyone either.. or kissed a boy before. We will be each others firsts in everything while we date." She said with a smile, but the smile dropped seeing Kensei blush up a storm. Quickly realizing what she said she turned dark red and sputtered out.
"I-i-i didn't mean it like that... really..." Hana said looking away from Kensei.
"Well... if you think about us in a long term perspective... it's gonna happen." Kensei said while trying to control his urge to look back over at Hana.
"I suppose your right." She said while mumbling something else under her breath.
"What was that last part?" Kensei asked hearing something else afterwards.
"OH! nothing!" Hana quickly shot out.
"...If you say so Hana-chan." Kensei said not really knowing what else she said. Looking up at the sky and noticing they have been sitting on the porch talking for a while, that the sky had turned dark blue and variously lightly lit stars were trying to shine through the atmosphere.
"It's times like this I wish time could stand still, so i can enjoy moments like this longer than they really tend to be." Kensei said.
"What do you mean?" Hana asked.
"Well... right now I am happy, and feel at peace. Even with everything that has been going on i feel like I am going a mile a minute. But right now, i feel like i can be just.. me.. with the girl i like sitting next to me enjoying the day time sky turn to dusk as the stars fight their way for dominance over the sky above us. It just makes me feel calm.." Kensei said in a voice filled with emotion. Laying on his back on the porch and looking up at the sky, and then closing his bright blue eyes relaxing.
Hana followed Kensei's lead, and laid back enough to where she hovered a little above him, leaning her head closer to Kensei's she closed the distance and made her way to his face. Finally being within a couple inches of the unsuspecting Kensei's lips, she parted her's slightly, and descended down onto Kensei's in a soft tender first kiss.
The kiss quickly snapped Kensei out of his thoughts, and calm as a new sensation raced through him. Noticing Hana's body leaning over his and Hana's face, well on his face.. startled him. Enjoying the kiss Kensei realized he needed to kiss back, so he did so ever so softly making Hana smile through the kiss. Seeing Hana pull her lips away form his Kensei just stared at the slowly rising girl that he had just shared his first actual kiss with, and noticed just how beautiful she really was. The now slowly rising moon over the buildings off in the distance were basking Hana in its wonderful heavenly glow, gently touching her face and her breasts that were peeking up at Kensei from her Chuunin vest.
"Wait breasts?!" Kensei thought to himself stuck staring at his now official girlfriends chest.. "Oh shit.. look away.. look away Kensei Uzumaki or your going to be so dead! Gotta say something random.. GOTTA SAY SOMETHING RANDOM!" Battling his body at seeing down his girlfriends vest with his mind Kensei said the first thing that came to his mind.
"Did everything just taste purple there for a second?" Kensei said effectively haulting his advances on his lower regions of wanting to come out and play.
"No i don't think so but i am pretty sure i smelled blue for a second." Hana said with an all knowing smirk on her face. Before bursting out laughing at what had happened.
Seeing and hearing Hana laughing Kensei joined in on the laughing as well. "Why are we laughing?" Kensei asked calming down on his laugh.
"Well i am laughing because you are so funny. Plus something else happened, but i wont tell you." Hana said while pointing to her nose.
"Huh? I don't get it..." Kensei referring to Hana pointing to her nose.
"Don't worry about it Kensei-kun." She said with a smile thinking about what her mom once said to her about how a female Inuzuka's nose is a powerful weapon whenever they found a mate, the female can always smell the pheromones of excitement rolling off of their mates. With her smile still on her face she slowly stood up. "You still want to get some dinner Kensei-kun?"
"That'd be nice. I forgot how hungry i actually am at the moment." Kensei said before his stomach rumbled as if agreeing to him. Standing up and walking down the steps of the porch Kensei walked over to his girlfriend and took a hold of her hand.
"Shall we my lovely lady?" Kensei said with a smile full of happiness
"Yes lets." Hana said happy that Kensei took a hold of her hand without any notion of her wanting him to do so, she just smiled back at Kensei as the two began walking off to a resteraunt to get something to eat before parting ways for the night.
"So how do you think your little brother is doing after meeting with Hinata's father tonight? and if he's still alive how do you think his date went Kensei-kun." Hana asked while she leaned her head on his shoulder as they walked hand in hand.
"Well if he's not got the Hyuga family sword shoved up his ass, and cleaved in half. I'd say his date is going pretty good." Kensei said with a grin. "I have a feeling Hinata's father is a lot nicer than he shows everyone around him Hana-chan." Kensei said enjoying the nice calm cool summer night walking at a slow pace with his girlfriend as his company.
"I hope your right. I wouldn't want to lose you because you race into the Hyuga compound ready to kill anyone in your way, and die trying to save your little brother from mass amounts of Juken users." Hana said with a small giggle at the end of what she was saying.
"Oh please.. I could take that whole clan on at the cost of my life Hana-chan. Besides," Kensei stopped the progression of their walk. "Naruto and I have something that not a lot of people have in this shinobi world." Kensei said making Hana question what he was talking about.
"What do you mean Kensei-kun?" Hana asked cutely.
"Well... after I get some time to train Naruto properly. I may show you, but until then you will just have to wait my beautiful girlfriend." Kensei said with a smile. "But if you want a hint, it has to do with our families Kekke Genkai's." Hana rolled her head on Kensei's shoulder back a little bit to look into the side of one of his eyes, seeing that he was dead serious.
"Your family has a Kekke Genkai?" Hana asked.
"You have to promise you will never tell anyone this Hana.. If i trust you enough to say this will you keep it to yourself?" Kensei asked, hearing Hana say "Hai" Kensei continued on walking with Hana next to him, while he started talking.
"The Uzumaki clan actually has three Kekke Genkai. It's rare for our clan members to get one of them, let alone two at the same time, but back in what is known today as the third great shinobi war, 25 of my clansmen all possessed two of my clan's Kekke Genkai, they were called the Crimson Demon's, and for good reason too. I.. like the Crimson Demon's possess now two of my clan's Kekke Genkai's... There has only been one person in the history of the clan that has ever possessed all three of the Kekke Genkai's at once, and while i can't tell you who he was, I will say i have a sneaking suspicion that Naruto will be the next one to possess all three at once." Kensei said with a smirk on his face as he finished.
"That's amazing... I've heard stories about the Crimson Demon's from the past.. but to think you possess the same Kekke Genkai's as them is unbelievable. You'll have to show me sometime to truly make a believer outta me Mr. Uzumaki." Hana said playfully.
"I will sometime Hana-chan. One of them I just unlocked recently, and holy crap it hurt when it did..." Kensei shivered at remembering the pain he was in after waking up in the land of waves, after meeting Naruto's team.
"So when we have kids, there is a pretty good chance they will get one of your clan's Kekke Genkai's, our kids will be amazing.." Hana said out loud forgetting to keep it in her head.
"K-K-K-KIDDDDSSS!?" Kensei stuttered out making Hana laugh at him.
"Sorry. I meant to keep that to myself." Hana said giggling at Kensei's reaction to her bringing up having kids.
"..." Kensei was just quiet after Hana's apology.
"You do want kids in the future right Kensei-kun?" Hana asked seriously.
"Well of course i do! I need to rebuild my clan remember? Having kids would be apart of that, heh heh heh..." Kensei said while scratching the back of his head with his free hand.
"Good, because i want a family some day too." Hana said smiling at the thought of what being a mother would be like.
"Please... if we manage to stay together for a long time..." Kensei paused so Hana knew he was being serious. "Don't turn into your mother..." Kensei finished.
"No guarantees babe. "Hana said laughing. "Hopefully not..." She said realizing what she would really be like if she had indeed turned into her mother, and shivered at the thought.
"You cold?" Kensei asked feeling Hana shiver.
"No, just fearing what I would be like if i did turn into my mother." Hana said seriously.
"Oh.. well i would of taken, "I am cold because I am exposing a lot of skin right now." as well." Kensei said with a smirk.
"Oh you would like it if i was exposing more skin wouldn't you?" Hana said with a light blush on her face remembering what had happened after their first kiss, and also taking note of Kensei's intense blush on his face.
"Uh..." Was all Kensei managed to get out.
"Haha, lets hurry up, the resteraunt is close by, and the dinner rush should be over." Hana said as she lifted her head off Kensei's shoulder and pulled him along.
"Right.. food.. got it.." Kensei managed to get out.
As the young couple made their way through the shopping district of the village and found the resteraunt they were looking for, they walked in and got a table. As Kensei and Hana were walking through the resteraunt they spotted an even younger couple at a booth not too far away from theirs.
"Naruto?" Kensei and Hana said at the same time.
