I don't own Naruto, but if I knew the guy who did, I'd beg him to stop
taking a break
New Teams
Naruto and Sakura were waiting at team seven's usual meeting place. They had been waiting for ninety minutes now, and both of their tempers were flaring. Mostly Naruto was the one enraged, Sakura was glad for the chance to get to know Naruto better. She decided to break the silence, "So... what do you think we're here for? I know we don't have any missions today..." Naruto looked up. "WHAT? We don't have a mission?" he screamed, which caused Sakura to laugh. "Y'know, it wouldn't kill you to read the mission boards." She said in a sweet tone. Naruto was thrown by this, a few weeks ago she would have slugged him for not reading the mission postings. But a lot had happened in the last week. To prove that point, he looked around to see if sasuke was anywhere insight. Naruto had already forgiven Sasuke in his mind, not that he'd ever tell. He just wanted team seven to be complete again. Sakura was able to guess what was on naruto's mind. "Don't worry Naruto, we're doing fine on our own, right?" Naruto grinned, but it wasn't as big as usual. They had been on a few low level missions on their own, and did fine. "You're right Sakura! You have gotten a lot stronger lately, so there won't be any problems." He said, restoring his grin to its normal size.
Suddenly, Kakashi appeared. "Hi guys, sorry I'm late, I was picking up your new teammate!" Naruto whirled around and shouted "I've had enough of your bullshit st- wait... that doesn't sound made up." "It isn't." Gaara said, as he stepped out from behind Kakashi. Naruto started beaming, "ALRIGHT! Now we really have the strongest team! We could even take neji, lee, and tenten!" he shouted. Although in his mind, Tenten was still stronger than Sakura, but what the hell. "I could take Neji, Lee, and Tenten alone." Gaara corrected. Naruto noticed Sakura looked worried, "Wait, does this mean Sasuke isn't coming back?" he asked. Kakashi thought for a moment. "Not necessarily. Gaara's team was split up so there would be teams of four. Sasuke can come back whenever he wants. Now you three get used to each other, I have an errand to run." And with that, Kakashi vanished as quickly as he appeared. The three remaining silent for a moment until naruto broke the silence, "So, who wants ramen?"
Kakashi appeared behind Hisindo. He had been watching naruto during the meeting and the hour before the meeting which kakashi made them wait. "well?" kakashi asked. Hisindo smirked, "he's loud, obnoxious, and the only one in this village with blonde hair. There's no way he isn't related to me." "you are going to meet with him aren't you?" "yeah, he deserves that. I doubt he knows much about mom or dad. So tell me, where can I meet up with him?" "the ramen bar." Kakashi answered without missing a beat.
"Naruto, slow down!" sakura screamed at her teammate, "I thought you wanted to go together! The whole team, you idiot!" Naruto turned his head, about fifty feet ahead of her and Gaara, and shouted "I'm sorry! I forgot I was supposed to meet hinata at the ramen bar today!" sakura stopped in her tracks. She had noticed naruto and hinata had been getting closer ever since Naruto had brought sasuke back. Although Sakura wasn't ready to admit it, she had recently taken a liking toward naruto. She had even turned down a kiss from sasuke. Her mind snapped back to reality when she realized she was being left behind.
By the time Gaara and Sakura arrived at the ramen bar, Naruto had already taken the seat to the left of hinata, the right being taken by neji. "Hey Neji, didn't expect to see you here!" Naruto said. Hinata answered for Neji, "My father has had him guarding ever since I got out of the hospital..." Naruto felt guilty for asking, he knew Hinata and her father didn't get along. "Her father is proud of her for standing up to Itachi." Neji stated, seeing Naruto discomfort. Naruto perked up, "That true?" "y- yes..." Hinata answered. At this time Sakura sat down right next to naruto, and put on her best fake smile, "Hey hinata, I'm glad to see you're feeling better." As she said this she pulled naruto closer to her. "So Naruto, what's good here?" While Naruto barely noticed Sakura's advance, Hinata more than noticed. It actually angered her more than she had ever been. "Umm... N-naruto? Could you check my wound it feels like it's open..." Naruto quickly moved over to hinata, not seeing Sakura's dirty looks. Outside Kakashi smiled underneath his mask. "Huh, Naruto finally gets the attention he wanted, and he doesn't even realize it." He made sure Hisindo was waiting in front of the bar, and then disappeared.
(In front of 3rd hokage's grave) Jiraya and Tsunade stood in front of a recently dug unmarked grave. Jiraya turned to his companion, "Do you think we did the right thing? I mean, if any one finds out who this is..." "No one will find out," Tsunade replied, "besides, it was the third's wish that we all be buried with him." They were silent for a moment, until tsunade started weeping, quietly though. It would take a ninja to notice. She turned around, heading back to the village. A few minutes after she left, Jiraya went to his knees, in a prayer stance. "rest in peace, Orochimaru."
(Back at the ramen bar, an hour later) Naruto sat alone. Hinata and Neji had been the first to leave, not by Hinata's choice, but her father had given strict orders for her to rest over the next few days. Sakura basked in the victory of staying longer, but soon had to go to diner at her own house. Gaara stayed a bit longer, not talking at all, and soon went home. Naruto was on his last bowl (due to financial reasons). Hisindo walked in calmly and sat next to naruto. "Large pork, please." Kakashi was watching from a distance, "good, looks like he's going to be subtle about this..." Naruto looked up, "Hey, That's my favorite!" Hisindo looked down and smiled, "Real coincidence, huh? Want to know a bigger coincidence? We have the same mother and father!" Kakashi groaned to himself and started walking away, "So much for subtle..."
Naruto stared up at the stranger, not really understanding what the stranger had said. Hisindo realized this would take awhile, "Hey buddy, another bowl for my brother here!" "Y-you're lying... I, I, don't..." Naruto stammered. "Hey, I know this is a lot for you to take in, thinking you were alone for so long... Hell I'm in the same boat! I didn't even know I had a little br-" "YOU'RE LYING!" naruto screamed, releasing a shockwave at his brother. Hisindo flew through the air and gracefully landed on his feet. Naruto looked in horror at what he had done, and ran away. (The surrounding woods of the village) Naruto had ran around for a solid fifteen minutes, before he collapsed, confused as hell. "Oh god, I attacked him, he's gonna tell the villagers, and they're gonna run me out of town and... and..." "Hey calm down kid." Narutos head jerked up, once again staring at the man who claimed to be his brother. "W-who are you?" "My name is Uzumaki Hisindo. I'm 29 years old and I'm a high level samurai. And don't worry about me telling the villagers anything, Kakashi already filled me in on your demon situation." Naruto made a faint smile as hisindo handed him a bowl of ramen he got from the bar. "T-thank you..." "Ehh... I already paid for it." Naruto quickly ate the contents of the bowl and looked up. "If you're really my brother, where have you been?" "Kid, today is the first day in 14 years I've been back to this village... I'm sorry to say I didn't even know about you till today." "why'd you leave?" "umm... I think I tell you that story tomorrow, you've been through enough tonight." Naruto's face brightened, "So you're staying? For awhile?" "Yeah this village is gonna need all the help it can get..."
"What do you mean?" "Kid, don't get to worked up about this, but if both you and that Gaara guy are here, you can bet the Atksuki will be here to scoop you two up." Hisindo looked down and saw Naruto was asleep. Smiling, he hoisted naruto onto his back and carried him back to the village. "It's probably better you didn't hear that yet. The biggest thing on a 12 year olds mind should be the next day," he stopped in his tracks, "and how the hell I'm going to find out where you live."
Sorry this took so long to get out... but thanks to every one who has read and reviewed this far. I'll get the next chapter out much quicker. Oh, and send me ideas for couples.
