Chapter 11: Vacation Pt 2
Naruto after leaving his meeting with Tsunade and Hiashi decided he wanted to spend most of the rest of his time alone since he has some time before he needs to meet back up with the girls. He walked into the dark alleys of the village trying his best to avoid any unnecessary attention from anyone. He eventually found the area he decided to pursue that of the forest of death.
'Good' Naruto thought to himself he had decided to go here as it was easily the quietist place in the village something Naruto appreciated however this calm was soon disrupted.
"My my I heard you were visiting but I imagined they were rumors" Naruto heard he turned to the voice and saw a women he vaguely recognized.
"If I remember your name is Anko right?" Naruto asked his face devoid of any emotion.
"You would be right kid" the now named Anko replied walking closer to Naruto until she was well within his comfort zone "and I want something from you" she said.
"And what makes you think I will give you anything?" Naruto asked one eye brow raised.
"well you and I are similar you know you were betrayed by your teacher just like I was, hell they even teamed up I'd like to think that makes us something like siblings wouldn't you agree?" Anko said wrapping an arm around Naruto's shoulder.
"I don't agree with you Anko-san and whatever you want you can ask someone else because you're not getting anything from me" Naruto said taking Anko's hand and lifting it off of his shoulders.
"Awww come on all I want is a spar don't tell me your a big chicken or have you gotten soft after teaching those three deadweights?" Anko asked mocking Naruto hoping to get a good reaction from it and sure enough there was indeed a reaction.
Naruto as much as the next guy didn't enjoy being mocked but for some odd reason he didn't like Anko calling his students deadweight it made his blood boil he looked up at the girl to his right. "you're on I'll show you who's gotten soft" he snarled out.
"Wonderful shall we prepare?" Anko said walking away cracking her knuckles and stretching to prepare for what she hoped would be an entertaining fight.
Naruto didn't need to answer he followed suit stretching and lazily getting into a fight stance he knew Anko was skilled Kakashi often spoke highly of her. Naruto his hand resting gently on a scroll tied to his belt was waiting for Anko to make the first move. He was pretty damn sure Anko was the type to run in guns blazing she certainly seemed to type to do so.
As per his prediction Anko ran and quickly closed the gap in between them in almost an instant. Naruto wasn't surprised he quickly backed away from the punch aimed towards his head and caught the kick that soon followed. This fight followed the usual pattern taijutsu was the first skill to be tested.
"not bad dodged my first blows honestly I thought you wouldn't" Anko congratulated Naruto clapping rather sarcastically.
"well it's not hard dodging something so slow" Naruto shot back earning a faster kick this time he was barely able to dodge it.
'whoa this could be interesting' Naruto thought his head back looking down at a smug Anko.
Anko continued to be the attacker while Naruto defended preferring to dodge though it was gradually getting harder. Finally Anko broke Naruto's defenses and landed a solid punch right into his gut the resulting punch causes Naruto to cough out a fair share of blood. Anko casually waked back seemingly quite satisfied at what she had just managed to do.
"don't tell me that's all you got kid" Anko laughed and prepared for round two.
"I must admit you aren't to bad Anko-san" Naruto coughed out wiping the blood of his chin "unfortunately for you I was holding back"
Naruto stood up straight and removed one of the two scrolls off his belt and unfurled it there was only one seal on it, Naruto bite on his thumb and wiped some of the blood over the seal. The resulting puff of smoke coated Naruto for a few seconds a light gust of wind blew the smoke away revealing Naruto now holding a Katana it's hilt a dark forest green a golden guard and finally the blade itself looked brand new.
"ready Anko-san?" Naruto said looking a lot more serious
Anko narrowed her eyes 'a sword? And I assume the other scroll has another one so he still isn't 100% serious' Anko drew a few kunai.
The clash of steel caused the birds in the trees to take flight Naruto had attempted a straight slash right down Anko in retaliation crossed her kunai and caught the blade. Anko winced even though Naruto was only 13 his strength and height easily equaled that of a 18 year old.
"good work Anko-san a second slower and I would have killed you" Naruto complimented and quickly kicked Anko in the gut sending her back a good 10 feet. Anko didn't take her eyes off Naruto for a second it was lucky she didn't Naruto closed the gap and this time went for a side stroke Anko opted to simply back away to avoid the stroke rather than parry it. What Anko didn't know Naruto was hoping she would do this as he was trying to force her into a tree Naruto as much as it annoyed him was going by what Shiro once taught him.
(mini flashback)
Shiro was holding a wooden sword as was Naruto "ok Naruto when fighting someone with a sword one of the easiest ways to win is to back them into a corner force them into terrain that they would find it difficult to fight in and you will surely defeat them" Naruto nodded and got into a stance preparing for another spar with Shiro.
(see I told you it was mini)
Anko continued to dodge the sword confused as to what was Naruto's plan he seemed contend that she was avoiding his strikes. Soon Anko relised what Naruto was doing but it was much to late as she relised when she backed right into a tree. Smirking Naruto brought up his sword the tip right in between Anko's eyes.
"gotcha" Naruto said
Anko was furious she was outsmarted by a little kid and he got her in a position that should he desire he could easily kill her. Naruto however opted to return the sword to it's scroll turning he walked away satisfied.
"were done here Anko-san good fight" Naruto calmly said.
Anko didn't like what Naruto was saying it made her look weak that was something that she didn't like. She went through a few handsigns and aimed her arm straight at Naruto "Sen'eijashu" from her sleeve shot several snakes their intended target being Naruto. Anko didn't want to kill Naruto by poisoning him the snakes were to simply wrap around Naruto to prove she wasn't some pushover.
The snakes reached Naruto in a matter of seconds but suddenly Anko heard something she didn't expect "Futon: Te Hokogiri No Jutsu" with Naruto's hands cloaked in wind chakra he turned and slashed each snake killing each one once he had done so he deactivated his Jutsu and grabbed one of the dead snaked before Anko could retract it and pulled it hard pulling Anko towards him as she rushed towards him his fist was moving forward. An inch before Naruto's punch meet Anko's face he stopped "Anko-san I thought you were better than that next time I won't be so lenient" Naruto released Anko and once again walked away.
Anko dropped to her knees it was amazing, she prided herself on having the most potent killer intent in the entire village but it was a 13 year old boy that made her drop to her knees. The amount of KI he leaked it was something else to do this to her she was sweating her heart rate was off the scale and she even felt tears run down her face she hadn't been in a state like this since Orochimaru left. She now had a new opinion of Naruto she feared him but also respected him 'to think though there was a good chance he was holding back' Anko remained at the forest of death there was no chance she was going to let anyone see her in her current state.
(With Hinata)
Hinata was slowly walking down the main streets of the village she was on her way to her favorite sweet shop in the village to get some cinnamon buns. Hinata was glad to be in the village again she missed the general buzz that only the village could give someone she soon turned a corner into the street that had her sweet shop she was stopped however by the unexpected sight of her older cousin Neji. He was with three others they were who Hinata suspected his genin team a girl her hair tied into two twin buns, the other was a very odd looking individual he wore a full green spandex suit his hands and most of his arms wrapped in bandages. Then there was his sensei who strangely enough was a carbon copy of the young green spandex clad boy only taller and had a jonin jacket on. Neji too spotted Hinata his somewhat calm face turned into one of anger.
"my my if it isn't Hinata-sama" Neji spoke despite using the sama title it was obvious that he didn't have any respect for hinata at all.
"hello Neji-nii-san" Hinata said most of her stutter gone
"why is it the disgrace of the Hyuga clan is back in this village I was under the impression you weren't coming back or maybe it was hope I forget which" Neji sneered.
Had this been the Hinata a few months ago she would have backed away in fear but this time she stood her ground despite Neji's insults she simply tried to walk around him "I'm sorry Neji-nii-san I need to be leaving"
Neji couldn't believe it to be ignored like that and by hinata no less he wasn't going to let that slide so he extended his hand "why in such a rush why don't we spar you know like old times" he smirked this would make Hinata stutter and turn into a crying mess.
Hinata's eyes widened she didn't know what to do she was placed into a problematic situation she could say yes and fight knowing full well Neji was better even though she had improved in the last month, on the other hand if she refused it would make her look weak in front of Neji something that she didn't want she took a deep breath and closed her eyes "Fine" was all she needed to say.
Neji actually stepped back he was beyond shocked that Hinata accepted he was sure that she couldn't possibly improve the the point that she could match him why would she bother accepting? "well then follow me let us go to a training ground Guy-sensei would you referee?" Neji asked Guy seemed more than willing to accept.
(training ground 7)
Neji and Hinata stood opposite one another Hinata was shaking a little she was nervous 'why did I need to act so tough look where it has got me' Hinata though getting into her fighting stance which was a little different then her usual style Naruto was only just starting to teach Hinata this new style so she still had little real knowledge of it.
Neji sneered everything about Hinata was different she was acting differently more confident he didn't like it. When Guy called for the match to begin Neji immediately went on the offensive and attacked Hinata, to his surprise she dodged his opening strike easily and she soon retaliated his strike with one of her own however Neji easily caught it.
"my Hinata-sama you surprise me but a failure will always be a failure" Neji laughed and using his foot tripped Hinata so her face hit the floor hard.
Coughing from the dirt being forced down her throat Hinata tried to get back up but Neji forced his foot into her back to keep her down. "this is where someone like you belongs stop hanging onto the dream that you could ever beat me it will never happen destiny has dictated it" Neji said taking his foot off of Hinata.
That was all it took Hinata didn't even bother trying to get up Neji's words had stung, she realised that as much as she may have improved with Naruto she wasn't ever going to be what everyone wanted her to be. 'I'm sorry Naruto-sensei I can't win' she thought her face finally succumbing to tears.
"to think the Hyuga clan's precious Heiress is nothing but a crying mess what a disgrace" Neji said walking away.
A new voice rung into Hinata's ears "My you remind me of Hiashi-san" Hinata immediately recognized the voice she looked up from the ground there he was Naruto standing next to Hinata. "I saw your fight Hinata guess it's going to take a little longer than I thought to get you up to speed" He sighed offering his hand to her
Hinata smiled lightly and reached up taking Naruto's hand and was soon pulled to her feet "Sensei I….I" Hinata attempted to apologize however Naruto placed a hand onto her head.
"no need to say sorry he is stronger than you there is nothing to apologize about I'd be disappointed if you were stronger and you still lost" Naruto said "now it's convenient that I found you since there is something I need to tell you that actually involves you and your cousin" Hinata and Neji looked at Naruto with curiosity "when Hinata's training period is over she and Neji will battle. Should she win Hiashi promised me that he would stop this complaining about how I train Hinata, he also gets something should Neji win something I still do not know. So Neji I have 5 more months to get Hinata stronger than you and believe me she will be until then we shall be going come on Hinata lets go wait for pinky and blondie" Naruto said walking away soon followed by Hinata.
(Village Gate)
Hinata and Naruto were at the main village gate waiting for Sakura and Ino "sensei why does Otou-sama want Neji-nii-san and me to fight?" Hinata asked looking down.
"I don't really Know Hinata, Hiashi-san he seemed a little pissed that I decided to change your fighting style really this fight is a test of my new fighting style" Naruto admitted "so if anything this is my fault I suppose I should apologize" Naruto said looking away.
Hinata blushed Naruto seemed to be honestly caring for hinata "thank you Sensei you didn't need to do this for me" she said blushing.
"yeah yeah just don't tell the other two I'm such a softy" Naruto said earning a little giggle from Hinata.
