OoOoO- Naruto -OoOoO
The two boys quickly finished eating and then Deidara asked, "You never answered my question, un."
Naruto blinked, "What question?"
"What do you think of art?"
He shrugged, "I dunno, I like doodling, but other than my drawings I've never really seen any art."
Deidara stared at him in horror. "Follow me! I will show you my art!"
The two brothers behind him sighed. Naruto just shrugged and followed Deidara. Once at the training field Deidara brought out some clay objects that when Naruto got a closer look saw they were spider like things.
"Watch." Deidara said as he threw the spider. He made a hand seal and the spider enlarged becoming four times as big as before. "Katsu!" The supposed blonde shouted making a cross seal. The spider blew up in a large blast. Naruto watched the explosions happen, it was pretty cool, though he guessed it would be color if he wasn't colorblind.
"Well well what do you think?" The boy asked excited.
"It was really cool.. can you tell me the colors and stuff?" Naruto asked wondering what color the explosions were.
The older boy looked sheepish, "I'm sorry. I forgot you can't see colors… I guess not being able to see the beauty of the reds and oranges and the white when they blow up can diminish some of artistic beauty…"
Naruto just shrugged. For the next ten minutes Deidara rambled on about the artistic qualities of his explosions. The boy said he will be right back and five minutes later came back with crayons and paper. "I want to know what you saw, what colors will you need?"
"Grey, black, and white." Naruto said, he had done these a couple time for the hokage or his shimmers who wanted to know how he saw things.
He begun working on the drawing and an hour later he was done. "Deidara-san, the drawing." He said handing the drawing to the boy who had been working on his clay.
"You don't have to add the suffix," He commented walking over to Naruto, "Wow.. this is how you see my art?" Deidara asked.
"It's how I see everything, in varying shades of grey."
"You poor boy!" Deidara said throwing his arms around him.
Naruto flinched not used to people touching him. Deidara noticed, "Hey, you okay?"
"Yeah… you just surprised me is all."
The older boy gave a small nod. Naruto yawned, it was starting to get a bit later in the day. "Huh, oh what's your sleeping arrangements?" Deidara asked.
Naruto shrugged, the older boy looked at his guards who also shrugged. "To the old man then!" Deidara shouted.
The boy ran off leaving Naruto once more to chase after him the two brothers keeping up with him. Naruto arrived a few seconds behind Deidara panting out of breath, the boy grinned and threw the door open, "Yo! Old man." he shouted as he entered. Naruto followed behind and the brothers shut the door behind him.
"Brat." Onoki grumbled giving the boy a glare. "What are you doing here?"
Deidara opened his mouth when the door slammed open again, "Old man!" A voice shouted. Naruto turned and saw it was a girl who looked only a couple years older than him and a year or two younger than Deidara.
"Kurotsuchi." Onoki said rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Are the rumours true that we captured the Namikaze's brat?" She demanded.
"We are doing the bloodwork for it, and what have I told you," He looked at both of them, "What have I told the both of you about entering my room in such a manor."
"To not," The two replied with similar eye rolls.
"Kurotsuchi, the blonde haired brat is Naruto Uzumaki, the one who the earth squad thought was Namikaze's brat."
Naruto gave a friendly wave, "Hia!"
She scowled at him, "What's he doing out of the cells then."
He pouted. Onoki scowled at her, "Uzumaki has been cooperative so we are allowing him some measure of freedom, besides he's only six."
"Im nearly seven!" Naruto added with a grin. "Say say, you good at Janken?" He asked with an overly innocent smile. One thing he was really liking about Iwa was that everyone seemed willing to play with him.
"I'm one of the best." The girl said arrogantly, "I'm number 5 on the leaderboard. 3 rounds of twenty one hands." She stated.
Naruto nodded his agreement. The two played and Naruto allowed her to win the first round rather thoroughly, then in the second round he made it as if he barely won. Then smirking in the third round he completely crushed her. His guardian smirked at him and muttered, "I taught him well."
Naruto just grinned. Bandage-shimmer sighed.
"So why did you come here Deidara?" Onoki asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah! What's Naruto's sleeping arrangements?"
"He will stay the night in the Bunbetsu no Aru hotel."
Naruto gave another yawn, "Thanks old man." Deidara said. "Let's go then Mini-me."
He gave a slow blink at that then shrugged and followed the older boy. Behind him he heard Onoki grumble to himself. Something about youngsters. Deidara led them to a rather nice looking Hotel. Then after checking with the receptionist and getting a room key Deidara led him to his room. "I'll come pick you up tomorrow. Since the tournament is semi-casual we'll have to get you some nicer clothes. Anyways goodnight little Naruto!"
"Goodnight!" Naruto said with a wave.
"Do not think your alone, you still have guards watching you even now." His guardian told him before Naruto could speak up. The bandage-shimmer had stayed back in the tsuchikage's office.
Naruto yawned and after laying down he fell asleep. He woke up to his shoulder being shaken. Startled he jumped away from whoever was touching him feeling panic. "Calm down Naruto! Its me, Deidara." the older boy said holding his hands up.
"Jeez! You gave me a heart attack, sneaking up on me when I'm sleeping like that." Naruto said taking a few breaths.
Looking around he saw his guardian who asked, "Would you like me to help suppress your emotions again?"
Naruto debated for a moment before giving a small nod, he didn't want to cause a scene because he had been freaking kidnapped by one of Konoha's biggest enemies! As he looked into his guardian's sharingan he felt a wave of calm come over him. Deidara was watching him with concern. "You okay?"
Naruto nodded, "Yeah, im fine now, i'm not used to being woken up like that."
Deidara just gave a slow nod in response, "Lets get some breakfast, and then we'll get you some better clothes, then well head over to the stadium, Old man Onoki said he will sponsor your entry into the tournament since you beat him in the casual game."
"Cool!"
The two went to eat some Bakudan before getting Naruto some new clothes, it was a lose top that Deidara said was grey with brown trimmings, because Naruto asked if it could be down, they added the leaf symbol in a red on the back. Cause Naruto was a loyal Konoha citizen, even if he was enjoying his vacation as he had decided to call this kidnapping scenario. A few minutes later he had his shirt, and then he was given a pair of black pants. Again according to Deidara. His guardian didn't say otherwise so Naruto believed the boy was telling him the truth on the colors.
He changed into the new clothes, which felt surprisingly soft on his skin. Deidara beamed at him, "Looking good!" he said, "Now the tournaments going to start in about an hour, but we got to get you signed up. Let's go find the old man."
So they went to the Tsuchikage's office. "Old man! You said you were gonna sponsor Naruto here! Lets get him signed up."
So the group left to the big stadium. Naruto was signed up, suddenly Naruto got an idea, "Onoki-sama," He started respectfully, "If I can do this entire tournament without losing a single hand is there a prize?"
The old man laughed, "Brat if you can do the entire tournament without losing a single hand, we'll make you an honorary Iwa shinobi, despite your ties to Konoha."
Naruto stared wide eye, he had just wanted to get some food if he could do it. Onoki chuckled. "Uzumaki, I don't know what tournament Konoha has, but we Iwa Shinobi take our Janken very seriously."
"I don't think Konoha has any tournament." Naruto mused.
"Really? Hmpf damn tree huggers." The man grumbled, "We don't know what tournaments Kiri or Suna have, just that they have one, but we know Kumo has speed tournaments."
Naruto nodded he looked to his guardian who smirked at him, "Yes I will help you not lose a single hand. Being considered an Honorary Ninja for a country not your own is a pretty big deal. I will explain more later if they do not properly explain it to you."
Announcements were made and then the tournaments were starting, Naruto faced off against his first opponent, there were hundred of other pairs sitting against each other. The first round was 3 rounds, with 21 hands, which was the common casual play apparently. Naruto played against his first victim, er opponent, and won easily not losing a single hand thanks to his guardian.
The first round ended quickly and then the second began, and then the third which they were now down to twenty five people, not including the top ten, who apparently didn't have to play against anyone else until there was a finalist from the common grounds. Names were drawn and the rounds were changed to 5 rounds of 21 hands.
Naruto played against his opponents and kept winning not losing a single hand, people were starting to realize now and where whispering. Finally he was declared the victor of the common ground and now had the option of challenging the great ten. But he had to first fight against number ten, and then work his way up before he was declared winner.
The rounds changed again, to three rounds of 50 hands. One by one he fought and defeated the great ten without losing a single hand until it was just him vs Onoki. "I underestimated you brat, I didn't think you could actually win without losing a single hand, but that ends here!" He declared as they sat at the table.
"I'm gonna win." Naruto stated with a smirk.
"Because this is the final battle, why don't we make this interesting, 3 rounds of a hundred hands. What does the audience say?" The announcer called out, the audience roared in approval.
His guardian snorted. The rounds started and Naruto fought against Onoki, his guardian calling out hand signs so Naruto would win without losing a single hand.
After a long and intense battle, Onoki was sweating heavily as Naruto grinned viciously. It was the last hand of the round. "Do paper." Madara said. Onoki clenched his hand and threw out his fist. Naruto smirked and at the same time his hand opened up into paper. He had won. Onoki stared in shock. "I don't know how you did it brat."
Naruto smirked at him, "I am Janken king!"
"Yes you are, for now anyways."
The announcer called out his victory and for a few seconds everything was quiet before the crowd started cheering. "Alright brat, well make you an honorary shinobi later today, but first let's get some food." Onoki said smirking at him. Naruto nodded, "You know if you didn't look so much like that damn Namikaze, I wouldn't think you could be his brat."
"What do ya mean?"
"The Namikaze bastard hated Janken."
Naruto stared wide eyed, "H-how?"
Onoki shook his head, "I don't know. I'm sure Konoha thinks we hate him because he slaughtered thousands of us, but thats standard ninja business, we despise him because he hated Janken." Onoki grumbled.
Naruto shuddered, "How can someone not like Janken? They must be inhuman."
Onoki nodded in agreement.
OoOoO- Minato -OoOoO
He paused from his mindless floating in the shinigami's stomach. "Why do I feel like my own son is doing something I despise?" Another pause, "And that for some reason he's talking with that old bastard Onoki about me?" He shrugged, "I must be going crazy, there's no way my son can like Janken, and be talking about me with Onoki."
OoOoO- Naruto -OoOoO
Naruto sneezed.
"Alright brat, let's get you a headband." Onoki said.
"Yay! Thanks Onoki-sama" Naruto said with a grin. At least he was accepted here in Iwa, and if he could do it here then he could do it in Konoha!
"Congratulations Naruto!" Deidara shouted running up to him.
"How did a brat like you defeat grandfather and me?" Kurotsuchi demanded walking up to him as well.
"Grandfather?" Naruto asked confused.
"The old man there is my grandfather."
"Oh! Well I'm the Janken king thats why." Naruto said pompously before sticking his tongue out.
"You brat!" she shouted and came towards him with her fist raised, Naruto yelped and ran. "Get back here you brat!" She shouted.
"NO!" Naruto yelled back turning a corner and sliding under a cart, very used to being chased. A few minutes later he paused, he hadn't heard Kurotsuchi's voice for a few seconds.
Looking around he frowned wondering where he was at. Shrugging he looked for the Tsuchikage's building and started walking that direction.
"There you are Naruto!" Deidara shouted a few minutes later.
Naruto waved, "How did you escape from Kurotsuchi, that old man's granddaughter is one of the fastest of her age, faster then even most genin."
"Really? I guess it's cause I'm used to running away from the chunin back in Konoha after I pulled off a prank."
"Oh your a prankster?" Deidara asked.
"Yep."
"Cool."
The two continued walking, making there way to the tower. Once there they went up to Onoki's office. "Well congratulations Naruto, you're the first Konoha ninja to be made an Honorary member of Iwa, and to get into our Red alert book."
"Red alert book?"
"A red alert book, is a book of people who can ruin your pride and embarrass you to the fullest extent in different things. Like A-dono is known as the fastest person and if you ever try to get into a race with him your going to lose. You are in there as a Janken master, of course now if you lose against someone your reputation will take a hit. Basically the red alert book is just a list of people who are the master at something and choosing to challenge that person is usually not wise unless your confident. I used to be in it as Janken king since I haven't lost in over 50 years."
"Wow." Naruto said as he grabbed the Iwa headband he had been given, it was almost a normal Iwa headband except that the symbol had a circle around it.
"The blood work should be done tomorrow." Onoki stated with a smirk. "So long as you have the headband on you none of my ninja should give your trouble, once your blood work is done then I will send Konoha a message so they can pay up for us to give you back."
Naruto just nodded and tied the headband around his neck. "Naruto lets go spar a bit!" Deidara said with a grin.
"Sure."
The two went and sparred for a little bit before getting dinner and Naruto returned to the hotel. He was about to fall asleep when he a shimmer burst through his wall, "Naru-chan!" Hashirama shouted and tried to give him a flying tackle hug only to pass right through him.
Naruto looked at his guardian, "We are alone."
With a grin Naruto waved at Hashirama who was pouting, "Hello Hashi-chan."
"Tobirama says you were kidnapped, are you okay? They didn't hurt you did you? If they hurt you I'll destroy them" Hashirama asked coming over to him and looking at him checking for injuries.
"I'm fine! Actually, I kinda became welcomed here as an honorary Shinobi." Naruto stated rubbing the back of his head.
The room's atmosphere started to become heavier. "Really how did you do that?" Hashirama asked seemingly oblivious.
Naruto glanced to where his guardian had his arms crossed and was glaring at Hashirama.
"Well… Janken!" Naruto said with a grin.
"Hashirama." His guardian growled out.
The man slowly turned to him. "Madara…" his voice was shaky and his eyes were wide.
"Hmpf, this is the first time you see me since you would not leave that field of yours and you just ignore me?" The atmosphere became heavier with every word.
Hashirama bent down and started drawing circles in the ground, "I'm sorry."
"Baka." His guardian grumbled and walked over to Hashirama, he paused as he stood over him and then he crouched down in front of him, Hashirama looked at him with wide eyes. "It is not your fault for what happened." His guardian stated softly, then he grabbed Hashirama's hand and stood up bringing Hashirama up with him.
"You better not have gotten rusty, as soon as we get back to Konoha were going to spar." His guardian stated in lieu of actually saying that he missed the man.
Hashirama obviously still got the message though as for the first time since Naruto had met the man Hashirama beamed, his whole face lit up. "Aww Dara-chan missed me!" He said throwing an arm around his guardian.
Madara scowled at him, but Naruto could tell it was only for show. Grinning mischievously Naruto called out, "Aww how cute when are you two gonna kiss?" He teased.
His guardian growled at him, "You brat!" he said and went to whack Naruto's head. Not expecting it to hit Naruto didn't move but then was shocked when Madara's hand collided with his head in a gentle cuff.
The two shimmers and Naruto paused, "That is the second time that has happened…" His guardian said with a frown.
Naruto yawned. "I'm tired." he said lying down.
"Sleep Naru-chan." Hashirama said with a smile.
Naruto nodded and soon he fell asleep.
