Chapter 14: Training begins…. Tomorrow.
"Now that the preliminaries are finished each of you will pull a number out of the box and within five weeks the final of the exams will be held in front of an audience" said Minato, as he was talking Hayate was passing by each person with a box, "There will be judges who will decide if you are chunin material. Now will each of you give me your number."
"One" said Naruto.
"Nine" said Angel.
"Five" said Angelica.
"Three" said Dosu.
"Twelve" said Gaara.
"Eight" said Temari.
"Seven" said Shikamaru.
"Four" said Fuki.
"Six" said Satsuki.
"Ten" said Shino.
"Two" said Neji.
Minato sweat dropped, he noticed that none of them had really any interest in what number they got; they all said it in a monotone voice. He also noted that Naruto chose to stand with the Ame nins instead of the ones from Leaf.
"That would leave Sasuke with the number eleven" finished Hayate, who then started to write on a clipboard. After a few seconds he gave it to the Hokage.
"All right, here are the matches; Naruto vs. Neji, Dosu vs. Fuki, Angelica vs. Satsuki, Shikamaru vs. Temari, Angel vs. Shino and Sasuke vs. Gaara. You will each be representing your village, during this break I suggest you all train like never before. Dismissed" finished Minato.
Minato was about to approach Naruto but saw that he was leaving with the same nins he was standing with.
"So you're going to go train under your brother right?" asked Naruto.
"That's right" said Angel.
"And you who is going to train you?" asked Naruto while looking at Angelica.
"Someone else he will be coming soon or he´s already here." Responded Angelica
"Hey Naruto tomorrow meet me in the park, I got some stuff I want to give you" said Angel "We have to go and check up on Syko."
"Ok, see you tomorrow then" responded Naruto.
-Hospital-
Naruto got out of Sasuke´s room; he had taken a beating and was still unconscious. As he was passing the reception´s desk he saw Kakashi walking in.
"Hey sensei, Sasuke is still unconscious if you came to visit him" said Naruto simply.
"Well I came for him and you as well I´m going to be training both of you for the exams" said Kakashi.
"No thanks, I´m going to train by myself" said Naruto, to which Kakashi was about to respond "I know what your about to say but you know as well as I do I can do better by myself, remember when I was you all you did was give me a scroll and I learned that A rank jutsu in less then two hours."
Kakashi just sighed, he knew that Naruto was right, "Are you completely sure?" Naruto just nodded. "Ok then if you really want too, but here take these scrolls they will help you out."
Kakashi handed Naruto the scrolls who just pocketed them "Who knows sensei maybe I can find someone stronger than you to train me" said Naruto with a smile, as did Kakashi.
-Hot springs-
As soon as they parted ways Naruto felt a bit lazy and decided to head to the hot springs. He already planned what he was going to do, tomorrow he would wake up early and start on the scrolls Kakashi gave him, then go eat lunch and then go see what Angel wanted. Right now though he was just going to relax, that is until he heard some giggling. He was about to enter when he heard it again, so he decided to go see what was going on. He then found an old man with white long hair with some weird clothing looking through a hole in the wooden fence.
Naruto then thought of something, "Hey why are you looking through the hole that leads to the female section of the hot springs!" he shouted as loud as he could, to which Jiraiya jumped but that wasn't the only reaction he got. He heard several screams from inside the springs. With his small mission done he walked in, hearing some yells of mercy and other stuff and the sound of punches. He finally stopped hearing the noises when he walked into the water, to which he smirked. He started to play a CD he had, and started to sing with it.
You oughta know, tonight is the night to let it go,
Put on a show, I wanna see how you lose control,
He didn't know that there was a hole in the wall that was used to look at the female's side but it was being used in reverse.
So leave it behind, coz we have a night to get away,
So come on and fly with me as we make our great escape.
At this point there where more holes know a total of ten. Each with someone looking threw them. Some of them where already familiar with Naruto after all Kurenai, Anko, Yugao, and Hana made him do a small concert for them.
So baby don't worry, you are my only
You won´t be lonely…
He didn't get to finish as something landed in the water making a huge splash. To which he thought he heard some 'aww'. He opened his eyes to see the old man in front of him, who looked really pissed. "You know kid I was doing some very important research and everything was perfect until you showed up" said the old man.
"Yeah well I saw that you deserved it" said Naruto as he closed his eyes once again.
"Do you know who I am?" said Jiraiya as he stood on top of the water.
"Nope and I don't care" said Naruto as he put a towel over his face hoping that the man would get the massage.
"Then I shall enlighten you" continued Jiraiya.
"I really don't care" said Naruto even more annoyed.
"I am feared…." Started Jiraiya
"I don't care" said Naruto a bit louder then before.
"The ladies swoon…" continued Jiraiya still ignoring Naruto.
"I seriously don't care!" shouted Naruto at this point.
"I´m…." this time he turned around to which Naruto just started to mutter.
"Screw this, I´m out of here" said Naruto and walked out without Jiraiya even knowing.
"I am Jiraiya the lege…." He turned around to see that he had already left "Where´d he go?"
-Outside-
"Damn creepy old man, doesn't understand what I don't care means, and won´t let me relax" muttered Naruto to himself.
"HEY don't you know its rude leave someone talking" said Jiraiya to which Naruto said damn it and started to walk faster. "Didn't your parents teach you it's rude to do that" Jiraiya noted that he stiffened a little at that comment.
"I don't have any real parents" said Naruto in a slightly forced tone.
"So you're an orphan" stated Jiraiya instead of asking.
"Yup now can you leave me alone so I can go train since you won´t let me relax?" said Naruto as he continued to walk.
"Are you training for the chunin exam´s?" Asked Jiraiya to which Naruto just nodded.
"Well kid you're in luck, I´m in a good mood and I´ll train you" he said slamming his fist on his chest.
"Really now," said Naruto with a bored tone, "and what can you teach me?"
"Don't you know I´m Jiraiya one of the legendary Sannin" he said rather proudly.
"Well I know that you and the other sannin got a 'legendary' ass kicking at the hands of Hanzo. While you were in your prime, in a 3 on 1 fight. Oh yeah where do I sign up" said Naruto in a sarcastic voice.
"Well kid I´ll have you know that I am 10 times better now then I was back then. Besides don't you wanna be like the other students I have taught, they each became legends" said Jiraiya.
"Oh yeah name one" said Naruto wanting to confirm something he heard about.
"Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage" said Jiraiya rather proudly.
"Then no thanks, I don't want anything to do with him or anyone that knows him" stated Naruto and walked off.
Jiraiya just looked down at that "Minato you idiot" was all that went through his mind. He then left to go find his student and see if he could help out his godchild.
-Next day-
Naruto woke up early and started on his training. He went to the field and opened the first scroll Kakashi gave him. The jutsu seemed basic enough the Shuriken Shadow clone jutsu. He got it down around noon, he was thinking about moving on to the next scroll but thought went against it, he left some clones to practice in his place. He then headed to eat some ramen and noticed that he was starting to get more attention from more females from before. Before they where girls around his age and below now there were some that where slightly older.
As he sat down in the bar he saw a familiar face, it was Hana Inuzuka. He sat next to her and started a small conversation. He didn't notice that the other two girls in the stand groaned softly. They talked a bit more then went their separate ways. He had 30 minuets before he had to go meet Angel, so he decided to walk around town. When he was passing by the village square he saw a lot of people but one stood out of the rest. This man had on some kind of breathing mask, with two filters. He had long blond hair, and that's when it clicked, it was none other then Salamander Hanzo.
"To get trained by him…" thought Naruto as he observed then man walking towards the Hokage tower "….would be a miracle." He then went on his way maybe Angel was already there.
-Park-
'Bodies together, two lovers finally reach love,
Kissing
I melt next to you,
Flying
I get lost with out you,
And I can not deny it
And I can not deny it
And I can not deny it
And I can not deny it
And I can not deny it
….I ….'
Angel at that moment then noticed that Naruto was just staring at him. "Oh come on don't tell me you have never sung in public" Naruto just raised an eyebrow "don't give me that look, I started to get into electronic so fuck off don't bother me about it. Besides I have some stuff I want to give you."
"But what were you singing, I mean I have sung in public but …" started Naruto.
"Hey up yours Naruto, if you got a problem with my singing do something about it" Said Angel in a fiery tone.
For a brief moment they looked like they were ready to fight, until they both broke into a small laughter. Angel then pulled out a small device from his pocket and it towards Naruto who caught it with ease. "That my friend is next generation tech, no more CD´s, all digital music. And the best part is this…" Angel pulled out a set of headphones, "these here will help you out even more."
"Headphones?" questioned Naruto as he inspected them and saw that there was some kind of seal on them.
"Well yeah but these are special, you know that Sound ninja with that arm?" Naruto nodded "well same idea except that when you're fighting you put the headphones around your neck… you know what fuck it here´s a manual. If I had to read it so will you" said Angel as he handed a small manual to Naruto. "Oh and take these" Angel handed him two scrolls "these jutsus should help you out."
Naruto looked at them, wind shield and sonic bass blast "So what do they do?"
"Just read them they are pretty easy" said Angel "so who´s going to train you during this month?"
"No one really, I´m going to train myself" said Naruto.
"You know Naruto if you want I can call in a favor, well not really my favor buy I can tell my brother to call one in, name someone anybody from Ame and it will happen" said Angel as he looked at Naruto with a serious face.
"I only know you, your brother, Syko, girl Angel" Angel looked pissed at that "and Salamander Hanzo" said Naruto.
"Well that is tough, but how about this, I probably can´t convince Hanzo to train you but I do know where he will be training and at what time" said Angel "impress him and maybe he will train you."
Angel then proceeded to write down something on a small piece of paper and gave it to Naruto. He looked at it then pocketed away for another tomorrow.
"So what now, do you have to go train?" asked Naruto.
"Yeah I do, but the last 3 days my training will stop, if you end your around that time lets hang out like old times" said Angel as he started to back up a bit.
"Ok, then see you around a month" said Naruto slightly.
"Oh and you should really check out the manuals on the stuff I gave you," said Angel as he started to walk away "they will help you out a bunch."
Naruto just smiled, he better get to his training maybe one of his clones got it down already. He then began to think "what was the next jutsu... oh right the clone explosion."
-Market-
Naruto went to buy some groceries and had bumped into Satsuki. They had started a small conversation about different things in their lives. He realized that they were going to be a while so he made a clone take his stuff back to his apartment. After a while Satsuki started to get a bit more intimate with Naruto holding his hand, getting his attention when there was some other girl around and flirting a bit with him. Naruto flirted back but thought it was her just playing around.
Naruto and Satsuki where alone in a park bench and he was starting to get a bit uncomfortable.
"Have you ever kissed a girl before?" she asked getting closer to him.
"Um….yeah" he said with a bit of a confused expression, "What the fuck is she up to?"
"Really now, was she your girlfriend? She continued
"Yeah" he responded.
"And what else did you do with her?" she asked even more closely.
"Not much, we were 12, we couldn't really do much" he said.
She then backed up suddenly "do you find me attractive?"
Naruto just had a 'What the fuck' look for a moment "yeah your beautiful."
Then once again she got close, but not to close like last time, to him "Then when are you going to ask me out?" the only thing that went through Naruto´s mind was "What?" "Or do you like it when a girl asks you out" she said.
"You can´t say you didn't see this coming, that time in the training field I was the first one to say anything, then when we were in wave I followed you to the forest. I´ve had my eye on you Naruto and I won´t stop until I at least get one date and something else" she said whispering and thinking the last part.
"Um….How about when the exams end we go and…see a movie?" he said the last part not really knowing what to say. He wasn't nervous the fact that a girl liked him, he already dated Izune, but the way she was doing it was creeping him out a bit. What would she do if they were older; "Stalker" was what came to his mind.
"Well then I think that it is time that you walked me home don't you think?" she said as she got up.
"Yeah" said Naruto simply.
When Naruto had left Satsuki at her compound she made him walk her all the way to her house. He was about to just leave her at her door but then her mother came out. She insisted that they come inside but he said he had to leave. When he started to walk away Mikoto said he was welcomed their anytime, but before they walked in he heard her say "It's good you're getting to know him after all….."
And he kept thinking that all the way here, after all what? He just decided to figure it out later and began to look at the stuff Angel gave him, first the device.
After a while he got the hang of it, it was pretty simple, it could download songs and play them back. And something interesting was that it could read discs and download them directly. The headphones on the other hand where a bit more complicated but what really stood out were the fact that they helped cast minor genjutsus. They messed with people inner ears or something and made them dizzy or something like that. The jutsu that Angel gave him, sonic bass blast, which also needed a better name, needed the headphones. They released a bass sound so hard that it could deflect attacks or send stuff flying back.
He was tired and decided to go to bed it was already late and tomorrow he needed to get up early.
-In his dream-
He was standing before the door that every time he opened he would wake up. As he pushed it opened he entered a huge chamber like room. He couldn't really see the ceiling but across the room there was huge gate that was closed with a seal, but behind it he saw a massive figure with something waving behind it. The suddenly it started to disappear; he was hesitant but decided to go see where it went. As he was getting closer he couldn't really see anything beyond a few yards after the gate. He was about to reach through and look inside, until he saw something move. Then a body shot at him, all he saw was a gorgeous face with red hair come at him, "surprise" and grabbed his hands, as if pulling him into the cage.
AN
Short chapter I know but… well I got no real reason why.
As for Minato he does know Naruto doesn't like him but he hasn't been able to approach him, he is a Kage and has stuff to do plus Naruto is always avoiding him.
Something I have been thinking about was this; should Naruto forgive Yuki, his sister. I unintentionally made her nicer, I have no idea how but it happened, in the earlier version they both hate him and could match him in power if they teamed up. BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK yes or no that he lets Yuki into his life?
Also do I need to work on my fight scenes or are they ok like they are?
And the same as always please review and tell me what you think.
