Hi!

Thanks to everyone who followed, favourited and to madeyemoody95, cassjo, jairoesme and thor94 for leaving reviews.

Now, withour further ado, here's chapter 14 of Naruto's New Life!

The next morning Yagura made his way towards Naruto's apartment. He had been sensing Inu occasionally but now was not one of those times so he decided this was as good of a time as ever to visit his apprentice.

Upon reaching a familiar staircase Yagura walked slowly up the stairs. Stopping in front of the door that he knew to be Naruto's, he raised his hand and knocked.

Silence. Yagura frowned and knocked again. This time he could hear the sound of creaking floorboards which informed him that Naruto was coming to the door.

The door was pushed open to show a tired looking Naruto rubbing his eyes. He was already wearing his bright, orange jumpsuit, however, his hair was messy, unbrushed, so Yagura assumed that he had just gotten up from bed.

"Sensei? What are you doing here this early?" Naruto said, stifling a yawn.

Yagura laughed. "Early? It's not early; you should be getting ready to go to the academy."

Naruto shook his head. "No I don't, today's the weekend and the academy doesn't run so you're the one in the wrong."

Yagura shrugged. "Really? Oh well."

They stood there in silence before Naruto shuffled to the side of the door frame.

'This is what you do when someone comes over right?'

"You want to come in?" he asked.

Yagura nodded. "Sure!"

He entered the small apartment, Naruto close behind him.

Naruto gestured to a table which had two chairs beside it. There was a cup of ramen, on the table.

'Naruto's breakfast.' Yagura thought.

He took a seat at the table and watched as Naruto walked over to the kettle, which appeared to be already boiled, pick it up and pour the hot water into the cup of ramen. Placing the kettle back, Naruto too took a seat at the table. They sat together in silence.

Suddenly, Naruto sighed.

"I hate this," he groaned, perking Yagura's interest.

"Hate what?" he asked.

"The three minute waiting time, before you can eat the ramen, it's torture!"

Yagura laughed.

"What! What's so funny? This is serious business y'know."

"No it's nothing," Yagura said, wiping tears from his eyes.

Naruto glanced at his sensei.

"By the way, have you eaten yet?"

Yagura shrugged, "Sure."

Naruto shook his head, "No you haven't, don't lie to me, here!" he said, pushing the cup of ramen towards Yagura, "You have this one, I'll make another one."

Naruto stood and made his way towards the kitchen and made another cup of ramen for himself before joining Yagura once more.

A while later, both had finished their cup and Naruto disposed of the trash.

"So, do you eat ramen often?" Yagura asked.

"Well I wouldn't say often, but it is one of the best foods ever, no wait, it is the best food of all time, so yeah, I eat it occasionally," Naruto explained, to a sceptical looking sensei.

"Well then why is you're cupboard almost full of ramen only?"

"Oh um... you saw that?" Naruto said, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, "Okay, maybe I eat it more than occasionally, who cares?"

"You're going to care, because after my training, not only are you going to need plenty of rest but you're also going to need a good diet."

"Uh and ramen isn't a good diet?"

"No!"

Naruto sighed, "This sucks."

"Let's go!" Yagura shouted, standing.

"Go? Go where?" Naruto asked in confusion, but followed his sensei's lead and stood.

"You'll see," Yagura said as he began walking to the door.

"I should've been expecting this," Naruto muttered.

"Yes, you should have," His sensei replied.

They stood in training area 11 together- a very happy looking Yagura along with his not so happy apprentice.

"Okay, today we're going to do some sparring," Yagura announced.

Naruto sighed and nodded, "Sure, but who am I sparring against?"

Yagura grinned, "Me!"

Naruto looked at his sensei with wide eyes, "You?" he asked in surprise.

"Is that a problem?"

"Of course there's a problem!" He said in exasperation, "How am I supposed to spar against the Mizukage?"

"Shhh, not so loud. Listen, it's not like I'll go all out, that'll will probably kill you," Yagura said the last part under his breath but Naruto heard it.

"What! Kill me? Are you crazy?"

Yagura sighed, "So that's why I'm not going to use my full power, I'll be at 20% power."

"15%!" Naruto said.

"What?"

"15% power or I'm not going against you," he said stubbornly.

Yagura rolled his eyes, "Fine, but I will increase or decrease the amount of power I use throughout our spar."

Naruto nodded in relief.

"Now, we will begin, so," Yagura narrowed his eyes, causing Naruto to stiffen, "Prepare yourself, Naruto!"

Naruto quickly jumped away from his sensei and watched him.

Yagura nodded in approval, "Let's begin."

No sooner had the words left his mouth that he ran towards Naruto who dropped into the basic stance taught at the academy and prepared to block any incoming attack.

"Getting away from me at the beginning was good," Yagura said as he reached Naruto and sent a blow aimed at his stomach with his right hand.

Naruto blocked the blow with both his arms but flinched as Yagura shouted, "Baka! Don't use both hands to stop a single handed attack from the enemy, you're wide open now."

Naruto looked to his left but was too late to stop Yagura's incoming attack and was knocked to the ground.

"Stand up," Yagura ordered, towering over Naruto, who gulped but quickly stood, "We will continue."

Naruto tried to jump away from his sensei, but he didn't give him the chance, Yagura was already attacking.

Naruto tried to attack but couldn't as Yagura's blows were too fierce and too fast for him to attack and all he could do was defend. Before long, Naruto was on the ground again and out of breath.

"Sensei, this is... too hard," he wheezed.

Yagura hummed, "I agree, but that was just the beginning so I could see your potential..."

Naruto gasped, "Beginning?"

"So, I'll use less power now," Yagura continued, "and I'll also give you some pointers to help. Alright, let's continue."

"Fine," Naruto grumbled, while standing up.

They began to spar again but now all Naruto could hear was his own breath and Yagura's voice.

"Left arm up to block while right arm attacks! Use your legs, they aren't there for decoration! Move your body to dodge; you aren't glued to the ground!"

They continued to spar for a long time before Yagura suddenly stopped and said, "I think that's enough for today."

Naruto dropped onto the ground and sighed in relief, "Finally, I'm tired." Naruto's stomach growled, "I'm hungry too."

Yagura laughed.

"Alright, we'll go eat, my treat, anywhere you want to go?"

"Ichiraku's!" Naruto shouted.

"Ichiraku?" he echoed, "Never heard of it."

"It's only the best place to go eat ever!"

Yagura smirked, "Oh really?"

"Yeah!" Naruto nodded enthusiastically.

"Well let's go."

Naruto lead the way to Ichiraku's while Yagura was following behind. Suddenly, Naruto stopped and pointed, "There it is!" he announced.

Yagura looked to where he was pointing and sighed, "Its ramen?"

"Yeah what's wrong with that?"

"You had ramen for breakfast, eating it again is not good diet."

Naruto sighed, "Really?"

"We can have ramen next time but today we'll have something else."

"Fine," Naruto grumbled.

So now Yagura was leading and Naruto was following behind before they stopped in front of a BBQ place.

Naruto sighed again, "This place?"

Yagura raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong with this place?"

"N-nothing."

Yagura hesitated, he could see Naruto was reluctant to go inside but he didn't know why.

"Okay then, let's go in."

Yagura walked into the restaurant, Naruto trailing a few steps behind him, his head bowed.

The man at front desk turned around and smiled, "Ah customers, welc-" he stopped midsentence and the smile dropped off his face, "What are you doing here?" he asked Naruto, with a scowl.

Naruto stiffened but even without looking up he could tell that he was the one being addressed.

Now Yagura understood why Naruto didn't like this place, it was one of those places, where people didn't accept him.

Stepping in between Naruto and the man Yagura smiled and said, "Well actually he's with me, that isn't a problem, right?"

The man looked up at Yagura and said, "Listen, don't let that kid follow you, he's no good."

Yagura narrowed his eyes, "I don't really care, now, we'll be having two..." but he was cut off.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but we don't serve him," the man said stubbornly.

Yagura was angry now, he glared at the man and said, "You will serve us." his voice low and threatening.

The men gulped and nodded, "Fine, come this way."

Leading them through the restaurant Yagura saw the other customers look up and glare or whisper to each other while pointing to Naruto.

Suddenly, Naruto walked up to his sensei and grabbed onto his arm. Yagura was surprised but noticed that Naruto looking upset and uncomfortable.

'I forgot how young he is, maybe this was a bad idea.'

"You think?" Isobu said.

Finally reaching a table, that was in an empty part of the restaurant, Yagura ordered for the both of them. The man walked away leaving Naruto and Yagura alone.

They sat down and Yagura spoke, "Naruto, I'm sorry, we shouldn't have come here."

Naruto looked up and shook his head, "Nah, it's okay sensei. To tell you the truth I've always wanted to come here, apparently the food tastes really good."

"But the service is terrible," Yagura muttered.

"I'm used to it," Naruto said solemnly

Yagura shook his head, "It's not something you should get used to, especially at your age and since you're..." he trailed off but thought, 'The Yondaime's son.'

Naruto looked up in confusion, "I'm what?"

"You're a great student," he said smiling.

Naruto smiled too, "Thanks sensei."

The man came back with their order and placed it on the table, "Enjoy," he said, looking only at Yagura and completely ignoring Naruto.

He walked away, leaving Naruto and Yagura.

"How dare he!" Yagura hissed.

"Sensei, don't get angry," Naruto forced a smile, "I'm fine."

"Naruto don't fake smiles around me," Yagura said, looking a shocked Naruto in the eyes, "I don't like it."

Naruto nodded, dropping the smile, "Sorry sensei."

They ate in silence and left the restaurant in silence, however, when they left the restaurant Naruto spoke, "That was really good."

Yagura nodded, "I guess."

They made their way to Naruto's apartment and stopped at the front door.

Naruto opened the door and smiled, "Thanks for the meal sensei."

Yagura sighed, "Naruto I said I don't like your fake smiles."

Naruto nodded and dropped the smile, "I know sensei but if I don't smile I think I'll..." Tears filled his eyes and began to slide down his cheeks.

"I'm sorry sensei. I'm sorry that I'm so weak."

"Naruto..."

Naruto felt warm arms wrap around him.

"You're not weak Naruto, you're very strong."

"Why does everyone hate me?" Naruto sobbed, "I haven't done anything wrong."

"They just don't understand."

They stood there for a while before Naruto stepped away from Yagura.

"Thank you, sensei."

"You don't have to thank me."

"No, I do." Naruto said, "Thank you."

After that Yagura left Naruto's apartment, however, he had one thought in his mind.

'I'm going to get him out of here.'
