Chapter 26: Who Can't Say No To Money? (Part Eight)

At the roof of a building, Naruto reappeared with Fu and Kurama after his battle with the hunters. Naruto demanded "Start talking."

Fu glared with her arms cross "I'm not talking unless you're talking."

"Ever heard of ladies first?" The dark skinned girl then increases her glare at the crimefighter. Finally, Naruto sighed in defeat.

"I receive these powers a month ago. My partner, Kurama, give me these powers after he escape from Roots Labs. I have been using them to fight crime and other metahumans like that guy from Iwa. I suppose you heard of that?" Naruto said, making Fu loses her glare and nodded.

"He told you his story." Kurama added. "Now you, beginning with your little friend inside that sweater."

Fu then unzipped her jacket and hold Chomei after releasing from her 'sister's' chest. "Chomei, show them." She said.

Both Naruto and Kurama then shield their eyes from a light that is being suddenly appear from the insect's body. When the light was gone, Chomei revealed her true form; A blue, armoured kabutomushi with six of its seven tails that resemble green insect wings. The stem of the tail is green is green and the wings are orange. Its eyes seem to be covered by a helmet-like skull, from inside, there's an orange glow. It has spiky protrusions on its shoulders and a row of slits of each shoulder, and three legs on each side. The legs are also covered by the blue armour with the exception of extreme ends which are green. Lastly, it has two pincers with three parts on its face, covering a mouth full of sharp teeth.

The rhinoceros beetle introduces "My name is Chomei. I'm Fu-chan's sister."

"Sister?" Naruto repeated.

"She's like my sister, and a friend as well." Fu translated as she stands next to her. She then begin her tale.

"Back at Taki, I was very lonely. I didn't had a single friend because of the way that I talk, and dresses. The girls laugh at me, thinking that I'm some boy in drags. The boys find me weird. The only two people I can only trust were my parents. They even pull pranks on me, saying that they'll be my friend if I do something they ask. I did, and they push me away or blame the problem on me. Even the girls' tricks were horrible. They push me, belittle me and throw my things on the ground. One day, I decided to skip school and explore the city. That's when I came to one of those abandoned laboratories and I meet Chomei."

Chomei turn her turn, "I was made by the scientists that work there. I was just a larval when they gather enough bugs. They're were attempting to build a radioactive bomb and tested us for for survival. But the bomb became unstable and it destroy the entire building, along with the insects. I, however, survive in the ground after escaping. When I came out of the dirt, I saw myself that my entire body had changed. The radioactive made me go through a fast metamorphosis. I then remain inside the lab, till she found me."

Fu added "And we became friends, and later sisters."

Naruto asked "And your powers?" It was then he saw her mood change drastically.

"The pollen that Chomei has were affected with the same radioactively. However, it didn't kill me. Rather, it give me powers. Since then, my school was attacked with random bug attacks and they had to fumigate the whole building. But they manage to leave, except a few got caught by the poison and it slowly weaken me."

Naruto then remembers how Kakuzu vaporizes some of the bugs and Fu reacted to their pain.

"I can control the bugs around me." Fu continues. "It means whatever they feel, I feel it as well. Eventually, my parents found out about it, and they ask me to hide it. But it was too late." Fu's orange eyes were leaking tears. "Somehow the town knew about my condition and Taki's troops came and took me away. My parents were later murdered because they knew about it."

Chomei nuzzle on her sister's right cheek to confirm her pain. Fu petted her in response. "They didn't get Chomei though. She hide from them. I was taken to a psychological hospital before Shibuki save me. Since then, he told me to stay behind his shadow and never see the outside world again."

Naruto felt bad about Fu. The constant reminder of being lonely and have nobody's respect was like how he had witness. "I'm sorry to hear that, Fu." He said.

"But I never listen to him." Fu said. "I always seek out and wanted to see the town once more. Shibuki told me that everyone wouldn't understand my new abilities. I know he can be a pain and tells me what I can't do, but he protects me from the old grazers who worked with him."

"The counsel?" Naruto asked. "What do they want with you?"

"I don't know, but if I even get caught by either of them or the troopers, they have the right to sent me back to the hospital." Fu said with a few tears dropping. "I hate it there! I can't stand of being treated like a freak! It's worse than people look at you because you were different! Can you imagine what is like?!"

"I do." Fu look at her new friend in surprise. "When I four years old, my mother was killed by a metahuman and my dad got blame for it. I saw what it was, and nobody believe me. Not even my friends knew about my old life. My classmates look at me like I was a nobody; someone from another homeland they're not familiar with. But I still have friends and family to back me up. I became a better person because I receive my powers. I used to believe that I will label being more than a freak, but I use them to help others and fight for this city."

Fu's mouth hung open as she stares at the blonde. She was like him, except he still has a family, even though his old one was destroyed, and friends for support. Fu asked "Now that we know who we are, what are we gonna do?"

"We?" Kurama repeated with Naruto looking at her confusion.

"I think we can team up together!" Fu smiled with determination. "You can't face Kakuzu and those two other hunters all by yourself! I save your life! With me and Chomei-neechan by you and Kurama's side, we have a chance of defeating them!"

"Don't think highly of it." Naruto answered. "Kakuzu is equaled with a suit that can easily take us down, even without Zabuza and that third hunter, and those two are stronger than us."

Chomei chimed "But you got outrun them!"

"Just barely. I can only dodge, punch, kick and use kunai blades at them."

Fu clicked under her mouth and muttered "That's suck. How about your team, if you have one."

Kurama roared "Naruto, don't even dare!"

"But she's one of us, dattebayo!"

"You have a team?!" The rhinoceros beetle cried.

"Sorta." Naruto hesitated. "But they can't show their powers in here." Then an idea pop on his head. He takes out a small card from his backside and a pen. "I know that I'm gonna get into trouble with this." He wrote down on it before handing it to Fu. "This is my contact information. If you see anything suspicious, report me. Don't go alone."

When she look at it, the orange dark skinned girl slowly said "Does this mean I'm your partner?"

"Sure." Naruto was then being hugged to death by her while shouting 'Thank you!' repeatedly before letting him go.

Chomei said "You won't regret this, Naruto-kun!" She and Fu, with her insect wings out, both flew out of the roof.

Both Naruto and Kurama watch them fly in amazement with the fox remarked "You know that girl is kinda cute, but still nowhere near as hot as your Hinata-hime, eh?"

He was then bonk on top of his head by the blonde, who angrily said "Shut up and get me home, baka kitsune!"

So I decided to keep the secret of Fu being a metahuman and teaming up from my family and senseis. Hinata, Kiba and Shino kept asking me about her, but I always keep it short. Nothing else.

I still haven't achieved anything new abilities beside my speed for five days. If I can used some of Kurama's power, maybe I can unlock it. However, they told me to not use it. I was given some tests, along with my pet.

My appearances of The Fox was kept to a minimum due to those assholes from Taki and the Uchihas as well. Itachi and Shisui were the only one who supported me of my actions.

Naruto is at the cafeteria with his friends with Kiba finally coming back with a deadpanned look on his face and rubbing his left cheek.

Shikamaru asked "What's with the look?"

"I got bitched slapped in the face for asking a girl to the dance."

Choji suddenly said "Oh, yeah. The Autumn Dance. It's this Friday." He turned to Sasuke, who was eating rice cakes. "Any your heart set on one, Sasuke?"

Sasuke's eyes look up and saw the multiple girls that has crushes on him, shouting and yelling at each other of who gets to date their lover. He shiver at the thought and answered "Nope."

Shikamaru lazily added "I'm not going, but my mom is making me go or I'll have to do some chores."

"That's sucks." Kiba grinned while Naruto laughed as he eat more of his ramen. He look at the blonde and said "Hey, Naruto. Why not ask Hinata to the dance?"

Naruto nearly spit out his food while Hinata was stiff as a statue and blush on her cheeks. Both of them turn their other heads around in embarrassment.

Shikamaru then flicked the Inuzuka's forehead with his fingers before saying "You idiot."

Kiba continues "All I'm saying that Hinata has gotten a lot of stares from the other guys and Naruto should man up and ask her out. Unless I'm do it first."

"You will not!" Naruto almost shouted before clapping his mouth shut with his two hands.

"Kiba-san," Shino said. "Stop persuading Naruto-san by asking out Hinata-san to the dance. Also, I would like to know if Fu-san is coming."

"Fu?" Choji asked while Shikamaru and Sasuke were intrigued.

"She is an orange dark skin chick whose father is the mayor of Taki." Kiba explained. "Naruto meet her a while ago. She's very nice and you should see her eat, Choji. She's like you and Naruto."

"I don't think a girl is interested in me." Choji sadly said while digging his load of bread. "Except one." His eyes look at the platinum blond at Yuki's table.

Shikamaru knew who he was referring to and answered "Choji, you know they're other girls out there for you."

"But not the same as her." His friend pat him on the shoulder for support, making the large Akimichi smiled.

Sasuke then look at his best friend as he resume eating. After learning his history, he wanted to help him more. But first, he wanted to tell Naruto the truth of what he had learn. He needed to wait for the perfect moment when he's alone.

After class has ended, Naruto rushes out and scan for Hinata. He tracks her moment by looking at the hallways, the classes and even at Kurenai's office.

Finally, the blonde spotted the Hyuga and shouted "Hinata-san!"

Hinata turn around to see her crush coming to her with the heating coming up at her cheeks. "Naruto-kun…" She said.

"I need to ask you something." Naruto was about to tell her, but saw the amount of people coming in and the sudden increase of talking. He then grabs her hand and went outside the school, not knowing her blush increases.

"Listen," Naruto slowly begin while rubbing the back of his head. "Did anyone ask you for the dance this Friday?"

Hinata answered "No." An idea came to her head. "Is he asking me out?! Don't you faint!"

"Good, good." It was Naruto's turn to blush. "Uh, if no one ask you, you mind…" He was struggling to get the right words out. "Go...with me...to...t-the...dance?"

Hinata's heart blossom on those words spoken by her crush. She nearly was about to faint, but kept her balance. Finally, she smiled "Yes, Naruto-kun."

Naruto smiled widely and shouted "Great! I mean, cool. I'll see you at the dance this Friday."

"And you as well." Hinata then enter back the building and walk away.

The blonde did a fist pump in the air before rushing back inside, which he saw Sasuke standing in front of him.

"What's with you, dobe?" He asked.

"I ask Hinata-chan to the dance and she said yes!"

"That's great. Listen, I need to tell you something."

"Tell me that later! I need to get home!" Naruto shouted before rushing away while cheering.

Sasuke then forces a smile to him before dropping down. "I'll tell him at the dance." He said before walking away.

Back at Danzo's lair, Haku lays in bed after Zabuza brought her in from their unsuccessful mission.

The large hunter walks inside, and saw Torume with a cardboard in his hands. "How is she?" Zabuza asked, his voice was with slight concern.

Torume explained. "She only receive some few broken ribs and a concussion. She'll wake up in a few hours."

Danzo then came in and said "I will like to speak with Zabuza-san alone." The Aburame nodded his head before leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

"I had heard from Kakuzu-san." The old man spoke. "There is another mutant. One that controls bugs like the Aburame family."

"This girl, is she related to your bodyguard?"

"Not certainly, but she can control the bugs and respond them to attack and she felt their pain."

Zabuza asked "Want me to find out more about her?"

"No. You need to take a break. Your partner nearly died." The large hunter grew angry.

"Because of him!" He started yelling. "Partner or not, I'm gonna gut his entire intestines out!"

"Relax, Zabuza-san." Danzo replied calmly, putting his hand up. "He'll face his punishment when I see him. Just stay with Haku-chan. She needs you." The old man then left the room, leaving Zabuza to look at his partner.

Kakuzu was upgrading his suit one piece in his secret room. A knock came made him stopped. Turning around, his boss went inside.

"I have spoken to Zabuza-san. He had told me about your attempted murder on Haku-chan." He said.

Kakuzu just scoffed "Ain't my fault the ice bitch got in the way. I was aiming at him."

"Regardless, you should treat both of them like your comrades." The ex-bounty hunter then rose up; his voice grew with venom.

"I don't work with anyone except me. I'm only here because of the money you will pay me after I deliver the blonde brat and Tsunade Senju's corpse."

"Your target is still Naruto Uzumaki, not The Fox." Dazno reminded, his other eye glared at him.

"This wouldn't had happened if he haven't interfered with my bounty!" Kakuzu shouted. "He, and that bug girl! You found out what she said?"

Danzo answered "All I know is that she posses the power to control every insect in Konoha like an Aburame, but she's isn't related to them."

"So how the hell is she a mutant?"

"Tell me what she look like."

"Sixteen. Dark orange skin. Orange eyes. Mint hair with a orange clip. Wears an orange sweater and khaki shorts."

"Is she a student from Konoha High?" Danzo asked.

"How the hell should I know?! She was with the blonde brat and three friends. I don't recall the two, but the third is a Hyuga."

"Interesting. I'll see what I can find in my spy network. I'll leave you with your work."

Danzo turn around, but Kakuzu quickly said "Not so fast, old man. You may had provided me with the suit from Taki's military, but it's not enough."

The old man sighed "What do you want?" The bounty hunter then handed him a small piece of paper, which he look at it. "Very well. I shall contact my spy into given me more supplies."

Kakuzu grinned "Excellent."

On Thursday evening, Naruto spill the news about him going to the dance with Hinata. "Woo-hoo!" Kiba shouted, drawing unwanted attention to the students at Yamato's Woodshop.

"Kiba, I'm drawing to sleep here." Shikamaru said with his eyes barely open.

Kiba put his arm around the blonde and continued "Congrats, man! You're finally going on a date with Hinata!"

Naruto pushes his arm off of him with a small blush as he said "Thanks, dattebayo."

Choji asked while building a birdhouse "How did you get her to say yes?"

"I just say the right words and she said yes."

"Just like that?" Kiba said in surprise. "You didn't flirt with her or she didn't flirt with you of going to the dance?" Naruto shakes his head negatively, making him scoff under his breath. "Lucky."

Sasuke smirked "Did you had trouble of finding someone to go to the dance?"

"What?" Kiba started lying. "I got plenty of chicks wanting to go out with me; I just haven't made a decision yet."

Shino then asked "Then why did I saw you getting slap in the face by a girl?" Both Choji and Naruto laugh while Sasuke chuckled and Shikamaru lightly laugh, making Kiba scowled. The Aburame also laugh under his collar.

Their laughter soon ended when an unexpected voice call out. "You're going with Hinata, Naruto?"

The boys turn around and saw Sakura standing in front of them. Kiba then glared "The hell you want?"

Ignoring the tone, Sakura said "I was just overhearing what Naruto's been talking about-"

"You had no right of hearing our conversation. You ain't one of us in our gang."

Sakura saw the glares being thrown at her; it pains her heart. Even more when her two former friends are giving the look.

Gulping nervously, the rosette added "Well, I just thought I wanted to give Naruto the heads up on Neji."

Naruto answered "I don't have to worry about him. I'm taking Hinata to the dance, and he can't stop me or her."

"Just be careful, Naruto." She finished, shocking the boys and turn back to her seat.

Choji lean over Shikamaru and whispered "What was that about?"

"Don't know." He shrugged his shoulders.

"Maybe she wanted to scare Naruto about Neji." Kiba slightly growled.

Both Sasuke and Naruto were having thoughts in their heads. This was Sakura Haruno, Konoha hyperactive fangirl on Sasuke Uchiha. She was careless and selfish over people's feelings and concerns. Now she's warning Naruto about Neji? What is up with that? Since when did she start caring about others again?

When Sakura return back to her seat, Ino started "Why were you talking to them?"

"I was just telling them about Neji since Naruto's going to the dance with Hinata." Sakura said.

One of the fangirls said in surprise "The loser is going out with the Hyuga geek?"

Yuki snorted "I'm not surprise since she has feelings for him. Those losers belong together." Then a smirk came to her face. "I'm hope Neji sees them together and beat that nerd to the ground."

"How about we should call him as an anonymous tip?" One of the girls suggested.

The rosette slightly glared "Don't you think you're going a bit far on this?"

Yuki shoot her a look and added "Since when you start giving a crap about that loser?"

Ino also shoot her a look at the leader and said "Can you all just stop doing this to Naruto? He's not gonna take any of this. You're only making this less worse."

"I'm not gonna stop until I see that loser wallowing in his own filth when Neji deals with him. I'm gonna be at that dance with my camera out." Yuki's loyal subjects all agree on the plan of destroying Naruto's reputation.

However, both Sakura and Ino became disgusted over her antics and slightly pray that their former friends don't hate them even more when this unfortunate event happens to the blonde friend.

It was finally Friday night. At Naruto's house, Jiraiya is struggling with his tied; the only thing he is wearing other than his casual suit.

"I don't see why we have to chaperone the kid's dance." He complained. His fingers already messing up the fabric.

"You heard what Ibiki said." Tsunade was wearing a long light green dress with her jacket on due to the fact that it show her large cleavage, but expose her beautiful legs. She didn't want no hormonal boys staring at her chest or try to grope her, like that's gonna let that happen. That's her ex-husband hobby. She saw him trying to get his tie on, making her roll her eyes and chuckle lightly.

She walk to him and prepare the tying. She continues "From what Naru-chan told us, Kakuzu is now teaming with Zabuza Momochi and his assistant. We have to be there for his protection, and everyone else's."

"Hime, the kid's got this. His training is basically the same, but he'll improve in no time." Jiraiya said.

Up at his room, Naruto was fixing up his tuxedo, a black and white suit. He wanted to wear something with orange, but his godmother and sister refuses to let him wear something casual for his first dance with Hinata.

Fixing up his black tie, he turn around and said "How do I look?"

"You look amazing, kit." Kurama lazily said while sleeping on the blonde's bed.

"Come on. This is my first dance with Hinata-chan, dattebayo." Naruto reminded. "Be more respected."

"I know. You been saying that for the seventh time since she said yes." The fox gets up and lands on the floor. "Don't forget I'm protecting your ass."

"You don't have to tell me twice, dattebayo." Naruto replied before grabbing the large bag and putting his fox inside.

Walking down the stairs, he proclaimed "You guys ready?"

"We're ready." Jiraiya said with his tie fix up.

Shizune walk out of the kitchen, wearing a black dress and high heel shoes like Tsunade. The dress may be too small, but it does show some ample cleavage and her long slender legs. Tonton was behind her as well.

"You look wonderful, neechan." Naruto commented.

Shizune beamed "Thank you, Naruto-kun."

Then a wolf-like whistle was heard. Everyone look down at the bag, where Kurama was leering at the black raven women.

"Damn, you have fine sexy legs, vixen." He smiled perversely, making Shizune blushed and Tsunade held a vein over her forehead. Jiraiya laugh under his breath.

Naruto got steamed and Tonton, being pissed off, suddenly walk up to the bag and hit it with her head, making him yelp. "Thanks, Tonton-chan." The teenager replied, making the piglet snorted cutely.

"We're gonna be late." Jiraiya said.

"Wait!" Tsunade cried before going at her godson. She then fixes his blonde hair while saying "You got a strand of hair, sweetheart."

"Obachan, come on!" Naruto started complaining.

"You have to look perfect for your big date, Naru-chan." Tsunade said in a sweet tone.

"It's just a dance." Naruto was slightly bonk on the head.

"It's not just a dance! This dance is gonna make you and Hinata-chan look so adorable together!" Tsunade dramatically sigh while she envision her godson dating the Hyuga.

"Okay, Tsunade." Jiraiya said, putting his hand on her shoulder to stop daydreaming. "You embarrassed the boy. Let's go."

The white haired old man then open the door, letting the entire family go out the door.

At Konoha High, the dance was being take place at the gymnasium. The theme of the song was random, something from the 80s. The students were either dancing with each other or by themselves or talking with a friend.

The faculty staff were there, watching the students and secretly eyeing on Naruto for protection. It was going well; there was no trouble. Not yet.

Naruto was at a table with his friends. The only one who wasn't here was Hinata, who the blonde couldn't wait to dance with her.

Shikamaru complained "Man, this dance is already boring me."

"You just came here thirty minutes ago." Kiba joked.

"My mom force me to go and say don't come back till it's over. So troublesome."

Choji was eating down his eighth cupcake with two in his hand. Shino was being like himself. Sasuke was avoiding his fangirls, who were eagerly to dance with their crush. Kiba was attempting to flirt with the opposite gender, which result getting slap in the face.

Naruto then saw Neji, Lee and Tenten a few tables on the other side. Fortunately, he was glad he was glaring at him or knowing that his cousin is going to the dance.

"I hope Hinata-chan is here." Naruto thought in his hand.

"Naruto!" The blonde turn around and saw, to his surprise, Fu. She immediately rushes over to the table and added "Hi, friend!"

Kiba grinned "Hey, Fu!"

Shikamaru, Choji and Sasuke were confuse of the dark orange skinned girl. The Uchiha said "Who's she?"

Shino answered "This is Fu-san. She's the daughter of the mayor from Taki. Naruto meet her over a week ago."

Each of the three friends give out their names to Fu. "I'm Shikamaru Nara."

"Choji Akimichi."

"Sasuke-"

Fu interrupted "I know who you are. You're an Uchiha. Your father's the chief."

"What are you doing here?" Shino asked.

"I heard from Naruto that there's a dance at his school and wishes me to go there. So I got myself a dress and here I am!" Fu was wearing a light orange green shirt with low mint heels.

From across the room, the staff and Naruto's new family were across at a table as they scan him.

Jiraiya leans at the principal and asked "Who's the girl? Is she a new student?"

"I never seen her before." Ibiki said.

Shizune added "But Naruto-kun knows her."

Anko remarked "I have never seen a girl with orange skin. Was she born this way or is she an oompa loompa?"

Kurenai then elbow her in the ribcage, making her yelp in pain.

Ibiki then leans over to Yamato and said "Find out what you can about her." The woodshop teacher nodded his head and rose up from his seat to investigate.

Fu was chowing down on her third chocolate cake as she explain "My dad is the mayor of Taki. He's very important back home. However, that doesn't mean he won't let me have any fun. He won't let go explore the city for no more than ten minutes. He doesn't even know that I'm here."

"Yet he never taught you any table manners." Sasuke remarked.

Naruto leans over to his best friend and added "You should seen her eat a plate of barbeque meat, dattebayo."

Unknown to them, Yamato was overhearing their conversation while leaning against the wall. He then walk back to his comrades booth.

Iruka asked "Anything?"

Clearing his throat, Yamato revealed "Her name is Fu. She's the daughter of Shibuki, the mayor of Taki. Apparently, she has sneak out from her home and came here."

Kakashi said "Shall we call Shibuki?"

"That's gonna be a problem. Shibuki doesn't know she's here, and Fu-san doesn't always seen the world due to her father being overly protected."

"Sounds like someone has daddy issues." Anko said, drinking her punch. "I say let the girl have her fun. When the dance is over, we'll drag her ass back to Shibuki."

Tsunade asked "How did Naru-chan meet her? More importantly, why didn't he introduce her to us?"

"Maybe he's embarrassed by you."

"Anko!" Kurenai scolded.

Fu asked "Say, where's Hinata?"

Kiba was about to answer her statement, but his eyes lock on someone at the door and said with a grin slowly appearing at his face "Dude." He slap lightly at Naruto.

Naruto look at his direction and his cerulean blue eyes nearly bugged out as he saw the most beautiful thing in the world.

Hinata came through the door, wearing a long sparkling lavender dress with heels matching her outfit. The dress appear to be one/sixth too small as it hug her curves just right.

The boys all had their mouths dropped down even Fu was staring at her with sparkling glaze eyes. Kurama's head rose up from his bag with his jaw open wide and red-orange eyes locking at the princess.

The staff and the blonde's family were surprise and awed at Hinata's beauty. Kurenai felt proud at her daughter figure.

"Doesn't she look amazing?" She said with a small smile.

Snapping out of his daze, Kiba nudges "Go to her, man." He tap on Naruto's back a few times before he finally rise up and walk up to her.

"You look lovely, Hinata-san." Naruto commented with a small blush.

Hinata's blush was shown greater than the blonde. She nervously replied "Thank you, Naruto-kun."

Her eyes trail at Fu, who quickly waved and said "I see Fu-san is here."

"Yeah, she wanted to see this as well. The dance, I mean." Naruto compose himself. The two of them then had an awkward moment for a while before he finally asked "Will you...like to...dance?" His blush slowly deepens.

Hinata smile and extend her hand to him, which the blonde took it. At the same time, the song Fooled Around and Fell in Love By Elvin Bishop started to play.

The two of them then walk over to the dance floor with the other students were all dancing with their mates. Naruto grab Hinata's hand and the other around her waist.

I must have been through about a million girls

I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em alone

I didn't care how much they cried, no sir

Slowly, they each took a step back and moving forward in a rhythm.

Their tears left me cold as a stone

But then I fooled around and fell in love

I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did

I fooled around and fell in love

Naruto smile at her, who reply smile back. They were at their focus. Locking eyes with each other as they dance together.

I fooled around and fell in love

It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked

"You know I love this song." Hinata said.

"Me too. That's why I have it at my walkman." Naruto replied back, making her giggle lightly. The blonde spins her around a little.

I'd get out my book and write down her name

Ah, but when the, the grass got a little greener on the other side

I'd just tear out that page

Naruto's friends look at the two with smiles in their faces. Fu almost lay out tears of seeing her first friend dance. In the inside, she was a little jealous of seeing this little romantic scene. She wishes she has someone for her and love her for who she is.

On top of the gymnasium, Chomei was up there by the time her sister came inside. She cooed at the blonde dancing with the Hyuga before looking at Fu. She senace that this was making her envy because she wants someone to love her.

I fooled around and fell in love

I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby

I fooled around and fell in love

I fooled around and fell in love

The faculty staff look at the two with pride and smiles in their faces. Gai was gushing tears of seeing this youthful scene. Tsunade was cooing as the same with Shizune as the two were loving on how their favorite blonde is dancing with his crush. Kurenai was the same, so was Anko.

Jiraiya remarked "The kid's doing okay out there." Then a leech smiled appear in his face. "Perhaps if he moves his hand slowly down-"

He was meet with a punch across the face by Tsunade, who was focusing at the scene.

Yuki and her minions were surprise of seeing Naruto dancing with Hinata. Most of them admitted that it was nice and sweet. Even Sakura and Ino felt admiration for the two.

Yuki, however, scoffed before drinking her punch "Whatever, he's still a loser."

Tenten sighed lovely "It's sweet that Hinata is finally dancing with Naruto-san."

Lee shouted while tears were falling from his eyes "IT'S SO YOUTHFUL!"

Neji wasn't happy. His white pupil less eyes were glaring at Naruto. Him dancing with Hinata. How dare he! He thought to himself venomously. How dare he try to humiliate me more?!

He couldn't take it anymore. He rise up from his seat just as when Naruto and Hinata were leaning on a kiss.

Free, on my own is the way I used to be

Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me

It's got a hold on me now

"Unhand Hinata-sama, Uzumaki!" Neji grabs the blonde's arm and jerk it away from her.

"Neji-niisan!" Hinata cried.

"Uh-oh." Jiraiya said while Kurenai and Gai rose up to stop this. Shizune and Asuma were both holding down Tsunade, who is trying to kill Neji for ruining her godson's dance.

Kiba muttered "Shit." Kiba muttered before he and the entire gang went to them.

I can't let go of you baby…

The song was stopped. Everyone was facing at Neji and Naruto. Almost all of them got their phones out to record the fight. Even Yuki and a few girls started taking out theirs as well.

Gai scolded "Neji, this is unyouthful!"

"You all stay out of this." Neji glared at them before eyeing at Naruto. "And you stay away from her!"

Naruto yelled with Kurenai holding him "I can dance with Hinata-san anytime I want, teme! You don't own her! You can't control her life, dattebayo!"

"How dare you!" Neji replied, pulling back a fist and bringing it back. Lee suddenly grabs it.

"Enough, Neji-kun!" He shouted. Tenten came behind him, ready to stop her crush of fighting again.

"Get out of my way, Lee."

Ibiki then stands in from at him and spoke furiously "Hyuga, if you don't want to lose your presidently, I suggest you leave Naruto-san and your cousin alone. Otherwise, I'll have you remove from this dance."

Neji only glared at the blonde before seeing his sensei and principle standing there. A few seconds later, he scowled "Fine." The fist that Lee was holding was dropped down.

He then exit out of the building with doors slam open before shutting.

Tenten only sighed "Neji-kun." She and Lee then went after their friend.

Ibiki addresses everyone "Sorry for the commotion, everybody. You can enjoy your dancing."

The dance resume, but with a different song.

Naruto expresses his concerns to his crush "I'm sorry about that, Hinata-san."

"It's alright, Naruto-kun." She replied with a small blush.

"Do you want to keep dancing?"

Then Kurenai appear saying "Actually, me and Anko need to talk with Hinata if you don't mind, Naruto-san."

"Go ahead." Naruto watches his crush being drag by her sister figure and the purple haired lady.

He then walk back to the table with his friends behind him. Kiba put his arm around him, saying "Dude, you just dance with Hinata-san and didn't get his ass kick by Neji!"

Naruto added "Told you I wasn't worry."

Shino said "Sakura-san was right about Neji coming here and make a scene."

"Who's Sakura?" Fu asked curiously.

Choji pointed at the rosette looking bored as well as Ino as well at Yuki's table. "That's her. Talking to Ino Yamanaka. She's Naruto and Sasuke's friend. Ino was somewhat our friend."

Shikamaru added "But not anymore."

Sasuke corrected "Ex- friend."

Shino added to Fu "There were some problems between them a while back. Right now, they're not speaking to each other."

Noticing the atmosphere changes, Kiba cried "What's with the sudden mood? This is a dance! Let's dance with some chicks!"

"Fu, will you like to dance?" Shino asked, holding his hand in front of her.

Fu beamed with excitement and drag his hand to the dance floor, surprising his friends.

"That was quick for Shino to make a move on Fu." Choji remarked.

"Aw, man! I wanted to dance with her!" Kiba whined before his black eyes look on a group of girls chatting. A dog like grin appear in his face. "Excuse me, gentleman. My mates are calling me." He then walk over to them.

Shikamaru rolled his eyes, saying "Troublesome. Wake me up when this dance is over." He goes back to the table and slept.

Choji only chuckled before adding "I'm gonna keep an eye on him...after I get some more cake." He goes over to the buffet table.

Naruto joked to Sasuke "Want me to protect you from your pack?"

Sasuke only laugh a little, but he remembers why he had came here. And since they're alone together, he can finally tell him the truth.

"Naruto, I need to speak with you for a moment." Sasuke said. "But not here."

Naruto raises an eyebrow before he follow Sasuke's direction to the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom, Sasuke locked the door and walk over to each stall to see if there was anyone else.

Naruto asked as he leans against the sink "What do you want to talk about, dattebayo?"

The raven haired Uchiha then leans his back against the wall with his arm cross and giving him a look. "I know who your parents are." He said.

Naruto's eyes widen in shock and a horrible thought came to him. How did he know?! He said, swallowing a hard lump "Uh, I don't know-"

"Don't lie to me. Your mother's name was Kushina Uzumaki, and your father is Minato Namikaze."

"Shit." He curses under his breath. His voice go ups at his friend. "How did you know?"

"I was looking for information about you, and Itachi give me a police file on your mother. I know what happened to her." Sasuke explained.

"So...does this mean…?" Naruto slowly asked.

"I don't believe what everyone say. I don't know anything about your father, but I know he didn't killed your mother. You saw the murderer. Clearly, you can tell me what he look like."

"He wasn't like anyone, Sasuke. This man is a metahuman." He answered, surprising Sasuke.

"A metahuman...killed your mother? I don't understand." It was time for Naruto to tell the truth.

He walk over to him and said "What am I gonna tell you is a secret. You can't tell anyone. Not even Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, Shino and Hinata." Sasuke nodded his head.

But before he could say more, they were both started by a loud explosion.

"The hell was that?" Sasuke said. Naruto quickly went to the door, unlock it and open it, only to see Kakuzu, Zabuza and the ice huntress.

Everyone started running away or lean against something for protection. Kakuzu's electricity whips got a table and throw it across the gymnasium.

Kurama ran to his master and quickly went inside before Naruto close the door. He cried "It's them again!"

Sasuke said, taking out his phone "I'm calling Itachi!"

"There's no time. Sorry you're about to see this, Sasuke. Kurama, get ready." Naruto look at the fox, which he started reply back, shocking Sasuke.

"You got it, kit." Naruto tap on the fox's head and a flash of orange light surrounded them before dying down, revealing the blonde in his crimefighter suit.

Sasuke's jaw was half open of seeing his best friend's true alter ego. "Naruto...you…"

Naruto commented "Stay here!" He disappear in an orange flash.

Kakuzu fired multiple rubber bullets, Zabuza swings his heavy sword around and Haku froze the floor with her ice powers.

The students were all slipping against the hard ground. Kiba and the gang were ducking cover on a table.

Fu heard Chomei's voice in her head. "Where's Naruto-kun?!"

Kakuzu scan the area and his dark eyes saw Tsunade. "Perfect." He smile evilly before walking to them.

Tsunade stand her ground as her godson's assassin came, saying "Where's your brat, Senju?"

"Like hell am I gonna tell you." She growled. Kakuzu raises his whip, but he was kick in the chest by The Fox.

He turn to them in his disguise voice and shouted "You need to escort everyone out of here!"

Shizune grab hold of her master while Jiraiya shouted "Just be careful!"

While they went out and escort the students, Kakuzu roared as he raises his right arm and fires a small missile.

Naruto jumped and slide kick the villain in the helmet, making him take a few steps back.

Zabuza saw Kakuzu fighting the crimefighter before looking at the students trying to leave. "Haku," He said to her apprentice. "Freeze the doors."

Haku conjure her hands before firing a ice beam on the doors, completely freezing them.

Sasuke watches as his friend battles the assassin inside the weapon suit before glancing at the students, screaming and pleading for help.

Kurama cried "Hey, the kit said to stay put!"

"I can't sit here and do nothing." He said to himself before leaving the bathroom.

Haku fire icicles at the crimefighter, who quickly took out his tri-kunai blade and deflect some of it.

Zabuza charges with his heavy sword as he raises it up. The Fox quickly flashes to safety, but was met with a laser beam at his chest. It didn't hurt, but it stings.

Meanwhile, the staff were trying to break down the frozen covered door without using their powers in front of the students.

Anko curses as she felt the sudden cold being from around her body when she touches the handle "Shit, it's too cold!"

Meanwhile, Neji, Tenten and Lee were outside of the hallways after the two friends retrieve the temper Hyuga. They come back after the hunters came inside.

Tenten try to open the door, but when she touches the handles, she yelp as she felt the coldness "The doors are frozen shut!"

Lee screamed "Our fellow students are trapped inside by those hunters! We have to call the police!"

"That won't help." Neji answered. "We need to break down the door. Tenten, we need-" His eyes widen when she came back with an ax in her hand.

"Luckily, I always carry a ax in my locker." She started chopping down the frozen doors, which broken the surface of it.

"Lee, come with me to the principal's office." Neji said to his friend.

"No can't do, Neji-kun!" Lee said with fire in his eyes. "I must save Gai sensei and everyone else's! I must help The Fox to defeat those unyouthful hunters!"

Neji then drag him by the collar and ran to Ibiki's office while Tenten is focusing on breaking the ice.

The Fox lands on a table, which completely break by his impact after Zabuza punch him on an opening.

The large hunter chuckled evilly before raising his blade at him. But then, a chair was thrown at him, messing up his shot.

His dark eyes look up to see Sasuke, and Kakuzu replied "An Uchiha. Helping a mutant?" He raises his arm and fire three missiles at him.

Sasuke dodges them all as he rans. The ex-bounty hunter then fires bullets from his lower wrist.

Kiba shouted as he saw him "What the hell is he doing?!"

The Uchiha then slide down behind a table. He quickly dig his suit jacket and took out a caliber pistol. Before leaving to the dance, his father give him the gun for protection. He check to see if it has enough bullets, even though it won't killed someone with extraordinary abilities.

Sasuke then fire his gun at Kakuzu, which the bullets ricochet off due to his suit. He turn the gun on Zabuza, who deflect it with his sword.

Haku the fire inside. Sasuke duck back down and lean back as they stab the table. Kakuzu's right shoulder activate another missile and fired at the wall, hoping to scare the Uchiha of coming out of his hiding place.

"Damn it!" He curses under his breath. Years of practicing on how fire a pistol with Itachi was going to waste if he doesn't have a clear shot.

The Fox, pissed off that Sasuke didn't stay put, got up and punch Zabuza in the face, but he grabs it and slam him to the ground.

The sword was lifted up and brought down to his level. The Fox roll over to avoid the attack and throw ninja stars at him, which didn't quite had a huge affect.

Fu saw Sasuke trying to have a clear shot on the three hunters. Her orange eyes trail up at the spotlights above before she got an idea.

"Chomei," She connected to her sister. "I need to bite at some of the wires from the spotlights."

"On it!"

Chomei secretly fly at the nearest spotlight that's closely to Zabuza is standing and bit the wire.

Fu then secretly whisper to the bugs around the room and they fly to each of their targets.

Sasuke was being slightly attack by the insects and try to wave it with his hand. They weren't going away. It was like they were trying to tell him something. His dark eyes look up and saw the dangling spotlight that was close to be fallen off right at where Zabuza will be standing. He aim his pistol at the loose wire.

The bugs attack Zabuza, partially blinding him. The Fox then look at the spotlight and back at the hunter.

Increasing his right hand with Kurama's power, he sent it at his large chest, making take a few steps back.

Sasuke fire a single bullet at the wire, snapping it. The spotlight falls down right Zabuza. The impact sent him on his knees and The Fox kick him across the face, knocking him out.

"Zabuza!" Haku cried. Another bullet pierced her arm. She clutches it in pain and was on the ground.

Sasuke finally got out of his place and warned while pointing his pistol "Leave or else."

"And take your friend." The Fox added, pointing at Zabuza's unconscious body. The apprentice went to her master's side.

"Fall back." She said to Kakuzu, whom he didn't listen to her word.

The ex-bounty hunter then look at The Fox before glancing at the Uchiha. He laughed slightly "You think you can become allies with a mutant? You're willing to protect him for the trouble he is causing this city? Your entire family despite mutants, and here you are, protecting one. You're a disgrace, brat."

"Don't make me ask you twice. Either leave or another spotlight is coming down on you."

"Like hell." He growled while one of his whips was powered up. "If you want to protect a mutant, then maybe you oughta be one!"

The whip then hit Sasuke across the face, knocking him to the ground, shocking everyone in the gym.

"Sasuke!" The Fox shouted before looking at Kakuzu. "You bastard!"

Haku then conjured up an ice wind around her, Zabuza, and Kakuzu. The Fox shield himself from the sudden wind.

When it was done, he saw the they were gone as well.

The Fox quickly went to Sasuke, who was clutching in pain and covering his eyes with both hands.

"Sasuke." He said.

Kiba and the gang went by his side, so did Tsunade and Kakashi. Shikamaru shouted "Someone call the hospital!"

The doors open up and Tenten finally went in before seeing that the three hunters were gone and Sasuke was on the ground.

"What happened?" She asked.

"Sasuke got hurt by Kakuzu." Kakashi told her. "Have you call the police?"

"Neji and Lee are doing it. They should come here any moment."

The Fox could only stare at his best friend, who was injured because of him. Sasuke.

Okay, so I had to improvised Fu's backstory since there wasn't much in the anime series. First, the song during Naruto and Hinata's dance was Fooled Around and Fell in Love By Elvin Bishop. I don't own the song nor the anime by the way. I first heard of it from the movie Guardians of the Galaxy. If you are a fan of the Marvel movie or don't know the song, go and listen to it. Now onto Sasuke's powers. I notice that a few are complaining of him having Daredevil's powers. I look over to the Sharingan on the website, and nothing came up with an idea. So I decided to give him Cyclops' powers. Since the Sharingan became active whenever some felt their love ones killed or protect someone dearly, I figure that if Sasuke's were damage, it could make him a metahuman and beams could be fire from his eyes. But he had to close his eyes. Also, I don't know how Cyclops got his powers since it didn't explain much in Wikipedia. Does it work out with anyone of you all? Send your thoughts on your reviews. Also, your reviews from last chapter of the next arc, thank you for the comments. The suits they'll be wearing. I was thinking making them wear the suits from X-Men Apocalypse. Until then, I'm NiteOwl18.
