I wrote this a little while ago, if you don't particularly like NaruHina that's fine but there is some development between them in this chapter. Anyways here is the chapter, I didn't have much to say right now.
Chapter 3 : Changes
The two stood there in the hug for what felt like eternity. Hinata had almost fainted three times but she was trying to be strong.
Finally they ended the hug and Hinata was inventing several new shades of red.
"Did I just…" was Hinata's last thought before she was sent into unconsciousness. However when she fell she fell face first right into Naruto's arms.
Holding the young Hyuga in his arms he was just confused. "Did I do something wrong?" Was his only thought as he laid her onto a nearby tree. He didn't know what to do but he saw another pale eyed Hyuga man walking towards where they were. He decided to leave Hinata in her family's care to help her with whatever just happened to her.
As he left the Hyuga Male had seen a glimpse of the "Demon" leave with a limp Hinata on the ground. He had feared the worse and check on her to see she was unconscious and just starting to stir. He was unable to catch the "Demon" now that he was too far away.
"What happened? Was that all a dream." Hinata thought as she looked up she saw her caretaker standing over her.
"Lady Hinata are you okay?" Her caretaker said.
"I-I'm fine" Hinata responded.
OOO
After walking for a few more hours and Naruto felt a lot better. He decided to walk back to his new home.
Once he got there he opened the door to see kakashi. Kakashi had a blue ANBU style shirt and pants but over it he had a pink apron on. This would see normal if not for the fact that kakashi still had his signature mask and hitai ate on.
"Do you ever take off that mask?" Naruto asked
"Nope"
"Well one of these days I will see what ur hiding under there- ttebeyo!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Huh, did you say something?" Was his only reply.
The then gave an eye smile " you seem to be in a better mood."
Naruto smiled and nodded, he then smelled the food kakashi made that was sitting on the table.
"I decided to make some food while you were out. Also me and the third had a talk"
About what he said whilst eating.
"Well for one your going to be eating a lot less ramen"
Naruto paled at the thought of him losing his favorite food."why!"
"Well for one you're the shortest in your class. It's true that as a ninja you can pretty much eat anything but you still need nutrients to grow. Which means ramen only once a week." Kakashi stated bluntly.
"Fine!" He said with a silent tear running down his face. Kakashi just sweat dropped at that.
Kakashi just gave out a sigh. " we also talked about me becoming a normal Jonin again for the time being. And that on my off time I'm going to train you in mastering your fire and wind affinity ."
"Why fire and wind?"
"Because those are the elements you combine when you use scorch release. The Hokage as said that you can get back into the academy in a week. In that time I'm going to be fixing you taijustu and…" as he got up and went into the other room.
Once he return he hand several stacks of books in his hands. " we are going to get your academics to where they should be "
"What! Reading?" Naruto whined as he put his head down. He then abruptly put his head up and began to speak.
"No you can't just burn the books to get out of learning things." Kakashi interupted
Naruto then put his head down again.
OOO
The next day
Naruto and Kakashi were in a small
Clearing right outside of their house to train.
"Okay can you show me any ninjutsu you know." Kakashi asked
Naruto then decided to switch with a nearby log (since there is alyways one conveniently around"
"Good now try a transformation"
Naruto did so and decided to transform into Kakashi. As he did kakashi decided to take a closer look. After a few minutes kakashi then poked the clone on the forehead causing the second to dispel into Naruto and fall onto the ground.
"Hey what was that for!" Naruto said while rubbing his head.
"Interesting" was kakashi's only thought.
"Okay now try the clone." Kakashi responded
Naruto nodded and once he put his hands into a seal and channeled chakra another Naruto poofed into existence. Only this Naruto was shriveled up and pale. It fell onto the floor and seemingly died a miserable death.
Naruto then put his head down and mutter various complaints saying he " still couldn't make a single clone."
"Interesting" was kakashi's response.
They then went through the basic academy style taijustu and when he went through the standard katas. Each time they went through them Naruto's were always slightly off from what they should've been. Each time they got it wrong Naruto would say that "that is what they taught him"
Kakashi deciding he has seen enough decided to movie on.
Kakashi then went and picked up a large sack of sand and placed it next to Naruto.
"Okay this is a exercise your mother used to do. She would use her flames to shape the sand and create glass objects. For the shape you want first then create the shape add sand and use the flames to shape the glass into a ball. This is to help your control with the flames."
Naruto nodded and got to work by creating a small ball of flames in his hand with his other he added sand. The sand began to heat up, he then used some tendrils of flames to shape the glass into a ball. Once it cooled down it was a small misshapen marble.
"It will take some time to get the control down." Kakashi said seeing the marble with several bumps on it.
" I got to go and do something you keep practicing." He said and he vanished in a shunshin.
OOO
A few minutes later
Kakashi walked into the Hokage's office. The Hokage gave a smile as he saw the scarecrow.
"So how is the training going" asked the old man.
" it has been good for the most part, but there were a few problems."
" what seemed to be the issue?"
" I was seeing what he learned but once he did a transformation I discovered something."
"And what was that?"
" well he was able to do a jonin level solid transformation." Kakashi said shocking the old man.
"I see" the Hokage said thoughtfully. " Another side effect of his tenant is that he developed a large chakra reserve, add that to his Uzumaki blood he has the most chakra in the village." It was this time that Kakashi was shocked
" that is why he can't perform a single clone. I recommend you teach him one so he can graduate" Hiruzen finished, Kakashi nodded.
" while we were training I also noticed a problem." Kakashi stated
" What sort of problem?"
"The kind that will get you killed. Each of his taijustu moves were only slightly off, had he used them in actual combat he would be off from blocking or dodging by a small amount. This is strange because all of them were like this." Kakashi said.
" I see, there is a high probability that the academy is teaching him these altered katas on purpose. I will have to look into this." Hiruzen said.
OOO
A few hours later.
Naruto managed to form a glass marble using his flames. As Kakashi inspected the marble he decided it was good they moved one.
" okay I'm going to teach you a very valuable jutsu."
This got Naruto's attention as he loved jutsu " Really! You're going to teach me an awesome jutsu!"
"Yes, Now watch" kakashi then put his hands in a cross and right next to him a second kakashi appeared out of smoke.
Naruto just put his head down.
"What's wrong?" Kakashi asked seeing this.
"You know I can't make a clone." Naruto muttered out.
Kakashi just chuckled " this isn't a normal clone, you need to do this special handsign and channel much more chakra into the jutsu."
Naruto just nodded and tried the jutsu out. Once he did surprisingly he managed to create 8 perfect clones and two dead clones.
"Wow, what is so special about this jutsu!" Naruto exclamed paying attention to the perfect clones.
" These are what are know as Shadow Clones." As he poked one clone on the head. "Unlike the standard clones,these are solid. Now most jonin can only create a few of these clones as the chakra cost can be too much for them, but you're a special case."
"What makes me so special?" Naruto asked
"Well for two reasons, the first is that since you have your 'tenant' you developed larger chakra reserves." Naruto nodded. " The second is because you are and Uzumaki and they tend to develop larger reserves than normal people. Those larger reserves are also the reason only Uzumaki's can hold the kyuubi within them."
"What do you mean Uzumaki's" Naruto asked hoping he had some family left after all.
"The Uzumaki's were a clan that is now extinct, if you want to find out more you should find it in the books I gave you." Kakashi answered.
Naruto just put his head down in shame, which caused Kakashi to sigh. " you burned the books didn't you?" Naruto gave a slow nod and Kakashi sweat dropped.
They then practiced the Shadow clones until he was able to form a clone on each try. Which only took half an hour and considering this is a B-rank kinjutsu it was impressive, almost like he was meant to learn this jutsu.
Kakashi pulled out a strip of paper and handed it to Naruto.
"What's this?" Naruto asked.
"This is chakra paper, it is from a special tree that is grown using chakra. We use this paper to check what affinity we have. If you have lightning it crumples, fire it burns, water it gets soaked, wind it gets cut in half and earth it turns to dust. Channel chakra into the paper and we can see your elemental affinities."
As Naruto channeled chakra the paper and unsurprisingly it split in half and each half burned.
"Unsurprisingly you have both a wind and fire elemental affinity. That is good and bad."
"Well because you are in the land of fire you can find many people to learn how to harness your fire affinity. But wind users are really rare even in the land of wind. I only know one other wind user and he is currently not in the village."kakashi explained. " Now the real reason I taught you how to use Shadow Clones is because whatever the memories of what the clone experienced will be transferred to the user. This can be used for spying as it means you can gather information without a risk. However we will use this to train and gain experience so you can master your affinity faster."
" So i can have my clones ready my books instead!-ttebeyo" Naruto shouted in realization.
"Well yes… but it's alyways good to read"
"Huh, did you say something."Naruto said in a indifferent tone.
Kakashi then put his head down and muttered about "Fast learning Blondes"
They then used the clones to practice his control with glass bending , and doing the leaf exercises by cutting the leaf and half and burning it.
OOO
The Next Week
Naruto was in his academy class and nobody seemed to really notice that he was gone. In his class he had close acquaintances but he could never saw he had a friend. People had alyways seemed to stay away from him and he didn't know why, that was until a week ago when he learned the truth. He wasn't happy he had killed people at age ten but he knew that he couldn't change the past.
With the help of the clones he was able to get a small fire going with the leaves and managed for it to cut half of the way trough.
He had also remembered the day he might have found someone his age who might have accepted him, even with his 'tenant'
He saw the shy girl in the back of the class and gave a smile and wave but she just turned her head as she didn't want to show the massive blush on her face.
He had wanted to talk to her but there was a wall blocking him. This wall wasn't a normal wall. This had been a wall completely made out of fan girls, specifically ones that had a crush on a bruting Uchiha. These fan girls were all fighting over who got to sit next to the lone Uchiha. These fan girls were lead by a pink haired Naruto and a platinum blonde yamanaka.
Just then a man entered the room. This man wasn't the normal instructor they had. This man had a distinct scar running across his face, he also had his brown hair in a ponytail and looked like he was in his early twenties.
"Quiet down!" The instructor yelled but you could still hear "he's mine!" or "I was here first!" Coming from the horde of fan girls.
The instructor's head began to enlargen to inhuman levels as he yelled "QUIET DOWN AND SIT IN YOUR SEATS!"
As he did this the wall had dispersed in fear of the scarred Chunin.
"My name is Iruka Umino, I will be your new instructor for the time being." The man known as Iruka stated.
Various murmurs began to erupt from the class, most were one wondering what happened to the last instructor. While one particular blonde was thinking. "If I knew there was going to be a new instructor I would've set up some traps earlier "
As they began to call out for names Naruto knew what was coming next. As his name was called he prepared to see a look of hate on the instructor's face but he didn't see any. He saw a look of indifference, like he was any other student.
"Hmm… maybe I should go easy on this instructor." Then he chuckled a bit "nah"
This class proceeded with normal and they began with the normal lesson and then the would have lunch and do some practicing.
They started with history or more specifically the Second Great War. As Iruka began to look for a person to answer the question he looked at a certain blonde.
"Mr Uzumaki! What event led to the start of the Second War." Iruka called out. As Naruto tried to remember, kiba blurted out "like he would know something like that!" Everyone else started to laugh except for a Hyuga and a certain Nara who couldn't be bothered. Even the Uchiha gave a smirk at the remark.
"It was the invasion of Uzu, right?" Naruto answered, he had learned about the Uzumaki when he sent his slaves… I mean clones to read the books kakashi had given him.
"Very good Uzumaki!" Iruka exclaimed.
The rest of the day went as normal with multiple boaring lessons and other stuff.
After they were dismissed for lunch Naruto saw the person he wanted to talk to eating on a bench that was facing away from him .
As he got behind the bench he gave a friendly greeting.
"Hello!" He said startling the young Hyuga.
"N-Naruto!" She said as she as her face began to turn red.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" He asked gesturing to the seat next to the girl.
"Naruto-Kun wants to sit with me!" She squealed in her head. As she blushed a deeper shade of red. She just nodded her head yes, not trusting her voice.
The two sat in awkward silence until Naruto spoke up. "I.. Um… thanks… for the umm… other night." He said not knowing what to say as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
Hinata looked at her crush as saw that he was giving a big smile and she blushed and turned her head away. "I-It w-was n-nothing." She said not knowing what to say.
The two sat in another silence until Naruto asked the question he wanted to.
"So how long have you know about my 'tenant'"
"I-I was t-told by t-the e-elders of m-my c-clan about t-two years a-ago." She managed to say.
"Do you think I'm a monster like they say?" Naruto but his head down because of last experiences like this.
"No!" She yelled out, but then she blushed in embarrassment of her outburst. Unable to look him in the eye she said with a heavy blush "I-I t-think y-you a-are v-very n-nice and c-confident a-and t-that is a-admirable."
Naruto smiled and blushed from the compliment as he rubbed the back of his head. "Thanks, but I think you're way nicer than me" he said trying to return the compliment.
"Naruto-Kun thinks I'm nice!"
"I-I w-was w-wondering? W-What w-were y-you d-doing w-with t-that f-fire in t-the f-forrest." Hinata asked.
Naruto looked around and saw that. nobody was watching as he formed a palm sized fireball in his hand. " you mean this?" Hinata shook her head. "It's a side effect of my tenant, here watch this!" As he said that the fireball changed into the head of a rose. "Wow" Hinata said but as she said that naruto took out a small sack and added the contents, as he did it began to form glass and the tendrils of flames began to shape the glass into the head of a rose.
He then covered the glass rose with the sack and handed it to Hinata. " Careful it gets pretty hot."
As he handed Hinata the gift, all of her willpower began to fade and she fainted. Luckily Naruto managed to catch the glass rose and as it cooled he placed it into her pocket and left smiling knowing he had a friend.
OOO
Meanwhile
Under a tree watching the entire scene was a lone Nara laying down on the grass.
"Troublesome"
And that is the third chapter. Naruto has started to train and has also made a new friend who doesn't fear him. Right now if your wondering they are at age 10 if you cant do mafs like me :( . Anyways I get some leeway with the scorch release and I like the whole, glass sculpting to train concept. Although it might not be entirely accurate since i failed science but who knows. I know am diffidently gonna have Naruto fight Garra at some point, it would not only look visually amazing but would be pretty epic. Also Haku had gained a resistance to the cold which would be stupid if he didn't. So I thought he would gain a resistance to his own fire, that kinda how he survived the fire of his building. Also Pakura was like right next to her mini suns in the show and those if they touched you melt your letteral insides.
Anyways Goodbye.
