Chapter 2
[Flashback]
"That's it, you are so dead, dumb fuck," He snarled, his hands clenched as they turned a blazing orange
Naruto cracked his knuckles as he stated, "Bring it on, you poser!"
The two stared at each other down, unaware that they were being watched by a man covered in black, his dark eyes flashing red for a few seconds before turning back to its usual lazy black.
'Katsuki...Still reckless as always. So, this is the Kyuubi container. I wonder, how this will pan out,' Aizawa thought as he leaned against the tree trunk and watched the battle between the two blondes commence.
[Present]
The two stood before each other, the area was silent before a single leaf fell from the tree and when it touched the ground, the two made their move and charged at each other.
Katsuki created small explosions in his hands to give him a boost in the air to get behind Naruto and roast him from behind, but Naruto literally had a sixth sense when it came to attacks from behind.
He avoided the blast and jumped away getting some distance while Katsuki growled and said, "You ain't getting away from me that easily!"
He then quickly made his way towards Naruto who got into a defensive stance and thought, 'So he uses the explosions he creates to both propel and attack.'
Katsuki struck with his right hand to grab ahold of Naruto's head, but Naruto wrapped his right arm around Katsuki's pulling him closer to deliver a harsh knee to the stomach. After that, Naruto front snap kicked his lower jaw forcing his head back as he delivered punch after punch to Katsuki's torso before he kicked Naruto away, freeing his arm.
He then rubbed his jaw as Naruto skidded to a stop, pressing his hand into his upper stomach as he glared at Katsuki.
He then spat on the grass as blood dripped down his chin from the kick Naruto gave him as he looked up and glared at the sunshine blond who tossed his jacket away, as it landed in a heap with a strange clank.
"Dammit, I don't have time for this. All I wanted was to relax..." Naruto growled as he was wasting daylight.
"Oh you can relax when you are recovering in the hospital," Katsuki spat as he charged at Naruto again.
"Say that when you can actually get me on my back, shithead," Naruto growled as he met Katsuki's charge with his own as the two started to punch and kick each other.
Naruto's attacks had more weight behind them while Katsuki's attacks were slightly lighter but gave him burns, the attacks continued for over ten minutes, neither of the two given the other any ground except for the last attack where they both kicked each other in the face forcing them back a few feet.
The pair of them were panting as they glared at each other, Naruto had burns on his left cheek, under his right eye, on his stomach, and across his arms, Katsuki had bruises on both sides of his face, across his arms, and on his lower jaw.
They both went for one last attack with a straight right, Katsuki had his hand enveloped in his explosion while Naruto, subconsciously had his hand covered in both wind and lightning chakra.
Katsuki went for Naruto's face, while Naruto aimed at Katsuki's stomach, both attacks landed on their opponent, but with different results.
Naruto managed to block Katsuki's fist from hitting his face with his left arm but suffered heavy burns while Naruto's right fist was buried into his stomach.
Katsuki was frozen in pain as he hacked up a glob of blood before managing to sneak a right hook into Naruto's face sending him sprawling to the ground on his ass as Katsuki fell forward face-first.
Naruto clutched his cheek and spat out a bit of blood as he sighed before lying down on the grass before the shock settled in as he sat up looking at Katsuki's unconscious body and said, "I won...?"
Before Naruto could do anything else, Aizawa comes down and looks at the unconscious Katsuki and then back at Naruto.
Naruto bowed his head preparing for either a tongue-lashing or a beating, but after three minutes he looked up to see Aizawa still looking at him, unblinkingly.
"You...you aren't attacking me?" Naruto questioned, his arms twitching at his sides to raise them up to defend himself at a moment's notice.
"Why would I?" He asked, but already knowing the answer
"Because I just beat your student or whoever he was into unconsciousness?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "He is a bit too hotheaded for his own good."
"So, what now?" Naruto asked
Aizawa looked up at the sky for a moment before looking back at Naruto, "Follow me."
"Okay…" Naruto answered as he made his way back towards Katsuki, placing him on his back, grabbing his jacket, and followed after the man dressed in black.
Aizawa slightly widened his eyes, 'I didn't even need to ask him to carry Katsuki. He…really is interesting.'
The pair walked in silence out of the forest, went downtown via rooftop, considering that several people wouldn't take too kindly to Naruto carrying an unconscious fellow ninja.
Finally, the pair arrived at a training ground, that Naruto didn't know existed where he saw people his own age who stopped their conversation to look at them and started to discuss why Katsuki was on his back, making him nervous.
However, nothing could prepare him for when Aizawa said, "Everyone...This is Naruto Uzumaki. He is your new classmate, treat him well."
Naruto nearly dropped Katsuki from shock as he looked at the tired-looking man as the group got up and started to converse as he felt his cheeks redden in embarrassment.
[Training Ground #7]
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura were all waiting for Naruto and it has been ten minutes and all of them were very annoyed at the absent blond.
Sasuke was sitting on the bridge with his hands folded as he thought, 'The dobe is a no-show, again?'
Sakura was switching between growling that Naruto was wasting their time while sighing knowing she had Sasuke all to herself to cheer on.
'That idiot is going to get it when I meet him again for making all of us wait! But, the good side is that I don't need to deal with him asking me out on a date.'
Kakashi was really annoyed as he thought, 'First, he doesn't show up yesterday and now he is late today? He is going to get it when I find him later.'
Soon a Hawk-masked ABNU arrived with a letter and handed it to Kakashi who read it, his lone eye widened in shock as he said, "Is this real?"
"Yes, it is real, Hakate-san. The Hokage wants to meet you immediately and if you are late then it is ordered that you are to be used as Anko's unmoving kunai target for the next three months and every time you are late and then have all your books slowly burned by the Anti-Icha Icha Coalition before being forbidden to buy any replacements for the next six months."
Kakashi turned Orochimaru-level pale at hearing the end of that threat and said, "I will be right there."
The Hawk ABNU vanished with the wind and he turned towards his two students and said, "I will be back. Sasuke, do your usual warm-up set and Sakura run around the training ground twice. I will be back soon."
He then vanished, while wondering what would make the Hokage give him such a heavy threat.
[Hokage's Office]
Kakashi then made his way to the door of the Hokage's office and knocked twice to where a clear, "Come in, Jounin Hakate."
He frowned but entered regardless. He knew that he was in trouble, Hiruzen always went by first names, he only used the dreaded rank and last name when he was in a foul mood with someone.
Hiruzen looked at Kakashi, his dark eyes boring into Kakashi's lone one as the tension in the air was thick and heavy before Kakashi broke it by asking, "Lord Hokage, why did you send Naruto away from my team?"
He thought, 'Because you heavily shame both your dead teammates, your father, Minato, and myself. That's why and Kushina would love tear through Kami herself just come down here for an hour to tear off your ass and force you to eat it. Does that explain things Kakashi?'
Hiruzen sighed and said, "I sent Naruto away because I require his services on a project of mine and he has certain talents that will be able to complete that project to the best of his abilities."
Kakashi looked confused and replied, "I am sorry sir, but...I think you might have chosen the wrong person for the job. Naruto doesn't have any talent."
"Oh~, really?" Hiruzen stated, unmoving
"Yes, sir. You see, Naruto missed team practice yesterday and he was late for today's practice and he will probably not show up today so I was going to visit you later and ask that you send him back to Academy after the chunin exams."
Hiruzen stared at Kakashi in silence for a long period of time that made Kakashi feel as if he was in a room with a large animal that would love nothing more than to tear him apart.
'Well, my choice is cemented. Naruto will no longer be on Team 7, thank Kami for Naruto having a nearly unbreakable willpower or we would all be fucked. Note to self, show Naruto the Uzumaki shrine and give him Kushina's journal.'
"Kakashi, you say Naruto doesn't have any talent correct?" He stated, slowly
"Yes, he doesn't have any talent," Kakashi said with confidence, knowing that Naruto was a lost cause and it would just be a waste of time.
"Then, answer me Jounin Hakate. What have you been doing for the past four months," Hiruzen stated, coldly
"Uh, what?" Kakashi asked as he didn't think that Hiruzen would question his reasoning.
"Don't make me repeat myself, Hakate. What have you training your team in for the past four months."
"I have taught Sasuke several chakra control exercises, tree walking, several fire jutsus and-" Kakashi trailed off when he felt Hiruzen's killing intent start to rise.
The killing intent was flowing out of the older man like water as he closed his eyes and reigned in his temper before he crushed Kakashi's skull and grit out, "I. said, what have you doing for your team. NOT Sasuke Uchiha. Answer me truthfully, Jounin Hakate."
"I have taught the entire team, teamwork exercises and tree walking," Kakashi stated
"And Genin Haruno?"
"A couple of genjutsu techniques and several kunai tricks..." He answered, quickly
"And you taught Naruto nothing but teamwork exercises that won't do shit against an enemy ninja," Hiruzen stated slowly with his head bowed
Kakashi didn't reply but nearly swallowed his tongue when Hiruzen looked up at him, the fire in his eyes would have roasted him if Hiruzen tried a bit harder as he clenched his fist around his pen, before taking a deep breath and said, "Kakashi Hakate. You can't imagine how much I want to tear out Obito's eye right out of your head and remove you from active duty right now. However, the civilian council and my teammates would nag me until the end of time if I did that so I won't. But don't think you are getting off so easily. You will no longer have Naruto Uzumaki as your student if the poor boy could even call you a teacher in the first place..."
Kakashi flinched, knowing he was now in deep shit, "Lord Hokage, I-"
"Don't you dare interrupt me, Jounin Hakate. Naruto will be trained under a new teacher whether of his choosing or my own in order to become a great ninja that I know he will become, but you will not look for him. I absolutely forbid it, he is on an assignment for me and I will not have him bothered by your talented students that could put him in danger. He is out of town as of this moment and he will report to either me or his new teacher."
"Lord Hokage, what am I going to tell his teammates?"
"Tell them that he is on an assignment and that he is off your team and that they are not to look for them. If you or they disobey my orders, you all will be doing D-ranks for the entirety of the time until the chunin exams. If you disobey my orders a second time, your team will be forbidden to enter the chunin exams and before you ask, yes Naruto will enter the chunin exams, but not with your team. Also, I wouldn't expect Naruto to be very happy to meet you or your teammates if you happen to come across him."
"What do you mean by that?" Kakashi asked
"Just a warning, now please leave my office," Hiruzen said, turning back to his paperwork.
Kakashi turned to leave, but glanced at Minato's picture on the wall and was confused that the picture was frowning at him, like when he copied a comrade's jutsu when he made jounin.
He sighed before leaving through the door and when the door finally closed Hiruzen sighed, "Measuring stick, my left asscheek..."
[Training ground #7]
Kakashi went back to the training ground to see Sasuke throwing punches and kicks with Sakura cheering him on.
They saw him come up and Sasuke asked, "Is the dobe coming?"
"No, apparently he is on an assignment for the Hokage out of town and nobody is to disturb him."
"What? How come that baka gets a mission instead of Sasuke-kun?" Sakura yelled
"That, you need to ask clarification from the Hokage, he told me that Naruto is not to be disturbed and if he was, then we will be forced to do D-ranks until the exams, and if continue to disturb him then we would be banned from the chunin exams altogether."
"What?!" Sasuke and Sakura yelled
"That idiot! I am going to pound his head into the ground!" She said, cracking his knuckles in anger. She was hellbent on ripping Naruto a new hole to shit through after giving him a piece of her mind.
"Sakura are you trying to deny my chance of getting stronger?" Sasuke snarled, his dark eyes boring into Sakura's now fearful green ones.
She paled as she said, "No, never."
"Then leave the dobe alone, we will get answers from him when he comes back from whatever hole he crawled into," Sasuke said, as he leaned against one of the wooden pillars, as he thought about where to search for the dobe first after training and get answers.
"Yes," She chirped as she looked at Sasuke with hearts in her eyes
"We will deal with Naruto when he comes back now Sasuke follow with me, I need to teach you a new technique," Kakashi said with a shake of his head
[Downtown Training Ground]
Naruto leaned Katsuki against a tree and covered him with his jacket before making his way back to his supposed new teacher.
"Um, sir. What do you mean that I am their new classmate?" Naruto asked for clarification.
Aizawa glanced at him and said, "I already had several of your classmates gather your stuff to be taken to your new room at the complex."
Before Naruto could ask, a student laughed making Naruto look at another blonde with a black streak in his hair as he said, "So, it's true, your apartment is sick man. My favorite trap was the massive flour and rope trap that nailed Mineta-chan!"
Said Mineta [female Mineta Minoru] growled him, crossing her arms over her chest and said, "I didn't know that the door was trapped."
Naruto rubbed the back of his head and said, "Thanks, I guess...So where am I staying?"
"You will be staying with all of them at the complex, Shouto will show you around," He stated before pointing a thumb at the boy who made his way to the front.
The boy was taller by Naruto by several inches as he stood tall and straight, his skin was olive-toned, with his hair split down the middle, the right half was white, the left half was brick red, his right eye was gray, and his left eye was blue. However, the most noticeable feature would be the burn scar covering his blue eye.
"He will bring you back here and we will begin your training tomorrow morning and I expect you to get started on this-" Aizawa then chuckled a scroll at Naruto who caught it and said, "Yes sir."
"Good, now get moving. You are burning daylight," He stated
Shouto nudged him and said, "Follow me."
Naruto nodded and followed after him as Aizawa said, "Alright, all of you get moving, I want you to run laps around Konoha and up your weights to the next level!"
"Yes, sir!" They all yelled before making their way to run around Konoha
[To Naruto and Shouto]
The two boys were walking on the rooftops in silence until Shouto said, "We are going to the shop to change your clothes."
Naruto nodded his head and said, "Okay."
He raised an eyebrow in question and Naruto asked, "Do you think I wear bright orange because I wanted to?"
Shouto shrugged as an answer and Naruto accepted the silent answer and said, "It is more as a necessity than fashion. I'd rather wear this ugly thing and be able to eat than to wear good clothes and starve. Besides, it makes stealth training more interesting."
He raised an eyebrow and asked, "How can you be stealthy in bright orange?"
Naruto gave him a large grin as he chuckled, "Have you heard of the person who painted the Hokage monument and led three ABNU teams on a chase throughout the village?"
"Yeah, my friends were discussing for weeks and they wondered who that was. The chase lasted for 14 hours, I think..." He said, looking at Naruto who gave him a grin as it clicked in his mind.
"That person was you, wasn't it?" He concluded
"Yeah, but it was sixteen hours with only four of those hours spent in hiding and I took out half an ABNU team with pranks I placed all over the village," Naruto shrugged, smiling at that memory
Shouto looked at him for awhile until the two arrived at the store that supplied Aizawa's class and asked, "How the hell are you the dead last again?"
"Most of my teachers didn't teach me for shit," Naruto shrugged before Shouto opened the door and entered the shop as Naruto sighed and slowly walked into the store himself.
However, he was immediately confronted with a Kyuubi hater who manned the front and said, "You don't belong here brat. Get out this instant or I'll-"
"Or you'll what?" Shouto said with a glare
"Oh, hon, don't you know? He's no good, he will only drag you down. You are free to browse here, but he needs to leave immediately," She stated, pointing a finger at Naruto
Naruto rolled his eyes and said, "I'll be fine, go on."
"No, we aren't moving until we get what we wanted," He stated, standing his ground
"Don't tell me you actually expect him to shop here?" She said, repulsed
"So, what if I am?" Shouto quipped, raising an eyebrow as Naruto shrugged off the repulsed look she threw him with ease.
She frowned and said, "Then I will-"
"You will what, exactly?" A deep voice called out, gathering all of their attention to see a large tan man wearing a simple button-up shirt and slacks.
"Oh sir, I was just telling the brat to get out, you wouldn't want him to ruin your place of work would you?" She said, sweetly
"The only people who ruin my place of work are people like you who can't tell a damn kunai from a scroll. You're fired. Get out of my store, immediately," He stated, shocking both Naruto and the female worker
The worker trembled and said, "Sir, please. I need this job, I-"
"No, sir. I'll go. Just let her keep her job. Shouto, I'll meet you outside," Naruto said as he turned around to leave.
Shouto grabbed him by the wrist to keep him still, while the man shook his head and told the woman once more to get out as she ran out of the store crying and Naruto sighed, knowing this was going to lead to another mob.
"Pick anything from the store. Consider it a favor from an old man."
Naruto looked at him, confused until Shouto pulled him to find clothes as the man looked at the young blond.
'I can at least do this for your son, Minato,' He said, as he closed his eyes for a silent prayer for Minato to find peace in the afterlife.
"Pick out five pairs of clothes and then I will lead you on the tour," He said, as he closed his eyes
"Yeah...And thanks for standing up for me," Naruto said with a small smile while Shouto gave a small smile back
'No problem,' He thought
After ten minutes, Naruto picked out two dark blue sleeveless shirts, a blood-red v-neck, and two black elbow-length sleeved shirts with three pairs of black ABNU pants, and two black shorts with multiple pockets.
"You got everything you wanted?" He asked, seeing Naruto carry all the clothes under one arm.
"Yeah, come on."
The pair then arrived at the checkout as Naruto pulled out his wallet and asked, "How much do I owe?"
The man put all the clothes in two bags and said, "Three hundred Ryo."
Naruto gave him the money and grabbed the bags and said, "Thank you."
"Come back, anytime," He said with a smile as waved at Naruto
Naruto gave him a nervous smile and looked forward while Shouto glanced at him and said, "The next stop we are heading to the complex."
"Okay," Naruto said as they both jumped to the rooftops as they made their way to the complex.
The complex was a large building hidden in the forest, the large trees covering the building and from what Naruto could see there were no visible doors as Shouto jumped into the trees and motioned for Naruto to follow after him.
Soon, the pair was inside and where Shouto showed him the kitchen, the game room, the living room, the porches, the training area, the pool, the lake, the hot springs, and then the bedrooms. The girls were on the left and the guys were on the right and all the rooms have names and had a certain touch on each of them.
The room with the sign was Naruto and Shouto said, "It is normal for everyone to design their own room, although it didn't stop some of the girls from buying you a few things. So be prepared to thank them."
"Yeah, I'll do that," Naruto said
"Lunch will start at 2, stay here or explore if you want. Everyone will be back at 1 and then Aizawa will want to talk to you in private."
"Okay."
"Yell if you need anything," Shouto finished, before closing the door behind him.
Naruto was alone in the large room that was his and he was rather confused on what to do at this point, considering the size was practically his entire apartment room.
"Let's see no more horrible orange jumpsuit, actual clothes and a place to rest my head without having to sleep with both eyes open sounds awesome," He told himself as he tossed away his orange pants and made to burn them as soon as he got the chance along with the rest of his jumpsuits.
What Naruto didn't know that all the girls got his orange jumpsuits and were planning on burning them in the bonfire, later that evening.
He then checked out what things the girls had got for them and saw the closet had several items of clothing in it already and was pinned on one of the jackets was a note which he removed and said, 'Welcome Naruto and hope you like it!'
Naruto looked up to the sky as if asking, 'What should I do?' as he clenched his fists before taking a deep breath and said, "Fuck it. They aren't them. They aren't like them, I hope they aren't like the villagers and I hope they don't fuck it up. I really hope not..."
Hiruzen was watching Naruto through his crystal ball and said, "I will correct my mistake, Naruto and I will make sure you will reach your full potential. It's about damn time, I stop playing the senile old grandfather card. That cost you, your childhood, but I will be damned if I let them take anything more from you. And I know Aizawa will protect you just like how he protects everyone else."
Ending it! Ending the chapter! I am sorry for the wait, I've been really busy, don't worry, I plan on updating the rest of my stories, it is just that 18 credits with most of them being science-related are bitches to deal with. Now, enough of the personal reality hell, back to fanfiction. The next chapter will be the start of Naruto's training and people find out about Naruto's mission and their response. What will happen, well? That you will see in the next chapter.
Thank you for all the reviews, they mean a lot to me!
doomqwer: Thank you! I hope you like this chapter!
eniox27: I am glad to see another person who likes when the canon is thrown out the window. The hero characters are in the Naruto world and the history will be explained in later chapters along with future enemies.
Karlos1234ify: Thank you and yes that was Eraserhead.
Skull Flame: Thank you and I hope you enjoy this chapter.
DragonPony022: Thank you and Naruto will not, but he is more realistic as he no longer has his mask on, he rather uncertain about everything now considering he doesn't have to be happy, he can do whatever he wants and show his real personality which will have a part in what will be shown later. The legacy of the Uzumaki will be shown later as well.
thor94: Naruto will do something to all of the Rookie 9 but will be crueler to Team 7 and especially Kakashi, but I won't tell you any more than that. All you need to know is that it will happen sooner than you think.
Banjo the Fox: Sorry...But he is needed specific reasons and it was either Katsuki or have Kirishima spar with him, but I think Katsuki shows more of Naruto's natural planning instincts that we see in the show, that relatively goes unnoticed.
Nomadic Chaos: Thanks, dude, but Naruto is not going to have a quirk. The quirks are transformed into bloodlines and special abilities only they can wield, but they call it quirks to throw off Danzo, knowing he would practically anything to get his hands on them for his Root which I will dive into later. Naruto will have multiple weapons and his skills will grow quickly, but what he gets will be a surprise and connected to his Uzumaki heritage.
The Sleeping Zombie: Thank you!
