Chapter 2: The Yondaime

The graduating class sat there silently as the Yondaime spoke about them from to podium. Their parents and invited guests out in the stands, smiling at them with proud faces and man's eyes were scanning them silently as he finished his typical speech of how they were the future. He was honestly wondering how the next generation was going to turn out. Then the Yondaimes eyes stopped on a mop of blond spiky hair. The eyes of that teenager were staring at him with hatred burning brightly in the eyes. That made him smirk, he was usually stoic but the hatred in his bastard son's eyes made him smile a bit.

Naruto just glared at him some more, he wished he had the power now to just kill the bastard. Unfortunately he didn't, not yet at least. On the plus side of things, he had the tools to do it once he could control them. The Kyuubi, his shield from his mother making him untouchable for the time being, not until he could find another host to try and take it from him. The Namikaze Bloodline, when he chooses to reveal it, his sword. It would prove who his father was, that his mother never lied, also it was bound to piss the fucker off. He wasn't sure which one of those two options he was more excited about. For the time being though, he would resort to just showing up his half sister, if he was the best genin then it would upset the Yondaime for the time being.

Minato stood on the podium and started to have a devious smirk, "Starting this year I want to introduce a new idea, in a show of strength to inspire the rest of the class, I want the top male and female genin to spar one another. Iruka, who were this year's top two?"

Iruka, being someone who knew the truth just glared a bit. They both knew the answer, and they both knew that he was doing this to rile up a certain blond jinchuriki, "Naruko Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki."

Minato nodded his head, playing the role that he didn't know full well what he was doing, "Would the two of you please come stand before me."

His daughter instantly rushed down the stairs as Naruto stayed sitting, shocking a lot of people. Everyone just looked at him as the Yondaime stared, irritation in his eyes by the boys blatant insubordination, "Naruto Uzumaki, come down here. Or will I perhaps have to 'speak' to your mother again?"

All of the parents in the stands started to look over at Kushina as she looked at Naruto. The boys upper lip twitched and he clenched his hands into a fist before he stood silently. He looked over at his mother who gave him a soft smile before his eyes swiftly came back to Minato. Naruto headed down the stairs and stood next to Naruko who was looking at him questioningly, no one ever tried to defy her father so seeing a genin resist was a phenomenon to her. Minato smiled at them then looked at Naruto directly, "Glad you decided to listen, perhaps I will talk to your mother about your manners though. After all, a Hokage is like a father to everyone isn't he?"

Those who knew the truth were disgusted by the mans obvious shot at Naruto, though the blond teen boy seemed to ignore that part. The part that didn't sit well with him was the comment referring to Kushina. His eyes turned crimson for a moment, something the Yondaime didn't miss. Naruto continued to glare at him, "You go near my mother, I will kill you."

Everyone gasped a bit as he glared at him with anger in his eyes, posture and voice. The Yondaime stared at him, "It doesn't matter, once was enough anyway."

His shoulder twitched in anger, he was about to move when Asuma appeared before them. The bearded Sarutobi just looked over at Minato, "Since they are both on my team I would rather you not do this Yondaime-sama, perhaps give Naruto someone else to fight if you are so desperate to see him fight someone."

Minato glared at him then made a irritated sound as he leaned on the podium, "I am pretty sure I am the Hokage not you Asuma. This fight is something that is going to happen no matter what, whether you like it or not makes no difference to me."

The Sarutobi looked back at Naruto then back at Minato, "You sure you want to send your daughter against him after you riled him up like this? Good possibility that he will end up seriously hurting her."

The Hokage looked over at his daughter who nodded her head, "She wants to fight him and any child of mine gets what they want."

The jinchuriki's hands twitched again at yet another blatant shot at him. He just stared at Minato, an evil smile coming to his lips, "I will get my wish someday too."

The blond Hokage looked at him, "What is your dream?"

The sinister smile on his face getting even larger as his eyes locked with Minatos, "To kill the man that hurt my mother. I am going to make him suffer, humiliate him and then I will kill him slowly. I will not let him have the mercy of a swift death, he must suffer for what he has done."

Everyone in the small knit circle that knew the truth stared at Naruto, he had never told someone that. Not even Kushina knew what he had been planning this whole time. Her eyes were locked on the back of his blond head. Naruto and Minato continued to do their little stare down until the Yondaime started to laugh, "Your mother is actually a very strong kunoichi. So if there was someone who was able to hurt her, he is way stronger then you can ever dream to be boy."

His sinister smile did not waiver, "We will see about that now, won't we?"

Asuma stared at Naruto then bent down by him to whisper in his ear, "She isn't him Naruto, remember that when you fight."

The sensei to both of them patted him on the shoulder then nodded to Naruko before they both took their starting spots. Iruka moved to standing between them and looked at both as he lifted his hand, then brought it down. Naruko was the first one to move and reached back and then pulled out multiple kunai, her focused eyes never leaving the other blond. Naruto just stared at her, wondering what it was the Princess was planning.

Naruko flashed at the blond boy then threw one of her kunai at him. She had always been praised as being fast for her age, she honestly thought it would be an advantage, that he wouldn't be able to track her. To her surprise though, Naruto caught the kunai she threw between his fingers with obvious ease. He rose his left eyebrow then looked at her, "I must admit... I expected more."

She was about to yell at him to shut up for that comment when he suddenly just disappeared in a flash, delivering a hard knee into her stomach. Her eyes rolled back as all the air left her body. As she was falling she gasped for air, trying to get her barrings. That was when Naruto grabbed her hair and pulled her head back, putting her ear next to lips. Naruto put the kunai to her throat.

Turning her to face the Yondaime he gave a even more sinister smirk then he did earlier. He slowly pushed the kunai in enough to start to draw blood from her throat. Naruto looked at his half sister then whispered into her ear, "Look at him, your so called father. I could slice your throat here and now, I wouldn't lose a second of sleep over it either. It doesn't look like he would either, he is staring at me, not you, I am where his concern lies. You thought you were so damn important through the academy, everyone treated you so fucking well but no longer. Its time you grew up you spoiled little bitch."

Pushing the kunai in a little deeper, making the blood go down her neck without the risk of a kill just yet Naruto continued to stare at Minato. Narukos eyes were shifting between Naruto and then her father. She had noticed that the other blond was right, he was looking at Naruto, saying the only reason that made sense to her, "He is looking at you because if you kill me he will kill you."

Naruto laughed a bit, "He can't touch me, he forced me into this fight after trying to provoke me. He knew that I would be angry yet he still let you fight. Honestly, he practically offered you up as a sacrifice just to see where my power truly lies. Your precious father isn't who you all think he is, he is a cynical bastard who cares only about himself. Remember this lesson Naruko Namikaze, if I have to reteach it, you will die."

With a swift motion he pulled out the kunai and delivered a swift chop to her neck making her fall unconscious. Naruto looked at the kunai then threw it next to her into the ground before glaring at the Yondaime. The man just glared back, "Everyone is dismissed, meet your senseis at the designated areas. Hannah, make sure our daughter is okay."

The woman rushed forward to Naruko and knelled down by her to see if she was okay. Naruto finally broke his stare down with the Yondaime to look at Hannah, "She isn't hurt... well not badly at least. She was not ready for a fight with me so I took it easy on her. I suggest that you get your bastard ass husband to train her properly before she goes into the field. You are not a ninja, so you wouldn't know, but women in this field aren't killed right away if captured, they are used. Unless you want this to happen to your precious daughter then you may want to get her properly trained."

Hannah looked at him with confusion, "Why do you care? I thought that you hated our family?"

Naruto looked at her calmly as his mother came over and put her hand on his shoulder, reassuring him to not do anything reckless. They were not a part of his little war, they were just innocent bystanders, people who shouldn't get caught up in this. Naruto sighed, "The one I hate is your husband for things that he has done, eventually I will have my vengeance for what he has done as well."

The blond teen turned to leave with his mother when Hannah spoke up again, "What did he do to you to make you hate him so much?"

Kushina looked at Naruto with concern as he stared forward, "He didn't do anything to me, it's someone else I am doing this for."

With that the boy walked out of the auditorium, leaving a concerned Kushina there with the other members of the Namikaze family. He started heading to where Asuma had told their team to meet. Hannah looked over at Kushina who was clearly concerned for her child, "It's for you right Kushina-san? For what Minato did to you?"

The red headed woman looked over at her in surprise, "You know?"

Hannah nodded her head, "I had my suspicions, one look at Naruto and you know who his father is. When you tried to tell people it just confirmed what I believed. It was no secret that Minato had feelings for you that bordered on obsession."

Rolling her eyes Kushina scoffed at the comment, "Crossed that line awhile back."

The other woman smiled a bit, "True, but by the time I even had my suspicions I was already pregnant with Naruko here. I think that her whole existence to Minato is just his way to provoke Naruto. You named your son, he named her Naruko. Naruto tells you he wants to be a ninja, he tells Naruko she has to be a kunoichi. He puts them on the same team, he tells her how she is so much better then him and then she acts like it."

Hannah let out a long sigh as she stroked her daughter's hair, "I can't leave him because of my father but Naruko can still get away from him. That is the only positive side to this... so what Naruto warned me about... can that really happen out there?"

The red head nodded her head, "Unfortunately it can... sometimes from the person you least expect. I hated every second that I had to sleep with him but I do not hate what I got from it. To be honest, I felt empty for awhile when I was cast aside by Minato, then again when no one wanted to approach me to date me. I didn't know what Minato was doing at that point in time, then he gave me the 'mission' and made me sleep with him and that gave me Naruto. I love my son as much as you love your daughter, the only unfortunate thing is who their father is."

Kushina came over and then channeled some chakra into her hand and pressed it to Naruko's neck, making it so she woke up. The blond teen girl looked around then at Kushina and Hannah. Hannah gave Kushina a smile as Naruko sat up, "Ugh my neck... what happened?"

Giving her a soft smile while continuing to stroke her hair her mother responded to her question, "Naruto knocked you out during your match sweetie. We are going to have to find you someone other then Asuma to train you, perhaps Kushina-san would be willing to help you out?"

That made the red head look at Hannah, "I'm not sure that is a good idea... Naruko doesn't really care for Naruto too much, none of the kids in their age group really do. I think that it is in every bodies best interest to ask another, maybe Anko... no she would say no too. Um..."

Hannah looked at her then bowed in front of the red headed kunoichi, "Please Kushina-san, I would be very appreciative if you did. I don't want anything to happen to my little girl while she is in the field."

Kushina rubbed her brow then sighed as Hannah straightened back up, "Fine... just... she needs to be nice to Naruto when at my home. There is also the fact she can not insult him in my presence, is this understood?"

Naruko and Hannah both nodded their heads, "Also, Minato is not allowed near my home or son, for reasons that you know."

The black haired woman nodded her head then looked at her daughter, "You understand all of this right Naruko?"

She nodded her head then the older women nodded their heads and Hannah spoke up, "Run along to your meeting Naruko, your other teammates should already be there." She nodded her head before running off in the same direction Naruto had disappeared earlier.

When Naruko arrived she saw that her teammates and sensei were waiting for her. Asuma was standing there smoking a cigarette with a somewhat bored looking expression on his face. Her other teammate, Shikamaru Nara was laying on the ground and looked to be asleep. The last member of her team was sitting in the tree looking straight at her. Naruko looked right back at him then at her eyes went over to her new sensei, "Sorry I am late Asuma-sensei, I was knocked out in my match earlier."

Nodding his head in understanding he responded to her, "It wasn't fair for him to put you against Naruto, especially after toying with the boy."

Naruto said nothing as he sat in the tree looking at her still before he jumped down to the ground. He looked over at his half sister, "I am sorry that I knocked you out, I figured it was better then killing you though."

Naruko nodded her head at him then looked at Asuma, "So how are we going to be tested Asuma-sensei?"

He shook his head, "No point in testing you, I know that you all are good enough to be genin. Naruto is a powerhouse, you're strong and fast, and Shikamaru while being lazy is a genius in his own right. If I test you one on one then it won't prove anything I don't know. If I test you how other jounin do as a team it would just make it so Shikamaru develops the strategy while you two execute. Nothing I don't know already so there is no point in wasting the time or energy, you're all free to leave. I will see you tomorrow when we start doing our D Ranked missions."

Naruko nodded her head then looked to see Naruto was already gone as well as Shikamaru. She looked over at Asuma, "Asuma-sensei, can I ask you some questions?"

He nodded his head as he took another puff of his cigarette, "Naruto... whats up with him?"

The Sarutobi looked at her then exhaled the smoke, "It is not my place to say, if you really want to know then you will have to put forth that effort and make a bond with him one way or the other. Though to be honest, he really doesn't open up to people other then his mother. Hell... he doesn't even really get along with others, walking poster boy for doesn't play well with others. If you are able to somehow forge a bond with him you have done what many think to be impossible, he only has one goal in his life it seems and he seems to expect that will also be the end to his life."

The blond teen looked at him then sighed with a nod, "I will have to do it the hard way, maybe feminine charms will work on him."

Asuma rose an eyebrow and was about to tell her she couldn't when he remembered she didn't know. With a sigh he turned and left, taking another long drag off of his cigarette, 'Poor boy will probably fall for it too since no woman has ever shown interest in him, he won't know what to do. Let's hope that he doesn't cross that line for whatever reasons he may do it.'
