Uzumaki Ran

-----------

Hello and welcome to my first fic . As you can see, Its a S.I. so there. Oh yeah, I dont own any of the Anime and character or stuff that will or could show up in my fic. All the stuff except my character and my lil twist are not mine and are copyright to their respective owner. Im using the character without any permisson so please dont sue me. Lastly, if you dont like this fic or me, please dont flame me, review and comments are welcomed.Thank you.

When first starting to write, i got some other ideas for this fic but seeing as i already type it in I can only hope for the best. At first i wanna make a fic that tell how naruto snaps in anger and his Id come out instead of the kyubi taking control but seeing that it will be an overkill since Id is a practisioner of the Living Art. So after refining it some I decide to turn to S.I. and here we are... okays thanks for reading my rambling... now on to the story!!

...... = thought

Chapter 1 - Enter the Genin

---------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------

"We will now start the final exam. If your name is called, come to the classroom next door. The subject will be bunshin no jutsu. Well start with the highest score." Iruka then turn to his sheet and called the first examinee. At the back of the room, Naruto could be seen thinking while Ran is sketching something with total focus, Hinata who sat beside Ran keep on stealing a glance at Naruto shyly. If one look at Naruto at the moment, his face could be seen to be worried. Man i should know than to add extra practise this morning..... I dont seem to have enough chakra..... what to do...what to do.. Naruto continue to think how to do his bunshin with his now low chakra as Rans went for the exam.

"Uzumaki Ran, test start!!" Iruka gave his signal as Ran seem to be half awake. Raising an eyebrow at Iruka and Mizuki, Ran gave them a yawn before performing the hand seal. "Bunshin no jutsu.." three copies of Ran then appear and one with an unlid cigarettes hanging on his mouth. "Here..." lighting the cigarettes, the bunshin gave it to Ran before dissappearingwith the other two. "You pass but NO SMOKING IN HERE!!" Iruka gave Ran a Leaf protector before throwing him out the test area. Taking a drag, Ran then turn to Naruto ignoring the others who is staring at him. "Your turn, good luck." with that, Naruto proceed to take the exam.After a minute he step into the room, Iruka voice could be heard yelling that Naruto had failed. "Baka..." whispered Ran as he continue to laze around with Shikamaru. Seeing the test is over, Ran then decide to find Naruto. It took him sometime to look aroud but he find him finally sitting and talking with Mizuki. so it begin .... finally I can concentrate on other things...... hehehe Ran then went to train with his weapon after seeing that both Naruto and Mizuki hadnt sense his presence.

'BOOM' "Damn that gotta hurt." Ran said as he look at Lee who was laying in a small crater. Catching his breath, Lee jumps out of the crater and began attacking Ran. "Gotcha!" Ran then was hit flying toward a tree. 'crack' "Shit, that hurts!" shouted Ran as he began to stand up. After resting for some breath, both of them began to continue beating each other. Each got some hit sometime but neither seem to have any advantage over the other. The fight ends up as always, a draw as each knock the other out.

It was already late when both of them awaken. "ugh... we gotta stop drawing, a month is acceptable but a year... thats rather weird." Said Ran as he inspect his injuries. Lee just nodded as he he inspect his body too. thank god, no broken bones this time thought both of them as they finish their inspection. "I got to go back now, Ill see you tomorrow." said Lee as he began walking home. "Yeah, okay." sitting alone at the training ground, Ran began to stare at the stars above him.

"Its been eight years already.... who would have thought....life here is not so bad, I fear for the coming wars.... may god have mercy on our soul.." mused Ran sadly as he lights up a cigarette. Standing up, he began walking to find some food to eat while continue to smoke. After some walk, he find himself in front of Ichiraku Ramen. "I guess ramen will do."

"Team 7, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto. Team 8..." nothing seems to change it seems. I wonder which team im in? ... my score is only a bit higher than Naruto... huh Ran began to focus as his name was stated finally. "...and Uzumaki Ran in team 11... Is there any question?" asked Iruka as he look around the class. " Iruka-sensei! Why must an excellent student such as I team up with this guy!" Naruto then began to point at Sasuke. "Naruto. Sasuke graduated with the highest score while you had the worst score." answered Iruka calmly causing the whole class to laugh.After a few more intercourse Iruka continue with the occasion "Im going to introduce the Jounin teacher in the afternoon.Meeting adjourned until then..... By the way, Ran, go to my office later." said Iruka to Ran as he nears the door.

Later that day, "So whats with me being in one mans team, sensei? I thought you say it was a team of three."asked Ran as he sat down in front of Iruka. "well, the people that graduate this year is extra by one that by the way is you." answer Iruka while serving Ran some tea. "So, why my brother got a team instead of me then? He got lower then me." asked Ran before drinking his tea. "Well, that was my idea actually." answer the Hokage who then sip his tea. "That still doesnt answer my question." Ran said as he turn to look at the Hokage. "You already know why, Ran." Raising an eyebrow, Ran continue to sip his tea. "okay then. So, whos the guy thats gonna guide me?" asked Ran as he put down his cup for a refill. "That is your first mission, come see me in my office tomorrow. Youre going to find the sennin Jiraiya." with that, the hokage then gone from Rans sight. "A sennin?... why dont I feel so lucky?" great..I got the ero-sennin.... now where the hell can I find him? while still thinking, Ran excused himself from Iruka office to prepare himself.

"Ooi Naruto, are we gonna practice tonight? Come on I got some stuff to show you." Ran said as he began warming up his body. "Sure, just make sure you wake me up tomorrow okay." replied Naruto who began to stretch. "Watch this... Perfect Kage bunshin no jutsu" said Ran as he put his hand on a different seal and create two clone. "I also know that jutsu bro.. but what with the weird seal?" asked Naruto who is now standing beside a clone. "You are gonna like this" Ran then proceed to stand beside Naruto as the two clone face each other in the same stance. "I always wanna do this.... FIGHT!" shout Ran to signal the two clone to fight. After ten minutes the two clone is still fighting and both could be seen to be injured. "what the... They are hurt but still did not dissappear? My God, they feels like real human... even with a pulse..." exclaimed Naruto who is in a shock from his discovery. "I know... the only thing they are missing are the heart, I can't seem to make one that would work." Ran told Naruto as the two clone suddenly stop fighting and began to move towords the two. "But how?" looking at Naruto ano of the clone went to open two scroll. "You see, we are created using the combination of this two jutsu. As you can see, the only limit to our existance is if we are out of chakra or ki." explained one of the clone. "Oh... so you can still exist if you still have energy right?" the clones just nodded to Narutos question. "Thats one way to look at it." said Ran in agreement. Ran then left Naruto to learn the perfect kage bunshin as he began fighting two new clones as he reabsorb the injured ones. They keep on practising and stops at 1 a.m. to go to sleep.

Naruto then awaken at the smell of ramen. "Ran, why are you making ramen now?" asked a sleepy Naruto. "Go wash your face and sit if you want some, if not ,go back to sleep." Naruto then quickly wash his face and sit down as his brother ordered. "Here, it will be a while before I can cook for for you again." said Ran as he divide the ramen in to two bowl and place them on the table. "huh?...what do you mean, Ran?" asked a confuse Naruto. "Ill explain later. Eat up before yours went soggy and cold." told Ran to Naruto as he began to eat his ramen. Naruto just stare confusingly at his brother as they both eat in silence. Before Naruto could question his brother as they finish eating, Ran shushed him up and told him to wait in the livingroom as he turns to gathered the bowls and went to wash them. After two minutes, Ran then went to the livingroom. Naruto sat himself comfortably on a couch while waiting for Ran to sit down and talks. Seeing this, Ran proceed to sat on his spot beside the noww open window while lighting up his cigarette. Dragging and puffing it for some time, Ran began to speak, "Im going for a mission out of the village start of today..." pausing to let his word reach NAruto, Ranto continue finish off his cigarette. "Ill be going in a few hours and I dont think Im gonna be back for sometime....." looking at Naruto, he continue, "..but Ill try to be home before the Chuunin exam.". "Why do you tell me now? Why do you have to go?" Naruto began questioning his brother. "It seems like I got to go and find my teacher...and Im worried about you." Said Ran as he turn to look at the sign of the sun rising. "Promise youll be okay when Im gone okay. And remember to practise everyday." said Ran as he turns to look at Naruto. "I will, Ran. You too." said Naruto as he walks to hug his brother. "I promise, Ill be okay. And Naruto..." Naruto then lift his head to look at his brother, "..you are already more than an hour late for your survival training."

Naruto quicly turn his head towards the livingroom clock that reads 6.20. "Ack! ImlateImlateImlate...." shouted Naruto as he run to bath and change his attire. "Won't he be surprise" comment Ran silently as he watch Naruto rush off to his meeting place."Oh well... looks like I better get ready myself." Ran then closes the front door and start head for the bath.

there!

the 1st chap is done thought some may say it was short. next is focus on Zabusa Arks.

i suck at writing and I know it which make it sucks some more. I cant seem to focus to write these stuff. I keep running out of ideas everytime i put it some down. the ideas seems to like to elude me and keep stoping me from making this fic longer. Anyone got a harpoon or something to catch these ideas??

Yes, im putting myself to learn under Jiraiya and no, i won't be looking for him alone, two chuunin will be joining with a Jounin for protection. maybe ill use Anko...

Yes, i know smoking can kill me.. that is if enemy nins hadnt kill me first.

my style of clothing, a loose short sleeve black t-shirt over a weight vest. dark-blue baggy short which reach over the knee with tight-shorts underneath. a belt with the holster for the Iron Knuckle. Navy blue Nins boots. high collar, long sleeve black trenchcoat. a weight metal bracer on each hand. the leaf protector tied to the the left arm like shikimaru. vash-like shades.

I think thats it for now.. until next time, Ja!
