Chapter 3.1 - A New Journey and Initiations. (Woot!!)
Konoha Village - One Day After Naruto and Sasuke swore a pact of friendship.
The neighborhood where Naruto lives. The scene then goes to the window of
Naruto's flat. Then the inside appears as Naruto is sleeping. Suddenly, the
sun starts to shine through his window as his alarm rings. He turns it off
and listens. Birds are chirping and he begins to hear the sound of people
below. With a big yawn, he sits up and gets out of bed. After a shower, he
eats breakfast and dresses in street clothes. Looking around his room, he
decides that to celebrate his getting out of the hospital, he needs to do
something different before going to train. He lands on the idea of cleaning
his flat (visualization of him taking trash and throwing out of window). As
he goes through the things on the floor, he comes across some odd looking
scrolls that he has never practiced with before. On a closer look, he finds
that the one of the scrolls is a hyper-speed technique and the other an
assortment of Electric jutsu's. He wonders where these came from, and then
notices a seal on them which symbolizes fire and a leaf. He recognizes it as
some family seal but of whose, he can't guess. He decides to take them with
him and try them out when goes and trains today. After cleaning his flat from
top to bottom (literally throwing things out of the window and upsetting
people in the street below) Naruto runs off to do some training.
About 20 minutes later, Kakashi knocks on Naruto's door from the outside and
finds that the door is open. He enters, and is a bit put out by the cleanness
of Naruto's flat and the realization that that is where the stuff in the
street came from. Not seeing Naruto, he guesses that Naruto went to train and
will look for him in a while. As he leaves, however, he notices a scroll on
the ground that bears the fire and leaf symbol, and to himself, he wonders if
Naruto has discovered the full meaning of that symbol yet.
In a part of the training grounds, Sasuke is practicing shuiken throwing.
Facing pictures of a body outline on trees, he tenses up. In his right hand
are 10 shurikens, and the other, a metal stopwatch. Pressing the start button
and running around the tree, he releases the shurikens at 10 different
targets. When he gets them all, he instantly hits the stop button and checks
it. His face lifts, seeing that he got it down in 2 seconds faster. Good, he
says. My time is down to 2.5 seconds. I'll take a break now.
Kakashi is currently walking through town. He comes upon Sakura and greets
her. She is elated to see him and asks why he is here. He replies that there
will be a mission for team 7 along with the other Genin teams soon, so he
needs to gather them to tell them about the mission. Sakura offers to look for
Sasuke, but Kakashi says they will both go. They head to the forest and arrive
on Sasuke, who is punching one of the training logs. His hand is bandaged and
he goes forward quickly, punches, and falls back. Kakshi asks what he is
doing. Sasuke replies that he got an inspiration for a new technique. kakashi
asks if that is why he is punching the log multiple times. Sakura looks at
Kakshi confused, and says that Sasuke only punched it once. Sasuke says that
he did indeed punch multiple times, and he is attempting to create a
shockwave. He almost has it down, but it is not perfect yet. Kakashi tells him
they need to get the team. Sasuke gets up, and then they all go to look for
Naruto.
Kakashi and gang come upon an open field where Naruto is sitting on the
ground with a scroll open next to him and watching leaves fall. Kakashi asks
what he is doing, and Naruto answers that he is improving his concentration.
In his mind, Kakashi swears for a second he saw the air around Naruto vibrate,
but when Naruto gets up and walks toward them, he dismisses that. Naruto asks
them what's up, and Kakashi says he has gathered them all here to discuss the
next upcoming mission. They gather around Kakashi, and he announces that for
the next mission, they will not be working together in a team. The others are
shocked, and Sasuke demands to know why. Kakashi said that this is the
decision of the elders, and, pulling a number of folded sheets out, announces
that the sheets tell who will be with who and under who's command. Sasuke
opens his sheet, and shows Kakashi questioningly. Kakashi says that for
example, he will lead a team of Sasuke, Lee, and Shino. Each of the Shinobi in
this group specializes in adapting to the opponent and his moves and will carry
out a certain submission within the general mission. Sakura opens up to find
that she is in a group of her, Ino, and Shikamaru all being led by Kurenai.
Kakashi states that they will probably do a spying mission, since each shinobi
has the ability and the brains for it. Naruto opens his, and with utter
disbelief, lets it fall to the ground. The sheet says to report to the ANBU in
the shinobi building. Kakashi smiles and says that Naruto seems to have a
mission full of pain, since ANBU training does not show mercy to those that
enter it...
With that said, Kakashi tells them to report to the Administrative building
tomorrow to be debriefed. They leave in two days...
That is all for now!! Tune in for 3.2 when the Shinobi get the teams and the
missions together. Also, Sasuke and Naruto's new techniques reveled!!
By now, I am sure some of you have figured out that I am a Naruto/Hinata fan. If anyone is still unsure, yes I am.
I will try to release the next one early, but with midterms coming, I will make no promises.
Again, thank you everyone for reading and an extra thank you for those who have reviewed!!o
