Chapter One
A New Beginning
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any other anime I might mention. I do however own all of the characters I made up.
This is my first fic so if you're going to criticize try to keep it to constructive criticism of face my unholy wrath.
It was graduation day once at the ninja academy in Konoha, and as usual there were a large amount of happy parents gathered outside to greet their successful kids. This year was at first glance a normal year at the academy. But whatever Couryu Tabana was involved with was never anywhere near normal.
"Hey Tseng, did you pass?" Couryu said with a little bit of sarcasm present in his voice.
"With flying colors dude, it was too easy." Tseng replied.
"Yeah I nearly jumped for joy when they said this year's exam was on the Clone jutsu. I wonder who we'll get as an instructor. I hope it's not some lazy bum like Kakashi."
"Yeah I don't want to have to wait for half an hour every day before a mission. So what are you going to do to celebrate? My families throwing a big party since I'm the first ninja trained since we moved here."
"Well much as I'd enjoy to just cut lose and celebrate I have a feeling a certain bushy browed ninja is gonna bug me to let him train me. Personally I think I might take him up on his offer."
"He's still buggin you about that? Oh well as long as you don't start wearing one of those ridiculous green leotard things."
"Ha ha you can count on that those things are gross. Well I gotta go do something at least. See ya!" With that said Couryu took of onto the rooftops to head home to get some rest for tomorrow. On the way home he saw one of his favorite subjects of harmless insults. "Hey ninetails what are you doing on a fine night such as this." He said with a playful grin on his face.
"Argh, how many times to tell you not to call me that?" replied everyones favorite fox ninja a stupid grin forming on his face as usual. "Hey that reminds me I heard you graduated first in your class, congrats."
"Yup, it was easy, the only bad thing is I heard people comparing me to a certain black haired moron. Hey wanna go get ramen or something I'm trying to avoid going home so as to avoid bushy brows, I'm pretty sure he's trying to track me down and if he told my neighbor about it she'd call him and tell him I'm there."
"Who' your neighbor?" Naruto asked in curiosity.
"Ten Ten, although I wouldn't be surprised if she was at Neji's right now."
"Yeah, I hear they cant keep off each other. I personally am more of the cuddle type." Naruto said smiling brightly. " Sorry but I cant go get ramen I have to go meet Sakura in 15 minutes, see ya". After Naruto takes off Couryu looks around before heading over to the only place he can think of to avoid Rock Lee, outside Konoha alltogether. He stops at his house for a second to grab some camping supplies before trying to sneak off to the gate. Unfortunately he is unsuccesful and runs into the very person he is trying to avoid.
"I have finally found you" Rock Lee states in his usual emotional voice."You said that on the day you graduate you would tell me whether or not you would let me train you in Taijutsu".
"You know I've been thinking about it, and my answer is yes. I figured that the Iron Fist style would be good to use in combination with the Dragon Fist. But, to tell you the truth I would prefer to learn the Hyuuga's taijutsu, no offence to you. Of course I'd have to be an annoying Hyuuga for that, and I'm not. After my first mission I'll come see you about my training".
'Well now that that's done with I guess I might as well forget about my camping trip' Couryu thought a smile coming to his face. 'I wonder what I should do then. It's gonna be pretty boring without Tseng around. Guess I'll just eat and go to sleep'.
To Be Continued.
