Chp.2 A missing Nin's weapon?
------------- One year later ----------------
Naruto watch from the trees as Itachi killed the second ninja with a kunai into his neck. The third and last ninja circled around and came at Itachi from behind. Itachi twisted around while pulling out his katana, and in one fluid motion, slice the ninja cleanly in half. Wiping his weapon on the dead ninja's vest. Turning around, Itachi motion Naruto to come out of his hiding place.
" Did you like the battle, Naruto-kouhai?" Itachi ask his, showing a rare smile.
" Yeah, Itachi-sempai. It was awesome." Naruto told the older boy. " I was even able to copy a Jutsu from the first ninja!"
" Really, that's good…" Itachi began before he was interrupted by his teammates.
" ITACHI-SEMPAI! Where were you?" a man in an ox mask came running up followed by a woman in a cat mask. Both ANBU stop quickly when they spy the three ninjas on the ground. Sighing the cat, ANBU began cleaning up while the ox ANBU spoke with Itachi.
" Itachi-sempai, what happen here? And why is he here?" the ox ANBU ask, pointing at Naruto.
" I wanted him to see a real mission." Itachi said and began to walk off.
The ox ANBU looks at Naruto and back at Itachi, rubbing his chin.
" Whatever." He finally said and moves over to the cat ANBU. Bending down he began to help her. Naruto move over to the two a watch as they worked. Finally they finish and began to head to town.
" Hey Naruto-kun, how has Itachi been?" the ox ANBU question. Naruto look up at him with a questioning look.
" What do you mean?"
" Didn't you know? Itachi's best friend comment suicide the other day." The ox ANBU told him.
" I didn't know that. Itachi-sempai never mentions it." Naruto said with his head down.
" Of course not, why would he bring up something so painful. You guys have no sense." The cat ANBU said beginning an argument with the ox ANBU, while Naruto though about what he had just learned.
------------- Two days later, outside Hokage tower ---------------
Itachi close the main door and continued to walk down the stairs. He had just come from a meeting with the Hokage and council. They were very angry with him for leaving Konoha with Naruto and allowing Naruto to learn several more techniques. His father had also been very angry that he was sending more time with Naruto then his own brother. The more Itachi thought about his father, the more determine he became to go though with his plan. He had already gained more power then any other Uchiha, and all it cost was the death of one person. Looking up at the sky, Itachi smiled. He soon would be free.
------------- One week later, outside konohagakure's gate ---------
Naruto and Kiba laugh to each other, as Akamaru bark on Kiba's head. Not only did the two of them show up that jackass at the restaurant, but also escape without getting in trouble. The Hokage even made him apologize to them both for not allowing them to eat there. Still laughing, neither notices the blond girl picking flowers in front of them.
" What the hell are you to laughing about?" Ino said to the two boys and dog. She was deeply annoyed that her alone time had been interrupt and more so by these two troublemakers. Nearly everyone knew that these two were the biggest pain to Iruka. If one wasn't in trouble, then the other was.
" Because we did something funny, duh." Kiba said plainly, causing Naruto to laugh more and Akamaru bark. With her face slightly red, Ino stood up.
" Shut up dog-boy! Ino said throwing a rock at Kiba, hitting him on the head and causing Akamaru to growl.
" Hey why you hit me, Naruto is the one who's laughing. Forget this, I have to go home anyway." Kiba turn around and Akamaru jump from his master's head to the ground. Noticing Naruto not behind him, Kiba turn his head.
" Aren't you coming Naruto?" Kiba ask the blond boy.
" Mmm. No. I have to wait for Itachi-sempai." Naruto explained. Kiba shrug and head back inside the gate.
Ino sat back down and began to pick flowers again. After a while, she glace over at Naruto, who had his eyes closed. The only thing she knew about him was that he is a prankster and has some kind of bloodline limit. In addition, that he is an orphan from the battle seven years ago. However, the most interesting tidbit was the he was being train by the legendary Uchiha Itachi. As her mind began to imagine Itachi appearing and telling her that she is the only girl for him, Naruto spoke.
" Hey Ino, why are you picking flowers. I mean, don't you live at a flower shop?" Naruto ask her, his voice bring her out of her fantasy.
" Because I love flowers. They are creatures that need tender care, but can also survive against all hope. Their scent fills the air and purifies the very world. They come in millions of different shapes and colors, and they're just like snowflakes, no two are exactly alike." Ino explains, her voice full of wonder. Ino look up at Naruto, who had began to blush.
" What are you blushing at?" Ino ask, beginning to blush herself.
For a moment there was nothing but silence, until a gush of swirling wind appear. From the center, emerge a familiar ANBU member.
" Itachi-sempai!" Naruto yell, happy to have someone else there.
Itachi smile at his blond student and motion for them to leave. Saying a quick goodbye to Ino, Naruto rush after his teacher. As they walk, Naruto notice that something is on Itachi's mind but demises it.
-------------Several hours later, training ground 4 -----------------
Naruto move to pick up the last kunai. Itachi had want to practice dodging and defense. Throughout the entire time, it was as if Itachi was somewhere else. That was unlike Itachi. Finishing, he ran over to his teacher. As they walk to the village Itachi speaks.
" Naruto." Itachi said, catching his student's attention.
" Yeah?" Naruto ask. For some odd reason his body was fill with tension.
" While I am gone you must keep up with your training, understand?"
" Sure, but where are you going? On a mission?" Naruto question but Itachi ignore him. The Uchiha heir stares up at the sky. Finally, he looks at Naruto and smiling, sends off a goodbye as he disappears in a whirl of leaves and wind. That night would be one of the worst nights for Konoha, only eclipsed by the Kyuubi attack.
------------------ Next day, Hokage tower --------------
Naruto sat down in the cold chair. In front of him was the Hokage, with a trouble look on his face. Surrounding the Hokage were the council members, some with angry looks and others with a look of worry. Naruto ad been summon to the Hokage's tower at five in the morning. No one would tell him why, which really got on his nerves. Now neither the Hokage nor council members were saying anything. Not one for staying still or quiet, Naruto act first.
" Why am I here Ojii-sama?" Naruto question, causing the council members to intensify their looks.
" Yesterday you were training with Itachi. I need to know Naruto what did he tell you?" the Hokage stated.
" Hmm… all we talked about was training. He told me that I needed to keep training while he's away on his mission."
" He's lying!" one of the council members yells out, but was hushed by Sandaime. For a while, the Hokage was silence, and then he spoke.
" As of today Naruto, you will be place under the training of Yuuhi Kurenai. You will meet her after school, alright. You're dismissed" Sandaime told Naruto. Naruto was puzzled. Why was he being given a new teacher? What happen to Itachi? Feeling it would be better if he waited to ask, Naruto stood up and head home to change. As he close, the door he heard the council members begin to argue with the Hokage.
-------------- Later that day, after school --------------
To said Kurenai was nerviest was an under statement. Thousand of thoughts whip around inside her mind. She, a mere chuunin, had been given the mission of training Uzumaki Naruto. The vessel of the Ninetails Who had been train by one of the most powerful ninjas of Konoha, the traitor Uchiha Itachi. And why, because she was one of the best genjutsu users staying at the village.
Sighing she hit herself on the head. Naruto couldn't be that bad. The way Hinata was always going on about him when she though no one was around. She just needs to follow orders. To have Naruto train at the Hyuuga compound. Sandaime had told her; Naruto's weakest subject was taijutsu and the Hyuuga clan were some of the best taijutsu users in Konoha. As she opens the door to the class, she heard a bang and yelling.
" Naruto! Stop wasting the smoke bombs! You too, Kiba! Moreover, I told you girls Sasuke is not coming this week, and do not worry why. Everyone settle down or no one goes home." Iruka yell at his students, not noticing the genjutsu user at the door. Naruto and Kiba both laugh and continue to throw smoke bombs at each other. Ino, Sakura, and nearly every other girl in the class had surrounded Iruka and were questioning him about their dear Sasuke.
Kurenai tried to suppress a laugh at the scene when the bell rang. Iruka just sighed and head for the door, saying a quick hello to Kurenai and left along with the students that had began to rush out the room away from the smoke and yelling.
" K-kurenai-sensai. W-Why are you here?" a quiet voice from behind spoke. Kurenai look and smile down at her student. She had been training Hyuuga Hinata ever since her father determined that she was, as he calls it, a failer to the Hyuuga style. However, before she could speak, Naruto appears with Kiba.
" You're going to be my new teacher?" Naruto asked not hiding the interest in his voice.
" A new teacher? Why? What happen to Itachi?" Kiba ask aloud.
" Never mind that. Hinata-chan and Naruto-kun, we should get going, alright?" Kurenai said, trying to steer the tide of questioning away from the Uchiha.
Kiba shrugging, just head on home as the group of three left. Kurenai could just laugh. A light blush had over taken Hinata's face as she walk next to the boy of her dream. Naruto, oblivious to other peoples feeling, continue to speak about all the Justus he knew. Kurenai smiled. Maybe things were not very bad.
End of chp. 2
The reason this story took so long was that I found an amazing doujinshi site, so sorry. Anyway next time: Sasuke returns to school and confronts Naruto, Naruto trains with Hinata, Naruto has more interact with Ino, and the class graduates.
To everyone who reviews thanks. In addition, please keep reviewing. Also someone said that the sharingan gives hypnosis but that's not true. Only the Mangekyo Sharingan gives hypnosis. Normal sharingan doesn't.
