Sorry, I know many out there want to kill me for being six months behind on an update but I have several good excuse. The computer I use to write my stories crash, I had to get a job, I have a new brother on the way, I'm not going to school anymore, I was working on my own manga and website , and all these things left me with very little time to write. But I promise from now on, I'll update every three weeks if possible. I also promise to starting with the next one make my stories longer and more detail.
Have you all be keeping up with the (Japanese) manga. Hinata returns all grown up. Sasuke finally reappears, and I'm not a real big fan of sasuke ( he needs to have his ass kick) but he looks so cool now. AND FINALLY WE GET TO MEET ANOTHER BIJUU, THE TWO TAILS. YAH!
Now on with the story.
Chp.3 Graduation of Konoha's weapon
Kurenai, Naruto, and Hinata arrive at the massive huge mansion. Kurenai leads the trio into the main dojo hall where sat several Hugo's including Hanoi and Haiti. Naruto notice the mood in the hall was less then happy. He also notices Hinata begin to squirm beside him. Naruto not knowing anything about the dynamics of the Hyuuga clan decided it was because she was nerves about being here with him. The trio sits opposite of the Hyuuga and Haiti addresses Naruto.
"Do you understand why you are here?" Hiashi question the yellow-haired child.
"Kind of. The get additional training in taijutsu." Naruto answer back.
"Good. Today we will only try to get a sense of his abilities. You will spar with Hanabi." Hiashi reply motioning for Hanabi to stand up.
Naruto, slightly confused by the fact that he will be fighting a little girl and not Hinata, takes his place opposite of Hanabi and Hiashi commands them to begin.
Hanabi takes off for Naruto first and attempts to use a juken. Naruto twist around and does a sweeping sidekick. Hanabi doges backwards out of range and maneuvers behind Naruto. She tries another juken but Naruto spins around and grabs her wrist. Hanabi kicks him in the crest, causing him to release her. The two rests as their spectators watch the small bout impressed.
'So this is the ability of the fox child. He can stand up to Hanabi with his meger taijutsu skills even though she is several times stronger then most academy students. Heh.' Hiashi thinks.
'Amazing! I never knew Naruto-kun was so strong. It must be because of the nine tails and Itachi-san. I have my work cut out for me cosering neither have used their bloodline abilities' Kurenai thinks.
'Naruto-kun is so strong. I'm nowhere near either of their levels. Sigh' Hinata thinks.
Getting their second wind, both children get set to begin again but before either moves, Hiashi stands up.
"Very good both of you." Hiashi tells the two and Hinata's heart sinks even lower into the vast ocean of her depression. Hiashi continues "that is all we need now everyone is demised."
As the various ninjas begin to leave Hiashi calls for a moment of Naruto's time. The two walk into a different room and Hiashi turns to Naruto.
"You may not have known this but I knew both of your parents." Hiashi says sparking Naruto's interest.
"Both of them would have been proud of you."
"You know who they were?" Naruto ask the older ninja. "Could you tell me about them, like their names or something? Even if it's only if they died or what. No one has ever told me anything, not even the old man. "
Hiashi could see the desperation in the young fox-child's eyes. Sighing Hiashi spoke.
"No one is allowed to speak of who your parent's are, and the truth is many don't know. For now all I can tell you are that your father died the night the kyuubi attacked. As for your mother, she soon left Konoha to train." Hiashi spoke as he began to walk away.
-----Later, on the Hokage monument--------
Naruto lied with his head cupped in both his hands on the stone ground. He stares up at the setting sun as he bit on his lower lip. Next to him, Ino sat twirling a leaf between her fingers. Finally finish thinking about everything Naruto had told her, she spoke.
"So Hinata's father basically said that your mother left you shortly after the attack. But what I don't get is why? Why leave a newborn child an orphan unless you have no other choose." Ino said and return to twirling her leaf. Naruto continue to stare up into the heavens.
Out of all the people Naruto knew (which could be counted on two hands) Ino was the only one he had told that he was the vessel of the furious demon fox. Naruto himself had learn that fact a year ago when Itachi had told him in secret. Knowing that truth had explained everything to Naruto. Why people treated him the way they did, how he had a bloodline limit never before seen, and why he was so strong.
Looking out the side of his eyes, Naruto still didn't know what drew him to tell the blond girl or why even now she still acted the same around him.
"What are you looking at?" Ino asked spying Naruto watching her. Then with a misvisous smile as she looks away, she said laughing "what a pervert."
As Naruto attempt to explain away the staring, far above the duo, above all of Konohagakure, a star sail by with a beautiful tail of color.
--------------- 4 years later ---------------------------
Naruto busted through the doors that had once been an impenetrable barrier between his past and his future. HE WAS A GENIN. Naruto had passed the test like a hot knife through butter. Naruto rush to the spot where his friends were waiting. Turning the corner he spotted them. Ino and Shikamaru were in another argument, probably about why he wouldn't date her. Chouji sat up against a tree stuffing himself with chips. Kiba with Akamaru watched from the sidelines, looking really annoyed.
Deciding he didn't want to get involve (and because of his growing jealousy towards Shikamaru), Naruto decide to find Hinata, who sometimes just aimlessly wander around the village watching other families. It was depressing to Naruto to see Hinata so sad all the time. Before he knew it, Naruto collide with someone as he was walking. Thinking of a way to said sorry, he realizes it was Sasuke he had bump into.
Sasuke glare at him and turn, beginning to walk away. Naruto was not able to stand people like⦠well like Sasuke for any amount of time. They just bugged him. For the last four years, Sasuke had kept to himself, even thought Naruto knew Sasuke wanted to fight him bad. A small smile flash across his face as Naruto stood up.
-------- Training ground #8 ----------
Naruto stare out across the giant field where here and there a few tree broke the monotone feel. While calm on the outside, Naruto was anything but that on the inside. He was practically giddy at the through of fighting an Uchiwa once again.
Naruto sent a side glace at Sasuke, but like any skilled shinobi he didn't reveal much. Here they would fight. Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji watch from the sidelines as Kiba acted as judge. Taking a place opposite of each other both waited for Kiba to give the signal to begin. With a bark, Akamaru gave the signal and both ninjas started.
Pulling out a kunai, Sasuke charge at Naruto who began the handsigns for his shadow clones and as Sasuke reached him, Naruto surround the area in smoke as he create them. Confused at first, Sasuke saw a flash of orange and threw his kunai at it.
Suddenly Sasuke was force back when a shuriken flew by. Grabbing a kunai, Sasuke reflect two shuriken aimed for him. Jumping out of the smoke, Sasuke was soon follow by six Narutos. Naruto could see the confusion and then the anger flash across sauce's face. Was he jealous because Naruto could make shadow clones? Smiling Naruto sent five of the clones forward as he began making handsigns. Sasuke took out two clones and saw Naruto begin the handsigns.
Sasuke toss two kunai at Naruto but a clone intercepts them and with a flash of fire, Naruto blew out a giant fireball. Sasuke was too surprise by this to notice the clone behind him. In an instant the fight was over, with a clone pinning Sasuke down in the grass. But before anyone could say anything, Iruka appeared.
"Naruto, Sasuke. You both know it's against the rules to hold private fights. Now the six of you need to come with me. The Hokage has asked for all ninjas and that includes you." Iruka said pointing to the tower in the middle of Konoha.
end of chapter 3
