Tori: I just want to say that I thank anyone who has read this. I never knew I would actually get 160 hits and two story alerts on this story as I have very boring plotlines and such. As I mentioned before in Shajitsuteki Gensou, I lack much self-confidence. -sighs- I need to build it up but I have nearly close to no reviews here...at least, to me anyway.
Kage: If anyone's OOC, we are sincerely sorry as we don't know much of their personalities...-sweatdrops-
Tori: A special thank you to Blu Rose for the two websites. Me and my muses are forever indebted to you and we shall keep reading Naruto X. It is truly a great story in our taste. -smiles brightly-
Hikaru: Enjoy it and don't hesitate to review or flame. As long as we actually have a review. You can say "I really like it!" or "Keep it up!". We don't really care. We are never picky about these things.
A new generation...new enemies...new allies...and most of all...new demons and secrets...
A Demon's Seal
Kakashi was one who arrived at least two hours late. He wasn't lazy; he just didn't feel like arriving on time. But he knew that even if the current Hokage was or rather, had been his student, he would get yelled at as he always did.
When he walked through the doors of the Hokage office after saying (or nodding) hello to Shikamaru and the guards, he saw Gai (he nearly had the mind to run off right there) and two other jonins (at least he thought they were) there, waiting for him. He had never seen the two jonins before and was curious on who they were. He knew they were from Konoha; the leaf headband they carried proved it.
"You're late!" the Hokage yelled, pointing at him and standing up.
Kakashi scratched his head sheepishly. "Sorry but I saw a cat jump off a building and had to save it. When I did, the owner came and thought I was kidnapping it and I had to-"
"LIAR!" Naruto shouted at him. Kakashi chuckled from underneath his mask. The Kyuubi holder was still the same...
"Ah my eternal rival! I have beat you from a record of 49 to 52! I being the 52! How do you like that!" Gai suddenly exclaimed, pointing at him in a ridiculous pose. Kakashi suppressed the urge to run out of the office...again.
"Naruto, why are we here?" Kakashi asked, ignoring Gai's words.
"To tell you of these two jonins and your teams," he informed. He gestured to the two who were looking at Gai like he was crazy; Kakashi didn't blame them. "This is Saruku Takeda and Irine Kato. Saruku-san, Irine-san, these two are Kakashi Hatake and Gai Maito. Saruku-san's and Irine-san's teams are their first ones."
Saruku had dark green hair which reached to his shoulders and was tied back messily with calculating light brown eyes. He wore a black t-shirt with blue shorts that reached to his knees. He wore fishnets on his arms and a single white glove on his right arm. From his knees down to his ankles were wrapped in bandages and his feet were covered by black and brown shoes. His hitai-ate leaf headband was around his forehead where it was suppose to go.
Irine had crimson red hair which reached to her middle back and had piercing ruby red eyes. She wore a brown vest over a red long sleeve shirt with white stripes down the sleeves. Her leaf green skirt reached two inches above her knees and had fishnet stockings with a pair of black boots which reached three inches below her knees. Her hitai-ate was around her neck loosely and she had a red and green ribbon tied around her neck like a choker.
"Hello," Irine greeted with a polite bow.
"Hey," Saruku said with a lazy wave of his hand.
"Yo," was all Kakashi said to the two jonins.
"Ah. The springtime of youth is a wonderful thing, don't you think? And the two of you are new to teaching! How wonderful!" Gai exclaimed, clasping Irine's hand which caused her to jump in surprise.
Naruto cleared his throat and all attention were back at him. Gai was still clasping Irine's hands until Saruku grasped Irine's shoulders and pulled her away from the jonin. He glared at Gai which the man didn't notice but Kakashi did. He placed it in his mind for later thought. "Here are the names of your students and all that other stuff. Kakashi won't be late as you usually will...will you?"
Kakashi smirked. "I'll be there." They both knew it meant he wasn't going to be on time even if he was going to be there.
"Why do I even try...?" Naruto sighed.
"Is that all Hokage-sama?" Irine asked. He nodded. "Great! Let's go Saruku-kun. Keisuke-kun's waiting for us to eat go out and eat ramen. I can't believe he actually like that stuff." She grabbed Saruku's wrist and the two headed outside of the room.
"Aw...I want ramen now. Take me with you!" Naruto shouted after the two jonins. He then slumped down on his chair.
"My rival, Kakashi, let's have a battle to test our strength! I shall win this time!" Gai yelled, doing one of his famous (or infamous) poses.
"Huh?" Kakashi looked at him dully. "You said something?" Naruto and Gai noticed that he was reading Icha Icha Paradise again. Naruto groaned and muttered "Pervert" under his breath while Gai thought '50-52. I lost again!' Kakashi silently walked off, still reading Icha Icha Paradise.
"Uhh...Gai, you can leave now, you know," Naruto said to the man in front of him.
"Of course! The young youths of today await me for guidance! I must go now, Hokage-sama! I bid you farewell!" and the jonin rushed out of the office so fast that he became a blur of green. Naruto shook his head and prayed for the three students who would be in Gai's teaching. He looked at the paperwork on his desk and groaned. "I'm beginning to wish Sasuke was back from his mission with Ikeda-san..."
Two people were walking through a forest.
"How much?" one of them asked dully.
"Tomorrow or two days probably," the other answered.
The first one frowned. "Great."
Then a bunch of ninjas, possibly chunins or jonins, appeared from no where.
"Say it again," the second one said.
"Great," and he activated his Sharingan.
"Hm." The second one pulled out a bunch of shurikens and threw them at the chunins. "You get jonins. I'll chunins."
The boy frowned at her, upset that he had to fight against the stronger enemies, but obeyed anyway.
A boy with black haired and light green eyes yawned as he waited for his teacher to come. He wore a grey shirt under a black jacket with pair of blue pants. His hitai-ate was on his forehead, shining from the sunloght that reflected off it. "I'm bored. When's the teacher coming?"
His two other teammates were a boy and girl. The girl shrugged. "Don't know. How about you, Kyohaku-kun?"
The other boy shrugged and didn't answer. He had dark red hair with blank white eyes. He wore a black sleeveless shirt under a white t-shirt with a pair of dark green shorts. He had bandages wrapped from knee down and the elbow down. His hitai-ate was around his neck.
The girl pouted when the boy didn't say anything to her. She had shoulder length orange hair with dark green eyes. She had on a red tank top and a brown skirt which reached to her knees. She wore fishnet gloves and stockings and her hitai-ate was around her forehead as well. "The teacher's late by..." She glanced at the clock.
"An hour and a half," the black haired boy responded instantly. The girl groaned.
"Hello." A silver haired man appeared at the door.
"You're late!" the girl and black haired boy shouted, pointing at him.
Hmm...so much like them. "Ah sorry. I got lost on the road of life," he said.
"How do you get lost on the road of life?" the black haired boy asked, confused.
Kakashi sighed and told them to follow him. They went outside and he looked down on them. "Now tell me a bit about yourselves."
"Like what?" the girl asked.
"Name, hobbies, likes, dislikes, dreams. You know. Those sort of things," he explained. "Why don't you go first, orange head."
The girl crossed her arms and pouted at the nickname. "My name's Inju Tanaka. I like to train and hang out with my friends. I hate you since you made us wait for an hour and a half and I also hate rainy days."
Kakashi nodded absentmindedly. "How about you?" He pointed at the black haired boy.
He grinned. "The name's Daisuke Kamikara and I'm going to be the seventh Hokage and be the best one there is! I also like ramen and training but hate it when someone kills without reason."
Kakashi raised an eyebrow. Interesting...so he's the one... "Last one."
"My name's Kyohaku Hyuuga and I hate fanclubs along with girls. Inju is an exception since she isn't after me. I like sushi and my goal is to fight a strong shinobi and ask to be his or her student."
Kakashi's raised eyebrow went higher. This one's interesting too...
"What about you sensei?" Inju asked.
Kakashi grinned (although one couldn't really see it since it was behind a mask) and said, "My name's Kakashi Hatake. My dreams are only for me as well as my hobbies and dislikes but I will tell you that I like to be unpredictable."
The students stared at him with confusion written all over their faces, only Kyohaku's confusion was more hidden than the other ones. Kakashi grinned further and said, "We'll start the test tomorrow. Meet me at the bridge at 5 am sharp. Oh and don't eat breakfast. You'll just throw it back up."
"What test?" but the jonin had already disappeared in a poof of smoke.
Inju looked thoughtful for a while. Daisuke looked at her. "What is it?"
"I read something that mentioned Kakashi Hatake but...I don't remember what..." she replied, tilting her head sideways.
Daisuke shrugged. "Oh well." Then he grinned. "Wanna go eat some ramen?"
Inju crossed her arms. "Why ramen? I want something else!"
"Oh come on," Daisuke whined. "Please?" He was nearly begging on his knees.
Inju sighed but nodded, giving in. The boy grinned brightly and turned to Kyohaku. "Wanna come?" The Hyuuga shrugged and gave a swift nod. "Whoohoo!" and the three headed towards Ichiraku.
A group of three were eating at a cafe at a table that was near the back. Two were boys, one a girl. A small dog who had white fur was sitting quietly by one of the boy, eating a dish of dog food.
The girl had short grey hair with soft violet eyes. She wore a red tank-top over a white shirt and a pair of blue pants with white stripes down the side. Her hitai-ate was around her forehead and had a silver chain wrapped around her arm from her hand to elbow. A black whip was wrapped and tied around her waist, handle dangling in the front.
The one who owned the white dog had light brown hair which had a few red strands and dark brown eyes with hints of hazel brown mixed in the iris. He had a brown sleeveless jacket with a dark blue t-shirt underneath and a pair of black shorts. Bandages were wrapped around his knee down, neck, forehead. His hiati-ate covered his forehead. A whistle was dangling from around his neck.
The last member of their team was a boy with black hair and dark green hidden behind a pair of sunglasses. He wore a black high color jacket over a fishnet shirt and a pair of long white pants. His hitai-ate was around his forehead as well.
The girl was drinking an ice-cream soda, the dog boy was eating french fries and chocolate ice-cream, and the sunglass wearing boy was eating a piece of carrot cake.
"So what do you think of our new teacher?" the girl asked, breaking the silence between the three.
The sunglass wearing boy just continued eating. The girl looked at the dog boy who opened his mouth to take a bite out of three french fries and spoke.
"Saruku-sensei is interesting. I've never met anyone outside the Inuzuka clan who can speak to Hakumaru before..."
"I heard the Takeda clan can speak to animals." the last boy mumbled, surprising them over the fact that he spoke. Well, surprising the dog boy. The girl was pondering over what he had just said.
"Is that true, Araki-kun?" The boy nodded. "Hmm...this sort of gives me an idea on the survival training tomorrow..."
"What, Raine?" the Inuzuka boy asked.
"Kumori my dog boy, you'll need to use Hakumaru for this," the girl stated with a devious grin.
"Why?" he asked, dread filling his mind.
"Part of the plan?" Araki asked knowingly.
Raine smirked. "Of course."
Kumori shook his head as Hakumaru whined slightly, burying his head in his paws. "I know, Hakumaru. She has that look again..."
"What look?" Raine snapped angrily.
Kumori sighed as he dipped a bunch of fries in the ice-cream. "Never mind. What's the plan?"
Raine smirked and whispered it into their ears.
A girl was punching a tree rapidly while her two companions sat on the grass near her.
The girl had shoulder length blonde hair with light green eyes. She wore a black sleeveless shirt with a grey mini skirt. Her entire arm and leg were wrapped in bandages and her hitai-ate was on her right arm.
One of the boys had light brown hair with dark brown eyes. He wore a simple dark green jacket which was unzipped to reveal a black t-shirt and a pair of black shorts. His hitai-ate was around his forehead.
The last of the girl's companions was a boy with black hair and chocolate brown eyes. he was sort of chubby with a white shirt, leaf green jacket, and brown pants. He was wearing the hitai-ate around his forehead and was eating a bag of chips while leaning against a tree, looking at the girl train.
The brunette, who was lying down on the grass and observing the clouds go by, suddenly said, "Can't believe we have a female teacher..."
The girl stopped training and glared at him. "Are you saying that girls can't become ninjas, Shiroi-kun?"
The brunette sighed and said, "No, Tsuyu. I'm just saying that female teachers are just...hard to come by."
The black-haired boy joined in on the conversation. "Shiroi-kun's right. Most female ninjas wanna be medic-nin instead of teaching genins."
The girl, Tsuyu, glared at the chips-eating boy. "Iyoru, why are you still eating when you should be training?"
The boy gulped and said, "It's not my fault I'm hungry!"
Shiroi suddenly said, "Irine-sensei had said that she was going to make Iyoru lose weight."
Tsuyu laughed. "Good luck to Irine-sensei then. It's pretty much hopeless to get Iyoru-kun to lose weight and not eat."
Iyoru crossed his arms and looked offended. "Excuse me? I'll lose weight even without Irine-sensei's help!"
Shiroi sighed heavily as Tsuyu smirked at the statement. "That's what she wants you to say, Iyoru."
"Oh." Now he was beginning to feel manipulated...
Tsuyu went back to punching the tree. "Well, I'm glad to have her as our teacher. She seems pretty cool."
"Hope we can pass the test tomorrow..." Iyoru mumbled, eating his chips again.
"Don't say that! You'll jinx it!" Tsuyu accused.
"Ah!"
Shiroi sighed. "How troublesome."
"The teacher still scares me..."
"Aimi, he wears a green jumpsuit and has bushy eyebrows. What normal person wouldn't still be scared of him?"
Aimi crossed her arms and pouted, white eyes looking at the green-haired boy before her. "Oh be quiet, Mitsuki-kun."
The green-haired boy looked at the red-haired girl with his orange eyes, amused. "Just stating the truth. Isn't that right, Hotaru?" He looked at the boy next to him. He had long orange hair and yellowish eyes. He nodded in agreement with Mitsuki.
"You both are against me!" Aimi exclaimed, throwing her arms up in the air.
Aimi, Hotaru, and Mitsuki were both unfortunate enough to get Gai as their teacher. Gai's speeches on the "power of youth" and the "fire burns deep within you!" had scared the boys speechless, even if Hotaru doesn't talk in the first place.
The sister of Kyohaku, Aimi was a Hyuuga with red hair and wore a loose jacket and a pair of loose pants. Her hitai-ate was around her neck and her hair was tied up in a ponytail.
Hotaru had on a black shirt that was several sizes bigger than him and a pair of navy blue shorts. His orange hair draped over his shoulders, causing him to look too much like a girl. A sickle and chain was wrapped underneath his giant shirt and only the tip of the blade was showing.
Mitsuki was a pretty boy with his forest green bangs hanging over his pale orange eyes. He wore a red tight shirt with a pair of black pants which ended with bandages. His neck was also wrapped in bandages while his hitai-ate rested on the top of his head. A boomerang about 5 foot was strapped behind him (Imagine Sango's from Inu-Yasha).
The three had Gai for the rest of their life until they become chunin...unfortunately. Neji, Aimi's older cousin and head of the branch family, had actually threatened to kill her if she turned out like their teacher.
Flashback
"Aimi Hyuuga, if you ever dye your hair black and have a bowl cut, I'll whack you over the head thirty times. If you start wearing a jumpsuit, I'll smack you over the head one hundred times. If you start doing the "ping" thing when you smile, pose, and a sunset happen behind you, I'll let the servants starve you. If you start shouting about the springtime of youth, I'll start training you with all my strength. If you start doing all of them,I'll just take a sword and kill you."
Flashback Ended
Let's hope Aimi, Hotaru, and Mitsuki can survive without one of them turning like their sensei...
