Chapter 12
The Meeting of Naruto's Precious People Part 1
Two weeks have passed and it was Oct 10th, Naruto's 16th birthday. Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi and Shizune planned a party in Team 7's old training grounds. Jiraiya invited the Rookie 9 (-Sasuke), Gai's Team, Senseis, other jounins and chuunins, sand siblings, Hiroko, Hikari, Chi, Tai, Hoku, Akira, Ronin, Kiyoshi, Ringo, Haru, and Miki. It was up to Tsunade and Jiraiya to get Naruto to the training grounds without him suspecting anything, but they both know he probably forgot his own birthday, since no one cared before.
"Seriously, why are we going to my old training grounds," asked Naruto, walking along side the two Sannin.
"Don't worry you'll find out when we get here," growled Jiraiya. When they finally got to the grounds everyone yelled
"SURPRISE!" Then Naruto fainted from shock and the fact that people actually remembered his birthday. Tsunade shook him awake.
"Are you serious? A birthday party," asked Naruto, crying happy tears.
"Naturally," said Hiroko, "Happy birthday."
"Well, the youngest one has finally turned 16," teased Hoku.
"Ah, shut up. You not even two weeks older than me," pointed out Naruto. Hoku stuck her tongue out at him.
"Miki and Hiroko cooked all the food," said Miki, giving Naruto a hug.
"Yes, I love you and Hiroko's food," said Naruto, excited. Hoku also gave Naruto a hug and Hiroko ruffled Naruto's hair and all the guys patted him on the back. The party had officially started.
"So you cooked this food," asked Ino to Miki.
"Yes,"
"It's great," complimented TenTen.
"I-I think so too,' said the soft voice of Hinata.
"Isn't her food great," said Hoku, putting her arm around Miki's shoulder in a friendly manner.Sakura was over by the tables of food, where Chouji and Kankurou were, wondering why Naruto never mentioned the people he met on the trip, especially the two girls. Meanwhile Miki went over to talk to Gaara.
"Miki says hi Gaara," she said.
"Hello, Miki," said Gaara, "How have you been doing?"
"Miki has been fine. Miki has missed you and the others too,"
"I missed you too Miki," said Gaara.
"Miki made Gaara's favorite cookies,"
"Really? Thanks, Miki," said Gaara. Now, Temari looked and the two talking. Temari knew Gaara doesn't talk to many girls and thinks some of them are annoying.
"Uh, Hoku?"
"Yes, Temari-san," said Hoku.
"Um Gaara and Miki are quite friendly with each other," said Temari, not knowing how to finish the question.
"Oh yeah Gaara doesn't talk much and Miki is shy sometimes, but they get along great. I think they like each other," said Hoku. As if on cue, Gaara hugged Miki with no sand interference. Everyone, but the others who knew their feelings for each other, thought Gaara had lost it.
"Er, everyone time for presents for the birthday boy," yelled Hiroko.
"I get presents," asked Naruto.
"Of course you do, silly boy," answered Hiroko.
"Sweet," yelled Naruto.
"Okay, you sit in this chair," said Tsunade, pulling a chair up for him. "Hiroko help me move the gifts."
"Sure thing," said Hiroko. Both Tsunade and Hiroko moved the gifts over from behind the food table to in front of Naruto. "Here is the first one." He looked at the name tag to see who it is from.
"From Sakura, Sai, and Yamato," read Naruto. He opened it and it was a new training outfit. The next gift was from Team 10 who gave him 20 coupons to Ichiraku's. Team 8 gave him a medicine bag full of creams, things like that, and a new kunai set. Team Gai gave him a green jumpsuit (From Gai and Lee) and a orange jacket similar to the Yondaime's. Iruka gave him a ramen bowl engraved with his name with chopsticks you can use over and over again.
"This is awesome Iruka-sensei!"
"Hah, I knew you like it," laughed Iruka. The next gift was from Kakashi which was NOT a Icha Icha paradise because he's not stupid, gave him one of the Yondaime's special kunai similar to the one he got from his sensei years ago.
"What is it," asked Naruto.
"I'll explain it to you later," said Kakashi, for once not reading Icha Icha. Naruto shrugged and opened the next present from Kurneai and Asuma. It was a set of black scrolls.
"How can I use this?"
"Say if you make your own jutsu or notes about different things that needs to be recorded," said Kurenai.
"That's cool," said Naruto. The next gift was from Anko, Ibiki, Kotetsu and Izumo. It was books on psychology, mentality, and torture techniques.
"Anko how did you slip that it," asked Iruka.
"Ibiki agreed to it," said Anko, grinning. Iruka sweatdropped.
"Er, thanks," said Naruto. The next one was from the Sand Siblings. They have given him a book on famous artworks, a history of wind Country and a mini-sculpture of a nine tail fox. "Hey this is cool. Gaara did you make it?"
"Yes," said Gaara.
"Thanks," said Naruto, only a few people getting the reference. Naruto's next gift was from Hiroko, Hikari, Chi, and Tai (And Itachi). The young ones drew him pictures, which were really just scribbles, but they a nice gesture anyway. Hiroko (and Itachi) got him twenty five packs of assorted ramen, and some books about different things.
"Hey thanks. I love the drawings," said Naruto. He hugged each other the kids, who were really happy he liked them.
"Suck up," said Hiroko.
"Hey!"
"What they love you and miss you a lot," said Hiroko.
"I think its cute," said Hoku.
"Right, because Tai clings to you, Miki and any girl who gives him attention," snorted Hiroko.
"Oh, hush now Hiroko," said Tsunade, "We still have more gifts to go through." The next gift is from Akira and Ronin. They got him a shogi set, with a box on how to play it.
"Cool, I always wanted to learn to play that," said Naruto. The next gift was from Kiyoshi, Ringo, and Haru which was boxers, undershirts, and a book on how to get a girlfriend.
"WHAT! I DON'T NEED THIS," yelled Naruto. The three boys laughed.
"Relax it was a joke," laughed Ringo.
"We really got you a ticket to a concert that's next year," said Haru.
"Yeah, we got one for you, Gaara, us three, Hoku, Miki, Ronin, and Akira," explained Kiyoshi.
"What band," asked Naruto.
"Full Metal and Flame," said Kiyoshi.
"Aw, that's a great band," said Ino. Sakura looked at her. "What? I like rock music."
"You like that band," asked Haru, the one who got the tickets, "I'll get you a ticket and you can come with."
"Really," asked Ino, starry eyed at seeing one of her favorite bands. "My father wouldn't let me go by myself, because some people think it's too troublesome to come with me." With that Ino glared at her two teammates, who hid behind Shino and Temari.
"Okay, next gift is from Hoku," said Hiroko, picking that gift up and handing it to Naruto. He opened it and it was some water jutsus that only an Ame-nin would know.
"YAY," said Naruto, happy that someone gave him a new jutsu to learn. He gave Hoku a big hug.
"Naruto, can't breathe," gasped Hoku for air.
"Hehehehe sorry," said Naruto. The next gift was from Miki and it was all the recipes that you could make with ramen. "AWESOME MIKI!"
"Miki is glad you like it," she said.
"Okay Shizune' s and my gift now," said Tsunade. Naruto opened the gift and it was some simple medical jutsus that anyone could learn.
" I don't get hurt that much," stated Naruto.
"Yes you do," chorused everyone. Naruto pouted and opened the last gift from Jiraiya. It was the entire collection of Icha Icha series...Kidding...Jiraiya really got him a sword.
"Cool," said Naruto, putting that aside to practice with later. After everyone had given the birthday boy a gift and what not, it was cake time. Miki especially made the cake for Naruto, which it is a ice cream cake and the decorations is a ramen bowl and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY NARUTO in orange. After everyone sang a horrible rendition of the Happy birthday song, Naruto's wish time.
I wish...
I wish for all of their eternal happiness
"So, what did you wish for," asked Kiba and Kiyoshi.
"He can't tell you or it won't come true," said Sakura. So, now it was time for everyone to eat cake and mingle with each other.
"Uh, Naruto," asked Sai, who Naruto was surprised that he came, but he was quiet the whole time.
"Yeah. Oh thanks for getting that outfit with Sakura and Yamato," said Naruto. Sai shoved something in his hand. A picture of everyone at the party, nicely drawn. Naruto smiled and patted Sai on the shoulder. Shino was off in the corner trying not to be noticed when Hoku approached him.
"So, you don't like social gatherings much I guess," asked Hoku.
"Yes..."
"You don't like to talk to other people right?"
"Yes..."
"But you like the bugs that live inside you,"
"How do you know that they live inside of me?"
"I'm not stupid, after the chuunin exams I research the Aburmane, Inuzuka, Hyuuga, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans," stated Hoku.
"So, you aren't freaked out that I have bugs inside of me,"
"Why should I be? Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean anything," said Hoku. Especially since I have a demon inside of me, bugs aren't that bad.
"My apologies,"
"No need, it happens a lot," said Hoku, "Hey are you into ecology by any chance?"
"Yes,"
"You're weird, but that's okay everyone is," said Hoku.
"..."
"Okay I'm leaving you alone now," said Hoku, going off to talk with Miki.
"You Shikamaru, right the genius as Naruto told me," asked Akira.
"Yeah,"
"Wanna lay some shogi with me?"
"With what?"
"Naruto said he'll let us use his new board,"
"How troublesome, fine,"said Shikamaru. So, the two got an area to play. They also had a audience of Ino, Hinata, Asuma, Kurenai, and Kakashi. And the match began, one that would actually challenge Shikamaru too! Ronin and Neji were discussing training techniques with Tenten who was listening.
"So you train all day," said Ronin.
"Yes, with TenTen," said Neji.
"Yeah, sometime I train all day, but I get roped into watching my neighbors little sister while she is getting dinner ready or something," said ronin, talking about Chibi, Kanna, and Raven.
"Is she your girlfriend or something," commented Tenten. Ronin blushed at the thought and shook his head.
"Embarrassed because you want her to be your girlfriend," said Naruto.
"Wha- no," said Ronin. Naruto shook his head and walked away.
"I suppose Naruto has met the girls you speak of," said Neji.
"Yeah," said Ronin.
"Hey you two want some drinks," asked Tenten.
"Sure," said Ronin and Neji.
"I'll be back," said Tenten.
"So, Neji if you train with Tenten all the time, she must be your girlfriend," said Ronin. Now it was the Hyuuga prodigy's turn to blush, but only a little.
"We are just teammates," said Neji, denying it.
"If you say so, but Naruto told me otherwise," said Ronin, smirking.
"What did he tell you," growled the Hyuuga male.
"Oh that when you fight you go easy on her,"
"No I don't,"
"Sure I believe you," said Ronin, now really getting on the Hyuuga's nerve.
"I'm back here are the drinks," said Tenten, handing one drink to Neji and Ronin and kept one for herself, "So what I miss?"
"Nothing," said Neji, fast.
"Wow, your dog is big," said Kiyoshi to Kiba, "Your from the Inuzuka clan right?"
"Yep, me and Akamaru are partners," said Kiba.
"That's cool," said Kiyoshi, petting Akamaru, "Hoku fought you in the Chuunin exams. She said you were good, but she said the bug guy Shino was better."
"Everyone thinks he better than me," grumbled Kiba, "Shino is my teammate you know, and he thinks he is team leader."
"That's because I am," said Shino sneaking up on Kiba.
"Ahhh," screamed Kiba, "You jerk!" He began yelling at Shino, who now ignored him. Kiyoshi just ignored him and kept petting Akamaru. Ringo, Haru, and Chouji were enjoying themselves eating some chips watching Lee do 500 push ups and sit ups.
"Is he always like this Chouji," asked Ringo.
"As far as I know yes," said Chouji, into between chewing.
"Well whatever makes someone happy right," said Haru.
"Yep,"
