Chapter two is here!

You know, Gai is a really fun character to write, he's just so… youthful… Anyways, the explanation of the pill thing was rushed simply because I wanted to get Naruto to the academy ASAP. Lastly, I sealed Naruto's chakra up because he'd be way too overpowered with it all.

Note, I DO NOT plan on making this a very serious story, I hate writing fight scenes. Akatsuki and Orochimaru are still out there, but I really don't think they'll appear in this story. Sasuke was saved because, well, I have no clue. Overall, I suggest you go by this line from the beginning of the last story,

"Abandon all Logic beyond this point." Not a direct quote, but it sounds cooler.

I may make this serious later on, but right now, don't worry much about enemies attacking the village, cause it isn't going to happen ANY time soon.

DISCLAIMER – I do not own Naruto! If I did, you'd see more character development with everyone else besides Sasuke! God, I hate Sasuke…

"Speaking"

Thinking

(Naruto's apartment.)

Naruto came back to his apartment today, knowing what he had to do. Ok, I need to take a shower… anything else? He quickly made the rest of his mental list as he went to take a shower.

Afterwards he went into the kitchen portion of his little apartment, and hid the pills Tsunade had given him, he knew if given to the wrong people… "Ah hell, she said it would kill other people, so why am I hiding it?" Suddenly at that moment his rational thought came and he muttered, "Oh well, might as well hide it JUST in case."

He quickly did a Genjitsu… or attempted to… "Damnit! Stupid chakra being sealed up…asshole pills… stupid stupid…" He continued to mutter until he finally focused his chakra enough to complete the technique. He smiled at his handy work, and went outside.

His shorter Blonde hair, and covered up whisker marks really… didn't change hi appearance at all… Even with black clothing on her looked like Uzumaki Naruto. "Damn, is everyone in this village an idiot?" Truthfully, the only reason no one was able to identify who he was, was because of some sort of side effect from the pills.

How did he know this? Well, maybe the fact that it says, 'May cause people to not notice you, even if you look the same.' Of course, it is something Tsunade made, so he expected that this was made on purpose. "Got to thank you next time I see you…" He muttered as he turned to lock his door.

He then continued down the street to where he assumed the Hyuuga manor was. Of course, he really didn't know where it was; he never had a reason to go there. The Hyuuga district luckily, was easy enough to find. He continued walking while looking around until he finally reached a rather large gate. Two Hyuuga men stood guard, while they wore some kind of armor around them.

"State your business with the Hyuuga." The one to the left of the large gate said. The other nodded, his eyes narrowing at the child.

"Call me Nawaki Naruto, I am here because Hanabi and I were able to pass the test to become Genin!" He cheered.

The one to the right then answered saying, "Yes, Hanabi told us her team member would be coming tonight." After a few second, he turned to open the gate and said, "Please, do not cause any trouble within here."

Naruto nodded and walked in. He was seriously in a state of awe. On both sides of him were two huge buildings that probably held the branch family. Naruto notice that even the grass looked greener here. The few plants within the front yard were very well attended to, and right in front of him stood a building that made the Hokage tower seem small.

Note the 'seem' in that.

It stood high, and Naruto could only assume that that is where the Main family lived, so Naruto shrugged and walked in.

"This place is… huuuuuge…" He muttered under his breath. He looked around. To his left was a long hallway, ad that was also the same for his right. In front of him were a few Hyuuga guards again. Naruto smiled and walked over to them.

"Excuse me sir, can you tell me where Hanabi is?" Naruto asked kindly.

The man nodded and said, " You may find her by turning to the left, after walking down the hallways, turn right, then left right away. That should lead you straight to her room." The guard said in a bored voice.

Naruto decided to ask, "So, you enjoy standing right there forever?"

"Hardly." The guy admitted dryly. After a little bit he amended it by saying, "But the Main family must be protected, so I and my partner over there…" He nudged his shoulder in the direct of the other guard, "Must stay here to…protect."

"Sounds…" Naruto didn't know how to finish so he said, "Boring."

The guard sighed and muttered, "Yeah… just go have fun kid…" He then stood up straighter and kept watch. After about thirty seconds, and Naruto not leaving he asked, "Do you need something?"

"Not really…" Naruto said.

"Why are you still here?" The guard asked again, getting slightly annoyed.

Naruto looked up at him with a piercing look and said, "Are you part of the Branch family?"

The guard muttered a quick, "Yes."

"Ok…" Naruto stated, after a few minutes he said, "Well, I'm leaving, you have fun standing there." Naruto then ran down the hall to find Hanabi.

"Yeah… be good kid…" The guard muttered.

Naruto quickly went down the halls with the directions he got from the guard and quickly found a door with the label of 'Hanabi'. He knocked a few times and called out, "Hey, Hanabi you there?"

Suddenly the door opened and a head popped out. "You're here already? Didn't I just tell you to come for dinner?" She asked rudely. Her hair was a mess, she was probably trying to clean it before the dinner.

"Already? It's almost six! What kind of family eats dinner later than that?" Naruto practically shouted.

Hanabi looked at him like he was an idiot, "Naruto, I don't know where you were raised, but many families eat after six… You should believe me, Hyuuga are always right…"

"OH NO! Don't go into that whole Hyuuga are always right thing you little worm!" Naruto shouted.

She made a face at him and quickly closed the door. From behind it Naruto could hear her saying, "Go do something productive, come back in two hours are something!"

"Hey! We're teammates! Shouldn't we like, get to know each other better or something?" Naruto shouted back in to her. "I mean in my tea--- I mean, my team when I played ninja we got to know each others weaknesses and strengths so we could make up plans and things for certain situations!"

Hanabi spoke up from her side of the door and said, "Don't worry, I am a Hyuuga, we won't need any plans, because the enemy will cower in fear."

"Oh yeah!" Naruto shouted, getting a little heated, "Some very huge bulky Shinobi is going to be fighting us, but when he figures out you're a Hyuuga, he'll just turn into a small little coward and you can easily take him down!"

"Yep." Hanabi said.

"Damn it girl! That was freaking Sarcasm!" Naruto shouted. He tried to remember something that could make Hanabi cooperate some more. "Ah! Remember when Gai told us a team is supposed to work together! Well, why don't you follow his advice!"

Silence reigned for only a second before Hanabi said, "He's an idiot."

"YOU'RE HOPELESS!" Naruto shouted banging on her door. "I can't believe I have to work with another Sasuke… no, someone worse than him!" He muttered to himself.

Suddenly the door opened and Hanabi muttered, "If you won't leave, you can come in and we can…'talk'." She said as if the word was almost foreign to her… Now that Naruto thought of it, it probably was. He noticed she was wearing the same clothing from earlier, and her hair was a little bit more presentable than it was before.

Naruto walked in and noticed that everything was…. Boring looking. Her dresser was a white color much like her eyes… same with her desk… and bed frame… and… oh fuck it, everything was white! "This room reminds me of that one room in that one place where I was once before." Naruto mentioned.

"Very descriptive." Hanabi muttered sarcastically, as she sat down on her bed. "So, what do you want to speak about?"

"Well…" Naruto thought. "What do you do in here?" He asked as he sat down on the floor.

Hanabi then muttered, "I did academy work on that desk over there, and I slept on this bed at the end of the day. I also get dressed…" She said, thinking this was a stupid question.

"That was rather…" Naruto didn't know how to finish his sentence so he said, "So, besides what you said when we first met our sensei, what do you do?"

Hanabi looked at him and muttered, "Everything I said was what I do. I left nothing out."

Naruto looked like he was about to scream at her for being so boring but instead he said, "No wonder you're so bitchy."

He said that outloud, and Hanabi heard it. It would have normally made her punch him, but she had restrained herself from acting on anger.

Before Hanabi could say anything Naruto raised up his hand and said, "Do you know what a thumb war is?"

"No." She answered. "It sounds pretty stupid though." She added as an after thought.

"Yeah… about as stupid as you…" Naruto muttered. Hanabi heard this and narrowed her eyes at the boy. "ANYWAYS, a thumb war is when we put our hands together like this…" He grabbed her hand and put it into his, "Then we both raise our thumbs and finally we try to tackle each others thumb down using only your thumb."

"Ok…" She muttered.

Naruto looked at her and said, "Begin!" He quickly took her thumb down without any resistance. "Hey, that was too easy! You gotta fight back at least!" He shouted at her.

She sighed and said, "Yeah, this game is stupid…"

"You're just saying that because you know you can't beat me at it." He smile and said, "Yeah, some Hyuuga pride you got there."

"Hey boy, I can kick your ass at this if I wanted to, I just don't feel like it!" She raised her head to the side with a 'humph!'

Naruto laughed and said, "Sure you can Hanabi! I doubt you could beat me in anything!" He continued laughing some more, royally pissing off Hanabi.

"For your information, I could beat you in that simple game! And… and I will!" She quickly grabbed his hand prepared to beat the Blonde this time. They fought this time, and yet again Naruto won…

"Ha! Some Hyuuga you are! Being beat by me! Maybe you should just admit that you'll need me to help you through these missions we'll be taking!" He continued laughing and added, "Oh boy, I have to make sure you pick the weeds and not the plants, don't pick up garbage near a waterfall and choose dogs that you know won't pull you into a minefield!"

Naruto said all that because it had ALL happened to him before, of course, Hanabi didn't know this…

She stood up and yelled, "I want a rematch!" She quickly grabbed his hand again and got the same results as last time. "Best two out of three!" She said when she lost again. This lasted quite some time, while Naruto was having a blast winning against this girl, and Hanabi was getting pissed that she couldn't win against this non-Hyuuga.

"Ah, you know, I love winning. Next time we should gamble. I'd be rich by the end of it!" Naruto said happily as he fell back on to the floor. "Ah all the money!" He pretended to swim through a truckload of it, knowing this would piss her off even more.

She looked at Naruto with disbelief; first he would win a few… I don't know, hundred games. Then he'd rub it back in her face! Only Hyuuga could do that! No one can do it to her! "Naruto! I challenge you to a different game!" She shouted after a little bit.

Naruto looked up from his daydream and sat up. "What game do you suggest, 'Hanabi-sama'." He said her name, dripping with sarcasm.

"I order YOU to pick it out!" She said pointing a finger at Naruto.

Naruto looked at her closely and then said, "Awww, poor little Hanabi doesn't know any other games does she!" He then laughed some more, making the girl in question get red in the face. "Ok," He said once he saw her expression, "How about 'Rock, Paper, Scissors.'"

She nodded and said, "Ok, how do you play this game?"

"Stop glaring at me, and MAYBE I'll tell you!" He said as he turned his back to her. "Maybe your Hyuuga pride will suffer if you don't accept this."

He's mocking me… She thought to herself. Though she knew this, she dropped the glare and let out a breath. She quickly closed her eyes and reopened them. "Ok, Tell me how to play now." She muttered.

Naruto turned around and smiled. "You look pretty when you're not glaring." He said to her.

Hanabi suddenly felt her face turn on fire. "What?" She simply asked. Her shocked expression of what he said began making Naruto crack up.

"Come on Hanabi-chan it was a compliment!" He said, still laughing. "It doesn't hurt to get a few once in a while." He straightened himself out, and stopped snickering.

"I-I know what I compliment is! I just have never gotten any from anyone else outside of the clan before." If possible her cheeks seem to have gotten warmer to her.

Naruto looked thoughtful for a moment before saying, "Well, if you don't glare all the time and let go of your bitchiness, I think you'd receive a lot more. Also I bet a lot of children would want to hang out with you! Hell, there'd probably even be a fan club! If I was as young as yo--- I mean, uh…" Crap Crap! He quickly dropped that chain and said, "So, rock paper scissors?"

"No! What were you about to say!" She asked, beginning to narrow her eyes at him. "You said 'if I was as young as you'! You're what, a month or two older than me? What were you going to say?" Her voice calmed down at the end.

"Sorry!" Naruto said bowing slightly. "Sometimes I think I have some huge evil demon sealed inside of me that is MUCH older than me and you, and I tend to speak for him a lot!" Naruto said, he then felt something within him, was that anger? No matter.

Hanabi looked at Naruto closely. I know he's lying to me… unless if he's an idiot… He's proven to be one more than once, but he also has a smarter side to him as well… "Whatever…" She sighed. "So, teach me this game."

Naruto nodded, "Alright, remember this. Paper beats rock, Rock beats scissors, and scissors beat Paper."

"Why does Paper beat rock? Wouldn't all the sharp edges of it cut through the paper? I understand the other two, but I don't get that one…" Hanabi asked, with some confusion in her voice.

Naruto shrugged and said, "Do not question the logic of this game. Anyways, you pick what you want to use. Each of the three items have a shape you can make with your hands, for rock just make a fist, paper just spread your fingers apart, and for scissors simply have your middle and index finger out. Now, we count down to three, and then show what we have picked. Any questions?" Naruto asked.

"Sounds simple enough." Hanabi muttered. "At least this game requires luck and not skill…"

Sadly, even though this game was based mostly on luck, Hanabi had lost every game they had played. "So Hanabi, what happened to your Hyuuga pride?" Naruto asked happily.

"SCREW HYUUGA PRIDE!" She screamed. All the frustration she had had with this boy had finally exited her mouth with those three simple words, and worst of all… they were loud… worse than that, anyone within the whole Hyuuga Manor could hear it.

Her door opened up to reveal Hiashi with a disappointed look on his face. "Geez, she said that two seconds ago, and you're already here!" Naruto shouted, sort of decreasing the tension within the room.

Hiashi had his long hair all neatly placed on behind him. He wore a long elegant robe (Naruto thought it looked pretty girly on him), that made him look, well… noble I guess.

"Hanabi, what was it that you just said." He asked, completely ignoring Naruto bringing back the uneasy atmosphere. When she didn't answer he asked, "Well?"

Internally Hanabi was arguing with herself. One half of her wanted to blame all of it on Naruto and get out of this unharmed, but the other half was telling her not to blame Naruto and simply take any punishment. What should I do? She wondered to herself. During all of this her face remained passive outside for everyone else to see.

"Hiashi-sama, I'm sorry, it was my fault!" Naruto said as he turned towards the man and bowed down politely. Heh, guess all that stupid training Tsunade put me through is finally being put to good use! "I uh, forced her to say it by threatening to grab her dresser and throw all of its contents out in various places in Konoha for everyone to see!"

Hiashi looked unconvinced and he asked, "Why exactly would you force her to say that?"

Naruto looked concerned and said, "Because all you Hyuuga are bastards! Well… most of you! Putting all that stuff about how great your clan is in her head making her repeat it to me! You know how long it took me to finally make her stop saying that…. Oh wait, I never did! You know why! It's because of your STUPID clan! When I become Hokage I'm going to change some of your traditions within this place!" Naruto said all in one big breath.

When Naruto said all that, Hiashi couldn't help but laugh. Both of the children looked at him with a very confused expression on their face. Hanabi looked in shock as her stupid teammate managed to make someone as cold as Hiashi laugh. She then turned towards him and mouthed, "You're an idiot!"

"Hey!" He mouthed back, "I don't leave MY comrades behind!" After that he grinned at her and looked back towards Hiashi who stood there controlling his laughter. Hanabi again felt a blush coming in, and she covered it up and muttered random things under her breath.

"So… Hiashi-sama, could you please tell me what was so funny?" Naruto asked, pretty concerned for the leader of this clan… He expected the guy to explode and try killing him… not to laugh…

Hiashi finally calmed down enough to say, "That is exactly what I would expect my old teammate to say if he were still here today." He said. "Ok Hanabi, I'll let this slide this once. Also, both of you should know dinner shall be ready within a half hour." He closed the door.

Hanabi panicked, "Half an hour? I have to get ready!" She quickly pushed Naruto out and shouted through the door, "Go do something I got to get ready!" She then slammed the door in Naruto's face.

Naruto stood up and muttered, "Ah, I don't mind being thrown out and having the door slammed in my face! Nope! Not at all!"

"Excuse me, may I help you?" A softer voice said behind Naruto. He turned to see…

"Hinata! How are you doing?" He said with a smile.

Hinata was wearing a white robe, much like her father's except that it was… well, basically the same. Her hair had grown and was now down to her shoulders, and her confidence had mostly improved to the point of no stuttering.

She looked confused for a moment before Naruto realized what he had done she asked, "How do you know my name?"

Naruto suddenly realized his mistake. "Uh, Hanabi told me! I'm her teammate! Nice to meet you!" He said in a rapid succession, which went from waving to shaking her hand within an instant. "So, where do you eat in this… huge… place?"

Hinata smiled and said, "Here, I- I'll lead you there."

Naruto smiled as Hinata lead him to the dining room. Nothing else bad could come from this night right? Yes, that's right… nothing bad… no more older men laughing like children, no more Hanabi not knowing how to play the simplest games no more thief trying to take something of value from that room… WAIT!

Naruto quickly whipped his head around to find someone sneaking out of a room holding something, though he had no clue what it was he didn't care. He ran at the guy and created his favorite seal, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Suddenly three Naruto pounced on the guy, who was not expecting this.

The guy went down easily enough, and soon Naruto dismissed his clones and asked, "Why are you so weak! You should have thought more before you came here!"

The guy then said politely, "Look, I'm just a guard for this place. I was just going out on duty." He held up the helmet that all guards were supposed to wear within here. "Now can you PLEASE let go of me?"

"Why were you so weak? You're a Hyuuga that's far more powerful than me!" Naruto exclaimed.

The guy sighed and said, "I cannot hurt guest." Naruto accepted this and got off the guy. He then quickly went over to Hinata and said, "Hey, can we go now… please?"

Hinata looked at the child. That technique he preformed was always Naruto's favorite move. She sighed and decided to think of it later.

(Hyuuga dining room… thirty minutes later.)

After a long wait, the whole main family finally sat down on the table. Hiashi was the head of the table, with Hinata on his left and Hanabi on the right. Naruto sat next to Hanabi.

Hanabi wore the same exact robe as her father and sister, and her hair was tied up to make it look fancy, that's what Naruto guessed anyway…

Then, the moment Naruto had been waiting for arrived. The food had finally come! Several people came in carrying all the food. They set it all down, and in the process Naruto was drooling. So… much… food… He thought happily. Once all the people serving the food left Naruto asked, "So, can I dig in now?"

Hiashi nodded and everyone began to help themselves. No one forgot their manners however. Once they picked their food they ate in silence. It was all good for a while, but then something began to bug Naruto…

Do they ever talk? He shrugged waving the thought off.

After a little bit Naruto looked up at all the people eating. He began to listen… Hehe, if you listened hard enough you could hear them chewing. That's pretty cool… That was his first thought, but after a minute he thought, Ok, that's pretty gross…

Silence still reigned over them all however… That was until a Nawaki Naruto broke it.

"DO YOU GUYS EVER TALK?" He shouted.

Hinata began choking on the food she had in her mouth, startled by the huge noise that erupted from the little kid. Hanabi was in a similar situation, except that she was scared shitless by the voice, and couldn't breathe for a little bit. Hiashi looked at both of his daughters and then chuckled slightly.

"You don't like silence to rule over your families dinner?" He asked kindly.

Naruto looked away and muttered, "I live alone, but I usually do something while eating!"

The last part of his statement was ignored by everyone as Hinata asked, "You live alone? What happened to your mother and father?"

"Well…" Naruto sighed. What kind of shit should I make up? "My mother died when she went to get supplied for my family. She was going shopping when some Shinobi attacked her. She took down almost all of them before the ANBU could arrive, but alas, they took her down before the help could arrive. My father hasn't heard of this yet because he left on an extended trading trip to the Wind Country. He's currently selling blankets, because it can get pretty cold at night in the desert."

All of them looked at him like he had grown another head. Hanabi was the first to react saying, "You're a dumb ass, forget my previous comment about you being an idiot… dumb ass fits you MUCH better."

Hinata glared at her sister sharply before looking back at the child and said, "So, what did your parents name you?"

Naruto's first reaction to this was confusion, but then he realized he hadn't introduced himself to Hiashi or Hinata yet, so he said, "I am Nawaki Naruto! I am Hanabi's teammate and we're going to kick ass! We'll both be awesome and I'll be the best ANBU for the sixth Hokage!"

Hiashi raised an eyebrow and said, "I thought you said you were going to be Hokage."

Naruto looked at him thinking one thing, Shit… "Well, I decided within the time span of a half hour that I want to work for the Hokage instead."

Hinata quickly got out of the shock of the similarity of this child's name and her love's name and said, "Well, since your parents are… gone, why don't you stay with us for a while?"

"No thanks," Naruto said, "I enjoy living by myself, there are no rules to follow or anything."

Hiashi nodded, deciding to change the subject he asked, "So, how did you and Hanabi pass the Genin test?"

Naruto's eyes lit up and as said, "Oh! Hanabi and I kicked ass. First of all our sensei is Gai. He seems really dumb, but he is amazing in Taijutsu. Anyways, the test was to basically show our skill of working together. In the end we both figured it out and kicked our sensei's ass!"

Though Hiashi doubted that they kicked their sensei's ass, he asked, "So, how'd you get Hanabi to work with you?" There was no threat in his voice, but his youngest daughter had a somewhat betrayed look in her eyes.

"Oh, well, after we fail to figure it out at first I told her what we were supposed to do and she agreed." Naruto said. "Right Hanabi?" Naruto asked, nudging her in the shoulder.

She broke out of her stupor and said, "Huh Oh yes. We worked quite well together…"

Hinata smiled and said, "That's good that you made a friend Hanabi, I was getting worried that you wouldn't befriend your team."

Hanabi glared at her sister and said, "Hinata, I don't consider this idiot my friend, simply an annoyance. He can be helpful for me to reach my goals, but that is all."

Hinata smiled and simply nodded to the whole thing, "As you say Hanabi."

Hiashi then stated, "Best of luck to you two…" After a little bit he asked, "So who is your third teammate? It seems he didn't want to show up tonight."

Naruto and Hanabi both spoke up at the same time saying, "We don't have a third teammate."

"Oh really?" Hiashi asked. "And why is that?"

"Because not enough of the students were good enough to pass the easy test." Naruto muttered.

Hanabi nodded agreeing with his statement.

Suddenly Naruto stood up and said, "Well, thanks for the meal, but I think I should be leaving now!" He quickly made a beeline straight out of the place. Shortly after him, Hanabi got up and followed him.

"He's such a good kid." Hiashi said with a smile on his face. Hinata looked at her father like he grew another head.

No one has ever made Father smile like that before mother… Hinata thought in shock.

(Outside the Hyuuga Manor.)

Naruto finally exited the place after a long day. He sighed and began to walk off in the direction of his house before a voice caused him to turn back around.

"Hey Naruto!" Hanabi called out from the entrance of the manor.

"What is it Hanabi?" Naruto asked as he walked over to the girl.

Hanabi looked slightly nervous, and after a little bit of no interaction, Naruto was about to ay something, but she held her hand up. "Do… You, uh, want to be my friend." She said.

Naruto then realized that she wanted him to shake her hand, accepting her friendship. "Ah, but I thought you were too high above me." Naruto asked smiling. Hanabi was about to say something, but stopped once Naruto shook her hand and said, "Ok, Hanabi-chan, I'll see you tomorrow."

Hanabi simply nodded and said, "Yeah, see you too Naruto." She then walked back into her home.

Little did both of them know, Hiashi was watching them…

Please Uzumaki Naruto, raise my daughter better than I have… Was his request as he went back into his manor, ready for a new week…

Chapter two, end.

Ok, that's all. I have a vague idea of how to shape this story up. I really just write this whenever I feel like it, so don't expect this to come out every other day, or week, or month… or year…

See you in Chapter three, if there is one…
