Rivaled Experience Chapter 2: Renewed Memories, a naruto fanfic

Sephireth: I must find Hinata-chan!

Runs around in a circle. "Damnit, she isn't here." I stop running in circles and stare at Naruto, who is staring at me with a scared expression.

"Hey! You little , you told me Hinata was here!" I yell. Naruto pointed to my left and I looked, seeing Hinata standing right there.

"Ah!" I yelled before I fainted. "...freak..." Naruto whispered as Hinata looked worriedly at my unconsiousness.

Sephireth-Hopper: Okay, I'm fine now, and I don't own Naruto, but I can buy plushies on eBay! DOESN'T THAT COUNT? sobs

Naruto: Since the author is now crying his eyes out like a little bitch, hugging onto a mini-Hinata, here's the next Chapter.

Chapter 2: Renewed Memories

Recap:

"Alright, brat, who are you and why are you here?" the loud mouthed special jonin asked and everyone looked at her.

Dante smirked again, and looked down at the floor. "I am Dante Nasikama, and I'm the only one who gives a damn about preventing this war."

The room of the Hokage had gone silent, all eyes on the new arrivals. "Gomen nasai, for interrupting." Dante said once more, and turned his back on the Godaime, to leave. Before he opened the door, however, Tsunade spoke up. "We will continue this meeting later, have a seat, Dante-san." the Godaime spoke as the kunoichi who had attended the meeting left one by one.

When they were all gone, Dante and Zen strode to the center of the room, Zen sitting down. Dante moved over to the window and touched the sill with two fingers.

"Nasikama-san, how do you like Konohagakure so far?" asked the fifth, meshing her hands together. "Hm, it's nice so far, good residents, and," began Dante, as he turned towards Tsunade, leaning against the window sill. "It's lucky to have a Sannin for Hokage." he finished, folding his arms.

Tsunade smiled kindly and Dante turned back to the window. "I can read people, like a book, Tsunade-sama." Dante suddenly said, looking out across the vast village.

"What do you mean?" asked the Godaime, eyebrows scrunched in confusion. "I know about people's past, reading their facial features. You seem a little sad, but, I'm not surprised." Dante spoke once more, turning towards the Legendary Sannin.

"In your past, you found happiness, whether a love or your family. Now, however, you have lost it, and wish desperately to go back and relive it all. Because you focus too much on what has already happened, you have a problem with the future and don't really wish to go there. You have mourned this loss for quite some time now, and are too used to it to let the familarity go. This situation is making you frustrated, because you can't do anything about it, but you remain unwilling to release your memories."

"Tsunade-sama, you want to close your eyes and let your memories embrace you, do you think that is healthy for you to continue doing?" asked Dante, concluding his speech.

The Godaime was near tears by now, and Shizune was shocked by Dante's revelation, and Zen just stared at Dante, with knowing eyes. "I am sorry." the Elekt member said and bowed deeply to the Godaime. "I will take my leave now." Dante announced and Zen stood to follow the young man out of the door.

As soon as the door shut, Tsunade let a tear fall onto a a peice of paper, and Shizune handed her a tissue.

As they came down the stairs, Zen couldn't help but let out a small laugh. "What's so funny?" asked Dante, as he glared at the older nin from the corner of his eyes. "Nothing, nothing..." said Zen but the small laugh increased into loud laughter, drawing several villagers unwanted stares. "Shut it." commanded Dante and there was a cold chill, making Zen's laughter subside.

"It's not funny, at all, what happened to her." Dante snarled at Zen as he turned to face the other Oar nin, who was now backing away a bit. "Anyway, I'm supposed to be making a decision, to whether this village prospers or dies at my hands." Dante said, and took one last look at the Hokage tower, then climbed into the carriage.

Zen sighed. 'What a brat.' he simply thought as he too climbed into the carriage.

Naruto was currently training as snow fell from the heavens, making tree branches as fragile as silk. As Naruto just punched through, tree after tree, he finally stopped, his breath making clouds of vapor.

"What's the point? I'm not getting any stronger by hitting tree's that have been frozen!" Naruto exclaimed and exhaled deeply. "Naruto-kun!" came a enthusiastic voice and Naruto turned around, barely avoiding Lee, who whizzed past him, punching several things in his way.

"Naruto-kun, where is your springtime of youth!" yelled Lee as Naruto watched him bulldoze a tree. "Uh, it's winter, Lee." Naruto stated as he sweatdropped.

"Not in your heart! Yosh!" Lee yelled and landed beside Naruto. "The snowflakes are as beautiful as Sakura-chan, that's what I should concentrate on, capturing the snowflakes!" Lee exclaimed and tried to grab several of them, all the while Naruto watching with an even bigger sweat drop.

"Oh no! The snowflakes keep melting before I can hold onto them! Yosh, I will succeed!" yelled Lee as he shot into the air, grasping for the falling snow.

"You do that..." Naruto said as he slowly backed away, heading for the infamous Ichiraku ramen stand. As he plopped down on a stool, almost laughing at Ayame's winter wear. Teuchi's daughter was wearing a heavy-looking apron, and winter clothes, and a small little hat, that read 'Ichiraku Ramen'.

"You laugh, and I'll poison you're ramen." Ayame said as she smiled evily at Naruto who was waving his hands in front his face, panicing. "I wont laugh, I promise!" Naruto said and quickly ordered.

"Two spicy shrimp ramen and three beef, please Ayame-neechan." Naruto requested and she got to work. As Ayame prepared his order, Naruto looked around the outside of the ramen stand. "Feeling jumpy?" came a voice and Naruto spun around, seeing Ino's pale blue eyes. "Kami, Ino! You scared me!" Naruto exclaimed as he cluthced his heart in mock-terror.

Ino giggled and sat beside Naruto, ordering a spicy ramen. Naruto's five bowls of ramen clanked on the table and he ate the spicy shrimp first. As he slurped down the soup of his second bowl, he looked back at Ino.

"So, how's your life?" asked Naruto, a goofy smile on his face. "It's alright, less missions thanks to the winter solstice." Ino replied. "Oh! Did you see that carriage come through the gates? Must have been important business." Ino said the last part mainly to herself.

She sifted through her ramen, eating the rest of the noodles and stood up, pulling out some money. "See you later, Naruto!" Ino said as she laid the money down, walking away. Naruto waved after her and finished his last bowl, taking out his Gama-chan. Sifting through the ryhou, he found the right amount and placed it down on the bar.

"Ja ne, Ayame-neechan." Naruto said and walked out of the stand, observing his surroundings. It was really snowing now, looking like it might rain. Naruto jumped over roofs to get to his apartment, and lit a fire. As he fed the fire wood, Naruto lay in his bed and fell asleep.

The next day, Naruto woke up feeling warm, even though it was raining outside. The great fire was now some dying embers, making warmth flow throughout the apartment. He stretched, standing up and yawning much like a young fox. As he scratched his cheek, he noticed a note on his coffee table.

'Naruto Uzumaki,

You've been summoned to the Hokage's office.'

Naruto frowned a little and slipped the little note into his pocket of his black and orange pants, sliding on a much bigger black jacket.

"What's the obaa-chan want now?" Naruto asked himself as he opened the door of his home.

Dante stepped out of the bathroom, fully dressed, steam rising from his hair as he brushed it with a towel, Zen sitting down at the table. "We got a summon from Tsunade-sama." Zen announced and Dante threw the towel back into the bathroom.

"Did you make that weapon I wanted?" Dante asked as he looked at Zen expectandly. Zen rolled his eyes, and pulled out a peice of iron oar from his pocket.

"Renkinjutsu!" the iron oar glowed before transmuting into a gun-like weapon. It was larger than a normal gun, mostly because it loaded kunai and not bullets.

It was silver, with a glow of crimson as Dante took it from Zen's hand, admiring it before loading a few kunai into it. "I also made a weapon for myself." Zen said and whipped out a large hammer, the little light hitting it, making it shine.

"A shame when we have to cancel the war, we won't get to test these out much." Dante said and pouted and he admired his gun. Holstering it, he picked up a blood red jacket and put it on.

"Let's go see what Godaime-sama has in store for us." Dante said, smirking as they ventured into the snow.

Sephireth-Hopper: Has stopped crying Hi peoples. Sorry for the short chappys, but oh fucking well, lol.

Anyway, I'll update soon. I just wish I had some idea what to write next...
