Naruto let out another sigh. 'Today has been a long day.' He thought as his current class started to finish up. It had started out well enough. Tsuki made him his first ever home cooked meal. Then someone in his class had talked to him without insulting or making fun of him. But then it went downhill. Tsuki showed up joining his class and they pulled a prank on everyone by calling him her brother, granted they managed to clear it up but now everyone knew he had a girl living in his apartment.
Iruka final set down the book he was reading from and looked up at the class. "OK class now if you will follow me we will head out to the training yard for some sparing" he said. Naruto perked up at that and smiled. 'Finally something Ninja actually do' he thought as made his way to his out to the training yard.
Tsuki watched Naruto and shook her head. 'Maybe I shouldn't have played that prank on him." She thought as she gathered her own stuff up. "I should probably apologize; maybe make dinner to help cement that." She said as she moved to leave the room. Just before she made it into the hallway she heard a voice call out to her. "Hey Tsuki wait up." Tsuki turned around and saw two of the girls from class: a girl with pink hair and a girl with blonde hair approach her.
"Do you mind if we walk with you to the training ground?" the pink haired girl asked. Tsuki tilted her head for a moment before shrugging. "Sure we can walk together." She said and continued walking down the hallway the girls following her. After a moment she looked back at the girls. "So what are your names?" She asked the two as they traveled down the hallway. "I'm Ino Yamanaka and this is Sakura Haruno" the blonde haired one said gesturing to herself and then to the other girl. Tsuki nodded. "Well it's nice to meet both of you." She said politely.
Sakura nodded before speaking up. "So we were wondering what are you doing living with Naruto? I mean it must be kind of rough living alone with a boy." She said as they neared the door out of the school. Tsuki shook her head. "Not really, at least not yet, but we will so thought I think he and I will get along just fine." She said with a smile before coming to a stop due to arriving at their destination.
Iruka watched as he class gathered around and waited for everyone to get their before speaking up. "OK this will be just like last time, Taijutsu only. If you are knocked out of the ring or pinned down you loss and I reserve the right to call a match if I think one person has won or if things start to go too far." He said looking at all of his students sternly. The students all nodded and the spars started and Tsuki quickly noticed a difference in strength between the girls and the boys. "Wow what is with these girls the only one to have beaten anyone is that blue haired girl.' She thought glancing over at Hinata who had just finished her match again one of the boys.
Iruka turned towards some of the few remaining students. "OK next up is Naruto vs Sasuke. Naruto looked over at Sasuke and glared at him before walking into the ring. Sasuke walked calmly into the ring and looked at Naruto before getting into position. Naruto w glared at Sasuke as he got ready as well. "You're going down Sasuke!" he called out. Sasuke smirked. "In your dreams loser." He said waited for Iruka to give the signal.
Iruka looked at the two boys and nodded. "Let the match begin." He called out. Naruto ran towards Sasuke his arm moved back getting ready to punch him. Sasuke smirked at this and easily dodged the attack before countering with a kick to the back, sending Naruto off balance. He then pressed his advantage punching Naruto in the ribs and stomach. Naruto grunted and tried to counter and a punch to Sasuke's stomach but it was blocked and Sasuke counter with a knee kick to Naruto's stomach before knocking him to the ground.
Iruka raised his hand calling the match in Sasuke's favor. Tsuki sighed and shook her head. 'Naruto's attacks were too obvious and he has no real style compared to Sasuke and the others.' She thought as she watched Iruka try to get the two to make some sort of weird handshake.
Iruka sighed after failing to get the two of them to shake hands and then looked over at the remaining two students. "Ok next up Kiba and Tsuki." He said. Kiba smiled. "Well I guess this will be an easy win." He said loudly and walked into the ring. Tsuki smirked. 'Oh so he thinks he can be me easily does he well then let's show this puppy what happens when you take on a Wolf.' She thought as she walked into the ring and turned to face him.
Iruka looked a little worried as the two entered the ring but when he glanced at Tsuki he saw something odd. 'Her eyes, those aren't the eyes of a little girl taking on an older opponent. They look like the eyes of jonin about to fight a genin. She sees him as boring?' he thought continued but got into position as the two of them got in their fighting stances. "Ready? Begin!" he called out. Kiba wasted no time and chaged in with his clans fighting style trying to take a easy win. 'Heh she can't beat me I am one of the best fighters in the class.' He thought smugly
Tsuki watched him as he slashed at her with his sharped nails and easily side stepped him. Kiba's eyes widen in surprise and head just his stance to turn and slashes at her again, only for her dodge him again. 'How is she dodging me so easily?' he thought. Before he could try and figure it out his thoughts were interrupted. "Is that all you've got?" Tsuki asked with a bored expression on her face. "I thought you would be better at this but it seems like your just a little weak puppy." She said, her tone of voice showed no emotion other than boredom.
Kiba growled at her taunt. "I will show you which one of us is a weak puppy!" he yelled and charged at her attacking her again. Tsuki dodged for a third time but did a foot sweep as she did so, tripping Kiba and making fall into the ground face first. Tsuki backs up a bit and waited for him to get up. "If you're done fooling around can we start sparing?" she said tauntingly. Kiba growled louder and got up. "That's it no more mister nice guy!" he yelled and charged at her. "Tsuki smirked at this and narrowed her eyes. As he closed in she ducked down under his attack and punched him in the stomach with enough force to push him halfway to the other side in the ring. Tsuki stopped and looked at the downed Kiba. 'That was a bit too much force. I guess I need to work on control my strength more when we spar.' She thought as Kiba slowly got back up to his feet.
Iruka looked at Kiba and then turned to Tsuki before he raised his hand. "Match over Tsuki is the winner." He said calmly bit inside he was very surprised. 'She was not only able to dodge Kiba the whole time but one of her punch threw him across the ring. I can see why she was put in my class, she is not ordinary girl.' He thought before turning to Kiba who had started to complain about his verdict. "Kiba with one attack she knocked the breath out of you and you did not managed to hit her once. Not only that but she managed to taunt you to the point of throwing caution to the wind which would have gotten you killed on a real mission." Iruka started which managed to put an end to Kiba's complaint.
Tsuki walks out of the ring and back over to the rest of the students. She looks at their faces and notices they are staring at her curiously. 'Well that's not unexpected I took down a clan heir easily and made him look like a fool.' She thought before smiling slightly. After Tsuki and Kiba rejoined the others Iruka turned to address the class. "You all did very good today. But there are things all of you could work on. Through next week we will work on fixing those problems and strengthening the other aspects of your fighting styles. But that is all for today, go back to the class room and gather your stuff before your parents get here." He said, dismissing the class.
The students made their way back inside. As they walked the students discussed the matches that just happened. From what she could over hear a few of the girls were talking about Sasuke's match and how well he did as well as her match. What really caught her attention was what the boys were saying about Naruto. "What is that idiot thinking? He'll never beat Sasuke." One of the boys said. Another one nodded. "Ya I mean he is like a genius or something, not to mention he is from the Uchiha clan."
Tsuki listened to their conversation and frowned. 'They think Naruto can't beat Sasuke? All because he is smarter and has more skills? Its true Naruto isn't good now but he can get better.' She thought as she made her way into the classroom to get her stuff. 'Looks like I might need to help my Kurama Nii-Sama's host out, though I might want my own chance at the Uchiha.' She thought with a smirk on her face as she picked up her stuff and ran off to find Naruto.
Tsuki found him sitting under a swing, watching at the families arrived to pick up their kids. Tsuki watched this and sighed. "Why does he stay and watch them? Does he hope his family will show up one day? Or is it something else?" she muttered before making her way over to him.
Naruto sighed as he watches his classmates get picked up by their families. 'One day…one day I will be happy like them.' He thought. Just then he feels a hand on his shoulder and looks over to see Tsuki standing next to him. 'How did she get there without me noticing?' he thought. "You really need to work on your fighting style." She said glancing away to watch the families as well. "Naruto scowls a bit. "What do you want to make fun of me as well?" he asked angrily. Tsuki calmly shook her head. "No just stating fact and offering to help." She said turning to look at him. Naruto sits up straight and blinked. "H-help? You mean you'll help me train?" he asked both confused and hopeful. Tsuki smiled and nodded. "Ya, after all your greed to let me stay at your place I might as well help you out as much as I can." She said and held out her hand to shake his. Naruto looked at it for a moment before nodding and shook her hand. "Ok I accept your offer Tsuki." She said with his usual foxy smile.
Tsuki smiled as well. "Well lets head home we can start tomorrow after school." She said. Naruto nodded and got up off of the swing. "Sounds good to me, but why not tonight?" he asked. Tsuki smirked. "Because I have some shopping to do tonight plus I need to think of a training plan and that can take a little bit." She stated. Naruto nodded in understanding and the two of them started making their way home.
Hokage Tower
Unbeknownst to the two of them, the Hokage had watched their entire conversation. "They seem to be getting along which is good. Though I did not expect her to offer to help train him, this could prove quite interesting. He said with a small smile on his face. 'I knew putting the two of them together would help, but I didn't expect her to get attached to him this quickly. I wonder if it is because her brother is sealed in Naruto.' He sighed and took another breath from his pipe. "For now I can only sit back and watch what will become of this friendship.
First fight scene. Not sure how good it is, plus it was just a sparing match. Hope you guys and gals enjoy it. I would have made this chapter longer but it seemed to have a good ending point and I did not want to ruin that. Also I am working on making these chapters longer so updates might take a bit longer as I do that but it should remain at one update a week unless something comes up or I don't get as much work done as I wanted.
