LAST TIME ON CHANGE OF MINDS
Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke faced off against their most powerful opponent yet (AKA their only opponent as a team) Kakashi Hatake in a battle against time, and to receive the bells, our hero's put up an amazing battle and didn't give up easily using teamwork and coordinated attacks to surprise Kakashi!
Kakashi was impressed by this display of teamwork, but sadly time ran out meaning our heroes would suffer the fate of going back to the academy, but what's this "you pass", what is going on? find out right now!
(I might have been watching a bit too much dragon ball... eh sounded cool in the narrator's voice, I'm just gonna go with the flow on some things if it sounds cool, if it's bad then I know not to do it again)
BACK TO WHERE WE LEFT OF
TRAINING GROUNDS 7, MID-DAY
"You pass"
Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke looked at Kakashi as if they were in a dream-like state. Even the energetic blonde was quiet (something Kakashi was proud of a deserved a meddle for)
"I suppose you want a reason for me stating you passed since you don't have the bell's, and the time has ran out?" Kakashi could tell by the confused look on their face that the answer was yes.
"This was a teamwork exercise, you all worked very well as a team from the very beginning I was going to pass you, but why didn't I? you may ask" Kakashi put his hand on his chin and closed his eye looking deep in thought.
"It's pretty simple, I had to gauge your power, your pros and con's and your variety of Jutsu and your proficiency in said Jutsu. And this situation was good for seeing how you would react to a high stakes match" Kakashi looked at them with hope and happiness in his expression.
"And I feel comfortable to say I have a good basic training regiment for you all, Team 7 will start doing D ranks after you get your Ninja license, so for now we will just get some lunch" Kakashi walked over to the three logs and waited for the rest of his squad.
Sasuke's reaction to being a real genin was mainly just a smirk, but he was glad he had a team like this, they wouldn't drag him down or get in his way, in fact, their teamwork skills were top-notch for beginners, still, there is room to be desired.
Hinata was relieved at the thought of not failing her team, now she was able to do missions with Naruto and Sasuke, the thought of being next to the boy she loved for most of the day even if it was only missions gave her all the happiness she needed, but she still needed to train hard, now more than ever, now she was a Genin, not some academy student, Naruto and Sasuke would probably get the harder missions due to their reputation, she needed to be able to help and be a reliable teammate.
Naruto was on the verge of jumping for joy, he was a Genin, one more step to chunin, and one more step to becoming the greatest Hokage of them all, he wanted to make his clan and family proud, thinking of his family he wondered what they would say to him? no, he can't be thinking about that now, now he has a team and their gonna do missions... after they get their ID card... and some Ichiraku ramen.
ICHIRAKU RAMEN
Naruto bolted in and took his seat and ordered, "I would like 3 bowls of miso ramen extra pork, 2 beef ramen, and what day is it..." Naruto remembered back to his calendar, Thursday "AND 4 OF TODAY'S SPECIALS" Ayame and Teuchi nodded, Ayame writing the order down, they then looked at the other customers and recognized the hidden leaf headband.
"Naruto you shouldn't rush off like that for ramen, wait for the rest of your teammates we almost lost you in the crowd." Kakashi scolded naruto.
"I-its fine Kakashi sensei, r-really we could still catch up to him, plus hes been hungry" Hinata tried to cover for the blond.
"with how loud your stomach growl's I can't believe you pull off half the pranks you do or is it just luck you don't get caught 5 seconds in" Sasuke commented, his stomach can be heard miles away, sounds like an animal up close.
"shut up Sasuke you idiot!"
"knucklehead!"
"C-calm down guys"
Hinata sat between Sasuke and Naruto settling their dispute.
Kakashi sighed, 'well this is their first day as a team, at least they work well together' Kakashi took the seat next to Sasuke.
Sasuke, Hinata, and Kakashi gave the owners their orders.
"Hey, Kakashi sensei why do you and Naruto read the same book, this makeout paradise" Sasuke commented, holding out Naruto's copy of the book.
Ayame walked out with fire in her eyes, Teuchi remembered the time she found out he was a fan of the series, 'oh dear Naruto, what have you done, I've only seen her put out this much blood-lust when she was a full-time Chunin' Teuchi prayed for the boy.
Ayame cared about Naruto like her little brother, and Naruto would say Teuchi was like a grandfather to him, not on the same status as the old man Hokage but really high, and Ayame was like a sister, and you don't want to make her mad.
Kakashi and Naruto got a chilling sensation, Sasuke thought he was about to die on the spot, but it didn't really affect Hinata in any way shape, or form.
Ayame HATED the make-out series, EVERY female hated the make-out series, so Naruto reading it was new to her, but that's to say even though he was close to her, she would have to punish him.
"Naruto~," she said in a sweet but deadly tone" ~if you want ramen then you have to promise me you will never read that ever again~ "Naruto had never felt so much blood-lust before... or did he?
?
*gargle* *gargle*
"NARUTO!"
"RAAAAHH"
Naruto came face-to-face with a cage... but he was a kid again?
ICHIRAKU RAMEN
Naruto dazed out for a split second, nobody seemed to notice.
"u-uh yeah sure... but why shouldn't I read thi-" He himself knew that answer and wasn't falling for that pitfall "I mean, I like the intimacy and the romance it's something I never knew about and when I read it, it showed me something I didn't know I could experience, something that I could only assume to be love?" Naruto looked up to Ayame with his bright blue puppy dog eyes, Ayame fell victim to this ALL the time, and this time was no different.
Ayame grabbed Naruto into a hug "aww, you poor thing that's not what love is about, love is something else something more precious, That book is different," Naruto looked up at Ayame in a confused manner, Hinata was getting jealous of Naruto being so close to another woman, she was leaning so close but didn't want to say anything.
"Well can you show me what 'love' is?" Naruto looked up at Ayame still hugging him, she blushed for a split second, Teuchi let out a giggle at Naruto's naivety, Kakashi was about to burst into laughter, even Sasuke found their position amusing, Ayame's red face made it all the better.
Hinata on the other hand would be furious but instead said "I-I'LL S-SHOW Y-YOU WHAT L-L-LOVE MEANS N-NARUTO!" Hinata blurted it out and then started to faint.
"uhh, sure!" Naruto was even MORE naive than everyone thought, Hinata fainted, Kakashi and Teuchi were on the ground laughing, Sasuke was trying to hold himself from bursting out in public, "oh soo Naruto is Hinata over here your girlfriend now? were you gonna try and swoon me over and have Hinata as your girlfriend," "trying to get a harem there boy?" Teuchi added on, while Ayame looked at Naruto with some sas.
Naruto's blush at remembering the harem in the book and Hinata and Ayame in it made his face flush up, "N-NO W-WHAT!".
Ayame started to laugh, Teuchi was struggling to breathe but was still cooking the ramen ( I tip my fedora to the legend), Kakashi had to take off one of his mask's in order to breathe, Sasuke was bursting out on the ground with laughter.
A team of female genin was walking by (no real names just a bunch of comic relief, 1 Naruto fangirl, 1 Sasuke fangirl, one who was a fan of the 'kiss', we'll call them 'the fangirl squad'... if you can think of a good name put it in the comments).
"hey look over there that's Naruto and Sasuke" one of the fangirls whispers in a squeal, "oh and there's Hinata" the other one whispers with a tone of venom, (they're the ones who got demolished by Hinata in chapter 7) "Naruto looks so cute with that bright red face~" one of the girls squealed "Sasuke's laughing and looks like he's having a good time I'm happy for him~" "HEY! get back over here we're going to the Akamichi barbeque restaurant c'mon, you three barley passed on your own, you need to get off that diet your ninja's, veggies are important, but you need fat on you as well, you'll burn that off in training" their Jonin sensei was calling, and the girls went on their way.
Teuchi came back to team 7 with some ramen, they all ate their lunch throwing prank stories and jokes around, overall a pretty lively afternoon.
"Well, guys I'm gonna get headed off to the Hokages office, got to get my picture taken" Naruto waved goodbyes to his squad and made his way to the Hokage's mansion.
HOKAGES OFFICE
Naruto was sitting in his seat as Hiruzen looked over his ID, Naruto just held two peace sings to the camera and smiled, Hiruzen cracked a smile at the young blond overjoyed face.
"I GOT YOU NOW OLD MAN!" a little kid burst through the door, and tripped over his long scarf, "HEY, YOU TRIPPED ME UP BLONDY!" Naruto looked at the kid holding a SHURIKEN "HEY, FIRST OFF I HAVE A NAME Y' KNOW AND SECOND YOU SHOULDNT BE CARRYING A SHURIKEN AROUND WAVING IT IN THE AIR, THIRD OFF YOU TRIPPED OVER YOUR OWN SCARF KID!" Naruto got up and yelled at the young kid.
"YEAH WELL IM THE HOKAGES GRANDSON, YOU WON'T DO ANYTHING TO ME!" the young toddler shouted. Naruto took the shuriken off the boy without him even noticing, "Hey this is in mint condition, I doubt the old man would let you wave around something so dangerous." Naruto examined the shuriken, the boy looked franticly around his pockets... it was gone.
"HEY GIVE THAT BACK, IM KONOHAMARU THE GRANDSON OF THE THIRD HOKAGE, AND THE FUTURE HOKAGE OF THE HIDDEN LEAF VILLAGE" the little boy called Konohamaru.
"oh, you want to become the Hokage too? heh, well Good luck, but why attack the current Hokage?" Naruto asked confused Konohamaru simply stated, "well if I kill the current Hokage then I can become the next Hokage!" Naruto got a flashback to when HE thought of that... boy he sure was glad he found that library.
"that's... not how it works... if you killed the current Hokage you would be sentenced to death" Konohamaru looked at Naruto with surprise "now that I think about it, that makes sense, YOUR REALLY SMART" Konohamaru looked at Naruto with stars in his eye's 'Its called common sense' Naruto shook his head in thought, smiled behind his hand.
"Honorable grandson, you need to get back to training now, you're not ready to become the Hokage" a man named Ebisu walked in and seen HIM he immediately froze up.
"N-Now now honorable grandson come on let's get back to your training, sorry for the intrusion lord Hokage" Ebisu bowed respectfully.
Hiruzen noticed when Ebisu looked at Naruto he froze up, 'it seems people are still scared of the poor young boy, people who used to avoid him now look at him with fear and run, poor Naruto you don't even remember what happened that night, thank god their only a few' Hiruzen wasn't able to keep the Jonin from figuring everything out, but Chunin and below new nothing.
Naruto waved his goodbye and left.
VILLAGE STREETS
Naruto looked at his ID photo, a smirk crossed his face. Finally a real Ninja.
Naruto was well aware of the box following him so he stopped and said "oh what a cool box I mean rock, let me test my aim" the box shook and a puff of smoke clouded the streets, "I AM THE FUTURE HOKAGE KONOHAMARU, AND I HAVE DECIDED YOU WILL BE MY RIVAL!" Konohamaru jumped forward towards Naruto.
"FIGHT ME!" "no"
"HUH! ARE YOU SCARED?" Konohamaru looked smug, to Naruto's simple answer "no, I have training to do and I have a reputation. But I could help you if-" Naruto was cut off by Konohamaru screaming "PLEASE, PLEASE TEACH ME A JUTSU, YOUR COOL YOU'LL DO IT RIGHT! PLEASE" Konohamaru went all up in Naruto's personal space.
"ok, ok fine c'mon this Jutsu doesn't need too much chakra and is a very great Jutsu, I would even use it on my Jonin sensei, if someone wasn't there" Naruto instantly thought back to Hinata, what would she do if he used THAT.
"OHH TEACH ME, TEACH ME" Konohamaru was jumping for joy.
"to the women's bathhouse!" "YEA- wait what?"
THE WOMANS BATHHOUSE
Naruto brought Konohamaru to a secluded spot near the bathhouse.
"ok now look closely," Naruto put his hands out to where Konohamaru could see.
Konohamaru copied Naruto's hand sing's with some difficulty.
"NOW (sexy Jutsu)" Naruto transformed into a nacked woman.
"remember to mold your chakra, imagine what you want to look like, go through the hand seals, and burst!" Naruto reminded Konohamaru of the steps
Konohamaru did exactly what Naruto said, again and again, and again
"it's not working, I give up, teach me another Jutsu?" Konohamaru was giving in to defeat.
Naruto laughed, "and you said you wanted to become Hokage? listen there is no easy road to becoming the Hokage, every one of us who truly has the dream of being the Hokage, would put our life on the line, the road to Hokage isn't easy I can tell you that me, now if you truly want to become the best Hokage and protect this village, your home and the home of other's stand up and keep going, don't lose your way stay focused 'to protect your friends and everyone important to you, never give up no matter what! ' that's my ninja way and that's the way a true Hokage should act" Naruto's smile and determined look lite a fire in Konohamaru.
"(SEXY JUTSU)" Konohamaru kept at it until he got it figured out.
Konohamaru jumped up onto Naruto who caught him, "you did amazing Konohamaru! keep it up and you'll be Hokage someday and a great one at that!"
Konohamaru was starting to cry and just let it all out "I did it, I did it!" Konohamaru then looked back at Naruto "WHAT NEXT BOSS, GIVE ME ANYTHING ANY TASK I'LL DO IT NO SWEAT!" Naruto looked in thought.
"how long until you start the academy?" Naruto questioned "ahh 1 week and 2 days, to be exact" Konohamaru replied.
"well, your gonna be WAY ahead of your peers when I'm done with ya! believe it!" Naruto gave a thumbs up.
THE LIBRARY
Naruto and Konohamaru stopped off at the library, "Here we are, this is how I became the strongest in the academy, well more like tied to the strongest, but I doubt you see another Uchiha prodigy in their" Konohamaru looked at Naruto.
"What do you mean tied to the strongest, I thought you were the strongest, and how is reading gonna count as Ninja training? is read what workouts I have to do to become a strong shinobi gonna magically transform me into that shinobi?" Konohamaru was dumbfounded at having to go to a library.
"well you see, everything I'm about to show you will make sense, what I mean by tied to the strongest there's a guy in my team called Sasuke, now I could beat Sasuke but he's an Uchiha so he'll end up with a Sharingan... witch I don't have but ill still keep the lead! now let's go inside and I'll show you what I mean!" Naruto and Konohamaru went inside the library, the librarian gave Naruto a nod, he gave her a smile.
Naruto walked up to the academy section and waved high to the Jonin, Anko and Guy were the only ones there, the others were at the Hokages office.
"Hey, Anko-sensei, Guy-sensei" Naruto gave a wave as he led Konohamaru towards the books.
"Hey there brat, I heard you passed Kakashi's test, good for you, I heard it was pretty hard" Anko laughed, eating some Dango, the library didn't usually allow food in but Anko had a special pass.
"It wasn't too bad" Naruto remembered, 'actually it was' Naruto looked back at the countless hours of quick thinking, reaction timing.
"WELL NARUTO IM GLAD, NOW HOW ABOUT WHEN YOU'VE HAD YOUR FIRST REAL C RANK MISSION, YOU CAN SPAR WITH MY STUDENTS?! A 3V3 THE POWER OF YOUTH!" Guy was super enthusiastic (than usual).
"ehh... sure, I'll think about it" Naruto rubbed the back of his head.
"Hey, boss? what do you want us to pick up?" Konohamaru tugged Naruto's jacket.
"OK, well let's see..." Naruto spent some time picking out the first books and handed them to Konohamaru.
"We start right away!" Naruto led Konohamaru to the training grounds they established
TRAINING GROUNDS 7
The fangirl squad was walking back home after a "ruff" day of training, in reality, it was a basic workout routine. Until
"Hey, Narutooooo" Naruto looked round to see some familiar faces, (shit I need to come up with names now) "oh, hi Rushko, Ray, Bambi. Did you make Genin too?" Naruto looked at the girls from the Academy.
"YEAH! we did we're gonna be super strong, want to go out on a date like right now?" Ray asked.
"Nah I'm bussy, teaching Konohamaru here!" Naruto turned around to look at Konohamaru, still training with his shadow clone, for Taijutsu practice.
"WOW SO COOL YOU'RE ALREADY A SENSEI, SASUKE COULDNT COMPARE TO YOU NARU!" Ray shouted as she grabbed onto Naruto, Naruto didn't mind physical contact in fact even though he got used to it a bit he still blushed.
"NARUTO MAYBE COOL, BUT HE'S NOTHING LIKE SASUKE, SASUKE IS BETTER THAN NARUTO!" Rushko shouted defending Sasuke who wasn't even there.
"calm down guy's" Bambi tried to defuse the situation.
"HEY, BOSS, I NEED HELP I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS!" Konohamaru shouted to Naruto, he also won't get used to being called boss anytime soon.
"COMIN' let's see here... ahh I got stuck on this too, C'mon let me show you" Naruto practiced the techniques with Konohamaru as the girls watched from the sidelines until they had to go.
"HONORABLE GRANDSON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Ebisu returned, "Oh hey Naruto boss is teaching me, see look at this" Konohamaru went through all the Taijutsu and throwing Naruto taught him.
"and now for bosses greatest Jutsu," Konohamaru went through hand seals
'DID NARUTO TEACH HIM (SHADOW CLONE JUTSU)' Ebisu panicked
"(SEXY JUTSU)" Konohamaru turned into a nacked lady, surprising Ebisu, but not knocking him out.
"now a good time to demonstrate my own super pervy Jutsu," Naruto created a bunch of clones (HERAM JUTSU) Naruto's left and right transformed into a hot sexy naked woman, Ebisu was knocked out by this.
Naruto went right before Ebisu woke up, "Honorable grandson, I'm glad you're not hurt, now how about we get to becoming the Hokage?" Ebisu then suggested attacking the Hokage again to cheer him up but was surprised when he heard "no! Naruto said there's no easy path to becoming Hokage, and a true Hokage protects his friends and family with his life and never goes back on his word and doesn't ever give up no matter what happens, that's his ninja way and mine too" Konohamaru stood up, Ebisu now saw Naruto and Konohamaru in a new light, lord Hokage was right.
JEEZ that was long, it took a while but I'm glad, Konohamaru will be coming back mostly for comedy, but as time goes on he will be like a mini Naruto not hated or anything just a mini Naruto in some way's
next will be the D ranks and the beginning of wave, man I cant wait to finally start wave, well see you next chapter
