The Mages Of The Leaf
AN: Well hello, hello my beautiful readers I am GrimReaper113 and I bid you a warm welcome to chapter 13 of 'The Mages Of The Leaf'.
This chapter will mostly be about Wendy and Carla and their first day in the academy. So basically this will be a filler so yea I'll be taking a break from the original idea of the story for a while and show you guys their day to day life for a while.
Why you may ask? Well because by the end of this little filler arc I will be skipping to three years into the series and you guys will see why when the time comes.
Also to those that love my other story 'The Dragon Slayer King' I regret to inform you all that it will go into a major re-write and will most likely retrace a lot so don't expect Naruto to have his family and all just yet.
But enough of this rambling on to chapter 13 of this baby…
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!
-Last Time-
''… come Wendy it's time for you to go to the academy since class starts at 9:00 and it's exactly 8:40.'' Naruto said while Wendy nodded
''Can Carla come too… I promise she'll behave.'' Wendy asked while giving him the cutest puppy dog eyes she could muster.
'sigh' ''Fine but I want her to behave herself ok.'' All he got in response was a happy smile.
-Now- -Street of Uzushiogakure –
Walking down the streets of the bustling morning streets was a new experience for Wendy since last night Kushina and her walked down this streets when it was night time meaning everyone was going home already.
''Wow I didn't know there was this many people living here?'' Wendy questioned while looking left and right.
To her left was a little store that sold prepared lunches and other food relative things. To her right was a candy store which happened to currently have a mother buying a bag of goodies for her son.
''Yes there are currently over 10,000 people living here right now and about 8,000 of those are our ninja forces and the other 2,000 are civilians… but from our ninja's only about 7,000 are active and the other 1,000 are academy students so even though it sounds like a lot we are considered the smallest and weakest of the ninja villages in the Elemental Nations right now.'' Naruto explained to his little girl while Carla merely looked on with interest.
''Really wow, but don't worry papa I'm sure Uzushiogakure will grow stronger with time.'' Wendy announced with a happy smile.
''I hope so Wendy, I hope so.'' Naruto smile at her while looking forward
''Oh and since your my daughter now you should introduce yourself as Wendy Uzumaki or if you want to keep your last name then Wendy Uzumaki Marvell ok honey.'' Naruto informed her while patting her head.
''Ok got it.'' Wendy said with a cute determined face.
-10 Minutes Later-
They had gotten to the academy with only five minutes to spare and while Naruto was talking with the head of the academy Wendy was busy looking around. As she looked around she saw a group of kids walking down the hall way and Wendy decided to listen in.
''Hey did you guys hear… the Uzukage is enrolling one of his kids here today.'' One of the kids said.
''Really but aren't all his children super young?'' a fat looking kid responded
''Who knows I mean he could have had another kid before them and just recently found them.'' The only girl in the group said.
''Really what is wrong with that imagination of your kiki.'' The first boys asked with a grin.
''Don't call me that!'' the girl screamed while smashing her fist onto the boys head.
With that the kids rounded a corner and were gone leaving Wendy there with a nervous expression.
''Calm down Wendy… if you keep acting like this no one will take seriously here.'' The squeaky voice of Carla snapped Wendy out of her nervousness.
''But Carla what if I embarrass myself… I don't want to embarrass papa's name like that but if I do everyone will laugh at me for being the only one in his family who is weak.'' Wendy sadly said while looking at the floor.
What both Carla and Wendy didn't know was that Naruto had finished his meeting with the head instructor and was just around the corner when he heard this. He was about to interfere with their conversation when Carla spoke up first.
''Don't be ridiculous child your papa seems to be the kind of man who doesn't care about what other think of him so I would worry about anything… in fact I bet he'd be happy to hear that you were trying your hardest to become stronger but not to uphold his name but for yourself instead so just go and act like yourself ok Wendy.'' Carla spoke surprising Wendy at this newborn kitten's intelligence and bringing a smile to Naruto's face.
''Thank you Carla… I really needed that.'' Wendy smile
That's when Naruto came around the corner grabbing their attention.
''Well Wendy I'm all done here so here… in that piece of paper it tells you were you class is so go and meet your new teacher and classmates.'' Naruto said while handing her a small yellow piece of paper with only a number on it.
''Ok I'll go right now then papa… um is there something I need to tell the teacher or not?'' Wendy asked him
''Nope everything is taken care of so just go hand that piece of paper in and he'll tell you the rest ok… well have a nice day you two and Carla behave yourself ok… well I'll see you back home for dinner I need to go to the office now.'' Naruto said while waving good bye to her.
''Bye papa!'' Wendy waved back while watching him leave.
When Naruto was out of her line of site she looked at the paper again and started to walk towards where she thought the room was.
''Second floor, room 28 huh? Well I guess we have to hurry and get to class eh Carla?'' Carla merely looked at the paper and looked away.
''If you say so I for one don't really care for this learning business.'' Carla said while yawning.
''Come on Carla it might be fun?'' she never got a response since Carla decided to take a nap.
-10 Minutes Later-
Wendy was running ten minutes late because when she got to the second floor she found out that her class was at the other side of the floor. She had ran to at least make it in time but mad about three wrong turns and even managed to somehow end up locked in the girls bathroom.
The last being hilarious because all she had to do was push while she was trying to pull on the door. But now she was out of breath but was in front of her classroom door.
''We made it Carla.'' Wendy tiredly said.
''It seems we did… well what are you waiting for child enter already or you'll be even more late.'' Carla said making Wendy realize she was right.
Wendy walked up to the door and knocked and waited for a response.
''Enter!'' the voice of a man was heard and Wendy took a deep breath to calm herself and opened the door.
There in front of her was a young looking deep tan man with a scar going through his nose and he also had his hair in a pineapple style hair do. He had a rusty red jacket with a black long sleeve under shirt and navy blue pants along with black ninja sandals.
''Well hello there are you the new kid that was supposed to join my class today… your late you know?'' the instructor said gaining a blush of embarrassment from Wendy.
''I'm sorry but I got lost since this was my first time coming here.'' Wendy bowed to him.
''It's quiet alright giving who your father is I'm surprised you even came to class since your father would mostly ditch my class in his younger years.'' The man said with a small smile of his face at remembering those days.
''Well if she would of ditched I'm sure her mothers and grandmother would of scolded her for it.'' The squeaky voice of Carla made itself known surprising everyone.
''Whoa is that a summoning animal?'' one boy asked
''She already knows how to summon man no fair she must have ninja for parents.'' Another said
''Eh not my first choice for a summoning animal but hey to each their own I guess.'' A black haired girl said while shrugging her shoulders.
The teacher merely eyed the cat and sighed before clapping his hand getting the attention of the class.
''Alright calm down everyone it's time for her to introduce herself… so please step up here and introduce yourself to the class ok.'' The teacher said while moving to sit down on his desk.
Wendy gulped and started to move towards the middle of the class and just when she was almost there she tripped on her own two feet. She fell face first into the wooden floor with Carla having barely gotten out of her grip and was now hovering above Wendy.
''Ow that hurt.'' Wendy said with tears at the corner of her eyes.
That's when she heard the rest of the class start to laugh at her which in return almost made Wendy run out at being embarrassed in her first day of class.
''Oh my god did you see that… what a klutz!'' a boy laugh out making everyone else laugh harder.
Wendy just stood up with her hair shadowing her eyes so no one saw her crying.
''ALL OF YOU SHUT UP AND QUIET MAKING FUN OF HER NOW!'' the teacher screamed scaring them all into silence.
''Now please introduce yourself.'' The teacher softly said to try and console her if just a little.
Wendy wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at everyone with fire in her eyes.
''My name is Wendy Uzumaki and I'm the adopted daughter of Naruto Uzumaki.'' Wendy said making all the kids freeze at hearing that the girl they were making fun of was the kid everyone was hearing about.
''Well then Wendy I'm Iruka Umino the teacher and sensei for this year's class so go ahead and take a sit where ever you want.'' Iruka said
Wendy went over and pick up Carla and head to the front of the class and sat down next to the window and looked at Iruka.
''Well then now that we got the introductions out of the way let's get back to the lesson.''
All throughout the lesson Wendy paid extra attention to it and since she didn't have a note book or anything Iruka had giving her a textbook and two notebooks along with a packet of the things Wendy had missed out on to get her caught up.
The lesson was mostly about ninja tactics and what to do in case of an evacuation or invasion. Wendy was really having a great time since she was writing away in her new notebook everything Iruka said along with Carla who was lying on top of her head and telling her what to write should it have been important.
Soon a bell rang surprising Wendy and Carla who were so engrossed in their writing.
''Well kids that's the lunch bell so please remember that after lunch we'll meet in the training field for target practice so meet up in field 3 ok.'' Iruka announced to the kids before they all got up and ran outside.
Wendy merely followed them and saw that most of them were heading outside the academy grounds for food.
''Hey Carla do you want to go look for something outside or should we go to the cafeteria to see what they got?'' Wendy question
Before Carla could answer they heard footsteps behind her and turned to see a group of boys approaching her.
''Hmph so your Uzukage-sama's daughter huh… you don't look so tough.'' The obvious leader of the small group of five said.
''Yea I mean how do we know if your even Naruto-sama's daughter you could just be making that up to become popular.'' A sickly skinny boy said.
''I-I don't want any trouble please I just want to go and get lunch before it's over.'' Wendy said while stepping back a little.
''Don't worry lunch lasts an hour and a half so we got plenty of time to get to know each other.'' A slightly overweight kid said while munching on a bag of chips.
Before Wendy could say anything else she heard another voice behind her.
''Hey leave her alone you!'' Wendy turned around and saw a mint-colored girl about the same age of her father walking towards her.
The kids ran when they saw that the girl had a ninja headband around her right shoulder. When they were out of sight the mint haired girl looked down at Wendy and smile at her.
''You okay there kid?'' the girls asked gaining a thankful smile.
''Yes thank you for the help um… I don't even know your name ma'am.'' Wendy said while looking at the older girl who laughed and rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
''Yea my mistake… well the names Fuu and what might your be.'' Fuu asked while crouching to be at Wendy's level.
''Wendy Uzumaki and this here is Carla.'' Wendy introduced Carla and herself.
She didn't noticed Fuu's eyes widen at hearing her last name though neither did Carla since she had once again fallen asleep.
''Hey are you by any chance related to the leader of this village Wendy?'' Fuu asked while looking on curiously.
''Yes his my adopted father… why do you ask?'' Wendy wondered while titling her head a little to the left.
''Well I just came from your daddy's office and what are the odds of me helping out his daughter huh?'' Fuu said with a huge smile
Wendy was gonna ask what she was doing with her father when her stomach decided that she had been talking or far too long.
''Well looks like someone skipped lunch… well how about I treat you to some nice steamy ramen, I was told by your dad that there's a really great ramen stand nearby so how about we go there?'' Fuu asked getting Wendy to nod
''Great then come on the stand is only about ten minutes from here.'' Fuu said a little too excited since she was pulling Wendy along with her.
It took a little longer than what Fuu had said since said girl had stopped about ten times just too either look at stands or to buy something else.
''Sorry about the long walk here Wendy it's just that back in my old village I didn't get out much for certain reasons and now that I can I want to go everywhere.'' Fuu said with a small smile.
''It's ok Ms. Fuu I was the same since I was the youngest everyone treated me like a baby and cuddled me instead of letting me grow, but now I can grow and show them all that I don't need to be cuddled at all.'' Wendy responded with a huge small making Fuu smile too.
''Welcome to Ichiraku's Ramen stand!'' the two of them turned around and saw a pretty brown haired young woman smiling at them.
When the two of them turned to check the stand out they found out that it wasn't a stand at all. The place was big not oh my god big but still enough to make the two of them wonder why they called it a stand when it looked like a small restaurant instead.
''Um excuse me but why do you call it a stand and not a restaurant instead?'' Fuu asked making the young woman giggle.
''Oh if I had a ryō for every time I heard that one… but to answer your question it's called like that because my father and our number one customer decided it would remain that as a reminder of both his childhood and my father's dream.'' The woman answered.
''Oh well can we get a table please?'' Fuu asked gaining a nod from her.
''Right this way then… oh and by the way my name is Ayame.'' Ayame said making Wendy bow and Fuu to smile.
''I'm sorry for our rudeness… my name is Wendy and this is Carla.'' Wendy introduced herself while patting Carla who was just looking around.
''My name is Fuu and I just transferred here last night.'' Fuu pointed at herself.
''Nice to meet you two.'' With that all three walked in silence.
Not that either one of them minded since they were all smiling. It didn't take long for them to get a table right next to a window that had the Uzukage tower in plain view.
''Wow you can see the Uzukage tower from here.'' Fuu stated
''Yes my father insisted it be close by since our Uzukage is our number one customer after all.'' Ayame said while taking out two menus and a notepad.
''My father is your number one customer?'' Wendy asked which made Ayame almost drop her notepad.
''Your Naruto's new daughter… well he wasn't lying when he said that his new daughter was super cute.'' While she was saying that she was pinching Wendy's cheeks and rubbing her which made Wendy get tears in her eyes since she hated being treated as a child.
''Well this times ramen is on the house since I just met my first god-daughter.'' Ayame smiled
Wendy on the other hand just looked at her with surprise in her red face.
''What do you mean god-daughter?'' Wendy asked
''Well your father came early today and asked if I'd be your god-mother and well I said yes.'' Ayame said while she hugged Wendy.
''So order anything you'd like okay you two.'' Both Wendy and Fuu got huge smiles.
''Thank you very much.'' Both girls said at the same time.
After that both looked over their menu and it took them little to no time at all to choose their food.
''I'll have the miso ramen please, what would you like Carla?'' Wendy looked at Carla waiting for her response.
''Well I guess I'll have the fish side dish please.'' Carla said making Ayame look at her for only a second before shrugging and writing it down.
''Then I'll have two miso, and two pork please.'' Fuu said getting a nod from Ayame.
''Alright then coming right up.'' With that she was gone with the menus
''So Ms. Fuu why were you transferred here if I may ask?'' Fuu merely looked at her and watched as Wendy put Carla down on the table and used a napkin to tie it around Carla like a bib.
''Well it's a long story but to put it in a nut shell there's this evil group that's hunting people like me and your father down so he made a deal with my old village in exchange for me to keep me safe from this people.'' Fuu told her not wanting to tell her about her jinchuuriki status.
''Don't ask me the why since your father made me promise that I wouldn't tell anyone why I was here ok.''
Wendy just nodded at that and the group fell in a comfortable silence while waiting for their food. It took a while but when it came both smile and dug in. They soon found out why this place was had so many customers.
With ramen this good anyone would come here to eat it even if they didn't like ramen that much.
Wendy demonstrated why she was called Naruto's daughter by inhaling all her ramen in record time almost beating Naruto in speed.
''Wow it seems that whether your adopted or not your just like Naruto when it comes to eating ramen.'' Ayame giggled out making Wendy blush
Wendy then went on to order four more bowls of miso ramen and two more salt ramen making Fuu question Wendy's new found love of this noodles.
''Wendy enough eating we need to leave child.'' Carla's voice rang out making Wendy who currently had a mouth full of noodles with a few sticking out look at her.
''whbat sdot yolteu medasn casdrla.'' Wendy tried to ask with her mouth full.
''Swallow first ask your question second Wendy!'' Carla yelled out disgusted since a few strands of noodles came flying out of Wendy's mouth.
Wendy blushed and chewed her food a few more times before she finally swallowed her food.
''Sorry… what I said was what do you mean Carla?'' Wendy asked once more.
'sigh' ''We're gonna be late again for class Wendy remember our little run in with those kids and our little venture around town with Fuu not to mention our time here took longer than we expected and we now only have about ten minutes to head over to field three which we don't even know where it is at.'' Carla said making Wendy gasp.
''Oh my god your right Carla… please forgive me Ms. Fuu and Ms. Ayame but I have to head back to the academy immediately.'' She didn't even give both woman time to respond since she grabbed Carla and ran.
'sigh' ''She's just like Naruto… when it comes to ramen he would forget everything else and focus only on ramen.'' Ayame smile
'giggle' ''Yes but Wendy was rather cute with her panic face… I can just tell she'll grow to be a really beautiful young woman… isn't that right Uzukage-sama?'' Fuu asked no one in particular.
That is until they saw a middle aged man stand up from the table right next to were both Wendy and Carla were a minute ago. The man went up in smoke and it revealed Naruto standing there with a smile on his face.
''Yea your both right… Fuu thank you for looking after my daughter for me… I know it's a weird mission to give you but a father can never be too careful when it comes to his children right?'' Naruto smiled at the end making both girls to nod.
''It's no problem actually I was gonna ask if when she finally graduates from the academy can I be her Jonin sensei?'' Fuu asked
''Well that depends if by then you manage to make it to Jonin status.'' Naruto told her making Fuu grin.
''I'll take that as a yes then… well see ya Ayame good bye mister nine I'll see you tomorrow I guess.'' Ayame merely waved good bye while Naruto got a tick mark on his forehead.
''Stop calling me mister nine I'm the Uzukage so when in the village refer to me as such… sheesh Fuu learn to be respectful for once.'' All he got in return was a deadpan look from Ayame and a giggle from Fuu who started to walk away.
''Whatever mister nine.'' With that she was gone.
''Well back to the office, thanks for the meal Ayame tell the old man bye for me ok.'' Ayame smiled and nodded.
''Sure thing Uzukage-sama.'' Ayame teasingly said making Naruto sigh in defeat and disappear in a swirl of leafs.
-Wendy and Carla-
Wendy was running through the crowd trying to get to the academy quickly to try and ask around first for the location of training ground three. As she got closer to the academy she saw the same group of boys from earlier standing in front of her.
''Well look who's here.'' The leader said while grinning making the others laugh.
''Wendy we don't have time for this we are five minutes away from being late and I for once don't want to tell your father that on your first day you were late two times now do you.'' Carla told her making Wendy flinch and nod.
''Please let me through if I'm late again I'll be in trouble so please step to the side or I'll move you…. And I don't like using force.'' Wendy said giving them a determined look while getting in a crouching position. She put Carla down who then walked off to the side to not get in the crossfire.
''Oh look she thinks she can take us… look here kid we're two whole years older than you do you know what that means… it means that we are about to graduate and become real ninja's soon so we should be the one telling…'' the leader never got to finish since they soon heard a voice scream out an attack.
SKY DRAGON ROAR!
Wendy screamed out while sending out a small three feet wide gust of wind at them sending tumbling back on their asses. As soon as Wendy finished she grabbed Carla and ran past them.
''Sorry but I really am running late!'' Wendy screamed out while she continued to run.
Will Wendy make it in time and how will she do when she sees what target practice really is. You'll have to wait and see my friends.
AN: Well that's it what do you guys think eh good or bad? Anyways these fillers will probably take about four to five chapters so please be patient.
Again 'The Dragon Slayer King ' is gonna go through a major re-write sorry.
Next to be updated 'The True Slayer' or the re-written version of 'The Dragon Slayer King' or even possibly a new story.
GrimReaper113 OUT!
