"bijuu talking"
~~~~~~~~~chapter start~~~~~~~~~~
Naruto arrived at training ground 7 with an hour to spare and he noticed he was not alone.
"Hey Satsuki." He said with a smile thinking after yesterday she might be a bit warmer towards them.
"Uzumaki." He was wrong, well at least it was better then 'dobe' he thought with a wry smile.
"You wanna spar?" He smirked when he asked this because he knew she wouldn't turn down a fight.
"Hn"
They stood across from each other Satsuki in the same stance she always takes, while Naruto was watching her every move. They both nod at each other, always the more agressive one Naruto rushed her with fists swinging but Satsuki dodged every hit expertly however he was so ferocious she got kicked in the stomach for her efforts. She began to get angry and started getting serious, going full speed and punching Naruto in the stomach and afterwards kneed him in the face.
As Naruto flew on his back he was wondering what happened.
"Holy shit she's fucking fast." He cried out in his mind. "And she had that look again..." He frowned, he didnt like that look at all, it reminded him to much of the villagers. So he groaned and got back up holding his midriff looking straight at her.
"Stop looking at me like that." He said as calmly and politely as he could. When he said this he saw her gaze turning back to her normal deadpan expression. But he was not gonna let it go that quikly.
"Who do you see when you look like that?" He asked after both of them stood there for what felt like minutes.
He didn't know if what he asked was to personal or not. But he was curious and hopeful that it wasnt him.
She stared at him and turned her head to the side.
"My brother." she said with no emotion at all, it was so cold he actually shivered.
"What happened when you graduated?"
He looked at her surprised, why would she ask about that did she notice something? Whatever he couldn't tell her yet ... could he?
"Thats personal." He said instead while holding his eyes off of hers.
"So was your question." She said with that goddamn tiny smirk on her face.
He sighed, she had a point. So he grimaced preparing for the worst.
And as they went under the bridge near the water he told her... everything. About his state as the host of the nine tails, about the betrayel of Mizuki and about the third hokage being a closet pervert.
Through the story she kept silent not interupting him just listening, he thought it felt nice to have a friend that is listening for once.
After he was done he was looking down and glaring at his clenched fists until he heard a scoff.
"You're telling me you knocked the hokage out with a perverted technique..." she glared at him like she really wanted to stab him for that one.
"And that you beat a chunin all by yourself? coming from anyone else i would call bullshit but you were never a liar Uzumaki. Dumb and you have a big mouth yes but not a liar."
He stared at her with a neutral expression not saying anything.
"And the villagers are idiots just like you. The deadlast, the almighty kyuubi is coming to destroy us... please." She scoffed the last part while turning her head away.
"She doesn't hate me but she's still a bitch." he deadpanned in his own head.
Even when trying to cheer him up she insults him. Why is she so infuriating!?
"urgh why do you have to insult me in every thing you say?" He pouted at her.
She looked at this pouting face and turned her face away with an almost unnoticable blush "cute."
"Well, because you're an idiot."
He grits his teeth and turns to look at the water. He we was wondering if he should ask about her brother , his eyes slowly looked at the ripples in the water.
He finally made his choice.
"Satsuki... , what happened with your brother?" As he looked at her he noticed the instant change in her posture. She stiffened and her eyes hardened staring out in the distance as if remembering it.
"i..."
"Satsuki! Narutoooo are you here?"
They looked at each other before Naruto broke the silence.
"Come on, we should go"
As they went back to the clearing Sakura saw them coming from the bridge and looked at them weirdly.
"Hey Sakura." Naruto said , he decided he shouldnt treat her coldly after she wasn't as agressive yesterday as usual.
"Hey, Naruto are you two nervous?" She asked , she was nervously shifting from foot to foot. Satsuki just scoffed and turned away while Naruto grinned at her.
"We'll be fine , you guys got me." He stated confidently with a huge grin.
"pff, thats more dooming then reassuring." The uchiha stated with a cold tone. Naruto gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. "You wanna say that again but louder, bitch?!"
"And waste my time?"
"Argh you are so insufferable!"
"Careful with the big words dobe, dont want you to hurt your brain before the test." She stated with a calm smile as if she didnt just insult him.
"Why!? Why are you such a bitch!?"
Sakura just bounced her head back and forth and couldn't hold in her sweatdrop.
Eventually she began giggling. The two stopped arguing and looked at her.
"You two look like an old married couple."
She said with eyes full of mirth.
The Uchiha's eyes widened before her mouth clamped shut and she glared at her. Meanwhile Naruto's mouth hung open and began blushing up a storm.
He snapped his jaw up and looked aside.
"why am i so nervous suddenly?"
"Hn, as if someone would marry the dobe." Ok , ouch. He wouldn't lie and say that didnt hurt but he said nothing.
Satsuki saw him looking down and felt a slight pang of regret. After that Naruto switched back to his smiling self and continued as if nothing was said.
~~~~~~~~two hours later~~~~~~~~~
"Why are you so late!!?" Birds flew out the tree as the clearing was filled with loud screaming from 2 kids. Kakashi stood there with a sweatdrop.
"Well i saw a cat in a tree and i couldn't let that poor animal remain stuck in the tree right?" He said with an eyesmile while Naruto just glared at him.
"Well , now that you had your little outbursts lets get on shall we? The test is simple." He said as he took 2 bells from one of the pouches on his flack jacket.
"You have till noon to get a bell from me,
if you dont get a bell you fail and get sent back to the academy not only that but that person will also be tied to a stump getting no food while watching the others eat." He stated cheerfully.
Meanwhile Satsuki narrowed her eyes while Naruto remained silent with hard eyes. There was a moment of silence as the three gening started shifting eyes between each other. Kakashi was smiling on the outside but couldnt help but grimace within his mind.
"Looks like another team bound for failure."
He took an alarm from another pouch set it on one of the wooden posts. "Now, you may begin!" The genin quikly jumped into the trees and hid. "hmmm... i can't find Naruto which is surprising to say the least." He took out a book and started reading looking totaly relaxed. Naruto gritted his teeth.
"Tch, he started reading! ... Reading! Ill show him not to underestimate me."
Naruto jumped out of his hiding spot and put his hands in a cross sign. "Kage bunshin no jutsu." 1 became 50 and they all rushed at their teacher who lifted a bored eye and looked at him for a sec then it shifted back to his book.
The clones rushed him but he kept lazily countering them making short jumpes over his kicks sidestepping their punches and when needed which wasnt much just blocked it. Satsuki narrowed her eyes.
"He will fail without help, Kakashi is to far out of our league." She was startled as she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to find.. Naruto? She shook off her thoughts. "We need to work together he is slaughtering my clones like they are nothing."
"And what about Sakura?" She couldn't help but ask, she was wondering why he would come to her and not the pinkette.
"Sakura is smart but, ... she isn't ready for the life of a ninja." He said while looking at her with clenched jaw and cold eyes.
She blushed a bit she thought he looked quite cute with that hardened look.
"Fine, lets go before all of your clones are gone." She said before another voice interrupted them. "Oh, how cute. Im afraid you are to late tho." They turned to see Kakashi with his eyesmile his book gone.
Satsuki jumped out of the way throwing shuriken while naruto did the substitution jutsu and switched with a log forming clones when he was safe. Kakashi caught the two shuriken throwing one at a clone the other one at Naruto's hand.
The clone died leaving smoke to cover up the second one which hit him. Naruto ripped the shuriken out of his hand as the rest of his clones jumped on Kakashi. While Kakashi was busy with a few clones he sensed a chakra spike behind him and substituted just in time to see the log and rest of the clones being fried in a fireball. Satsuki felt a hand grap her ankle and pull her underground till only her head was seen.
"looks like you're out Satsuki ja ne."
Kakashi tried to leave till he found 4 Naruto's jumping out of the trees to attack him while the original was helping Satsuki to pull her out of the ground.
When Naruto got her out he looked at the battle and saw 2 clones working together to actually defend from Kakashi.
"Huh maybe swarming the enemy with clones isn't that smart they look to be working together better with fewer numbers." He saved the thought in his head so he could test it later.
"Thanks ... Naruto." She said as the last clone died and they stood side by side waiting for Kakashi. He looked at her in shock that was the first time she said his name. Unfortunately the bell rung before they had another chance to go for the bells. As the three came upon the training ground they saw Sakura already there seemingly knocked out. Kakashi tied her to a stump before waking her.
"Well you all failed obviously." He said with an eyesmile. Naruto glared at him and clenched his hands ready to attack him again. "Not only did you fail but you 3 are an utter disgrace to ninja. Sakura 1 low level genjutsu was all it took to knock you out, Satsuki and Naruto you 2 left your other teammate to her fate while you both tried to get a bell."
"But there are only 2 bells!" Naruto snarled glaring at him. "That doesn't matter, the test was to see if you could work together as a team not to see if you could take a bell. Understand this i do not care for much except loyalty.
A ninja who can not complete his mission is trash but ,... a ninja who betrayes his comrades is even lower then trash." He said completely serious.
"Im giving you 1 other chance. Here Satsuki, Naruto." he said giving them lunchboxes. "I will be back shortly. Sakura does not get any food or you fail and if i see you feeding her i will personally escort you to the hokage for insubordination." He looked deadly calm as he said this while poofing away afterwards.
Naruto looked at his food while his stomach grumbled , gritting his teeth he stood up and took a kunai and cut Sakura loose sitting back down afterwards with his lunchbox between him and the pinkette open.
"What are you doing Uzumaki?!" She seethed, the dobe was ruining their chances of graduating! He looked at her calmy. "He never said we couldn't cut her loose and if she doesn't eat she'll only be a liability." Since when does Uzumaki think things through?
"Thanks Naruto." Sakura said quietly while shifting her eyes. Maybe she was wrong in how she treated him in the academy.
But the tree gening looked up in fear as a smoke cloud appeared showing Kakashi when it cleared. He just stood their judging them with his right eye.
"You pass." He said after a while.
"Yesss!" The blonde jumped up shouting then took Sakura in his arms and spinned her around. After putting her down he turned to Satsuki to do the same only to find a kunai in her hands and he sweatdropped. "no way Uzumaki." she deadpanned while the mentioned blonde got hit on top of his head with Sakura beside him having a tickmark.
"Dont touch me Naruto!" She screamed.
He sighed , looks like he overstepped his bounderies. "Now now , i will see you tomorrow at 7 for our first mission minions, ja ne." When he left , Sakura was gone not soon after. Naruto looked up from the ground and found Satsuki still there when he got up he looked at her with a questioning gaze. She looked at him and demanded. "Uzumaki, spar with me."
She got her response when he grinned and went to the middle of the clearing.
