Reviews corner
UnsanMusho: I have plans for Naruto both inside and out of the school so don't worry about that
DragoFae24: no you are not mistaken. The second chapter is an updated and more detailed version of the first chapter. The first chapter was a pilot, a test to see if people wanted me to make it. I chose to continue here instead of making a new one since a bunch of people already favorited and followed it and I didn't want them to lose track of this story. I don't know about the girls from the naruto world but I will consider the ones from MHA
Fraxures: glad you liked the fight. I'll consider the females you gave
3headed-dragon: I'll consider those girls. Toru is an interesting choice
1: I could use that name but it sounds too close to my first fic and what this naruto is based on "Fox in the leaf"
SLappYNano: hope you like it. I know it isn't the best so whether you like it or not I appreciate you going to read it
ShadowRealmComics: we will see who he ends up with. I like those names, I'll think about them along with others I got
NarutoKazahama06: it could very much work. Let's wait and see how they interact
Yuki Riki: chapter two is an updated version of chapter 1. Chapter 1 was a test chapter to see if anyone would like to see my take on the crossover.
Dragon and Sword Master: yes I did take a chunk from the pilot and use it in the first chapter as chapter 1 is an updated version of the pilot. Thanks for the suggestion for the pairing
Inkman92: got it
Trado: I will do my best to add original content. I don't plan to drop Vigilante. Thanks for the title suggestions. And thank you for the cover art suggestion
CUBONE104: pairing suggestion taken into consideration. Hope you continue to like the story
Vongola Ninja: I planned it only being in his age range. I'll consider the girls you suggested. And what could Mina's hero name be?
Jackpierce375: good reason for those girls
RengokuWolf: well for your suggestions. Mt. lady is a maybe since I already established her and she is her canon age, for Rumi, I can possibly de-age her since she hasn't shown up yet. Mina is another constant suggestion so maybe. We will see as we go on
Blue Eyes and Dr. Pepper: we will see how the pairing ends up but if you are worried about me making this a typical harem, with lemons and the like, I will not be going that route. I want to make this story-oriented so I will do my best to make the story entertaining.
Last-Uchiha785: I'll think of something about the threat to Naruto. As for the pairing, I don't know if it will be a harem since it is still early in the story. It might be single or it might be a harem but if it does become a harem I will do my absolute best to not make it like others. I want the STORY to be entertaining. Also (not really defending myself) but there are polygamous relationships in the real world. Honestly, I am surprised this is actually a thing in the real world
MakL: best way to keep a story alive is to take a break sometimes. When I get writer's block I will take a break
Guest 1: another Momo suggestion :)
Just a reader: oh the relation between Mt. Lady and Vigilante is all chaos. As for the harem thing. I will not be doing it like "oh they all like him so we should share." no, there will be drama. If I do go the harem route, there will be drama. A lot of drama. I don't want to get rid of any of the students from the class since I like them all. And the animal whisperer may not seem like much but I kinda already started making plans for him. I know that in real life when they say that only a certain number of students are allowed in class, they stick to it but there are many times they allow a few sit-ins to be part of the class. Nice title name. I'll consider it
Guest 2: Kendo suggestion is taken into consideration
Guest 3: yes it is an updated version of the sneak peek. I changed it cause Nezu does not need to know this
Sabakunoyokho: heroes are going to find Vigilante is much different from other criminals. Girls taken onto the list to be considered
SPark681: we'll find out later
Volcasiron30: girls taken into consideration
Mpower0438: maybe Froppy
Saif Omar: explanation in this chapter
Monster King: thank you
12Ookami12: about time, my friend. Girls considered
Guest 4: yeah I tend to always forget that it changes Shunshin to sunshine
TO ALL READERS: now that chapter 2 is up I will be removing the pilot chapter from the chapters list and putting it in my "Pilot chapters and concepts". It will happen within 24 hours from when this chapter is uploaded so it might screw up some of the review placements.
Chapter 2: meeting and reporting in
*BOOM*
Naruto groaned as a large explosion was heard just outside the warehouse causing the whole building to shake. He tilted his head back as he was laying on his back and looked at the clock he had a few feet away from his pillow pile. He groaned again as another explosion was heard and he saw the time say "5:20 AM". "Really? Do the bad guys have to start this early in the morning? Why can't they wait till people actually wake up at the normal time." he rolled to the side as he groggily got to his paws before he stretched them out as a cat would. He curled his fingers in and left a set of claw marks on the floor, joining many others. Once he was done with that he began to shift his form back into his human form so he could get dressed in the black outfit that he wore yesterday. "Gotta get another set of clothes soon." he sighed as he looked around at the upper level of the warehouse he used.
It was merely a barren floor with a couple of empty crates scattered around. On top of a few of the crates were many used and chipped kunai and shuriken he had used in his battles. He always had to retrieve them as he wasn't sure if any of the heroes would be able to track him down if they got a hold of them. Though at this point they were unusable since the very metal looked like it would shatter if they hit anything. "And I'm gonna need a new set of equipment soon."
Now many would think that he would be miserable living in such a worn-out area and having pitiful clothing and equipment. But Naruto didn't care for them. The equipment he had lasted a very long time since he didn't use them much since he had many other techniques that did the job better. His clothing was the same since he used his evasive skills to avoid many damaging attacks from the heroes and villains. The set he had now had lasted more than six months after being in so many battles. The other sets were destroyed, mostly burned because of Endeavor's hot temper. The one destroyed the most was turned to ash when they met in an open area with no one around.
He rolled his shoulders before he began making his way to an open window on the other side of the warehouse. He leaped to the window sill and looked at what was causing the explosions. His eyes widened as he saw that it was a demolition crew getting ready to take down the very building he was staying at. "Damn, I thought I still had a week left." he jumped back inside and ran to his stuff. "Why the hell do they have to move ahead of schedule." he moved to a crate, lifted the lid, reached in, and pulled out a few small scrolls. "Don't even have time to pack up at my own pace." he summoned a few clones as they packed everything up. After everything was packed up, one of the clones handed a single scroll to him as the warehouse shook again. "Time to head out." dispelling the clones and putting the scroll in his pocket, he put on his face covering back on and ran towards the window. He jumped out of the window when a big explosion caused the building to collapse. He landed on a roof and looked at the collapsing building. "Well since I'm up, I might as well get some breakfast and wait till a decent hour…" he glared at the construction crew who wanted to get a head start on the day. "Before I make the call…..and make a report." he then leaped away to find a location that was open so he could acquire food.
~Later~
"No"
Nezu smiled as he sat in his chair. "I knew that you would respond in such a manner, Aizawa."
"Because it is an irresponsible decision. We already have a vast number of applicants and the ones that were accepted due to recommendation are already set to take the exams. Normally if someone turned in an application this late, the document would already be tossed away. You can't just come in at the very last second and bring in one newcomer as well as saying he will be put into the hero course. You make it sound as if he will be accepted no matter how he does. Not to mention that his paperwork isn't even finished yet."
Nezu nodded as he clasped his paws. "I understand the regulations that have been set for this but I see great potential in the boy and I do not want to see it wasted."
Aizawa turned to him and asked. "So why not have him apply for the next round of applicants? It's not like the school is going anywhere."
"No, but he might. I do not know the details of his circumstances but I have concluded that he lives a very difficult life and is constantly on the move. should we not obtain him now, we may lose him for good."
Aizawa leaned back in his chair as he sighed. This was something that he wasn't expecting from Nezu. The super-intelligent animal would usually be neutral about the students. Yeah, he cared about all of them and wanted to see them all become great heroes, but this was the first time he was adamant about a specific individual. "Well, you are going to have to deal with all the paperwork for this one and hope that you can get the documents submitted in time. Also, you said that he still needs to give you an answer. For all we know, he might just decline."
"Yes. there is a possibility that he will decline the offer, but I believe that he will give me the answer I hope for."
*ring ring ring*
The two looked at the phone that was sitting on the desk before Nezu picked it up and looked at the number. "And there it is." he picked up the call and pressed the phone to his ear. "Hello, Nezu speaking."
{Nezu, it's me.}
Nezu smiled when he heard the voice of the one he was waiting for
Aizawa sighed tiredly as he slumped in his chair and mumbled out. "I hope he ends up in another class."
Naruto was inside a small shop that sold food meant for lunches as he was using their phone to make the call. He had used a henge to make himself look like an older man with brown shaggy hair, wearing blue jeans, a green shirt, and white sneakers, but made sure to keep his voice the same so he would not confuse Nezu
{Ah, it's good to hear from you so soon. Though I had expected you to call me later in the day.}
Naruto grunted as he withheld a yawn. "My day started earlier than usual so I chose to get this over with."
{well, starting the day early allows more to be done. So…..have you made your decision?}
Naruto nodded despite knowing that Nezu couldn't see it. "I accept your invitation but there are some details that we need to go over. Preferably somewhere private. Are you free right now?"
{hmm. I don't have anything that takes priority. So I am able to meet you at the moment.}
"Alright. The building you met me at, can you meet me there?"
{it will take me a bit of time to get there but that is acceptable.}
Naruto smiled "thanks. I'll see you there and let it just be you and me, bye."
{I will see you then.}
Naruto hung up the phone and made his way to the exit. As he walked past the register, he grabbed a packet of flavored bread that was waiting for him as he already paid for it. He opened it and took a bite as he thought to himself. 'I miss Ichiraku Ramen.' he made his way into an alley before he dropped the henge, finished his breakfast, and disappeared.
Nezu hung up his phone, hopped off his chair, and began to make his way out of the room.
"Where are you going?"
Nezu stopped at the door and looked at Aizawa. "I am going to meet with him right now. There are some matters that he wishes to discuss in private. I should return in two hours or so."
Aizawa looked at Nezu with a critical look in his eyes. "You're going to go meet someone in a location that he designated? I should go with you since this sounds too fishy for my tastes." He got up to follow Nezu but his friend's raised paw stopped him.
"I appreciate your concern but I trust this boy and I do not believe he has any ill will towards me."
Aizawa gave a hard stare "I still don't like it."
Nezu nodded. "I know. but in order to keep his answer positive, I will meet with him alone. Do not worry about me." he turned around and left the room
Aizawa stood there for a minute before he turned back to his desk and sat down. He would trust his friend's ability to take care of himself despite the shady situation this seemed to be
Nezu arrived at the building where he had met Naruto and looked up to the roof as if he expected to see him up there. Not seeing any sign of him, he chose to wait for his arrival. He didn't wait long since he felt a presence behind him. "Is this a sort of payback for me appearing behind you yesterday?"
Behind Nezu came Naruto as he put his hands into his blue jean pockets. "Kinda. Roles are kinda reversed this time."
Nezu turned around and nodded. He looked at the boy and saw that he was wearing a simple orange shirt and blue jeans. "So shall we get these matters cleared up?"
Naruto nodded as he began to walk in the direction of a nearby park with Nezu following. "Well, do I need to sign any papers or something so I can apply for the...school." he shivered at the word school since he never thought he would willingly go back to it.
Nezu smirked at the shiver and figured that he was one of those who did not like the idea of school and wouldn't find much enjoyment in learning. He gained much respect for the boy for choosing to go to it when he didn't enjoy it. "Yes there are some applications that you need to sign and I do want to ask you a few things about you personally."
Naruto looked down at Nezu with a questioning look. "What do you need to know?"
"I would like to understand why you are treading the line between hero and villain?"
It took Naruto a sec before he got what he meant. Looking around and seeing that they were entering the park but with a few people still around him, he whispered loud enough for Nezu to hear. "You wanna know why I work as a Vigilante instead of a hero."
Nezu gave a hum of acknowledgment as they arrived at a bench that was in a part of the park that didn't get many people.
The two sat down as Nezu brought up his suitcase, opening it, and pulling out the documents that were needed. Since they were on a clipboard already, he handed it over to Naruto as he waited for Naruto to answer his question.
Naruto looked over the document, reading what it asked before he signed his name. As he was signing he answered. "To be honest, I started doing it because I was bored."
Nezu was a little stunned by the answer. He had assumed that Naruto did it because he wanted to be a hero but he was never given the opportunity. But it goes to show that assumptions will, most of the time, lead to incorrect conclusions.
"When I saw criminals running around the city, it was always followed by a hero showing up and taking them down fast. I didn't think I needed to do anything since the heroes were always doing their job. But I would on occasion stop a villain when I didn't have anything else to do."
Now Nezu was intrigued. If someone with the mindset of not needing to do it often since someone else was on the job, changes into someone who does hero work without permission frequently, then what was his motivation?
"….but I soon saw something that bugged the hell out of me." He finished another document and went to the next and read it over. "During a hero-villain chase, they ran through a crowded street and caused damage to the buildings as they went. Thing was that they didn't stop. Hero kept chasing the villain without looking behind him. A chunk of concrete fell on top of a kid that got away from his mom. The kid was lucky enough to not get seriously hurt or fully trapped, he could have gotten out by the hole that was left open since the chunk was leaning against the wall, but he was crying out for help, screaming for someone to get him out. And the majority of the people were chasing the fight so they could watch, while the ones that did hear the kid were unable to move the chunk of concrete." he paused in signing as he gripped the pen and clipboard tightly but making sure not to break it. "I couldn't believe that no one could help him and I was reminded of another little kid I met years ago. Another kid who didn't believe in heroes. He said that anyone that tried to become a hero would just end up dead cause the bad guy would always win." his tension dropped as he remembered the moment he proved to Inari that heroes do exist in his world. "I felt that if the kid remained under that rock longer, he might start to lose belief in heroes. I know what it's like to lose faith in something. So I chose to jump in and get the kid out of it. Pulling up the hoodie I had on, I jumped in and moved the large slab away. And when the kid noticed that he was free, he gave the biggest smile he could give at me and said 'thank you, hero'."
Nezu could see the happy smile the boy had and began to understand why he did what he did.
"I didn't stay long as I heard something else being destroyed in the direction of the fight. So I went to make sure that no one else was put in danger. Saved a couple more people till the fight ended. After that, I would occasionally do what a lot of heroes don't do, make sure the people aren't hurt."
"So why didn't you try to become a pro hero? Why become a vigilante? Every agency has put you at the top of their wanted list and the police have done all they can to find out who you are."
Naruto finished the last piece of paperwork as he handed it back to Nezu. "Because based on all records, I don't exist." He kept the real reason to himself as Nezu didn't need to know.
Nezu looked over the files and noticed several things that caught his attention. 'No guardian, no address to his dwelling, and no level of education.' he looked at Naruto as he came to his conclusion. 'On the streets at a very early age.' he decided to file away this information for another time as he had something he needed to bring up. "We can discuss more on that at a later date. Something I feel we need to be concise about is your affiliation with the moniker 'Vigilante'. I feel we should keep it a secret that you were Vigilante."
Naruto tilted his head back as he looked at the sky. He had a knowing smirk on his face as he thought about what Nezu just said. 'Were? Heh heh, sure we'll go with that….for the moment.' "That's a given. If people found out that you let someone who was on the most wanted list into U.A, you would be in so much trouble. Not to mention that the press would find some way to bash on the school. Those vultures will do anything to get ratings and stuff. Making someone who is well-known look bad is something they would kill for."
Nezu was a little surprised by how astute his deduction was. Yes, Nezu was taking a very big risk here. Should it fail, Nezu would lose all credibility in being a hero as well as an instructor. But many of the greatest rewards in life come with the greatest risks
Naruto got to his feet and stretched his arms over his head. "Give me about a week to find a place to live and I'll fill it in when I have it set in. and don't think that just because I don't have the education that I won't be able to pass." he then looked at his clothing and thought about the costume allowance. "And I have a way to get a costume before I start."
Nezu began to put the documents away. "I hope it is through legitimate methods." he smiled teasingly as Naruto began to walk away.
Naruto twisting his torso to look at Nezu. "hey!" his pupils narrowed even more "I'm not that bad. Anyway, I'll talk to you another time. I got stuff I gotta do."
"I would recommend you pull back from that role. You are trying to become a pro hero."
Naruto smiled as he turned away from Nezu and waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry about that. It's not what I was going to do." he paused as he remembered something else that he needed to do about his application. "I also need to fix that quirk registration."
"Hmm, your quirk could bring about questions about your affiliation with Vigilante if they see you using the same quirk as he does."
Naruto smiled as he turned back to Nezu and gave a foxy grin. "Don't worry about that. I have a way to avoid suspicion with my quirk, trust me." he waved at Nezu as he spun around and began to leave once again. "Later, Nezu."
Before Naruto could get far, Nezu called out. "Wait! I would like to know one more thing."
Naruto looked over his shoulder at Nezu.
"The boy you said didn't believe in heroes anymore. What happened afterward?"
Naruto gave a foxy grin with a thumbs up. "I became his hero." he turned back as he thought back to his mission to Wave and Inari and how the kid called him the hero of his home. 'Funny how I became a hero in a world that doesn't have many while I end up in a world with a bunch of those who are called heroes.'
Nezu kept his gaze on Naruto for a minute before he hopped off the bench. "He certainly is an interesting one. Let us see what you do as a student of UA."
~later, elsewhere~
Naruto wandered the city till he found another abandoned building to use. He looked up at the vacant office building that was going to be renovated on most of its levels. He figured that it would be the best place to do what he needed to do. Looking around, he saw that he was in the clear and snuck inside. Making sure that no one was inside, he made it to the 11th floor and saw that it was just concrete floors, pillars, some tarps, and buckets. He made his way in and sighed as he knew he was about to get an earful. He went through a few hand signs and slammed his hand onto the ground. "SUMMONING JUTSU!"
A large puff of smoke appeared where he slammed his hands before it cleared to show a large 8ft toad with orange skin and wearing a dark blue vest
Naruto smiled at the toad. "Hey, Gamakichi."
Gamakichi looked down at Naruto before he growled and hit the boy on the head. "Naruto, what the hell!? It's been over two months since you last reported in and the hag has been hounding us for any info on how you were doing!"
Naruto rubbed his head as he looked up at Gamakichi. "I'm sorry that I haven't summoned you to give my report on my well-being but nothing has changed during that time. But now I have a report to give Tsunade." he pulled out a scroll that had the details of what he was about to do in this world.
Gamakichi eyed the scroll before he opened his mouth and took the scroll with his tongue. After he had made sure that the scroll was secured he looked at Naruto expectantly.
Naruto sighed as he pressed two fingers on his upper arm where he had a storage seal placed and unsealed its contents: a large bag filled to the brim with candy. he mumbled to himself as he lifted the bag "I pay with candy for important reports to be delivered."
Gamakichi grabbed the bag and smiled as he had been waiting for this since the last time he was summoned. "Should I tell anyone in Konoha anything before they unseal the storage scroll?"
Naruto thought about it for a second before shaking his head. "There isn't anything in there that would shock them. I already know that Tsunade was pissed off at not being told to unseal it outside."
Gamakichi nodded as he slung the bag over his shoulder. "Well, make sure to summon me sooner. Konoha's been boring without you."
Naruto nodded and waved to the large toad. I'll be sure to do that ...oh and tell Kiba that if I hear about Akamaru digging up my garden again, I will send a shadow clone to kick his ass!"
Gamakichi chuckled at the memory of the last time Naruto sent a clone to punish the dog boy.
Akamaru was not fast enough to get away and both boy and dog were in the hospital for a week.
Naruto smiled as he waved bye to the toad again and saw him disappear in a puff of smoke. He then began to head out of the building as he thought about what he needed to do. "Guess it's time I finally get myself a place to actually call home…...well one that isn't condemned and rent-free. Let's see…." he then began to think about what he wanted. "If I can find a house, it's gotta have a large garden space, a large master bedroom for my pillow pile, and a guest room for storing my stuff." he then thought about if he would be able to find something like that in the city. "Well. better start searching." he found an alley to change into his vigilante attire before he began to scour the city for what he was looking for.
"Wonder how everyone back in Konoha will react to you going to school?"
~Konoha~
"DAMN IT! Shizune!"
The scream from Konoha's well-respected Hokage was heard by every villager in the Konoha.
Shizune tiredly walked into the office as she put several of the items she was looking at under her arm. "What is it, Lady Tsunade?" Shizune could see the furious glare her mentor had but knew that it wasn't directed at her, it was directed at the now broken item on the desk. "Lady Tsunade, this is the fourth one this month. You need to be more gentle with it."
Tsunade flared as she looked at the item. "I'll be gentle with it when I get the stupid thing to work faster!" She wanted to destroy it completely but she knew that if she did all the important documents on it would be lost. She found that out the hard way the first time around.
Shizune sighed again before she grabbed an item from under her arm and placed it on the desk. "Please try and make this laptop last longer."
The item that Tsunade destroyed was a laptop that her research department had recreated over the last couple of years. Tsunade had enjoyed the device as it helped manage many aspects of the Hokage job. However, there were times when she thought it to be agonizingly slow. Sometimes so slow that her temper was tested and oftentimes broken.
Tsunade took a deep breath as she leaned back in her chair before swiveling it to look out the window. The village has changed in the two years Naruto had ended up in that other world. At first, no one noticed that he had disappeared from the village, not because they didn't care but because it wasn't the first time they couldn't find the blonde when he was doing something on his own. It was the daughter of Anko Mitarashi: Asa, that first realized that he wasn't in the village. She had said, quote: "Woofy hasn't come to play with me in a long time." This brought up red flags to every one of the rookies since they all knew that Naruto would drop everything to play with the little girl, especially since he promised to always play with her at least every other day. And just when they were about to send out a search party to find the boy, a toad appeared in the Hokage office with a letter saying that he was in a place called Japan.
After a bunch of back and forth letter messaging, Naruto had told them that he was going to stay in the world for the time being. Tsunade was of course furious about this and had ordered Jiraiya to reverse summon the boy back into the village but the perverted sage had thought about this for a minute.
Jiraiya had said that it might be beneficial if Naruto stayed there for a while. This got him punched in the face hard by his teammate but he had quickly defended himself by saying that while he was in that world, the Akatsuki couldn't get to him. This still didn't deter Tsunade from wanting to bring him back but Jiraiya once again said that since they could bring him back at any time, they could deal with the group of rogue shinobi first and then bring him back. After arguing about it for a good while, it was Hiruzen that came in and brought up the idea of asking Naruto himself about this plan.
Naruto didn't see a problem with this since he could basically come back whenever. And, throughout the several days this was discussed with each other, he discovered the world he was now in was far more advanced technologically than Konoha was. So he began to….obtain some items he thought would help Tsunade.
Tsunade's R&D department had a field day with many of the items that were sent over. Cellphones, tablets, headphones, laptops, flatscreen TVs, game consoles, appliances, movies, and games. He even got his hands on schematics for security systems, factories, and designs of many different devices. It wasn't surprising since he had the stealth that surpassed even infiltration units.
He even sent in a car for the department. That was a very bad day for Tsunade who unsealed it in her office. She wanted to kill the blonde but he wasn't there for her to murder.
Naruto swore to always put a note on the seal saying if it should be unsealed outside. The letter he got back may have been on paper, but he could feel the anger in the words.
Since they were not the ones that created the things they chose not to change the names
Interestingly, they chose not to recreate the cars since after testing it out, they discovered fairly quickly how poor it made air quality and in the long run, it would be bad for a village in the middle of the forest. Though they did use it for concepts on mobile transportation on smaller scales.
Besides, the shinobi could make it to their destination on the rooftops and the civilians were content with just walking to where they needed to be in the village.
It was the next report from Naruto that showed them that it was already done with smaller personal vehicles such as skateboards or electric scooters.
The department was really interested in the drones that were sent as they found it intriguing to have a small flying object used for observing in high places or deliveries.
All in all, the village has advanced leaps and bounds thanks to this little mishap and Naruto would on occasion send in new things when they came out in japan for Konoha to mass-produce for the villagers.
If advancements are already being made by the world Naruto was in and he brought in the new product, they reaped the benefits of their hard work.
Hey, Japanese companies can't sue since there was no legal system that could cross worlds.
Tsunade was brought out of her thoughts when a large puff of smoke appeared in the middle of her office. She immediately knew who it was when she caught the rust color of the large toad. "Bout damn time the gaki reported back. How is he?"
Gamakichi opened his mouth and unrolled his tongue to reveal a scroll that Tsunade took. Once the scroll was delivered, he spoke. "He looked fine as usual. He didn't tell me much about what was going on this time but knowing him, he is still causing trouble for those 'heroes' that parade around the streets"
Tsunade sighed as she thought about the world that Naruto was in. "ending up in a world of comic books." she shook her head as another thought came to mind. "I'm surprised he hasn't started wearing a cape and posing. It does seem like the kind of thing he would do if he was extremely bored. Though his 'Vigilante' thing falls into that category." She looked to Shizune and spoke, "send a message to everyone and tell them to meet at the Uzumaki compound, if they aren't already there."
Shizune reached into her kimono and pulled out a cellphone before she began to create a message for the rookies and some other specific individuals. She wasn't really fast in texting but she was ok with it. After a minute she nodded to Tsunade and they left the office and began making their way to the compound that Naruto had built himself before he ended up in Japan.
Sakura was panting as she rested her hands on her knees as she had just finished another training session with her boyfriend. Once she caught her breath, she straightened herself before wincing and looking at her arm. "I still can't avoid all of them. But only getting ten or so on my arm does tell me that I am getting better. She began to pluck out the senbon from her arm before dropping them to the ground, causing them to shatter. She looked around her before her eyes landed on him. "So, should we call it a day and go see that movie Naruto sent back last time we heard from him? We weren't able to watch any of them because of missions and our responsibilities."
Sakura's boyfriend took a step forward and out of the ice mirror. He reached up to grab his Usagi Anbu mask and smiled. "That sounds wonderful, Sakura. I'm also free for the next few days so we can spend them any way you want."
Sakura gave a wistful smile as she shook her head. "Haku, tomorrow we are going to do the things you like. We already did everything I enjoy doing and a few things on my bucket list. It's your turn."
Haku had swapped his usual attire for an Anbu uniform as he had risen in rank quickly thanks to his training and Kekkei Genkai. His mask was that of a rabbit as he had requested it. One thing that was not standard for Anbu was a necklace that he wore around his neck that had a pink sakura petal that was reinforced with seals.
Sakura was wearing clothing that resembled what Haku used to wear. Though it was slimmed down, sleeveless, and ending at her hips. And instead of the baggy pants, Sakura wore a gray skirt with biker shorts underneath. The main color of her outfit was red with pink highlights, with a few accents being white. She let her hair grow out again but she now had it tied in a low ponytail. Her accessory was a necklace of a snowflake, also reinforced with seals
{Mayonaka no, utaga sakenda, Boku hontou wa ano hi kara zutto}
The two paused and looked to where they left some of their things to see that Sakura's cellphone was telling her she had a notification.
Sakura sighed as she made her way to their things. "When you start to plan things, someone somewhere wants to get in the way." she picked up her phone and went to her notifications
Haku followed her as he sympathetically patted her shoulder. "I'm sure that they aren't doing it on purpose."
"Oh, I'm sure he is." She turned around to look up at Haku with a smirk on her face. "The knucklehead finally reported back and Lady Tsunade wants us to gather at the compound so we can all hear what he has to say this time around."
Haku smiled at the mention of Naruto. "It has been a while since we heard from him."
Sakura nodded as she picked up a small pack and slung it around her shoulder and put her phone in it. "Well, let's head home. We can get cleaned up before everyone arrives."
Haku nodded as he picked up a secondary weapons pouch and attached it to his belt.
The two then shunshined away to get home.
Neji was leaning against a wall, reading a book that he had gotten interested in.
Next to him was Tenten as she twirled a kunai on her finger. So what was the plan for the day?"
"We were supposed to head to the missions office to see if there is a mission we can take." he turned the page as he spoke to his teammate
Tenten tossed her kunai into the air and looked at him. "So why aren't we doing that? You're a jonin and you could take a mission on your own, you know."
Neji sighed as he knew he could but. "Gai sensei asked for my presence for this training session, so I chose to oblige him."
Tenten rolled her eyes as she reached her hand out to the side and caught the kunai she threw. "More like Gai sensei dragged you here, saying you were lacking….." she gulped as she forced herself to finish her sentence. "... youth." she shuddered as she said the word that she had gotten tired of years ago.
Neji continued to read his book as he sweatdropped at her correct assumption. "I hold the right to my silence." he then heard some rumbling and sighed as he put his book away. He then pushed off the wall "ready?"
Tenten nodded as she put away the kunai and pulled out something else.
The two watched as a large dust cloud made its way in their direction.
Neji activated his Byakugan and focused as hard as he could while Tenten raised the item in the air.
Once the dust cloud made it to them, Tenten dropped her arm as Neji followed what was making the dust cloud
Neji deactivated his dojutsu as he sighed. "Once again, Gai sensei came in first but Lee was closer this time."
From the cloud came the two green-clad shinobi, Lee and Might Gai.
Gai stood proudly as he patted Lee on the shoulder. "Your youth shines brightly once again, Lee. one day your youth will shine so rightly that even our friend in the other world will see it."
Lee had crocodile tears fall as he looked out to the horizon. "YES! I will shine so bright that my friend Naruto will know we still think of him."
Tenten walked up to them and bonked them both on the head. She showed the item in her hand to be a stopwatch with the recorded time. "You guys also beat your last record. But speaking of Naruto, we got a message saying that he finally sent in a report for all of us so we should head back to the compound so we can see what the knucklehead is up to."
Gai brought a fist as he shouted out. "YES! LET'S GO EVERYONE AND SEE HOW OUR FRIEND'S YOUTH HAS CHANGED THE WORLD OF HEROES!" at that he ran off towards the compound with Lee not that far behind
Neji rubbed his temples as he asked Tenten. "Any word on the improvements?"
Said girl sighed as she shook her head. "They are still trying to find a way for it to handle the amount of speed we shinobi go at. And they need to reinforce it to handle the amount of force Gai and Lee give off."
Neji nodded in understanding. "Sending us a treadmill for exercise was a good idea. If only those two didn't destroy every version the research department tried to make."
Tsume and Hana were walking through the Uzumaki compound towards their son's room. They both allowed him to move into the compound years ago as they knew that it was to be part of what he considered his pack, also known as the rookies. Thing was that ever since Naruto sent a few of the entertainment devices to their world, Kiba had taken a liking to one of them. Sure he still trained and went off on missions but he found another way to pass the time.
They made it to his door and already heard him
"Damn it! Come on, come on!
*WOOF*
"I know, Akamaru. But the bastard won't let up!"
Tsume used her foot to gently open the sliding door and glare at her son, who was playing a video game on the tv he had. She knew that when Kiba played his games, it would almost be impossible to get his attention. But as his mother, she knew just what to do.
Hana whistled Akamaru over which the large white dog obliged and began to lead him over to the compound courtyard along with her own ninken partners. And Tsume's partner chose to follow them as he knew Tsume could handle this,
Kiba was shifting the controller all around him in conjunction with his character's movement. "Finally! All I need to do is kill this last guy and then…"
His excitement died when five kunai went through the screen of his tv, destroying it.
"NO!" he spun around glaring at who had done it but his glare dropped as he saw his mother standing there. But he was still agitated "mom!? What the hell!?"
Tsume glared at her son as she pointed at the phone that was on the ground next to Kiba. "you've gotten a notice telling you that we finally got a message from Naruto and here you are wasting time playing that thing."
Kiba looked at his phone to see it flashing, picked it up, and saw that he had gotten a message. "Damn, I didn't hear it." He looked back to his tv and felt his annoyance grow but before he could say anything to his mother, she had grabbed his ear and started pulling him out of the room. "Argh! What the hell mom!? Let go!"
"Not a chance. Everyone is gathering under the sakura tree to see what the pup has to say this time."
Kiba unwillingly followed his mother as he thought to himself. 'How many missions am I going to have to do to buy a new one?'
Ino was walking through the streets of Konoha with a big smile on her face as she had been enjoying her date and her partner seemed to be just as happy with it. Though, her mood was interrupted when she heard her phone go off, telling her that she got a message from Shizune. Knowing that when she got a message from Shizune, it is most likely from Tsunade and it could be important. Pulling it out, her grumpy look turned into a smile as she saw what it said. "About time we hear from him again. Though I wish he chose another time to do it." she looked to her partner "well ready?"
Hinata put her phone away before looking at Ino and nodded. "It would be nice to see what he has been up to and I am glad to hear that he is still safe."
Ino rolled her eyes as she thought about Naruto and the word "safe. "Oh, I'm sure the idiot got himself in some sort of trouble."
"Ino, be nice."
Ino smiled as she saw her girlfriend give her a cute put. "I'll be nice when he sends me the key to the room that held onto all the random clothes he bought for his pranks. I know he has some dresses in there that he hadn't used on someone and I know there are a bunch of them that you would look cute in." she gave a teasing smirk before kissing Hinata on the cheek causing the Hyuga girl to blush.
Ino and Hinata are childhood friends with Naruto and were his support when he had many issues to deal with back in the village. As they became Genin. Ino and Hinata started to realize that despite how they were friends, the two girls felt more attached to each other.
It was Naruto that pushed them to get together with the simple act of grabbing their heads and forcing them to kiss each other. They both melted into each other before they broke apart
Despite gaining confidence when training with Naruto, she still felt too timid to say anything to Ino, especially since this was something that was frowned upon as well as being the clan heiress.
Ino had similar reservations since she was also the heiress to a well-known clan and she knew her father would have a heart attack if he found out.
Naruto, not being one to care much about Konoha's residence negative opinions, forced the two to confess and told them. "If one of you were to die without ever seeing where this could go, then you will be hurting the other in ways you could not imagine. Do you want to do that to the one you care about the most?"
Ino called him the "bluntest cupid ever"
The two knew that they needed to head to the compound and had to cut their date short before they started making their way back.
Shikamaru was woken up by his friend shaking him a bit. Turning his head he looked at Choji and asked "what's up?"
Choji brought up his phone with his free hand since the other had a bag of chips in it. "We got a message from Shizune. She says we're all supposed to head back to the compound."
Shikamaru turned his head back and closed his eyes. "Why?" he was about to get a bit more rest till he heard Choji's next words
"Naruto sent in another report."
Shikamaru sighed as he got to his feet. "Damn troublesome blondes." He knew that when Naruto sends in a report, Tsunade demands everyone to be present. She didn't need to since Naruto was a friend. He began to walk towards the compound with Choji following.
~Uzumaki compound~
The first to arrive was Team Gai as Gai and Lee had been rushing at the fastest pace they could.
Neji and Tenten just did their best to keep up.
They began making their way to where the sakura tree was as it was where the group usually held their meetings.
"I shouldn't be surprised that you guys got here so fast."
The team looked to the side to see Anko walking towards them with her 6-year-old adoptive daughter: Asa Mitarashi. With them was Hanabi Hyuga, and Tayuya.
Asa was a little girl who was kidnapped by bandits that had raided her home and taken her family hostage along with many others. She was rescued by Anko and Naruto as they were sent out to handle the bandits. Unfortunately, they were not fast enough to save her family so she was left an orphan. The shinobi found out that the village that she came from was destroyed by the bandits so they chose to take her back to Konoha. Being Asa's savors, she became attached to the two and Anko chose to take her in. It wasn't long after that Asa began to see Anko as a mother figure and had asked if Anko could be her mother. Anko immediately agreed as she had also grown attached to her.
Naruto became the older brother that she never had and he spoiled her every chance he got. He even made her a six-tailed fox plushie which she slept with every time she missed him.
That plushie was where he put his vanity.
Hanabi became Asa's best friend after they met each other and Asa grew attached to the little Hyuga girl, calling her "dolly", since Hanabi looked like a doll.
Tayuya was a prisoner of the fake retrieval mission. She had her chakra sealed and curse mark restrained so she could do nothing to retaliate. She now lived in the village as a civilian under constant watch to make sure she didn't do anything and spent her time as a music performer at the park, which gained her the adoration of the children
Tenten smiled at the group and asked "another play date at the park?"
Anko smiled as she picked her daughter up. "I had the day off so why not? But when we got the message that the gaki finally sent back a message, Asa couldn't drag us back faster."
Tayuya huffed as she crossed her arms. "I don't even know why I'm here. I never even met the kid." She turned to look at Asa who was on Anko's shoulders and started to lose her bravado when the little girl gave her a sad teary look. She slumped as she just began to walk towards the meeting place. She had a soft spot for kids and Asa was growing to be her favorite. Also, she knew Anko would murder her if she made Asa cry
Anko looked up and smiled at the happy look Asa had. She hated it when Asa cried
As they went further into the compound they were stopped by the harsh opening of the door right next to them. Standing at the door frame was a frazzled-looking Karin as she chose to drop her seal analysis to join everyone else. She slid the door harshly and walked past everyone and went in the direction they were heading
No one said anything since they knew that when Karin got like this, it meant that she had spent a lot of time in the "Seals testing" room.
Karin gained income selling the seals that were made in the Seals testing room but a majority of the best seals were ones that Naruto made and she was given permission to mass-produce them to sell in shops. But Karin, not wanting to be outdone by a younger Uzumaki, made it her goal to at least make a seal that was better than what Naruto has. So far she has had no success. Especially with the ones that can be used for dust removal and storage. She was close but still just falling short
The group then made their way to the meeting area with Team Gai, surprised to see that Kiba, Tsume, Hana, and their ninken partners were already there.
Kiba was rubbing his ear as he saw the group arrive. "Hey, guys. You get the message too?"
Tenten rolled her eyes. "We all got the message. Everyone else should be arriving here soon. How can Temari stand you, Kiba?"
Tsume and Hana chuckled with the canines barking in laughter.
Tsume looked at Tenten and said, "I ask myself the same thing."
"HEY!"
"Looks like this meeting is already going to be troublesome."
The group looked over to see the rest of the rookies arriving as well as their senseis
Gai looked at Kakashi with a smile on his face. "Kakashi, my youthful rival. It is good to see that your flames of youth when hearing from your student burns the brightest they have ever been!"
In typical Kakashi fashion, he looked up from his book and asked "huh? Did you say something, Gai?"
Gai fell to his knees as he cried crocodile tears. "Curse you and your hip attitude, Kakashi!"
It was then that the Hokage and Shizune arrived with a couple of extras.
Jiraiya was wincing in pain as Tsunade had been pulling him by the ear from the hot springs to the compound…...which was halfway across the village.
Standing by Shizune's side was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the retired third Hokage. By his side was Konohamaru as he had been the one to tell Hiruzen about the meeting since he ran into Tsunade on the road and ran off to get his grandfather.
Behind them were Ayame and Iruka.
Iruka had gotten the message and immediately put away all the papers he was looking over and ran off to be at the meeting place. He was not going to miss out on hearing from his old student
Ayame was close to not being able to make it since it was the middle of the lunch run and the stand had a bunch of customers. But Teuchi had told her that he can handle it since he knew that Ayame wanted to hear from Naruto. Teuchi told her that he wanted to hear every detail about what Naruto had been up to and that he would be sending a bowl of ramen for the next time they send Naruto supplies.
Tsunade looked around at the group to make sure that no one was missing. But just to make sure she asked. "Is everyone here?"
Choji looked around before he pointed out. "Wait, we're missing Shino."
Hinata and Kiba sweatdropped upon hearing this with the Hyuga girl raising a hand "actually…" She then pointed to the sakura tree. "He was already here when we arrived."
From behind the tree came Shino with a depressing aura over him. "I had been here the whole time."
Everyone sweatdropped at the depressed Aburame while most of them thought
'We didn't even know he was there.'
The group all gathered under the sakura tree as Tsunade brought out the scroll. "Alright let's see what kind of trouble Naruto has gotten into now."
Kiba petted Akamaru as he spoke up. "Hope he sends in something new. That place has a bunch of cool stuff."
Karin adjusted her glasses as she glared at the Inuzuka. "More like you want him to send in some new game that you will play late in the night. You seriously have to pull back in how much you play."
Kiba growled as he laid on the ground. "I get that enough from mom. I don't need you to tell me the same thing."
"Would you rather I tell Temari about you overplaying."
Kiba shot up and shouted at the female "don't you dare!"
She glared back "then stop playing so damn late!"
As those two were arguing, Ino looked at Sakura who was sitting next to her, and stated. "It's too bad Sasuke couldn't be here to hear from Naruto."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "It's his own fault for taking the long-term mission to spy on Orochimaru. heck, when he finally finishes his mission and comes back, he will most likely be shocked by all the stuff that happened here."
Haku nodded in agreement with his girlfriend. "It would be shocking to see your home change so much in such a short amount of time. I still recall Zabuza's shock when he saw several of the new devices in Konoha."
Ino giggled as she had a thought. "I think it would be funny if he was so shocked he fainted."
Hinata taped Ino's shoulder. "Be nice, Ino. he is working hard for the village."
"Yeah, but he is missing out on all this cool stuff. And Naruto is in the middle of it all."
Ayame looked to Shino who had cheered up…..well, for an Aburame. "So have you heard back from Fuu?"
Shino nodded as he looked at Ayame. "The last I heard of her, she said that she was exploring the smaller villages in the land of fire. She said she will be heading our way within the month so we can meet again."
"ENOUGH!"
Everyone stiffened and sat back down when Tsunade shouted at them
Tsunade sighed as she unrolled the scroll and began to give a summary of the report as repeating the whole thing would be tedious. "Looks like there are a few new heroes that showed up. One of the most noticeable is some woman called Mt. Lady, who can enlarge herself, much like the Akimichi's expansion jutsu."
Choji was interested in this since he didn't think that one of those "quirks" could replicate some of their clan jutsu. "Wow, I didn't think there would be ones that could copy our jutsu. That world is crazy."
Shikamaru sighed. "Sounds far more troublesome than ours."
Tsunade continued. "It also looks like he will be finding a place for himself instead of finding random buildings to sleep in."
Tenten nodded as she crossed her arms. "About time. I get that we are shinobi and we were trained to handle tough times but not once has he found himself a place. Fox or not, that's pushing it."
Ino waved her hand dismissively "he just prefers to sleep in open spaces while in his fox form so crashing in random places doesn't seem out of character for him. He is the most adaptable out of all of us."
Tsunade kept reading and summarizing the scroll. "That hot head Endeavor still wants to roast him into ash so no change there. Looks like it is the same thing after all this time. Though he did say that he needs new equipment and a new outfit sometime in the next couple weeks." She kept going through the miscellaneous stuff till she reached the last part and quirked an eyebrow as there was a storage seal before the last section. Seeing that there was no note saying that she should get some space, she unsealed its contents. She smiled as she saw that it was sake from the world he was in. thought her smile died when she realized that this was a bribe. "gaki must be about to tell me that he did something really stupid."
Jiraiya chuckled as he thought about what his student could be about to do if he sent sake to Tsunade. "It can't be that bad."
Kakashi nodded as he looked up. "Nothing he could do would cause him to send a peace offering to Tsunade."
The entire group nodded in agreement to that as they all knew that Naruto had no fear when it came to authority figures. Not even the Hokage.
Despite being a shinobi of Konoha, Naruto had no real obligation in protecting the village as he had very little care for the villagers that had shunned or hurt him. It's one of the reasons why he is staying in that world. Sure it was a good way to avoid facing the Akatsuki but Naruto just thought that this was a vacation from the village. He did keep in touch with them but only with the people he cared about.
And in his eyes, he doesn't see Tsunade as his Hokage, he sees her as a pseudo mother figure.
And the group sitting under that sakura tree understood that. Especially since it was the villagers' fault he was a bijuu in the first place
Tsunade put the bottle down and chose to read the next part out loud so everyone could hear it. "So, you may be wondering why I sent you a bottle of Sake. Well, it's because something was offered to me. Something I think might give you such a shock."
Now everyone was interested as this was the first time they heard that Naruto was offered anything since he made sure that no one could catch him.
"I was offered a place in a well-known facility and after thinking about it for a night, I decided to accept it. So in about a month's time, I will be attending the most famous school: U.A academy as one of its students."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"NARUTO IS WILLINGLY GOING TO SCHOOL?!"
Many of them started to begin shouting out their disbelief and thinking that the end was near
Iruka fainted from shock
Jiraiya was trying to dispel the genjutsu he thought he was in
Kakashi grabbed the scroll and used his Sharingan to see if there was a genjutsu on it or if it was really written by Naruto
Tsunade rubbed her temples because of the shouting that was happening around her. She now knew what the bottle of Sake was for. She grabbed it and chugged down the contents.
It was meant for the headache she was getting
End of chapter
Ok sorry for the odd chapter but in one of my other fics I kept getting reviews saying "what's going on in Konoha?" so this is to show that Konoha is still alive and they are still moving on
the song used for Sakura's cellphone was Naruto Shippuden ending 16, Midnight orchestra
The Konoha part was a lot longer than I thought it was going to be
I also wanted to show that Naruto can go back whenever he wants but he doesn't want to. This is not to say that Naruto will go back and all that. It just shows that Naruto has chosen to stay
I don't know about the meeting with Nezu. I will most likely go back and fix a bunch of things
I hope you guys are ok with it
The next chapter will be time-skipping to the entrance exam and the meeting of the two main characters
also, I realized that in transferring the document into Fanfic docs, some words disappear. so I will be going back to fix that. don't know why it does that but it is irritating.
also, I want to reiterate the MAX is three and only three. If I do make this a multi-pairing, I AM NOT throwing every girl at him. I just want to make everyone understand that it is not my intention to make a lemon fic or smut. I get paranoid that people will think that.
