Naruto no Se-Ta
Summary: Title can be translated as Naruto the Jumper. When Naruto was five, he was attacked by the villagers of Konoha. Wishing to escape from it, Naruto suddenly appeared back in his house. Read, as Naruto learns to control this new power. But will it be his power? Or his downfall.
It seems like a lot of people like this story. So I'll make another chapter, and we'll see how it goes from there.
The poll.
All OC (Except one, because the third "Jumper" is clear right now, well maybe not but, kind of) - 2
All Kishimoto's characters. (Except the lands that don't have any of Kishimoto's characters in them. Like Zylex, and a "Jumper" in the Land of Lightning. - 1
The author should do what he wants, or "I don't care". - 0
As for pairings, I unintentionally turns this into a harem pairing. (In my mind, not the story) But it's not definite. Like I said, we'll see how it goes from there.
I know it'll either be a Naruto X Female Haku pairing, or it'll be a Naruto X Harem pairing with a female Haku in it.
Oh yeah, a reviewer, (To be more specific, TheWatcherandReader) told me that Naruto no Se-Ta is translated as Naruto of the Jumper. Which doesn't exactly fit his "Jumper" status.
But I came up with a new title, but I don't know which to pick. So I'll leave it to you guys/
The new title?: Naruto, Sono Janpaa. Which translates as Naruto, The Jumper. The only thing I don't like about it, is the fact that it has Janpaa in the name, which is how a Japanese person would read it I guess. Like...Closer, would be read as Kuroosa by a Japanese person. But again, it's your guy's choice. - 0
The old title: Naruto no Se-Ta. And like I said, the only thing I don't like about it, is the fact that it could be translated as Naruto the Jumper...I think, but literally translates to Naruto of the Jumper. - 0
I know I should be the one making the fiction, but I just really don't know what to pick.
And one more thing, In the last chapter, I stated that the last "Jumper" will be able "Jump" to different dimensions. I figured, I might get side tracked with that a bit, and changed it to how the last "Jumper" can Jump through time. I have a reason for that for doing that by the way. (SPOILER! SPOILER!) And it sounds more badass.
Anyway, onto the story.
"Me? I'm Uzumaki Naruto. Next person to travel the world, and the next Kage of the Village hidden in the Leaves. Nice to meet you." Naruto said, holding out his hand. Haku smiled, but then stared at his hand in curiosity. Then Naruto became confused.
"Uh, Haku-chan, you shake it you know. It's a form of greeting." She turned more red.
'I-it is? Sorry, I didn't know..." She looked down at the ground in embarrassment.
What the...why would she not know? Naruto thought to himself, but dismissed it. It was silent, but it didn't feel awkward.
"Naruto-kun..." Haku started. Naruto's face turned into a mixture of confusion, and wonder. No one really added the "Kun" honorific to his name before, well except the old man, but that was it.
"Hmm?"
"Shouldn't you get home soon? Your parents must be worried." She herself sounded worried actually.
"Hmm? Ah my parents. Well...I don't have any." Naruto bluntly stated.
"Oh...I'm really sorry." She replied.
"Nah it's okay. I get it a lot. So I'm used to it, but how about your parents? Aren't they worried?" Naruto asked. She didn't reply. Naruto could tell that something happened.
"Ah Haku-chan, you don't have to say if you don't want to, I mean..." Naruto trailed off.
"I don't have any parents either..."She said.
"Oh...I guess it's my time to apologize I guess." Naruto rubbed the back of his head feeling somewhat awkward. Although Naruto had the oddest feeling that wasn't the complete truth. But there had to be a reason why Haku hesitated for a second, so he didn't want to press any further.
"Naruto-kun, if you don't have any parents, how are you getting around?" She asked.
"Wait, that's my question Haku-chan. How are you getting around?" Naruto shot back.
"No I asked first."
"Yeah but I thought about it first."
This went on for a good ten minutes before Naruto gave up.
"Ah fine. Well I'm traveling. So I'm not really from around here." Naruto said.
"But you're only like my age. How are you able to get around so easily?" Haku asked.
"Well, I have my ways." He replied smugly.
"Now how about you Haku-chan? How about you." He asked.
"This...well that is my home." She said, pointing to a small ragged tent about ten feet from them. Naruto's eyes widened.
"There?" He asked again to make sure. She nodded. Naruto began to think. How could a girl like her live in such conditions? He couldn't just do nothing right?
"Haku-chan, this isn't how a lady like yourself is supposed to live." Naruto seriously said.
"But...I have no where else to live."
"Well that's going to be fixed. From now on, you're living with me." Naruto said pointing his thumb at himself.
"Huh?" She blushed slightly. Naruto then blushed himself, he didn't mean for it to sound like that.
"Eh...ah...I meant that you should come with me, and travel." He fixed.
"Oh,oh! On one condition." Naruto smiled.
"Sure what's that."
"If you'll be my friend." She replied.
"Eh? I thought we were already friends..." Naruto said confused. At this moment, Haku's head popped up with a cute smile. She then did something he never expected her to do, or anyone would do for that matter. She tackled him, and trapped him in a bear hug. Naruto's eyes widened, but he did what his instinct told him to do, he rubbed her head, and smiled.
It was night time, and Naruto, and Haku were sitting around a campfire in a forest they had found.
"Wow, the fire feels so nice..." Haku said with a smile. Naruto smiled as well. It was silent, except for the sound of the roaring fire. Until Naruto broke the silence.
"Hey Haku-chan, am I your first friend? Back then, it just seemed like you were so happy that we were friends..." Naruto smiled at the scene that just unfolded a hour or so ago. Haku didn't respond, but she smiled at Naruto, and nodded enthusiastically. Naruto smiled back at her.
"That's what I thought..." It was silent again.
"You know, I was really happy too." This caught Haku's attention.
"I...before today, I've never had a single friend my age. And that really makes me happy." He said with a smile. This made Haku flush, and she looked at the ground. It was silent again, and Naruto yawned , and then stretched.
"I think it's time we get some sleep." Suggested Naruto. He started to set up his sleeping bag, until realization struck him. He had only one sleeping bag. Naruto paced back, and forth a few times.
I could just share the sleeping bag with Haku-chan, but it's not natural for a boy, and a girl to sleep together unless they're...married...AH! What should I do...? Naruto thought to himself. Naruto then abruptly sighed.
"Hey Haku-chan, I only have one sleeping bag, so why don't you take it, and I'll sleep on the ground, or something." Naruto said, getting ready to lie down on the ground.
"No!" She yelled.
"Eh?" Said Naruto confused.
"You're not going to sleep on the ground!" She ordered. All the while blushing.
"But it's not natural for a boy, and a girl to sleep together!" Naruto explained, waving his hands in front of him.
"I know that! But you're the one taking care of me, so the least I can do is let you sleep where you need to!"
"But-" He was cut off.
"No buts!" She ordered. She walked over to the sleeping bag, and laid in it. Once comfortable, she motioned for Naruto to come.
"Uh..." Naruto rubbed the back of his head.
"I just remembered! I have to...go hunt!" Naruto walked backward at an exit out of their campsite, but Haku threw a rock at him.
"Get. In. The. Sleeping. Bag." She ordered once again. Naruto attempted to make up another excuse, but it was futile. He then sighed. And walked over to the sleeping bag. But very slowly.
About five minutes later, Naruto reached the sleeping bad and got in it. Once comfortable, Naruto, and Haku's eyes met each other. They both turned red, and turned to the opposite of where they originally looked.
"G-Good night Haku-Chan..." Naruto said before attempting to sleep.
"Good...Night, Naruto-kun..." Replied Haku. Haku actually went to sleep though, unlike Naruto,
But even though Naruto said "Good Night", Naruto couldn't have a "Good Night" at all. Mostly because Haku wasn't exactly a "Still" sleeper.POW! Naruto rubbed his cheek for the umpteenth time in the last fifteen minutes. Naruto grumbled as another attack hit him. Naruto had to admit, Haku was cute, but she sucks at sleeping still...
All of a sudden, Naruto felt another blow. But it wasn't on his body. Naruto looked down towards his waist, to see Haku's knee right there. At first he didn't feel anything. Granted, he couldn't breathe either at the time, because of the blow. Naruto then suddenly had the sudden urge to let out a painful scream. But he couldn't wake up Haku. So he did the reasonable thing. He held it in.
Naruto had his eyes closed for a minute, and the pain started to subside. Until Haku hit him again in the same spot.
Ah damn it! Naruto yelled in his head, before he "Jumped" to his apartment back in Konoha.
Naruto inhaled loudly, and suddenly let out a huge scream which woke some people.
"Oh crap." Naruto said to himself as he heard someone come to his door. Not wanting to get in trouble, Naruto "Jumped" back to his, and Haku's "Campsite". He sighed in relief. But the looked over to the still sleeping Haku. Then he sweat dropped.
"Now how am I going to sleep tonight...?" Naruto asked to himself. He closed his eyes, and put his hand up to his chin in a thinking position.
Silence ensued once again.
"...This doesn't work at all! I thought this was supposed to make me smarter!" Naruto softly yelled to himself. But he was still in thought. Suddenly Naruto got an idea. It was so great, that if people could see imaginary things, a light bulb would be visible above Naruto's head.
Naruto slipped into the sleeping bag, and positioned himself correctly. Haku's fist came out of nowhere, and hit Naruto clearly in the forehead. Effectively, knocking him out. Okay, it wasn't exactly the best idea our favorite blond ever thought of, but it got the job done right?
The next morning, Naruto woke up first, and had a terrible head ache. Probably because of how he fell asleep last night. Naruto crawled out of the sleeping bag, and looked at the sky, then yawned.
"Hmm...if me, and Haku are going to stay here for a while, I need to buy some ingredients so we can actually sustain ourselves." Naruto said, before leaving a note written on the ground in dirt, and running off.
Even though it was somewhat early in the morning, most of the stores were still open. (1)Naruto inspected each of the stores, and slowly came into realization.
"...I don't know how to cook..." Naruto sad sadly, with anime-like tears going down his cheeks.
"Oh well, guess I'll have to buy instant ramen." Naruto said before walking into a store. He promised the old man he wouldn't of spent the money he leant him on a ramen buffet. But this wasn't necessarily a ramen buffet, and he was buying for someone else. So Naruto could bend, and twist the rules this time.
Inside the store, Naruto didn't buy huge packs of instant ramen, because they wouldn't have enough room to store them anyway. Naruto browsed eagerly through the aisle, until something caught his eye. It was a pink box with the words "POCKY" on it. Naruto stared intently at it with puppy dog eyes.
"What the heck is Pocky?" Naruto asked himself. He shrugged, and thought that it really wasn't a good idea to eat the same food for years on end, so he took two boxes. The rest was just instant ramen. Twelve bowls to be exact. Four ramen bowls with shrimp flavor. Four ramen bowls with beef flavor. And four ramen bowls with chicken flavor. And because he didn't want to spend so much money, he bought a bucket to warm up the water that would be used to cook the ramen.
Naruto paid, and needed another distraction.
"Hey look! A komodo dragon, but is actually a distraction!" Naruto yelled, pointing an accusing finger behind the clerk. The man turned around, and this gave Naruto the time to "Jump" away.
Naruto made sure his "Jump" site was fairly far away from their campsite, so Haku doesn't find out about his ability.
Arriving at their campsite, Haku was still sleeping, and Naruto couldn't help but wonder:
"Does she always sleep this much?"
But he dismissed it, and set up a fire, and decided to get some water while the fire was starting up. He went to a stream close to their campsite, and filled up the bucket with fresh water, not to mention taking a nice drink from the stream as well. Once Naruto returned to the campsite, the fire had turned into a nice, bigger one. He grabbed a thick, but light stick and set it through the bucket handle, and set the bucket, along with the stick over the fire, so over a period of time, the water would eventually boil. The only inconvenience, was that the water would take twice as long to boil. This annoyed Naruto quite a bit, because the only thing he hated more than the three minutes it takes to cook ramen, was the five minutes it took to boil water.
Naruto didn't like it, but he waited until the water had boiled, and set up four bowls to be eaten.
Even three more minutes later, the ramen was finished, and Naruto was drooling. It amazed Naruto how much he wanted ramen at the time, but what amazed him even more, was that Haku was still asleep. Deciding to wake her up, Naruto placed a bowl of chicken ramen right next to her nose, and stared. She fumbled in her sleep, and fumbled again. Until she woke up mumbling slightly.
Her appearance caused Naruto to slightly blush, as she had slightly ruffled hair she gained while sleeping, and at the angle Naruto was looking at her, the sun was shining light at her in a way that made her look really cute.
"O-Ohayo(2), Haku-chan." Said Naruto smiling. She blinked a few times, then looked at Naruto.
"Ohayo...Naruto-kun." She smiled cutely, and rubbed the back of her head while sticking her tongue out of her mouth. Which made her look very cute.
"Hehe, I forgot I was living with Naruto-kun." Naruto put on a mockingly distraught face.
"Hey, hey! Am I that forgettable? Thanks a lot Haku-chan." Naruto pouted.
"Naruto-kun...I didn't mean it like that..." She pouted back.
"Yeah, I was just messing with ya." Naruto chuckled a bit.
"I went shopping while you were asleep ya know. By the way, you sleep a lot." Naruto mentioned.
"I don't really know how to cook, and I'm pretty sure you didn't know how to either, so I got us some instant ramen. My favorite by the way." The answer he got back would shock Naruto for the rest of the next minute.
"What's ramen...?" She asked. Naruto put on a blank face, and stepped back one step overdramatically.
"You...don't know what ramen is?" He asked,
What came next, was hours of explaining the history of ramen to Haku. From how it was accidentally made, to how someone accidentally added ingredients to it, and finally, how it accidentally fell into someone's mouth.
Fortunately, for Haku, she fell asleep after eating her ramen. Needless to say, she didn't pay attention at all.
And unfortunately, Naruto's history lesson had lasted until night time. To the point where Naruto even nodded off.
(3)
Naruto mumbled in his sleep, and suddenly, had to go to the bathroom. Still half-asleep, Naruto unconsciously thought about his bathroom at home. And before he knew it, Naruto accidentally "Jumped" there. Unfortunately, our blond hero had "Jumped" above the toilet. Resulting in a huge splash, followed by Naruto's voice saying "Ah!".
"Ah! What the hell!?" Naruto yelled. Coughing every now, and then because of the toilet water.
"I don't see how dogs have cleaner tongues then humans when they drink this crap all the time!" Naruto stuck his tongue out in disgust. It took a minute before Naruto calmed himself down, and begun to relieve himself. A flush was heard a few seconds later.
"Okay, so why am I back at home again?" Naruto asked himself, sitting with a thinking position.
"Ah, maybe I just thought of my home while I was sleeping, or something." Naruto concluded.
"I better get back before Haku wakes up." Naruto said, but before he could "Jump", he heard some commotion outside.
"Maybe I should check it out." Naruto said to himself, before opening the door, and heading down the stairs.
Outside, he could see some pupil less ninja running around yelling about something that seemed like "Where is she?", and "Did you find her?", and also "She got kidnapped!".
"By the sounds of it, there's a girl missing, people are trying to find her, and I don't know what the hell "Kidnapped" means, but it has the word kid, so they have to find a kid! So...there's a hide, and go seek game going on!" Naruto concluded.
Somewhere, a person face-palmed.
"I want to play!" Naruto ran off trying to find the girl who was the only that wasn't found.
A cute young girl wearing a kimono was being carried quite roughly by a older, rough looking man. She tried getting out of her kidnapper's grip, but it was futile. She started to cry, as she didn't even know what was going to happen to her. Until she heard a voice.
"Hey!"
She looked up from the ground to see the kidnapper had stopped, and a boy no older than her standing in front of them.
"What do you want kid?" The kidnapper said.
"I was hoping I could play!" Naruto had his puppy dog eyes on. But his question confused the kidnapper.
"What game?" He asked.
"You know! That girl right there," Naruto pointed at her.
"She's hiding, and everyone has to find her. you know! Hide n' go seek!" This caused the girl, and the kidnapper to sweat drop.
Somewhere, the same person face-palmed them self.
"You idiot! This isn't a game of hide n' go seek!" This time, it was Naruto's turn to be confused.
"Then what are you guys playing?"
"I'm kidnapping her!"
"Uh...what's that?" Naruto asked scratching his head. The sweat drops on the girl, and the kidnappers had enlarged.
The same person once again face-palmed them self.
"It's where I forcefully take the girl." He pointed at her.
"And take her away from her home." He explained very slowly.
"Oh...so...you're taking her away?" Naruto asked.
"Yes...that's what "Kidnapping" means..." The kidnapper was clearly annoyed with Naruto.
"Ah. So that's what kidnapping is." If possible, their sweat drops got even bigger.
The mysterious person didn't face palm them self, but slammed their head on a nearby table.
"Wait, then you're doing bad stuff then right!?" he pointed an accusing finger at him.
"Yes..." He dryly responded.
"Well if that's the case, then I have to stop you!" Naruto yelled. The kidnapper put the girl down, and got into a fighting stance.
"What can a kid like you do to someone like me?" The kidnapper asked. Naruto growled, but knew he was right. He had never really had more than two minutes of experience of "Jumping" in battle. Thinking quickly, Naruto conjured up a simple plan, and decided to just go for it. And with that, Naruto ran towards the kidnapper, with a fist raised high. It seemed like Naruto was trying to have a fist fight, but when the kidnapper began to swing his fist at Naruto, Naruto lowered his fist, and "Jumped" behind him. Leaving the kidnapper stumbling, and then falling. He was now right next to the girl, and checked up on her.
"Hey, you okay?" He asked, in a calming voice. The girl looked up, and Naruto couldn't help but think how cute she was. She nodded.
"Okay, be good, and stay here, I'll be right back." He said. Before running towards the kidnapper. Of course, his tackle didn't do any effect, so Naruto quickly "Jumped" the kidnapper to the Land of Snow. In a split second, the two had rolled down a hill of snow, and slowly stopped when they reached a flat surface. Naruto was the first to get up.
"Hey, it's not nice to kidnap little girls." Naruto said staring at the kidnapper, who in turn looked back at him.
"See ya." Naruto "Jumped" back to the girl, leaving the kidnapper freezing in the Land of Snow.
The girl, did as naruto told her to, She stayed where she was. She wasn't that scared, but the way Naruto just appeared out of thin air in front of her, killed a bit of her on the inside. He smiled at her.
"Hey there." Naruto said. She blushed lightly, and smiled back.
"Hey, what's your name." Naruto asked.
"Oh...ah H-hyuuga Hinata." She responded.
"T-thank y-you for s-saving me." She bowed politely.
Heh, she's really polite. I didn't do much. Naruto thought.
"Do you think your family will find you?" He asked.
"Yes. They're s-searching e-everywhere f-fore me..." She replied.
"Ah that's good. Well Hinata-chan. I should get going. I wouldn't want to draw attention." Naruto said to her. Which was a lie. He actually wanted the glory, and attention this might of brought to him. But it would of risked the secret of his ability. Naruto stood up, and began to walk away.
"Ano!(4)" The girl shouted. Naruto turned around.
"C-can...I get the name of...my savior?" She asked shyly. This caused Naruto to grin.
"Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto." He responded. Again he made his way to leave, until he noticed a injury on Hinata's ankle.
"Hey! You're hurt!" He kneeled in front of her, which caused her to blush, and started chanting.
"Pain, pain fly away. Pain, pain fly away" (5)Naruto finished each chant with a wave in the air with both arms. Hinata didn't know how, but she had felt the slight pain on her ankle go away. Naruto finished off with a soft kiss on her ankle, Which caused her to blush profusely. He smiled at her once again. He set off to leave once again, but for some reason, it didn't feel right.
Doesn't look like anyone's coming anytime soon, I should talk to her. Naruto thought.
"Hey, Hinata-chan. So...how's life at home?" Naruto asked, but sweat dropped almost instantly at the amount of dryness the question had. (6)
"Ah? Oh, w-well...it's horrible." She replied with a sad tone in her voice. This caused Naruto to frown.
"How come?" He asked. It was the most obvious question.
"My f-father thinks I-I'm weak..." She replied.
"What? You're only my age, sure, you can't be that strong. But you look strong. Why's he think that?"
"B-because...I can't learn as fast as my cousin, who's from a lower part of my family. (7)And my father thinks that's a big disappointment."
"Well...to me it's obvious your father is a idiot." He said with a grin.
"I bet it's just your confidence. Work on that, and I'm pretty sure you'll get stronger in no time." He suggested.
"L-like how?" (8)
"Well...I read a book one time. And it said that screaming outside at your loudest voice could actually help. Come on, try it." He said.
"W-what? I...I don't know..." She said.
"Oh come on. It's just you, and me. Just look at me." He smiled at her. Although a bit late, she inhaled deeply. And let out a huge scream. It lasted for a few seconds, before she stopped, panting softly.
"That...was exciting..."She said. Naruto laughed at this.
"Now work on that, and your confidence problem will go away. And that's one step ahead for being a great ninja." He grinned. She smiled back at him.
"By the way, do you have any dreams?" He asked out of curiosity.
"Huh? Well...I-I'd really like it, if I could impress my father someday..." She said.
"So basically, you want to show him you're not what he thinks you are?" He simplified. She nodded her head.
"That sounds like a great dream. And you know what?" He asked. She shook her head no.
"From now, and the time that happens. I'll always support you." He said smiling. This caused her to blush greatly at the comment. (9) She flailed her arms in a anime sort of fashion, and stuttered.
"N-N-Naruto-kun! I-I t-think it's t-too soon for t-that!" She stuttered more than she ever did in her life, and blushed more than she did as well.
"Eh?" Naruto was confused.
"Soon for what?" He asked. This caused her, if possible, to blush more.
"Y-you...m-me..." She trailed off, and started poking her fingers together. (10) Naruto suddenly heard some people coming by.
"Oh crap on a crap sandwich, crap on the top, with a side of crap!" (11)Naruto yelled.
"Sorry Hinata-chan. I have to run. I'll see you at the academy if you're applying there." HE said, before he "Jumped" away. To his house. Leaving a still stuttering Hinata, and the Hyuuga's that approached her.
Wait...was it really a smart idea to "Jump" in front of Hinata-chan? He thought for a second.
Nah...she probably won't even remember me. He concluded, before he "Jumped" from his house, to his, and Haku's "Camp Site" If only he knew...
Naruto appeared by Haku, who was still sound asleep.
"Geez, she really does sleep a lot." He said, before yawning loudly, and stretching his back, and arms.
"Man, what a day. I need to get some sleep." He said getting into the sleeping bag with Haku in it. Then he stopped.
Hmm...It's only been one day, but I'm already used to sleeping with Haku...is that a bad sign? He thought for a second.
Nah. How could it? He left it at that, before sleeping.
It was only a few seconds before Naruto woke up again.
"What the..." He looked at the sky to see the sun rising. He then sweat dropped.
"I didn't get a wink of sleep!" Naruto cried, with anime tears streaming down his face. Haku suddenly woke up.
"Good morning, Naruto-kun. How was your sleep?" She asked. Naruto sweat dropped again.
"I don't want to talk about it..." He rolled the other way before attempting to sleep. Which caused Haku to be confused.
"Huh? What's his problem?"
This was Naruto's lifestyle for the time being. But without saving the Hyuuga, and buying some different ramen packs. and even occasionally "Jumping" back home on accident. He needed to work on that. Naruto tried the Pocky he had bought, and was actually pretty good. Everything was going fine until a week, and a half went by. Naruto hit his first problem in a while.
"Oh crap. I'm broke." Yes our favorite blond was broke. The hokage had given Naruto only enough money for himself, and himself only. So with Haku, the money only lasted a week.
Naruto knew he had to get job soon, or else they'd have to live on the streets...well they were already technically living on the streets, but living on the streets without money. Even though he was a kid, and most people won't even take him seriously, there had to be at least one person who needed help.
"Hey Haku-chan. We're running a bit low on money, so I'm going to look around town for a job. So stay here okay?" She nodded in approval. They still had extra instant ramen from when they didn't feel like eating. (12) (13) And with that, Naruto walked away from view of Haku, and "Jumped" to a alleyway in town. He walked out, trying to look non-suspicious as possible.
Store by store, Naruto asked, and pleaded, and even begged. But none really took him seriously, like he feared. Until he entered a delivery store that had the sign in bold print "Any help is acceptable.". Naruto figured the "Any help" part also considers children as well. Naruto shrugged, and walked in, and reached the counter he could barely even see over.
"Uh...Hello? Anyone there?" He asked. Then he heard a old, deep gruff sounding voice.
"What?" The man leaned over the counter, and darted his eyes back, and forth looking for Naruto. Until Naruto spoke.
"I'm right here." He said. The man looked down at him.
"Hey kiddo, you lost?" He asked. Naruto frowned.
"Hey, I'm not a kiddo. I'm a man!" Naruto replied, puffing out his chest to make him look slightly more of a man. Although it didn't do much because of Naruto's small stature. This caused the man to laugh.
"Ha ha! Okay, "Man". What'cha doing here for."
"Oh, I'm here for that." Naruto pointed at the sign.
"You want to work here? Can ya handle it?" He asked.
"Of course! It's a delivery service right?" The man nodded.
"Then how hard can it be?" Naruto said while grinning.
Naruto groaned as he looked at today's packages. They looked fairly large, and seemed to weigh a lot.
"Good luck kid. I'll check later to see how you're doing." The man walked away into a room with a curtain.
Naruto groaned once again. At least this guy was willing to pay him. Might as well get started.
The first package was a killer, it was practically across town! And "Jumping" wasn't a good idea as well. It was around noon, and he might get found out. So with another groan, Naruto grabbed the package, and lifted it onto his back, and walked towards his location, which was across town.
Thirty minutes later. Naruto arrived at his destination, and sighed in relief.
"Finally! Now to deliver it." He walked to the doorstep, and knocked on it. A few seconds later, a young women came out, and looked down.
"Morning. Here's your delivery" Naruto said. (14)
"Ara? So young, and already working? You're so responsible." She said, and softly rubbed his head. Naruto grinned at the touch.
"Now if you can just sign here..." Naruto said pulling out a sheet. A few seconds later, everything was finished, and the women received her package. Before leaving however, she gave him 500 yen. (15) This left Naruto confused.
"Uh miss? I'm pretty sure you don't give me money." Naruto said.
"Ah, Mr. Delivery boy, that's a tip for doing so well? Congratulations." She explained.
"Really? Thanks a lot." Naruto thanked, and bowed before he left. (16) The rest of the time delivering packages, were similar to this. Naruto had to be very polite, or else he might've done bad on his first job. Which resulted in many of the recipients giving Naruto tips.
After his last package, Naruto returned to the store, and was greeted with the old man.
"Hey, old man I'm done." Naruto said.
"I have to say, I'm impressed. You're so young, but you're already my finest worker." The man laughed loudly.
Obviously this guy's haven't had many employees in a while...Naruto concluded.
"Oh you don't know anything about your pay right?" Naruto shook his head.
"Well in a job, you don't get your pay everyday, you get it at the end of each week. And you work 300 yen per hour. Sorry kid, since you're a kid, I have to pay you the lowest amount." He informed.
"Nah it's okay. I'll see you tomorrow." Naruto said . He had gotten enough from the tips alone.
"Oh yeah, I never got your name mister." Naruto realized.
"The name's Reiji." Just Reiji." He responded. Naruto grinned.
"Okay Reiji-jiji. (17) See ya." He said waving while leaving. This caused the man to get a vein on his forehead.
"I'm not that old am I?" He asked himself. He got silence as a response.
"Hey Haku-chan. You'll never believe it! I met this nice man who gave me a job. We'll be able to live!" Naruto said with giddy in his voice.
"Naruto-kun! That's great!" She hugged him for a second, before getting off, and blushing."
"S-sorry..."
"What for?" He asked confused.
"Ah forget it, it's late, and let's get some sleep." She nodded in response, with giddy. (18)
The next morning, Naruto awoke, this time, something was different. Haku was gone!
Naruto jumped out of the sleeping bag in shock, and looked around. She was nowhere to be found! Naruto panicked for a second, before finding...a "Jump Scar"?
A "Jump Scar"? Here? Was it Zylex? Did he take Haku? Naruto didn't waste anytime going through the "Jump Scar", and where he landed he didn't know. Zylex was nowhere to be found, and Naruto was about to look for him until he saw Haku. She looked unharmed, so Naruto practically bolted to her in relief, but he never had the chance, because when he started his sprint. Naruto couldn't believe his eyes. Haku had "Jumped" away! Naruto fell to his knees in shock, eyes wide.
"Haku-chan's...a "Jumper"? Naruto asked himself.
"That...means I have..." He paused, and looked up from the ground.
"I have to kill Haku-chan someday... " He inevitably said.
Throughout his stay in the Land of Water. The last person he'd thought to be a "Jumper", was Haku...
Next chapter:
Haku's a "Jumper"? With secrets found out, what will Naruto do?! (19)
1. Yes I know, in the wave arc, the Land of Water is a relatively poor place right? I figured, since this is seven to eight years before the Wave arc, I'm guessing Gato didn't come in, until like a year or so before Naruto and company went there.
2. Means "Good Morning", or something similar I think. I wasn't planning to use any Japanese words besides honorifics, but Ohayo just seems so...badass...Or something...
3. Okay, consider the top half of this chapter filler. Because at this part here, is where it starts to get interesting.
4. Something like "Um", or "Ah". But I think, can be used to get someone's attention.
5. This may seem made up, but I've seen this in anime, and manga. Usually, used with little kids, when one, or the other gets injured. This is probably only used in Japan, because it's never happened to me...
6. When I say that, I mean that the question was...well he didn't mean to ask that question I guess. I don't know what I was thinking at the time.
7. When she says this, she doesn't mean the "Lower part of the family" as an insult. So...don't say anything about that.
8. I noticed that I'm not making Hinata stutter much. But I decided, "Hey, she's shy, but she can't stutter that much."
9. You may be wondering why she acted so flustered after Naruto said he'll support you. I read, that "Support", and "Court" have the same reading in Japanese. So in Hinata's point of view, she thinks Naruto's saying "I will always court you." Which is why she is so flustered. Oh, and for those who don't know what "Court" means, it's to seek the attention of... So when using "Court" against someone else, you're trying to seek the attention of whoever you're courting. In this case, you want to date her,(Hopefully...) or something. I also think it could be something sexual, but I'm not sure, I didn't really study the word much. But since I don't want anything sexual going on, (Not to mention they probably don't even know what "Sexual" is...) I'll just have the definition as that above. By the way, I read it from a manga of course, so they said that as a TL note, and could actually mean in writing instead of audio. But if you're reading this, let's just say it's in audio. Okay? Besides, I love cute misunderstandings like these.
10. And that, is how the finger poking habit she does, started. Ha ha.
11. Hey, he's five, he's supposed to say stupid, and weird things like that. But...since he's Naruto, and our favorite blond ninja, I guess he won't be that much different when he's twelve. Ha ha.
12. Of course, when I say this, I mean Haku didn't feel like eating. Naruto ate his share of ramen whenever he got it. Ha ha.
13. Oh, and Haku may seem like she's not doing much, but she will get some action soon.
14. I'm not really sure how doorstep deliveries work, so I'm just inferring.
15. Roughly five dollars in USD.
16. Not sure if you can actually give tips in a delivery service...oh well you can now...well in this story.
17. Means "Old Man". Used after a person's name.
18. I don't know why, but I just love that word right now...
19. Haha, sorry I needed to do that. Plus...it gives that manga ending feel to it.
Yes! Chapter two of Naruto no Se-Ta is finally finished! Exactly a month too! To be honest, I didn't really start this until last week. Haha. Because I thought not a lot of people liked it. But there's actually people that like it!
And about Haku being a "Jumper", come on, I bet like half of you expected that.
DeExil- Thanks for reviewing, I really love your stories, and am honored for you to say that I have talent. Thank you. I hope I don't mess up this story, because I'd hate to disappoint you.

Thanks for reviewing.
And how's it going so far? Remember, the first half may have been boring, so consider that filler, and really just focus on the second half. But there's still some parts in the first half has some important stuff in it. Just slightly though.
Anyway, like I said, did I nuke it? Hope I didn't. Anyway, it's been decided. The third chapter, will be the last chapter of Naruto being a kid. (But probably half of it will be Naruto as a kid, and the other half is when Naruto graduates.
Haha, I just checked, theres twenty-nine people on the alert list. I don't care that they didn't review, I'm just glad people are looking forward to this story.
Also, come on people. Vote! Only like three to four people voted. I know I'm the writer, and that I should be writing the story, I need help on these two polls! The polls are at the top of this chapter in bold by the way.
And one more thing, if theres text saying "Linehere" thats where I put the horizontal ruler thing. So if you see any of those, that's because I forgot to put the horizontal line there.
Hehe, Seven thousand words. Biggest chapter so far.
Anyway, thanks for reading.
