The Hokage, Sarutobi, was sitting in his chair in the Hokage office. Outside it was a beautiful day, sun shining, birds chirping, a wonderful book in his hands, a nosebleed... oh god not this again...
Well other then that, things were perfect, peace, quiet, harmony... "Oy, ji-san, you do know that book is no good for you, right" a voice spoke from the door. For a few moments, the old man just chuckled at the comment... until he snapped his head at the door, as he had not heard anyone enter or leave.
But there stood two cloaked people, both standing on either side of the door, with their hoods over their heads, covering who they were. Not one easily scared, the great Sarutobi felt a bit of fear at the two unknowns standing in his office.
"Who are you, and what is your business here" he asked, fearing the answer. The two looked at each other, then started to chuckle, scaring the old man even more. "well our business is clear as day, and the answer is simple. We are here to..." the male of the two said, as his hand rose... but it went past his cloak, and went for his hood, as he pulled it back, making a mop of bleach blond hair, with stripes of silver and black, show up, as a white mask was on his face.
"...say hi to you, old man. Its been a long time since last we saw each other" he said as he stood there. As the old mans cogs started to spin, his eyes started to widen. "N-Naruto?!" he asked, and the guy took of his mask showing him narutos smiling face. "Oh, and here i thought you actually cared, and you don't even care about checking the village, plus you knew i was coming home about now, right?"
"Oh what a blunder, for the great Hokage, missing something so important like someones homecoming after 3 years? Get a life, naruto, no one can remember such things, its the way of the mind, the now before the past and future, remember" the other one said, in a smooth womanly voice. Naruto leaned his head towards her, rolled his eyes and put his hand on his shaking head.
"Oh come on, Vi-chan, that was so unnecessary, i was just joking, ya know." he said, then turned his attention to the Hokage. "Its good to see you again, old man. How is life treating ya." he asked as he sat down in the couch that stood against the wall, next to the bookshelf, as did Villetta. The old man only chuckled, as he picked up the dropped pipe from the floor, hitting the desk with the back of his head, on the way up. As he rubbed the back of his head, he chuckled again.
"Well, so so, a little of the good, a little of the bad, and a lot of the ugly, if you get my drift" he said as he tried to light the pipe, finding it unusually hard this time, so he checked it... finding that the "weed" had fallen out. Groaning, he opened the drawers for some new tobacco. All while the two in the couch silently laughed at his endeavor.
"well Ive noticed. Lost some of your memory or what, old man." He asked, smirking, as the old man looked at him with a blank look, at which the two only smiled. "ah its okay, its a part of life."
"So Naruto, why don't you introduce your friend to me" he asked as he leaned back in the chair, as he saw the two look at each other, seemingly contemplating something. Then she nodded, and stood up, as her hood fell, and with it a long sling of red hair, while the 'tail' was wrapped around her neck, and as she shook her head, it fell down as well, hanging down well below her thigh.
"Very well, I am Uzumaki Villetta, adopted younger sister of Uzumaki Naruto, And also apprentice of said person, its a pleasure to meet you, Hokage-sama" she stated as she bowed.
Of course this didn't register in the old mans head for a while... "oh his adopted sister, its a pleasure to meet ya" he said, after which his face showed understanding of what she had said. You know, complete shock, mouth hanging, eyes bulging out, speechless, the whole nine yards.
Of course, Naruto was only laughing in his corner, clapping his hands and on his knee. "Ah man, old man, you really shouldn't be so confused... i mean Jiraya did tell you about this when he returned a month ago, right" he said smiling, but when the old man just shook his head, the smile wavered a bit. Sighing, Naruto simply shook his head. "Oh great, the lazy ass is probably stuck in some red light district, again. how many times have this happened again?" he asked his sister, who took out a notepad.
"Well counting the possibility of this being the same as usual, im counting about 436 times hes done this, over the course of, 3 years now. Oh and it says here he still hasn't paid us back the dept of what he accumulated last year" she said, while writing down something. "well with the interest rates here in konoha, its becoming quite a fee for us, dont you think" she said as she showed naruto the pad, at which he only whistled. "aw damn, hes gonna have sell a lot of books to pay for that"
A cought was heard and both standing looked at the kage. "Well, now that all the, surprises are out of the way, i would like to know what you have decided to do" he asked, and the uzumakis looked at each other, nodded, then looked at the old man.
"A genin team, Hokage-sama" they both said, in sync. The kage looked at them a bit confused but then smiled. "Okay then, what teams would you like to have". The two looked at him confused. "What do you mean 'teams', as in two? That was not what we meant, we meant a genin team, between the two of us." now it was the kage who looked confused. before he got to state his question, the to answered him. "We will not take separate teams, for we work the best together, as such, one team, and we chose the members, or no deal. Your choice, Hokage-sama." Naruto said as he stood there, while Villetta leaned against him, smiling.
sighing, the hokage sat in his chair, thinking. and thinking, and thinking and...well you know the rest...
Finally, he put his elbows against the table. "I will allow it. I have been getting some reports that the council have been interfering with shinobi business lately, and have even started to decide the upcoming teams, and making sure that their own children come through, even though they dont have what it takes. What you are suggesting will be a spanner in their wheel of control... And i approve of such a thing" he said smiling. The two standing smiled as well, bowed and disappeared into thin air. Heading towards who knows where...
With the naruto...
"naruto, did we actually have to pull the whole 'brother and sister' thing on him? i mean hes a respectful man, or am i wrong?" Villetta asked as she kissed naruto on the cheek, while sitting in his lap. Naruto just smiled. "Yeah he is, but i dont want his perverted side to surface to early" he said as he kissed her right on the lips, all while running his hand across her back.
"Perverted side?" she asked, getting angry. "Oh dont worry, Vi-chan. If he ever does something like ero-sennin, you know what will happen to him, dont you?" he said, seeing her scowl just melt away. "oh you mean you'll protect me, from pervs... what a romantic person you can be sometimes" she laughed, not a sarcastic laugh, but a cute and soft one, the kind of laugh that a girl makes when she finds you funny, and interesting, in a good way...
"Well if you want to..." he said, nipping for another kiss, but that was sadly disturbed by a loud shout. Looking down from the branch, they saw the perp. A bunch of 13 year olds standing below the tree they were sitting in. "hey mister, what are you doing to the beautiful lady, get your hands of her" a pink haired girl shrieked at him, making everyone plug their ears. When she finally stopped, Naruto looked at Villetta, who nodded, at which both just disappeared.
As all the kids were looking for where they went, a blade suddenly slid up against the pinkhaired ones neck. "Little girl, who has given you the right to disturb two people and their own affairs, well?" Naruto asked as he raised the blade, making her raise her head. "N-no one..." She stuttered out, afraid of what he would do.
"Correct, and remember that, for next time, it might be an enemy, and he wont simply threaten you. He might as well kill you, or have his way with you... just because you thought you were above the rules" he said as he removed the blade. Of course the pink haired girl started to scream something about rapist and what not. Of course the entire staff of the ninja academy, where everything took place, came running.
Sighing, he spun the blade, and sheathed it. All while speaking. "I am not anything this girl has been screaming. She interrupted something me and my girlfriend were doing, believing she was the one to command another. I gave her a question, she gave the right answer, after which she started to sling her words again, something I find most displeasing." he stated as he stood there, at which the teachers backed down.
As he stood there, a single girl in the crowd looked at him, then to the blade and back, at which a realization came to her. "Your a Sannin, the blademaster, Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto" the girl shouted, at which everyones eyes suddenly grew wide. Naruto looked at who had shouted, and saw a brunette, with her hair in two buns, a pretty face, a pink tank top, brown baggy pants, and a pair of scrolls in her hands.
"Well little girl since you know, then mind telling me who you are then" he said as he walked up to her. Of course she got nervous and stuttered her answer. "Tenten, sir" "okay Tenten, whats with the scrolls?" he asked, pointing at said item. "Ehm they are full of weapons and..." "weapons, as in sharp and pointy" he asked with a smile, while bending his knees to her level. "why would you concentrate on weapons only, there are more things to ninjas then that" He asked and she started to rub her foot in the ground. But before she got to say anything, a certain duck haired idiot voiced his version.
"Cause shes worthless, why do you even care. If your so powerful you should train me instead. I'm an Uchiha, and I..." after which a second blade pressed up against his neck. Looking at the wielder, he saw Villetta holding it. "Silence, child of traitors, thief's and murderers, you have no say in what Naruto decides. There for, silence, before I do it for you." she growled and raised her blade against his neck to prove her point.
Turning back to Tenten, not listening to the fan girls raving about unfairness, or something. "well" he asked. She looked at him, then Villetta, then her teachers, then back at him. "I want to be like you, a weapons master" she said, rather loudly, as she turned away, of course blushing. Who wouldn't, stating she want to be like her idol, brave, strong, courageous, muscular, handsome... wait, were did that come from and most importantly, did she just think that... oh no, bad thoughts. Nothing but bad thoughts....
All the while, Naruto was chuckling at her antics, as she stood there, wailing her arms at something that wasn't there. He was having fun. But as he stood up, he noticed something moving behind the corner of the building, but as he turned towards it, it disappeared. Shaking his head, he walked towards the shy one, not caring about the other people trying to get his attention.
All the while, the girl hiding against the wall was breathing hard. When she had heard about the return of Naruto, she had rushed down to have a look at him. But she was still the shy person she always had been, so she didn't dare get closer than the building corner. But as she looked around the corner, she saw him talking to Tenten, after which she had heard her proclamation, at which she had felt something unusual, jealousy.
But before it got anywhere, her crush suddenly looked towards her, at which she hid again, her breath ragged, mind bridled with thoughts, legs shaking, conciseness fading. "hey, what you doing her, miss" was all she heard as he leaped away, scared senseless. As she looked at the voice, Naruto stood there leaning against the corner, looking at her. "why you hiding over here, why are you not with the rest of you class" he asked as he thumbed over his shoulder towards the group behind him.
She just shook her head and started to walk away, but was stopped as her hand was caught. As she turned around he released her hand. "Hey, come on, you can tell me. I swear on my honor and life I wont tell anyone else, unless you want to, okay" he said as he held up a pinky finger, while smiling. "You promise" she asked, at which he simply nodded.
Some while later...
It had been a fruit full day, checking out the possible candidest for his team, though he had only found 2 out of the 3 needed. None of the others were as interesting as Tenten and the shy girl, Hinata.
Other then those 2 the rest were plainly not good enough. He had requirements to be meet, and just because you belong to a famous family, you don't get a place automatically. Thats what the Uchiha thought though. 3 times he demanded, 3 times he was rejected, and 3 times he got pissed. Does anyone see a track record here?
The two Uzumaki were walking up to the roof of the academy, wanting to watch the sun go down. but as they were about to open the door, they noticed it wasn't closed completely. both wondering who would be there at the time, opened the door. As they walked out they noticed a person standing against the railing, looking out towards the sunset. Deciding not to disturb just yet they walked up to the rail and leaned against it as well.
"beautiful evening, isn't it" Naruto finally asked, at which the person looked at them. It was yet another girl, with purple hair, brown trench coat, and a very small t-shirt, not covering much of her body, and torn shorts. She looked at them for a while then back at the sunset. "Yeah, it is" she said depressed, which made Naruto and Villetta look at each other.
"hey whats the problem, you okay?" Villetta asked as she walked over to the girls other side, and put her hand on her forehead. But when she did the girl smacked her hand away. "Dont touch me, okay" she growled. Villetta rubbed her stinging hand, at which Naruto put a hand on her shoulder. She looked at him and he simply shook his head.
"okay we wont touch you. We simply want to know why you feel so down, thats all" he said as he sat down on the railing, his arm around Villetta's shoulders. "so well start simple, whats your name" he asked as he sat there, looking at the girl. "Anko, sir" "okay anko, whats the worst thing that has happened to you" he said, at which the girl froze.
"You don't have to, but it would help if you told someone else about the problem. Withholding it, inside yourself, will only hurt you, not help..." he said as he jumped off the rail and kneed in front of Anko. As he did she started to cry.
"M-my sensei betrayed the village, and before he did he used me. He made me kill people, innocent people, and I believed him when he said they were enemies. But when I was done, they proved to be nothing more than old people, civilians and children, and..." she cried, while she had jumped on Naruto for some sort of emotional support. But he just shushed her.
"It will be all right. I know who your sensei is and his betrayal, is why I'm a sannin today. What he has done to so many is his greatest treachery, and he will be brought in to face his punishment." he said as he hugged the girl.
"you promise" she sniffed, and all he did was smile. "oh don't give me that, ive already promised a million people I would kick the snake wallets butt already. But if you need it so badly, I promise" he said as he lifted her up, and suddenly she seemed to fall asleep, all while muttering incoherent phrases like, "thank you" and "its a promise". He said as they disappeared into the night, heading to her home, or at least to the Hokage, to find out where that was...
Lets skip a month or so, to the graduation...
So came the day, graduation day... well lets not make a big fuss about it. We all know how many, and by what extent they passed. What is different is that Tenten, Hinata and Anko were top 3 of the class, or more like, shared 1st place. A feat in it self, indeed. Now most of the class except them were pissed, why? Cause they thought they were styling in front of their oh so important Uchiha... I'm talking about the fanclub now, not some idiot with a death wish... wait, they all have a death wish, sorry about that...
Now we slice up the moment by going to the teams. We can skip most of them until the 7th. "team 7 shall be consisting of Haruno. S, Uchiha, S and Sai" at which some shouts were heard, no one cared, of course the fanclub did, who cares. One emo homo, a pinky, and a silent painter with out emotions... what is this, the 'health institution's house for schizophrenic, open house day' or something...
"team 8 will consist of Houjo Akira, Inuzuka. K and Aburame. S" that team will be a fun thing to watch. A logic bug and a chaotic dog, did I fall aslepp 5 or 10 years, cause I believe that this kind of combination will cause some real headache's.
"team 9 is still in continuation, so its no reason to list it" 2 guys in green spandex, a all seeing blind guy, and a bo-staff crazy monkey, not a Sarutobi thought... need I say more...no...
"Team 10 consist of Yamanaka. I, Akamichi. C and Nara. S" a lazy mastermind, a hungry pacifist and a girl who cares more for her looks then her skill... who decided the members of this team, the marvel crew? This has to be the most non united team in history... good friends, bad team members...
...but here comes the weird thing... "but sensei, you didn't call us..." someone called from the back of the class, after everyone had left, so Iruka looked at who called. There sitting in the back was Hinata, Tenten and Anko. Each had changed in some way... Hinata had dropped her thick jacket, showing her now already growing features... Tenten had added a jacket, but it was a leather jacket, and swapped the pink top for a black instead... Anko... had switched the tight shirt, for a baggy instead...
"eh Yeah about that, its something that I'm not allowed to tell about until your team leader comes here. Thought you'll have to..." at which a knock was heard. Iruka walked up to the door, opened, and walked out... to come back again a minute later. "Well, I guess your in luck... your sensei's is right outside. So I'm proud to tell you, you shoudd be honored. You can come in now" he called as the door slid aside, and in walked two robed persons.
"Eh who are you, and which on of you is our sensei?" Tenten asked, a common question of the three. The two looked at each other, nodded then brought their hood's back, making the 3 gap...
"well, were both your sensei's. You don't want us as sensei's" Naruto asked as he stood there, smiling, while Villetta stood there next to him, smiling as well. "Naruto their confused, and shocked, its not so easy to say what they want..." she said as she leaned against him, holding his arm.
Well, the 3 were in a state of shock, they were just given the best teachers possible. And a hidden plus, was that they knew each other already. Naruto stood there, looking at them a few minutes, then suddenly found himself on the ground with 3 girls hugging him like crazy, crying tears of joy... and glaring at each other... after which they were lifted of him by the collar by Iruka and Villetta, so that Naruto could stand up.
"Well I see there is no problem then. And to complement this, ive already decided to take you as a team for sure." he said, at which Iruka looked at him shocked. Naruto just laughed at him. "Oh come on, ive gotten to know these three, the past month. Why do you think they have changed, so much in so little time. Ive gotten to learn who they are, and what they can. Thats why I also chose these 3." he said as he stood behind his new squad, as he put his arms on their shoulders.
"they have become something like a family to me. We share the hurt, the pain, the anger... but also the happiness, the joy and also, the love" he said as he stood there, and if you'd had been outside and walk in, you'd think that this was a real family.
"What happens to them, happens to me. So, from now on, they live with me." Thought at this, Iruka seemed shocked. "Dont look at me like that. The village doesn't like me, therefor they will probably hurt them to get to me. And I will not allow that kind of thing." he said, getting confused looks from the 3 small girls.
"Plus, do you think I still live in that old wreck of a house. No way man, I bought a really big house on the Hokage mountain." he said as he kneed down to their level.
"So do you want to move in with me and villetta? I mean, you don't have to, if you don't want to. Its your decision" He said, looking at the three. They of course looked at each other, nodding, then did something they already had. They jumped him, all while screaming hugging him, all while he was thinking one thing. 'not again'.
All while 2 chuckles were heard.
So read and review
Well lets cut here. Its 11.30, I'm tired, school tomorrow, got homework and all that shit. And to all of you who have been wondering why I haven't been updating for a long while, or not at all. Its because of a large set of reasons. First and formal... School... I have had about 4 hours of sleep, everyday, the past month... about 16 hours of work in school... thats what you get when you study to become a CGI animator... you get my drift of lack time... and I had the most disturbing accident. First, the harddrive that stored all my storys, ehm it got fried. With no chance off saving... so I had to rewrite the storys... therefor a lack of interest for that... but it came back after a while...
plus i have a weird way of writing storys. I have to visulise the story, talking to my self, listening to how it sounds. Doing this takes about a hour to find the rythm again. Its a good way to make the story sound right, when you, the reader, reads it. you think the words, therefor the need for it to be right... but heres the con. it looks real weird when you sit there, talking to yourself, and someone comes into the room. they usualy leaves before they say anything stupid... but you know, he/she thinks your either stupid or really weird...
The second one is far more depressing. I lost a friend to drunk driving. Well it was a friends friend, but I get to know all my friends, and their friends as well. Thats just who I am. so i have been through a lot of greif the past months. Plus I had to comfort my friend for a long while. Its almost 3 months ago, but shes still sad... all this, because someone, somewhere, decided to go to a bar, then drive home drunk... I just hate knowing that someones crying, specially a girl. If i see a girl crying, i will always try to help her, no matter what...
I wish I could do more for my friend, but I cant, its down to her to cope with it now, she will have my support no matter what thought...
So to all you beer, wisky, and any other alcohol drinkers. if you do decide to take a ride, let it be a bus, and nothing else...
Oh well, until next time, keep reviewing, its good to do so, cause I find the reason to work on the storys...
Life isnt forever, but its long enough... so, take it with a pinch of salt, and do what you think is right, not what others think is...
