AN: Hey its me again. Thought I'd give you some more to read. Before I start though I have a few things to say. First is that in the prologue I kind of messed up on something, that was I it was Fenir that Takashi was riding on not Shadow. That would be kind of weird. The other thing is that this chapter will explain a few things that were left out of the prologue. So basically this will be a flashback chapter. Also I'm not good at Japanese so everything will mostly be in English. Another thing I want to say is thank you to everyone who took the time to read my story. There is also a spoiler on this chapter if you haven't kept up with the manga so watch out.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything but the plot and my ocs. If I did I would be very rich.
Chapter 1
A week after the prologue
We find our red-eyed sunglasses wearing ninja walking in the village in the early morning. Next to him was a 12-year old boy with a long gray overcoat, a brown spiky afro, and black round sunglasses. This was Shino Aburame, clan heir to the Aburame Clan. On the other side of Takashi we find something that could have made people mistake him for being an Inuzuka, a pure white wolf. This was Fenir Takashi's only link to his late parents besides himself.
The reason these three were up at this ungodly hour was that Takashi was escorting his cousin to the academy so he can get ready for his exam that day. Takashi wasn't worried, he had just as much(if not more)confidence as Shino did that he could pass with flying colors. He knew Shino wouldn't get Rookie of the Year since that Uchiha kid was in their and the civilian council kissed his ass every chance they got...bastards(yes before you ask I do hate Sasuke and I hope he will die a horrible and painful death). Anyway another reason he was up at this hour was so he could spend some time with his friends before they all became Jounin senseis again or for the first time in Kakashi's and Kurenai's case or never in Anko's and Hana's case. Kakashi's being he never passed a team and Kurenai because she just became a Jounin, which nobody would ever live it down since she was last. Anko never took a team because everyone was worried they'd be scarred for life and because of who her old sensei was. And Hana was always to busy helping her family to take on a few brats. As they were walking in silence Takashi flashed back to when he and Shibi came to the Hokage Tower the day after he arrived in this village and how the council meeting went.
Flashback
A 5 year old Takashi was uncomfortably standing in the middle of the council room with Fenir protectively by his side while his uncle was seated by a feral looking woman with red triangle tattoos on her cheeks and a wolf(I'm not sure if it is a wolf I'm just saying he is)with an eye patch on which surprised him and a man with no pupils. He looked more around the room and saw a man whose head looked like a pineapple because of the ponytail, a man with long blond hair in a ponytail, and a very large man with red hair and what looked like swirls on his cheeks. On the other side their were two other men and a woman. One man had blond spiky hair that went down to his neck and wore a foxlike grin on his face which creeped him out. The woman next to him had long flowing red hair and was very beautiful, but he could tell she was dangerous. The other man had on what looked to be a personal scowl on his face, he had black hair and black eyes, he also had an aura of arrogance that stated he was better than anyone else. On the other side of the room was apparently the civilian council. In the center of it all was the Hokage and his old teammates.
"Now that everyone is present I believe we can begin,"started the Hokage, "now as you all know young Takashi here has come here after his village killed his parents. What we need to figure out is what he is going to be while staying here, will he be a ninja or will he stay a civilian." While they were pondering this Takashi's curiosity got the better of him and he went over to the one eyed wolf. The wolf noticed him and stared at him making him stop in his tracks. Fenir noticing his new master was not at his side but by the wolf he made his way over to them. When he got their he noticed that they were just staring at each other. Then slowly Takashi raised his hand, the wolf noticed and tensed expecting him to grab his eye patch or his ear, but was surprised when he just received a pat on the head. "Well, isn't that surprising." someone said and he looked up with a cold look at being interrupted.
Tsume Inuzuka was a wild and feral woman who just so happened to be the clan head since her husband never did these kinds of things. Right now she wished she could be at home right now with her young daughter and husband. She was just going to say to keep the brat a citizen just so she could go home. As she thought of this she saw the previously mentioned brat lifting his hand to her nin partner. Thinking he was going to hurt him she went to stop him, but was surprised when he patted him on the head in a very gentle way. Getting over her shock she said "Well, Isn't that surprising." she said to him. But instead of getting a startled look of a kid getting caught doing something, she instead got a cold look that said to "get the hell away from me" and she was going to tell him off when his wolf nudged him and pulled on his sleeve as if to say it was time to go. The kid took one last cold look at her and walked away. Tsume was confused at why he would look at her in such a way when she didn't even do anything.
She was taken out of her thoughts when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Looking to her left she saw Shibi looking at her. "Forgive my nephew," he stated calmly, " he has lost trust for people he does not know very well, so do not blame him to much." She nodded in understanding and he went back to watching his nephew sit on the ground next to his life long friend. He could feel the eyes of everyone after what had just happened and just ignored them. They were all shaken out of their thoughts when Sarutobi cleared his throat.
"Hmph, has everyone come to a decision?" he asked getting several nods, " let us start with Hiashi-san," he said indicating the man with no pupils and long black hair. Standing the man looked at the child and stated, " I believe that the child should be kept a civilian so we do not endanger our village with his demon," he stated with no emotion as the child in question just gave him a hard stare.
Nodding the Hokage went on, "Alright, Tsume-san you can go next," he said to the feral looking woman. She stood up while Hiashi sat back down and stated, " I believe that he should become a shinobi, I think he has what it takes." When she sat back down after a nod from the Hokage she looked at Takashi to see he was staring at her a softened look which she smiled at.
(I'm not going to make a monologue for everyone so I'll just tell you what they said)
Inoichi Yamanaka agreed that he would make a fine ninja. Shikaku Nara said he would go with the majority vote since it would be to troublesome to vote, he got an odd stare from Takashi and sweatdrops from everyone else who knew the man well enough. Shibi said he would be fine with either, but said he would like him to become a ninja. Chouza Ackamichi stated that he would possibly enjoy him being a ninja. Fugaku Uchiha said that he didn't deserve to be a ninja and should be thrown out into the street, that got him a lot of angry looks. Almost all the civilians agreed with Fugaku that the "demon" should be thrown out. Others thought he should be a ninja so they can use his power for protection and the rest just wanted him to be a ninja. They were down to their final three people, Danzou the war veteran and Mr and Mrs Namikaze.
Danzou stood knowing just what to do with the boy. "Hokage-sama, I believe I should take the boy and train him to be in ROOT Anbu. We would be able to use his power to strike fear into our enemies." He said with an evil smile on his old face. Before Sarutobi could say anything there was a loud buzzing and hissing coming from one part of the room. Shibi Aburame was always a calm man, but what Danzou just suggested took him beyond his breaking point, standing he said in voice that chilled everyone even Fugaku and Hiashi to the bone, "You so much as touch him Danzou-sama, I will personally kill you myself. He will not be used as a tool for your own sick wishes." Sitting back down and ignoring the looks from everyone he tried to quiet down the beetles that so desperately wanted to suck the chakra out of the old war veteran then devour his flesh. Takashi looked on in awe as his uncle managed to scare everyone to where they were close to wetting themselves out of pure fear, he was sure he heard a dark chuckle coming from deep inside his subconscious. Fenir watched with a smirk as Danzou sat back down with a slightly pale look on his face. Wanting to end this before a fight broke out Minato Namikaze stood up along with his wife Kushina Namikaze/Uzumaki to give their thoughts on the child, Minato started by saying, "The only thing I agree with is that he should become a ninja but not a weapon," he started very serious, but then gave a foxy grin, "but I think it should be up to him on what he wants to do," he finished with a nod of agreement from his wife.
After that statement everyone looked at the child in question. If Takashi was uncomfortable before he was really uncomfortable now. Everyone was staring at him with a stern and slightly curious expression on their faces. He gulped and looked at his uncle for something but all he got was a nod and that wasn't very helpful. Sighing he turned and looked at everyone else with a blank stare and just said, "I'll be a ninja, not a weapon." The Hokage nodded and dismissed the meeting, grumbling under his breath about more paperwork to be done. As Takashi was leaving with Fenir and Shibi he felt a nudge at his back, turning around he noticed the wolf from before. He didn't know what to do until the wolf nudged his hand silently asking to be petted. Slightly smiling the boy reached up an gave him a couple of pats on the head and said a silent goodbye and walked away with Shibi and Fenir. Slightly away watching with a curious expression was Tsume Inuzuka. As her partner came up to her she thought,' He's very interesting. I should have Hana keep an eye on him since she'll be in his class when he starts.' Shaking herself out of her thoughts at the sound of a bark from her partner she started to head home to think about this matter more.
"Takashi. Takashi. Takashi."
End Flashback
"Takashi. Were here." Shino said in a slightly exasperated voice. Knowing this man is one thing, being related to him was another. He was always off in his own little world when he wasn't talking to somebody of doing something. It could get on anyones nerves. But he wouldn't have it any other way. A plus side was that he was always willing to take time out of his day to help him when his father wouldn't. Sometimes it was a good thing cause when not in the presence of the council or people he wasn't good friends with he tended to be a bit goofy. Not to sat Takashi didn't either, he was just more subtle with it.
Taken out of his thoughts at the sound of his cousin's voice he looked and saw that they were indeed at the ninja academy. Chuckling sheepishly he looked down at Shino and said, "Right sorry, I was off in my own little world there wasn't I?" He laughed at the exasperated nod he got in response. Still smiling he said, " Don't give me that look Shino-kun. You know I like to space out,"he said while Shino nodded sadly, "Well since it looks like you want me gone now I'll go. Good Luck Shino." He said while giving his head a little ruffle, which he got an eyebrow twitch at as Shino walked away. "Come on I thought you liked it when I did that." " Yeah when I was five." Shino said in a monotone voice. Shaking his head while muttering "Kids these days" he walked off to find the dango shop that him and his friends were going to meet to discuss what was happening with the genin exams.
Walking along he remembered when he first met them he wouldn't talk or interact with them at all. When they talked to him he just gave them a cold stare that said to leave him alone. But they finally got through to him with their persistent nagging ways. He was glad they were persistent so he wouldn't be alone for the rest of his life alone and depressed. He still had trusting issues with people he never got to know for awhile and became friends with.
Coming up to the Dango Shop(no idea for a name)he heard loud rambunctious laughter coming from inside and if he had to guess they were coming from one Anko Mitarashi having her morning sake. Walking through the flap he was greeted by the site of Anko laughing hysterically at something she had apparently found funny. Kakashi was sitting there, on time for once, shaking his head while holding his book. Asuma was next to him looking angry and embarrassed at the same time. If the busted cigarette in his mouth and his blackened face were anything to go by then he was probably the joke. Kurenai and Hana were across from those two giggling loudly. Snorting loudly Takashi tried to hold in his laughter but was failing when everyone looked towards him at the snort. Fenir was trying to contain himself as well, keyword trying. But when Asuma looked towards him he let loose a booming laugh as well as Fenir falling to the ground barking in laughter. Asuma just glared at him as the others laughed as well. Getting a hold of themselves Takashi and Fenir strolled up and sat down across from Anko and took some dango for himself and Fenir, who was enjoying the attention from Kurenai and Hana.
Chuckling some more he asked "Hehehe, so what'd I miss?" The question sent Anko off laughing again so she couldn't explain, luckily Kakashi while absorbed in his book said, "Anko was getting tired of Asuma smoking, so she put a small explosive in his cigarette and well." he finished indicating Asuma who wiped his face with a napkin with a scowl.
"So Takashi why are you here so late?" asked Kurenai as she stopped petting Fenir, much to his disappointment.
" I was taking Shino to the academy since his lazy ass father wouldn't wake up this morning." he replied getting chuckles in return. They were the only ones outside of the clan that knew how much of a charade Shibi put on outside of the clan. Continuing he asked, "So, you guys know who your getting for your teams?"
"We've only got a rough understanding of it." Asuma replied getting over his little tantrum. He had a knew cigarette in his mouth after thoroughly checking it. "Pops won't let us have the official team settings until tomorrow.
"The only thing I know is that I'm getting Sasuke since the council wants him to learn the sharingan when he gets it." Kakashi said knowing he would have to teach him even if his team fails.
Grinning while eating some dango Anko said, "I don't even know why your even taking in any gakis," she started, "you could never tie me down with any kids." They just shook her heads at her behavior. "Yeah, they'd never understand having a sensei who uses a three dogs to attack their opponents." Hana agreed full heartily.
Takashi just grinned and said, "I don't really have a reason to take a team unless they want me on Shino's so I could train him." he said. "Besides, you know how much I hate meeting new people and how much I suck at it." he stated simply as everyone nodded their heads.
And thats how it went for a few hours until Takashi noticed the time and decided to go and pick up Shino from the academy and congratulate him. "I got to go guys, got to pick up Shino." he said. As he left he yelled back, "Oh yeah! I'm watching out for whoever gets him on a team so you all better watch out." he warned and everyone who was getting a team paled while Anko and Hana laughed.
As soon as he got to the academy he noticed that their were a lot of parents their waiting for their children. He also noticed that Shibi wasn't their so probably knew Takashi would come. Growling under his breath he and Fenir went over to a side of a fence and waited. After a few minutes he noticed some kids coming out with either disappointed or happy looks. He was looking for one with neither of course. He spotted Shino coming out with a headband on his head and started to go over to him. But before he could move he noticed a lone boy on the swing on the only tree in front of the academy. The boy had blond hair and blue eyes that he remembered from the last Hokage. He also wore this hideous orange jumpsuit that just said "I'm right here kill me!". He also had these weird whisker marks on his cheeks. This was Naruto Uzumaki, the demon container for the Kyuubi no Kitsune.(spoiler if you hadn't kept up with the manga) And what he and a whole lot of people didn't know was that he was the son of Minato Namikaze the 4th Hokage. It was kept an S-classed secret until he was old enough to defend himself and be able to understand. 'Guess he didn't pass' Takashi thought to himself as he made his way over to his cousin. As soon as he got to him he congradulated him and they started the long walk home not where they slept not knowing what happened that night.
