Chapter three School Friends and Jerks
Ok here is three and I'm going on vacation soon so I might not be able to update for a while and sorry for the wait I had a few loose ends to tie well any way lets get rolling!
Starts Now
It was a peaceful day in Konoha as the villagers rejoiced every day as they believed that there so called demon span aka Naruto had disappeared two years ago today. It was November first and the villagers were planning to throw a celebration for the demon was gone.
Oh how wrong they were as their parties would be spoiled as today they would have one hell of a buzz kill as today was the day Naruto returned.
The day was just starting out it was about ten a.m. the streets were a flood with people and merchants tried to sell their goods. Today the gate keepers were bored out of their minds as no one ever came to the village this early. But just as they were about to slump back into their chairs and sleep a figure appeared on the horizon. As he got closer they realized he was just a kid. That was until they got a good look and realized who it was.
It was none other then their loathed demon brat as they thought he had been killed and dumped but they hoped for too much. But the boy they once tried repeatedly to kill was scrawny usually weak from hunger and in pain most of the time. But he gave off a new image. He was not weak looking and for a nine year old he was perfectly fit and looked physically stronger. He did not look like he had gone without eating in fact he was in perfect health.
But as he got closer they noticed his attire he wore a black battle Kimono with red trim to. And he kept the upper part open to reveal his chest. His pants were pitch black with his kunai holster tied to his left leg and it too was jet black if it was nigh you probably would not be able to see him move. Strapped to his waist was his Zanpakuto which they believed that sword was too magnificent for a demon like him to have. He wore basic ninja sandals black like the rest but they had something odd about them they just had something odd about them. Naruto walked up to the gatekeeper's station as they had wicked smiles on their faces.
"Halt state your business!" one of the gatekeepers demanded.
"Naruto Uzumaki returning from my trip!" Naruto said handing them a passport with a golden seal only given out by the Hokage which shocked them both.
"I don't know this dose not look like a real passport to me how do we know you didn't forge it?" the man on the write said as he grabbed it and looked at it for a second.
"That was given to me by Lord Hokage himself two years ago so I know its real!" Naruto said getting annoyed.
"Well I say its fake I have worked here for years and I can tell them apart pretty well." The man said as he began to rip said passport to pieced. Then walked out of the booth and over to Naruto. " But I'll tell you what if you give us that sword of yours we'll let you pass what do you say brat?" he asked smiling ear to ear.
"I say you're a blind son of a bitch and if you think I will give you my sword your dumber than a fly eating a corroded piece of shit!" Naruto said smiling as he hand learned how to absorb his hollow features so he looked completely human.
"Listen brat you have no right to have a sword as majestic as that you'll probably loose it so why don't you hand it over?" he asked again but Naruto chuckled and flipped him the bird. This pissed the man off big time as he reached into his pouch and pulled out a kinai. "Ok brat hand it over or I'll take it from you by force!" he yelled as once again he got the bird from Naruto.
The man rushed at Naruto ready to slash him down and take his sword but before he could connect his wrist was caught and a kunai was at his neck. The man looked up to see none other than Kakashi Hatake as the masked Ninja was not pleased with these men for wanting to steal from a child none less his brother but he was one of the only few who new that.
"Disgraceful trying to steel from a child and accusing him of fraud you are the kind of scum that gives ninja's a bad name!" Kakashi said he swung the man by his arm back into the checking booth.
Naruto only could laugh as the man had flown straight into a wooden beam leaving him with a welt and a minor concussion. Kakashi turned to Naruto stared at him for a second and gave Naruto one of his famous left eye smiles.
"Good to see you are finally back Naruto its been dull around the village without one of your pranks." Kakashi said receiving a perplexed look from Naruto.
"I'm sorry do I know you?" Naruto asked.
"Not really but I know you quite well in fact I'd say I know you better than Lord Hokage." Kakashi said pulling out a book from his pouch and began to read it.
"Well I really do owe you for helping me out but I really have to check in with old man Hokage see ya!" Naruto said running off leaving Kakashi smiling under his mask as Naruto reminded him of their father so much it was scary.
Naruto made his way to the Hokage tower in no time at all as he had gained so much physical strength in his legs running from bandits and predators alike. Naruto made his way up to the Hokage's office but he was stopped by the receptionist as she recognized Naruto right away.
"Sorry but Lord Hokage dose not have time to waste on demons like you so go back to where ever the hell you left to and stay there!" the lady said making Naruto chuckle a little then he slammed his hands on her desk making indentations in it as his hands were charged with chakra just so he could startle her.
"Listen lady I have been gone for two year I have seen things that kids my age would be scared for life I've seen horrors that would make even one of the bravest men either puke from disgust or shit themselves in fear I think I've earned the right to see Lord Hokage!" Naruto said with a straight face as what he said was true. Not even five seconds later Naruto was given passage into the Hokage's office.
Naruto entered and the look on the Hokage's face was like he had just seen Kami himself. Before Naruto could even blink he was pulled into a suffocating hug by the elderly Hokage. Moments later he released Naruto as he was gasping for air.
"Its good to see you too old man but gees you almost killed me with that hug." Naruto said chuckling as the Hokage joined in.
"So how have you been my boy you've grown and your Arrancar if that's what you call it features are gone!" the Hokage noticed as Naruto laughed as the old man had just now noticed.
"I've been great I've been training my ass off working hard to be a ninja I found a sword master a year back and I learned a bit of kenjutsu I learned some tyjutsu and I've brought up my chakra reserves to a reasonable level and I can summon now but my summons do not use chakra or be passed down to anyone but I can't do it in public places or bad things will happen!" Naruto stated scratching his head nervously.
"And why is that may I ask?" the elderly Hokage asked.
"About two months after I left I was captured in my sleep and was going to be sold off as a slave I couldn't reach my sword or my kunai so I went with the next best thing I was learning to summon hollows like Shade-sensei could and as I did it ripped my shackles and went on a rampage eating all of the slave traders both body and soul it was rather gross." Naruto said laughing nervously.
The Kage just stared at Naruto in aw as the boy hadn't just seen death but brutal savage maiming of men by a beast. He was surprised that the boy had done so well as accepting death and killing to be common and in the occupation he was going into was the perfect thing for a ninja to formularize themselves with. The boy was a true wonder as he was still sane even with all the abuse he had received the loneliness of the world and on top of that he was no longer completely human.
"Wow you sure know how to get in big trouble without trying don't you?"
"Yeah well it doesn't help when your constantly being ambushed by bandit that try to kill you for your possessions out there its kill or be killed and I will not lie I've had to take three lives and I'm not proud of it but those bandits were so hard to handle without killing or if they have had ninja training try not to be killed!" Naruto said as the elderly Hokage had found Naruto to have clarity they he should not have learned for several years.
"Now my boy you want to be a ninja you have to graduate from the academy in which you continue tomorrow!" said the Hokage receiving a yay from Naruto.
The two said there good byes and Naruto left for home as he had not slept in his own bed in oh so long. As he entered his apartment he saw that it was clean the graffiti was painted over the windows had been replaced the busted doors had been fixed but what made Naruto really happy was the new furniture which included two new sofas a new coffee table a new oven and last but not least to be his personal favorite was the new king sized bed in his room new bedding included.
But Naruto did not even bother with the new bed just yet the first thing he did was go to his bathroom and take a long hot shower as he had not had been in one since he left. He felt the sting of the scorching hot water on his skin and thought it was heaven as the loosened up his tense muscles.
Moments later he left the bathroom fully dressed and exhausted. He reached into his pack and pulled out a barrier seal stamp that he had been given from a retired old ninja who was traveling the country side and was nice enough to help him as he was so young and traveling alone. But the down side to it was it only lasted twelve hours exactly and there is no getting past it or out of it which unless you were Naruto you would not be able to leave and if there was a number of enemies waiting for you, you were basically screwed.
Naruto ripped three from the booklet and placed one on the door and one on the two windows he had in his apartment. The he walked over to his new bed and laid down and in a mater of moments he was out like a light as he had not had a peaceful carefree night where he had to stay on guard to make sure he was not attacked. Even with the seal stamps he had to sleep outdoors and he could not place the stamp on anything so that he was protected.
But he was home now and he knew he was safe and he could trust himself with a good nights sleep. He awoke the next day at five a.m. and decided to start his day. He started with some breakfast consisting of an energy bar a cup of instant roman. He then took another shower then putting back on his favorite attire and strapped his zanpakuto to his waist. But then he had a revelation as he remembered that his zanpakuto looked extremely valuable and people would want to try and take it from him. So he thought of the shopping district of Konoha and a black portal ripped open and we walked through it.
He exited said portal and sure enough he was at the shopping district. The place was lively for it being five forty-five in the morning. But then he noticed that most of them were Shinobi that were stocking up on weapons rations and clothing for disguises. But he found they were only going to big flashy shops that were making there products look better than they were. But Naruto knew better as he had learned on his travels that if they made it look flashy it was worth less than shit. But a small weapons shop with the name Higerashi's Weapons on it. Naruto loved to help small businesses as they almost always had products that were made with the heart and soul of the owners which turns out to be the best quality there could be.
He walked inside and was amazed at the weapons the quality of the weapons of all shapes and sizes. And just looking at them he could tell that they had been made with care and determination as they were some of the best he had ever seen.He walked up to the counter and rang the bell at the cash register. Moments later a girl that looked to be his age maybe even older with brown hair done up in buns came to the counter.
"Hello there may I help you today?" the girl asked sweetly.
"Yes I need a cover for my sword here as I do not want people to see it as it is very valuable and the only one of its design." Naruto said as he took his zanpakuto from his sash and placed it on the desk.
The bun haired girl looked at Naruto's zanpakuto and stars appeared in her eyes and a tiny amount of drool leaked from her mouth as it was one of the most magnificent things she had ever seen.
"HEY DAD GET OUT HERE YOU NEED TO SEE THIS!" she yelled in a happy yet high pitched squeal that made Naruto's ears ring. Moments later a man with blondish brown hair walked from the back and to the counter. Did not look mean or like he would hold a grudge against someone for something they had no control over.
"Tenten its too early in the morning to be yelling besides I have to feed the tombs or the flames will die out!" he said as he walked over to her.
"Sorry father but you have to see this so I'll go feed the tombs." She said running to the back.
The man then glances at Naruto and was surprised that he of all people would ever come to his shop. He was happy that one so young as he was had chose his shop over the others. But that's when he glanced at Naruto's sword. It was a work of art from the gods themselves. It almost brought tears to his eyes as it was that beautiful to him.
"It's a surprise to see a kid as young as you with a sword and a beautiful one at that so how may I help you?" he asked Naruto who knew that he admired his zanpakuto.
"I need a cover for my sword here as it is very valuable and irreplaceable as it is the only one of its kind and design!" Naruto said as the man looked surprised that this boy had a sword that was the only one of its kind.
"I may just have what you are looking for but if I may ask first where did you get such a fine sword as magnificent as this?" he asked trying not to pry but really wanted to know as he wanted to know who forged this work of art that was Naruto's zanpakuto.
"I don't think you would believe me even if I told you and on top of that if I told you you might hate me for what I am and carry!" Naruto said as a pained look came to his eyes.
"I know what you carry my boy and I do not hate you for it in fact you're a hero in my eyes as for your story try me as there is nothing in this world that could be hard to believe!" the man said with a smile that made Naruto's face light up.
"All right I'll tell you but you can not freak out for what I am about to show you!" Naruto said as his spirit energy leaked out of his body making the man stiffen as it was like a Jonnin had focused his killing intent at him.
But it died down as he stared at Naruto in fascination and intrigue as Naruto began to change. Bone began to melt out of Naruto's skin around his mouth as it became his dragon/wolf like jaw mask. And then what had been disturbing was that a hole in Naruto's chest opened up that had made it look like some one had ripped his chest open. But before he could say anything an orb made of pure black energy appeared in the hole in Naruto's chest.
Naruto then began his tale of his appearance and Shade's true reason for coming to Konoha but he left out the part of Shade's friends out. But then he told him about his zanpakuto which really intrigued the man as it was amazing that the sword in front of him was a piece of Naruto's soul and was alive.
"Well my boy your story has just answered my question that has been bugging me for years and as for you not being a complete human forget about it what make you human is your heart not your body." the shop owner said as he walked to the back the back to the counter with a red silk sword cover. But this was one that truly could be admired as at the top of the cover was a metal dragon's head that looked almost alive almost like his zanpakuto's handle looked like it was a dragon made of blazing black fire.
"This is amazing but it looks so expensive I don't think I could afford it." Naruto said as he put his head down.
"But that's where your wrong kid I'll strike a deal with you if you allow me to make a mold of your Zanpakuto's handle and hilt I'll not only pay you but anything you buy in my store will be half price for you and only you so what do you say?" the shop owner said as Naruto went deep in thought.
After a few seconds Naruto looked directly at the shop owner and said. "You have a deal but as long as you can keep my secret but if you blab I take back the molds!" Naruto said as his hollow mask retracted back into his skin and the hole in his chest closed.
The shop owner smiled as he led Naruto to the back of the store. Naruto watched carefully as the shop owner brought out a bottle of white liquid and two iron boxes that had their own unique shape to them. He poured the liquid into the iron boxes then shut them on Naruto's zanpakuto and they waited for five minutes the he removed them ad there they were two perfect molds of Naruto's zanpakuto were born.
They returned to the shop as the shop owner opened the cash register and handed Naruto an insane amount of money. Naruto was happy but confused at the same time. But then Naruto had another revelation he could only use his zanpakuto in any way if he was in hollow form and he would have to be in a secluded area to practice with it. But he would not always be able to train without being seen. So to make up for it he would need a weapon that he could use at any time any day without risking his secret.
Naruto walked from the counter to the wall that had swords of all shapes and sizes. But when he walked up to a pair of large broad swords that were huge at least seventy inches long and eight inches wide and a good half an inch thick. Just then his zanpakuto began to pulse and a voice that that he knew was not Shade was telling him to choose the broad swords and train with them. It was like his zanpakuto had just spoken to him for the first time. Believing that is what just happened Naruto listened and grabbed both broad swords which were heavy but not too heavy that he could not lift them which made them perfect for both practicing kenjutsu and physical body building. Naruto returned to the counter and placed the broad swords on the counter as he was ready to purchase his items now.
"Well Naruto you sure have an eye for quality weapons as those are the strongest and sharpest broadswords that I have ever made I made them extra large so they were almost like a pair of Zweihander (If you have no clue what this sword is google it it is correct spelling) and a Claymore so they have both deadly force, long range attacks, and with of a shield but they are made of a liter yet stronger metal that only I know how to make."
The shop keeper looked down as he had been trying to sell those fore going on three years. He the looked back at Naruto and said. "So I hope that you take good care of them your total is sixteen thousand one hundred and ninety yen." He stated as Naruto counted the money he had been paid by the shop keeper and found that that almost hardly put a dent in how much he had.
"I thank for your help…uuuuuhhhh…." Naruto was embarrassed as he never found out his name.
"My name is Hosenki Higerashi and I should thank you as well for allowing me to take a mold of your Zanpakuto and I'll tell you now if your ever in trouble my door is opened for you so take care Naruto." Hosenki said bowing to Naruto.
"I shall Hosenki and thank you for the help." Naruto said as he picked up the sword casing and slipped his zanpakuto inside and shut the dragon's heads mouth which made a click telling Naruto that it had a securing mechanism in the mouth. He the hooked his zanpakuto to his waist and the tried to lift his new broadswords nut he never thought about how he would carry them. Hosenki laughed and pulled out a two pronged sheath holder that should be worn so that the blades were on your back.
"Consider this a late birthday present from me and my daughter Tenten but be careful as it will be hard for you to go through a door with them being so large and being at an angle that will allow you to walk." Hosenki said as Naruto secured the sheath holder on his back like a backpack then sheathed both blades on to he back the looked at Hosenki.
"Don't worry doors aren't a problem for me as I can just travel through Hueco Mundo to get where I'm going from here." Naruto said bowing then turned towards the exist and opened a the same blackish void that he used now and again to basically anywhere he wanted in a ten mile radius.
If Naruto had looked at Hosenki's face he would have laughed his ass off as Hosenki looked like he was about to shit himself as Naruto had ripped a hole in the very fabric of the universe. Naruto stepped through and the rip closed behind him.
Naruto stepped out of Hueco Mundo to be right inside the academy. He then pulled out the sheet that the Hokage had given him that told him who's class he'd be in until he graduated. He looked at the sheet and was surprised as his sensei would be Iruka Umino's class but what he wasn't sure about was would anybody recognize him now it had been two years since he had been back at the academy.
There was still ten minutes before class started but he wanted to be there early as he did not want to run into any of the teachers who had always beat him when no one was looking and give his tests a failing grade even if he passed them.
He arrived at Iruka's class room as opened the door to find Iruka was giving a boy with his hair done back into a spiky pony tail who was dosing in and out of consciousness. Naruto could never forget that face as it was none other than Shikamaru Nara the laziest kid in the world if it didn't come down to what he wanted to do.
Iruka herd the door open and turned to look and what he saw was what he believed to be a ghost. He saw Naruto Uzumaki that had been told to have died by the other teachers but they were only rumors. But he couldn't of been more happy to see the boy alive and well. Sure a lot of people thought Iruka saw Naruto as the human incarnation of the demon that murdered his parents but deep down no one knew that he thought of the boy to be like a little brother.
Naruto proceeded to walk through the door and had gotten stuck for a few seconds as his new broadswords had gotten in the way. He mentally cursed up a storm as he had forgotten what Hosenki had said about walking through doors being a problem. But he freed himself and walked into the room at an angle so he could actually get in the class room. He then walked over to Iruka and pulled out the letter that the Hokage had given him to give to Iruka.
"Do my eyes deceive me or are you really Naruto?" Iruka asked as he received the letter from Naruto.
"The one and only and its good to see you too Iruka-sensei." Naruto said with a smile.
Iruka read the letter and was amazed that Naruto was still willing to try to continue his education to become a Shinobi. "Naruto if I may ask what happened to you two years ago you just disappeared as if you didn't exist!" Iruka said putting the letter in his pocket.
"It's a long story how about I tell you over a bowl of roman later." Naruto said receiving a nod from Iruka.
He then walked up the class stairs to the desk in the third row and took a seat next to a boy with jet black hair that resembled a ducks ass a wearing a blue crowned shirt who had his hands balled together placed up against his mouth as he pushed most of his upper body weight at his elbows. Naruto did not recognize him but he recognized Naruto as he was none other than Sasuke Uchiha the last of the Uchiha's and had developed a rotten attitude and a superiority complex.
Naruto had pulled a book that he had gotten the day before he had came back to the village and was enjoying it as some days he would be too sore on his travels from training too hard he would read as best as he could as he couldn't do too much else as it would make his muscles ache. He then herd a chuckle from his right he looked to find it was the boy he was sitting next to.
"You've got a problem buddy because I could swear that laugh was directed at me!" Naruto said as the boy chuckled even louder and harder.
"As a matter a fact I do you dead last looser you were too dumb to do anything and class two years ago so you run away and now show up carrying weapon you don't or probably ever be able to use and now your pretending to read you just should of stayed gone and saved yourself from the embarrassment of trying to continue what you'll never be able to finish as you are so far behind you'll never make up so do us all a favor and get lost dope." Sasuke said smiling as he believed that Naruto was nothing more than a dead last chump who was faking a new image to look cool and he would fail at everything he did.
"Funny! but I see a over confident jerk who is wearing a duck's ass on his head as hair so what are you hiding under there an over inflated ego or an empty head cavity either way you have just failed the first rule of being a Shinobi never underestimate your enemy!" Naruto said not taking his eyes from his book. Which pissed Sasuke off to no end as no one had dared to stand up against him when he delivered an insult.
But not a second later a small crowd of girls formed around Sasuke squealing and begging him to go out with them. But one girl with bright pink hair wearing a red dress with black ninja grade shorts that protected he vanity walked up to Naruto from the right and began to laughed at him for no reason. But that's when Naruto remembered who she was. Sakura Haruno the girl he had a big crush on before he left he village oh how he now regretted what he ever saw in her. Sakura's laughter died then her face went to 'I don't care who you are your going to get hurt bad'.
"Look at this girls this kid thinks he's better than Sasuke your nothing but a joke you think big weapons make you cool well they don't so I'm only giving you one warning move now or I'll make you move!" she said so full of herself.
Naruto then thought to himself he would move but he would antagonize her a bit more first. He the slipped his left hand into the pouch that he kept his book, smoke pellets, and gauze incase he had a deep bleeding wound and pull out a white pellet that he had invented a while back because when you add pressure to it it popped releasing a liquid supper adhesive that only too one only took one minute to dry and if it was on you're your skin and you were leaning against something one you would loose a good portion of the stuck skin and maybe bleed a bit as that is how strong it is and slipped it in his sleeve.
Sakura was now getting pissed as she believed Naruto was just ignoring her not that she knew it was him but he pride would not take that sitting down. "What are you deaf I told you to move!" she said not giving her any reaction as he continued to read his book.
But that's when Sakura snapped and through a punch directed at Naruto's face. But it did not connected as Naruto using left hand for his right hand was holding the book caught her fist without even reverting his eyes from his book.
"How pathetic and predictable of you trying to take a cheap shot at some one who is not bothering you in any way for what to impress the emo motherfucker next to me you gave me your warning Haruno now I'll give you mine I may have been a passive person and let you pick on me in the past but no more so listen here you failed attempt of an abortion I will not take any shit from you and I will not make an exception because you're a girl I will retaliate SO GET THIS STRAIGHT YOU PINK HAIRED BITCH I AM NOT YOUR PUNCHING BAG!" Naruto said with venom in his voice but still never looked up from his book.
But even so Naruto did not trust her so he made his hollow mask recede to just before the point it would exit his skin. And just as he predicted using her free hand landed a punch to Naruto's face. Every one expected for him to go flying out of his seat. But to everyone's surprise he did not even flinch as the Sakura's punch sounded like it had connected to a wall.
Naruto freed her had as she became to tear up as her fist felt like it just hit piece of concrete head on. Naruto was a little amused as he cried out in pain. One thought came to his mind. 'Fuck with me I'll get you back!'
Naruto then decided that now was a good time to move as he was about to implement one of his best pranks ever. Standing up he dropped the glue pellet on the seat and took two steps forward and said. "If you want my seat so bad you should of asked but remember my warning Haruno mess with me and I will retaliate." Naruto said walking away.
Sakura was perplexed that he knew her name but yet she did not know how he knew it. She never told him and no one else had said her name either so the question that came to her mind was who was he and what was he made of she mentally asked rubbing her fist as it was still in pain. Little did she know Naruto had just got his revenge as she sat down in the seat popping the glue pellet and didn't even notice.Naruto walked over to the next row and sat down next to a indigo haired girl wearing a heavy winter jacket with the Hyuuga clan's symbol on the sleeve.
Naruto noticed she was a Hyuuga and was about to hiss in spite as he had been done wrong by so many Hyuuga's and their gold white eyed glares. But she looked over at him and her beautiful lavender eyes not white like all the other Hyuuga's that had beat him in the past connected with his ocean blue. Just looking at her eyes he could tell she was not like other Hyuuga's as he eyes showed kindness, caring, longing, and sadness from the one thing that Naruto knew better than anybody abuse, neglect, loneliness, and pain that only hurts your soul.
She quickly looked away as her face turned bright red for she new exactly who the person sitting next to her was. Hinata Hyuuga heir to the Hyuuga clan leader if she did not get rejected and her younger sister took her place. She was shy and not very self confident as she had two traumatic experiences in he short life one being that when she was four a enemy ninja had attempted to kidnap her in order for their village to gain the power of the byakugan. But her father Hiashi Hyuuga (Such a dick) killed the kidnaper instantly. The kidnaper turned out to be the diplomatic representative from Kumogakure that just earlier today had signed the peace treaty between their villages. Kumo was not happy and demanded the head of the man who killed him.
Hiashi was about to give his life as agreed when the Hyuuga elders had told him that his twin brother Hisashi Hyuuga who was second to be born and was placed on the lower branch house for their could only be one heir. He was branded with the caged bird seal in witch it makes them obey the main branch house and destroys their byakugan if hey die. But instead they sent his twin off to death leaving Hisashi's only son and Hinata's cousin to be and orphan which she believed to be her fault as they were after her when her father saved her that she was responsible for Neji's fathers death.
But later that same year Hinata watched as her mother died giving birth to her baby sister. And on top of that her father Hiashi (Such a dick) turned cold and heartless. He demanded perfection from her and beat her if she so much a screwed up little did he know she was not a normal Hyuuga. (Bet you can't guess who she has). But it got to the point where he disowned her. She was taken in by a top Chunnine named Kurenai Yuhi that had be best of friends with her mother and acted like a mother figure now that her mother was gone.
That's when she laid eyes on Naruto for the first time. She was playing on the play ground when a blond boy about the same age as her ran passed her being chased by a mob of angry villagers wielding branches clubs or any blunt object that just happened to be on their person tackled the boy down and began to beat him mercilessly yelling 'DIE DEMON!' or 'YOU KILLED OUR LOVED ONES AND NOW ITS YOUR TURN!' she was too young to understand then but she watched as they beat him. But the boy did not scream or move he just let them beat the living hell out of him. They soon grew tired and left the boy where he laid believing they had finished him.
But as soon as they were out of sight the boy rose to his feet bloody broken with no one to help him he walked off with a look in his eye said 'This won't beat me!' as he pushed his broken body back to his home. That day Hinata had found a person she truly admired and envied at the same time. He was strong willed even though he had been beaten to the point that it should have killed him but he brushed it off like it was nothing. He had the heart of a lion and a will that pushed him to the point that he was a god of comebacks.
From that day on she followed his example and trained harder. But continued to watch Naruto from a far and soon he admiration turned to love. She trained and trained until her father noticed she had improved and was now showing promos as a Hyuuga. But that had been the worst and spirit destroying decision ever as her father treated her even worse now but she endured it. Then she found out Naruto had vanished which had destroyed her confidence in herself completely. But that was until today the boy she had fell in love with had returned and she would now continue to try harder. But regaining confidence and pride is not an easy task as her voice was weak and timid and he had a nervous stutter and on top of that if she was under too much stress or was caught in a situation that embarrassed he which was not hard to do she would faint.
Naruto noticed her blush and was puzzled but he felt he could trust her and feel safe to be around her. Plus there was a odd fore coming from her that drew him to her like there was something attached to her soul that made he unique. But Naruto brushed that aside as Iruka had ordered the class to be quiet.
"All right class before we begin today's lessons I would like you all to welcome back one of your old classmates who had left to train and learn abroad Naruto Usumaki please stand up!" Iruka announced as Naruto rose from his feet stunning most of the class room as most of the children's parents had told them to stay away from him the when he vanished they rejoiced and partied bringing their kids along believing Naruto was dead.
Naruto felt awkward but did not show it as he sat back down giving everyone his famous ear to ear smile that if they had been trained in the art of see through deception right now they could tell it was fake.
"Ok class to day we resume our chapter on jutsu theories and mechanics Naruto I do not know if you know this so you may leave if you want and I'll tutor you during lunch on what you have missed." Iruka said as he did not want Naruto to be completely swamped from information that he could not understand.
"Nah its cool I have this stuff memorized Lord Hokage was nice enough to send me a academy text books on all subjects while I was on the road." Naruto said as the other kids and Iruka were giving him the 'I don't believe you' vibe.
"If that is true Naruto can you tell us why hand signs are crucial when performing a jutsu?" Iruka asked as he had expected for Naruto to breakdown and show that he was lying.
"Hand signs are crucial because when performing a jutsu the hand signs are the keys that determine what element effect and to distribute the right amount of chakra so the jutsu will work but a theory is that once you have performed a jutsu a certain amount o times your body learns just how much chakra to use and to bring about its effect eliminating the need for hand signs." Naruto said not taking his eyes from his book but stunned the whole class as the Naruto they knew could never answer a question like that because he never studied but he had just proved that he was telling the truth.
"Very good Naruto that was very well said I applaud that you did apply yourself in your training abroad." Iruka said praising Naruto for his intelligence.
Iruka's lecture on the subject took up a whole two hours as he would stop and pick a random student and ask them a question on a piece of the chapter he had just read. But even though the subjects were boring Iruka made it fun as it was a lot easier to learn if it was fun. But Iruka looked at the time and saw it was eleven o'clock and halted his lecture fore today.
"Ok class lunch time we will continue where he left off tomorrow and after lunch is target practice and stealth practice you are dismissed!" Iruka announced as the student began to leave the room but came rushing back when they herd a scream.
The scream came from none other than Sakura as her chair was stuck to her ass and was not coming off. The other kids were overwhelmed with laughter as Sakura had just gotten something she had deserved for a long time. Iruka was left to remove the chair from he gluteus maximus in which part of her dress and under shorts were taken with it revealing he underwear. So she was given a pair of emergency gym sweat suite to wear over her ripped cloths.
Naruto had retrieved his lunch and had taken it and sat under the big oak tree in the court yard as everyone else got together with there friends and ate at the tables that were on the other side of the court yard. Naruto did feel a bit lonely but did not show it as he shoveled his food carefully as to not get any food on his new book.
But even though he was lonely what happened next was a shocker. As a small puppy came from under his book and was licking his face which Naruto didn't mind but was strange for a dog to be running around on its own.
"Hey Akamaru give the poor guy a break he just returned and the last thing he needs is a awkward situation on his hands." A voice said as Naruto looked up from his book and was surprised to see a few familiar faces an a two new ones.
