Chapter 5: Quiet tune of shamisen

Sunday, Full month passed.

Naruto heard a quiet knock on his door.

"Naruto-kun, are you wake?" Hana asked peeking behind the door. "Its time for breakfast."

"Okay." Blond boy mumbled and narrowed his eyes. His gaze hit the ceiling of his room. He raised himself to sitting position and looked around. He had moved in here soon after had met Itachi. Hana had decided that he had spent enough time at the clinic (after thousands of tests and questions of his pains) and now he would need his own room for his stuff and to sleep just like every other in the base.

His room really didn't have much his personal belongings. The bed (much more comfortable than in his old place or the one in orphanage combined together). Two shells one of them filled mostly with study scrolls. Another shell where his few own belongings lay. He looked through them and realized nothing was worth saving. Kakashi had brought them because they were in his place. Mostly junk that reminded him of his old life. Junk that he had gotten from garbage so he would have at least some toys and other belongings. He looked at them and smiled to memories of his old place. It was smelly, old, and full of roaches and mice but it was his. There he had been safe. No one would touch him there. One person had tried and Hokage had killed him personally. He missed it in a way.

He looked next thing in his room. It was a closet with all his new clothes. Hana had gone through his old ones and decided to that nothing should remain and was amazed that boy didn't have any disease from all the dirt he had on him. All the new clothes were neat and clean. He took some clothes and dressed himself quickly. Then he looked over at the desk that was facing the window. On it had few scrolls, sheets of paper, ink, few pens and brush. Outside, sun was shining brightly. Naruto smiled to this. It would be another great day training and learning. He rushed to bathroom to wash himself and rushed outside where Aunt Hana was waiting smiling. "Good morning." She smiled to the boy.

"Good morning." Naruto nodded shyly closing himself up again.

Hana felt herself so helpless. Every morning it was the same. She would wake Naruto, he would do his morning routine happily and soon as the door opened he would shut himself for good. What it required to boy to start acting more naturally around her?

It had been a full month since Naruto had taken into the base. So far, it had been the best month in both their lives. Naruto felt so secured with his aunt and had so much time training and studying. Hana was just as happy to be able to watch over her nephew. She always wanted her own kids but never found a guy she would want to father them.

During this month she had taken her time to evaluate him and Danzo wanted to know results today. But now, they needed to eat breakfast. Or others would eat it before them.

They entered the cafeteria. Today it was emptier than ever before while Naruto had been taken in. Most of the squads and were on duty leaving the minimal personal inside the base. Two squads. Eight ANBU fighters, Hana, Naruto and three doctors in the clinic. They would remain in the base until the worst-case-scenario, the village would be openly attacked they would deploy. Until that…

"Who wants pizza?" One of them asked holding a box that had a pizza logo on its cover.

"What's on it?" Someone asked interested. "If there's anchovy I pass."

They ignored this and walked up to serving line. Naruto watched quietly when Hana picked some sandwiches, green tea and a lemon. She had made sure Naruto would get enough of vitamins and eat healthy food so he would grow up strong and handsome as his father.

She looked for a table when she noticed Hakena sitting alone. Hyuuga captain was very cold, stuck-up even in her own clan standards. Only thing brought emotions into her was particular Nara who just got into her nerves. She didn't actually invite people come closer to her. But she was one of the best kunoichis there was.

"Greetings, Naruto-kun." Woman extended her neck politely. "Hana-san."

Naruto merely nodded and sat down. He reached for his tea and tried not to spill it.

"Where's Kakashi-san?" Hana asked looking around. There was supposed to be eleven people at the cafeteria before they arrived of the morning but one was missing.

"At the memorial stone." Hakena answered coldly eating her breakfast dignifiedly and with such grace, Hana felt like a kid with no table manners. Even Naruto seemed to have more manners than she did. "Such insolence." Hyuuga whispered angrily. "Direct break of protocol. None is allowed to leave the base when we are this low handed."

"Well, Kakashi-san…"

"You called?" Silver haired man appeared in a whirl of leaves to same table. "Yo." He raised his hand lazily. "Good morning Naruto."

Naruto nodded zipping his tea.

"Did I miss anything?" White haired man asked indifferently. Hana let out a sigh. Minato had always praised Kakashi as his best student but after his death, young man had completely changed. Or more accurately hadn't changed at all. He was still living in his pass. Not allowing himself to let go of the quilt he himself felt. Quilt for deaths of both Minato and Obito. Quilt for Rins disappearance. Everyone tried to encourage him to let go already. It had been over four years already. If this would keep up, he would probably continue so forever. Many of the people thought he would need a hobby.

"Nothing." Hakena glared him coldly. "But what if it had? What then? What if the Konoha had been attacked or the Twelve Ninja Guardians had tried another coup d'etat?"

"What if you shut up?" Kakashi said coldly and rose up. "See you later Hana, Naruto." He smiled his one-eye smile to them and ignored the others. "I'll be in the common room."

Naruto looked little confused from Hana to Hakena. Black haired woman was trying to calm herself down from her outburst. Red haired medic only shook her head. "So? What are you doing today?"

"Im practicing my shamisen." She answered gladly chancing subject. "There's upcoming celebration for one of the elders birthday at Hyuuga compound so they had asked me to perform something."

"I have meeting with Danzo-sama soon and later this mission at the hospital which may take some time and I need someone to look after Naruto. If you wouldn't mind helping me…"

Hakena frowned at this. "I remember what you did to Tenzo-san, Shiyaku and Kakashi-san when they lost him last time. I have no desire for the same fate."

"Don't worry about it." Hana placed her hand over Narutos shoulder. "Naruto-kun knows better than do that again. Don't you?"

Hyuuga woman saw how Naruto paled little. This was most open reaction she had seen ever from him. His stoic actions kind of amused her. If he had been Hyuuga, he would have been a child to be proud of by manners at least.

He nodded quietly.

"Fine. If he promises to stay on sight I will look after him." Hakena nodded.

"Thank you Hakena-san. I really appreciate it."

"Don't mention it."

After breakfast Hana led Naruto into the library. "I want you to stay here for a while and do your homework, okay? I have to do some research but I will be in this room so if you need anything, just yell at me, okay?" Boy nodded. He seemed having a question in his mind so she waited patiently.

"What… kind of research?" He asked looking up curiosly.

"There is a jonin in Konoha Hospital whose spine is damaged badly. I was asked to assist on surgery." She answered and had an idea. "Why don't you help me? It will be good practice if you want to become a medic-nin or something?"

Naruto only shrugged and nodded. They moved to another shell. "Naruto-kun, I want you to search books of human anatomy. If you find ones specialized in bones or spinal core, take those too. I shall go through these jutsu scrolls if I can find anything useful. Okay, let's get to work?"

Boy nodded again and started pulling books which seemed include right information. Library was a big hall which contained thousands of books and scrolls from various arts, skills and jutsus.

After two hours of search, Hana sat down opposite end of the table facing Naruto. Between them was huge wall of books mostly medical but few that had gotten Narutos interest.

"Thank you Naruto-kun." Hana smiled to him and took up first book. "I'll start with these. You can return to your homework… or if you want to help me that's okay too?"

He shrugged and grabbed closest book in his arms reach. Some times he had to ask what certain kanji meant being able to understand what he was reading. She answered happy of this chance to teach him two things at once. Human anatomy and reading. Everything was going fine until…

"Hana-san…" She raised her head after hearing her name called.

"Yes, Naruto-kun?"

"What's a 'vagina'?"

Red haired woman's face faltered from shock. "W-what?"

"Vagina?" He repeated. "Here says that sometimes 'vaginal pain' may radiate to spinal core." He read from the book. "I was just thinking…"

"We will get back to that subject in few years (decades) later okay?" She cut him off and waved her hand. She didn't want to go into 'birds and bees' just yet. "And don't worry. Im pretty sure that Maito Gai-san doesn't suffer from 'vaginal pains'." 'Or at least I hope so.'

"Okay." Naruto nodded and changed the page. "What's a 'peni-?"

"Okay!" Hana yelled loudly snapping the book. "Its time for lunch soon! Why don't we join the others, huh? You must be starving?"

He seemed confused of this. Her body language told him, she was embarrassed, scared and was lying about something. Why would she be like that? But he nodded in agreement.

After lunch, Hakena picked him up to the common room while Hana herself dressed up her armor and weapons, covered her face with robin mask and exited the base. Through the roofs of the Konoha she leaped towards the Hokage tower. On the roof she shushinhed herself directly in front of Danzos office and knocked.

"Enter." Female voice told and Hana frowned at this. 'Brown Ice is in the building.' She opened the door. Saito sat there filing papers. "Danzo-sama is waiting for you." She said coldly without even looking at her.

Hana walked pass her and entered second room of the office. After knocking she opened door and knelt before the back turned to her.

"It's been full month, Hana-san." Danzo turned around. "What is your report?"

She took a deep breath. "After month of close supervision of Naruto Uzumaki, I have come to conclusion for now. Of course his body will change in a ways we cannot really imagine so I suggest revaluate in few years times or revaluate him every now and then. Especially on his case because we don't know how his pet effects on him." Pet was codename for Kyuubi. "I believe his has talent for C-type of ANBU."

"C-type? I was hoping for an A-type."

ANBUs were divided by different types. A-types were frontline soldiers, berserks specialized in ninjutsu. Kakashi was excellent example of A-type. B's were genjutsu users like Kurenai Yuhi (not an ANBU I know but perfect example). C's used more taijutsu and kenjutsu (Gai, Lee and Tenten) but also well balanced in other areas. D's were medic-nins and other supporters. E's were stealthy not specialized in any kind combat but information gathering and assassinations. F's were those who didn't fit anything above.

"Naruto-kun does have large chakra reserves which would be great if he could control them but he has no control what we would require. He can hardly mold chakra longer than few minutes and has made almost none progress during this month. I suggest we concentrate on teaching control before we start teaching any jutsus. But he does seem very eager to learn taijutsu and kenjutsu. He likes to spent much time at the dojos observing others training."

"Has he shown any interest in any other area?"

"He is very eager to learn almost anything you tell him. I have concentrated more in his mind than in his body now and thinking keeping it up until he's above academy student in general knowledge."

"How long you think it will take?" He frowned.

"By our current phase I believe he would graduate from academy in… three years. (Danzo's frown deepened of this.) "He isn't what you would call a 'reading genius' but he likes to spend much time learning many things such as human anatomy, basic medical knowledge, weapon history … and many others."

"Do you have already deduced what taijutsu type fits him?"

"Well… he is yet to finish is grow but I think we should introduce him to some long distant weaponry and perhaps some basic karate and judo. I believe those will suit him before he reaches more figure. Unlike most of the children I wouldn't really make any bets on his body. Not yet. Especially when he's little short for his age."

"But he must learn some ninjutsu and genjutsu before we sent him out to patrol?"

"Genjutsu I think can be forgotten for… seven years at least. I don't believe he can learn the control

faster. He might be able to dispel some of them after… four years of learning. I suggest we ask someone with great talent in that area teaching him when he reaches enough control. And in ninjutsu I disagree. We can't say what pets chakra does to him if he uses it too much. Even if seal was designed so it would possible but we can't really be too sure."

"That's the whole point." Danzo said firmly. "Why else would we want him? And in your first quarter report you said that Tenzo-san calms him down. We give his ninjutsu training over to him and Kakashi."

"May I say something?" She asked. "I believe Kakashi-san is a mistake as ninjutsu teacher. He does know many jutsus but he isn't type of person who can inspire others to learn. And I… personally don't want to… have him influence on Naruto-kun." She whispered little embarrassed. "And I think there's a better person."

"Who?"

"Uchiha Itachi-kun."

"Itachi? Uchiha prodigy? Explain?"

After meeting Itachi, Naruto had somehow found attached to this cold boy. There was something… in his eyes. Sadness that he knew. Sadness of being alone. Sadness of being forced into something you didn't want to be. They didn't got chance to decide their fate before others did it for them. Other was trained to be a genius while other was forced to carry out something for others not having the respect he deserved. Either of them hadn't had anything near as normal childhood. So this weird chemistry thing made Naruto feel like finding a brother.

"Naruto met Itachi some time ago and has found him very interesting. I guess I could say he sees him as his brother figure." Hana explained. "He hasn't accepted anyone so much other than me or him."

"So you are saying that he is antisocial?"

"Antisocial would be progress." She answered. "I think its lack of people his own age."

"I don't even consider what you just said." Danzo said with firm voice. "And his training partner is still under his own training."

"Training partner? You mean one from NE division?"

"Yes. Im still narrowing down candidates who would fit best."

"I see."

"Is there anything else?" Bandaged man asked.

"No. That was all."

Danzo closed his eyes for a minute. "You shall return to your duties as captain of medical squad tomorrow. There is this mission which I need you to accomplish with other captains."

"Captains?" Hana gasped. "Are you suggesting that…"

"Here." He tossed her a file. "We have discovered something very disturbing happening at the Hidden village of the Mist. I need all group captains go there."

Red haired woman read through the file quickly. "But this says it can take full month to accomplish this mission. Who will-?"

"I will arrange Naruto-kuns caretaker." 'Its perfect chance to monitor him while you are not around.' "That was all. Come with the other captains to debriefing tomorrow morning. Dismissed."

"Hai." She shushined herself away.

--

"And you hold it like this. Now correct your fingers… NO!! I said this hand goes here! Not here! Goddamn child, cant you understand simple things!?"

Naruto glared at Hakena angrily but didn't say anything. It appeared that she was a lot more hot headed than many people first thought. They had been in the common room. She had played shamisen while he was wondering around. Not trusting to young boy, Hyuuga woman decided to use time effectively and placed her shamisen in his hands and started teaching him. It wasn't going that well.

"Why is it so hard to understand? Are you an idiot?" She mocked him.

"Shut up!" Naruto screamed angry startling her completely. "I don't even want to learn this stupid thing! Only an idiot would want to learn it! You are an idiot!" Then out of the blue he kicked her into her knee and run away.

"Aaah!" Hakena let go of her Hyuuga calm and took hold of her hurt knee. How the hell did that boy could kick her so hard? "Come back you stupid brat! Im going to kill you! No matter what others say! You're dead now!" She screamed and rushed after him.

Naruto run through the corridors trying to loose her but somehow she always found him even after so many turns and corners and hiding places. He thought it must have been some advanced ninja technique. He was only four years old so he didn't know anything about kekkei genkais like Byakugan. He only thought her eyes were weird.

After time that felt like eternity, Naruto was also impressed of her determination. No one in the village had been this obsessed of chasing him. He had passed roof already twice, hid himself on bathing area, storage, cafeteria and god knows where. He sure didn't. But always, somewhere a kunai would fly and nicked him somewhere.

Hakena was seeing red. It only happened when that idiot Shiyaku said magic word. She thought herself as perfect ninja and ANBU. She followed orders, was very capable in battle and most of all, didn't show any emotion. And she had thought Naruto would act like kids back at the compound. Everyone she knew had perfect control over their emotions. Just like nephew of clan head Neji. He spent all his time training which was admirable if you wanted to be a ninja. Even though his depression, unsociable actions and obvious hate towards the world and especially the main house were alarming. But even the children who didn't dream of ninja career, acted all timidly and respectfully towards the adults. True enough, she only knew Hyuuga children and now Naruto. Of course she had seen other kids playing but they were mostly commoners, one of the inferior clans or Uchiha even. Even though they were one of the founding clans, they act so commonly it almost disgusted Hyuugas but when it came to abilities they acted like there was no one above them.

But now she chased Naruto through the base like mad dog she promised herself to teach that boy some manners. Hana was too lenient with him. Boy was son of Yondaime and acted like an orphan from the street… which was true yes, but that didn't mean he was allowed to act like one. For gods sake how would his father react if he would see his only son and heir running around like that. She blinked and imagined Minato Namikaze laughing at her face. Yeah… that was more likely reaction than getting angry.

She felt something hitting her face. There was loud 'thud' and she closed her eyes in sudden pain.

"Go to hell you old hag!" Naruto screamed before disappearing around the corner.

"Y-y-you brat!" She rubbed her face. On the floor lied a book. "He must have stolen it from library when we passed it. Byakugan!" She activated her bloodline limit and veins appeared around her eyes. "Im going to kill you!"

She saw Naruto entering the cafeteria again. "Now I got you!"

Naruto turned his head around franticly. He had made a mistake coming here again. It had been very narrow escape last time and he doubted it would work twice.

"Hello! Naruto-kun! How have you been?" He looked up startled.

"What's the matter?" Shiyaku Nara asked confused expression on his face. "Are you lost? You didn't run from your aunt again did you?"

But before he could even shook his head a kunai flew through the air almost hitting boys head. Being highly skilled shinobi even if little original personality Shiyaku knew when someone was being targeted and how to act at such situation. So he took his own kunai and intercepted thrown kunai at same moment he kicked Naruto out of the way before leaping like a panther and grabbed the boy in mid air while holding another kunai in his free hand.

'What's going on? Assassin? Inside the base? Impossible! Does that mean someone betrayed us?' Then familiar feeling rushed down his spine. 'This feeling… it can't be… Oh God…' Hakena entered cafeteria look on her face that he knew too well. Hakena was seeing red.

"What did you do?" He asked from Naruto who was still trying to catch on how he had ended up in someone's grasp. "Ha-ha-hakena-chan… how wonderful-"

"DIE!!" Hyuuga woman threw full set of kunais towards the two.

"Run." Shiyaku stiffened.

"Who…?" He looked around when he felt someone pulling his sleeve. "What-"

"Run." Naruto whispered again.

"Y-y-you spoke! You can speak tha-" Another kunai set nicked his neck making him bleed. "We continue this later!" He jumped over the projectiles. "Hakena-ch-san! Please calm down."

He didn't get any answers. "Oh man! I just got from this mission and now this. My brother would call it troublesome." He looked around. "Okay, Naruto-kun don't panic! I've been in this situation before!"

'Really? Haven't notice.' Boy thought sarcastically rolling his eyes.

"Im going to throw you now."

"Huh?"

"Don't worry! I have it all planned out." And he turned around offering Naruto to wolfs.

"I got you now!" Hakena grinned like a maniac and activating her Jyuuken hands. "See! Men are pigs! Lazy, annoying, selfish pigs!" She was ready to hit him.

"Shiyaku you bastard!" Naruto screamed while watching hand closing in on him.

"Kage mane no jutsu!" He hit the floor hard. Punch had never come. "So you can speak. We were already betting who would be able to open you up. Guys will be so mad when they found out it was me." He looked up. Hakena was standing there seeming more relaxed than a while ago yet at the same time somehow tense. "Now, Hakena-chan. Please calm down and take a deep breath."

"Release me Shiyaku." She demanded angry. "Or-"

"Or what?" Shiyaku smirked. "You can't move anywhere until I release you. This is most simple version of my family's techniques and I can hold it up for hours. This is truly wonderful. I wonder what I should make you do…"

"Don't you dare…" Pine-apple headed man start shake like dancing.

"It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a! It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a!" Shiyaku made dance moves while she tried to protest but couldn't do anything but obey.

Naruto was confused. Few moments ago, she was trying to kill him and now she was… dancing? He couldn't tell. He looked back to Shiyaku who was doing exact same movements. His eyes turned back to Hakena and then back to Shiyaku. It was like she was mimicking him or something. But why… shadow? How come shadow was this long? It seemed to connect with Hakenas shadow. Wait a minute! It did connect with her shadow. Does that mean…

Suddenly long dark line started to withdraw back to its owners. Nara collapsed panting. "Damn it. I used too much chakra on the mission." He muttered. "Thought I had more than this."

Hakena was red but now from embarrassment. But to him, it was the same thing. "O-oyh Hakena-chan. You're not mad are ya? It was a joke! Joke! I did it to calm you down. If I hadn't done it you could have killed Naruto-kun here. Right Naruto-kun… Naruto-kun?"

Boy had disappeared somewhere but either of them had noticed. And Hakena decided he could wait for later.

"Shiyaku…kun…" She whispered. "Die." She activated her Byakugan.

--

Naruto took a deep breath and tried again. He moved plectra in his left hand while supporting the instrument with his right. Unique sound of the instrument was unleashed to quiet common room. 'Breath calmly. Take the handle. Move your fingers in right order. Move the plectra. Let the music go.' That was how Hakena-san had thought explained basics of Hyuuga style of playing.

"I didn't know you knew how to play shamisen." He was jolted by sudden shock and dropped shamisen. "You don't seem that good at it yet though."

"Itachi-kun…" Naruto muttered lowering his head a bow to boy in front of him. "You're back."

"Yes. Just now." He sat in chair next to him. "Since when you've played shamisen?"

"Today." Blond muttered his answer. "Blind-eye showed me how."

"Hakena-taichou? Yes. She is very talented what I hear. Many Hyuugas play shamisen due their very traditional life style. Uchihas don't that much. But my cousin is pretty good. I heard her playing once." Young prodigy told him. Somehow it was relaxing to speak with Naruto.

"How's… Sasuke… kun?" He added the suffix because he wasn't sure if he should. He hadn't ever met the boy and was pretty sure he never would or want to but he was Itachis little brother.

"He's fine. Playing with neighbors kids a lot. Wants to become a ninja just like me." He leaned back. He was dressed in fishnet shirt and black ninja pants. He had just come from a mission with Shiyaku. "He wants me to train him a lot."

"Why don't you… do that?" Naruto asked and looked depressed. "I… would always dream I had someone to play with me. Someone… to like me. But everyone always hated me. Tried to kill me and beat me. Your brother… lucky… "

"Im not so sure." Older boy answered. "My father won't give him enough attention and never trains with him but set demands. I've heard him once. He always compares him to me like everyone else does which is unfair to him. He is not like me. He… is a child. And should stay as one. But he is the son of Uchiha's main house. Everyone expects a lot of things from him."

"Aren't Uchiha's the people who have that fan on their back?" Naruto asked.

"Yes. That's our clan crest. All the Uchiha wears it with pride…"

"Then why don't you have it now?" Naruto asked curiosly.

"It's on my jacket, Naruto-kun. Should I were my jacket inside too? I would boil in there." He laughed quietly.

"But all other Uchiha's wear their fan always. Even in their shirts. If not their underwear's as well…" He added the last part muttered.

Dark boy snickered but it sounded like suffocation to him. "I guess some of us do. How's your training going?"

Naruto shrugged. "I… guess it goes well… you have to ask Aunt Hana."

"Ask me what?" They turned around and saw Hana standing there looking curious.

"About my training." He answered quietly.

Hana hadn't meant to interrupt Narutos moment socializing (when it actually happens) but she had heard her name and asked without even realizing it. "Hello Itachi-kun."

"Hello, Akahana-taichou."

"So, how was your day?" She looked around. "Where is Hakena-san?"

At the same moment a nurse from the clinic running towards them. "Hana-dono! We need you at the clinic. Shiyaku is injured!"

"How?!" She asked. "On mission-?"

"Impossible." Itachi stated. "He was in perfect health when we departed at the armory. Something must have hap- what is it Naruto-kun?" He looked at the boy who had pulled from his sleeve and then he quickly whispered few words. "Blind-eyes? You mean Hakena-taichou?"

Both nurse and Hakena nodded in understanding. "Lead the way. Naruto-kun, come I would like you to follow my work."

Boy nodded and he followed her. "Bye." He whispered and disappeared from sight.

Itachi leaned back feeling little guilty. First for dishonoring his clan. But he didn't want to be Uchiha necessarily if he could choose. Everyone knew him because he was an Uchiha prodigy. He never had any saying to this because before he knew it, his father was teaching him family taijutsu and ninjutsu. He only knew how to fight, kill and succeed on a mission. He didn't have any real friends expect for one. When for once he had played with his brother something he had no idea how.

Second reason for his quilt was enjoying so much for being with Naruto-kun when he knew that at home, Sasuke was now waiting for him to visit. He couldn't. He was on active duty ANBU now and had little or no time. He had also heard from retired Uchihas that rookies had even less free time but it would ease up after year or too. Before that they would be lucky if they would be able to leave the base off duty.

Third and final reason was lying to his father month ago. He had been called back to home for emergency meeting after he had met Naruto-kun. Fugaku had been suspicious about Danzo earlier in the meeting and asked about it and had asked some questions. Most of them involving late Mikato Namikaze. It had been awful dilemma for him. His father or Hokage. Order or family.

He had chosen Hokage. He knew it would take him down the road he would regret but he chose Hokage. He revealed nothing. Only repeated what was expected. There was lot of talk about foreign Jichuurikis in the base. But far as the outside world should know, Namikaze Mikato was dead and sound.

Itachi stood up from his chair stretching. He had guard sift in few hours little sleep wouldn't be bad. Damn this rookie ANBUs life.
