"… Maybe I could… Persuade you?"
"… Tempting… But no you pervert."
"C'mon Naru! Kaa-san just wants you to come over for dinner again!"
Coming to a stop within the middle of a dirt road, a blond haired crimson eyed teen turned his head towards his childhood friend Satsuki, who was staring at him with a pout, Naruto gave the black haired Uchiha a rather blank stare for a few moments before looking down towards his school's new uniform.
"Hey, is it me or does the girls have it easier with their uniforms? I mean, black blazer with a white undershirt and black pants? Who would think up something like that? In 32 Degree's no doubt." Spoke Naruto as he glanced upwards towards the sky before quickly exaggerating how hot it was by swiping his arm across his forearm.
Giving the teen a pout/glare combo, Satsuki slammed her hand against Naruto's shoulder.
"C'mon Naruto! Your twelve years old now! You can't still be scared of my kaa-chan from when she invited you over when we were seven!" Shouted the girl, causing the now twelve year old teen to simply look away from Satsuki.
"Me scared? Na, I was just going to hang out with Kasumi and Mito today. Seriously, the two of them just can't help but greet and hang out with their "onii-san" every day you know." Replied Naruto, causing the girl besides him to simply glare at him.
"You and your sisters? Please! They wouldn't notice if you had died for over two years. Just because you're in a civilian school doesn't mean they should do that to you." Grumbled out Satsuki as she looked up towards the sky, where the sight of a clear blue sky greeted her.
Shaking his head, Naruto nudged Satsuki a little before continuing on his walk with Satsuki.
"Hey. Kasumi-chan and Mito-chan can do whatever they want. Besides, it's not like I'm feeling neglected by the two of them, I mean, I have my little Uchiha to play with." Returned Naruto, causing the girl following slightly behind him to turn into a ripe tomato as she glared at the blond haired Nin's back.
"S-s-shut up! I'm nobody's little Uchiha!" Shouted Satsuki, causing Naruto to grin as he spun himself around and placed a firm hand on Satsuki's head before ruffling it slightly, causing her neat single waist length pony tail to become messy at the top.
"Awe… I thought you were my personal Uchiha though? And you are shorter than me so it kinda works ya know." Chuckled Naruto as he rubbed his favourite Uchiha's head softly, causing said Uchiha to glare at him.
"Why the hair? Do you not know how long it takes to keep it looking as good as it does?" Asked the girl, causing Naruto to let out a small smirk as he removed his hand from her head and into his pocket as he gave the girl an eye smile.
"Nope! Sorry, but spiky blond hair is really easy to maintain." Replied Naruto as he casually whipped his head sidewards, causing his spiky blond lock's to stay within their natural spiky form, causing the black haired uchiha girl to grit her teeth slightly before glancing past the teen.
Letting out a slightly sad stare, Satsuki returned her attention back towards Naruto, who was giving a similar stare, before letting out a small solemn smile towards her.
"I know Satsuki… But we couldn't save them all…" Muttered Naruto silently as he stood in front of the Uchiha grave ceremony where dozens or so Uchiha were standing silently as they prayed for their lost loved ones.
Seeing this, Satsuki nodded slightly.
"Yea… They were going to launch a coup… Itachi-nii-san did what was right… But he didn't have to bisect your arm you know." Grumbled out Satsuki as the image of a nine year old Naruto appeared within her mind for a moment.
Said image was Naruto using his body to save a fellow Uchiha child who had been unlucky enough to be found by Itachi.
Even then, after Itachi had cut Naruto's arm he instantly bolted. Probably due to the shock of the hokage's kid appearing from out of no-where and the soon to be arriving anbu squads.
Letting out a grin, Naruto lifted his right arm up slightly before tensing, showing a slightly obvious bump in his long black blazer.
"What can I say? I heal fast." Replied Naruto with a grin, causing Satsuki to simply shake her head slightly before moving the few tiny bands of hair out of her eyes.
"You…. Are too reckless you know? If it wasn't for you training me I would think you're a person who gets off of near death." Replied Satsuki, gaining a shrug from Naruto.
"Meh, probably am. I mean, you haven't been able to defeat me even when I put handicaps on myself." Replied Naruto, causing the Uchiha girl to stomp her foot as she placed a hand on her hip.
"Well for handicaps it doesn't matter mister "Yin-Yang" master! What's the point of putting handicaps if you're going to use loop-holes to use them anyway? "Oh, I'll not use my hands today, oh but I never said chakra hands did i?" or "I won't use my chakra… But Kurama's chakra is fair game." Need I go on further dobe?" Asked Satsuki, gaining a small twitch from Naruto. However, before the blond could open his mouth, another voice cut in.
"You know Satsuki-chan that dobe is Sasuke's nickname to Naruto-kun. Isn't that right Sasuke-chan?" Questioned a woman, causing a silent near teen besides the woman to simply let out a huff as his black eyes met the now blue eyes of Naruto, who was giving the older teen a grin.
"Teme… How's the academy going?" Asked Naruto, grinning internally as he watched Sasuke let out a small shiver as he and his mother walked towards his twin and their friend Naruto.
"Hn…" Replied Sasuke, causing the blond haired teen to nod.
"Ok… I guess the whole fangirl thing would get to a breaking point eventually… Oh well, not my problem." Finished Naruto off with a grin as he lifting his arms above his head before securing them around Satsuki's neck with a wink.
This gained Naruto a swift elbow to the gut, causing the twelve year old to let out a small gasp as he took a single step away from Satsuki before rubbing his stomach where the impact immerged.
Giving Satsuki a stink eye for a moment, Naruto let out a small smile before giving Mikoto, who had been watching the events take place with a grin on her face, a short and crisp bow.
"Hello Mikoto-sama." Spoke Naruto, moving from his bowing position before standing up straight with a grin on his face, allowing the woman to move forwards slightly before giving his cheek a pinch.
"It's nice to see you Naruto-kun…. But I would appreciate that you don't tease Sasuke-kun here about his troubles in the academy…. And stop bullying little Satsuki-chan too." Cooed out the woman as she pulled Naruto's cheek a bit, causing the teen to cry out for a moment before the woman let go of his now burning cheek.
Giving a soft smile, Mikoto pulled Naruto into a hug as she lowered her head down so that her chin was wresting besides Naruto's head.
"Thank you Naruto-kun… Thank you for being here…" Sobbed out the woman as she held the soon to be teen to her body as silent tears fell down her eyes.
Rubbing the widow's back softly, Naruto nodded his head gently.
"It's hard to bare alone… Which is why I won't let any of you bear it yourselves." Muttered Naruto softly as his eyes briefly glanced over towards both Satsuki and Sasuke, who both had two separate reactions with Satsuki gaining a small blush and smile on her face while the ever stoic Sasuke simply huffed before looking away, hiding his small smile from everyone.
Letting the Uchiha leader weep for a few more moments, the blond haired teen moved himself away from her, leaving the Uchiha woman staring at him with a set of sharingan eyes which revealed how thankful she was to have him there supporting her family.
"Thank you Naruto…" Mumbled out Mikoto softly as she walked towards the graves where the fallen Uchiha's were buried.
Seeing this, Naruto nudged his head over towards Mikoto's direction before glancing between the two siblings.
"You know you're supposed to pay your respects now right?" Blandly spoke Naruto, causing the two teens to simply give the blond haired teen a blank stare before Sasuke began to walk forwards after his mother.
"Hn… Don't take too long dobe." Replied Sasuke as he walked deeper into the cemetery, leaving behind Satsuki and Naruto as they watched Sasuke's form disappear within the weeping crowds.
Because he was focused on Sasuke, Naruto couldn't react to the sudden pull he had towards the cemetery before he glanced down towards where his arm was held in a vice-like grip by his friend Satsuki, who gave him a blank stare.
"You're a part of our family you know… So you can also be with us here." Grumbled out Satsuki as she pulled Naruto's arm towards her family, of which were waiting for the two to appear.
And as soon as they did? The whole group began to pray for their loved ones, and with Naruto's case, possible comrads. Although, he knew that these specific people had been thinking of going against the village, thus the reason they were dead.
Holding his prayer as he briefly glanced over towards Satsuki, Sasuke and Mikoto, Naruto let out a sombre stare before shaking his head as he glanced down to one specific grave.
"Fugaku Uchiha"
Letting out a tiny glare at the name, Naruto released a small sigh as he finished his prayer and looked up towards the cloudless sky.
"Although you were planning to attack konoha… You were still fellow shinobi… Fellow shinobi who had left their families behind to grieve because of your actions." Thought Naruto for a few moments before shaking his head and looking towards Mikoto and her children.
Letting out a soft smile, Naruto let out a small tear.
"Back in my world… Over five years ago I hadn't felt any form of family love… So thank you for showing me what it was like…" Thought Naruto with a small smile on his face as he moved his vision away from the grieving family once more before setting his gaze up towards the sky.
(Few hours later)
"Math... Japanese… And business homework… Guhh! How the bloody hell does a civilian actually live with this?! Sure I was a civilian, but I was drafted into the shinobi core because I wanted to! Thank every possible deity for that decision!" Shouted Naruto internally as he glared down towards his bag, which was still full of school books which were waying the bag down slightly. However, to Naruto, the books within the bag carried over tones worth of weight down in his bag.
Raising a hand up to brush his hair, the teen let out a small sigh as he came across the Namikaze home.
"I know I dabbed into every field, including regular civilian ones, but actually going in depth with the civilian ones? Oh kami…" Muttered Naruto tiredly as he moved in front of the house door before pulling a small key out from his pocket, where he then placed said key into the house's lock, which caused a sudden cracking sound to be heard as the fuinjutsu markings within the key opened the door for the teen.
Wiping the small bit of sweat off his forehead, the teen then began to walk towards the stairs leading up towards his own room, only to feel a sudden weight sit down on his back.
"Naru-chan… Where do you think you're going?" Purred out a woman's voice, causing Naruto to mentally twitch slightly before shaking his head and sighing.
"Going to my room so that I can finish the homework I have due in a few days. Aside from that? Maybe talking with Satsuki in the morning." Replied Naruto in a bored tone as he moved forwards towards his room, only for him to not move a single each as muscle as he felt a pair of arms snake around his chest before feeling a pair of teeth bite down on his neck gently.
Not even reacting, Naruto continued to let out a bored stare as he kept his gaze directed towards the stairs leading up to his room.
"If I hadn't known any better, I would call you a vampire Mito-san." Sarcastically muttered Naruto as he turned his head slightly, showing his blue coloured eyes towards his sisters violet coloured ones as she grinned at him.
"Nii-san… Why don't you just let me have my way? You know that as the princesses of konoha me and Kasumi-chan get whatever we want? So, if we say come to bed with us… You best well come to bed with us. I mean… It's only fair since your strong nee-chan's are going to protect the village while you enjoy a nice and peaceful life here in konoha." Purred out Mito, causing Naruto to simply give his sister a small blank stare… Before breaking from her grasp and grabbing onto her form before slamming her against the wall with his eyes now showing a crimson colour as he brought his mouth to his sisters neck before nibbling on her neck while letting out a growl.
"Keep talking… And I'll make sure to leave nothing of you left… I'll destroy your chances of being a shinobi… Got that "nee-chan?" Growled out Naruto as he dropped his sister onto the floor, leaving the red haired twelve year old to glare at him… Before quickly getting up and slamming a fist into Naruto's gut, causing the teen to "drop" to his knees in pain.
Letting out a smirk, the red haired girl stood in front of her brother dressed in her regular pj's, being a red button up shirt with red pants, before moving her foot towards her brother's chest, where she then pushed him back onto the floor with him staring up at her as she lowered herself down onto him.
Moving her face closer towards her brothers, the red haired girl let out a small giggle.
"My nii-san… That was sooo scary you know… I think I almost felt a shiver up my spine at your evil red eyes… But don't forget nii-san… You aren't important to our family… So… Know your place." Whispered Mito into Naruto's ear, causing the blond haired teen to twitch slightly as he felt his sister lay a kiss on his cheek, much to his irritation as he simply laid there and took it.
He couldn't exactly hit his sister into next week since there would be questions regarding how he suddenly had gotten strong enough to manage to fight his sister off when he had no formal training of the sorts.
Of course, during the genin exam he planned to enter and smash the records, but because it's an exam he could pass it off as secret training.
However, him kicking his dominatrix like sister's ass randomly? Yeah, that's suspicious.
Feeling the weight of his sister get off of him, Naruto let out a small sigh before pushing himself up onto his legs before moving to walk up the stairs… Only to find his other sister standing at the top of them with a blank blue eyed stare aimed directly towards him.
Within said blank eyes were the emotions of irritation and disappointment.
Ignoring her look, the blond haired teen walked up the stairs towards his room before he easily moved past his blond haired sisters form, of which hadn't moved in the slightest since she had seen Naruto.
However, just as Naruto grasped his door handle, he felt Kasumi appear behind him.
Letting out a sigh, Naruto ignored her presence before opening his door and walking in, shutting it in the face of his sister, however, she instead kept it open with her foot.
Letting out a small groan, Naruto walked towards his beg before sliding in to it, before ducking his head under the covers.
"Ehh… Sleep…" Groaned out Naruto, causing the blond haired girl to narrow her eyes.
"I can't believe that I'm related to you…" Grumbled out Kasumi in an irritated voice as she slammed Naruto's bedroom door closed, leaving the blond haired teen to let out a small chuckle as he propped his head over his covers.
"Even if I hate them a bit, I still find it funny. Even Mito trying to rape me is also a bit fun." Chuckled Naruto out loud as his eyes panned over towards his right, where a calendar with a specific date a few months later on would appear.
Letting out a smirk, Naruto tucked his hands behind his head slightly before falling asleep. His final thoughts being.
"Few more months… And the civilian shinobi will make his appearance dattebayo!" Chuckled Naruto as his eyes once more panned over towards his desk where a signed document stating that he was able to take the genin exam test was laying down gently on the table, just sitting under a slightly heavy paper weight.
Letting out a yawn as he laid underneath his blankets, the blond haired teen shifted himself slightly into a sitting position before making some room to lift his right palm upwards into the air, before sending a small burst of energy which then formed a pitch black orb about the size of a fist.
Narrowing his eyes at the orb, Naruto felt the chakra manifestation begin to shake slightly before fracturing at random points before breaking all together where it then dropped onto Naruto's palm, where it then began to disappear as mist.
Clenching his hand, the blond haired teen released a small tired sigh.
"Way too much energy… And I know that I'm missing something to keep the blasted thing stabilised… Just gotta figure what it is…" Grumbled Naruto before laying himself down onto the bed as he shut his eyes.
"Whatever… It's a problem for later." Remarked Naruto mentally as he felt sleep claim him.
"… Never thought I would see that ball again… Just one surprise after another Naruto…" Laughed out Kurama as his crimson red eyes watched a sleeping Naruto on the floor, just besides his pillow.
Grinning slightly, the fox used a single one of his long tails to gently lift Naruto off the floor and onto his side, where the teen's mindscape form shifted to laying against the fox.
Shaking his head, Kurama fell asleep once more.
(…)
"Isn't that the Kyuubi brat?"
"What's he looking so smug for?"
"… Why is it that he seems… Happy about something?"
"Maybe it's the Kyuubi! Yondaime-sama must know of this."
Walking silently down the straight road of konoha, Naruto Hayabusa strode forwards with a small smirk displayed on his lips as his eyes focused on one single destination as he held his hands within his pockets where he felt the texture of a piece of paper within the grip of his right hand.
Walking past the regular civilians of konoha, Naruto kept his gaze firmly directed towards the hokage tower/academy where the gates were only a few blocks away.
Shutting his eyes as he walked, the blond haired teen let out a small relaxed breath of air as he felt himself simply shine as he walked towards the academy.
He hadn't felt this feeling since he had first attended the academy back when he was younger… It was a combination of both nostalgia and happiness that seemed to simply radiate towards him before sweeping him up into a nice snug hold, melding all the joy he felt into his very core…
It was an amazing feeling for him as he walked forwards towards the academy.
Taking a momentary stop and glancing towards the left, Naruto caught the sight of himself.
Letting his eyes relax and thin slightly, Naruto let out a small laugh as he turned his head back towards the academy before continuing his walk.
Back in his world, he was always silent as a kid, wanting to be the best at being a true "ninja" that could take on anyone and win… But looking back at it now, as he grew older and gained more strength… He wanted to be known for his power, his effort into achieving the feats he had accomplished.
He knew that somewhere, in the back of his mind, that he wanted to be noticed. To be known as the strongest shinobi to ever live. He wanted to be known as the man who had saved thousands of lives, while also being a killer who would not be afraid to cross the line when it was required to do so. He wanted the world to know who he was… And this time, he would show the world.
No longer would he be the "devil" hidden within the darkness of the world, no longer would he be the buffoon who would simply irritate his opponents to death.
No… This time… This time he was going to show the world who he was… And he would be doing it under his own terms… Under his own name… The name his summons had given him when he became close to them…
He was Naruto Hayabusa. A ninja forged through his own determination and life… Only this time… He was living his life through a person born from the fourth hokage and his wife.
But he knew who he was. He knew what defined him into being what he was…
And that… Will never change as he lived… But… It didn't stop him from having fun this time around. Now did it?
Grinning down at his garbs, Naruto continued to walk forwards as he felt a small gust of wind rattle his white jacket with the emblem of his seal printed in crimson red where his stomach was, thus giving those a look at the seal he had directly over his stomach.
Below the white and red hooded jacket, was a single white sleeve shirt devoid of any identification marks, however, going down, the pants being a pitch black colour, neatly having white medical tape wrapped around the ankles where the black pants were then also tucked into a set of shinobi sandals.
Grinning as he walked, Naruto flipped his white hood forwards, which in turn covered his face as he let his eyes shift from blue to crimson red, causing all those around him to see nothing but a set of glowing crimson eyes from beneath his hood, much to his amusement as he watched people twitch in momentary fear before collecting themselves and walking away.
Shaking his head beneath the hood, Naruto's eyes panned over towards the entrance of the academy where he felt a smile stretch across his face.
Flipping his hood back, Naruto let out a set of double eye-smiles.
"Yo! Satsuki! Sas-gay! Mikoto-oba-chan! Great to see ya!" Shouted out Naruto, causing the three mentioned people at the front of the gate to turn towards him… Before two of them let out a set of glares while one was snickering slightly.
Reaching the trio in front of the gate, Naruto was met with a customary punch to the face from Sasuke and a slap from Mikoto.
Glaring, Sasuke shook his head.
"Dammit Naruto… Stop calling me that you dobe!" Shouted Naruto as he pointed his finger towards Naruto, who simply shrugged his shoulders.
"Not my fault you give the impression off… Or if you're not an up the ass-lover you must be a sis-con or kaa-con. I mean, those are the only women you talk to~ Sasuke-chan~" Cooed Naruto as he nudged Satsuki slightly with his elbow, only to get a punch across the cheek from her as she glared at him for the comment.
Giving the girl a look of betrayal on the floor, the teen shook his head before standing where he felt himself enveloped into a hug by Mikoto.
Feeling the woman hold him, Naruto returned the gesture before pulling the woman against him.
Smiling into the woman's shoulder, Naruto stood there silently before feeling Mikoto pull herself away from him, revealing a smile towards him.
"Good luck… Naruto…" Mumbled the woman, causing the teen to grin slightly before jabbing his thumb towards his heart.
"Thanks for believing in me Mikoto… But…" Mumbled Naruto softly as he moved away from Mikoto to stand besides both Satsuki and Sasuke, who looked at him curiously, before he gave a thumbs up towards Mikoto before letting out a happy toothy smile.
"But I know that a kaa-chan always believes in her kids… So I don't need for you to say it." Replied Naruto with a soft smile as he quickly grabbed the two Uchiha besides him before turning around and dragging them towards the academy front entrance.
However, just as Naruto reached the spot, he quickly flipped his hood up before turning around for a few seconds and sending the shocked Mikoto a quick crimson wink, before disappearing inside of the building with Sasuke and Satsuki, both of whom were shocked at Naruto's admission of thinking that their mother was a mother to him.
At the front gate, the Uchiha head let out a small smile as she gazed longingly towards the academy entrance with a tear built up within her right eye as she clasped her hands together silently.
"You were a blessing Naruto… To all of us…" Mumbled Mikoto silently as memories of a seven year old Naruto appeared in her mind playing with both Satsuki and Sasuke, along with Itachi, before changing towards memories where Naruto was teaching Satsuki and Sasuke how to play go and shogi along with other games.
Even then, the memories of a tired Naruto and Satsuki appeared within her mind, and at points with Sasuke also mixed into the fold since Naruto had become his friend.
And finally, the memories of Naruto staying with their family when the uchiha massacre occurred and helping them with the grief and pain of losing loved ones.
Shaking her head, Mikoto looked upwards towards the sky where the sound of a bird screeching was heard.
And as the Uchiha woman gazed up towards the sky, she saw it. The falcon flying up above the ground flying without any restrictions and hesitance in its movements as it scoured the lands below from up above.
"Mikoto? What are you doing here? Dropping off Sasuke-kun?" Asked a voice behind her.
Shaking her gaze from the falcon above, the black haired woman quickly wiped her eyes before turning towards the owner of the voice.
Letting out a small smile, the woman gave a small wave.
"Hello Kushina. I just dropped off my kids for the final graduate exams… And since I felt Satsuki-chan might as well get a chance at the genin exam, I had written up a clan head exemplary that would allow her to take part in it. What about you? Did you drop off your two kids already?" Asked Mikoto, gaining a nod from Kushina before she gained an evil grin.
"Hehehe… Yep! But since I wanted to see my little girls during their first exams I asked Minato-kun to create an invisible viewing room for all the adults to watch their children… Buuut I kinda forgot to tell anyone about it… So… Do you wanna come with and watch your kids?" Asked Kushina with an evil smirk on her face as she imagined the possible blackmail she could gain hold over her daughters for how they do in school.
Blinking, Mikoto nodded with a smile.
"That would be great Kushina… Thanks for the offer." Replied Mikoto with a small smile, gaining a massive toothy grin from Kushina along with a thumbs up before the black haired woman felt her friend drag her off to who knows where.
And that is it. Hope you enjoyed the story and I hope to see you all later for all the support you all have presented me with.
