Chapter 2- Meeting with Hana
(Time skip Four years later)
Naruto slipped out his kusariama holding the handle of the sickle in his right hand while he held part of the chain about a foot before the weighted end in his left hand. The person he was facing was a man renowned for his usage in ninjutsu the famous copy cat ninja Hatake Kakashi. He stood across from him with a anbu issued sword poised to strike.
He had been training for a little over four years now. Kakashi told him that he was around low chunin level by now but he probably would not reach jonin level quite yet before they would have to go back to the village. The first year of training had consisted of chakra control exercises and the academy jutsu needed to pass the academy graduation exam once he returned to the village.
He had completed all three relatively easily and once he had all the chakra control exercises done those jutsu had become second nature to him. The hand signs were now not needed to perform those jutsu anymore.
The second year is where he had found the weapon that he now wielded the kusariama which was a bladed sickle weapon with a long chain that had a weight attached to the other end. The weapon was a truly masterful design, the blade of the weapon was pure white but the chain was a bright red color. It looked awesome which that was one of the reasons he got so attached to it. He had practiced with this weapon during this year it was very difficult because he had almost ended up killing himself many times when trying to attack with the chain part. It would always back lash back at him but after the long torture of trying to figure the weapon out the whole year he finally got it down pact. He also had learned how to throw kunai and shuriken really well in this time. The most fun he had in this year though was learning stealth techniques.
Third year had come so his training once again got much harder. Element affinity popped up in to the training regiment that was planned. Kakashi handed him a chakra paper to test out his affinity, he did not know how it worked at first but it quickly was explained to him. When the paper had crumbled indicating the lightning affinity Kakashi had grown and extra head very excited because he knew the most about this kind of affinity. The rest of the year was spent doing exercises to hone the ability.
The fourth year of training had consisted of learning some lightning jutsu along with more advanced techniques for the kusariama. So all in all the training so far had been a blast helping him to achieve his goals.
Naruto was cut out of his thoughts when a voice reached his ears.
"Snap out of it Naruto I'm coming" Kakashi announced. He came forward with a low swing of his sword. It was quickly parried though when Naruto flung the weighted part of the kusariama straight wrapping around the sword. He pulled back once it latched on trying to disengaged Kakashi's sword from him but it did the opposite as Kakashi pulled him in delivering a round house kick to Naruto's face sending him into a tree.
"Damn he is still way out of my league, it feels like I have not improved at all" Naruto thought. Kakashi caught the depression setting in on Naruto's face. He walked forward handing his kusariama back to him.
"Your getting better so don't feel so bad that I am winning in all our spars because there is a reason why I am a jonin in the first place" Kakashi said. Naruto nodded in understanding as he got up slowly off the ground.
"Today you will be teaming up with a chunin the hokage has sent to take out a camp of bandits, the reason I am not helping is because you need the experience not me" Kakashi said to his young charge.
Naruto just looked on not really paying attention to what he said but had heard him none the less sliding the kusariama away into a hatch on his back.
"So where do we meet this chunin at" Naruto asked lazily. He had not gotten much sleep the whole training trip, the only times that could be considered sleep for him where the times he passed out from training to hard or where he knocked himself out with his own kusariama. The weighted part of the weapon had collided with his head full force when he missed a swing at Kakashi making it come back which it did not leave a pretty sight. Kakashi had laughed his ass off but not for long because he had fried Kakashi's books when he slept.
"Yep you are to meet her at a northern town in fire country in two days" Kakashi said. He nodded in understanding although he did not want to stop his training just to do a mission with another chunin he knew it was needed to give him experience in the field.
For a ten year old he was quite smart even thought Kakashi liked to tease him by calling him and idiot.
"What about you sensei are you coming with" Naruto asked.
"I will be coming with you until about half way then I will be off to do a mission of my own that I received by message of the hokage earlier today" Kakashi replied. Naruto realized his training would be put on hold by about one week or more if Kakashi's mission took long.
"You don't have to worry though once my mission is complete I will meet you in this town" Kakashi said handing Naruto the mission scroll that had a little map inside. The map was easily read so he should be ok and would end up in the town by mid morning in two days.
Naruto looked over the map as Kakashi lead him back to the hotel room gathering up all their supplies and their equipment before they headed off to one of the big town's in fire country.
Two days later Naruto arrived at the town. The town was filled with fancy casino's and bar's of all different kinds. Kakashi had left on his mission a little over a day ago when they had stopped to rest for a second in a forest area near the border.
"I almost went the wrong way I am lucky my sense of direction is so good" Naruto thought sighing. Many things did not sit well with him and his major one was that he had wanted no interruptions with his training but no he was here getting a mission.
He walked into the town trying to look for the supposed chunin he had to work with. Naruto looked high and low for her but could not find any trace of the chunin in the village. Stopping in his tracks realizing something that he should have asked about to begin with.
"I never asked what she looked like, damn it now it's going to take forever unless the scroll has a picture of my partners profile" he thought grabbing the mission scroll out of his back pocket.
After looking through the same exact scroll many times. He kept telling himself it had to be their, it just had to. Their was no picture in it but Naruto was stubborn as he did not stop searching until he finally had enough chucking the scroll against a building wall next to him. The scroll never hit though as a giant dog jumped up and caught it before the scroll could have been damaged.
"Why did a dog catch my scroll" Naruto thought. The dog walked up to him placing the scroll on the ground in front of my feet. Naruto decided to just pick the scroll up and not worry about anything else. Once he slipped the scroll back into his pocket, the dog that had been sitting their in front of him waiting. It was liked feral dog wanted him to take the scroll back.
His train of thoughts were cut off as two more dogs walked next to the one. All three looked very similar like twins, though their were some differences like eye color and type of stance the dogs carried themselves with. Naruto studied the dogs intensely trying to figure out why they were here in the first but a voice rang out from behind him that would answer all of his questions.
"Looks like my dogs took a liking to you already" a girl that looked around sixteen said. He turned his head so fast that the girl thought he got whip lash or something. The voices from the town had faded from his vision all that he could see was the vixen in front of him. Even though he was only ten, he had spent most of his time around Kakashi a pervert who did not even try to hide it from him. So he knew a beautiful girl when he saw it and she definitely was the definition of beautiful.
"Are you ok because you don't look so good" the girl asked him. Naruto could tell from the tone of voice she used that she was messing around with him.
"No, I'm fine so who are you" Naruto asked. He did not know who this girl was but he would not turn down the chance to talk with her anytime soon. The girl gained a confused look on her face, which made Naruto look on in confusion.
"I am your team mate for this mission Inuzuka Hana and my partners thei are the three Haimaru brothers , didn't you know who was going to be you partner" Hana asked. He blushed in embarrassment of forgetting to ask anything about the chunin who now stood waiting for an answer.
"Haha no before I came here separating ways with my sensei Kakashi I completely forgot to ask who my partner was. I am glade that you were able to find me because it probably would have been a couple hours maybe even more before I even came close to finding you" Naruto replied honestly because their was no point in lying to her.
Hana did not know what to say to that response. She watched on as Naruto played with her dogs. This got a smile to form on her pink lips because of the kindness he showed her dogs. Her dogs absolutely liked Naruto because the dogs toppled Naruto over and began to lick him on his face pinning him to the ground in the process. Usually her dogs only did this to family members but even then not all. Only Kiba and her mom got the same reaction from her dogs but she thought nothing of it for the moment but it still sat it in the back of her mind because she wanted to know why her dogs liked him so much.
"Naruto do you want to go out and eat something so we could discuss the mission" Hana asked. Naruto looked up at her from his position under the dogs on the ground. He nodded deciding it was a good idea to learn what she knew. The dogs got off of Naruto once he asked them kindly to get off. The dogs complied but they still had their tongues hanging out as they followed Hana and Naruto to a place to eat.
They had found a Bar Be Q restaurant near the exit of the town. When they got a table and ordered they began to discuss the mission. After about twenty minutes of endless mission talk, Naruto was beginning to get irritated because he wanted to get to know Hana a bit but if they kept talking about the mission they were not going to be good partners.
"Can we talk about other things now because mission talk is starting to bore me" Naruto said cutting right into a sentence of mission talk from Hana.
"What would you like to talk about" Hana asked. They were only really working together because of the mission.
"Well I would like to get to know you, so how bout you introduce yourself and I shall do the same" Naruto replied. They both thought it a good idea once spoken.
They began talking about each other and what they went through in life so far. Naruto had found out a lot about Hana as she had about him. They got so lost of in talking to each other they did not even notice the lights went out in the entire restaurant.
"It's closing time you two got to leave" the manager of the restaurant said from behind the counter. They go up deciding to get a hotel room that had two bedrooms. The dogs could sleep where they liked and would not be told other wise unless they shit on the floor. Then the dogs could not sleep anywhere.
Once they had found a hotel which looked quite fancy. To them a room was a place to sleep and nothing more so it did not matter what the room looked like as long as they could get some sleep for the night.
While in the hotel room they did not sleep right away no, they decided to talk more about themselves.
Hana was growing fond of him even in such the short time they have been talking which wasn't very long but none the less if her dogs liked him when they had first me him then he could not be a bad person. Hana laid in bed wide awake even after the clock had struck midnight many things on her mind. She decided she would think more of it another time pushing the thoughts away falling asleep from exhaustion.
Naruto had relatively the same thoughts but he was still young and could not figure anything out so it will be a bit before he would act on anything.
"Hana is a strange feral person but she is kind, beautiful and sexy all in one" Naruto thought. He kind of liked Hana's dog like traits but he also liked that she did not have certain traits she described to him like her hair being spiky. He liked her hair how it was now it brought her looks out.
He drifted off to sleep a moment later without another thought. He missed the Haimaru brothers come into his room to lick his face before they headed to Hana's room to sleep for the night.
They did not think the mission to come would be nothing but a mission but it will be much more then that and what lies in wait will become known.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter, the next chapter will be longer!
