The Hidden Power
The Game
Hiashi, Naruto, and Hinata all headed towards the sealing room. Where Hiashi called the most dependable sealer in all the land, the legendary sannin, the sensei of the fourth Hokage, lord or the perverts, Lord Jiraiya.
He had set up the room many hours ahead of time, working through the night. Or so everyone thought, but really he was trying to sneak a peak at some girls at the hot springs. At the sealing room Hiashi was helping Naruto get reading for the genjutsu seal, to make Naruto look like a weakling. He moved to the center of the seal, the entire room started to glow from the chakra.
"Naruto, I think you should just hide your power, instead of sealing it away." Hiashi told the children, and sannin.
"If you say so, Hiashi-sensei"
The three, minus Jiraiya, started heading towards the academy. Hinata was scared, Naruto noticed this first. "Hinata, what's wrong, you look a little tense?"
"Nothing, just a little nervous. I've never met any of thee other ninja in the Hidden Neji."
"Don't be, you are one of the strongest ninja I have ever met. Someday you'll even be better that Hiashi-sensei"
"You really think so, Naruto-kun?"
"I know you will, don't you think, Hiashi-sensei?"
"As a father, yes I really think you will, but as a sensei, I know you will."
"Thank you father, Naruto-kun."
They then arrived at their destination. The doors were already open, for other parents enrolling their children. The ran into the Nara clan, enrolling Shikamaru. He was a suposed to be a genius.
"Hey," called Shikamaru, "you're Naruto, right?"
"Yeah, why? What do you want?"
"Just a game a shogi, get to know one of my classmates."
"Yeah, I guess so. Hinata, do you want to come and watch?"
"Yeah, I'd love to."
"Naruto," Hiashi called, "come here. Now just because you hid your self, and your strangth, doesn't mean you should hide your inteligence. I don't want the Hyuuga Clan to look bad, got it?" He whispered to Naruto.
"Yes sensei"
They went to a room alone, where Shikamaru had already set up a shogi board. They sat alone, they were half way through a game, Naruto had seemed to be giving this Nara a challenge. Between each of his moves he would put his hands together, indicating that he was thinking. Which meant Naruto had just ruined his past strategy. This absolutely amazed Hinata, she had heard rumors where shikamaru had beaten everyone at shogi. Even his own father, who is said to be the best strategist in all of the Land of Fire.
The game was close, they both only had 1 piece left, they looked at each other completely serious. They then started laughing, laughing like two old friend looking back over the past.
Naruto finally broke it wiped a tear from laughing and said "well Shikamaru, it seems you have finally meet your match. That went on for two hours, and it finaly comes down to a tie, we can't win with only one piece."
"It seems that I have, I look forward to playing again with you." Responded Shikamaru.
Hiashi, and Shikaku had been watching the two for about a half hour, both surprised by the outcome. Hiashi was surprised that Naruto had tied with a Nara. It's rumored that the Nara Clan had invented the game, and Naruto had tied with the most gifted Nara at their own game.
Shikaku was surprised that his son, the very son that had beaten him, had just been tied with. He just had to see these two play against each other again.
