Bloodline: Radiance
A/N: I want to thank everyone for his or her positive review. I want to address right now a few things. Hanabi is going to be very Occ as will Hinata just so you know. Hinata will be more confident, and Hanabi will actually seem like a little kid. Also I wasn't sure on their age difference but in my fic Hanabi is going to be six when Hinata is twelve. Also this will be a harem fic. I give a decent explantation at the bottom Authours note.
Chapter three
Two best friends lied on the grass under the starry night sky. The summer night air was warm but not hot and the seen was tranquil.
"So Naruto this is finally the year you join the leaf academy." said a twelve-year-old Lee. Naruto nodded beside him. "Well with the way the final test works the class you'll be in should be taking the final exam in six months. Mine will be taking it a few days after the start of the semester and then I'll be a Genin."
"My my confident aren't we." said Naruto with a sheepish grin. Lee snorted.
"My Gen and Ninjutsu suck, but my taijutsu is only rivaled by yours." said Lee. "And once I am a genin I will only get stronger."
Naruto nodded as he looked into the night sky. Despite the fact it was dark out and no one could see him he still wore his shades out of habit. "I know you'll get stronger Lee." said Naruto.
"And once you're a genin you and me will be the ultimate duo!" said Lee pointing his fists in the air.
"Uhh…Lee will be on different teams." said Naruto with a sweat drop.
"Oh yeah I forgot." said Lee rubbing the back of his head. "Well then when we are Chuunin!"
Naruto sat up from his position and looked at his friend. He was glad Lee had taken his advice and decided not to dress like their father figure Gai. Lee had bandages wrapped around his hands and ankles. The ones over his ankles covered his weights. He sported long black pants and a black long sleeve shirt with a V-neck cut. Once again Naruto was glad for being able to tuck him out of getting his hair cut like Gai's as well, he had a short ponytail and the front of his hair was pulled back accept for a few stray hairs that fell forward.
Over the years Naruto and Lee had grown very close to Gai. They saw him everyday and even when they weren't training with him he would show up for the occasional ramen bowl with them. Life was finally good for Naruto, he still got death glares where ever he went but that took a back seat to how happy he was spending his time training and pulling the occasional prank with Lee. And now he was finally going to go to the academy to become a shinobi of the leaf.
Iruka sat at his desk patiently. He had been with this class since the beginning and had seen them grow, and in six months most of them would be leaving. He glanced over at one of his top students Hyuuga Hinata. He didn't really know what to say about the girl, at first she was shy and messed up a lot of the time in class but then one day she just seemed to be good. She was currently a competitor for rookie of the year along with young Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke was the strongest male in the class and Hinata was the strongest female. The best academically was Haruno Sakura she was smart and quick witted but lacked in strength.
She was one of Sasuke's fan girls with her friend Ino. Both girls were practically at each other all the time, but there was still a deep undertone of friendship. They were both fairly good friends with Hinata as well. Chouji and Shikimaru were two of the best friends in class. They were both average shinobi, but Shikimaru proved that he was a genius in strategy. Shino was quiet and reserved while his usual desk mate Kiba was loud and brash. Over all Iruka loved his class they were entertaining and he knew that they would make fine shinobi.
This year looked promising and he was looking forward to a great semester until he read the new addition to the class. Uzumaki Naruto.
Now Iruka hated the Kyuubi with a passion but he was willing to give Naruto the benefit of the doubt. The Hokage had made that clear to him in an earlier meeting. The boy had not done anything to earn his scorn as of yet, but many teachers still regarded the boy with hate. He was not looking forward to the negative attention his class would be getting.
"No today I'll sit next to him forehead." said Ino.
"Dream on Ino-pig I will." said Sakura both of them were making their way to the desk when they noticed one thing. Random fan girls next to Sasuke already filled up the seats. Both girls looked at each other then they looked down. They walked silently over to their friend Hinata.
"You couldn't get next to Sasuke?" asked Hinata with a smile. Both the girls nodded. "Sorry for you guys then."
"I don't get you Hinata, your probably the second best student in class, and more or less have a chance a Sasuke-kun, why don't you go after him?" asked Ino. Hinata put her finger to her chin.
"Well then I wouldn't be able to be friends with you guys." said Hinata.
"That's a stupid reason!" said Sakura taking a seat next to Hinata.
"Not really I just don't have any interest in him." said Hinata. Both of the girl's jaws dropped to the floor.
"You're weird Hinata." said Ino and Sakura in unison.
"Hey could you to keep it down I'm trying to sleep." said a lazy genius. Ino and Sakura sent him death glares. "Troublesome."
Chouji who was eating beside his friend patted him on the back. "Yeah your right buddy." said Kiba to his faithful pet who gave a bark back in amusement.
"Okay class lets settle down." said Iruka. "We have all been together for a long time now and today we will receive a new student. You can come in now."
As Iruka said that the door opened. A boy with sun blonde hair and black sunglasses walked in, his hair was the same mess that their Fourth Hokage was famous for. He wore a short-sleeved white shirt which showed surprisingly well toned body for someone his age, and black cargo pants. On his side he had two fingerless gloves with metal knuckles attached to his belt. And if one looked closely he appeared to have a black diamond tattoo on his right shoulder.
"Hello I'm Uzumaki Naruto." he said greeting the class with a warm smile. The affects were instant to a few select kids in the class.
"Shikimaru…that's him the one I've told you about." said Chouji a little excited.
"Hmm…yeah he does look like you said…wonder if he is any good at Shogi?" asked Shikimaru.
Sakura stared ahead in shock, any immaturity that had shown when she was just swooning over the Uchiha was gone in recognition of the boy. She would never forget the one person other then Ino who had been kind to her. In fact Ino had even admitted that the boy was the one that told her not to hesitate in helping her next time she was picked on.
However the feeling of shock was replaced with the slight bit of worry remembering her mother's words. "Be careful with that boy." Echoed the memory.
Ino recognized him as well. She had met the boy briefly but in that moment she learned all she needed to know about the boys personality. He was most likely one of the kindest people you could meet.
Both girls stared at each other and then turned to Hinata to discuss things with their friend, as she was always good with advice. But what they saw surprised them even more. Hinata stared unblinkingly at the boy with her eyes wide. A faint blush was on her cheeks and then they heard her say it.
"Naruto-kun…is here." she said in a silent happy voice. She almost seemed to revert back to the shy girl they had heard she was at the start of the academy.
"Well Naruto you can have a seat…" Iruka was interrupted when another Chunnin walked into the room.
"Excuse me Iruka but the Hokage needs to see you." said the Chuunin.
"Oh okay…Mizuki take over while I'm gone." said Iruke. The teacher known as Mizuki gave a warm smile as the teacher left, but as the door closed that smile turned to an evil smirk. One fully directed at Naruto. Almost every student picked up on this but didn't say anything.
"Uzumaki go to the seat at the corner now." said Mizuki with venom. Most students visibly cringed never had they seen their second sensei act this way. Naruto didn't pay it any mind and silently walked up to his seat.
Almost the entire class period Mizuki asked Naruto questions no one in the class could possibly know. To the class's astonishment and Mizuki's disapproval he got all of them right.
"Alright we're going out for the taijutsu sparring now." said Mizuki in slight irritation as he directed the class outside. The class lined up to spar with another one of their classmates as their taijutsu instructor graded them. When Naruto's name was called they saw the same evil smirk appear on his face that had on Mizuki's.
The bully's in the class faces lightened up, as it appeared they could pick on this kid without the teacher's caring. "Your opponent will be Mizuki-sensei." said the Chuunin. Mizuki stepped forward looking pleased. Some students were surprised as they all spared with one another.
Mizuki took his stance. "Hope you're ready demon-brat." he said. As the instructor gave the signal to start the match Mizuki charged forward. He threw a punch but what happened next surprised everybody. Quick as lightning Naruto tied wire around the hand that was thrust out. He immediately moved to Mizuki's side and looped another part of the wire around his other hand. He rolled under Mizuki and wrapped it around one foot and then he jumped onto his back and tied it to his neck. It had all happened so fast no one knew what was going on. Mizuki was choking do to the wire, whenever he brought his hands up trying to reach his neck the wire pulled on his neck pulling it back more and lifting his foot up. When he moved his neck forward his hand would move down do to the wire that was attached to each other creating this cycle.
The instructor sneered at this. "I'm sorry Uzumaki but you fail this portion of class do to you used a weapon." said the Instructor.
Allwere surprised at the declaration as many of the students had used weapons. But some kids smirked at the obvious dislike that the teachers had for the boy. As a teacher released Mizuki from the wire something inside the man snapped. A loud smacking sound was heard. Everyone who was present eyes widened as the blonde boy was struck in the face by a punch. They were even more surprised as Mizuki continued to hit him.
"How do like that demon." shouted out Mizuki. Naruto was taking every hit not even attempting to block. Even as he was hit he showed no signs of pain. "I'll make you suffer you hell spawn."
"Mi-mizuki wha-what are you doing…this is against the Hokage." said the shocked instructor. Every student there visibly cringed as the boy was pummeled. "Mizuki stop this before you get into trouble."
"Shut up you want this as much as I do." ss Mizuki said this he took out a kunai and stabbed forward straight for the boy. A few girls screamed and looked away several instructors ran forward to stop him, but they wouldn't make it in time. Blood splattered the ground, and Mizuki's eyes widened.
Naruto had taken the kunai straight through the hand and was now grabbing Mizuki's wrist. Blood flowed from the deep wound and then a snap was heard as the boy broke the wrist. Mizuki grunted in severe pain and Naruto ran up his chest and kicked his jaw. Mizuki was sent flying through the air, Naruto jumped onto his chest and was riding him to the ground. Just before the body hit Naruto pushed off his chest with his feet sending Mizuki slamming into the pavement creating a huge crater. The Chuunin was instantly knocked out.
The whole training field was silent as students from upper and lower classes stared on at Naruto. Blood still flowed from his hand onto the ground. Naruto still showed no signs of pain as he turned around and walked to the out door sink. He grabbed the kunai and pulled it out of his hand, he then dropped it to the ground while he washed his bloody hand.
He took out some bandages that were in his ninja equipment pouch. Naruto then proceeded to wrap his hand. "Naruto-kun!" was shouted across the field. Naruto turned and saw Lee running up to him. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, this is nothing you should see the other guy." said Naruto with a smile. Instantly the tension that was in the air was deflated as the teachers told their students to go back to class. The taijutsu instructor walked up to Naruto and looked at him in the eye.
"I…I'm sorry that Mizuki took it that far." he said looking down.
"It's okay…I let it happen because I thought he just needed to get the worst of his anger out on me now before later." said Naruto. The Instructor stared at the boy. "You may not believe me but…I just want to protect Konoha…you don't have to try to hinder me as I will do all I can."
The instructor was in a slight state of shock at this. His mind was screaming at the demon, but his heart and instincts told him something different. He was probably the second most official person over the academy, so he would spread the word. Do not mistreat Uzumaki Naruto.
The whole class was discussing what had just taken place. None of them could believe that Mizuki would do that.
"Can you believe what just happened." Ino practically shouted this in Sakura's ear. Sakura looked up at her friend and remembered her mother's words from long ago.
"He's dangerous." replied Sakura.
"Yeah, but he was awesome the way he took out Mizuki-sensei." said Kiba joining in on the conversation.
"How troublesome." said Shikimaru looking over at his friend Chouji who had stopped eating. "Hey man, don't look so worried, I'm sure he's fine."
"Yeah I know…it's just that ever since that day I've wanted to meet that kid again and his friend." said Chouji looking down. "They were both so nice and I think maybe they could be my friends as well."
Shikimaru looked at his friend thoughtfully. He knew that he was Chouji's only real friend heck the same could be true the other way around. But many people still wanted to practice with Shikimaru, for the better part many just ignored Chouji.
The attention of everyone in the room focused on a blonde boy as he walked through the door. Iruka immediately stood up to meet the boy.
"Naruto…I heard about what Mizuki did are you alright?" asked the instructor.
Naruto just smiled. "Yeah I'm fine…I mean come on were gonna be shinobi we all got to get stabbed some time." said Naruto holding up his bandaged hand laughing. Despite the situation everyone in the classroom erupted in a series of giggles and laughs.
"Well Naruto if you want you can sit somewhere else." said Iruka. Naruto was about to say it was okay in the back. When Iruka responded. "On second thought why don't you go sit in the seat the third row above Hinata."
Naruto didn't say anything as he made his way up the steps and took his seat. He looked over at his desk mates. And a smile spread across Naruto's lips.
"How's it going Chouji?" asked Naruto. Chouji seemed shocked.
"Yo…you remember me?" said Chouji. Naruto nodded with a grin.
"Yeah…who's your friend?" asked Naruto pointing at Shikimaru.
"This is Shikimaru…he's my best friend I met him after I met you." responded Chouji. Shikimaru gave a nod in Naruto's direction. And class continued on, Naruto would talk to Chouji and Shikimaru more or less ignoring Iruka. He even played a game of Shogi with Shikimaru, the boy was exceedingly good at it and it ended up in a draw. Chouji who had watched was in shock as no one every tied or beat Shikimaru in Shogi.
The entire class period Naruto felt a set of eyes on him but he chose to ignore them. However he knew that it wouldn't be long before the eyes made themselves known. As class ended Naruto made his way for the door.
He was about to leave when a hand grabbed his shoulder. "Fight me." said a raven-haired boy. Naruto turned around and smiled.
"I'm sorry but no." said Naruto. The boys eyes narrowed.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because I injured my hand and it would not be a fair fight." said Naruto. The boy seemed to except this as he walked past Naruto he stopped for a moment.
"I want to battle you in a one week do you agree?" said the boy. Naruto sighed and nodded. As the raven-haired boy left Lee walked in.
"Hey buddy how you doing." said Lee cheerfully. "I saw that your youthful passion guided you in you heroic battle with Mizuki-sensei."
Naruto slammed his fist against the back of Lee's head. "Lee stop that you know that the way Gai talks freaks me out." said Naruto laughing. "But anyway lets go get some ramen."
"Of course Naruto-kun, today I shall finally beat you and eat more bowls." said Lee and they both left the school to get some ramen.
Iruka had been watching the boys why'll he put his papers away and smiled. "it seemed the Hokage was right, Naruto definitely isn't the Kyuubi." thought Iruka.
Sasuke walked through the door to his home with a small smile on his face. "My my did something good happen today, Sasuke?" asked Mikoto. Sasuke looked at the woman and smiled. She was probably the only person that would see his true smile.
"Yes, there is a new strong student that came to class." said Sasuke. "He agreed to spar with me in a week."
Mikoto let out a small sigh and shacked her head. "Well who is this new student?" she asked.
"His name is Uzumaki Naruto." said Sasuke. Mikoto looked a little surprised.
"Ah, yes he is strong." said Mikoto closing her eyes. "Be careful with him alright honey."
Sasuke looked a little curious but nodded anyway.
In a dark room two figures stood. The smell of decay and death was around them. "YOU BASTARD!" shouted out one of the figures as he charged the other. The other dark shadowy figure blocked his thrust and threw him to the other side of the room. The first figure spun in the air and pushed off the far wall with his feet. He flew towards his opponent throwing punch after punch. But the other was easily dodging them.
"Why why why why!" shouted out the still punching figure. "Why did you make me kill them!" There was such pain in his voice that it would hurt anyone to listen.
"What are you doing boy?" asked the figure. "you are wanted now, they will come and try to kill you, but I won't let them you are going to serve me."
"No!" shouted out the figure. "Who are you? Why did you control me and then let me live expecting me to serve you loyally? I will kill you I will never listen to you!"
"I wanted your power and potential." said the figure in a dark voice. "You will serve me, and to answer one of your questions…You will not have a choice!"
There was a flash of bright light and the figure screamed in utter agony…Naruto jumped up from his sleep panting heavily. A cold sweat covered his body as he looked around the room. He let out a sigh. "the dream…" he thought.
Every now and then Naruto would have this dream; he wasn't sure when exactly they had started, but he was pretty sure he was around seven when the first one happened. He had this dream or a similar one at least once a month sometimes more. He had told the Hokage but that didn't do too much good as he did not have the answers.
Naruto didn't know who the figures were as they were always in groused in shadow. He knew it wasn't a normal dream but he didn't care, it didn't affect him physically or mentally. It was just another thing he grew to accept.
One week had gone by in a flash and Iruka had gotten wind of the spar that Sasuke had wanted. Iruka decided to make it educational and approved of it so everyone could watch and take notes. Iruka had heard how the boy had first defeated Mizuki so told them they were not allowed to use weapons.
The two boys stood across from one another and took their stance. Naruto unclipped the to black fingerless gloves from his belt. He pulled them on and flexed his hand muscles. He put one arm behind his back and put a solid fist in front of him.
Iruka looked at the boys stance a little surprised that he knew that style. He wrote it off as things he needs to learn about the boy.
Sasuke charged forward, he dropped to the ground and tried to kick Naruto's feet out from under him. Naruto jumped over the kick and brought his single fist down. He went right past Sasuke's head and slammed the blow into the pavement. Naruto stood frozen in that position. Sasuke looked back at were the fist had struck and was a little more then surprised at the sight of a rather deep fist indentation.
Sasuke rolled back and tried to kick Naruto in the face. Naruto spun to the side to avoid it. The young Uchiha threw blow after blow but Naruto would block or dodge with little effort. Naruto finally went on the attack as he cocked his fist back. Sasuke looked confidant that he could block it. So he brought his arms up to shield his face. The blow was like a bull ramming him in the arms. Instantly Sasuke's guard was broken and he was sent flying back into the ground.
It was hard for Sasuke to move as he looked up at the blonde who walked towards him. Naruto stood in front of him with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to help Sasuke up. Sasuke regrettably took it and was lifted up.
"That was a very good spar you two." said Iruka. "Now can anyone explain to me what just happened."
"Sasuke got his ass kicked." shouted out Kiba. The boys in the class laughed but the girls shot him death glares.
"No not quite Kiba, can anyone tell me why Sasukes guard failed?" asked Iruka. Everyone looked clueless. "In the field you may be faced with an opponent who's physical strength is not obvious. Naruto had a lot more strength behind that punch then you may think possible for someone his age and size."
Many stared wide-eyed at Naruto. As the class moved back inside Naruto pulled Sasuke aside for a second. "This is only a suggestion but you may want to train with weights on." said Naruto. Sasuke looked at him curiously. "Sasuke you may not want to here this but I held back a bit."
Sasuke's jaw nearly hit the floor. "How?" asked Sasuke.
"You have good style and decent speed but weights will help you immensely." said Naruto as he walked away.
Class ended like always with everybody asleep at Iruka's lecture. As they were leaving Iruka took note that Lee once again came for Naruto and the two of them went out for ramen. Iruka finished up his work and decided ramen didn't sound half bad. When he arrived there he was a little surprised to see that Naruto and Lee were at the same stand.
"Ahh, Iruka-san its been a while." said the old man from behind the counter.
"Yes it has get me the usual." said Iruka taking a seat beside Lee. "so Naruto how long have you eating here?"
"Almost eight years now." said Naruto. Iruka was a little surprised he had never seen him before.
"Yep him and Lee are my two best customers." said the old man. Naruto and Lee smiled widely at this.
"Huhh, interesting." muttered Iruka.
Sasuke walked into his home a little depressed. "I take it the spar didn't go to well." said Mikoto.
"I got beat pretty bad, Naruto said I should probably use some weights." said Sasuke depressed. He clenched his fist. "I thought I was strong but at this rate I'll never-"
Before Sasuke could finish the last part a pair of arms wrapped around him. "Sasuke you are strong at your own pace…" said Mikoto in a soothing voice. "And if you want weights I got a special pair meant only for an Uchiha."
Sasuke's head perked up at this.
Authors note: well there it is hope you like I'm not to pleased with this chapter the next one will be better. I changed a lot of things okay. Sasuke is still power hungry however his mother takes that out of him when she's around. So basically he is not a total jackass. As for pairings I'm pretty sure it will be a harem but don't worry.
If any of you have followed my writing then you know I try to make the situation's real. So it won't just be were they all get married blah blah blah. It will develop, Hinata already has a small crush, Sakura is scared slightly do to what her mother said but that will change later, Ino won't think much of it at first but that will slowly develop, Tenten he will meet later and that will just work out, Temari isn't going to come right out and say it but there might be something political involved, and last is Kyuubi who you will all have to watch her feelings develop.
I'm doing this because I can't decide and deep inside me I want all of them to have him. Will not be corny with it, and it will only be a side thing the main part of my story is in his bloodline. Hope you like and review, I want to break 200.
