Chapter 2. Swinging from the gallows pole
"Hiruzen, are you quite certain about this coarse of action?" Koharu Utatante asked her long time friend and team mate with a slight tone of concern. "Have faith in the boy Mura-chan, most likely he will abandon the Namikaze name," Both Koharu and Homura send a glare at a sheepish Hiruzen. "Along with those WORTHLESS students of yours, but he should still take the Uzumaki line up again."
"And adding the idea of any and all of these strange girls as his wife's may grease the wheels." Homura Mitokado adds with a pervy leer. "...Baka..." Koharu mumbles at her idiotic friend before sighing softly. "I just wish we could have done more... I was his mothers SENSEI for Kami's sake."
A soft knocking interrupts her melancholy mood. "Hokage-sama, Uzumaki-san and his...friend have arrived." Sarutobi stands tall. "Send them in." As the door opens, a bare footed blond walks into the room followed by a gray haired young girl with most of her body covered with frayed bandages, a tattered black kimono with an odd silver insignia and knee high black boots and a black collar. The oddest thing about the girl were the large and menacing looking claws she wore on her hands.
"Still going around bare footed Uzumaki-kun?" Koharu asks with a jovial tone. " Part of my fighting style Utatante-dono." Naruto turns to the Hokage and bows slightly. "Reporting as ordered Hokage-sama." Sarutobi sighs slightly at the cold tone. "I understand that you and your young friend have become rather close lately. Care to explain?"
Naruto sighs before plopping into the nearest seat. "I'd explain if I could Hokage-sama, but Haihane-chan was INTERRUPTED before she could tell me the ins and outs of being an Ashikabe. ….what ever that is..."

"Fucking old pervert!" Hikari growls as she stomps angrily towards the small apartment that her and her sister share. "I cant believe you fried the boss like that..." Hibiki moans in embarrassment. "HE GRABED MY ASS! ONLY NARU-KUN CAN GRAB MY ASS!" Hibiki only looks towards the sky as her sister rants and screams. "Hikari, Naru-kun doesn't even know we exist.."
A large cloud of doom forms over the twins as they enter their little apartment, that for some strange reason is RIGHT across the street from Naruto's place. The two twins drop their small amount of groceries on the table before running over to the digital camera they have set up in the window that for some reason looks right into Naruto's living room.
"HEE! Living on top ramen and sugar sandwiches for a few months was MORE then worth this!" Hikari and Hibiki both take a lecherous tone as they peer into the view finder. "Maybe we caught one of him changing his pants!" As they click the screen their perverted looks turn to surprise at the sight of Haihane.
"B-But...I thought we where the only ones..." Hikari gulps slightly as she looks at her twin. "Sh-Should we...keep going?" Hibiki nods. One by one the pictures play out an all too familiar event. "...he...he winged her..." Hibiki looks to her sister with concern. "Do you think..." Hikari shakes a negative. "We would have heard from them is MBI was active in this world..." A few awkward moments pass as the sisters pout at their seemingly lost shot.
"If that BITCH thinks she's gonna hog OUR Ashikabe...SHE'S GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!" Hikari takes a proud and confident poise as she pumps her fist into the air. "Damn right! W-We saw Naruto-kun FIRST!" Hibiki joins her sister in maniacal laughter as they begin to scheme ways to get 'their' Naru-kun.

Haihane explains the relationship of a sekirei and her ashikabe to the Elders and Hokage, when questioned about her past, she freezes up for a second. "Ah...Well...I can only remember bits and pieces." Homura scratches his chin in thought. "Anything can help Haihane-san." She looks to Naruto for a second.
"No matter how small or silly it may seem, anything could help." He reaches over and gently pats her shoulder. "I'm here for you Haihane-chan." Haihane blushes slightly at the thought. "W-Well...I was teasing my friend Flaty-chan and the director came into the room ranting and raving about something or other, And with some taps on a computer keyboard...boom."
"And you woke up here, correct?" Koharu adds to Haihane's explanation. "Do you know if there are anymore of your kind here?" Haihane cocks her head at the hokage's question. "Uhh...I MIGHT have seen these two twins peeping at Naru-kun a few times, and I'm pretty sure that Flaty-chan is here as well..but.." Haihane reaches up and starts to scratch her head with her claws.
"Um...Haihane-chan I don't-" Naruto's train of thought is broken by a popping sound followed by a light hiss as an arch of blood starts to squirt out from the puncture wound in Haihane's head. "AHHH! Someone get a bandage!" Koharu, Homura and Sarutobi chuckle in amusement as a frantic Naruto manages to patch up a sheepish Haihane.
"Naruto-kun...there are two more things we need to speak to you about. Firstly is seeing that you and your new companion are linked in such an intimate way, we have decided to allow you and her to be placed onto a team." A visibly happy Naruto nods slightly. "And the other thing Hokage-sama?" Sarutobi sighs sadly before pushing two scrolls towards Naruto. "These are for you."

Iruka views his class with annoyance. 'fucking brats' he scowls at the clan heirs as they babble and gab about nothing. "All right class..." They ignore him "Class!" Ino and Sakura start to argue about who has the best collection of Sasuke's toe nails. He goes through a quick sequence of hand signs before activating his demon head no jutsu. "SHUT UP!"
Finally having their attention, he coughs slightly. "Alright you brats, today we have a new student joining us-" Kiba Inuzuka slams his hands onto his table. "What the hell sensei, we've already graduated!" The second he finishes whining, his head snaps back from the book launched by Iruka. "SHUT THE HELL UP!" He growls slightly. "The HOKAGE has decided to add this student to even out the number of genin since Hinata was crippled by Mizuki."
(Naruto graduated in the mid range, so Hinata was the dope that Mizuki conned into stealing the scroll. She was saved by Iruka but still mentally crippled by Mizuki's cruelty.)
As Iruka finishes grumbling to the idiots, a visibly annoyed Naruto walks in followed by a curious looking Haihane. The second the brats spy Haihane they start to murmur to themselves again. "What's with her clothes.." "Clothes, what about those claws..." "Why's the grouch near her?" A visible tick mark starts to grow the more they babble until Naruto blows his top altogether. "SHUT THE HELL UP!"
Iruka leers at Naruto, reaching up to his crooked nose. (Blames Naruto for Mike smashing in his face) "Introduce yourself already I've got things to do." Haihane looks out at the collected Mass of dumb. "Yo, my names Haihane Uzumaki..." With that, she and Naruto wander over and plop down next to a curious looking Shina Aburame leaving a VERY confused room. "Hey Shina."
The raven haired bug user looks over to her secret crush. "...hello Uzumaki-san..Uzumaki-san.." (Inner Shina) 'GOD DAMN IT! TELL HIM ALREADY! I WANT MY NARU-KUN!' 'We cannot, father explained to us already that HE must except the contract.' 'But look at that CHEST! And those ABS, Mm-MMM! Don't you want to just run your fingers across that beefcake!' 'I...I do...I love him so much but...I'm scared of what he would think of me...' '….Me too...'
(Line Break)
(Teams go cannon until Team six is called.)
"Team Six is Naruto Uzumaki, Haihane Uzumaki, and Shina Abura-" Iruka's monotone announcement is broken by a loud shout of. "YES! TRUE LOVE BEATS ALL!" In annoyance Iruka launches a book at Sakura. "SHUT THE HELL UP HARUNO!" Ino meekly raises her hand. "U-Um...Iruka sensei...that wasn't Sakura...i-it..was.." She points to a mortified Shina, whom seems to be trying to hide in her coat like a turtle in it's shell.
Iruka just shrugs. "What ever, Team Six, your sensei is..." Iruka is interrupted AGAIN by the sound of glass shattering and a strange banner being plastered onto the chalkboard. (Class in tandem) "The sexy and single Anko Mitarashi, sensei of Team Kick-ass?"
With a tuck and roll, Anko tumbles into the room and jumps to her feet. "HA HA HA! THAT'S RIGHT FUCKERS! I got promoted, AND got myself a group of brats to torture!" While Haihane rolls on the floor laughing at the ridiculousness of their sensei, Naruto slumps into his seat with his head in his hands. "Fucking hell...
(Line Break)
Deep within Training ground 44, or the Forest of Death as it is more commonly known. Naruto, Haihane, and Shina sit in a semi-circle around an insanely grinning Anko. "Alright brats, you know the drill, likes dislikes, dreams, all that crap." She points to Naruto first. "You first Blondie!"
Naruto scowls slightly. "Name's Naruto Uzumaki...Namikaze.." Anko's jaw drops to the forest floor. "I like Barbecue, My REAL parents, Mike and Anna, Haihane-chan, and my kekkei genkai storm release. I hate the council except the elders, and Shiba Aburame-san, most of the village. My dream...I guess it would be to help Haihane-chan find her friends, and perfect my fighting style."
Anko's mind snapped, the Hokage TOLD her that her fiance was dead. She ended up treating Naruto like he didn't even exist, and she PROMISED Kushina-sensei that she would protect her son. Her train of thought was broken by someone snapping fingers in front of her face. "YO! SENSEI!" Anko shakes her self awake before looking to Naruto. "H-Hey...um...I need you to see something.."
