Narrator's POV...
I am still exhausted from the training I had the day before yesterday because yesterday, erosennin told me to just rest it off for today. Today is the day of the competition. And as all of us can see, people from other countries and villages are all over the place now. And I was even surprised knowing that they made a very big stadium for the elimination round and that there are still different venues for the competition. Erosennin only told me about those 3 days ago.
"Naru-chan, yo!" Someone called out. I know that who that voice.
"Tenten." I answered.
"What are you doing in here? Looking for hotties?" She asked me. I blush a little and then I shrugged that good idea off and then I look at her.
"Are you insane? I am here to look for new enemies. I mean it." I answered her. My blush still crept in my cheeks which is quite obvious because her smirk never wears off.
"Oh, is that so, Naru-chan? Hmm you look like you need to go somewhere 'special' to 'do' some kind of things, ne?" Tenten teases me.
"St-stop it Tenten. Don't ever talk about me being 'that way' again." I told her as I growl in anger. Ever since she knew that I am gay, she always hangs out with me and teases me. I guess that's just how she teases her friends or such. I don't really like her a bit.
"Hey Naru-chan." Tenten called out as I watched the people going inside Konoha.
"What is it?" I asked her in an annoyed tone of my voice. I don't want her talking to me while I am in my own business looking for new good enemies because I want to at least find rivals.
"Do you know that Gaara is already the Kazekage of his village?" She asked me. I was really surprised. My dream is to become a Hokage and I just learned one of my friends became a Kazekage? At first I was hurt but then determination is in my eyes. I cannot let it slip that way. I will never be defeated. Just watch out Gaara, I would become a Hokage someday.
"That's very good news. But then, I already know that news before." I lied then I added,
"I thought his jinjuriki in him is stolen by the Akatsuki?" I asked Tenten curiously.
"That's true. But he lived because of Lady Chiyo." Tenten answered.
"I am sorry. Now I remember. I've heard that news somewhere. Thanks for reminiscing my memory." I told her with a slight cute chuckle.
"But then he still has the power to control sand. He's still very powerful." Tenten explained.
"Yup. But would he be here?" I asked Tenten. I hope he'll be here. I want to meet him soon enough. I want to even at least see Temari and Kangkurou. I know they've changed.
"Yup. All of the kages will be here for the competition. The sannins and high rank officials will be protecting their own villages while some jounins and anbus will be protecting their kages here." Tenten answered with a smile. It was very great information. I can't wait to see all the kages in Konoha. They are very powerful and infamous to all villages.
There are 5 kages.
The Hokage which means Fire Shadow in Konohagakure,
Kazekage which means Wind Shadow in Sunagakure ,
Mizukage which means Water Shadow in Kirigakure,
Raikage which means Lightning Shadow in Kumogakure and
Tsuchikage which means Earth Shadow in Iwagakure.
Let's say I remembered meeting the group of Neji.
Past...
I was currently walking in the street of Konoha when I heard a very loud shout.
"YOUTH DAY!" Someone shouted. And what the heck is that Youth day thing? But that sounds kinda familiar to me. Youth day, youth, youths... don't tell me it's-
Suddenly the one shouting stopped from running fast and stopped in front of me. I am not surprised for I got a hang on him for the few years we've known each other. He just looked at me intently like I am a criminal outside the jail and in the street.
"My lady! You are such a sign of youth, do you want to be part of the youth day?" He shouted. My ears are like bursting. Yes, I am the same as him. I am noisy too but not in this extent. I was surprised and all I can do is just nod without any expression in my face. I snapped out of my thoughts when I am seemed to hear noises in the area I am with.
And as I did, I am currently at the back of Lee and we are running. Lee's always shouting "A princess is in my back" or "Youth's Goddess is here". That is very embarrassing but thank God, I was saved by a "sensei" that is very close with Lee here.
I jumped from the back of Lee before Gai-sensei kicked Lee hard on the face.
"Lee, what are you doing?" I heard Gai-sensei asked Lee in his usual angry manner.
"Ga-Gai-sensei. I- I was just doing what you told me. To celebrate Youth Day." Lee answered. I can see tears in the corner of his eyes. And I am absolutely sure it's one of those Lee-fake-tears to die for but not for me. It was some kind of corny joke for me.
"Yes. I told you to celebrate Youth Day but Lee, not shouting it in the whole Konoha and dragging some girls that are not cute around town and shouting about princesses." Gai answered. Should I be angry or happy that I am not cute at all?
"So you are saying that you are cute, Naru – chan?" Kyuubi spoke inside my head. I pouted a little knowing that he's going to get me a head ache after this terrible little sibling – like fight.
"Did I say I was cute?" I asked him instead. I just hated it when he butts in.
"No you did not." He answered in a casual manner. I decided to talk back but before doing so, I heard him say something that really made me angry,
"But trust me, you taught a while ago that you are angry being not cute so that means you are happy being cute."
I got angry so I scowled and never talk to him for hours after that. I hate it when somebody tells me I am cute but there's something in me that would be angry if they tells me that I am not cute. Am I nuts? I guess so but no one tells me I am. So who cares?
"You are nuts." Kyuubi teased. I hate him, totally hated him with everything but then in a sense I guess... no, I hate him and that is final.
"But Gai-sensei, this girl is- " I heard Lee said but then he was stopped by Gai – sensei.
"No buts. I will return this girl from where you found her. Don't worry; we will invite Tenten, Neji and some girls for some fun together. I am sure many women will go with us because of Neji." I saw him in his usual smirk where in his teeth are shining like hell.
Then Gai-sensei turned to me only to change from his smirk to a tint blush. And I can see it, CLEARLY! That's totally gross. I never saw him like that except if he's with Lee of course.
"Oh my heavens, Lee, this is a real Goddess." He spoke at last after such a long pause. I saw Lee looked at me from behind without tears this time but with that usual shiny smirk.
"I told you, Gai – sensei. This person is a Goddess." Lee spoke. He then looked at me in the eyes. And those fussy eyebrows, made me want to scowl at that place.
"Then we should do 'it' with her, Lee." Gai – sensei said. And what does 'it' means?
"Hai, Gai – sensei." Lee answered. I backed away a little but then two pairs of evil eyes are following me which send shivers in my spines. They almost grabbed me but then I manage to get a little more angry so then I kicked the asses of the two dumbass and walked away only to be stopped by two voices I know of.
"Gai – sensei, Lee!" The two voices called out. I stopped my tracks and then faced the source of the two known voices. And those are the only voices I haven't heard from the best of friends I met few years ago for more than 5 years. I was surprised not because of their changes and appearances but because it is a very long time since we have met. In this past week's I met my other best friends and their the last group I haven't met yet.
Hyuuga,Neji's team. Neji is from the Branch family of the Hyuuga Clan. He's the cousing of Hinata which means his father is the brother of Hinata's brother. Their fathers are twins and the clan was half by the Branch and the Main Family. Obviously Hinata is from the Main Family. He uses Byakugan too and had a lot of strong techniques. Very useful in a team indeed.
He has a long black hair, clear white eyes and serious face that often scowls. Though it is possible that he pouts too but then I would consider pouting a bad behavior for men.
On his left was Tenten. He uses kunais, shurikens and other various weapons for attacking the family. I don't know much of her background but then I know she kind of have a crush towards Neji and obviously, Neji does not care at all. I bet he has his eyes on someone already.
"What the hell are you too doing?" Tenten asked ready to scold the two strangest member of their team. Neji just looked at them then when he noticed me, he looked at me.
"Nothing really." Lee lied. As if nothing really happened. That dork.
I can still feel that Neji is looking at me. I looked back at him and we are having an eye – to – eye contest. And I won't budge for I cannot lose to this moron. I consider him a moron because I beat him already and he once hurt Hinata so screw him.
Neji was snapped from the competition when Tenten shook him. I partied in my mind for winning another contest with Neji. Yes, and thank you Tenten. Neji drew closer to me after hearing the explanations of the two fussy eyebrows.
"I would like to ask for forgiveness for everything that they have done to you, young lady." Neji started. I can see sincerity in his eyes but then, there's something else.
"It is fine actually. I have managed to kick them in their asses so I don't mind but then, Neji please refrain from calling me a lady. I am young but not a lady." I told him seriously but then with an obvious hint of sincerity. I want people to stop seeing me as a girl.
"How did you know me? Why are you calling me like we are close and you are not a lady?" Neji asked those things with confusion in each questions. I just nodded and smiled at him being calm after what I have done to the two and precisely the first time Neji asked for forgiveness in their part and for me in that extent thought he thought I am a girl.
"Neji Hyuuga of Hyuuga Clan's Branch Family. I am a guy and I am Uzumaki, Naruto. I can call you one of my best buddies but then I don't know with you." I answered him.
"Oh my gosh, you are Uzumaki, Naruto?" I heard Tenten asked in his back.
"No WAY!" I heard Lee shouted this time. I just looked at Neji who nodded.
"That explains everything. I have heard you came back and become womanly but then not to this extent. And guess you are truly a gay." Neji told me. I just sighed like nothing is wrong.
Then something is definitely wrong. Tenten's really quite while the two are arguing to each other while including my name and Neji in the scene. Tenten then squealed like fan girl which made the thick eye brows stopped their talking and Neji listening to Tenten.
"You are openly Gay, Naru-chan and yes! Finally, an open Gay at last. One of those near our ages of course. Damn Kakashi is very perverted and old and then Iruka – sensei will never admit he is gay and everything but NARU-CHAN, you are the STAR." Tenten shouted like she was about to win a contest or a game versus some people she hated.
"Thanks for the so called 'compliment' but I don't really need your 'embarrassment' help when I am in Konoha." I told her with a shy smile on my face. I could have shouted at her but then she is a girl and at some point one of my friends I have been longing to meet again so patience.
"Welcome back, Naruto." Neji greeted. I was awed at him because he never said anything much as like that but then there must be something that keeps on bothering him. I just smiled at him.
"Thanks, Neji." After smiling, I saw the two fuzzy eye brows evilly smiling and then shrugged off the bad feelings I got from them like I don't want to be seen by them.
"Stop sneering you two!" I shouted at them. People from the street looked at us before going to their own ways. That is something really embarrassing indeed.
"And no evil plans of some sort." I warned them.
Present...
I can feel powerful chakras from the comers. Usually, they would hide it on purpose to avoid suspicions of their own power but then if you are going to show your true power that would only mean 3 things, first showing off, second you don't know how to hide your power and third you are luring attention and enemies to, maybe warn them or frighten them. Those are the 3 major possibilities especially in some competitions such as like this.
"Naruto!" Tenten shouted. That snapped me out of my thought by the moment.
"I am sorry, what was it again?" I asked her. I could feel mixed auras from the arrivals but from a far, I can feel the chakra of Gaara. The kazekage is coming here already, huh. The first kage visitor that Konoha have in this contest.
"Can you just pay attention and everything?" Tenten asked again. I just sighed. She is getting annoying by the minute. Maybe if she will ask me to do something, I can get out of her sight or maybe it is the other way around, she can get out of my sight already.
"Oh! I am paying attention. I was just feeling those chakras and Gaara's chakra maybe." I answered her sincerely. It is true that I am feeling Gaara's chakra and even Kankuro and Temari's chakra too. Though I know they are hiding it, there is still a hint of chakra being released. Maybe for us, Konoha ninjas, to know that the Kazekage is coming.
"You call the other team members already. You know that you and I can feel the Kazekage from Sunagakure. They are at least a kilometer or more." Tenten answered.
"They are exactly a mile away by now. You can only feel the hint of his chakra but I can clearly feel it. He has no intention of hiding it. That Gaara, he is not afraid of spies." I snickered at Tenten who just looked at me dumbly. I don't know what she is thinking and I don't usually care at all. It is her decision to just look at me forever or enjoy the scenery of people down below.
"You can feel that much radius?" Tenten asked. I stared at her with an 'of course' gaze.
"You can't do that? I believe Neji, Shikamaru, Kiba and Shino can feel that extent. Or I'll tell you this; I even believe that all of you can feel even more to that extent." I answered them looked at the people below who are noisily talking to one another.
"No way." She shook her head in defeat.
"Don't be down all of sudden." I sighed then looked at the other way around.
"I am going to get the team; you stay here and feel the Suna ninja's chakra. If someone will attack them, just go to them. I believe that you can do it." I said. I know that will cheer her up. She's not that strong, I know, but her 'will' in life will make her stronger. When I saw her response which is a nod, I just went away.
After a few seconds of running from roof to roof, I felt a very evil chakra following me. There are a lot of them from every direction and one stood near in my back and attacked me. I dodged it and landed below in a larger alley which is far from the street.
The men who followed me showed their selves up. There are exactly five of them surrounding me but I can still feel a hidden chakra hiding his/her presence from us. I am sure these men won't feel it but I can. He/she wasn't emitting strong chakras but I can still feel he or she is strong. Then that person, I don't consider him/her evil but I can't consider him/her good too. Let's just say that person is a 'he'.
He's someone different but there is something about him that made me think he is very familiar to me, but who?
"Woah, a pretty babe." One of the men said.
"Yes, the boss would be very pleased if we bring her to him." The other man said.
"Hey pretty lady, want to have some fun?" Another man asked me. I just sighed like nothing is wrong then I smiled at them.
"Thank you so much for treating me as a 'girl' and for the wonderful so called 'compliment' that I have received from you but I am never happy about that. Because I am a man." I told them confidently preparing for an attack.
"Che" I heard someone said.
VIRORIUM SECTION
(This is what I call my commentary section ^_^)
I guess that's that for Chapter 7. Totally, classes will start already since I am from PHILIPPINES and then I am still in HIGH SCHOOL (3rd year- Junior) and my class is JUNE 8, 2011 (4 days from now in our time) so I don't always have the time to write my stories. Even my Aihime, I am not yet done in its 2nd chapter but this one, I am done in the 9th chapter and ongoing 10th chapter. Guess I totally love shounen-ai a lot.
But please keep on supporting and reading.
Don't forget to review.
Please tell me other Naruto shounen-ai pairs
And also BLEACH shounen-ai pairs
Thanks!
Critics and Positive comments are simply welcomed.
