Mic: Damn it I suck writing…but I think I've gotten a bit better since the first…4 chapters?
ITMB: No kidding.
Sasuke: Definitely.
Naruto: Yep.
Mic: You guys sure know how to make me hate myself.
Sasuke: Yeah.
Naruto: Mmm…maybe.
ITMB: Pretty proud of it.
Mic: I HATE YOU ALL!...I'm hungry...
ITMB: We just had breakfast (and a PRETTY BIG one) ten minutes ago!
Mic: So? I'm a growing girl!
Sasuke: COULD YOU JUST FREAKING SHUT UP AND START WITH THE STORY? YOU USED A WHOLE PAGE ON YOUR STUPID CONVERSATION! *GLARE*
Mic: Okay, okay, geez, damn pmsing Uchihas.
Sasuke: Look who's talking, do you have any idea how YOU get when you're pmsing?
Mic: Damn you.
Naruto: On with the story…yeah so I don't appear here often, so what? Me lazy =~U~=
Naruto was currently on the schools rooftop. He came here when he remembered Orochimaru and Kabuto. He missed them. His thoughts were interrupted when someone sat, or more like laid down beside him. It was Shikamaru. After seeing him and talking with him very often (thanks to Temari), both found out they were quite similar.
"Them?"
"Yeah…wait, what are you doing here, ttebayo?"
"Substitute for Asuma"
"Oh, smoking finally got him huh?"
"…yeah…."
"At least it's not fatal."
"Yeah."
"…So…"
"…So…"
Naruto sighed. How depressing a lazy genius could be. Weird how he was a genius. Shikamaru was the same as him. They were both introduced in to a world they weren't ready for due to their intelligence. Shikamaru entered college at fifteen. Nobody actually wanted to come near him thinking he was just a stupid kid who thought he was better than them. Since he preferred sleeping than anything, that wasn't a problem. Then he met both Temari and Asuma, Asuma being his teacher and Temari just a girl that wanted to bug him. They both literally changed his world. Now instead of everybody just coming to him just because of his intelligence, making him do their work, they actually wanted to meet him. Shikamaru thought Naruto was quite lucky, even thought he had the level, Orochimaru for some reason didn't want to put him in college right away and instead put him where he was right now. He knew how the blonde felt, and knew that it was a bit worse, being an orphan and having those whisker like scars on his face really taking a toll on everyone else. But even with all that he knew Naruto would get very, very far. Very far indeed.
"You know, why don't you enter the martial arts club?"
The blonde jumped at the sudden question. "Wha-What?"
"Kakashi wants you in. You're pretty good. You win against Gaara and you're probably as good as Uchiha."
"Bu-But I don't think I'm go-"
"You are good enough."
"..I-I think I-I'll pass, tteba."
"You know that Kakashi won't stop bugging you."
"I think I'll take my chances."
"….You know He'll eventually persuade you."
"Let him try, ttebayo!" Shikamaru sighed and muttered troublesome at the blondes new found determination. He wasn't so sure he wanted the blonde to turn back to be as loud and annoying as Kiba. He heard from Gaara that he had been even more. But if it helps the blonde, so be it…Besides if he could handle Kiba, he could handle Naruto…right? The bell rang.
"Come on, you've got to get to class."
"Wow, I never thought I'd live to see the day you'd say that." Shikamaru didn't even bother to glare.
"Just go already."
"Yeah, yeah."
Naruto headed for his history class finding everyone already there and Kakashi reading.
"Ah, Naruto." The man turned towards him. "Glad you could join us."
"Actually I haven't join you, nor do I plan to.
"Not even for cake?" Out of nowhere he lifted a plain white cake with strawberries.
"Got plenty at home." He wasn't lying.
"Why won't you join us?"
"Don't wanna."
"You need a hobby."
"Naw, I manage quite well against boredom."
"Why won't you give us a chance?"
"I'm not very good."
"Oh really? Weird, that's not what I heard from Gaara and Kiba." The blonde immediately turned to glare at the redhead and brunette. The dog-lover didn't look at him and Gaara was impassive as ever.
"Well, I actually don't know what you're talking about."
"Too bad, now what am I going to do with this ramen." He lifted a bowl full of it. Naruto's mouth immediately watered. He shook his head, thought for a moment and said:
"You buy me ramen today with no limit and I go to one practice."
"Participate and it's a deal."
Naruto hesitated. "No one see's and it is a deal."
"They watch and it's double meal."
"…"
"How about triple meal? So…?"
"Deal." They shook hands and Kakashi handed Naruto the bowl.
"Glad to make business with you." Naruto went to his seat at the back and started eating while Kakashi resumed his reading. Every one (except for Shino…and Sasuke) were in complete shock. What the hell had Kakashi-sensei and Naruto talked about? Either way they quickly forgot about the incident.
Naruto was nervous….actually he was so nervous he was actually shaking.
"Do you want us to go with you?" The brunette as brotherly as ever.
"Um…naw, it's okay."
"Okay…I'm going to walk Hinata home." Yep, the dog-lover had it going for the purple haired girl.
"Aren't you worried about Neji?"
"I-I don't really ca-care!"
"You're scared." Gaara was such a bastard.
"Of course not!"
"Kiba?"
"Yeah?"
"Neji's behind you tteba." Kiba dropped to his knees.
"Please! I beg you, don't kill me!" When he heard no response he opened his eyes to see a lightly smirking Gaara and a Naruto laughing his guts out.
"YOU BASTARDS!"
"Hn."
"HAHAHA….you….you should've…se-een …your…fa-face HAHAHAHA."
"Yeah? Look who's talking, don't you have a Dojo to be at?" Naruto immediately stopped laughing.
"YOU'RE SO CRUEL, TTEBAYO!"
"Yeah, yeah, anyway I'm gonna get going now okay? See ya." Naruto watched as Kiba walked away thinking in what he had gotten himself in.
"Come on we're going to be late."
"Huh?"
"I'm going with you."
"But-"
"No buts." Gaara grabbed the blondes forearm and started guiding him towards Kakashi's Dojo. They quickly found the place. It was pretty big. They silently entered the building. Once inside Naruto froze. Inside was, obviously, the martial arts club. They were only 6, which was weird because for a club to be considered a club, it needed to have at least 15 members.
They were Rock Lee, a white haired guy named Suigetsu, a redhead girl named Karin (She kinda looked like Tayuya), an orange haired guy named Juugo (He looked almost exactly like Pein), the pink haired girl known as Sakura and, of course, Sasuke.
"Naruto-kun, Gaara-san! To what do we owe this youthful visit to our Dojo?" Lee hugged them both before letting go when Naruto turned a little blue.
"Kakashi." Since the blonde was frozen he might as well do the talking…wow, that sounded weird.
Sakura interrupted. "Kakashi-sensei? Why would he want you to come here, especially the two of you?" Ah, the bitch.
"None of your business Haruno." And that's all it took. The blonde had somehow managed to get behind Gaara.
"Are you going to join our youthful club?" You and your youth thingy.
"No, Naruto is." He pushed the blonde in front of him. Every one immediately looked at him (except for Sasuke and Lee) Like saying 'That wimpy kid?'
"What can someone as short as him do?" Suigetsu with his stupid questions.
"Bastard, ttebayo!" Naruto covered his mouth after realizing what he had said.
Suigetsu looked at him before laughing. "Heh, Blondie's got temper, I like that." He put his arm around Naruto's shoulders, causing Gaara to immediately focus on him. "It's better than being around a bunch of moody people, well except for Lee, of course."
"Shut up! I'm not moody!"
"You are when you're pmsing Karin"
"You're an idiot."
"And you're ugly." Just when it looked like both of them were going to start fighting Kakashi appeared.
"Now, now kiddies, I think I've taught you better than to fight." Everyone ( again, except for the more serious ones) sweatdropped.
"Ah, Naruto, so you did come."
"Anything for ramen, ttebayo!"
"Okay, sooo…" He searched among them before focusing on Sasuke. "Fight Sasuke."
"What? No!"
"We made a deal my dear Naru-chan." Naruto blushed but tried to ignore the 'Naru-chan'. He unwillingly gathered the attention of a certain black haired guy, nobody noticed thought.
"Bu-But-"
"Getting cold feet now Naru-chan?"
"No, it's just tha-that….um….ca-can't I fi-fight a-against…..I don't know…some-someone else-e?" He couldn't help but stutter, he was after all under Sakura's glare and menace.
"Someone like who?" He was pushing the blonde.
"I-I don't know."
"Then fight Sasuke."
"I-I do-don't-" The blonde was really nervous.
Gaara interrupted. "Fight Juugo."
"Wha-What?"
"Good idea Gaara, fight Juugo Naruto." The blonde just took one look at the massive guy before turning around and whispering furiously to Gaara.
"Are you crazy? He's gonna KILL ME, TTEBAYO!" Gaara simply stared at him. Naruto sighed. He looked at Kakashi.
"O-Okay…" Kakashi smiled…or he thought he did, it was hard to know due to his mask.
"Juugo, if you may." Juugo nodded and stepped into what Naruto thought was the fighting area.
"Oh, wait, Suigetsu, go find me a spare uniform."
"Kay." He walked into another room and when he came back he already had the uniform. He handed it to the blonde.
"Here, it's the smallest size shortie."
"I'm not short!"
"Then what are you?"
"I'm just vertically challenged, ttebayo!"
"Yeah sure."
"Naru-chan, the boys changing room is over there." Kakashi pointed a big black wooden door.
"Ok, and don't call me Naru-chan, tteba!"" Just as he was leaving someone grabbed his shoulder. It was Suigetstu.
"Wait! You're a boy?" The idiot somehow missed the blondes boy uniform.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Suigetsu looked at Kakashi.
"He's seriously a boy?"
"Yep." How merrily he answered that.
"But he looks like a girl!" Someone unexpectedly whacked him over the head. When he looked up to see who it was, he only saw the wooden door close.
Ten minutes later Naruto finished changing and had gone back. Kakashi turned towards everyone else.
"Alright kiddies, now I want you to watch closely, Juugo?" Juugo nodded and went back to where he had previously been standing. He went in to position. First he put his feet a 50 cm apart, the right foot behind the left one, and put his left hand straight forward, his right hand 10 cm separated from his chest. Perfect for defending and attacking. Naruto's position however was one that no one but Kakashi, Gaara and Sasuke had seen. It was similar to Juugo's but his right fist was attached to the right side of his waist and his left hand was right in front of his face, with his elbow leveled with his shoulder. And his left foot was in front. Everyone was like ' What the Hell?' Kakashi however was thinking something else. 'The Higarizawa style huh? Interesting.'
Juugo saw every posible defect on the blonde's position and tried to use it in his advantage. He ran forward and gave a kick to the blonde's left side to have it blocked by Naruto's left elbow. The next thing he knew Naruto gave him a punch with his right fist in the stomach. Everyone was thinking the same thing: 'But I didn't even see his arm move!' Besides the fact that from 200 hundred competitions and about 2000 contestants, only 4 managed to hit Juugo, one being Sasuke, One being Rock Lee, another being a kid from another school and of course, Kakashi.
Then the blonde gave him a round house kick to his side, which he blocked. He tried to hit the blondes chest but it was stopped By Naruto's shin. He gave a kick to the blondes face but he crouched and made Juugo fall by tripping him with a low kick. Just before he fell, Juugo managed to use his hands as support and hit Naruto's chest with both his feet. Everyone heard bones literally cracking. Not even Juugo had moved when Gaara rushed to Naruto's side. The blonde coughed blood and he was also bleeding from his chest.
"Damn…"
"Are you okay?" Suigetsu got closer, so did everyone else. Naruto nodded. When he saw Juugo's guilt filled eyes he immediately panicked.
"I-It wasn't you Juugo-sempai!, I'm so-sorry!, I would ha-have continued bu-but…I-I was in an a-accident…"He whispered the last thing. Sakura, who was seated, knew exactly what accident, she smirked. Gaara looked at him in a way that said 'We are talking about this later.'
Kakashi appeared in front of him. "Naruto you should have told me you were injured!" He wasn't exactly mad, just worried, but he made the blonde feel bad.
"I-I'm so-sorry. I-I didn't me-mean to ca-cause tro-trouble."
"You didn't but we have to take you to the infirmary, can you walk?"
"Ye-Yeah." He tried to stand up but he fell."N-No…"
"Come on. You kiddies can go home. Gaara I'll take Naruto home okay?" After Gaara nodded Kakashi lifted Naruto bridal style.
"WHA-WHAT ARE YOU DOING TTEBAYO?"
"What does it look like, carrying you."
"Bu-But not like this!"
"Maa, shy are we?"
"Shut up!"
"You look just like my dear dolphin-chan"
"Shut up I don't need to know that!"
"Still mad? I remember you wanted to marry him."
"SHUT UP ALREADY TTEBAYO!" And this continued until they got to the infirmary where they discovered Naruto had several bruises and cuts all over from where the bleeding had come from, not deep enough to leave a scars but still a bit serious. After having the blondes wounds cleaned up and wrapped in bandages Kakashi took him home and spoke with Jiraiya. Naruto refused to say how he had injured himself saying that it was his fault.. Naruto found out his father had been Kakashi's mentor. Before he left Kakashi said: 'Oh and Naru-chan, You're in' After he closed the door he heard a scream of 'THAT WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL!' and left.
Naruto woke up because of a scream of 'WHERE THE HELL IS HE?"….actually two voices screamed it, one male and one female. He then saw a blur of purple and another of brown run into his bedroom and glomp him.
"Are you okay?"
"I was so worried!"
"How did you get those bruises?"
"Oi! Cut it out, you're gonna kill him, his ribs are already fractured, he doesn't need something else broken." Another two blurs, white and orange, entered the room. The blurs immediately let go of the blonde. He coughed and groaned. The purple blur cleaned him.
"I so sorry!" They looked at each other. "We're so sorry!" When Naruto's vision finally cleared, he could finally name the blurs as Konan, his literature teacher, Iruka (he was more of big brother….sometimes a mother hen…), Pein and Jiraiya. Naruto couldn't help but laugh at Jiraiya's appearance. His usual pony tail wasn't made, instead it was all made some kind of ball, making it look like a spiky super afro (It was three times bigger than the mans head). His pj's were soaked in coffee and it looked like someone had thrown flour at his face.
"Yeah laugh now brat! And take a good look cause this is where you're headed!"
"I hardly think so, Ero-sennin tteba. Anyways what are you doing here at…."
" 3 AM."
"Thanks, at- wait 3AM? What the hell is wrong with you people?" Iruka whacked him over the head.
"LANGUAGE!"
"I'm injured and you hit me?"
"You don't look so injured to me!"
"Because of the pain killers!"
"Oh god you're on pain killers? I'm sorry!" He hugged the blonde again.
"Iruka-sensei, I'm fine!...Wait, how did you know I was injured?"
"Kakashi."
"Go figure…"
"Here, cake!" Konan grinned…she was so obsessed with cakes…
"Arigato." He took it.
"And cookies!"
"Arigato."
"And a milkshake!"
"Alright already woman! You're gonna make the kid a diabetic!"
"Of course not!" She was mad.
"Of course not my ass, we both have to take some to school or work so that our fridge doesn't overload!"
"Damn old geezer!" Yeah she was mad alright.
"Grape girl!"
"Die!" Out of nowhere she started to throw several wooden spoons at Jiraiya, he tried to run but they all hit him.
"Home sweet home, ttebayo."
"Well Naruto, I gotta go, I'll come see you tomorrow okay? Good…night?" And he left.
"Come on Konan we have to let the kid get some rest." Pein gave a friendly nod in Naruto's direction and grabbed Konan by her waist and left, the girl was still throwing spoon's at Jiraiya and the last one hit the man where no man would like to be hit with a spoon. After Jiraiya's scream, Naruto simply turned around in his bed and fell asleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXLet us take a little break!XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Mic: I. AM. SO. TIRED!
ITMB: THEN REST!
Mic: Naw. Pepople, I know this is kinda early but I need your help, you see, the first sasunaru fanfic I ever read was one about martial arts, actually this story is kinda inspired in that one, there's this part when Naruto is getting home from I-don't-remember-where in his motorcycle and Juugo is there cause he wants him in the club, and to make the blonde fight him he broke the bike's mirror and the blonde punched him blah blah blah blah blah and there is another scene where Naruto fights Kakashi and Karin, Suigetsu, Juugo and Sasuke fight and he's pretty good, blah blah blah, after that Naruto and Suigetsu talk about Halo blah blah blah and I also think that there's a scene where Sasuke and Suigetsu are talking about I-don't- know -what and Suigetsu says ' You know how to take of a bra?' (damn I hate that word) and Sasuke says 'Suigetsu I am not a vrigin' and then there's a competition and then…well I can't remember what happened after that but the point is that if you know what is the name of that story please, please, PLEASE, tell me its name please! I wrote it but my dog ate the piece of paper where I wrote it!
