Alright, two reviews are enough for me! Thanks, yo!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT, IN ANY WAY, OWN NARUTO (Owned by Kishimoto) OR DEVIL MAY CRY (Owned by Capcom).
Chapter 2: Meeting the Old Man and… SCHOOL!?
"So I can only assume…" the old Hokage said as he blew the smoke out of his mouth, "That you," he said, pointing at the man in the red coat, "are Dante."
"That's right!...So, am I in trouble or something? I heard that the Kyuubi was a pretty bad dude, so I figured that the villagers wouldn't like Shorty here."
"Not at all Dante…"
"DAMMIT, I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME SHORTY, YOU IGNORANT BASTARD!!!!" The Hokage looked at Naruto, a little bit confused.
"I thought he would've been used to your name calling by now, considering he's lived with you for the past eleven years."
"You'd think so, wouldn't ya? Ah well. Anyway, what are we gonna do with Half-pint now?" asked Dante.
"…friggin' jerk…"
"Ah yes. Naruto will be going to the ninja academy to become a ninja." explained the tired, old man
"Really? A ninja you say? At a ninja academy? Who'd a thunk it?" replied Dante, sarcastically.
"Don't get smart with me. I could have you thrown out of this village, Dante. I'm willing to accept your reasons for taking Naruto away, but I'm not about to take any lip from you." The old man was annoyed now.
"Hey, wait a minute, don't I get a say in any of this? Maybe I don't want to become a ninja. Demon slaying is much more fun!"
"Yeah Shrimp, it is, but when it comes to physical strength, you're not even near my level. Becoming a ninja will help you out more than you know. Besides, it might be a good thing to work on human opponents, so you figure out your own way to deal with the crazy ones."
"Yeah, whatever…"
"Naruto, ninjas learn very strong techniques. And they get paid better than demon slayers. Give it a chance, please? For an old man's sake? I could use a strong young man like you to help the people of this village." pleaded the Hokage.
"Fine! I'll do it already! Sheesh, you'd think the world would end if I wasn't a ninja…"
"That's the spirit, Shorty!"
"That's it!!" yelled Naruto, finally losing his patience and tackling Dante to the ground. The Hokage looked on in mild amusement, surprised how much they acted like brothers. Constantly egging each other on, but always watching out for each other. It was very nice to see that Naruto had someone he could depend on.
"As of today, Uzumaki Naruto is attending the ninja academy…Things are going to become much more interesting around here. I can feel it…" murmured the Hokage, still watching the two still scrambling around on the ground like a couple of hyperactive weasels.
"Naruto! Dante!" The two instantly stopped and perked up their heads at the mentioning of their names. 'Perhaps weasels were a good analogy, actually…'
"Yeah, old man? What is it?"
"Naruto, show some respect for the geezer! He's the strongest dude in the village right now!"
"I'd prefer being called old man than geezer…"
"Oh, my bad then, old man! You wanted to tell us something?" The Hokage suddenly remembered he actually did have something important to say. 'My memory's slipping. Ugh, damn my old age…'
"Yes, actually. Had you two thought about where you would live while spending time here?"
"Uhhhh…Yes?"
"Bull crap, Dante. Your plan was, and I quote, "Don't worry about it Shorty! We can just sleep on the benches in the park or something!" God, I can't believe you're supposed to be a responsible adult!"
"Well I can't believe someone shorter than my waist is eleven years old!"
"Oh, you better take that back, you stupid, son of a…"
"Um, boys? Remember me?" The Hokage interjected before another fight could brake out. The office of the Hokage was already a mess, and the fights between these two super powered almost siblings was only making it worse.
"Oh, right! Sorry old man!" They replied.
"Right…Anyway, I heard that you two were coming and I purchased an apartment for the two of you to use. It's not very furnished right now, but I'm sure you two have money to spend." With this, the two demon slayers were ushered out of the room and lead to their new apartment.
"Well, little buddy, I'm bushed. How 'bout you?"
"Me too. Tomorrow's my first day at the academy, so I should get some sleep."
"Alrighty then! 'Night, little buddy!"
"'Night Dante."
THE NEXT DAY…
"So this is the academy?" said the blonde haired boy, staring at Konoha's ninja academy.
"I guess so. Good luck, Shorty!"
"You son of a…" Dante was already long gone. "…bitch…" Naruto was left to smolder as he walked up the stairs to his classroom. "Stupid son of a…Why'd he have to leave? Really coulda used some pointers. Ah well. He probably woulda said something stupid like "Remember to avoid the scary chicks!" or something. Dumbass…" Naruto heard a voice beyond the door he was waiting behind.
"Students! STUDENTS! KIBA, SIT DOWN AND STOP HARRASING INO! Sheesh…Anyway, we will start the day off with some exciting news. You have a new classmate! Come on in Naruto!" Naruto walked in and looked around his new classroom. Looking at his classmates, he decided that these were the sorriest group of ninjas he had ever seen. Weren't ninjas supposed to be black wearing, katana wielding, badasses? 'Oh well. I'll just show them what real badasses are supposed to look like.' Konoha's ninja academy will never be the same…
Alright! Chapter 2 is up! I tried…I really did…so review, will ya?
