Chapter 5: Naruto's Final Training Session :Naruto's bet
Kakashi sighed, "The Chunin exams start in two weeks"
Kakashi unveiled his face to Ayame (Ramen girl), he played with his noodles. She modestly poured a cup of sake, and placed it beside him. Kakashi took his chop sticks and ate some of it. He was depressed on how his team won't compete this year. It would take a whole year to wait for a new team .Sakura went into Asuma's team because Shikamaru was already a chunin. Naruto wouldn't be back for another two years. Sasuke left and ran away. He felt something strange, he felt driven to beat Gai's students.
"You know how come you only take off your mask, when you're alone with me" asked Ayame
"It's troublesome for my … pears and pupils to see my face. Besides I can't eat with my mask on" said Kakashi
"Oh really…" said Ayame with a blush "Are you sure it's not for another reason?"
"Maybe….." said Kakashi leaning in closer
Kakashi put her hand around her, and pulled it in close for a kiss. She blushed and then subsided in the wondrous sensation. They ended it as Ayame father entered.
"Father I-I I can explain" said Ayame
"Explain! Explain? !" yelled her father
"Sir, It was my Idea entirely my fault "said Kakashi
"No, I wanted you to do it's our fault mostly mine…I started flirting with him" said Ayame
"Why are you two so defensive "chuckled her father "Ayame your 22 and you needed a husband! Why do you need to Explain Do you honestly think I wanted you to stay in this kitchen the rest of your life?"
"Well I Uhhh… I just thought….."Said Ayame as Kakashi exhaled
'I might be able to get out of tight fixes, but that one was pretty scary' thought Kakashi
At Konoha's gate………..
The guard yawned, and then the other followed. Footsteps grew nearer and they were back to full alert. The Security was much tighter because, of the Hyuuga tragedy. Then they saw Jiraya they became less tense. But, the guards recognized the second figure instantly.
"Jiraya-sama and Hikaru Subeta!" said the guard
"It's been awhile you two how about we go have a drink after I report to the old bitch I mean Hokage" said Hikaru" We got some catching up to do. "
"Who is that third person there?"Asked the guard
The third figure only smiled, his blond hair had grown quite a length, and his body was already almost done growing. His black shirt and white coat resembled the fourth's Hokage's attire, but not quite. His jacket ended around his waist and wearing dark blue Shinobi pants, with bandages around his ankles and arms. A medium sized Katana slung on his back, the Iron sheath and hilt looked ancient. Old Chinese letters were written on the sheath. His deep blue eyes gave away his Identity, but his deepened and matured voice, strayed there guess.
"Well, I have changed quite a bit haven't I?" said Naruto "It's me Naruto Uzumaki"
"Wow Naruto, it's only been a year and you're almost as tall as me! And I'm 6 feet" said the guard
Naruto scratched the back of his hair and grinned modestly. He then waved a silent good bye and after he walked two feet, he disappeared.
"That Naruto always showing off" said Hikaru
At the Hokage's Office…………
"Tsunade-sama there's a mission in the wind village!" shouted Shizune
"What did something happen" said Tsunade awakening from her desk
Shizune started to keep in her laugh. Tsunade's face was covered in black marker.
"It's just a ... C-rank mission" giggled Shizune in between giggles
"Hey, what's so funny?" said Tsunade eyeing her.
Sakura entered the room, and she started to laugh. Hikaru then appeared behind Tsunade with a smile.
"What's up you old B!" said Hikaru
Tsunade turned around with anger in her eyes. Then with a dangerous smile, she cracked her knuckles.
"Hikaru…" she said sounding out each syllable of his name with expression and utter death.
"Old bitch…"said Hikaru doing the same.
"Where should we do this…" said Tsunade
"Anywhere, Anytime…"said Hikaru, then turned to Shizune
"After … something important" said Hikaru darting towards Shizune, he ran and kissed her.
"Ahhh!" Sakura yelled "He-She-Who do you think you-"
Hikaru then left a stunned Shizune touching her lips , then sighing. He then took Sakura's hand and kissed it.
"Pardon Me! Crazy Bitch's Apprentice "said Hikaru sweeping Shizune off her feet.
Sakura was enraged, yet flustered. Hikaru ran and dodged Tsunade's punch. Then he jumped out the window, with Shizune in his arms. Hikaru then sped up to a dango restaurant, ad put Shizune down.
"So… Shizune-Chan it's been awhile hasn't it? Hungry? I know how much you love Dango and it's lunch time, I won't take no for an answer" he said putting his arm around her and almost forcing her to come with him.
"But Hikaru-kun I need to help Tsunade with her-" said Shizune
"I know… that's the bonus of me treating you on a date for the rest of the day" said Hikaru "now open wide"
Hikaru fed Shizune some Dango.
"Where is he that Idiot!" yelled Tsunade
"Baka!' yelled Sakura
"Watch this" whispered Hikaru making him and Shizune invisible
Then he used the wind to trip both of them. They fell and rolled down the street and when they came back, they saw nothing. Then they left thinking he did as well. Shizune and Hikaru then let out there laughs.
Meanwhile…
Naruto wandered his way to the ramen stand. He then found Kakashi and Hinata sitting at the stand. He walked up behind both of them and sat beside Hinata. He was about to say, hello, but they were both unaware of his presence. He forgot that he was invisible, but then stopped to see why Hinata looked so down.
"Hinata I'm sorry for your loss, you must have lost a lot of your family" said Kakashi
"It's alright, it's been a few months since then I just feel depressed' said Hinata
'What happened?' thought Naruto
"Do you or the Anbu know who did it?" asked Hinata
"There are only a few people who could slaughter half of the Hyuuga clan in less than 5 minutes" said Kakashi "A talented fire user really narrows it down…"
'What!' thought Naruto 'is Neji?'
"Oh and Neji is on his way to recovery" said Hinata
Kakashi and Naruto both exhaled, and Hinata felt Naruto's hot breath go down her neck. Kakashi and Hinata nodded to each other, Hinata activated her Byakugan and Kakashi drew his Kunai. Naruto gulped he knew, if he made another sound he would be dead meat. But, hot ramen stood in front of him, it taunted him. He tried refusing it but it was his favorite flavor, and a double deluxe. He licked his lips. But, he then knew it was Hinata's ramen, so he stopped thinking about it. But, the Ramen was too irresistible.
He wanted to reveal himself but he had a scratched Headband on. This was because Hikaru wanted him to experience what it was to be like a missing-nin. Hikaru said it was necessary because, Naruto was horrible with stealth.
"Hinata do you see anything?" said Kakashi
"He's right beside me, no- he's gone 892 meters south from here" whispered Hinata
"It was a clone in GenJutsu most likely" said Kakashi
"Should we go investigate" asked Hinata
Kakashi nodded leaving two bowls behind. Ayame stood nervously, then screamed as Naruto appeared covering her mouth.
"shh… it's me" said Naruto
She still struggled
"Naruto Uzumaki my dream is to become Hokage my Birthday is October 10th I bought you a kimono and your father some cooking equipment before I left" said Naruto letting go of her.
"Oh, Naruto-kun! It's been along time why are you hiding" asked Ayame
"Hikaru my trainer came here to complete the last bit of my training stay hidden in the village for a day as a missing Nin…" Said Naruto "I revealed myself so I can have some food…promise not to tell anyone …you can be like my…cover for awhile, I'll buy twice as much Ramen a day I promise"
"The bet…?" asked Ayame as Naruto ate the two bowls
"I bet that if I succeed not being captured I would win 120 000 000 ryu" said Naruto
Ayame turned all smiles, then pale" What if you lose?"
Naruto's face turned red, "I ha-have to wear a dress in the academy for a whole day"
She laughed and Naruto hid behind the counter .He signaled that Hinata and Kakashi were coming back. Hinata and Kakashi sat at the table.
"Ayame-Ni-Chan" asked Hinata innocently "Where's our bowls?"
"Yah, we barely started eating and…"
Naruto whispered something to her and nodded
"I'm sorry he forced me to give him your Ramen "whispered Ayame as Kakashi and Hinata were confused," he's holding me hostage right now!"
"What?" said Kakashi
Naruto put on a Anbu mask, and jumped out from the counter and ran down the street. Hinata and Kakashi caught on and ran after him. Hinata and Kakashi caught up and threw shuriken.
'Wind Style: Wind Blade Jutsu' said Naruto drawing his sword from his sheath. Naruto saw that there was a dead end alley up ahead. He turned around and swung out his sword at the ground. The wind picked up the dust from the ground and blinded Kakashi and Hinata. He then disappeared with the wind.
Meanwhile…
Sakura and Tsunade met up with Jiraya. They stopped and wondered why he was here. Sakura asked Jiraya if Naruto was here. He smiled and told them about the bet…
Hinata soon spotted Naruto 50 meters in the sky and then started jumping roof to roof. Then he saw Tsunade on the Hokage monument with a microphone. He paused, and then listened.
"ATTENTION EVERYONE! NARUTO UZUMAKI IS BACK HE' S WEARING AN ANBU MASK AND IS DISGUISED AS A MISSING NIN. HE IS BOND TO A BET IF HE IS CAPTURED BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN HE WILL WEAR A DRESS IN THE ACADEMY! I ORDER ALL ANBU BLACK OPS, ALL JOUNIN, CHUNIN, GENIN AND I MYSELF TO CAPTURE HIM BEFORE SUNDOWN" Yelled Tsunade as Hinata and Kakashi caught up with Naruto.
Naruto started sweat and he threw done the mask. It was of no use anymore. He was caught in the middle with 2 hours to go. He then, saw Hinata blushing and he smiled at that. Then she developed a playful, yet sinister smile. Naruto smiled back, and then his face turned into a grim frown. He lifted his sword and pointed it to Tsunade. She rolled her eyes then in shock she ducked. Naruto had expanded the blade by using his chakra as an extension. The blade all most pierced her skull. Naruto turned his blade to swing at Kakashi but, realized Hinata intercepted the blade using a rotation. Then Naruto used the thunder god jutsu and smoked Kakashi with a Rasengan instantly. Kakashi turned out to be a log and Naruto jumped up to avoid Kakashi's arm from under the ground.
'Head Hunter Jutsu' thought Naruto' Kakashi must try harder then that
"Fire style: Phoenix flower jutsu" said Naruto
Kakashi used his arms to shield himself from the blows, but Naruto hit his ankle so he couldn't get up. Hinata came from behind and got him into a choke hold. Hinata laughed manically as Naruto tried to get away.
"It's too bad we had to meet this way again but it's nice to see you Naruto-kun" she said sarcastically
Naruto smiled and using his elbow he drove it to Hinata's stomach and flipped her on her back. Naruto then pinned her shoulder to the ground.
"Oh Really? I beg to differ!" said Naruto as he Eskimo kissed Hinata ,then sensed a killing intent behind him, as Hinata giggled.
"NARUTO UZUMAKI" yelled Tsunade with a raging fist.
Naruto only smiled not even bothering to turn around. He made a barrier of wind behind him in mid-air, and intercepted her fist. Her fist started to repel from the barrier then her whole body then fell off the building. Naruto then smiled slyly at Hinata.
"Are you going to co-operate? Miss Hyuuga or, am I going to have to torture you" said Naruto
"Whatever you do! I won't tell you anything" said Hinata
"I need you to tell me, everything you know about this village" said Naruto acting like an, enemy ninja gathering information. Hinata didn't open her mouth. "You leave me no choice Miss Hyuuga, I know your weakness"
Naruto's hand went to her sides and tickled her. Her mouth once closed was open wide. She laughed hysterically. Naruto grinned at her as she rolled around, trying to get away.
"Please No-"she begged
"Stop it" she resisted as Naruto tried harder
"I give, I give" she screamed
"I knew you would see it my way" said Naruto
Hinata soon tackled Naruto to the ground, "Got you"
Jounin arrived, Gai, Asuma, Kurenai and Ebisu came.
"Not yet" said Naruto rolling on top of Hinata and jumping away into fighting stance.
"Naruto you've grown" said Asuma
"You also grow attached to Hinata" said Kurenai
"It is a tragedy is it not!" yelled Gai "Two Lovers separated by us!"
Ebisu smiled "Do you think you can take us all Naruto?"
Naruto also saw that he was surrounded by chunin and Anbu. He saw Lee, Tenten, Akamaru, Kiba, Shino, Sakura, Ino, Chouji, Shikamaru, and Hikaru watching four buildings away. Naruto closed his eyes was it over for him? Naruto sighed and rapidly used hand signs, bit his thumb and slammed his hand on the ground.
"Ninjutsu summoning" yelled Naruto
Gambunta arrived with his hand on his sword and Naruto on his head.
"I don't think I can take you all at once" said Naruto "I know I can!"
"Ninjutsu summoning" yelled Tsunade summoning a giant slug (I forget the name).
'15 minutes to sundown' noted Naruto
"Are you sure Naruto-kun?" said Hinata behind him "128 strikes"
Naruto saw the green divination aura under his feet. He knew he couldn't turn around in time.
"Gambunta jump!" yelled Naruto with not another second to spare he jumped into the clouds.
Hinata felt off balance and almost fell off of the toad's head. Naruto smiled and playfully pushed her and she fell off. But, Naruto caught her before she went down.
"Gambunta! Now" said Naruto Gambunta bringed out his sword and threw it at the giant slug, while shooting oil at the sword.
"Fire style : Toad Flame bomb" said Naruto and Gambunta
All the water style ninja's used Water Jutsu .But that only. The slug dispersed into smoke. Tsunade jumped out of the way. Naruto suddenly used GenJutsu to make him and Hinata invisible. He just needed to buy 2 minutes of more time. But, it was no use he was surrounded by the Shinobi.
'Come on think! Think! What could buy me time! What always bought me time I need time!' thought Naruto 'There's no way out, no way…Oh Yah! Am I stupid or what'
"Extra- Extra-Extra Mass Shadow Clone Jutsu" said Naruto and the Shinobi were surrounding and surrounded by Naruto. "Ha catch me if you can!"
The sky was almost black with the sun descending. It was sunset, relief was in his mind. He still had Hinata in his arms. Hinata smiled sincerely as their lips touched the sun moved quicker and went down. The clones dispersed and Naruto brought Hinata closer to him and Hinata brought her arms around his neck. When they split apart the both exhaled, and the moon had already started its journey across the sky. Hinata sighed as Naruto took her hand. Tsunade sighed; she had hoped to humiliate Naruto but, failed.
"I'm sorry Hinata-Chan I have a confession to make"
"What?" said Hinata as Naruto pecked her on the cheek
"I stole your lunch" said Naruto as they entered the ramen shop.
