(A/N) We are back once again. First off, thank you for your continued reviews. Second I'm slightly irked at the newest manga chapter (SPOILER ALERT!). Naruto had BETTER have been joking when he said to his dad that Sakura was his girlfriend. For once I'm glad that Sakura hit him for that remark. On the bright side, with Sasuke back as one of the good guys, I think that there is no possible way for Sakura to get together with Naruto. But Minato's remark about Sakura being like Kushina scares me a little. It's almost as if it is foreshadowing something that I REALLY don't want to happen. Also, where the hell did Hinata go? She was becoming super important, which is a very good thing, then she just disappears and Sakura gets the limelight. WTF Kishimoto! While I realize that this chapter was about team 7's reunion, there's no reason to leave out Hinata all of a sudden, especially after what she had just done for Naruto. She was only in two panels and she didn't even speak. Also Minato is more of a boss than he has ever been, as he has his own chakra cloak. Also, while I get why he said it, there is no way in hell that Sasuke would become Hokage, unless Naruto decides to leave the village with Hinata (In that case it would be okay). But I swear, if Kishimoto decides to put Naruto with Sakura in the end, I will find him, along with all the other Naruhina fans, and we will get our revenge.

Also a response to the review from Sasas: Congratulations, you are my first ever negative reviewer. I figured this would happen sometime or another. But I must say, you seem to be pretty one-sided in your opinion. I currently have nearly 100 reviews and not a single one other than yours is negative. Also I love having Naruto and Hinata use nicknames for each other, as I think that it is cute. One of my favorites for Hinata that I haven't used is Tenshi-chan. I don't think that would be appropriate for Naruto to use on Hinata in this story, as they are both Hanyous. Also, considering the amount of Naruhina fanfics out there, it is pretty much impossible to be completely original. So while I respect your opinion, I also completely ignore it. Have a good day.

Anyways, on with the show.

Chapter 10: First missions

Naruto and Hinata were completely ignoring Anko's flashy entrance by kissing in the back of the room. Seeing this immediately annoyed Anko, so she took a kunai out of her pounch and threw it straight at them. Naruto deftly caught the kunai with one of his tails and threw it back in front of her. This annoyed Anko even more, but she kept her cool since they were at least paying enough attention to actually stop her attack. So she shouted "Okay, that's enough of that you two. You can do that later, so meet me on top of the roof in five minutes!" With that, she shunshined off in a swirl of leaves.

Finally breaking their kiss, Naruto said to Hinata "Well I guess we should see what this about. We can continue at home later."

They then shunshined to the roof, not in a swirl of leaves, but in a swirl of blue flames. The rest of the class was shocked that both of them knew the shunshin. Not only that, but they had used flames instead of leaves.

(Roof of the academy)

Naruto and Hinata arrived in a swirl of blue flames to find Anko waiting for them, eating a stick of dango. She nodded at them approvingly and said "You both know the shunshin. I'm impressed. But now to business. I'm sure you have some questions for me?"

Naruto nodded and said "Why are you our sensei? We already have one and we both requested that we be given no one else."

Anko grinned and said "Well little brother, it's quite simple. I am your official sensei, as one is needed for you two to officially be a squad. Did you think that the Hokage was going to come clean and say that the Kyuubi was your sensei? That would never fly with the higher ups, even though you have the council in your pocket. Also you need a physical person to be there as your sensei if you wish to take the chunin exams. Besides, the Hokage had to pull quite a few strings to get you into the first ever two-man squad. By the way, what did you do to get those idiots in the council on your side? I've only heard that you did something violent to get those idiots to see sense."

Now it was Naruto's turn to grin as he said "Sorry big sis, but that's classified. Although I'm sure you heard the short version of what we did when we told the banshee."

"That was the short version? Wow. I said it before and I'll say it again, but you should really think about joining the T & I department. We could use someone of your caliber." Said Anko. "Anyways, on to business. Normally I would have you take a test to see if you are truly worthy of being a genin team, but as you two are a special case, I see no need to conduct said test. From what I get the impression of, you two are already high chunin to low jonin level already."

Naruto said to Hinata through their mind link "More like high jonin to kage level. But Anko doesn't need to know that" before saying to Anko "So since you are our official sensei, will you need to be there for our missions?"

Anko was thoughtful for a moment before she said "I don't think that I will need to be there. You kids can handle yourselves. The only reason I'm here is to keep the other genin squads from asking questions. So now that that's done, I'm going to take my leave and get some more dango. You two can have fun doing whatever you want. If you ever want any training in poisons though, don't hesitate to ask." With that she shunshined away to get some more of her precious dango.

Naruto turned to Hinata and said "So what do you want to do Hina-chan? Should we head back to the estate to continue what we were doing in the classroom? Or should we drop by the old man and get some missions? I know that we don't need any money, but you have to of completed a number of missions before being able to take the chunin exams. So what do you say?"

"How about we do both? We can drop by the Hokage's to get a few missions, then create some clones to do the missions while we head back to the estate so we can continue."

"Great idea Hina-chan!"

With that they shunshined away in a swirl of flames.

(Hokage tower)

The hokage was happily smoking his pipe as he relaxed in his chair. Sure, what Naruto and Hinata had done to the council had resulted in an astounding amount of paperwork, but it was worth it in his eyes. For one, he got to watch the council get put in their rightful place, which is something he should have done a long time ago. Second, and by far more important, Naruto had told him the secret to defeating the Hokage's bane. If he had not learned this and he got the amount of paperwork from that incident that he did, he would be drowning in paperwork for at least a year. But that was not the case! Thank the log for shadow clones! How he had not thought of using them before was beyond him, but now that he knew, he had so much time on his hands to do what he wanted. He was half tempted to take a S rank mission for the fun of it, but the council would never allow it. So there he was sitting in his chair, almost bored. But he could never truly do nothing for long enough to become bored because there was always someone who would appear through the window to ask something of him.

It was while Hiruzen was contemplating these things that Naruto and Hinata appeared in a swirl of blue flames. Hiruzen looked up at them and said "I see that you two have learned the shunshin. Very impressive for a fresh genin."

Naruto laughed and said "I see that you are enjoying not drowning in paperwork old man."

Hiruzen let out a hearty chuckle and said "Yes, thanks to you. I am in your dept. Now what is it that you two want? I assume that you didn't stop by just to chat."

"Give us twenty D-ranked missions old man." Said Naruto "And you will not need to pay us when we complete them, just make sure that they go on our record when our clones turn them in. We have no need for any extra money, we checked out the clan vault and I don't think that we will ever need to worry about our monetary status ever. Even considering the fact that we will never die unless killed."

Hiruzen chuckled and said "I see that you two are aiming to become chunin as quick as possible. Will your clones be under a henge or will they be your true selves?"

Hinata giggled and said "They will be our true selves. Ruto-kun and I want to get the village used to the fact that we are Hanyou and that we are of no harm to them. So we are starting with common D-ranked missions to get ourselves known throughout the village. We won't care what the villagers say as long as they let us do our jobs. And hopefully after they see us do our jobs, they will begin to appreciate us. But that will be for the clones to do. Ruto-kun and I are heading back to the estate to finish what we had started in the academy classroom before we were rudely interrupted, multiple times."

Hiruzen sweat dropped upon hearing this and he got twenty mission scrolls. He handed them to Naruto and Hinata, who walked out the door. They looked over each of them and Naruto was reading over the scroll that had the capture Tora mission on it when Kurama spoke up in his mind.

"Kit, I have an idea for that mission. Summon your mom. When she tortured the council, she used that cat as one of the ways that she tortured them."

Naruto said "Hai, Kurama-sensei" and went through the hand seals for the summoning jutsu. He slammed his palm on the ground and in a puff of smoke, there was his mother.

"So you want me to summon Tora?" asked Kushina "Very well but I should be the one that gives her to the Hokage, as I am one of the few people that can hold her without getting their face clawed off."

With that said she ran through the hand seals and slammed her palm on the ground saying "Kuchiyose: Oni Neko"

Tora appeared in Kushina's arms in a puff of smoke, and to everyone's surprise, she proceeded to jump out of Kushina's arms and into Hinata's.

Kushina then said "I'm impressed Hinata. The fact that Tora accepts you is all the proof that I need to allow you to sign my special summoning contract." She then clapped her hands and a large scroll appeared in her hands. "This contract will allow you to summon demon cats, and since it is also a demon summoning scroll, it will not interfere with the kitsune scroll that you have already signed. Just think about cats more than foxes when you summon and you'll get a demon cat when you summon."

Kushina handed the scroll to Hinata who had dropped the mission scrolls that she had been carrying when Tora leapt into her arms. She exchanged Tora for the scroll and then unraveled the scroll. She signed her name and blood before attempting to hand the scroll back to Kushina. Kushina shook her head and said "Keep it. Since I'm technically dead, you are now the owner of this summoning scroll. Just clap your hands and the scroll will vanish. If you ever need it again, clap your hands again when you need it and it will appear."

Hinata clapped her hands and the scroll vanished. Kushina handed Tora back to Hinata before poofing away in a cloud of smoke. Hinata then walked back into Hiruzen's office and gave him Tora. He was shocked that it was Hinata holding the demon cat, and not Kushina. Hinata explained what happened before leaving and meeting back up with Naruto outside. They created twenty Kage Bushin each, and gave each of the pairs a mission scroll. The clones shunshined away to do their jobs, leaving the originals alone.

Hinata spoke up and said "I think that that is enough distractions for today, lets head back home."

They then left and decided to walk leisurely back to the estate.

(Outside the Namikaze Compound, 15 minutes later)

Naruto and Hinata had just arrived outside their home to find a platter of delicious looking cinnamon buns on the ground. They were still piping hot. Hinata of course was ecstatic at the find. She took one of the buns and took a large bite out of it (A/N: THIS IS NOT CANNIBALISM! Sheogorath completely turned the root members into cinnamon buns. There is no trace of humanity in said buns). "These are delicious!" she remarked. "You have to try some of these Ruto-kun!"

Just then there was a large flash of purple, and standing there in all of his Madgodliness, was Sheogorath himself. He looked to Hinata and said "Finally! A fellow cinnamon bun connoisseur who likes my tastes in flavors! That means that I won't have to make you skip rope with your entrails! Instead I'll give you a gift!" He snapped his fingers and Hinata got a glazed look on her face.

Naruto was completely startled by the sudden appearance of this man, and was only snapped out of his shock by the blank face that Hinata had. He said to the strange man "Who the hell are you? And what did you do to my Hina-chan?"

Sheogorath laughed and said "Who am I? Well you my dear friend can call me Sheogorath. Or you can call me Ann Marie, but if you do, you will enjoy watching me skip rope with your entrails. As for what I did to your mate, well I gave her a gift. She should be coming back around completely normal if she accepted my gift, and if not, well let's just say her mind will be more twisted than a twister."

At that moment Hinata snapped out of her trance and looked at Sheogorath and asked "Excuse me Sheogorath-sama, but can I really do that now?"

"Oh you Japanese people and your silly honorifics. I'll be taking none of that, thank you very much. As for you being able to do that, why don't you practice on this cabbage?" said Sheogorath before he snapped his fingers, conjuring a cabbage.

Hinata then snapped her fingers, and the cabbage turned into a steaming hot cinnamon bun. Hinata squealed with delight before running over to the bun and taking a huge bite out of the bun. "A bit cabbagey tasting, but still very good!" Hinata remarked to herself.

Sheogorath laughed in amusement before saying "Excellent, you can now turn objects into cinnamon buns. Since you are still a wee bit inexperienced, the bun will take on a little bit of the flavor of the object it had been. But that will go away with practice. Now I have to get back to my palace before the Aureals and Mazkin start to kill each other. But first I have to say, that you" he pointed at Naruto "are the splitting image of your father, minus the fox features of course. But I have to say, those features have given me a wonderfully horrible idea of a new chamber that I could add to Xedilian. That place has been busy nonstop ever since your father reactivated it, and the other chambers are starting to get a bit boring."

Naruto immediately perked up upon hearing about his father and asked "You knew my father? How?"

"Of course I knew your father. He was only the champion of my realm! In fact I would not be here today if your father hadn't chosen to reject the title of madgod after he defeated myself. I would have been him and he would have been me, but he chose to split off from the power of a god and recreated me. So without him, there would be no me! So I am eternally grateful to Minato for not only stopping the graymarch, but also for giving up godhood so that I could be me once again! But I really must be going. I have so little things to do and so much time to do them!"

With that said, Sheogorath disappeared in a flash of purple. Naruto just stood there dumbfounded, until Hinata snapped him out of it and dragged him inside. They then went to their bed where they proceeded to make out. The rest of the day passed slowly by as they entertained themselves by training, reading through jutsu scrolls, or just relaxing by the poolside. Life for Naruto and Hinata Namikaze was currently very good.

()()()()()()()()

And that's a wrap. I'm sorry for those of you who had no clue what I was talking about with Sheogorath, but all I have to say for you is that you should probably by Oblivion and its expansion, The Shivering Isles, and play through them. They are absolutely amazing. You will also then know exactly what is going on with what I referenced. So now Hinata can turn objects into cinnamon buns and she has signed the demon cat summoning contract. I gave her a lot of gifts in this chapter, but rest assured, she will make good use of them. Does ramen flavored cinnamon buns give anyone any ideas? Hinata will have no problem luring Naruto to the dark side of the bun.

Anyways, there still is the omake to go, so let's get on with that!

Wheel of Torture chapter 3: special Sasuke edition

Sasuke was brooding. Sure he was always brooding, but this time he was extra moody. The dobe had completely showed him up today, and he was going to get revenge. He now knew that the dobe lived at the Namikaze compound, but he still refused to believe that the dobe was actually a Namikaze. So Sasuke, in his infinite wisdom, decided that if the dobe could break into the Namikaze compound, then it would be a breeze for an Uchiha to do it. He was going to go in, steal as much as he could, and leave before the dobe knew that he was there.

So that brings us to the current situation. Sasuke was standing in front of the iron door, wondering how to get in. He put his hand on the door, not even injecting any chakra, when suddenly the Kanji for "Uchiha Alert" was written on the door and the door began spinning the wheel.

The wheel stopped on "Special Skyrim Chickens".

Suddenly all around Sasuke, poofs of smoke appeared and when they cleared, there stood a dozen chickens, who were slowly and menacingly closing in on Sasuke. The moment the first one got close to Sasuke, it started shining brightly, before exploding violently. It was only Sasuke's skills as a ninja that saved his life, but he was still badly burned. Deciding that it wasn't worth it, he turned and ran towards the safety of the Uchiha compound.

Several people saw the last Uchiha running for his life from chickens. They were quite confused. However, the root members that saw him just thanked the log that the door had given that punishment to someone else.

And from then forth, the last Uchiha, like all of root, developed a fear of the feathered kind.

()()()()()()()()

And that's that. As much as I would like to, I can't kill off Sasuke. Besides, who else would be the prime bashing candidate? I hope you guys liked the exploding chickens. Several people actually suggested it to me, so if you were one of those people, pat yourself on the back. I was just in an elder scrolls mood today. The only game that we haven't gotten something from is Morrowind, so I need to think about what I can include from that game, as it is my personal favorite of the elder scrolls series.

But enough of that,

Until next time
