Chapter 5: training and betrothal
At one of the training grounds Kushina was waiting for her new team of students. She had been waiting for a few minutes when she was approached by a familiar figure.
"Hello Gai." she said nonchalantly.
"Hello Kushina," he replied, "Who are you waiting for?"
"My team," she answered.
"Oh then I will get mine. I wish for them to see each other." With that said he took off.
Only a few seconds after he left did a plume of golden fire appear. It dispersed to reveal Naruto, Ino and Hinata. The two girls looked a little dizzy."Naruto what was that?" asked a shaky Ino.
"A shushin of a different kind," he answered
"Warn us next time," said Hinata as she found her legs.
"Glad to see you're all here," Kushina said getting everyone's attention. Hinata and Ino were staring at one of the strongest kunoichi ever.
Just then Gai returned with a tall boy with hyuuga eyes and long hair, a girl in a pink shirt and hair tied up in buns and a boy who looked almost exactly like him only with out the chuunin vest.
"Good to see you!" he yelled in a loud voice.
Everyone was shocked at the sight of the strange man. Gai looked everyone over until he saw Naruto.
"You! Your that boy with the strange taijutsu.!"
Naruto grinned. "Yep. So you said you wanted me to fight one of your students?"
"Yes I did. Lee!"
The boy who looked like Gai jumped down in front of him.
"Yes, Gai-sensei?" he asked
"I want you to fight this boy." he answered.
Lee surveyed his opponent and got in a taijutsu stance.
Naruto drew his swords and sank them into the ground. The girl was looking at them with unhidden interest. Since she was the daughter of a weapons shop owner she had a thing for weapons.
Naruto got into a stance of his own.
"This fight is just to see what you can do," said Lee hoping that this wouldn't invoke any hard feeling in his new friend.
"Right," answered Naruto.
The two shot at each other. Lee threw a punch but Naruto blocked it and gripping the wrist threw him like a rag doll.
Naruto got into stance "Dragon claw style: Dragon Barrage!" Naruto took off and uppercut Lee into the air. Naruto then formed shadow clones and flew up in the air. As they flew above them they covered themselves in silver chakra. They drove downward and each slammed a fist into Lee's gut. The force of the blows sent Lee into the ground forming a crater. As the smoke cleared Lee was found out cold.
Lee's team was shocked. This kid had just beaten one of there best members in less than two minutes.
"Well," Gai said breaking the silence, "Naruto wins."
Hinata and Ino had hearts in their eyes and Kushina had a look of pride.
Naruto grabbed his swords and put them in there sheaths. At this moment the girl in pink came up to him.
"Hi. I'm Ten-ten."
"Naruto."
"Um I was wondering…Where did you get those swords?" she asked.
"They were given to me by friends." Naruto said honestly.
The other Hyuuga was looking at Hinata with a look of contempt in his eyes. Naruto noticed this and sent a glare of his own at him.
As Gai and his team left Naruto faced his two teammates.
"Okay lets get down to the chase," he said taking out his swords, "Who is starting first."
"I'll go first," said Hinata.
With that the training got underway.
Meanwhile…
At another training ground Minato was seeing if he was weak after being in a coma for twelve years. He formed a rasengan and slammed it into a dummy. He was surprised when the dummy was sent flying back and smashed through the forest before a sudden stop when it hit a mountain.
"Apparently when Naruto woke me and my wife up he made us stronger." he thought.
"Very impressive."
Minato turned to see some of the clan leaders of Konoha. Inoich, Tsume, Mr. Nagarashi, and Hiashi.
Minato looked at his old friends. "I take it this isn't for a reunion." he said.
"No," Tsume said.
At that moment Sasuke showed up with Sakura at his heel. No surprise.
"Not now kid this is a grown up matter." Minato said obviously not in the mood for this little twerp.
Sasuke just ignored him
"I want you to teach me your secrets" he said
"What?!" all the clan heads yelled.
"Kid that is not going to happen in this or any other life time." said an obviously angered Hiashi.
"You have no choice. I'm an Uchiha an elite. I deserve such secrets." he said arrogantly with Sakura agreeing.
He turned to Minato "Make them teach me and when they are done you will."
Minato stormed up to him and lifted him up by the collar and looked angrily into his eyes.
"You won't be getting anything from them. The only reason you had pull before was because of the civilian council with it gone you are nothing." He growled.
"Don't you know who I am?" Sasuke asked him in an angry voice that said he was angry that he was being refused what he wanted.
"No and I don't care!" he yelled slamming his fist into Sasuke's ribs cracking them. "Now," growled lifting him up again, "Get yourself to the hospital to get those looked at or better yet… (forms a rasengan in his palm) Let me help you." he slammed the rasengan into Sasuke's chest and sent him flying like a rag doll across the village and into the wall of the hospital. Sakura ran off in hot pursuit of her "love". (What a pain)
"I take it this isn't the first time he did this," he said looking at the clan heads.
"No," said Inoichi, "he been wanting us to teach him our clan secrets. He's even ordered us to give him our daughter so he can revive his clan."
"So why do you want to see me?"
"Minato, we wish to offer your son, Naruto our daughters in marriage." said Tsume.
"What?!"
Mr. Nagarashi(Ten-ten's dad never learned his first name)calmed Minato down.
"It's only going to happen when he's old enough to marry. He will have to get to know his new brides, of course."
Minato was quiet for a while.
"I'll ask him about it."
The clan leaders left on that note
"Naruto your life just got complicated." he thought once they were gone.
Authors note: So Naruto is betrothed. Let's hope the girls take it well and that Naruto doesn't freak out. Sasuke will try to get the girls but it won't end well. Thank heaven. See you next time.
