Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 3
"Sakura Haruno?"
Naruto nodded.
"As in the civilian girl?" Sasuke continued.
Naruto grinned.
"Why would you want her she's a coward?"
Naruto draped his arm across Sasuke's shoulders. "Sasuke my man didn't I just tell you that deception is a key part of being a ninja?"
Sasuke eyed Naruto's arm. "Please remove and refrain from putting your hand arm whatever on my person."
Naruto backed away slowly.
"Sakura is one of my fan girls. It shouldn't be hard to get her to join us," Sasuke spoke up continuing from where he left off.
Naruto blinked.
"What?" asked Sasuke.
"That easy...just like that...when I had to blackmail you into joining me..."
Sasuke shrugged. "She's the top female in the theory portion. It's easier to believe she's deceiving everyone than the dead last. If you were an average student then yeah but nope you just suck."
Naruto sighed and shook his head. "Let's just go get Fivehead-san."
'I feel a disturbance in the force,' Inner Sakura spoke.
"Remind me to hit Naruto," Sakura said.
'I'm not against hitting anything or anyone but why the blond?' Inner Sakura spoke leaning on a table.
"I don't know but my attacking senses are tingling."
'Oh I should come out then. I'll punch him...haha I'll rip out his spleen with my hand then feast on it as if it was breakfast...' A grin appeared on Inner Sakura's face.
"That's exactly why I don't let you out."
'Whoa...wait a minute...you act as if you're the real Sakura. We all know I'm the real one.' Inner Sakura straighten up in her seat. She raised a brow.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "If you were the real Sakura then you would be out right now."
Inner Sakura sighed. She proceeded to take over the body. Outer Sakura was forced back into her mind where she was quickly destroyed.
"I let them get a taste of outside and they want to get out of control..." the pink haired girl shook her head.
She put her kunai back into her pouch. She didn't need it. She enjoyed tearing into the bodies of her poor victims with her bare hands much more than any weapons. Having the blood of her enemies' coat her hands sent her on a high that almost nothing could bring her down from.
Fully bathing in their blood gave her an even more euphoria like feeling.
Sakura walked through the gym like forest as if she owned the place. An insane grinned made its way onto her face. Briefly she thought about making another inner that'd be forced with doing all the mundane tasks like walking. That thought was quickly squashed. As much as it pained her, she knew the limit to her chakra.
Unrealistically the pinkette wished she had the amount of chakra Naruto had. It wasn't a secret that the blond owned everyone in chakra. Sakura was no fool though. Unless blessed by kami, Sakura would never beat Naruto in chakra. The Uchiha boy on the other was a more realistic goal. He had a lot of chakra for one his age but it was still within the range of a soon to be genin.
And yet...
"I'm all brains and no brawns," she sighed.
Her fingers twitched. She could feel it brewing within her. Soon she would need to fight to get rid of the burning that was igniting inside of her.
"Sakura!"
The pinkette turned to the sound of her name. Before her stood Sasuke Uchiha. The urge to run over to him came over her. She wanted to bring him into a bone crushing hug and ask him on a date.
"Ugh I let her have too much control over my body for too long."
A figure moved in her peripheral vision. Sakura eyes lit on fire. The burning came back. "DIE!" she screamed as she dashed over to Naruto.
Sakura pulled her fist back. She punch Naruto in the face. Naruto went flying back
He hit a tree with enough force that it fell over.
Sasuke eyes widen. "If she had this much power why did she always run away?"
Naruto stood up brushing the dirt from off of him. "Haha! What did I tell you Uchiha duck boy there's more to her than what meets the eye."
His laughter grew louder and louder. He kneeled over unable to stay up straight. BAM!
"Shut up baka! You're too loud! You trying to let everyone know our location!" Sakura shouted.
Sasuke and Naruto wisely kept shut about how she too was being very loud.
"Sakura I want you to join us," Sasuke spoke nonchalantly.
Hearts grew in the pinkette eyes. She faced Sasuke with a smile. Her mouth opened ready to join them when her mind caught up to her.
"If they searched me out to join them that means I'm important...meaning they need me..."
Her smile slowly morphed into a grin. Sasuke felt a shiver go down his spine.
"I will join..."
"Yes!" Naruto exclaimed.
"However," Sakura quickly continued, "Sasuke must agree to take me on a date at least once each week until we make chunin. You may pick the day. Along with that you must not go out or show any interest in anyone else. If we are having a fast paced mission then once we get back you must do something special for me like a massage, a very nice present, anything along those lines. If our mission is slow paced then you will continue to take me on a date. As well as I expected souvenirs from each place we visit outside of Konoha. Last but certainly not least twice a week we must train alone with each other. You may also pick those days."
All the blood drained from Sasuke face.
Naruto stuffed his fist into his mouth to keep from laughing. His eyes flashed back and forth between pinky and duck boy. The blond only regretted that he had no popcorn.
"You can't be serious!" Duck boy finally shouted.
Sakura reached into her pouch and pulled out a contract, "Actually I am. Do any of you have a pen?"
Just to keep the fun going Naruto handed pinky a pen.
Sakura tweaked her If-Sasuke-Ever-Ask-For-Anything-Force-Him-To-Date-Me-Contract. She held the contract out to the boys.
"Sasuke you sign here where it says vict... I mean object of contract. Naruto you need to sign as well next to the witness line."
Naruto quickly grabbed the contract and signed his name under witness. The blond passed the contract over to Sasuke. The Uchiha boy stared at the paper in his hands.
"We don't got all day Uchiha filth. The longer you wait the quicker I might just blab," Naruto threatened.
Sasuke flinched. "What make you think we're going to even be on the same team!"
"Are you draft?" Sakura closed her mouth before she could say anymore.
"He doesn't know hehe," the pinkette thought.
"Alright. That contract will be assuming that you and I are on the same team. However I'm willing to place a bet," Sakura said sounding disinterested.
"You're on!"
"I bet that we will be on the same team if I win then I get to come and go from the Uchiha library as I please until we both reach jounin!"
Sasuke eyes narrowed. Not only would she be seeing his library but she'll also be entering his home whenever she pleases.
"I bet that we won't be on the same team and if I win then you must never try to get me under a contract ever again!"
Naruto rolled his eyes. He was done with pinky and duck boy conversation. He looked around him. The trio had been in the same spot for a while now but there was no signs of someone coming after them.
"They need to hurry up! I'm not sure how much longer she could defend us all by herself," the blond thought worriedly.
"Naruto you need to sign on the witness line!" Sasuke and Sakura shouted at him.
"Now that dumb and dumber are done we need to go find our last member."
Sakura cracked her knuckles. "Who you calling dumb?"
"Now now let's not get upset. We still need our last member."
Sakura calmed down. She sighed and shook her head. "Who's the last member?"
Sasuke looked on curious on well.
Naruto did not girn. The blond refrained from smirking. He didn't frown, or show any other negative expression. Naruto looked at them with a smile on his face.
"Hinata Hyuuga," the name rolled off his tongue with happiness and concealed respect.
See no evil. Speak no evil. Hinata Hyuuga nicknames were the mute and the blind. No one in The Academy ever heard her talk. She kept her eyes closed. It was no secret that on December twenty-seventh, her birthday, the Kumo ambassador tried to kidnap her. He had gotten outside Konoha walls with her before he died. Officially his killer was Hiashi Hyuuga father of Hinata and clan head. Off the records, however, no one knew who had killed the ambassador.
Yet ever since that attempted kidnapping the young Hyuuga kept her eyes and mouth shut.
Two years after incident Hinata Hyuuga was disowned and banished from the Hyuuga clan.
It was rumored that during the kidnapping the ambassador damaged her voice box and tried to harvest her eyes.
It was also rumored that Hinata knew who the real killer was. She was too afraid to speak and kept her eyes shut from reality.
Speak no evil. See no evil.
Only three people knew what happened that night the ambassador, Hinata, and the killer. Only one was able to shed light on the mysterious kidnapping.
And since the killer wasn't stepping forward no one will ever know.
Hinata was entered into The Academy with the help of the Hokage. Her grades mysteriously stayed average. On every test, homework assignment, and classwork, Hinata manage to get the same score every time. She kept away from everyone. She was the lone wolf of The Academy. Not once did she ever join a team during the exams. Every group project they had was done by herself.
"Why do we need her?" Sakura asked. She knew Hinata didn't want anything to do with her not yet boyfriend. However, she still didn't want the bluenette near him.
"Think pinky! How is it possible for the Hyuuga to see with her eyes always closed...I'll wait," Naruto folded his arms patiently waiting. He bounced on the balls of his feet, humming to himself as time ticked by.
Realization finally dawned on Sakura. "Everyone assumed that she kept her eyes shut because they were just empty sockets. And yet she moves perfectly fine. Most of the things she does would be impossible if she couldn't see. It would take years for her to gain heighten senses though that still can't be ruled out..."
"You think she still have the Byakugan?" questioned the last Uchiha.
Naruto shrugged, "It explains everything."
"It explains nothing! It actually brings more questions!" Sasuke yelled.
Naruto grinned at Sakura and Sasuke. "Look underneath the underneath..."
Somewhere in Konoha a silver haired masked man cried manly tears of pain. Just seconds earlier he was demoted from ANBU. His first none ANBU job was to take care of a team of snot nose Academy survivors.
And he'd have an assistant teacher.
"...you may find that not everything is as it seems," the blond continued.
Sakura raised a brow. "So you're not really insane?"
Naruto flashed her an insulted look. "Insane? Me? I am a genius A (evil) GENIUS! Hahaha!"
"Hahaha! You a genius? Don't make me laugh!"
Both Sasuke and Naruto refrained from mentioning how she had already laughed.
The Uchiha boy tried his best to tune out his two partners. He didn't want to believe that Naruto was a genius. "I'd deny it forever but only someone really smart can ever figure out the Uchihas secret. Not even the Hokage knows it."
Sasuke sighed. 'Come on let's go find the exiled girl."
"Right," Naruto grinned happily, "Onwards this way." He turned around and pointed off into the distance.
"That's the way we just came from dobe."
Naruto grinned even more, "And if we retrace our steps then we're bound to run into Hinata."
Bam! "That doesn't make since!" Sakura shouted as she punched him.
Naruto rubbed his head and glared at her. "Well that's the way we must go in..."
Snap!
All three soon to be genins looked over to where they heard the stick break. In the direction Naruto had pointed in was a girl. The girl had blue hair pulled into a high bun with two hairpins keeping it in place. She wore a beige colored coat with the Hyuuga symbol scratched out. Creamy colored eyelids stared back at the three academy students.
"Uh hi..."
"Hn."
"Hinata!" Naruto shouted joyfully.
Hinata nodded in their direction. The ex-Hyuuga walked passed them.
"See! If we had gone in that direction we would have already met up with Hinata but noooo you guys didn't want to listen to the genius..."
Bam!
Naruto rubbed his head but continued to smile. "Hey Hinata you wanna join my team."
Hinata faced them. The members already in Team Naruto would be lying if they said they weren't creeped out by Hinata.
Hinata nodded her head.
"Great," Naruto exclaimed, "Now we can get started on a game..."
"Whoa hold on a minute. Just like that...you're not even going to ask questions?"
Hinata faced the ground. She played with her fingers as a small blush formed on her face.
"How rude Sasuke! Hinata can't talk how can she ask questions!" Naruto shouted as he glared angrily at the Uchiha boy.
Sasuke did not have the decency to look embarrassed. Sakura rolled her eyes and stepped forward.
"Hinata you will be joining a team with me, Sasuke-kun, and Naruto no Baka, do you still want to join us?"
In another universe none of this would actually be happening.
Hinata nodded her head again. She raised her hands. Her fingers started moving.
*I would love to join Naruto-kun team.*
Sakura looked at Hinata's fingers. "I apologize but I don't know sign language."
"I just had to destroy that other me she knew loads of useless crap. Sign language must have been in her knowledge. Cha! I'll just have to learn it myself now," Sakura thought angrily.
Naruto hopped up grinning, "Okay now here's the plan..."
"Hold up who made you the leader?" Sasuke questioned glaring at the blond.
Naruto pointed angrily at Sasuke, "You did that's who!" he shouted. His finger shook as he glared at the dark haired boy.
Sasuke continued with his Uchiha glare, "Really now and why would I do something completely stupid as that?"
Naruto gave him a pointed look. "*Cough* Uchiha top secrete *Cough*," the blond whispered horribly.
Sasuke lost his Uchiha glare. His face became unreadable as he sighed. "Hn. What's the plan?"
Naruto grinned wickedly, "Glad you see it my way. So here's what we're going to do…"
"Shouldn't we go after the backpacks first?"
Naruto whipped his head around glaring at Sakura. "Would you people stop interrupting me!" he screamed, "And no we're not going after the backpacks. It takes about fifteen minutes to reach the back of the gym from the front anyone who originally went for the backpacks are idiots..."
Sakura blushed.
Sasuke "Hn."
"...Two the time it took to finished you and Sasuke little weird contract relationships thing fifteen minutes been over..."
Again Sakura blushed.
Again Sasuke "Hn."
"...three I'm the leader and what I say goes now everyone follow my lead."
Naruto took off running into the forest. Hinata took off running after him. Sasuke shared a look with Sakura. Slowly they turned around. Behind them stood ten lower level academy teachers. Quickly before they could attack Sakura reached into her pouch. She pulled out three smoke bombs and threw them into the ground. As the smoke hid them, Sasuke and Sakura made their escape down the same way Naruto and Hinata had run.
Both cursed the blond in their heads repeatedly.
Side Story One:
After dashing off Hinata and Naruto slowed to a brisk walk. Naruto looked over at Hinata. He looks her up and down trying to see if there was any injury on her. Hinata caught him looking she sent him a small smile. Raising her fingers she signed to him.
*I'm Fine Naruto-kun.*
Naruto nodded his head. "We were taking too long did you have any problem?"
The ex-Hyuuga shook her head. *Only a few genin hopefuls that made it too close to you all. I took care of them."
Naruto grinned. "I bet they're going to be super pissed," Naruto spoke referring to their other teammates.
Hinata grinned. *Sakura is going to super punch you.*
Naruto face paled. He jumped into Hinata's arms. "Save me Hinata! Don't let that demon anywhere near me."
Hinata shook her head. *I have a plan Naruto-kun but first you have to agree to a date with me.*
Naruto gave her a mock glare, "Don't tell me you have a contract as well?"
Hinata raised a brow. *And if I did?*
Naruto grinned cheekily at her, "I'd sign it."
Hinata nodded her head. *Bummer I do not have one.*
"Eh I'll agree to it anyway. My word is Law Hinata dearie. I keep all my agreements."
Hinata nodded her head. Outside it looked as if nothing changed with her expression. Inside, however, Hinata was on cloud nine. She couldn't help but think he was referencing something else with his words. It didn't matter at the moment. She had more important things to think of.
Like what was she to wear to her date?
A/n: I want to make theses longer but I don't think that will happen till after The Academy arc.
Hoped you guys enjoyed the read will try to update soon.
