Enter Naruto Uzumaki
A few years later…
Konoha, a nice and quaint village of bright and warm weather, but don't let its appearance fool you. Though it is nice and pleasant it is also one of the "Great Five Shinobi Nations" which is led by the Hokage, said to be the strongest of his/her village. The faces of all past Hokage are engraved upon the mountain side overlooking the village. Because of the respect and appreciation that they receive it is one boy's dream to one day receive this title. This is where our story begins…
"Ha ha ha… You'll never catch me now!" a boy with blonde hair said as he climbed a tree and began jumping from limb to limb.
"HEY THAT'S NOT FAIR! WE'RE NOT ALL MONKEYS LIKE YOU!" one boy with wild animal like eyes and messy hair yelled.
"Heh heh," chuckled the fa-… uh, obviously big boned boy that seemed to be inhaling chips like they were air.
"WHO YOU CALLIN' A MONKEY DOG BOY…!? AND JUST WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHIN' AT DOUGH BOY!?" the blonde said in a fit of rage while hanging from a tree limb with his monkey like tail.
"A jeez, how troublesome. Naruto's crossed the line now, he should know better by now. Maybe I should get goin' before I end up as collateral damage," thought the boy with the unenthusiastic look on his face.
Everyone knew what was coming next as they all became horrified at the transformation taking place in front of them.
The once jolly and cheerful Chouji slowly but surely began to look more and more vicious as the seconds passed until…
"NARUTOOO!!... I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THAT!" said the chu---… uh, healthy sized boy screamed as he pushed Kiba aside, sending him flying, and began to bull rush the tree containing Naruto.
"What a pain," Shikamaru plainly stated as he noticed what appeared to be a caravan of important looking people headed in their direction.
As it passed Shikamaru couldn't help but notice that a lot of the people were looking in their direction as both Naruto and Chouji could be heard in the background exchanging insults…
"HEY TAKE IT EASY, I WAS JUST JOKING…!"
"YOU'RE AS GOOD AS DEAD NARUTOOO!!"
"OH YEAH… I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY YOU TUB OF LARD!"
Upon hearing this Chouji became even more furious and began to attack the tree viciously. Both Kiba and Shikamaru covered their faces with their hands in embarrassment as they could feel the hot gazes of the passer byes, when suddenly…
Cr-CR-CRAAACK! The branch Naruto was hanging from gave out and fell hurdling towards the earth.
Everyone looked up to see as they could hear Naruto falling. Above him the huge branch wasn't too far behind. If it were to fall on him, it spelled the end for him…
As everyone looked on in horror, Naruto decided that it was now or never if he wanted to live. He used his tail to swing himself to the side of the branch and launched into the air.
This time everyone looked on in amazement at the incredible feat, but it quickly returned to horror as they realized exactly where he was going to land…
"MOVE THE CARRIAGE, QUICKLY!" one of the travelers yelled, but they could not act fast enough.
Upon hearing all the commotion Naruto realized what was about to happen and he didn't care because it beat hitting the hard ground… until he noticed that someone was in the carriage…
"OH CRAAP!" he screamed knowing how disastrous it would turn out. He knew he had no choice but to use THAT…
He made a few hand signs and all that could be seen was a flash of light before everything was blanketed in a cloud of dust.
Panic was all that could be seen as the dust rose and began to settle...
"WHAT HAPPENED?! WHERE ARE THE PRINCESSES?!" Asked the man from before with worry evident in his voice.
As the dust continued to clear he began to hope for the best but prepared himself for the worst possible scenario…
When the dust finally settled the carriage could be seen in near perfect condition (no longer as clean as it was due to the dust). With this the man with long hair and white eyes gave a sigh of relief. His expression then changed to that of anger as he wondered where the peasant that had endangered the princesses was…
He didn't have to look far because on the other side of the carriage, a few feet away, was the so called peasant. He didn't look to be hurt but he wasn't moving as one of the other travelers ran over to check on him…
After hearing that Naruto was alright but unconscious Shikamaru realized that he had forgotten about Chouji. He turned around only to see him sitting beside the monstrous tree limb as Kiba walked over to him...
"Jeez, you really went overboard Chouji. You knocked over the entire tree," Kiba stated.
"B-But… I didn't knock over the tree. I jumped to the side and saw this bright beam of light hit the tree," replied Chouji.
Upon hearing Chouji's response both Shikamaru and the man, and a few of the other travelers, realized that it must have been a result of whatever Naruto did.
Everyone began to ask and wonder exactly how Naruto could have done such a feat. At that point Shikamaru began to evaluate everything that had happened and finally pieced together the puzzle...
"I got it!" he said beginning to explain it to everyone else…
"As Naruto was in the air he realized that he was going to crash into the carriage and decided to stop it from happening. He then did some kind of jutsu that, while knocking over the tree, propelled him over the carriage to where he is now," he stated allowing everyone to take in the information he provided.
"Incredible! It all happened so fast and this young one figured it all out and presented it as if it wasn't as complicated as it seemed. This village is indeed full of young talent," thought the man with long hair and white eyes.
"Well done," he said to Shikamaru, "now why don't you and your other friends go home now," the man said sternly.
Kiba began to speak up but decided not to push his luck after looking at the man's scary expression. As he, Shikamaru, and Chouji ran for the village they all wished the best of luck to Naruto.
I'm going to put out a lot of chapters at once because I got a little carried away. So for the next couple of days or so, there'll be a bunch of submissions from me...
Naruto left in the care of Hiashi Hyuuga...
What does he want with him?
Find out in the next chapter... Which is coming right up...
