Konoha High: Soon to be War
Chapter 2
Hey MM here I just wanted to say thank you to the people that helped me by being a fan and posting reviews; special thanks to Smart like Shika. Smart like Shika was the only one to continue to talk to me via instant messages. I bow in his honor. He is a true friend to me now. Anyway kiss up points pushed to the side; LET'S GET THIS STARTED.
Disclaimer: Honestly people, you should know by now that I do not own Naruto, nor will I ever want to it is too troublesome.
Summary: well figure it out yourselves. Also I would like to add I probably will bypass all the classes unless I have an idea I want to throw into the works but other than that, that is all the skipping I will be doing in this story even the complete silence of walking I will add in just for your enjoyment. One more thing don't diss on my grammar.
Rated M for Lang for this chapter
*****Flashback
The Last two classes were boring as normal. Naruto was sitting in a tree with Hana beside him. Kiba, Gaara and the new girls where sitting with their backs to the tree while waiting for Kakashi. Twenty minutes went by without him showing up. Then he showed up with a few other teachers as well, Anko, Asuma, and Tsunade. "We ready to go?" Kakashi asked flatly.
*****End of Flashback
Anko looked at the group of people that she would be spending her time with and smiled due to her two favorite students being there. Sure she would never admit her favorite students but Naruto took the cake, him and Kiba always made her class enjoyable. Asuma would agree to that matter he had found that Naruto was like his little brother, however he already had a younger brother, but Naruto acted his age, unlike the snobbish actual little brother.
"Bout time Kakashi-sensei" Kiba stated flatly. Kakashi only smiled, which had Kiba steaming from being pissed off at Kakashi.
Naruto decided to speak up before Kiba ended up dead. "Let's get going shall we?" Hana was by his side the whole time. She was also getting jealous stares at her from the two other girls in their age group. Anko seeing this as a way to make trouble also walked over to Naruto and took one of his arms and smiled evilly at the two girls. Hana grabbed the other and started off in the direction of Ichiraku's family diner. Kiba chased off after his sister and his best-friend. The two girls on the other hand turned to one another and smiled, shook hands, and ran after all of them. Gaara smiled at his adoptive older brother's misfortune. Tsunade was laughing very hard while Asuma ran off to stop things before things got out of hand. Kakashi also chuckled before deciding to help Asuma. Hana and Anko were pissed when they noticed that they were not caring Naruto anymore. They looked to their right to see Kakashi and Asuma running off with Naruto. Then the two new girls approached.
"Hey Hana … I think that's what your name is?" Ino half asked half stated. "What's up with you and Naruto … not to be rude or anything?" Hana was pondering with screwing with them and when Anko looked over she knew she would. Sasuta looked on curious also.
"Hmm … me and Naruto-kun, huh? Hmm … well, I slept with him if that's what you're asking." Hana told innocently. Sasuta's jaw dropped, Ino blushed and looked away and Anko busted out laughing. After a few minutes of confusion Anko told what really happened and why they shared a bed, but nothing more, Naruto was too much of a gentleman to do something like that with a girl he had just met. Everyone missed the look Sasuta gave Ino. After some idle talk about the weather and how it was unusually the same almost year round, which baffled meteorologists for years now. Even weirder, around Christmas time it got cold and snowed just for about a week or so. Then they arrived at the dinner. Anko ordered her usual dango, Kiba and Kakashi ordered some ramen, Gaara and Naruto both chose the ultimate burger with egg, cheese, mayo, ½ a pound of meat cooked to medium well, fried onion rings on it, with cheese fries on the side with a pickle and ranch to dip the fries in, Asuma went with some baby back ribs, while the rest of the girls there decided that a salad was very appetizing besides Tsunade who went with a steak cooked to well done, and had steamed vegetables and white rice served with it. During the meal everyone caught up with one another, while the two new girls asked questions. Kakashi decided that he should read up on his military team and he opened up his briefcase that he had and pulled out two copies of the men that he would serve with. He passed one to Naruto, who for his part just moved it to the side so he could finish his meal. Kakashi ate and read until he read something that startled him a little. Kakashi decided to speak up.
"So, Naruto, Gaara, umm what is this with you two being the only ones that got the SS drug to work on and what the hell is up with the armor you are requesting for you two, Kiba and myself?" Asked a curious and yet astonished Kakashi.
Naruto spook up due to Gaara having a coughing fit. Naruto almost lost his appetite, key word there almost. Naruto ate the cheesy fry in his hand and spook up. "Well, sir, it is as it says it is. Gaara and I are the only two, to come out alive, out of the SS drug and still have it work the rest of the people died or the drug never took effect. It's a shame really but it only works partially. I believe that you already know of the effects of the drug correct?" Kakashi nodded he knew the drug it was called SS for a reason the first S stood for Super the second S was for Soldier. As it implies the Super Soldier was supposed to be born by being injected with this drug. The drug was discontinued due to the fact that it killed everyone slowly and painfully. Apparently Naruto and Gaara were the only two that could withstand the drug. 'Probably the demons I guess' Kakashi thought. The drug was supposed to allow the recipient to withstand a lot of gunfire without dieing. However what Naruto said rose suspicions to Kakashi that in fact that was not completely true. "For the Armor, Sir, I find that if you have a full group of regular soldiers' easy targets, however, the same could be said for a group of men wearing just that armor. My train of thought is that if you mix the two groups together only having four or five men out of a platoon of men wearing that armor the enemy will focus on us, while we provide covering fire, the rest of our men will take everyone else down. Back to the SS drug everything about that is classified but all I can tell you is that explosions will still affect us, and bullets will hurt like hell but will not kill, except very well placed sniper rounds." Naruto finished by taking a huge bit out of his burger and nodded for Gaara to continue.
"To add to what Naruto said, my dosage was higher then Naruto's however the pain that came from it was the same. Naruto will feel the shots more than I will, but do not worry we will act as the dominant figures meaning first in last out. We can take multiple hits you can not, so, sir, do not argue, if you do we will do what we think is right anyway." Gaara, like Naruto finished while eating. Kakashi sighed knowing that they were right and shook his head saying he understood. Everyone else looked on confused with the little information they had just received except Anko. She stood from the table walked over to Naruto and told the group that she would be burrowing him for a minute.
Anko walked with Naruto to the adjacent ally way with Naruto right behind her. Anko stopped and turned around and stared with saddened eyes at Naruto. "What's up sis?" Naruto asked concern etching his voice making it crack a little.
"Naruto … do you … do you know what happened with … with … Iruka?" Anko said while stuttering like she would start crying."
Naruto knew him he was one of the men that administered the SS drug. Naruto also knew that he was arrested for telling non-essential people about the SS drug. Then he remembered that Anko was one of the people that Iruka had told things about; more or less she forced things out of him, this led to his arrest. Naruto knew that Anko knew that he was arrested because of her, but he also knew that she did not need the guilt of what actually happened to him. He was hung for treason. Naruto sighed not knowing what to do, he knew she would figure it out sooner our later, but he just couldn't bare to see her hurt like that. So he lied. "He is in protective custody far away on an island that holds some people for treason. He is on another side of the island where they actually aren't as bad as the other side." That was a half truth the island was there, however, it was a cemetery, in honor for what they did before becoming treasonous.
Anko sighed in relief, then walked over to Naruto and hugged him. "Will he ever be released and can I see him?" asked Anko.
Naruto went through his own pain said what he had to. "Sorry sis, unless you want to be arrested too, then no you can not go see him, and he will never be released for he already carries information that is dangerous." Naruto bit his lip for the next part. "I heard from a buddy that works there, that he got married recently and that he is happy with what he has. Anko smiled brightly and hugged Naruto again.
"Good for him, ok let's go back then." Anko said with a smiled and left with Naruto back to the dinner, where Naruto proceeded to eat while reading about the men that would serve with them. Naruto frowned at the one girl that would be serving on his team, not because he was sexist, but because he never wanted a girl to go through what soldiers that took dangerous missions all the time go through. The rest of the meal was talking like normal and asking questions. Once the meal was done and people where paid for Anko picked up Naruto's tab, Kakashi took Gaaras' Asuma took Tsunadas' and the new girls. Hana and Kiba paid their own. Naruto smiled at Gaara his roommate and waved goodbye to Hana and Kiba. The rest of the group walked back to the school. Naruto and Gaara both had part time jobs starting again tomorrow. Those jobs went to things they wanted. The government paid for everything else. They had both done this for several years now so both Gaara and Naruto owned two motorcycles. Naruto had a complete black Yamaha YZF-R6, and Gaara had a dark maroon Honda CBR 125. They both put on their helmets and took off for home. Naruto had his IPod blasting one of his favorite songs I Don't Care by Three Days Grace. Naruto gunned the engine and his bike took off followed seconds later by Gaara's. The two of them weaved in and out of traffic professionally. Gaara who was following Naruto closely was listening to his own IPod. The song he currently was listening to was City by Hollywood Undead. Naruto and Gaara pulled up to a red light when they heard the engine of a familiar car that happened to belong to Hinata. She pulled up in her 2005 VW Bug. Naruto nodded to Gaara. He then flipped up the visor on his helmet and looked over towards Hinata. "Hey there, I place a bet on whoever gets to the next light wins gets something they want, deal?" Naruto asked.
Hinata grinned evilly completely forgetting the bike that Naruto was using was nothing short of awesome. "I agree but when I win you and I will continue dating with no breaking up or complaining unless done by me."
Naruto smirked. "Deal if I win you never talk to me or my friends ever again, ever, you got that if you do I get full permission to beat the shit out of you and take your car." Hinata nodded again still failing to estimate the pure strength of Naruto's bike. As soon as the light turned green, Naruto was gone. Hinata spent a full 12 seconds peeling her tires. Naruto had a huge lead and he wasn't going to let up. Naruto saw the other light, and smoothly pulled up to it and stopped. Hinata pulled up about half a minute later. Naruto looked over and said an 'I win', noticed the light turned green he flipped her the bird and took off again making a sharp right turn, this time headed for home. Naruto just held the throttle down at about 45 until he saw Gaara's bike in the drive way. He slowed down to a crawl and pulled in right next to Gaara, stopped the bike and got off. Took his helmet off and smirked with a thumb up to Gaara. Gaara smiled at Naruto, and walked with him into their shared apartment. Naruto walked over to the IPod dock and placed his IPod in it and cranked the music with the song being The Downfall of Us All by A Day to Remember. Gaara grabbed his backpack and pulled out his AP Biology Homework and started. Naruto walked to his room and laid out some clothes, he then jumped in the shower and waited, when the water turned pleasant enough he washed his hair and body. Gaara heard the shower and turned and looked at the time. It was 8:23. He finished up the remaining problems, then stood up and walked over to the IPod and changed songs to What a Shame by Shinedown. Naruto walked into the living room and smirked at Gaara. "I'm guessing you want to get some practice in ehh?" Naruto asked nonchalantly. Gaara said nothing turned off the IPod and walked to his bass guitar in the corner of the room and turned on the corresponding amplifier and looked at him.
"So what song is the one that we are going to start off with?" Gaara asked seriously.
"Hmm … how about Teenagers by My Chemical Romance?" Naruto responded
"Nah, what about Twisted Transistor by Korn?" Gaara asked. Naruto nodded in approval and so they started, with Naruto playing the lead Guitar and singing. It didn't sound like much due to their being no drums and no tech support being there. There were also some places that just sounded wrong all together, due to Naruto and Gaara falling out of rhythm; however they nailed all the notes in the way they should. Gaara looked over and nodded his head. "Still needs work, but as soon as we find the rest of our band I's say that we will be awesome." Naruto nodded in agreement. Naruto then went outside to the garage that they had and put on his weights and started working out. Gaara joined him soon after. They didn't stop until after an hour. Naruto looked around and relaxed. Gaara sat next to him and closed his eyes and leaned back against the wall. "I feel like this is the calm before the storm, you know what I mean Naruto?"
Naruto sat there pondering what to think. "So, you have the same feeling. Gaara I have a quick question. There is a girl on our squad, and you and me are alike with the thought that they shouldn't be on the frontlines, however, what we plan on doing is extreme, black opps. Aren't exactly easy you know, I just think that I would probably lose it if I saw that she got blown to shit or worse captured. I feel that we are going to go through the thick of the shit bro." Naruto said seriously. Gaara only could nod his head they both continued sitting in silence enjoying it for as long as they could then went off to bed.
***** (With Sasuta and her family)
"Hey Itachi-nii-san, I have a question?" Sasuta looked at her older brother.
"What is it?" Itachi stopped reading the paper he was reading and looked at his little sister with an appreciative face.
"What is the SS drug?" Sasuta looked at him confused.
Itachi was shocked and tried to hide it. He only heard rumors coming from some superiors of his. It's a perk for being the distributor of goods and mail, for the military. For some reason to him things seemed too relaxed for what was supposed to be a war with their rival country Iwa. Itachi did not know the specifics about the SS drug but knew it was a top secret experiment that was deemed a failure, however apparently two boys made it through the experiments ok and are now joining the elite forces, so he had heard. He also knew that if a civilian caught any news that the SS drug existed they would be put to death. "Sasuta listen to me very closely, you never, and I mean never heard that there was such a thing as the SS drug you hear me?" Itachi said as he looked around nervously
She knew that when her brother was this riled up over something she knew either to drop the subject or press further. She also knew that it was one of those times to let it drop and never bring it up again. "SS drug never heard of it." She said.
Itachi smiled at his little sister and looked at the time. "Mom and Dad probably want to start dinner soon, go on ahead and I will catch up to you in a minute, I just need to finish this this paper." Itachi said as he diverted his attention back to the paper lying on his desk.
Sasuta nodded and walked away now knowing that the guy she was attracted too, albeit slightly, was holding secrets with in him and they were damn big ones at that.
***** (With Ino and her family)
"So are you guys going to tell me why we moved again?" Ino asked impatiently. She had moved from town to town with her family several times in the past two years. Now that she resided in the biggest city in Fire Country. (A/N They are countries in this story deal with it).
"I know that moving from place to place has you mad honey, but we plan on staying here in Konoha for year's honey. You know why we moved the first time was to get away from the border. The second time was because it was just too frustrating at our home, even you hated the place." Inoichi tried to calm his daughter.
"I won't be mad only on one condition." Ino decided to bargain.
Inoichi gulped audibly and shook his head. "What is it that you want sweetie"
Ino smirked, "I happen to like a boy at our school, you should remember him dad, Naruto Uzumaki, that ten year old that help me out when I got lost her a few years ago, so I want you to agree that you will let me date him and you will leave us be." Ino demanded.
Inoichi tilted his head to the left side and stared at the ceiling in deep thought. He was trying to remember the time when there was a little boy that stayed by his daughter's side, and kept her company and comforted her when she got lost in Konoha. Also from what Ino told him, he stood up against an older man that was trying to take Ino away. He had never really been able to thank him properly for basically saving his daughter. When he looked up the name Uzumaki in the phone book that night, there weren't any. He ended up asking about the Uzumakis' when he went in for his business meeting the next day. What he got was a hateful glare, some speech that the full family had been wiped out but the 'demon brat' who deserved to die, but the last one was the person that ruled over all of them. That man silenced all the things except the glare that he was still getting from a woman that looked to be in her mid-twenties with pink hair. The man that silenced everyone spook up, "The Uzumakis' have been killed by a strange accident that happened about a decade ago, only one remains, the poor little boy has a very large burden that nobody will ever be able to understand, and if I hear any hurtful or derogatory toward the boy will be fired on the spot, so I make myself clear to the lot of you fools?" Inoichi was now more intrigued but knew that he was in no position to ask anything he ended up not telling his daughter that he was an orphan.
MM here, well what do you think constructive criticism only please; if you didn't like it, tell me why. If you like it, tell me. Next chapter will be a little bit of a filler/flashback to the time that Naruto saved Ino (fool didn't even know it), also it will be focused more on the conflict arising and what the SS drug entails. Review and relax people. MM says peace out people.
