MEET THE ORANGINEER: Chapter 4

Naruto Uzumaki Conagher was walking down the streets of Konoha, with a calm, happy smile on his face, holding his arm to his chest. Most of the villagers gave their usual glares at him as he walked along, but he didn't notice them today. Why? Over two weeks ago, he had gotten something that he hadn't had since he was born. A family. He had been adopted and he couldn't be happier. Over those two weeks, he had bonded with Engineer, with the both of them now close to inseparable. As he walked, he couldn't help but think of the discussion he had had with his new dad and the Hokage a week ago.

Flashback

"Naruto, Dell, please come in" The Hokage said as the two mentioned walked into his office, taking a seat. He took a smoke out of his pipe, before looking at the two. "I would like to say this was a friendly visit, but there are matters we need to take care of." He looked quickly at Naruto giving a sad look before continuing. "Naruto, this is actually about you, and your new…injury." Whatever expression Naruto had on his face before vanished, as a look of depression replaced it.

"I know jiji…" Naruto sad sadly, holding his arm gently." I'm not gonna be able to take your hat now. Sorry jiji." A tear was starting to form in his eye as he tried not to look at the Hokage. He felt a hand turn his head slightly, wiping off the tear. He looked to see Engineer, a sad smile on his face.

"Don' worry kiddo." He said as he pulled him into a light hug. "We'll figure this out." A small smile appeared on the Hokage's face, unnoticed by the two as he watched them.

'They seem to be getting along well,' he thought as he watched them stop the hug. 'Hopefully they can get past this.' "Well," he said as he looked at the two in front of him. "I do have some bad news. I had multiple shinobi search where he was attacked for any sign of his hand."

"Did they find it jiji?" Naruto asked hopefully. However, whatever hope he had was crushed with the next words.

"I'm sorry to say Naruto, but they didn't. They were ones that like you, and searched everywhere for it, but couldn't find it. The mob most likely took it, or burned it. But even if they didn't, it would probably be irreparable for being out in the wild for so long. I'm sorry Naruto."

Shock took over his body as he listened. "S-so this really means I can't be a ninja?" More tears were starting to fall, realizing his dream was officially shattered.

"Quite possibly Naruto", The Hokage said, now feeling horrible at seeing the light of this young boy crushed. "If there was anything I could do to help I would in a heartbeat. But it looks like-"

"Maybe there is." Both turned to the Engineer, his eyebrows up like he had just gotten an idea.

"Maybe? What do you mean?" the Hokage asked, curious and confused at the statement.

"What I mean is, maybe there is a way to give the kid a hand back. Not his own, but it would be incredibly close." He said as he crossed his legs and put his hand in his lap. "Where I work, there's a special medic that does a lotta crazy surgeries and other stuff that has saved a lotta my friends lives."

Shock was evident on their faces as they listened to him. They could possibly give Naruto a hand?

"This does sound alright," the Hokage said as he regained a minor face. "But how would we find a hand for Naruto?"

"We wouldn't have to find one," Engineer said as he looked right at them. "We'd just have ta make one." A slight smile appeared on his face as he saw their jaws drop considerably.

"WHAT!" they yelled at the same time. "What do you mean make a new one!" Naruto yelled shock still evident in his voice.

"That's what I mean, we make one" he said as he heard the Hokage talk to him.

"But how? It's not like you can make an exact replica of his hand, it's impossible. And there's the fact you can't just make flesh and nerve instantly." Whatever words were to come after that stopped as he saw the Engineer chuckle. He saw him grab the end of his rubber glove, ready to pull it off.

"Who said anything about it bein' made outta muscle?" At the last word, he put the hand out in front of him, completely pulling off the glove.

The only expressions that could be read from their faces were pure shock, awe, and minor horror at what they saw. What they saw under the glove was not skin or muscle. It was completely made of metal. Five metal joints of what looked liked fingers were connected to a metal ball and joint hinge, which was surrounded by multiple yellow and black wire connected to a small gauge. Below that, it was connected to a huge metal band spray-painted blue, which was welded onto an octagonal piece of metal with numerous buttons on it. That piece was then on his right wrist, where his actual hand should have been.

"What the heck!" Naruto yelled as he pointed at the mechanical hand. "What Is that? And where's your hand?" the Hokage could only gasp at what he was seeing.

He slightly chuckled at Naruto and the Hokage's faces before answering them. "Well, this here is a Gunslinger." He said as he flexed the mechanical fingers like they were his real ones. "I made it after I got in an incident where I lost my real hand."

"Y-you made it?" the Hokage asked, still shocked. "But how? This looks incredibly more complex than anything we have in the village." A small smile appeared on the Engineer's face as he answered.

"That is because it is a piece of machinery built by me, and designed by me. As to answer your first question: what am I mister?"

The shock quickly left as the Hokage looked at him with curiosity. "You're an Engineer." A nod was his reply.

"That's right. I'm an Engineer, that means I solve problems. So when a problem like this occurred, I took the time to come up with ingenious design. It also helps that I have over eleven science PhD's."

"Well," the Hokage said, coughing to stop him from having a heart attack at the information. "Whilst this is impressive, what does this have to do with that medic you were speaking of?"

"He is the ones that helped me put in details for it, and he put it on me, also making it so my nerves and muscles were still functional."

"That is quiet an impressive feat." The Hokage said, "So how is it you will get this medic? You were the only one to come into the village."

"I'll contact him from the use of one of my other creations. Then I can get him and the others here so we can look after Naruto and do the operation."

"Wait," both heads turned to Naruto, who had his jaw on the floor. "So does this mean…I can still be a ninja?"

The Engineer smiled as he looked at Naruto. "That's right kid. Looks like that dream a yours ain't dead yet." Naruto seemed quiet for a moment, slightly worrying the two older men. This worry disappeared as a loud yell filled the room. "YES! I CAN STILL BE THE BEST NINJA EVER!" Naruto screamed, a huge foxy grin on his face as he cheered. Both older men chuckled as the Engineer quickly put his glove back on and grabbed Naruto in the middle of the air.

"Well now, since this is lookin' good, how 'bout you and me grab a bite, then I'll get that call in." The Engineer said as he put Naruto on his shoulders.

"That sounds great Engie-tou-san! Now to Ichiraku!" Naruto cheered as the Engineer chuckled at his antics, carrying him towards the door.

As they left the door, the Hokage heard Naruto yell, "Bye jiji!" A small chuckle escaped his lips has he sat back in his chair, a smile on his face. 'Well, it looks like things are going to be good for Naruto after all Minato.' As he went to close his eyes, they snapped open, realizing something near the end of the conversation.

"Wait…OTHERS?"

Flashback end

Naruto lightly laughed remembering that, jiji's yell being heard around the village. He was also shocked as well, because he remembered him say others in the conversation too. After they had gone for ramen, his dad had explained to him that his work involved him being on some sort of 'team' where 8 other people worked. They were like family to him, and they were all good friends despite the minor fights they had every single day. He smiled a little, realizing that since he was family with tou-san, and he was family to his friends, he might get even more family! A sudden feeling of despair caught him as he continued to walk, his eyes glazed.

'There his family, but what if they don't like me? Will that mean that tou-san won't like me if they don't?' was the thought that was going through his head, a sense of unintentional fear filling him. His eyes were still glazed over in thought so he didn't see where he was going. So he definitely didn't see himself walk into something until he realized he was hitting the ground.

"OOF!" the thing said as Naruto hit the ground. Wait…said? Naruto looked up, and shock appeared at what he saw…or in this case who he saw. It was a giant man, which was what he noticed first. And when he meant, giant, he didn't mean just in height. The guy clearly had muscle, but his gut was also big. He wore slightly tan jeans with brown boots, with a black pouch on his belt. He wore a bulky black vest with a blue shirt and white undershirt. On the left sleeve was a yellow circle with a blue fist in it. Surrounding his chest was a belt holding weird looking pointy sticks made of metal. He also wore black fingerless gloves, and was bald with a huge 'beard' of stubble going from his chin to the back of his head. As he finished noticing the details, he saw the man look down at him. Naruto gave an unintentional gulp as he saw look down at him.

"Are you okay little boy?" The man is a thick accent as he knelt down to Naruto. He put forward one of his huge fingers for Naruto to grab. Naruto wrapped his hand around it, it perfectly holding it. The man then lifted him off the ground. "Watch where you go, or you be in trouble with people."

Naruto, for the most part, wasn't paying attention. His main attention was on what the man was wearing. 'Blue shirt, weird clothing, a weird circle thing on his shirt…is this one of dad's friends?" His attention was brought back to the man, who had snapped his huge fingers in front of his face.

"Little boy? Are you alright?" the man asked, slight concern in his voice. Naruto, who now noticed it, suddenly smiled, to show he was alright.

"I'm alright! Don't worry!" Naruto said with a big smile, holding his arm. The man gave a smile, showing white teeth.

"That is good little one." He said as he stood up. "Now I must go. I need to find my comrades."

Naruto, who was listening, suddenly got an idea. It may not work, but he was going to try. He quirked his head to the side, and asked innocently, "Are you looking for Engie-tou-san?"

The man stopped, going stiff. He turned his head around, shock evident on his face. "You know Engineer?" Naruto only smiled on the outside, while in his mind, a little chibi Naruto had a peace sign while cheering, 'Yes! Point for me!'

"Yeah! He's my dad! Do you want me to get him for you?" His answer was a giant bear hug from the man, who was now laughing like a maniac.

"Ohohohohoho! Little boy is credit to team!" He continued to laugh while hugging Naruto, a huge smile on his face. He quickly put down Naruto, his smile still evident. "Please go get Engineer, little boy! Tell Engineer that Heavy ask for him. We meet him by giant doors in village!" He gave him one last quick hug, before jumping up and running in the opposite direction. "HERE I COME!" he yelled as he ran to the gates, his giant belly hopping along with him. Naruto stifled a laugh at this, before turning around and heading to his apartment complex. 'Can't wait to see tou-san's face when I tell him!' Naruto thought as he ran home.

Naruto soon arrived at his apartment complex, flying up the stairs until he reached his apartment. The apartment, which had been completely authorized and checked by the Hokage, had over 4 bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a hall cupboard and 2 bathrooms. He quickly ran in, heading to the living room. "Engi-tou-san! I'm home!"

"I'm in here kiddo!" the Engineer's voice rang out from his bedroom. Naruto quickly ran to it, opening the door and looking in. To say the least, his room was a huge mess. A pile of clothes were set in a corner of the room on the floor, and that was probably the only organized thing he saw. Numerous gears and wire covered the floor, accompanied by a small oil stain or two. The closet was filled to the brim with numerous blueprints, spare parts, and robotics. The bed had what appeared to be a black robotic head of some kind, painted red with a little light to the left of it on it. In another corner of the room was a desk, littered with small gears, a wrench and a big blue print, with the device from the forest laying against it. The Engineer was sitting at the desk, looking over the blueprint with a pencil in his hand and an empty beer bottle on the corner of the desk. Hearing footsteps, he turned his head to see Naruto in the doorway. A smile appeared on his face as he put the pencil down and turned his chair to Naruto.

"Hey kiddo!" He said as he stood up and walked over to Naruto. He knelt down and ruffled his gloved hand through Naruto's hair, making Naruto give a small smile. He quickly picked him up, carrying to the kitchen and putting him on the counter as he went to the fridge. He pulled out a juice box and a new beer, giving the box to Naruto as he opened his beer. "So how's your hand? It still feelin' okay?"

"Yep! It feels great!" Naruto said as he took a sip out of his juice box. "Oh yeah! You'll never guess what!" Engineer smiled as he went to take a drink of his beer.

"What is it?" he said, putting the bottle to his lips and taking a swig.

"I met this really big guy when I was heading to Ichiraku's! He said that his name was Heavy!" this brought a reaction to Engineer, as the beer he had in his mouth spat out, spraying across the room. His eyes were wide as he looked at Naruto slack-jawed.

"No way. Them fellas are here already?" he said as he put down his beer.

"Yeah! Mr. Heavy said that he and the others would be waiting for you at the village gates!" Naruto said as he finished up his juice box, throwing it across the room, it landing in the trash.

"Well I'll be darned. They weren't suppose to be here for another week. Nice toss by the way," Engineer said, walking over and putting his bottle in the trash. "Alrighty then, you know what this means partner?"

"What?" Naruto asked. He suddenly yelped in surpise as he was put on his dad's shoulders.

"We're gonna run there as fast as we can!" Engineer said as he quickly rushed out the door, laughing as Naruto clung to his head, swirls replacing his eyes. After a few minutes, the Engineer was closing in on the village gates, seeing seven figures haning around by the gate. He smiled, recognizing them from his distance. "HEY FELLAS!" he yelled as he screeched to a stop, making dirt fly around him as the figures turned to him. He quickly stopped, a few yards from them as the dust cloud settled. Their eyes went wide at seeing him, covered in dirt and oil with a kid hanging from his shoulders no less. HE smiled widely at them, glad to see them all. "So how y'all been?"

Naruto, who had slowly been regaining consciousness, looked over the Engineer's head to see the seven people ahead of him. The first one he recognized immediately was the Heavy, who had a sandwich in hand, chewing as he watched them. He didn't recognize the others, so he looked them over.

The first was a strangely dressed man, next to the Heavy. He wore all blue (except for his boots and pants), a helmet covering his eyes and the shade from it showing a five o'clock shadow. He had what appeared to be military clothing on, with a belt around his chest that had two orange rock things on them. He also wore boots and pants like the Heavy's, another belt with a pouch around his waist.

The next one next to him was slightly the same height as the helmet head. He had a leather fedora on his head, covering his gold-lensed eye glasses. He had a light brown vest with pockets covering a blue collared shirt with a white undershirt. On his left arm were a fingerless glove and a watch. He also had a belt with a pouch, holding up comfortable looking brown pants. Below that were thin pointed brown boots.

Beside him was a strange one at that. He was a dark skinned man with a black beanie and an eye patch, with a thin beard on his face. That was not the weird part. He wore an incredibly thick black vest, with six weird looking tubes on them. Underneath that was what appeared to be a blue rubber, baggy jumpsuit of some sort. He wore the same boots as the first two, and a pouch was pinned on his pants.

A few feet away from him was a kid who was around eighteen. He wore a black baseball cap with a headset covering it. He had no facial hair, and was wearing some weird necklace around his neck with two silver tags. He wore a simple blue plain t-shirt, with some sort of thin bag on his bag, the strap going over his torso. His pants were baggy and brown, going to his knees before being covered by long white socks. On his feet were black and white cleats.

The last two were surprising. Next to the kid was an old looking man, with small strands of grey hair going through his hair. He had a small pair of glasses on his face, showing a sense of knowledge. He wore what appeared to be a white button up shirt with a blue tie, but it was barely acknowledgeable since it was covered in a white lab coat. His hands were covered by entirely blue rubber gloves. A black belt surrounded the lab coat and pants, which were similar to the Heavy's. His boots however were like the fedora man's, thin and pointed, but these ones were black.

The last person he couldn't even recognize. His or her face couldn't be seen, since it was covered by a black rubber mask with a breathing tube to the left of it. Two plastic eye holes were on it, with a respirator in the front. The rest of his outfit was a giant rubber blue suit, with near the legs starting to shade black from something. Black boots like the other were on his feet, the ankle parts completely black. The most noticeable thing on him was the weird canister on his back, being held by straps on his torso, which also had another strap with three strange containers on it.

Naruto was wide eyed at them all, his jaw slightly slacking. 'This is my new family?' he thought as the helmet head stepped forward with his fists clenched. Naruto flinched back in slight shock and fear as the man yelled in his dad's face. "ENGIE! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN MAGGOT? YOUR LUCKY MEDIC GOT THE CALL DAYS AGO FROM YOU, OR ELSE I'D HAVE TO CONSIDER YOU AWOL!" the man barked in a gruff voice, a vein visible slightly from under his helmet.

"Now hold on now Soldier…" his dad tried to say, but was cut off as the man, now called Soldier, yelled at him again.

"YOU SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU MAGGOT! TALKING BACK TO A SUPERIOR OFFICER CAN AND WILL DEFINITELY RESORT TO A REPRIMAND!"

"Soldier…" Engineer tried to say, his hands out in a halting gesture, but they were ignored as the man interrupted him again.

"WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY ENGIE! YOU LISTEN WHILE I'M TALKING TO YOU AND DON'T TALK BACK!" the Soldier roared at him, one of his fingers now roughly poking him in the chest.

Naruto right now was beyond pissed. At first he was afraid of this guy, but now he was yelling at his dad when he was trying to defend himself. No one yelled at his tou-san like that.

"AND ANOTHER THING!..." but before the Soldier could continue, a loud young voice interrupted him.

"HEY! SHUT UP YOU JERK! YOU CAN'T TALK TO MY TOU-SAN LIKE THAT!" this got everyone's attention. The Soldier turned to the voice, now noticing Naruto on the Engineer's shoulders, and angry look in his eyes. He was slightly shocked. Someone, a little kid no less, had talked back to him. The others behind him were looking majorly worried. That kid was going to be in trouble for what he just did. The soldier who was slightly surprised, quickly narrowed is eyes at the kid.

"And who exactly are you kid?" he asked, in a calmer voice, shocking the entire BLU group. The Soldier was actually talking in a calm collected manner. That absolutely never happened.

"Well Soldier," the Engineer said as he came out of his shocked state, "I was trying to explain, but you wouldn't let me. This is the kid I was talking about over the phone." As he finished the sentence, everyone went slack-jawed. Naruto was confused as to why they were so shocked.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys?" he asked innocently, tilting his head in confusion.

"Y-you're that kid?" the teenager asked, shock in his voice.

"Yes?" Naruto answered hesitantly, slightly scared at why they were like this. 'They said that kid…oh no…does this mean they think I'm the fox?' He then expected insults, pain, anything like the usual stuff, but what he didn't expect was the following.

"Holy crap! It's nice to finally meet ya kid!" the teenager said running forward, happiness in his voice.

"Holy Dooly!" the fedora man said, walking forward with awe on his face.

"Mmph mmph mmph ph!" the jumpsuit man muffled through his mask, running forward eagerly. Similar reactions were like this. The Heavy and eye patch man ran forward, each laughing. The lab coat guy simply walked forward, his eyebrows raised incredibly. The soldier had what appeared to be a shocked look on his face. Naruto was shocked. He wasn't usually greeted this well when he met people except for the Hokage, his tou-san and a few others. Yet he had never met these people and they were thrilled to see him.

"Wait! How do you guys know me?" Naruto said, still shocked and confused.

"When ze Engineer called me, I heard him talk greatly about you little vone," the lab coat man said as he looked over Naruto.

"Really?" Naruto asked, surprised at the statement.

"Oh eih he did laddy!" the eye patch man said as he took a swig from a bottle he pulled out of nowhere. The others agreed as they told him of what the Engineer said over his message. Of how great of a kid he was. How he was a kind person who didn't give up easily. Naruto started to smile, happy to hear all the compliments his tou-san had said to them about him.

He was about to thank them, but he suddenly remembered a important detail. He didn't know their names. "Umm... sorry to interupt, but I don't know your names," Naruto said as he looked at them sheepishly. They seemed to pause for a second, before they all laughed.

"Thats alright kiddo," the Engineer said as he looked at his friends. "Naruto, these are my teammates: Heavy, Soldier, Sniper, Demoman, Scout, Medic and Pyro."

"It's nice to meet you all," Naruto said as he gave a small smile to them. They all replied with various greetings a cheers depending on the person. He was about to speak, but the Enginner suddenly spoke.

"Wait a secon' here, where 's the Spy?" asked the Engineer, noticing the missing member of the group.

"Who knows?" the Scout said as he looked around. "That back stabbin' sissy's probably sneakin' around like usual."

"Who's the Spy?" Naruto asked, confused and curious. The Engineer looked up at him with a smile before replying, "Well kiddo, the Spy is the last member of our little ol' group here. He's a person of the shadow's and likes to play tricks on people's minds. He's kinda like one a your ninjas, without all the fancy stuff."

"Oh!" Naruto said, seeming to understand the answer. As the others were about to talk, the Medic walked forward, a serious look on his face. Everyone seemed to eye him, curious at what he was doing. They were about to ask when, "May I see your hand little one?" the Medic asked, putting his hand out.

Naruto, who was confused, put his left arm out from behind the Engineer's head. "Ze other one." the Medic said in a serious, yet calm voice, pushing up his glasses with his other hand. Naruto, who now seemed hesitant, pulled back his left arm, and put out his right slowly. The affect of this was immediate.

"What the hell!"

"Bloody hell!"

"What in the-"

"Mmmph!"

"How could this happen?"

"Sweet mother of God!"

The rest of the BLU's who had seen this were shocked. They had seen and had horrible injuries before, but this was a different point of view. Especially when this kind of injury was on a little 5 year old kid.

The Medic looked at Naruto's wrapped stump with a doctoral look on his face. He held it in his hand, and observed it as he talked to the Engineer without looking up. "It vould appear you were right in your assessment of dis injury Herr Engineer. It is holding vell for now, but ze surgery should be done in a short time frame from now.", the Medic said as he gently gave Naruto his hand back. "Be very carefil vith it young one. Ve do not want it hurt anymore zen it is now."

Naruto gently held his arm, before nodding and saying, "Okay."

"Hold on one minut!" the Heavy said as everyone looked at him. "How could this happen! To little boy even! This is very bad!"

"Yeah, fatty's right!" the Scout said as he looked at the Engineer. "What the hell happened to this kid Engie? And why's he missin' a hand?" Similar comments like this rose up, continually pelting the Medic and Engineer.

"Now just one stinkin' minute here partners!" The Engineer said, stopping the protests momentarily. "I can explain how this happened, but first we gotta go somewhere else. Can't exactly explain it with people around."

There seemed to be a pause with them, thinking it over, before the Soldier nodded. "Very well Engie! Take us somewhere to explain his condition." The Engineer was about to reply, but his face quickly stiffened. He quickly put Naruto to the ground, and turned around, pistol drawn as he heard a thump behind him. The others were slightly shocked at what had appeared. It was a man, and he was dressed more strangely than them together. He had a strange mask on his face, resembling that of a dog. Behind the mask stood silver gravity defying hair that stood straight up. A blue face mask could be seen under the animal mask. The man was dressed in a gray protective vest, his arms completely visible with a strange tattoo on one arm. The rest of his outfit also involved gray gloves with protectors on them, and gray pants with tape wrapped around one. One his feet he wore gray wrapped shinobi sandals, and on his back he carried some kind of sword. The man looked up at them, making them all stiffen except for Naruto and Engineer, who had relaxed. They had all gotten ready to draw weapons, but Engineer raised a hand.

"Its alright boys. He's a friendly." They stopped for a minute, before relaxing and putting their hands down. He looked at the man before saying, "Hello Dog. How have you been?"

The BLU's seemed confused by this until the man replied ," I'm doing fine Engineer-san. How are you Naruto?"

"Naruto gave a smile as he said, "I'm doing great Dog-san!"

The BLU's were utterly speechless. The two knew this masked man? Their thoughts were stopped when Engineer said, "So I'm guessin' this aint no formal call." Dog nodded before replying,"Thats right Enginer-san. The council has requested the presence of you and Naruto."

The Engineer sighed before saying, "Very well then Dog. Tell them we'll be there soon." Dog nodded at them before disappearing. The Engineer turned around to face the BLUs, and a small smile appeared when he saw their shocked faces. "Well come on now," he said as he picked up Naruto again," we gotta go. Follow me."

The BLUs could only slightly nod, before following their friend and his adopted son completely speechless.

Well hoped you guys liked this chapter, took forever to write. Also, sorry for any crappy spelling.
