MEET THE ORANGINEER: Chapter 5

The group of BLUs followed the Engineer, who was leading them through the gargantuan village. As they walked along, they started noticing something from the people around them. Most were giving glares in their direction. As they saw the glares, they looked in the directions of them, and were shocked to find they were aimed at little Naruto on the Engineer's shoulders. The Soldier specifically noticed Naruto's glazed and sad look on his face as he tried to look away from them. Noticing two people giving angry glares and whispering at Naruto made him snap. He quickly walked away from the group, despite protest, and marched over to the two whispering. They stopped as they noticed the snarl on the Soldier's face.

"What exactly are you looking at cupcakes?" the Soldier ordered, making everyone stop and look at him, especially Naruto, whose eyes were wide. One of the two before him, seemed hesitant, before regaining his previous face and said, "Not your concern. Nothing but a little demon." The Soldier seemed confused by this, until he turned and saw Naruto's head was down, a sad look on his face. The Soldier, who was now pissed at this, grabbed the two in front of him with little effort, and threw them into the wall behind them. They hit it hard, looking up confused and slightly scared as the Soldier marched up. The attention of the whole market was now on him. He picked both up by their shirts, frightened looked on their faces as he barked at them.

"NOW LOOK HERE MAGGOTS! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN, BUT YOU DO NOT GET OFF WITH CALLING A LITTLE BOY A DEMON! THE NEXT TIME I HEAR YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE SAY THIS WILL HAVE MY EQUALIZER UP THEIR ASSES SO HARD, THAT THE PICK WILL BE POKING OUT OF YOUR THROAT! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR DIRT BAGS!" he screamed in their faces. They quickly nodded while shaking, before being dropped on the ground. They stood up, and ran away in the other direction, the smell of urine in the air.

The Soldier turned around, looking at the surrounding civilians. They quickly turned and moved away, scared looks on their faces. He walked back over to the group, before saying, "That will teach them. Lead on Engie!" The Engineer shrugged before continuing on with Naruto on his shoulders speechless. The group followed silently, not knowing what to say. As they walked on, Naruto turned his head. "Hey, Mr. Soldier?" The Soldier, looked up, a neutral look on his face.

"Yeah kid?" he asked, wondering what the question was. Naruto hesitated, before speaking his words.

"Thank you…for defending me. Not a lot of people do that for me." This shocked some, mainly Scout, Heavy, Pyro and Demo. Engineer and Medic seemed unaffected by it, but the Soldier's neutral face slightly changed, almost in… surprise? It quickly changed back to neutral before he replied.

"No problem at all kid." He said, giving a small salute towards him. Naruto pause for a second, before giving a small smile and turning his head back around. After he did, the BLUs behind Engineer looked at each other before giving a look that asked one question,'What the hell is going on here?'

Minutes later, they had arrived at the council room. In it were multiple seats which held numerous people. On the right was the Civilian side. These people consisted of numerous merchants and nobles form different places in Konoha, and they hated Naruto with a passion. There had been multiple calls of death from them over the years.

On the left was the Shinobi side. These people were the current clan heads of all the major shinobi clans in Konoha. Unlike the civilians, most of the clan heads had no problem with Naruto, except for the Uchiha clan, who had made an attempt in a meeting to make him a weapon.

In the middle sat the Elders of the village. These three had been old teammates of the Third, and only two of the hated Naruto. The one who liked Naruto was Homura Mitokado, who would usually give a great hello to Naruto when he saw him or spend some time with him in the Hokage building. The other two were Koharu Utatane and a war hawk called Danzo. Koharu was Homura's partner, and whilst she wasn't like the civilians, she disliked Naruto. Danzo had been the Thirds own teammate, and usually craved some form of power. He had previously been the head of a division of emotionless shinobi called Root, but it was disbanded years ago. In front of them all was the Hokage, giving a small smile as he saw them come in. Slight curiosity got him as he eyed the seven he weren't familiar with. 'These must be the others', he thought as he watched them walk in.

"Hello Engineer. Naruto." He said to each with seriousness in his voice as the smile disappeared.

"Hello mister," the Engineer said as he put Naruto down. "How can we be helpin' you today?"

"Hey! Show respect to the Hokage you ingrate!" a man from the civilian council yelled as he pointed his finger at the Engineer. The Engineer turned to him, making him flinch back slightly as he saw the neutral face on the Engineer's face.

"I'll say what I want dear sir," he said as he motioned for Heavy to come forward. "And I be sayin' that if you interrupt me again, I'll have my friend here beat ya into the ground." The Heavy put on an evil grin as he cracked his huge knuckles for them to see. Most of the civilian council was shaking now, scared of the big man before them.

The man before, trying to be brave, boldly said, "I-is that a threat?" He expected them to back down, since they couldn't be touch since they were on the council. But that bravery died as he saw the maniacal grins on the BLU faces appear.

"Why yes. Yes it is." The Engineer said with an evil smile, making the civilian quickly fall back in his seat out of fright. The clan head were impressed by this, even the Uchiha head. Most people would have backed down or something similar because they controlled the banks and markets in the village. But these guys were willingly and happily scaring the crap out of them. This meant they were either stupid, brave or both.

"Anyway," Engineer said as he looked back at the Hokage. "Why've ya called us here?" The Hokage got a frown on his face, as did Homura and most of the clan heads. He cleared his voice with a cough, before speaking.

"Well," he said his voice a mix of sad and serious, "This council has been called today to the attention of your adoption of one Naruto Uzumaki, and they wish for his immediate extraction from your side." This brought immediate chaos.

The Engineer, Soldier, Medic, Sniper and Heavy had extremely pissed off expressions on their faces. Demoman and Scout were shouting profanities as they were shocked and angry at this. The Pyro was gripping his hands tightly, a tick mark somehow on his head through the jumpsuit. The Uchiha head, two elders, and civilian side simply smiled smugly at the news. Naruto at this time, was hugging the Engineer's leg tightly, afraid for his life.

"WHAT IN SAM HELL ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT!" the Engineer yelled, fury obvious in his voice.

"Well it has come to the attention of the council, brought up by the civilian council, that your adoption is somehow not legal, and so they wish to relieve him of you and put him in the orphanage." , the Hokage said with sadness and disappointment in his voice as he eyed the civilian council talking amongst themselves happily. 'I'm sorry Minato. I'm sorry your people sink so low?' he thought as his attention was brought back by the BLU's voices.

"Well hell no! You ain't takin' him!' Engineer said as he brought Naruto even closer to him.

"Engie is right! You won't take the kid!" Soldier said as he stepped in front of Engineer with his arms crossed.

"Same here! You nutbags ain't touchin' him!" Scout said as he stepped in front of Naruto.

"You no touch little boy!" Heavy said as he crunched his knuckles and stood behind Naruto and Engineer.

"Ze boy is ours to look after, no you dumkophs!" Medic yelled as he got beside Heavy.

"The laddie is staying with us you pea-brained ninnies!" Demoman slurred as he wobbled over to Naruto.

"You blokes ain't laying a hand on him!" Sniper said as he stood next to Naruto.

"Mmph!" Pyro muffled as he ran over to Soldier, hands gripped tightly.

The Hokage and most of the clan heads were now smiling as they saw this. Unlike the villagers, these people were defending Naruto without a second thought. The two elders and the Uchiha were frowning deeply, while the civilians were turning red in their seats from anger.

One woman with pink hair, from the civilian side, stood up with an angry look on her face as she pointed at Naruto, making him flinch. "Give us the demon brat now! He doesn't even deserve a family! His evil taint will corrupt them!" The Hokage gained an angry look on his face, and was about to shout at the Haruno, when something stopped him and the rest of the council. It was killing intent beyond anything they had felt, seemingly more powerful than the Kyuubi's KI itself. Some civilians had already gone unconscious from the blast of it, foam pouring out of their mouths. The clan heads were struggling to breath, barely keeping from going unconscious. Barely able to keep themselves up, the council looked at the source of it, and was shocked. It was the BLUs.

The BLU's faces were now twisted in rage; their features now making them look like warriors of hell. Each had pulled a weapon out of nowhere, their fingers now gripped tightly around them. The Engineer had pulled out his weapon from the forest, pumping the grip as a shell popped out. The Scout had something similar to the Engineer's weapon, but it had a strange lever on the back with multiple holes in it. The Sniper had pulled out a Kukri, the blade shining from the light in the room. The Demoman had a bloodied sword in hand, its edges looking rough, but insanely sharp. The Soldier had a large black box on his shoulder with a hole in the front, a small trigger under it. The Medic had a strange bloodied bone saw in his hand, which looked rusty and had a vial on it with blue liquid in it. The Pyro had found himself a large axe, bloodied with barbed wire wrapped around it. The Heavy had pulled out a large machine, with black metal tubes encircled around more metal, which also carried a large white gas tank underneath it. The looks on their faces showed extreme rage and fury that would scare the Shinigami to death. And every last bit of it was directed at the Haruno woman.

The woman, who had been cocky before, was now shivering in fright, not able to stand up as she was now shaking on the floor. She looked up to see the Engineer was walking up to her slowly, his weapon in hand. She tried to crawl backwards, but failed from the shaking and she fell back, now completely lying on the ground. He finally reached her, lowering his arm and gripping his hand around her shirt. He pulled her up, her face just inches from his. His goggles eyes met her, sending a vision through her mind: her death. She shook more now, not able to speak, and barely able to breathe. He opened his mouth, and spoke words that sent shivers down her already quaking spine.

"Who...the hell… do you think…you are?" he spoke, his words entirely gruff and harsh now, a change from his accented voice. "You say…that a kid…a kid who has been alone and beaten for all of his life…who has never known love…who has never been shown one act of kindness…who has never had a friend in the world…doesn't deserve a family? You say that he is a demon. Well I say you're dead wrong. You are incredibly wrong. You are the real demon to try and pull something like this. So I ask again…WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!" He screamed in her face; spit showering her face as he spoke. As he had spoken, his words had gotten louder and harsher, each word sending a pang of emotion into everyone there. The Haruno woman couldn't be shaking anymore, her face now a look of pure horror as the Engineer screamed at her. Sweat poured down her trembling face, saliva now mixed into it.

The clan heads, who were barely awake, almost pitied the woman. Almost. One actually thought, 'this can't get any worse.' Oh how wrong he was.

"T-that's her…" a tiny voice trembled out from the BLUs. Everyone turned to the voice, seeing Naruto trembling in fear. Not from the KI, but from looking at the Haruno councilwoman. "T-that's her…she's the one who...who…" he cut it off, tears streaming down his face as he looked at the stump of his hand.

The KI in the room increased tenfold, knocking all except the woman, the BLUs, Hokage, Homura, and Danzo unconscious. The Engineer threw the woman forward, her body hitting the floor hard. She barely able to look up, and could only gulp (barely) at all the BLU's preparing their weapons. As they were about to attack, the Hokage interrupted them. "Wait one moment." he coughed out, the KI hurting his lungs. The BLU's looked at him, the KI dropping slightly. It was enough for the Hokage and Elder's to breathe again, and slowly awaken the clan heads.

"Wait? Why should we? That demon of a woman is the one who cut off my boy's hand!" The Engineer said as he tightened his grip on his weapon even more. The Hokage swallowed the lump in his throat before continuing.

"I mean wait as in don't kill her yet. She will be dealt with immediately, but I would appreciate it if you didn't splatter her on the floor." This caused her to feint immediately, the KI and news too much for her. The BLUs halted for a moment, before they ended the killing intent completely. The clan heads and Elders started coughing violently, finally getting air back into their lungs. They breathed for a moment, before they looked up again.

"Well, then what are we going to do with her?" Chouza Akimichi, head of the Akimichi clan asked.

"No matter what, she needs to die! We have proof that she injured Naruto!" Tsume Inuzaka, head of the Inuzaka clan stated.

"I agree. It would be the most appropriate approach. With the proof of assault on a child and attempted murder, the right choice would be immediate death." Shibi Aburame, head of the Aburame clan said. (see where the title thing is going?)

"Very well. All in favor of execution?" Hiashi Hyuuga asked. He and the other clan head raised their hands. No one seemed to notice the Uchiha's rise hesitantly.

"Then it is done. Wake her up so we can get on with this. Troublesome…" Shikaku Nara said.

BANG!

All of the shinobi jumped when they heard the noise. They saw the Engineer with his weapon in the air. He pulled the grip down again, another shell popping out of the side. The affect was immediate, as when it went off, the Haruno on the ground and most of the civilian council woke up. She looked around quickly, before setting her eyes on the Hokage.

"Lord Hokage!" she said in vain. "Please, help me from these…" but she was interrupted before she could finish.

"Aho Haruno," the Hokage said loudly as he stopped her with a glare. "For assault on a child, citizen of the village, and attempted murder, you have been sentenced to immediate death. There will be no trial, and your executioner will be…Engineer." Her eyes went wide as she looked at the Engineer, who was now walking toward her. He had put the big weapon away, but it was replaced by a small blue version of it. It had a trigger as well, which meant it still could hurt.

"Wait! Please don't kill me!" she said as she tried to back up form him, but was restrained by two ANBU. She squirmed in fright as he got closer to her, pointing his weapon at her. "Please! Listen to me! I was paid to do it! I didn't want to!" He stopped for a moment, giving her a moment of relief, but that moment disappeared when he only got closer. "You want me to listen to you? Did you listen to Naruto when he was crying for mercy? Did you!" he said as he pointed at her once more. "Say I do listen to you…who paid you?"

She was shocked, not expecting this to happen. She was about to hesitate, but the Engineer got closer with it. "Who?" he said, getting closer. She started to panic, and then finally caved.

"Alright…." She said, looking up at him. "I was paid by…"

THWACK!

Everyone was shocked as a trail of blood exited her mouth. She hunched forward, then fell out of the grasp of the ANBU, dead with a kunai to the back. Everyone looked up at the Elder's to see Danzo with his hand out in a throwing position, a crazed look in his eye. Before anyone could stop him, he disappeared out of his chair in a flash.

"HEEl-mmph!" a young voice yelled. They turned their eyes and were shocked to see Danzo on the other side of the room with Naruto in front of him, kunai at his neck.

"Nobody moves!" he said as they went for their weapons. "Or the brat dies."

"Kill the demon Danzo!" some civilians yelled, but were silenced quickly with a shout from the Heavy. He looked at Danzo with a look of hatred in his eyes, the flames somehow visible.

"You! You are dead!" the Heavy said, making a sweeping motion at his neck with his thumb.

"Maybe so, but he'll be dead first if you get any closer." Danzo said, making a pressing motion to Naruto's neck with his kunai. There was silence before Danzo spoke again. "Now, I will leave, and you'll never see this brat again. I will train him to be the perfect weapon to kill you all, and none of you can stop me." Danzo said in a calm, yet evil voice, getting closer to the door. The BLUs and Hokage were about to speak, but they were interrupted with a weird accented voice coming from nowhere in the room.

"I do believe that's incorrect Monsieur." The voice said, floating in the air and responding to Danzo. Before Danzo could reply however, he suddenly screamed, droplets of blood flying out of his mouth. He let go of Naruto, before dropping to the ground dead, with a butterfly knife in his back. Naruto quickly ran over to the Engineer, hugging tightly with tears still on his face.

"I hope I'm not late for zis little meeting." The voice spoke again, as a man came out of the shadows from behind Danzo. He was a fairly tall man, about little taller than Scout. He wore a blue ski mask, covering his face except for his eyes and mouth, which held a lit cigarette. The rest of his attire consisted of a blue pinstriped suit, with a white button shirt underneath with a blue tie. He wore black gloves on his hands, and black dance shoes on his feet. He stepped over the body, picking up the butterfly knife and playing with it in his hand before closing it. He stuck it in his jacket, and walked forward to the group.

"Yo you back-stabbin Spy!", the Scout said, waving his arms in confusion. "Can't you see we had a problem here!" The spy narrowed his eyes before continuing.

"I was here ze entire time you nitwit. I was simply observing until the child was taken. Zen I stepped in to assist." The Spy said, as he felt a tug on his pants. He looked down to see Naruto tugging on his pants, tears still evident, but no longer running.

"T-thank you. F-for saving my life", he said, trying to give a small smile. The Spy who looked at him for a minute smiled before kneeling down, wiping off the stray tears. "No problem on my part little one. You are lucky to have ones like us around you.", the Spy said as he looked up at the council and Elders.

"Now, with what has just occurred in this meeting, and ze…unfortunate deaths zat had to occur, it would seem the young one is not safe in zis village…for ze time being."

"The time being?" Inoichi Yamanaka asked with curiosity. "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean," the Spy said as he looked at them, "Zat since the little one is technically in our care, we can take him with us to train. Zen, he can return to take what you call your 'Genin Exams'." He threw his cigarette away, reaching for another in his case inside his jacket.

The civilian council seemed about to protest, but were stopped with angry maniacal looks from the Medic and Heavy. They quickly backed down, scarred out of their wits. The Hokage and clan heads seemed to think about this for a second, looks of contemplation on their faces.

"It seems logically correct," Asuma Sarutobi said. "The kid gets attacked almost every day, and with what's happened here, the civilians will definitely be pissed. Taking him to train will be a smart move." The clan heads nodded at this, agreeing, some rather reluctantly (Uchiha).

"Very well… the child may be taken outside the village with his 'guardians' for a training period of seven years, where he shall return for the Genin Exams. All those that are in favor?" Fugaku Uchiha said, his voice laced with an unknown emotion. He, the clan heads, the Hokage, and Koharu raised their hands. "All opposed?" Homura, and the civilians raised their hands. The vote was 10 (go) to 5 (stay), the go vote being lucky since Danzo and the Haruno were dead, and 3 were still unconscious.

"It is decided," the Hokage said with a happy smile as he looked over Naruto and the BLUs, "On the vote of the Hokage and council, you Naruto Uzumaki Conagher, have full permission to leave Konohagakure for a training period of seven years with your guardians. You may return seven years from now to attend the Genin Exams. So you can also go over shinobi training in your leave, one of my ANBU will go with you to teach you. Do you accept these conditions?"

Naruto, being slightly shocked from this, was barely able to give out an answer, "Yes jij…uh…yes Lord Hokage." Naruto said, slightly blushing from his slip up. The Hokage and clan heads simply chuckled at this, and the Hokage continued.

"Now, so you have time to acquaint yourself with your guardians and collect your things, you have one week until you have to leave. Understood?" The Hokage asked.

"Yes j…Lord Hokage," Naruto said with a small bow not used to calling the Hokage that. As he and the BLUs were ready to leave, they were stopped by the Hokage.

"Engineer," he said making the Engineer look at him.

"Yes sir?" the Engineer said, slightly confused.

"…keep him safe…" was all the Hokage said, before looking him in the eye. The Engineer slightly raised his eyebrows, before giving a wide smile.

"Don' worry mister. I guarantee he'll come back alright." He said before taking Naruto's hand, and with the rest of the BLUs, walked out the door. As it shut behind them, a small amount of killing intent was pointed at the civilian side, courtesy of the clan heads, Koharu and the Hokage. They shrunk in fear as they saw the look they were getting from the Hokage.

"I've sat idly by as the years have gone, letting you and Danzo get power in this council and over the village. No more. You have taken it too far this time. There are going to be incredible changes around here and there will be no going around them, or you will face an excruciating death without trial at the hands of Ibiki and the IT division. Do I make myself clear?" the Hokage stated, a serious and deadly voice in his tone as he stared the councilmen and women down. They could only nod as all bravery they previously had was gone. There was no longer a weak old man before them. Now there was only The Professor, The God of Shinobi, the Third Hokage. And they were in for it big time.

A week later, Naruto sat happily as he was being carried by his dad to the gates. Over the last week, a lot of things had happened. First off, he and his new family had gotten a call from the Hokage to meet him in his office. When there, the Hokage apologized for the meeting, and said it would never occur again, with an evil smile on his face. He had also explained to the rest of the BLUs why Naruto had been called a demon and got the glares from people with the permission of Naruto and Engineer. He had explained the Kyuubi attack and how it was sealed into Naruto. Naruto had expected them to start hating on him like the rest, but was extremely happy and shocked to find out they didn't care. The Medic had heard it from the Engineer when he was contacted, so he already knew and didn't care. The Scout, Pyro, Demo, and Heavy didn't think it mattered, since if he was a demon, he would have run or destroyed the village already. The Soldier, Sniper and Spy seemed to guess this, and said he was simply the glass for the water, so to speak. Naruto, happy with their feelings toward him, thanked them all gratefully. The Hokage, who waited for them to finish, spoke to them about his ANBU to accompany them, and simply said the person would be a surprise when they met him. As to the council matters, he simply smiled and said, "You'll see." The next day, Naruto got news that a check for over 50,000,000 ryo had been put in his bank. The civilian council had been dismantled and they had to pay for all the years they had abused Naruto. He was extremely happy with his, and didn't stop cheering for the whole day.

The next thing that happened throughout the week was normal stuff. Naruto had gotten to know the rest of his new family, and every day for the week, had taken them to Ichiraku for dinner. He was happy to see that Soldier, Heavy, Demo and Scout had as much as an appetite as he did Suffice to say, the owner of the shop was crying tears of happiness when he got their pay and tip.

Now here they were, walking towards the gate, seeing the rest of the BLUs up ahead, along with the large blue thing on wheels. He quickly hopped off his dad's shoulders, running toward them with happiness. The Scout was first to see him, running up to Naruto and giving him a nuggie.

"Hey their squirt! You ready for this?" the Scout asked, releasing Naruto from the hold.

"You bet!" Naruto replied happily, hearing footsteps and was suddenly pulled into a huge bear hug.

"Little boy is coming with us! Heavy happy you join us!" the Heavy said happily, finishing his hug and putting Naruto down, who was trying to breathe from the result of the hug. He suddenly was tapped on the shoulder, looking behind him to see the Medic push up his glasses.

"Now little one," The Medic said as he looked at Naruto, "When we get to vere ve are going, ve will set up your belongings, and zen start ze surgery on your hand." He saw Naruto dampen at the news for a second, reminded of his arm, before switching back to a small smile at the Medic.

"Don't worry Medic-oji-san. I'll be ready for it." Naruto said the small smile on his face. The Medic relaxed visibly, smiling before ruffling Naruto's hair.

"Yes it will young one, yes it will."He said before turning and heading over to the blue thing. Before everyone else could do anything, they heard a frustrated cry. They looked over to see the Soldier with a pissed expression, looking at a watch he had.

"That ANBU the Hokage is sending with us is over a half hour late! Where is that dirtbag?" He yelled, clenching his fists in anger.

"Calm down mate," the Sniper said as he sipped a cup of coffee he had in his hand," The wanker will be here soon. And when he does, we'll kick his arse for bein' so bloody late." He smiled as he pulled out a jar with some yellow liquid in it. The Soldier smiled evilly before turning to the group.

"Alright men! As soon as the ANBU the Hokage sent gets here, were moving to base ASAP! Roger that?" he yelled at them in a commander-like voice.

"Yes sir." They said lamely before getting back to loading the blue thing with supplies. The Soldier grumbled before walking off to help, muttering about insubordination. Naruto, who still didn't get what the blue thing was, pulled his dad's pant leg.

"Hey tou-san?" Naruto asked as he pointed at the thing with his good arm, "What is that thing anyway." The Engineer smiled before looking at it.

"Well that my boy is what we folks call a truck." He said as he crossed his arms. "It can hold a lotta stuff, an' can move incredibly fast with the wheels, so we'll be able to get where were going in a couple hours." Naruto simply stared in awe as he looked at it in a new light.

"How far away is it if we were to walk?" he asked innocently. The Engineer tilted his head, thinking of the answer.

"Well…if we were to walk, and had to take continual brakes from carrying the stuff, I'd say…four to six weeks." The Engineer said calmly like it was nothing. Naruto's jaw dropped at this. It would take that long! Before he could reply, a voice spoke behind them.

"Sorry I'm late…" the voice said, making the two look behind them," I got lost on the road of life." It was a leaf jounin, wearing a green thick vest with pockets on it, along with dark blue shinobi pants and shinobi sandals, along with a dark blue long shirt. He wore dark blue metal plated gloves on his hands, revealing his fingers. On his face he wore a blue face mask, and his hitiate* covered his left eye. The most distinguishing figure was the gravity defying silver hair. They immediately recognized him when they saw the hair.

"Dog-nii-chan!" Naruto said loudly, making the man known as Dog sweatdrop.

"Um Naruto…could you not call me by that? I quit ANBU." The man formerly known as Dog said. Naruto quirked his head, confused at this.

"Then what do I call you?" He asked innocently. The man just closed his eye, making an upside down U to form an eye smile.

"Just call me Kakashi." He said as he looked at the Engineer. "So, were ready to leave?" The Engineer smiled a hint of an evil smirk in it.

"Yeah, we're finishin' up now…but you better get ready to defen' yourself." The Engineer said with his evil smile now up. "The others aren't too happy with late people." Before Kakashi could reply, he felt a shiver up his spine. He looked behind the Engineer and sweat dropped at the looks he was getting from the BLUs. He gulped before walking ahead of the Engineer and Naruto, getting ready to expect the worst.

"Sorry I'm late…" he said, putting a hand behind his head," I got lost on the road of life." Before any of the BLUs could answer, a voice replied. "Ah yes. Ze road of life. The flowers that grow on it are very wonderful to look at. All ze turns are a pain however." Everyone looked at the voice, seeing the Spy leaning on the truck with a smirk on his face and a cigarette in his hand. Kakashi was wide-eyed at this, slightly shocked at the words.

'He used my own excuse against me...oh he is getting it later' he mentally noted, as he simply eye smiled and said, "Yes, it is." He then quickly went to the truck, to avoid the shocked, smirking, and annoyed BLUs.

Back with the Engineer, he was kneeling at Naruto's level, looking him in the eye with a small smile. "Now Naruto," he said before putting a hand on his shoulder. "This is gonna be a big thing. You ready to do it?" he asked.

Naruto put on a huge fox grin before replying, "I was born ready! I'll get training to take jiji's hat, and I can spend time with my family! This is gonna be awesome! Believe it!" the Engineer's smile grew immensely as he picked up Naruto and carried him over to the car.

"Believe it huh? That could be your catch phrase." The Engineer said grinning. Oh how he would regret those words. How he would regret those words without even knowing it.

He picked up Naruto and put him in the trunk, where Pyro, Heavy, Soldier and Demoman were sitting. The Scout and Spy were on the roof of the truck, the Spy apparently annoyed while Scout talked to him. The Sniper sat in the driver's seat with the Medic in shotgun. As he passed the trunk, he thought he saw something squirming in the back of it. He looked in, and laughed at what he saw. Kakashi had been tied up with chains and rope with a gag over his mask, and a note was plastered to his head. It said, "DON'T BE LATE NEXT TIME WANKA!" He laughed at it before moving forward and hoping in next to Naruto.

As the Sniper started the truck, the engine roaring to life, the Engineer pulled his guitar out from behind a nearby crate. He strummed on the instrument, *the same tune from the forest* being played as the truck began to move away from the village. Naruto took one last look at it, before smiling and sitting next to his tou-san, listening to him play as the village began to fade into the distance.

'See you jiji' Naruto's last thoughts were, before he feel into peaceful sleep, the music bringing him something he hadn't felt since he met his new family. True happiness.

Alrighty! Sorry if the ending was a little corny, but I had to end it somehow. Plus my brain was at a dead end for this chapter, trying to think of how to put it forward. So here we go! Danzo and the banshee queen are gone, and so is the power of the council, life is good, no? Now important thing here: Naruto is being taught by Engie and Kakashi, along with the others, but he needs a secondary attribute skill before next chapter. Meaning he'll be also mainly learning from one of the other classes as his secondary skill beside ninja and Engineer. So! Another poll with be going up as to who exactly will be his 'second' BLU teacher. It will last until October 7th, so get votes in. And get more pairing votes in as well; this poll will last until October 21st, when the pairing will be officially decided.

Notes: * hope I spelled that right. It's the name of the head band.

** Name of the song is More Gun. Is played by the Engineer in his video on Meet the Engineer.

Next time! Seven year time skip, and some certain people will return! Find out next time on Meet the Orangineer!

This is Aussie Scum, an' have a g'day mates!"
