Chapter 14
Short Temper
Edward Elric, The Fullmetal Alchemist, was very frustrated, and very stressed, after crossing the Gate to destroy it from the other side, he and his brother expected to be thrown again in Munich, instead of that, he ended falling on a cake on a very different world that spoke a very strange language, fortunately, this man just happened to speak his language and offered him a book to learn the local language, of course, Edward knew this wasn't a coincidence, but he couldn't say that aloud, for he met this same man on the other two worlds, but couldn't tell if he was just another 'look alike' or not
Of course his situation was not bad, not at all, the air of this world is clean, he just found that he got back his human limbs back, and thanks to some books from Ankiseth's private library, he was able to transmutate things again, meaning easy money to make a life, yes, way too perfect to believe it, but there was only one missing thing, his dear brother, his only hope was that he finds nice people that will help him, just as he himself has done
"Still worried about your brother?", Naruto asked, startling the Alchemist
"DON'T SNEAK BEHIND ME!", Ed shouted, while jumping a few feet on the air
"Sorry, wasn't my intention", Naruto said
"I know, I know, ninja training, so yes, I'm worried, it has been one week since I got here, too much time without him, I'm hope he is ok", Ed replied with a sad voice
"Don't worry he'll be fine, Dad has ask for the help of the traveler merchants to find him", Naruto stated, knowing that his father most likely already found him
"Thank you, so, what brings you to my room?, need something fixed?, or is your father or the Hokage requesting my presence?", Edward asked, returning to his business mode
"Nope, I just wanted to know how were you doing... SHORTY", Naruto replied with a face spliting grin
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT AN ANT CAN STEP ON HIM IF IT NOT WALKS CAREFULLY??!!!", Ed shouted and then started to chase the blonde shinobi, who was laughing like a maniac, he really needed some fun, for Hinata was having a Medical check up, something that Atanih can not help with
Meanwhile...
Sasuke was having a bad day, for Neji and Tenten were laughing nonstop, laughing at his still red hand mark on his face, due to his stupid attempt on seducing Thrud
"STOP LAUGHING, IS NOT FUNNY!!!", Sasuke shouted, red in embarresment
"B-but i-it i-is f-funny!!!", Neji managed to say between chuckles
"YEAH!!!, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THE BAD BOY SASUKE WILL END KISSING THE FLOOR BY THE SLAP OF WOMAN!!!", Tenten said aloud, while holding her belly due to the laughter
"Don't laugh at him, is not funny, by the way, Sasuke, I suggest you to not say a word about your encounter with the blonde hottie to Sanger-sama, he will not take it kindly", Kakashi said, and while at first his voice made the other two genins to stop their laughter, upon seeing him battered and with a red hand mark on the face, any trace of respect they had for him banished
"HE TOO!!!!!", both Neji and Tenten scream at the same time, and then fell to the ground, where they rolled over and over, laughing without control
"Let's leave them here, I got clearance from the council to make sure you learn any useful technique to make you stronger, also I'm going to get you a powerful weapon", Kakashi said, grining behind his mask, and Sasuke's face brightened at this
At top of the Hokage mountain...
"Ok uncle, I'll tell that to aunt Iduun", Thrud pouted, in a very childish demenor that if any other male had saw it, they would have melted
"Good girl, though, I still don't quite agree with your choice, he is too young, even if he is a living legend", Lee said, doing his work as overprotective uncle
"Pedophile", Thrud replied while giggling, holding her laughter at the blushing face of the God of War
"THRUD!!!, IT'S NOT THE SAME!!!... Besides... this body is of her same age...", Lee replied, the blush not going away yet
"Yeah, right, taking a mate that is over 10,000 years younger than you is not being a pedophile, which gives me right to take her father as my mate, since he is a little less younger", Thrud stated in a playfully way
"THRUD!!!!!!!", Lee shouted, with a face red on annoyance
"I'M LEAVING, I'M LEAVING!!!", Thrud replied while mounting her winged horse, and taking high into the sky
"Such an annoying niece... and still I wouldn't change you for anyone else...", Lee said to himself, smiling at the memories of the times when Thor and Sif asked him to take care of their hyperactive child, to have their romantic dates
"Lee-san, what did your niece means when she said that you are over 10,000 years old?", Sanger asked from behind him, and Lee couldn't help but to think that the elder Zonbolt has just heard something he should not have heard yet
"Oh crap!", Lee muttered
At Konoha's main Gate...
The guards, always vigilant and loyal, were currently inspectioning a caravan of traveling merchants, that came from a nearby town, they weren't out of ordinary, just the common bunch that pass thru the area once in a year, the same 4 merchants of every year, with the exception of a helper, that had a contract about to expire
"I'm sorry Miles-san, but your contract with me ends in 3 hours, and I'm not going to pay your stay in Konoha after that happens", Said a female merchant to her helper
"But Boss!, at least let me get inside!, I don't want to sleep out here in the forest!", The young man pleaded, and this brought the attention of one of the guards
"What's going on here?", Kotetsu asked, while studying the young stranger, blue jeans, white runners, white shirt, grey hooded jacket, nope nothing out of the ordinary, just an average Joe
"My helper's contract is about to end, and I won't pay for his stay in Konoha, that's all", the merchant replied
"But I can find an employer once inside, at least to pay for to day", the young man said
"Ok, let me see the contract", Kotetsu commanded, and the merchant did as told, however, as Kotetsu started to read it, the female merchant went inside the village, along with the caravan, leaving the young helper outside with the guards
"Well, actually, you can enter, but you will be arrested if the contract ends and you don't get a new employer... HEY!, WHERE DID YOUR EMPLOYER GO?!", Kotetsu shouted, he hated to be ignored like this
"Don't get mad, Kotetsu, they did as they felt fit, leaving behind a possible trouble for them, not that this make it less horrible, so, what are we going to do about... what is your name?", Izumo asked, not liking the idea of either jail the poor man, or telling him to go and sleep on the woods alone
"Desmond, Desmond Miles, don't you happen to need a helper of some sorts?", Replied the man, with a hopeful face
"Kotetsu, what do you think, 3 hours may be enough to let him wander around?", Izumo asked to his friend.
"Actually, I have an Idea, so, Desmond-san, I have a simple assignment for you, take this money, and search for a man named Ankiseth Uzumaki, tell him we are sending you, he already knows what we want, while you are doing this, you can ask around for a more permanent employer, so, take your time", Kotetsu said while handling the man a pouch with a few coins, and the man went inside the village with a happy face
"That was very kind of you, Kotetsu, hope this won't cause any trouble", Izumo said with a surprised face
"Consider it as a 'Equivalent Exchange', just as the Pipsqueak uses to say, we have to do double shift today, and I really want my donuts", Kotetsu replied
"I knew you just couldn't do something for free, and I suggest you to not call the Alchemist that way, he gets agry so easily when remembered of his height", Izumo warned, for in only one week, the "Wrath of The Pipsqueak", has become legendary
"Hey!, is not my fault he didn't drink his milk when a child!", Kotatsu said while snickering
Meanwhile...
Sasuke and Kakashi were walking on the main street, Sasuke was very excited, for he wasn't able to figure which secret jutsus was he going to learn first
"So, sensei, what I'm going to learn first?, the Zonbolt swordplay?, the Maeda taming secrets?, or something from the Hokage library?", Sasuke asked
"I can't do anything about the Zonbolt and Maeda secrets, not even the Hokage can force them to reveal their techniques, but we'll get into the Hokage's library soon enough, for what are you going to learn, well, let's just say that I learned from a mission report that certain genins have some powerful jutsus that haven't been seen in many years", Kakashi replied, and Sasuke couldn't help but to grin at the though
"Ha!, so, a group of weaklings got access to some forgotten jutsus?, these jutsus will be better on my hands than in them, so, what are these powerful jutsus?", Sasuke asked now, full of himself
"I'll tell you later, first I'll see if I can get one of those legendary weapons from the Uzumaki shop, in the mean time, I want you to go with the Alchemist, and see if he can teach you his art, remember to be polite, for the Hokage has said he would be allowed a seat in the council shortly", Kakashi said, and Sasuke left, he was so engrossed with the idea of getting a legendary weapon, that he didn't hear the last part about being respectful
As Kakashi got near the small shop of the white clad merchant, he noticed that it was full of people purchasing a lot of things, the limitless supply of items was astonishing, but he didn't want anything from the things being showed, it was what the merchant wasn't showing what he wanted, so, he made his way between the people until he reached the merchant
"Uzumaki-san, I want to have a word with you", Kakashi asked
"Later, there are many customers in line before you, Hatake-san", Ankiseth replied so polite that it was impossible to say that he was avoiding him, but since this time it was a matter about his precious Uchiha, he will not wait for nobody
"My business is far more important than anyone of the people gathered here", Kakashi said quite aloud, trying to disperse the customers to get his hands on what he wanted
"I disagree, Hatake", Hiashi's voice sounded just at his right
"So, now your perversions are more important than us?, the Clan Heads?, you are making me angry, Kakashi-baka", Tsume's voice sounded at his left, he was about to retreat and wait for a better moment when...
"Indeed, you antics are quite disrepectful", Shibi's voice sounded just behind him
"Uh-oh!", Kakashi muttered, not daring to look behind
Meanwhile, Sasuke was having his own troubles with the Alchemist...
"What do you mean you can't teach me your art?!", Sasuke shouted, he has never been denied of anything, and he just wasn't going to start
"When I agree to work for Konoha, I made my point clear, I will lend my services for help in locating my brother, I know that there are teams searching for him right now, and that one week is very little time, but I will not accept an apprentice until I recover my brother", Ed replied, he already disliked the attitude of the chicken butt haired shinobi
"So, if I find your brother you'll teach me all your secrets?", Sasuke asked, trying to remain calm, for even him recognized the alchemy as a valuable skill to have
"Secrets?, you are a greedy one, aren't you?, look, even if I teach you all I know, you may not be able to do all I can, in fact, I doubt you'll be able to do half of the things I can do, even after 20 years of practice", Ed Replied bluntly
"Stupid CHIBI, who do you think I am, I'm Sasuke Uchiha!, and you are going to tell me how to use your art to it's full extent, so I can get what is mine!", Sasuke shouted with all his fury, but Ed only tilted his head
"Chibi?", Ed asked, in one week, certain words still were out of his knowledge, so, in front of a dumbfounded Sasuke, he took his dictionary, and searched for the unknown word, and when he find it, he read the meanings, and a vein poped on his forehead
Chibi: Adjective to refer to something small, diminute, short, little, also is used as an alternative to dwarf, midget or pipsqueak (If you are wondering, Ankiseth added some extended meaning to certain words in this dictionary)
"You, you... ARSCHLOCH!!! (SON OF A BITCH!!!)", Ed shouted, and then started to chase the last Uchiha, who not understood the insult, but he already knew that even when the alchemist wasn't a ninja, it was way healthier to flee from his wrath than face him
"Kotetsu, isn't that Elric-sama chasing the Uchiha kid?, should't we go and help the poor bastard?", Izumo asked as he sees the unmistakeable form of 'Mallet-Sama' in the hands of the Alchemist
"WHO CARES?!, WE HAVE CREAM FILLED DONUTS!!!", Kotetsu shouted with more happiness than anyone could suspect from him
"REALLY?!, CREAM FILLED DONUTS?!", Izumo replied, as a coincidence, bot loved that kind of donuts way too much, and it was a nice coincidence that Ankiseth mistaked their common cheap order for these expensive donuts
While this was happening, Naruto and Hinata were walking to the Hyuga compound, the reason to do this, is to let the elders see that Hinata was being returned to her home, just to not spend more time with the demon kid, of course this was only a charade to let Atanih in Hinata's room, and take Hinata to the Uzumaki apartment, however, as they were about to reach the compound, Hinata decided to take a little bit of her lover before reporting back to the elders, so, in a sudden outburst of love, she dragged him to the nearest alley, and then started to make out furiousl, until...
"What'cha doing boss?", Konohamaru suddenly asked while coming down of a tree, scaring the life out of the couple
"KONOHAMRU!, HOW MANY TIME I'VE TOLD YOU TO NOT INTERRUPT US LIKE THAT?!", Naruto shouted, while Hinata turned away and closed her white coat, while blushing maddly
"Awww... don't get mad at me Boss, you always get so distracted when you are glomping on your girl, is just so easy to sneak behind you while you are at it", Konohamaru teased, and while it was true, Naruto just hated to be exposed like that, thing that happens very often since he met the kid on the Hokage's office when he, Hinata and Lee went to give their pics for their files, and oh boy, how did they scared the little kid when he attempted his strike on Sarutobi
"Where are Moegi and Udon?, aren't they always around you?, and what are you doing so close to my home?, you know that my family don't take kindly your pranks", Hinata asked, noticing the lack of Konohamaru's partners
"Err... I... well...", Konohamaru babbled, but he wasn't able to formulate any excuse, for Hanabi just fell from the same tree, over Konohamaru, earning the stare of Hinata
"Don't look at me like that sister!, you have done far worst than this since the day you started to date Naruto!", Hanabi quickly defended, even when not being attacked at all
Later that night...
Reiko was returning from her training, which of course went bad from the moment the Uchiha brat showed up and demanded to be enlightened with the secret arts of both the Maeda and Zonbolt clans, which of course enraged the heirs of said clans for those are family secrets that where meant to stay like that, as secrets, not even scrolls had been made of them, fortunately, this ended when Naraku offered to train the chicken but haired bastard, who only huffed and left as if being offered a cooking class, but now, she was going home, to rest and get ready for the next day, where she surely will be able to talk with Lee, however, as she entered her home, she was greeted by a shocking scene
"DAD!, LEE!, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?!", Reiko asked with bulged eyes, for in front of her, the two men of her life were sat at the table drinking tea, with lots of bandages over their bodies
"Oh!, Reiko, good thing you are at home, this young man has pass my test of worthiness, congratulations for finding this good man!", Sanger boasted, really prideful of this day
"REALLY?!, YOU ACCEPT HIM AS MY BOYFRIEND?!, WE CAN DATE FEELY?!", Reiko asked with true happiness
"Better than that, you have been appointed as my wife!", Lee said with a prideful happiness, but instead of any voiced reaction, both men heard a loud thud
"She is just as impressionable as her mother was", Sanger said while chuckling, and at this, Lee smirked
"Oh!, and I need to let you now, I have found you worthy enough to claim the hand of my niece", Lee suddenly stated, and was rewarded by another loud thud from the Zonbolt Clan Head, thing that made him laugh a lot
