:::Author's Note:::
First up, i would like to say that i do not own Naruto
secondly, i noticed that i didn't give a description for the technique naruto used in the previous chapter, something that will be remedied at the end of theis chapter
Now i would like to say that the concept of 'evil' can be up to debate, and leaving Naruto will leave Konoha for various reason that will be elaborated when the story get further under way.
one more thing, i know that this is my story, but you guys are the ones that are reading it, so i want to entertain you, thus your input is welcomed. and will affect the flow of certain parts of the story
also, this was written (again) in the dead of night, so i was tired and if people think it needs revision, put it in a review
right now on with the story.
Naruto stood atop the cliff face that was decorated with the faces of the Hokages, present and past. His style had changed somewhat from the bright orange track suit to an outfit similar to what his alternate persona, Tatsumaki Sakkaku wears, though there are stark differences to keep people from making the connection if they knew said persona. Naruto's rendition of his alter ego's outfit consisted of a sleeveless, white, hooded coat that reached his mid calf in length; the coat was worn open and showed off a mid-sleeved mesh shirt; his pants were simple and deep blue in colour, cinched with a black cloth belt which had his weapons pouch attached underneath the coat at his back; he wore close toed boots that rose to where his coat stopped; and the hood of his coat was off, showing the black head band on his forehead bearing the Konoha emblem.
His outfit was not the only thing he saw fit to change since the conception of his façade. Naruto also decided that a new personality was needed as well, mostly because even he couldn't stand acting like a complete imbecile for the entirety of the six years that had passed, and had resulted in him developing the personality he now presented the people of Konoha, a seemingly happy-go-lucky attitude. Another discernible trait he had developed, due to his 'unique' history lessons from the fox, was that he referred to everyone around him with the 'chan' suffix as he ultimately felt older than them.
The 'unique' lessons that resulted in this was less a lesson and more a sharing of experiences. While meditating and thus speaking to the fox, the Kyuubi decided that a more comprehensive and effective method of informing Naruto about history and certain 'facts of life' would be to perform a temporary Mind Meld. The technique allowed for the minds of two entities to fuse allowing for the easier and more secretive passage of knowledge, similar to the Yamanaka technique that allowed their minds to intrude on another's. When it was performed, Naruto ended up experience almost all of the foxes life, the experiences being severed moments before being sealed by Uzumaki Mito. This resulted in Naruto having felt like he was nearly several hundred years old, having experienced that much of the foxes 'life'.
This experience allowed Naruto to know the foxes name, Kurama, though neither of them really cared either way since they referred to each other with insulting monikers; 'Old Hag' and 'Ero-Kitsune' being a couple from Naruto; while 'Mortal', 'Brat' and, the most hated and demeaning for Naruto, 'Little Fishcake'. The moniker of Ero-Kitsune was conceived one day, during his first year at the academy, when Naruto attempted to visit the fox in the seal. He had ventured into his mind and come across the fox, still in her human form, and was stark naked while masturbating.
Needless to say, the boy was slightly traumatised by the scene at first but had quickly recovered from the shock and had been part of the reason for the Mind Meld resulting in his change in façade. The event also resulted in Naruto taking some interest in various books that he had found in several bookstores called 'Icha Icha', which were, ironically, more informative about sex and associated topics than the foxes Mind Meld was.
"Konoha really does look beautiful in the mid morning light, don't you think, Old Hag?"
"I wouldn't know, since I've never seen it, Brat."
The verbal sparring that occurred between the two of them was something they had both come to enjoy. It allowed them to interact how they wanted without feeling like they were becoming closer, a fact that neither of them could miss since the Mind Meld.
Naruto closed his eyes and lifted his head, allowing the breeze to dance around him, letting him experience all the scents and sounds that were drifting on the wind.
"It's nice to have a relaxing environment when reflecting on the recent past." Naruto opened his eyes as he said this.
"I suppose it is but why are you reflecting now of all times? It's a little weird considering you had an entire week before placements took place, and you decide to reflect the 'morning' of the team placements. That's just plain strange."
"You have a point, but I want to spend more time with my Benihime. Besides I was finalising and checking over some of the failsafe plans, in case Konoha turns on me, throughout the past week."
"Konoha wouldn't betray you, I mean, I know humans can be petty but they aren't that bad, right." Kurama's voice wavered slightly on the last word.
Naruto's expression became sombre before he replied, "I hope so, Kurama, I really do. Anyways, now that my reflection has become depressing, I suppose we can leave it there. Now, I need to make a few stops before we get to the academy."
Naruto leapt from the mountain top he was standing on, free falling to the village below. Moments before impacting with the ground, Naruto flipped his body several times before landing in a crouch. Kurama clapped from within the seal before raising a card with the number '9.5' on it.
"What?! How was that only a nine point five performance?" Naruto cried out indignantly.
"You used chakra to resist your fall, slowing you down and altering your fall time. It wasn't a natural landing so thus the deduction" The judgement was quickly accepted by Naruto who then bounded off, taking to the rooftops to save time.
Ten minutes later found Naruto standing in front of the, more or less, deserted grounds of the Uchiha residetial complex. Two years had passed since the Uchiha massacre, the only known survivors of the Uchiha clan being Itachi, the man who performed the clan massacre; Sasuke, his little brother and Mikoto, mother to both Sasuke and Itachi, who had taken a small vacation several days before the massacre. Seeing the bare state of the complex, Naruto started thinking about the night the night of the massacre.
:::Night of the Uchiha Massacre:::
"Hate me. Despise me. And run, cling to your pathetic existence and run away. Live out your unsightly life and when you have the same eyes, come find me."
Itachi looked at Sasuke over his left shoulder, his Mangekyou Sharingan blazing, which allowed him to cast a small genjutsu that resulted in Sasuke falling unconscious. Letting out a small sigh, Itachi turned back to face the now prone body of Sasuke, but stopped himself when he heard the sound of clapping coming from behind him. Itachi whipped his head around to see the source of the clapping and was shocked to see Naruto, his sworn little brother, standing amongst the carnage clapping. What shocked him even more was the apparel that he was wearing; Simple black pants, boots, a short sleeved mesh shirt that was being covered slightly by a long, blood red, sleeveless coat with hood hiding the upper portion of his face.
"That was an excellent show Itachi-chan, although the way you handled your brother might cause some problems."
Shocked by what he was hearing, Itachi couldn't comprehend that Naruto was saying such things and immediately assumed that the person was an imposter. This resulted in a riotous laughter bursting from Naruto, who then recited the long winded oath that they had both made alongside Sasuke at the start of his days in the academy. The recital convinced Itachi, and as Naruto walked past him to Sasuke's unconscious form, he began to wonder who Naruto really was.
"I'm still the same person you know, just a little more well connected and intelligent than I let show." Naruto said, eliciting a surprised look from Itachi. "I knew this outcome was imminent, and for what it's worth, I'm sorry it came to this."
"That's okay, Naruto-otouto. Although, I am curious why you think my dealing with Sasuke might become a problem?" Itachi did not lose a step, despite his mind racing and still trying to comprehend that the every joyful little brother of his was accepting the gruesome scenery with such nonchalance.
"Well, I suppose I'll answer your question with one of my own, 'Who does Sasuke take after the most?' the answer to that should explain why I think it may cause problems." Itachi furrowed his brow slightly in an attempt to answer the question that had been posed to him. "Look, I understand that we are a little pressed for time at the moment, so think about it later. I just wanted to give you something before you leave and ask a favour." As Naruto finished, he pulled two scrolls out from in his coat, "I think you'll find these scrolls to be quite enlightening for your illusions, and for the favour, I want you to keep in touch especially if you find something that might interest or affect me."
Taking the scrolls, Itachi started thinking on the request, before he quickly gave his agreement. Thinking a bit more, Itachi thanked Naruto. The boy tilting his head slightly, showing his confusion, and asking why. "You convince my mother to take that vacation a couple of days ago, thus saving me from having kill her as well. So I thank you." His confession was followed by a deep bow.
"Whoa, Itachi-chan. You're my sworn brother, of course I'm going to do what I can to keep your family safe as well, it's a part of our oath." Naruto's grinned, which caused Itachi to smile slightly as well, "but enough of that, I believe I said it earlier but we our running short on time, see you later Itachi-chan and don't forget to keep in touch alright." Naruto then faded out, as if he had never been there.
:::Present Time:::
Naruto shook his head out of the memories and heading into the complex, looking for the person he had come to visit. After a minute of walking through the empty streets, Naruto finally came up to the building he had been searching for. Approaching the door, the teenager rapped his knuckles on the door to alert the resident of his presence, and only moment later the door was opened and Uchiha Mikoto stood in its place.
"Oh, Good morning Naruto. Come inside, are you excited about becoming a Shinobi of the leaf?" Mikoto asked walking back inside with Naruto close in tow. Naruto grinned and nodded, he then started to compliment Mikoto's cooking, as a small breakfast set for three was at the table. The blonde teenager had been making regular trips to the Uchiha complex, mostly to visit Mikoto, since the massacre, and even before then, which resulted in Naruto being invited to eat with Mikoto and Sasuke. Though Sasuke rarely spoke to his mother anymore, the massacre and Itachi's Tsukuyomi dealt a hard blow to the young boys mind, and as such he hardly accepted anything outside of his search for power so he could enact vengeance on Itachi.
"Mikoto-chan, will you marry me, then I could eat your cooking every day." Naruto said jokingly, though despite knowing this, Mikoto blushed slightly.
"Naru-chan, we don't need to be married for me to cook for you every day you know. Just come here every morning and I'll cook for you."
"Ne, But I bet if we get married, I'll never let you cry or be lonely again." Naruto's quickly reply caught Mikoto off guard, In the four years since the Uchiha massacre, Naruto had become one of the few people that were truly close to Mikoto, the others being the clan heads and their wives in particular. Because of this, and Naruto's frequent visits, Mikoto had come to accept Naruto as a confidant, which quickly resulted in him becoming irreplaceable in Mikoto's fragile mind.
"Oh look at the time, aren't you going to be late?" A flustered Mikoto herded Naruto out the door, which she slumped on after closing behind the somewhat effervescent blonde, "You're going to be a real heart breaker someday Naru-chan, but I don't you really want an old lady like me." Mikoto had been talking to herself, but unfortunately for her, Naruto heard her through the door.
"I hope I do, Mikoto-chan, after all, people are easier to manipulate if they are hopelessly in love or hate your guts." Naruto walked away from building that Mikoto lived in and left the Uchiha complex slowly making his way to the academy. Almost thirty minutes later, Naruto arrived at the academy, and made his way to the seat that he had come to frequently occupy during classes, the seat next to Hyuuga Hinata.
The Hyuuga heiress had long blue/black hair that was tied up in a pony tail reaching her mid-back, the fringe being a bowl cut save for two bangs that reached her jaw line on either side of her head; her clothes consisted of a mesh shirt over a black bra covered by an open beige parka; Hinata also wore a pair of black shorts that reached just below her knees, ad on her feet she had a pair of kunoichi approved sandals with thick heels. (1)
"Good morning Naruto-sam… kun." Hinata greeted, a light blush dusting her cheeks. Naruto saw this and started remembering the first interaction he had with the beautiful young girl.
:::Three years earlier:::
Naruto had just left the academy grounds and was strolling throughout the village on his usual route, letting himself be seen and heard before disappearing. He soon realised that someone had been following him since he left the academy and sought to lose them. Turning into an alleyway, Naruto quickly placed an illusion over himself and lay in wait for his stalker to appear. Having expected one of the teachers that hate him, Naruto was pleasantly surprised and quite confused to see a young Hyuuga girl from the class two years his junior being the one following him, Naruto decided to approach the girl and find out why she was following him.
Hinata was surprised when she followed Naruto into the alleyway, because when she turned into it, he was nowhere to be seen. Venturing further in, Hinata started gathering the chakra to activate her Byakugan, only to be startled by someone tapping on her shoulder.
"You looking for something, Kanojo-chan (2)?" the person asked.
"Yes, I was following and watching someone, and now they are gone. Do you know… " Hinata turned to face the person who had spoken, trailing off her question when she saw who it was.
Behind her, Naruto was grinning widely and spoke with no mirth hidden, "Following and watching, was it, is that what the kids are calling it these days?" Hinata's reaction to his presence and amusment, was to promptly faint. Naruto raised an eyebrow at this and realised why she had fainted, the small smile that adorned her unconscious face betrayed her attraction to the blonde teen. Looking to find any observers, Naruto grinned slightly noticing none and picked the unconscious girl up carrying her out of the alleyway and across the village to training ground 17, one of the few training grounds that wasn't frequently used.
Hinata woke up almost fifteen minutes later, tied to a tree. Immediately assuming the worst Hinata starts panicking, and tears threaten to spill from her eyes. Naruto saw this and decided to try and calm her down.
"Hey there Kanojo-chan, I'm sorry about tying you up like that but I wanted to ask a few questions. First of all, what's your name?" Hearing Naruto's voice, Hinata visible calmed and gave her full name although she was still a little tense in anticipation for what he had planned. "Alright Hinata-chan, I now can I ask why you were following me?" Hinata blushed, and lowered her head but with some encouragement from Naruto, she confessed her admiration of his steadfast nature in the face of adversity admitting that she wished she could be like that.
Naruto thought for a bit, he recognised that she was the girl he had saved only two years ago from being kidnapped, he then decided to help her again, since it would useful to have allies in the major clans of Konoha, "Alright Hinata-chan, I think I can help with that fainting problem you have and I don't think you would stay put if I told you what I planned on doing to help, so I'm goin to have to leave you tied up for the moment." Hinata nodded to show she was listening and was accepting the help, "Now all I'm going to do, is read you a story. Once I'm finished, you can go home."
'Naruto's plan had been to read a story to me?' Hinata thought to herself, and she started wondering how this would help with her fainting problem and why she needed to be tied up. Her thought were soon answered when Naruto pulled out a green covered book with the words 'Icha Icha' printed on the front cover. Having never heard of Icha Icha before, Hinata tried think ofhow it would possibly help stop her from fainting.
"…Yukina took off the shirt she had been wearing, her breasts were covered by bandages. The girl blushed and apologise for having a flat chest, but was quickly silenced by a pair of lips being pressed against her own.
'Nonsense, Yuki-chan. You're breasts are perfect.' Noburo said, carassing the pale skin surrounding Yukina's bindings…"
Naruto had been reading for twenty minutes now, and had already read through several sex scenes in the novel. Five minutes into reading, Naruto slapped Hinata awake telling her that he would kiss her at five minute intervals if she could refrain from fainting throughout the book. This caused her to perk up and had refused to faint since, receiving three kisses on the cheek. Ten minutes into reading Naruto had untied Hinata and allowed her to make herself comfortable. After thirty minutes, Naruto stopped reading, telling Hinata that they would continue the next day.
Hinata bowed and left Naruto with a large smile on her face. The next day Hinata followed Naruto to the place that he had taken her before, this became ritual for several weeks until Naruto had read all the Icha Icha books in his collection. Hinata had come to love the books and secretly bought them for herself when Naruto had finished reading them, but the prospect f having no reason to meet with Naruto after classes at the academy caused her to sadden slightly.
The day after having finished the last of the Icha Icha series, Naruto proposed that they do some training until the next book was released. Hinata immediately discouraged the idea saying that she didn't want to bring Naruto down with her weakness, something that Naruto scoffed at. Naruto then told Hinata to show him just how bad she was in a spar.
The spar didn't progress very far before Naruto stopped it to ask Hinata some questions, "Hinata, why are you holding back?"
The question didn't seem to faze the girl, who was looking down with shame saying that she wasn't holding back, she was just weak. Naruto raised an eyebrow at this and told her what he saw in the fight, that he had seen her body flinch towards attacking, evading or defending but hesitated resulting in the lack of movement. This revelation surprised Hinata, as she had always been told that her hesitation was just weakness and that because of this she was weak. Sighing Naruto went about encouraging the once shy girl to attack him, ensuring that she could not do any lasting damage to him.
The ensuing spar was much more intense, Hinata stopped hesitating and started attacking and defending more actively. Although she was thoroughly beaten in the spar, Hinata felt somewhat more accomplished, at least until Naruto started giving his assessment, "Wow, you do suck." They words struck Hinata right to the core and toppled the self esteem she built for herself in the short few moments that had just passed.
"Okay, Hinata how long have you been training?" Naruto had his hand on his chin and his eyes closed. Hinata stated that she had only started her training a year earlier. This surprise Naruto as he had believed that she would have started training long before being admitted to the academy, and not when she had been admitted. Hinata was unnerved by the silence that had resulted from Naruto's musing on the information that she had just given.
"Okay," Naruto started, which caused Hinata to jump slightly from the abrupt outburst, "You do suck, but that is only because you haven't been trained enough and you are obviously being put down throughout your training which is why you had, and I suppose still have, such low self-esteem. Every afternoon, after leaving the academy, you will meet me here and I will train you, and since whoever is training you at the Hyuuga complex doesn't like you, don't listen to anything they say outside of training instruction because it is utter nonsense. I can tell that you have great potential, but your hesitation and low self-esteem belittles the abilities you currently have, so when I'm through with you, you will be a confident and strong kunoichi in training."
:::Present Time:::
Naruto had trained Hinata into the ground and continued to give praise when she surpassed previous limitations. The results became that Hinata seemed almost like a younger version of Anko, though neither of them had ever met each other, a point of continual amusement to Naruto who could see the many similarities, such as their dress code and personalities.
"Good morning to you as well, Hinata-chan." His reply to her greeting received a customary blush from the Hyuuga heiress.
Hinata acted in an almost subdued manner to Naruto, another change that resulted from his continuous praise and acceptance of her. The girl acted indifferent to almost everyone, but if Naruto told her to act otherwise, she would comply immediately without question. The reason being that since her mother died from complictions during her little sisters birth, her father became more withdrawn opting for the Hyuuga elders to train her when the time came. The elders believed that because Hinata was so much like her mother then she would be useless and weak, belittling her at every chance they had.
When Hinata started training with Naruto, they protested which was ignored in favour of a trial period. The period was to see if Hinata would improve under Naruto's tutelage and lasted for three months, although everyone saw the stark changes in Hinata's personality and ability long before the trial period was over. Hinata noticed that after being trained by Naruto, the elders and everyone that had previously belittled her started to act kinder to her, which had she not become attached to Naruto, she would have relished in their affections but by this point Hinata could see that they didn't truly care for her which proved a point that Naruto had once told her even more. This turn of events resulted in Hinata convincing herself that she would be Naruto's and no matter what he asked of her, she would do it because he would never betray or belittle her.
The people in the academy room bustled and chatted amongst themselves, waiting for Umino Iruka, the teacher, to arrive and announce the placements. Iruka walked in the door and one of the students noticed that his usual partner, Mizuki, was absent. Iruka informed the class that mizuki was found trying to leave Konoha with the 'Scroll of Sealing' which was why he was absent. After the short announcement, Iruka used his unique technique to help settle the class and began reading out the Team assignments.
"Team 7; Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Naruto. Your Jounin instructor is Hatake Kakashi."
When Sakura's name was called out, she stood up screeched at Ino and declared that 'true love conquers all', but when Naruto's name was called out afterwards she groaned and slumped in her seat with her head falling on her desk with a loud impact. Naruto and Hinata both snickered at her reactions and waited quietly for the rest of the teams to be called out.
"Team 8; Aburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba and Hyuuga Hinata. Your Jounin instructor is Yuhi Kurenai."
Naruto's eyes widened slightly which went unnoticed by everyone except Hinata. She turned to him and asked what was wrong, and the reply surprised her. "Your Jounin instructor is my first love, though our current relationship is a little complicated." Hearing that someone else held Naruto's heart caused Hinata to deflate slightly before renewing her resolve and declaring to herself that she would prove herself more worthy that this Kurenai person.
The rest of the teams were called out and soon the Jounin instructor came into the room calling out the teams assigned to them, until only team 7 and team 8 were left. Kurenai walked into the room to call out the team that had been assigned to her when suddenly, one of the Genin beat her to the punch.
"Wow miss, you're really pretty, are sure you're a kunoichi?" Sakura huffed at the implications and Hinata stared at the person next to her and wondered why he said that, not to mention why he was acted the way he was. Unlike his normal teasing behaviour, Naruto was gushing praises of beauty and insinuation quite heavily that the woman at the front of the room was a princess rather than a kunoichi. This caused Hinata to feel exceptionally jealous and when she finally called them out after Naruto's copious praises, Hinata started to storm out of the room only to stop when Naruto called out, "See you later, Hinata-hime." The princess honorific dissolved all of her previously dark and jealous feelings, resulting in Hinata skipping out of the room rather than storming out.
Neith Sasuke nor Sakura thought twice about the trade-off that had occurred, but after three hours they were becoming irritable. Just as Sakura was about to screech at Naruto for something she had deluded herself into believing he did, the door open once more and a man with silver hair the spike up from his head and leaning to the left, he wore standard Jounin attire with the addition of some gloves with metal plates on the back, a cloth mask that covered his nose and mouth and his headband tilted to cover his left eye.
"My first impression of you is… I don't like you. Meet me up on the roof in ten minutes."
The man shunshin'd away before any of the three could react forcing them to trudge their way to the roof of the academy. When they reached the place that he was waiting, Kakashi was sitting on a rail with a book in hand and reading silently. The three Genin sat down in front of him and wait for him to address them.
"Alright before we start, why don't we introduce ourselves. You know, say our names, likes, dislikes, and reams for the future, that sort of thing."
Sakura piped up say that he should start, "Alright; my name is Hatake Kakashi; my likes aren't any of your business; my dislikes are the same; and my dreams for the future, well I've never really thought about it." The common thought between all three of the Genin was that they only learnt his name, "Alright, Pinkie. You're up."
Sakura glared at the cycloptic Jounin before introducing herself, which consisted of her name and glances at Sasuke before blushing or squealing, for her likes and dreams respectively. Had Kakashi not such excellent control, he would have fallen face first into the ground simply from the blatant fan-girl attitude she had, noticing that she hadn't said what she disliked, Kakashi asked the question, "Ino-buta and Naruto-Baka." The answer was quick, decisive and quite loud, and only served to prove to Kakashi that she was almost a hopeless case.
"Aww, don't worry Sakura-chan, I love you too." Naruto said in response to the banshee wannabe's clear derision of him. Kakashi raised an eyebrow at this and opted for Naruto to be the next introduction, this one was almost a repeat of what he had said to the three of them in his own introduction. Kakakshi smiled, though it only showed with the way his only visible eye crinkled, before asking Sasuke give his introduction.
"I'm Sasuke, I don't really like anything, I dislike a lot of things and my dream is more of an ambition, and it is to kill a certain person." Naruto snickered at this and spoke up in response, "Look, if you want to kill Sakura-chan that badly, you don't need to make your ambition. Kakashi chuckled at the obviously joking Naruto's comment, but Sakura opted for her default reaction, screeching.
Once Sakura had finished, Kakashi coughed several times to get the attention of the three Genin in front of him, "Alright, now that we've introduced each other, I'm going to tell you about our first mission tomorrow, and our mission is going to be a survival training with me."
When Kakashi finished saying this he started laughing and when asked why, he replied that they would flip when they heard the reason, "This training also serves as a test, and of the 27 graduates, only 9 will pass."
Hearing this, Sakura cried out in minor outrage, "Then why did we even take the academy's test in the first place?" The answer didn't help to settle the nerves that where already slightly frayed.
"That was just to weed out any that would be completely incompetent." After saying this, Kakashi stood up to leave but stopped to say one last thing before leaving, "Also, if you eat breakfast tomorrow, you'll puke. The details are on this sheet, good luck." Kakashi shunshin'd away leaving the three Genin hopefuls to their thoughts.
'So 9 people pass out of 27, and from what I've read in history, Konoha never assigns Genin teams without 4 people meaning 3 Genin and their Jounin instructor. Also, Kakashi is a stickler for teamwork, despite his rocky history in the subject meaning that the survival training will probably test our ability to work together.' When Naruto brought out of his thoughts, he was alone on the roof of the academy building, Naruto then leapt off the roof and started heading for the Uchiha complex, since both he and Hinata had agreed not to meet today for the sake of their team introductions.
Naruto reached the complex and immediately made his way to the house that Mikoto had refused to move out of since the massacre. Knocking on the door and letting himself inside, like he had done so many times before, Naruto started moving through the house looking for the mother of his sworn brothers. While looking around the house, Naruto hear the sounds of crying coming from the master bedroom.(3)
Opening the door to look inside, he saw just what he had expected to see. Mikoto was lying face down in a pillow, bawling her eyes out. Walking into the room, Naruto approached the emotionally distraught woman and shook her to get her attention. Mikoto looked at the person who had roused her from the fitful nap she had taken, she soon realised that the person she was looking at was Naruto.
"Are you okay, Mikoto-chan? It sounded like you were crying." Naruto was truly concerned, because even though he had little love left for Sasuke, his mother was someone he had come to care about.
Mikoto burst into tears when Naruto, asked the question. She then started blubbering into his chest and if he hadn't been through this regularly with her when he deaths of her family where still fresh, Naruto wouldn't have understood a single word that she had attempted to say. The blonde teen soothed the woman in his arm, stroking her back for added effect, and told her to repeat what she had said, despite knowing exactly what it was, only slower and with more enunciation. Mikoto had been thinking about her family and eventually she regress to a state of absolute anxiety since Naruto didn't visit from the team placing and the time had already reached dusk.
Naruto apologised for being late and proceeded to inform Mikoto about the team placements, particularly that he was also with Sasuke on his team. After saying who his Jounin instructor was, Mikoto laughed and informed the slightly confused teen that she could understand why he was late now. Eventually they had talked themselves well into the night, and when Naruto tried to excuse himself, Mikoto latched onto his arm and pleaded for the boy not to leave, saying that it was only for the night. The look that Mikoto gave Naruto next caused him to cave, as it was the puppy dog pout, a sure fire look that can ensure the compliance of any straight male.
Naruto took a shower and was going to settle himself down in one of the other rooms, but he was stopped when Mikoto told him that asking to stay with her would be pointless if he was going to sleep in another room. Walking back to the master bedroom, Naruto was slightly startled to see Mikoto in a dark blue set of erotic sleep wear, the top was effectively an opaque bra with transparent material draping from the bottom of it and splitting at the front, while the bottom was little more than a G-string in a style to match the top. Despite reading Icha Icha quite frequently, Naruto had yet to see a woman in the state that Mikoto was in right now, so in an attempt not to make a fool out of himself, Naruto swallowed the saliva that had built up upon seeing Mikoto and complimented her appearance, "Wow Mikoto-chan, You look really sexy in that."
Mikoto giggled at the completely entranced look that Naruot had on his face before he shook it off and told that she looked sexy. Mikoto sauntered over to the bed that Naruto was sitting on and sat next to him, "Thank you for that, Naru-chan. Thank you for everything you've done for me." Mikoto had started to hug Naruto from behind as she said this, her firm breasts pressing into his back.
Naruto was starting to become increasingly more aroused by the close contact and Kurama was egging her host towards just taking the woman, since it was obvious that she wanted it, 'Shut up, Ero-Kitsune. While Mikoto may be someone I plan on taking in the future, but right now it doesn't help nor further my plans in the least, not to mention that if it gets out then it will do far more damage to what I have accomplished already.' Kurama huffed saying that it probably wouldn't matter and started complaining that she wanted to have sex, or at least for Naruto to have sex, so she could experience it.
Naruto turned to Mikoto, took both shoulders in his hands and looked her in the eyes, "Mikoto, you have lost so much and you still suffer from that, but you also have plenty of friends amongst the clan heads and their wives, while I hardly did anything for you, so there's no need to thank me. Now let's go to bed okay, I have to get up early tomorrow so I can enjoy you exceptional cooking and so I can watch my team mates face when Kakashi shows up late again."
Mikoto frowned slightly when Naruto downplayed his part in helping her recover from the deaths of her family and clan, but she did not protest when he suggested that they sleep. Settling themselves under the sheets, Mikoto snuggled into Naruto's chest, who in turn wrapped his arms protectively around her. In Mikoto's mind, she was debating the amount that Naruto did for her since the massacre, and currently she was convinced that he had done more for her than anyone in the entire village combined a thought that convince her that she would strive never to lose Naruto, no matter the cost.
When morning came, Naruto woke up first, he looked down at Mikoto who had an expression of complete satisfaction. Naruto managed to untangle himself from Mikoto, who had somehow wrapped her legs around one of his in the middle of the night. After finishing his business in the bathroom, Naruto walked to the kitchen and started setting aside the ingredients and necessary utensils to cook some breakfast, and then started cooking.
Mikoto woke up some time later and could smell food being cooked. Still groggy from having just woken up, she trudged out of bed and down to the kitchen, only to stop and take a closer look at the person who was cooking. Naruto turned around while cleaning up and saw Mikoto peering at him in an inquisitive manner.
"Good morning, Mikoto-chan. I already made breakfast for you, it's on the table so dig in, anyway since you woke up so late I also did some cleaning around the kitchen for you, but no I need to go, so I'll see you later today, okay." Naruto walked up to the woman, who was currently trying to make heads and tails of what she had just awoken to, a gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek before walking out the door bidding his goodbyes again.
Mikoto lifted a hand and touched the place where Naruto had kissed her, "Maybe I should marry him, if he can cook a proper breakfast as well." She sat at the table where the food was, inspecting it closely and could find any visible fault with it, in fact it appeared quite appetising. Before long the entire meal had been finished and Mikoto was taking the dishes to be washed, 'Definitely need to keep Naruto.' Being one of the prominent thought passing through her mind.
At training ground 7 where the sheet had stated that the survival training would take place, Naruto was currently amusing himself with the reactions of his team mates. Sakura was ready to go completely ballistic, and the only thing stopping her from doing so was the fact that she had a completely empty stomach. Sasuke was getting slightly irritated, thouhg he hid it well but to Naruto's powers of observation, he may as well have been wearing a neon sign stating his annoyance.
It was around 10 before Kakashi revealed himself, as he did, Sakura screeched out the obvious fact that he was late and Sasuke glared lightly at the cycloptic Jounin. Before Sakura could continue with her screeching, Kakashi gave the objective of the 'survival training', which was to obtain two bells that would be attached to his belt. The catch was that whoever couldn't get a bell would fail and be sent back to the academy.
Immediately the musing Naruto had the previously afternoon came rushing back to him, and he knew exactly what the 'training' would test. Smirking Naruto spouted off that he would easily be able to kill the Jounin when said Jounin mentioned that to get a bell, they would to attempt with the a killing intent.
Kakashi tried insulting Naruto by saying that the weakest of people usually act out the most, Naruto knew what the silver haired man was trying to do and decided to take the bait but not in the way the Jounin would expect. Naruto reached down and grabbed his kunai, spinning until he was holding it back handed, and pulled his arm back only for Kakashi to grab it and position the kunai point at the base of Naruto's skull.
"Slow down, I have told you to start yet." The other two Genin were impressed by the show of speed but Naruto just chuckled and said something that confused everyone present.
"Good thing I'm not holding a kunai in that hand, ne." as Naruto said this, the arm that Kakashi had been holding just disappeared, causing Kakashi to jump back. "Hey Kakashi, since you didn't tell us to go, do I have to give these back?" Naruto held up his right hand showing the two bells that Kakashi showed the three of them earlier.
Kakashi's visible eye widened and said that since they hadn't technically started that he did indeed have to return the bells, but internally he was both impressed and a little worried. In Naruto's left hand was a kunai that was positioned just were Kakashi's groin had been earlier. Taking the bells from Naruto, Kakashi called the training into a start to which Sasuke and Sakura jumped out of the clearing.
Kakashi looked about the training field for the Genin hopefuls, assessing their abilities at stealth, only to stop when he came upon Naruto who was still in the field watch Kakashi closely. He called Kakashi out and said he knew exactly what this training was testing and after that he started walking confidently towards Kakashi. Kakashi sighed and reached for his pouch while speaking, "The first of a shinobi's fighting disciplines: Taijutsu." As he finished, Kakashi pulled a book out of his pouch, Icha Icha Paradise.
Naruto saw the book and voiced his approval of Kakashi's choice in literature, though he questioned whether Kakashi would prefer to read the book or himself. Naruto then brought his hands into the tiger seal, a motion that caught the attention of everyone, before Naruto spoke once more, "The secondof a shinobi's disciplines: Genjutsu."
"Ninja art: Siren Transformation Technique"
Immediately, Naruto was surrounded by a cloud of white smoke which soon dissipated. What was left caused everyone's collective jaws to drop, because there in place of Naruto was a buxom young woman who appeared to be in her early twenties, she had long red that reached her lower back; her skin was a porcelain white, completely unblemished; the woman was wearing something that caused both males' noses to bleed slightly, as it was a simple red yukata that was being held up by her breast and the sash, and it barely covered her long legs.
Kakashi almost dropped his book when he saw the transformation, and stood stock still, even when the transformed Naruto started walking closer. When Naruto reached Kakashi, she whispered into into his ear, "You're dead." Before kissing him lightly on the cheek and walking away while laughing. By the time Kakashi had regain control of his mental faculties, Naruto had long since disappeared, sighing and suppressing a shiver at the sheer danger of that particular technique.
Sakura was still gaping from the events that had just happened and when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Looking over her shoulder at the person who had just tried to gain her attention, and when she saw that it was Naruto, she was about to screech as per her default reaction. Naruto's hand shot out and covered Sakura's mouth before she could screech, and he showed her the bell that he had taken in his earlier interaction with Kakashi, "I'm going to move my hand from your mouth soon but remember that you can't screech at everything okay. Now I'm going to give this bell to you, so don't give it to Sasuke because he won't accept your help since it wouldn't be cool for him to take such charity."
Sakura thought about what Naruto just said and agreed, but warned the blonde that she would be having a talk with him after the survival training was training, and said blonde just shrugged his shoulders and told Sakura that Kakashi would be slightly busy with Sasuke at the moment before leaving. Sakura put the bell into her pouch and followed Naruto, only to find him standing over the disembodied head of Sasuke. Before fainting, Sakura screamed and provided her quota of excessive noise for the past hour.
Another hour past and, supposedly, none of the Genin hopeful managed to take the last bell from Kakashi, and finally the bell rang. Kakashi called the three tgether and said that he was disappointed since none of them could take a bell, only to be proven wrong when both Sakura and Naruto pulled a bell from out of their pouches, and when Kakashi checked the bells that were supposed to be attached to his belt, he found that neither of them were there. When he asked when they had gotten them, Naruto said that he had kept one the first time and took the other during his transformed confrontation.
Kakashi raised an eyebrow at this and then revised his speech, stating that since Sasuke didn't get a bell then he should be dropped according to the original rules but that he would be given another chance. Kakashi said that he would go get another bell, and Sasuke would be tied to a vertical log that was in the training ground and while Sakura and Naruto were allowed to eat the lunches that were prepared, Sasuke was not.
When Kakashi finally left, Naruto took his lunchbox and stood before Sasuke grinning wildly. "Alright Sasuke-chan, now that Kakashi isn't here you need to get your strength up so I'm going to tortu…, I mean, feed you the lunch that was given to me." When Naruto finished Speaking, he shoved a small amount of the rice from the lunchbox into Sasuke's mouth that had opened to protest. This continued for a few minutes when the sky seemingly darkened, and Kakashi appeared in the field with a seemingly murderous look on his face, he demanded to know why Naruto had disobeyed the order that had been given. Naruto smirked and shoved some more food into Sasuke's mouth before turning to Kakashi, stating that the test wasn't about skill or abilities but rather their ability to work together as a team.
This gave Kakashi reason to pass the team letting them know that they were the first team that he ever passed. Kakashi headed over to a stone that was had a diamond shape slanted on the side, when asked by Sakura as to what the stone was, Kakashi told them that it was to remember the ninja who had died on the battlefield. After telling the three his favourite saying, 'Those who break the rules are trash, but those who abandon their comrades are lower than trash' The words struck a chord within Naruto, hoping that there were more in Konoha that followed a similar code of conduct.
The next day Team 7 would be getting their first missions, and their first taste at what being a real ninja is like.
:::Author's Note:::
Notes:
(1) Think one part Anko, one part Hinata, and completely sexy. though the shoes are like what she wears in the shippuden arc (or just simply tsunade's shoes
(2) it means girl with a chan honorific attached
(3) I flipped a coin here to see whether i would have Mikoto moaning or crying, the result was as you can read, but if you want a lemon Omake based on what the alternative would have been like, put it in a review
Now i would also like to point out that although i have a vague idea of where i am leading this story, most of the content comes from the instant i start writing.
Technique List:
Illusion Blade Technique:
-Class: Genjutsu
-Rank: D
-Range: Short
-Creates a purple blade with an ephemeral appearance, the illusion can be used to 'cut' and the shock of these non-existent cuts can cause mental overload, resulting in fainting and even heart failure.
Allure of Unbroken Shallow Sleep:
-Class: Genjutsu
-Rank: C
-Range: Short - Medium
-Forces the victim into a shallow sleep that they cannot be awoken from until the technique passes or is cancelled. The shallow sleep prevents any rest from being gained while under the effects of the technique
Siren Transformation:
-Class: Genjutsu
-Rank: B - S
-Range: Short - Medium
-The transformation is based on the E rank Genjutsu learnt in the academy, however, this illusion is heavily tilted towards the perfect and ideal woman. When the technique is performed the initial effect is to startle the enemy, and should the enemy be a straight male then seduction is the succeeding effects start to taken place. The secondary effect draws the complete attention of the victim to the transformed person, while the secondary effect is taking place, should the transformed caster of the illusion speak, all conscious and most unnecessary unconscious mental faculties are disrupted, resulting in a temporary vegetative state.
-Naruto's version is based off the first meeting description of Kurama's human form. The design of the technique is based off the Sexy technique (oiroke no jutsu) of the canon Naruto.
Now, ofr the next chapter, it will be the entire mission to wave, also Haku will be brought back, so give me a shout out to whether you want Haku as a boy or as a girl.
Now before i go, i just want to say one last thing, because i want to see at least 10 more reviews before i even think about posting another chapter, 20 or more reviews will give me the energy needed to make an update earlier, and 30 or more will see another update soon after, though it will require some input from you to help me give it some body.
anyways, i've said what i had to now i'm outta here.
