6th chapter is up!

Now, I know that Sasuke was a very 1000% a-hole here...hey, what the hell? He just had a traumatic experience from the massacre...after all, who wouldn't want to revive their clan...but his is a very pathetic one...I mean, copying moves? That is one Kekkei Genkai that is cheating! Anyway, I would like to say 'sorry' to all those Sasuke fans and to those who think that Sasuke is a 1000% a-hole, and 'welcome to the third chapter!'

Chapter 6: Meetings and Teams

Naruto spent the remaining days of the year visiting various places...namely, The Hokage Tower, and Ichiraku's Ramen. Anyway, if he was done doing...business with the latter and talks with the former, he would wander around Konoha, looking for something to do.

On the last day of freedom before the team placements, he found himself totally bored. He just finished eating lunch at Ichiraku's, his appointment with the Hokage would still take, at least, 3 hours before he could meet him. Oh, what would Naruto-chan do?

"Hmm, maybe you could visit Hiashi at the Hyuuga Compound?" Minato suggested. "I'm sure, his daughter, too, would be bored."

Very funny, otou-san. Naruto thought.

"No, really. I'm sure he wouldn't disagree."

Are you sure?

"Of course, I'm sure! Besides, I'm sure her uncle would want to meet her niece's savior." Minato smiled.

Pfft, fine.

Naruto went to the Hyuuga Compound, thinking 'this better not be a bad time.' over and over again.

Naruto stopped at the door of the Hyuuga Compound. He looked at the guards. They looked back..though, without the usual glares he received when he was younger.

"Uhh...may I see Hiashi-sama?" Naruto asked, nervously.

The guard on the left nodded and said, "Of course, but do not cause problems to him or the council or you will be forced to leave and never return."

Naruto nodded in affirmation. "I see, thank you very much, Hyuuga-san." Naruto bowed and went inside. The L-Guard looked at the R-Guard.

"Well, it seems things are about to get interesting, eh, Hieba?" The L-Guard asked.

The R-Guard, now known as Hieba, shrugged and said, "Indeed, it will, Niaro, indeed, it will." They both returned to their posts.

Hiashi was in his study, dealing with...his usual stuff, hey, I don't know what he does in his study...he may be doing paperwork or checking the attendance of the Hyuuga Clan Members, or something. Anyway, he heard a knock on the door. He looked up.

"Enter." The door opened and in walked Naruto. "Ah, Naruto, what can I do for you? Though it seems I can do little, due to the work I have here." Hiashi looked down and continued his work.

Naruto looked pencil-eyed. "Well, why didn't you do Kage Bunsins?"

"Well, I tried, but those council members wanted me to work on it, personally." Hiashi sighed. "So, what can I do for you?"

"Well, I would like to meet your daughter, Hiashi-sama, if it is permitted, of course." Naruto suggested, respectfully.

"I don't see why not, Naruto. In fact, Hitomi-hime is about to go here and bring me my tea. She will be around here shortly." Naruto nodded and waited. After a few minutes, a knock was heard.

"Ah, here she is now. Enter." Hiashi said. The door opened and in came Hitomi carrying a tray with a teapot and teacups. "Ah, Hitomi-hime, thank you." He accepted the tea.

"Anytime, Hiashi-kun." Hitomi noticed Naruto. "Ah, Naruto-kun! What are you doing here?" She asked. Naruto smiled, and scratched the back of his head.

"W-well, Hitomi-sama, I was hoping to visit your daughter and see if she is alright." Naruto thought of something. "Also, I was bored, so I came here to play with her." A sweatdrop was shown on Hiashi's and Hitomi's heads.

"Very well, Naruto-kun. Come with me and I'll lead you to where she is." She left. Naruto bowed low to Hiashi and left, as well.

Naruto exited the compound and entered the playground and saw Hinata, with Hanabi, a Hyuuga couple, and, what he assumed as their son, a young male Hyuuga. The couple, along with their son, greeted Hitomi. She greeted them, too, before letting Naruto greet himself.

"Greetings, Hyuuga-sama. I am Uzumaki Naruto. Pleased to make your acquaintance." Naruto bowed.

Hitomi introduced them to Naruto. "Naruto-kun, this is Hyuuga Hizashi, Hiashi-kun's younger brother," she said, while pointing at the male Hyuuga, who nodded. She continued, "this is his wife, Hyuuga Hikari," the said woman nodded her head, "and this is their son, Hyuuga Neji." She finished, pointing at Neji, who nodded, though a bit more reluctantly.

"Well, hello." Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Well, um...uh..." Naruto don't know what to say.

Hitomi answered for him. "He wanted to play with Hinata-chan and Hanabi-chan." Hizashi nodded.

"Very well." Naruto still looked embarrassed.

"Um...could I also play with...y-your s-son?" Naruto asked nervously. The others looked at him, wide-eyed. He wanted a Branch Family member to play with him with the heiresses of the Main Family?

"Um, I'm not sure that is..."

"Please? It makes me feel sad that another kid is not having fun while the others are." Naruto asked, well, technically, begged, with the infamous Puppy-Dog-Eye-no-Jutsu. Hizashi laughed.

"Well, it seems your kindness knows no bounds, Naruto-san. But the choice is not up to me, however." Hizashi suddenly took a serious expression. "It is my son's." All looked at Neji.

"We...well...I supposed it couldn't hurt to play a little." Neji said, though it seems he was embarrassed by it.

"Okay! Let's go!" Naruto grabbed Neji by the arm and went off to the girls.

"So, that is him, then?" Hizashi asked. Hitomi looked at him.

"He is who?" She asked.

"The you-know-who..." Hizashi replied, making Hitomi look wide-eyed.

"Y-you know?"

"Of course, why else would he visit us if he wasn't the one who did it?" Hizashi made his point. "I saw him at the kidnapping. If he wasn't at the kidnapping, why would he be here? Surely, not for a family reunion...since, none of his relatives were Hyuuga."

"I see. Have you told anyone yet?" Hitomi asked.

"Well, besides Hikari-chan, no one. I would trust her to keep her word to not tell anyone, even her closest friends. Neji is too young to realize the importance of that information. If I'm correct, then, Hiashi-nii-san, you, Hikari-chan, and I only know of this in the Hyuuga clan. Besides us, Hokage-sama knows, too." Hitomi nodded in response.

"Thank you for your secrecy, Hizashi-kun."

"Thanks is not needed, Hitomi-sama." Hizashi replied. Hitomi looked at him. It reminded her of what Naruto said when she was thanking him. 'Thanks is not needed, Lady Hyuuga.' It was almost identical. If not for the difference of the speaker, his clothing, everything else, including the bold text.

"Thank you, anyway." She said.

Naruto stopped in front of the heiresses, while still holding Neji. "Hey, can we play with you?" Naruto asked.

Hinata and Hanabi looked at him. Hinata nodded, "Hai, uh..."

"Uzumaki Naruto, nice to meet'cha!" Naruto held out his other hand. Hinata took it and shook it. "I'm Hyuuga Hinata and this is my imouto, Hyuuga Hanabi." She motioned for her younger sister.

"Nice to meet'cha, Hanabi-san!" Naruto held out his hand, while giving off his foxy grin, making Hinata go red.

H-his smile! It-it's too c-cute! Her train of thought went overtime as she continued to process of remembering that grin.

"Oi, Hinata-san." A voice said. She got out of her train of thoughts to see Naruto looking at her, while waving a hand in front of her. "Oh, good, you're back. You have been spaced out for a while now."

"I-I have?" She asked.

"Well, of course, I asked 'what would you want to play?' Hanabi-san, and Neji-san said that it was up to you. So, I asked you, but you didn't answer. So, I checked up on you." Naruto retold it.

"Well, I don't know much games, Naruto-kun." Hinata confessed.

"You don't? Oh, well, maybe we could train? Yes! Maybe we could do that! Since the academy will start soon!" Naruto suggested. He, then, turned to Neji. "Would you want to train with us, Neji-san?"

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt a bit." Neji replied.

For the past 2 hours, they spent it training for the exams the day after this. When they worked enough sweat, Naruto turned to Neji.

"Ne, Neji-san, why don't you spend some time with your cousin?"

He replied. "Because, it is against the Hyuuga laws. A Branch Family Member cannot make a conversation with a Main Family Member, unless if it is necessary, or if it is ordered of me."

"Well, that's pretty weird, no offense meant." Naruto quickly said.

"None taken, Naruto-san. In fact, I..." Neji trailed off.

"What?"

"Nothing...it's unimportant..."

"Hmm...come on, you can tell me." Naruto persisted.

"It's not important, Naruto-san." Neji persisted back.

"Hey...come on...don't have to be so stiffy." Naruto joked. "Anyway, spend some time with Hinata-san or Hanabi-san or their parents, at least, two times a day or something. You might enjoy it." He suggested.

"I'll think about it." Neji said. He may not like the Main Family for giving him the seal but it might be worth it.

"Naruto-kun?" Hitomi's voice said. Everyone looked at her. "Hokage-sama is here, saying that it is important."

Something clicked in Naruto's mind. "Ah! I forgot! I'm supposed to talk with him!" He suddenly ran towards the door to go to the Tower, but the Sandaime was already inside the compound.

"Do not fret about it, Naruto-kun." The Sandaime patted him on the head.

"Ah! Jii-san!" Naruto said.

"Come, Naruto-kun, we have much to discuss." He replied and they disappeared with a shunshin, leaving the Hyuuga clan members alone.

"So, uh, what do we do now?" Hizashi asked.

"We watch them play again." Hitomi replied, smiling. Sure enough, the remaining three playmates played to their heart's content.

The Sandaime appeared in his office with Naruto, in tow. Naruto saw Sandaime clones doing his paperwork, while the original sat in his sofa.

"Please, sit, Naruto-kun." He beckoned. Naruto complied. He sat on the seat opposite of his. "I apologize, Naruto-kun, if I had become too busy with the others, but they have been visiting every now and then." He apologized.

"Don't worry about it, ojii-san." Naruto waved it off. "Anyway, I would like to request something."

"Oh? And what would the request be?" He asked.

"I would like to be a one man team." Naruto replied.

"Huh? Why?" He asked back.

"Well, because, I need to be secret with my training." He reasoned. "Also, I noticed that the teams are off when the others graduated."

"Really? It seems Minato and Kushina taught you more than attacks, eh?" He laughed.

Naruto pouted. "Of course, ojii-san."

"Haha! Of course, they did." He laughed again. "But then again, you do make a point. But to be sure, I have to assess your skills." He suddenly became serious. "Show me, Naruto, your worth to be a one man team."

Naruto, also taking a serious expression, said, "Very well, Hokage-sama, let us go to a Training Ground."

"Very well, the most secluded training place is Training Ground 44, a.k.a. The Forest of Death."

"Very well, ikuzo (let's go)." They both shunshinned.

They appeared in the Forest of Death. They prepared themselves, like Naruto turning into his Lich King armor and the Sandaime changing into his battle armor, and they fought.

Naruto charged, while making handseals, "Ranmaton: Yousobetsushori Bakuha!" He breathed in air and released a spear of the five elements. The Sandaime made his own handseals and said, "Doton: Doryuheki!" A wall of earth appeared in front of him. The spear just broke through it and hit the Sandaime square in the chest, before turning into mud and went to join the earth below.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"Doton: Doryudan!" The Sandaime shouted from somewhere behind Naruto. He looked at his back to see a mud dragon speeding it's way towards him. In reflex, he made his handseals and said, "Ranmaton: Reza!" He breathed in some air and blew it, releasing a big laser beam towards the mud dragon. It hit the mud dragon and mud covered the area.

"Interesting, Naruto-kun." The Sandaime praised. "But it will need more than that to convince me." He made some handseals, "Katon: Karyu Endan!" He breathed in and out, and out came a fire dragon that split into three directions and attacked Naruto simultaneously.

Naruto reacted by using, "Akariton: Kami Tate(1)!" Naruto's body was covered in runes and it separated from his body and formed a dome above him. The fire dragon hit Naruto, but didn't damage him.

"Really interesting." He is beginning to prove himself. The Sandaime made some handseals and said, "Doton: Doryu Taiga!"

The ground beneath Naruto began to shift and it turned into a quicksand. "Urgh!" He was sent down until only half of his body was remaining. "Heh, not bad, ojii-san, but now, it's time to get serious." He activated his Uzugan. The ground beneath him shifted again. Naruto took that opportunity to jump out of it.

Hoh? It seems he is using his mother's Kekkei Genkai! "Very well, Naruto-kun," He made handseals and said, "Doton: Doryudan!" He released another mud dragon. This time, Naruto was prepared. First, he changed from Uzugan to Tekigan, then, made some handseals, and said, "Yamiton: Shi Koiru!" He held out his hand and a greenish skull was on it. He threw it at the dragon. It collided and the dragon became mud again. He made another set of handseals and said, "Akariton: Koubou!" He held out his palm and a beam of light exited it. It hit the Sandaime in the chest.

"Urgh!" He was sent back by the brute force of it. Once he stood up, he only saw a glimpse of what Naruto was doing when the said boy hit him.

"Ranmaton: Yousobetsushori Rasengan!" He rammed the Rasengan into the Sandaime's torso and it exploded.

The Sandaime awoke and saw Naruto healing him. "Hey, how long was I out?" He asked.

Naruto looked happy. "Ah! You're finally awake, ojii-san! Well, you were out for, at least, 30 minutes?" He said. "I don't know, I lost count."

"Anyway, Naruto-kun, you have impressed me enough." The Sandaime said.

"Really?" Naruto replied, with stars in his eyes.

"Yes, you will be a one man team as you requested." The Sandaime smiled as Naruto hugged him. Then... "Ow! My stomach!"

"Oh, hehe, that would be the effect of the Rasengan I slammed into you." Naruto scratched the back of his head. "Sumimasen, ojii-san."

"Don't worry about it, Naruto-kun. I'm sure it will heal, eventually."

"Thanks, ojii-san." Naruto helped the Sandaime stand up and they shunshinned into his office to officiate the 'one-man-teaming.'

There you have it! The new chapter!
