LOVE LIFE DREAM
I have this bad cough lodged in my thoat so not I sound like Hayate, you know the sick Konoha-nin who was supposed to be the third exam proctor. Speak some, cough, speak some, cough.
Anyways this is part two of Re-meeting the teams cause the first part was too long and I didn't think someone would want to read an extra long chapter to this story.
Sadly I don't own the show or manga Naruto.
Don't worry the story will unfold to you in time
Re-meeting the teams
Act 2
"Hungry?" I asked.
"Starved!" all three genin exclaimed
We headed towards the Korean Bar-b-q on one of the main streets. We found the place not entirely crowded but not barren and empty.
"Cool! I haven't had Kalbi in weeks! No months! Mom couldn't make it for me cause the kitchen was up stairs and we didn't have a stair lift installed yes and WOW!" I rambled on. Sakura and Sasuke were giving me stares as if I had lost my mind.
"Yo! Kakashi!" Asuma waved over at us. With him was his genin team, Shikamaru the lazy genious, Ino a Sasuke Uchiha fan (he-he Uchiha/Uchiwa= Fan in Japanese), Choji the ahem...husky one that eats a lot.
"Yo team 8" I waved. Asuma's eyes almost popped out at the sight.
"Is something wrong?" I asked him as we made our way over to the table next to them.
"I thought Misaki hated Kakashi to the bone" Asuma inquired.
"I know but we just decided not to question" Sasuke replied for everyone else.
"he gained my respect from the last mission and I have amnesia so I don't know why I hated him and if it was for a viable reason" I said picking up a piece of meat from the grill.
"well you hated him because you said he was a pervert always reading those book and because he was always a lazy ass that was always late to everything" Shikamaru replied to my words easily.
"now that you mention it….Kakashi give me that book! I want to know what it's about and you always have your nose in it" I said grabbing for his pouch.
"Whoa!" Kakashi said standing up "What are you doing?" he asked.
"going in your weapons pouch and taking out your book….don't worry I won't steal your wallet, you should know me better than that!" I said peeved at what he was probably intentioning.
"No I'm just saying that…never mind you -sigh- here's the book and you'll probably hate me again after so just to be on the safe side I'll stay over here" Kakashi said tossing me the book and walking over to Asuma and sitting behind him.
I raised a brow in question and opened the book from the start. I started to read and noticed it was a love/smut/angst book. "Ha ha ha!" I started to laugh as I finished the second chapter.
"what's wrong?" Asuma asked.
"nothing just that I can't believe I was mad about something like this! Nay this is completely normal for a, what 26 year old guy?" I asked.
"25 years old" Kakashi corrected.
"Ten years older than me eh?" I asked.
"ten years your senior you should call me senpai" Kakashi said climbing out of the seat.
"yea cept' by brain age you're probably Shikamaru's kohei (junior)" I said smirking.
"just eat!" Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto yelled.
"but it's not all cooked yet" I said looking at the half cooked meat.
"then do something other than flirting with each other! It's kind of sickening to watch our teacher and senpai/student teacher flirt." Sasuke scrunched up his brows annoyed.
"i don't flirt...at the least I don't think I do" I said scratching my cheek.
"maybe you should get your training early" Asuma suggested.
"what training?" I was curious on what this training might be about.
"only some Kunoichi can go through this training and pass. Also you need to be mentally and physically strong" Asuma said adding to my curiosity and excitement.
"wow! Ok now I really want to know" I said.
"Training in the art of..." Asuma paused for dramatic effect.
"art of?" I repeated.
"The art of...Seduction" he finished. MY jaw dropped as Kakashi started to chuckle a bit, whether it was due to my reaction or to Asuma's answer I didn't know. Grabbing the hilt of my short Katana and standing up I slowly unsheathed it horizontally from my lower back. (like how Sasuke shippuden carries his short Katana.)
"DIE!" I growled lowly staring daggers at the troubled sensei of team 8.
"Wait! Sorry but all Kunoichi have to take this training at the age of 16! That is if the hokage and the special jounin in charge selects you" Asuma raised his hands shaking his head showing innocence.
I slumped back down and sighed "if I have to, I will."
"we can have you tested at the hospital this evening" Kakashi said placing some meat on his plate.
"sure and you can start to pray that I won't rip your guts out if they say I have to take it" I said nicely though a dark aura surrounded me menacingly.
"heh heh" everyone sweat dropped as I turned my attention back to the meat and started to pile on piece after piece.
"isn't that a bit too much?" Ino asked "normally you don't eat so much at once"
"Well we're all shinobi and we could die at any time so why not make the most of what you have when you have it? Plus I need my energy if I'm going to go though that stats test soon" I said wrapping a piece of meat in lettuce and stuffing it in my mouth.
"And you lost your feminine touch" Choji observed.
"People change after amnesia and I doubt I'll get my memory back honey; cause I like living this way" I said batting my lashes half heartedly.
"well lets hurry cause the hospital will close at 10pm" Kakashi said.
"it's only like what...5pm?" I guessed seeing as I didn't carry a clock in this world.
"no it's 7pm and the stats testing and all the other things will take a long time" Asuma said pointing to the wall clock over near the counter.
"Holy shit! Where does the time go?" I asked and hurriedly finished my plate. "Kakashi give me the book while I wait for you to finish" I said opening my hand.
"Little girls shouldn't be reading this kind of stuff" he said.
"Don't worry I skip those parts plus it is kind of funny how the main character and the heroine are always..." Kakashi stopped me.
"i haven't read it yet" he stressed as he got me to shut up.
"Fine if you're so stingy I'll go and see if they have the newspaper here" got up and left to the door where they had magazines and other reading material.
I came back with a magazine on medical-nin and products when I asked "where do I go for my Iryo-nin (Medical-nin) supplies?"
"Either the hospital pharmacy or the local medicinal shops around Konoha" Kakashi answered his plate clean.
The three genin were fighting over the meat. Naruto and Sasuke were having some sort of contest I didn't bother to know more about and Sakura was watching Sasuke with heart filled eyes.
No wonder they never see Kakashi's face when they eat I thought sweat dropping.
After another half hour
"Let's go to the hospital now, you three can come along too and get your stats checked as well" Kakashi said after paying at the counter.
"Bye team 8" I said waving at the genin team I "re-met". They waved back as we slipped out the door chasing after the uncaring jounin.
"Wow the hospital is huge!" I breathed as the giant expanse of brick walls were in my sight.
"Saki-nee, you always come here so try to keep your Awe inside your head" Naruto whispered. Seeing as Kakashi and Naruto were the only ones who knew I was well not Misaki but Misaki they had to keep warning me.
"Sorry...where are we going?" I asked in a whisper.
"We're going to that building" Kakashi pointed to the west wing of the hospital.
"why?" I asked wondering why that building section was so special and why we couldn't just go in though the front.
"It is the rehabilitation/mental health center" he answered starting to walk towards the west wing.
"oh...i damn hope you know what the hell you are doing" I sighed as we followed the jounin.
"I do...probably" he answered in a straight forward way.
"Great...they might think I'm a mental hospital ward" I growled under my breath.
"you kind of are seeing as you lost almost all your memories" Sasuke pointed out bluntly.
"true true" I agreed not really thinking. Everyone started to chuckle as I understood what I just said. "HEY!" I yelled turning on Sasuke.
"What you're the one who agreed" Sasuke said shrugging.
"What ever" I hissed as turned back towards the west wing.
We finally entered the building to find it very...bland. Yes bland, boring! The walls were white, the floor was tiled the ceiling was well normal.
"nurse? Yes we need to speak to a person who can help us with her amnesia, also to check her/our stats and we need to set an appointment with the special jounin who is in charge of the art of seduction for her test" Kakashi practically laid the whole plan out.
"Misaki-san can you please write you name here and Kakashi-san please sign here" the nurse said holding out the paper. I read it over once and frowned.
"Kakashi here is soo not going to be my guardien" I growled.
"i'm sorry but this is only nessisary so if something happens we know who to call to get you" the nurse said kindly.
"fine" I sighed and took the pencil and scribbled my name down.
"Now what is your name?" the doctor asked.
"MISAKI KEN, sheesh I have amnesia, I'm not brain dead!" I retorted to his stupid questions.
"Yes and your occupation?" he asked again ignoring my barbed comment.
"I'm the hokage" I said; sarcasm dripping from my tongue like venom.
"Will you please answer that again" the doctor said keeping calm.
"I'm a chunin and an unregistered Iryo-nin" I answered smoothly.
"Good what do you see here?"the doctor pulled out a white paper with a blob in the center.
"A blob…." I answered getting annoyed. The doctor looked at me as if I was an idiot "fine ….blood?" I answered a bit more seriously.
The doctor looked at the blob questioningly. Even the genins and Kakashi stared intently at it.
""if you paint the blob red then it looks like a splash of blood." I told them and they nodded with my reasoning.
"this?" the doctor pulled out another sign.
I stared at the blob shape for a long time….strangely it reminded me of Deidara's birds and thus Deidara popped up in my mind.
"Deidara…un" I added the un cause I just had to.
"and who is that?" the doctor asked.
" He's a …hot-headed blond and also a mad-bomber…..oh and he loves art and respects any kind of art even if it doesn't fit with his philosophy…. And he looks like a girl from afar." I added as it was true.
"Oookkkaayyy" the doctor nodded scribbling things on a piece of paper and handing it to Kakashi.
"this is it for today…come back for a check-up in three weeks" the Doctor said waving us out.
"gee thanks DOC" I said leaving quickly.
"To the stats testing" Naruto said pointing down the wrong hall.
"this way Naruto" Kakashi said pointing to the other direction.
"both are wrong it is this way" I said pointing down the middle hall.
"I thought you didn't know anything about the hospital cause of your seviere amniesia." Sasuke said with suspicion.
"There is a map right here Dofus" I said pointing to the hospital map next to me on the wall.
"oh…" everyone sweat dropped as I lead them down the hall. It was the fourth door to the left. Opening the door I found Kurenai and her team already inside.
"oh sorry" I said opening the door fully.
"Misaki-chan? How are you? I heard you have amnesia" Kurenai said walking up.
"Fine actually we are here to get our stats test" I told her.
"we're just done, Hinata just has to go." Kurenai said letting everyone else in.
"we'll wait then unless you want us outside" I said twitching my head towards the blond boy.
Kurenai caught what I was trying to say "no, it'll be fine" she said as we all sat down. Hinata entered a large room with glass walls and an inspector inside.
"So what did you get Kiba?" I asked peeking over.
"Eh, not much seeing as I always ditched class" Kiba said showing me the slip of paper.
"Ninjutsu= 1.5, Taijutsu= 2.5, Genjutsu= 0.5, Intelligence= 1, Strength= 2.5, Speed= 3.5, Stanima= 1.5, Seals= 1.5, Total= 14.5." I read quietly. "bet you have more strength than me" I said handing the paper back.
"REALLY?" Naruto ripped the paper from Kiba's hands.
"HEY!" Kiba yelled trying to grab it back.
"Guys! Be quiet Hinata is getting her test!" Kurenai said hitting them both upside the head.
Naruto and Kiba went off to a corner to smart their hurts.
Hinata came back out after a while, I could see some of the things she had to do and it didn't look fun at all.
"Hey Hinata!" I called waving.
"H-Hi M-misaki-san" she waved back shyly and blushed when she saw Naruto.
"just call me Misaki or Saki. The three Idiots seem to be able to call me that, why not anyone else?" I said patting Kiba who was on my right, Sasuke who was to my left and Naruto was in front- in a Kakashi style way (like the team photo.)
"IN" Kakashi said practically dragging me to the glass cage and throwing me in.
"Stand still" the inspector said.
"Hai" I said after giving Kakashi a whithering death glare.
The inspector was a girl and she seemed kind.
"I'm going to first measure your max chakra level so hold still." she said flipping to a new page in her note book.
The measurement consisted of pouring out my chakra into a metal rod which was connected to a machine. It read 3 on a scale of five.
"Good" the inspector...(let's call her U-chan cause Inspector is too long) said writing something down "now when I say run to that corner to that corner to that corner..." U-chan said pointing to the five corners in the room. Yes the room was a pentagon shape.
"GO!" U-chan said and I ran. No I sprinted across the room, I knew I was pretty slow compared to the standards of a shinobi.
When I finished I waited for the next order.
"now lift these things" U-chan handed me a couple weights that felt light.
"One" u-chan said and suddenly the weights felt 15lb on each.
There was a five second lapse in time before it doubled and a bit more to weigh about 45lb on each. And so on it went will I had to give up on 112lb on each.
Next was intelligence testing where I had to pick out the best strategy in 30 sec.
Scenario: shinobi from another country attack you and your team while on a mission to retrieve a hidden scroll from the fire temple. They surround you, there are 6 shinobi chunun level and your team is made up of yourself, and three genin. One genin is a hyuuga, one is a medical/sensory nin, the last is a genjutsu type.
Strategy:
retreat and report failed mission.
Charge in and try to disable all 6 shinobi.
Protect the medical-nin of the group and then charge in alone.
Protect the genjutsu type and charge in alone
protects the Hyuuga and charge in alone
die
protect the medical nin and have the genjutsu type put eveyone in a genjutsu and pick them off like flies.
Have Hyuuga use their Kekki genkai on enemy
place genin in safe place.
Scream
Write your own in space provided. _
I read the paper and asked for a pencil. As my answer I wrote my own strategy which read.
Have Genjutsu type protect Medic nin using genjutsu to trap anyone near and Medic-nin can kill them while they are trapped in genjutsu. Hyuuga and myself would fight the other shinobi. Hyuuga using gentle fist to damage their chakra coils and to inflict possible fatal damage. Myself using what I can, if all else fails have genin head back or to temple alone depending on how important the mission is and I will stay and try to kill off the enemy.
U-chan read it and nodded writing something down. I had to do that test of intel again but this time it was telling what from what. Example would be, looking at two pictures and finding the differences...sound familiar?
Then it was seals time. I had to memorize two seal orders in a minute and also recite them correctly and accurately and swiftly. I have to say though I was pretty good.
Next was Taijutsu, this I was pretty confident in since I took Tae Kwon Do in my world and had a blackbelt. I had to fight U-chan for a while. It took all I had cause she was coming to me with killing intent. Of course she landed a few blows on me but that doesn't mean I didn't. I got her in the gut enough times to make her barf at least twice.
I was going in for a roundhouse when she disappeared and appeared behind me. I dropped to my hands as she came in for a punch and flipped her by kicking her in the chest.
Next was genjutsu...let's just say it's not my forte.
"it seems you don't know any genjutsu so I'll show you one, it is Demonic Illusion: Hell viewing technique, it is made up from the signs Snake then Rat ok?" U-chan said showing me the hand signs.
"one question, when I'm trapped is there a possibility that I will oh say a person's name?" I asked.
"yes there is a possibility" U-chan replied "only if you say something in the genjutsu."
"Ok, are the glass walls sound proof?" I asked again.
"yes"
"then what I say in here stays in here ok?" I begged not knowing what I might actually say.
"sure, it's safe in here" U-chan said starting the genjutsu.
I felt like opening my eye for the first time. It was blurry and all I saw was a broken down building that was familiar.
Oh I know what this is I said to myself looking around. Then I saw it, it was the last final moments of Itachi's life.
"I-" I stopped myself short; I've seen this already now just break from this. I scolded my self.
"Build up the chakra then release all my chakra then build it back up again...KAI" I said concentrating, my hands in a half ram.
I opened my eyes to see I was back in the glass room.
"YOSH! I did it!" I laughed lightly.
"good now try to cast the same one on me" U-chan said.
"ok" I made my signs and started the genjutsu. U-chan seemed to be in a dream like state. It lasted only a few seconds as U-chan came out of the spell.
"Nice but less than average" U-chan said writing more things down on the paper she held.
"Now Ninjutsu…I heard you knew some so I want you to recite all those you can remember."
"OK" I did my hand signs for the grand fireball jutsu. I breathed in and I shot out a big ball of fire that filled the room.
"ok….funny it said here on your previous records you had no talent in ninjutsu and your nature affinity was Lightning and Earth" U-chan frowned.
"he-he really?" I asked scratching the back of my head feigning innocence.
"do another jutsu" U-chan said
This time I did a chidori.
"strange" U-chan said.
"what now?" I asked.
"Chidori is an A-rank jutsu not to mention only Kakashi knows it"
"Well I was on a mission with him for about a week and I've watched him do the jutsu enough times already" I added trying to cover up any mistakes.
"Still to be able to read movements that fast you need a sharingan…wait I want you to watch what I do and follow along, the first one is going to be short" U-chan said starting with some hand seals. I followed with ease as she wasn't going that fast.
Then U-chan went faster, I followed till I found a pattern in her movements. Every time she was going to make a boar sign she always tilted the last hand sign forward a bit, every time a snake was coming she kept her fingers close, as for rat and ram signs she kept her arms sticking out like chicken wings and so on. Soon I was following her movements just as fast without delay. (Before someone says Oh this is so Mary-sue, there are actually people with fast brain action and eye movement to catch things like this)
It went on till U-chan stopped. "Ok I'll tell you this, you improved a lot…I don't know what kind of training you did but you improved tremendously here your score card" she handed me my slip of paper and I left the glass room and found myself met with surprised glances…
"Surprise!" I said with a fake smile.
