The Tale of Naruto Namikaze
Chapter Three - Nose Bleed?
-Konoha Park-
As Naruto walked into Konoha's park after saying goodbye to his companions, he takes his headband off and sits on a park bench in deep thought. 'All this time travel stuff is confusing' Naruto thought 'Hey Kurama?' Naruto said in his mind, not getting a reply, 'I guess Kurama's gone since we travelled back in time' Naruto sighed sadly remembering all the hardships Kurama and him went through but in the end they became friends with an unbreakable bond. Naruto held back a tear remembering when he conquered Kurama and gained his respect and trust.
'He wouldn't want to see me like this, he'd probably yell at me for acting like a softie' Naruto thought with a soft chuckle escaping his lips. Naruto put his headband in his ninja pouch before starting to get up so he could leave, but a voice stopped him, "Hey Naruto, what's got you so down?" said the voice of Mikoto Uchiha, Naruto looked at her before saying "Just thinking about something from the past", before sighing softly. 'Or somebody' Mikoto thought while looking at the boy, thinking of ways she could help Minato's little brother out.
"Hey Naruto how about we get some ramen I'll pay" Mikoto said knowing Naruto loved ramen, quicker than Mikoto could blink she was being dragged to the Ramen Stand. Digging the heel of her sandals into the ground Mikoto glared at Naruto for pulling her like that, Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly before opening the curtains to the Ramen Stand holding the curtain open for Mikoto who went ahead and picked a seat for the two of them.
"Hello, Welcome to Ichiraku Ramen, how may I help you" Said Ichiraku, while smiling at the two. "Four bowls of pork ramen!" Naruto said to the chef who nodded while turning the Mikoto awaiting her answer. "I would like one bowl of beef ramen" Mikoto said while putting the menu down. "Coming right up" said Ichiraku while walking behind the counter to prepare the ramen.
"So Naruto do you want to talk about the things that have been bothering you?" Mikoto asked looking Naruto into his eyes. Naruto flinched the tiniest bit before gaining his posture but the flinch didn't seem to go unnoticed because Mikoto, raised a delicate eyebrow at him.
'Damm she's hot' Naruto thought while blushing and turning his face away from her. Mikoto smirked at this before walking to his side of the table coming close to his face before putting her lips very closely to his ear. 'Like what you see, Na-ru-to-kun?" Mikoto whispered sensually into his ear smiling wickedly before laughing as Naruto passed out from a nose bleed, which happened to be at a very inconvenient time because the Ramen Chef was right there with a camera while laughing along with Mikoto.
Mikoto paid for the meal even if she didn't eat, before she picked Naruto up and carried him to where she knew Minato and Kushina lived, as Mikoto walked down the dirt paths she studied Naruto's features, from his unique blonde hair that he and Minato had, to his whisker marks, she thought about petting them before thinking that would be weird.
-Minato and Kushina's apartment-
Knocking on the door, Mikoto stepped back while waiting for either Minato or Kushina to open the door, in which the latter had opened it.
Kushina unlocked and opened the door, for Mikoto and Naruto since she felt their chakra signatures before she even came to the door, but what she was not expecting was a Smirking Mikoto holding Naruto with tissues in his nose which seemed to have blood stained onto it.
"What happened?" Kushina asked her best friend, while motioning to her form which was carrying Naruto bridal style. Mikoto ignored Kushina's question choosing to walk inside the apartment, sitting Naruto on the couch gently.
Mikoto turned around seeing Kushina staring at her with a question mark above her head, Mikoto smirked before saying "He couldn't withstand my beauty" before flipping her hair dramatically, 'Sureeeee' Kushina thought while looking at her raven haired best friend.
Minato chose this time to walk in the room before asking Mikoto the same question Kushina asked, "Well, I saw him looking all sad at the park, so I took him out for ramen before he started blushing while looking at me so I walked over to him and whispered at few things in his ears before he passed out from nose bleed" Mikoto said while laughing replaying the scene over and over in her head.
Minato face faulted before getting up and looking at Naruto while smiling 'Seems like my little brothers got a crush hehe' Minato thought while chuckling and turning to the two females. "Well, I am going to take him to his room and finish up on dinner" Minato exclaimed before picking Naruto up taking him to his room before laying him down on his bed.
-The Next Day-
Naruto flinched feeling the rays of sunlight hitting his eyes, groaning he reluctantly got up from bed and headed into the bathroom doing all his daily ritual such as, showering, brushing his teeth, using the bathroom, putting on his ninja outfit, and taking a look at himself in the mirror before heading to the kitchen, knowing Minato would be making breakfast right now.
"Good morning Naruto-KUN" Minato said with a mischievous grin on his face, before Naruto could reply Kushina made her presence known with her own mischievous grin before saying "Have fun last night with your girlfriend, Naruto-KUNNN", Naruto froze while replaying last night's events before turning bright red blushing up a storm. "Hey!" Naruto exclaimed while blushing so hard it would put a certain Hyūga to shame. Minato and Kushina laughed at Naruto's misfortune before Minato stopped laughing and gained a serious expression on his face.
"All joking aside, Naruto, Lord Hokage wants to see you immediately in his officer so you can be put on a squad." Minato looked into Naruto's eyes who in turn looked right back into his. Naruto nodded before disappearing in a swirl of wind.
-Hokage's Office-
After checking in with the secretary, Naruto walked into the Hokage officer noticing the other occupants in the room, Sakumo Hatake, The White Fang of The Leaf village, Naruto knew about this man from his sensei Kakashi Hatake, from what Naruto remembered this man was Kakashi's father aswell as a man who could rival the Sannin in terms of strength, he also saw Mikoto Uchiha, and Hizashi Hyūga.
Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by the Third Hokage coughing into his hand to get the attention of the occupants of the room, after successfully doing so, he said "Alright, let's get right down to business, Naruto you will be put on Team 5, with your chakra nature's and kenjutsu skill, Sakumo would be an amazing sensei for you." Hiruzen said while motioning for Sakumo to continue.
"Ah right, Lord Hokage has told me of your skill and we think we can grasp your skills and improve upon them aswell as working with an Uchiha and Hyūga, would improve your skill greatly." Sakumo said while motioning for the two to introduce themselves. "Hello, I'm Hizashi Hyūga." Hizashi said while stepping back so Mikoto can introduce herself, "We already know each other but, Im Mikoto Uchiha if you somehow forgot" Mikoto said while winking at Naruto, who blushed a light shade of pink before shaking it off. Coughing slightly, Naruto introduced himself to his new team, "Hello, Im Naruto Namikaze, I hope we can become great friends!"
