Chapter 18 Waves of Mist picking up a leaf

Waking up on the 21st day now in wave that was now protected by the mist rebellion that aimed to once stop the Mizukage now used the Land of Waves as a headquarters using Gato's unfinished mansion and using it for storage as the now empty rooms which the Villagers took to sell for money as they now imported fish they prospered in to others nearby gaining them Financially stabilize there situation.

Now after yesterday I woke up right on the couch of Tsunami's or old man's Tazuna's home I didn't really know who but it didn't matter as I looked up thinking this wasn't real as most things today or yesterday never really happened but I knew going off course for this thing was necessary for this in order to possibly save our Kage Hiruzen but to also connect with the Mist speaking of Mei was sitting in a seat in the Kitchen Table next to Asuma-Sensei who were chatting normally as Asuma-Sensei was even making her burst with chuckles sometimes as some of the times I saw them they both had blushes in there faces. I sighed it was nice seeing Asuma-Sensei like this but what about Kurenai-Sensei…ehh she's beautiful she could find someone definitely. Actually I have seen due to Sakura learning Genjutsu from Kurenai these last few months that her and Kakashi-Sensei have been getting closer…heh Kakashi… while I think both Asuma-Sensei and Kakashi-Sensei is what like 26? Yea I think they went to the academy together and I don't know how old Mei is…like…21 or sum.

I flip over to pretend to act like I'm not awake as I heard the dragging of a chair as I knew who did it it was.

"Asuma!" I yelled as he grabbed and shook me and I struggled in his grasp as I heard a separate voice laughing probably Mei who was very amused as I was certain most people were awake now.

"You can't laze yourself out of training I won't let you." I glared at him as he let me go and I turned to go back to sleep until he grabbed me again and through me over his shoulder as he was taking me outside.

"Mei…please this guy won't let me sleep!" I pleaded as I look at her and she covered her mouth modestly.

"Not like that!" I yelled as she giggles again as I was told to shut up by Asuma-Sensei who got me outside and with a bucket Mei filled with water splashed me in the face.

"Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die" I said monotonously as to get him to not hear me and blanks at how blatantly I was saying it.

"We'll beat we only have about what only a couple of days so now you're going to finish the training with the leaf as I know you can make it into fire." I cross my arms and looked away with a pout. Asuma-Sensei sighed as he went and summoned the weights and the block of wood he cut.

After training though I couldn't get the Block to fully explode like I wanted to as I used bursts like what I practiced on the leaf as the first exercise only needed you to make a small fire but I wanted to get some clues on how to do the block of wood and I am using burst of my Chakra to do it and right now I just lack control of my Chakra manipulation to make fire release. It wasn't as I needed it but it was useful like almost all skills I may know a bunch from my old life that my younger self did as I was so competitive when I was a kid like so competitive but I guess you could call it a boy thing but it's something I can't help it just fuels me to go beyond what I think my limits are and makes me think in different ways.

It's probably the adrenaline kicking in my body making me feel less than I actually do and I know that it's a feeling I'm still getting used to if you could even be used to adrenaline in yourself. It's just something that happens.

We walk into the village as a giant amount of tables we're set up in a part of town where there was a ton of space as me and Asuma-Sensei followed Mei and Haku who lead us to a table as she sat down I sat on one of the long sides only suitable for one person as Haku sat next to Mei and Asuma-Sensei sat across from here. We ate and discussed normal topics instead of the heated discussion or debates of most peoples ideals as I look around and see the multitude of people from the mist and villagers intermingle with each other.

"So how come you guys even went into the Land of Waves." Asuma-Sensei questioned as at first he had wondered why but now knowing this was for the Mist rebellion and not the Mist Village calmed his heart a bit knowing they weren't trespassing.

"Well I meet Haku not long after the time she said she split with you and I have been training with her as for now I level her to a actual low Jonin level now that this big girl actually isn't a stick anymore." Mei said as she patted Haku who I noticed has grown taller and she was now 16 apparently after my talk with her and I'm still 12…geez I didn't think there's was that much of a gap between us but ugh.

"After about a couple…2 months after getting constantly attacked we needed to escape and find a safe place and a Haku-Chan suggested here and the people have opened there arms to us and helped us and we help them so some people would like to stay and protect them though they also do know to keep there skills sharp if we ever need to call on them again." Mei said with a smile as she looks upon the Shinobi that had come under her after the old rebellion leader had given there lives to protect everyone and even trained Mei with all they could before dying leaving it in her hands and she took it and ran with it.

I look up at her as she look's contemplating on something or her entire life. It's one of those things as I look to Asuma-Sensei and he looks back to me and I nodded at him. He reached across the table and he patted her shoulder taking her mind off what happened and on him as he gave her a smile.

"Look around you all these people are happy because of you don't ever look like that again doesn't look good on you anyways." I smirk as a blush starts to slowly ruminate on the future Kage as she slowly looked away. "U-um thank you for that Asuma-San" she said as Asuma-Sensei just chuckled and waved his hand.

"Asuma's just fine Mei." He said as she slowly nodded and said his name. "Asuma." With a smile.

'Wow these two fell for each other fast…" I just spectate at these two lovebirds as I just feel like a third wheel…actually forth wheel as Haku's here as well as everyone with a brain avoided the situation and im just here as I sigh and smile and look away from the two.

'I know so many weird people.' I thought as I kept smiling even after the thoughts as they continued on with the people I've encountered now in these 6 months of arriving in this world. It is both a blessing and a curse but I choose to look at the positives then at the negatives like if your going to keep focusing on the negatives then you'll only feel sad and regret things and so on and so forth until you end up like someone like Madara or Obito. I look up and touch the sky feeling the humidity in the air and I close my eyes and focus on the fading silence as I open my eyes and clench my fist as I wore an unwavering smirk.

'Anything world, anything you throw at me I'll just surpass it!'

We all walk on our way back to Konoha on the end of the same day as I still wearing my weights walk with Asuma-Sensei leading us with slightly behind him is Mei wearing a mist headband tied around her waist like a sash with Haku next to me as we walked together in silence as I checked behind us to see an entire 2 platoons of Mist Shinobi which combined would be a total of 65 Shinobi plus the newly instated Mizukage Mei Terumi as back in the mist Aoi I heard did everything in need for her as everyone in the Mist knew of the woman but couldn't express there opinion or else you would be killed simple asbthat but with Yagura's fall Mei was instated. She had the recognition and the approval of the Daimyo from a time passed as she was given the Mizukage Cap as she lead her and her troops who respected her towards the leaf.

It was night time as we decided to take a rest as we all made camp. We were halfway towards the leaf as Mei just gotten a message that most anarchist that were for Yagura's rule have either been imprisoned or killed as she smiled and closed the letter as she wrote her thanks and strapped it back on the Messenger Hawk as it took of in the midnight sky's

Taking off my weights I was assigned a small tent with Asuma-Sensei as I lay my weights on the floor as Asuma-Sensei was currently taking his last smoke of the day with his last cigarette in the ones he brought with him so it was damn convenient for him to get back to Konoha but in all seriousness I wasn't mad that we were going back as for all I know there really isn't any waterfalls I know of in Konoha so learning how to waterfall walk has helped me with my control and with better Chakra capacity and control you could boost yourself with your Chakra more effectively and efficiently making you stronger. As my base without Chakra would be at a high genin but with my Chakra I'm at both probably a normal Chunin strength and high Chunin speed. Made me smile at how fast I was going to being stronger it was at a pace I didn't expect though these are Lee's the maniacs weights and with him not being able to use Chakra to boost himself then that would be a dangerous Shinobi right there.

Sitting in the small tent I went through my bag as I felt something inside and felt that my clothes needed to be washed in an actual washer…amazing…what did I honestly think I knew they smelled a bit but not in the good way…there was no soap. What a pain.

Waking up the next morning as I put my weights back on as I stretched and got ready for the day as I jumped on the top of my feet as Asuma-Sensei was outside just looking at the rising sun in the distance.

"So do you still think it was a bad idea to go to the Land of Waves." I say taking Asuma-Sensei's attention away as he looks my way and he looked back at the sky. "No…it wasn't a bad idea at all. Though I do wonder why you even know about Orochimaru and him killing the Kazekage even though his body wasn't in the outside of the Forest of Death." He looked at me a bit differently.

"I know you Shikamaru and I know you're hiding something though if that thing will hurt people I'm certain it won't especially with how you act I'm sure I could leave you to your own devices so I won't pry any more unless you want to tell me." Asuma-Sensei said as he say hi the branch he was standing on previously.

"I-I'll tell you…I…don't know…it's just…" I couldn't find the way to properly answer him or explain why as I was caught in my own words and I worried how he would think differently of me knowing I'm not from this world.

"If you're worried I'll treat you differently because of this then your underestimating how much I care for you as my student I'm there to protect you until you in your own path so as you're still hatching you could trust me." Asuma-Sensei said as he patted his hand down next to him ad I smiled and jumped towards him sitting in the spot he motioned too.

"Well…it all started about 6 months ago." I started and I went into an explanation of how I woke up on the day of the teams and I could see Asuma-Sensei look at me strangely.

"You've never been in a battle yet we're able to think like that in our first battle and actually managed to hit me." Asuma-Sensei sulked while I look away as I turn back.

"It's because I can adapt and I mean fast like I could after a couple times of fighting you get a grasp of your fighting style and although without the speed and strength you have I might be able to beat you in a spar." I said with a smirk as I look over to him as he huffed. "You keep thinking that." I sweat drop but honestly he's taking this a lot better than I thought someone would think there a media in another world like not many people would believe or even give the idea the light of day but Asuma-Sensei isn't like most people.

"Then if you know about the future then why don't you change it all." Asuma-Sensei said as he looked over to me.

"If I change the world I'll have to face the consequences and for right now I'm not strong enough to take them and even then If I change things sometimes the problems would be out of my element and I take the risk of changing what people might do…everyone has a free will to do anything and it's a weakness if you think you know what's going to happen instead of knowing if you get what I mean." He nodded at me as he got the idea of not changing everything or else I wouldn't be able to predict or use my knowledge of this world productively but that still is that I must take risks like this I didn't know anything about the Mist rebellion and in all honesty I though Yagura died before Naruto became a Shinobi but it was during the Chunin Exams.

We get up from our talk as we aim to pack the camp up and walk into a clearing to group up at the same position we were yesterday as all the Mist ninja transformed into innocent looking people to disguise them from possible Sand or Sound spy's as we walk towards the gates.

"Asuma and Shikamaru you guys are back and…who's that…is that the Mizukage!" Kotetsu yelled out as Izumo smacked him to keep his voice down as he looked around to see no one heard that.

I saw Mei walk up to Izumo and Kotetsu with Asuma on her tail.

"May I speak with the Hokage." Izumo and Kotetsu looked at the woman and at Asuma there sempai of sorts as he nodded at the two as they made a note and sent it in a messenger Hawk.

We waited as the others behind us kept up there disguise to hide and not worry any onlookers that no one seems to be caring well when where in the village people maybe spy's might want to report to Orochimaru and change the plan.

The messenger hawk soon came back with a message saying that a force to escort the Mizukage and her subordinates into the Hokage's office. We saw she nodded at the note and multiple leaf Anbu appeared by her as they took her to the Hokage office with Haku and Asuma-Sensei followed.

"Get them into a place to stay for these next couple of days Shikamaru." Asuma-Sensei said just before he left but we needed to get confirmation of them being allowed first though.

Hokage Office

Standing in the office was the Newly Elected Mizukage Mei Terumi and her bodyguard Haku Yuki. Even Asuma was here so it must have been something when the both Shikamaru and Asuma.

"Mei Terumi…I've heard quite about you I try to stay informed over people who might be Kage in the near future and I see you manage to get into contact with some of our Shinobi." Hiruzen the Third and current standing Hokage said as he looked over to Asuma.

"Yo." Was all he said and Hiruzen smiled at his son.

"Well may I know what you may be doing here. Mizukage." Hiruzen said cautiously and with respect though he had it for almost everyone.

"I have gained new information on Orochimaru of the Sannin while also many more things that may be of aid to you." Mei said as she bowed lowly in the chair she was sitting in directly in front of her.

An eyebrow raise from Hiruzen came and he wanted to understand why she would even be here for that.

"Well what would that be?" Mei looked over to Asuma and he nodded in a silent matter.

"Orochimaru is planning to attack the Leaf Village when the Finals of the Chunin Exams and it would be most likely they start the attack with the Jinchuriki Subaku No Gaara fighting Shikamaru Nara." That made Hiruzen press his teeth lightly together at the recent signs of the Sand willing to betray them.

"But it also be said is that the Current 4th Kazekage is dead." That made Hiruzen wide eyed as he looked opon the beautiful Woman with a top knot.

"Orochimaru will be planning to infiltrate the village as the 4th Kazekage and the Sand doesn't even know they lost there Kazekage so there being controlled by Orochimaru." Mei said which made Hiruzen clench his fingers to for a fist as he looked at it.

"Though if once receiving this information as i resides in one of Orochimaru's basses for some time after digging when the Mist rebellion was still fighting and in all actuality Shikamaru was the reason for me bringing this information here…also Asuma." She turned and smiled to him as he looks and slightly blushes as Hiruzen looks upon with a small grin on his face.

"Well this is very valuable information you have given me but to what reason may you have given this information." Hiruzen said skeptically.

Mei got out of her chair and bowed towards the Hokage and even Haku did as well as Mei stated why.

"I need your help…to reform my village back to the place people want to live instead of desert…I want the Mist to go back to being great and leave the Blood Mist back in the past and move on and with your help Lord Hokage it would be significantly easier." That brought Hiruzen again to a wide eye first he didn't expect the Mizukage to be bowing but second was this was possibly very good for both villages is he really thought about it long term.

"I propose after the Chunin Exams that the Village hidden in the Mist and the Village hidden in the Mist become Allies to each other I may not seem like much on the surface maybe even looking a bit shallow on my appearance but I truly care and I would gladly give my life to help or protect my Village so please I'm begging not as the Mizukage but as someone who wants people to live in peace in the Mist may you please help our country and we will help with all our might and resources to bring this once giant nation back to its rightful place as a great Village." Mei said as she looked down not bothering to get up as some tears spilt from the woman from the feelings she felt so strongly about wanting the greatness of her village back. She felt a hand on her shoulder as she stood up straight to have a hug from Asuma as she almost failed to return the hug almost burying herself in his Jonin Flak Jacket if it weren't for Hiruzen.

Hiruzen just looked onwards at the closeness his Son had with the Mizukage and he smiled seeing both the ways and things they both had in there eyes it looked quite real in Hiruzen's mind.

"Alright I have come to a decision." Hiruzen said as it brought both Asuma and Mei back to there feet and brushed aside there feelings shown from earlier.

"The Leaf village will ally themselves with the Village hidden in the Mist officially starting today but will not be said to the outer world until after the Chunin Exams." Hiruzen smiled widely as Mei and Asuma hugged once more as the girl about 16 years old smiled with a bit of tears coming from her eyes as well.

"My my Asuma I didn't think I would get more grandchildren my boy." Hiruzen said as he laughed broadly as the two hugging ninja burst out into a fire looking blush as Asuma could only respond with a cry of "Dad!" As it made him snicker a bit more as Mei looked away trying to keep her composure and failing.

Hiruzen signed a page with a treaty as Mei gaining her bearings herself signed formally forming the treaty.

"Thank you Lord Hokage." Mei said as she bowed but Hiruzen waved her off as she looked back up.

"You can call me Hiruzen…or father I wouldn't mind." Hiruzen said as she blushed a bit more as Asuma yelled at his dad again.

Ahh bring a father is an amazing thing sometimes isn't it.

Gates of the Leaf Village

"So anything interesting happened to you guys these past few weeks." I say to Izumo and Kotetsu who were lounging on there chairs just waiting for Asuma-Sensei as we talked for a little bit by this point.

"Nothing I mean why do they got us on gate duty like I feel like it's always us" Kotetsu said as I felt very amused by his statement as Izumo sighed at his friends antics.

"At least we're not on the battlefield you know." Izumo said as he looked at his friends.

"Yea man I'll just be getting Jonin before you guys is that cool." I said as I look away as both of them look at me.

"Theirs is no way you would beat us to Jonin um huh." Kotetsu said and hummed as Izumo backed him up.

"Oh yea I think in the next 3 years is all I need to surpass you guys in rank." I said teasingly at them as I felt the fire coming out of Kotetsu's eyes as he righted the statement.

"Then we'll have to be Jonin first Izumo after the Chunin Exams were training." Kotetsu said as he interlocked his arm with Izumo who had the same look in his eye.

Heh

'Is this what all Leaf Shinobi are?'

"Shikamaru is that you." I saw the entirety of the Konoha genin in the finals come to me from where they were as the rest of Team 10, 7 and 8 where there as I looked awkwardly at them.

I wave at them as they come closer. As I was taken aback on why they were all together like this.

"Yea me and Asuma-Sensei got back here a little earlier then we thought but it's for good reason though." I exclaimed as Kakashi-Sensei looked around for Asuma but didn't find him. "Then where is-" "Kakashi" Asuma-Sensei said as we turn to him, Mei, Haku and the Hokage coming towards us.

"Yo Asuma-Sensei did it end well." I asked as they came closer to us until the Hokage looked at all the transformed ninja and nodded.

"Yea I think so." Asuma smiled as all of the Konoha Ninja looked at him.

"Is that the Mizukage!?" Kakashi-Sensei questioned a bit strangely at a nation not allied with them is here.

"Yea..why is she here." Kurenai-Sensei said a bit uncomfortable.

"Well it seems we're allied with another village is the short answe." The Hokage said as he looked over and a Kunoichi cut the distance between herself and her Kage.

"Haku-Chan is that you!?" Naruto yelled as Haku looked up to Naruto and smiled at him as he smiled back as she walked closer to them.

"Wow did you get taller." Naruto said as she now stood at a whopping 5'6 as she kinda towered over us but I'm catching up…slowly… yea whatever it's not like it hurts me being this height…it totally doesn't.

She smiled and rustled his hair with her hand as he smiles as they greet each other.

"Any of you all if you know who you are follow me and I'll have a place for you all to live for the mean time and all inform my Shinobi about this so make sure you stay hidden." The Hokage said as he went a way which the transformed Ninja went with while also the Mizukage joining them without wearing the cap.

"Well that happened." I said as I wanted to get back to training it was early morning on the 22nd day so we still had 7 days to train a rest day and then the finals. So in a week my life will be changed one way or another.

Well I hope it's a good change anyways.
