Okay y'all. Second chapter to You Again…? Will commence in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1! GO!


Chapter: 2


"You again…?" Naruto said, his eyes twitching in shock and his mouth hanging agape with inner conflicts on what else to say. He watched as she winked at him and turned the corner, he quickly raced after in a hurry. But instead of the woman he came face to face with a drunk Jiraiya who was stuttering with a perverted leer.

"Oh~ hiya kid… what's got you so spooked?" Jiraiya said in a drunken slur. Naruto growled and pushed him out of the way, but he saw no one down the other corridor, just an elevator; she could've gone anywhere.

"Damn it!" Naruto grunted while punching a hole in the plaster wall to his right before stomping back to his shared apartment with his coach.

Blinking in surprise, Jiraiya looked at his own fist before punching the wall and got a shout in response from his own self. "OW! How does the gaki do that so easily?" Jiraiya said to himself before making his way to his room, but something came clear to the white haired man. Where was his room?! Groaning in annoyance he began knocking on each door, looking for his own.

Next Day

Naruto was leaning his chin on his open palm while he was bombarded with questions from the public. Post-fight interviews were such a hassle for the blonde.

Jiraiya was picking the people to come forth with their questions for his student to answer. Seeing a beautiful woman in the crowd with her hand up, he picked her. Coming forth to ask the question, they asked:

"During the fight, we saw your style of fighting change mid-fight. Why is that?" The pretty lady with blonde hair tied in two pigtails asked curiously. The public looked at me for an answer.

"I got knocked down because of my carelessness and had to switch things up…? Duh!" Naruto said and the lady asking the question smiled sweetly before bring the mic to her lips once more.

"You'd best watch your mouth gaki, you realize who you're talking to, yes?" She asked, her diamond shaped tattoo glowed before a surge of power leaked from her.

Naruto finally looked at her before realizing who asked the question. Eyes widening in shock, he quickly rubbed them before shouting:

"Baa-chan!?" Naruto said and Jiraiya also was shocked.

"Hime?! Why are you at the press conference?" He asked, she replied by saying how much she missed her grandson and wanted to see him fight. "What about me?" He asked with a grin, he was shut down by her reply.

"What about you?" She said and he deflated. Naruto picked another reporter, this time it was a man. He had a scar over the bridge of his nose and had his hair tied into a ponytail.

"Who will your next fight be?" He asked, Naruto grinned, pointing at the main camera that's broadcasting the press conference; flashing his belt, he grinned.

"Whoever wants a shot at the title, bring it on!" Naruto stated.

"Fight me then!"

Naruto stood up, looking around the crowd for the owner of the voice. He saw a man with a swirly mask.

"And you are?"

"I'm Madara Uchiha!" Whispers went out through the crowd.

"What gave you the idea that you could even earn the name "Madara Uchiha?" Naruto asked mockingly. The man chuckled, walking up to the stage before climbing onto it.

"It's only an alias I go by." The man said and Naruto stepped closer, realizing they were both the same height. Naruto smirked while tilting his head up; a little jab he did to mess with his opponents.

"And I should fight you, why?" Naruto asked cockily, "Madara" then smirked under his mask.

"I want the title, you're offering it. Why not take it." Madara said and Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"You saw my last fight, right?" Naruto said; maybe if he reminded this chump who the champ was, he'd understand what he was asking.

"That little tip-for-tap? Yeah, I want my money back." He said, gaining laughter from the crowd. Naruto growled and threw a hook to the man's face, using his whole body; his eyes were pale by the amount of concentration he was putting into the punch. But to everyone's shock the punch seamlessly went through the man easily; either he dodged it and everyone was too slow to see it happen, or Naruto missed.

"What the-" Naruto said and jumped back from a straight cross the man threw to gain distance, the punch nipped his nose. The blonde touched his nose, realizing there was a scratch present, he clicked his teeth.

"Fine. I'll send over the contract to your country." Naruto said, the man and he exchanged details; well, more like their coaches did. Naruto was too stubborn to negotiate with the likes of a wannabe.

Later

Naruto was in his room, thinking of how his punch missed. The scheduled the fight to take place at Suna who was hosting a tournament, they were bumped up to the main event on the card while the actual main event was scheduled to fight as an undercard.

Naruto saw his coach come back with a grave look.

"Well?" He asked. Jiraiya took off his hat, held it in front of him with a grave look.

"This guy is something else. He adapts while he fights better than you do, he's faster, has more experience and he's also stronger than most heavyweights. His record is 28 - 1 - 2. Twice the size of yours and more impressive, this'll be your first tough fight." Jiraiya said with some reluctance; not wanting to douse his students spirit. Something else happened, Naruto laughed, cackled like a maniac.

"Is that supposed to scare me? I made a promise to never lose! And I ain't gonna lose this one." Naruto said, Jiraiya nodded with some attitude; mockingly.

"Yeah, yeah. We know about your little promise you made to your little girlfriend when you were 16." Jiraiya said, blowing a raspberry at the end to show his annoyance; is that what's really pushing him?! A promise he made 4 years ago?!

"15." Naruto reminded.

"Whatever. Look, it's impressive that you became the welterweight champion of the world in 5 years, but you got here without her help or anything. Just admit it, she's not what pushes you." The coach said and Naruto scoffed.

"I'm going for a run."

"Yeah that's right! Run away from your problems." Jiraiya said while ushering him out the door and slammed it. Little did he know, Naruto wasn't running away, but towards his problem.

Naruto

Naruto was running around Konoha, taking turns down every street that led to the Boxing Champion mountain. There were four faces on there, faces of champions that made an impact on the world.

The first was a man with long straight hair: Hashirama Senju. He was the first boxer in history to become the peoples champion before becoming the heavyweight champion of the world, but his title was soon overcome by his old sparring partner who hurt him so badly that he ceased to walk. He died with a record of 56 - 1 with 37 of his fights being won by knockouts. He was given the name: God of boxers. (56 - 1)

The second face was a man with spiky hair, a narrow jawline and red markings on his face: Tobirama Senju. This man was hailed as the smartest boxer in the history of the sport, being outshined by his brother made most of his attempts to gain fame impossible because he was always compared with the man. What made Hashirama special in the ring was that he could heal most injuries before they even happen. But he became famous as the first boxer to not have a style of boxing, he could be a brawler one round, a counter puncher the second round, an outboxer that utilized the jab. He was given the name: Formless Box. He retired with a staggering record of 201 total fights, he won 174 of them winning 109 of them by knockout, he lost 19 times in his career and drew 6 times. (174 - 19 - 6)

The third statue was of an elderly man, he wasn't that much of a boxer, but he was a coach of many S-rank champions, Naruto's own coach being one of them. He was known as: The Professor for his smart intellect and methods of training being different from any other coach.

The fourth head on the mountain was of a man with spiky hair and had two bangs that framed his face. Minato Namikaze, known as the fastest and strongest boxer ever to enter the ring. He was a heavyweight, that's what made his record even more impressive and why he was the only boxer in history to be ranked SS+ in the bingo book. He went by the name: Yellow Flash. For if you blinked he would be in your face and his hand would be glued to your abdomen. He died in the ring with a record of 199 - 0 with all his fights being won by TKO because his opponents gave up. That was until he suffered a horrible disease in the 12th round and he called the fight, but his opponent, Fugaku Uchiha didn't listen and killed him with a three punch combo to the head that killed him. (199 - 0)

Fugaku was disqualified for wrongfully attacking after the fight.

So Minato died with 200 wins, 0 losses and 199 wins by TKO, and 1 extra win by DQ truly the best.

Naruto was sprinting up the mountain, never losing stride, that was when he came to a stop when he found himself on his dads statue. He saw the silhouette of the woman he met last night in his hotel he was staying at.

"Hey!" Naruto called out, the woman turned around; her happy smile on her face.

"Hey Foxy." She said with a giggle. Naruto cautiously circled around her from a distance. He made sure to keep some space between the two. "Well? You're not going to give me a hug?" She asked, Naruto didn't say anything. She then slithered towards him with precise, smooth and fluid steps; reminiscent of his own shuffle. Naruto did a counter right; stepping back once before exploding forward with a straight right. He thought she was attacking him.

She slipped the punch easily and caught his body in a firm embrace that reflected how much love she put into the hug. Naruto was speechless, he instinctively wrapped his arms around her tight body, his arms moving straight to her waist and pulled her forward till their pelvis were touching.

She giggled.

"I still get butterflies when you pull me." She said, she then rested her head on his chest, enjoying the steady rhythm of his heart beating ever so slowly. Naruto smelled her hair, it was still lingering of honey and cinnamon.

"Anko… what are you doing here?" Naruto asked while his fingers danced near the small of her back. Naruto was 20 years old, while Anko was 23 years old.

"I was in the neighbourhood." She said with her eyes shut. Naruto's jaw clenched.

"What about Oto-ga-kure? Isn't that your "calling?" Naruto said. Naruto was quite annoyed that she left.

"You're still on about that?" Anko said and broke the embrace, much to their equally disappointment.

"I didn't want you to leave." Naruto said, turning his back to her. "You left me when I needed you. My Mum just died and you left. How should I feel?" Naruto asked, Anko encircled her arms around his frame from behind, resting her head on his back while her hold tightened.

"I'm sorry… I didn't know that your mum was sick. You never tell me anything besides you're ok and safe; If I knew I would've stayed with you." Anko proclaimed, Naruto stiffened when he heard this.

"I guess it's partly my fault for not telling you more about my personal life…" Naruto said, Anko nodded into his back. Naruto intertwined his hands within her hands.

"Yes. It's not just my fault, Stupid." Anko said, Naruto chuckled because she frequently called him 'stupid' when she was nervous, happy, or embarrassed.

Naruto and Anko detached from one another and found themselves at a ramen stall, one that they frequented a lot over their three months of dating.

"Old man, two miso for me and one bowl of red bean soup." Naruto called over the counter, out from the back, a man with tan skin and a shaved head smiled. He got a quick hit of nostalgia of when they were smaller than their current selves.

"Well looky who we have here!" Ayame said from around the kitchen corner. She stepped out, showing a physique that could rival Anko's with brown hair and brown sparkling eyes that fit onto her pretty face. She wore a white apron with a work cap.

Naruto and Anko got their orders and took them to the outside stools. They spent their night talking about what's been going on within their lives. Naruto life being basically public to everyone, yet Anko's was kinda private with her life.

She'd reveal to him that her band broke up after she left because they couldn't find a lead singer to replace her, so they disbanded, there was no reason to continue the band without her. She went into detail how she stayed as a barista at a local coffee shop. Naruto reminded her how he still hadn't tried one of her coffees or drinks.

"That'll never happen, I'd price-gouge you ." Anko said with a wag of her finger in a teasing manner. Naruto scoffed and rested his chin on his palm. Teuchi came to them moments after and told them he was packing up the shop, Naruto and Anko bid him and his daughter a farewell before leaving a big tip.

Naruto and Anko were walking back towards the local inn for wanderers who were visiting. They made their way to their respective apartments; Naruto figuring out she's right across from him and they shared a laugh.

Naruto closed his door, resting his back on it before smiling warmly at the reunion with Anko. He heard a grunt and looked towards the noise; Jiraiya was in front of him stirring a tea with a little spoon while sitting on a small sofa.

"Hey old man. What's the haps'?" Naruto asked, removing his shoes and sweater. Jiraiya clicked his teeth with a growl.

"You're seeing the charlatan ahead of your fight?" The old coach said, Naruto blew the worry off with his hand.

"Don't worry, pervert. I still have six weeks to prepare, and we were only catching up." The blonde said with a smile, Jiraiya shook his head.

"Listen boy, women are a distraction in this sport. You don't want someone to create feelings for you and then you die in the ring; boom, another body straight after! Haven't you been listening to what I've been trying to drill into your head?!" Jiraiya asked, jabbing his index finger into Naruto's temple.

"Shut up, you don't understand." Naruto said, walking towards his room and his coach let him go with a warning:

"Don't get too attached. It'll be your downfall from greatness." He said.

"Oh Jiraiyaaaa~" Naruto heard Tsunade's voice coming from his coach/Grandpa's room.

"Don't." Naruto said. Jiraiya grew a blush before he disappeared towards his room. Naruto used a mocking voice and said his coach's words. "It'll be your downfall my ass! Stupid hypocrite.." Naruto growled before taking a seat on the sofa Jiraiya was previously on. He grinned while looking at the ceiling.

"Accidentally in love…"

Anko

Anko was resting her back against the wall, hugging herself with a happy smile on her face. She then removed her shoes, dress, white over shirt and glasses. Anko made her way to the couch, lounging on it; she pulled out the hair band that kept her hair tied before lying back on the comfy sofa.

"Accidentally in love…" She said; unknown to her, Naruto said the same words at the same time as her. They then both fell asleep.
