Naruto had to admit that he was nervous. Here he was standing before the aged Hokage as he waited for the aged leader to finish reading his mission report and deal with the scroll containing Zabuza’s head and sword. After finishing reading the report, the old man proceeded to pass the storage scroll to the single Chūnin that was standing next to his desk, before the younger man left the room.
“Naruto, would you care to explain to me why you decided to continue on with the mission despite your rank,” the Sandaime asked strangely calm considering the circumstances. “There were several factors involved in making my decision, with first and foremost, whether or not my team possessed the ability to complete the mission and survive. After that came the decision regarding the mission payment and the likely hood of the client paying the appropriate amount for an A-rank when the mission is over and lastly, deciding whether it was the right thing to do,” the young blond stated seriously as he gauged the old leaders reactions to his comments. “I see… I take it then that you decided that each of the factors mentioned were positive.” “Going by my judgement I believed so and was correct in my belief that we of genin team 7 possessed the skills to complete the mission,” the whiskered genin stated, never looking away from the old man’s eyes. “I see… may I ask the severity of any injuries you or your teammates received on the mission?” “The only injuries we received on the mission were a few burns on Sakura’s hands due to making mistakes when practicing drawing out her Katon affinity,” the temporary taishou stated, noticing a small trace of surprise upon hearing the small piece of information. “I must admit that that is surprising, therefore I must request that your teammates receive a medical examination to determine whether what you say is true or not.” “Um, excuse me Hokage-sama, may I ask why you aren’t asking Naruto-senpai to get a medical examination as well?” Sakura asked the aged leader with obvious signs of nervousness in her voice. “It’s because I have a powerful regenerative ability courtesy of my tenant,” the whiskered blond stated calmly, earning an understanding nod off his less skilled teammate, until her face lit up in confusion. “Huh? What do you mean your tenant?” the young pinkette asked causing the old leader to grow nervous about where the conversation was going. “I’m what is known as a Jinchūriki, someone that has a bijū sealed inside them,” the blond genin said calmly, shocking the Hokage with his openness concerning his burden, “in my case the Kyūbi no kitsune.” “Uh, then why was I never told this before?” the emerald eyed girl asked blankly. “Two reasons, one, Hokage-sama made a law that forbid people from telling our generation about it and secondly, I didn’t think it was important,” the blue eyed genin stated calmly, causing the young girl to start thinking, before simply shrugging her shoulders. “I guess you’re right,” she stated calmly surprising the aged leader with her quick dismissal of the information. “Now for the next point of business… Haku was it?” the robed figure asked, earning a small nod from the downcast girl, “it is stated in this report that you possess a rare kekkei genkai, would you should me?” Once the old man had made the request, the dark haired captive proceeded to hold her hand out as moisture from the air condensed together before expanding slightly as it froze, creating a small crystal of ice for the Hokage to see. “Well that is an interesting ability… so Haku, the question remains which do you choose, CRA or BBA?” the currently smoking leader asked seriously, drawing a confused expression from the young girl. “CRA stands for Clan Restoration Act, it just means that you will be allowed to practice polygamy should you wish to and that you will have a say in village politics,” Naruto informed her upon seeing the confusion in her eyes, “BBA however, stands for Bloodline Breeding Act, to put it another way, you will be locked in a cell and raped on a daily basis in an attempt to force you to give birth to a child with your ability.” “It is a simple choice and depends solely on whether or not you choose to swear your loyalty to Konoha or not, so make your decision,” Sarutobi stated with an air of complete seriousness. “Without Zabuza-sama, I’ve lost my purpose.” “If you’ve lost your purpose then find another one,” came a call from the raven haired Uchiha, shocking the young girl in the process, “find someone new to try and protect… when I was a kid, I loved my family more than anything and then, they were all taken from me… and the worst part was that the man that murdered them all was my own brother,” and with that statement, the young Hyōton user let out a gasp of surprise, “for so long I lived solely for revenge… but then I met people that became important to me… what I’m saying is that you shouldn’t just give up on life because you lost one person that was important to you, because you can always find new friends and family.” Haku wanted to respond, she wanted to shout at him about not knowing what it was like to lose the one person that gave your life meaning… but she couldn’t. Hearing his story she couldn’t help but feel sad that he had been put through such a scenario when he was younger, sure it wasn’t the same as what she had experienced but it was just as bad, if not worse. “I’m sorry to rush you along but I have a schedule to keep, so I can only give you two more minutes to decide your future,” the aged Kage stated, causing the dark haired girl to let out a deep breath as she decided that she would at least try to carry on with her life. “I’ll swear my loyalty to this village,” and with that said, Sarutobi’s expression softened before picking up a pen and writing a small note and placing his seal on it. “Team 7, please take Haku to DOTAR and give them this note,” the smoking leader asked the small group, earning a curt nod off the blond before the group left the office. “Um, Naruto-senpai… what’s DOTAR?” Sakura asked with a hint of confusion having never heard of the term before. “DOTAR stands for ‘the Department Of Trade And Residence’ it’s the place you go if you want to purchase or rent a property or start a business in the village,” the young blond explained, causing the pinkette to blink in surprise at the information. “How do you know that?” she questioned as Naruto led the way to the office. “Since I became a ninja I’ve had to pay my rent to them every month,” the whiskered genin explained. “Oh…” Throughout the entire conversation, Haku couldn’t help but wonder what had happened to the cold and merciless killers that she had been imprisoned by. It was then that something came to the front of her mind… ‘a true shinobi will kill their heart’. XXX XXX XXX Kakashi was growing annoyed. Oh how he wished he had his own team back. Working alongside Kurenai was nothing bad, however those brats on her team were useless… well except for the Aburame but that didn’t count. He had quickly learned that the Inuzuka was about as stealthy as an elephant courtesy of him always charging in, fangs bared without thinking. There was also this strange obsession he had with killing Naruto… Kakashi still couldn’t figure out why the boy hated the blond so much. The Hyūga was even worse. At least with the Inzuka all that really needed to be done was get him to slow down and think things through, but the Hyūga was essentially a nervous wreck that was scared of hurting others… combining the two made her completely useless as a ninja… sure she might have potential as a doctor but even then she would have to get over her nerves before she even stood a chance of doing anything with her life. The Aburame was decent, all he really needed was to improve his physical conditioning, introduce new breeds of Kikai into his hive and gain experience and he would be an outstanding ninja with his current mindset and skill. Right now, Kakashi was sitting with Team 8 in a local teahouse, simply staring into thin air as he wished his team would return from their last mission and let him leave his ‘new team’ to Kurenai. The first thing that annoyed him about Team 8 was the C-rank they went on… despite the fact that they only came across two B-rank missing nins in the bandit camp they were supposed to wipe out, he had been forced to dispose of one of them, something he would’ve never had to do if it was Team 7. Then of course there was Kiba constantly shouting at him in the hopes of being taught a new jutsu that could, as he put it ‘make me awesome’… oh how Kakashi had tried to explain to the mutt that it wasn’t the jutsu, but how it was used that made it formidable but the boy was going through the stage in life where he didn’t think and generally ignored his elders, making it impossible to get that piece of information into his skull. Continuing to think about the differences between his team and Team 8, Kakashi couldn’t help but feel grateful that his students were all either fully developed or very receptive of his teachings. Deciding to shake his head clear of that train of thought upon seeing a group that was the spitting image of his genin team with an extra member, Kakashi suddenly realised that it was his genin and someone else he had never seen before. “Yo, little genin, over here!” the silver haired Jōnin called out, causing team 8 to look over to where the man was waving. “Yo senpai, been a while huh?” Naruto responded as the group made their way to the table, though everyone noticed a low growl emanating from the tattooed boy wearing a puppy as a hat. “So who’s the new guy?” the cycloptic ninja asked with a good natured eye smile, noticing the persons lack of vitality. “This is Haku, a girl from the Yuki clan we met during the mission,” The whiskered blond stated, surprising the pinkette with the clan name. “Really? I thought they were all killed during the Kiri bloodline purges… anyway, the names Hatake Kakashi, nice to meet ya,” the lanky man said with a small salute, earning nothing in response from the young girl, “so… how did you meet?” the masked Jōnin asked hoping to liven the mood a little bit. “As enemies,” came the calm response from Sasuke, surprising Team 8 in the process, “Haku was the apprentice of a ninja we fought to protect the bridge builder, when we killed him, we captured Haku for her bloodline, nothing more, nothing less.” “I see, so that’s why Haku doesn’t seem even slightly happy right now… anyway, who was this ninja you met?” Kakashi asked his genin with curiosity lacing his voice. “Someone called Momochi Zabuza,” Sakura answered, only to be distracted upon hearing a small choking sound from the other Jōnin at the table. “Look here, there is no way a team of genin could possibly kill the Kirigakure no Kijin on their own, so don’t lie about something like that,” Kurenai demanded, earning a look of anger off the pinkette while Naruto and Sasuke simply placed their orders, completely ignoring the statement. “Sakura, calm down, Kurenai-san has every reason to dismiss what you just said and until she confirms with Hokage-sama himself that we did in fact kill Zabuza, she will never believe it,” Naruto stated causing the weakest member of team 7 to calm down. “Uh excuse me, but who the hell is Momochi Zabuza?” Kiba asked in an attempt to stay in the loop. “A former member of the iri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shū(1) and a master of the silent killing style,” Kakashi stated calmly causing Kiba to look at team 7 before looking back at the man. “And THEY say they beat a guy like that? Yeah right,” came the expected reply. “It doesn’t matter if you believe us or not, what matters is that we completed our mission and brought Haku to Konoha,” Naruto stated calmly, causing team 8 to look at him in surprise, “what?” “Since when have you ever acted like that?” the stunned Inuzuka asked as he looked at the ‘deadlast’. “A long time Kiba… I’ll be honest with you, the biggest problem I faced in the academy was staying the deadlast,” the young blond stated, causing the members of the tracking team to look at him in confusion. “What do ya mean ‘staying the deadlast’?” the puppy wearing ninja asked as he tried to process this ‘new’ Naruto. “(sigh) team 10 didn’t believe us either when we told them that me and Sasuke have been best friends for a few years now… that’s the only reason I failed the graduation exam twice, because we were rigging the teams so we’d placed together,” the whiskered child stated calmly. Silence reigned around the genin as team 8 processed the information they were just given. The silence was eventually broken by the loudest of the group. “Hey, Sakura, how much do you know about Naruto and Sasuke?” the dark haired Inuzuka asked with a strangely serious expression on his face. “A little, I’m certain that there’s a lot I don’t know about them but I do know more than most,” the pinkette answered as she thought over what she knew about her teammates. “Do you know anything about Naruto’s personal life?” suddenly several serious stares landed on the grey clad boy, however he refused to back down… there was something he needed to know and he wasn’t going to back down when he was potentially right next to the truth. “All I know about his personal life is that he lives in a one bedroom apartment with his girlfriend,” Sakura answered truthfully. Suddenly Hyūga Hinata’s world shattered. Her crush and idol already had a girlfriend and not only that, he was living with her in a ONE bedroom apartment. Suddenly losing most of her energy, she focused on trying to calm herself and keep herself from crying. “Can I ask if you’ve ever met this girlfriend of his?” Kiba asked her, not wanting to be fooled if Naruto had told her and it had just been a lie. “Yeah, she’s pretty cool, works as a medic in T&I and has even helped me learn a little bit of Iryōjutsu,” the pink haired genin told him with a noticeable amount of enthusiasm in her tone, surprising team 8 and Haku in the process. “You sound like you really like her,” Kurenai stated with a small smirk, causing the young girl to look at her with a hint of confusion. “Well she is cool, nice and has helped me with a couple of things,” came the simple reply from the pinkette. “Sakura, did you not notice the jibe Kurenai-san was making?” Naruto asked her with a completely unreadable expression on his face, while Sasuke, Kakashi and Haku couldn’t help but let out a couple of snickers. “Huh? What do you mean?” came the dumbfounded reply from the emerald eyed genin. “(sigh) Sakura… Kurenai was just questioning your sexuality,” came the deadpanned statement from the blue eyed boy, causing team eight to suddenly choke on their drinks. “W-what!!! What do you mean by that?!!!” the weakest of team 7 spurted out in indignation. “Sakura, you do realise that the way you were speaking about Sei-chan sounded slightly homosexual right? And then you didn’t help yourself when you answered Kurenai-san’s statement,” the blond further explained to the young girl while more people at the table started to laugh quietly. “B-but I!” “And for your information, if you want Sei-chan then you’ll have to fight me for her,” Naruto said with a playful smile, making the pinkette blush in embarrassment before looking away and crossing her arms. Kiba couldn’t stop himself from laughing at the situation Sakura had dug herself into. Though as he laughed he couldn’t stop himself from thinking, more specifically, comparing the academy Naruto to the one he saw in front of him. After less than ten minutes, he could already tell that the two were completely different people, while one was a hyperactive knucklehead that no one could possibly fall for, the other was a calm and collected guy that already had a girlfriend. It was then that he knew what he had to do. “Naruto…” Kiba started after everyone had managed to stop laughing. “What is it?” “I’m sorry,” came the subdued statement, shocking everyone at the table, “if you’re living with your girlfriend then I guess you’ve already… you know… done it.” “You mean had sex? Yeah, why?” Naruto stated calmly, surprising team 8 and Haku. “When did you first do it?” “Kiba! That is enough!” Kurenai hissed out at the prying Inuzuka. “It’s okay, I remember it clearly, we’d just finished celebrating Sei-chan passing her T&I exam… it was the day before you started to try… and… kill me,” during the last sentence things started to click for the blond, the timing of Kiba’s attacks on him, the Inuzuka’s sense of smell and his old mask, “(sigh) why the hell didn’t I see that before? You smelt it didn’t you?” “Yeah… and thinking about what you were like in the academy…” Kiba started, unable to finish the sentence. “No one would have fallen for me. Heh, knowing that I can’t blame you for trying to kill me,” the blond admitted with a smile, happy that the entire misunderstanding was FINALLY sorted. “You don’t?” the boy with a puppy hat asked in surprise. “Yeah… well it is a pretty obvious assumption, when no one in their right mind would fall for a person then they either took advantage of someone when they were drunk or raped them,” Naruto admitted, further shocking the group with his own admission that he would’ve probably made the same mistake, “though personally I would’ve challenged them about it verbally before trying to kill them,” and with that Kiba’s head dropped as he thought about how different things could’ve been if he had spoken to Naruto about it back then. “Uzumaki-san, may I request that you introduce us to this girlfriend of yours someday?” came a request from someone that hadn’t spoken during the entire conversation, Aburame Shino. “Sure, I’ll see Sei-chan about it later,” the whiskered blond answered calmly before proceeding to eat his order before it became cold. XXX XXX XXX Leaving the teahouse after everything was finished, Hinata walked as fast as she could home, only to stop upon hearing a voice next to her. “I’m sorry for disturbing you Hinata, but I believe you should at least see the person that Naruto lives with… it might make you feel better in the long run,” came the monotone voice of Shino as he walked beside her. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking a-about,” she stated as she tried to keep her tears in. “Hinata, I’ve noticed your adoration of Uzumaki for a while now and I believe that he knows about it as well, so please do not pretend to have no feelings for him,” the spiky haired bug user stated seriously, “I know I may not be the best, but if you ever need someone to cry on then feel free to come to me.” “T-thank you Shino-kun… g-goodbye,” the pale eyed girl managed to stutter out before running at full speed home. “I wonder why she feels she has to do things alone,” the young Aburame muttered to himself before heading home as well. XXX XXX XXX “So Naruto, did you intend on hurting the Hyūga heir?” Kakashi asked his blond student as team 7 and Haku walked along the street in the general direction of their homes. “No, but she needed to know that she doesn’t stand a chance of getting together with me and even if she did, I’m not the person she thought I was,” the whiskered blond replied calmly. “So instead of breaking it to her gently, you pretty much decided to stick an exploding tag on her face and watch her go up in smoke,” the cycloptic Jōnin stated blankly. “Hey! Don’t diss exploding tags!” came the indignant response from the blue eyed genin, earning several chuckles off his teammates and an eyesmile of his taishou. “Fine… I won’t make fun of exploding tags anymore,” Kakashi said with a good natured chuckle. “Good, cause if you did then you’d find yourself learning the hard way why exploding tags are used so often,” Naruto stated with a small smile, “anyway, I’ll see ya later,” and with that said, Naruto strayed from the group to head directly home. “Anyway, I guess I’ll take Haku to her apartment since I didn’t have anything to do with the mission,” the silver haired ninja stated before leading the long haired Hyōton user to her new home. “See ya Sakura,” Sasuke called towards his last remaining teammate. “Yeah, see ya tomorrow Sasuke,” and with that said, both proceeded to shunshin home. XXX XXX XXX Seikou couldn’t help but feel depressed. She always felt like this whenever Naruto went on a mission outside the village. It wasn’t concern or anything like that, no she had complete faith in his abilities, what always got to her was the loneliness of the apartment without him there to hold her, caress her… her mind wandered off as she thought about all the things the young blond would do for and to her. She must have been desperate as she began to feel the warmth of his breath on the back of her neck, his gentle touch slipping under her shirt to caress her toned stomach, the light, fluffy kisses planting themselves on the side of her neck down to her shoulders. “Hey Sei-chan, did you miss me?” suddenly she snapped out of her stupor as her head twisted only for her lips to get pressed against as a long, fleshy tongue snaked its way into her waiting maw. After what seemed like an eternity, the two separated before she let her words escape her lips, “thank god you’re back… do you know how lonely it was here without you?” “Sorry Sei-chan, but the mission was to protect a bridge builder until he finished building a bridge to Nami no Kuni, so by definition it had to take a while to complete,” the azure eyed genin stated as he gazed into her chocolate orbs before once again connecting his mouth with hers. “Come on, let’s go to bed,” Seikou said as she wrapped her arms around the younger boy as they made their way to the bedroom.(1) seven ninja swordsmen of the mist
