Political Alliances
Chapter 11: Looking into the Past
Team 7 had been given a day off by Kakashi, apparently he was looking into something and it would take some time so he left them a free day. Naruto wanted to see Lee in the hospital as the boy was going into his surgery soon and he wanted to support him, Sakura had agreed to go as well. Sasuke said he had better things to do which of course started an argument with Naruto that lasted for a bit. Temari said she had a few things she needed to take care of and would meet up with Naruto back at their home.
Temari figured this was the best time to start looking into the blond puzzle that was Naruto Uzumaki. She had read his file back in Suna when she was told who she was to marry. The files they did have came from the shared information act that the previous alliance had that would give the basic information on active ninja that weren’t ANBU. It was a way to prevent villages that were friendly with each other to prevent complications while on mission or met up in the field.
Also Suna had just before the invasion had made up files on all active ninja they could find, the Suna intelligence section had stopped every other mission for the planned invasion of Konoha. Given the failure of that invasion, Temari had a good guess that many people lost their jobs if not their lives for failure to gain the proper intelligence for just how strong this village was. At any rate she had memorized his records but some of it didn’t make any sense as she had gotten to know Naruto.
He was an orphan from a family name that had no record to it, Uzumaki just didn’t seem to exist in any records that her people could find and there had never been an Uzumaki clan at any point that she could find. But to gain entrance into the academy you needed to be sponsored, usually by a guardian or parent. But Naruto’s had been sighed by the Third Hokage himself which was very odd, even the Third had emancipated Naruto at a young age taking him out of the orphanage and even gave him an apartment.
There was obviously something going on, it was nagging at her lately. Naruto’s grade showed him the last in his class and she had to admit that his book smarts weren’t all that great. His taijutsu was basic but he improvised a lot in his fights while disregarding his own safety like injuries didn’t matter to him. His ninjutsu however was very impressive as he had learned a move of the Fourth’s in a month. He was also making good progress with his wind manipulation as well. There were also times he had great insight into things so his grade didn’t make much sense to her.
There were so many things that didn’t make sense so she needed to start piecing things together. That was to start talking to those that knew Naruto the most, the ramen stand people seemed nice and apparently knew him very well but right now she was heading for the academy. Hopefully she could find this Iruka that Naruto had talked about, she had seen a picture that the young man had of himself with strange goggles on his head with a man with a scar on his face both smiling.
Know where the man was and what he looked like she had an idea it wouldn’t be a problem to find him. Thankfully, Naruto had given her a very good tour of the village and her time here, both in the chunin exams and her living here, Temari had started to know the village fairly well. She walked her way to where the academy was and remembered Naruto showing her the building. To her it wasn’t all that impressive, a few stories and looked like it could hold somewhere around five to eight classes.
She also remembered this as the place where they had met up for the chunin exams with that written test that scared freak made them take. She still couldn’t believe all that hard work in that test was for nothing. Temari then smiled as she remembered the end of that test, with Naruto slamming his hand onto the desk and voicing his claim of not giving up. At the time she didn’t think much of it, but looking back she had to admit that Naruto wasn’t going to let anyone or anything stand in his way of being Hokage.
When she got inside there was a helpful lady at the front desk that told her where to find the teacher by the name of Iruka. Temari signed in and made her way to where the classroom was, she wasn’t sure if the class was in session or not and if it was she would have to wait for a break to talk to him. Fortunately when she got to the room the door was open, she looked inside the empty class with only a man writing on papers, most likely grading them. She could see kids playing outside the window in the back of the building and guessed she had good timing.
“Excuse me I’m looking for Iruka?” Temari asked as she entered the room.
Iruka looked up to the blonde girl a little confused at first seeing the Leaf village symbol around her neck. He didn’t remember who she was at first but the fan on her back made him kick in his memory. He had seen the Sand team only a couple of times and never up close but that fan was something that stuck out in memory.
“Ah, you wouldn’t happen to be Temari, would you?” Iruka asked in a friendly manner.
Temari nodded, “Yes I am and I take it that you are Iruka.”
It was more a statement then question but Iruka nodded anyway as he stood up to great her. She had heard all about the whole arranged married with Naruto and he felt for the boy. He had been so busy the past couple of weeks he kept missing Naruto at the ramen stand.
“So what can I do for you?” He asked her.
Temari wasn’t sure what to say at first, she had thought about several things to talk about but decided to lead up to the really important questions she wanted to ask. “Naruto has talked a lot about many of the people in his life, I think I’ve met most of them but I wanted to meet more of them. Since they’re important to him I thought I should get to know them as his future…wife,” it was still a bit hard to say that.
Not that marrying Naruto was something she hated, in fact lately she was starting to get comfortable with the idea. She could have been chosen to marry a lot worse in her opinion. It was that she was sixteen and going to marry already at that age next month.
“Given that I felt I should meet them,” Temari added. “Plus we haven’t really gotten any visitors so I wanted to make sure they knew they were welcomed in our house hold.”
‘Although that pervert of a sannin better be on his good behaviour from now on,’ Temari darkly thought.
“Well that’s good to hear,” Iruka smiled at her. “I kept meaning to come by but I’ve been busy lately with all the tests this week. But I would like to stop by as I haven’t seen Naruto in awhile and want to see how he’s doing.”
Temari gave a small smile at the man, he gave off a very friendly vibe and he seemed to really care about Naruto. In their talks together she got the feeling that Naruto looked up to Iruka like an older brother in many ways. She could see that the feeling was mutual here as well for the older man.
“I was wondering thought,” Temari said. “Could you, tell me more about him. I mean every time I think I know more about Naruto something just comes up and well…”
Iruka gave a small laugh at that, “Yeah he’s very surprising isn’t he? I’ve known him for years and he still surprises me at times. So what would you like to know about him?”
“Anything you can tell me, I want to know what his life was like here at school.” Temari noted a slight drop in his smile.
“Well he was always a…unique student,” Iruka sighed. “He pulled pranks, got into trouble and he just really acted out a lot. Although I know he’s a good kid he just wanted attention and didn’t care how or what kind of attention he got growing up.”
“Because he was an orphan and didn’t have any family,” Temari stated but as Iruka nodded she felt like he was holding back something else but couldn’t place what it was.
“I lost my parents at an early age as well but I still remember them,” Iruka said solemnly. “It was tougher for Naruto since he has no memory at all of who his parents were.”
“Do you know?” Temari asked him.
“I’m sorry I don’t and I wish I did.” The older man sighed. “He once asked me himself when he was younger but I couldn’t tell him anything. He looked so sad at that and I can’t think or a worse thing for not knowing your parents or family.”
Temari thought back to her mother and brothers but when she got to her father there was no love for that image. She had nothing but a cold attachment to him, as he was a father in blood only to her. So cold to everyone even his own family, plus he had been the one to force the demon into Gaara. It was that she guessed that led to the death of her mother as well so to her she could have lived without knowing that part of her family.
“So how come his grade have been so bad?” Temari asked him who looked a little surprised by the question. “I’ve heard Sasuke call him an idiot and dead last many times and I found out he was at the bottom of the class but it makes no sense. He’s shown a lot more skill than most genin his age and even has some skills above a chunin.”
Iruka was surprised at that, sure he knew Naruto was special and had gotten stronger since his time at the academy but this girl’s claims were more than he thought that Naruto had done. Then again lately he had heard people talking about Naruto in a more positive light. Sure some people were still against him, mainly the civilian branch of the village but a lot of the ninjas had been impressed by him lately. The rumor of how he had defeated Gaara was also going around, many thought that was in some way linked to Temari being here as well.
“Really, how so?” Iruka asked interested.
“Well he can summon toads, I’m teaching him wind manipulation and he can use something called a Rasengan.”
Iruka was struck with surprise at the last part he knew what the Rasengan was, as did most of the ninja in the village. His surprise was later turned into a very proud smile as Naruto was starting to shape up into a great ninja.
“There’s something else I’ve been hoping to ask,” Temari had figured with the small talk out of the way she could get into the real heart of the matter. “I was hoping that if you knew his family then you could explain something to me but I guess that’s out of the question now. You see I’ve been noticing cold looks at Naruto, at first I thought it was me as I know there are many that still don’t like Suna. But the cold looks that Naruto gets seems to also be when I’m not close to him, I thought maybe the Uzumaki family had done something in the past and it fell onto Naruto’s shoulders.”
Iruka suddenly didn’t like where this was going, the girl was digging into Naruto’s past and that wasn’t good. The secret of the Nine Tails was an S-Class secret and so far the girl had noticed how some of the older generation still had a cold hatred for Naruto or at least what was inside of him.
“Well he has pulled many pranks in his life and some people never can forget or forgive,” he said to her hoping to evade the truth.
Temari didn’t looked convinced by that, “I thought about it but it wouldn’t add up with the amount of looks he gets. There’s something more and I had been hoping that to find out what the source of it was.”
Iruka could see that Temari was a smart girl who could see more than what was on the surface that was both good and bad. Good for her out in the field as that had saved lives of many ninja from failing to fall into traps and ambushes. But the bad thing was she was putting that into looking into Naruto’s past.
Temari was going to say something else but she was interrupted when a very loud voice was heard.
“Iruka-sensei!”
Temari turned to see three kids running into the room and they seemed familiar for some reason to Temari, specially the loud one with the long scarf.
“Konohamaru, what is going on why aren’t you three outside with the others?” Iruka asked them.
“We accidentally kicked the ball we were using onto the roof and hoped you could let us go up and get it,” Konohamaru said and then noticed the tall blonde girl there. It took a moment for him to realise that he knew this girl, the last time he had seen her she had been wearing a white battle dress and not the purple one she had on now.
“Ah! I know you!” Konohamaru pointed accusingly at her. “You were with that jerk with the makeup on his face!”
Then it clicked where Temari had met him, he had been the little brat that ran into her younger brother Kankuro.
“Konohamaru be nice, this is Temari-san who will be marrying Naruto,” Iruka told the young boy.
All three kids looked shocked at the news, Naruto had told them that he was stuck into this but they didn’t know who the girl was. Although this was something that he never would have thought that the mean blonde girl from before was marrying Naruto.
“Why does Naruto-niichan have to marry this girl?” Konohamaru pouted angrily.
Temari narrowed her eyes at that, was the kid implying that she wasn’t good enough for Naruto? She was the daughter of the late Kage, top of her class and one of the best damn Kunoichi in her age group and even in a few other age groups. She had given up a lot for this alliance marriage as well and she would be damned if this little brat said she wasn’t good enough.
With hands on her hips she leaned down to glare at the little kid, he had the good sense to take a slight step back from her. “Look brat, it’s not like either of us had a choice in the matter but we’re both making the best of it.”
“Yeah well you better be nice to him or else!” The little kid threatened although everyone in the room knew it was an empty threat, he was just trying to stick up for Naruto and look tough in front of everyone.
Temari looked at the kid and for a split second, she thought him almost a mini-clone of Naruto at that moment. In fact he acted a lot like the blonde boy and she started to see the influence Naruto seemed to have on him. The boy seemed to really look up to Naruto, almost with a kind of hero worship. She was wondering what he did to get the boy’s total respect like this.
Temari gave a small smile, “You really look up to him, huh?”
Konohamaru was puzzled by that for a moment, “Yeah.”
“Why is that?”
The boy wasn’t sure if he should say and looked to his two best friends who nodded. “Well, before him everyone called me ‘Honorable Grandson’ just because my grandpa is…was…” He looked a bit saddened at that. It still hurt that his grandfather was gone now. He had gotten over that fact that Tsunade was now Hokage but still it was a missing piece of his life that he would never get back.
“Was the Hokage.” He finished.
Temari hadn’t known that, in fact it was Orochimaru that had tricked her village into attacking and killed this boy’s Grandfather as well as was responsible for so much death.
“Everyone called me by that title and no one outside of my family called me Konohamaru,’ the boy continued. “Everyone treated me differently and I didn’t like it. It was like no one saw the real me and only this ‘Honorable Grandson’ they kept calling me. I wanted to be seen as Konohamaru, as myself.”
“But then Naruto was the first one to notice me, the real me.” Konohamaru’s face seemed to light up at this point. “He takes time to play with us and teaches us all kinds of things. He’s the first real friend I had before I met Moegi and Udon.”
“Yeah, Naruto-niichan is the best,” Moegi said as Udon nodded his head.
Temari should have known that Naruto would have this effect on people after all it was him that seemed to have changed Gaara for the better. Where ever he went the boy seemed to bring new life into the lives of others.
“So what has he been teaching you kids anyway?”
Iruka suddenly got a very bad feeling at this point when he saw the familiar glint in Konohamaru’s eyes. It was the same look Naruto gave before he pulled off that technique.
“He taught me this great move that he made up for dealing with perverts!” He then ran through the hand signs before Iruka could yell at him to stop. “Sexy Jutsu!”
Temari saw the smoke and the shock on her face would have been priceless to her brother. There before her was now a very attractive brunette girl in a seductive pose who was totally naked with a few pieces of smoke here and there. There was a thud as her head wiped around to see Iruka on the floor with blood from his nose. She then turned her attention back to the naked woman with a glare.
Konohamaru turned back into his normal form with his eyes closed in a huge smile, “What do you think? It’s one of his most famous creations.”
Temari didn’t say a word until she got close enough to the boy and gripped his ear very painfully, the boy yelled out as he tried to break away but she gripped it tighter letting him know that he wasn’t getting away and shouldn’t try.
“Are you telling me that Naruto, my Naruto made that…jutsu, and taught it to a kid!” Temari said in a angry tone.
“Y-yeah!” The boy winced as his ear was starting to hurt.
“I’m going to kill him,” Temari said as she let go of his ear, “I never want to see you pull something like that in front of me again are we clear?”
The three kids nodded as one as they took a few paces back in fear of the blonde woman. They watched as she stalked out of the room in search of her fiancé and teach him the proper things that you do and do not teach children. The Konohamaru corps watched her leave and were starting to pray that Naruto could either out run her or hoped she didn’t actually kill him. Iruka had managed to recover and although he didn’t like that jutsu (at least he wouldn’t admit to liking it), he had to be thankful that it got Temari’s mind off Naruto’s past.
‘This could end up bad,” Iruka thought as he cleaned off the blood on his jacket. ‘She’s getting a little too close, I’ll have to talk to Naruto about this as only he can be the one to tell her or at last he should tell her. She’ll have to know eventually but I just hope he can trust her enough to open up about this.’
-Later that Day-
Naruto and Sakura were walking out of the hospital both of them were happy that Lee was in high spirits for his operation and had already challenged Naruto to a spar when he got all better. Naruto being Naruto, agreed to it all too happily. Sakura was amazed that Tsunade could be able to heal the kind of damage done to Lee, she was truly an amazing person.
“I’m so glad that Lee will get better,” Sakura said as they walked on together.
“Yeah, I’m sure that Tsunade-baachan will heal him up in no time,” Naruto said with that ever present fox like grin on his face.
Sakura gave a small smile and nodded.
“Sometimes I wish I could be as strong as her,” Sakura wished out loud. “She’s one of the strongest ninja in the world and can heal so many things that most people would think impossible.”
“Hey you’re getting stronger every day Sakura-chan,” Naruto said to his friend. “Temari is helping you out and Kakashi-sensei isn’t being as lazy as usual, well except on those stupid D rank missions. But you shouldn’t sell yourself short, we’ve all have come a long way and we can all still get stronger together.”
Sakura was grateful for Naruto’s outlook, he always made things better for some reason. Still she had been wondering just what kind of ninja she wanted to be lately. She was learning her water jutsus and nearly got them down perfectly, her hand to hand was getting a lot better, her genjutsu was just above average mostly dealing with spotting and disrupting them.
Temari was a long range wind user with tactical thinking, Sasuke was a mid to close range fighter with his sharingan to copy the moves of the enemies made him a great fighter. Naruto she had to admit was just as good lately, his skills were growing so fast she couldn’t keep up with him. But what could she say of herself? She thought of other teams and how they blended well into each other, each person’s special talents complimented each other.
Tenten was a weapons mistress in the making, Neji was a great fighter and scout, Lee’s specialty in taijutsu, Ino with her mind abilities could gain information like no one else, Shino with his bugs, Kiba with Akamaru were great trackers and the list went on. So what could she say about herself that made her stand out? Overall she was very average so what was her strengths? She had great chakra control but what could that be used for?
So far the only two main options would be genjutsu but that wasn’t Kakashi’s specialty, if she had been put with Kurenai she was sure that she would have gone that route but the only other thing was medical jutsu and who could train in her in that?
“Hey Sakura-chan what are you thinking so hard about?” Naruto asked seeing how quiet she had been. Her face had taken on a serious thinking expression.
“Huh? Oh nothing just thinking about the future is all,” She said smiling at him, she didn’t want to worry him after all this was her problem and she wanted to be the one to figure it out. Naruto just shrugged and let it rest as they walked on, eventually they had to go their separate ways and said goodbye to each other.
Naruto was walking on his way to his home and wondered if Temari would be home yet. He smiled at that, it felt really nice to go home and someone could actually be there for once.
“Hey, Naruto!”
Naruto looked over and saw Iruka waving to him, the boy got a huge smile on his face he hadn’t seen him in awhile.
“Iruka-sensei!” Naruto yelled and ran over to him.
“How have you been Naruto?” The man asked him.
Naruto put on that foxy grin of his again, “It’s going great, I’m learning all kinds of new things and I’ve gotten tons stronger.”
“So I’ve heard,” Iruka smiled and then he got a more serious look on his face. “Naruto I have something important to talk to you about. But not here, it’s something we can’t really talk about in the open.”
Naruto blinked in confusion for a bit until he figured out what he was talking about and he felt his stomach sink. It had to be about the Fox as there was nothing else that Iruka could mean. Naruto nodded and they quickly left for Iruka’s apartment. Naruto sat down on the couch as Iruka sat down with him, and Naruto was a little worried about just what he wanted to talk about exactly.
“Naruto you should know that Temari came by the school today,” Iruka said to him. “She was looking into your past it would seem.”
Naruto got a very bad feeling at the moment, he had seen how smart she had been. Hell that shogi game she had brought with her he had never even came close to beating her and she knew a lot of things as well. He would have to say she was one of the smartest people he knew. If she put together that his birthday was the same day that the Kyuubi was defeated she might start to put things together.
He looked down at his feet, things were finally starting to go well and now if she found out about the demon she might hate him. It wasn’t fair how this stupid fox inside of him kept screwing with his life, no one had wanted to adopt him, no one would recognize him and he had been alone for most of his life because of it. Sure things had gotten a bit better lately but he was still afraid, it was the fear of being rejected and going back to that loneliness again that prevented him from telling his friends the truth.
He just didn’t want to lose more to the damn fox again, he had too much taken from him by that demon as it was.
“Naruto, maybe you should tell her before she finds out,” Iruka said gently to him.
“But what if she hates me?” Naruto asked him desperately. “I mean maybe she won’t find out?”
Iruka gave him a look of pity as the boy had to deal with so much in his life. “Naruto I think she might figure things out sooner or later, plus she’ll be your wife soon so doesn’t she have a right to know?”
Naruto felt a little guilty at that, he still remembered how on that trip to get Tsunade, he had ran into Itachi Uchiha and that strange fish guy. They had been after him because of what was inside of him, they had even gotten into the village and put Kakashi in the hospital as well. If they came again would they use Temari against him?
He could see them doing it as well and it didn’t seem right to put her in danger and not tell her.
“It will be better if it came from you then some stranger or if she figured it out.”
Those words hit him just as hard.
Naruto knew he had to tell her but in all honestly he wished he didn’t have to. How would he even begin to tell her this? Would she call off the whole wedding thing because of it or would she end up being cold to him for the rest of their lives together. Naruto felt like a pit of blackness in his core at the thought of that kind of life. He wanted her to at least like him but who would want to be with someone who had a demon in them?
Ever since he had found out what was inside of him he had been scared to tell anyone but now he didn’t have a choice. He thanked Iruka for telling him and he walked out of the apartment with his hands in his pockets and a downcast look. Iruka felt bad for Naruto but he had to tell him what was going on and he had to make the choice of what to tell Temari.
Iruka just prayed that things would work out for the boy.
